Herein contains a series of blogs about one of the World's 7 Epic Journeys. This is a detailed account of how to cross one of the oldest trade routes on the planet in today's modern age. When the route was first founded, it took two years to cross on a camel, however now it can be done in just under a month - with many different paths and stops along the way, where will the Silk Road take you?
Guest blog:
A place where not many young travellers venture to, yet once you go, you remain grateful that it is a place yet untouched by a high influx of tourists, and that you can experience the true beauty that Norway has to offer without having to push through crowds or to wait in line for hours.
The life of a tour leader. Yes. It is awesome, but sometime it is challenging and downright scary. It can be hard to pick a good company to work for and deal with difficult clients every single day. This blog will give you a good idea as to whether the job is for you. If you're convinced after reading move onto - How to become a tour leader.
Cruising? It's clearly not for everyone. This article will help you to determine if its a trip you want to take or a trip you really don't.
Samarkand. City of Legend. Although these days most people have probably never heard of it. It's in Uzbekistan, which in all fairness a lot of people haven't heard of either. Samarkand was founded by the Sogdians, sometime between the 7th & 8th Centuries BC. It profited from it's prime location on the Silk Road, and all sorts of things have been traded in its bazaar (still open today).
Trying to catch a train in China can be a somewhat daunting experience, from the preparation, to getting a ticket and even to get getting a meal onboard. In a country where there is often little to no English spoken, and miles of red tape to deal with, catching a long-distance train seems like a veritable nightmare at times. I'm hoping this article will make things a little bit easier.

When people hear the word "Italy" they think pasta, lasagne, wine and a bunch of old buildings. Maybe. Some people may not even know that much. But Italy is definitely more than just a few plates of pasta.
Life is short. Life is beautiful.
Feeling a little confused as you walk through all the ruins on what's, what and what relevance it has? Why not print out this quick guide to help you out, written by a qualified Egyptologist. (Yours truely of course
Traveling. It always produces a good story. This is a collection of some of the craziest of mine. Some of them are laughable, some unbelieable and some are down right dangerous and terrifying. One thing is for sure and that is ALL of them made me feel alive and I wouldn't be who I am today with out the experiences I've had on the road.
With the danger of the state of emergency past, very few visitors to Turkey and the very favourable exchange rate between the USD/AUD & the Turkish Lira there has never been a better time to visit Turkey.This is a place very close to my heart, after all I used to live there, and it was where I landed my very first tour leading job.These are some of my top recommendations.
While you shouldn't let your dietary needs dissuade you from taking this incredible journey, I'm not going to sit here and tell you, "it's all good" because it most certainly isn't. This is an area of the world where you will have trouble trying to meet certain dietary requirements. I've designed this blog to offer practical information about safe eating while on this amazing journey.
Your job is awesome! Do you get paid to be on holidays?! How do I get a job like that? I've had a few people ask me how to go about getting a job as a tour leader, so I've finally decided to write a blog about it. Before reading any further, I strongly suggest reading the accompanying blog –Is tour leading for you? I don't want to put you off and yes it is an awesome job, but there are things you need to know before progressing any further.
Egypt. The Pyramids. The reason most tourists visit this stunning country, however if you're like me and want to travel to some of the lesser known sights in this spectacular country I've compiled a list of some of the best ones to visit. The may take a little more time and effort, but trust me they are well worth it.
Trust me read this before you even attempt it. My first experience coming in from the airport on this metro was to get lost for 2 hours!
Egypt. It's a place that evokes a romantic kind of curiosity in most
travelers, or indeed most anyone. It also a place that right now,
most people wouldn't consider traveling to, at the moment Trust me, it's
a great time to go, with the reduced tourist numbers, it's the only
time you will be able to get that picture-perfect shot of the Pyramids
with out another soul in it. How's that for an Instagram shot!
In New York City? Missed out on getting Jimmy Fallon tickets before you go? Never fear this guide will help you figure out the standby process and help you calculate your chances of getting in.

Rig sales to Saudi JV lift Rowan back to profit
U.S. offshore driller Rowan Companies returned to quarterly profit despite lower revenues helped by the sale of rigs to a joint venture with Saudi Aramco.
