For most divers, the Galapagos is definitely on their bucket list! The clear waters are bursting with life that is both colourful and unusual.
However, it's not just the bio-diversity that's incredible, but the friendliness of the animals! Seals often play with divers, and turtles, iguanas, and penguins show absolutely no fear when approached.
Because you'll only be in the Galapagos Islands for a short period of time, you won't be able to dive every single site. This means you'll need to choose your favourite two or three sites and see what itineraries match (more on the below).
If you are visiting the Galapagos to dive, we strongly suggest taking a cruise-based trip. This will allow you to reach the best dive sites that are unavailable on land-based and day tours.
Below we provide more information on the most commonly asked questions before revealing our favourite Galapagos diving sites. For more information on the best things to do whilst in the Galapagos, please click here.
Expedition Cruise do not sell tours, we simply provide impartial advice. If you would like an exact quote with our recommended specialist click Get a Quote.
Because the Galapagos Islands lie on the Equator line, there is no bad time of year to visit or dive here. Saying this, there are still two distinct seasons; the warm (or rainy) season and cold (or dry) season.
The warm season runs from December to May and offer warmer water and better visibility (in general). This is the best season to see manta rays and sharks, particularly large schools of hammerheads! The water temperature stays around 20-25°C.
The cold season runs From June through to November. The water is slightly colder during this period (around 17-20°C) and the visibility decreases because of the influx of nutrients in the water. Saying this, visibility is still around 15-20 meters normally. This is the best time of year to swim with penguins, mola mola, and other larger marine creatures such as whale sharks and humpbacks that are attracted by the nutrients.
Please be aware that because of the major currents that swirl around the Galapagos, temperature in water can change dramatically over a short distance. It is not uncommon to change wetsuits within 5 meters of the last dive site.
Dive-focused cruises in the Galapagos tend to be a little more expensive than standard cruises. This is for several reasons. Firstly, the best dive sites are located far north of Isabela Island, making them more difficult to reach. Secondly, the ship needs to be decked out for dive equipment and zodiacs. The cheapest week-long itineraries you'll find start around $4,000 for a basic boat and go upwards of $8,000 for a more luxurious boat.
In terms of dive equipment, tanks, weights and weight belt will be included on most itineraries. Items such as BCD, nitrox, regulators, gauges, wetsuit, hood, fins, mask will often not be included within the price and must be rented. If you have space in your luggage then you can bring your own. If you plan on snorkeling, all equipment will be provided.
Due to the strong currents, limited visibility, and cold water temperatures, diving in the Galapagos is considered advanced. You'll be making 4-5 dives a day and often entering the water from a small inflatable boat.
Because of this, it is recommended that you have at least 50-100 open water dives, experience removing gear in water, and the ability to exit the water in choppy sea conditions. It is strongly advised that all divers have a Nitrox certification. If you do not have one, you will not be able to dive around Wolf or Darwin island due to non-decompression limits, depth and length of dives. This would essentially make the trip pointless.
There are only a handful of boats that offer dive-focused itineraries in the Galapagos. These boats tend to take very similar itineraries. The difference in price comes from the level of boat you choose to sail on.
Galapagos diving itineraries generally visit San Cristobal, North Seymour, Darwin Island, Wolf Island, Santiago, and Santa Cruz.
Boats that offer diving-focused itineraries include the Humbolt Explorer, Galapagos Sky, Agressor II, Astrea Diving, Galapagos Master, Nortada, and the Danubio azul.

Because there is no guarantee on water visibility, weather, and wildlife you may see at each site, this list is in no particular order.
However, if you are wondering which dive spot is 'best' in 'general', the answer is Darwin's Arch off Darwin Island, and Shark Point off Wolf Island. Both locations are included in every dive-focused cruise for at least 3 days.
Both Daphne Major and Minor are great dive spots for beginners. Because of the gentle currents, you can essential do a drift dive which is ideal for fledgling divers.
Because of park restrictions, these dive spots are generally only accessed by dive cruises. Surprisingly, one of the highlights of this location is seeing remnants of US World War 2 machinery. including several bombs! The geology of the site is also pretty fun to explore with Galapagos black coral, lava remains, caves, platforms, rock walls and much more.
In terms of wildlife, expect to see schools of tuna, reef sharks, sea turtles and plenty of reef fish.
Named due to its close resemblance to a shoe, Kicker Rock is one of the premiere dive and snorkel sites in the Galapagos and lies just off the Coast of San Cristobal Island. Like Daphne, Kicker Rock is ideal for beginners. You can actually visit Kicker Rock as part of a day trip during which you'll also visit the sea lion colony at Lobos Island.
Diving down between the steep cliff rocks, you'll see large rays, plenty of fish species and sea iguanas. For divers that head deeper down you may spot Galapagos sharks and hammerhead sharks. Always be wary of the current between the rocks which can change very rapidly!
Located on the very northern edge of the archipelago, Darwin's Arch is one of the great dive spots of the Galapagos, if not the world for seeing large marine species!
Because of its remote location, Darwin's Arch is only accessible on dive-focused cruises and cannot be reached on day trips. Without having to dive below 40 feet, you'll likely see rays, sea turtles, dolphins, and plenty of fish. During the cold season you may even see a whale shark!
The real highlight of Darwin's Arch is the sharks that get drawn in by the current. during certain periods of the warmer season, you'll see school of hammerhead sharks, reef sharks, Galapagos sharks, and silky sharks.
Located off the northeast side of Santa Cruz Island, Gordon Rocks is probably the best dive site in the central Galapagos area. The entire site is an eroded crater that looks like a submerged cone with a nice sandy bottom.
The main attraction is the schools of hammerhead sharks that regularly get drawn in by the strong currents. However, you can also sea a number of ray species, turtles, barracuda, and moray eels.
Be warmed though, Gordon Rocks is known locally as the 'washing machine' due to the strong currents that swirl around the site. Gordon Rocks is therefore only for advanced divers who are confident is strong currents. When we say strong, we mean strong. Sometimes you may have to crawl along the ground holding onto rocks!
Located off the Coast of Bartholomew Island, Bartholomew Point is a fabulous diving spot for marine wildlife and underwater geology! The lava and rock formations beneath water are breathtaking and perfect for divers who love a good explore!
The site is also known for large bait balls which appear at you like tornadoes in the water. These attract plenty of reef harks, sea lions, and penguins. Seeing a bait ball up close, or even being in one, is a tremendous experience and not easily forgotten.
Above water, Bartholomew Point is one one of the most picturesque spots in the Galapagos and well worth a short trek around.
Located off the northeast coast of Santiago Island, Cousins Rock is one of the most consistently great dive spots year-round. Ideal for intermediate divers, the site extends downwards in large stepped rock platforms before reaching the sandy bottom at 130 feet. The rocks hide plenty of small fish and are often covered in black Galapagos coral.
There is plenty of marine life on show here including sea lions, sea turtles, reef sharks, and best of all - sea horses! Ocassioanally you'll also spot hammerheads, and giant manta rays. School of barracuda are common here also, as are Galapagos sharks.
Located just off San Cristobal Island, Lobos Island is probably the premiere site for sea lion encounters. There is a big colony that live here and beginner divers can interact with them underwater.
The sea lions actively follow you around and play with you. One of their favourite things to do is race at you full speed and then dive upwards just before they hit you! This can seem a little alarming initially, but it's nothing to worry about. Sea lions often chew on your fins and nudge you to chase them.
On top of the sea lions, you'll probably see marine iguanas, sea turtles, rays, starfish and plenty of coral fish.
Sister site to Darwin's Arch, Shark Point is located off Wolf Island. Like Darwin Island, this site can only be reached via liveaboard cruises.
The site is world famous for being one of the premiere dive locations for seeing whale sharks. From May to November these gentle giants are drawn in by the nutrient-rich waters and strong currents. Although sitings are by no means guaranteed, Shark Point gives you the best chance of seeing these beauties!
The site is also popular with hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, manta rays, sea turtles and plenty of fish species. Due to the strong currents and limited visibility, the site is recommended for experienced divers only.
North Seymour is a small island off the coast of Santa Cruz that is famed for its bird watching. Off the northern side of the island there is also some incredible diving to be had.
North Seymour Channel is known for its varied fish species such as bluestriped snapper, Salemas, yellowtail grunts, marble rays, eagle rays and much more. You'll also see plenty of reef sharks, sea turtles, and Galapagos garden eels. The eels are tiny and can be seen in the thousands across the sea floor.
If you're lucky, you'll also see blue-footed boobies diving the fish from above - makes for a great shot!
For people who love geology and exploring rock formations, then Roca Redonda should definitely be on your list! Known for its its streams of natural gas bubbles and volcanic landscape, Roca Redonda is also a hotspot for Galapagos sharks. During your dive you'll probably have several in very close proximity.
The entry is fairly difficult due to the heavy surge and divers have to pull themselves along the rocks. Because of this, the site is recommended for experienced divers only.

A federal grand jury has approved the first criminal charges in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of the Trump presidential campaign and its ties to Russia, a monumental step in the probe that has loomed over so much of President Trump's first year in office.
CNN first reported the news late Friday night. Reuters and the Wall Street Journal have now also reported that charges have been filed.
The indictments are sealed, so the specific charges and, most importantly, the person or persons being charged are not yet known. Arrests could be made as soon as Monday, according to CNN.
Mueller has been leading the Russia probe since May; he was appointed shortly after Trump fired FBI director James Comey. The investigation includes exploring any possible collusion between Trump's 2016 campaign and the Russian government, the Trump family's financial ties to Russia, and any obstruction of justice by Trump in the investigation that was started by Comey.
Vox's Zack Beauchamp and Andrew Prokop explained the Mueller investigation in more detail here.
What isn't clear from Friday's news is the target or targets of the Mueller indictments. But two prominent Trump officials have long been at the center of the Russia investigation: Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Gen. Michael Flynn, who served briefly as Trump's national security adviser.
Manafort's house was raided in the course of the investigation, and people close to him have been issued subpoenas. Mueller's team reportedly told Manafort, who ran Trump's campaign during the summer of 2016, to expect an indictment.
As Vox previously explained, "Manafort's history of pro-Russia consulting work and experience with international skullduggery have long made him a prime suspect for potential collusion." He is said to have attended a meeting at Trump Tower in 2016 with Donald Trump Jr., and a Russian attorney. No firm evidence of collusion has yet surfaced, but the Mueller probe has also investigated Manafort's work before the presidential campaign, whether he properly disclosed his work for foreign entities, and whether he has ever been involved in illegal money laundering overseas.
The end game, according to previous reports, is federal investigators want to use the pressure of criminal charges to get convince Manafort to provide more details on any possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Mueller is also known to be investigating General Flynn, as Vox has documented. Previous reports have suggested that Flynn may have been involved in efforts to contact Russian hackers about accessing Hillary Clinton's emails. Flynn was also reported to have had extensive contact with Russian officials during the presidential campaign.
Flynn, whom Trump had appointed to be his national security adviser after aiding his 2016 campaign, stepped down in February once it became clear he had lied about his contacts with a Russian ambassador shortly after the election.
As of mid-Saturday morning, Trump — who suggested he could attempt to remove Mueller if the Russia investigation went in directions that he didn't like — had not yet tweeted or otherwise commented about the pending charges.
So here is what we know for sure:
- Charges have been filed and approved by the federal grand jury, the first of Mueller's investigation
- Arrests could be made in next few days
And what we don't:
- Who is being charged
- What the charges are
- Whether the charges are being used as leverage to further the investigation
- How Trump will react

Read this great blog about finding out you have MS
Your essay really hit home for me, as it expressed exactly how i felt waiting for the dr to tell me the news. As i was walking into the doctors, there was a long hall to get to his door and i thought to myself, "when i walk out this door my life will be changed forever" and it did. But like you said, it doesn't define me, thinking the worst is only a first response, since i had progressive kind i thought my life was over. After the initail shock of it all, was over, i developed into a calm state where i began the first day of the rest of my life. My MS stabilized and hasn't progressed in 10 years, . One day when i was cleaning out my closets, i found my journals from the early days when i first moved to ORegon, when i worked as a timber inventory forester in the Wallowa Mts in eastern OR. As i read them, i started to chuckle and thought, these would make a good book, so i wrote three fictionalized memoirs, i never would have found the time to write, if it wasn't because of MS. I worked 35 years in service to people with disabilities, who better to know, life can be just as good even if you use a walker or are in a wheelchair. My profession taught me how to access grants, durable medical equipment so i knew the ropes. So without MS i never would have published my three books. "The Eve Chronicles" by Diane DeVillers, check it out on amazon. Life changes, we adapt, and then finally we accept. Your story transported me back to the early days when i found out that yes MS can be a monster, but i am no longer afraid of my dragon, who waits for me, who someday will consume me, but i fight it, i do my best to adapt and move forward to what ever my path will be.

Intro Premium WordPress Theme Companies
PremiumCoding is a team of theme developers that provide their particular motif club full of more than two dozen WordPress themes in many different different categories. They give a combination of premium and free themes as well as a variety of unique ways to pay for superior themes.
We are going to take a peek at the organization's theme collection in this review in addition to examine their overall pricing scheme. Let us begin.
PremiumCoding Review
PremiumCoding was set in 2010 because of two-man functioning designing, building and uploading topics to ThemeForest on the Envato marketplace. They started their very own theme club in 2015 and haven't looked back since. Today, the company has over 25 WordPress themes, eight team members and over 28,500 clients.
PremiumCoding Themes
PremiumCoding includes over 25 WordPress topics in stock, as mentioned previously. These topics can be found in six niche classes and one additional class for free themes. Here are the market categories they offer:
Blog Themes
Business Themes
Multipurpose Themes
Ecommerce Themes
Personal Themes
Portfolio Themes
Website Themes
PremiumCoding targets heavily on site themes. All their themes have blogging capabilities, and they offer a dozen topics designed especially for professional and individual blogs. Let's take a look at some.
"Click here to sign up to PremiumCoding.com"
Camila is a premium blogging theme constructed for creatives, but it can be used as a magazine theme for content-heavy sites. It employs a minimalist design that actually places the focus on your content, particularly your images. It is a fantastic option for bloggers who want to flaunt their own graphics, such as travel, beauty, lifestyle and fashion bloggers.
Freyja is a superior blogging theme intended for writers or publication lovers, particularly those who favor the fantasy genre. It uses a Nordic style both in the color scheme it uses as well as the typography featured during its design. It comes with four homepage and site page layouts and uses Google Fonts should you would like to switch from the fonts it uses. Premium WordPress Theme Companies
Hayes is a premium blogging theme intended for photographers and travel bloggers. It includes multiple homepage variants and even allows you to create your own designs through the use of cubes. It also uses a simple, minimalist design.
Free WordPress Themes
PremiumCoding offers a number of complimentary WordPress topics, which behave as"lite" versions to get a few of its premium topics. These are stripped-down versions of their premium motifs, but they still offer a significant lot of features. They're more or less designed to provide you with a flavor of the respective premium topics.
This is Everly Lite, the free version of the premium blogging theme Everly. It will still permit you to construct a complete website capable of showcasing your newest posts if you are a blogger and graphics if you're a photographer. It only excludes the capability to utilize the Revolution Slider and change colors.
"Click here to sign up to PremiumCoding.com"
PremiumCoding focuses on blogging themes, but it does offer additional motif categories too. Included in these are, as stated earlier, portfolio themes, e-commerce topics, and business themes. It supplies a fantastic choice of portfolio themes and a couple of small business themes so far as amounts go, but its e-commerce theme set is a tiny light.
That is LandScape. It's technically a portfolio motif for photographers, but it has sufficient homepage demos and flexibility to be used as a different blogging theme. It uses a minimalist design that truly makes your picture stand out. Some homepage layouts even use a large header image, as you can see in the screenshot above.
Presenter is a business theme for entrepreneurs. It utilizes a homepage which features a massive header finish with a call to action and an email opt-in form. You can even use calls to action during the webpage in addition to display client testimonials, your latest blog articles and a slider featuring logos of those brands you work with/publications you've been featured in, etc..
Marketeer is a distinctive kind of e-commerce theme. It's four-page layouts, and it allows you to use the power of articles promotion by featuring separate layouts for blogs. It uses a clean layout overall, giving you great way to advertise your merchandise.
Plans & Pricing
PremiumCoding is a theme club, therefore there are several different ways you can cover and gain access to its own themes. Aside from using a free theme, you can purchase one theme, buy a one-year membership license or purchase a lifetime membership license.
No matter which license type you buy, the fundamental benefits are more or less the same. You'll have access to upgrades and support for as long as your membership remains active, and you may use the theme on an unlimited number of domains. The features change based on which license type you choose with.
Buying a single-theme license only provides you with access to this particular theme. If you combine the theme club, you'll have access to PremiumCoding's 27+ theme set in addition to any extra themes the programmer releases during your time as a participant (the developer releases a new theme every five to six months ). You will also have access to PSD files for themes that use them.
Costs for a year of membership generally range between $89 and $129 while a lifetime membership can be obtained for a flat fee of $269.
Final Ideas
PremiumCoding is a fine theme developer that provides a decent assortment of WordPress themes and plenty of themes to pick from overall. The topics are also user friendly, whether you are a programmer or a business owner/blogger who wants to design their own website. Premium WordPress Theme Companies
The only disadvantage you may encounter as a developer trying to find a new theme club to utilize as a resource for the business is the programmer's limited source of e-commerce themes. If the majority of your customers need blogs, portfolios and traditional small business sites, but this developer would make a excellent resource to your company.

Sand Tarp is a Multiplayer map for Halo 3. A remade version of Sandtrap, with the only difference being the absence of the Elephants in Sand Tarp. Also, the attacker's and defender's bases are switched, and the defenders will be at the Albatross so that the attackers don't have to pull the flag out from the "impenetrable" crypt. It was due to be released on September 16th, 2008, but was being delayed until the 23rd.
As a note, the Elephants are not removable through Forge, so obtaining this variant of Sandtrap requires playing the map and saving it, or taking it off a fileshare (or downloading it from below).

6 Ways to Safeguard Data Before an Emergency Strikes
Think about planning for a pure catastrophe emergency which may have an effect on your house. You'd probably retailer some water, flashlights, meals, blankets and different necessities. The key component of your planning can be proactivity. You'd do the entire work earlier than an emergency occurred, not through the precise disaster. If your provides had been used up after the emergency handed, then you definately rapidly would restock earlier than the subsequent flood, hearth, landslide, hurricane or lightning strike.
Protecting knowledge requires the same method: setting up as many safeguards as you'll be able to earlier than something dangerous occurs.
Natural or man-made disasters are a big danger to knowledge, particularly once they strike firms which are ill-prepared. When an organization is data-centric (most 21st Century companies are), then full knowledge loss typically destroys your entire enterprise.
So, whether or not it is a burst pipe that floods the server room or a fireplace that decimates an whole workplace constructing, firms have to defend their data. Thankfully, by taking some proactive steps and embracing the suitable know-how instruments, firms can reduce the dangers posed by emergencies to an amazing extent.
Following are six suggestions for managing knowledge proactively towards disasters.
1. Develop a Formal Plan
Many companies full catastrophe administration and restoration plans that element evacuation routes, communications procedures and different particulars. These are important, as the protection of individuals is of paramount significance. Another a part of such plans needs to be how knowledge is managed and guarded throughout emergencies.
Crafting a written plan forces you to think about any flaws in your knowledge administration and makes everybody accountable. Perhaps you use a server room in an workplace that is inclined to flooding, otherwise you're ignoring sturdy password procedures. A written plan brings such flaws to gentle.
The plan wants to account for the kind and severity of an emergency. For instance, if a hurricane is 2 days out, then what steps ought to the agency take to put together? Perhaps delicate knowledge needs to be wiped from the servers and moved offsite? Does the plan account for the most certainly kinds of disasters given the geographic location?
Assign particular duties to every member of the workforce as a part of the plan. Every employees member ought to perceive that knowledge is an asset, and that it have to be managed proactively earlier than an emergency strikes. Of course, it's best to create a knowledge plan as a part of a broader catastrophe response plan that first ensures private security. Never place individuals in a spot the place they struggle to save knowledge when as a substitute they need to be exiting the constructing or taking another motion. Simply reinforce the necessity for proactive planning.
2. Collect and Organize the Data
Think of your knowledge as a tangible asset, comparable to the precise workplace constructing, equipment, computer systems, and the entire different "things" within the workplace. With this mindset, you'll be able to spot the entire knowledge sources successfully, after which work to arrange them right into a centralized location.
Perhaps your distant gross sales workforce has some video and photograph recordsdata from a convention which are saved on a digital digicam. That graphic designer advisor you employed would possibly hold your new emblem recordsdata on a private laptop computer, as a substitute of your servers. You can defend solely what you will discover, so carry out a set and group section to hold your knowledge safe.
Perform an accounting of your recordsdata, and arrange them in a manner that is sensible, probably on cloud providers. Organization removes knowledge free ends that may be impacted or ignored throughout or after an emergency.
Remember that you do not have to hold the whole lot, until there is a regulatory or compliance cause to maintain the data. Cutting some unneeded knowledge can cut back your data footprint and go away you much less uncovered to issues. Collecting the information can also enhance your organization's means to carry out analytics, and maybe relate two beforehand unrelated knowledge units for brand spanking new observations.
3. Prepare to Recreate Your Network
If you continue to function an on-site community, then you will have to perceive its structure intimately. Create community maps with labels on all of the parts so you'll be able to recreate the community if wanted at an alternate location. Use a easy and clear naming conference after which share the community map with the group through electronic mail, and retailer the map within the cloud.
If you use in a flood zone and your community tools is within the basement or on the bottom ground, then work with the constructing supervisor to have a brief tools location to hold your knowledge secure. Part of the plan ought to embrace designated workforce members that can transfer the tools, particulars on who makes the ultimate move-or-stay choices, and a precedence checklist so employees will transfer essentially the most invaluable tools and knowledge first. Conducting a community map and stock additionally could be helpful for insurance coverage functions.
4. Test Your Plan for Weaknesses
You can not simulate an precise hurricane or lightning strike, however you'll be able to check your plan beneath simulated situations. Doing a check is a manner to see if employees members understand how to comply with the suitable procedures and in case your backups are simply accessible.
Did your workforce achieve entry to cloud backups rapidly through the check? Did everybody perceive their particular function? Testing ought to reply these kinds of questions. Any deviations from the plan warrant some retraining and assessment of the plan in case situations or greatest practices have modified.
Perhaps the testing exhibits flaws within the workforce's safety and password procedures, or exposes the necessity for expanded cloud storage to embrace the entire agency's knowledge. Talk to your whole workforce after the testing to see if components of the plan are complicated or contradictory. The plan would possibly want a rewrite with plainer language to keep away from any miscommunications. Recognize the technical aptitude of everybody studying and following the plan, and modify the language and procedures accordingly.
Testing a plan can also be a primary alternative to see if your online business adheres to laws comparable to hearth codes or varied knowledge administration guidelines. You would possibly uncover gaps in your procedures through the testing section which you'll repair earlier than your subsequent audit.
