The best of the Secret Garden Party
July 4, 2017 by Marissa
The Secret Garden Party announced that 2017 would be the last ever Garden Party. Guerilla Science was born at this festival, so we want to share our favourite moments from 8 years at the Garden. Every year, we've produced an array of surprising talks, extraordinary workshops, and unexpected experiments that have uncovered how facts are always stranger than fiction – here are our favourites.
2008 Pick: Sustainable Energy without the Hot Air
Back in 2008, a motley crew of event producers commandeered an old army tent at the Garden and took science to the masses – marking the first time that British music festival goers were challenged and amazed by science. Our pick of the year was a discussion hosted by physicist and later chief energy officer for the UK government, David Mackay. He dispelled the hot air on climate change by dissecting sustainable energy and calculating whether the country could rely on renewable sources.
2009 Pick: Messing with Matter
In 2009, we returned to the Garden with a raucous gang of scientists in tow. The best event of the year was an afternoon session of metal smelting, melting and casting, created in collaboration with the Materials Library. We constructed a makeshift laboratory and invited festival goers to unearth the science behind metals, as they crafted their very own metal trinkets to take away.
2010 Pick: Flavour Feast
The highlight of our 2010 programme was the Flavour Feast, developed in collaboration with food scientist Becki Clarke, now renowned flavour expert Rachel Edwards-Stuart, and diet researcher Tony Goldstone. Punters were wowed with a smorgasbord of surprising taste sensations and edible demos that tricked all the senses, and discovered that there's more than meets the tongue when it comes to our sense of flavour.
2011 Pick: Dirty Life Drawing
In 2011, we produced a day of dirt as part of the weekend programme – a celebration of all things filthy, sponsored by the Wellcome Trust. We took this to a new level with a Dirty Life Drawing class featuring models with their insides scrawled on their outsides by expert body painting artists. Students learned about the structure and function of organs from doctor Jack Milln and neuroscientist Zarinah Agnew, and were led through the techniques of illustrating the human body by artists Evy Jokhova and Kat Davis.
2012 Pick: Particle Zoo Safari
Our favourite event in 2012 was a flash performance created in collaboration with designer Patrick Stevenson-Keating and particle physicist James Monk. Complete with dubstep, a group of Guerilla Scientists donned costumes and demystified particle physics in a staged safari featuring polyamorous colourful cuddly quarks, speedy golden electrons and a grumpy obese Higgs boson. The characters embraced each other and danced together, forming the fundamental particles of the universe.
2013 Pick: Sensory Speed Dating
Our 2013 programme embraced three fabulous festival themes: sex, drugs, and music. We turned matchmaker with the first ever Sensory Speed Dating. Armed with a plethora of knowledge – thanks to outstanding evolutionary psychologist Rob Burriss – Guerilla Science explored how we use our senses in the strange science of attraction. During six rounds of sensory challenges, blindfolded festival goers uncovered what the smell of sweat tells us about a prospective partner, how eating raw vegetables makes you attractive, and why long vocal chords are sexy.
2014 Pick: Designer Drugs
In 2014 we returned to our spiritual home to once again to explore the ever appealing themes of sex, drugs, and music. Drug scientists Will Lawn and Ravi Das joined us to host a festival-wide drug poll, and helped punters to build new model drugs, understand legal highs, and discover what people might be taking in years to come.
2015 Pick: Fire Organ Tour
2015 saw three days of events themed around rest, noise, and play, inspired by our participation in the first ever multidisciplinary residency in the Wellcome Collection Hub. Over the year we worked tirelessly with a team of engineers from Buro Happold to build the Fire Organ – the mutant offspring of a Rubens' tube and a traditional pipe organ. With the support of the Royal Academy of Engineering, this flaming beast toured several British music festivals, visualising sounds in fire and capturing the minds of hundreds of festival goers.
2016 Pick: Space Yoga
Last year, we landed our mothership and installed ourselves once again as the Gardeners' favourite renegade guides to the galaxy. We held an extended programme inspired by the galactic theme, and even teleported our Intergalactic Travel Bureau into a second tent. We loved seeing punters in the morning stretching like astronauts, discovering what it's like to travel to space, and exploring the benefits of yoga training with Andrew Kuh, the UK Space Agency's Microgravity Manager, and our resident yoga instructor.
2017 Pick: Join us and find out!
Inspired by the final festival theme of fame, celebrity and media, we'll be exploring who they are and who we are in a weekend of activities. Find out more about our programme here.

