Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba will begin a five-day visit to the US tomorrow during which he will hold extensive talks with the top military brass of the Trump administration to consolidate bilateral naval cooperation, including in the Indo-Pacific region.
Admiral Lanba will hold discussions with Defence Secretary James Mattis, Secretary of the US Navy Richard V Spencer, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph F Dunford Jr, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John M Richardson and Commander of Pacific Command Admiral Harry Harris, a senior Navy official said.
The Navy chief will also meet Commander of Pacific Fleet Admiral Scott Swift and Commander of Naval Sea Systems Command Vice Admiral Thomas J Moore. "The visit aims to consolidate cooperation between the Armed Forces of both India and USA and also to explore new avenues of defence cooperation," the defence ministry said.
Sources said China's growing military presence in South China Sea and its rising assertiveness in that region may figure in the talks that Admiral Lanba will have with top US military officials. The US has been pushing for a broader role for India in the strategically important Indo-Pacific region. In November last year, India, the US, Australia and Japan gave shape to the long-pending "Quad" to develop a new strategy to keep the critical sea routes in the Indo-Pacific free from Chinese influence.
India, the US and several other nations have been calling for freedom of navigation in the disputed South China Sea. The US has been periodically sending naval ships and planes to assert freedom of navigation to the critical sea lanes, much to the chagrin of China.
In addition to holding bilateral discussions, Admiral Lanba will also visit the Pacific Command Headquarters at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, the Naval Surface Warfare Centre (NSWC) in Dahlgren, the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC.
The defence and security ties between India and the US have been on an upswing in the last few years as both the countries have concluded a number of major agreements to further bolster strategic ties. The pacts include the Defence Framework Agreement, signed in 2015, which lays a blueprint for collaboration between the defence establishments of both countries, and the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) signed in 2016. The LEMOA provides for facilitating reciprocal logistics support between the armed forces of the two countries.
In addition, India was accorded Major Defence Partner status by the US in 2016, bringing New Delhi on par with Washington's closest allies for defence-related trade and technology transfer. The Indian Navy cooperates with the US Navy on several fronts which include operational interactions such as the Malabar naval exercise and exchange of white shipping information. Warships from both navies have also been regularly visiting each other's ports.

On Saturday, the conservative editors of the Wall Street Journal editorial page used their weekly Fox News show to attack every aspect of the health care reform that President Obama is trying to work through Congress. To criticize the idea of public insurance plan, assistant editorial page editor James Freeman claimed that health reform in Massachusetts shows what would happen with a public option:
GIGOT: All right, James, let me ask you about this — the public option. Because the president says, Look, all this is, is going to compete with the private plans, keep them honest. The insurers are making a lot of money right now. We need to keep them honest.
FREEMAN: Right, and I think the beauty of this is we don't need to guess or estimate or just posit what might happen, because the people of Massachusetts since 2006 have been running the experiment for all of us, and we can go to school on it.
Gigot: Thanks to Mitt Romney, former Republican governor.
Freeman: That's right.
Gigot: Or no thanks to Mitt Romney.
Freeman: And it's very clear what happens. Private insurance goes away, more people go on the public plan, costs explode, more costs go onto small business, and people lose their jobs or they get salary freezes.
Watch it:
There's one problem with Freeman's analysis: Massachusetts doesn't have a public plan. As former MA governor Mitt Romney, who implemented the plan, told CNSNews last month, "Our plan did not include a government insurance plan." "Instead, we relied entirely on private market-based insurance plans to help people get insurance," said Romney.
Instead of a public plan, Massachusetts uses an employer mandate and subsidies for people under 300 percent of the federal poverty level unable to afford coverage. Massachusetts has successfully expanded coverage to all but 2.6 percent of its population, but unfortunately, the program deferred "until another day any serious effort to control the state's runaway health costs." Proponents argue that a public plan would be key to cost control.

