text: Jatheish 714 Posted December 23, 2018 Current ATLAS Official Server Network Server Version: v101.1Current ATLAS Official Server Network Server Status: Healthy Upcoming patch notes Please note these patch notes are not finalised and there may be changeS prior to full release on the live servers. More notes to come! released patch notes current v101.1 The Hoppening Patch Notes (v101.1) Treasure Chests now include Easter Eggs and Chickens (both wild/tamed) will drop them over time. Easter Eggs can be used to purchase crafts of a Bunny Hat (they stack, so you can purchase multiple crafts and keep them even after the event ends!) Eggs can be thrown at players to cause a post-process 'yolk' effect and at wild creatures to slow them down. Easter Bonus: Egg Maturation speed increased by 3x Increase player speed by 10% across-the-board Water Reservoirs now automatically generate water if they are placed on fertile soil. How quickly they generate water depends on the soil type and biome, indicated on the HUD when you place or look at the water reservoir. You can now self-heal with the medkit. How much healing you get is dependent on a new Self-Healing Skill (though you can Heal yourself without the Skill, you'll only get 10% effectiveness) Killing the Krakens now completes the respective Quest for everyone in the combat zone, not just the people who have got all the Power Stones / Essences. (not retroactive) Fixed Treasure Maps sometimes generating stuck into the world geometry (not retroactive) Spikeshot now has a 15-second Defuse timer that begins upon impact. Company limit on PvP server has been increased to 75. Mermaids should now properly target players on ships (they should then sing to lure the players off the ships). Reduced Submarine max weight to 800 Submarines move 33% slower and uses 50% more fuel Submarine is unable to move laterally when overweight/overcrewed, can still move longitudinally. No longer able to place explosive barrel item directly onto the water. Must have them carried and then tossed into the ocean.

We'll be releasing an update tomorrow which includes the following changes: - 6x Rates - Harvesting, Taming, Experience, Gold, Farming, and Breeding. - Claim flags will no longer prevent enemy building. You can now build anywhere, and only structure build radius will prevent it. This does not apply to cannons and mortars, which will still require a claim flag. This is a non-default, which will be enabled on our PvP Networks. Unofficials can also use this as a custom server-side config. - All servers, other than Golden Age Ruin servers, can be set to home servers, allowing players to respawn at them.

(PRWEB) February 02, 2016
Kristen Hotaling, a bait and tackle shop owner, creative artist, devoted writer and author, has completed her first book "The Lonely Christmas Tree": a fun and enlightening work about unexpected friendship, love, family and kindness.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Kristen Hotaling's creative work is the perfect read for both children and adults.
"The Lonely Christmas Tree" is a story about Bruce, a lonely Spruce Tree left in the Hotaling's Christmas tree lot on Christmas Eve. Bruce became the saddest Christmas tree around and thought that he would have to spend Christmas alone. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed some movement, maybe one last family shopping for a tree, but no it was just some woodland animals roaming about the Christmas tree lot. Bruce did not think anything of the animals until one of the animals; Hammy the chipmunk came up to Bruce and asked what was wrong. Bruce told him that he was all alone for Christmas. Hammy then ran off, gathered the rest of his friends, and came back to let Bruce know that he would not be left alone on Christmas. This is when all the animals went on a scavenger hunt to find all the items they could to help decorate Bruce. All returned with great ideas to decorate Bruce; strings of popcorn, cookie ornaments, and left over Christmas lights and even a star. By the time they are finished decorating Bruce, he was the best-looking Christmas Tree in the entire town. Bruce was the happiest tree around and was spending it with some great friends on Christmas.
Readers who wish to experience this inspirational work can purchase"The Lonely Christmas Tree" at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Vincent's Homeland
Anyone wishing to study the work of Vincent van Gogh or tread in his footsteps as a tourist cannot ignore Brabant. Not only was he born and raised there, he later made a deliberate choice to work on his career as a drawer and painter in rural Brabant. The way things turned out he lived there for half his life. For the artist who had intended to become a genuine peasant farmer, the countryside of his carefree childhood offered plenty of things to interest him. Among the farmworkers he found the motivation to study his models, their houses and the land on which they worked.
It was later, in Arles and during his voluntary admission to the Saint-Rémy mental hospital, that the thoughts of the countryside of his youth filled him with homesickness. During his convalescence he started writing to his mother again and he painted his memories of Brabant.
Various locations are witness to the life and work of this famous artist. You can discover the Brabant biography of Vincent van Gogh on a walk around these places
The iPad app about Vincent van Gogh's turbulent life. Animations, games and many historical facts tell the story about the life and works of the world-famous painter.
In Eindhoven, in an area that Vincent van Gogh represented in his paintings, you can find this unique cycle path inspired by Vincent van Gogh's painting The Starry Night.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The Georgia College Golf squad struggled in day two of the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship, posting an 18-over score to slide to ninth at the par-72, 6,939-yard Slammer and Squire course Saturday.
The Bobcats have posted rounds of 300 and 306 to sit plus-30 after two rounds, but just eight strokes out of the top four.
Sophomore Austin Mancilla (Lawrenceville, Georgia) carded the best round for the Bobcats today with a 73. He had three birdies on the day, coming on holes 8, 11 and 14. Mancilla's two-day score is a six-over effort, good for 24th in the 45-golfer field.
Second on the team and 28th overall is senior Thomas Hodges (Monroe, Georgia) with a 78 today after yesterday's 74 for eight-over. One stroke behind in 31st is senior Justin Connelly (McDonough, Georgia) who is nine-over for the tourney. The Bobcat had a standout first round of 70 and followed that with an 83 today.
Sophomore Drew Duffie (Evans, Georgia) is 37th with round of 79 and 77 for 10-over. Freshman Daniel Davis (Columbus, Georgia) shot a 78 today, improving six strokes from yesterday's effort. Davis is 43rd at plus-18.
The Bobcats complete the three-day tournament tomorrow, April 15, with Davis leading Georgia College to the course at 8 a.m.

