Monkey stole something in my pocket #ExploreUbudMonday, September 19, 2016
Aye! So, today is the third day we are in Bali. Short story, me and Ralf decided to go to Ubud area today. So we drove from our villa around Seminyak to Ubud, it took about 45 minutes for 30 km. Roughly we arrived at 12 pm. But before we walk thru the Monkey Forest, we had lunch at Babi Guling Ibu Oka Restaurant around Ubud area. Anyway, the restaurant was not that aesthetic but big enough and about the menus were delicious and affordable prices, overall it was good.
So, anyway, after we've finished our lunch. Next, we continued for the Monkey Forest trip! Aye!
Oh, but we still need to drive from the Restaurant to the Forest about 3 km, is not that far.
After arrived, we have to buy ticket. We bought 2 tickets for 2 adults and it costs 80.000 rupiah, it means 40.000 rupiah for each. And yes, we also got flyer which describes Monkey Forest, they have it in any languages which is good if you want to know more about Monkey Forest.
After thru the ticketing, there are old women who sells bananas in a small cart close to the entrance. They sell it about 10.000 rupiah - 20.000 rupiah it depends how many do you want to buy. If you want to feeding the monkeys, it's better for you to buy bananas. But be careful whatever it takes because the monkeys will be around you for all the time like what we've experienced. At least you will have 'feeding monkeys' experience. Haha
So, when I was with Ralf, we bought 2 bunches bananas and BANG! guess what we've got, monkeys came to us like we were their meal. Look at the 3rd picture, the monkey sat on the shoulder and at the 4th picture, the monkey tried to steal the bananas from Ralf's pocket. It was horror stories Haha
And, so for the 1st, and 2nd pictures, it was me after forced myself to take photo with the monkeys. I've tried so hard to get this photos LOL the fact is I have bunch of photos between me and the monkeys but it's all horrible so I don't wanna share it here :-)
And for 5th - last pictures, it was what's inside the Monkey Forest. Actually, Monkey Forest is more beautiful than the pictures that I've taken. Any interesting things inside the Monkey Forest like Holy Water, Sacred Pool, the Temples, Art Gallery, the Shows too and etc. But I didn't take any pictures because mostly I enjoyed my time being there.
So, that's all after we went home, we have dinner at Crocodile Restaurant in Seminyak. Oh anyway, if you go back home in the evening it's quite jam in Ubud area.
Here the warning lists that you should do and don't in Monkey Forest:
#1 / Dresscode: Empty your pockets before you go. These little guys are smarter than you think. Their muscles are well developed and their thinking skills are geared towards thinking humans come here with food and interesting collectibles. If you have candy in your pocket, they will notice. They will use their instincts to get what they want.
- Don't bring candy or snacks!
#2 / Gear: Monkeys love to pickpocket. That means your purse, backpack, camera case, and fanny pack are all places of potential places of unwanted attention. In the photo above you can clearly see how one clueless tourist was taken advantage of by this curious fellow who stole her bottle of water. We watched him (or her?) open the cap and try to drink the water by tipping the bottle over the step.
- My advice? Leave your backpack at home.
- If a macaque tries to take something from you, let it to avoid an aggressive altercation.
#3 / Photography: Keep a distance from the monkeys. Use zoom instead of getting up close and personal. Just like people, these little guys don't like to have a hundred camera lenses poking at their face all day. If you want to avoid getting bitten, keep your camera lens at a safe distance of at least 2-3 feet away.
#4 / Monkey basics: Like I said, these are wild animals. If you believe in being better safe than sorry do not skip these bullet points:
- Balinese people both love and hate monkeys. The root of these feelings lay in the stories of Balinese Hinduism.
- Prolonged eye contact or slow movement can be perceived as threat.
- These monkeys are known for carrying Hepatitis C as well as fleas. There are even rare cases of rabies from monkey bites. Come prepared or be sure to get vaccinated immediately after being bitten
#5 / Stay on the path: This doesn't need much explanation I think. Like many wild animals, macaques are territorial creatures. In this forest alone there are over some 30 tribes. Try not to wear out your welcome.
Have a nice day! Kindly, share your story if you are about going to Monkey Forest or if you've been there! Thank you for reading my page. Much love.

So powerful. And, perhaps, for many, not an expected result. When 12 boys and their coach were trapped by flooding waters in a cave. Darkness. No contact, except with each other. The coach, a former monk, kept the boys together. Taught them meditation. In darkness. Without contact with the world.
To say it was bleak is to say…you can figure your own expression.
The boys were celebrating one of their teammates birthday…bought him treats. Little did they know that would be their food. The coach refused to eat. Water dripped in the cave, their water supply.
Then contact. Then a rescuer lost his life, doing what he could to save others.
I now link the story and will keep it. So much happened for the good, when the day was the darkest. No one gave up or in. The rescuers came from all part of the earth. Coordination was the theme. No one said, "I'm in charge; get out of my way." Forget that.
My heart is filled with awe and wonder and gratitude and gladness this morning. The twelve boys and their coach are safe. The coach's first note was an apology to the parents. They never held their children's fate against him. They KNEW he would do everything he could, even give his life if it meant the 12 could live.
So much is this about life itself, most especially when the world, our personal world, is dark, when it shutters closed and we cannot see.
On our front door hangs the sign, we put it up during Advent and Epiphany, BELIEVE. We've kept it up for Jason and his recovery. He is now navigating his steps and his life without a wheelchair and a walker. No sprints, but a walk around the block is a start. Thanks be to God. And thanks be to Diane, Jason's mother. Guess it comes down to this: FAITH IS SEEING LIUGHT WITH YOUR HEART WHEN ALL YOUR EYES SEE IS DARKNESS.
Here's the link. Will you do yourself a favor, turn off your "world gadgets" and read the article, then look into an emotional mirror and thank God for the light God shines to and for you, so you can be that light for those whom you meet.

China is often thought of in ancient terms by outsiders. Anyone who has seen Shanghai has had this image shattered.
The best place to see the old and the new of Shanghai blend together is to take a walk along the Bund or visit the French Concession for some shopping or nightlife.
If you wish to escape the city, nearby West Lake or the water towns of Xitang, Zhouzhuang, or Zhujiajiao shoudld offer some respite.

In Memoriam for Geraldine Cox
Geraldine "Gerry" Cox (WHF 1976-77)Gerry Cox of the WHF Class of 1976-77 passed away on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at her home in Arlington, VA. Cynthia Kellams, a friend of Gerry and Walter Cox, prepared the following words in celebration of her life. Also included below are remembrances from several of Gerry's WHF Classmates.
Gerry Cox lost an extended battle to pancreatic cancer on March 21st and passed away peacefully, at home, with her husband Walter and a couple friends at her side. Dr. Gerry Cox was a highly regarded scientist who broke many glass ceilings for women in her profession before putting her career aside to aid an elderly uncle many years ago. The FEMA national Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) callout in 2004 changed all that and brought her out of retirement. When the call went out for volunteers to deploy to Florida, Gerry and another Arlington CERT member, Judie Armington, raised their hands and boarded a plane. They provided FEMA community outreach assistance in Florida for three weeks. After that, FEMA tapped Gerry numerous times — as an environmental scientist — to assist in the wake of disasters across the country. Her longest deployment was three months in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Gerry was also a White House Fellow under presidents Carter and Ford, as well as the recipient of the highest civilian award granted by the U.S. Coast Guard. In addition to her emergency response work with various agencies, Gerry also raised cats, grew orchids, knit scarves, loved cooking, was an accomplished rock hound, a licensed ham radio operator and made and sold jewelry. She pretty much did it all. Gerry asked that there be no funeral or memorial service. If you'd like to send condolences to Walter, her husband of 52 years, his address is 2304 South Rolfe Street, Arlington, VA 22202. Gerry would be glad to be remembered as the feisty dame who got things done … and had fun doing it. God's peace, Gerry.
Remembrance from Jane Pisano (WHF Class of 1976-77): Gerry was an accomplished scientist and naturalist and she was a teacher. She was an outstanding and an always curious colleague. Through her questions she helped me see the world in new ways. She led my kids through ponds and beaches looking for Sharks' teeth and other treasures while professionally she looked for ways to help others. She was in New Orleans with FEMA solving problems when conditions there were at their worst. Typical Gerry: making a difference. I am so grateful that she was my friend.
Remembrance from Susan B. Magee (WHF Class of 1976-77): During our Fellowship year, in Gerry I met a strong woman with an insatiable curiosity and an extensive expertise in scientific and environmental matters. I learned from her, and in the years following, I admired her commitment to humanity in the work she did with FEMA on site of natural disasters in Florida and New Orleans. She cherished her women friends, and I consider myself lucky to have been one of them. She also faced death peacefully and fearlessly. Blessings, Gerry.
Remembrance from Raoul Henri Alcala (WHF Class of 1976-77): Gerry, we love you! You epitomized the ideals of the Fellows, selflessly applying your abundant talents after our year in Washington to positions and causes that benefitted our society, being present with us to help us in our travails and to celebrate our successes, and ever to be our candid and loving friend. Be thou at peace!
Remembrance from Mary Lynn Myers (WHF Class of 1976-77): She was ahead of her time in life and passed from it too soon. We were lucky to have known her.
Remembrance from Judy Rosenstreich (WHF Class of 1976-77): I met Gerry at the Boston regionals in 1976. It was only for a day, but I was impressed! To my good fortune, we went on to spend a year together in the class of 1976-77. Gerry stayed in Washington and I found the time to visit her while keeping up with the White House Fellows program. Gerry ventured to Vermont on the occasion of my son Aaron's Bar Mitzvah. Her gift of his first camera was fortuitous. She loved the fact that Aaron later earned degrees in photography and claimed credit for the part she played in his career as a fine art photographer! That was Gerry, a very kind and thoughtful person who became an expert in everything she pursued whether gourmet cooking, jewelry craftsmanship, Siamese cats, environmental science, or the courageous management of her own illness. I learned so much from Gerry's insightful questions, bringing a unique perspective to our discussions. She was a brilliant and generous person, always thinking of others' needs before her own. We loved Gerry.
Remembrance from Carlos Del Toro (WHF Class of 1998-99): Dear Friends, Please allow me to express my heartfelt sorrow. Gerry was indeed a special lady in many ways. While I certainly did not know her as close as most of you, I did share phone-calls with her these past couple of years as she courageously fought for her life. She was so very caring and would always inquire on my son who is at Johns Hopkins as an undergrad. I will miss our friend. With love to all, Carlos.
Remembrance from Lynn Schenk (WHF Class of 1976-77): Friends, this is how I prefer to remember Gerry (and each of you!)posted: April 23, 2018

Diamond Promise Rings for Girlfriend: Tips
One unique type of promise ring is the so-called promise rings for girlfriend. This type of ring is often called as pre- engagement rings. This further signifies the love being shared by two people in love as they both agreed to be engaged and get married on the later time. Consequently, these two people are perceived to be unprepared to bring the mutual relationship into the next level of formal engagement.
Promise rings for couples are never a new thing to hundreds of couples today. In fact, more and more girls had felt the charisma of this little thing that carries a meaning that is so grand and huge.
I must say that no guy can resist the temptation of getting these cheap promise rings for a gift to the love of his life. So do girls!
A perfect choice for diamond promise rings for girlfriend is the most beautiful thing a man can do for his girl. The diamonds are quite costly and extravagant, I know. However, the price does not pay the sweet thought of giving her the promise of spending life everlastingly.
Promise rings for her must not be expensive. In fact, there are lots of promise rings under 100 that are made available in the market today. Here are few of the many significant things that men must know in choosing a promise ring to give a girlfriend.
First, when it comes to promise rings, always go for a simple design that goes with your budget.
Second, two hearts diamond promise ring is a known type of diamond promise ring that is traditionally accepted by young lovers. Additionally, solitaire diamond promise ring is also a popular choice that certainly captivated the juvenile hearts of more and more young ladies for years. Undeniably, these aforesaid types of promise rings are lovely and stunning.
Third, avoid mistaking promise rings with engagement rings. How? Simple! A promise ring is generally worn on the ring finger of the left hand. It can also be worn in the middle finger of your girlfriend's right hand.
Lastly, never buy the first promise ring you see. Spend time seeking for the one that goes with your budget without compromising elegance and beauty. Try visiting various prominent jewelers' websites. Compare prices and go over their catalogs. Read customer reviews through your most trusted search engine.
I understand that your girl is certainly the most precious person in your life now. Thus, she is certainly the one who lightens your world in her own simple way. Despite this, the necessity to choose the best promise ring for her is the best decision you can arrive at that will certainly help you both, I must say.

Autumns Perfect Pairing
September brings one of the best times of the year to Long Grove with the scent of autumn in the air. Leaves start changing color from green to beautiful bouquets of red, yellow and orange. As you raise your glass with family and friends to enjoy a homemade apple pie, consider complementing your celebration with a special wine like Broken Earth's Albariño.
For Fall Apple Fest, Broken Earth Winery will be featuring their Estate Albariño. This relatively unknown grape varietal is a fresh, light, crisp dry white wine often likened to a Sauvignon Blanc; it also has similar aromas to that of a Viognier, Gewürztraminer or Riesling. Translated as "the white wine from the Rhine," it is best known from Rias Biaxas in Northwest Spain, where the climate is rather cool with heavy amounts of rainfall throughout the year. Take this unique grape, grow it at Broken Earth Winery's warmer, drier estate in Paso Robles, California, and you have their "California" approach: slightly fuller bodied, flavorful wine with powerful fruit notes of peaches, apricots and apples while still retaining a refreshing acidity.
As that feeling of fall enters the air, what better way to enhance it than with a bottle of Albariño plus fruit or fish? Join the fun at Apple Fest where the Albariño will be chilled and ready for you!