A great day in the marsh creating future trappers and trapping advocates
by Carly Deacon
Folks trap for the same reasons we fish and hunt. It's a part of that whole lifestyle. It is an appreciation for nature as well as quality time with friends and family. Trappers, like hunters and anglers, are stewards of the land and have strong connections with wildlife, conservation and the environment. We use trapping as an effective means to manage problem wildlife, to manage overabundance of wildlife, and to control the spread of wildlife disease.
Landowners and municipalities use trapping to reduce property damage such as damage to dykes, livestock, hydraulic structures and flooding caused by dams. Fur bearing animals also provide us with a source of food, warmth against the elements and their fur is used for the most exquisite detailing on jackets, mitts, boots, hats and now even moving into stylish home décor accessories. All that being said, trapping is a tradition and practice that we want to see passed on to future generations!
My past job with Delta Waterfowl Foundation sparked my interest in trapping. During my undergrad years I worked for Delta as a field researcher during the summers, collecting data on duck nest success on their predator management sites (designated areas that were being trapped for animals that are detrimental to duck nests such as fox, raccoon, skunk, coyote, etc.). Moving forward in my career at Delta, once I was a full time employee, I was able to spend some time with the trappers on their trap lines.
They were experts in the trade and had many techniques down to a science. However every day and every animal was different. Even with 30 years of experience under their belt, they too were still learning and experimenting. The thought and detail put into each set amazed me and the work it took to outsmart the animals made it insanely rewarding when success was achieved!
Much like most new sports, when taking up traditions like hunting, fishing and trapping, mentorship is essential. Unless you have someone to show you the ropes, it is difficult to pursue these endeavors on your own. Trapping fell in this category for me, even after my time with the Delta trappers and taking the Provincial Trappers Course, I was nowhere near confident enough to purchase a trapper license and venture out. Over the last year however, and thanks to great mentors, that feeling has changed for me.
Muskrat Trapping: A Great place to Start
I have quickly learned that muskrat trapping is the least daunting of all fur bear trapping. These little rodents are easy to find, accessible and happen to be relatively abundant in certain marshy areas. They are a semi-aquatic rodent and a member of the mice and vole family. They love areas of still, or slow-moving water bodies such as sloughs, marshes, ponds or other various types of wetlands (which we have plenty of here in MB). They often build dens in the banks of a water body (if the bank slope is adequate), but more commonly, build houses made of vegetation in marshes and sloughs.
My hubby (Clarke) and I were invited to Oak Hammock Marsh to participate in a "How to Trap Muskrat" educational day for youth. We gladly attended, representing MWF and our interest in the province's next generation of trappers, but also to hopefully learn a few tricks so Clarke and I can start trapping on our own. This special education day was organized by the local Netley/Libau Fur Council (an affiliate of the Manitoba Trappers Association) under a special trapping permit and is their second year running. Their objectives are to create another outdoor opportunity for families to enjoy together, to introduce easy methods of muskrat trapping to some local kids to spark their interest in the trapping lifestyle, and last but not least, to manage the population of muskrats at Oak Hammock Marsh in efforts to reduce damage to the dykes and minimize the incremental maintenance costs the government incurs repairing them annually. All amazing objectives I would say!
Oak Hammock Marsh was once a natural marsh spanning 47,000 hectares from the North edge of Winnipeg to Teulon. A small portion of that original marsh (3,450 hectares) is now artificially maintained with the help of 22 km of earth dykes, segregating the marsh into manageable cells where water levels can be manipulated to mimic natural wetland cycles. The muskrats thrive in this habitat. The dykes provide kilometers of prime habitat and the carefully managed cells are flourishing with emergent and submergent vegetation which provides them with food and adequate den building materials. When we pulled up to the marsh and looked over the first cell of water, we could clearly see at least 100 rat houses. They were endless!
Chris Heald led this adventure, an active member of the Netley/Libau fur council, valuable MWF volunteer and a good friend. Rob Andrushuk, Director of Manitoba Trappers Association, was also leading the way. Chris is one of those guys that is always looking for ways to share his passions for the outdoors with others. Chris and his son Andrew are the "Intro to Trapping" instructors at our Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program and Chris leads the Canadian Faces of Freedom initiatives taking wounded veterans out fishing and on waterfowl hunts. Needless to say, the Heald family are great people! We separated into groups with the kids and ventured out into the marsh to set approximately 35 traps.
Setting Muskrat Traps
We observed Chris and Andrew for the first few sets, but it wasn't long before Clarke and I were also helping the kids set traps with a small amount of guidance. Chris kept it simple using stoploss foothold traps. A common size used for muskrat are 1 or 1 and a 1/2. Any jaw type trap (body gripping or foothold traps) must be set as a submersion set that exerts clamping force on a muskrat and that maintains the muskrat underwater until it drowns. To ensure you are using the correct certified trap refer to the Manitoba Trapping Guide, or call Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship or the Manitoba Trappers Association. They will have all the information you need on certified traps regulated for trapping various Manitoba species.
We first scouted for the muskrat houses with the best potential. Active muskrat houses remain unfrozen and have an open hole inside where the rats access the house coming in and out of the ice. A long spear works well to find active houses. Once you know the house is active, you can start digging into the house using a small shovel or trowel to find the hole in the ice. This part gets a bit dirty, but fun nonetheless. Once Inside the house, we cleared the ice hole of vegetation and ensured the set trap was placed directly beside the hole (as close as it can be to the water) restricting the rat to only option once it is caught…and that option is into the water. While digging the vegetation out, if you notice some fresh green clippings, this is also a good indication that the house is active. Once the trap was set we re-covered the hole with the original vegetation, being careful not to drop vegetation back into our freshly cleaned out hole and setting the trap off. Adequately covering up the hole again is important to ensure the house doesn't freeze. Every house was different. It was interesting to see the muskrats natural pathways and shelves beside the ice hole…this certainly helped decide the best place to set the trap. The next morning Chris pulled more kids in to get involved, his daughter Jocelyne and her friend Shaelyn – two great girls full of curiosity and excitement.
Trapping is Like Christmas Morning
Checking the traps was like opening gifts on Christmas Morning. So exciting and incredibly rewarding. We pulled the vegetation carefully back to peek inside. If the trap was still visible and set, we covered it up again with little disturbance. The excitement rose when the trap was not visible, meaning it was down the water hole and there was a chance we might have caught one. I had a lot of fun with the girls. They squeaked and giggled when the trap wasn't visible. It was always a negotiation about who was brave enough to put their hand down the hole to pull up the trap. We all gathered in anticipation at each house and announced our rewards across the marsh to the other groups when we were successful! "We caught another one Dad", Jocelyn's excitement was so contagious! We ended up with 9 muskrats that morning, which I thought was pretty great. They were in good condition with a nice think underlying waterproof layer of fur overlain by long, glossy guard hairs. They ranged in colour and size from light brown and reddish to dark brown. Adults can weigh from 1.5 to 4 pounds and range from 16-25 inches in length. Muskrats have a long flattened tail and webbed hind feet. They are cool little critters with big teeth resembling a beaver. Muskrat in Manitoba are in their prime during the months of mid-February to mid-April, depending on the weather that season. In southern Manitoba in Open Trapping Areas 1-4, seasons are open from Oct 14- November 30, and again on March 15-April 30. However Wildlife Management Areas like Oak Hammock Marsh and Grants Lake require a special permit to trap in those areas. Refer to the Trapping Guide to get the trapping season schedule for all species and to review the trapping boundaries outlined for the province. This will give you the basics, and for more details and information speak to a Conservation Officer in your region or call Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship.
We had lunch on the tail-gate at Oak Hammock that afternoon to spend as much time as we could to enjoy everything the marsh had to offer. In these first days of spring the marsh was finally waking up. Tons of geese flew overhead and the warm sun began melting the top layer of ice on the marsh. I couldn't get enough!
Skinning and Drying
Skinning muskrat is surprisingly pretty easy once you get the hang of it. The best way to learn is to do a few on your own. We went back to the Heald residence that day and hung the rats in his garage to skin. We all chipped in on skinning the critters, fleshing the hide and pinning them properly onto drying boards to help the kids out. I love this kind of work. It can be a bit laborious but the results are so rewarding! 9 rats was a piece of cake, I can't imagine if we had caught 35.
Muskrat trapping is simple enough for kids of all ages to participate in, and in the right area the the odds of catching are pretty good, which fuels the excitement and interest! It is so important that trapping traditions are continued and passed on through mentorship and programs like this education day for youth. These kids have learned the importance of this practice and whether they become trappers or not, will have a positive outlook and respect for the trade going forward.
Since this first day helping trap rats at Oak Hammock, Clarke and I have had the pleasure to also learn how to set beaver traps with Chris and Andrew. Another successful and fun day that I will eventually tell you all about! I'm so thankful for the mentors in my life. Big thanks to Chris, Rob and Andrew for letting us tag along on these great trapping adventures.

