Many of us have the dream of visiting Dubai, I'm not too sure why either. Maybe cause it is a modern and beautiful city. Everything over there is over-priced! Dubai is a BIG contrast from Egypt. Everything here is clean and modern with skyscrapers and man-made desert, beach, snow and etc. I had the experience of a lifetime here. Worth visiting at least once. To sum up my trip to Dubai. =)
- Went to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. Sat the World's FASTEST roller coaster and drove a Ferrari car!
- Went to the World's LARGEST mall, Dubai Mall. (Took me an hour to walk from one end to another end!)
- Saw the World's BIGGEST water fountain. (the lightings were pretty!)
- Climbed the World's TALLEST building, Burj Khalifah and recorded the sunset.

New ownership YDU
Thank you for 16 beautiful years!
Dear all,
After 16 wonderful years with YDU it is time for me to focus on new challenges and projects.
As of November 1st ownership of YDU will be transferred to two new owners, Nick van den Berg and Lisbeth Petersen.
Of course I will remain involved with YDU in an advisory role and together with Nick and Lisbeth I will ensure a good transfer, in order to guarantee the level of quality of our YDU designer clothing and accessories.
I would like to thank you very much for the wonderful years that I, as owner of YDU, have spent together with you.
I am grateful that I have been able to share my enthusiasm with you about the special collections of our designers. And I cherish the memories of many fun and intense shopping sessions.
At the end of last year, I started to look for possible candidates to take over YDU.
I wanted to find someone filled with energy, ambition and motivation. As YDU has proven itself as a platform for emerging labels and as a unique shopping experience for fans of designer fashion and accessories, I needed to find someone who really believes in our YDU concept.
At the beginning of this year I met a young couple: Nick and Lisbeth from Utrecht. They are very enthusiastic about the concept and the vision of YDU and they immediately showed interest in potential takeover. After many conversations, it became clear that they form a very good team for YDU. Nick and Lisbeth are very ambitious and motivated. They have a lot of affinity with fashion and design and have the dream to put all their energy and passion in YDU and to take our platform to a higher level.
The official transfer of ownership is on November 1st of this year. However I will remain closely involved with YDU in the months to come. Of course, I would very much like to see you in the shop in October. So jump on your bike or get on the train or tram and drop by on the Keizersgracht 447. In October, I am in the shop every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
In November I will be in the shop on Fridays and Saturdays.
I hope to see you soon in the shop or elsewhere.
You can reach me for a cup of coffee, advice or just to say Hello or Goodbye! on 06-24746717 or firstname.lastname@example.com
With warm greetings
Angelika Groenendijk-Wasylewski
Young Designers United

My Worst Nightmare/
Regardless of size, I'm terrified of spiders. Not rational, I can control this fear about as well as preventing a driver from cutting me off during rush hour. At any rate, I thought it might be interesting to create a flash piece about my frenzied phobia.
Ragged breaths seeped from my lungs as I forced my eyes open. As if caressed by the depths of the ocean, a cool darkness enveloped me. But no water slicked against my skin. Instead, my fingers stabbed at a silken cage, not just above and below, but also side-to-side. The first edge of panic clawed its way into my mind. Trapped.
I jammed a hand upward, plowing through padded satin only to crush knuckles against a surface as hard as the giant redwoods. A lump of dread clogged my throat. I lay in a coffin. How had this happened? Was I buried alive? I racked my brain for answers, but none came. Without tools and with a limited air supply, escape seemed doubtful. Defeat settled into my bones, giving me an artificial calm. I closed my eyes, willing myself to sleep. Running out of oxygen seemed much more palatable that way.
A feather's touch wisped over my forearm, giving rise to a sea of chill bumps. Instinctively, I brushed my arm against the side of the coffin. My skin began to crawl. Soon, an army of insects inched toward my shoulders.
Suddenly, a light brightened the coffin, blinding me like a phosphorescent flash. A voice reverberated in the enclosed space. "Look down," it said.
As insects edged up my body, a compulsion to open my eyes washed over me, compelling me to obey the voice. With one eye, I peeked long enough to see a wave of spiders creeping toward my face. A motor kicked on, and a breeze, starting from my feet, swirled up my pant legs, aiming for my head. Trying to escape the whirlwind, the spiders rushed up my neck and over my face. I screamed, but the arachnids filled my mouth, swarming down my throat. I choked and spat. As shock set in, I wondered who belonged to the mysterious voice. Blackness edged my vision, eventually drowning out the light. I guess I would never know.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell won the GOP nomination for governor Tuesday after campaigning as the best candidate to deliver his party from a year of political scandals and infighting.
With more than half of precincts reporting, Blackwell had 257,531 votes, or 55 percent, compared with 208,481, or 45 percent, for Attorney General Jim Petro.
The gubernatorial primary was seen as a test of voter dissatisfaction that could foreshadow the party's prospects in November.
"The Republicans have a problem," said Carl Rullmann, a GOP voter who said he supported Blackwell.
Two other states also held primaries Tuesday, including North Carolina, where the district attorney prosecuting the Duke University rape case fought off two challengers, and Indiana, where congressional incumbents easily won their party nominations.
Blackwell's prominence as a leading black voice in the GOP could be pivotal to Republicans. He is the first black candidate to run for governor in Ohio. His ads sought to taint Petro with connections to the state's investment in rare coins that went awry and to tie him to Gov. Bob Taft, who pleaded no contest to four ethics violations last year involving a failure to report free golf outings and gifts.
'A lot of backstabbing'
Petro hammered Blackwell as a hypocrite who opposes abortion and gambling even though some of his multimillion-dollar stock portfolio is invested in those interests.
The GOP disunity may have turned off some voters.
"I saw a lot of backstabbing, name-calling, character assassination. I don't go for that kind of stuff," said James Martin, 66, leaving a polling place in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville. He said the negative campaigning influenced his choice in the Republican primary, but he would not say who that was.
The Ohio scandals also emboldened Democrats who hope to end the Republicans' 15-year hold on the governor's office.
The winner of the primary will face Democratic U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland in November. Strickland is viewed as the Democrats' best chance to regain some control over a state government where Republicans control all three branches, as well as statewide offices and a majority of congressional seats.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Strickland handily defeated a former state legislator for the nomination. With 60 percent of precincts reporting, he had 331,823 votes, or 78 percent.
Republicans targeted the House seat Strickland leaves open as one of its best shots nationally to gain a Democratic congressional spot. They have been helped by the fact the Democrats' leading candidate must run as a write-in due to a filing mistake. National Democrats and Republicans have spent roughly $1 million in the race, more than they have for any primary in the past decade.
Focus on U.S. Senate race
Ohio's U.S. Senate race will also be closely watched in the fall, but incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine and his Democratic rival, U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown, easily emerged from the primary.
In North Carolina, the allegations against Duke athletes turned what might have been a low-key election into a referendum on Mike Nifong's performance.
In unofficial results, Nifong had 45 percent of the vote, with challenger Freda Black close behind with about 42 percent. There are no Republicans running in the general election, and Nifong needed only 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.
In Indiana, all nine congressional incumbents advanced to the November election. Most challengers were short on money and party support. Sen. Richard Lugar, one of the most popular politicians in state history, had no Republican opposition.