In December, Versa sponsored an independent survey conducted by Dimensional Research of 308 network professionals across five continents at organizations with 1,000-plus employees. The goal of the research was to capture how companies manage and secure their networks across branch locations. The research also investigated the expected benefits and challenges of a software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN).
What the research revealed was that companies are struggling to manage and secure the WAN, especially at branch locations. Nearly all participants stated that maintaining security policies, network devices, and complexity due to cloud and mobile applications are the most difficult aspects of managing the WAN.
Specifically, they found growing complexity is the top challenge for managing branch networks and security; more than one-third of companies fail to have proper security measures at branch locations (see figure 1). I found this number surprisingly high, considering most of us have home networks with built-in security. Less than one-quarter of companies have an active project to address challenges; 80 percent of respondents prefer an integrated SD-WAN and security solution.
Figure 1: Source: Dimensional Research
The report also uncovered the fact that networking professionals are struggling to maintain security policies, manage network devices, and control sensitive information. And these issues compounded by the number of physical network and security devices respondents have to manage in a typical branch. Two-thirds of organizations are managing more than six physical network and security devices at each branch (see figure 2).
Figure 2: Source: Dimensional Data
What's more, they're having a hard time adequately managing and securing their WANs – especially at branch offices. For example, 97 percent of respondents said they face multiple challenges in managing their WAN.
And the three most common challenges involve branch offices. Specifically, 52 percent said their biggest challenge was managing network and security devices at branch locations; 50 percent said that the biggest challenge was mitigating information security risks at branch locations; 42 percent said the biggest challenge was deploying new network and security solutions at branch locations.
When it comes to the WAN, networking professionals indicated that they struggle primarily with maintaining security policies, managing network devices, and controlling sensitive information.
This is compounded by the number of physical network and security devices respondents have to manage in a typical branch. To be specific, 44 percent of respondents said they manage more than 10 devices, while 66 percent said they have to manage more than six devices. It gets even more complex when considering 88 percent of respondents confirmed that in a given remote branch they are working with devices from multiple vendors.
Even when factoring in the need to manage multiple devices from multiple vendors, 76 percent said they are deferring actions necessary to simplify WAN management.
Additionally, more than one-third of organizations are failing to institute proper security measures – such as secure web gateways, intrusion protection and even basic firewalls at branch locations. And part of the reason given for this is the growing complexity caused by cloud applications and mobile devices (see figure 3).
Figure 3: Source: Dimensional Data
Interestingly, 80 percent of networking professionals said they would prefer an integrated SD-WAN and security solution.
In summary, the branch network and WAN remain a challenge for most enterprise IT teams. But SD-WAN and the integration of security into an SD-WAN deployment or managed service can help to address some of the fundamental WAN and branch security challenges that network and IT teams are facing today.