I Do!
Read the Excerpt
Rebecca Ramsey unplugged the iPod, then leaned beneath the raised hood. She cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled, "Hello!"
A hollow thud like someone thumped a watermelon came from beneath the car. mingled with the sound of tools hitting concrete.
Becca wrinkled her nose and whispered, "Ouch." She straightened to the sound of a painful moan and a few "goddamn its." Then two greasy hands reached from beneath and grabbed the shiny bumper. Under the smudges of grease, the head of a Chinese dragon breathed fire across the back of his hand. Squeaky little wheels rolled the rest of him from under the car. Long legs and a spiky belt led to a dirt-smudged white T-shirt over a flat belly. Next came hard forearms and balls of muscular shoulders. The rest of the dragon tattoo wrapped up his arm, and the tail disappeared under the T-shirt sleeve. His square chin and jaw were covered in dark stubble, and a frown pulled at the corners of his mouth. Then eyes the color of a clear Texas sky slid into view and stared up at her. Angry blue eyes beneath dark slashes of brows and surrounded by dark lashes. An even angrier red mark on his forehead seemed to turn redder by the second.
Despite the furious scowl and horrible welt, hideous spiky belt and tacky tattoo, he was so ridiculously hot, Becca felt her insides melt. He rubbed a greasy hand across the welt on his forehead. "Can I do something for you?"
"Yes." She'd met guys like him before. Guys who looked good in anything from tight T-shirts and jeans to a Sunday suit and tie. Guys who looked at a girl and took her breath away. She'd always been a sucker for guys like him. Hot guys with cool names like Tucker or Slade or Toby Ray. Or, in this case, Nathan Parrish.

How to clean a bong Limpuro style
We all know that things can get a bit dirty and everything needs a clean now and again; there's no exception when it comes to your bongs. Below is a quick guide on how to clean your bong, and therefore get the most use out of it.
First, how dirty is your bong? Have you left it for weeks, maybe months ( maybe never) with old water in the bottom, or just let the grime, tar and dirt build up? Start by running hot water through the bong, this will help loosen the grime clinging to the sides.
We recommend using Limpuro cleaner as its 100% biodegradable and can be used on both plastic and glass bongs (http://www.justlivit.co.uk/limpuro/cleaner). Plug any holes to ensure your water and cleaning solution doesn't go everywhere. If you're using Limpuro concentrate, mix between 5-10ml with 100ml of water and pour this in, leave to soak for 5-10 minutes.
Once you've soaked your bong with your cleaner you should see the grime has disappeared, but still, make sure you rinse your bong several times to ensure all the cleaner has been rinsed out.
Don't leave it too long in-between cleans! As with anything, if you clean something often it takes less time and effort the next time around.
Happy cleaning.

Here are some of our top tips for learning how to spell better and improve your spelling test results…
How to Do Better on a Spelling Quiz
Learning how to spell words correctly requires concentration and focus.
1. Get Curious About Words
Great spellers are curious and interested to learn new words, and to learn the correct spelling for any words they're not sure how to spell.
2. Practice Spelling
Every time you see a new word or make a mistake, learn from your experience. Spend 15 seconds recounting the proper spelling of the word in your mind.
3. Read More Good Writing
The more you read great books and high-quality blogs, the more you'll learn by seeing new words and correct spelling. Don't read trashy books or blogs that are filled with typos and errors.
4. Write a Spelling List
Write down the proper spelling for words you have misspelled in the past. The practice of writing down the proper spelling will help ingrain the memory of that word in different neurons in your brain, leading to longer-term memory improvement.
5. Practice Writing
One of the best ways to improve your spelling is to practice writing. You don't have to be an author or genius to write. You can simply write about your own life experiences, keep a journal, write poetry, or just write down the random thoughts that come to your mind.
The more you write, the faster you will learn to spell, and the better you will be at communicating (which is a very important skill in life).

January 2011: Discussion in Zürich and Antananarivo and...about the article
"Confessional Western Text-centered biblical Interpretation
and an oral or residual-oral context
(by Jonathan A. Draper, (University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, Südafrika, in "Reading with", African Overtures, Semeia 73)
Text:see below (pièces jointes: literacy and orality)
Tsena Malalaka-Member Tania Oldenhage writes:
Jonathan Draper's essay raises questions about the significance of the Bibel as a written document that needs to be read in order to be understood. Confronted with the oral performance of the Bible among grassroots groups of black Christians in South Africa, Draper was forced to rethink his own assumption on the centrality of Scripture (Sola Scriptura). His essay is able to raise crictial questions also for us: How much is our own engagment with the Bible based on the assumption that this book is a text filled with letters that need to be read? Are there ways - beyond textuality - to make the Bible alive for us? In our mind, is there a world beyond text at all?

