Where to Start Watching Doctor Who
I was in a meeting with two co-workers today, planning something super secret for August 23rd (spoilers, sweetie!!), when I was asked the question that Whovians love to hear: "I've never seen Doctor Who. Where should I start watching?" I have several answers to that question, and it's about time I laid them out in detail. The Continue Reading →

Residency Programs
Residencies provide students with active engagement in the arts.
Professional teaching artists work with classroom teachers to provide skills-based programming that addresses specific student needs while simultaneously integrating the arts into curriculum objectives in innovative ways.
Individuals, schools, and organizations should schedule residencies at least one month in advance with YAMA. This will permit sufficient time to arrange a planning meeting between your chosen artist and participating teachers to determine goals, activities, and outcomes. Specific residencies conclude with an exhibit or presentation that celebrates the work of the students.
- A typical residency day consists of three to four classes per day, with 20–30 students per workshop.
- Each session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
- Residencies typically last a minimum of five days and can extend for as long as several weeks or months.
- YAMA programming can be tailored to your school's curricular objectives and/or as a complement to your community programs and events.
To plan a residency program, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 617-629-9262 303
"I have a firm belief that teachers are the most important professionals in the school building and that a quality teacher is worth her/his weight in gold.

Bear in mind also that every time you slacken off those intake manifold bolts, Audi recommend you re-tighten the head bolts a quarter turn, and that you only get two quarter turns after the initial install before you have to replace the head bolts. So if you're taking off the intake manifold, replace ALL the seals and gaskets therein while you're doing it! While we're on the subject of oil leaks, anyone have an instinct on where a minor leak on mine may be coming from? Here's the unusual thing - I get a whiff of burning oil after braking. I can't see any obvious leaks around the block, and the dreaded pan gasket was done about a year ago... any idea what would throw oil FORWARD onto something hot? In my experience you usually get a whiff of burning oil on accelleration if there's a leak on the block because it dumps a drop or two of oil back onto the exhaust pipes... but on decelleration, i've never encountered it before...

ST. PAUL, Minn. - A record number of Minnesotans requested, and were issued gun carry permits in 2016.
That statistic was part of an annual report released by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which analyzes data collected from Sheriff's Offices across the state. The report also reflects data collected about those who already hold permits to carry.
Data indicates 73,380 applications to carry a handgun were turned in to counties across the state, and of those 71,156 were granted. Of those permits issued, 8,729 were in Hennepin County, 4,869 were in Anoka County, and 4,705 were granted in Dakota County.
Reporting Sheriff's Offices said a total of 122 permits were suspended for some reason, and 56 were permanently revoked. Individuals who hold carry permits committed 1,495 crimes in MN in 2016, most of them DWI's.
Since the Minnesota Legislature voted in 2003 to implement firearms permit to carry laws, 265,728 permits have been issued to state residents.

Earl Lovelace Drama Analysis
(Critical Edition of Dramatic Literature)
Earl Lovelace's plays are frequently experimental, avoiding straight-line plot exposition and incorporating allegorical elements that signal their deeper relevance. In each play, singing and dancing exemplify traditional cultures resisting change.
Critics have correctly stressed the importance of achieving personhood in Lovelace's work. In every play, characters struggle to discover who they are and to gain individuality, despite the homogenizing pressures of an impersonal urban world. The plays explore the anxieties created by Trinidad's ethnic diversity and deplore the impact of urbanization and modernization on traditional Trinidadian life and culture.
Lovelace's plays clearly reflect the social tensions that divide Trinidad's ethnically varied population. Forty percent of the inhabitants are descended from African slaves imported during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. After emancipation in 1838, the island's plantation economy faced a shortage of labor. In 1845 Great Britain agreed to permit importation of indentured laborers from India—always referred to as East Indians to differentiate them from nearly extinct original West Indians. In the twentieth century, East Indians became approximately equal in number to blacks. Some 18 percent of Trinidadians are of mixed heritage, while 2 percent are of European or Chinese descent. Although East Indians view themselves as culturally superior and maintain their own social and religious customs, blacks consider East Indians socially inferior, and the lightest skinned blacks join Europeans at the top of the social hierarchy.
Lovelace dramatizes the impact of modernization on traditional cultural and social practices. Trinidad's blacks transformed African patterns of singing and dancing into indigenous forms, notably calypso songs and the elaborate festivities of Carnival. However, as sugar plantations declined in importance, Trinidad's population shifted from rural areas to cities. By the end of the twentieth century, nearly three-quarters of the population lived in urban places. Few people had the skills to profit from the growing importance of the oil and petrochemical industries, and many families lived in poverty-stricken slums. The presence of United States troops during World War II introduced Trinidadians to American consumer goods and patterns of consumption. Leading characters in Lovelace's plays strive, with limited success, to maintain African-inflected customs against pressures for change.
My Name Is Village
The central action of the play concerns the struggle of Towntest with Roy Village. As the play begins, the older villagers come home from the fields singing work songs while four unemployed young men practice karate and break into a dance. Several high school girls arrive, joining Roy and his friends, Quickly and Smart, in singing and dancing. Towntest and two Yes Men, echoing everything he says, enter, revealing the urban world of pleasure and progress to the villagers. Towntest's enticements attract Roy. After Roy's father, Cyril Village, praises the beauty of their rural home, Roy rejects Towntest's blandishments. The play ends with everyone singing a hymn celebrating village life. For the first performance of the play in Port of Spain, in September, 1976, Lovelace used a cast consisting of neighbors he...