5. Secure Your Hardware
While it is a greatest observe to transfer most of your knowledge to the cloud, companies nonetheless make the most of gadgets for content material creation and knowledge storage. Protecting these gadgets can save your knowledge and cut back your capital prices. For flood safety, electronics needs to be elevated off the ground and all cords unplugged. If time permits, you'll be able to retailer gadgets in waterproof containers. Run diagnostics in your energy provides to verify for overheating that may spark fires.
To forestall fires, you'll be able to hold electronics free from mud, verify worn cords, and preserve monitored temperature and humidity ranges. If you use an on-premises server room, then you definately want a fireplace suppression and detection system with "clean agent" know-how that makes use of particular chemical compounds to cease fires with out using damaging water. Server room fires typically begin due to overheating, so guarantee your room's cooling system is functioning optimally.
Thunderstorms deliver the chance of energy surges that may wipe out exhausting drives and fry electronics. Use accredited surge protector gadgets which are rated correctly on your particular {hardware}. Unplugging gadgets is a low-tech manner to take away them from power-related dangers, particularly once they're additionally saved in waterproof containers.
6. Take Advantage of the Cloud
The fashionable enterprise wants immediate connectivity to knowledge. The cloud gives this connection and is ideally fitted to knowledge administration throughout emergencies. Choose a serious cloud supplier comparable to Google or AWS and again up all your knowledge with automated instruments so you do not expose any data to loss. Consider utilizing multiple cloud supplier for additional safety, particularly for essentially the most delicate or vital data.
Your knowledge administration plan additionally needs to be a cloud-based doc so it is easy to entry after an emergency by employees members who would possibly want to work remotely for days or even weeks.
Having entry to the cloud is simply helpful in an emergency in the event you're constantly shifting knowledge to cloud storage. Put in place automation to transfer recordsdata to the cloud on a schedule. Also think about shifting employees away from conventional offline software program platforms and using online-created codecs to take away the dangers posed by data-destroying incidents.
The cloud successfully removes your knowledge from localized occasions comparable to hurricanes or earthquakes. It additionally permits your employees to work remotely for prolonged durations after a catastrophe strikes, so your online business can stay viable and survive. The plan ought to element what employees are anticipated to do when it comes to reconnecting to the community and their workflows — assuming, in fact, that the catastrophe didn't impression their properties and households immediately.
Be Proactive
Accidents and emergencies occur. A fireplace can escape inside one other firm's workplaces as a result of somebody plugged in too many Christmas lights. Or the town might need uncared for the water infrastructure, inflicting a pipe to burst and flood your entire constructing.
These kinds of emergencies come with none advance warning, however they're nonetheless manageable with advance planning. The key for IT managers and amenities operators is to proactively plan for disasters. Expect the worst outcomes, construct in redundancies and safeguards, and then you definately and your knowledge will probably emerge unscathed.

Students Say
The role sustainability plays in Oregon's MBA program cannot be overstated. The College of Business's MBA in sustainable business was established in 2008, and its popularity has only grown since then. Many students come to Oregon specifically to earn their MBA at the school's relatively new Center for Sustainable Business Practices housed in the Lillis Business Complex, a LEED silver certified facility and one of the most environmentally friendly buildings of its kind in the country. "Business schools are a dime a dozen," says one sports business student, "I knew I wanted a school that offered a top-flight entrepreneurship focus, and the University of Oregon was tops on my list, but, beyond that, there is substantial value in being surrounded by students who are also staunchly interested in entrepreneurship."
In addition to Oregon's lauded programs in sports management, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, a number of dual-degree programs are also available, including a JD/MBA and MS/MBA with varying concentrations, as well as individual programs in finance, supply chain management, accounting, and media/entertainment. An Executive MBA program, which is located in Portland, is also offered. There are almost 200 students in the graduate business programs, with approximately 100 of them pursuing an MBA.
The age range of students is mid twenties to early thirties, and many in the program tend to arrive with at least a couple years of work experience, with backgrounds ranging from large corporations to small non-profit firms. Most students feel this helps provide students with a "well-rounded view of issues" that isn't disconnected from "real-world experiences." During students' second year of study, full-time MBA students also participate in a strategic planning project over the course of two terms. Through this experiential learning program, small student groups work as consultants to major Northwest businesses, including Adidas, Amazon, Hewlett Packard, and Intel.

Hi again,
I upgraded to a 16 USB 2.0 from an 8 USB 2.0. I purchased the 16 off eBay and am worried that it is defective although it is hard to say for sure.
I am using Ableton 9.1 and a Dell XPS-15 w/ Windows 8.1 64 bit (16mb DDr3 / SSD HD/ i7 2.2 Quad) with my Alesis Multimix USB 16 2.0.
- I downloaded the upgraded 2.0 drivers for Windows 8 (64). (ALESIS_USB2_2.9.64)
When I send an input to any Mono channel (1-8), the sound it is not sent through USB in a single mono channel. It is audible when sending it through the Main Mix and also in (what Ableton calls) channell 17/18 -- the mixdown.
- All Stereo channels (9-16) work as expected.
- Everything works properly when disconnected from the CPU.
- All of the channels are recognized by Ableton.
- I still have my USB 8 2.0 and it is working properly--recognizing and sending sound through all channels.
- I had issues before with using USB 3.0 ports with my 8 when I upgraded my Laptop--then hooked up a USB 2.0 Hub to retrofit the speed (which was your recommendation, thank you!). I have tried both with and with out the HUB and am experiencing the same results.
I hope you have another quick fix for me!
(I added a screenshot of the channels in Ableton. For this example, I only activated channels 1/2 in mono and 17/18 for mix-down. As you can see, nothing is coming through 1/2, but it shows in 17/18, which is counter-intuitive. 17/18 should only reflect a sum of tracks 1-16.)
Thank you
Multimix USB 2.0 Only Sending Stereo Channels 9-16+mixdown to Ableton 9.1
Multimix USB 2.0 Only Sending Stereo Channels 9-16+mixdown to Ableton 9.1
EMPLOYEE0Chris D (Employee) February 10, 2016 17:08Hello,
This is quite a post but thank you for explaining this. I can help. First, I recommend using 2.0 USB ports on your computer with this particular mixer. The USB 2.0 port sends every individual mixer channel as well as the MultiMix's MAIN OUT/2-TRACK OUT left and right signals to the computer. This means that, for the MultiMix 16 USB2.0, 16 individual channels are sent to the computer along with the MAIN stereo pair (18 channels in total.)
The USB2.0 port receives a stereo audio stream from the computer and assigns it to the 2-TRACK IN left and right channels of your MultiMix mixer. Note that, if a device is connected to the MultiMix's 2-TRACK IN inputs, the signal from this device is merged with the signal from the computer.
The best way to begin using the MultiMix for USB 2.0 recording is to set up your mixer this way:
1. Hook up your monitoring system to the MultiMix's CTRL RM OUT jacks.
2. Apply the MASTER section's buttons as follows:
a. 2 TK TO MIX: Leave UP. Pressing this button down can cause nasty
feedback loops.
b. MIX TO CONTROL ROOM: Press DOWN. This will allow you to hear the music being recorded in real time.
c. ALT 3/4 TO CONTROL ROOM: Leave up or down.
d. 2 TK TO CONTROL ROOM: Press DOWN. This will allow you to hear the output from the computer.
e. ALT 3/4 TO MIX: Leave up or down.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I have those settings in use currently. Like I mentioned, I have a lot of experience with the USB 8 2.0 and am not experiencing any issues with that machine.
In the scenario I provided in the original post, I only have one single mono input in Channel 1. Ableton recognizes that Channel 1 exists, but does not register any sound. The Main Mix (channel 17-18) registers what is coming through Channel 1. (So, only receiving the SUM of all tracks, not the individual of MONO channels 1-8. Like I said, the tracks 9-16 come through in stereo perfectly.)
Please let me know the next steps for troubleshooting.
Thank you!
Chris D (Employee) February 10, 2016 19:56I would suggest contacting our Alesis technical support team to further troubleshoot you. If you log onto www.alesis.com/support, you can call and contact the support office closest to where you live. Their contact numbers are listed on that page.
Exactly the same problem for me, (I mean the tracks 1 to 8 sounds good but are not recorded, the others tracks 9 to 16 are working perfectly, and the routing is ok)
did you find a solution ?
Let me know please !

Johannes Enschedé Hof was built with modern façade containing 10 homes; 8 for women over 65 and 2 for elderly couples. The official address is at Korte Begijnestraat 18-36 (even numbers only).
If you are interested to visit, the entrance to Johannes Enschedé Hof is located on Korte Begijnestraat near Begijnebrug bridge. The almshouse is open to visitors Monday to Saturday from 10am – 5pm. Strictly no visitors on Sundays and public holidays.
NOTE: Incidentally, this newest almshouse, the Johannes Enchedé Almshouse, lies adjacent to the oldest almshouse Hofje van Bakenes dating back 1395. Both almshouses are interconnected! Hofje van Bakenes has 2 entrance gates located along Bakenessergracht, next to house number 64 and the other is on Wijde Appelaarsteeg, just around the corner through Nauwe Appelaarsteeg street. Look out for green door with decorated keystone above it!

Soundlab: Pearl Decade Maple Drums
10 years back, the group at Pearl laid out to develop a drum series that redefined the balance in between efficiency as well as value. The outcome? A brand-spanking new line of affordably valued, well-crafted drums properly called the Decade Maple collection. The company went all in on delivering premium audio, sturdiness, as well as looks, while maintaining street tags below a grand. This is a real worth play.
Seems like some hefty marketing terminology, right? Well, after spending a couple months with the Years drums, I obtain it. While the list price of the shell pack included in this evaluation can be found in over $1,000, the actual shelf price is $699, as well as fairly frankly, that's bonkers. Allow me tell you why.
Pearl drums sent out over one of the new Decade Maple packages in a typical 5-piece setup, the sizes of which are detailed in the graphic on the facing page. Additional setups are available, consisting of shell packs with added toms, or 20 ″ to 24 ″ size bass drums. Pearl by Remo single-ply heads came mounted all over.
Look with your special eyes on Pearl Drums
Male, you actually can not go wrong with black drums. The appearance is as classic as a grand piano in a great hall or a monocle on a cigar-smoking pet. There's just something elegant concerning it.
The Years Maple set I obtained for review landed birthing the Black Ice coating – a crisp, deep black lacquer expertly used throughout each shell, which would look at residence in a first-class hotel ballroom. (Even more finish options are available, consisting of a selection of attractive gloss as well as matte lacquer ruptureds.).
That smooth, evening wear coating was reinforced by Pearl's drums low-mass NDL lugs, which are tiny enough to stay out of the way and also allow the gaping maw of unlimited evening swallow the eye further. Completely lacquered bass drum hoops finished the appearance, however were stabilized by a covered white resonant-side kick head with a preinstalled port. I seem like I'm just circling around currently, however this is a stylish set of drums.
Contractor's essentials of Pearl Drums
Whenever I checked out the Years Maple kit's construction, I was struck by the care bought each element. Its all-maple, 6-ply, 5.4 mm shells are silky smooth inside as well as flawlessly round in between each set of lugs.
Staggered joints aid maintain shell stamina and form, and every covering side concerns a finely reduced 45-degree indoor quality with a somewhat rounded over outside bevel. Also without regard for the price factor, these are effectively crafted shells.
Those small NDL lugs were light but really felt solid in hand, as well as slim plastic gaskets held each lug securely while preventing rattling. Slim, telescoping bass drum spurs looked a bit tiny on the kick, but held firm throughout the review.
Both rack toms came equipped with Pearl's drums Opti-loc suspension-style installing system, which was a nice shock. The places perform in truth pass through the shell at one contact point, yet distribute downward pressure extra uniformly by supporting against two batter-side tension poles. This makes it possible for the shell to shake even more freely than it would with a fully touched bracket, while limiting bounce and also wobble. Likewise, floating Air Suspension feet on the flooring tom legs offered the jumbo drum additional room to breathe without the requirement for a cradle.