It has been a weird and tough few months at Cloches and Lavender. I haven't posted since January and I really miss it, but things have been going on behind the scenes.
As many of you know, I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis; I am still the same and have not had any episodes thank God! However, we have been talking a lot lately about whether we should down size and sell our lovely home after 18 wonderful years. It is a center hall colonial and the stairs have been a struggle for me for quite some time.
I have to go up the stairs one leg at a time since I can't bend my right leg to well; as I suffer from drop foot due to the MS. It is very tiring and I have fallen on occasion; not worth it anymore.
This is and was a very hard decision to make but it had to be done for my safety and well-being. It will be better in the long run. So downsizing and one level-living here we come.
We are moving to a much flatter area of Northern New Jersey about 10 minutes from where we are now and into a brand new ranch that we will build. It will be better for me for everyday living and cleaning. I will be able to take care of our two puppies more easily.
I am excited about our new endeavor. I mean, come on, it is a new house and I get to do all my decorating all over again, so that is fun. I could spend weeks and weeks picking out cabinets, hardwood floors, etc.
I haven't started any new projects since we are going to be packing up the house in just a matter of weeks. We are moving in with a friend while the house is getting done. We are so blessed to have her in our lives.
On a sad note, just recently, we lost our brother-in-law to lung cancer. He was a fantastic man and would do anything for anyone he cared for, he was great. My husband has known him since he was 5 and he was actually an altar boy at his sister's wedding to him.
He loved his family dearly and I am so thankful that he had a chance to see his brand new granddaughter. He loved her very much.
I was and feel very blessed that I got to know such a wonderful man for 24 ½ years.
Look for posts in the future with updates on our new home and posts regarding our lives while we are at our friends home with 5 dogs in total.

We had beautiful weather for our co-op which was really nice since the story, Arabella, took place on an island. It gave the children the chance to explore some island topics in a beautiful, sunny setting (which our hostess had decorated to the nines!!!) As always, it was an amazing day - only diminished for us by the absence of Isaiah who wasn't feeling quite up to par in the morning. (Thankfully he was much better by the afternoon.)
We started the morning by reading the story which is about a little boy spending time with his grandfather on an island. During a storm, the Grandfather's prize possession, a model boat made by his father is swept to sea. The little boy goes out to find it. The ending of the story is both surprising and beautiful. It's one you would enjoy reading!
Our first lesson was on rope - the construction of it, the variety of types and materials used to make rope and the different types of ropes. Below the children are examining ropes.
Of course, learning about ropes led to tying knots.
And more comparing of the ropes.
Next we talked about the location of the story - an island. The children talked about where the story could have taken place.
Instead of exploring a specific island, we were treated to going to our own new island!
Can you see the detail in how this room is decorated to look like an island? The attention to details is so beyond me - and such an expression of this sweet friend's gifts!
The children learned about a variety of sea creatures from whales to anemone, from mollusks to jellyfish.
More of the display of the room. They were treated to video of the great coral reef.
The children were given so much good information. (It made me think that I really need to do more in-depth with some of mine! I love that I'm learning from this co-op too. Not just facts but ways to improve my teaching and our homeschool.)
As they were learning about various creatures (below is coral), they were able to handle some coral and shells. It's always fascinating to learn about shells!
The children were then split into teams to see how much they remembered. They were asked questions and then were to work together as a team to come up with an answer. This is a great way to do it so that you can rely on the strengths of others - as some information may have stuck with one and not with another. They all did a great job - and these were NOT easy questions either.
It is fun to watch them work together - and even more to just enjoy learning.
Had to show you this! She even had her own "Arabella" for the window!!!
The children learned about sound and resonance.
Rebecca helped keep the little girls happy. Aren't they all cute?
The lesson on sound continued with learning about how sound travels on a string in this old game that most of us have enjoyed at one time or another in our lives.
Snack time was an amazing spread!!! All of the foods related to our story or its themes from pretzels that were twisted like rope or knots to tropical fruit to "fish". And my sweet friends also keep Joshua in mind at snack time too which really touches my heart.
Meat is a "free" snack for Joshua for the most part - and very few other things are. I try to keep the carb count of his snacks low enough that he doesn't need a shot (this will be changed by the pump!). The free snack were little octopuses - and Joshua LOVEd them!
The last lesson of the day was expanding a little more on knots as the children learned how to tie various knots to make a macrame keychain or bracelet.
The children were all proud of their work!
Rebecca enjoyed doing this one too. I watched Eliana while she learned and then she went home and showed Isaiah how to do it too.
Amazing day. Amazing friends. I'm thankful, so very thankful to be blessed by the creativity and talent of these sweet friends.
Hope you are having a blessed Easter week-end!

Magazine times for the 812 Superfast are inflated so it is good to get some real world independent data.
In addition, here is some GPS Dragy data:
0-60 - 3.07
1/8 - 6.92 @ 108.11
60-130 - 6.70
0-130 - 9.77
1/4 mile - 10.54 @ 135.82
Since the whole slip was not posted previously from the owner's 1/4 mile run it is nice to have additional numbers along with the 60-130 of 6.70.
That is very quick for a naturally aspirated car and the 812 Superfast certainly moves.
The reasoning in the video below regarding gains is flawed however as they estimate the car picks up over 80 wheel horsepower from a 630 baseline that was never posted. The car showed 660 wheel with cat bypass pipes and you can not guess that bypass pipes add 30 whp plus you do not know where in the rev range the ECU is adjusting for them anyway or how much it is adjusting. Bypass pipes have even been known to lose power on a stock tune with modern cars. Poor analysis from Brooks at Dragtimes.
Throw that nonsense out and you have some good data.