Two accused of trying to bomb hotel on PSNI day
Two Irishmen have appeared in court on charges of trying to bomb a hotel where a PSNI recruitment drive was to be held.
The defendants, both of them from Co Meath, are Darren Poleon (42) from Drumbaragh in Kells and Brian Walsh (34) from Drumree in Dunslaughlin.
They appeared at a preliminary enquiry at the Magistrate's Court in Derry yesterday, charged with committing terrorist offences linked to the foiled bomb attack on the Waterfoot Hotel in the city's Waterside on October 6, 2015.
The hotel was to have been the venue for a PSNI recruitment day, which was cancelled.
They are charged with possessing an explosive device and explosives with intent and conspiring to cause an explosion. They are also charged with possessing items for use in an act of terrorism.
Both defendants replied "not at this stage" when asked if they had anything to say in answer to the charges.
They were remanded in continuing custody until they are arraigned on a date to be fixed.

Today here is a lot of controversy concerning any investment. Nevertheless, some investors are still putting their money into the once universal currency gold. It remains a popular choice for several reasons.
Investing in gold can help you diversify your personal portfolio and thus lower your investment risk. Gold often moves inversely to the stock market and currency values and is thereby a truly effective diversification tool.
Gold Is Used As An Input In Products
Gold is used in making many things including electronics and jewelry. Hence, there is a reliable demand which somewhat stabilizes its price. When there is a greater demand, the price of gold rises.
Gold Holds Its Value
Gold holds its value over time. Economists state that even if the price of gold decreases, the actual value doesn't change significantly. After all, there is only so much gold because it's a commodity.
Hedge Against Inflation
When inflation kicks in gold goes up in value. Gold is priced in U.S. dollars. If the dollar deteriorates the price of gold rises. Ergo, during times of inflation, gold is actually much more stable than cash.
It's easy to convert gold into cash anywhere across the globe. Other than cash, the universality, and liquidity of gold is unparalleled.
Universally Desired Investment
Gold remains a universal commodity. Unlike gold, securities, currency futures and currency futures around the world are vulnerable to political chaos.
Where Does One Buy Gold?
The U.S. Money Reserve, Inc. has become one of the largest private distributors of U.S. and foreign government-issued gold, silver and platinum legal tender products in the world. Since their beginning in 2001, literally, hundreds of thousands of customers count on them to efficiently diversify their assorted assets with physical precious metals, mainly in the form of U.S. silver and gold coins. The U.S. Money Reserve are said to have a unique and well-trained staff.
Their team includes a number of specialists. Their personnel includes numismatic experts and noteworthy coin researchers. They have up-to-date knowledge of the market and are capable of locating various products that offer investors the highest potential profit for buyers of precious metals at every level. U.S. Money Reserve, Inc. is said by those who know to rise above the industry standard in terms of customer service. Based in Austin, Texas, they strive to create long-term relationships with all their clients.

KAMPALA: EHAHRD-Net CONDEMNS SENTENCING OF ETHIOPIAN JOURNALISTS
Public Statement
EHAHRD-Net Index: ETHIO 017/003/2007 (Public)
17 July 2007
They served their community diligently by exercising their right to freedom of expression as enshrined in both their national Constitution, and regional and international human rights instruments, yet for six journalists, all they could reap for this were jail terms ranging between one year and life imprisonment.
It is with utter dismay that the East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Network (EHAHRD-Net) receives the news about six journalists who were sentenced by the Ethiopian Federal Court on July 16th 2007. Information received from Network sources in Ethiopia indicates that Ethiop Editor, Andualem Ayele; Menilik Editor Zelalem Guebre and Netsanet Editor Abey Gizaw who were both tried in absentia, all have been handed a sentence of life imprisonment. Asqual Editor Wonakseged Zeleke was handed a three year- prison sentence. Meanwhile, Dawit Fassil, Deputy Editor of the now defunct weekly Satenaw, who had initially been found guilty of publishing inaccurate information, was sentenced to 18 months in prison. EHAHRD-Net is yet to establish the sentence handed to the Editor of Abay, Mesfin Tesfaye. The court also imposed heavy fines on the Serkalem, Sisay and Fassil press groups, ordering their disbandment.
The six journalists who have been sentenced were part of the 38 members of the opposition sentenced by the Ethiopian Federal Court, following arrests in November 2005 when the Government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi launched a scathing attack on the opposition and independent media, forcing many into oblivion. The journalists were accused of being part of an opposition conspiracy to overthrow the constitutional order, impairment of the defensive power of the State, and attempted genocide following the publication of editorials critical of the Governments conduct during the May 2005 General Elections.
The acquittal of eight journalists in April this year had acted as a glimmer of hope that their colleagues too would receive fair judgment, but sadly this hope is now gone.
The sentencing of journalists in Ethiopia is a clear manifestation of Prime Minister Meles Zenawis continued effort to deny the Ethiopian people their right to freedom of expression and information. As a Network, we are convinced that these journalists engaged in legitimate work of gathering and disseminating information at the time of their arrest, and therefore, feel that their sentencing is grossly unfair and a violation of international law, says Hassan Shire Sheikh, Chairperson EHAHRDP/Net.
All this is happening despite the Ethiopian Governments pledge to uphold media freedom as manifested in Article 29 of the Constitution that provides for the Right to Hold Opinions, Thoughts and Free Expressions without interference. This right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through other media of his choice
According to the judgment passed yesterday, 30 opposition members (including three journalists) are to serve a life term in prison, six (including 1 journalist) were handed a prison term of 15 to 18 years while two journalists shall serve 1 to 3 years in prison.
- The East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Network appeals to the Ethiopian Federal Government to revisit the courts decision and ensure the release of the journalists.
- EHAHRD-Net also urges the Ethiopian Federal Government to introduce legal reforms in line with international standards by removing all criminal sanctions for press offenses such as defamation, insulting the government, and publishing false information.
- We further urge the Ethiopian Government to allow the private media houses previously shut down to operate normally, keeping in mind that a free media is the only way through which the people of Ethiopia shall be able to enjoy democracy.
- The Ethiopian Government must respect freedom of the media as enshrined not only in its own Constitution, but also in regional and international human rights instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which Ethiopia is signatory.
All Network members across the sub-region and the entire international community should add their voices to this call to ensure compliance by the Ethiopian Government.