The supplied 7/8 ″ Unilock tom arms were strong and also efficient, with breeding memory locks as well as a gearless single-bolt tilter for boosted placing variety. The top tube of each arm was a bit long, as well as could even touch the contrary side of the shell when fully inserted. Yet this really did not pose any issue throughout our review, since I was able to position the installed toms for comfy play by backing each out a portion of an inch.
It's a balancing act, folks. Compromises have to be made in order to supply an excellent seeming kit at an affordable price variety, which indicates potential customers require to ask themselves if the selections made by Pearl's R&D group match their very own priorities. Miss back a couple of paragraphs, and reconsider at the solidity of Years Maple shells, and you can theorize that the designers traded a pair minor hardware traits for expert sound as well as playability. We believe they made the appropriate choice.
BING, BANG, BOOM with Pearl Drums
Sonically, the Years Maples were specifically what I was expecting in a second-stage or performance-level kit similar to this. Those thin maple coverings as well as low-mass lugs let the drums reverberate with wide, open tones that relocate among reduced, tool, as well as high tuning varies easily. Rather than provide a narrow, specific performance application, these drums have a standard kind of noise that can swiftly be customized to fit almost any setting.
I thought the included 14 ″ x 5.5 ″ matching maple snare drum was a terrific value-add for this set. Matching snare drums commonly seem like placeholder throw-ins that won't be around for long, however that isn't the instance right here. The Decade entrapment was a crisp, lively system with a great deal to claim. It would certainly make a superb jazz or blend drum at medium tunings and also over. The slim yet strong throw-off and chrome-over-steel cables felt most comfortable when tensioned on the tight side, offering a quickly, dry breeze under each note. The snare shed a little power when tuned below medium, so you might intend to swap it out for a large backbeat gig, yet it was or else a beneficial addition.
The bass drum is the genuine celebrity for me, however. Pearl drums ships each Years set with a specially made muffling pillow that installs to a preinstalled Velcro strip inside the drum. Coupled with the interior tone-control rings on each single-ply bass drumhead, it assists create a super-solid, fat bump with lots of slapping assault up front. With simply under medium stress on both heads, I obtained that classic, punching Dennis Chambers sound. It went reduced as well as higher without problem, however really felt most comfy in the medium range. I think the reality that the toms place onto the bass drum assists regulate the audio much more without compromising power or fullness.
Both rack toms audio tidy as well as full, with a refined brightness that was probably improved by the quick breeze of clear, single-ply heads. I believe the thinner 1.6 mm hoops actually make a difference right here, making it possible for the drums to sing just a bit much more openly than a heavier hoop would certainly permit. I enjoyed them regardless of how they were tuned, but they struck a precise wonderful place when tensioned just below medium. They allowed but controlled, and also extremely effective.
The flooring tom sounded fantastic once I obtained it dialed in– abundant, reduced, as well as grumbling. Nonetheless, it required much more adjusting time than the other drums, most likely because of the tension spread of 6 lugs per head. If I acquired this set, I 'd think about replacing the floor tom's 1.6 mm hoops with 2.3 mm hoops, to disperse downward pressure a bit extra evenly around the head. Once more, regardless of all that, I loved the tone.
Judgment Pearl Drums
Pearl put ten complete years right into creating brand-new Years Maple drums, and also it reveals. These are terrific tools, as well as the cost makes them an unbelievable value. I discovered the shell building top quality to be excellent, and also the audio phenomenal. There are a couple small equipment concessions to preserve its cost point, as well as yet the whole gear feels solid and tough. As well as I need to include that all Years covering packs include a life time service warranty from Pearl, something absolutely extraordinary in this price range. As an upgrade package for the developing drummer or a gigging gear for a working pro, this is a tough buy to beat.

In the post Theatron as an eye I proposed the Greek Theater, or Theatron (as opposed to the "theater in a box", or Cartesian Theater, see further) as a good model for vision.
Any model of vision should avoid the homunculus fallacy. What looks less understood is that any good model of vision should avoid the scenic space fallacy. The Cartesian Theater argument against the existence of the homunculus is not, by construction, an argument against the scenic space. Or, in the Cartesian Theater, homunculus and scenic space come to existence in a pair. As a conclusion, it seems that there could not be a model of vision which avoids the homunculus but is not avoiding the scenic space. This observation is confirmed by facts: there is no good, rigorous model of vision up to date, because all proposed models rely on the a priori existence of a scenic space. There is, on the contrary, a great quantity of experimental data and theoretical partial models which show just how complex the problem of vision is. But, essentially, from a mathematician viewpoint, it is not known how to even formulate the problem of vision.
In the influent paper "The brain a geometry engine" J. Koenderink proposes that (at least a part of) the visual mechanism is doing a kind of massively parallel computation, by using an embodiment of the geometry of jet spaces (the euclidean infinitesimal geometry of a smooth manifold) of the scenic space. Jean Petitot continues along this idea, by proposing a neurogeometry of vision based essentially on the sub-riemannian geometry of those jet spaces. This an active mathematical area of research, see for example "Antropomorphic image reconstruction via hypoelliptic diffusion", by Ugo Boscain et al.
Sub-riemannian geometry is one of my favorite mathematical subjects, because it is just a particular model of a metric space with dilations. Such spaces are somehow fundamental for the problem of vision, I think. Why? because there is behind them a purely relational formalism, called "emergent algebra", which allow to understand "understanding space" in a purely relational way. Thus I hope emergent algebras could be used in order to formulate the problem of vision as the problem of computing with space, which in turn could be used for getting a good model of vision.
To my surprise, some time ago I have found that this very complex subject has a respectable age, starting with Pythagora and Plato! This is how I arrived to write this blog, as an effort to disseminate what I progressively understand.