President Barack Obama stomps challenger Governor Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential election. As of Nov. 6th the electoral college vote stood at 303 to 206. At the start of the election it seemed as though it was going to be a major tug-of-war between the two candidates but President Obama proved to be victorious in the end. He won the following states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Mexico, California, New Hampshire, Washington, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, Washington D.C., Florida, Virginia and Nevada.
After winning the vital state of Ohio, President Obama tweeted, "This happened because of you. Thank you."
Romney delivered his concession speech in Boston and Obama followed with remarks in Chicago. Obama's lease on the White House will renew while he serves his second term as the 44th President of the U.S.

Fourteen-year-old Ronan Boyle is the youngest and lowliest recruit to the secret Garda, an Irish police force that handles the misdeeds of numerous magical creatures. Ronan's parents are in jail, but Ronan is convinced that they were framed by the wee people. So, despite his small size, poor eyesight, and social awkwardness, he's determined to learn all he can in the Garda in order to prove his parents' innocence. To show he's got what it takes, he'll have to confront a fiery leprechaun, a sinister harpy, and a whole world of monsters hidden in plain sight next to real-life Ireland. Fast paced, action packed, and completely hilarious, this is the start to an exciting new middle-grade series by actor and writer Thomas Lennon.
"Perhaps the finest children's novel of all time (in the ever-burgeoning leprechaun crime-drama sub-genre). Equal parts JK Rowling and Douglas Adams, which, y'know… ain't a bad thing."— "Weird Al" Yankovic
"A touching, funny read for smart kids young and old. Flat-out laughed out loud!"— Patton Oswalt
"Actor/screenwriter Lennon (the Night at the Museum series) makes a spirited debut with this mythology-laden tale . . . the memorable voice and playful sensibility make this an entertaining series opener."— Publishers Weekly
"As flavorful as the strongest Irish stout."— Kirkus Reviews
"Delightfully absurd."— The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The main thing that readers ages 10 to 15 will want to know about "Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles" (Amulet, 286 pages, $17.99) is that it's extremely funny. Styled as a personal journal and set in a magical Irish subculture, Thomas Lennon's caper starts out in a state of wild high humor and never really lets up. Featuring exuberant artwork by John Hendrix and humorous footnotes ("Trolls eating children is really just nature's lint catcher—filtering out some of the ones that shouldn't get through"), "Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles" leaves a clear opening for a sequel and is, to repeat, extremely funny."— The Wall Street Journal
"In the author's forward, Lennon states this book is his "love letter to Douglas Adams," and his efforts to emulate Adams' linguistic zaniness are evident throughout the book."— School Library Journal
"Actor and humorist Lennon introduces readers to a bright, but also endearingly bumbling, tween protagonist and a fantasy faerie land filled with strange characters . . . A hilarious, otherworldly book."— Booklist
About the author
Thomas Lennon is a writer, comedian, and actor who has worked on a number of things you probably love, including Reno 911! and Night at the Museum. Lennon lives in Los Angeles with his wife, the actress Jenny Robertson, and their son, Oliver.
John Hendrix is the illustrator of Nurse, Soldier, Spy and author/illustrator of Shooting at the Stars and The Faithful Spy, which won the 2018 Society of Illustrators Gold Medal and received 4 starred reviews.

The problem with vending machine chocolate is that it's too cold. But I've found a simple solution...hot chocolate. I dip the cold chocolate in and it soon melts to a lovely gooey mess that I can slurp up happily. And then I get to drink the hot chocolate afterwards.
Can it get any better? :)

Swarm takes the logic of social media—demographically organized communities based around common interests, habits and markets—and transposes it onto gallery audiences. Using four rows of monitors, the work generates competing panoramic representations of the gallery space that appear to be exclusively occupied by specific groupings of people—men in their 20s, women in their 50s, people of Asian descent, people dressed in black, men with beards. Each group is shown as what appears to be a live video image, with people inserted into a "crowd" alongside others who have previously visited the gallery. Some crowds are much larger than others—a large group of middle-aged white women on one panorama, standing around, waiting for something to happen, may juxtapose with a solitary Latino male on another. Different demographic groupings territorialize the gallery's spaces, their numbers dynamically expanding and contracting.
Swarm is inspired by J.G. Ballard's High Rise (1975), a novel in which a thousand people live in close proximity in a modern apartment building. Eventually, the pressures of isolated yet claustrophobic living causes the residents of the high-rise to form clans organized around class demographics. The situation rapidly becomes monstrous, as residents begin killing each other in order to assert control of their environments. For Ballard, the residents are cool, unemotional, desensitized, with a minimal need for privacy and capable of thriving within the closed environment of this "malevolent zoo":
[The residents had] no qualms about the invasion of their privacy by government agencies and data-processing organizations, and if anything welcomed these invisible intrusions, using them for their own purposes. These people were the first to master a new kind of late-twentieth century life. They thrived on the rapid turnover of acquaintances, the lack of involvement with others, and the total self-sufficiency of lives which, needing nothing, were never disappointed.
Ballard's description of the paradoxical conditions of isolation and proximity in High Rise is analogous to the effects of 21st century social media. Virtual environments such as Facebook have successfully colonized our social existences, in part because of their efficiency and viral expansion into our daily lives. Users are willing to offer up their privacy to social media systems because they simplify the individual management of our social lives. In return, we are confronted with systems that take control over who we know, what we know about them and how those relationships are framed, remembered and proceed. Social media technologies involve a redistribution of identities based upon principles of demographic segmentation, social exclusivity and the illusion of community. Just as in Swarm and High-Rise, the collision of individual and masses involves a psycho-pathological breakdown, re-mapped by technology.
Swarm uses four stereo cameras and computer-vision algorithms to profile people in the gallery, calculate their location and add them to a database. The video panoramas are made by analyzing the database and selecting specific groupings of people. Crowds are composed by calculating the relative positions of people in each group and displaying as many as possible without occlusion. The groupings are selected dynamically—typically, one screen always shows the majority demographic, one the minority, another the same group as a person in the gallery, with the other panorama rotating between various dynamically selected demographics.