Are you currently searching at beginning an online business? Great, that's awesome. Beginning an online business is a superb method to achieve financial freedom. Beginning an online business has produced wealth for a lot of people. In the following paragraphs I'll review things i believe is the secrets of getting your home based business running smooth and efficiently. Beginning an online business can appear as an overwhelming task but it's less lengthy as you've a good plan in position.
First you should know obviously what you're selling. You don't only have to know your products inside and outside, you have to also have confidence in your products 100%. If you don't have belief inside your product you won't flourish in selling that given product. It's that easy.
Then you must think like an entrepreneur no worker or self worker. Employees and self-workers are not business proprietors. Why? Self employees enjoy everything themselves. They handle all things in their house business from making calls, planning taxes,producing leads,and virtually other things which has a home based business. Normally self workers are worn-out in the finish of the days. Check out doctors, lawyers, and Mother and Pop shops. The company is dependent positioned on the physician or lawyer being there to satisfy their job. If your physician includes a sick day he manages to lose money. He or she must exist for that business to operate easily.
Then when beginning your home based business find experts who are experts at the things they're doing. It's that easy, period. Don't do your taxes by yourself.Employ an accountant los angeles or tax lawyer that will help you together with your taxes. Employ a marketing firm to promote your products expertly. Yes that you can do many of these things yourself but a couple of things come up. First nobody is a specialist at everything, therefore it only is sensible for the greatest help available. Next even when you had been a specialist whatsoever things relating to running an online business, you may not wish to spend all day long working the daily procedures? To begin with you'd put on yourself too much. Next how about should you become ill or required a holiday, your company would shut lower. There's an estimate professional traders prefer to use when determining if you should purchase a business. That quote is " Professional Traders never purchase a business in which the business goes home during the night.Inch
Everything quote means is if you're everything for your business, then you're not running your company correctly if something occurs, your company collapses. Check out McDonalds, why is McDonalds so effective? A couple of things, one great property locations and 2 a company system so simple you would need to be considered a complete moron to not have the ability to abide by it. McDonalds doesn't depend on a single person to help make the burgers, prepare the fries, go ahead and take customer's orders, market the company, clean the restrooms, and you ought to receive my point. That might be considered crazy if Burger king only had one individual to deal with all the daily tasks connected with managing a McDonalds. And you have to your home based business, it's crazy to run your home based business on your own. Beginning an online business is excellent but make sure to run your home based business as an actual business.

The Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation and its many partners began a quest for a specialized facility tailored to caring for the unique needs of children and families over a decade ago. Thanks to the foresight and years of hard work, we are now building the province's first children's and maternal hospital.
The ground floor will house Saskatchewan's first dedicated pediatric surgery suites, with integrated induction rooms. This will allow parents to be with their child while anesthesia is administered. The ground floor will also house the pediatric emergency department with trauma spaces.
The new Pediatric Emergency will be a calming space where children will feel secure and cared for while receiving emergency medical attention. It will have capacity to treat over 5,000 more visits than today.
Young patients who have been referred to a specialist at Jim Pattison Children's Hospital will come to the main floor Pediatric Outpatient Clinic, which will include general pediatrics, heart, cancer, speech and language, hearing and psychiatry treatment. The main floor will also be home to Canada's first Child Life Zone.
With family-centred care in mind, a short-term child-minding space will be available for siblings so that parents can focus on their child's medical appointment. A theatre for patients will provide a welcome distraction with movies and events.
This floor is dedicated to pediatric inpatient care, with areas designated for Acute Care Pediatrics, a unique Observation area, and a special zone for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), which will be the only one of its kind in Saskatchewan.
Additional features include: special family spaces, an outdoor patient play area, a school room, and access to cutting-edge testing, as well as our province's first Pediatric Sleep Lab, which will mean children no longer need to travel out of province for sleep studies.
For the first time, maternal care will be on one floor, allowing moms-to-be to labour, give birth and stay with their new baby and supportive partner in the same private room. This floor will feature three dedicated maternal operating rooms and the Maternal Outpatient Clinic with fetal assessment.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) space will be very different from what exists today. Families and their newborns currently share space side by side in open bays. In the new children's hospital, each baby and family will have their own private room.
Dedicated family spaces and sleep areas will allow families to gather or rest away from baby's room while remaining close by. Added sound protection to minimize noise on this floor will help our mothers and tiniest patients get the sleep they need.
Thank you for supporting Saskatchewan kids, moms, and families with your gift.

One Room Challenge Week 4 - The Powder Room
Welcome to week #4 of the One Room Challenge!
(If you're just joining me, you can catch up on the last three weeks right here....week 1, week 2, week 3).
I'd like to start by thanking everyone for the comments on my mirror color! Last week, I was in a major quandary about which color was best for our powder room. There were so many great suggestions! The good news is that I think I've found the right color! I think in real life, it appears a touch more on the silver side. But in pictures, it shows up as more of a gold. I took a ton of pictures and this was the most accurate.
The shelves are hung up too! I love how they look, but to be quite honest, I'm not thrilled with the quality. Yes, you get what you pay for {and being that I only paid $20 per shelf, I'm shouldn't be surprised I'm disappointed!}.
I wanted to see if I would like the height and spacing of the shelves, so I used painters tape as a visual guide.
I was sure it would be easy to hang the shelves. I don't get scared away from wall anchors or securing something to my walls. But for some darn reason, these shelves weren't cooperating.
I'm sure the above picture looks like things were going along perfectly fine. But the shelf wouldn't properly hook onto the wall cleat. After drilling several holes into my newly painted and patched walls, I had to step away from the project. I was frustrated. And it was taking way too long.
A day later, I gave it another go and finally just accepted the fact that these shelves aren't perfect. They are hung, but they are not nearly as secure as I'd like. They don't sit flush against the walls. And I have no idea why. Maybe my wall isn't perfectly flat? Or maybe it's the cheap shelf. At any rate, I'm just living with it for now because I like how they look.
As I started pulling out items to decorate the shelves, I remembered some sweet scripture prints that I bought awhile ago from Jones Design Company. And they were even the right size for my frames!
The prints bring just the right touch of color to the bathroom.
Things are really coming along! I think the last big 'to do' for this one room challenge is to select a rug! Come back next week to see what I've chosen!