For the fourth quarter 2017 Rowan reported a net income of $112 million compared to a net loss of $24.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The net income for the current quarter included a $151.7 million gain on the sale of assets to ARO Drilling. The net loss for the prior-year quarter included a $33.6 million loss on extinguishment of $463.9 million of debt.
ARO Drilling is a 50/50 joint venture between Rowan and Saudi oil company Saudi Aramco created to own, operate, and manage offshore drilling rigs in Saudi Arabia. Rowan contributed three of its rigs to the JV with plans to add two more at the end of 2018.
ARO Drilling generated revenue and net income of $48.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the period October 17, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
For the fourth quarter 2017 Rowan's revenues decreased to $296.7 million compared to revenues of $351.8 million in the prior-year quarter.
Tom Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While the market is showing signs of improvement, we remain mindful of the importance of operational integrity and cost focus."
When it comes to Rowan's fleet utilization, the deepwater section of the fleet tumbled from 75% in 4Q 2016 to 34% in last year's fourth quarter. Jack-up fleet utilization went up from 63% to 77%. This means Rowan's total fleet utilization in 4Q 2017 was 70% compared to 65% in the prior year quarter.

Terrorized by Santa
I've always been fascinated with parents obsession to get their kids picture with Santa. Any child under five is usually completely terrified, yet the parents plug along.
Wouldn't you be terrified of Hung Over Santa?
Here's a gang-terrification. I'm sure that this picture is cherished by their parents.
This Santa seems to be oblivious to this girls pain. Must be that Reindeer Grog he had earlier.
You'll never escape Kris Kringle! I know where you live!!
You'll never escape, part 2. Is this really worth minimum wage Santa?
Little brother highly objects to Santa. Big brother pictures the huge rake-in he'll get for being a good boy.
She's objecting because of Santa's alternative costume. Wouldn't you? It's horrible!
So answer me this…you'd really put your kid on this mans lap? Welcome to my generation's drunk Santa's…
Do you have any of these kinds of Santa photos in your photo albums?

Your ISP can sell your browsing history: Here's how to protect your privacy
Your ISP provider sometimes knows more about you then you do. As strange as this sentence may first seem, it is true. You'd be surprised to learn how much information ISPs store about you and your browsing history.
This data can then be used to predict or influence your behavior. It is worth mentioning that your ISP can also sell your browsing data. Yes, this is legal in many parts of the world.
However, many users don't agree with the current privacy practices used by ISP companies and other tech companies. The user data privacy war has been going for quite some time now. On the one hand, users accuse tech companies of violating their privacy and collecting data without their consent. On the other hand, tech giants claim that they're only using this information as a means to improve the quality of their services and products.
Needless to say, the two parties have yet to reach common ground.
So, if you want to prevent your ISP from accessing, collecting and selling your browser data, then this article is for you.
We'll give you a few quick tips and suggestions on how to protect your online privacy and hide your browsing history from your ISP's prying eyes.
Hide your browsing history from your ISP
1. Install a reliable VPN software
If you haven't installed a VPN tool yet, you should do it now. VPNs are powerful and reliable solutions that you can use to protect your privacy while online, as well as enhance your network security.
With the help of a VPN software, you can hide your true location and encrypt Internet traffic. Your ISP won't be able to track your browsing history because it looks like you're surfing as somebody else. Moreover, it won't be able to tell what pages you have visited and use that information to create a user profile about you.
So, if you want to browse the Internet anonymously, it's critical that you install a VPN software, such as CyberGhost for example.
- Buy now Cyber Ghost VPN (77% flash sale)
Now, the VPN offer is quite diverse. There are VPN services suitable for gamers, others allow you to watch geographically-restricted video content such as Netflix, and more.
For more information about the best VPN services that you can use on your Windows 10 computer, check out the guides available below:
- 3 best VPNs without registration
- 5 of the best antivirus with free VPN
- Ranking the 8 fastest VPN for Windows 10 in 2018
- Best VPN software for Hulu [2018 List]
- Can VPN improve ping and gameplay? 4 best VPN tools for gamers
- Top 5 VPN for Edge browser to protect your privacy in 2018
Speaking of VPNs, stay alert when receiving various messages and invitations to test particular VPN services. Keep in mind that in the age of no privacy, VPN scams are on the loose.