Whether you like simplicity at its fullest or the intricacy of the designs pattern of kalamkari sarees, one thing is for certain: dresses intrigue you and you love to see what people from all over the world are wearing. Here are some of the most popular dresses from around the world. We shall look at where they come from and what they represent.
This is a popular outfit in China and it is also referred to as the Mandarin gown. It is a beautiful dress and it is long enough to cover one's toes. It has been around since the 1920's when it first was created in Shanghai. It's been quite a long time since then, but the gown is still a popular choice in China. Since its inception it has become a popular choice not only among the high class of citizens but also the middle class.
This is probably one of the most popular costumes worldwide, as many people have heard of the sari. It is a traditional women's wear from India, but not only India. The concept behind the sari is a simplistic as it is effective. It is basically a cloth wrapped around the body, but the different design patterns on it make it a splendor to behold. Aside from India, the Sari is custom in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Burma, Malaysia and Nepal. Of course, the Sari isn't just wrapped around a naked body. Women usually wear a short sleeve blouse underneath it.
The kimono belongs to Japan and is a traditional outfit worn by its people for many years. It has been traditionally worn during events such as weddings and other traditional gatherings. Some of the main characteristics of the kimono are its very large sleeves. While the women do most of the kimono wearing in Japan, it has also been a custom for men to wear it as well, during tea ceremonies and similar events. Even to this day, the kimono is an important element of Japanese tradition, especially during formal and traditional occasions and events.
Traje de Flamenca
Now we jump from Asia back into Europe with the Traje de Flamenca, an outfit traditionally worn by Flamenco dancers. The outfit comes from Spain and it is worn during the Flamenco dance. Usually, you will see this type of outfit decorated with polka dots. Another striking characteristic of the Traje de Flamenca is the abundance of ruffles on both the skirt part of the dress as well as the sleeves. This adds up to the theatrical natura of the flamenco dance and enhances the dancer's performance.
Many countries have made their traditional garbs famous, and these are just a few of them. No matter where you come from, you can appreciate the beauty of these formal and ceremonial dresses which have stood the test of time and have made it through exciting and extended histories.