This brings me back to the theater and, finally, to gnomon. I cite from previous wiki link:
Hero defined a gnomon as that which, added to an entity (number or shape), makes a new entity similar to the starting entity.
In the greek theater, a gnomon sits in the center of the orchestra (which is the circular place where things happen in the greek thater, later replaced by the scene in the theater in a box). Why?

Rosslyn Chapel is one of nine attractions across Edinburgh and Lothians to feature in the list of the top 20 paid admission attractions in Scotland in 2016, according to figures released by the Moffat Centre for Travel and Business Development, Glasgow Caledonian University.
The chapel is the only site in Midlothian to feature in the list and was the 14th most visited paid attraction in Scotland. Visitor numbers in 2016 reached 174,935, which was up 8 per cent on the previous year.
Ian Gardner, Director of Rosslyn Chapel Trust, said: "It's great news that the popularity of Rosslyn Chapel has been maintained and we are grateful to all visitors for choosing to visit. Every visit provides the Trust, which is a registered charity, with essential income to look after the Chapel for future generations to appreciate and therefore encourage more people to visit Midlothian in future."
2016 was a 'winning year' for Rosslyn Chapel, which was named 'best visitor attraction' in the national finals of the Scottish Thistle Awards in March and won a prestigious Sandford Award, for its education work, in the summer.
The 15th century chapel was also confirmed as a 5-star historic attraction by VisitScotland, won a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor for the third consecutive year, and a 'Gold' award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme in December.
The top paid attraction in Scotland in 2016 was Edinburgh Castle.

Happy Black Friday friends! I hope you got some sleep and weren't out all-night shopping because online shopping is where it's at this weekend. We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday with the kids and my parents and did a lot of relaxing. Rush is learning how to walk right now (he's so close!) so we spent most of the day cheering him on as he toddled about. It was too much fun! This morning is all about shopping and buying gifts, and today I'm collaborating with Nordstrom to share the best of Nordstrom's Black Friday Sale with you!

An 18-year Navy man, his wife and their three children -- one of whom is autistic -- are being kicked out of their Forest City military housing because the sailor was stressed, threatened to take his life inside his home, and caused a 12-hour standoff with police before he was taken into custody, the man's wife said.
"I am horrified that Forest City is trying to remove my family from military housing because they did not like the police in the neighborhood when I called thinking my husband might harm himself," said Melissa Carter. "Suicide is a huge problem in the military right now, so I was shocked that my trying to get my husband help for what is quite possibly a military-related mental break is being treated so callously by private housing."
The action raises the question as to privatized military housing operator responsibilities at a time when military stress is rising and well-documented.
Chad Carter, a 36-year-old sonar technician on the destroyer USS Chung-Hoon, was admitted to Tripler Army Medical Center's psychiatric ward after the incident and will be in a civilian post-traumatic stress center for at least four weeks, his wife said.
The incident happened Aug. 14 in Radford Terrace housing. On Aug. 17, privatized military housing landlord Forest City sent the Carters a letter saying their month-to-month lease was being terminated and they had 45 days to move out.
A separate barricade situation Thursday in Moanalua Terrace military housing saw a 22-year-old Pearl Harbor sailor armed with a shotgun threaten others before surrendering to police, officials said.
Navy Cmdr. J.P. Orlich, the commander of the Pearl Harbor-based destroyer Chung-Hoon, wrote to Forest City on Aug. 22 asking that the lease "non-renewal" be reconsidered for the Carters.
"My understanding is that you did not renew his lease due to the police presence and the 'threat' he caused in the neighborhood," Orlich said. Orlich said Chad Carter is off island receiving treatment.
"This removal from housing would directly impact Mrs. Carter and their three children, ranging in age from 10 years to 18 months, who should be focused on the care of (her) husband (versus) finding a new residence," Orlich said.
One of her children is autistic, "and all these changes at once are very difficult for him to process, making a sudden move even more traumatic for my family," Melissa Carter said.
Tom Carter, vice president of military housing for Forest City, wrote back to Orlich on Monday saying that after consulting with the legal department, the lease nonrenewal would stand.
"Based on the violent nature of the offense, we must consider the safety of our remaining residents as well as the continuing liability of such behavior," Forest City's Carter said.
Greg Raap, regional vice president of Forest City Military Communities Hawaii, said in an email Monday to the Star-Advertiser: "We don't have any information to share at this time, as we're currently in discussions with the Navy to find a solution that is in the best interest of both the family involved and our neighborhood."
Forest City manages more than 6,500 Navy and Marine Corps homes in Hawaii under a public-private partnership with the military. Navy Region Hawaii said Tuesday it was "working closely" with Forest City and the family.
Melissa Carter said her family, who has lived in two Forest City-managed homes since 2009, "never caused problems in the neighborhood before." Her husband was being treated for depression, but was found fit for duty, she said.
She believes her husband's life-threatening actions were "definitely military-stress-related."
He didn't make the rank of chief this year, and he had come off a high-stress assignment on the cruiser USS Port Royal after it ran aground on a shallow shoal-water reef off Honolulu Airport in an embarrassing grounding in 2009.
"They were working ridiculously long hours with unrealistic deadlines," she said.
Carter said her husband told a medical command he was suicidal while home alone, the command called her, and she called police.
He wouldn't let police in, she said. Nearby residents were asked to voluntarily evacuate. About 30 SWAT and other officers surrounded the Carters' four-bedroom duplex on McCurry Place before forcibly entering the home.
Melissa Carter said no charges resulted, and there "was no violence, except the threat of cutting his own wrists, which he did not do."
She said there were no previous suicide attempts and no domestic violence problems, and that her husband is remorseful about what happened.
Forest City won't allow the family into any of its housing elsewhere, they are "lower priority" for Air Force housing, and it might take six months to get into Army housing, she said.
Carter said stress in the military is always there, but that it increases when demands and deployment time are high, as they are now.
"I think the problem is more that there is a stigma that if you get help, then bad things are going to happen either to your career, or as I'm finding out, to your housing situation," she said.