I'm losing track...
...of the days.
Because I had the delight of a long visit with a unique and interesting woman whom I have known only distantly, although we seem to have travelled many of the same paths in different places, I was left with the feeling that today was Sunday: it felt like a blessed vacation.
It is a gift to begin a friendship with someone older than me, who has walked many of the same paths earlier than me, and made the way a bit wider for those of us who came after. She too has begun new things late in life, which I find a real encouragement, in the original sense of the word: it gives me courage.
Still, I spent many hours reading/writing/signing/donating...Oy.
I wonder, some days, whether I might not have a better effect in the end by spending half that time in prayer for our country's return to honesty, nobility and generosity.
Earlier today, I was pulled into doing something that is necessary and timely, but that I would not have chosen to begin now: I was looking for a special garment and not finding it in its usual place in the closet. So I began taking things out; and while I was at it, tried them on to see if they were still current. Many were not, and there is still more to go through. But it started me thinking about the other garments we wear whether or not they still fit---profession, political affiliation...the fact that I still wear my wedding ring...
We are such creatures of habit. That is how we learn competence in this world: we do things again and again until they are easy, almost automatic. I rediscover in my closet the habit I learned early, from my mother who worked so hard to support us both, from my grandmother who immigrated at the age of four and grew up poor: grab it while it's on sale! But there was no caution against too-muchness. Now, I am putting aside whatever I don't absolutely love for a girl in the neighborhood who is collecting clothing for older girls. Maybe we should begin regular neighborhood swaps of clothing, household goods, books, art supplies; and regular collections of the excess of some of us for the others who need.
Zalman was always so happy to give me something, small or large, that delighted me. I know that I have kept many of these items of clothing because they carry his love and generosity. Those qualities do not diminish, but multiply when given. Still...each garment carries the memory of when and where it was acquired; and if it is gone, will I still remember? (Of course, as I get older, the question veers towards Will I still remember anything?)
(Oh, I miss him.)
Parting with anything he gave me feels like saying goodbye to him all over again. Then I think of the delight with which he gave. I ask to borrow that delight so that I can pass on the items which still hold, I hope, the love with which they were once given and received.
Blessings of this last day of the first week of counting the Omer: Malchut she-b'Chesed

EAMONN Holmes put on a flirty display with Love Island's Laura Anderson as she appeared on This Morning today.
The 29-year-old reality star previously admitted she fancied the telly host and couldn't have looked happier to be interviewed by him.
They got on so well that Eamonn, 58, planned to take Laura out for lunch after the show finished – leaving his wife Ruth looking unimpressed.
Asked why she thought Eamonn and Ruth were couple goals, she said: ""I just think you guys are so funny together! Obviously Eamonn makes you laugh, and obviously I've always loved This Morning and I think you guys are amazing!"
Eamonn then made her day by going in for a hug at the end of the chat, while Paul Knops moved over to sit with Ruth.
The telly star thanked Laura for her comments in the villa, telling her: "You made an old man very happy!"
During the chat, Laura was also quizzed about whether she and Paul Knops were officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
The pair skirted around the issue, with Laura saying: "We are exclusively seeing each other. There is a lot of pressure on us."
Paul added: "Typically we are, essentially we are."
They also denied they were moving in together with Laura revealing she is househunting in London and planned to live near Paul.
Laura previously revealed that Eamonn had slid into her DMs after she left the villa in second place.
She revealed: "He just said, 'Thanks for the love and the support.' And that was it. It was a nice thing!"
Laura shocked her fellow contestants when she admitted her secret crush on Love Island, saying: "Oh, I really fancy Eamonn Holmes."
"I just love him and Ruth and I think they're so cute together."
Last week it emerged Laura has had a series of cosmetic procedures since leaving the villa – including having her lips plumped, cheek fillers and liquid rhinoplasty.
The 29-year-old had got her fans talking after she unveiled an impressive pout online after paying a visit to The Consultant Clinic on London's Harley Street to have a "few tiny tweaks"

Your business's online presence is a key element looking forward into the future
Evolution in the last few years shows what are the trends that are going to impact the XXI century. You don't have to be Einstein to guess that this trend is related with technology and the digital world.
If we traveled to the past, like 15 years ago, few people would imagine that the vast majority of people would have a profile in the social networks or that almost all businesses would have a website.
Mostly because 15 years ago facebook didn't exist and smartphones weren't common yet so people could connect to the internet from anywhere.
Back in the day it wasn't necessary to have an online presence. However, nowadays if your business is not on the internet you are 'no one'.
Young millennials and future generations function through the internet.
If they want to know about your business or service before buying, they are going to check out your website and see if you are convincing.
If you are not convincing then they will probably end up buying from your competitors.
Having an updated and modern digital image is a challenge. To achieve it you have to renew your website, services, and contents every now and then.
The issue is that the website you payed so much money and dedicated so much time to create the contents some years ago is probably obsolete. It isn't just because how websites evolve and their trends, but also because your business is not the same as 5 years ago.
Your business and work change throughout time. If you dont update all those changes, clients may think that you have not changed. That you are stuck in the same place you have been for sometime offering the same stuff without any improvements.
If you want to keep a fresh and renew digital image then it is important to take care of your online presence.
My name is Jorge Alonso Monzón and I am from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
I studied Philosophy and a minor in Computer Science in Boston , USA.
Then I came back to Gran Canaria to get trained and work as a professional coach for 2 years.
In the meantime I was always kept interest in the digital world, and that inspired me to create my website and to work on my personal brand.
Ever since I start with online marketing I learned an important lesson.
There is a gap between the new working force and the people who have more experience. Nothing new here.
Some generations have been raised with a computer since they were little, and others had to adapt to the digital world as market´s necessities shifted.
Therefore, I feel that those who like to work on digital marketing can contribute to the digital transformation of businesses.
My mission is to share what I have learned about digital presence in a simple and transparent way. To give you ideas that help you improve your online presence away from the fake digital marketing "experts".
- Share ideas. Sharing is caring and everyday there's something new to learn. Creating value for others by sharing knowledge is a wonderful idea. I learn from you and you may learn from me!
- Simplicity and transparency. There are some 'tricks' that benefit those who sell products on the internet. One of them is to keep the reader engaged reading empty content that doesn't bring anything new to the table and that is repeated with different words. For me that is not transparent because it takes advantage over people. My goal is to create valuable content in a simple way.
- Away from the fake. In the internet world a lot of people are only looking for their personal benefit, and they would do anything to get your money. I have also been a victim of those valueless products. So one of my values is to share truthful information even though it does not mean that I won't make any mistakes.
Want to know more?
If you are interested in what I'm saying, then you can check out my services.
Also you can get to know more about myself and my story.
Read the blog where I share info about what I've learned.

