Debra LoCastro '05
Debra LoCastro '05, Google representative, returned to campus in early October, jumping from résumé reviews to networking sessions to meetings with student leaders.
In her eight years with Google, LoCastro has risen from sales associate to university programs lead. She manages the student outreach team, helping students learn about career opportunities at Google. Here, she shares her ideas on how the tech world and companies like Google value graduates from schools like Colgate.
Why is Google interested in students with liberal arts degrees?
I majored in psychology, but I also took classes in math and statistics. Liberal arts schools encourage students to bring those types of studies together so that you're not just learning about them alone, but rather in cross-study, which mimic real-world applications.
How does your Colgate degree fit into the tech and business world?
Having exposure across fields is an indicator of success in the business world. For example, at Google I started out in advertising sales. Having an understanding of psychological behavior and being able to build relationships, while also having experience in math and being able to crunch numbers quickly, was very important.
How are liberal arts degrees viewed in the application process?
I work with liberal arts students to help them understand the opportunities we offer at Google in addition to engineering (such as advertising sales and people operations). For nonengineering roles, we evaluate liberal arts degrees just as we would an undergraduate business degree. We're trying to find holistic thinkers and people who are good at a lot of different things.
What are some of the things you were involved with on campus, and how did they help you in your career today?
I worked with the Breast Cancer Awareness Coalition, and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. I also volunteered with the elderly at Madison Lane Apartments and did research in a psychology lab. While none of the specific things I did on campus foreshadowed me working in people operations on our student outreach team, I was consistently passionate about helping people, building relationships, and promoting good causes.

Married Female looking for female/s to share a cruise
My name is Paula and I have been on three cruises with family and friends. I am married for fifteen years (mid-thirties) and would love to go on a Met. cruise. I have been eyeing a cruise for a couple of years now that leaves from Barcelona on Royal Caribbean. It goes to Southern France and Italy. I have never been to Europe and have always dreamed of going.
I am looking for someone (ONLY FEMALE) that is single or married with/without children (I have a twelve year old son) that might be interested in going around May of 2006. I go to college and don't get out of school until early May. I am studying to be a teacher. I love reading, staying up late, watching the different shows on cruises, non-smoker, and I like to do lots of activities on a cheap budget. I live in Indiana and I would definetly like to talk alot before making a big move like this. Three or four women in a cabin would sound great to me.
My email address is [email protected]
I will check back here often.
Re: Married Female looking for female/s to share a cruise
Hi, I'm a teacher, and my vacation times are set in stone, BUT I really wanted to do a Mediterranean cruise for my 40th which is in March. I'd be willing to postpone my March cruise if we could put together a 4-person room sailing after the first week of June. I'm fluent in French (I teach it), and passable in Spanish. I studied Italian for only one semester, but could pick it up quickly.
I'd love to cruise to that destination, but cannot go in May.
Let me know,
Re: Married Female looking for female/s to share a cruise
HI Lisa,
I would love to go on a cruise if we could get a couple more people possibly to cut the cost down. I'm actually starting my blocks this fall and the spring semester is going to be the worst out of all four semesters (excluding the last semester of student teaching YIKES!!).
My son goes to summer camp for Boy SCouts in June (around the 3rd week). Would that be OK with you? I will know for sure in June. I'll have to look but I don't think they have the dates for next year yet.
Where are you from? You can email me at my school address if you want to ask any personal questions.
I will look for more details and let you know. Can I email you or would you prefer me to write here for awhile?
Talk to you soon, Lisa.
Anyone else interested in a ladies trip to the Mediterranean?
Re: Married Female looking for female/s to share a cruise
Ah, yes, I realize that you did mention 2006 in your original post. Definitely keep me in mind for that cruise, but again, summer I have more free time. We'll know our 2006 calendar by the end of this school year.
And good luck in your "blocks" (not sure what that is, but it might be on-site experiences?) In university, I really wanted to continue on to law school right away but knew that I needed a paycheck sooner rather than later. It was the best decision of my life. Nothing has been more rewarding professionally than teaching, and I'm still pursuing law. Best wishes, and yes, by all means, email me all you like.

* EU concerned about steps that may hurt humanitarian aid
* Israel angry at EU bar on aid to Israelis in occupied land (Adds Palestinian official expects talks in Washington on Tuesday)
By Allyn Fisher-Ilan
JERUSALEM, July 26 (Reuters) - Israel has blocked the European Union from aiding tens of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank, in retaliation for an EU ban on financial assistance to Israeli organisations in the occupied territories.
The EU imposed its restrictions last week, citing its frustration over the continued expansion of Jewish settlements in territory captured by Israeli forces in the 1967 Middle East War. The new guidelines render Israeli entities operating there ineligible for EU grants, prizes or loans, beginning next year.
An Israeli official said on Friday the Jewish state was compelled to respond to the EU's decision "to sanction or boycott the settlements".
"From our standpoint we cannot just ignore this or treat spitting in our face as though it is rain," the official said.
Settler leaders say the aid they receive from Europe is minimal. But many in Israel worry about knock-on effects the EU steps may have on individuals or companies based in Israel that might be involved in business in the settlements, deemed illegal by the international community.
The Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon had decided to suspend contacts with the EU in the West Bank.
Yaalon, a former army chief and a hardliner in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, has "frozen projects, cancelled meetings, curtailed coordination and permits for Europe's operations" for Palestinians living in what is known as Area C, a West Bank area fully administered by Israel, he said.
In Brussels, Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said: "The EU is concerned by reports in the Israeli media that the Israeli Minister of Defence has announced a number of restrictions affecting EU activities supporting the Palestinian people.
"We have not received any official communication from the Israeli authorities. Our delegations on the spot are seeking urgent clarifications," Kocijancic added.
A Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that due to the Israeli measures, several European humanitarian aid staff had failed to receive permits to enter the Palestinian-ruled Gaza Strip.
Under the terms of a 1993 interim peace accord, some 150,000 Palestinians, many of then poor farmers and shepherds living in Area C, a West Bank zone where many settlements have been built, are fully under Israeli military control,
The Palestinians have limited self-rule over other parts of the West Bank, and share joint custody with Israel over yet other areas.
Some of Europe's assistance in the West Bank goes to Palestinians for building homes. But many have been designated illegal and demolished by Israel.
The Association of International Development Agencies, a coalition of 80 aid groups, said in a report in May that 600 settler houses had been built since mid-2012, while Israel demolished 535 Palestinian-owned homes and structures.
The United States, Israel's main backer, has been trying to revive peace talks that have been deadlocked for three years and are aimed at reaching an agreement for the Palestinians to establish a state alongside Israel.
After months of painstaking talks with both sides, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said two weeks ago they had laid the groundwork for a breakthrough.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators may meet in Washington as soon as on Tuesday, July 30, a senior Palestinian official told Reuters on condition of anonymity, after an Israeli minister's said on Thursday that talks were likely by next week.

