The town of Volkovysk is located on the bank of the Volkova River. In 2005, the town marked its 1000th anniversary. Remains of the ancient town-fortress survives on the Swedish Hill (it was inhabited in the 10th century).
Volkovysk turned into a town, the centre of crafts and trade, in early 12th century. The fortress was transformed into a castle. On January 11, 1386, in the castle Polish ambassadors signed a document which confirmed that Jogaila would be elected Polish King and would marry Yadviga. The town started growing fast after it was granted the Magdeburg Right in 1503. Today in the town you can see the two-tower Catholic Church of St. Nicholas (the 18th century), the Waclaw Catholic Church (the middle of the 19th century), the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas, the BagrationŌĆÖs House (1805), where on June 10-17, 1812, the headquarters of the 2nd Army was stationed, front houses of the 18th ŌĆō the first half of the 19th century.
There is the town of Gnezno 3 kilometers away from the regional centre. The town was founded in the end of the 14th ŌĆō the beginning of the 15th century. Gnezno is mentioned in the Lithuanian ancient documents as a village of the Grand Duke of Lithuania. There is the Catholic Church of Mikhail Archangel (1527) ŌĆō an interesting specimen of architecture showing the transition period from Gothic to Renaissance, a mansion with two wings and utility premises (the 19th century), remainders of an ancient garden with original water system in the town. There are an old garden and one-store palace of the middle of the 19th century in the village of Podorsk. Since the middle of the 18th century till 1939 it belonged to the Scipio del CampoŌĆÖs Family. There is the SegenyŌĆÖs Palace (the middle of the 19th century) in the village of Kraski. Today this is a childrenŌĆÖs health centre.
The village of Mstibovo (Mstibogov Gorodok, Mstibogov, Mstibov) has been known since the 18th century.
The village of Yarilovka is located three kilometers away from Mstibovo. It si famous for a house, where Belarusian and Polish artist A.I. Kamenskiy lived in 1885-1890.
The village of Petukhovichi was mention in the first half of the 16th century. Since the middle of the 18th century the village belonged to the Flemings who renamed it in honour of daughter Izabelin. There is the Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul (1778) and the Church of St. Michael (the 18th century) in the village. The village of Ross was first mentioned in the beginning of the 16th century. There is the Trinity Catholic Church (1856), the Holy Trinity Orthodox Church (1912) in Ross. From the beginning of the 18th century to 1939 the village of Ross belonged to the Pototsky Family who laid a garden, some fragments of which survive.
The village of Volpa takes its roots in the 16th century. It belonged to the Duke of Golshany and Bishop of Vilno Pavel Alshmunt, then to Queen Bonna. The estate also belonged to Chancellor of the Great Principality of Lithuania Lev Sapega and his son Kazimir Lean who received King Wladislaw with his wife there. The estate was seized from the last owner ŌĆō Pavel Sapega for his participation in the November uprising of 1831. Stefan Batory used to hunt near Volpa. There is the Catholic Church of St. John (1773) in Volpa. You can also see the Orthodox Church of Alexander Nevskiy (the middle of the 19th century) in the village of Kuzmichi.
There are more than 10 stone burial grounds of the Yatvigi tribes in the region.
The mines where silicon was extracted and processed in the Stone and Bronze Ages which are located near the settlement of Krasnoselskiy. The mines are the only ones in Eastern Europe. More than 80 practically undamaged mines survived. There is a burial ground of the 3rd millennium B.C., settlements of the Iron and Middle Ages in the area. In 1969, the Krasnoselsk archeological compound was announced as the national reserve.

What to Put Under Furniture on Hardwood Floors
It's one of the most common household issues – What to use under your furniture to protect your hardwood floor? While you can find all types of felt furniture pads to use under your furniture, unfortunately those allow furniture to slide and they rarely last long enough. We know this problem, we've had to deal with it and we did something about it – We created DURA-GRIP® pad to place under all types of furniture to prevent any damage to your hardwood floors.
What is DURA-GRIP®?
Unlike the common felt pads found in most stores, DURA-GRIP is much different. It is a 3/8″ thick pad that is made of a dense fiber center with a layer of natural rubber on the top and bottom surfaces. So, the dense center works to prevent penetration to the floor, keeping any weight of furniture from affecting the floor. The natural rubber sides work by the top adhering to the furniture to hold it in place and the bottom grips to the floor to prevent sliding – The result is a furniture gripper pad like no other that keeps all types of furniture in place on all floors and prevents damage to those floors.
We make DURA-GRIP in our own warehouse through a multi-step process. Excess cuts from our rug pad orders are utilized in the manufacture of DURA-GRIP. Through a few steps, we attach two pieces of our Ultra Premium rug pad together to form the finished product. Since there are various types and sizes of furniture, we offer DURA-GRIP in round and square shapes and ten sizes – there's sure to be one available for any piece of furniture. And, for those unusual shapes and sizes, we also offer custom DURA-GRIP made to fit any shape and size. For recliners, DURA-GRIP has become quite popular as we custom make it to fit perfectly under the base of the recliner keeping it in place under all uses.
How to Order and Use
Ordering DURA-GRIP is simple at www.rugpadcorner.com. You choose the shape and size closest to your furniture leg and place your order – There are sets of four and eight, so be sure to choose the amount necessary to place under each furniture leg. We'll ship your order within one business day and when you receive it, you can put them to good use. The pad will have tan colored rubber side and a purple colored side – Place the purple side against the floor and tan side against the furniture. That's it, theres nothing to stick or nail and DURA-GRIP starts working immediately.
If you have furniture that is always moving and you would like it to stay in place, try DURA-GRIP furniture gripper pads – These pads are very effective for use on all hard floors and now available for furniture on carpet as well. Unlike any other, our pad simply sits under furniture without any sticky mess or anything to tack or nail. That said, you may use it under any other furniture when necessary.

Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many
|Assigned to
|Ayatana Design
|Matthew Paul Thomas
|Messaging Menu
|indicator-messages (Ubuntu)
|thunderbird (Ubuntu)
|Chris Coulson
Bug Description
By default, when new emails arrive in Thunderbird, they *sometimes* highlight the messaging menu. As described by Chris Coulson, a message highlights the menu if:
"- The message is sent with high-priority OR
- The message is flagged (by a filter) OR
- The message is addressed directly to the recipient (eg, not CC) AND the message is not low prioirty AND the message wasn't automated AND the message is not from a mailing list."
This is good behavior for some people, but not for others, e.g. ViViD: "In my personal case, no message received through Thunderbird lacks importance. Since I hide the launcher by default, many mails go unnoticed for a time and I find myself randomly mousing over the launcher to check mails."
To suit more people, Thunderbird should contain a setting for which messages highlight the messaging menu. One option should be to highlight messages if they are from one of your contacts.
This setting needs design, and then proposing (and maybe implementing) upstream.

