OpenOffice by Apache is probably the most similar to Microsoft Office in look and design. It comes with a word processor, a spreadsheet maker, and a presentation creator, all with many of the same features their Office counterparts have. Files are saved as open document format files, so they can be opened with any document viewer, including Office apps, without needing to be converted first. The best part is that OpenOffice is completely free.
Purchase Microsoft Office For Mac
If you're looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office that looks and works pretty much exactly the same, but doesn't cost a dime, OpenOffice is for you.
LibreOffice is an open source productivity suite very similar to Microsoft Office that comes with a word processor, spreadsheet maker, and presentation creator. It also includes a vector graphics editor, a math formula editor, and a database manager. Files are saved as open document format files, so you can open them with any document viewer, including Office apps, without needing to be converted first, though it does provide tools for saving a document as an Office-specific file. LibreOffice is totally free. It is very similar in design to Microsoft Office, with some minor differences in the design.
LibreOffice is a solid replacement for the Office apps and includes some useful extra programs that Office doesn't even have.
Google Docs
Google Docs is the easiest replacement for Microsoft office because it's so accessible. If you have a Gmail account, or a Google Hangouts account, or a YouTube account, you have Google Docs. Just visit the web-based app from your browser and you can create word processor documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. There is a Google Drive app you can download onto Mac so you can work offline. The changes will be made when your Mac is back online. Google Docs doesn't look at all like Microsoft Office, and has a very different user interface, but it does have many of the same, familiar features you know from Office.
The thing that makes Google Docs so useful, however, is it's real-time collaboration, which works seamlessly with multiple users. I've worked alongside a dozen other people in one document. I am able to see where everyone is within the documents and can see exactly when changes are made.
If you're looking for a very easy to use Office replacement that is ideal for working with others in real-time, you'll be pleased with Google Docs.

Any Questions? An Application of Weick's Model of Organizing to Increase Student Involvement in the Large-Lecture Classroom
Ledford, Christy J. W.; Saperstein, Adam K.; Cafferty, Lauren A.; McClintick, Stacey H.; Bernstein, Ethan M.
Communication Teacher, v29 n2 p116-128 2015
Microblogs, with their interactive nature, can engage students in community building and sensemaking. Using Weick's model of organizing as a framework, we integrated the use of micromessaging to increase student engagement in the large-lecture classroom. Students asked significantly more questions and asked a greater diversity of questions when micromessaging was available to them. The microblog format facilitated student-to-student connectedness, where students could post questions to the microblog alongside questions from their peers. This communication strategy provided increased requisite variety to match the equivocal nature of the large-lecture, medical humanities classroom.