2. Use a privacy-friendly browser
While most mainstream browsers support the use of cookies and other tracking solutions, fortunately there are also privacy-friendly browsers that you can rely on.
One such example is Tor. This browser protects your privacy by switching your communications around a network of relays. In this manner, nobody can see what websites you've visited and websites can't track your physical location.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to download and use Tor browser on Windows 10.
3. Use a privacy concerned search engine
There are also search engines out there that protect user privacy and don't store your IP address or search queries.
One such search engine is DuckDuckGo. Speaking of DDG, its CEO recently hosted an AMA session on Reddit, answering user questions about online privacy.
Of course, the main disadvantage when using privacy-focused search engines is search result accuracy. To call a spade a spade, these tools aren't powerful enough to deliver results similar to Google's in terms of accuracy. Of course, you can somehow fix this issue by adding additional keywords.
Other private search engines that don't track you include:
- WolframAlpha — provides knowledge base style results, somewhat similar to Google Snippet
- StartPage — this search engine is enhanced by Google, thus providing more accurate results. However, unlike Google, it removes identification information from your queries, it doesn't store your IP address
- SwissCows — this browser with a funny name relies on intelligent answer engines based on semantic information recognition to deliver the best possible results to your queries. Swisscows doesn't even analyze user data. Topics, IP addresses and personal information are not stored.
All the servers are located in Switzerland and neither the US nor other data snoopers can get their hands on this information.
In all honesty, it is worth mentioning that VPN software, private browsers and search engines cannot fully protect you from ISP interference. Keep in mind that ISPs can still push traffic monitoring software and ads even when a VPN is in place.
Well, by following the solutions listed above you'll at least make the browsing history collection job much more difficult for your ISP.
We'd also recommend installing a dedicated privacy protection software to add an extra layer of protection. For more information about the best privacy tools that you can use on your Windows 10 computer, check out this guide.
More privacy solutions are in the works
The good news is that more privacy software solutions will be available in the future. Where there is demand, there will be supply. Internet and technology users have already expressed their disagreement against the user profiling practices and data collection strategies that tech companies currently use.
Speaking of which, it is worth noting that a firewall that blocks facial recognition engines is already in the works. It should be available on the market this May.
We're sure that many more privacy protection software will be developed in the coming years. It is not too far-fetched to suggest that this privacy protection software business will become as big as the antivirus business.
Users want to take full control over their data and these solutions land at the right time.
What's your stance in this user data privacy debate? Are you planning to install a VPN and use a privacy-friendly browser and search engine on your computer?
Have you ever had an unpleasant online experience when you simply felt that someone or something was spying on you?

I was really hyped when Marvel announced they would be adding Captain Marvel to the MCU and even better she would be added to Avengers End Game had me ecstatic. Like most everyone else waiting months to see this movie and watching the trailers that were released made the hype surrounding this movie reach new heights. But really I did not buy into the hype so I went in with the premise that I had to lower my expectations. After months of waiting I watched an advanced screening of Captain Marvel with my popcorn and a large Coke in hand I was ready. I can say that after watching Captain Marvel it was predictable but enjoyable as it does not break any new ground but instead sticks to the typical Marvel formula that has worked for almost every MCU film with the exceptions of Iron Man 2 and Thor The Dark World.
What You Need To Know About Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is a movie filled with 90's nostalgia and the soundtrack will give you all the feels with Garabage, Elastica, No Doubt and even some Smashing Pumpkins references thrown in the background. At it's core Captain Marvel is a movie that will play to the most human element in all of us and that is no matter how many times you get knocked down we all find the strength to get back up again. This is an element that will continue to play out throughout the movie and really connects you to the main character Carol Danvers as we can all see something in her that we can relate to. Actress Brie Larson does a great job portraying Captain Marvel which was surprising as the movie trailers kind of made her look unemotional and gave her cold feel as if though she could not human very well. This was not the case as Captain Marvel is strong, vulnerable, intimidating along with her lighter side showing her quick wit you really get to know and like her character throughout the movie.
The Best & Worst Things About Captain Marvel
While most of the movie centers around Carol Danvers trying to find out who she is she via flashbacks of what her life was like before she left Earth and became part of Starforce an elite Kree military unit. You also get to see a much more light hearted version of Nick Fury portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson who at times kind of steals the spotlight with his comedic humor. The banter between both Carol Danvers and Nick Fury throughout the movie is fun to watch and they work well together. The scene stealer will no doubt be Goose the cat who is actually not a house cat but an alien called a Flerken. The appearance of the Kree extremist Ronan The Accuser is short and not really necessary but none the less it was great to see the character on the big screen once again. The Skrull play a pivotal role in the film and have some memorable scenes that will serve as a platform for some great comedic gold. While Captain Marvel does not break any new ground in the MCU it is a solid addition and while it is predictable at times the film was enjoyable and fun to watch that is why I am giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Seeing as I do get asked quite a few ethical fashion questions in real life (and should probably do a post about these q's so I shall try to remember them!) I thought I would take to the internet and ask them on here as well! It is a great way to find out answers to questions you might not have thought about before, or ones that even I had thought of so I hope I can dispel some of your queries regarding buying ethically. Maybe this may turn into a series on my blog?
Is buying second hand considered ethical even if the item wasn't produced ethically?
I think this isn't just a question of the item but also the language that surrounds clothing that is either 'ethical','sustainable' or both. So yes the item isn't produced ethically but it is still sustainable as it didn't go to waste or landfill and you're giving it a loving home. I think as a result of the principles as to why you're buying that item it can be ethical. I did a quick google as to the definition of 'ethical' and it came up with: relating to moral principles or the branch of knowledge dealing with these so I think that you are definitely ethically buying because of the principles that have guided you to make that purchase. With buying second hand fast-fashion though, be careful about what you buy! Have a look at the labels and see what material it is made out of because it may be that it is a fabric that might not last that long. I think on my next solo charity shopping trip I'll bring my camera and write a tips and tricks of charity shopping post because there are definitely ways in going to second-hand shops with a more attuned eye: Becky from Cruelty Free Becky is someone who does this incredibly well.
Do you think it's okay to spend gift cards in unethical shops?
I'm divided on this question. Whenever I get given a voucher from an unethical shop, say Zara for example, I know that the voucher will most probably be better used by someone else so I usually give it to my mum or a friend. I know it can be hard to see me writing that as someone who should probably be advocating ethical fashion all the time but I'm all about being honest on here and that is my honest answer, we can't be the perfect consumer all the time. However, if it is a shop like New Look or Urban Outfitters I will use the voucher myself, for things that will last. Homeware, books or notebooks or for example; Urban Outfitters in particular is great for selling independent artists/authors. There are more sustainable ways of spending a voucher in an unethical shop but it just depends how strong you feel about boycotting them.
Do you feel a pressure to buy ethical clothing as you advocate ethical fashion?
Yes and no. Yes because I feel that if I were ever to buy something from a fast-fashion brand or a brand that wasn't totally ethical/controversial in its information about the brands ethics then I would feel responsible for putting that out online for those of you that read my blog to see. I always try to practice what I preach so of course that would come with some guilt if I were to do that. On the other hand, I absolutely love what I do and want to continue advocating ethical and sustainable fashion because in today's society it is something needs to be discussed, the recent news stories about Bangladesh ejecting safety inspectors is testimony to the constant up and down state of workers rights and of concerns with fast-fashion. I've been in contact with some amazing people as a result of ethical fashion; they spur me on to be a better consumer and ultimately it feels great to buy something that is ethical and thoroughly loved.
What made you want to start buying ethically?
I'm not really sure what the point was where I was like… 'YASSS!! This could change something' but it was more like a lead up with little changes that made me realise it was a possibility to buy ethically without spending all the money I earn on one item of clothing. In Year 9, so when I was about 14, my Geography teacher set us all a project about Primark and its manufacturing methods. Needless to say I was shocked and vouched never to buy from Primark again. On top of that, given that I did Textiles for GCSE we had to learn about organic cotton and I actually made a toy fox from organic cotton and dyed it using onion skin. Learning about more the sustainable side of fashion also aided my desire to write about it and learn more and share what I've learnt. I'd like to think that my blog would become kind of a portfolio for ethical fashion tips, whether that is as a student or just those looking for ethical inspiration.
Is buying ethical clothing only possible if you're in a position of privilege?