Can you see the random forest for its leaves? The Leaf Classification playground competition ran on Kaggle from August 2016 to February 2017. Kagglers were challenged to correctly identify 99 classes of leaves based on images and pre-extracted features. In this winner's interview, Kaggler Ivan Sosnovik shares his first place approach. He explains how he had better luck using logistic regression and random forest algorithms over XGBoost or convolutional neural networks in this feature engineering competition.
Brief intro
I am an MSc student in Data Analysis at Skoltech, Moscow. I joined Kaggle about a year ago when I attended my first ML course at university. The first competition was What's Cooking. Since that, I've participated in several Kaggle competitions, but didn't pay so much attention to it. It was more like a bit of practice to understand how ML approaches work.
The idea of Leaf Classification was very simple and challenging. Seemed like I wouldn't have to stack so many models and the solution could be elegant. Moreover, the total volume of data was just 100+ Mb and the process of learning could be performed even with a laptop. It was very promising because the majority of the computations was supposed to be done on my MacBook Air with 1,3 GHz Intel Core i5 and 4 Gb RAM.
I have worked with black-and-white images before. And there is a forest near my house. However, it didn't give me so much profit in this competition.
Let's get technical
When I joined the competition, several kernels with top 20% scores were published. The solutions used the initially extracted features and Logistic Regression. It gave . And no significant improvement could be achieved by tuning of the parameters. In order to enhance the quality, feature engineering had to be performed. Seemed like no one had done it because the top solution had slightly better score than mine.
Feature engineering
I did first things first and plotted the images for each of the classes.
The raw images had different resolution, rotation, aspect ratio, width, and height. However, the variation of each of the parameters within the class is less than between the classes. Therefore, some informative features could be constructed just on the fly. They are:
- width and height
- aspect ration:
width / height
- square:
width * height
- is orientation horizontal:
int(width > height)
Another very useful feature that seemed to help is the average value of the pixels of the image.
I added these features to the already extracted ones. Logistic regression enhanced the result. However, most of the work was yet to be done.
All of the above-described features represent nothing about the content of the image.
Despite the success of neural networks as feature extractors, I still like PCA. It is simple and allows one to get the useful representation of the image in . First of all, the images were rescaled to the size of . Then PCA was applied. The components were added to the set of previously extracted features.
The number of components was varied. Finally, I used principle components. This approach showed .
Moments and hull
In order to generate even more features, I used OpenCV. There is a great tutorial on how to get the moments and hull of the image. I also added some pairwise multiplication of several features.
The final set of features is the following:
- Initial features
- height, width, ratio etc.
- Moments
The Logistic Regression demonstrated .
The main idea
All of the above-described demonstrated good result. Such result would be appropriate for real life application. However, it could be enhanced.
The majority of objects had certain decision: there was the only class with and the rest had . However, I found several objects with uncertainty in a prediction like this:
The set of confusion classes was small (15 classes divided into several subgroups), so I decided to look at the pictures of the leaves and check if I can classify them. Here is the result:
I must admit that Quercus' (Oak) leaves look almost the same for different subspecies. I assume, that I could distinguish Eucalyptus from Cornus, but the classification of subspecies seems complicated to me.
Can you really see the random forest for the leaves?
The key idea of my solution was to create another classifier, which will make predictions only for confusion classes. The first one I tried was
RandomForestClassifier from
sklearn and it gave excellent result after the tuning of hyperparameters. The random forest was trained on the same data as logistic regression, but only the objects from confusion classes were used.
If logistic regression gave uncertain predictions for an object then the prediction of the random forest classifier was used. Random forest gave the probabilities for 15 classes, the rest assumed to be absolute .
The final pipeline is the following:
The leaderboard score was calculated on the whole dataset. That is why some risky approaches could be used in this competition.
Submissions are evaluated using the multi-class logloss.
where - number of objects and classes respectively, is the prediction and is the indicator: if object is in class , otherwise it equals to . If the model correctly chose the class, then the following approach will decrease the overall logloss, otherwise, it will increase dramatically.
After thresholding, I got the score of . That's it. All the labels are correct.
What else?
I've tried several methods that showed appropriate result but was not used in the final pipeline. Moreover, I had some ideas on how to make the solution more elegant. In this section, I'll try to discuss them.
XGBoost by dmlc is a great tool. I've used it in several competitions before and decided to train it on the initially extracted features. It demonstrated the same score as logistic regression or even worse, but the time consumption was a way bigger.
Submission blending
Before I came up with an idea of Random Forest as the second classifier, I tried different one-model methods. Therefore I collected lots of submissions. The trivial idea is to blend the submissions: to use the mean of the predictions or weighted mean. The result did not impress me either.
Neural networks
Neural networks were one of the first ideas I tried to implement. Convolutional Neural Networks are good feature extractors, therefore, they could be used as a first-level model or even as a main classifier. The original images came with different resolution. I rescaled them to . The training of CNN on my laptop was too time-consuming to choose the right architecture in reasonable time, so I declined this idea after several hours of training. I believe, that CNNs could give accurate predictions for this dataset.