Jesus sends Prophets?
Sami Zaatari
Shamoun has come out with a partial ?rebuttal' to some of my arguments made in the following article:
I recommend all readers to visit that article of mine to see the proof that Jesus is NOT God, but rather a messenger, prophet, and the Messiah.
In my article I argued that Jesus just like all other prophet's was sent by God, on top of that I argued that just like all other prophet's Jesus was sent to a specific nation, and that just like all other prophets Jesus was persecuted as they were. Here are the relevent passages:
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Jhn 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
So notice just like other prophets Jesus is a) sent by God b) sent to a specific nation c) persecuted like others.
Shamoun contends that I was taking Matthew 23:37 out of context, because if one were to read it in context, one would read the following, and I quote Shamoun:
This leads us to our next point. Particularly troubling is Zaatari's citation of Matthew 23:37 since he again didn't bother providing the very immediate context to his readers where Jesus says that he actually sends out prophets to the nation!
"Therefore I SEND YOU PROPHETS and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of innocent Abel to the blood of Zechari'ah the son of Barachi'ah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly, I say to you, all this will come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I HAVE GATHERED your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ?Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" Matthew 23:34-39
What is troubling is that Shamoun has a reading comprehension problem, had he bothered to read what I wrote, he would have understood the argument, since he didn't get it the first time, maybe he will get it on try two:
Now this verse does not mention Jesus being sent, however so it mentions other prophets who were sent to Jerusalem for the Jews. What is interesting about this passage is that Jesus mentions the prophets. He mentions prophets who were sent, and mentions prophets who were sent for a specific group of people. What is interesting is that Jesus himself is in the exact similar position, he was sent, and he was sent to a specific group of people hence we see the exact similarity between Jesus and the other prophets. Not only that, but the Jews stoned the other prophets, the Jews also tried to stone Jesus. Hence from this we already have enough proof that Jesus is a prophet, and just like all other prophets Jesus is sent, and sent to a specific group of people.
Now do you get it? My whole point was to show the common similarities between Jesus and the other prophets, to establish my case that Jesus was a prophet, like all other prophets, being sent, and being persecuted.
Now what about the context of Matthew 23:34-49, where Jesus says he will send prophets and wise men and scribes, does this make Jesus divine because he also sends prophets and wise men just like God does? The answer is a simple no, Shamoun has YET AGAIN quoted his Gospels out of context, Shamoun claims I do not bother about context, yet it would be good if he followed his own advice. Had Shamoun followed his own advice then he would learn the following:
-Jesus is given power and authority by God:
John 17:6-8: I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me
Jhn 13:3: Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
Matthew 28:18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power IS GIVEN unto me in heaven and in earth.
So the Gospels make it clear that Jesus is not all powerful, rather the authority and power he does have, is from God, not from himself. Hence when Jesus sends prophets, we know that he does not send them due to a divine authority Jesus has, rather we know that God has BLESSED Jesus and allowed him to have such an authority, it is by God's grace, mercy, and will that Jesus is given such power.
The book of Acts teaches this:
Acts 2:22:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Furthermore, the Gospels teach that before Jesus performed miracles, he would look up to heaven, and he would pray, hence he is asking God for the miracle. For more details visit this link:
So we know that Jesus asks God of these things, we further know that according to the Gospel of John that Jesus is going back to heaven, and will be in God's presence, on his right hand:
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; (john 16:10)
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. (John 16:28)
And also from the Gospel of Mark we are told that Jesus sits at the right hand of God:
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (16:9)
And again in the book of Acts:
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (Acts 2:33)
So let us now put everything together:
-Everything that Jesus has is from God
-This includes the mighty miracles and teachings
-Jesus was given the right and authority to perform mighty deeds, it was a blessing
-Jesus did not own the power; he is not all-mighty
-Jesus would pray and ask God for the miracle before he performed it
-Jesus according to the NT is in heaven in the presence of God
-He is sitting at the right hand of God
One can safely say that since Jesus is in God's presence, he can ask for God to send a messenger, or a prophet, and God will fulfil the request of his blessed servant. If Jesus used to ask of things from God while he was on earth, and would receive them, then why any different in heaven in the very presence of God?
You put all of the above together, which is the context of the Gospels, and the context of Jesus, and you are left with no God man Jesus, you are left with blessed servant prophet Messiah man Jesus!
So much for Shamoun and context.
Shamoun then brings up some silly arguments, which shows his inability to grasp the arguments:
The second problem with Zaatari's statements is that he assumes that since God sent prophets and also sent Jesus this automatically proves that Jesus is a Prophet like the rest. The problem here is that, according to the Holy Bible, God also sent angels and the Holy Spirit from heaven
And what exactly is your point? Did I deny that? I am a Muslim, I believe in angels as well, and I believe that angels including the Holy Spirit Gabriel are sent down by the command of God. So what exactly is Shamoun's point?
Number two, it seems you cannot follow my arguments now can you? My point was just like other prophets Jesus is SENT, AND, get it? AND, the AND part, you see it dont you? good, now follow along, Jesus just like other prophets is SENT by God, just like other prophets he is SENT to a specific people, just like other prophets he is PERESECUTED like them. So my goal is to show Jesus is the same as other prophets, there is nothing special and divine about him, he is like the other prophets.
Shamoun then asks a very silly Q:
how does Zaatari know that Jesus is not a preexistent Angel, perhaps Gabriel, or even the Holy Spirit himself whom God sent from heaven? Why does he assume that since God sent Jesus he must therefore be a prophet when God also sent angels and the Holy Spirit?
These questions are based on Shamoun's inability to grasp the arguments, hence he sadly goes into what is called straw-mans.
First of all, according to BOTH the Bible and the Quran, Jesus is a prophet, hence there is no need for guess-work. Secondly, the argument is not that since Jesus is sent, therefore he is a prophet, this is a straw man. The argument is that Jesus is a prophet from the start, no contention, however so, JUST LIKE OTHER PROPHETS, Jesus is like them in all major aspects, there is nothing unique about him that makes him God, or divine! That is the argument which Shamoun does not seem to get:
Jesus: prophet
Jesus: prophet sent by God
Jesus: sent to a specific nation
Jesus: oppressed by the bad guys
And now:
Prophet: a prophet
Prophet: sent by God
Prophet: sent to a specific nation
Prophet: oppressed by his people
Jesus and other prophets: SAME SAME! Had Jesus been divine, you would have expected him to send himself, rather he did not, and I even argued this in my INITIAL article:
So it is crystal clear that Jesus was sent, HE DID NOT SEND HIMSELF. So JUST LIKE ALL other prophets Jesus is sent, and he is sent to a specific group of people. So this in itself is enough to show that Jesus is indeed a prophet, for prophets are sent by God to do a job just like Jesus said. If Jesus indeed was God he would have sent himself, not let someone send him.
It is Shamoun and his fellow Christians who go on to say that Jesus is more than a prophet, in Shamoun's very own response to me he writes:
no educated and informed Christian denies that Jesus is a Prophet of God. What we deny is that Jesus was nothing more than a Prophet
Exactly, and the aim of the initial article's first point was to show that Jesus was like all other prophets, nothing divine about him, nothing to make you Christians say ?well you see he is more than a prophet' rather what I showed should make you Christians say ?wow, Jesus is like the other prophet's, he is no different, he is no more than that, he is not divine, I have now seen the light!'
Common Shamoun, you know this is the truth, take the Shahada and become a Muslim, and let us go debate and crush down all falsehoods. :)
And Allah Knows Best!
Did Jesus actually send prophets?
Now in the above it has been asserted by Shamoun that Jesus sends prophets according to these passages:
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. (Matthew 23:34-39)
Shamoun asserts that it is Jesus who does the sending, now even if that were true, it still wouldn't make Jesus God as we saw above.
Now the Q we have to ask is this: Does Jesus actually send prophets? Well when one studies the context, the answer is no, rather what Jesus is doing is QUOTING GOD, he is not speaking from himself. This is made quite clear from the following passage:
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. (Luke 11:49-51)
This is the same saying as Matthew 23, yet over here we are told that it is the Wisdom of God that said the following. So in reality Jesus is not speaking from himself, rather he is quoting God, the wisdom of God as he says, and it is quite simple, the wisdom of God is God's word and teachings. Some Christians say that Jesus is the wisdom of God, yet that doesn't make any sense as Jesus refers to the wisdom of God as something separate and distinct from himself, and on top of that Christians say that Jesus is the wisdom of God simply to make it fit with Matthew 23, yet it is the other way round, Matthew 23 fits with Luke 11 and the true context is now given, which is Jesus quoting God.

There haven't been many posts the last few days, but it's not because we haven't been cooking. It's because we've been cooking a lot for friends visiting from Seattle – and I'd rather cook and talk with friends around the table for hours than get up and make a blog post.
Selfish, I know, but… it's all about me, right?!?
The pizza dough is pretty much the recipe I used to make when I worked at Pirro's 40+ years ago, except I use olive oil. It's hard to believe I was hand-spinning pizza back in 1968. Time certainly flies when you're having fun.
Pizza Dough
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (100º to 105º)
- 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 4 cups "00" flour or unbleached all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- olive oil for bowl
Sprinkle yeast over warm water in bowl of mixer fitted with dough hook. Let proof about 5 minutes.
Mix together flour and salt. Add to yeast mixture. Mix on low speed about 4 minutes or until dough forms a coarse ball. Stop mixer and cover bowl with a towel. Let dough rest about 5 minutes, then remove towel and continue mixing another 2 minutes or so.
Lightly oil a large bowl. Form dough into a ball, transfer to bowl and turn to lightly coat with oil. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, then refrigerate overnight.
Punch down dough, re-roll, and return to bowl. Tightly cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Divide dough into 2 pieces; shape pieces into balls and place on a lightly floured work surface. Loosely cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise at warm room temperature until doubled, about 2 hours.
I actually made two pizzas. One with pepperoni, above, and another with sundried tomato pesto that Victor made a while back, and assorted veggies; green and yellow zucchini, red bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms… and both of them were made with fresh buffalo mozzarella and some pecorino romano sprinkled on top.
Homemade pizza and good friends.
It doesn't get much better.