I posted the following status to Facebook yesterday afternoon.
That little bit sums up last night in a nutshell.
I met a sexy MILF last week on cold approach and I ran my usual pick-up script as expected.
The fact that she's in a relationship didn't matter to me, especially since it doesn't matter to women themselves.
I set up the rendezvous as usual.
Here is a screenshot from a chat we had yesterday noon, prior to confirming our meet-up at her place [her texts in white. Mines in green].
From her messages, you can see that she wanted me to come by the Wednesday night I had other occupations].
She rang me but I had my phone on silent mode since I was meeting up with another girl and didn't want the bother. She took this to mean that I didn't want to talk to her the Wednesday night.
Be as it may, Thursday night was ideal since I was able to squeeze her into my tight schedule.
The following screenshots were from yesterday evening into the night as I headed to her place [her texts in white. Mines in green].
The following 2 screenshots are from when the risky rendezvous concluded and I left her place [my texts in green].
Did I manage to sleep with her.
Apparently not.
That wasn't the purpose [sex] and I'll explain this in detail in a subsequent article that you'll find very intriguing.
Anyway, so that was last night.
The bulk of our meet-up @ her place consisted of conversation [quite naturally] about her profession, failed attempts at marriage back in 2003, how she had her alleged first and only One-Night Stand from a nightclub a few years ago after a stressful workweek and week of exams, since she was enrolled in college at an older age some years ago. So she decided to go out alone and allow for anything to happen [her choice of words].
During the entire in-house rendezvous, as expected, I was physical, romantic and always escalating.
The moment I hit the couch in her living room, within 2 minutes tops, I was already stroking her fingers and running my hand and fingers up and down her arm in a light and sensual fashion.
She gave no resistance to this whatsoever.
Just as I didn't, you have absolutely nothing to fear in getting sexual and touchy-feely with your date or any girl in your presence for that matter.
The longer you wait to touch the girl, the more awkward it becomes for both parties. Sooner you attempt to touch, the girl will have surmised that being touchy-feely is a natural part of your being…hence she won't get freaked-out.
Minutes later, I alternated my touches by running my hand down her back, across her shoulders and neck.
I did this for literally over an hour straight.
Alternately, I caressed her thighs also, which were fully exposed as she wore the shortest denim shorts I've seen in ages.
This was surely a deliberate attempt to temp me.
Eventually, I wrapped up the session and left sans [without] sex.
You always want to end the date, meet-up, phone call or texting before she does.
Ending things first should apply straight across the board.
When I ended it last night she was shocked in every conceivable way since 99.9% of girls on the globe have never gotten a date or meet-up ended on them, rather than they ending things on the guy to his dismay.
On a more important note, I want to touch on girls having boyfriend.
Do you remember just weeks ago I posted a post about women with boyfriends being easily seduced, and that 96% of the girls I pick up happen to be in relationships [by no coincidence at all]?
Well- since publishing that post about 3 weeks ago, every single girl whom I'd picked up from cold approach, has a boyfriend.
Over the last 3 weeks, I picked up about 10 new and random girls; about 5 via Facebook and the remaining 5 on street approaches.
All 10 of them have a boyfriend.
Again; this confirms a point which I've been hammering for years, that every woman have a boyfriend and there is no such thing as a girl being single!
Single girls do NOT exist!
You either fuck girls with boyfriends or you get no sex at all.
Most note-worthy though is how easily a girl is to dismiss her boyfriend, and to even go to the extent to deceive him for new-cock opportunities.
This shouldn't be news flash since I've always taught you guys that relationships mean squat to most women.
Women are well-aware of the non-importance of relationships, even the 1 that they are tied into, which is why they can and will often cheat without a tad bit of remorse.
Men on the other hand, are the only ones who seem to believe that relationship are binding contracts [though they are] and that fidelity/faithfulness should be expected.
Entering a monogamous relationship is a huge gamble for men in particular, because men tend to put more stock into it as a serious endeavor, while for women, a relationship is taken with a grain of salt.
I'll speak about why this is in a subsequent post.

Craig Dershowitz, executive director of Artists4Israel, turns this grey line into black and white.
Palestinian artist Shadi Alzaqzouq in London
From Artist Perspectives on Art, Israel and Freedom of Expression; a series of interviews by Lana Melman.
The cultural boycott effort against Israel, wherein international artists are pressured to cancel their performances for their Israeli fans and Israeli artists routinely face discrimination based on their nationality, has created a dangerous threat to freedom of expression across the globe.
Artists are increasingly entering into the political discussion. Roger Waters, Mike Leigh and Emma Thompson have been vocal advocates of a boycott, while Jon Bon Jovi, Matisyahu, Mariah Carey and The Rolling Stones have championed freedom of expression. Internationally known "shock jock," Howard Stern, recently added a splash of his usual color to the ongoing war of words taking place on the issue.
This interview kicks off a series of conversations with individuals working in the art world today, to explore their opinions on the issues and consequences evoked by the cultural Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
At stake is whether art can continue to serve as a vehicle for personal enrichment and societal change, or whether censorship will subjugate freedom of artistic expression to political agendas.
A recent incident in Dismaland, a popular street art exhibit in London spearheaded by the world-famous graffiti artist known as Bansky, sets the stage for this conversation which focuses on the grey line between protest art and propaganda.
When participating Palestinian artist Shadi Alzaqzouq discovered that the Dismaland exhibit included two Israeli artists, he protested their inclusion by covering up his two paintings with a sheet inscribed with the words "RIP Gaza" and laying down in front of it like a corpse. Initially, the event organizers appeared to object, but then decided to leave the sheet (to which he later added "boycott Israel") in place.
I spoke with Craig Dershowitz, executive director of Artists4Israel, an artist rights and advocacy group that supports Israel and artistic freedom with a specific focus on contemporary, urban, and disruptive art, about how the recent events at Dismaland can help us understand the intersection between political and artistic expression in Western society today.
Alzaqzouq's action was clearly a protest, but since he was covering up his own art, was it also a form of artistic expression?
"Artists4Israel has always resided at the intersection of art, protest, performance, and politics," according to Dershowitz. "The thing which has always distinguished us from the likes of Shadi Alzaqzouq, is that while our work will oftentimes have a message or be viewed as protest art or political art, it is never propaganda. What Shadi and others do is propaganda."
Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with aesthetic value to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation." So, what's the distinction?
"The difference is in the singularity of the message, the authenticity, and honesty of the artist and the funding. Shadi is not working alone, he is part of a small but vocal movement [BDS] that has created a set of false beliefs and incorrect messages it wishes to propagate on the world. Many of these artists are heavily funded by PR firms and governments. There is very little truth in their art.
"Had Shadi's work been authentic, he would have draped the sheet and laid beside the piece from the beginning. Then, although I would have disagreed with his political beliefs, I would not be questioning his morality and artistic truth.
"Instead, what he did was censor himself, hide his work because he could not get the event organizer's to censor another artist."
"There is NOTHING artistic," Dershowitz continues, "be it protest, political, or arts and crafts, about attempting to sabotage or deny the work of others. That is censorship and it is unbearable, it is even worse when that censorship is self-inflicted, it is the worst when it is then covered in the shroud of 'performance or protest' art."
Dershowitz contrasts this approach to the philosophy of Artists4Israel.
"Artists4Israel does not censor our artists and we work with those that represent the entire political spectrum. Unlike the anti-Israel movements, we do not demonstrate a hegemonic influence over those who work with us."
Artists4Israel has initiated many innovative projects. Their Bomb Shelter Museum of Living History, a multimedia experience that simulates living through a rocket attack in the Israeli cities such as Sderot, Ashdod, and Ashkelon, has been featured on major media outlets such as CBS, CNN, and NPR.
So, I wondered – how does Dershowitz characterize the Bomb Shelter Museum? As protest art? Performance art? Both?
"It is impossible for me to then classify our Bomb Shelter Museum or our trips to Israel as falling squarely into any one category of the other. It would be a great sound bite for me to say the Bomb Shelter is art protesting against ignorance…so, yeah, go with that. But the truth is also that the Bomb Shelter Museum is just that, a museum housing not just the art of our time but ideas as well – after all, life is art. Living life under rocket attack is maybe the most creative form of art there is."