What does fake meat taste like?
Just like chicken, according to some.
A new chicken substitute product, made from soy, pea powder, carrot fiber and gluten-free flour, bares the closest resemblance to the feathery fowl in taste and texture, according to some who have tried it.
According to ABC News, several retailers in San Francisco who carry the product already are sold out.
The chicken alternative is the product of a decade of research by two professors at University of Missouri. The owner of Beyond Meat – the producer of the product – holds the license.

Scenery and the arts draw adults to Spring Green
The Spring Green area, an hour west of Madison, is the Wisconsin Dells for adults.
Rather than careen down a giant water slide at the Dells, you can canoe and kayak down nature's slippery finger, the Wisconsin River, when you visit Spring Green. A 92-mile stretch of the lower Wisconsin is ideal for leisurely paddling, and you can beach your vessel on a lovely sand dune at the town's back door.
Riding the Ducks in the Dells is a particularly exciting and uncommon adventure for children. Touring the eccentric House on the Rock between Spring Green and Dodgeville is a more adult way to sample the unusual.
The Rick Wilcox Magic Show in the Dells baffles minds from 7 to 70. A different kind of theatrical magic is spun in summer and fall at Spring Green's American Players Theatre.
And the magic of visual perception, brilliantly employed by local boy Frank Lloyd Wright, is celebrated by Taliesin Preservation, Inc., which offers the opportunity to marvel at the world famous architect's creations 51 years after his death. The Spring Green area is where he chose to live most of his life, and the public can taste the rich flavor of his work and esthetic at the museum and learning center that survives him.
I first traveled to Spring Green in 1980 to report on the founding of a new classical theater company, the American Players Theatre, and as a theater critic, I have returned several times each year.
That adds up to nearly 100 trips to the Spring Green area, nearly 500 meals consumed there, and more than 7,000 hours of free time exploring the nooks and crannies of what is known as the "Driftless Area" of Wisconsin. It's called that because the land was not touched by glaciers, resulting in some of the state's prettiest scenery.
Here are my suggestions for dining, things to see and other activities in greater Spring Green and several nearby communities.
For breakfast and lunch, don't miss the Spring Green General Store, an institution here. You have a good chance of encountering an American Players Theatre actor eating the house specialties, which include burritos, chili and hummus. True to its name, the general store sells everything from earrings and women's apparel to beer from microbreweries and greeting cards.
My suggestion for dinner is The Bank Restaurant and Wine Bar, somewhat hidden inside the 1915 Neoclassical Revival style building that initially housed the State Bank of Spring Green. Located on Spring Green's main drag, Jefferson Street, the restaurant blends an attractively designed interior and ambiance with an excellent wine list and gourmet menu that does not require you to empty your account at the bank.
The natural beauty of the Spring Green area has appealed to artists dating back to the early 20th century, when Frank Lloyd Wright began work on Taliesin, his 600-acre estate. Browsers and serious shoppers can check out the Wisconsin Artist Showcase at the Jura Silverman Gallery in the heart of the village's downtown. Everything from prints and paintings to handmade paper and art furniture are on display.
Walk a few blocks and check out the No Rules Gallery in the Albany Street Shops, across the street from the General Store, where jewelry, pottery, tiles and stained glass abound. Its sister shop, Bird of Paradise Tea, has expanded to include tables and home baked pies. The gallery and tea room are connected by an interior wall opening.
Panacea, which is in the same cluster of businesses, offers an extensive array of soaps, gifts and kitchen items. And Convivio, a few blocks away, is popular for its mix of art, wine and tableware.
Wright's Taliesin complex is just over the Wisconsin River south of Spring Green. Six tours, all starting from the Wright-designed visitor's center, offer a detailed look at the architect's life and work. The Riverview Terrace Cafe, operated by Madison's Hubbard Avenue Diner, serves lunch, dinner and a great view in the visitor's center.
You may not know that the American Players Theatre now mounts shows in a 201-seat indoor theater as well as on its much loved outdoor stage. It is one of the best classical theater companies in the country.
If you think you don't like Shakespeare, catch one of the Bard's comedies there. You'll be surprised.
After the theater, head for The Shed. It is known for its tasty bar food, outstanding pie and good vibes.
Another of those Spring Green institutions, The Shed is where the APT actors go to unwind after performances. Take your theater programs for autographs.Page 1 of 2 (view all on one page)

What is ELI?
Alli: ELI takes women who have leadership potential and gives them confidence and empowers them to act and make a positive change.
Nina: ELI stands for the Emerging Leaders Institute. It is essentially a seminar for Thetas interested in becoming more useful, skilled, and courageous leaders. It brought together 60+ leading women from all over North America, including Canada. It helped us analyze how each chapter interacts with its school community and allowed us to brainstorm ideas for possible actions we could each take to improve Theta in our home chapter.
What was the most memorable part of ELI?
Alli: The most memorable part for me was when they asked us to write down what was holding us back from doing something and so many people said confidence or the fear of failure.
Nina: The most memorable part for me while I was at ELI was we played an activity that involved every Theta. We responded with "always, sometimes, or seldom" to questions about how our chapter behaves on campus, and it was very eye opening to see how each chapter reacted differently to each question. It made me realize that some chapters have the same problems we do, and that some chapters deal with situations I've never even thought about.
What were you surprised by during ELI?
Alli: ELI surprised me because it formed bonds between me and sisters that lived across the country in four short days. We still talk to each other everyday and check in.
Nina: I was pretty surprised that not all of the facilitators were Thetas. Half of them were males and the other half have worked with Theta before but were never Thetas themselves.
What was ELI's impact?
Alli: ELI impacted me because it gave me a lot of confidence and redefined my definition of leadership. Going forward, I'll use what I learned at ELI to strive for positive change and to give others as much confidence as possible because that's what people told me was holding them back.
Nina: I felt that ELI has allowed me to become a courageous and heartfelt leader, and to always share my ideas even if I don't think people want to hear them; because if I think that I have a good idea then someone else might too, and if not then we can work together to come up with a better solution to the problem we are facing. I believe this ideology will also follow me throughout other aspects of my college career and hopefully beyond. Overall, I found ELI to be an eye-opening experience that also allowed me to make friends with Thetas all across America and Canada.