Thunderbird actually does turn the icon blue already, but not for all messages. The reason for this is people complained to me in Oneiric that the icon was being turned blue far too much. In fact, for some people (including me), the icon was blue pretty much permanently as long as Thunderbird was open, and this reduces the usefulness of the messaging indicator for notification of real-time messages to pretty much zero. In fact, people just got so fed up of it that they were asking me how to disable this feature in Thunderbird entirely.
I did consider making Thunderbird never turn the icon blue, but made a compromise which turns the icon blue in the following circumstances:
- The message is sent with high-priority OR
- The message is flagged (by a filter) OR
- The message is addressed directly to the recipient (eg, not CC) AND the message is not low prioirty AND the message wasn't automated AND the message is not from a mailing list
Some real life examples of how this works:
- If your boss sends you a message, it will turn blue
- It will not turn blue for normal mailing list traffic
- If someone replies to a message you sent to a mailing list, it will turn blue
- If Amazon sends you a marketing message which isn't marked as spam, it will not turn blue
- It will not turn blue for bug mail traffic (unless you have set up filters to flag messages you are particularly interested in, eg, bugs with high importance or bugs you are assigned to)
- If Facebook emails you with a friend request, it will not turn blue.
It has been like this for pretty much the whole 12.04 cycle, and so far people have been much quieter about it (ok, it could be that they got so sick of the icon turning blue in Oneiric that they just disabled the feature entirely and are no longer using it). I think the current implementation works quite well though, and I'd prefer suggestions to improve it rather than just turning the icon blue for all messages.
Remember, we also show a count on the launcher, which is displayed all the time by default in Precise.
And, if you want the icon to turn blue for all messages, we have an about:config pref for that. But you'll soon realise how annoying that is if you get more than a dozen or so mails per hour.
The current implementation is more like Gwibber, which keeps counts of messages in the messaging menu without turning it blue. IMO we should only really turn the icon blue if we think that the message is important enough to interrupt your current workflow. Most e-mail does not fall in to this category.
|Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) wrote : Re: [Bug 957922] Re: Indicator-Messages should turn blue when new emails land in Thunderbird
Chris, good move to apply a natural "to me" filter. In addition,
however, I think we need a toggle which lets me flag the people who I
consider "important", and have emails from those people ONLY turn the
message icon blue.
Ideally, there would be a central addressbook, and I could favourite
specific contacts, and those contacts only would turn the message icon
blue. In T-Bird, perhaps this could be done with an option to activate
the message icon only for messages tagged [Important, ] where the user
could edit those tags?
Later on, I assume we'll have a central addressbook, and can do it more
But for now, the blue hint is not useful for anyone who receives a lot
of mail they don't expect to read.
|nick rundy (nrundy) wrote : Re: Indicator-Messages should turn blue when new emails land in Thunderbird
Mark, isn't what you describe the responsibility of the user? If person is receiving lots of mail they don't expect to read he/she should configure the mail client to filter these mails as Mark As Read when they arrive. This way no Blue Hint occurs because the message is not New/Unread.
I have lots of situations like this. I have my mail client configured so that only mail I want to know about (if it arrives) is marked as Unread when it arrives. The other stuff I can read or not read at my leisure but it always lands as Read due to my config.
Seems like having to do a "'"to me' filter" etc is making the Blue Hint unnecessarily complicated.

@Chris: "And, if you want the icon to turn blue for all messages, we have an about:config pref for that. "
My email (work) has multiple aliases so I very rarely get emails directly to my login address. Maybe including the send-aliases too as "directly sent" messages would help...
Anyway I've searched around for the about:config pref you mentioned (to set the icon to blue for all messages) but I can't find it / work out what it is. Could you please tell me what it's called?

It appears that this check is case-sensitive, so the envelope won't turn blue if the email address (as entered by the user) contains upper case letters.
I agree with the sentiment that there should be an option to have the envelope turn blue for any email in the inbox folder.

The more complex the settings, the more people they'll be ideal for, but the fewer people will understand them to use them in the first place. I think we should aim for no more than about three or four possibilities.
Here's a first draft:
[/] Show in the messaging menu:
(*) Any message
( ) Any personal message
(Messages not marked as automated, where I'm in the To: field)
( ) Any personal message from someone in my Address Book
Messages flagged by a filter will always be shown.
Probably we should default to the first setting -- not because it will be appropriate for most people, necessarily, but because the sort of people for whom every message is exciting are likely to be the same people who never find their way into the Preferences.
The second option would differ from the current default in that it doesn't pay attention to Priority, and it would include messages that were CCed to a mailing list but To: you.
Any alternative suggestions?
Please provide some more flexibility. The people who find their way into the preferences are likely to want more freedom in the way their messages are filtered.
For instance, an extra Priority-based criterion (e.g. "Do not show low priority messages" as an additional entry) could be a simple way to allow further customization without adding too much clutter. In fact I can define a filter in Thunderbird that lowers the priority of messages I consider unimportant, so they don't activate the messaging icon. This already works fine for me with the current default.

I have a global inbox, three email addresses, and some 30 filters that sort my email into some 20 folders under my inbox. In Oneiric, the messaging messaging shows all new mail in the inbox and its subfolders, and reports which subfolder the messages are in. That's extremely handy for me.
By comparison, in Precise, the messaging menu is not helpful. I have made the recommended fix (extensions.
Personally, it'd be very helpful to me if the messaging menu would report emails the way it did/does in Oneiric.

Luke Wilson often plays characters who seem zoned-out from Day 1.
In coscreenwriter and director George Gallo's so-so "Middle Men," he's playing Jack Harris, a straight-laced Texas businessman who, in the late 1990s, becomes involved with porn stars, Internet hucksters, Russian gangsters, and Vegas con men.
Since his involvements are, legally, semilegitimate, he thinks he's clean.
All the while, he remains eerily aloof from the proceedings, and, increasingly, from his wholesome wife and young son.
Is Jack, who is patterned on a real-life character, sociopathic or just plain clueless? Gallo doesn't seem to care. He cares about parading before us lowlifes living the high life.

Tissue discovered at a McDonald's parking lot in Hartford early Thursday morning did not come from a human fetus as originally reported to police, according to police.
Police were investigating an apparent fetus found in the parking lot of the fast food location at 170 Washington Street, but the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed that it was not human tissue found. Police said the fetus reports they received were therefore false.
Police responded Thursday morning after a 911 call from a McDonald's employee. Officers put up crime scene tape cordoning off part of the parking lot as they investigated.

Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) document the potential environmental and public health effects of large-scale development projects. Historically, EIAs are produced by industry consultants and evaluated by regulatory agencies, in a process that's largely devoid of perspectives from affected communities. But this is changing: novel uses of data and digital platforms by concerned citizen groups, such as data transparency projects, participatory mapping platforms, and funding of independent impact analysis, are increasing capacity for public scrutiny of EIAs. Such projects are expanding public discourse by drawing out concerns for equity, democracy, and community values.
In this New Tools presentation, Kirk Jalbert explores these relationships through the story of communities grappling with natural gas liquids pipelines at different stages of development in Pennsylvania. Opposition to pipelines has moved to the forefront of anti-extraction movements due to their implications for locking regions into long-term energy development dependencies.
Comprehensive impact analysis data on proposed pipeline routes and their likely impacts are rarely provided to the public. However, in a number of groundbreaking cases, advocacy groups have partnered with capacity building organizations to discover and publicly analyze sources of data to produce alternative EIAs. These efforts have enabled narratives countering claims of pipeline safety and necessity, thus reshaping dynamics of power between concerned citizen groups, regulatory agencies, and industry.