Peepshow were approached by Pacific Quay to create all the animated maps and graphics showing how the 1918 flu pandemic spread across the globe for this one-off special.
Working with photographer Stephen Lenthall they filmed various table-top experiments to create the bubbling froth which emulates the bubbling and drowning death that occurred from Spanish Flu. This was then used across the animated sequences to show the virulent spread of the disease.

Planning on your destination take time. For a backpackers traveling to Kenya, proper planning in a vital aspect on your upcoming holiday. A lot of time much is taking into account but handy does anyone expect that disaster my strike away from home and while on safari. On this article we are mainly going to pick on a few pointers while backpacking in Kenya.
It should be noted that this is not final hence one may add more points to put into account to avoid Disaster. They include:-
Travel Insurance: Do you have your insurance up to date? Ensure that you've informed your insurer of your travel. Find out if the cover is inclusive of treatment while abroad. For Kenyan, (the locals) ensure that your policy covers one for injuries or illnesses that may occur while traveling. This should also include loss of personal amenities for instance monies, luggage and even flight cancellations.
Exchange your monies at authorized dealers. In Nairobi there are several Forex bureaus located at the heart of the city. However there are also brokers who may persuade travelers to change their monies at backstreets and offer better rates than the bureaus. Do not be tempted as this may lead one into losing their monies or being conned off with fake currencies. Stick to the rules use authorized dealers or the banks.
Get all your emergency Numbers handy: Do you know the emergency numbers to the police, ambulances, embassies or high commission? In Kenya there are handy booklets that have got all the vital information for travelers within Kenya.
Carry your luggage: Imagine having your whole bag stolen with all the content in it! This is very possible especially for backpackers who have to carry their luggage on their backs. It is advisable to ensure that you have the other travelers look after your luggage should you find it necessary to put down your bags. Remember to also look after your luggage while having a snack at hotels or cafe's. There have been incidents of where backpack travelers have lost all their valuables.
Avoid hard cash: There is no need of carry around all your cash with you. Use visa, master cards where it's acceptable. Fr the locals try carrying your monies via your mobile phone on Mpesa, Zap and Orange money. However in the event that you have carried your monies make sure that the hotel has a safe. Keep all you valuables in the safe.
Finally report cases of theft to the local police. In the event that your passport is stolen report to your country's consulate for a replacement as well as the local police.
Disasters while backpacking can be prevented. One just needs to make sure that all details are looked into. Make sure that you've researched about your destinations. If possible get a local guide who is genuine who will keep in the know on which parts to visit what to avoid and any mishaps that one can prevent.

Nicki Doane's 5 Tips on How to Start Meditating
I love meditation and what it does for me, but I have to be honest and say that I had absolutely no idea how to do it when I first started. Having practiced Ashtanga yoga for years and years, I was very familiar with using my practice as a moving meditation. The combined focus on the breath, the bandhas, and the gazing point really did help me to slow down and be in the moment.
As time went on and I learned more about yoga, I found out that meditation is the 7th of the 8 limbs of yoga as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. I felt like it was time for me to investigate. I went through many mental gymnastics on my quest for peace of mind, and so I want to share 5 tips on how to start meditating in the hopes that it will help you along the path to freedom!
1. Work on cultivating a seat. By this I mean a seated position on the floor. Use blankets or blocks and place them under your pelvis. Your hips should be higher than your knees to take the pressure out of your low back. If it bothers your knees, try putting support under them.
2. I never knew how long I should be meditating for and I used to judge myself for not doing it for long enough! Don't be that hard on yourself, so start with very short timings, like 5 minutes. I like to use a timer to keep track of the time. I especially like to use my iPhone, which has a great variety of soothing sounds to choose from as you come out of your meditation session. I use the silk sound to signal the end of mine. Build up your timings slowly as feels right to you.
3. Set Jiva Bandha in your mouth: open your mouth and with your tongue, wet your lips. Then bring your tongue back into your mouth and seal your lips closed. Place the tip of your tongue very softly at the upper palate just above the enamel of your two front teeth. This will relax your jaw and your throat and set a Sattvic (sweet) tone in your mouth.
4. Sit up nice and tall and close your eyes. Focus on the sound of your breath. Draw on your pranayama practice and use Ujayii breath which is slow, smooth breathing through your nose. Follow the inhale and the exhale closely.
5. Imagine that your mind is like a jar of sea water and sand. As you begin to meditate and still your mind, visualize the sand in the jar slowly settling to the bottom. What's left is clear water and that is what you want to feel in your own mind; clarity and lucidity. From there empty your mind and when a thought begins to arise just observe it without grasping for it. Focus on the sound of your breath and on relaxing your body.
I have found the art of meditation, or contemplation, to be very healing in times of chaos and upheaval. This past year I have relied on it heavily and it has been so helpful for easing my mind. I truly love this part of the yoga practice, and I hope you will as well.