Why Cavities Treatment is Important
Mostly individuals have to face cavities between their teeth. They can be from their birth or produce later in life. Usually, sheer negligence is exhibited by the sufferers. They think them useless to care about and dislodge food particles by simple toothpicks. This may do nothing in short run but in long run consequences cannot be avoided. Dentists are more likely to face any case in emergency due to intense cavity issues. Teeth damage, tooth decay, tooth loss and tooth demineralization, all are the problems that are followed by the cavities in the teeth. Usually by birth sufferers think that cavities are not easy to cure. This is not the actual case. After all, what they require is to replenish their calcium need.
Precautions for Treatment of Major Dental Problems
Prevention is better than cure. This fits best on dental care. Almost major reason for all the problems that occur is attributed to deposited food layer on the teeth which is not removed properly. Apart from this every problem has its own way of cure and prevention.
Following are the most common dental complications.
- Molar Pain
Molar teeth are the most used of all the 32 teeth. Almost every person has to see dentist because of these at least once in life. The problem due to them is suffered because brushing is not done properly. It is also seen that individuals carefully brush front teeth and forget to reach the molar teeth. The food particles that accumulate there become very difficult to dislodge. Still, there are cases that unavoidable in case of instant care too. Like wisdom toot appearance in late teenage or pain due to constant moving in late old age.
- Curing Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the disease of gums at initial stage. This can lead to many complications if not cured properly. Intense swelling in gums can lead to headache etc too.. A lot of precautionary measures are needed to be taken for curing this disease. This is because patient has to choose very selective diet. Further, later stage is too dangerous and it makes it difficult for person to brush even.
- Implanting New Teeth
New teeth implantation can be as a result of teeth surgery or to recover a tooth loss too. Despite of too much care tooth loss can never be avoided. This is because it is a natural process. Usually the broken tooth is repaired by filling. Filling does not work in all the cases. Here, replacement of worn out tooth with entirely new becomes inevitable. Entire set of teeth is implanted for cosmetic surgery too. Here, process of veneer is also used. In many cases complete new teeth are not implanted only enamel is replaced. Enamel is always replaced for beauty purposes and bringing shin on teeth.
- Caring for Teeth Sensitivity
Teeth sensitivity can arise due to multiple reasons. Braced teeth are much sensitive they are supposed to strongly feel the heat and cold etc. This can also happen as a result of filling or damage of teeth. In this case dentist can recommend change of toothpaste. This is very delicate issue and must be dealt with care. Following the prescription of dentists becomes much necessary here; otherwise it can interfere with eating habits of any individual.
Despite of taking all the care, tooth complications can never be avoided. Perhaps, it is very natural to avoid these. What can be done is to choose the right dentist for maintaining sound health of oral cavity. This is important not only for aesthetic appearance but also for overall health of human body which is much related to tooth hygiene. Emergency Dentist Missouri city TX provides its services by taking into consideration all the related complications of patient for better cure.

Why did the author of the story "The Lady or the Tiger?" write the story?
- print Print
- list Cite
What you have asked is the golden question! Why did Frank Stockton write the short story "The Lady or the Tiger?"
Many may find, after reading the story, that Stockton wanted to simply anger his readers. While some may find that this is the answer, given the story ends without closure for the reader, one can only imagine what he purpose was.
Given that Stockton never tried to sway the reader in any given direction, one could assume that the purpose of the story was to create great debate and conversation.
Stockton actually received so much negative criticism regarding the story with no ending that he wrote "The Discourager of Hesitancy" to tie up any concerns that readers had regarding the outcome of the young lovers fate.
In the end, an actual reason behind author intent may never be found. Instead, what one gets when pondering the question is the same answer one gets with reading Stockton's story- no true closure.

A Manitoba woman is surprised to have a rose — not a ticket — after she was pulled over by police on Sunday for a burnt-out light on her car.
Laurie Burbine, who lives in Lorette, was driving home from her son's hockey game when she was pulled over in Ste. Anne for a headlight that wasn't working.
Burbine said her husband had promised to fix the light, but didn't get around to it by the time they were stopped by police.
An officer approached her vehicle, asking for her licence and registration.
"I figured the ticket would be at least $100 or more," Burbine said on Monday, noting she hasn't had a ticket in 25 years.
But rather than coming back with a piece of paper that outlined a fine, the officer came back with a rose and a valentine, which he had addressed to the Burbines.
'Happy Valentine's Day from the Ste. Anne police. P.S. Fix the head light,' it reads.
"I was shocked," Burbine said.
"I thought, 'Who does that?' What an awesome thing to do. It made my day. It was just such a nice gesture … I couldn't believe that a police officer was randomly handing out valentine roses and cards."
Const. Kyle Isenor with the Ste. Anne Police Department pulled Burbine over to give her the card and rose.
He got the idea from a popular YouTube video from the U.S. that showed police officers pulling people over at Christmas time to give them gifts.
The rose turned out to be the only flower Burbine got on Valentine's Day.
"My husband is away so that was nice," she said, calling what happened "extra special."
"I told him we were at my son's hockey game when he handed me the flower and the card he said, 'By the way, I chose a hockey card because you said you were at a hockey game."
Burbine said the gesture reminded her that she should not be afraid of police.
"I've never seen him or heard anything like this before, so good on him," she said, referring to the officer. "I think a lot of time people get the wrong idea of police."