I was thinking about the wonderful pizza dinner we had at your house, came to your blog to get the dough recipe, and imagine my delight in finding here on the page a photo of the very pizza you fed us :). I love your blog – it's one of two 'go to' online resources when I want to know how to do something in the kitchen!
Awww… thanks, so much, Nancy! We did have a great time with you here! We need to get together, again! My niece is getting married in August in Portland… We'll be in the neighborhood… 🙂

Tips for Organizing Your Digital World
Our modern day society is all about digital. Everything is on digital.
Our phones, our computers, our work, our photos, etc.
Everything is digital!
Yet, how organized is your digital world?
Let me ask you this: how organized is your non-digital world? AKA, how organized is your physical space?
Do you have your socks and shirts in the same drawer or are they separated?
Do you have your shoes in a drawer with your kitchen knives?
No? Then why do you have your digital files mix-matched like this?
Clients and people around me have asked me 3 big questions about the organizing our digital space that I want to share with you.
If you want to HEAR more (versus reading), in the YouTube video below, I go through a workshop on this exact topic!
Why Should We Organize Our Digital World?
Let me put it this way:
Have you wanted to wear a specific piece of clothing and could not find it?
OR, have you ever been late and could not find your keys or your phone?
You spent lots of time looking for it right? For example, 30 minutes? An hour? 10 minutes?
No matter how "long" or how "short," This is:
Time wasted.
Money wasted.
Frustration that could have been avoided.
Correct organizational tools can improve time management by 38%!
Crazy huh?
There is a cost to not organizing. Digital information is no different.
With digital work and living is on the rise, more and more people are looking to become digital nomads.
In addition, with COVID, many people are enjoying the remote working atmosphere.
If this is you, if you are looking for the flexibility to work online wherever and whenever, this is the biggest answer to why you need to be organized digitally.
Taking control of files now can help us take control over our lives!
What Digital Things Should We Organize?
Now that we covered WHY you need to organize digital things, let's talk about WHAT should be organized.
Basically, all the places that SHOULD be organized are more places than you think.
The best recommendation is to write a list of all tools and folders and places you use digitally.
Keep this list with you and constantly add to it. Eventually, you will exhaust all the places, but it could take longer than one day.
Here are a few places to start:
Apps (like Canva)
How Should We Organize Our Digital Space?
As I have said with different blog articles and what I tell my clients every session, productivity and organization is about what works for YOU!
I can offer my way of doing things, but this does not mean you have to follow it!
I break my own organization into 3:
1) Naming Convention
2) Searchable
3) Structure
Naming Convention
This is how you name files. Instead of having generic file names such as "Thing for work" you can have:
Project name_version_date_employer
Or whatever makes sense for you!
When was the last time you have seen a digital folder that doesn't have a search function?
They all do!
Add some key words into your file name so it is easy to search later.
For example, if you have a file that is about "productivity for remote working," making sure remote working is in the file name:
That way, when you search, this file will come up for sure.
Next, have a pyramid or structure of your folders, tabs, and bookmarks. I discuss in detail in the video below!
For example, a folder pyramid hierarchy could be as such: Employer → Paystubs → Year 1 / Year 2 / Year 3 → Months
Then, in each month, you have the paystubs from that month and the months are within the years and all the years are under "Paystubs" folder, which is under "Employer" folder.
For the full video workshop, check out the video! I start at about 5:12
Challenge Time:
As always, I leave you with a challenge.
Create a pyramid of folder hierarchy. It can take time, do one pyramid per week or per two weeks. I mentioned this folder example before, but here it is again!
Employer → Paystubs → Year 1 / Year 2 / Year 3 → Months
Then, create these structures in your digital space!
Once your folders are established, then you can look at renaming file names if you so choose!
Schedule a call with me to see how we can further your productivity!