Josh Barnett seems plenty satisfied with his victory over Frank Mir at UFC 164, but he's really not happy with the way Mir handled things after the fight. Despite what appeared to be a very clear cut TKO, Mir immediately began to complain about the stoppage, a move that elicited "boos" from the crowd.
Barnett feels like Mir's complaints cheapened his win, and discussed the event on a recent episode of Sherdog's Beatdown Radio:
"I knew that he was right on the edge of being finished even up to 20 seconds before that," Barnett said. "I could feel it really coming on. I could smell blood. As soon as I hit him with that knee and he just hit the floor, the boost was kicking in. I was just kind of going to absolute rampage all over him, and there was no way he was getting through that."
"It was only controversial because Hinds stepped in right at the moment, right at the first absolute point he could come in there … to keep him from really getting hurt bad. Frank jumped up and made a huge stink about it, and that's where the boos came from."
"It does cheapen the win to some degree, but also what makes it difficult is that he gets up and says what he wants to say and I can't just slug him and knock him out again," he continued. "The problem with that is, the repercussions would be bad. I told him, I go, 'Well, I understand why you're upset and I'd be mad if I felt it was stopped early too.'"
"There was a little understanding on my part, but I was also visibly — I was incredibly upset myself because I felt like I got robbed of the moment. I did all this training. We get in the ring. We're not there to be friends. I put this man on his face, and all of a sudden all that time spent getting up to this point, I feel like that's my time. I get to cash in for all the sacrifices I've put in … and I get denied."
"I'm right in the title contention no matter where I'm at. Everybody knows that I can carry the gold."
With that win, Barnett has advanced to #6 in the heavyweight division.

Forgive my theft of Hunter S. Thompson. Several drivers and I were on stand last night with nothing to do. We've been breaking even most nights -- just covering the lease and fuel, making ZERO for ourselves. Last night I walked away from the discussion at about 2:30 a.m. after the bar rush turned out to be a dud, again. It was late, dark, and no cars had driven by in half an hour. I took a leak. I rarely do this. I'm still civilized, meaning I use a public restroom. However, nature dictated that I couldn't make it, and since nobody was round, I didn't think it was a big deal. It's nice to be a guy some times!
When I mosied back to the cars and the drivers standing around, one laughed at what I had just done. He's a newer driver. That launched a discussion about one of our greatest fears, as cabbies. We've noticed that most of our older drivers, the guys who have been driving for 10 years or more, are all oddballs. They're either psychopathically antisocial, or they're so mean you can't get near them, or they have some other psychological problem. The fear is that the job might make people like that, and will it happen to us? The other angle is that perhaps the weirdos end up as cabbies, as there are few other jobs a freak can do. Since we are all fairly normal right now, does that mean our future is doomed? Who knows for sure?
My pissing in the bushes brought on an interesting case study. We know of one driver who regularly takes a leak right outside his car, at night, when nobody is around. That's much worse than me (I went to the bushes and hid). Then somebody mentioned Catheter Cab, who keeps a milk carton in his car. He doesn't even get out! Then there's Carey, who I saw take a leak in a bush at high noon with people walking on the sidewalk. He told me to whistle if anybody walks towards him.
The length of service (years of driving) goes up with each of these drivers. I've been driving less than two years. The guy who goes right outside his car has about five years. Carey has about 10 years, and Catheter Cab is over 10 years. The pattern is clear. The drivers concluded that when you hit twenty years of driving cab, you'll probably be wearing some kind of adult diaper. Depends or something like that. The future is bleak.

December Quotes
Our record December sales results are further evidence of the great work being done by Associates throughout our company. More effective advertising, improved inventory in-stock levels and a tightly integrated multi-channel offering helped drive the year-over-year improvement. A strong increase in the average ticket size more than offset a reduction in traffic, compared with the prior year. Read More >
I think the Budget is going to be positive. The last government numbers up until December point to a small deficit and, pushing it out to the full year, the deficit should be less than 1% of GDP. There is scope for government to spend more and provide more tax relief at the low end of the scale. Read More >
We believe that since Intel's pre-announcement in early December that consumer and commercial demand has continued to get worse with commercial showing the most disturbing trends. In addition, we believe that servers, which had actually been on track for part of the quarter, saw some softening that we believe is related to corporate IT budget stretch outs. Read More >
Spencer ambled his way through November and December, and it showed in the Gorman. The last few weeks he became focused. This isn't like playing 10 football games. These guys have 50 matches a season and it's hard to say they're all meaningful. He understands which are truly significant, and he's locked in right now. Read More >

This week holds Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, and Holy Wednesday. Maundy Thursday. Good Friday. Holy Saturday, then, finally, Easter. Holy Week. I'm reading Between Midnight and Dawn: A Literary Guide to Prayer for Lent, Holy Week, and Eastertide, gathered and edited by Sarah Arthur. It's Sarah's third devotional guide. I wrote about another, At the Still Point, on this blog last summer.
On these pages Sarah brings together Scripture, poetry, and literature for the purpose of prayer, for the purpose of Word informing word and visa versa, for the purpose of sparking imagination in service to truth.
I've jumped ahead to the readings for Maundy Thursday with its title "Accused," the day of the last supper and Jesus's arrest and midnight trial. From Psalm 35: "Ruthless witnesses come forward…" From the prophet Isaiah: "He was opposed and afflicted yet he did not open his mouth." From Mark 14: the narrative of the first hours after Jesus's arrest. From Revelation: an angel delivers judgment. From a poem by Hannah Faith Notess: the images of the blood sacrifice of Passover startle the soothing comforts of bread and wine and a well laid table. From a poem by Jill Peláez Paumgartner: Jesus's silence before Pilate is "the silence of termites. / It is the silence of the vein of silver / underneath the mountain's / grimace…." From a poem by Luci Show: "fallen knees / under a whole world's weight…." From the Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky: an excerpt from the epic and genius scene of the Grand Inquisitor, a fictitious story of Jesus being brought to trial again during the Spanish Inquisition and challenged for his responses to the three temptations of Satan.
Recently I asked Sarah some questions about the book and her process.
What do you say to readers who have never before considered listening to God through literature, such as fiction or poetry, or who have never thought of integrating literature into their devotional practice?
SA: Well, if they've read scripture as a devotional practice, then they've already been in the habit of listening to God through literature. The psalms are ancient Hebrew poetry, after all; and meanwhile Jesus' parables are stories he invented, brilliant little fictions that point to truths about the nature of human beings in relation to God. I sometimes picture Jesus lying on his mat at night gazing at constellations, the campfire burning low, the sounds of the disciples slumbering nearby; and his imagination is playing around with metaphors—seeds and birds, a luminous pearl, a banquet. Or he's inventing characters: a father with some sons; make it two sons; and make the father loving and gracious, because that's what our Father is; and the youngest son says…. So that by the time Jesus' friends are stirring the next morning and have eaten breakfast around the dying fire and set out groggily for the next town, the entire story has unfolded in Jesus' mind, complete with details like the pigs and the angry older brother and the father running, running hard. All of this to say, that if Jesus could engage in the practice of imaginative storytelling as holy work, then so can we; and so have many, many Christians over the centuries. To ignore that vast spiritual library is to impoverish ourselves as a people.
Within the broader themes of Lent, Holy Week, and Eastertide, what specific themes will readers encounter? And how did you select the readings, poems and prayers that are compiled in this book?
SA: Lent is rather famously a penitential season, so as I researched poetry and fiction I looked for works that seemed to speak to the human experience of spiritual poverty: simply stated, we need God. Maybe the main character is terrified of death. Or maybe the poet has sinned, and knows it. Or maybe the author has looked inside himself and found nothing: no reserves of strength or virtue, no therapeutically helpful insight, just the bald awareness that apart from Jesus, he can do nothing. After Easter, however, the themes make the turn toward redemption and healing, restoration, recovery—but not cheap grace: I made sure of that. There's a long road ahead, and our healing has cost God everything.
When writing this book, what pairing of literature and scriptural theme brought you the biggest sense of surprise or excitement, and why?
SA: When I was in 9th grade my English teacher read aloud to us, over the course of several weeks, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens—but right in the middle of the story my family moved to a different state. And for some reason, though I remembered key details and guessed what was probably going to happen (I figured Dickens didn't create two nearly identical characters for nothing), I never finished it on my own. So when I began my research for this book I thought, "I wonder what ever happened to Darnay? Did that other guy take his place at the guillotine?" It sounded like an appropriately Good Friday-esque sort of theme. But what I didn't realize was how powerfully Dickens deals with themes of rebellion and sacrifice and resurrection hope throughout the entire book. When the blood-thirsty crowds of the French revolution treat Darnay like a celebrity one day and call for his execution mere days later, I knew I had my fiction excerpt for Palm Sunday. It's a harrowing insight into the kind of collective madness that could make both Palm Sunday and Good Friday possible. And we're all in the crowd. All of us.
In what practical ways do you suggest readers use this book during Holy Week?
SA: It's tricky because for the rest of the season (Lent, Eastertide) there's a batch of readings for each week, whereas during Holy Week each day of the week has it's own selections: four or five poems plus a fiction excerpt. Which means each day you're going to be doing a lot of reading—good reading, I hope, enriching reading, but a lot. It will require some extra discipline, some intentional chunks of time. Maybe read a little in the morning, a bit more on your lunch break, and the rest before bed. In any case, perhaps you can think of yourself like the disciples in the garden on the night of Jesus' arrest: you're being prompted to keep awake, to pay attention, to concentrate. Which is good practice for the devotional life all year round, actually.