Interra: Drilling Begins on Indonesia Infill Well
Interra Resources Limited on Monday announced that the operator of the Tanjung Miring Timur (TMT) oil field in Indonesia has commenced drilling an infill well.
Interra owns a 70% interest in the TMT Technical Assistance Contract ("TAC"). The TMT oil field is onshore and is located in South Sumatra. The owner of the remaining 30% and operator of the field is PT Retco Prima Energi.
Well TMT-48 is part of a 3-well infill development program that is anticipated to be completed in mid 2007. The drilling is being conducted by an external drilling contractor. The total cost of the 3 wells as completed producers is estimated to be US$3.7 million. Interra will be accountable for a 70% share of this cost (US$2.6 million) and this will be funded from existing funds on hand.
TMT is currently producing in excess of 700 barrels of oil per day from approximately 28 wells. Production is from multiple zones within two formations – the deeper Talang Akar ("TAF") sandstones and the overlying Baturaja ("BRF") limestones. Most of the producing reservoirs are the sandstones of the TAF and these will be the primary objective. Technical analysis of geologic, geophysical and engineering data has revealed that there exist several areas in which oil is not being efficiently drained by current producing wells. Three of the most prospective areas have been delineated and the optimum location has been sited for each.
Well TMT-48 will be drilled in a structural high position and on the upthrown side of a fault to two wells which on a combined basis have produced over 400,000 barrels of oil from the TAF reservoir. In addition to the secondary objectives within the BRF, potential shallow gas producing zones will also be evaluated by this well. The well is planned to be drilled to approximately 1,160 meters.
Interra estimates that the results of the infill drilling should be available in approximately two months' time. The Company will announce the results of the drilling operation as soon as they may be ascertained, together with the next well in the development drilling program.
Interra Resources Limited is a Singapore listed company engaged in the business of
upstream petroleum exploration and production whose E&P activities include
petroleum production, field development and low-risk exploration through strategic alliances and partnerships. Interra is positioning itself to become a leading regional independent producer of oil and gas.

10 Quick Headache Cures
Both ice and caffeine are vasoconstrictors, meaning they'll help the throbbing vessels in your head shrink down and may provide fast relief. (Sometimes people who drink caffeinated beverages regularly get a withdrawal headache when they drink less than their usual amount, so this remedy can be especially helpful to those folks, too!)
2. Remove your head gear
If you're wearing a hat, headband, helmet, ponytail holder -- even goggles or sunglasses -- try taking them off (when it's safe to do so, of course). Tight accessories can cause something called external compression headaches, which are more common in people who have migraines. Simply removing the offending gear is the best remedy.
3. Try acupressure and massage
Applying pressure to the acupressure point in the webbing between your thumb and index finger may be helpful in easing the pain of a headache. Gently pressing the back of your neck with three fingers on each side can also help provide relief.
4. Grab an ice pack
Applying an ice pack to the back of your neck has been shown to ease the pain of a migraine.
5. Drink some water
A common symptom of dehydration is a headache. Drinking water can often provide the only relief you need.
6. Get some sleep
Lying down in a dark, quiet room is the best remedy for many migraine patients. Noise, bright lights, and odors can make a migraine episode much worse.
7. Practice relaxation
Meditation, yoga, and biofeedback can help to ease tension headaches and prevent headaches triggered by stress. (One quick trick is to relax your jaw and take a few deep breaths. A clenched jaw can be a headache trigger!)
8. Try aromatherapy
Some studies have shown that peppermint oil may be as powerful as over-the-counter pain relievers in the treatment of tension headaches. Try dabbing a little on your temples and the back of your neck. (Eucalyptus oil is another popular remedy, but studies have found it less effective.)
9. Take over-the-counter (OTC) drugs
Aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and naproxen can all be helpful in treating a headache, especially when taken early. (Read labels carefully: Many OTC medications have "migraine" versions that are suprisingly no different in their formulations. Don't pay extra for different packaging when you may already have these drugs at home.)
10. Get a prescription
Prescription headache medications usually fall into three classes: abortive drugs, which are used to stop a headache once it begins; preventive drugs, which are used to prevent a headache from happening; pain relievers, which are used to minimize the pain of a headache but do not actually stop it. (Pain relievers are often all that is needed for tension headaches.)

Sleep: For Restoring Tired Body and Mind
Loss of sleep exerts seriously detrimental effects upon the nervous system. Long periods of wakefulness may cause profound psychological changes such as loss of memory, irritability, hallucination and even schizophrenic manifestations.
Sleeping well is an art. It needs a perfect blend of healthy habits and control of mind. A Clean body and mind, relaxed mood, physical exercises, and perfect dietary control are some basic sleep-inducing methods.
Unpleasant situations at bed time such as arguments, quarrels, watching a horror movie, listening to loud music which would create anxiety, ear, excitement and worries should be avoided. Such situations stimulate the cerebral cortex and tend to keep one awake. The bedroom should be well ventilated, with balanced temperature and free from noises. Eating heavily before sleep is not advisable for getting sound sleep.