Everyone here has been the opposite of helpful. This place is over crowded with: locals with big egos together with a slavery mindset and french neo-colonists. I can be misdirected that so many times here. Yes the language service is poor and deceiving. Avoid it and join other centers or study french elsewhere. This advice is for both foreigners and local vietnamese.

I have been to this establishment at least 10+ times and have spent quite a bit of $$$. I will never go again. I purchased food and sat down waiting for it. When the guy (Quan) brought it to me, he stated in front of a room full of patrons in his broken English, "I cannot bring other drinks inside" looking at the bottle of water I had brought with me. I told him that I just purchased food! it wasn't like I just walked in and sat down without purchasing anything. He persisted rudely, and said 'No no I can't do that!'. He was so nasty about it, and I said 'are you expecting me to leave now?' He said, "You better know for next time not to." I let him know, 'there won't be a next time.' These people KNOW I have been a regular customer in the past few weeks I have been there. No more. To make a huge issue out of something like this is ridiculous! Furthermore their prices are way too expensive - paying western prices in Vietnam for these food/drinks is also a royal rip-off. This place has lost my business. Would not recommend. Awful attitude and no appreciation for their customers/repeat business.

Devoid of morals, ethics, education, care and knowledge. This company is rotten from the core. Total lack of leadership has meant in a year 2 directors (same job) have left, 2 academic managers have left (1 after a month), most of the good teachers have left. New contracts want to make us work 40 hours a week for less money than we earn working 100 hours a month! When things seem like they cant get worse, they do. The centers are dirty, badly run and understaffed. Our scheduler used to lose registers, room numbers or not inform me a TA had called in sick. My new job doesn't have problems like these and I think more people will leave Language Link soon. The feeling of doom was overwhelming by the time I left.

The new person who claims to be the CEO came in and just turned everything into a right mess (he isn't even the CEO, just a charlatan). All our support staff were cut, the filipino teachers were all fired on flimsy pretenses, and my manager (who had decades of experience) was pushed out. Management never speaks to the teachers or even tries to understand what we do . We were all forced into meetings with the fake CEO, who in reality is just a manager, and talked at. The facilities are falling apart and classrooms do not even have projectors. The Schools Link program within the same company is a much better option and certainly we feel pretty lousy coming to work and seeing their teachers undergoing regular training and having events when we get disrespected daily. At least the new manager (fake CEO) can help you with getting 420! Embarrassing to work here at the moment.

I meant to write this review for these guys for a long time. After staying at a house for 2 years, our landlord decided to change a lot of the deals with our house, we started looking for a new house. After spending days looking on the internet, we drove around all the West lake area to find a new house. Nothing came up for us.
I came across Alpha Housing, I called Mr. Tue, told him what we wanted, and the day after we found our house after following him to see several houses. They were very patient and not pushy, helped us to negotiate the contract even though they represent the landlord.
I can recommend him and I will use him again if I need it.

I was lucky enough to see Ngọc with another student at a cafe and instantly saw she was a good teacher. I have studied with her for more than one year and she has helped me improve my level significantly. Ngọc is very patient and funny so the classes are never boring. She knows exactly what I need in class and supports me there. The most important thing is how she make me feel very comfortable and not pressured when speaking a new language. I can't imagine how hard it would be to live in Vietnam without her.
She's also very flexible with her schedules and will help you work as hard as you are willing to go.
I highly recommend!
mmpilot on Hanoi Transfer Service