Samhita Mukhopadhyay
When I heard that this editor-of-the-moment wore ELOQUII to her interview with Anna Wintour, I had a double take. Samhita is the epitome of an in-charge woman and felt the most confident in one of our dresses - one that matched her new Gucci handbag, she added smiling. See her fully empowered radiance revealed on set during our Spotlight shoot.
Samhita Mukhopadhyay on Fashion & Feminism
One NYC-based editor and author makes her move to a white-hot title in hopes that she can cement her life's work of elevating diverse and disenfranchised voices. Hear how she goes forth with equal doses grit and glamour.
You might not know from editor Samhita's portfolio that fashion is a huge part of her life. For the last decade, she's written extensively about the cultural moments and identity politics that are shaping society. Now, she's taking that conversation to the ultimate media company, Condé Nast. This all aligns with her 40th birthday, a year when she seems to be hitting her stride – both professionally, as Teen Vogue's newest Executive Editor and with a forthcoming book in progress, and personally,as she moves into her first "big-girl apartment" and prioritizes a stronger sense of self-care.
Balance doesn't always come easy to the highly motivated. "The work is what's giving me energy," says Samhita, who takes our call between last-minute meetings on her Summer Friday. She promises to evaluate her habits this year, so she can maintain a level of rigor in the career she's created and loves. It's an important task given her calling: to create a space where diverse, disenfranchised voices can be safe, heard and elevated. Her passion is what drives her to invest completely in the magazine's on-the-pulse stories. It's also why the first thing she does at home at 7:00am each day is read the news and make sure they have the right coverage going live, hence the July 2018 feature "I am America" with Muslim model Halima Aden wearing her hijab. "Teen Vogue is really in an exciting place right now. We are very much the voice of a generation. It's super woke, messy, and complicated. It's a sounding board for all the different anxieties and the things that our readers are excited about and the things that have been top of mind for them. No outlet has given space to empower these young people," says the engaged editor.
Her passion for cultural expressions is also what fosters her appreciation for fashion.
She knows fashion is another way to showcase identity, politics and subculture. That's why she had purple hair in her Riot Grrrl days, her own looks in her rave days, and sheer tops as a streetwear look now. While Samhita's look has evolved, it's always been unapologetic. This summer, you'll find her in the downtown office in mostly 70s-glamour looks with hip-hop touches. Think: a flowy dress with a mule or bodysuits, high-waisted pants and platform sneakers. "I have my way but I incorporate modern elements," she reinforces. "Fashion is a huge part of my life and has been for a while. At Teen Vogue, feminism and fashion are not in tension with each other."
This was the sentiment she represented in her interview with Condé Nast's Artistic Director Anna Wintour. Samhita knew the unsaid rules going in: nothing in Anna's long-rumored least favorite color — black. Instead, why not an ELOQUII dress and matching Gucci handbag? "I wanted something flattering and I wanted to represent a brand that I felt was doing something new," recalls Samhita, who clearly impressed at the one-on-one.
She's rolling with a multitude of changes since taking the job. A new team to mentor. A new apartment with an elevator and a gym. A new decade.
Like all aspects of her life, she took on her 40th birthday this year in style. For example, she co-hosted the gala afterparty for the Ms. Foundation, a nonprofit foundation building women's collective power for social, economic and reproductive justice. Her friend encouraged her to do it by saying, "Dancing with Gloria Steinem is your party!" She takes the organization's mission to heart and tries to empower people in every role she's had at Mic, Feministing.com, and her other outlets. "I have navigated a lot of spaces that were competitive, or toxic or lacking mentorship and I have always stuck to what I believed was right. I never take shortcuts or play games. I sit in my integrity. I always try to be really compassionate and integrate other people's feedback," says Samhita. This explains why people respect her and look to her unique voice on pressing issues. It's no wonder her team has labeled her "auntie" for her sage advice. And it's no wonder she's got a new place to call her own and a new seat at the table.
What was your first ELOQUII purchase?
A 70s-style, flutter-sleeve dress for my Teen Vogue interview.
Who are your style icons?
Rihanna because she doesn't care and she flaunts her body
Nadia Aboulhosn (designer/blogger), she's gorgeous
Nicolette Mason and Gabi Fresh who I look up to
Name a look you've felt your best in.
A gorgeous evening-wear gown on the night I turned 40
What's the style palette?
Earth tones. Oranges, deep reds, and turquoises.
What trends are you rocking this season?
The platform sneaker. I wear it with a blue wide-leg ELOQUII pant that flares and flutters.
Love what you see? Samhita previews some of our exciting fall debuts (a sneak peek just for you!). Shop some of the styles available now (like this amazing blazer dress and this duster) and all of our newest arrivals for your own "Vogue" moment!

What 2017 Taught Me + Playlist.
I think we can all agree that 2017 was trash. More than half the time, I couldn't distinguish what was a real-life headline and what was from The Onion. Nonetheless, it's been a year of accomplishments, adventures, and the occasional emotional breakdown. This year, I graduated undergrad, took four trips, and started my first full-time job. I spent this week reflecting on the past 12 months. While I didn't cross everything off my 17 Things To Do in 2017 list, I grew into the person I want to be. That's always the goal. I won't be setting a resolution for 2018 or making a list; I'm carrying the lessons of 2017 into the new year. In the words of my president, "I think I really like who I'm becoming."
Oh and check out my little playlist. It's a mix of songs that directly relate to the lessons and ones that I just kept on repeat for weeks and weeks,. Let me know what you think!
In 2017 I learned:
1. Just because you can handle it, doesn't mean you have to. And on the days you can't, crying doesn't make you weak. Tune into your emotions; everything you feel is valid and anyone who tells you different can kick rocks.
2. Don't forget to celebrate your accomplishments. I know you always want to do more but it's okay to sit still.
3. There will be days where the only thing on your 'To Do List' is to pick up champagne to make mimosas with your best friend. Don't question it.
4. You can and will make homes out of more places than one. You can turn bare walls and 1,000 square feet into a home with the right people.
5. Your success doesn't have to look like everyone else's. Trust the process, trust your process, and move at your own pace.
6. Nothing good can come from finding her Instagram. It won't make you feel any better and what you think is great about her doesn't take anything away from you.
7. Quit over-analyzing every move. Book a flight and worry about the planning later. Start working on the projects you're sitting on. Just start somewhere.
8. Having it together is a cycle, not a constant. You'll go weeks without hitting any PR's, or even stepping foot in a gym. There'll be weeks where you eat pizza and donuts and forget what broccoli tastes like. Let the cycles come as they will.
9. You don't have to wait for anyone to do the things you want. Whether it's traveling across the country or a trip to NYC, you can do it by yourself and will be glad you did.
10. And finally, embrace transitions. Acknowledge your growth while still being open to take it to new heights. The part of self-love and self-growth that no one talks about is how knowing better doesn't always mean you do better. Take the lessons of 2017, the ones you've mastered and the ones that still need work, and cultivate them until they become second-nature to the woman you want to be, the woman you are, the woman you're supposed to be.
What did this year teach you? What and who are you leaving in 2017?