A quick guide to Instagram (skip this part if you are an InstaPro)
Instagram is a social media platform designed for sharing photos. You have an account with a unique name that people can 'follow', this means they will see every time you post a photo. People can then 'like' and comment on your photos.
You can also 'hashtag' your photos. A 'hashtag', (#) is effectively a key word that you can assign to your photo. For example, we could put #Japan #Travel… people who search those words will find our photo (somewhere, if it isn't buried among a million others).
Another feature on Instagram is posting your location. When you share a photo, you have the option to tag the location the photo was taken. This is great for travellers who are visually inspired (as we are to some extent) as it makes it easy to locate that beautiful city, waterfall, beach, building, coffee shop…. that you are looking at.
We have two Instagram accounts – one is our general travel account; @itsplanesailing (the '@' comes before all Instagram account names) and the other, newer account is specifically for us to showcase the Iya Valley and Shikoku: @iyavalleyjapan
While we were living on Haji, we started to discover a new side to Instagram – it is great for MEETING people. I don't mean an online, virtual 'meeting', I mean actually going for a drink, having a chat, and getting to know each other.
The yachting community on Instagram is strong; there is always a lot of support from likeminded people, and other users are generally happy to offer tips and advice. Our first encounter with other sailing Instagrammers was in Le Marin, Martinique. We were tootling around in the dinghy when I spotted a whale tale on the side of a catamaran. I recognised it immediately from Instagram as @sailing_beluga. We stopped by but there was no one home. Luckily, Instagram gives you the option to send a private message, so we let them know that we were anchored near by if they were interested in meeting up for drinks. We ended up spending New Year's Eve together and so began a new friendship. Although we have now swapped other contact information, we still tend to use Instagram to keep in touch (miss you guys <3 )
Lately, we have had lots of messages from other Instagram users – the fact that Iya Valley is so niche means we really stand out. Anyone coming to the Iya Valley is likely to see our account, and potentially take an interest. Our hope is to bring more people to the area by showing off its natural beauty and interesting sights. Lots of people get in touch for tips on where to go, places to stay, and where to eat. Despite not having been here long, we are still privy to 'insider' information.
We were asked recently if we could recommend a good spot to pitch a tent in the area, to which we instantly replied 'our garden?' (We also offered use of the house, as well as giving a few campsite ideas.) The Australian couple in question took up our offer (the crazies are cycling all over the world!) and so ensued a delightful evening of swapping travel stories. (Grandma, don't worry – we asked if they were murderers before letting them stay!) The most worrying part is, since they left we have discussed buying bikes and meeting them in Europe!
Without Instagram, we would never have made these friends. I feel that many people see the 'photography' side of the app, but are totally missing that there is a 'human interaction' aspect to it as well.

Creek in a Pipe
Fish Rescue
The Last Fish
One Year Later
18 Months
Winters Putah Creek Parkway Project
Pre-project (9/1/11) shot of Putah Creek taken off the Winters Bike Bridge. The project was designed to restore one mile of the waterway for salmon spawning and to increase public access. The area shown in the image was poor habitat for aquatic insects and native fish. Access to the creek was difficult at best. In some areas getting to the water was almost impossible due to invasive blackberries and eroding banks.

