I've received a few questions about my apartment accommodations here so I thought I'd post a couple pictures of my household appliances so you can see what daily life in China is like.
This is the view from my front window on the 4th floor looking out over campus.
Here's a picture of my front bathroom, complete with Turkish Toilet (aka squatty-potty). This may sound absurd but when I have my Chinesestudents over I'm going to have them use the front restroom here instead of letting them go through my bedroom to the western bathroom.
There is no central AC in China. This is my air conditioner/heater. It works pretty well for keeping everything cool so hopefully the heater will work as well otherwise I may have to invest in a space heater.
This is my washing machine. I'm not sure I mentioned this before but all the buttons on everything are in Chinese so unless someone teaches you which buttons to push it's just a shot-in-the-dark to get anything done. There is no adjitating unit in the washer so it slings my clothes around and stretches them out of shape. Also anything that is the slightest bit delicate must be washed in the sink. I normally use the front bathroom sink but there is no hot water, because those come from localized units as well in the master bath and kitchen sink.
Here are my rice cooker and water boiling machine. I have used the water boiler a lot for drinking water. The first time I used the kitchen sink the water came out brownish. I thought my new dishes just had that much dirt and grime on them but alase it was the water. I've let it run for a long time now so it has cleared the pipes but there are sometimes still little floating particles in it. Things will be better after my school gets me a water machine, but it hasn't come in yet. I'm going to ask Lillie about it again on Monday. The school is supposed to provide a commercial size water cooler with 5 gallon jug on it.
The Chinese don't cook very much other than rice and stir fry so the kitchens are super-small. This is the closest thing to an oven and stove top that I have. It's a hot plate and toaster oven. That being said I should be able to make due and cook whatever I need with just those.
Lastly this is my shoe rack. Everyone takes off there shoes the moment they come in the house which is a good thing because the roads and stuff outside are super gross and there is always a thick layer of grime on the stairs going up to my apartment. It takes forever to mop the floors so I would like to keep them as clean as possible. I have a hypothesis that some of the grime is the air pollution settling back down to the ground. Isn't that a pleasant thought?
Until next time, I love you all and hope things are going well back home.

Love is a very beautiful and intense feeling which can make you grow or oppositely make you fall. It can be used as a sign of growth and as a weapon too. It should be taken as a positive feeling. there are very less people in the world who really find their true love which go on forever. here, Love encompasses a variety of strong and positive emotional and mental states, ranging from the most sublime or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasures
Love is one of the most profound emotions we experience as humans. It's bigger than us, meaning, though we can invite it into our lives, we do not have the control over the how, Sometimes, love truly does strike like a bolt of lightening to the chest, and you aren't prepared for it.
Since love is inherently free, we spend nights tossing and turning in an attempt to understand what it is, and how to know if we have it. How do you define something so uncontrollable and versatile?
That's the most tricky thing about love, we can feel it in a variety of different states–when we're happy, sad, angry, confused or excited–and our attitudes about love can range from affectionate love, to infatuation and pleasure. We even use love as an action, as a force to keep our relationships with partners, or friends and family, together. SOMETIMES, PEOPLE ACTUALLY SHOULD KNOW IF THEIR PARTNER LOVES THEM OR NOT!
1. His kisses are long and passionate.
Who now doesn't love an excellent, lengthy kiss? When he's continuously initiating these and you can feel the passion each time does, its clear that he's more than just a little excited to be always around you.
2. His friends love you.
If all his buddies are starting to warm up to you and truly seem to enjoy your company, it could be because they know how happy you're making their friend — thus making them start to find you as awesome as he does.
3. He likes to get close.
4. He smiles after kissing.
Sure, you can have a little sweet smile after kissing someone whose company you enjoy, but do you ever just feel like positively beaming when it's someone you love? If you catch him grinning after you kiss, it's a great sign that he truly enjoys your company.
5. He listens intently.
While he might not be saying much when it comes to your relationship and his feelings about it, the fact that he listens closely when you're talking is incredibly significant. He may lean in closer when you're discussing important topics or nod when you say something poignant, showing how much your words mean to him.
6. He stands up straight.
Most of us tend to slouch and have poorer posture than we should. However, if you're trying to impress the person you care about most and want him or her to be most attracted to you, you're going to stand or sit straight up.
7. He squeezes your hand.
8. He calls or texts for no reason.
Not all people do this when in love, so don't take it personally if he doesn't. That said, it's a sign that he feels comfortable with you in non-romantic situations as well as the obvious ones, and that he's thinking of you throughout the day.
When you're at a bar with friends, does he glance across the room just to make eye contact briefly and smile at one another? This indicates how, even when you two are doing different things,
11. He runs his fingers through his hair.
When people are nervous, they tend to run their fingers through their hair more often than normal. Does he do this when the pair of you are in close proximity to one another and it's a romantic moment? If so, it could show that he wants to say something intimate but can't find the words.
12. He mirrors your behavior.
13. He buys you "meaningful" gifts.
When I say "meaningful," I don't mean "expensive"; I mean that he spends effort and puts serious thought into finding you something that truly fits your personality to a T.
I had one guy give me three pairs of socks: one with a crazy cute pattern, one specifically for boots and one for high heels. The week prior, I had gotten a blister on my foot due to not having thick enough socks for a pair of boots I had just purchased, so it was sweet and a clear indication of his listening skills that he remembered.
14. He laughs whenever you're around — a lot.
Does he find you funny and can't help but giggle when you do something silly? As odd as it sounds, the more often he laughs and finds you hilarious, the more serious the level of interest and excitement surrounding your relationship is.
15. He touches you spontaneously.
When you're in a public place, does he put his fingers on your back to keep you close by? Does he hold your hand atop yours while you two are in a restaurant? Random closeness via touching shows that he wants to maintain physical contact, even when it's not sexual.

It's too funny that I used to hate fellow bloggers who turns into a white stone to disappear all too suddenly.
When I myself would actually do so as well!
Lame me, I know.
But let me tell you now what made me come back alive and kickin' (yes, this means, I'll be wiggling around to pesker you all again with my lovely words. Haha! Kidding. But you know I'll be out there again.)
Blogging proved to be my own stress reliever
This is totally me for what? The last three months! My new school actually proved to be more time-consuming, energy-consuming, life-consuming, sleep-consuming and every-thing-else-consuming.
Yep, it was that hard. Add up the fact that I joined the Student Council of our own department soo eek! Totally no time left for myself already.
I was just that stressed that one time I wanted to just scream and cry out all the stress. There were always papers to be written, films to be done, things to be signed, that were all always due every other day. It was all like snap snap snap and boom! First term is almost over.
It was around that time (which was actually just last week) then that I kept pondering and hunting for that stress reliever that would make me go woah, yea sure let's get this down! kinda thing.
And let me tell you this, I actually tried everything. From eating lots and lots of food to dancing with my friends through this game called the dance central to reading nonfiction books that was totally unrelated to any school work I had at the moment to even just sitting around!
Nothing worked.
So I went backed to skimming around until I came across to my blog once again.
And that was when it hit me. This has truly turned out to be my safe haven. This is where my fears and dreams have always been contained. This is where my healing and courage have once rooted upon. This is where I'm meant to come back.
Soo, here I am. And will be, finally back for real.
And just so to prove that I'm totally on the road again, I'll be bringing up my inspirational board update in a few hours which as some of you might remember (i hope, eek) is actually under my 18 while 18 list of goals. It would also include my calendar and of course my official blogging calendar.
So hola! Can't wait to read and be updated with all you guys as well. 😀
P.S. I did take a bath everyday, stressed as I was. Sooo, don't go thinking that I smell as the smelliest animal already, alright?

Estate Tax Repeal, Now What?
When January 1, 2010 rolled in, the federal estate tax became repealed. Congress could not agree on a compromise so we are left with uncertainty. Everyone should discuss their current estate plan with their advisor and make necessary revisions. What might those revisions be?
1. Most estate plans minimize taxes with a formula that incorporates the estate exemption. This may not function effectively if there is no estate tax.
2. Some estate plans dictate the exemption shall go to children or in trust for children and the rest goes to spouse. If there is no exemption, some spouses could be disinherited if there is no change to their documents.
3. Some estate plans tie their gift to grandchildren to the GST exemption. If this amount does not exist, then grandchildren could be disinherited if there is no change to the documents.
4. Now there is carryover basis which replaces step-up in basis on assets. This is a change in the income tax treatment of assets. The new law directs that a decedent's basis in assets carries over to those who inherit the property with upward basis adjustments in certain circumstances. Many estate plans will need to be revised to take advantage of these provisions. Also, in light of the new carry over rules for "basis", the environment is ideal for those who have both appreciated assets and charitable inclinations. If you have both, a charitable trust can be a very effective financial planning tool as well as an estate planning tool that can reduce your income taxes and creates a monthly stream of income for the rest of your life. Oh, and the best part is, it will also support your favorite charity.

We run beginners' courses on Tuesday Evenings in Saltash 19:00-21:00 in Ten-week terms. No artistic skills are necessary.
If you attend a one-day workshop and would like to continue with the craft, we can then fit you into one of our Afternoon or Evening classes at a time that would be convenient for both you and us.
If you're a beginner, you might also be interested in our summer school, or even a week-long holiday course.
We have been running beginners' courses for sixteen years and still take pride in the work our students produce in a fairly short length of time.
You will be taught how to cut glass, apply copper foil and lead came, solder and finish two small projects in the first few weeks. You can then move on and, with some discussion and planning, you are free to take on a project of your own choice.
This can be made from one of hundreds of patterns available or you could draw up your own idea. Your tutor will help with any problems you may have.
Many of our beginners come to us for years and make some quite exceptional pieces.
You will need to purchase a glass cutter on the second week of the course and a small charge will be made for materials to enable you to make your initial two projects. Please don't buy anything until you've spoken to your tutor.
Materials for any other projects made are available from the studio.
Each year we run a summer school. 2016 Summer school will be a four week course with dates to be confirmed at a later date.
Newcomers are also welcome. Have a go at a one-off project or use the course as a taster in order to move on to other courses available - it's up to you.
Please ring 01752 340586 or email email@example.com for more information or to register your interest.

Tremendous purity, tremendous renunciation, is the one secret of spirituality. "Neither through wealth, nor through progeny, but through renunciation alone is immortality to be reached," say the Vedas. "Sell all that thou hast and give to poor, and follow me," says the Christ. So all great saints and prophets have expressed it, and have carried it out in their lives. How can great spirituality come without renunciation?

If you are involved in a contested divorce in New York State, you are required to provide your spouse with a massive amount of financial documents. This exchange of financial documents can include bank statements, deeds to real property, credit card statements, retirement account statements, stock certificates and virtually any other financial document imaginable. Moreover, you may have to produce several years worth of these documents. Why is this necessary? The reason all these documents are exchanged is that before a person is forced to make a decision as to how his/her assets will be divided, he/she should know what is there. Often times in a marriage, one spouse will handle the finances and the other spouse will be in the dark as to what the couple owns. The exchange of financial documents ensures that both spouses have an understanding of what is there. Financial discovery is no fun. However, it is a necessary evil.

The National Principals Committee of the Australian Education Union (AEU) advocates for principals who are members of the AEU, promoting their role, and is the peak body representing principals on national issues and in national forums.
It focuses on addressing issues faced by principals in the context of their leadership role, union membership and support for AEU policy.
A critical role of the committee is to promote public education through supporting AEU campaign strategies among principals. The committee is also involved in advocating for public education with politicians, media, parents associations and communities. Support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education within the public education system underpins its operations.
At its last meeting, in September 2016, the committee heard reports from each state and territory on topics including salaries and status campaigns, the continuing Gonski schools funding campaign, special education provision and funding, staffing systems in each jurisdiction and workload implications for principals and teachers.
An overview of curriculum and professional matters, such as online marking of NAPLAN, provided a national perspective. Rod Little, the Co-Chair of the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples, briefed the committee about the June 2016 Redfern Statement.
Additional special agenda items encompassed the implementation of the NDIS, early childhood education and principal involvement in the union.

Bitcoin has changed many lives. Luke McGrath's is one of them.
The 15-year-old from from Statesboro, Georgia, put around $500 — or 10 weeks of his pay as a cashier at a local Japanese restaurant, into the currency via his mother's account.
Ever since, he checks the value of bitcoin compulsively. He sneaks glances at his phone in class. At night he stays up, his eyes glued to the currency's wild swings.
"I don't like how often it's on my mind," McGrath said. "It's unhealthy."
Owning a currency that some people say is a fraud and others say is the future can be an emotionally intense experience.
When bitcoin lost 30 percent of its value on Dec. 22, for example, one post on Reddit read: "I just re-financed my house to get in. I'm freaking out." Another user offered support to the frantic: "If anyone's actually depressed or suicidal, come to r/SuicideWatch. We love to listen and talk there."


text: Part curiosity, part folk-art, this bass is a work in progress. This kit is special ordered as fretless from Guitar Kit World. I replaced the bridge with one homemade from solid rosewood, to more closely resemble that of an upright bass. I also replaced the plastic nut with a homemade ebony nut. The neck and hollow body are mahogany. I've still got a few more modifications in mind, but so far, this inexpensive bass has far exceeded my expectations. Acoustically, it is quite loud with a a vibrant tone. Plugged in, it sounds surprisingly punchy and phat and can mwah for days.

Call and make an Origami Scrapbook or Ring Binder
One of the downsides of origami is having an frustrating collection of paper creations cluttering up the house, and nothing in particular to do with them!
The particular majority of the origami models at Activity Town are "flat" and therefore lend themselves to an origami scrapbook or ring binder.
Your son or daughter can store Origami Paper their valuable work, show it off when they want to, add to the personal pages with drawings, writing, stickers, or other adornment, and date their models so that they have a record of their achievements and progression.
All of us used an inexpensive cardboard A4 ring binder to store our origami models, separated into three sections:
Very first, we hole punched various pieces of coloured card for the front of the binder, onto which we stuck our models. Some pages we chock-full model by model, even as we finished them, dating them and adding one or two comments along the way. Other pages we "themed" - by using a darkish blue Modèle Avion En Papier Pliage piece of card as a background for our various fish models, and adding some decals to make it look more interesting. We attached our models to the card with a glue stick.
Second, we extra a number of plastic material sleeves into which we slipped the origami instructions we had printed away, ready to try.
3 rd, we used sticky-tape to attach a huge envelope to the inside back of the ring binder, by which we store our origami papers safely.
Kids Crafts at Activity VillageAll our kids crafts are easy and quick, require minimal equipment and materials, and offer satisfyingly instant results - because we know that even crafty kids like Avion En Papier Facile Qui Vole Bien to be able see the fruits of the labour in action within minutes rather than hours!

The Hammer or the Nail
Most people wake up in the morning and have a cup of coffee. If they do not make it themselves they go out and get one, but who takes the time to enjoy it? Who employs even the least amount of expectation by saying to the cashier, "I'll enjoy a cup of coffee please." We will make it. We will get it. We will take it, all of which confirms our priority is set on attainment and not enjoyment.
If we do not get our first cup of coffee just the way we like it, it can trigger a chain reaction of unfortunate events which could turn our day, week or life into a turbulent sea. There is nothing wrong with reacting to a situation, however, when we mix being short-fused with stubbornness and pour it into the cup of a stagnant caffeinated routine, what we end up with is a volatile cocktail.
Warning Signs
Why do we wait for the warning lights to illuminate before addressing the issues which will most likely leave us stranded on the side of the road? What would happen if the air travel industry aborted their preflight inspections, and, instead, simply waited for the warning lights to signal trouble? There might be a period of time free from incident. The new system would make it easier for flights to stay on schedule. The company would save a great deal of money in the short-term. What is inevitable, however, is the ever-increasing degradation of the fleet resulting in accidents, lawsuits, the death of the business, and the loss of jobs directly and indirectly associated with it.
We all know proactive maintenance exponentially reduces risk, but, in spite of good common sense, most of us still wait for the warning signs. Even if the caution light has been engaged, we often drive on ignoring even the rattles and squeaks and grinds. By doing this, we forfeit the peace of mind which accompanies proper prioritization.
Poor Stewardship Opens the Door for Distractions
The accidents and lawsuits which resulted from the airline not maintaining the fleet were distractions based on poor stewardship. Distractions make it difficult to get back to a healthy routine. What we do; where we end up; what we accomplish, if anything, is based in part on maintaining character through the practicing of good habits.
Character is not achieved by showing up or trying really hard any more than a marathon is won. Endurance and character are built through practice and training. Every noteworthy athlete knows the importance of following the advice of a good trainer. As easy as it sounds, it is not natural to follow someone else's instruction. Consider the fact even pressing the snooze button on our alarm suggests we are not willing to obey even our own suggestions.
The fact is we need to be willing to allow something to instill wisdom in us before we can hope to choose the right person of influence to follow. People tend to enter into relationships with people who make them look and feel good, important or safe. Rarely do they choose someone to help them be good, important and safe. In regard to with whom we spend our time, we often choose unwisely.
Money Minded vs. Reputation Minded
Would you trust a penniless financial advisor or an overweight smoker to be your personal trainer? It is ultimately the reputation earned over a long period of time which holds true value. Consistently, the money-minded rely on the examples of other people with money, fame or power in spite of the fact few wealthy, famous or powerful people have good reputations.
If money and power were built on a foundation of good character, political parties would have a much easier task presenting a winning candidate to its constituents. We have been conditioned to believe fame and money establish a reputation, but it is the time-tested reliability which forges a reputation strong enough to preserve and maintain wealth, notoriety and influence.
The Bible tells us it is acceptable to prosper in heaven as well as on earth. When the rich young ruler asked Jesus what he needed to do to inherit eternal life, Jesus told him to sell all he had, give it to the poor, pick up his cross and to follow him. Unfortunately the young man remembered to keep the commandments but forgot why God asked Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son. You do not necessarily have to sacrifice everything. You do, however, have to be willing to show God your priorities are in order.
A church got behind a spaghetti dinner to raise funds for a youth event. Donations were collected. Servers served. Cooks cooked. Greeters greeted, and the cleaners cleaned. The dinner ran like clockwork. The only problem was the adults were doing all the work. There was an ideal opportunity to train and test the youth, but, because the objective was on raising money and not on building character, the kids got the money but lost the long-term blessing of appreciation and accomplishment through the opportunity to serve as a vital part of the church.
In or Out of Control
Without an ultimate purpose, it is easy to get distracted. Without a reason to look a distance ahead, the eyes gravitate to the nearest person with the greenest grass. Since we are influenced by whatever we choose to focus on, if our eyes are on our neighbor's stuff, we will not be influencing the situation; the situation will be influencing us.
Most people float wherever the current leads. Too distracted to determine direction, they lose their discipline and stamina and are unable to resist the current. With no tools to manage their endeavors they find themselves in situations seemingly out of their control. One thing leads to another while their destination fluctuates based on the prevailing wind.
The Nature of Purpose
If the physical is a limited finite structure and the spiritual is limitless, infinite and without form, our main focus should be on the spiritual based on its greater potential. We can all agree our bodies cannot travel through time, but our reputations can both precede us as well as live on long after our bodies decay. Furthermore, the shelf-life of an accomplishment may be brief, but its influence, which is spiritual, may be timeless.
People who choose to make the sole purpose of their lives the accumulation of wealth will inevitably find themselves on their last day holding nothing. The justification for the pursuit of wealth stems from believing retirement equates to freedom and freedom to fun. Unfortunately, nowhere in Cyndi Lauper's hit song, "Girls Just Want to have Fun," does it address the disappointment of having lived a life empty and often detrimental to others or how the fruit of such a life so quickly decomposes.
Direct Goals with a Purpose
Everything we do should line up with a mission statement which answers the question why we do what we do. The purpose my life is best suited for (at this time) is to bring people to a saving knowledge of God through Jesus (i.e. to expose lies and reveal truth). I do this through converting divine revelation into stories, articles and songs. I enjoy doing a lot of things. Golf is a favorite hobby of mine, but until I get revelation on how to use it to serve others by revealing truth, I will continue to be grateful to play at my current level. Pursuing a professional career in golf or any other venture must be restricted as it would likely hinder me from my primary objective.
We take a valuable tool out of God's hands when our goal is retirement. Work is the conduit through which God distributes insight. There should be no argument we should be working, but the focus should not be about the work, but rather what God can do in us spiritually through the physical work we do. Spiritually speaking, freedom, peace and joy are not sustainable without Godly boundaries and dictates, one of which being – to work. Therefore, it is not wise one should ever retire from the good work necessary in maintaining those spiritual blessings.
Revelation Released
Those who pray with a high level of expectation, while reading and agreeing with the Bible, will be far more prepared to endure trials than those who do not. New revelation is routinely awarded to those who successfully complete an assignment and faithfully put fresh insight to good use. Therefore, we should always expect to have more spiritual insight when we exit a trial than we had when we entered into it. We should also expect to receive a new trial soon after the old one is competed in order to imbed the fresh revelation into our growing belief system.
Once the trial is successfully accomplished, the disciple holds 100% of the blessing. Accumulating seeds of revelation is enjoyable and personally rewarding, but, unless the fruit of our labor is humbly made available to others in accordance with a spiritual purpose (e.g. encouragement), the blessing, however great, will die with the laborer. Therefore, a second goal is necessary; a vehicle of distribution: a relationship.
Relationship Relevance
A person of influence is worthless without a circle to influence. I personally do not buy into the Field of Dreams notion of, "If you build it, they will come." Someone might come, but, in order for them to stay, a sacrificial investment must be made. That is to say, the seed of any relationship must be properly maintained by both parties.
When two purpose-driven individuals meet, their relationship should NOT be based on what one person can do for the other but what they can do with each other. Two individuals working together will always bear more fruit than they would individually.
Expanding my circle of influence and partnering with other purpose-driven people is a spiritual goal achieved through physical means. The power of the means is impacted based on the validity of the purpose. In other words, the spiritual and the physical are not only designed to function jointly – they feed off of one another either positively or negatively relative to our attitude.
Control or Be Controlled
What we choose to commit to strengthens us. What we sacrifice focuses us. What we love defines us. What we do, how we do it, and the attitude we use to frame it, determines the revelation and wisdom we will use in life as the means to achieving the purpose God has placed in our hearts.
We cannot serve two masters. We will either hate one and serve the other or vice versa. We will either desire a physical goal or a spiritual purpose. We will either influence or be influenced; gather or scatter; be in control or be controlled. We will either be the hammer or the nail. For those who accept their spiritual purpose, the level of accountability for a person of influence is high. The work is hard. The blessings are great. The life is full. And even though the coffee will not taste any better, it will be infinitely more enjoyable.

The internet has discovered yet another Halo 3 PC reference buried within AMD's beta drivers.
Back in early February, some Steam users started poking around and found references to a Halo Trilogy release within Steam's database. Before anyone could get too excited, Microsoft officially denied the whole thing, stating that there were no plans to launch any Halo PC ports on Steam's digital platform. Now the question of Halo ports has cropped up yet again after the discovery of Halo 3 references buried within AMD Catalyst's beta driver. Microsoft is once again assuring audiences that there are no plans to re-release the popular games, despite the fact that we're now one incident away from making coincidence into a likely reality.
The Halo 3 reference was found in the application profiles of AMD's Catalyst 13.3 beta, listing support for the console-exclusive title. Admittedly, a tiny piece of code doesn't mean anything, and could simply have acted as a sample placeholder. That certainly is the position Microsoft took when asked about Halo 3 by Eurogamer. "We currently do not have plans to release any Halo titles on Steam," a Microsoft spokesman said, "nor do we currently have plans to release a PC version of Halo 3."
While anything we say about Halo's PC future is speculation, it certainly wouldn't be the first time re-release hints were discovered, denied by publishers, and then confirmed anyway. Either way, if Microsoft isn't planning a Halo 3 port, it seems like a missed opportunity. As far as PC gamers know, Halo 2's story ended in a cliffhanger before Master Chief could prevent a galactic catastrophe. Given that fan reactions of the original "rumor" were largely positive, I imagine a fair number of PC gamers would love to see what happens next.
While we're on the subject, it's worth mentioning that Duke Nukem 3D was also listed on Steam's database, and was confirmed for re-release a week later.

If you are looking for the perfect place to host your destination wedding or honeymoon, Costa Rica could be the getaway of your dreams!
Costa Rica offers something for everyone.
Costa Rica is perfect for the bride and groom who want a bit of everything for their destination wedding or honeymoon. Costa Rica boasts the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. This Central American country is known for its beautiful beaches, mountains, hot springs, waterfalls, tropical rainforests and incredible biodiversity. It is slightly smaller than West Virginia so you can literally drive only an hour away and the landscape changes. If you like zip lining through the jungle and your partner likes laying on the beach you will both be happy.
The flora and fauna will captivate and entertain your senses. Nature is up close and personal. You can turtle watch along the Caribbean coast and North Pacific, and whale watch in the South Pacific. There are an abundance of exotic birds, monkeys, sloths and other jungle creatures. The flowers are bright and bold, creating a tropical paradise.
Costa Rica is easy to get to.
Another selling point to Costa Rica is the easy accessibility from the US. There are many direct flights from major US cities. It takes 5 1/2 hours from NYC, 6 hours from LA, 4 hours from Houston and 5 hours from Chicago. You can fly into Liberia or San Jose depending on your destination choice.
Costa Rica has desirable weather.
The weather patterns are similar to the Caribbean. The dry season is December through April or May and the green season is May to November. Since it is a tropical climate it is not uncommon to have a passing rain shower even on a sunny day. The heaviest rains are generally in September and October. The Caribbean coast has rain year round, but not all day every day. The temperature will vary with altitude, so if you are up in the mountains it will be cooler than on the beaches.
Costa Rica has a wide variety of extraordinary resorts .
Whatever your style, preference or budget Costa Rica offers something for you. You can choose all-inclusive resorts, adult-only or family friendly. There are luxurious 5 star resorts, small intimate boutique hotels or bespoke villas. You can even go totally off the grid into the jungle to eco-lodges with no electricity. Most of these resorts and hotels offer wedding packages or honeymoon specials.
Are you intrigued? Can you see yourself planning a destination wedding, honeymoon or romantic, adventure getaway in Costa Rica? If so, stay tuned for my next two blog posts. I will highlight two couples I interviewed about their amazing trips to Costa Rica.
One couple visited a healing waterfall lagoon that had the most beautiful color water imaginable. The other couple stayed in an eco-resort where the only way in and out is on a whitewater rafting trip!
I can't wait to share both of these spectacular getaways with you. Make sure you sign up below for my Travel Tips Newsletter so you don't miss a thing!
*Please feel free to share this blog post and my website with any of your friends or family who are engaged or know someone who might be. Thank you!

Thanks to a unique report with data from ten of Schibsted's marketplaces we can convert the environmental benefit from our users' trade into numbers. These sites engage millions of users each month – and the result is astonishing. When summarizing the potential effect from secondhand trade during 2017 at Vibbo in Spain, Leboncoin in France, Subito in Italy, Jófogás in Hungary, Blocket in Sweden, Finn in Norway, Tori in Finland, Avito in Morocco, OLX in Brazil and Segundamano in Mexico it adds up to 21.5 million tons greenhouse gases and 1.2 million tonnes plastic!
This means that our users are potentially saving 21.5 million tons greenhouse gases and 1.2 million tonnes plastic during one year.
What do these figures mean?
This huge amount of greenhouse gas and plastic is equivalent to 25 million passengers flying to and from Paris to New York, the production of 169 billion plastic bags, or no traffic in Oslo for 43 years.
But the Second Hand Effect is much more than just numbers. For many people it's a social movement and a way of life. It means meeting new people, embracing a passion and being part of a community, trading things from one hand to another. It is an individual choice to live a more sustainable life.
Greenhouse gases and global warming
Greenhouse gas is a result of combusting all kinds of material, including humans and animals breathing. As we use, produce and dispose more and more resources, the levels of greenhouse gas is constantly growing and causing global warming. As a result, we see more environmental disasters, rising sea levels, drought, less drinkable water and smaller harvests.
Over-consumption of natural resources
Globally, we are consuming as if we had the resources equivalent to 1.6 planets. This means we are consuming too much, too fast, which will lead to a lack of natural resources for coming decades. By consuming in a responsible way and considering repairing, reusing, sharing and recycling products, we can slow down the over-consumption of resources and the negative environmental impact such as pollution, land-use and the ineffective use of existing resource. Selling and buying second-hand is one of the most efficient ways of contributing to minimizing the negative environmental impact related to consumption.
At this site, you can read all about the Second Hand Effect, dig into facts and figures about the different sites' savings, learn about the method and meet some of our users. And not least – understand how you can live even more sustainable.
Our environment is a burning issue. In many countries, governments are now investigating how we can change our societies and way of living on a deeper level.
Most importantly though – when it comes to the Second Hand Effect – it's all of you buying used items who are the true environmental heroes.

Of course, the truth behind the expression is that if something is starting to seem too complicated, there's probably an easier way. Great teaching, great writing, even great science and great math aren't really about being complicated, they're about making super-complicated things...much simpler. Steven Hawking is famous not only for his ideas, but his attempts to make them (at least somewhat) understandable to the average person. Apple computers aren't the most technically powerful machines, but they do allow normal people the most amount of leverage in solving problems and putting together complex tasks. The surest sign of the best solution is simplicity.
And then, of course, there's the PA Teacher Effectiveness Chart. Starting next year, all teachers will be evaluated on four major categories including your personal observations (50%), and school data (15%) which is taken from Keystone tests, graduation rates, AP scores, and other factors. The remaining 35% of your annual score (0-3 scale) is split from your specific student data (Keystone scores, IEP performance, etc). and "elective data". Many teachers (a large majority) don't have any officially tested students so most teachers rely heavily on "elective data" as the second largest portion of their annual score.
We've heard about this model for the past four years and until today, we had no idea what "elective data" means. In fact, even though today is over, we still have no idea what it is. From the looks of it, elective data involves teachers in any given course (Honors 11th grade English for example) sitting around together, selecting up to five common assignments that are aligned to state standards, and setting goals for student performance on each one. Perhaps the teachers will decide "at least 70% of my students will get at least 70% on the project". By meeting this goal, those teachers will "earn" their remaining 35% of their score. Of course, there's five of these assignments...each with their own sets of data and subdata...which ultimately only makes up a fraction of a fraction of a teacher's evaluation.
To prepare for all of this, we spent the day learning about how to make multiple choice questions, how to align assignments to standards, and what "assessment" really is. In addition to teaching, lesson plans, projects, assignments, standardized testing, and all the other teaching jobs out there...we not have to construct our own measures by which our students (and our own profiles) will be measured. See the slide below for an example.
If you're still reading this, I applaud you. It's way too complicated. All of this effort, from the observation, to the Keystone data, to the IEP information, to the Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) is all used not really to improve learning, but to "accurately measure" teachers...with either a 3, 2, 1, or 0. You can argue that the old "one observation per year/ Pass or Fail" model wasn't enough feedback for teachers...but this new convoluted system of trying to compress a teacher's qualitative body of work into a single quantitative number through varying degrees of algoritims, initiatives, tests, and paperwork defies not only logic itself, but the three-pieces-of-tape rule. I'm not sure how the system got this far, but it's clear it's no longer the best answer.

The Women's Premier League squad that will begin the season for Tuggeranong United has been announced, with a healthy mix of experience and youth. Led by Women's Club Captain Meg McLaughlin and vice captain Steph Coates, the side will be seeking to better 2015's semi final run, where TUFC was eliminated in a nail-biting penalty shoot out with Canberra FC.
Up front the Tuggies squad has plenty of firepower, with the inclusion of youth product Sophia Evans, joining the experienced Anna Doyle, Alex Lawrence and Canberra United star McLaughlin. The last full season McLaughlin played she scored 36 goals, so this bunch of sharpshooters is a group to watch this season.
The strength of Dianne Wilson in the midfield will be pivotal to the campaign, with the reliable Stephanie Madrid also adding confidence to combat some highly credentialed opposition to come.
Coates will lead the defence that was third-best in last year's WPL, ably assisted by the experienced Sonya Sheedy and Renae Shatzman.
Coach Michael Aldred has nothing but big achievements in mind for the 2016 WPL season, and has made it clear that all WPL squad members across the youth grades have the opportunity to earn their place in the top team during the season. All Tuggies fans should make time to see the squad in their first outing on Sunday 3rd April.
2016 WPL squad: Jill Scott, Sonya Sheedy, Miranda Summersby-Mitchell, Rachael Corbett, Stephanie Coates, Renae Shatzman, Dianne Wilson, Sandra Hill, Rhiannon Daisley, Hayley McLachlan, Jamie Berkeley, Stephanie Madrid, Sophia Evans, Alex Lawrence, Anna Jane Doyle, Meg McLaughlin.

I design and test high power equipment that uses large SCRs (silicon controlled rectifiers). Sometimes one will go out. I use 6 in a three phase bridge configuration and if one goes out, its difficult to find the bad one without taking them all out. You can make a "in circuit" tester out of a flashlight.
Step 1: What Is an SCR?
An SCR is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier. They are used in power supplies, welders, inverters and other equipment for controlling power. The one below can carry 350 amps of DC current with a rating of 2400 volts. Think of them as a diode that can be turned on with a small current to the gate. Once turned on, they stay turned on till the current flow is interrupted or below the minimum current. Large SCRs like this one requires 150 milliamps at 3 volts to turn on. The SCR behaves like a solid state latching relay. The large base at the left is the Anode and attaches to a heat sink. The "pigtail" end at the right is the Cathode and the white wire is the Gate. The additional skinny red wire is connected to the cathode and is used with the gate when connected to a triggering circuit.
Step 2: The Circuit
To test the SCR, you need to connect a power source to the device. The anode connects to positive and the Cathode connects to negative. The flashlight's light bulb is in series and limits the current through the SCR to about 400 milliamps. A flashlight can be modified to make the tester. You can also use the modified flashlight as a continuity tester, test diode polarities and smaller SCRs.
Step 3: Drill a Hole
You will need to bring out three wires at the end of the flashlight. Start by drilling a hole just big enough for your wires. I used a Yellow, Red and White 18 gauge wire.
Step 4: Feed Wires
Feed three wires about 18 to 24 inches long through the hole at the end of the flashlight. Make them different colors like I did and attach alligator clips to the ends. You can also use test lead wires with alligator clips already attached. Just cut one end off. You can find test leads with alligator clips at Radio Shack.
Solder a washer or copper disc (like mine) on the Cathode clip. This will be the negative end and will be shoved down the barrow of the flashlight against the spring.
Solder the other two wires to the contact ring at the bulb head. These wires will be the positive Gate and Anode clips
Step 5: All-to-gether Now
Carefully adjust the lengths of the wires by pulling on the other ends. Trim the wires and attach alligator clips. Leave a little slack for screwing in the reflector.
Now you can load up the batteries and screw in the reflector.
Step 6: Your Done!
Test the device by bringing together the red or white lead (positive) to the yellow lead (negative) together. The bulb should light. Now go find an SCR to test.
Step 7: Test a SCR, Connect Anode.
Clip the red positive lead to the SCR's Anode.
Step 8: Test SCR, Connect Cathode.
Now connect the yellow (negative) lead to the Cathode. The flashlight bulb should remain off. If it comes on, you have a shorted SCR.
Step 9: Trigger the Gate
Touch the white (positive) clip to the gate lead. The bulb should light up and remain lit even when you remove the connection to the gate. If it does not light, the SCR is bad, you have not met the SCRs minimum gate current or your batteries are weak.
Step 10: In Circuit Testing, Negative Halve of Bridge.
Remember to turn off all power to the equipment and lock out, tag out (LOTO) before testing.
You can test SCRs in a 3 phase bridge without removing them. Below is a typical 3 phase bridge in a power supply. Find the negative and positive bridge output bus bars.
Start by testing 1/2 of the bridge. The three SCRs on the right is the negative halve of the bridge.
Clip the red positive lead of the tester to the negative bridge bus bar (see image notes). Then clip the yellow negative clip to one of the secondary transformer connections. If the bulb remains out, good for you, the bridge is not shorted. Touch a gate wire with the white test wire and test one by one. turn off the SCR by disconnecting the red or yellow wire and move to the next SCR.
If you find any shorts at all, you will need to disconnect all the pig tail connections (cathodes) to isolate each one. Then test each one separately.
Step 11: In Circuit Testing, the Positive Halve.
Now test the other halve of the bridge. Connect the yellow negative clip to the positive bridge output bus bar at the left. Connect the red positive clip to the transformer secondary input to the bridge. Use the white gate wire to trigger each gate of the three SCRs on the left side of the bridge. After you turn on the SCR, disconnect the red or yellow wire to turn off the SCR and move to the next one.
Remember, If you find any shorts at all, you will need to disconnect all the pig tail connections (cathodes).
This is just an example with a three phase bridge in a power supply. Other equipment such as inverters, welders and regulators can use this tester.

It your photos it looks like the anode and gate leads are soldered to the same polarity as the cathode. The outer ring at the head of the flashlight is a contact surface for the switch that bridges the negative from the battery to the bulb. Or am I missing something?
Nevermind. I'm an idiot. I get it now.
Hello ,
I made a tester about 30 years ago using resistors for the load and LED's for the indicators . Mine used 4 "C" batteries to get 6 volts , had a normally open switch to trigger the gate , a normally closed switch in the anode/cathode circuit , also a normally open switch with a load resistor and LED for a battery test . To use the tester , connect the 3 leads to the SCR , press the GATE switch and it should turn on . press the other switch to turn it off . I used it many years doing industrial electrical maintenance . I retired a year ago and as far as I know the electricians at the plant are still using it .
I have a quick question I follwed your instructions but once i ge to the stp about removing the gate once removed the bulb turns off. And also if I touch the cathode lead to the anode it produces a bright blinding light. It should not do this. Help?
That is normal for the SCR tester. It is as if you are closing the switch on the flashlight.
That's a great experiment! i have a 3W 160 lumens LED Flashlights, is it suitable to experiment?
You can also test Mosfets and IGBTs if you add a 9 volt battery inseries. I have instructions at this link. You can test leds too. Its a multipurpose tester and even a flashlight!
I recently obtained a couple large SCRs that look just like the ones inyour instructable. They're labeled "GE C55B", but I couldn'tfind any information or datasheet for them. Do you have a similar model,and if so, do you have or know where to obtain datasheets for these?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
I don't know about the GE SCR, but here is a link for he datasheet on the big one shown. You can get the Powerex scrsfrom Galco.
Thank you for a well-done, useful Instructable; even though I do notwork with large SCR's.
Thank you. Here is a youtube video of it working.

The Taunton High boys soccer team accomplished two big feats on Sunday.
The Taunton High boys soccer team accomplished two big feats on Sunday.
The Tigers not only took back the city championship trophy back from Coyle-Cassidy but clinched a berth in the upcoming state tournament as well.
Michael Shaheen scored the game winning goal with three minutes remaining to lift Taunton over the Warriors, 1-0, in a close match at Taunton High School.
"Our guys were improving every game this season," Tigers first-year head coach Dave Purpura said. "We knew Coyle was going to be ready. Every time — the two school play — you know it's going to be a close. I give Coyle a lot credit today."
Shaheen's goal was assisted by Matt McDonald.
"We kept the ball on the ground today and we kept up the pressure," Purpura said.
Both goalies for both teams played well, especially the Warriors' James Withers, who was named Coyle's Most Valuable Player.
Withers stopped 10 shots on net.
Taunton midfielder and defender Danny Belair was also named MVP.
"It was a very good game," Warriors head coach Dan Borges said. "It was back and forth. Right up till the end."
Brandon Mota, Brad Alconada and Michael Santos played well for the Tigers. Marc Gleason stopped six shots, en route to his eighth shutout of the season.
Nate Biedak, Danny Borges and Ryan Kowalski also played well for C-C.

Tips about Dog Training
If you have a pet at home, it will be necessary to train him. You could not just simply feed a dog whose job is to guard the house only. If you have a god, you should take advantage of other possible things that he can help you with inside the house. However, it can only be done by dog training. There are some important steps that you should do to make dog training possible. You need to understand that dog training is an essential element to a good human-animal relationship.
The first thing that you should do is to inquire. Since you are not professional in terms of dog training, you need to know from the experts. If you have some neighbors who are good at training dogs, you can listen to them and get all the tips that they will share regarding dog training. Aside from that, you also need to read books and blogs. Authors who love to take care animals can provide you with tips on how to train dogs. Same is true with bloggers who love animals. They can share some simple tips on how to train dogs - see more on this site.
The second thing that you should do is to know the basic things. If you want your dog to be a super animal, you are raising your expectation too high. You should also desire to become a well-versed dog trainer if you want your dog to be exceptional. If you do not have the desire to become an expert in dog training, you should be realistic in dealing with your dog. Just know the basic things in dog training so that your pet will be able to become functional inside the house. You do not have plans to develop a circus and ask people to watch the show. See more at this website tythedogguy.com.
The third thing that you should do is to know the motivation method. Since you are dealing with the basic things, one of the important things that you should not forget is motivation. You can teach your dog a certain skill by letting him recognize motivation. Once he makes the skill, you need also to reward him. You can use music as your signal to make the dog function for a specific skill. If he is done with the skill, you need to give him something good to eat, for instance, a cracker. Whenever he hears the music, he automatically-functions. It will be automatic for him to do the action and repeat it again soon even if he is not rewarded.