Arthritis Supplements Fight Arthritis Pain
Any good discussion of arthritis supplements needs to begin with more knowledge about the disease itself. Arthritis is a severe disease which mostly afflicts older adults causing them unbearable pain and degeneration in joints. Other symptoms include excessive stiffness and swelling around the affected joints. Patients feel a great deal of pain when the joint is used.
You might find it strange, but changes in the weather can bring about changes in arthritis symptoms. For instance, when it starts to rain or if the temperature suddenly changes drastically to very hot or very cold, pain and swelling will become much more severe. Sometimes you will find the area around the affected joint to be very painful and red. In its most severe forms, arthritis can cause damage to both bones and joints.
Older Americans are most likely to suffer from osteoarthritis which is brought on by years of wear on the cartilage which cushions the joints. You may find that arthritis supplements improve the pain in the joints. They may also help joints regain a bit of their mobility.
Gout is one of the most painful types of arthritis out there. A person with gout experiences exceedingly painful joints where high concentrations of uric acid have settled. Severe gout may also manifest itself as a huge swelling in the joint area. Actually, this "swelling" is caused by a solid build-up called tophi in the joint and can only be removed surgically.
Patients with Rheumatoid arthritis are actually living with an internal civil war raging inside them. When the wiring in the immune system gets crossed, it will start seeing various body parts, such as the joints, the eyes, the lungs, and the heart, as its enemies. It then attacks them causing excruciating pain and swelling. Patients who suffer from RA lose the ability to live a normal life because of the pain.
On and beyond the types of arthritis we have discussed, there are many more different strains in the world. Some of these include:
• Jaw arthritis - similar to osteoarthritis, but settles in the jaw joint.
• Ankylosing spondylitis - inflammation of the spinal cord and related joints.
• Psoriatic arthritis - occurs in 5-10% of psoriasis patients. May first appear years after the first psoriasis diagnosis.
• Reactive arthritis - inflammation in the joints, skin, eyes, bladder, genitals, and mucus membranes. It is thought to occur as a "reaction" to some other type of infection.
Many arthritis patients take NSAIDS (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and DMARDS (Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs) which work together as an effective treatment for pain and swelling. In addition, the colloidal elements, gold and silver, have been used on more severe cases of the disease and have caused a great deal of improvement in the quality of life of the patients who are on them.
Even though they aren't medications there are real benefits to taking arthritis supplements. They have been proven to strengthen the immune system so that it's able to continue to fight disease. They significantly reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness, and they speed up the healing process. If you find that they aren't doing the job for you, talk to your doctor about getting on a stronger, prescription medication.

Stop the hunt!
October 2017
Partial succes for Stop The Hunt
The new Provincial government in British Columbia has stopped the trophy hunting of grizzly bears after the fall 2017 hunt season. Unfortunatley while the Great Bear Rainforest, where Knight Inlet Lodge resides, is covered by the hunting ban not all of British Columbia is. There are also loopholes for "meat" hunting of grizzlies that needs to be eliminated. We will not stop until ALL grizzly bear hunitng is banned in all of British Columbia.
Background to the "stop the hunt" campaign
In December 1999, 68 professional biologists submitted a strongly worded petition to government calling for a moratorium on all grizzly bear hunting pending completion of comprehensive population studies in the Province's six bioregions. The estimate by the Ministry of Environment that there are 10,000-13,000 grizzly bears in the province is highly questionable. Just twenty years ago the official estimate stood at 6,000 - 7,000. In a comprehensive scientific review of the province's Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy, wildlife scientists Dr. Brian Horejsi, Dr. Barrie Gilbert and Dr. Lance Craighead stated that "Grizzly population estimates in BC have been consistently over-estimated."
As one of the planet's premier places to view wild grizzlies in their natural habitat, Knight Inlet Lodge is committed to stopping the trophy harvest of these special animals. As a founding member of the Commercial Bear Viewing Association of BC, we have proven that, beyond the important ethical arguments against trophy hunting, grizzly bears are worth far more to the province alive in the forest than as a hunter's prize.
Most recently we have committed to a financial settlement with the local guide-outfitter to pay for his bear tags - i.e., paying them not to hunt.

Unanswered Prayers
Know the lyrics by heart
I - Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't know but think of
The way things used to be
II - She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I've spend praying that God would make her mine
And if He'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God for an unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin'to the man upstairs
(It's just/That just) because He doesn't answer doesn't mean He don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
III - She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell the time she changed me and her eyes too it seem
We tried to talk about the old days, there wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what He's doin' after all.
IV - And as she walk away, well I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the Good Lord
For the gifts in my life
(Repeat Refrain)
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered
Some of God's greatest gifts, are all too often unanswered
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
This country song is popularized by the US # 1 country artist Garth Brooks and it hit my heart.
Whenever our ship loads or discharges cargo in the US port, I always go the music store in order to check albums by Mr. Brooks. I like almost all his songs and the group of songwriters who made him so popular and this song that became his unofficial signature song whenever he tours the states of his country and the world.
Lessons learned
In this world of too much materialism, we always want our prayers to be answered. We didn't know that those prayers that were not answered through tangible things are the ones answered by God in silence. We often ignore His call but deep in our hearts, those prayers are already answered .
We are not satisfied of what we have. We continue searching for the best, but the very best is already standing infront of us, our family. Misunderstanding among family members are but normal. We can always depend in our brothers or sisters as long as we will not abuse their kindness.
How about you, fellow hubbers? What's the song that affects you most whenever you hear it. There are many songs that are repeatedly played on the radio or we've seen the videos on television, but there are songs that really touched our hearts or emotions.
You can also share it with this hub. Or you can even sing it by yourself.