I have eaten two pancakes, a thin crust pizza and am looking forward to some After Eight mints later on. I suspect being cooped up in here is a bit like being in prison, but with less chance of a blow-job.
I'd love to tell you that this is because I have embarked upon my great quest. The novel. Sadly, I am merely revising for what is commonly described as a 'professional qualification'. Loosely translated though it's a complete ball-ache which will look good on the CV but offers no appreciable insight into the way I do my job. It's some years since I studied for a qualification like this and I remember vowing that I'd never put myself though it again… and here I am. Rose tinted spectacles, etc.
Qualifications that are irrelevant on purpose are much more enjoyable as a rule. I did a course in 'film noir' once at The Cornerhouse in Manchester. All good stuff about the Maltese Falcon and The Postman Always Rings Twice, but to be honest I also found that there were some intellectual young laydees also on the course. I blew it when, instead of saying 'Well hello! I work in advertising and interactive tv' which was true, what I actually said was 'Hello, I work for a Building Society' which was equally true at the time, but much less alluring. The young laydees never looked at me again.
I also did a short course in animation but, frankly, I thought it was a bit Mickey Mouse.
Anyway, cooped up in this box, my attention span lasts for about ten minutes before I get distracted.
Today's Top 10 distractions are as follows:
1. Eating pancakes.
2. Reading Unknown Pleasures by Chris Ott.
3. Thinking about Ian Curtis.
4. Playing Closer and listening to all of the words.
5. Eating a thin crust pizza.
6. Googling for nude pictures of Kirstie Allsopp and only finding AFMIP.
7. Jotting down blog ideas.
8. Commenting on other peoples blogs.
9. Looking forward to eating After Eight mints.
10. Buying a TV-B-Gone.
I will be released later because Mrs Backroads' long lost cousin George is coming round. I've been excited for weeks about this because I was told that "he's something big in the Homeland Security department", so I was imagining tales of shoe-bombers, Anthrax and other shenanigans. I now find out that George is "something in the big Homebase security department", so it's more likely to be tales relating to the petty theft of hosepipes and light fittings. Ah well.

This week I have mainly been working. There has also been a lot of reading.
Having not posted a round-up last week I'm a little behind on the links. I reviewed 'Tea With Bea' by Bea Vo, 'Food You Can't Say No To' by Tamasin Day-Lewis and 'Adventures with Chocolate' by Paul A. Young on the Huffington Post UK blog.
Over here I have done a review of 'The Cook and the Gardener' by Amanda Hesser. I have finally gotten around to posting all about my business (just in time for me to go and add a new section to the website in the next couple of weeks!) and I've also added some new pictures and recommendations from my visit to Shropshire.
I've read 'Dreadful Sorry' by Kathryn Reiss which was excellent, 'I Am Legend' by Richard Matheson which I really didn't enjoy and some fantastic thrillers. Having seen a recommendation on Twitter I picked up 'The Obelisk' by Howard Gordon and finished it in about six hours flat and then even more surprisingly did exactly the same with 'Lock Down' by Sean Black. I can't wait to get more from both authors. I also read 'Perfect Death' by Kate Ellis, I try normally not to jump right into the middle of a series of novels but I wanted to try this out and it did stand alone well, and I'll try and find others as well now. The other books I've been reading have mostly been poetry – partly because I love reading it and also to find some new poems to use when I'm doing my 'After Poetry' project and writing-in-the-style-of poets.
I'm planning a trip into town to look for some new cookbooks to review because I have completely run out and so until I've found some new ones the reviews will be quiet for a while.
And now I've got a quick reading break in the sunshine before getting back to work on a very long to-do list for my business-side. There will probably also be a large cup of tea involved.

Global Politics and Change
T. Peterson, Ph.D.
following text excerpt is taken from:
The Creator's
Window -Viewing Global Change,
Universal timelines, & The Promise, ©
• International Political Change
In the late 80s and early 90s, global politics experienced major shifts with rapid democratization in formerly communist states. A switch in economic systems opened the door to capitalism and new markets. This raises another key point. The cold war was swept away and a new era of materialism rushes in. Think of this as a consequence not a benefit, leading to more consumers in a finite, resource limited, world.
As the old communist guard stepped aside, formerly hidden environmental abuses surfaced. For Russia and the Eastern Block countries, prior neglect, a lack of funds, and incompetent policies leave large stockpiles of radioactive and hazardous waste requiring extensive cleanup. The environmental sins of the past reveal obsolete military priorities that now highlight humanity's lack of foresight planning. Both communistic and capitalistic nations expended massive resources to promote nuclear weapons to justify or defend themselves as political and governmental entities. Environmental or economic consequences only surface during a period of relative peace and economic recession. Is any political system, lacking sound political or economic mechanics capable of competent environmental stewardship? Is any government, lacking monetary strength, able to conquer this hazardous legacy left by the Cold War?
The words of Dr. M. G. K. Menon serve to summarize economic reality in the wake of the Cold War:
Since the end of the Second World War, we have seen a bipolar world, with continued confrontations between the two major super-powers. This led to an increasing militarization of the world, with enormous sums of money allocated for the development of weapon systems of all types. While the Third World countries were not directly parties to this Cold War, they were affected significantly, through the creation of spheres of influence, association with various defense pacts being part of treaty organizations, and through provision of military bases. With the building up of large military industrial complexes and commercializing of military hardware, they themselves became major purchasers of arms. The arms imports of all developing countries (for 1987) was over 34 billion US. dollars. These were used largely for conflicts among themselves... (SXi 144)
The production and sale of military hardware serves to further differentiate the industrialized from the less developed nations. The politics of military and other forms of aid leaves poorer nations more dependent, politically weaker, and deeper in debt with each passing decade. Dr. T. R. Odhiambo describes the debtor nations as an economic house of cards about to collapse:
Africa, and other regions of the developing world, are being weighed down to a standstill by the crushing burden of external debt and internal debt. External debt of many developing countries (for instance Mozambique, Laos, and Bolivia) now exceeds their total gross national product (GNP). In some countries (such as India, Malaysia, and Singapore) internal debt has grown larger than external debt. Many countries find the servicing of these debts almost crippling: for instance, Jordan is expending 36% of its GNP on debt servicing. (SXi 221)
Now, in a post-cold-war era, peace may become reality or false illusion. Efforts to control and reduce super-power stockpiles of nuclear weapons, to reduce arms spending, and to pull troops back to home bases arise from economic need—not simply from peaceful intent. New battle lines are drawn with dollars instead of bullets. Like health care costs on the rise, the price of war has escalated in recent times, mostly because competent weapons require specialized and very costly technology. Arms production, sales, and negotiations for military reductions continue as concurrent events. But, humanity continually marches in opposition to itself. Building and selling war machines continues without increasing global security. The reasons for mixed political agendas is clear when one recognizes that the world—from the countries of the former U.S.S.R., the U.S.A., to the poorest nations—has expended itself beyond reasonable national budgets. The arms race on a regional basis continues to deepen existing debts.
As the global marketplace expands, corporations and governments form partnerships through decision making, tax incentives, and other regulations. These topics are the subject of recent global trading agreements—with the names: APEC, GATT, NAFTA, and WTO. A competitive struggle over automobile, computer, home electronics, and other production platforms draws new battle lines for the developing consumer war. Politics of defense, business, and special interests are therefore blended into driving forces resulting in political and market-oriented global change.
Researchers and policy-makers express concern for greater equality between the developed and developing nations. Political practices of the past leave both richer and poorer nations in an unbalanced situation. Foreign aid is often seen as the solution. Because debtor nations have fewer educational resources and limited finances, they rely on outside funds support contracts for technical services. Historically, foreign aid pays foreign consultants to work in the countries receiving aid. Tragically, very little of the money stays in the local economy. Foreign workers take more pay out of the country than they spend while working and living abroad. But if education and research facilities are constructed in poorer countries, then local peoples will address local problems, improving local conditions, and building greater global stability. The best money creates education and strengthens commerce within each debtor nation such that new growth and debt payments follow. In practical terms, aid that creates a local economy also creates a trading partner. Any program short of this goal widens the abyss.
Temptation and the overriding will to prosper characterizes not only individuals, but systems, governments, and their leaders. Birthing a New World Order requires leadership with vision. Advice to grow slowly—for the sake of our environment—is countered by the political perception that the new order assures an increased standard of living for everyone on Earth. But a material utopia for all brings irreversible consequences with increasing consumption of limited, non-renewable, resources. Humanity only understands change by circumstance and hind sight. Foresight planning is slow to gain acceptance outside of academic circles, environmental movements, and U.N. programs. This jeopardizes long-term planning for a habitable planet. U.N. accords are only effective when nations are united by purpose. A biblical scenario—which is yet to appear in this window—documents a future global unification, but the politics therein speak of power or control but not the environment.
The importance to global change is in looking at how social, biological, and physical sciences all reveal data and signs for more ominous changes in the near future. This is change in every aspect of human and earthly affairs ... globally. The Window looks further to see change as a backdrop to a biblical timeline. Driving forces for change force us to ask the most important questions about our true origin, who we are, why we are here, and what the Scriptures tell us about the future. Change forces us to look deeper to face choice or crisis. Life is an opportunity to look for the answers.
This is just one of many panes in the WindowView. This is a fraction of the process identified earlier within the section entitled 'Convergence.' Keep exploring the view, visit our page titled 'Experience WindowView' to see how global changes are part of a larger holistic paradigm which is the reason behind assembling this cyber-place. Putting the picture together helps to envision humanity's direction along the dimension of time.

Classified Facts About Server Processors Only the Pros Know Exist
Rackmount servers are precisely what you ought to be studying. For instance, the process server has to be in a position to complete and confirm the Affidavit of Service to be submitted in relation to the situation. It can employ a number of different techniques to accomplish service.
New Ideas Into Server Processors Never Before Revealed
Rack servers are made to be set up in computer or server racks. They range in price, depending on the amount and quality of the hardware components in the server itself. Hence, SQL Server won't be in a position to use the hot-added vCPU yet since there isn't a scheduler that could assign a workload to the hot-added vCPU. SQL Server 2012 supports multiple processors if they're on the server. Tableau Server installs numerous processes that work with each other to deliver the qualities which make up Tableau Server.
A server gives you the ability to create an intranet and extranet. Normally, in any organization, computer servers are some of the the main infrastructure. Thus, say you ask your server to go and get x amount of files from the filing cabinet, it's the processors job to deal with that request contemplating where the files are, finding them and bringing them to you. Each digital server acts like it's a wholly distinct machine. Dedicated servers can be found in data centers. Unmanaged servers are usually much cheaper and should you not have any System Administration" experience it can be hard to deal with the server. Previous generation used servers with comparable features can be bought at a reduce price.
The New Angle On Server Processors Just Released
AMD was joined by multiple clients and partners at the international launch event in presenting a myriad of systems, performance demonstrations, and client testimonials. It also needs a healthy, growing data center business to improve its pitiable balance sheet. It wants to challenge Intel on the place where Chipzilla is very dominant. It said the new processors are ideal for data analysis, xSQL and traditional databases. It is facing the same dilemma incumbents have every advantage.
Celeron processors are made for lower-end desktop computers which are primarily employed for web pursuits and basic computing. The Celeron processor is intended to be a desktop CPU and isn't even proper for higher-end desktops, let alone servers. The processor works with Crestron controllers. There are two kinds of Core processors. The original Core processor is known as the i7. Multiple core processors have the ability to multitask much better. All the logical processors in a core, and all the cores in a concrete processor, are assigned to the exact same group, if at all possible.
What You Don't Know About Server Processors
There are several kinds of Atom processor. Our Processors are installed throughout the united kingdom by some of the very best institutions, banks and insurance businesses. There are various processors on the industry.
Our processors are scalable in both the quantity of displays that could be driven and the range of video inputs required. A desktop processor was made to cater to the demands of one person. For instance, if your desktop processor were to somehow fail, the entire workstation gets inoperable. Additionally, when you put in a new processor, you might need to put in a heat sink and fan. To start with, you must make certain the new processor you would like can be utilized with your present motherboard. It is possible to also add user-defined digital processors. There are some server-grade processors in the marketplace.

text: Ward (L) praised Abbas's calls for 'one authority, one law' After a meeting with Palestinian Interior Minister Nassr Yousef in the West Bank city of Jericho on Tuesday, Ward said Palestinian security forces should strive to keep various armed factions in check. "The Palestinian Authority has taken essential steps to ... restructure its forces, to cause a single line of authority to exist," Ward said. "That will enable a more effective mechanism for dealing with law and order on the streets as well as for combating terrorists," he said. Ward hailed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's public calls for "one authority, one law and one gun" but said there was "more to be done, to be sure". The general was appointed by US President George Bush in February to help Abbas stamp out corruption and lawlessness in security services, which according to Israel have fuelled bloodshed.

The summer months are abundant with music festivals and if you're one of the lucky ticket holders, you will need to begin preparation to avoid festival-induced fashion mishaps. Sunburn, rejection due to poor body odour, and injuries relating to improper footwear are some of the most common complaints.
Below are some important tips to remember to ensure such situations will not ruin your weekend:
Gumboots – heavily touted as a festival fashion staple by celebrities such as Kate Moss, these rubber fiends are lethal weapons when combined with hot sun and sweat. Think tinea and other bacterial foot infections! Not to mention, last year alone there were approximately 186 gumboot-related festival injuries recorded*.
The only fail-safe form of footwear for festivals is the humble sneaker. They can generally outlast almost any situation, and the covered toes resist pain from any trodders-of-feet in the mosh pit!
Denim is a great idea, but a denim skirt or any other above-the-knee skirt for that matter, is not particularly ideal. Unless of course, you plan to avoid running, jumping in mosh pits and any strong breezes. Best to stick with shorts and jeans.
Preparing for weather conditions is vital - bring sunglasses for those sunny days and sunscreen to make sure you don't get burned. If the clouds look threatening, bring a jacket, preferably with a hood – a convenient substitute for an umbrella!
Good hygiene often goes astray when outdoor festivals are concerned; camping festivals can get very smelly as the days pass. Deodorant is an absolute must – your mosh pit neighbours will thank you for it! Dry shampoo also works wonders for hiding the fact that you haven't showered in three days.
Try not to bring too many valuable items (a phone can be your camera, watch and erm…phone, all in one) as these can easily get misplaced or stolen at a festival.
Last but by no means least, do not forget your ticket and have fun!
*Gumboot injury statistic may not be entirely accurate.

On Memorial Day weekend, art, dance and musical traditions from Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States will converge in the Mission at the 40th annual Carnaval celebration.
The festival will be held from May 26 - 27 on Harrison Street between 16th and 24th streets. A grand parade featuring floats with multicultural themes and performers will take place on May 27, starting at 9:30 a.m.
This year, the festival pays homage to people who have helped cultivate the Bay Area's multicultural community over the years.
"Many revelers from throughout the Bay Area grew up dancing in the parade and are now seeing their children and grandchildren do the same," wrote organizers.
Vehicles still parked in the festival zone are expected to be towed starting on Friday at 7:00 p.m., but most streets will reopen on May 28 at 2 a.m. SFMTA has posted a list of all street closures.

Sunday's parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. at 24th and Bryant streets, proceed down 24th St. to Mission Street, then turn north towards 17th St. and South Van Ness Ave.
Fifth St. (between Mission and Alabama), 24th St. (between York and Mission), Bryant St. (between 17th St and Cesar Chavez), Harrison (between 15th and 16th), Mission (between 15th and 24th) and Treat (between Harrison and Alameda) will be closed to vehicle traffic during the parade.
SFMTA also announced that bus lines 12, 14/14R, 27, 33, 48, 49, 55 and 67 will see reroutes on Sunday, while the 9 and 22 may see increased ridership and delays. All routes will return to normal service after the streets are cleared at approximately 4 p.m.

Several animal welfare organizations housed in the area will also be affected by the festival.
"On Sunday - parade day - we're closed, but still offering limited services -- drop off of stray animals; lost pet searches; lost pet redemptions and dog licenses," Animal Care & Control (1200 15th St.) spokesperson Deb Campbell told us.
SFSPCA (250 Florida St.), on the other hand, isn't changing its hours. "We'd love for people to stop in and visit if they'll be in the Mission," spokesperson Krista Maloney told Hoodline.
"We are not hosting our traditional open house events because Carnaval makes it difficult for clients to get to us, but we will be open by appointment," said Bunny Rosenberg of senior dog rescue Muttville.
"With all of the noise and people traffic from the parade we try to get as many dogs as possible into foster homes to minimize their stress," she added.

The emergency services of San Francisco Veterinary Specialists (VCA) at 600 Alabama St. won't be available for the weekend as well. The pet hospital announced to their clients that it will be closed from May 25 at 6 p.m. through May 28 at 8 a.m.
"If you have an emergency with your pet, please contact your primary care veterinarian," they wrote, adding that another available emergency hospital is SPCA's Pacific Heights Campus.