Last Hours: Climate Change Could Lead to Extinction
October 29, 2013
Our planet has nearly died before. Five times in the deep geologic history of planet Earth, massive quantities of greenhouse gases have been released through the Earth's crust. One was provoked by a meteorite strike, others by tectonic and volcanic activity. In each case, these massive releases of greenhouse gases warmed the planet enough to cause global mass extinctions—the death of more than half of all life.
Last Hours is a film that explores the possibility that we could be close—centuries or perhaps just decades—to tipping points that could lead to a sixth mass extinction. Last Hours relies on input from some of the world's leading scientists.
"It's almost impossible to know when you have passed a tipping point," says Thom Hartmann. "You only see them in retrospect. So we have to do everything we can now to avoid inadvertently hitting tipping points that might lead to catastrophic methane releases." Hartmann's most recent book, The Last Hours of Humanity, goes in depth on the topic.
While climate scientists rarely study mass extinctions, geologists are quite familiar with them. And increasingly they are speaking out about how our extraction of carbon fuels from beneath the earth and burning of them into the atmosphere is mimicking processes that, in the deep geologic past, have caused mass extinctions.
"Geology is a patient teacher and it repeats its lessons over and over again," says Last Hours co-producer George DiCaprio. "Last Hours explains that the same chemical circumstances will yield the same results. There is no reason to suppose otherwise. It's time to tell everyone that global warming may cause a calamity; we have no time to waste."
Was City of Pacifica Press Release an Illegal Action?
October 29, 2013
By Lamont Cranston, Special to Riptide
The City of Pacifica issued an undated press release (click link for PDF) on or about September 19, 2013, stating that meetings planned by the City Council to hear citizen comments about the highway-widening project would have to be delayed "until the legal issues are resolved."
But no council action approved this policy decision, and there was no statement about how this policy position was reached. This was not an official council action, so the press release was an unauthorized, unapproved statement of a new council policy.
The press release was printed on city letterhead but not attributed to anyone. No contact information was given, as is usually the case with a press release. No one on the letterhead was designated as a media contact for comments or information.
The press release quotes Mayor Len Stone as saying the council is "forced to wait to move forward." But this is untrue. In the past, the city has held hearings on projects that were the subject of litigation. The council is not "forced" to NOT hold hearings on the widening project.
Not having hearings is clearly a policy decision, not a requirement. But who made this decision? The mayor does not have the authority to make such a decision for the entire council. The council must vote on any such decision for it to be an official policy position. Is the statement of an unauthorized, unapproved council policy in a city-issued press release an illegal action?

Wild Ride on a Busy Bus
October 20, 2013
SamTrans' number 14 bus circles Linda Mar and Park Pacifica several times a day, straining to climb uphill, then rumbling downhill in low gear. Most passengers are school kids, but a few adult shoppers take the 14 to Park Mall and Linda Mar Shopping Center. Using my Clipper Card, I ran an errand recently on SamTrans and was amazed when a couple boarded the bus with a surfboard and a huge inflatable swim ring. The bus driver waited patiently till the beachgoers were safely seated with their gear, then off we went.

The Rock: Proposed Development Would Tower Above Highway 1
October 20, 2013
Photo by Bob Pilgrim; renderings by the developer
By Todd Bray, Riptide Correspondent
On October 21 the city Planning Commission held a heavily attended Study Session about "The Rock," that humble outcropping (above at left) across from Sea Bowl. Also above are architectural renderings for "The Rock" proposal at 4545 Coast Highway, or to us locals, the southeast corner of Fassler and Highway 1.
Looking at the elevation and the four computer simulations above, the proposal is nine stories tall after all. Planning Director George White misrepresented the scale of the project in his study session notice by declaring the proposal to be only 41 to 45 feet tall. The proclaimed 22,000 square feet of commercial would be less than 9 percent of the overall project, which means the proposal is not a mixed-use development as claimed by White.
The proposal is a nine-story condo development with a five-story detached parking structure. Judging from the simulations, the applicant (who lives in Woodside) has put no thought into our surrounding community, as the project looks like it's on the Mendocino or Carmel coastline, not at the corner of Fassler and Highway 1.
The building is presented as two separate structures, but they share all utility and mechanical, so they are really one building, not two. The current proposal has 63 residential units, with two to three bedrooms each.
Even without possible highway widening, this new project should be shelved. But, of course, we now have a rubber-stamp planning director and a rubber-stamp planning commission, so this monstrosity is a real threat.
The Rock: "Alcatraz/San Quentin" Look Not Right for Pacifica
October 20, 2013
By Rush Limbo, Riptide Wrangler
Just as the highway-widening debate heats up, an out-of-town developer proposes to build a nine-story colossus on top of The Rock at Highway 1 and Fassler. The architect's renderings look like San Quentin or Alcatraz.
The property owner (applicant) is Guru Thalapeneni, 1920 Glenbrook Road, Glenbrook, NV 89413. He apparently also has or had an address in Woodside, California. He is the founder, president, and CEO of Remoba, a mobile technology company, with almost 3,000 Google entries. You could look him up.
The City of Pacifica Planning Commission met in a public Study Session on October 21 to look at this controversial proposal. Inexplicably, the city had ham-fistedly posted a confusing and misleading notice on its website about the Study Session. The headline for that date said the regular commission meeting was cancelled. Nevertheless, dozens of citizens found their way to the unfriendly confines of Council Chambers to hear the Planning Commission's concerns about the proposal.
http://www.cityofpacifica.org/about/calendar.aspBut if you clicked the link anyway, you got:
http://www.cityofpacifica.org/about/calendar.asp?ViewBy=7&CalDate=10/21/2013&EventDateID=28112And clicking yet one more time took you to:
What a long, strange trip it's been through the city website's "mind." Hope you survived the trip. Meanwhile, see Todd Bray's three-story alternative (below) to the nine-story proposal.
Bray's alternative (top), applicant's proposal (bottom)
By Todd Bray, Riptide Correspondent
To further the debate, I offer this to the Pacifica Planning Commission, the general public, and the applicant: a three-story alternative to the nine-story proposal for the Sea Rock condos (aka The Rock) at Fassler and Highway 1.
By losing the top building and two floors of the bottom structure, I think a proposal of this scale, with an iconic coastal veneer of shingles, would not have much, if any, opposition. It's one-third the size of the project to date but still would allow for seven units and (possibly) a rooftop bar and grill.