Liquefied natural gas , better known as LNG , has become a volatile issue in Southern California and on the West Coast. But San Diego business leaders are viewing it as a key element in their energy portfolio.
"The topic has gained speed as Chevron, Shell and Sempra have begun to look at LNG prospects and how they can develop facilities," said Mitch Mitchell, the executive vice president of public policy and communications for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. "In the end, these projects will be extremely important to the city, state, region and country."
John Westerman, the chairman of the chamber's energy committee and senior program manager for San Diego-based Science Applications International Corp., said that the chamber is working with a set of guidelines that include diversity of energy resources, market-driven forces, fair pricing for consumers, environmental safety and energy conservation.
"The major issue in San Diego is that we're lacking in a lot of infrastructure that would let us take advantage of the market structure," he said. "The chamber is in favor of any development that supports opening up those markets and providing additional resources in transmission, including LNG. LNG supports another source of supply into the region. If we don't have additional resources, prices will go up."
What exactly is LNG? It's a natural gas that has been cooled below minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit and condensed into a liquid. LNG is unloaded at the receiving terminals and stored until it can be vaporized back into natural gas and moved by pipeline to customers.
Sempra LNG is the new subsidiary of Sempra Global, the umbrella for Sempra Energy's businesses operating in competitive energy markets. Sempra LNG now is developing two LNG terminals, the $700 million Cameron LNG, near Lake Charles, La., and the $600 million Energia Costa Azul, in Baja California, Mexico, with Shell International Gas Limited. Construction on both projects is slated to begin in 2005 with commercial operation expected in 2008. Together, they have the capacity to process 2.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day.
Also in the pipeline are plans for a $600 million LNG receiving terminal near Port Arthur, Texas, on a 3,000-acre parcel that has been owned by Sempra since 1989. The terminal will be capable of processing 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day, according to the company.
"Sempra LNG has committed to covering the infrastructure to get natural gas to the California border," said Doug Kline, director of public relations for Sempra Energy. "Ultimately, it will be up to the California PUC and the state's utilities to determine how that gas will enter California, if it does at all."
Supply And Demand
The question is, does California in particular, or the United States in general, need all of that supply?
Irene M. Stillings, the executive director for the San Diego Regional Energy Office, said, "I believe there is potential for natural gas shortages that could result in extreme price volatility for the West Coast. It's worth looking at all the options."
The SDREO is an independent nonprofit corporation that provides information, research, analysis and long-term planning on energy issues. The group manages more than $30 million in public funds through rebate, incentive and education programs.
On the state level, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been encouraging new energy investments to increase reliable power supplies, while lowering expenses. He's also pushing the utilities to speed up their renewable energy portfolios in order to supply 20 percent of their power needs through renewable energy by 2010.
LNG is likely to play a part in the big picture, according to Claudia Chandler, the assistant executive director for the California Energy Commission. Even after the goal of renewable energy is achieved, she said, other issues must be addressed.
"We need to retire the old power plants that are burning natural gas, and we need to repower and rebuild those old dogs," she said. "They use way too much natural gas, compared to the new plants. Then we need to improve our infrastructure and expand to the degree that it's cost effective, with storage facilities and pipelines. We still might be wise to lock in supplies of cheap gas from the Pacific, and the only way is an LNG terminal. Whether this needs to be in California still needs to be addressed. One or two terminals could help us stabilize our prices."
One terminal, she said, would satisfy from 10 percent to 15 percent of the state's existing natural gas demand, adding, "That would meet our moderate growth of 1 to 2 percent" a year.
Looking at it from a market perspective, Chandler said that natural gas is the preferred fuel for California, and "we are always going to be depending on shipping it from someplace else."
She added: "Drilling has increased, but we are not seeing that much more production. We're always going to be in a tight relationship of supply and price. We here in California need to recognize that the rest of the nation has figured out that natural gas is the preferred fuel. California would love to be an island, but we're not. Natural gas demand is growing in states like Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Washington and Oregon at a much faster pace than in California. That impacts the supply availability in California."
The Western Governors Association said Chandler is now working on a regional forecast for natural gas to better gauge the market.
Build Them If UCAN
Michael Shames, the executive director of the Utility Consumers' Action Network, a San Diego-based consumer watchdog, said he's all in favor of building LNG terminals , as long as private developers foot the bill and don't stick it to utility ratepayers.
"If anyone wants to build an LNG terminal and can pass environmental muster, I invite them to do it, as long as no utility customers are locked into a long-term commitment," he said. "That's the real gotcha. I have yet to see a viable LNG terminal proposal funded unless developers lock in long-term contracts with a utility.
"I don't believe that LNG terminals can be built unless all the risks are shifted to customers," he added. "I desperately want to see private developers take all the risk. If they do, I say, 'Go for it, guys.' But no one would be able to do that. There is no compelling need for LNG terminals."
A more compelling argument in favor of LNG, he said, would be selling it as a hedge against spiking natural gas prices in the future.
"But my argument is, if that were the case, you'd see large industrial customers thinking in terms of hedging, locking in sure prices for the future," said Shames. "You'd think they'd be screaming for the product brought in by terminals, and lined up with contracts."
The fact that they're not, he said, "is the proof of the pudding, and it's revealing and disturbing."
As for Sempra's involvement, Shames said, "Sempra eats, drinks and breathes gas, and I expected them to push for LNG heavily. They've forged alliances with other countries. That is their mantra, their Bible. But it's hard to be sure whether Sempra's self-interest is what California really needs."
Shames said he isn't surprised that the PUC hasn't held a public hearing on the issue.
"If they had hearings, and a lot of questions are raised about the need, this thing would die a slow death," he said.
Kline, the Sempra spokesman, disagreed.
"That gas will only enter the state if it's competitively priced," he said. "There is a whole process for utilities to do resource planning and have competitive bidding for suppliers. LNG is simply another source for the state's utilities, which can only be a good thing."
Said Mitchell: "You're always going to hear the argument of who should bear the cost. In this situation, we're looking at a natural improvement to the infrastructure. This situation will take a mix of everything green energy, fuel cells, we need a portfolio that includes a little bit of everything. We are growing at a rapid pace. Thank God for technology."
On Feb. 15, PUC President Michael Peevey was in Washington, D.C., testifying before a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. At issue is who should have jurisdiction over where LNG terminals are built.
In September, the PUC voted to open the state's energy market to fuel from LNG terminals in Baja California.
Peevey urged Congress to "not pre-empt the states' historic police powers to protect the health and safety of their citizens from any potential hazards from intrastate LNG facilities." He added that the PUC is "confident that sufficient LNG facilities can be safely located and constructed on the West Coast to meet the market's needs."
But Bill Powers, a member of Ratepayers for Affordable Clean Energy, a coalition of environmentalist, human rights and clean energy activists, said that the issue of safety in connection with the LNG terminals has taken on special resonance since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"If someone went after a facility, you could have impacts two or three miles away, depending on what happens," he said. "Risk assessors just can't assume that the worst that can happen is a pipe breaks for 10 minutes."
Said Kline: "Mexico has embraced the idea of having its own natural gas for the first time in the history of Baja California. The company has put this project through a very stringent review process in Mexico, which has its own stringent environmental review process."
Mitchell said he's confident that the safety and environmental issues will be carefully analyzed.
"People are beginning to make claims that we are avoiding environmental oversight," he said, "but I think that the officials in northern Baja have said, 'We will work with you, but you cannot ruin our environment.' Every project will face scrutiny. In the end, these facilities need to meet the needs of a growing population and the business community."
Surfer activists, who have joined the coalition, are especially concerned with Sempra/Shell's Costa Azul site, the largest stretch of undeveloped coastline between Tijuana and Ensenada in Mexico and home to "Harry," a shallow-water "epic backdoor barrel," revered by surfers who say it will be destroyed by the terminal.
"Any major industrial facility has environmental issues," said Kline. "But we have done everything we can to ensure that this project is going to meet the strictest environmental standards. It also will help improve the environment of Baja by providing more clean fuel for use in electricity and industrial generation it uses."
LNG Laments
The Ratepayers for Affordable Clean Energy, on its "LNG: Wrong Choice for California Tour," convened on the City Hall concourse Feb. 15, raising a number of issues. In addition to safety and environmental concerns, the group cited human rights violations in connection with LNG extraction abroad in Russia, Indonesia and Peru; the impact of further dependence on fossil fuels on global warming; and exporting billions overseas to buy LNG when "our state has made a commitment to using these moneys to accelerate energy conservation and renewable energy sources at home."
The group was joined by two members of the San Diego City Council who have asked the PUC to hold evidentiary hearings on whether California should be involved in importing LNG to the state. Open government activist and 6th District City Councilwoman Donna Frye criticized the PUC for its "closed door aura" regarding the LNG issue.
"Where is the public process?" asked Frye. "Why is it that the CPUC refuses to have open sessions on something so important? What are they afraid of? We need an open hearing immediately."
Deputy Mayor and 2nd District Councilman Michael Zucchet criticized the PUC for making "decisions in a vacuum," and said that he was concerned that construction of LNG terminals could seriously hinder efforts to develop renewable energy alternatives.
No public hearings have been scheduled on the subject, according to a PUC spokeswoman, but Peevey, in his remarks to the Senate, said, "The state's hearing process will also provide more transparency of our work so that the public can become better informed and more fully participate in the process."