Just before noon today, John and Diana and I launched one of the two canoes for our use to take a paddle up Bayou Castille. John prefaced our trip by stating that it had been many years since he had been in a canoe. Diana remarked that she was a boater, not a canoeist. Alrighty then.
We got ourselves out into the bayou. It's been over forty years since I've been paddling in the front of the canoe; I'm usually in the stern and doing the steering. It was a bit unsettling for me. (On second thought, it was a lot unsettling for me) I could just imagine us tipping over as the canoe seemed to be rocking back and forth too much for my comfort.
I had my life vest on and the bayou is not very deep, but I was most concerned about ruining my camera. It took me a while to settle down.
In our journey, we did come upon an active Osprey nest. The nest was perched in the tallest tree along the bayou. If you really scrutinize the picture on the right, you can see the adult taking off from the nest as we tried to silently approach.
John did a fine job of steering us for our paddle, but I think in the future I'll be more comfortable in the stern. I may even inflate my kayak so I can take a more leisurely paddle on my own down the back inlets of the bayou for picture taking opportunities. I guess I'm a more slow and steady wins the race kind of person that prefers to investigate small nooks and crannies rather than cover greater distances.
It was a glorious day to be out on the bayou, and I was surprised at the beautiful homes we saw bordering the water as we made our way north.
I'd like to give a little update on yesterday's post. It garnered some very interesting comments. Yes, I do remember the Grit Newspaper from my time in upstate New York, and I didn't know that GRITS stood for Girls Raised In The South. I'll be sure to give grits another try, but I really feel it needs additional ingredients to make it pleasant to eat.
On the squirrel front, today I just stuck my hand outside the window in the shape of a gun and shouted 'Pit-chew' loudly like a shot from a gun. It seemed to have the same effect on the squirrels and Emma as the actual pellet gun does. Go figure… (of course that could be due to the bee-bee gun that is being used nearby)
As far as the spreadsheet of all of my expenses is concerned, I've decided to not log everything into the spreadsheet. Instead, I'll be keeping all receipts in a bag for a month or two to see if I can wean myself off of the dreaded recording bit. I will be on guard for 'creep', however…
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy

LUNG FORCE Giving Day Aims to Raise Funds for Critical Lung Cancer Research
(November 17, 2015) - CHICAGO
For more information please contact:
Allison MacMunn
M[email protected]
Today, the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE national initiative is encouraging Americans to support critical lung cancer research by participating in LUNG FORCE Giving Day.
Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of women, killing almost twice as many women as any other cancer, yet only 1 percent of women have it on their health radar. On any given day, 289 women will be diagnosed with lung cancer. And on that day, their lives – and the lives of the people who love them – will be dramatically changed forever. Grammy Award-winning singer Patti LaBelle, knows this only too well. She lost two of her sisters to lung cancer in their early 40s. Patti is sharing her powerful voice to help educate about lung cancer and to ask for help.
"Like my sisters, most lung cancer cases are diagnosed too late, when treatment options are limited. More lung cancer research is needed to make a difference," said LaBelle. "That's why your donations can help support critical lung cancer research and education."
Only 17 percent of lung cancer cases among women are diagnosed early when the disease is most treatable. More personalized treatment options and early detection methods are needed to help the more than 100,000 women who will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year.
A donation supports the Lung Association's investment in lung cancer research and public health promotion of information on early detection, clinical trials, biomarker testing and the need for more federal research funding. On one day – November 17 – you can change lives for the better by participating in LUNG FORCE Giving Day. Now is the time to learn more about this disease and help us defeat lung cancer and support the health of our mothers, daughters, sisters and loved ones. While anyone can get lung cancer, we can all help by making a donation to support research and save lives.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America® will match every gift, dollar for dollar up to $100,000 to support the 100,000 women diagnosed with lung cancer each year. Supporters can donate and share their voice at LUNGFORCEDay.org.
"Lung cancer has almost doubled among women since 1975," said Harold P. Wimmer, National President and CEO of the American Lung Association. "It affects our mothers, daughters, sisters and loved ones at any age, across every ethnicity. The Lung Association has invested $6.49 million in research in 2015-2016, more than doubled its investment in lung cancer research, and it's our hope that today's Giving Day will bring us closer to defeating lung cancer."
The Lung Association is asking Americans to share their voices in the fight against lung cancer. Visit LUNGFORCE.org to learn how to participate or share your voice on social media using the hashtag #ShareYourVoice and #LUNGFORCE. You can also join the conversation on the LUNG FORCE Facebook page and follow LUNG FORCE on Twitter.
About the American Lung Association
The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, through research, education and advocacy. The work of the American Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to improve the air we breathe; to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families; and to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. For more information about the American Lung Association, a holder of the coveted 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and a Gold-Level GuideStar Member, or to support the work it does, call 1-800-LUNGUSA (1-800-586-4872) or visit: Lung.org.

There's an elephant in the room at BVSD. With one in every five children coping with some range of dyslexia, you would think BVSD should acknowledge the problem and be part of the solution. They are not.
Parents in the district are asking why there is no basic screening for the most common warning signs of dyslexia, especially in kindergarten, when interventions are the most crucial. Time and time again, BVSD parents have asked for structured literacy programs to be taught in the classroom because those have been shown to benefit all students, not just the 20 percent of struggling readers. Our BVSD teachers are unsupported in both recognizing dyslexia and providing these kids with research-proven effective strategies to learn to read and write.
Both our teachers and our dyslexic kids are working hard with the wrong tools, and there is little progress. Dyslexic kids are as intelligent as their peers, yet they are made to feel like they are stupid because they remain unrecognized and not instructed by the methods they need.
When reaching out to BVSD administrators for help, parents are smothered with doublespeak about BVSD serving all students and partnering with the community for a success effect. Families are confused, upset, and desperately searching for help. Well-off families are reaching out to private tutors and a local nonprofit school for the much-needed help their kids deserve. This is not the right to a public education. The one-in-five statistic tells us that there could be as many as 5,000 students with some range of dyslexia, the most common learning difference in BVSD, many of whom are still to be identified and provided effective reading instruction.
When parents spoke to the school board this time last year, after many frustrating years of advocacy up the BVSD administrative chain, some board representatives took an interest in the subject. Yet another year later there is little done to help the kids.
Taxpayers expect funding to be spent on the most effective literacy interventions, not on outdated belief systems and teaching philosophies. When research is being dismissed in favor of our failing "whole language" approach, we understand why literacy rates haven't moved in 20 years. In case you are wondering: yes, other districts are doing better. Other states are doing better. BVSD administrators need to take responsibility for what is happening here in our district and do better for own children, neighbors, and friends.
I created a parent advocacy group that is working hard in many ways to encourage change within BVSD. Reading is one of the most basic of educational goals. We need leadership now!