Rolls-Royce builds a sports coupe!
Rolls-Royce, that most traditional of four-door saloon brands, appears to have built a sports coupe – and while it's totally unique, Bentley Continental GT owners will be looking on with interest. How does it stack up? RAC Cars found out.
Price: From £225,000
Gearbox: Eight-speed automatic
0-62mph: 4.6 seconds
Top speed: 155mph
Fuel economy: 20.2 mpg
CO2: 327 g/km
On sale: Late 2013
Insurance group: 50
Three UK Rolls-Royce Wraith facts
- New model line for Rolls-Royce joins Ghost, Phantom, Phantom Coupe and Phantom Drophead Coupe
- £225,000 list price is only the starting point: Rolls-Royce doesn't expect to sell many cars below £300,000
- Satellite aided transmission is standard: GPS data is used to select the right gear for the next corner ahead
What is it?
The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a fantastic new model line addition from the Goodwood-based brand that's been reborn under BMW stewardship. It joins the excellent Phantom and Ghost models in a range that's now broader than it's ever been, and certainly more stylish than ever before too.
The rakish, far-from-subtle Wraith takes thing a step further. It's derived from the Ghost (Rolls-Royce's smallest car, although this is a relative term) but gains a sleek new look that's dominated by the massive coupe rear. It's incredibly distinctive and we're sure the fastback design will stand the test of time, too.
Rear-hinged doors reveal a staggering interior: there's not another coupe on sale with an interior ambience this wondrous. It also shows what a big car the Wraith is as well – it's so wide, the doors have to be closed by electric motors.
Rolls-Royce reckons list price will start from around £225,000, when it goes on sale towards the end of the year. But it also admits most owners don't look at the price and simply add on the features they want. That meant the true price of a Wraith will be nudging (or breaking) the £300,000 barrier with ease.
Rolls-Royce has fitted a giant 6.6-litre V12 motor to the Wraith – and as that presumably wasn't enough, it's also added on two turbochargers! The result is a mighty 624hp power output. Which is the same as the McLaren 12C supercar.
This means the 2.3-tonne Rolls-Royce can shoot from 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds, and the top speed of 155mph is only pegged back by an electronic limiter. A huge 590lb ft of torque means it has real muscle and the eight-speed automatic gearbox is also faultless. It doesn't have any 'sport' modes, and it doesn't need them.
Our only complaint is the occasionally sudden response of the accelerator when going back onto the power. It seems to go through a period of 'dead' response before power rushes back on. It's not as cultured as you'd expect of a Rolls-Royce.
Ride and handling
This is a big, heavy car, and also one with a Rolls-Royce badge. Combine the two and you expect a fantastic ride quality. It delivers. Yes, it's firmer than in other Rolls-Royce, meaning you'll feel nibbles from bumps you wouldn't notice in a Ghost or Phantom, but it's still an incredibly smooth and accomplished feel.
Handling is sharper than in other models too. It's still rather floaty when really pushed, but the extra poise means it is now better able to take twisting roads at sped than the other cars: consider it mildly sporting, a balance we found rather appealing. Just don't expect a sports car – it isn't quite that.
Inside story
The interior of the Rolls-Royce Wraith is fantastic – there's no other word for it. Built from the very finest wood, leather and other top-drawer materials, it's modern and contemporary yet classically elegant and utterly gorgeous. It is one of the best interiors of any car on sale.
It is accessed through those unique rear-hinged doors. The openings are ample and space inside is commodious for four, too. Be it driver or passengers, all have the most indulgent seats and seating environments that are comfier than most people's houses.
The highlight is the incredible Starlight headliner, which has thousands of fibre optics embedded in, giving an incredible effect at night. Like the rest of the interior, absolutely brilliant.
Rolls-Royce may sell the Wraith for £225,000, but it doesn't expect to deliver many costing less than £300,000. That's because the range of personalisation options is immense and it seems most owners do actually indulge in them – be it colour, trim, interior materials or more infinitesimal bespoke features that make the fantastic Wraith even more unique.
Rivals are few: there's not another two-door coupe on sale this plush or mighty. It dwarfs a Bentley Continental GT, for example (and, remarkably, makes it look almost affordable). But then, the people who'll buy it won't compare it to anything else – and if they also want a Bentley, they'll buy one of those too.
It is not a particularly fuel-efficient car, of course. It averages 20mpg and emits 327g/km CO2, meaning tax is steep and fuel bills will be sobering. Most owners won't worry about this, mind. The fuel tank is big enough to mean they won't have to stop too much – the cost of filling it, like the cost of the car, is immaterial.
The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a truly fantastic motor car. It is unique, distinctive, satisfying and wonderful. The interior is brilliant, power is effortless, and driving it is a total joy. It oozes heritage and is a car to be celebrated. Expensive, yes, but absolutely worth it.
Five rivals
Bentley Continental GT – popular four-seat coupe is dwarfed by the Rolls-Royce but still remains appealing
Mercedes-Benz S-Class – the best car in the world? Quite possibly, yes
BMW M6 Gran Coupe – four-door coupe with sports car performance and handling akin to an M3
Ferrari FF – unique shooting brake-style Ferrari with V12 engine, four-wheel drive and massive heritage
Range Rover Sport Supercharged – a bargain in this company but it doesn't feel 'beneath them' on the road: no wonder the waiting list is so long

I went to bed last night with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. One of the blessings I love the most bout my son will hold him back from having friends; having people to hang with. My son is highly intelligent but lacks the skills to tell if someone is being mean....his social skills are improving but they will always lack for he has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome......autism spectrum disorder.
My son can ride a bike, skate board, play video games and is very, very good at it I might add. Excellent in school. He can swim, knows karate, plays sports that are more single person related or two person related. How is that any different then other kids? Grant you his vocabulary may babyish at times and he might point his finger up in the air when he talks and he may not look at you in the eye every time but he has manners and would never be mean. He just wants to have friends....he wants someone to hang with.

There has been talk, that politicians want to take away the Home Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction, currently enjoyed as a benefit of Home Ownership. Home Owners comprise 65% of the population. Despite the housing market crash, and five million home foreclosures nationwide, the American Dream is still surviving depsite these tough economic times.
While it is true that Mortgage Burning Parties may be forever a thing of the past, removing the benefit of the Home Mortgage Interest Loan Deduction would be paramount to sucker-punching the home buying public.
Home Mortgage Interest Loan Deductions do trickle down through the economy. When a homeowner receives a credit it reduced their tax liability. Closing costs are also a tax deductible item.
So in any given year someone buys a home, the following years return is often a hefty one if they had rented previously.
The housing market has already suffered significantly-there is no point in slashing the one true benefit home owners have which is the tax deduction of their Home Mortgage Interest and Property Taxes.
That money can be reapplied to future mortgage payments, or used to offset unexpected expenses. With unemployment at 14.3% (real) including people who have been out of work, whose benefits have expired, or have just given looking–the demand for continued relief in any form will help taxpayers in tough times. For those who have been long time home owners it will help stave off rising costs in other areas. Until such time as the economy really recovers, it would be counter-productive for legislators to be looking at this as a consideration.

Gratitude Challenge Day 5
I look forward to hearing about your gratitude for the people in your life today. Here is Gratitude Challenge Day 5 (click). Have fun
I am very blessed when it comes to people in my corner. The people who are always there for me, no matter what, my family. I remember going through a tough crisis and my dad flew all the way from England to be with me and help me through it. So grateful for that. I also remember my freinds always being there for me when I need that shoulder to cry on, or someone to tell me straight what I need to hear and not what I want to hear. I am grateful for their honesty and love. And to the strangers who have helped me as well. To a couple with the same names as myself and my husband, who found my purse and returned it, money and all. To the stranger on the highway that told us our wheel was smoking on our trailer and we pulled over just in time before our wheel fell off. They are all around us, supporting and helping us. For that I give thanks. I hope you can all join me in that.
Coming in 2013, we have Young Explorers program for 3-5 year olds, After School Program for 5-9 year olds, and Chicks in the Sticks, a girls outdoor club for 9-14 year olds. For more information visit http://www.naturesbackpack.ca

The calculation of property tax is governed by Utah Law, primarily Title 59, Chapter 2 of Utah Code Annotated. In some situations, the calculation of property tax can be complex. This summary is intended to provide a simple explanation of the property tax system and is not intended to be an exposition of the law. This summary should not be relied upon, may not fully describe your circumstance and is not binding on the County Auditor or the County. Persons interested in the specifics are directed to the statutes, to the case law interpreting the statutes, and to competent legal counsel.
Property owners pay property tax to taxing entities—such as counties, cities, school districts, special service districts—that provide public services. Each year, your property tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value of your property by that year's tax rate for each taxing entity in your tax area. This is the key equation for each taxing entity:
Taxable Value x Tax Rate = Property Tax
Each year both the taxable value and the tax rate will change. Each year, the Salt Lake County Auditor mails a "Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Changes" to you that notifies you of the calculation of your property tax that year and what you may do if you disagree.
The aggregate property tax is the total property tax that is collected by a taxing entity from all the property within its boundaries in a year. The aggregate property tax for each taxing entity can be found below.
The County Auditor provides the certified tax rate to each taxing entity each year. The certified tax rate is calculated by dividing the prior year aggregate property tax by the current year aggregate property value of all property within the boundaries of the taxing entity as follows:
Aggregate Property Tax ÷ Aggregate Property Value = Certified Tax Rate
Certified tax rates might not be the same each year. If the aggregate property value of all property within the boundaries of the taxing entity goes down, then the certified tax rate will go up. If the aggregate property value of all properties within the boundaries of the taxing entity goes up, then the certified tax rate will go down.
A taxing entity is a city, county, special service district, school district, or other governmental entity that may levy a property tax on property located within its boundaries. These taxes pay for the cost of public services. In addition to property taxes, taxing entities may fund services by charging fees, assessments, or through other types of revenue. Certain property taxes have limits imposed by Utah law.
A list of taxing entities in Salt Lake County, including contact information and information regarding public hearings, can be found below

If you're not familiar with one of my very favorite blogs, the extremely cool "The Unbearable Banishment," I must now ask you, no implore you, to visit his most recent post:

This is Andrew. The husband of my mother-in-law's cousin, he is no real relation to me, except in spirit.
There is no way to adequately convey the loveliness of old Andrew, except to repeat what Sarge has often said: that Andrew may very well be a tsaddik, one of the true righteous, living secretly among us, "for whose sake alone the world is not destroyed."
A good, righteous man. Funny, kind, quiet. Once a long time ago, he was an Army Air Corps boy, then a young man who worked hard for his family and played minor league baseball in his spare time ("I loved the way he smelled when he came from a game," his 87-year-old wife confided in me recently. "All sweat and sunshine--he was so sexy, I would lean in and sniff him...")
Devoutly Catholic, now eighty-nine, Andrew is one of the more open-minded and curious people I've met, with great tolerance for differences. He attended a Passover Seder I hosted and followed along in the Haggadah with great interest, asking questions and joining in the Hebrew and Aramaic songs. When it was over, he took my hands and thanked me for the service and the matzoh ball soup.
He is the only real grandfather Hedgehog has ever known. When we visit Texas, Andrew goes out early, trundling patiently along to help my daughter fill the birdfeeders and spread corn for the deer who come to graze on my mother-in-law's land. I love to watch them every morning from the picture window, industrious in their task, often returning to the house hand in hand.
Yes. Tsaddik.
Notes on the photo: Andrew, a Technical Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps (later became the Air Force), circa 1944. Ratlesden RAF Base, England. The plane with the wonderful nose art, a B-17 G, was later shot down over Belgium, although the pilot survived.

Leah and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
It really was an awful day.
You know the deep crunch when your car makes that impact?
That's what I heard two hours ago. When the puppy threw up all over the seat on the way back from the vet's and I turned my head for a second and plowed into two parked cars.
Yes, that sound. Time slows and then speeds up and you're just sitting there, your car is wrecked, and you're hyperventilating along to the pounding of your heart.
In NYC, the least little bit of bad news draws an enormous crowd. It doesn't matter if it's a shooting victim lying on the ground in his slowly pooling blood, or a woman sitting shocked and weeping in a wrecked car full of puppy barf. I will estimate conservatively that my malfeasance drew a crowd of fifty or so onlookers.
I will tell you that a lone good samaritan helped me crawl out of the car and patted my back as we waited for the police, for whom it must be said my devastation was a tiny mishap in the scheme of their long tour of duty; this being NYC after all.
And oh, did I mention that my puppy is revoltingly ill?

Settling In
I promise this is the last puppy post. But I miss my blog, and all I've got on the mind is Puppy, because he won't have it any other way. I think I'd forgotten, after sixteen years, the work entailed. Our terrified, shivering, silent rescue dog, the one who crept toward us on his belly rather than walk upright, is now in the full flower of his rambunctious puppyhood.
As I sit here, trying to have a coffee and write a little post, he's zooming and pouncing, chewing and grabbing. He seems to like, particularly, my special expensive yarn and the hundreds of books that are on doggy level. Mind you, he does have some very nice strong rubber and rope chewy toys. But those hold appeal only for a few minutes at a time, even when I dip his bone in gefillte fish aspic.
I've gotten more exercise in the past few days than in the past year altogether--and am thinking of cancelling my gym membership (seriously, no lie! why bother paying when I've got a very persistent four-legged personal trainer?). This is no sedentary hound.
Now pardon me while I wrestle my precious copy of "Wisconsin Death Trip" from his baby teeth and take him for a run or twenty around the block...

Another Naming Story Unfolds...
Within an hour, I went from being totally unencumbered to completely encumbered. Turns out I've been very busy this holiday filling the sad little hole left in my life when Pippin died last year.
I've been waiting and waiting for the right dog to come along, and yesterday, as I made my way upstate, he just sort of appeared. A 4-month-old redbone coonhound mix (I can't figure out with what--lab? beagle? who knows what moment of love produced him): beautiful, rangy, ginger. A rescued pup from Tennessee (will he be a Tennessee wildcat like Mr. Edwards? Some of you know the reference).
I suspect he'll be a handful for awhile, but I've done the puppy thing and I know the drill. But he's got the silkiest ears, a soft droopy muzzle, and a good handful of dewlap, just like I like. Plus the enormous ill-fitting puppy paws.
The only problem is he hasn't got a name--he came with "Roger," but since he only had the moniker for a day, well, it's on us now. Any suggestions for a wildcat red coonhound Tennessee rescue with oversized paws and a penchant for chewing pinecones?

Ask yourself what the last GIF you really enjoyed was. Cat Falling Off Sofa? Or how about Penguin Eating Ice Cream? Both admirable in their own right. No question about that.
Now ask yourself why you are not yet familiar with the work of Erdal Inci, the artist and photographer whose mind-altering videos are neither twee nor animal-related, and which instead take on real world situations, turning the mundane into the magnificent.
Done right, GIFs can be wonderful things, and as the video loops below show us, they can also be a bit hypnotic.
You might want to blink now.

Fairmont, West Virginia (WV), the county seat of Marion County, was established in 1820 as Middletown. Chartered in 1843 as Fairmont, its name is a portmanteau of the words "Fair" and "Mountain." The city, one of the largest in West Virginia, grew wealthy with the development of coal mining. It was the home of Francis H. Pierpoint, the governor of the Restored Government of Virginia. The Monongahela River is formed here at the junction of the West Fork and Tygart Valley rivers.

A letter from Lady Alexandra Margaret Quinn, Head Gardener here in the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India, to Tessa, her botanist friend who is on an extended collecting trip in the Ottoman Empire and elsewhere.
She copied her letters into her Journal and her will stated that they should be shared after her death. Alex as she preferred to be called lived to be well over a hundred and indeed outlived her beloved Queen. She was Head Gardener for sixty years and died while overseeing the blessing of the first planting of the growing season from what we think was a cerebral hemorrhage from the way it was described by Those who saw it.
This letter which you can read here concerns the addition to the Estate of producing apple brandy.
Dear Tessa,
I must confess that I just got over a headache brought on by drinking more than a bit of a most excellent apple brandy that we laid down ten years ago. We were celebrating the birth of a daughter to a couple who works here, Ingrid and Jacob. It's their first and she takes after her mother in both her blue eyes and flaxen hair.
Our idea for doing apple brandy came to use from a Several Annie whose family in Normandy in the northwest of France was fond of Calvados, their version of apple brandy that is produced as a rather coarse, rough brandy that must age for several years to acquire its flavor, amber color and the right amount of alcohol which our Brewmaster, Sven, says is ideally between 40 and 43 percent.
Sven got the distillery equipment that he needed to produce it from France and didn't The Steward complained about the cost as he approved the funds transfer to our agent in Normandy.
We sampled it after the preferred two years of aging, then at five years, and now at ten years. Sven figured long aging would make it more smooth, less biting, and he was right. Sipped cold, it's simply wonderful. And all too easy to drink while sitting by the fireplace in the rooms of The Steward near a roaring fireplace on a bitterly cold winter night.
We were also celebrating the occasion of Angela who is being promoted to Lead Publican in the Green Man Pub now that her baby is past nursing, the first woman to hold that post. She's been studying for several years now with the retiring Lead Publican whose moving back to Glasgow so he and his wife can be near their grandchildren.
As always, I'm looking to your return as I'm missing you very much.
Love Alex

The bible calls for us to be our spouse's helpmate. So often we are so into our feelings, so unstable, that we hinder not help our mate. We give no thought to their needs and struggles only our "wants". Our priority is not in "relationship" but rather our own "rights".
Time is needed before nuptials to ask yourself, "why am I getting married". The why is such a difficult question to ask and answer. Ever wonder why kids almost always respond "I don't know" to the why questions (adults do also). A better question is "what is my/your motive".
It's so easy to answer I love them or justify that I fell out of love but when we think of marriage in terms of motive its not so simple. Motives imply intent which implies a responsibility; which is much more difficult to justify a way out of. A motive takes the responsibility off the spouse and places it one's self. You become accountable for your own choices and actions.
We often hear people say they married the wrong person; truth is Satan may have planted this idea in one person. That person carried the idea to another who accepted it as truth. Someone opened their mind to allow this falsehood to come in and we in the world accepted it as plausible. It made them feel relieved that they had a way out; so they accepted it as truth; their truth. The world is highly accepting of excuses and bail outs when it comes to matters of responsibility.
When we place our wants over our spouses we become a hindrance rather than a help mate. We initiate a cycle of selfishness that says I won't give unless I first receive. This ignites a spirit of defensiveness as we began to spew all the reasons we are justified in demanding our own way.
To change this nature in marriage, we have to first become familiar with love in action; the purpose of marriage; the beauty of placing another's value over one's own. We must learn to carry the burdens of each other.
Think about if this person turned to drugs tomorrow, three years, ten years, could you endure and pray them through it while remaining loyal and faithful? Would you be willing to help them carry that burden? Love is so much more than adoring a person's smile or sharing a laugh together. It is the action of relieving another of a hardship or simply lightening their load. It's the selfless act of placing that person's desires and needs above your own. It's the sacrifice of many things for the pleasure of seeing another happy.
Love is rarely felt through feelings as it is so often expected. You will find that when love is based off feelings they are it is difficult to describe. When it is rather given and received through actions the descriptions of love and the feelings derived from it are too many to name. When love is the motive the one giving it is not the center nor looking to receive in return; however the reciprocity is somehow unavoidable.
Gal 6:2
Carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ

The liver, intestines, kidneys, lungs, skin, blood and lymphatic systems work together to make sure that toxins are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds and excreted from the body.

Everybody wants a mentor. "Find a mentor," everyone says. "You need a mentor." "You can't get anywhere without a mentor." And there's truth to that. Let it be uncontroversially said: having a go-to advisor is almost always better than not having a go-to advisor.
But a much-beloved champion and advisor you have coffee with every third Wednesday is not the only kind of mentor there is, and as Shark Tank "shark" and entrepreneur Robert Herjavec argues in a recent LinkedIn post, guidance and championship comes in many forms.
"When I consider mentorship, I see it as a series of moments with key individuals over the course of my career," Herjavec writes. "Have I always had one individual guide me along the way? No, that wasn't my experience."
Instead of a single, formal relationship — the seeming gold standard of mentorship — Herjavec recalls a roster of people who have "offered advice or a sounding board along the way." And those people are mentors, too, even if they're not standing coffee dates.
He cites his "unofficial" mentor, Warren Avis, founder of Avis Rent a Car, as evidence. Avis was, he says, "the first person to tell me that I was way (and I mean WAY) off base in my approach to sales, and I've never forgotten that lesson," Herjavec recalls in the post. His approach wasn't scalable, Avis advised, pointing out the hot dog vendor outside their office. He was acting like that hot dog vendor, Avis told him, and to grow, he was going to need to change tactics. "You need be the guy supplying the dogs to all the vendors if you ever want to scale," Avis said.
And yet Avis wasn't his "mentor" in any formal sense of the term. "Did we meet every second Tuesday over coffee to catch up and review my personal and corporate goals? Certain not," Herjavec writes. And yet Avis was undeniably a source of wisdom and guidance, and he was only a phone call away.
Over the course of a career, there will be many Avises, or there can be, if you're open to them — and these "mentorship moments" can be just as valuable to your career as more formal relationships. "Stop with the 'will you be my mentor?' emails," he urges, and "start being present to embrace the learning opportunities all around you."

The 4th of July is almost here and we're really looking forward to the festivities it brings.
From parades to fireworks and homemade ice cream. It's all wonderful, isn't it?
However, a couple of years ago I got to thinking, "Am I teaching my boys the REAL meaning of July 4th? Do they really understand what this holiday is about?" Sure, the picnics and red, white, and blue popsicles are great, but what do they really know about our country and the Founding Fathers?
I began to implement and plan our July 4th family traditions in a different way. Sure, we could enjoy the goodies the day brings, but we were going to have a little history lesson in there as well. What does it look like?
First, we have a festive breakfast. I make red, white, and blue pancakes (I use blue and red food coloring for the pancakes that aren't white).
Then, we read a few books that make the holiday truly come alive for the boys. We also enjoy reading to them from The American Patriot's Bible.

The 1830s and 1840s were tumultuous decades in Welsh history as years of unrest among the working classes reached a violent climax. 1831 saw the Merthyr Rising, and the Chartists became the first working-class movement in Britain culminating in the 1839 Newport Rising. But one event during this period arguably captured the hearts and minds of the Welsh like no other – The Rebecca Riots or Terfysg Beca.
On May 3rd 1839 the tollgate in Efailwen, Carmarthenshire, was destroyed by a gang of men with blackened faces, clad in women's clothes. But who were these men and what had made them so angry?
Poverty and social inequality led these men to revolt against what they felt were unfair road taxes raised by the Turnpike trusts. These trusts were set up to improve Wales' poor quality of roads. In return they were allowed to build toll gates. For example, between Pontarddulais and Carmarthen there were eleven tollgates. Farmers who regularly used the roads were hit the hardest. Efailwen tollagte was built in 1839 to catch out those who were not paying their way. This was the final straw.
The tolls were very much symbols of oppression, but as Neil Evans of the School of History and Archaeology writes here almost half of the incidents 'were about general economic conditions in the countryside and not about tolls at all.'
The economic hardship of the period meant life was hard and primitive. Below are some of the reasons why:
- A population increase in rural Wales meant gaining a livelihood was difficult
- Most farmers did not own their own land so had to pay high rents to wealthy landlords
- Prices for livestock were falling
- Common land which had been available for all the people in the village were now enclosed
- Establishment of the Workhouse (one was built in Carmarthen in 1837)
- Farmers had to pay tithes to the church – one tenth of all their produce each year – even if they attended chapel, which many did
Times were hard, but in 1842-3 when economic conditions were even worse the outbreaks once again spread through the south west….
Now Discover for Yourself
There are a number of theories as to why the name Rebecca was chosen for the leader of the disturbances. Do some detective work of your own and find out what they are and which one you feel is the most convincing.
For those of you interested in reading some primary sources (original materials from the period) visit the People's Collection Wales website. The National Archives website have some very useful and interesting primary source exercises so get involved!
You may even have seen episode 4 of The Story of Wales which was recently shown on BBC 2 which covered the Rebecca Riots. I was lucky enough to work as a runner on the series and the scene you can view here was filmed at St Fagans National History Museum just outside Cardiff, and took most of the night to film. The original gate was replaced with one specially made for the scene only so it could be smashed up by the rioters. It was all very fun.
If you're feeling a little more adventurous take a walk or cycle along the Bro Beca Trail and explore the landscape of Rebecca.