Endangered Wildlife Trust
The Endangered Wildlife Trust is a South African conservation organisation dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa.
At A Glance
- Programme: Amphibian
- Years Funded: 2020, 2021, 2022
- Ecosystem Focus: Tropical Forest, Grasslands, Mountains
- Geographic Focus: South Africa
- Website: https://ewt.org.za/
The Endangered Wildlife Trust is a South African conservation organisation dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust was founded in 1973 with the vision of a healthy planet and an equitable world that values and sustains the diversity of life. The organisation runs over 80 projects across 12 conservation programmes addressing a diverse range of issues, from African cranes and drylands conservation, to wildlife and transport, and wildlife and energy, as a few examples.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust started its Threatened Amphibian Programme in 2012, and it remains the only South African non-governmental organisation to include amphibians as a specific conservation focus.
South Africa is home to an incredible diversity of amphibians, 30 per cent of which are threatened with extinction. The Threatened Amphibian Programme aims to strategically address the key threats facing southern African amphibian species by using threatened frog species as flagships for habitat conservation.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust aims to use this approach to facilitate habitat restoration and protection, investment in long-term monitoring and the development of national level species conservation action plans, development of ecotourism initiatives, and community engagement with local threatened amphibian species. This contributes to the objectives of the IUCN's Amphibian Conservation Action Plan, a global high-level strategy for amphibian conservation. Crucially, the Endangered Wildlife Trust aims to both elevate the conservation importance of frogs and their associated habitats, and bridge the gap between research and on-the-ground conservation action.
Synchronicity Earth's Amphibian Programme is supporting the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Threatened Amphibian Programme to implement long term monitoring protocols for three threatened amphibians: the Endangered Pickersgill's reed frog (Hyperolius pickersgilli) and kloof frog (Natalobatrachus bonebergi), and the Critically Endangered Table Mountain ghost frog (Heleophryne rosei).
Synchronicity Earth's support will also be used to finalise a conservation action plan for the Table Mountain ghost frog and the Endangered western leopard toad (Sclerophrys pantherine), and to facilitate habitat management, restoration and protection at key sites for amphibian biodiversity. The Endangered Wildlife Trust will also be carrying out awareness and education campaigns at multiple levels, from events for school groups to developing amphibian-focused ecotourism.

Forspoken is an RPG action game by Square Enix, where you get to play Frey as she embarks on a journey across multiple environments. Controlling the character, in this case, Frey, is the key to beating this game. This guide will see the entire list of keybinds and controls for Forspoken for PS5 so that you know how to traverse the world and fight enemies proficiently.
Keybinds and Controls for Forspoken in PS5 or Controller
The game will give you a small tutorial on movement and combat mechanics, but in my opinion, it is not enough since you can do a lot more than the game does not tell you.
These keybinds and precise controls will help you figure out which buttons do what and, in turn, help you enjoy Forspoken properly.
Keybind / Controls | Action / Usage |
L2 | Activate Support Magic |
L1 (Hold) | Change Support Magic |
L2 + R2 | Cast Magic (When Fully Charged) |
R2 | Activate Attack Magic |
R1 (Hold) | Change Attack Magic |
R2 Charge (Hold) + R3 | Focus on Target (Lockon) |
R2 Charge (Hold) + △ | Cancel Lock On |
◯ Hold | Magic Parkour |
X | Jump |
D-PAD UP | Cuff Scan |
D-PAD UP Hold | Cuff Compass |
D-PAD Left and Right | Switch Spell Set |
D-PAD Down | Use Healing Draught |
D-PAD Down Hold | Set Up Camera |
Left Stick | Movement |
Right Stick | Camera Movement |
L3 | Run |
R3 | Camera Lock-On |
Track Pad Press | Open Main Menu |
Options | Open Option Menu |
Track Pad Movement | Switch Spell Set |
These are the roots of the movement, utility, and combat binds for PS5, or should I say, any controller. if you happen to use an XBOX controller or the entire console, similar settings will apply there.
Here are the rest of the settings for reference:
Gameplay Balance Settings
- Difficulty – Preference
- Aim Assist – On (I Keep this one for ease of playing the game)
- Spell-Switching Slowdown – Default (which is Slow)
- Damage Received – Default
- Stamina Recovery Speed – Fast
- Automatically Use Healing Items – Off
- Enemy Knockdown Time – Default
- Automatic Support Spell Switching – Off
- Auto-Evasion – Off
As you can see, the game has made it quite evident that it wants to help you even further in enjoying the game. The choice is yours regarding how much help you want from the game.
Since I could not figure out all of these settings straight out of the game or the tutorial itself, making this guide was necessary for me to help out all players looking for a quick reference.
I hope this will help you figure out Forspoken's binds and controls. Let me know how you are enjoying the game. Thanks for reading, and I will see you with more Forspoken Guides.