There's an old rule of thumb when it comes to perfect bike handling skills: no matter what condition the track is in, there's a time to sit and there's a time to stand. Finding the correct combination of these two body positions on your bike isn't always easy, but once you do your speed will reach a completely new level.
Most MXperts will advise that for the majority of circumstances, sitting in corners with a single leg out for balance and stability combined with a standing, crouching attack position on rough straights is the best technique, but Ryan Hughes is here to tell you that there are certain situations when you need to break these age-old rules. Rough, sandy tracks with huge holes in the exits of the corners call for a completely different procedure than most. The reason? If you're sitting rather than standing while entering colossal sand whoops, your bike will transform from a smooth-handling, technological marvel to a 10-buck pogo stick quicker than Big E can throw back an all-chicken burrito from Miguel's.
The right-hand turn pictured here followed a long, bumpy downhill and preceded an extremely rough sand straight with two huge, curb-sized bumps right at the entrance. By keeping both of his feet on the footpegs through the corner and using his polished throttle and clutch skills, Hughes saved a ton of energy through the section but still maintained his blazing speed, all the while being set up perfectly for the next section of rough bumps. Here's how he did it...
"Directly out of this corner sat two huge bumps, so I knew I needed to be standing at the exit. Because the corner is slightly less than 90 degrees and is fairly fast, I was able to stand up through it without any balancing trouble. Most of the riders I saw this day were sitting down in the middle of the turn, putting their leg out, then trying to get back to the attack position before the big bumps. This takes far too much time and energy. It's much easier to enter standing, crouch down or even sit down if you have to, and be able to be back into a standing position without having to worry about getting your other foot back on the bike. It makes for one quick, easy movement rather than several.
"I enter the corner just a tad slower than I would if I were planning on sitting, but I'll make up for it at the exit. I come in slightly crouched, but looking forward and ready to attack. Once you're in and committed, keep your balance and control the bike by squeezing the bike hard with your legs, or more specifically your knees."
"Another important thing to remember in a corner like this is to stay on the balls of your feet. The combination of that with the bending of your knees will act like additional suspension when you hit the first whoop and will also let you move back or forward on the bike as needed.
"As you round the corner, you'll begin to make your transition to a full attack position. This is where keeping your feet on the pegs comes in handy. Stand up, and at the same time give your bike a quick clutch stab and some additional throttle. This will bring your front wheel up, which is exactly where it should be to handle the approaching sand bumps. I oftentimes use both the power of the bike and the first small bump out of the corner to get me up into my attack position. As always, don't forget to look ahead."

We are thrilled to welcome Mind Over Mirrors, the singularly arresting musical project of Jaime Fennelly, to the Paradise of Bachelors roster. We've long admired Jaime's evolving music—we penned various notes and texts for his last two releases—and we were particularly impressed with how 2015's masterful The Voice Calling, acclaimed by NPR as "an out-of-body experience," elevated his practice to a new plane.

Mind Over Mirrors, the evolving project of Jaime Fennelly, deploys modest acoustic constituent materials—an Indian pedal harmonium and the human voice—to produce roiling, meditative music that both simulates the swells and troughs of synthesized electronics and conjures the ceaseless rhythms of tidal surges. While we can point out referential sonic compass points—G.I. Gurdjieff's harmonium improvisations; certain particularly harmonically viscous recordings of Sacred Harp singers; Edward Artemiev's soundtracks to Tarkovsky films—in its prayerful patience, its simultaneously formal and folk aspects, and its unabashed (if intermittently anxious) beauty, it doesn't sound much like anything else being made today. There is an easy, and unusual, confluence of praise and play at work in Jaime's music that catalyzes heady reverie. This sense of simultaneity, of braided traditions, recalls Henry Flynt's fusion of Appalachian traditions with avant-garde tactics, an acknowledged influence.
Fennelly buttresses his simple harmonium foundation with an assortment of oscillators, tape delays, and synthesizing processors that belong to the world of classic analog electronic composition. The choice of the harmonium—a 19th-century pump and pedal-operated reed keyboard instrument that once featured prominently in North Indian and European classical and religious canons as well as the vernacular music of Scandinavia, the American South, and seagoing vessels—is significant for its historical, cultural, and folkloric associations as much the self-imposed compositional or technological limitations. But make no mistake—despite the academic and abstract valences, Mind Over Mirrors is body music. In live performance, Jaime's feet are constantly pumping the harmonium's pedals, and the music's essential corporeality (in the sense of Harry Partch's designation of "corporeal music") has fostered a close collaborative relationship with acclaimed choreographer and dancer Miguel Gutierrez since 2001.
Though Fennelly now resides in Chicago, Mind Over Mirrors emerged during a three-year period during 2007-2010 while he was living on a remote island in the Salish Sea of Washington State. Since then, he has released recordings on Immune as well as Digitalis, Hands In the Dark, and Aguirre/Gift Tapes. In the early 2000's, Fennelly co-founded the iconoclastic group Peeesseye (with guitarist and fellow PoB artist Chris Forsyth and drummer/visual artist Fritz Welch) in Brooklyn. While Mind Over Mirrors emerged along a decidedly solo axis, in 2014 Haley Fohr of Circuit des Yeux began accompanying him on select recordings and performances, supplementing his solitary reeling and gorgeous, woozy speechlessness with her incantatory singing and contributing a new textual dimension with her occasional, elliptical lyrics.
Working together, Fennelly and Fohr created The Voice Calling (2015), another masterful and singular Mind Over Mirrors album—as challenging and enveloping as ever, but achieving a more immediate emotional and psychological register—that garnered new audiences and earned rapturous praise from the likes of Pitchfork, SPIN, Impose, BOMB, and NPR, who described it as "an out-of-body experience." The music of Mind Over Music has always been humane, but now it is also resolutely human—seeking, speaking.
In 2017 Paradise of Bachelors will release a new album by Mind Over Mirrors.