Robyn Hood #3 (Published by Zenescope; Review by Draven Katayama; 'Rama Rating: 6 out of 10): The premise of this recently launched series is that expert archer Robyn Hood and spellcaster Marian Quin have been transported from a magical land to the concrete jungle of New York City. Robyn's archery ability is regrettably underutilized – she shoots one arrow in this issue, and her grappling fighting style makes her more akin to Black Widow than Hawkeye. I like Robyn and Marian's friendship and dynamic as equal partners. Claudia Balboni's foreground characters are too starkly set off from the background, at times giving a video game-like aesthetic. A welcome surprise is that the interior art is not evocative like most Zenescope covers. Pat Shand is developing two fun leads into multifaceted characters. Robyn and Marian's solid teamwork is a rare find.

Teen dies playing chicken with train
Austin Price was a sweet and caring 15-year-old boy, the type who was quick to pay compliments and always asking how others were faring, his friends said.
He was the kind of boy who liked to make people laugh, who would be late for class because he was picking up a friend.
In short, Austin Price was the type of boy who would have been comforting his friends and classmates at San Lorenzo High School on Friday - had it not been for him that they grieved.
The Hayward youth was struck and killed by a northbound Capitol Corridor train when he failed to leap out of its way in time while playing a game of chicken with two other boys on the tracks near his school about 6 p.m. Thursday, police said.
The two other teens weren't hurt, said Alameda County sheriff's Deputy April Luckett.
Many at the San Lorenzo school said the entire community walks near the train tracks, but students in particular hang around them often - and Principal Tovi Scruggs said that is a constant worry. Signs on the fence separating the tracks and the school warn students not to tread too close: "It's trespassing," they read. "It's dangerous. It isn't worth it."
"It's an ongoing concern," the principal said. "Tragedies don't happen frequently, but we know the tracks are not staying empty."
Many boys play chicken
Boys at the school frequently played chicken with trains, according to Olympia Pereira, 16, a friend of Austin's since sixth grade. "They played all the time," she said. "It was just a game."
"People won't be by the tracks anymore," 16-year-old Tania Montes added softly. Tania said she had been good friends with Austin since fifth grade.
All day long Friday, a solemn air hung over the campus and its 1,500 students. Girls carried tissue boxes around campus, their eyes red and dazed. A large sign hung in the main courtyard reading, "Austin, we'll miss you." Teachers displayed photos of Austin, who was a sophomore.
The school held several moments of silence in Austin's honor, and grief counselors were on hand to offer support.
"He was a good person - one of those good people you come across every day," Olympia said. "He genuinely cared."
Olympia, Tania and a group of friends gathered on a bench at the school Friday, laughing quietly at their memories of Austin. They said he dressed as if he didn't care what people thought of him, but he was always shaking out the shoulder-length hair he had been growing out since last year, friends said.
Had Austin been there Friday, he would have been late for class, his friends said, because he would be swinging by Tania's home to walk with her to school. He'd be wearing a hat and sagging shorts and "telling people they were beautiful," said friend Tijara Francis, 15.
'Life is precious'
Tijara said Austin's sudden death made her look at her life a little differently.
"It makes me feel like I take life for granted, that I'm wasting time," she said. "I don't want to do that anymore."
Principal Scruggs echoed that sentiment as she walked back onto campus after speaking with Austin's family Friday.
"Life is precious," she said.

Past History
After settling in New York in 1989, I expanded my English vocabulary mostly by reading the New York Times. This is when I started collecting newspaper articles in a systematic way.
The articles I chose described circumstances which concerned me personally and triggered my interest since they dealt with a specific problem which I experienced in a similar fashion. I was particularly attentive to sayings that were short and to the point while actually covering complicated facts, making them easy to remember.
Case History
Totally new and therefore fascinating was, that topics were often presented and discussed in a ruthless manner, as in the following examples:
CH example 1: Memory
CH example 2: CATCH-22 [ Remark ]
b) Hide
c) Show
CH example 3: Various other topics
On the visual level however, one particular aspect immediately caught the eye: in my view, the image editors at the New York Times chose ten times more interesting pictures than their counterparts at European newspapers, such as the "Tages-Anzeiger", let alone the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
Obvisouly, and contrary to Europe where the word takes center stage, the printed image was given priority in the USA.
In contrast to US media that zoom in closer and place emphasis on communication, European newspapers more frequently base their choice on 'corporate identity', neat appearance, and the satisfaction of visual conventions held by their long-term subscribers: come fall and you always have your standard image of a leafless tree in a foggy landscape.
Coming to such a new understanding of images, or rather of the way they were chosen, led to my fascination with the hand in press photography.
This is how the HANDBOOK began.
In the STUDY BOOK 1984-86, the guiding question - beyond exercising my hand in drawing and concentration - had also been: why was I interested in this image or why I had chosen this particular one rather than another?
It was finally the sheer accumulation of images that would answer this question. However, for the time being, the meaning or the red thread through the collection remained hidden. Since it was hardly preconceived, it would only reveal itself gradually, through the collection as a whole.
Ballet of Incomprehensibility
The hand as a figure in newspaper imagery may be the part of the picture that most easily escaped control. There were shapes and forms that one could hardly imagine. It was also due to the fact that the hand never was the focal point: the hand was simply there.
Had one commissioned photographers to shoot hands, the esthetics of the author would have transpired sooner or later. Possibly those hands would even be presented with precisely adjusted photographic lighting. At any rate, diversity would have been limited and it would have been impossible to avoid the esthetic signature of the artist. Yet in photographes that appeared in the printed press, mainly in the New York Times, something different happened to these hands: clearly, here, the much overused topic of the hand recovered explosive actuality.
It became the OBJET TROUVE, thus allowing an approximation to the real hand. This in turn led to a de-popular-ization of the photograph since I was cutting off as much of the context as possible. A kind of leveling took place which finally created a pictural language that was both highly personal as well as incomprehensible.
From now one, one cut out of a hand after another was put down on paper. Day after day over a number of years, I worked in a space-saving manner based on image size in a trance-like, meditative state of patient labour.
The increasing lack of space due to my ever-growing collection forced me to constantly create more space.

Last month I gave my take on United Online UNTD. This was a company I actually held a small investment in from 2008 until late last year after the FTD spinoff. I felt the FTD flowers business was protecting the dividend and the long time CEO was leaving the company at the same time.
When I wrote my article last month, UNTD still was paying a quarterly dividend. However they have recently suspended this, and I wouldn't expect it to return anytime in the near future. United Online is a mish-mash of declining web properties and dial-up internet. Naturally dial-up internet is being phased out through high-speed offerings and mobile phones - and UNTD does have a small piece of that action through essentially an affiliate agreement to lease spectrum under the NetZero brand.
UNTD's web properties are again, a mish-mash of sites that are mid-to-lower tier when compared to peers in the same category. Any growth is likely coming from somewhat spammy techniques to bill customers when they really didn't want to be billed.
Keep in mind as well. This company said they were cancelling the dividend, but gave no strategy on what they will do going forward.
I would avoid this stock at all costs, unless it's a short position.