Tracing on Silicon Labs EFM32PG12
This article describes how to get started with trace on the Silicon Labs EFM32PG12 MCU. This article assumes that there is already a basic knowledge about trace in general (what is trace, what different implementations of trace are there, etc.). If this is not the case, we recommend to read Trace chapter in the J-Link User Manual (UM08001). The Silicon Labs EFM32PG12 MCU implements tracing via pins , so a J-Trace can be used for tracing.
Minimum requirements
In order to use trace on the Silicon Labs EFM32PG12 devices, the following minimum requirements have to be met:
- J-Link software version V6.20d or later
- Ozone V2.46a or later (if streaming trace and / or the sample project from below shall be used)
- J-Trace PRO for Cortex-M HW version V1.0 or later
Sample project
Streaming trace
The following sample project is designed to be used with J-Trace PRO and Ozone to demonstrate streaming trace. The project has been tested with the minimum requirements mentioned above and a EFM32 Pearl Gecko PG12 Starter Kit. The sample project comes with a pre-configured project file for Ozone that runs out-of-the box. In order to rebuild the sample project, SEGGER Embedded Studio can be used.
Note: The example is shipped with a compiled .JLinkScriptfile, should you need the original source it can be requested at email@example.com
To create your own .JLinkScriptfile you can use the following project as reference: Tracing on SEGGER_Cortex-M_Trace_Reference_Board
The EFM32PG12 product family has additional pins that can be used for tracing. Usually only 5 Pins are mapped to have the trace functionality. In this case however multiple pinout configurations are possible over different ports even. Should you be using our trace example make sure your physical tracepin connections are equal to the ones on the evaluation board used in the example. If not adjust the pin initialization accordingly.
Tested Hardware
Reference trace signal quality
The following pictures show oscilloscope measurements of trace signals output by the "Tested Hardware" using the example project. All measurements have been performed using a Agilent InfiniiVision DSO7034B 350 MHz 2GSa/s oscilloscope and 1156A 1.5 GHz Active Probes. If your trace signals look similar on your trace hardware, chances are good that tracing will work out-of-the-box using the example project. More information about correct trace timing can be found at the following website.
Rise time
The rise time of a signal shows the time needed for a signal to rise from logical 0 to logical 1. For this the values at 10% and 90% of the expected voltage level get used as markers. The following picture shows such a measurement for the trace clock signal.
Setup time
The setup time shows the relative setup time between a trace data signal and trace clock. The measurement markers are set at 50% of the expected voltage level respectively. The following picture shows such a measurement for the trace data signal 0 relative to the trace clock signal.

BRADFORD, Pa. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's basketball team will look to bounce back at Hilbert Wednesday in an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference game.
Pitt-Bradford is coming off a tough defeat against Mount Aloysius Saturday, which moved its AMCC record to 4-2.
Heading into the week, Hilbert sits second in the conference with a 5-1 AMCC mark, a game ahead of the third-place Panthers. La Roche is top in the conference at 6-1.
On the season, Pitt-Bradford has four scorers that average double-figure point totals: Shaelyn Snipes (14.9), Shirleah Ragin (12.7), Jennifer Isenberg (11.9) and Latifah Cain (11.1).
Ragin's 17.5 points per game average in conference play ranks fourth in the AMCC.
Isenberg is the third-best rebounder in the conference, pulling in 9.7 boards per game. Her 14 blocked shots against conference opponents rank second in the AMCC.
Pitt-Bradford has fared well on the road in conference play so far this season, coming away with wins in all three of its AMCC contests away from the KOA Arena.
Hilbert owns the top scoring defense in the AMCC and the 86th-best nationally, holding teams to just 56.7 points per game. Conference opponents are averaging 54.8 points per game against the Hawks.
On the boards, the Hawks lead the conference in rebounding margin (+3.3) on the season and +6.8 against conference opponents.
Katelyn Proy is the second-best shot blocker in the country with 43 total blocks (3.31 per game). She's also fifth in the conference in rebounding with 8.9 boards per game.
Taylor Corts is third in the AMCC averaging 15.6 points per game for the Hawks.
Wednesday's 6 p.m. contest will be the first of a doubleheader with the men's matchup coming after.

learning robot Answered
hey guys. friend and i are working on a project. we are trying to build a robot that will basically be able to follow a path. if there are obstacles in front it will go around them and then continue to the finishing point. no we also want it to learn about its surrounding. so if we bring the robot back to its starting point it will be able to get to the finish with out bumping into objects.
we are planing to adopt this robot here https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-wall-avoiding-Robot!/?ALLSTEPS
what do u guys think is it possible and if so how.
the robot will learn by creating a grid in its memory using multi-dimensional arrays.

A Friend of Unfair Park who teaches in the Dallas Independent School District directs our attention to school board trustee Carla Ranger's blog, because we missed last night's post concerning a proposal to trim teachers' minimum contracts from two years to one. (The max, incidentally, appears to be five.) Writes Ranger in her introduction to a teacher's plea:
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The latest proposal to cut teacher contracts from two years to one may further weaken teacher confidence and create greater teacher fear. Teachers crippled by fear are inhibited from doing their best work and teacher morale suffers.
My belief is that good teachers are more important than Trustees, a Superintendent, or top staff. Teachers ought to be able to teach in a District that respects the very important role they will always play in student achievement.
It appears this proposal may not be supportive of teachers who are sometimes blamed and held accountable for everything.

what family cant use an Idea as this in this electronic world.
Fun Stuff To Do
"I'm Bored" Jar
We've been on break for a few weeks now. Are the kids starting to get a little restless?
It may be time to introduce the "I'm Bored" jar or the "There's Nothing To Do" jar. It is what it sounds like – a jar with slips of paper listing activities for your children to do. The (changeable upon your preferences) rules are if Mom catches you saying anything along the lines of stating boredom, you must take one slip from the "I'm Bored" jar and perform that activity.
The goal is not to punish your children, but to encourage them to come up with activities on their own and avoid just laying around complaining of nothing to do or about what you pick out.
Customize your activities and the times for your family based on age and surroundings.
The list of activities in this jar:
Go for a walk around the block
Take the dog for a walk.
Practice ball toss for tennis – 50 times
Run up and down driveway 5 times (it's a long driveway)
Go on Kahn Academy (academic website)
Complete 2 handwriting sheets

TEXAS, United States, Thursday June 30, 2016 – International oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil Corporation says that drilling results from a second exploration well off Guyana, confirm a world-class discovery with a recoverable resource of between 800 million and 1.4 billion oil-equivalent barrels.
The well is one of two Liza wells located in the 6.6 million-acre Stabroek block, approximately 120 miles offshore Guyana. Data from the successful Liza-2 well test is being assessed.
"We are excited by the results of a production test of the Liza-2 well, which confirms the presence of high-quality oil from the same high-porosity sandstone reservoirs that we saw in the Liza-1 well completed in 2015," said Steve Greenlee, president of Exxon Mobil Exploration Company.
"We, along with our co-venturers, look forward to continuing a strong partnership with the government of Guyana to further evaluate the commercial potential for this exciting prospect."
Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is operator and holds 45 percent interest in the Stabroek block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30 per cent interest and CNOOC Nexen Petroleum Guyana Limited holds 25 per cent interest.
The Liza-2 well was drilled by ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd., approximately two miles from the Liza-1 well.