"Very rapidly Dyson has evolved into a technology push organization, that progressively tries to create solutions without insight in order to justify the technology or IP they happen to own", opined Mat Shore, Owner of Outside in – Innovation Consultancy and author of The 7 Deadly Sins of Innovation, in his recent blog post.
I agree. Dyson has evolved from insight-driven to technology-driven. Dyson turned the vacuum cleaner industry on its ear with the phenomenally successful bagless vac that he developed to address a consumer problem. No such consumer insight informed the development of the bladeless fan that was introduced in 2009 and has had limited success. Now the company is entering the hair dryer product category using the same technology-driven approach that they used to develop the bladeless fan. Is this genius or a colossal mistake?
Dyson's evolution from insight-driven to technology-driven
Consumer insight drove the development of the DC01 Vacuum Cleaner, the first-ever bagless vacuum cleaner. Dyson identified a problem: Traditional vacuum cleaners "stop picking up dirt and dust when the bag gets full." And came up with a solution: The Dyson bagless vacuum cleaner that "never loses suction."
Consumer insight did not drive the development of the Air Multiplier, the first-ever bladeless desktop fan. Dyson said that the reason they developed the bladeless fan was because fans had "hardly changed since 1890".
According to Shore, "We can begin to see how the insight step of the Dyson approach is becoming side-lined in favor of the technology push. … The resulting sales figures for the fans vs the vacuum cleaners tell the true story of how technology push without insight plays out in real market conditions."
This year, Dyson is introducing the Supersonic hair dryer, the first-ever hair dryer with a digital motor in the handle.
Now, according to Shore, Dyson's evolution from consumer-insight-driven to technology-driven has "reached its pinnacle with the development of the Dyson hairdryer."
What's wrong with being technology-driven?
"Being technology-driven is a risky approach to delivering products", wrote Gabriel Steinhardt, Author and CEO of Blackbot, in "Who's driving your company?". According to Steinhardt, "Adopting a technology-driven posture has, over time, proven low growth potential due to failure to implement proper marketing activities and because of the isolated manner in which products are managed. Many technology-driven products are characterized by having complex features or unnecessary features, and some technology-driven products are realistically unneeded."
In other words, many technology-driven products do not fulfill an unrealized consumer need or solve an unmet consumer problem.
Why did the Air Multiplier fail?
The Air Multiplier failed because it did not solve a problem that was important to consumers. According to the company's "how it works" video, the Dyson bladeless fan eliminates the "annoying buffeting" caused by "spinning blades chopping the air." Is buffeting really so annoying that consumers would be willing to spend a huge premium for a fan that eliminated it, especially when, as Dyson himself said in the video, "It's only when you turn it off that you realize how unsettling it's been'? Given the limited success of the Air Multiplier, the answer to that question appears to be "no."
Consumers don't buy technology; they buy solutions to problems. If consumers don't think a product will solve a problem for them, it is highly unlikely they will purchase it. (CLICK HERE to learn more about the relationship between need and purchase interest.)
What problem does the Supersonic Hair Dryer solve?
Does the Supersonic hair dryer solve a problem that is important to consumers? A problem no other hair dryer can solve? A problem that consumers will be willing to pay a huge premium for?
It's too soon to tell. The Supersonic hair dryer does not hit the U.S. market until Fall. However, we can get an early read from the bloggers and journalists who tested the product earlier this year.
Courtney Jespersen at NerdWallet.com: "If hair care is one of your top beauty priorities — and you have some extra cash to spare — this dryer may soon be your most coveted accessory. … If you don't care about having the lushest locks in the land, we'd recommend sticking with something more traditional and affordable. For many hair types, standard dryers will do the trick for a fraction of the price."
Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson at News Corp Australia Network: "There is a lot of technology inside Dyson's "Tesla of hair dryers," and a lot of hype around it, but does it produce better results than another hair dryer? After using it for a week, I'm confident it does. … Are its results better? Absolutely. Are they worth $700 to you? Only you can tell."
Blogger Rosemary McCabe: "Will it change your life? Probably not – I'm not an insane Dyson evangelist. But if you have curly hair, spend ages drying it and struggle with frizz, it might just save your sanity."
Lynne Hyland at mirror.com.uk: "It's undoubtedly faster, quieter and easier to use, and I've never had such shiny, smooth hair from a DIY blowdry before. My hair still looked nearly as smooth the next day too. I can see that this is potentially going to save women a lot of heat damage and split ends. £299 is an insane amount of money but then again, a good hair day is pretty priceless…."
The Takeaway
Dyson's evolution from insight-driven to technology-driven should be a cautionary tale for companies adopting a technology-driven posture. As Dyson has proven, adopting a technology-driven posture increases the risk of new product failure. Adding consumer insight to the mix reduces the risk of failure considerably. The product must provide a solution to a problem that consumers are having with the products already on the market or they will not buy it.

Scholastic Media Launches National Clifford The Big Red Dog(R) BE BIG(TM) Campaign to Support Civic Engagement Based on Clifford's BIG Ideas
Feb 02, 2009, 08:00 ET from Scholastic Media
It only takes a little....to BE BIG!
BE BIG! to be Supported by Extensive Multi Year Marketing Program and a BIG Launch at the World's BIGgest Toy Store: FAO Schwarz
Scholastic has joined with specialty retailer FAO SCHWARZ for the launch of the BE BIG program and is currently carrying exclusive BE BIG tagged
"The Clifford BE BIG campaign is an exciting and timely extension of what has established Clifford as an icon for families and an embodiment of the Big Ideas for character education," said

The official BE BIG! website includes a chance for users to create and send a virtual Valentine's Day card to Clifford. For every card delivered through
The BE BIG campaign was informed by a research study commissioned by Scholastic Media assessing the relevance of a Clifford cause campaign. This study found that 70% of parents believe the BE BIG campaign would meet a current community need, and found the BE BIG campaign highly appealing. The large majority of respondents felt the BE BIG campaign would not only be meaningful to children because it would reinforce the values and lessons that parents strive to impart, but that it would also be relevant to adults - both as parents and individuals.
The big ideas were borne out of the curriculum developed for the award winning animated television series, currently airing on PBS KIDS(R). (www.pbskids.org/clifford) Now in its ninth season, Clifford consistently ranks in the top ten shows for kids 2-5 and scores high ratings with moms. Clifford enjoys 96% brand awareness among parents.