Title: Youth Safety Post by: sprintcar39 on December 07, 2010, 10:40:44 AM A Youth Safety conference was held in Indianapolis at the IMIS-INDY trade show and it was very informative. They talked about many important subjects that relate to our kids and safety.
Dr.Terry Trammell was just one of the guest speakers. Items that were discussed: Psychology of the Competitive Young Mind Hearing Protection and Hearing Loss Helmets and Head G's Helmet Testing - Snell Sticker Mild Traumatic Brain Injury - Concussion Head and Neck Supports I will try to post links to some of the information that was presented to us at this meeting. I would encourage everyone to take some time and read through these documents to learn more on how to protect our kids. I learned a lot and will be making some changes to the way Ross and I do things going forward. Here is a great link about concussions that we were given: http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/sports/index.html (http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/sports/index.html) Hearing loss and prevention is going to be the biggest area we work on. More to follow on that subject. This is a open forum and it would be great to keep this information, questions and comments coming to help educate all of the USAC .25 racers and families. Title: Re: Youth Safety Post by: ssssmoke on December 07, 2010, 11:54:49 AM im a firm believer in the head and neck restraint. we watched a video of my sons race and was able to watch it frame by frame in slow motion. we were initially watching the video to see what caused an accident and to see what we could improve on, when we noticed that after being hit on the left rear that his head snapped 90 degrees. it was disturbing to say the least. this accident was what i considered to be minor with no damage to the car. my driver felt no pain and it was not an issue till we watched the video. im not saying it caused any harm to him but it was enough to start being proactive!! lets keep in mind that we need to keep our children not only safe now but keep them from feeling any long term effects.
Title: Re: Youth Safety Post by: CrewChief6 on December 07, 2010, 03:29:20 PM Thanks for sharing the info Eric.
Like ssssmoke's son, my son also suffered a hard hit to the left side during his rookie season. A video showed his head snapping hard to the left on impact. Almost two years later, Isaak still has some minor neck issues. After the incident, we got him into a head-and-neck restraint, plus a seat, and he's been okay through several hard wrecks plus a flip. The best $$$ I ever spent. Title: Re: Youth Safety Post by: lawsonracing on December 07, 2010, 03:31:30 PM was your son wearing any head device?
Title: Re: Youth Safety Post by: CrewChief6 on December 07, 2010, 03:39:22 PM He didn't have a restraint for that first crash when he was a rookie. Now he's using the Hybrid Pro Rage, which also protects him in angular or side impact. He survived a hard sideways impact this year with no injuries.
Title: Re: Youth Safety Post by: IndyQMDad on December 08, 2010, 12:14:33 PM Eric,
Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, I was in Chicago on business and unable to attend myself. I look forward to reading any additional information you learned at the conference. Hats off to everyone involved in making this program available at IMIS. I wrote a little blog about some of the safety related things we see/hear as a safety equipment retailer. Most of it is basic, common sense, but I thought the group may find some value in it. I posted it to our Facebook page for easy access. Check it out if you have a few minutes; http://www.facebook.com/notes/performance-racing-products-inc/tis-always-the-season-to-think-about-safety/110631935674283 Happy Holidays!

Thanks for sharing. :) |

Language issue to be discussed
October 14, 1991
The decision about whether students will use "gender inclusive" guidelines in their writings at NIU might be decided this week in a showdown between members of the Student Association and "gender inclusive" advocates of the Freshman English Committee.
Freshman English Director Robert Self said the issue will be discussed at the committee's open meeting at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Reavis Hall Room 211.
The gender inclusive language would not be stipulations or rules such as those governing plagiarism; they are guidelines, he said.
Self continued to say students' grades would not be lowered, but a student's effectiveness toward a diverse audience could lower their grade.
"The Freshman English Committee is interested in establishing non-bias use of English in the university," he said.
SA President Preston Came disagreed. He said the issue is clearly politically motivated.
The policy would follow guidelines set down in 1971 by the National Council of Teachers of English.
James Norris, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said he believes instructors have a right to implement a section in their courses on non-sexist language.
"Language is a way to convey ideas and offer other ways for people to express themselves," Norris said.
"I assume there isn't any English faculty member who prescribes a way to write," Self said.
"The NCTE guidelines say the National Council of Teachers influence thought and behavior," Came said. "I would say it's an attempt to advance political agenda."

With temperatures passing 90 degrees in the Portland metro area this week, many Oregonians are enjoying the sun and finding ways to stay cool. Four cooling centers opened July 1 to keep elders and people with disabilities safe.
For seniors with their pets, however, escaping the heat poses a special challenge.
That's why the Hollywood Senior Center, at 1820 N.E. 40th Ave., became the only Portland cooling center to allow animals to accompany their owners. The center is open until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2. The pilot project is a collaboration of the senior center and Multnomah County.
Amber Kern Johnson, executive director of the Hollywood Senior Center, acknowledges that many of the older homes in the area don't have air conditioning, which puts seniors at high risk for heat-related illnesses. An average of 658 people in the United States die annually from heat-related illnesses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.
"As you get older it's harder to regulate your body temperature," Kern Johnson says. "So you might not even know that you're suffering from heat stroke until it's really serious."
But many seniors are reluctant to leave their pets behind in a hot house. The senior center provides a meal, opportunities to socialize with peers and activities such as cards games, a nightly movie and books. Organizers hope that by offering a space for animals it will make the center more accessible for seniors who would otherwise stay home and suffer.
The Hollywood Senior Center serves about 200 seniors per day.
"People are very appreciative to have the cooling center," Kern Johnson says. "They often talk about how hot their apartment is and how miserable they are and how nice it is to come to an air-conditioned environment."
Ronnie Jackson, 63, came to the cooling center to escape the heat and enjoy a meal.
"The heat bothers you when you're at this age," he says. "I wish more people would come. It's the coolest spot. If you don't have air conditioning it's rough. I'm enjoying it and encouraging other people to come in."
Pets can also suffer heatstroke. Symptoms can include heavy panting, glazed eyes, increased heart rate, breathing difficulties, thirst, lethargy and dizziness. The Oregon Humane Society recommends that you give your pet plenty of water and shade, not over-exercise them in the heat and not to leave them in the car.
For more information on the closest cooling center, call 2-1-1 (211info.org). You must also call the Hollywood Senior Center (503-288-8303) in advance if you wish to reserve a spot for your small pet, which must be in a carrier. Capacity is limited and availability will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Rules related to pets at the Hollywood Senior Center:
• A spot must be reserved by calling in advance.
• There is a weight restriction of 22 pounds.
• Pets need to arrive in a carrier.
• If the pet needs medications, they must accompany the pet.
• Pets need some sort of identification and proof of current vaccinations.
• Pets will be kept in a separate room where the owners can come and go to visit, but the pets will not be out and about with people (even in their carriers).
• All service animals are always accepted at any cooling center.