My desktop is pretty spartan in appearance, but rich in functionality:
2560x1024 PNG, 867k
All my real work and web browsing etc takes place below the top 103 pixels of the display; the top area is reserved for controls and status monitors.
You can see in this screen shot:
I don't hold with visual clutter like window titles, icons for hidden windows, cascaded or "shaded" windows, icons for widgets (eg CDROMs etc) and so forth. My layout is quite disciplined: windows are almost always quarter screen or full height half screen, occasionally full screen (for wide log listings or poorly designed web pages).
In consequence window manipulation is very easy. Most is keyboard driven. Alt plus the following keys do:
I also keep an arbirarily large list of named desktops for specific projects in my "Named Desktops" menu. This is maintained by my desktop script, which I generally call via the wrapper script "nd". So fto go to my "FVWM" project desktop I'd just go to that shell window at the top of my screen and type:
nd FVWMor pull up the desktops menu with Alt-D and choose the "FVWM" entry. A new named desktop is made on the fly if the name is new. Correspondingly, there's a "push to desktop" menu to push a window to a nmed desktop, invoked by typing Alt-P over the window to be pushed.
Most of my menus are automaticly generated on the fly using FVWM's DynamicPopUpAction facility which will run an FVWM command prior to popping up a menu. Generally that will be my "fvwm-menu" script with suitable arguments, which tears down the current menu definition and builds a new one with the right content, including the requirement to do this again next time the menu is popped up. fvwm-menu in turn called a specified command to emit the menu contents. See the AutoMenu function in my fvwmrc and the menu definitions immediately below it.
You will notice that most entries have keyboard equivalents beside them. This is because I've adopted the habit of adding key bindings only via an FVWM function with both defines the key binding and makes an entry in a menu for it with the key description as you see here. See the KeyFn function in my fvwmrc. In this way if I forget some obscure key combination I am guarrenteed still to be able to access it from a menu.
The PopImDir function defines a menu by reading from fvwm-menu and then pops it up. Fvwm-menu in turn calls fvwm-menu-imlist with the directory and image selection command as arguments.
Fvwm-menu-imlist is a little complicated. It first generates menu entries to run itself on the parent directory and any subdirectory. Then for each image it checks to see if there's a thumbnail present. If there isn't, a background job is dispatched to make it because waiting for this in a large directory is very tedious. Regardless, a menu entry is made for each image that uses the thumbnail if present. In this way there probably will be thumbnails on subsequent visits.
google funky search hereThis invokes a wrapper script which fires up a browser window with the search in it. It also logs the URL invoked to a file. This menu item presents my more recent searches for reuse.

Meet: Becky Worley
Television correspondent makes tech talk easy.
Portrait by Shaun Fenn
Becky Worley's commute takes her from her home in Oakland to millions of homes across America—instantly. The technology contributor for Good Morning America wakes up at 3:30 a.m., puts on her makeup, and goes into her kitchen, where she opens her laptop and logs on to Skype. Within the hour, Worley is chatting with GMA hosts George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts about technology's latest trends.
"I have a job that did not exist five or 10 years ago," says Worley. "I set up my laptop camera and microphone, link to a regular broadband connection, and I'm on a network morning show broadcast live from coast to coast. And here's a secret: Often, I'm wearing my pajama pants when I'm on the air."
Sitting in a Peet's Coffee in Montclair, the 40-year-old Worley blends right in with the other East Bay moms. Her down-to-earth approachability may be the reason why, despite doing 50 live segments per year for five years as GMA's tech expert, she's only been recognized in public once. Worley is also Yahoo's top tech-lifestyle commentator, and she often streams segments about gadgets and websites. These various platforms are all part of a multimedia broadcasting career that has turned Worley into the Martha Stewart of technology.
"Technology is no longer for geeks; it's part of everyone's lifestyle now," says Worley. "But the information can still be overwhelming. I try to provide simple solutions to high-tech problems. Anytime I can help someone save money or time, I've done my job."
A good example is a recent episode of her Upgrade Your Life series on Yahoo, showing how to safeguard your smart phone against hackers and identity thieves.
Worley grew up in Maui. While working for a TV news station in Seattle in the late 1990s, she became fascinated with the fast-moving technology culture and quickly jumped into the field, which had been dominated by young men. She moved to the Bay Area to work for a program called Tech TV, before hosting National Geographic Channel's Mother of All and landing her gig at GMA. When she's not being a tech geek, she and her partner, Jane, and their three-year-old twins like to hike the East Bay trails.
Talking about technology and new inventions means that Worley is never at a loss for content. She digs into her purse and pulls out a pair of battery-operated jump rope handles. "These are ropeless jump ropes I need to test for a 20/20 special I am doing about infomercial products [airing in May]," Worley says, with a cheerful laugh. "I have a closet at home filled with egg boilers and Slankets for every occasion!"
Tech Tips
Favorite App: Find my iPhone for iPhones and iPads, or Lookout for Android, Blackberry, and Windows phones. If you lose your phone or tablet, you can find its GPS coordinates via an online account. If your device has been stolen, you can remove all your private info remotely.
Favorite New Gadget: Powerline's new Powercup Inverter, which plugs into your car's cigarette lighter, then provides two standard electrical plugs and a USB port. The best part: It looks just like a coffee cup.

Chances and General Advice
Posted by AAques7667 on May 15, 2017, 5:22 pm
I am an undergrad and want to apply to Emory, Nova, and South University. If anyone can give me some insight on what my chances are or if there is anything more I can do before applying that would be great! I really appreciate the advice!! Thank you so much in advance!! GPA: 3.4 Science GPA: 3.12 GRE: Q: 154 (64th percentile) V: 154 (55th percentile) Writing: 5/6 (93rd percentile)-I am retaking them to hopefully score higher LOR: My boss (I have been a clinical research assistant for the GI department for 3 years now), Latin Professor (I am minoring in classics with Latin), and Anesthesiologist whom I shadowed. -Took part in a 6 week summer clinical internship program -Part of the National Classics Honors Society and National Honors Society at my school -A little bit more than 100 hours of volunteering - I will be scribing for a year while I apply I currently have around 30 hours of shadowing an anesthesiologist but will be getting a few more hours. I am just worried because my GPA and GRE's are low and I don't have too many hours shadowing an anesthesiologist (am trying to get more hours of shadowing)! I really appreciate any advice! Thank you so much!!
Re: Chances and General Advice
Posted by mac8812 on May 16, 2017, 9:07 pm, in reply to "Chances and General Advice"
I'd say your chances are relatively good of getting an interview. My stats were a bit higher than yours, but very similar. I also applied to Emory, South, and Nova. I got interviews at all 3, attended the South & Emory interviews and got accepted to both. Ultimately, I chose to attend South. As you gear up to apply, I suggest getting some more shadowing hours and retaking the GRE. Your GRE scores (IMO) are good enough to get you interviews, but since you have time it will look good to the ADCOMs to be constantly improving your application. Also, really stand out in your personal statement and be very educated on what an AA is, what they do, and how dedicated you are to our profession. Good luck, you'll do great!

The New & Improved Levrets Ink
Hello, everyone! We are very excited to introduce not only our new logo but a new culture here at Levrets Ink Custom Screen Printing. This is what I'll be discussing in our first blog post.
To get started, what does "new culture" mean? Well, in our pursuit to be not only the best screen printers in Abilene, Texas (and one day the world! *insert maniacal laugh*) but to also provide the absolute best customer experience possible when it comes to purchasing custom printed apparel, we decided we needed to step up our game. Out of this bold decision came a new vision and mission for us to pursue every day. By pursuing our new vision, we changed the culture our business creates for our customers to experience. Before I explain in more depth, I'd like to share our new Mission/Vision statements with you:
At Levrets Ink Custom Screen Printing, we have a mission to be Texas' best, most respected screen printers.
We strive to provide the highest quality screen printing at the best price with fast turnaround times for our customers. We pledge to offer the friendliest, most proactive customer service while ensuring that each individual customer's specific needs are met. Through innovative technology and the never-ending promotion of creativity, we seek to empower individuals to unite their communities with the power of custom apparel.
Essentially, we want to be more focused on our customers and our community than simply making the most profit we possibly can. We want to strive to offer services that make our customer's lives easier and give back to this city we love.
So that all sounds great, but how do we walk the walk and not just talk the talk? I'm so glad you asked!
We now offer online stores for fundraising or for anyone who doesn't want the headache of collecting orders for their team or organization (check out our fundraising page for more info on that). We also are working towards hosting classes and other events for youth in our community with hopes of promoting the importance of arts and trade skills. We will be releasing more information on that after our remodel.
The last thing I'd like to discuss in this blog post (as I attempt to not make it too lengthy) is our new logo! I hope that if you are reading this then you have seen our new logo either on our social media platforms or on our brand spankin' new website! Below is our old logo and our new logo:
As you can see, we now have a unique color scheme along with several new elements to our logo. We wanted to make sure that every aspect of our new logo (and everything we do from now on) has a purpose. The color orange, our main color, is associated with and represents creativity, joy, enthusiasm, happiness, and freedom. Our secondary colors (gold and turquoise/blue) represent some of the same things that orange does but also courage, compassion, and friendship. These are all things that we want in our lives and want to promote as a company.
Our new tagline/slogan, "Create. Inspire. Unite." simplifies our mission and vision as Levrets Ink Custom Screen Printing. We want to create alongside each one of you to bring amazing works of art and kick butt custom clothing into the world we live in. Through our creation, we aspire to inspire others. Whether it be political, social, spiritual or personal, we want to aid you in bringing inspiration to those around you. Finally, we want to utilize our tools of creation and inspiration to unite our teams, our causes, our organizations, our communities and the world through the power of custom apparel. We at Levrets Ink Custom Screen Printing believe that we can do infinitely more together than apart.
We simply want to: Create. Inspire. Unite.
That's it for now. Thanks so much for taking the time to read our first blog post! Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram for more posts and other nifty content. Have a blessed day and never stop creating!

Ben Affleck is taking a while to get his Batman movie going. So how about we try to do something with Batman Nolan movies again? How could you keep that flame going? Well, I've got an idea and short lame fan fiction pitch to entertain you with.
We start off with confirming that Bruce Wayne is dead. Give some legitimacy to the fan theory that Alfred is just imagining seeing Bruce at the cafe at the end of the Dark Knight Rises. Jump forward a couple of years. It's the near future, so you can get away with some more advanced technology, though it's all realistic and fits the tone of the series.
Gotham has been turned into a police state thanks to the Dent Laws and new legislation introduced after the Dark Knight Rises to prevent anything like the Bane incident happening ever again. Crime is low thanks to surveillance laws and the police being militarised, and having more powers.
These powers can get abused with free speech being sacrificed for safety. Unpopular opinions are silenced, especially during elections. The economy is strong as the laws are used to the beneficial businesses and shut down any businesses that is going against the bigger agenda.
This is being manipulated by Hush, who is impersonating Bruce Wayne and has taken control of Wayne Industries. Using these funds, he charges villains to do his bidding and he funds the state to promote his twisted agenda and distract everyone from his plans.
Super villains exist. Though they kind of act like freedom fighters, with huge character flaws. They fight against an unjust system. They rob banks but they also expose government corruption and promote freedom of speech.The biggest leader is in this is The Riddler. A hacker and terrorist, who likes to expose the government, rob banks and take money unknowingly from Hush.
The Batman urban myth continued because of John Blake acting in the shadows with the aid of his three Knight-wings. His three Knight-wings include orphaned Chinese acrobat, Dick Grayson, hacktivist Tim Drake, and Jason Todd, a child he knew back at the orphanage he grew up at. Blake continued the war on crime and against people like the Riddler and other villains. However, Blake died a year ago taking down a cult terrorist cell of the Mad Hatter because of a suicide bombing.
When former Commissioner Gordon dies due to cancer, estranged daughter, Barbara Gordon must return to Gotham to attend his lonely funeral. She meets sleazy Commissioner Harvey Bullock who blindly follows the orders of the Court of Owls local government administration, who are looking to cleanse Gotham and create a paradise for the rich and useful.
Little does anyone know, Barbara has been working abroad as a black ops spy for the government taking down dictators and bad guys. She has become well traveled picking up many skills along the way working as part of the Bird of Prey unit of the CIA. She is fired when she kills a dictator that is sympathetic to the West, making ends meet with shady back alley MMA fights.
Tracking down a back alley tournament in Gotham. She takes part. The fight is broken up by the police. She manages to escape but she encounters the Knight-Wings, who are lost without Batman. Curious about the Knight-Wings, and disliking what Gotham has become, she tracks them down.
She offers to join them. Her plan; to become Batman. Someone she was inspired by as a child. She fights back against the system and struggles to know what to do next, with many villains and plots points for loads of sequels that can be used.

No doubt, Pennsylvania's got some amazing things.
But the world's oldest wooden roller coaster? Yep, we got that — it's Leap the Dips at Lakemont Park in Altoona, which reopens to the public after more than two years of renovations.
In March 2017, Lakemont announced it was closing for renovations. Well, the upgrades are done, and the park is set to reopen to the public on Saturday.
The park's updates focus on outdoor recreation — with two new miniature golf courses, two sand volleyball courts, four basketball courts, and state-of-the-art go-carts.
"We feel we're going back to the roots of what Lakemont Park used to be when it was established almost 125 years ago," Andrea Devorris Cohen, whose family co-owns Lakemont Park, told WTAJ. "We're going to be making it a place where the community will want to be.
But the rides are still there — the Skyliner coaster, Tin Lizzy automobiles, the train, the Lil' Leaper kiddie coaster, the waterslides and splash park, and the oldest wooden coaster in the world: Leap the Dips.
Check out the new park layout:
Leap the Dips was built in 1902 and operated continuously at Lakemont Park in Altoona until 1985, when it fell into disrepair. A campaign was organized to restore it, and the ride reopened to the public in 1999.
At only 41 feet tall, Leap the Dips isn't particularly death-defying. And it maxes out at 10 miles per hour. However, being as old as it is, there are no seat belts or lap bars — so there's that for death-defying.
Wanna know what it's like to ride Leap the Dips?
"There's been so many people that have put so much time and effort and work into this plan, and trying to get it done," Melissa Vyborny, the parks' general manager, told WJAC. "So we will be excited to have it all finished."
All-day Ride, Splash and Play passes are $19.95 (free for kids 2 and under), while evening passes, after 5 p.m., are $14.95. Sadly, Leap the Dips won't open for rides until June, per Lakemont's Facebook page.
As far as the other "oldest roller coasters," Pennsylvania's got five of the Top 12 — and three of them are at Kennywood.
1. Leap The Dips – 1902; Lakemont Park, Altoona
2. Wild One/Giant Coaster – 1917; Six Flags America, Upper Marlboro, Md.
3. Jack Rabbit – 1920; Kennywood, West Mifflin
-. Jack Rabbit – 1920; Seabreeze, Rochester, N.Y.
5. Roller Coaster – 1921; Lagoon, Farmington, Utah
6. Thunderbolt/The Pippin – 1924; Kennywood, West Mifflin
-. Giant Dipper – 1924; Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, Calif.
-. ThunderHawk – 1924; Dorney Park, Allentown
9. Giant Dipper – 1925; Belmont Park, San Diego
10. Racer – 1927; Kennywood, West Mifflin
-. Wildcat – 1927; Lake Compounce, Bristol, Conn.
-. Cyclone – 1927; Luna Park at Coney Island, Brooklyn, N.Y.

US wealth gap increasing
The wealth gap in the USA is the worst since the Gilded Age, writes Gus Lubin in this Business Insider article, complete with 15 charts to anger and/or sicken us.
Unlike many other nations (France is shown, in chart 13), where the wealth gap is not increasing, the richest people in the USA now control the largest percentage of wealth since the Roaring Twenties. Half of the folks in the USA, combined, own a mere 2.5% of the country's wealth; the top 1% owns a third.
Real average earnings are about where they were a half-century ago (adjusted to 2008 dollars, the average hourly wage in 1964 was $17.54; in 2008 it was $18.52). CEOs and business owners have seen their income triple and double, respectively--and the wealthy have paid less and less in taxes. Normalized to 1979, the top 1% has had its share of US wealth more than double; the top 10% has kept even--and the bottom 90% has seen its share shrink.
Yet people are still worried that the U.S. is perilously close to socialism?!

I love spending time in New York City, even when every waking hour seems to be consumed with rehearsing and practicing. I had a two hour lunch break today so I went for a short run. The temperature was perfect and the sun out part of the time. My track, the reservoir path near the top of the park. My music, an odd mix of Zac Brown and Hadag Nahash.
I didn't eat enough for breakfast and I think a good lunch might have been smarter than running and cramming down food on my way uptown because I was exhausted and tired all afternoon. My heart rate was high from the start, most likely from hunger and not enough sleep last night. I am feeling pretty run down but also like my exercise is what will get me through the next week in a fairly sane fashion.
The workout:
track or treadmilll
5 min easy job warmup
3 min quick pace/ 2 min easy jog x 5
5 min cool down, walking lunges (forward and backward), toe/heel walking to prevent shin splints
HR in zone 4 & 5 the entire time
Nikken wellness:
greenzymes to start my day
kenko therm knee and wrist wraps after standing and playing all day
magsteps to soothe my feet at the end of the day
magnetic sport bracelet very lightweight while I practice, easy to wash after a workout

Affiliate Member William Henry Agustas Fitz Strathern 5th April 1844
Candidate's Name Brother William Henry Augustas Fitz Strathern
Other Offices of Lodge Kirkwall Kilwining No 38/2 Island of Pomona Orkney
Affiliated Member 5th April 1844
RWM of the Celtic Brother Andrew Murray 1844
Brother William Henry Augustus Fitz Strathern had the honor of being secretary to a Masonic Lodge when he was very young the light having beamed on him in 1811 in the Lodge Kilwining of Kirkwall Island of Pomona whose charter No 45 bears the date 1st December 1740 Which makes him an old member of the architectural craft and he may add that he was made a Brother expressly for filling the situation of secretary since that remote period he has visited English and Irish Lodges in both of which Kingdoms he has been affiliated in the mystic art and has therefore had much experience in Masonry and science of calligraphy many of the brightest gems of the Celtic Lodge were affiliated Brethren among others Brother Murray excellent PM whose influential devotion to Masonry is the admiration of all present there is also Brother The Honorable Captain Joycelyn who deservedly occupies the highest positions in the lodge under whose command and wholesome instruction he need hardly say they all feel most happy in illustration on this important point affiliated members in some cases may be compared to say many small brooks contributing unity and strength to the magnificent current of the Brotherhood like the tributary streams that flow into a mystic river without hydraulic assistance it's waters could never have assumed it's mighty power nor reach the ocean in such force the volumes of records were given into the possession of Brother Fitz Strathern with instructions to draw up the minutes to issue circulars for monthly meetings and other attendances for which he should receive a remuneration corresponding to the salary voted to the secretary for the performance of his duties to the lodge Brother Fitz Strathern then took the oath De Fideli Adminis Trationi officii and did homage to the chair and afterwards to the brethren Thereafter Brother Konrad Jockel respectfully stated to the lodge that he had served his full time in the two degrees of Masonry and therefore now humbly requested the honor to be elevated to the third degree which request having been considered just and reasonable as a recompense due too zeal diligence and capacity Brother Jockel was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason and was then conducted to the east when the RWM commanded him to take his station among the brethren Brother Jockel then made his obeisance to the oriental chair and Worshipful Wardens and returned his grateful thanks to the lodge for the brilliant lanthorn of knowledge that had been revealed unto him in answer to the mystic question put by the RWM in the east to the JW whose duty it is to watch and report the glorious luminary sum announce that it was high meridian when the RWM gave orders that the brethren might for a short time enjoy rest and take refreshment with due dimensions and this was done accordingly not long after there arrived a Brother Celt from the far East Indies where he had been in service of Her Britannic Majesty as he had not been in the lodge for five years he was cordially welcomed and on his health being drunk with Masonic Honours he returned his grateful thanks and made the following brief speech most Worshipful and honourable brethren during my absence I have been in various parts of Asia and I am proud to say that in my travels in that vast region I have found Masonry to be of the greatest advantage to me and I bear evidence that Masonry is in the ascendant in foreign parts after having been so long away I feel uncommonly happy to be seated again in my maternal lodge and to be so kindly noticed on this occasion there is only one thing that lessens my joy and it is this when I cast my enquiring eye around me in search of my former associates I observe that very few of those excellent Masters of the craft who made me a Mason are present. Perhaps some of them like father Hiram and Brother Burns the poet have passed that bourn from whence no traveller returns. On the other hand it affords me great pleasure to observe in the lodge this evening many happy new faces of young brethren whose open intelligent countenances bespoke benevolent hearts one of the best attributes of the true disciples to the mystic tye. He therefore begged leave to offer his warmest congratulations for this increase of Celtic members and he sincerely hoped that the lodge would flourish in wisdom strength and beauty and he craved permission to dedicate a flowing bumper to all his brother Celts and success to the boundless elements of fraternity in Masonry was granted him to drink the toast amidst great demonstration of brethren. Brother Donaldson always animated with noble feelings towards music and masons favoured the lodge with excellent sentiments and a few of his choice songs in his usual superior style to irresistibly applause. Brother McCormick and several other members followed with English Irish and Scottish carols which added to the hilarity and entertainment of the brethren. The lodge then resumed their work and terminated in a rational and social manner precisely at high twelve the RWM PM closed the lodge with the usual solemnities of Masonry. Please see our History of the Celtic Lodge. wjrb.