Anatomy of a Trust
Trusts are estate planning tools that can replace or supplement a Last Will and Testament, as well as help manage property during life. A trust manages the distribution of a person's property by transferring its benefits and obligations to different people. There are many reasons to create a trust, making this property distribution technique a popular choice for many people when creating an estate plan.
Whether you're seeking to manage your own assets, control how your assets are distributed after your death, or plan for incapacity, trusts can help you accomplish your estate planning goals. Their power is in their versatility - many types of trusts exist, each designed for a specific purpose. Although trust law is complex and establishing a trust requires the services of an experienced estate planning attorney, mastering the basics isn't hard.
Trust Basics
The basics of trust creation are fairly simple. A trust is a legal entity that holds assets for the benefit of another. Basically, it's like a virtual container that holds title to money or property for somebody else. You can put practically any kind of asset into a trust, including cash, stocks, bonds, insurance policies, real estate, and artwork. When you put assets into the trust, then the trust is funded. The assets you choose to put in a trust depend largely on your goals.
When you create a trust, you are known as the "grantor" (sometimes called the "settlor" or "trustor"). You, as the grantor, name other people, known as "beneficiaries," who will benefit from the trust. Beneficiaries are usually your family and loved ones but can be anyone, even a charity. Your beneficiaries may receive income from the trust or may be able to access to principal assets of the trust either during your lifetime or after you die. The "trustee" is responsible for administering the trust, managing the assets, and distributing income and/or principal according to the terms of the trust. Depending on the purpose of the trust, you can name yourself, another person, or an institution, such as a bank, to be the trustee. You can even name more than one trustee if you like.
Creation of a Trust
To create a trust, the grantor simply needs to prepare a written document that outlines the purpose of the trust, identifies the trustee to manage the trust assets, and names the trust beneficiaries. While the trust document creates the trust, the trust cannot become effective until the grantor actually transfers property into and funds the trust.
Many times, the trustee will be compensated financially for managing the trust. Trusts also create a fiduciary relationship between the trustee and the beneficiaries, meaning that the trustee has a duty to act only in the best interests of the beneficiaries when managing the trust assets. If the trustee fails to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, then the trustee can be held liable for any damages incurred by the beneficiaries.
Trust Terminology
Sometimes called a settlor or trustor, the grantor creates the trust and has the legal capacity to fund the trust by transferring property to be held in the trust.
The trustee can be any legal individual or corporation that will take title to property on behalf of the beneficiaries. The trustee must manage the assets in the trust according to the terms outlined by the grantor in the trust document.
The beneficiary, or sometimes beneficiaries, is the person benefiting from the trust. If there are multiple beneficiaries, they don't all need to have the same interest in the trust property.
Trust Property
The trust property consists of the assets that get put inside the trust and is sometimes called the "principal" or the "corpus." Property can be any type of asset and can be transferred to the trust during the lifetime of the grantor (by using an inter-vivos or living trust) or under the will of the grantor after death (using a testamentary trust).
Revocable Trust
A revocable trust (sometimes called a "modifiable trust") is a trust that can be changed by the grantor during his or her lifetime.
Irrevocable Trust
An irrevocable trust (sometimes called "non-modifiable trust") is a trust that cannot be changed by the grantor once the trust is deemed irrevocable. A trust can also be revocable during the grantor's lifetime and irrevocable upon death, if specified by the trust document.
Goals of Trusts
There are many reasons why you may choose to have a trust as part of your estate plan, including avoiding probate, providing financial support to family members, and providing privacy to your estate if the state where you live requires filing an inventory of assets.
Since trusts can be used for so many purposes, they are popular estate planning tools. Examples of trust goals are to:
Minimize estate taxes;
Shield assets from potential creditors;
Avoid the expense and delay of probating your will;
Preserve assets for your children until they are grown (in case you should die while they are still minors);
Create a pool of investments that can be managed by professional money managers;
Set up a fund for your own support in the event of incapacity;
Shift part of your income tax burden to beneficiaries in lower tax brackets;

Disadvantages of Trusts
While there are certain advantages of using trusts as an estate planning tool, there are also some distinct disadvantages. A trust can be expensive to set up and maintain, between professional fees, trustee fees, and filing fees. Additionally, depending on the type of trust you choose, you may give up some control over the assets you choose to put into the trust. Lastly, there may be tax ramifications for certain actions taken by the grantor or trustee.

Who is this CompTrain Teens for?
Our why behind: to train the fittest Teens on the planet. With that said, this program is for any teen athlete looking to become their best. From the Games-level athlete to the teen looking to break into the Top 200 for the first time, this program aims to get us there.
Are there separate Age Divisions in this program?
Yes, there are (2) age divisions (14-15) & (16-17). Each division is unique with it's own age specific leaderboard and comments board. Programming is tailored to each age division, modifying volumes and loads based on a multitude of factors – not just what the CrossFit Games competitive stage prescribes in the Open and beyond.
Can you explain the different levels of programming (Open vs. Qualifier)?
Open Programming – Those who are looking to finish more competitively in the Open, and are aiming to crack the Top 200.
Qualifier Programming – Those who are confident they will make the Top 200 in their age group. Loading and volume can be slightly heavier for this group in comparison. Games Programming – Those who qualify for the Games (only between the Qualifier and the Games).
Inside of each day, regardless of the training track, are Coach's Notes. Detailing the stimulus and goal of the training day, each workout will be intricately explained. This allows for personal scaling to take place as well. Everyone can train in this program
What if I can't do some workouts as "Rx"?
In every workout, both the stimulus and modification options will always be posted. It is not expected to be complete every workout as "Rx", with the intentions on instead matching the goal of the workout, versus the loading or even specific movement.
How many days per week for we train?
We utilize a 5 days on, 2 days off flow.
Mon + Tue + Wed – On
Thurs – Rest
Fri + Sat – On
Sun – Rest
Many of our athletes modify however to fit their schedule – it is not imperative to follow exactly on the same day, but it is highly beneficial to stay current with the community if you can. On our rest days, a mobility session is programmed. Optional, but highly beneficial priming the body for the following day's training.
How much training time is needed on an average day?
We understand that double-sessions are not a practical option for the vast majority of us. Each day of programming is designed to be completed as a single session, ranging from the 60-90 minute mark to include warmup.
What kind of equipment do I need?
The bulk of the program will incorporate equipment used in the CrossFit Games Open. With that said, we always offer modification recommendations if equipment is missing. And if you are still curious on how to modify, always ask through the forum of Facebook pages!
To put a starting kit together, which will cover the vast majority of our training, here is a short list we recommend:
- Barbells, with Olympic plates
- Pull-Up Bar
- Wallball
- Rower and/or Assault Bike
- Jump Rope
- Dumbbells (50's/35's)
When are the workouts posted?
The following days programming is posted nightly at 8:00pm Eastern Time Zone.
Should I go back to a certain date to start, or jump in on the current date?
Stay current! It is best to stay current and engage the community! There is no need to backdate and start on a previous month.
What's the deal with the Age Specific Whiteboard?
With daily feedback on the whiteboard for each day's programming, you'll have a picture of where you stand amongst your fellow competitors inside your age bracket. This is valuable information so that you know where you are within the field in regard to your weightlifting, conditioning times, and skills.
Do you offer specific strategy during the Open / Qualifier / Games?
Absolutely. This is where we thrive. Upon the release of the Open workouts, we will put up an initial strategy and refine that the following day with video instruction. Following into the Qualifier, we will have the weekend of strategy posted to the blog. At the Games, our team will always be there to support our athletes.
Do you offer specific strategy during the Open / Qualifier / Games?
Yes. Through our closed forum inside of each daily blog post, and through our online Facebook group, our coaches are available daily to ensure your training is addressed.
Will I have direct access for coaching questions?
Yes. Through our closed forum inside of each daily blog post, and through our online Facebook group, our coaches are available daily to ensure your training is addressed.
Is there a Facebook Group?
Yes! To visit the Facebook group, click HERE.

Views from Within the Clouds | Running Mount Albert Edward
Six weeks ago my man Ian reached out: "I need some mountain time."
I know the feeling. I know the longing. I know why it matters.
So we looked for a shared gap in our calendars and set a date. Ian hadn't yet summited Mount Albert Edward, so we had our objective too.
It's a great one, one I've been visiting for over twenty years, over and over, for good reason: First, sitting at the heart of Strathcona Provincial park and near the geographic heart of Vancouver Island, on a clear day you can see from Albert's summit the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Strait of Georgia to the east, and the Island's tallest peak, the Golden Hinde, to the northwest. Also, the mountain is easily accessible via the sub-alpine (yes, you get an elevation cheat) Paradise Meadows parking lot adjacent to the Mount Washington ski area and the run is a reasonable magnitude for a Sunday preceding an early Monday morning on the job site: 32km and a little less than 6000' of gain for the return trip.
And then, on the drive up-Island to the trailhead, as the car hydroplaned for the second time through the Biblical rains pouring down, I wondered whether this wasn't our day, shouldn't be our day, great objective or no.
But a single sliver of blue sky to the west enticed us to keep driving.
Starting out under skies heavy with rain but holding back, we crossed our fingers and unwound our legs through the Meadows. Five kilometres in and up onto the Forbidden Plateau, we ran into the park ranger, who asked us if we were planning to summit, whether we knew the route, doing so while letting us know that a party of four had been lost on the ridge in the clouds yesterday. We were, we did, and, yes, expectations managed for what we'd see up there.
And, though summit views eluded us, we did get a great, brief, look at Albert's peak as we gained the long horseshoe approach ridge before the clouds closed back in. Throughout the day, though we couldn't see long distances, those clouds and the moody weather kept us skidding in our tracks to remark at the power and beauty of this place and what it was willing to reveal. Its capacity to unload the weight of our day-to-days, despite the heaviness of the skies around us. Its capacity to create a space between two friends into which they could fill five hours of connection, riffed ideas, shared stories and laughter.
The mountain's capacity, by going outside - regardless how near at hand the fog and clouds surrounding and obscuring it - to create pathways to places inside and between those friends as they ran along its trails.

Rainy Day Activities for Kids
When the weather doesn't cooperate, I am always Pinterest searching fun rainy day activities for kids that don't involve TV. (I have included two YouTube channels that are interactive, so this isn't screen-free, but I promise both you and your kids will love them!)
So, here are my Top 7 TV-Free Rainy Day Activities for Kids:
1- Melissa and Doug Make a Face Books: My three and five year old love these. They have so much fun making faces. My daughter is especially a fan of this Make-A-Meal Book. I would say you can get 20-30 minutes of self-play out of this activity!
2- Eye Found It: I love playing this game with my kids. Each card in the deck has a scene from a Disney movie or show and the other side has a single image. Every person is dealt five cards and then you turn one card in the deck over to the single image side, the first person to find the image on their card discards it, turns it over and uses it as the image to search for next. It is basically a search and find game that is fun for everyone!
3- Sequence for Kids: I actually like playing this game as much as my kids. It is basically a four in a row game with pictures of animals. This one is easier than normal sequence because the four corners are also "free" spaces. My five year old daughter is awesome at this and beats me consistently. My three year old son likes playing, too, but we still need to work on his strategy ;).
4- PlayMags: These are basically the generic version of Magnatiles, but significantly less expensive. My kids play with these really well together and separately. My daughter builds doll houses for her little figurines and my son loves to build garages. It is a great self-play toy!
5- Reusable Sticker Pads: My kids will take each page out and lay these all over the floor to play for an hour or so at a time. (Can I got a mommy "amen"?) I find the best way to clean up is to just keep the "stickers" in a plastic bag when you're done. It is basically like a big paper doll set with scenes!
My Two Favorite Kids YouTube Channels:
6- Love, love, love, Art for Kids Hub. I have a little sample below of one that both of my kids can do. I am shocked at how it can make even me into an artist! When you're looking for options, you can see which ones look easier than others, so start with those!
7- Now if you need to burn a little energy and calm your kids down, check out Cosmic Kids Yoga. This is a very beginner yoga that takes kids on fun adventures. Here's a sneak peek of her Trolls exercise!
I would love to know your kids' favorite rainy day activities! Leave a comment below!

Let us start building a coaltion for change – exploring the Deep Place approach to economic renewal/
This week saw the Regeneration Skills Collective host a seminar exploring the 'Deep Place' approach to sustainable community renewal.
This research stems from the year-long Tredegar Deep Place study published in 2014 by Dave Adamson and Mark Lang for CREW (Regeneration Wales), looking at the development of more locally focused economic activity and how this could tackle problems of poverty and social exclusion in communities where mainstream economic policy traditionally have no impact.
It was fascinating to hear Dave Adamson explain in detail the work he is currently undertaking in developing the Deep Place approach in Australia, in particular a project in Logan - a satellite city of Brisbane with acute social exclusion and poverty issues. Here the Deep Place plan is successfully linking into local programmes of social enterprise development and social procurement by local government. It is also ensuring that the stock transfer of 4,800 homes maximises the local economic development opportunities.
Adamson's view is that the social housing sector is well placed to help lead and catalyse a Deep Place approach and establish a localised coalition for change. Adamson expressed his disappointment at the lack of leadership seen to date from both central and local government within Wales, not necessarily due to a lack of interest, but rather a lack of appropriate resource, structure and leadership.
The evening saw insightful responses from Calvin Jones (Professor of Economics, Cardiff Business School), Ben Cottam (Head of External Affairs Federation of Small Businesses Wales) and Anna McMorrin (Consultant on poverty and sustainability) who in particular provided an interesting perspective as a former Welsh Government Special Advisor around the structural restrictions and silo working within central government that makes this type of localised, cross portfolio, socioeconomic approach difficult to implement.
The lack of response within Wales to what is undoubtedly a well-considered study offering an alternative solution to an ongoing problem is no doubt disappointing. However it struck me that really, this all links back to what many would argue is a need for a widespread culture change within society (not just in deprived areas), in terms of encouraging a more sustainable, local and healthier approach and culture to how we consume and live across the whole of Wales (in terms of sustainable energy generation, localised food production, care provision models etc).
So maybe Welsh Government should not only be looking at Deep Place opportunities in key target regeneration areas, but leading the way to drive forward some of the key themes across Wales (some may argue the Future Generations Act signals the start of this).
The conclusion from the evening was that the opportunity for developing such a vision for Wales needs a serious and proactive response from the public, private and third sectors.
It is clearly down to all of us who can see the potential of the Deep Place approach to take responsibility and help drive this agenda forward.

To: The staff at KEY
2 years ago, I picked up Clannad as the first visual novel I would ever read. And I grabbed it based entirely of a friend's recommendation for the anime. At that time I had no knowledge that the Visual Novel medium had ever existed before in the way that you presented it. When I thought of Visual Novels previously, dating sims and eroge came to mind, the latter of which I would never have even thought of touching (let alone buying).
Clannad changed that for me, It was the first thing in media that had ever brought tears to my eyes. More so than any TV show, movie, or book. I attribute this to the way you made me bond with your characters. The time it took me to finish Clannad was at least 75 hours of reading, and for the most part, it was fun and games. Fun and games that showed me the individual personalities of each and every character. Realistic, believable personalities just like any real person I know.
It took me less than 2 weeks to finish reading, I would get home from school and read it into the late hours of the night. I don't remember how many times I've fallen asleep at my desk.
I picked up Planetarian next. My presumption was that something classified in the "very short" would be a quick read for a trip I was going on and would give me something to do in the hotel. Looking back on it, everything was relevant, with such a short Kinetic Novel there wasn't a line in it that didn't contribute to the plot or the character development; and at the end, I received a similar impact as I did to any of your other games.
I've read each and every one of your pre-2010 works, and not one has fallen flat in my opinion. Some are better than others, but each of them has left an impact on me.
To me it seems as if you all pour your heart and soul into your works. They never get dull, never feel forced, and listening to the music will sometimes still bring tears to my eyes. The release of Rewrite even encouraged me to start learning Japanese so I don't have to wait for an English patch before ordering it.
I eagerly await your next masterpiece, and I just wish it was more accessible to me when it does get released. I'll be a lifelong fan regardless, and will never forget about the stories you've shown me.Thank you very much.

Business-Strategy digital marketing facebook marketing
How to use Facebook to promote your business9:05 PM

Marketers, Make Facebook network your best tool to run highly effective ads to attract more customers. More than budget, invest in the following strategies.
With 1,700 million users, of which 1.3 billion are active daily - according to the latest investor report released in July 2016 - Facebook is the largest social network in the world. So, it is very likely that a lot of your customers are browsing it.
On the other hand, Dynamic Ads, mobile optimization, pixel usage and video enhancements are some features of Facebook that will help you achieve great results with your marketing campaigns. Just a few minutes to monitor user behavior to check the effectiveness of your strategies and actions.
However, many times these constant changes can provoke the frustration of the companies, whose efforts are cracked before obtaining an economic benefit. No matter how many campaigns we launch at my agency, advertisers make the same mistakes all the time; Which causes a high dropout rate, even when they are very close to achieving the first goals.
Here are some practical ways to work with Facebook. Eye: just some minor adjustments are needed to build campaigns that not only deliver results, but also a return on investment you make.

In an attempt to make a pavlova, I made something akin to an Eton Mess or some kind of pie... So I present to you, Sophie's Pie-vlova! A combination of a pavlova and an Eton mess (made with a lot of yoghurt so your dentist won't get mad!)
For the Meringue
6 egg whites
2 cups of caster sugar
1 tsp of vanilla essence
For the Pie
1 cup of vanilla yoghurt
1 cup of double cream (Or whipped cream)
2 tbsp of caster sugar
2 cups of fruit (I like strawberries and blackberries)
Meringue Method
Pre-heat the oven to 150˚C/Gas 2.
Whip together egg whites and sugar until you get soft peaks.
On a baking tray with baking paper, blob out the meringue as best you can, leaving space for the meringue to rise.
Bake for 30 minutes - until slightly golden.
Take it out of the oven and let it cool.
When cool, use a spoon and break it up!
Middle Bits Method
Whip the cream (add 2 tbsp of caster sugar if your whip cream is pre-whipped)*
Fold yoghurt into the cream.
Chop up your fruit.
Building the Pievlova
Line the bottom of a dish with meringue
Spread half the yoghurt on top of meringue
Add half of the fruit
Repeat, then eat!
* Notes
1. If you don't want to whip the double cream and add sugar just buy any old whipped cream alternative!
2. To make a proper pavlova, you can use the same recipe, just don't break up the meringue!
3. To make an eton mess, break up all the bits and pieces and assemble in bowls instead of a big dish.

Tickets: $12 at the door
18 +
** All Ticket Sales Are Final **
Jeb Bush Orchestra
The Jeb Bush Orchestra is an entirely apolitical, mostly instrumental dance funk band based out of Allston, Mass.
Leon Trout
Leon Trout is breaking into the Jam scene with a bang. Since their inception The Trouts have been playing music focused on groove and power without losing that all important danceability. With roots in Boston, Leon Trout has played countless bars and clubs ranging from Great Scott to their residency at The Middle East Nightclub. Gathering a steady grassroots following over the years their music has elevated them to the stages of several regional music festivals such as Wormtown, Strangecreek and Boston Freedom Rally.
With a new album in the works Leon Trouts music is continuing to evolve and grow to new heights. Tight complex compositions relentlessly slams into creative improvised grooves. With genres ranging from Funk to Latin Jazz to all out Rock and Roll this group manages to tactfully throw these ingredients together to create a dish like no other. If this group brings one thing to the table it is energy. With an eye in the future and a foot in the past there is no ceiling for Leon Trout.
The Stupid Robots
Crafted by the idle hands of a crazed and mysterious inventor Dr Leo Shtupid, the Stupid Robots have been an affront to nature since their inception. After spending years in desolate solitude, Dr Shtupid felt the need to entertain himself. He began converting household appliances into autonomous, music-making devices in order to create algorithmically perfect songs. The underlying algorithms, however, included a disastrous flaw, resulting in erratic originality. The Robots began to groove shamelessly, party enthusiastically, and improvise freely. They had become self aware. Although Dr Shtupid was deeply disappointed by his monstrous creation, he felt unable to decommission them. Instead, he decided to let them loose on the world at large to complete their prime directive: entertainment.

Data programming has been a topic of interest of mine for the past year and peaked just a few months ago. I started attending R sessions at conferences to gain as much knowledge as I could and to decide if this was a development track I wanted to pursue. R and Python have been gaining in popularity over the past several years so I thought maybe I was late to the game. Judging by the crowd at these conferences there were a lot of beginners and curious attendees. Maybe I'm not so late after all.
After enough research and conferences, I decided that R was the better fit and aligned well with my career path. So, I scratched the itch. Well, I tried. However, like most people learning something new, I had lots and lots of questions but didn't want to waste anymore time searching for online help. R was incredibly confusing and I was getting nowhere fast, so I switched directions and looked for a structured learning program instead. If there was a logical learning progression for guitar or jiu jitsu, I had decided that there must be one for data programming too.
Turns out I was right...I think. I started out with a free trial from DataCamp but after a couple of weeks I realized that the subscription would save me a lot of time and frustration.
After making it half way through the intermediate R course I asked Robert Daniel, Chief Sales Officer at DataCamp, to join me on the podcast to talk a little bit about online learning for data scientists. Don't worry, this episode isn't a sales pitch for DataCamp. Because my journey took about a year, I imagine that others are also looking for resources and wondering where to get started. If that's you, listen to this episode. It's intended to be informative and a short listen.
Enjoy and leave a comment below if you have other resources that you'd like to recommend.
On this episode we discuss the following…
- Intro to DataCamp and their mission
- Why online learning has emerged and servicing the data scientist community
- How businesses are adopting online programs to train their data scientists
- What DataCamp has learned from learners over the past 4 years and how that's driving product innovation
- How DataCamp designs their learning tracks around the way data scientists learn
- The two main differences between DataCamp and other online learning programs
- Continuing your data programming education and available learning tracks

As a result, other states are luring new job-creating solar manufacturers away. "Companies want to locate here and, with modest investments, we can land them," points out Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas.

How to extract feature service data with attachments enabled from ArcGIS Online/
There may be a need to make a local copy of attachments stored in a hosted feature service within an ArcGIS Online organisation account, for instance for backup purposes. The instructions below will guide you through the steps of how to do this.
Create a replica
Log in to your AGOL account, go to 'My Content' and browse to the attachment enabled Feature Service you need to extract from.
For small datasets:
1. From the description page of the hosted feature service with attachments enabled, follow the 'Service URL'.
2. Click on the 'FeatureServer' link at the top (under ArcGIS REST Services Directory).
3. Select the 'Create Replica' operation (bottom of the page).
4. Give the replica a name with no spaces.
5. Give 'Layers' a value of 0 (zero)
6. Set
a) Return Attachments to 'True'
b) Sync Model to 'none'
c) Data Format to 'FILEGDB'
7. Click 'Create Replica'
8. Follow the Response URL to download the .zip file
9. Use 7-Zip to extract the content (The 'Extract...' command built in to Windows won`t work!)
10. Add the .gdb extension to the folder name
For large datasets:
Follow steps 1-5 as shown above.
6. Set
a) Return Attachments to 'True'
b) Create Replica Asynchronously to 'True'
c) Sync Model to 'none'
d) Data Format to 'FILEGDB'
7. Click 'Create Replica'
8. Follow the Response URL to download the .zip file
9. Use 7-Zip to extract the content
10. Add the .gdb extension to the folder name
Extract attachments into a folder
At the moment, there is no out-of the box tool in ArcGIS Desktop to extract attachments; however, you can perform this function through the use of a python script. You need to use the arcpy.da (data access) module to identify and iterate through the attachments table using a Search Cursor and save the blob objects, that store the images, into physical files. (The arcpy.da module is only available in v10.1 and 10.2!)
Disclaimer: The below script is provided as-is and Esri UK accepts no responsibility of issues that arise from incorrect usage of this code.
from arcpy import da
import os
tbl = r"C:\TestProject\Attachments\test.gdb\yourFCname__ATTACH"
fldBLOB = 'DATA'
fldAttName = 'ATT_NAME'
outFolder = r"C:\TestProject\Attachments\files"
with da.SearchCursor(tbl,[fldBLOB,fldAttName]) as cursor:
for row in cursor:
binaryRep = row[0]
fileName = row[1]
# save to disk
open(outFolder + os.sep + fileName, 'wb').write(binaryRep.tobytes())
del row, binaryRep, filename
Now you have a copy of your data and attachments to use locally, or for backup purposes.
Note: You can extract the attachments using ArcObjects too, please see the API reference for more information.