Finally, after 3 weeks of continuous usage and testing the various functions of the smartphone, we feel that the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G is a smartphone that deserves our praise for it's performance and features. Performance wise, it is on par with most Snapdragon 865 based smartphones in the market as seen in the benchmarks tested.
In terms of design, I like the curved AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate. Colours looks brilliant and there is no lag at all during our test run. In fact, in our 5G speedtest, the phone still runs warm but it will not drop the 5G connection.
The only complain would be the weight and the thickness of the smartphone. The protruding camera system at the rear is quite annoying as the phone will never be able to rest flat on the desk.
In terms of features, the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G features the 100X Space Zoom and 8K Video Recording as their main selling point. We tested the Zoom (digital) and it turns out to be pretty sharp at 50X, anything beyond that may not be as clear but the visual contours of the object can be easily identified. Moon shots can be taken without a tripod.
In our night shot test, the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G is capable of capturing much more light as compared to the Pixel 3 XL that we commonly reference in our test. In fact, in a pitch dark environment, the amount of light captured on the Samsung gives a better view of the object in the dark. There is less visible noise in the pictures took using night mode as compared to the Pixel.
As for 8K video recording, videos shot tend to be a bit shaky as it records at 24 fps. 4K/60 fps seems pretty fine. The best would be to film at Super Steady 1080p video support at 60 fps if you just need a 1080p recording as you won't need a gimbal for sure.
The S21 Ultra 5G comes with a Dual SIM slot which you can use 2 physical SIM or 1 physical SIM + 1 eSIM (both in active mode). As in most chipsets, it supports a 5G/4G configuration. Thus, if you are using a 4G sim card, it might be better to select 4G for both SIM/eSIM profile.
We tested the 5G on Singtel and also on M1. Both SIM works in 5G mode (e.g Bugis Junction) in supported estates or high density areas which the telco enabled 5G.
This model supports most of the sub 6 bands. Bands N1 and N78 are deployed by the three telcos Singtel. Starhub and M1.
The Samsung S21 Ultra 5G comes with a huge battery at 5000mAh. Unfortunately, Samsung didn't bundle any charger with the phone. You will need to source for your own charger that supports the USB PD 3.0 for Fast charging at 25W. The phone also supports Fast Qi/PMA wireless charging 15W. Reverse wireless charging 4.5W. In general, most 5000 mAh battery should be able to last you more than 1 day of continuous of usage.
In Conclusion, the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G which scores a DXO mark of 121 remains one of the better camera phones out there. With it's high upload speed over 5G, it is definitely a good work phone for anyone who works on the move. You can also use Samsung DEX, pair it with your smart tv and do a presentation with ease.
Priced at S$1498, we find it a bit steep but if you need a functional all in one device, it is well worth it. It is now selling at Qoo10.sg at S$1498.
Pros :
- 120 Hz screen
- 5G NSA/NA bands
- Quad Camera system
- 5000mAh battery
- 8K Video Recording
- Samsung DEX
- Weight 200g
- No charger provided
- No 65W quick charging
- Performance 10
- Design 10
- Features 9
- Usability 9
- Value for money 8
- Score : 9.2 / 10

Key deployments of TD-LTE systems, the backbone of 3G and burgeoning 4G mobile technologies, have recently stalled, both globally and nationally.
In the U.S., the 4G mobile network carrier Clearwire has announced that it may deploy portions of its latest TD-LTE network build. As reported by CED Magazine, the company is delaying the roll-out of 5,000 TD-LTE cell sites for a network that will will eventually overlay 8,000 WiMAX cell sites after the first phase of construction is complete.
Across the oceans, the government of India is also reportedly planning to stall major TD-LTE deployments till 2014, as are other countries in the region, as reported by Telecom Lead. The report cites analysis from TBR saying that "for the remainder of 2012, activity in Asia Pacific region will slow as Japan and South Korea complete their initial LTE builds and China and India stall TD-LTE deployment until at least 2014 due to a variety of political factors."
The report also cites an analyst note from ABI Research which says that "fuelled by investments by Bharti Airtel and Reliance Industries, TD-LTE subscriber adoption in India will reach 5 million by 2013. The telecom research firm said WCDMA and TD-LTE subscriber adoption will eclipse 90 million and 5 million by 2013, respectively."
Also cited in theTelecom Lead report, associated analysis from Parks Associates contends that the Asia Pacific region will lead the 4G LTE market by 2016, with largest gains in South Korea and Japan; and that the Asia and Pacific region will eventually overtake North America in number of 4G/LTE subscribers, with more than 53 percent of 4G/LTE subscribers. Globally, the total number of subscribers to the technology is projected to be over 560 million by 2016.

Will BLACKPINK renew its contract with YG Entertainment? In August of this year, BLACKPINK's exclusive contract with YG Entertainment will come to an end.
On January 19th, NH Investment & Securities predicted BLACKPINK will renew its contract with the label in its analyst report. But according to the new media report by Munhwa Ilbo on January 23rd, it won't be so easy for YG Entertainment as the members are being offered much higher guarantees elsewhere. According to one insider, Lisa is being offered 100 billion KRW to switch labels, which is practically impossible for YG Entertainment to match.
Indeed, BLACKPINK members will not simply move with money if they want to continue using the group name 'BLACKPINK.' But insiders still believe YG Entertainment would have to offer at least 20 billion KRW per member. Some believe YG Entertainment launching Baby Monster is to mitigate the potential failure of closing the renewal deal with BLACKPINK.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK will wrap up its current world tour this June. This will be two months out from the end of the contract, which is why YG Entertainment might feel anxious.
Stay tuned for updates on BLACKPINK.

There Will Be Blood
There Will Be Blood revolves around the early 20th century and the brutal world of oil mining that stars Daniel Day-Lewis in his Oscar winning role as Daniel Planview, an up and coming oil tycoon of the times.
The film brings forth a plethora of human emotions as Daniel Planview is taken on a dark journey as he attempts to make his millions with no consideration for those that cross his path.
At times, There Will Be Blood is historically accurate as it shows the savagery of the early oil days, however there are two true stars of the film which is the story itself and the amazing acting ability of Daniel Day-Lewis as we the viewer are taken into his inner psyche from caring foster father to twisted and deeply disturbed oil tycoon. Compared to the DVD version, There Will Be Blood is far superior on Blu-Ray that is definitely one of the most impressive non-CGI movies at present. The attention to detail is unsurpassed during certain scenes in the movie which compliments the colours and rich levels of black. As with the video quality, the sound is brilliant through our surround sound setup that is a true movie-esq experience. In conclusion, the Blu-Ray version of There Will Be Blood is easily the definitive version for the home viewer. The movie itself is brilliant which can be watched by a variety of people that is one of the most gripping movies that I have watched in some time. Daniel Day-Lewis truly immerses into the character of Daniel Planview and director Paul Thomas Anderson brilliantly links the entire movie together.
Match that with some interesting special features from a documentary to an entertaining behind the scene snippet's and this nicely rounds out the DVD for those wishing to go beyond just the movie. Highly Recommended!