My scope on my deer rifle is still set up for my younger eyes.
I now wear glasses for reading, up close, etc.
Is there focus adjustment for individual eyes? I don't wear glasses out hunting.
The scope is a Leupold VX II from the early 90's. Thanks
I've done some homework on this and the adjustment is quite simple. There is much info online and on Youtube. I recommend Youtube -Understanding parallax with Leupold. Plenty of good info on how a scope works here. Understanding the difference between shooting targets and moving game. Just an old carpenter wanting to get it right the 1st time!

So the difference is that I need to control the max text length between the "|". If it's shorter then given line lenght then " " need to be putted. In this example the second row is limited to max 24 chars and the third row has to be at least 30 chars. Different rows will need different max/min limits..
How can I do this in bash?

A rare, US-born Sumatran rhino arrived Monday at his new home in Indonesia, an official said, where it is hoped he will find a mate and give his critically endangered species a shot at survival.
Harapan, an eight-year-old male whose name means "Hope", arrived at a specialist rhino sanctuary on Sumatra island at dawn after a long journey from a zoo in Cincinnati.
Tech Targeting Wildlife Poachers: Photos
A senior biodiversity conservation official in Indonesia's forestry ministry told AFP the rhino was "adapting well" after travelling 36 hours by air, sea and land to reach to the national park.
"He is healthy and has a great appetite," Bambang Dahono Adji told AFP.
"We noticed this morning he was lapping up all the leaves. Being Sumatran, perhaps he preferred local fare, like rice instead of cheese," he joked.
Record Number Of Rhinos Poached In S. Africa In 2014
Sumatran rhinos are among the rarest in the world, with just 100 believed to still exist.
Harapan was the last remaining rhino of his kind in the US, but without a mate there it was decided he should return to Sumatra to have a chance at producing offspring.
His older brother, Andalas, also moved from a zoo in Los Angeles to the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Way Kambas National Park in 2007.
Since then, he's fathered a calf at the park, with a second offspring expected in May.
New Calves Raise Hopes For World's Rarest Rhino
Harapan will be quarantined for just over two weeks before entering the sanctuary, Adji said, where it's hoped he will follow in his older brother's footsteps and mate with one of three female rhinos there.
"Like his brother, we hope he will be able to breed and boost the Sumatran rhino population here," Adji said.
Rhino experts welcomed news of Harapan's return to his ancestral homeland, especially given the desperation in recent years as the species' future looked bleaker than ever.
Black Rhino Killed In Controversial Hunt
With few alternative options, the Cincinnati Zoo took the controversial step in 2013 of trying to mate Harapan with his older sister Suci. The female died the following year in yet another blow for conservationists trying to save the species.
"It's good news that he's (Harapan) here in Indonesia to mate with unrelated females," Widodo Ramono, head of the Rhino Conservation Foundation of Indonesia, told AFP.
"Inbreeding would cause genetic degeneration, which brings problems such as illnesses and defects."
Another forestry ministry official Andhika Respati said Harapan's transition out of captivity would come with challenges, though a vet and two keepers from Cincinatti accompanied the rhino to offer advice to his new carers.
Elephant Skin Graft Gives Mutilated Rhino Second Chance
"One challenge is how to get him used to life and finding food in the forest, as he had been living in the zoo from birth," Respati told AFP.
"However we think he will adjust just fine."
Sumatran rhinos are the only Asian rhinoceroses with two horns. They are covered in woolly hair that ranges from reddish brown to black in colour.
While Javan rhinos are considered the world's rarest rhinos, Sumatran rhinos are under increasing threat by poachers and continue to lose precious forest habitat.

There's no silver bullet solution to protecting endangered species. We can't stand guard over every single one of them, as this man is doing to protect black rhinos in Zimbabwe. But technology can be helpful in staying ahead of wildlife poachers who have been winning the war for too long, according to Crawford Allan, a senior director based at the World Wildlife Fund for a large international wildlife trade monitoring program called TRAFFIC. Here's a look at their arsenal.
One of the first technologies rolled out consistently to monitor wildlife, camera traps were catching poachers in the act. They've since evolved into tinier, almost impossible to detect digital devices. Some have live video feeds, automatic triggers, remote access, heat sensing, vibration detection and are smart enough to triangulate shotgun sounds so park rangers know exactly where to go.
Wildlife conservationists need to know where the animals are in order to protect them. Radio-frequency identification tags are an important tool, WWF's Crawford Allan said. RFID chips implanted in rhinoceros horns connect to ground or mobile sensors so when one falls off the grid, a team can work on tracking it down and check the animal's welfare. The tags work for other species, as well. Here, two Canada Lynx kittens are tagged by rangers from the US Fish and WIldlife Services.
Getting a visual on poachers before they strike is tall order. Masts with static night vision cameras are used to keep an eye out, but the image angle and range are limited, according to Allan. Light aircraft are expensive, require a pilot, need runways and could be shot down. For these reasons, unmanned aerial vehicles are emerging as a potential solution. Cost is still an issue but poachers can't hide easily from UAVs with thermal detection patrolling the skies.
Mesh networks are digital communications systems originally developed for the military, Allan explained. With help from a $5 million Google grant, WWF is installing a mesh network to relay sensor and device data. Rangers on the ground can also use the network to communicate without poachers being able to listen in.
Satellite technology has transformed basic tracking collars. Accelerometers inside can indicate whether the animal is well, sick or has died given its motion and the satellite connection means the animals are easier to locate. The collars can be used on a wide range of animals, from birds on up to elephants. Allan said the price has been prohibitive for developing countries, so he hopes it will come down.
The Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool, known as SMART, is a free open-source software created by a community of conservation organizations. Available in local languages, the software is designed to make wildlife conservation activities and wildlife law enforcement patrols more effective. Tracking animals, patrols and vehicles means an influx of data, and SMART can crunch it all to show stakeholders the big picture.
In India, the illegal metal snares used to catch tigers were being cleverly camouflaged. To fight back, the TRAFFIC wildlife trade monitoring network trained forest guards to use robust, easy-to-assemble Deep Search Metal Detectors. "Word kind of got around that there was some sort of magic technology out there that was going to find every poacher in the forest instantly," Allan said.
In South Africa, the Rhino DNA Index System or RhODIS project has unique DNA profiles for individual rhinos. If one is killed for its horn, the database aids in prosecuting poachers. Wildlife forensics has such a high degree of resolution now that DNA testing can actually show which country in Africa confiscated ivory came from, Allan said. Here, a tiger cub is donating a blood sample for DNA sequencing.

Xiaolan (Chinese: 小榄镇) is a small town situated at the northwest periphery of the city of Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, China.
The population of Xiaolan Town is of an estimation of 150,000 permanent residents and 100,000 temporary residents. The total area of the town is 71 square kilometres (27 sq mi).
Image gallery[edit]
Primary industries[edit]
Agriculture is the main type of primary industry found in Xiaolan Town. The bloom and specified horticulture of Chrysanthemum makes the town a famous name "the City of chrysanthemum". A grand fair on the blossom of the chrysanthemum was held on November 23, 2003 and over 40,000 pots of chrysanthemum in different species were exhibited. The grand fair was held in every 60 years as a local tradition.
Manufacturing industries[edit]
Xiaolan Town is dubbed "Lock City of the South" as well as "Electronic Acoustic Industrial Base" in China. The two industries are the pillar industries of Xiaolan.
Xiaolan controls 23% of the national market share. Indeed, there are production lines of such famous brands as Vantage gas stoves, Guli locks and St. Allen nail clippers in Xiaolan. Over 30% of manufacturing enterprises in Xiaolan are engaged in locks and hardware production. Such production accounted for nearly 50% of the total industrial outputs of Xiaolan and employed more than 30,000 people in 2002. The success of Xiaolan in this sector brought it an unprecedented honour of being certified as the critical hardware industrial base by China National Hardware Association in 2002.
Meanwhile, a dynamic growth in the sector of electronic acoustics, which has taken place in recent years, has made Xiaolan the first "Electronic Acoustics Industrial Base" in China. Between 2000 and 2002, over a hundred enterprises started business in Xiaolan. Both local and foreign enterprises which specialize in production of domestic stereos, DVDs, laser heads, high-tech digital audio equipment, loudspeakers, circuit boards and aluminium panels are clustered in this small town. Production bases of such foreign brands as ADS and Boston operate in Xiaolan while Philips, Toshiba, JBL, Onkyo and Jamo also run their OEM production there. In 2002, the industrial outputs of this sector reached RMB 4.6 billion, accounting for almost one third of the town's industrial output.
In order to upgrade their products and production techniques, both sectors are restlessly engaged in R&D. For example, a technology development centre specializing in the production of locks and hardware was set up in February 2003. Post-doctoral work stations and partnerships with universities also contribute to technological upgrades of Xiaolan's hardware industry. On the other hand, an enterprise-based technology development centre with investment from a US-based acoustics stereo enterprise, AVlight was also established in Xiaolan Industrial Zone in 2002, aiming to upgrade the technology in the electronic acoustics industry of the town. To expand its sales of hardware products and electronic acoustic appliance at home and abroad, Xiaolan also needs to put greater effort into product promotion and marketing with possible participation of Hong Kong companies.
The residents in Xiaolan Town are being cultivated with the horticulture of chrysanthemum. Their lifestyle is characterised by a high participation with chrysanthemum. For example, they provide banquets on the theme of chrysanthemum. They appreciate the noble character and integrity of chrysanthemum, which is reflected in their poems and drawings.
The residents are enthusiastic about sports. The Xiaolan Integrated Sports Centre was established in 1994. Some national and international ping-pong tournaments were held since then.

44 West 77th Street in Manhattan.
Built in 1911, 44 West 77th Street is a 14-story Neo-Gothic tower clad, in terra cotta and red brick. Originally, the building was entirely clad in exuberantly detailed high relief glazed terra cotta; however, during the 1950s, most of the ornament and approximately 60% of the flat ashlar terra cotta was replaced with brick. A significant amount of terra cotta remains and the building is still a stand-out on the block in this Historic Landmarked District. In 1980, the building underwent more modifications which included adding a stucco-clad roof level penthouse.
Thornton Tomasetti was initially contacted because of roof leak problems; however after in investigation, the team discovered more issues which stemmed from both the 1950 and 1980 renovations. The firm not only provided a thorough investigation, but developed construction documents for the entire building envelope. Services included replacement of slate roofing on terra cotta book tile substrate, flat bituminous roofing, infill of skylights and replacing others, reconstruction of 800 feet of parapets, replacement of selected terra cotta with new terra cotta and repairs of others. The penthouse underwent 30% reconstruction along with miscellaneous brick and stone repairs and reinforcing of corroded structural steel. Approximately 500 of the original wood double hung windows were restorated, many of which included stained glass panels. There was an in-kind replacement with insulated glass of a 17-foot by 20-foot monumental steel framed window, originally installed in 1950. Thornton Tomasetti also provided design for re-support of a 1,000-gallon oil tank currently resting on soil.

Father and son anglers Christian and Adrian Manolea took out 1st and 2nd place in the Fathers Day Cressbrook Electric. Although it was fathers day it was Adrian who came in first, relegating his father Christian to 2nd place. 15 anglers fronted for this Bass Electric comp but only 5 anglers weighed in bass. The bass that were weighed in however were very impressive putting Cressbrook on the map as an aspiring big bass dam.
Adrian weighed in an impressive 2.98kg bag and also secured the big bass at 1.59kg. 2nd place Christian weighed in 2/2 at 2.48kg.
'Barrabass Rods' team member Mike Henare and yak paddler Denis Shaw tied for 3rd place with 2/2 bass weighing in at 2.0 kg even each.
4th place went to Peter Bryant with 1/2 at 0.78kg.
Adrian and Christian fished the flats in the Bull Creek arm, sitting in 30 feet of water casting Keitech 3inch easy shiner plastics rigged on 3/8oz Impact Tackle jig heads. Their outfits of choice were Daiwa Steez rod and reels loaded with 10lb braid and 8lb leader for Adrian and 6lb leader for Christian.The father and son duo would cast out and slow retrieve their lures with the bites coming about half way back to the boat. Adrian caught 4 bass all up with one upgrade and Christian caught 3 bass. Adrian and Christian would like to thank sponsors Keitech and Impact tackle.
3rd place Mike Henare fished the flats out in front of the boat ramp to get his 2kg bag. Using his Barrabass XP841 and XP902 rods Mike caught one of his fish with an ice jig and the other casting out a blade, counting down 10 seconds and slow retrieve. Mikes biggest bass went 1.3kg.
Denis Shaw fished a Rio Lake deep 7 line. His second option was to fish the point left of the boat ramp but he could not find anything there so he fished further up the left arm. Returning to that point with 1hr to go he noticed Mike Henare fishing a bit wider so he moved 100 mts out & found them. The fish were suspended at 20ft in a depth of 35ft. He extended his leader to 18ft with 8lb and used a black marabou & mirror flash fly. Counting down 15 seconds I used a short strip retrieve with a regular pause.
It was also good to see Dave Bullard fit and well and back doing the comps although I did point out to him that he appears to have mellowed a bit in his absence.
Once again Tania and I would like to thank all anglers for their patience and professionalism and as stated it is good to see some quality fish coming out of Cressbrook. There is also some weed starting to appear so as long as the dam remains reasonably stable Cressbrook is going to produce some awesome bass in the future.
I would also like to advise that this will be the last Bass Electric that Tania and I will be organising. I am looking at getting an electric boat myself and Tania and I are hoping to do some of the electrics next year. (Yes I will be keeping the Skeeter as well for the Bass Pros)

More Info... by email
The effects of Christmas on health can vary depending on an individual's perception of and reaction to the season, but in general, the holiday season can actually be detrimental to health. This can occur for a number of different reasons; first, people are more likely to eat and drink to excess during the holidays, which can lead to weight gain and difficulty sleeping. In addition, some people find that they get more depressed around the holiday season, or may feel increased loneliness or anxiety, which is another way that Christmas can have a negative impact on health.
Over indulging with food and alcohol are one of the most common negative effects of Christmas on health. People are more likely to eat unhealthy foods around the holidays, such as chips and dip, or Christmas cookies, just to name a few. These types of foods can cause weight gain and lead to increases in cholesterol, which could even contribute to heart disease; combined with overexertion from shoveling snow at this time of year, this could lead to a heart attack. Drinking to excess also leads to detrimental effects of Christmas on health, can contribute to feelings of fatigue throughout the day, and may also make car accidents more likely.
Some people also find that stress, anxiety, or feelings of depression increase around the holidays. This can occur for a number of reasons; individuals might feel pressured to spend money they don't have on gifts, they might feel lonely if they do not have someone to share the holidays with, or they might feel stressed about spending time with family. These are all examples of the potential negative impact of Christmas on health; on top of the overall negative effects of depression and anxiety, these conditions may also exacerbate the problems of drinking and overeating already discussed. Some people find that attending therapy can help them to deal with their feelings that arise during this time of year.
Of course, the effect of Christmas on health does not need to be a negative one. These negative effects can be mitigated by watching what one chooses to eat and drink, and consciously trying to make healthy choices throughout the season. Keeping up with exercise may also help reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, making a budget and trying to stick to it may be able to help with money related stresses; some people find that doing a Secret Santa gift exchange within the family is a good option, for example. This is because it allows people to buy a gift for just one person rather than for everyone in the family.

To me, the most important thing to remember about Christmas is that it is only one day. That applies to a lot of different things. It's only one day, so it's OK to indulge yourself a little bit. It's only one day, so it's OK if everything doesn't go completely to plan. It's only one day, so if you don't get the perfect present from your loved one, that's not a big deal because you know they show their love all the other days of the year.
The only aspect I wouldn't apply this to is Christmas holiday safety, especially if you've got family coming over or you're traveling somewhere new. Keep the ages of the kids that will be in your home in mind, because you might need to child-proof some areas. Make sure people know about that tricky stair that your family all takes for granted. But mostly, be kind to each other. It's only one day.

@Mor - It's easy to say that, but not so easy to do it, particularly if you are hosting other people. Last Christmas we had a lot of family over and we just kept forgetting things that we needed from the store, like extra ingredients or napkins or whatever.
And, of course, we almost always forget the batteries that the kids need for their new toys.
My best Christmas health tip would be to have someone else host the holiday! It must be much more relaxing to just be able to show up and have them do most of the work.
Post 1
I think Christmas can actually be good for the health as long as you don't take it too seriously and try to plan ahead as much as possible. A lot of stress comes from everyone trying to do the same things at once, so that supermarkets and malls and other stores are completely crowded and there is a lot of road rage because of traffic jams.
If you know that kind of thing really gets to you, then try to make sure that you've got everything you need before the week of Christmas, so that you don't have to go out for it.
Often the stores will be open extra late as well, so another option is to go shopping as late as possible, so that you can avoid the crowds. I think this helps as a Christmas safety tip as well, since I'm sure more accidents happen around Christmas because of all the crowds.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

"Hidden Treasure"
We were very pleased with our experience at Blue Harbor Tropical Arboretum. We have taken other tours similar to this one but were very pleased at the personal attention we received. The two most outstanding finds were the miracle berries and the whistling duck. If you are looking for a relaxing time at Roatan this is the place.
"Rare gem of the Caribbean"
If you love tropical flora and fauna, you will love this tour. We booked round trip transportation from Mahogany Bay and tours of the arboretum online. Ana promptly picked us up at the predetermined time and drove us to the site, where Orville took over the duties as tour guide. He did a fantastic job. While escorting us around the property, he was picking a variety of tropical fruits which he later served us as a snack. The varieties of plants and trees was astounding. A true nature lovers rare find. I would highly recommend this adventure.
My wife and I visited in Jan 2015. The tour of the property was definitely interesting. We learned about the history of the gardens, the owners, the plants and trees, etc. The best part was the freshly cut fruits and jam at the end of the tour! Highly recommended!
Very nice spot. We did the self guided tour. Most plants and trees are clearly marked. If you are staying on the island, be sure to buy their fresh lettuce and herbs…..yum!
"A beautiful spot"
We arrived around 10, and were thrilled to hear that we could catch up to the guided tour that had just headed out. Faviola proved to be a delightful and knowledgeable guide. The flowers, the fruit trees, the water and birds ..it was wonderful. Getting there early is best at this time of year since the sun gets so hot by noon. Bring your camera …alongside each tree/plant is a sign with the name in both Spanish and English so you can note what you just shot, in case you forget. You will learn lots about fruits and nuts to ponder long after you leave. Samples of the fruits at the end…purchasing herbs from the hydroponic greenhouse is possible at times.
"Great place to go"
This tour is fun, informative and you even get to sample lots of island fruits and some amazing products they sell. Our rental car broke down there and they made us an almond butter sandwich with payaya jam and put a bit of rum in our smoothies. Great fun!
"A well manicure piece of paradise…in paradise"
The Arboretum was a great place to wander through all different cultivars and species of fruit trees and other plantings. We did a self-tour, but guided tours are also offered. The kids also fed the ducks and watched the agouti and iguanas. There are also hydroponic facilities on the premises that supply lettuce and greens to the islands restaurants and supermarkets, many of which we tasted while out eating around the island.
"Beautiful, Relaxing Afternoon"
We cruised on the Carnival Sunshine the end of April. We had pre-planed our excursion here because of all the great reviews. We were not disappointed. Anna picked us up outside the port and brought us to her home for $15 each giving us a commentary along the way. Once we arrived paid another $15 we were taken on an incredible walking tour of all the exotic plants by a very knowledgeable young woman. We were also warmly greeted by the pet ducks. We received free samples of many of the exotic fruits produced there. Driving back to the ship, because time allowed, Anna took us on a tour of most of the island. We would highly recommend.
"Ecool Thing"
If you want to be part of nature this is a great place combined away from the crazy life, to know more about agriculture and different types of fruit trees and one great option is that you could get your cashew seeds from the tree to your mouth and this is a great flavor as they cooked and packed at the property.
"Beautiful and Peaceful"
My friend and I took our 2 1/2 year old kids there. We got an amazing tour of the grounds which have citrus, avocado, local, and exotic fruit trees. Inside the Arboretum there are beautiful plants and ponds and even a huge water fall. It was a really nice day over all. Next door at the Hydroponic farm the workers were roasting and shelling Cashews. It was cool to get to see them do it by hand and to learn a little about the process. Love it. If you are in Roatan and want a nice, gentle relaxing thing to do: go to Blue Harbor Plantation. It's lovely. Notes: The bathrooms are sparkling clean and really nice. The paths are laid with gravel, so you COULD get a wheelchair through, but it would be difficult… but totally do able because there are no stairs. No food for sale, but cold drinks (soda, juice, beer) are for sale.
"Beautiful Tropical Gardens"
We went out to see the gardens one afternoon and were blown away by the beauty. We live on Roatan and will be lucky enough to go and visit every couple of months and take more people to see as it is a work in progress always growing and changing for the better. This is a really great way to see the beauty of tropical plants from Roatan. Most of the plants are labeled so it is fun to read and learn each name. There is a large pond which makes the place seem so tranquil.
"Life Is Just A Tire Swing"
Heaven on earth, Blue Harbor is captivating! Simple as it sounds the first thing I noticed when we arrived was "the tire swing", the swing brought back so many memories from childhood. I was hooked. Would definitely recommend a visit here! Time well spent in a beautiful peaceful setting with much good work in progress. I loved it!!! Would I visit again….Absolutely!
Very cool to see the process of the Hydroponic Lettuce grown here. SO fresh clean and delicious!
"Tourist And Locals Alike… Go See This Beautiful Addition To Roatan"
We had the opportunity to see this new attraction on Roatan. It is located down the Mudhole Road at the same location as the Blue Harbour Plantation Hydroponic. What an experience! The grounds are beautiful and the conservatory building was, "WOW'! When the door opens it really is a surprise to see the well tended well marked plants, the walkway, the amazing waterfall, and the unique, orchid wall!!!!! There are so many species of plant life. The orchard is full of fruits that we had never even heard of before. The Arboretum is a work in progress with more to come in the future. In the meantime tourists and locals alike should get out and see this wonderful asset to the Island…sure glad we did!!!
My daughter and I started with the hydroponics tour and like most people I've bought hydroponic lettuce, basil and cilantro. We all have a general idea how it's done but to actually see it and learn about it was so amazing. I had never really thought much about lettuce before but to be surrounded by row after row of the most beautiful perfect greens I had ever seen had me wishing for a bowl and some vinaigrette. After the hydroponics tour we moved on to tour the rest of the property. Even as I think of it now I'm hard pressed to try to explain all of the amazing plants that we saw. It was like plants from a different planet…the colors, shapes and smells were not like anything I had ever seen. Flowers that looked like lobster claws and leaves that looked like they had been splattered with paint were some of my favorites. (I swear I saw the plant from the Adam's Family).
We especially loved the waterfall, the misty pond and the wall of orchids. If they had a hammock and someone to bring us frosty drinks we would have stayed all week.
Out of all of the things we did this week on island this was our favorite. The people there were not only informative but welcoming and friendly. (it also had the nicest bathroom we saw all week)
We had a very pleasant visit to the arboretum. The facility is very well layed out and has an extensive variety of plants. This is a must see for Roatan residents as well as visitors.

A while back, David Lynch announced Twin Peaks would be returning to TV. Lovers of fine television then celebrated with this joyous news, only to be crushed when Lynch withdrew from the project because of a dispute with Showtime over payment. It would seem that the television as a medium had given viewers a cruel tease, offering a shameless M. Night Shyamalan rip-off instead. But fortunately both parties have resolved their differences and now Lynch is back on set to direct all of the upcoming episodes.
It's good to hear that Showtime sucked it up and gave Lynch what he wanted. In even better news, there will now be more than the nine episodes scheduled, meaning we'll see more of Agent Cooper and co. come next year. Between this and The X-Files reboot, there's a lot to look forward to in 2016.

Top Tip
The very act of massage and paying attention to your body on a regular basis will improve those problem areas. Circulation helps the skin to get rid of waste and massage is a perfect way to stimulate circulation. Skin brushing and massage help to flush out excess water, relax muscles and allow the skin to breathe. The best time for brushing is just before a morning bath or shower and then again before bedtime. Use a good organic Body Scrub treatment in the bath or shower over the problem areas.
Did you Know?
Cellulite can affect you whether you are 16 or 60 and as it can take more than four years to build up, it is obviously not going to disappear overnight! Cellulite is more a disturbance in the body's natural chemistry- a build-up of toxic waste in underlying tissues, than simple body fat. The areas where the tissue layer is thicker and spongier (and usually fatter) are the perfect places for cellulite to settle - especially if you're overweight although slim bodies also get it. Cellulite is especially likely to start to appear at the times when hormone levels fluctuate, such as at menopause and pregnancy, although it can of course appear at any time.. Although there is a genetic predisposition to cellulite, the main causes are bad eating habits, lack of exercise and stress - and you must tackle these first. Creams, lotions and oils won't "magic away" cellulite, but they do have tremendous benefits if used in conjunction with a healthy diet, regular exercise and if possible, and regular Aromatherapy body massage to aid circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage. Long term, the problem must be tackled from the inside out.

You don't have to take special steps to prepare your child for his or her first visit to the dentist at Brooklyn Dental smiles. The first visit is a chance for your child to acclimate to the dentist's office and dental examinations as well as an opportunity for the parents to get to know the dentist. At Brooklyn Dental Smiles, Dr. Eisenberg strives to ensure that your child's first dental visit is fun and fear-free.
Dr. Eisenberg recommends bringing your child for their first visit to the dentist at three years old, or when recommended by your pediatrician.
What Dr. Eisenberg will do during your child's first visit to the dentist
Most importantly, your child's first dental visit is a chance for the dentist to evaluate your child's dental health and hygiene from the earliest point. The dentist will give you personalized instructions on how to start brushing your child's teeth and other recommended hygiene habits such as limiting use of bottled beverages at night. He will examine your child's teeth to assess their current risk for cavities and recommend any necessary treatments, such as fluoride. The dentist will advise you on when you should begin to bring your child in for regular dental cleanings and check-ups based on your child's current dental health.
The best prevention is a timely intervention.
Starting out on the right foot with an early childhood dental visit sets up your child for good dental hygiene and cavity prevention from the earliest age. Your child's baby teeth are important for speech and jaw development. Their health will determine the placement and spacing of adult teeth when they grow in. The dental hygiene habits that your children learn today are those that will protect your child's adult teeth when they grow older.
Don't wait to start protecting your child's teeth

A contemporary debut novel about a woman's journey through mental illness.
As the book opens, Mimi Rizner finds herself in a psychiatric hospital. Unhappy to be locked up in the institution, she begins to reflect back on her life. Her earliest memories are of traveling around the country with her nomadic hippie parents. The narrative jumps around in time as Mimi goes back and forth between the present day, her teen years in San Francisco, and later on, her living with a man named Donny in Richmond. She believes her mental illness was caused by a ghost who entered her body while she was at the Woodstock music festival with her parents, and she hints at and later reveals details about the fact that it was an act of violence on her part that landed her in the psychiatric hospital. As she struggles to control the ghost in her, she has angry, sometimes violent outbursts at the hospital, a sign to the staff that she is not ready to be released. Mimi is a sympathetic first-person narrator even if readers will sometimes cringe at or be upset with her actions. Throughout her life, she has found release in painting, and this depiction of her as a tortured, troubled artist who sees things differently and feels things more deeply helps to make this sometimes-difficult character easier to appreciate. Despite a lack of action, the story moves briskly along, aided by jumps back and forth in time and curiosity about Mimi's reputation for violence and her teenage romance. The anticlimatic ending offers a simple, satisfying conclusion to her journey. In some of her narration, Mimi speaks in a plain, colloquial style that isn't always grammatically correct: "She always seems like she isn't fully there and talks sorta breathy and moaning, like everything is stupid." At other times, though, she sounds more introspective and educated, as when she tries to understand the circumstances that have led her to the psychiatric hospital: "The whole thing just feels like a slow descent, punctuated with moments of tumbling sharply and deeply into what I can only call hell." Perhaps the uneven tone is meant to reflect her own chaotic mental state.
A tragic but ultimately uplifting tale of one woman battling personal demons.