How to Apply Makeup for a Natural Look
Explore this Article Applying Makeup to Your Face Applying Eye Makeup Applying Makeup to Your Lips Article Summary Video Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 11 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Whether you're just starting to wear makeup or you want to embrace a more subtle look, natural-looking makeup can be pretty and flattering. Even if you've never tried it before, this look is easy to accomplish yourself!
Part 1
Applying Makeup to Your Face
1Clean your face of any previous makeup. Put makeup remover or water on a cotton ball. Dab or rub the cotton ball in small circles to remove old makeup. Determine your skin type and cleanse, tone and moisturize with suitable products twice daily.[1] If you have skin problems like spots/blackheads, exfoliate your skin.
2Moisturize your face. Using a small dab the size of a pea, gently rub in an unscented, oil free lotion. Scented lotions can aggravate your skin and cause breakouts or an allergic reaction, and oily lotions will encourage acne.[2]
- For a more natural look, instead of using foundation, use a tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizers blend in while evening out your skin tone and commonly contain SPF. Those lucky girls with clearer skin will look best using tinted moisturizer.[3]
3Apply concealer to any blemishes and around your eyes. Applying your concealer before foundation helps keep foundation to a minimal amount.[4] Make sure this is the exact same color as your skin. When you apply the concealer, do so directly on the spot and not around it. This is to avoid a halo effect and emphasis of the spot. Optionally set with beige powder.
- Be careful not to overdo it on the concealer; you only need enough to cover the spot.
4Apply a powder foundation on the oilier parts of your face. Before you start, it's best to determine whether or not you're using the right foundation color. Get in a natural light and test the foundation to make sure it's the right color for your skin. Dab a few marks on your cheek and angle your face different ways to see if the color matches.[5]
- Take your finger or a sponge dab in the foundation, and dab it on your face, blending it until it looks like your skin tone. Be sure to go underneath your jaw line; if you stop at the edge of your face, there will be a clear line where the foundation ends, making it look like you're wearing a mask.
- If you have bags or discoloration under your eyes, make 3 dots on the line of the circles under your eyes. Blend it gently using your ring finger.
5Apply Bronzer. Some people wait until after they have applied makeup to their eyes to add bronzer or blush. Bronzer is a great way to give yourself a natural glow. Lightly brush bronzer all over your face (or just along your cheekbones and T-Zone for a natural suntan appearance).[6] However, bronzer can look silly on people with pale skin if applied incorrectly. Practice at home with bronzer to see if it looks good on you before going out with it on. If you don't like the way it looks, skip this step.
6Apply Blush. If you were not happy with bronzer, you can apply blush instead. Crème blush generally works better than powder because it gives you a dewy look and lasts longer. Using a champagne-tinted crème blush, rub a little on your ring finger and blend onto your cheekbones. Note that you should not apply both blush and bronzer; choose one.
Part 2
Applying Eye Makeup
1Line your upper lashline with a brown, black or gray kohl pencil. Some women prefer not to do this, as eyeliner looks a little less natural than an eye with just mascara. Other beauty specialists say to line your eyes with a roasted-colored gel liner. Pencil looks less natural than liquid or gel liner and gel is easier to blend. Line two thirds of your top lashline and one third of your bottom lashline. Smudge the line with a cotton bud.
2Use a white eyeliner to make your eyes look larger. Line the inside corners of your eyes with either white eyeliner or white eyeshadow to give your eyes a brighter look.[7]
- Some people also like to add a bit of white eyeliner or shadow under the brow bone to make their eyes appear brighter and more awake.
3Consider using eyeshadow. Use two shades of eyeshadow for a professional look. The colors you choose should be golds, browns or silvers, depending on your skin tone and coloring. Apply a light, neutral tone all over your lid and just above your crease and use slightly darker to softly line the top lid and outline your crease. For a natural look, remember to blend the colors.[8]
4Curl your lashes and apply one layer of mascara. Curling your eyelashes will give you a bright, awake look. If you want to make your eyelashes stand out against you skin, put on one layer of your favorite mascara.[9]
- If you use mascara, avoid clumping by using a de-clumping brush or an eyebrow brush.
Part 3
Applying Makeup to Your Lips
1Apply a sheer nude lip color. Avoid using chalky lipsticks or shiny lip glosses. Lip stain is generally best because it looks natural and lasts all day. Use a color that's close to your natural lip color.
2Dab a tiny amount of the shimmering blush onto the center of your lips. Test this step out at home before going out with it on--some people do not like the look of blush in the center of your lips. Do what feels (and looks) best to you!
3Enjoy your dewy, fresh, radiant look.
Community Q&A
QuestionI am a 13 year old girl. What kind of makeup should I wear, especially on my eyes?Community AnswerSince you're probably just a beginner, this is a great article to follow! Natural makeup is the best choice for beginners because you can feel comfortable wearing it out rather than a more bold look. Start with one or two shades of eyeshadow, which should be blended. These should be lighter colors, preferably not too sparkly as it can get messy if it's too glittery. Cream is a color that will look good on everyone, and so is light brown. Use a light brown eyeliner that is applied very close to your lash line, and don't attempt anything like a cat eye just yet. Then try lip gloss or a natural pink, coral, or very light orange lipstick or tinted lip balm.
QuestionHow do you keep makeup on while playing sports?Community AnswerUse a primer and a setting spray or powder, or perhaps both. Pick waterproof mascara and eyeliner and avoid wearing heavy makeup that day. Bring your makeup with you for touch ups if you're still worried about it wearing off.
QuestionHow do you know if you are putting on too much makeup?Community AnswerIf you don't look like yourself anymore, then you are certainly wearing way too much makeup. There is no perfect amount of makeup a girl or lady should wear, so perhaps you want to consult another person you trust and ask their advice. A parent, aunt or sister is always a good idea!
QuestionHow is this even called natural makeup when you are putting a lot of products on your face? This seems silly.Community AnswerThe term "natural makeup" refers to how the wearer looks when the makeup is done--like they're not wearing makeup. Some products are optional depending on whether you want or need to wear it or not. The point is that your flaws are covered but you still look natural, so uneven skin tone, blemishes, dark circles and saggy bits are covered but you look natural and fresh.
QuestionHow do you prevent this look from ruining during the day?Community AnswerTry not to touch your face, and keep yourself cool to prevent sweating. Hats providing some shade are a great idea.
QuestionAfter a few hours of wearing foundation it always seems to turn an orange color. Why does it do that and how can i fix it? I've already tried using different primers and moisturizers but nothing ever works.Community AnswerFoundation oxidizes, which means that it can become darker during the day. Find a foundation that states that it won't do this. Look for foundations that are naturally more yellow/orange toned, there are some out there.
QuestionHow do you detect your skin type?Community AnswerIf your forehead and nose--called the T-zone--get oily very easily, you have oily skin. If your T-zone gets oily, but the rest of your face is dry, you have combination skin. And if you don't get overly oily in any place, you have "normal" skin. This mainly corresponds with what you should use to wash your face and care for it correctly, not so much for makeup.
QuestionAt what age can you start wearing makeup?Community AnswerYou can start at any age, but you should ask your parents if it's okay first. Girls typically start wearing makeup in their tween to teen years. However, many people feel that young girls shouldn't wear any or heavy makeup, but that decision is up to you and your parents.
QuestionHow can I make makeup last long?Community AnswerUse a finishing spray after you've applied it. Urban Decay makes a great one that you can get at Ulta.
QuestionHow to make pores look smaller?Community AnswerIt is recommend that you use a professional-grade matte rescue and pore minimizer.
wikiHow Video: How to Apply Makeup for a Natural Look
Article SummaryX
Once you've moisturized, you can create a natural makeup look by applying concealer to any blemishes and under your eyes, then applying powder foundation to the rest of your face. Give yourself a glow by applying bronzer or blush to the roundest parts of your cheeks. If you like, use a brown, black, or gray eyeliner to line just along your top lashes, then use a white eyeliner on the inside corners of your eyes. Finish your eyes by curling your lashes and applying one coat of mascara. Keep reading for tips from our model reviewer on applying natural lip color!
- Don't overdo the makeup! Remember that makeup is meant to enhance your natural features, not to cover them up.
- Make sure you apply makeup in a bright, sunny place so you can see all your features clearly.
- Get a trusted friend to tell you if you've gone overboard with the make-up.
- To make it look as if you have natural eyelashes with mascara, slowly and gently work your way upward.
- Don't wear makeup just too fit in, wear makeup for enhancing small parts of your face.
- Don't let people bring you down about how much make-up you wear. If all you want to use is concealer and mascara, go for it! If you want to cake your make-up, go for it! To pull off your look with make-up, what is important is that you are comfortable with yourself.
- Try to find a colour that is as close as you can get to your skin tone.
- Try to go for a similar colour with blush and lipstick. It will bring out your natural features.
- Using natural makeup is healthier for your skin and can reduce blemishes. In fact, the mineral foundation doesn't clog your pores and is actually good for your skin, so you may want to invest in a good brand, but make sure to put a bit of the makeup on the back of your hand for 48 hours to make sure you are not allergic.[10]
- Relax. Constantly checking a mirror, and fussing over your face can ruin a day. Smile, and have lots of confidence.