Fashion and travel go hand-in-hand. The novelty of a new city or an unfamiliar environment can stimulate the imagination. Such was the case of Spanish fashion designer Juan Duyos. He marked 25 years on the runway with a collection inspired by a midsummer trip to Estonia.
Duyos's trip to Estonia in June 2022 with model and actress Laura Sánchez provided inspiration for the collection, titled Estonia, which debuted at Madrid Fashion Week in September. Deep green forests and cool blue lakes, delicate summer wildflowers, the timeless traditions of handicrafts, powerful matriarchs, the endless solstice sunlight... all these bits and pieces of Estonia found their way into his designs.
In an interview with El Español, Duyos said, "[The collection] was inspired by Estonia, a trip that blew my mind. It is beautiful. I did something personal, unique, and, above all, emotional. It was a very emotional trip and so beautiful that I said 'this has to be the 25th anniversary'. From there, smells, colors, flavors, feelings... I want it to be more emotional than physical."
Fashion is art, and art is an interpretation of life. Duyos looked at Estonian culture, interpreted timeless traditions, and linked them to contemporary design. Even Estonian fashion journalist Kristina Herodes was surprised at how the Spanish designer interpreted his time in Estonia. In an article for Postimees, Herodes wrote, "His vision of Estonia surprised with its sparkle, lightness, and brightness... surely the time of visiting Estonia — the period before Midsummer when it never gets dark — added to the magical light."
The light colors and floaty fabrics were accompanied by music from Porthishead's 1994 album "Dummy." The choice of music was, perhaps, a nod to the melancholy that can be found in the Estonian soul, even amidst natural beauty.
The designs were brought to life by soloists from the Spanish National Ballet. When asked why he chose dancers rather than models, Duyos responded, "A country as magical as Estonia cannot be presented simply by walking on stage!"
Piret Puppart, Professor of Fashion at the Estonian Academy of Arts, accompanied Duyos on his trip around Estonia.
Here's what Puppart had to say about finding inspiration in Estonia:
"Estonia has two excellent sources of design inspiration that I have introduced to design-minded people over the years — one of them is nature and its organic place in everyday life. We do not have the tallest trees, the longest rivers, the mightiest mountains, but we have a certain way of thinking and relating to it all. The ability to see and comprehend in a different way — this is what makes our presence in nature extraordinary.
Certain superlatives can be highlighted, like what the sky here offers! Especially in summer, when the days don't want to end and the sky paints an unprecedented spectacle over the viewer every time. We tend to forget that there are not many places where the so-called golden hour is not fleeting, but allows you to savor the view for hours.
Another important aspect is tradition is a living culture, not just museum property. Juan Duyos had the opportunity to see folk costumes and their masters actively producing them in the here and now."
This map highlights Duyos's trip. These experiences stuck with him and found their way onto the runway in Madrid. Here's what you should do if you want to find some creative inspiration while you're in Estonia:
Duyos is an avid traveler, and his travels inspire his creations. For example, last year's collection Floating Garden was inspired by Madeira and won best collection at the 2021 Madrid Fashion Week.

Could Curtis Granderson be the next to receive a long-term contract from the Detroit Tigers? According to Jon Paul Morosi, the team has begun talks with their star center fielder on that very subject. Given that neither years or money were reportedly discussed, however, the negotiations are clearly in the very preliminary stage.
Granderson (soon to be 27 years old) won't become a free agent until after the 2011 season, and will be eligible for salary arbitration after 2008. As Morosi points out, if the Tigers follow their pattern of extending the terms of a contract past a player's initial free agent season, they'd currently be looking at a five-year deal with Granderson.
Where would the two sides start? Maybe with the six-year, $31 million deal Troy Tulowitzki signed with the Colorado Rockies last week.
In other Granderson news, Billfer attended his charity hoops game last night in Auburn Hills and came back with photos. Check out Nate Robertson looking like the second coming of Kurt Rambis.

Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson was carted off the field during the first half of the Ravens' December 12 game against the Cleveland Browns, sparking widespread concern about his status for the rest of the season.
Jackson did not return to the game due to an ankle injury, per the Ravens' Twitter account, with backup Tyler Huntley playing the rest of the game at quarterback.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after the game, "Lamar has an ankle sprain. We'll look at it more tomorrow and see where we're at."
Despite being pressed for more details, Harbaugh refused to expand on his comments about Jackson's injury, only reiterating, "We'll see how it responds tomorrow."
Huntley expressed confidence about Jackson's availability in the future, saying "He's just going to be ready to work. They're going to do their tests to make sure he is OK, and he's going to be back."
ESPN's Diana Russini posted a video of Jackson leaving the stadium in a walking boot, reporting that "The Ravens want to see how Lamar Jackson feels tomorrow before any decisions or tests go down."
But a prominent former NFL team doctor offered some "good news" on Jackson's injury based on Russini's video.
David J. Chao, who spent 16 years as the then-San Diego Chargers' head team physician, wrote that Jackson's "very low/short boot" is an encouraging sign for the Ravens.
Chao, an orthopedic sports injury specialist, added that Jackson was "unlikely" to have a high ankle sprain, adding that the Ravens should "expect only [a] short term absence."
Jackson to Undergo Tests
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on the morning of December 13 that Jackson would "have tests on his sprained ankle today."
While Rapoport cautioned that any game-ending injury to a franchise quarterback is a cause for concern, he noted that Jackson sitting in the front of the cart on his way off the field was "not necessarily a bad sign."
"He's going to have more tests today," said Rapoport, adding "It doesn't seem like [the Ravens] are fearing a major injury."
Additional testing will reveal the severity of Jackson's ankle sprain and give the Ravens a better idea of how long, if at all, he will be out.
Huntley Ready to Start for Ravens
Tyler Huntley told media after the game about his initial reaction to Jackson's injury: "I just started getting warmed up and just started becoming aware of the situation."
Huntley added that he was "ready to take on the task," and it's safe to say he delivered, almost pulling off a 18-point comeback in the second half.
The former Utah Ute finished with 270 passing yards and a touchdown, though he lost two crucial fumbles, one of which was returned by the Browns for a touchdown.
Huntley appeared confident in his ability to lead the Ravens offense in future weeks if Jackson is still sidelined, saying, "We just have to go out there and give our highest level of effort. That's what I plan on doing."
Huntley has only started one game in his career, leading a game-winning two-minute drill to beat the Chicago Bears in Week 12, but he could be in line for another start or two this season if Jackson's ankle doesn't improve quickly.