Bad tour experience with an aggressive and dangerous driver
On the occasion of my 58th birthday, my wife and I planned a trip to Vietnam from 8 July 2019 to 17 July 2019, starting with two nights at the Oriental Jade Hotel in Hanoi, then a three-day cruise with Bhaya Cruises in Halong Bay and after another night in Hanoi from 13 July 2019 to 15 July 2019 a three-day tour in the mountains of North Vietnam to the Ban Gioc Waterfalls and Ba Be Lake. We requested an offer for this tour on June 23, 2019, at "Hanoi Transfer Service", the allegedly most professional tour provider in Hanoi and already one hour later we received the desired tour offer by an employee named Lily Ngoc at the price of 210 US dollars per person. Another hour later, we received another email from Lily saying, that she had mistakenly given us the wrong price. If there were 1-2 people in the group, it would be 270 US dollars per person. We agreed with the new price and Lily sent us an email with a link to a Vietnamese payment portal, where we paid the full price. A few minutes later we received confirmation from Lily that our payment had been received and that we would be picked up at 8 am on 13 July 2019 in the lobby of our hotel. Thus the booking of the tour was completed on 23 June 2019. Payment and tour details were confirmed by "Hanoi Transfer Service". So nothing could go wrong, we thought.
But then, on 29 June 2019, we received an ominous email from Lily. She would be sorry that she could not "clarify" the tour for us. We could only participate in the tour on 23 July 2019 in a smaller group. I replied that we were only in Vietnam until the morning of 17 July 2019 and that the new date did not work for us. The tour had to take place as confirmed by her from 13 to 15 July, because we had no other time frame available for it. Then Lily wanted to move the date to July 12-14, which was not possible because of our cruise in Halong Bay, which ended on July 12 afternoon. We offered Lily to cancel the tour for a refund of our payment, as she was not able to deliver our booked tour. She replied that her manager could reimburse our payment, but that she would be punished for it. Therefore, she would now try to organize our tour as a private tour with a personal driver and tour guide, if we were willing to pay another 25 US dollars per person. We agreed, paid the additional 50 US dollars and received confirmation from Lily on June 29, 2019.
On July 12, 2019, Lily re-confirmed by email our pick-up from the hotel the next morning at 8 am. On 13 July 2019, in time at 8 a.m., we were picked up at our hotel by our tour guide and driver. The car was a dented little Toyota Vios with more than 400.000 km on the speedo and a worn-out backseat, for us no pleasant view on the upcoming 800 kilometers, but this was no reason for a complaint to us. However, already in the first kilometers, we noticed that our 29-year-old driver practiced very aggressive driving in the dense traffic of Hanoi. He put other road users under pressure, who was in his way, with horn, headlight flashes, and extremely tight drive-ups, before he passed them recklessly. This continued on the motorway but was now supplemented by constant abrupt lane changes between all three lanes. After 130 kilometers we reached the mountain area, where our journey became even more dangerous by daring overtaking maneuvers on winding and unclear roads. Several times overtaking maneuvers had to be stopped by emergency braking, because suddenly oncoming traffic appeared in front of us or it was just enough to retighten after overtaking, but only because the oncoming traffic braked to avoid an accident.
Meanwhile, we feared for our lives and asked driver and tour guide for a slower driving style as well as for omission of these dangerous overtaking maneuvers. The driver was visibly annoyed by our request and complained in Vietnamese. The tour guide said we should just relax, close our eyes and get some sleep.
Now the driver switched into a kind of inconvenience mode by reducing the speed on straight road sections to 20-30 km/h and alternating the steering wheel to the right and left, so that we were constantly thrown back and forth on the back seat. As soon as there was a curve again, he suddenly accelerated and let the car drift through the curve with screeching tires, followed by an emergency brake to tear the steering wheel again permanently on the straight track in creep speed. So it went on for three hours until we finally reached our first homestay overnight destination in a small village 50 km west of the Ban Gioc waterfalls at the end of our strength. The stay there was very nice, our hosts very friendly and caring. In the evening, in a relaxed atmosphere, we sought again the conversation with the tour guide and driver. We said that we experience the trip in constant fear, sometimes even in fear of death, and would, therefore, like to ask them to make the next day's trip safe and comfortable for us. The driver apologized for the inconvenience and promised us improvement.
Overnight it had rained heavily so that streets and villages were flooded up to 40 cm high the next morning. We drove off to the Ban Gioc Waterfalls and in fact we could enjoy for the first time a halfway safe and pleasant trip, which was probably less due to a mind change than to the flooded road conditions, because on the following trip to the Ba Be Lake with meanwhile better road conditions we had the same problem again.
At the next toilet stop, we refused to continue and said that we would not drive one meter more with this driver.
Our tour guide admitted that he understands us and that he would try to find a solution. After a phone call, he said that he couldn't do anything about it. He didn't have a driving license and therefore couldn't drive. I asked him if I would have to drive then. Yes, he said, that would be a good solution. He talked to the driver until he agreed after some nagging. The driver apologized by saying that he has his driving license already for eight years but had never driven in the mountain area before. So far, he had only driven the flat stretch of motorway from Hanoi to Halong. That was one more reason for us to refuse the driver. Fortunately, I had my national and international driving license with me. So I sat at the steering wheel, my wife beside me and on the back seat driver and tour guide, who enjoyed the remaining 150 kilometers to the Ba Be Lake visibly relaxed and sleeping most of the time. I hadn't imagined it that way, but it was better than being helpless at the mercy of this crazy dangerous driver.
Also the next and final day I took the driver seat again for the final section back to Hanoi. When we left the mountains, the driver wanted to take the wheel again. After weighing the risks of his already known highway driving style and the good persuasion of the tour guide, we finally agreed. But nothing had improved. The aggressive and dangerous way of driving culminated finally in the fact that the driver while operating his mobile phone did not recognize a traffic jam in front of us. After an outcry of my wife he noticed and after an emergency braking we came to the stop only a few centimeters behind a truck at the end of the traffic jam.
We were now completely at the end of our nerves and just wanted to arrive at the hotel. The further motorway trip was, as usual, pushing, needing, honking, abrupt lane changes. Finally, we reached the city limit of Hanoi, the last 20 kilometers to the hotel through the evening rush hour our final torture in the pouring rain.
Our tour would have been a fantastic experience in almost untouched beautiful landscapes, but this terrible driver has not only spoiled that experience for us, but he also ruined our whole holiday and the memories of it. We have done many tours in Southeast Asia with tour providers, but this tour with "Hanoi Transfer Service" was the worst and most dangerous tour we have ever experienced.

Worked in Vietnam for a few years now and at some of the big schools. This is by far the better one I've worked at.
Pay is decent, schedules are good, nice holiday too. They have workshops and check in on you to ask how you're getting on so I've definitely learned some new skills while being here.
Quite a bit of test marking at the end but manageable. Management is friendly and helps out a lot. HR is really supportive.