A dental PPO, which is a preferred provider organization, offers a unique network feature and typically offers a balance between dentist choice and lower costs. We are a PPO dentist and have agreed to accept contracted fees as a payment in full, instead of our typical rate for patients who don't have the PPO.
When you visit our dental PPO office, you will be expected to pay a specific, set percentage of the reduced rate we are offering. Your PPO plan pays for the rest of the treatment you receive. In most cases, the percentage varies based on the type of coverage you have, such as preventive, diagnostic, major services and others.

Starting from the balcony, into the living room, into the living room, the movie, the children's playroom, the bathroom, the dining room, the master bedroom, the child's bedroom, the kitchen and various other rooms.
Well if you have another open space you can split it for another space that may not have occurred to you, namely Sun Room. This room you can relax with your family while enjoying the sun, of course, this is a healthy way.
This room you can put a chair or maybe a sofa so you can not just sit back and relax while reading or checking the status of social media, you comment on facebook or twitter, or you can check your stock price is rising or not.
You can also make a sunroom by making custom made an addition or change the existing room into a sunroom. The Sunroom can give you a little oasis in your home and help you reduce your heating bills. Here are the best sunroom ideas and design of our collection:
The sunroom is placed behind your house, the house not only provides your family additional living room but also allows you to enjoy your backyard and still protect you from its elements.

Student Support
The YMCA is committed to providing services beyond the classroom education, in order to help them identify and reach their goals. In addition to providing a travel allowance (bus fare for those living outside the immediate area), we have a range of other services that complement our programmes.
Each week a health nurse visits and meets with any students needing assistance with medical, dental, and optical issues. A counsellor is also available weekly to provide mental health and alcohol and drug help. They both help the students address issues that need attention, assist in referring for appointments, and provide a safe place for the students to advocate for their physical and mental health.
The student coordinator takes students to appointments, helps them prepare for more independence (budgeting, food shopping, communicating with others), & as they get closer to completing their education here—transition to the next step (whether that might be work or further education). In this way, we strive to prepare our students to become well-adjusted young adults in the community at the same time they are achieving their goals.

I believe that creativity has the power to heal. Years of near-constant migraine headaches were the reason that I started painting. I am truly thankful to have gone through those years of pain and disability. Without them I would not have found this affinity for living a creative life. I've discovered that art can guide you to lead a fuller life; to live more in the moment; to have deeper connections to the world around you. Relating this message to others is important to me.
As a self-taught artist, I've come about my way of painting through experimentation and by being willing to relinquish control; to see what will happen; to risk ruining what I've worked on for days in an effort to create a more powerful piece. Layers of paint flow and spread into and over one another. Turn, watch, respond. Repeat until the painting itself tells me it is complete.
I am a most unlikely person to have a career as an artist. My past includes a degree in Mathematics and a career in computer programming. Now, in mid-life, I rely on my art to distill meaning and understanding from life's joys and, more often, its challenges. I'm a true example of how its never too late to let Art steal your heart - and renew your soul.
I was so excited about the art workshop - and the donut - that I mis-spelled by own name!

Some exciting news has come out of the SXSW( South by SouthWest event) this morning. It look as though Google may be looking to launch an open SDK for the Android wearable platform. The announcement came up this morning by Google's Sundar Pichai who is the Vice President of Android, Apps , and Google Chrome, who says that the SDK will be ready to go and will get an official Google launch in just two weeks from today. The official statement from Pichai was: -In two weeks we are launching the first developer SDK for Android, that will lay out the vision for developers in how we see this market working.-
Now that we know the SDK is coming, we have to wonder what sort of other confirmations we'll get from Pichai or anyone else at Google regarding the matter. We have already heard rumors that Google will be working LG on the Google Smartwatch, perhaps in the weeks to follow either company will confirm that this is actually the case. Even if it is true, LG may not be the only one to release a smartwatch working off of the Android Wearable OS this year. Since it will be an open SDK fairly shortly, that means that other OEMs will have the chance to work with the software packages to complete a wearable product and release it to the public. Wouldn't it be nice to see an official Google Smartwatch in partnership with LG, and then multiple other wearable products from OEMs like HTC, Motorola, and others as well? Whatever the case, we might at least get to see the rumored Smartwatch that both Google and LG are working on together at this years I/O event in San Francisco. There's only a few short months to go before many of us will be touching down at Google I/O 2014, and excitement is certainly rising to see what Google may have to offer and compete with other OEMs in the wearables space.
We're sure to see some cool things inside the official Google Smartwatch, but arguably what might be more intriguing is the fact that Google is making this SDK open and releasing it to the public for use with OEMs and Third Party Developers. One thing is for sure, it really is going to be an exciting year for the wearables industry.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013
Industry leaders from around the world will convene in Boston, MA for the Knowledge Foundation's 2nd Next Generation Batteries 2013 conference which will take place at the Hilton Boston Back Bay on April 30 – May 1. One of the many anticipated presentations will include M. Grant Norton, PhD, of Washington State University as he presents "Tin Nanoneedles: A Cost Effective, Industry-Scalable Anode Technology for Lithium-ion Batteries"
Presentation Abstract:
"Tin Nanoneedles: A Cost Effective, Industry-Scalable Anode Technology for Lithium-ion Batteries"
M. Grant Norton, PhD, Washington State University
Tin is an attractive anode technology for next generation lithium-ion batteries because of its higher theoretical capacity than graphite. However, there is a large volume change during lithiation/delithiation cycling, which can degrade cell performance. To accommodate the volume change we synthesize the tin in the form of 1-D nanostructures using electroplating. Cell performance shows that these nanostructured tin anodes deliver capacities close to the theoretical value and have cycling stability exceeding most non-carbon-based anodes. Electroplating is a cost effective and industry scalable process to directly form tin nanostructures for lithium-ion battery anodes. Because of the mild synthesis conditions a wide range of substrates, including flexible and wearable materials, can be coated. This presentation will be given by M. Grant Norton, PhD of Washington State University at Next Generation Batteries 2013
Next Generation Batteries 2013 program topics will include:
