Is photosynthesis possible on the Moon? Indian students are finding out
A brother-sister duo from Kolkata are sending an experiment on photosynthesis to the moon on Team Indus spacecraft, set to be launched by year end.india Updated: Mar 30, 2017 12:02 IST
Santosh Roychowdhury, 25, remembers the exact moment he fell in love with the universe. As a child, he spent a night camping on the roof of their house in Kolkata to watch a meteor shower. "I was awake looking at thousands of shooting stars, then a beautiful sunrise followed and that was the moment when I truly fell in love with the universe," he recalled, explaining what drove him to participate in a competition to place an experiment on the moon on India's first privately funded moon mission.
Roychowdhury's team, Team ZΩi, won the second prize in the Lab2Moon competition hosted by Team Indus, a Bangalore-based space startup sending the spacecraft. That spacecraft will host Team ZΩi's experiment to observe photosynthesis in cyanobacteria on the moon.
"It is one of the most challenging problems now trying to find out how to sustain this fragile phenomenon called life in the harsh conditions of space and extraterrestrial environments like Moon, Mars and beyond," Roychowdhury, who has a masters in Theoretical Physics and hopes to pursue a PhD in cosmology.
In recent years, the prospect of life beyond earth has begun to feel less like science fiction and more like a scientific quest. NASA announced this month the discovery of a cluster of planets in a nearby star system that has as many as three potentially habitable planets.
"For our survival it is absolutely essential that we step outside our comfort zone and become a multi-planetary species," according to the young scientist.
The TeamIndus moon mission is potentially groundbreaking in its own right. If it is successful it will become the first private Indian startup to land a craft on the moon. They are finalists in Google's Lunar X challenge, which requires teams to land a spacecraft on the moon and guide it for 500 metres, all the while transmitting high definition video and images to earth. The teams are competing for prizes worth US$30 million.
In June 2016, TeamIndus organised the Lab2Moon competition allowing youngsters to devise experiments that would be included on their moon mission. The final results were announced earlier this year and Roychowdhury's team won the second prize. An Italian team came in first.
Roychowdhury did not have to look far to find a partner to enter into the competition. His sister, Sukanya Roychowdhury, is a science lover like him and in his own words a"super genius." But inspiration and support also came from afar. About two years ago Roychowdhury connected with Autumn Conner, 24, a graduate student at Arizona State University, at an online physics forum, and very soon they discovered their common interest in space exploration.
They brought Conner on board. The association with Conner had another fortuitous result. The cyanobacteria they wanted to put on the moon are very rare, they are found in only three places: Antarctica, Atacama desert and some deserts in Israel. Fortunately, ASU had batches of the bacteria that the team received access to.
Their experiment, that will be housed in a solar can, 110 millimetres in height, 65 mm in diameter and weighing 250 grams. The contraption will host the cyanobacteria, a nutrient medium in which they can survive, sensors and regulators providing all necessary conditions for photosynthesis for the bacteria. The only thing that will be uncontrolled will be the sunlight.
Once they make the lunar landing, the cyanobacteria will be released into the medium and closely monitored for photosynthetic activity, utilising the carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
Their hopes for the experiment go beyond being able to show that photosynthesis can happen on the moon. In the future these cyanobacteria might help sustain extraterrestrial settlements, Roychowdhury hopes, maybe other species could survive these conditions by genetically modifying them to incorporate genes of these bacteria.
While their aspirations are out of the world the challenges the brother-sister duo faced in pursuit of their passions were more commonplace. Their father is a school teacher and mother is a homemaker. "Getting to this has not been easy coming from a lower middle-class family with everyone insisting on money and job being more important than passion and dream," Roychowdhury said.
Their parents came onboard but their grandfather took the most convincing that his grandchildren would not become engineers but were rather interested in pursuing pure sciences. When he came around, he asked Roychowdhury for one thing, to aim to win two Nobel prizes, one for the sciences and one for peace, to use his knowledge for the benefit of humanity.
His grandfather passed away from cancer a few years ago, but, Roychowdhury said his words continue to guide him in his pursuits. "I know there are thousands if not millions like me, Autumn and my sister, who want to do something for the world who want to understand the world a little better but who might be facing a lot of problems or are discouraged from following their dreams," he said. "All we want to tell them is never give up."

Dean wants to bring Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, to UCF
Within the scientific community, Elon Musk is something of a rockstar.
Currently, Musk runs two major companies, Space X, a private company that creates and launches rockets and other spacecraft, and Tesla Motors Inc, an innovative car company that manufactures and sells electric vehicles.
And now UCF College of Business Administration Dean Paul Jarley wants to bring him to UCF.
Jarley hopes to expose business and engineering students to Musk's unique business philosophy. Host of UCF's Failure Competition, Jarley wants students to meet Musk so they can be inspired to take risks.
On his blog, Jarley wrote, "I want Elon Musk to come and give 20 minutes of inspiration on how failure leads to success to 10,000 UCF Business and Engineering students. Why? Because our students don't take enough smart risks. Fear of failure just might be the No. 1 enemy of college students today. Nobody has dreamed bigger, taken bolder actions and stared down failure more than Elon Musk."
SpaceX recently made history when its Falcon 9 delivered a spacecraft to orbit and returned to Earth intact, so that it could potentially fly again.
Musk and other space entrepreneurs see reusable rockets as the key to dramatically lowering the cost of access to space, FLORIDA TODAY reported, which could enable many more missions and even make human exploration of Mars a more realistic goal.
To help his cause, Jarley has started the #missiontomusk campaign on social media. He encourages students to spread the word to bring Musk to campus.

Film writer from the Advocate John Wirt comments on the nominees for the Academy Awards on Sunday night. Wirt feels that Selma was not presented to enough film critics to gain the proper traction for a nomination. He says the Imitation Game was the best film of the year. Though he thinks Michael Keaton will win best actor, Wirt says it should got to Benedict Cumberbatch. Wirt says, "Alan Turing was a hero in his own right."
"I think Brian Williams got kind of carried away with his own celebrity," Wirt says of the recent misrepresentation scandal.
Reverend David Diamond and Investigative Journalist John Camp discuss the Jimmy Swaggart scandal on its 27th anniversary. The tape of Jimmy Swaggart's confession to the world about his sex scandal is played.
"I think he <Swaggart> was somewhat surprised with how kind I was to him," Camp says.
"I was there in the back rooms with him... you'd be surprised what goes on in some of those back rooms," Diamond says.
They each comment on the wide reach Swaggart's ministry reaches through direct television.
Representative John Bel Edwards shares his plan for Louisiana should he be elected governor. He also comments on the campaign finance report.
Edwards begins, calling the Louisiana budget a "hot mess." He says, "Cutting higher education... we would be a generation trying to overcome the damage that would do to this state." He comments on the recent comments that Governor Jindal should abstain from a salary.
He comments on Medicaid and the amount of money hospitals need to be reimbursed.
Louisiana has the lowest cigarette taxes in the region and the third lowest in the country. Edwards says, "I would support a reasonable increase in cigarette taxes... such as the Texas average."
Edwards did vote for the pay raise in 2008.
"We really need to figure if TOPS Is a program we can continue to have," Edwards says. "The one thing that everyone should understand... every year unless we do something different the deficit is anticipated for $1 billion."
The representative calls David Vitter, "Jindal on steroids," and he calls Scott Angelle, "Jindal Incarnate."
"I'm going to have the resources I need to wage a very good and competitive campaign," Edwards continues, "I'm running because dammit it's time we had a governor that put Louisiana first... Do we want a third Jindal term?"
Representative Edwards graduated from West Point. "When you jump out of airplanes at 2 in the morning for a living, it prepares you for things in life."

A maternal assisted caesarean birth story - words by Leilani's mama Carley
"Leilani's birth journey was borne from the experiences that I had with our first and second children and also our third pregnancy.
Our eldest son's birth started with premature prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) at 36+3 and ended over 3 days later in a emergency caesarean for failure to progress. Our second son's birth I wanted it to be completely different so we planned a HBAC (Home Birth After Caesarean). This labour started at 40 weeks with prelabour rupture of membranes. I labored happily at home for the better part of a day but we had to transfer and it again ended in a caesarean for failure to progress. My third pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 11 weeks but I had wanted to plan another try for a VBAC with that pregnancy.
With my fourth pregnancy I was undecided about what I wanted to do. I never thought I would book an elective c-section. I was so torn. I desperately wanted a natural, vaginal birth. But the prior miscarriage made me so much more focused on the end result of the baby.
I wanted to make this birth as happy and positively empowering as it could be. With my prior history of PROM hindering my labours I ended up deciding that a maternal assisted Caesarean section (MAC) would be the best way of achieving the positive birth goal. I think I came to this decision by working out what I ultimately wanted out of any of my births.
I wanted to be able to put my brand new, wet and slippery baby on my chest! I think that is the best moment of any birth and something I never had with my boys. So I set out finding an Obstetrician (OB) who would support my decision. I also decided I wanted to have this birth documented by an amazing photographer, Belle.
The first OB I found who would allow a MAC worked in the public sector. But the public hospital wouldn't allow a photographer to be with us in theatre. So I found another OB with a very understanding midwife as part of his team. She helped advocate for us and was a huge help in getting the allowance from the private hospital to have our photographer in theatre with us. So we again relocated to Perth at 36 weeks just incase of PPROM.
Our OB was open to most of my requests: MAC, photographer in theatre, leaving the placenta attached and seeding.
We planned the caesarean for 39 weeks which I was happy with. On the morning of the 14th March 2017 we arrived at the hospital at 6am. Belle met us there. I was nervous but excited! We went through the checking in process which ended in the day of surgery unit where I changed into the hospital gown, did my vaginal swabs for seeding and readied everything we needed to take upstairs with us, the birth plan and a little crocheted cord tie. Belle and John got changed into their paper scrubs. I was starting to get much more nervous!
Thankfully I was first on the theatre list due to us having the MAC. The orderly came to wheel me up to theatre and she was lovely making us laugh a lot. More checks and then into the anaesthetic bay. The IV was put in my arm which confused me as I assumed I'd be needing to scrub. Then the epidural was placed and I was even more confused wondering how I'd wash up! Catheter was inserted and some jokes made about us having photos of the catheter being placed and then I was wheeled into theatre and transferred over to the operating table.
I reminded the theatre nurse that I was having a MAC and what about my gloves? She went and spoke to my OB and came back with some shoulder length red unsterile gloves and regular surgical gloves for over the top which the scrub nurse assisted me to put on. She prepped my belly while I held my hands up and then they draped. I had requested prior to this day, that the drape be down for the whole procedure but they put it up. I'm not sure if he forgot but I didn't really mind too much.
I was getting very nervous at this point and my husband John could tell. He was holding my hand and he leant closer to my face and was whispering, "just breathe" and coaching my breathing. I closed my eyes and listened to him and slowed my breathing and concentrated on that. Funnily enough, I'm a theatre nurse and I do not ever get queasy or nervous about other people's surgeries. But it was probably the thing that worried me the most about this birth; that I was planning this amazing MAC but what if I was so nervous that I couldn't go through with it on the day! My husband saved me here! Without him talking me through this part I would have had such an adrenaline surge that I would have been vomiting when it came time to do my part!
More coached breathing through the tugging and pulling and then the drape dropped down and my OB guided my hands down and I felt my baby's head and shoulders all warm, wet and slippery. My hands were guided under her arms and I lifted her up! I lifted her right up above my face! She dripped some fluid on my face! This is what I wanted - birth is messy! She was still in the shape she would have been inside - her legs drawn up and chin down, although she didn't look too happy at being out of her home. I wanted her on my chest but a warm blanket had been placed there so that I wouldn't get cold. I put her down on my chest then lifted her up again thinking I could remove the blanket but I obviously hadn't thought that through as I needed 2 hands to hold the baby! I looked at John thinking he could remove the blanket and he was crying. So I placed her back down and very quickly someone else removed the blanket from beneath her and we were skin to skin, with her wet and slippery and naked!
I couldn't believe I had done it!
I looked at John and he was wiping tears away. I was crying too. Very soon after the OB handed John a bowl containing the placenta which was still attached to our girl! A nurse helped remove my gloves and warm blankets were piled on top of us. I know I kept looking at John and saying "I did it, we did it! It happened!" I was so ecstatic, my baby was on my chest just as I had planned, I could feel her incredible warmth and touch her soft skin that only minutes earlier had been snuggled safe inside me for 9 months!
The cord went white very quickly and John got to clamp and cut the cord to separate our baby from the organ that helped to grow her. Something I wanted so much for him! With all his other children he had only been able to cut the remaining stump of cord that was left after the surgeon cut it. The surgery was over quite quickly and John got to hold her for the first time as they transferred me off the table.
Into recovery and back on my chest she went. The midwife that was with us in theatre and recovery was amazing! She had no problem in helping us tie on the little cord tie! Baby had a feed and she was weighed sometime while we were in recovery. The paediatrician was happy to wait to see us back on the ward, so she wasn't taken away for more checks as is normally done. We kept the placenta to be encapsulated by Kristin who had been my doula for the birth of our second son.
We weren't in recovery too long before being taken back to the ward with baby on my chest the whole time. We were entranced checking out every detail of her. I'm not sure if it was the epidural or the adrenaline wearing off or maybe it was the oxytocin but I was hardly able to keep my eyes open! After a couple of early visitors left, Belle also left and John went to go pickup the boys from school.
I had a sleep with baby on my chest and also wiped her face with the swabs I'd taken earlier. After a couple of hours they were all back and I'm so unbelievably thankful Belle was there to document the boys meeting their little sister for the first time. Their reactions were priceless! They were as entranced as we were and loved it when I unwrapped her to show them her little hands and toes and umbilical cord!
Leilani didn't get her name until she was 2 days old! We were so prepared with our boys and they had their names well before they were born. My recovery from my MAC was a lot easier than my emergency Caesarean recoveries because I went into it rested rather than being in labour for days. I felt pretty normal after the first week. I was driving in my second week post op. I'm so happy I chose this option for the birth of our last baby.
Although it is sad that I'll never experience the natural birth I used to yearn for, I had such an amazingly empowering and positive birth experience with this maternal assisted Caesarean. I would encourage anyone who wants to feel more involved in their Caesarean to look into having a MAC. It was so perfect for us!"

I'm a fan of articles that summarise books. And here is one to add to your weekend reading. It features "Deep Work" and "Flow" — two books that will help you achieve high-quality work and deep satisfaction through a state of flow.
And in this day and age, it's needed more than ever.
In the words of Deep Work author, Cal Newport:
"The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who cultivate this skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive."

I am a big fan of the polling company Lucid Talk which deserves credit for trying to break into a market which simply does not exist in Northern Ireland – namely polling.
The company itself has been consistently clear about its methodology, and has openly warned that much of what it does is not "polling", or at least is not to be compared to what is referred to as "polling" in Great Britain.
It is not for me to promote a particular company, but the simple fact neither Lucid Talk nor anyone else will be able to deliver polls of real value until they are paid properly to do so.
Polling is in fact an incredibly complex thing. Most obviously, it has to be properly weighted – to take account of voting intention in the past, voting likelihood, social background, gender, age and so on. This in itself requires an enormous amount of research – I have already cautioned that even in Scotland it may be way off with regard to the forthcoming referendum.
With more limited resources, the trick really is not to overstate your case. My own company did an exit poll (purely for research purposes) at the last Assembly Election, after which we were able confidently to predict that Anna Lo would top the poll in Belfast South; the Ulster Unionist vote was down in some places but not in others; the Alliance vote was up in some places but not in others; the DUP and Sinn Fein vote was roughly stable; and (the late) David McClarty would be elected. Here's the thing, though: with the exception of the latter, I would have confidently predicted all of those things anyway! In other words, I was reading the poll through my own instinct before declaring what I felt it meant – a vast amount of interpretation utterly unacceptable (rightly) to a professional pollster.
As it happened, I was fairly confident (but not confident enough to state overtly) that Steven Agnew would be elected. I reckoned (again not with huge certainty) but had got wrong that David Ford would be on 18% (he was on about 14%) – however, this turned out to be not far off as we did that particular section in Ballyclare, where the Alliance vote in the Local Election did increase markedly (by an amount which, if repeated across the constituency, would have seen it reach 18%). But then, I also reckoned that Mr McClarty would take the seat from the DUP not from the Ulster Unionists – our poll in Coleraine was actually quite good for the Ulster Unionists, when in fact their two candidates came last and second last. A mixed bag at best, in other words…
One thing that I would like to research again that stuck with me was that 29% of those polled had changed their vote in the Assembly Election from the General Election the previous year. In fact, it was striking how many could not remember how they had voted in the past (indicating no affiliation to a particular party). That one is maybe to be pursued next year – but it'll be a voluntary activity, I suspect.
If we want real polls of real value, frankly, someone is going to have to pay proper money for them.

The Photoscope took off in such a fantastic speed. The last three months has fare gone beyond my expectations.
Thank you all for the best Grand Opening with so many wonderful and interested visitors, I was overwhelmed by the amount of interest for the old historical photo techniques and for workshops in the so called alternative photographic techniques.
The last three months has been very busy with workshops in Cyanotype, Emulsion transfer from Polariods, and Making of Glass Plate Negatives, as well as work in the darkroom learning the analogue way from film to papir. A lot of very creative people have been working during the workshops and what a thrill it has been to meet them all and to see how they experimented and stretched the use of the different techniques. The photographic works became personal and unique from the very beginning.
Thank you fore all your comments and suggests to future workshops and activities in the Photoscope. I am working hard to meet your exciting ideas. Many more workshops will be coming up in the next months and also in other historical photographic techniques.
And dear Daniel Samanns, thank you for letting me show your fantastic Ambrotypes in the gallery. The portraits are so strong and intense and truly show what the wet plate collodion technique can add to the work of a great art photographer. The portraits become timeless icons in a very physical way, that touches you and makes you wonder.
Daniel Samanns will be working in the Photoscope this spring, as we are planing a Week of Wet Collodion. In this week there will be workshops in the making of wet plate collodion photographs, talks and event. We are very excited and can't wait to annonce it all during the next weeks.
All for now and lots of hugs from,
Lene Grinde

Last year, the NBA started to allow its teams to sell advertising space on their jerseys, much like NASCAR and several European soccer leagues. Within the last few months, companies started to take advantage.
The League made the decision back in April 2016 and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said that he hopes the patch program will encourage teams and companies to put more thought into who they associate with, according to Darren Rovell in an ESPN article.
"It's my hope, independent of whatever additional revenues are generated through this patch program, that the greatest impact will be in this amplifying effect of companies choosing to associate directly with a team jersey, then going out and promoting that relationship to the largest market," Silver said.
The deal itself is not long term just yet. It is only on a three-year trial program, according to Ahiza Garcia in an article for CNN Money.
The 76ers were the first team to take advantage of jersey advertisements when they signed a deal with StubHub in May 2016. That same year, they also named StubHub their main ticketing partner and re-vamped their ticketing system, the team's website said.
In October 2016, the Sacramento Kings became the second team to announce they had a sponsor when they said Blue Diamond Growers would have a spot on their jersey. In January 2017, The Boston Celtics were the third team to announce partnership with a company, General Electric, according to Garcia.
The fourth team to announce sponsorship was the Brooklyn Nets, who will collaborate with the software company Infor. Infor will also allow the Nets to use their computer system, according to Ananth Pandian in an article for CBS Sports.
The Utah Jazz are the most recent team to collaborate with a company. The Jazz and Utah-based software company Qualtrics struck a unique deal, in that Qualtrics's logo will not be on the team's jerseys. 5 For the Fight, Qualtrics's cancer charity will be on The Jazz's jerseys instead, according to E.J. Schultz in an article for AdvertisingAge.
The Golden State Warriors said they would also consider putting ads on their jerseys, but for a hefty price. They are asking for $15-$20 million per year for the advertisements, which is three to four times more than the $5 million the 76ers are getting in their deal. It is also more than any other team in the league is asking for, according to Zach Harper in a CBS Sports article.
The advertising patches come in the same year as another major change to NBA jerseys. Nike will become responsible for NBA jerseys starting in the 2017-2018 season. On top of any sponsors' logos, next year's jerseys will also brandish either the Nike or Air Jordan logo, according to Harper. It is certainly an interesting transition, and the increase in advertisements offers major opportunities for both teams and the companies that sponsor it.
A version of this article appeared in the Tuesday, February 21st, 2017 print edition.

Port of Vigo (Galician: Porto de Vigo, Spanish: Puerto de Vigo) located in Vigo, Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain is the biggest fishing port in the world[1] [2] and one of the busiest in transportation. It is also home of the world's largest fishing company, Pescanova. In 2008, unloaded fish reached 751,971 tonnes.
Vigo is the base for the big fishing companies which have prominent presence in countries such as Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, Australia, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, Chile and Peru, among others. Fish is sent all over Spain and abroad to countries like Portugal, Italy, France and other more distant markets including Asia.
In Vigo, important international trade fairs are held, like Conxemar, an annual event dedicated to frozen fish products. The World Fishing Exhibition takes place periodically.
The shipbuilding tradition begins in to the early Twentieth century, with the appearance of the first small steam fishing boats. One of these early models, known as the "Vigo type steamer" was very popular all around the coast of Spain and North Africa. Hundreds of this type were built.
Another decisive moment of development was in the 1960s, when the new freezer trawlers, which revolutionised the fishing industry, were first built. Vigo shipyards have always been leaders in the field of fishing vessels and a constant point of reference.
In order from south to north:
- Bouzas: divided between ro-ro traffic and shipyards for the repair of vessels.
- Beiramar and O Berbés: for fishing vessels.
- Transatlantic dock.
- Marina dock for yachts (these last three are by the city center).
- O Areal: commercial general and fluid goods freighting, 1500 meters long with a railway connection.
- Guixar: for handling containers, 769 meters long with a railway connection.
Beyond this point, shipyards and fishing ships docks could be found (Pescanova dock among them).
The Port of Vigo is involved in the construction of a Logistics Platform (PLISAN), that is supposed to conform a multifunctional complex spread over 419 ha and it is located 35 km away from Vigo.

text: Lysa is one of the most compassionate trainers I know. My dog, who most would consider a special flower, flourished under her guidance and direction. Lysa understand dogs so well that she is able to teach them in a way that's most comfortable for them. Dogs thrive under her training and their confidence shows through their performance. Coming from a dog training background myself, I am also impressed with Lysa's ability to understand each person's training strengths to help them train their dog to their full potential.

Haven't seen AK but saw Les Mis today and loved it. Hugh Jackman was amazing and Anne Hathaway was great. I agree that Russell Crowe doesn't sing that well but I thought he was good in his role. Of course I am biased towards this movie as I saw it on Broadway and loved it and couldn't wait for this movie to come out. I thought Daniel Day Lewis was a shoe-in for an Oscar for "Lincoln" but think Hugh Jackman deserves the win for his role. He made you believe and feel his pain. I would go back and see it again tomorrow and for me, that's a BIG THUMBS UP for a movie! Why is it most men don't like musicals!ReplyDelete

Small-town lawyers get to help people they know; Shawn loves this about his job.
Shawn grew up in very small northern towns, in one of them the only traffic control was one flashing yellow light. He may be a good Canadian who likes the outdoors but he still isn't a fan of sub 40 below weather. He does admit with a little prodding that one of the reasons he went to U Vic Law was because of the weather.
Outside of the office Shawn is a volunteer firefighter and sits on the board of Sea to Sky Community Services
Shawn's taste in music is universally despised by all staff; if he forgets to hit pause before your appointment feel free to tell him to turn it off.

The marine fauna of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is one of its greatest treasures and therefore we must not forget the snorkeling equipment when visiting its beaches.
Here we leave a list of the most common fish of the coast of Almeria so you can identify them. Each species lives in different habitats so if we are close to the shore, the most normal thing will be Saddled Seabream, Karanteens or Common Two-banded Seabream. As we go into the sea we will see more and larger species.
The greatest concentration of fish will be found in the posidonia meadows strong> that are about a mile from the shore and at a certain depth, so we would need specific equipment to get there.
If you want to download the identification tablet of Cabo de Gata fish in DIN A5 size to print and take to the beach click on the following link:

Taking An Internet Break & Why It's A Good Thing
Once in a while it's good to take a step back from the internet to recharge your own system, in so doing removing yourself from a screen and physically making a difference to your health. It's hard to find someone who doesn't have some kind of lifeline to an internet connection and consumes masses of information but here are a few reasons why a break to take stock away from a device is a good thing. How do you feel when away from the internet in a big way?
The past weekend was spent with family and good company and as such I didn't want to be distracted or insult them with an incessant need for just one more refresh of social media, the only exceptions were pre-planned twitter links and posts. Plus documenting any adventures with Instagram Stories, which is where you can usually find me for daily updates.
#01 || You are more present and in the moment, some time away can allow you to look at your company and your surroundings with fresh appreciation, not a fleeting glance before returning to a screen. You can also focus on yourself and analyse your actual needs and wants.
#02 || There will be the time to find and rediscover pastimes that never really factored in before, blogging and any big social media perusals can eat up hours of your time - hello to books, long walks, crab fishing and family games.
#03 || Physically you'll feel a little fresher, I'm usually found in front of my computer screen and my head can really feel the effects after a while. Getting out of the house can benefit not only your body but your mental well being too.
#04 || You don't have to listen to the onslaught of voices and opinions about any given subject, everyone has a point to make about every topic available under the sun even if it's interesting or not. An internet break can allow you to focus on your thoughts. Being online can distort your reality making your perceptions of what is good and bad a little skewed meaning time to yourself to process all of this is essential.
#05 || With your phone you can ignore or turn off all your pings for various new notifications, although it's good to be a social butterfly it can be distracting taking your phone out ever 2 minutes not only for you but others in your company.
#06 || The temptation to look at one more tweet or a refresh of Instagram once more is a further from your mind. The problem is breaking the initial obsession with certain social media and its hold over you.
#07 || In linking with the physical side of recuperation, you'll be ready for a good nights sleep, looking at any screen just before bed can really affect the quality of your sleep plus some media use scientifically proven techniques such as the colour of the site and 'popcorn' influences that keep the brain stimulated. Putting the phone down an hour before can signal to the body it's time to let the deep sleep in (that you need for helping your body).
What are your favourite benefits to putting down your device for a while?

Up to 17 people have been injured in a stabbing attack on the No. 40 Dan bus in Tel Aviv. Four victims are in the hospital in serious condition, according to reports. The suspected attacker, a 23-year-old Palestinian Muslim from Tulkarem, was shot and is in custody.
Times of Israel (h/t Maria J) After attacking passengers on the bus, the terrorist fled on foot, and tried to stab more people about a kilometer away, according to Magen David Adom Medical Director Dr. Rafi Satrugo.
In a statement released by his office, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blames the Palestinian Authority for the stabbing attack.
"The attack in Tel Aviv is the direct result of the poisonous incitement spread by the Palestinian Authority toward the Jews and their state. The same terror tries to harm us in Paris, Brussels, and everywhere."
"The ones who rushed to praise this attack are Hamas, Abu Mazen's partners in the unity government," he continued, referring to PA President Mahmoud Abbas. "This is the same Hamas that announced they would sue Israel in the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The number of wounded in the stabbing attacks is at 17. The victims are being treated in Ichilov, Tel Hashomer, and Wolfson hospitals. Four are in serious condition,
UPDATED VIDEO: As the savage is running away from the bus, he also stabs a woman in the street:
Listen to the filthy Muslim savage scream like a stuck pig on the ground after getting shot in the leg by police:
Should have blown his head off.

We are so pleased that we have the opportunity to volunteer our services to the Limb Power games that are held twice a year at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium. This is such a worthy cause and it never ceases to amaze me how both the adults and children that I teach in the pool have such a positive attitude to life.
This is such a rewarding experience from a teacher's point of view and Limb Power is such a wonderful organisation helping amputees or those who are limb impaired, or with physical disabilities to be able to take part in these games. There are 13 different adaptive sports to try out and have a go at. To have this many sports in one location gives an opportunity which would otherwise be unavailable.
The adult games were held last weekend and I had the honour to meet some great people including one lovely man called Tony Morris who was a victim to a form of meningitis and lost both his arms and his legs and went to the games especially for the swimming. What an inspiration he is and because he never has the chance to be in the water with his wife and two lovely young daughters we managed a family swim as well!
We all have problems through life but after being at the games and meeting such positive people, it makes you realise most of the problems we have are unimportant in comparison.

6 Various Natural Cures For Hoarseness
[toc]Hoarseness also known as laryngitis in medical terms is quite a known and common problem that occurs among a lot of people in the population. The voice usually sounds hoarse or like a frog croaking. Usually, it occurs when you have overused the voice and it leads to a stress on the vocal chords.
Throat over clearing can also lead to hoarseness. No matter what the reason, once you detect the problem the idea is to look for treatments. The list underneath has some great and excellent natural cures that can be one of the effective ways for curing hoarseness and that too without side effects.
6 Natural Cures For Hoarseness
Ginger Tea
Worth Buying
One of the natural cures that come straight from the old grandma's recipes is that of ginger. Prepare a cup of ginger tea from boiling an inch of ginger in a cup of water. This should be lukewarm when you consume it. Along with treatment of hoarseness, it ensures a good remedy for cold and cough as well. The idea is to have 2-3 cups daily on a regular basis to get visible outcomes. Ginger has anti inflammatory properties along with soothing benefits that will get you back the normal voice.
Take Steam
While taking a warm water shower, try and inhale the steam around. This is supposedly one of the best natural treatments that can help in the cure of hoarseness. This can also be done in as simple way as inhaling the steam from a hot dish like cooked rice. Follow this remedy whenever possible till the crisis subsides completely. It is bound to give you brilliant outcomes in hand.
Calamansi Fruit Juice
Warm calamansi juice is a good home remedy that falls under natural cures. It can be squeezed in a cup of warm water and consumed with a teaspoon of sugar for taste. It has citrus benefits and thus helps in slowly recovering the hoarse throat. Calamansi juice can be substituted with lime juice to get the same results in hand.
Have Some Soup
Drink some soup and preferably chicken soup if the hoarseness is a result of cold and cough. This will help in thinning of the mucus and treat the problem of hoarseness by creating humidity in the throat. Add a clove of crushed garlic to the soup to trigger the outcomes. This is again one of the undeniable remedies that are natural and top notch for treating hoarseness.
Honey And Lemon
These are two natural products that can be combined with a handful of other natural ingredients to get a treatment for hoarseness. On one hand you can mix lemon juice with honey and consume it for the cure whereas on the other honey can be mixed with a cup of warm milk and consumed each day to get results in a couple of days. Lemon can also be mixed with cayenne pepper and warm water to get the outcomes you desire.
Give It Rest
A simple natural treatment for hoarseness is to give it proper rest. The silence that you maintain will give the vocal cords the chance to recover and heal from the laryngitis easily and without much effort. Rest your voice and adhere to writing whenever you need to communicate with someone. This will start giving you results in a day or two.

Thank-you. Thanks. Thx. Tnks. TX.
I've seen it written many different ways. In this age of texting and emails and twitter and postings, it's used an awful lot. These days it seems to be pretty much tossed around as an after-thought. But what's really in saying or giving "thanks"? I'm not entirely sure we say it often enough to those people in our lives who have impacted us (either in a big way, or small) or supported us or who were just there at the right time, in the right place, saying the right things to get us through. It's easy to say "thanks for the coffee" or "thanks for the chat" or "thanks for holding the door". Those are things that come out of us somewhat unconsciously and we even say it to perfect strangers out of courtesy. "Thanks for being amazing" or "thanks for being beautiful" or "thanks for being my friend" or "thanks for being you". These statements are not said often enough. So today, or tomorrow, or the next day…try it. Tell someone you love that you thank them for something BIG. Because THAT is what being thankful is truly about.
May the spirit of THANKSgiving bring you love, laughter and a warm heart.
Till the next pair of shoes … kylie
P.S. This picture reminds me of ... home.

Last weekend we perused Pike Place Market slightly perma frosted and ended up pairing our cannabis with a Dungeness. Who knew crab could be so easy to prepare?
Thanks to the lovely staff at the City Fish Market for assuaging our fear of seafood. This recipe is so simple, we want to share it with you!
Ingredients you'll need: Dungeness crab, minced garlic, 1 stick butter, loaf of bread, cannabis
Step 1: Buy a Dungeness crab, preferably from Pike Place Market to ensure freshness.
Step 2: Pre-heat oven to 325 and place bread on a middle rack.
Step 3: Mince garlic.
Step 4: On low heat, melt your stick of butter in a pan. Once it's completely melted, sauté garlic for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 5: While sautéing garlic, smoke a bowl with friends. We're partial to Perma Frost, as its spicy yet earthy notes pair well with these northwest noshies.
Step 6: Crack open that crab and enjoy. Dip your bread in the garlic butter, then add some fresh caught crab on top. If you feel especially adventurous, add a little white cheddar and avocado for extra yum.
Make sure to have plenty of napkins on-hand. This winter meal is mildly messy, but worth every bite!
What are your favorite winter recipes? What strain would you pair them with? Let us know in the comments below.

If you are like me and believe in the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) and believe that God sent His only Son to die for me then you have to ask yourself some serious questions:
- Why am I here?
- What is my purpose in life?
- Is the statement, To God Be the Glory, really applicable to my life
- What does God require of me being a disciple?
- Is Salvation a one time gift that doesn't require any further repentance?
- Why am I asking these questions?
- Is Salvation a works based faith?
Each one of us has been born on this earth with a purpose and if we know the Lord Jesus Christ then we have been given spiritual gifts to honor God. In all that we do, whether of this world, in this world or apart from this world should be to the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. You ask, does this mean that God is in all, above all, from all and in control of all? Simply answered, Most Definitely!
Ecclesiastes is a very good book that puts life in perspective (Read it and see). At the end of it all, life is but a mist, and if we do not do everything in life to worship and honor God, then we miss the whole purpose of why we are put on this earth.
Take for instance, Christmas (by the way good blog on when was Jesus born - click here), we celebrate the virgin birth of Jesus Christ being born a virgin (Mary) and lived out his life and then died for our sins. The love story doesn't stop there - it goes on to say that he also obeyed God the Father's will to die for our sins and to be raised again and He now sits at the right hand of God. Because of this sacrifice all of our sins (repeating that) ALL OF OUR SINS of the past, the present and the future have been bought for with a price and paid for by Jesus's one time sacrifice for us. What does he require of us in return:
- To Admit that we are sinners
- To Believe that Jesus did all that for us and more
- To Confess that we are sinners that need Jesus's sacrifice to cover our sins once and for all
- To live a pure and holy life (Colossians 3)
- To be a living sacrifice (Romans 12)
- To love our brothers (and sisters)
- To give without expecting to get
- To serve without expecting to serve
- To forgive without expecting to be forgiven (by others on this earth)
- To be a witness about God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives
- To live a real life of a disciple, not that of a hypocrite (or pharisee)
- To be ready to hear God
- To be in relationship with God
- To be a friend of God
Why are we here? What is our purpose?
James 1:27English Standard Version (ESV)
27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Who is our orphans - I would say not only actually orphans in this world, but I would say any man, woman or child that does not know Jesus Christ would be considered an orphan in my book.
Who is our widows - take care of those who lost loved ones and are grieving and have no family to take care of them
To avoid this world - (refer back to Romans 12, Colossians 3 and The Book of James).
Merry Christmas,

Two prominent inner-city locals have this week announced a new Parkinson?s disease support group especially for sufferers in Ultimo.
Chris Davis, business development manager at the University of Technology, Sydney, and Gerald Ganglbauer, of the Ultimo Society, are just two of the estimated 80,000 Australians living with Parkinson?s disease. They aim to close the gap between existing support groups in NSW.
?When I was diagnosed a couple of years ago at 47, I went into shock; my emotions ranged from denial and disbelief to anger and depression,? Mr Ganglbauer said. ?I wished I had known someone like me in the neighbourhood to talk to face to face.
"Besides raising awareness for Parkinson's in the community, this is the main reason we're launching a new local support group,? Mr Ganglbauer said.
While there is no cure for the disease, both Mr Davis and Mr Ganglbauer believe the best therapy to share the burden of living with Parkinson?s is a good talk.
They invite everyone with the condition in the City West area to join the group, which will meet at the Ultimo Community Centre.

Every country in Africa has different requirements and recommendations regarding health and immunizations.
Visitors over one year of age must produce a valid International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever. A Cholera vaccination certificate is not a condition of entry, however, Customs officials may require some proof of immunization, depending on where you are from, if that country was not affected by Cholera.
Malaria is a risk throughout Rwanda. The local strain is reported to be resistant to chloroquine and resistant to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine - consult your personal physician.
Food & water: Visitors should consume only their own supplies of bottled water and vitamins. Water used for drinking, brushing teeth or making ice should first be boiled. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish, preferably served hot. Vegetables should be cooked and fruit peeled.

PARIS — Appeals judges at an international tribunal in The Hague have overturned the conviction of a Lebanese television executive and cleared her and her station of charges of contempt of court.
In September, the executive, Karma al-Khayat, was fined 10,000 euros, or more than $11,000, for ignoring a court order to remove material about confidential witnesses from the website of the station, Al Jadeed TV.
Ms. Khayat said she had never seen the court order sent by email in August 2012, shortly after Al Jadeed had broadcast five episodes about presumed secret court witnesses.
In its ruling published on Tuesday, the appeals panel set aside the fine, saying there was no proof that Ms. Khayat had deliberately ignored the court's order. During the trail last year, judges found that there was insufficient proof that Ms. Khayat's program had undermined public confidence in the tribunal, as the prosecution had charged.
Critics of the United Nations backed tribunal, which is financed by Lebanon and Western donors, have called the case an unnecessary digression from its mandate, which is to clarify the question of who orchestrated the car bombing that killed Rafik Hariri, a former prime minister of Lebanon, in 2005 in central Beirut.
Ms. Khayat, who was Al Jadeed's news editor in 2012 and has since become a vice president, has maintained that the case against her was an attack on freedom of speech and a waste of time and money. She said she had received a list of names from an anonymous source and had a duty to demonstrate that the tribunal was "leaking information."
But judges at the court decided to go to trial after ruling that disclosures by Al Jadeed and several other news organizations were undermining the court's work and scaring off witnesses.

The new paradigm is presence, pleasure, moment to moment embodied awareness, living more deeply from the heart and less from the mind, and living from your own intuition.
Never has there been a time when there has been a sense of such a divide from the fear-based mind and the heart.
Are you feeling this? Do you have days where your thoughts of worry or gripping just take over? Do you have days where you more easily sinking into your body and heart and feel clear? These strong polarities are happening in many of us. This is the transition into a new way of being.
A time where rushing, pushing forward, hustling and jamming things into your schedule just to get things done is no longer really working. Yeah, you can exist like that but it won't sustain nearly as much as it used to.
Does your being crave space? Do you tolerate very little when it comes to burnout? Do you feel like the hustle life isn't serving you anymore?
The new paradigm is where flow allows for exponential results. Where space allows for massive ideas and paradigm shifts. When doing less actually allows you to embody more and create more.
If you feel like you are trying to paddle upstream and it is just not working I totally understand. If you feel like the way you used to do things no longer works I understand.
Here is the thing, embracing this new reality goes against all that you have relied on in the past. Yeah, the concept of flow, law of attraction and surrender have been around for a long time. But now more than ever, we are being called to choose. To embody a new reality, a new way of being. A way that is delicious but can really be intense getting there.
I support my fellow lightworkers and empaths on this transition. It is ultimately choosing yourself over and over. Choosing your hearts calling, your embodied awareness. Choosing to go with your desires and let the fear take the back seat.
One way I can support you is by being able to see and know so clearly where you are at vibrationally. I can hone in on what is holding you back, what belief/paradigm you are inhabiting that is keeping you stuck in your life and direct you to know it for yourself so then what? So then you can release it and choose a new way. Awareness is always the first step. Then all the rest follows.
Connect with me and we can talk about how you can work with me and I can assist you in your life as you transition to embody YOU even more. What might be on the other side of your next transformation?

My eyes were bright this morning. Something more energizing than coffee was doing its work and I felt fully present in the circle. I refused to give in to the fatigue that nips constantly at my heels. These chances to be a sovereign being, responsible for myself alone, supporting this group as a peer and a student are rarest gems to me and I wasn't going to squander a moment. Finally, at the end of this day, however, the sleepiness drags at my eyes and my fingers and I cannot begin to do the experience any justice.
This healing work we do at the Sacred Center Mystery School defies story. It is designed to lift us out of the typical elements of the human condition - even the addiction to story that is a hallmark of our humanity.
As a storyteller, I have struggled with this paradox. Am I peddling narrative crack at my day job and then skipping off to healing school like a sweet little hypocrite trying to leave her stories behind?
In class, we strive to see and touch a dimension that's beyond individual drama. We seek to fly above and dive below the swell of emotion that drowns out the voices of the divine and the beacons of greater Truth.
And yet, we gather in this counsel of advancing souls as beautifully imperfect people. We're not trying to shed our humanness. Instead, we ask it to resonate through us, from cells to spirit. When we embrace who we are we're free enough to evolve.
In such a space, we come together to own our stories, not to be owned by them. In such a place, there's ample room for stories that empower and there's all the time in the world to tell the stories that connect us all together.

EXCLUSIVE: 13 Reasons Why leads chart of in-demand shows.
Netflix accounted for nine out of the 10 most in-demand digital original shows in South Korea over the period June 16-July 15, a Parrot Analytics study has revealed.
According to the Los Angeles-based data science firm's Demand Expressions metric that gauges total audience demand for a show within a particular country, 13 Reasons Why was the most popular show that originated exclusively online.
The mystery series scored 447,624 Demand Expressions, which reflect the online desire, engagement and consumption of content. The score is weighted by importance so that a stream or download represents a higher expression of demand than a 'like' or a comment.
Some way behind in second place was Stranger Things with 299,407 Demand Expressions, followed by Black Mirror on 293,004, GLOW on 285,616, and Marvel's Iron Fist on 256,663.
Amazon Studios' The Grand Tour – the only non-Netflix show in the top 10 – ranked eighth on 228,794.
When the same period of observation was applied to overall TV shows encompassing a series that originated on any platform from any country, no US content made it in to the top 10, although Game Of Thrones did place in the top 20.
In this measurement, the top show was Infinite Challenge with 9,086,236 Demand Expressions, followed by Fight For My Way with 7,316,166, and Jealousy Incarnate with 7,134,634.

The Good and the Bad: Destiny 2
June 05, 2018
I have so many games in my Steam library and board game shelf and never enough time to play them all. I figured by writing short reviews it would enable me to think somewhat critically about the games rather than just saying its great and moving on. The typically enjoy the part of game reviews where they detail the good and the bad points about the game before providing a short verdict so that is what I've decided to do.
I acquired Destiny 2 through the June Humble Monthly Bundle (check out my referral link here) and managed to convince 2 of my closest friends to do the same so this past weekend we got together and played through the main storyline; this is the good and the bad.
The Good
- The story didn't overstay its welcome - One of my major pet peeves with gaming is the focus on game length as a measure of value and I believe a game should be just long enough that you can finish it in a single weekend (with obvious exceptions). I really enjoyed the main storyline of Destiny 2 because it never felt like it was dragging on; it provided a gripping hook and finished before it became too incredulous or boring.
- Player progression was quick and satisfying - Something I was surprised with was how quickly you progress through leveling and building your characters abilities. We reached level 20 before finishing the main storyline and were quick to buy the expansions so we wouldn't be wasting any of that additional experience. It seems like the grind in Destiny 2 isn't getting to max level but in getting the best gear to complete the endgame content.
- The visuals are amazing - Just flying through some of the environments you can't help but be in awe of how beautiful some of the visuals are. My personal favorite was the planet of Nessus which is controlled by the cyborg-like race called the Vex.
- Public events - There is something so satisfying about rallying a group of strangers together to complete an event. Even though the events generally repeat themselves, it is still refreshing to participate in them and have a new group of people show up each time.
The Bad
- The pacing of some of the story missions was too slow - Despite having such a beautiful environment there are a lot of areas you are just running through especially during story quests. I understand that sometimes it is used to build suspense or give the players a break between battles it just seemed like such a waste to have so many great environments where nothing really happens. I feel like there was more suspense built when entering a "Respawning Restricted" area.
- Crucible maps don't feel like they flow - This might be a slightly premature criticism but in the 2 Crucible (PVP) matches we played I was slightly disappointed with how poorly the maps flowed considering how well Bungie designed numerous Halo multiplayer maps. It is something I will have to explore further in the endgame.
A solid game made better in the presence of friends. If you can find it for around the same price of $12, it is well worth your time.

Looking for an ECB rate cut?Written by A Forex View From Afar on Wednesday, May 07, 2008
Back to www.thelfb.com
According to WSJ, all 50 analysts asked about tomorrow's ECB Interest Decision said they are expecting no movement. No surprise here, but afterwards, half of the analyst said they are looking for a rate cut from ECB by the end of Q3, and more then a half said the ECB will cut by the end of 2008.
A Dow Jones Newswires survey of 50 financial institutions found respondents unanimous in anticipating unchanged rates Thursday. Just under half, or 22 of those canvassed, expect the ECB to cut rates by the end of the third quarter, while 34 expect a cut by Christmas.
The thing that does not really add up as easily as it could is the economic logic. If everyone expects US growth to pick up during Q3, why would the Euro-Zone growth not pick in Q3? Would it not just be inline with the global expansion that comes from the US markets coming out of contraction? The analysts had the Euro-Zone cutting rates by the start of the summer, when asked back in December. We are very close to summer, and there is not even a rumor about cutting from officials.
The Analyst thoughts seem to be;
-the US slowdown must drag Europe into a recession, which by the way it has not, and when the US economy starts growing again the Analysts have the Euro-Zone shrinking.
-the analysts are saying that the ECB will change its inflation-fighting view for just one quarter. The analyst logic is the European-slowdown (they are foreseeing) will bring down inflation.
-the same things were said about the US slowdown as well; the Analysts said that it will bring down commodity prices and inflation due to lack of demand from the US. They were wrong, Oil just hit a record at $122 a barrel, food commodities are way up, and inflation is still high in the US.
Economists are wagering that the economic slowdown will do what's needed to bring down inflation, giving the ECB a way to lower the policy rate without compromising its primary mandate of price stability. But they may be expecting too much, too soon.
It would be a strange call from the ECB to modify its stance so quickly, almost overnight, to one of a single mandate of price stability, to one of growth concerns.

Many gemstones have storied pasts, and this is especially true of the peridot. From its discovery on a remote island to its fabled mystical powers, the history of the peridot is one that certainly bears telling

We hear it all the time, "This is our year", from Republicans. But we cannot play the hand the same as we did before. We cannot put candidates up who have lost before and recycle them. They didn't win before and they won't win now. We need new faces, new ideas, new methods. We don't need people running that lost before.
I'm seeing people running for seats that have a history of losing. In some cases these people lost twice and three times before and now they're coming back out of their holes and attempting to run again. Is our party stupid to back such ridiculous moves. The answer is "YES"!!! This is insanity. Voters aren't stupid. They didn't elect these people before and they won't again. I ask the GOP leadership to use some common sense and ask these people to step down. Find someone that is a new face face with new ideas. If not, we'll lose opportunities again.