The American citizen or we the people have not kept our part of the bargain. We the people have surrendered our power and we than made excuses as to why that power was surrendered. The maintenance of freedom requires dedication and responsibility by the citizens. Every time the citizenry shirks a responsibility or allows a choice to be made for them, they have surrendered some freedom.
Here are some examples of freedom being surrendered.
Sen. Charles Schumer wants to require the Federal Aviation Administration to establish seat-size standards for commercial airlines, which he says now force passengers to sit on planes "like sardines." He told the Associated Press the airlines have been slowly cutting down legroom and seat width.
"One of the most vexing things when you travel on an airplane is there's almost no legroom on your standard flight," Schumer said. "There's been constant shrinkage by the airlines." Schumer said he will add an amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Bill that is pending before Congress that would require the agency to set the seat-size guidelines.
American citizens from all ideological persuasions will say what a wonderful idea that congress will require the FFA, on their behalf, to make their airplane rides more comfortable. Even though this regulation is a clear violation of the Constitution, only a few, if any elected officials will object. The federal government was given 26 powers, all listed in the Constitution. The 10th amendment said those that were all the powers the federal government has, all others are reserved for the states and the people.
Every time the people allow the federal government to assume a power they were not given, the people are voluntarily surrendering freedom, even if it means a more comfortable airplane ride. If the Constitution said the federal government had the power to regulate the size of a horse saddle or the number of people that could ride in a stage coach, then yes, to regulate the size of an airplane seat could be deemed to be a power of the federal government.
Also, we the people do have the power to regulate the size of seats in an airplane. If we do not like the product being sold, we do not have to buy that product. If airplane tickets were not being sold, and the airlines were aware it was because the public was demanding bigger seats, the airlines would put bigger seats in the planes. Instead, we the people will make excuses and reasons why this cannot be done, and abstain from exercising our power, thus surrendering our freedom to what we consider a less difficult solution.
We the people are also surrendering our freedom because we are willing to give and accept incorrect information. The sound bite has become a way of life. I recently saw an explanation on Facebook that was totally incorrect. The person giving the information was a person who people seemed to rely on for information judging by responses to his posts.
This person said that communism and socialism are the same. This is not even a simplistic explanation, it is inaccurate, but is widely accepted. Socialism is an economic system and communism is a political system. At one time we could have said that every communist is a socialist but not every socialist is a communist. Today even that statement would be inaccurate. The change began in the late 1960's and was very evident by the late 1980's. Today in China, the political system is still a communist system, but the economic system is as much a capitalist system as it is a socialist system.
Marx, in the mid 1800's said he believed in socialism, he wrote many of the rules for the socialist economic system, but was not a socialist. He disavowed being a socialist because the socialists of his day did not advocate a classless society. Some would have you believe that this is minor detail, but it is critical, even in the United States today.
Because the American people do not or will not take the time to learn for themselves, and are willing to follow what others tell them, we blindly follow. As we blindly follow, we surrender many of our freedoms. A free people must be a vigilant and intellectually curious people. A free people cannot rely on quick and easy soundbites. A free people must always question what they are told to verify its validity. I challenge every reader of this article to verify everything I have said so you will be able to arrive at an informed conclusion.
The American people are surrendering their freedoms by willingly following flawed candidates. This is true in all elections, but never as evident as it is in this current presidential election. In the one party we have two candidates, one a self-proclaimed socialist. This candidate is very honest about his beliefs and has been very consistent over the years. His veracity and character appear to be above reproach.
The other candidate has supported socialist and communist ideas throughout her whole career. She has often stated her policy beliefs to one group only to change that position the same day or next day when speaking to another group. She is a documented liar who has been involved in many scandals that would have brought an indictment and quite possibly a conviction for other people. Today she is the subject of an FBI investigation. At the very heart of this investigation is the willingness of the candidate to put the security of the United States at risk. Yet, she is leading in the polls and defended by many people who also say they love freedom. Our founders warned against trusting freedom to people who are flawed, lacking in veracity and character.
The other political party has as its leading candidate another flawed individual. This individual has exhibited lack of self-control and the lack of the basic courtesies necessary in a free society. His traits are traits one would find in demagogues and autocrats. His veracity and character are nonexistent. He has stated that he can change to become anything he needs to be, and he has. As with all who would deceive, direct answers are never given. As with all demagogues, he is very thinned skinned and reverts to personal insult as his answer to anybody who would question his positions.
The American people are blindly following obviously flawed individuals to be their president. A free people must demand more from its leaders for every time a free people has turned to a flawed individual, lacking especially in veracity and character, the people have always suffered because of that flawed leader suppressing the basic freedoms so necessary to be free; freedoms of speech, the press, assembly, religion, choice and the total protection of private property.
We have learned through history that freedom is not taken but surrendered, and freedom is not given but won. A free people are a vigilant and diligent protector of their freedom. The American people have been neither vigilant nor diligent. We have surrendered the freedoms we have lost. We can, if we have the willingness and dedication, win back the freedoms we have surrendered and insure those freedoms for posterity if future generations will be vigilant and diligent protectors of those freedoms. The choice is always that of the people.