Soif we can go the atomic way we should in my opinion.On i.mx the roots in the clk hierarchy are plls, so it would be nice toknow how long it takes to enable these.Back when I implemented clk support for ns921x I had a clock that mademe think that a sleeping implementation would be the way to go. I don'tremember the exact details. (It was the rtc clk.)A quick look into Digi's BSP (digiEL-5.0) shows they implementedsomething I suggested earlier here: static int clk_enable_haslocknchange(struct clk *clk) { int ret = 0; assert_spin_locked(&clk_lock); BUG_ON(!test_bit(CLK_FLAG_CHANGESTATE, &clk->flags)); if (clk->usage++ == 0) { if (clk->parent) { ret = clk_enable_haslock(clk->parent); if (ret) goto err_enable_parent; } spin_unlock(&clk_lock); if (clk->endisable) ret = clk->endisable(clk, 1); spin_lock(&clk_lock); if (ret) { clk_disable_parent_haslock(clk); err_enable_parent: clk->usage = 0; } } return ret; } static int clk_enable_haslock(struct clk *clk) { int ret; assert_spin_locked(&clk_lock); if (__test_and_set_bit(CLK_FLAG_CHANGESTATE, &clk->flags)) return -EBUSY; ret = clk_enable_haslocknchange(clk); clear_bit(CLK_FLAG_CHANGESTATE, &clk->flags); return ret; } int clk_enable(struct clk *clk) { ... spin_lock_irqsave(&clk_lock, flags); ret = clk_enable_haslock(clk); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk_lock, flags); return ret; }I think the idea is nice. At least it allows with a single lock toimplement both, sleeping and atomic clks without the need to mark theatomicity in a global flag.In the meantime Sascha checked on mx51 how long it takes to enable oneof the three PLLs: 50us.

Poisonous Spider Bites - Treated Naturally at Home - Updated
I was first introduced to the Brown Recluse Spider, at a camp ground - when we were camping with some friends over Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Some of the Biblical Feasts of YHVH). When we met a family who made these kits and was starting to sell them. The mother proceeded to tell me about these spiders and how dangerous they were, their experience and how they came to start this small family business. I was intrigued, but we lived in PA at the time and the Brown Recluse are not very prevalent up there, so I chalked it up to "nice to know" and left it at that. I shared what I had learned with my husband and he reminded me that a friend ours from Oklahoma, was said to have been bitten by a brown recluse spider that went untreated and added to further complications which lead to his DEATH in the hospital while being treated! (How could I forget that??!!) Well, about three or four years later, YHVH (God) moved my family to Tennessee. I remembered, these two instances of the Brown Recluse. When we were camping here on the farm for our first 6 months rebuilt the house, we started seeing the Brown Recluse everywhere! I looked up the kits the lady who had developed them was selling several years ago and bought one, so that I might be prepared! It's major components were activated charcoal and a tincture of plantain, lobelia and echinacea tincture in a grain alcohol base. It comes with detailed instructions and there is lots of info on their site. I recommend having one on hand if you live the region of poisonous spider or snakes. I started my research and learned many things about Activated Charcoal. Since then "charcoal" has become a household word 'round here and made it to the top of my list of emergency/poison/sickness/survival remedies to have in stock and has been used for lots of things since then.
Now, back to real time - as I type I have 5 brown recluse bites on my legs right now!
I am not sure when it happened, but I suspect it was when I was on the field (with my children) clearing out our Wild Passion Fruit Patch and trellising them hoping to get fruit from them (i have seen them in our high grasses before) OR it happened in my sleep. I never saw the culprit and can only surmise it from the wound's development - which I had previously studied and "brushed up on" with a live example before my eyes!
Let me introduce you to the Brown Recluse Spider:
As you can see here by this picture, he is a very small spider, his body maybe a 1/4 inch and with legs added - you are looking a little over an inch big.
The best defining mark is the violin shaped marking on the front portion of the spider's body. (This is his back - NOT his belly, like a black widow's identifying hourglass mark.) They are quick and small and are called recluse for a reason; They like to hide and be left alone. They don't usually go looking for trouble - but if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, they will react defensively. I liken them to grumpy little hermits. :-)
My photos turned out pretty crumby, so I am not going to post them. Thankfully I caught my bites in their early stages of development.
All 5 of my bites were on my legs. One on my calf, one at my ankle, one behind my knee and the one on my inner thigh (that was a double bite). The one on my ankle swelled quickly and got a hardened ring around it as it blistered and a purple redness started to spread redness spread. The other two, had the very purple red under layer that started to spread quickly and small bumps on the surface. You could see a very small bite entrance (similar to any bug bit). In a nutshell, the poison from the spider's bite spreads quickly and eats the flesh away from the infected area. The site is very susceptible to infection and is usually treated with amputation and can lead to death in severe cases.
I instinctively started putting Activated Charcoal paste poultice on the bites and covered it with a bandage, even before I realized what they were. All but one, I put bentanite clay on it to start. The ones that I put charcoal on showed healing right away and it took me a day longer to identify the the 4th and 5th bites, because they were behind the knee. My DH saw those (thank you Yah!!). By this time I was confident what they were and was diligent to see their treatment through!! I didn't want to "play" with the bentanite clay any more, so I kept treating using a charcoal poultice. (This is simply taking activated carbon and mixing a little pit of water in it to make a wet paste and applying it to the bite. Then I covered it with a band aid each time.) I have done this a few times a day. Then I pulled out the kit I had bought and started using that. I think that the charcoal alone was doing the trick just fine, but I figured, "better safe than sorry". ;-) The tincture stung because of the alcohol. The instructions suggested diluting it more if that be the case. They also suggested doing it more frequently than I had been doing it, but I was making progress. I didn't fuss about it. I will continue treatment for one day after the symptoms subside to be sure I go all the poison out. I also noticed that when I was off my feet, it's healing progressed faster. I had a big day of canning and it had inflamed and started looking scary. It calmed back down in the night and the next day I decided I best stay off my feet. This also allowed to apply fresh treatment a couple more times and that is when the quickest healing progress too place. So that is definitely important. If it were anyone else, I would have insisted that the wound be elevated and the patient be still. ( And I would do that differently next time, if it were me!)
Although I have not had this personal experience yet - research shows that charcoal can also draws out the toxin of the black widow spider bites and poisonous snake bites too. I have been informed by locals that only SOME of the hospitals in our region have black widow serum, so you need to know which one to go to (even though they are prevalent in our region!). I asked, what if you don't know what it was and they take you to the wrong hospital - and don't figure it out til you get their? The reply was, they try to get send for it, or transfer you there - whatever they find would be the quickest scenario at the time. Can you believe that?? From what I read there is no serum for the brown recluse bites.
If you research Brown Recluse bites - you will see how gruesome and dangerous they become if they go untreated. And I had 5 at once!!! Who gets bit 5 times at once? That is crazy!! However, I am very thankful that I became aware of my bites and that I had the materials and understanding to respond quickly. They are almost completely healed now I am thankful for the experience to know what to look for for the safety of others. Praise Yah!
And to top it all off, do you know what? One day prior to my bites my girlfriend emailed to tell me her son had been bitten by a Brown Recluse! She started treating his with crushed plantain leaves and coconut oil. Than started using the charcoal on it. Her experience was the same. She said she was gonna write it up for me to share on the blog because she thought people should know about this. Who knew that I would get bit (5 times!) the next day and have my own story to tell??? So if you are reading this...apparently Yah wants YOU to know!! :-)
Update: I wanted to include this comment from a reader ( Cindy) who had valuable information to share on the seriousness of this bite if it goes untreated quickly. (You can better see how much I have to thankful for, abd how valuable charcoal is in your emergency kit.):
"The more you move around the more the poison travels.Keep still and keep it elevated.Brown Recluse poison will kill off your kidney.That is how most die.Drink lots of clear fluids and watch your urine..and if you get any fever haul it to the hospital.We have known 4 people of dying from the bites..up to 2 weeks after the bites happened.Red streaks,swelling
chills nausea..go to the DR.
Praise God for the info on the charcoal..I believe you are on a great healing tract...but please be cautious and smart!! Your family needs you. "
I also want to include a link to where you can buy medical grade Charcoal and a book that will teach you all about it from a missionary doctor's experience serving in the third world. It can treat SO MUCH MORE than poison bites, so please get informed and use this affordable natural and very effective element in your emergency/ health care kit! It is one I will teach my children about and not be without in my own.
Also, here is a link to a very informative article on Brown Recluse bite effects from emedicinehealth.com
This post was shared at the Preparedness Challenge
Update: January 2013
I have had the opportunity to treat several more brown recluse bites since I wrote this post and I have modified my technique. This fall I helped a lady who's infection had and was continuing to advance very rapidly. It was eating away the flesh in the center and made it very hard to change the dressings with out taking her deteriorating skin with it. There were two things I learned that I will do as standard procedure whenever possible from now on - whenever possible.
1. In addition to the charcoal, I like to add about 1/4th part ground flax seed and then activated by hot hot water mixed and needed into a "dough". This has wonderful healing properties in itself - which I am not going to go into. But what I found was it's most valuable contribution was how it changed the texture of the dressing. When treating any wound it allows the dressing to come on and off much easier without sticking to the would. It's consistency is much like silly putty. This was very helpful when dressing the deteriorating skin of the advanced bites. But it also appreciated on all the skin. The charcoal can feel gritty when wiped off to change the dressing. The other very important benefit - is that it keeps the charcoal wetter longer. When the charcoal dries, it is no longer actively pulling. This slows the pull rate. Buy keeping it as moist as possible between the dressing changes, it not only requires less dressing changes, but it also is more effective because it is drawing without rest- that is IDEAL. It makes dressing changes so much easier, less painful and faster for the you and the victim. Lastly the other nifty thing about this method is that you can make a little batch of it ahead instead of having to prepare a poultice at each dressing change. This is very NICE! Especially if you are way from home. If can be stored in a little glass container - which always my preference. I know people who have used plastic pill bottles or zip lock bags..but with charcoals drawing power..i just don't trust it in plastic. But you want to keep it air tight. Then you can just pull your little hunk off the "dough" and use it.
2. The other thing I have added is fresh plantain leaves - whenever possible. I learned that by spreading the poultice onto a plantain leaf and then applying to the wound, it was much more tolerable to the victim. This eliminates the need to rub it on the wound. Then you just turn it upside down onto the wound gently. This can also be done with gauze. However, if you use the plantain leaf you have the added power of the plantain drawing and healing - even though it on top of the charcoal. It plentiful, it grows everywhere in the US and can be found in almost every yard!

Wow Cindy! Thanks for that information. I am so sorry to learn of your losses in the people you knew who were bitten. I did not know "what" was the organ to get compromised if things progressed (kidney)- so I really appreciate your information and knowing to watch urine. The more details and the better! That is very helpful!
I am doing very well - but still peek at my spots. 4 of the 5 bites are very hard to even find any more (any evidence is invisable) one you can still see the mark but their is no sign of infection or posion any longer. I really think we "did good" on this. (But will remain attentive to my body's cues.)
Praise YHVH! I am so thankful for knowing how to respond and having the supplies on hand to do it.

Oh how nice this would have been to have read this about a month ago! I was stung by a scorpion (2nd time for me in a year.) Thankfully, they are not deadly, just irritating. I tried to syphon the poison, but I absolutely could not find the poison's point of entry for the life of me. My foot was swollen, numb, irritated... I will definitely need to keep this 'activated charcoal' on the front of my mind. :).

I had bad experience with brown recluse, it's worst spider..it's bite can put you in hospital for twenty days...horrible..
- May 30, 2012 at 4:46 PM
Seems strange that brown recluse spiders would be outside running around and attacking in numbers. Sounds nothing like that spider. They get their recluse name because they like to stay well hidden and not outside. They are shy and don't run after people. Getting bitten 5 times by one of those is ridiculous. My mother has a brown recluse infestation in her walls. And I question the truth of this post.
- July 23, 2013 at 1:50 AM
- MommySetFree said...
I didn't say they were outside and "running around attacking in numbers". I thought it was pretty "riduculous" too that I got 5 bites at a time!! However, true none the less, whether you choose to accept it or not. I said I wasn't sure when I was bitten and that I suspected the field, (because I was hiking in LOTS of tall grass with bare legs below the knee and remember shooing something)...and I also suggested that it could have been while I was asleep at home cozy in my bed. I will never know WHEN it happened, it mght not have been in either of those places. They are small and stealthy and can go undetected, even after a bite. A single spider can bite more than once, and will if he is disturbed. You are right - they do not go looking for trouble - they are not an aggressive spider in that respect. Yet people DO suffer bites, especially in our region. I like to think of a BR as a grouchy old man who does not like his space invaded - so they snap when it is.
Anyway - I have been biten every summer/fall (often more than once) since I have lived rural TN, on our farm. I have never been bitten or known anyone to be bitten in the winter for some reason. Warm weather seems to "bring them out". It is no biggy though since I know how to treat them with the charcoal. I have treated others too. One was a friend at a campground so they don't seem to mind the great outdoors - they can always find little places to hide.
I have seen the culprit(s) in other bite-instances (after this post) leaving the scene of the crime and the bites were exactly the same...so I know that I did not misdiagnose the culprit of this particular event - even though I did not witness him.
I do not know where your mother lives or what her climate or circumsatnces are. AC may keep them at bay - I do not know. I do not presume to speak about what I do not know. However, I do choose to speak about what I DO know....and that is how to treat a bite when you DO get it..because for some REDICULOUS reason..I get them (and so do others I know.)
I hope your momma never gets bit, but if she does - please consider this method of treating it. It IS effective and much better than what the hospitol offers. Have a blessed day.

I have been told that unless it is accompanied by a rash and other symptoms to leave it alone (or just ice). Home remedies have been known to make it worse
- September 4, 2014 at 11:29 AM
Hi, my name is Leslie and I have often used a slice of raw potato that has been diced up to cover the bite with, it has drawn out the poison and helped to heal spider bites for me also. It also takes away the itch and soreness. Would like your opinion to that.

- MommySetFree said...
That is interesting and worth remembering. That might be an easily accessible alternative! I don't have an opipnion on it sonce I have not yet applied the idea. Have you tried it on seriously poisionous spider bites (like brown recluse, hobo or black widow?) or the milder ones? I would be open trying it on myself one day and comparing...since I know I have a proven tried and true method on hand at my figure tips if it does not work for me..and my expeirance with it eases my conscience on what to watch for. Thanks for the tip! You have peaked my interets to explore it.

I am afriad their may be a bit of misinformation or a piece of the puzzle missing here. I am referring to POISIONOUS spider bites from brown recluse, black widow or hobo spiders. These do not form a rash and depending on a person's immune system, their reation to the venum and the deverity of the bite..this can be life threatening or possibly result in amputation. I have ssen the flesh root away fro the inside from such bites. I had a friend hospitalized which let to complications and death in the end. I don't think it would be wise to "let it go" or just apply ice to this type of bite. (Which is a insufficient home remedie.) Ont he other hand, I have seen, treated and witnessed and heard testimonies of about 50 people who have used this and every single one - no exceptuons - has seen healing and reversal of the venom running and spreading... so I would please ask you to reconsider all the information at hand. A
regula spinder bite and other bug bites....sure...let'm go - but a little ice on to numb the itch or comfort a sting...but this is quite another type of bite.
- November 29, 2014 at 8:09 AM
- MommySetFree said...
I should also clarify that the symtoms you will see with brown recluse which is where my greatest experiance is - is a red circle expanding from around the bite. An itching and soreness - like a bad bruise and burning sensation. The last three symtoms can happen seperatley or together or be missing. In other words, someone may itch and burn, but not has soreness. SOmeone else may not itch - but burn instead. But the red circle expanding out is always present, then as it advances, a streak of read will connect to a near by vain and start tracing toward the heart. Sometimes there is swelling, then the flesh starts rotting away at the center of the circle (at the bite's point of entry), and expand outward like the radious of the circle. Usually when it reaching this point - the hospitols will treat it similar to gangreen and recommend amputation. (Depending on where the bite is located.)
- November 29, 2014 at 8:17 AM

There is a serum for black widow that hospitols can give..if they have it. Not many do - even in regions where they are common - like ours. its pretty crazy to think that would be overlooked as standard issue in hopsitols in this day and age...but it is not - according to my research. As far as I now - there is no serum for brown recluse or hobo.

Great information. Regarding the multiple bites, the 5 bites on the leg; I'm not surprised at all. It was very likely just one spider that either got trapped inside the pants leg or was under the sheets and felt trapped while sleeping and rolling on the spider. I had a similar thing with 3 bites all in the same area of my leg. One spider continuing to feel threatened and kept on biting.
I'm very excited to try the charcoal. My solution has always been the bentonite clay with the combination of tinctures: Lobelia, Plantain, and Echinacea. Sometimes I'll even add Goldenseal tincture for its antibiotic properties. This wet clay under a bandage always seems to do the job, rapidly reversing the problem. For little BR bites I'll often just dab some Tea Tree oil on it a couple times over 2 days and that will fix it. But a bigger bite that swells up and gets red and itchy, the clay has worked wonders. Now I'm planning on trying the charcoal and even the suggestion of the crushed/powdered Flax Seed. I woke up with a fairly decent sized BR bite on my arm this morning. We get a few bites a year in our house here in Eastern Missouri. They seem too be very prevalent here. It's our common house spider. And true, they are passive and defensive and ONLY bite when we accidentally press on them in our sleep or when reaching for something on a shelf or in the dark basement or yard shed. And our log pile is full of them. I won't grab any logs before the first big freeze of the year without gloves on.
I'll try to report back and share my experiences. Thanks so much for this wonderful and incredibly helpful thread. I'm amazed at how many people here in St. Louis, MO don't know what to do with these bites and go to the hospital for an antibiotic.
Be safe!