Yes and no. While it is true that some new ethical clothing brands can be incredibly expensive, they're purchases with the intention of lasting for years longer than usual fast fashion items. So it may seem like a lot at the time to spend but the price per wear may be the same. That said, it isn't like a lot of people have the funds to be spending extortionate amounts on new clothes. I did a post about buying ethically as a student but it really applies to anyone who is on a budget. There are ways to buy ethically beyond the face value brands that you may consider a lot more expensive. If you do have your heart set on buying new clothes, however, try and hunt for the clothes that you desire in the sales! People Tree in particular are so great for this. The truth is, if you do have the money available to spend a lot on ethical fashion the options are definitely there. But for most of us that don't, there are other ways. Don't lose faith!
Favourite place to shop vintage?
I thought this was quite a nice question to end on. I personally just live for charity shops and there isn't a particular vintage shop that I would recommend, especially in the UK as I don't live in a big city like London or Bristol. When I went to Stockholm, there was this incredibly curated vintage shop called Humana Second Hand so if you're ever in Sweden I would highly recommend checking one out! Online, I'm a huge fan of Depop and I've finally caved and bought my first purchase from ASOS Marketplace as well so I would highly recommend them for online vintage goods. I know there are lots of gorgeous vintage stores on Instagram but most of them are based in Paris or America *books train/plane ticket just to be able to purchase their clothes* so they're just a figure of inspiration at the moment. Also, a lot of vintage clothing can be priced so expensively so it is always worth hunting out the best buy. One brand based in the UK and that I found through Tolly is Dirty Disco who also happen to be on ASOS Marketplace 🙂
If you got the end, I applaud you! The ethical content is dwindling on here but then my content is petering out as a whole. I promise I'm not going to disappear in thin air; life is just a lil' busy (as I have expressed in every post since September it seems).
To conclude, I got quite a few questions about just living more ethically in general so if you would like me to do a post on them then do like me know! Also if you have any subsequent q's I shall try my best to answer them in the comments/twitter/instagram.

Happy New Year! I can't believe 2015 is already over but I hope the year ended well for all of you and you're looking forward to starting fresh in 2016.
In an act of random craziness that's true to my character, I decided to paint our Jack & Jill bathroom (it's the one that connects to the 'king' guest bedroom and my craft room) on Thursday. You see, I originally planned to paint over the striped walls in the guest bedroom, but last minute, decided that the fleshed-toned walls in the bathroom bothered me far more.
Here was the space before:
And some progress and one-coat shots. I went with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray and love the look so far.
Even without the lights on, both areas of the bathroom feel so much brighter now. I can't wait to get the second coat up next weekend! Granted, I'll then have to move onto the cream trim, as it doesn't look quite right with the new color, but as we know, nothing really does. Hopefully I can wrap up the space next weekend and show you the whole mini-makeover.
The funny thing is that now the bathroom is painted, the stripes in the guest bedroom don't feel so stark and modern to me any longer. I think there may be hope to keep them!
In other decor news, I shared this image on Instagram and you guys seemed to love it as much as I do! I would love to find art just like that for our living room. And how amazing does it look against the white board & batten walls? I'm definitely crushing hard over this look.
I've rounded up a few pieces of artwork below that I think would give a similar vibe:
On New Year's Eve, we went out with our good friends to Bonefish Grill and then headed to their place afterwards. We almost made it to midnight, but ended up leaving about 15 minutes prior. Getting old sucks (but I actually love not staying up late)! Here's an obligatory kissy face photo to prove we actually got ready and didn't wear sweat pants all night like we really wanted to do 😉
A lot of our weekend also looked like this. Except I was usually laying down in the vacant white area as well 😉 I have this weird thing about naps. I refuse to sleep in our regular bed and I really hate falling asleep on a couch. So, whenever I do nap (which honestly is at least once a weekend), I head to the guest bedroom and the cats usually join me.
I ordered this book on Thursday and got it Saturday (God bless Amazon Prime). I've already started to dig into it and really hope it helps me to be more organized and ban the clutter in our home. I know a lot of others really love the book (I think I'm about a year late reading it) so I'm excited to finish it up and try some of the techniques. I can assure if you, if I have luck, my husband will be forced to read it as well 😉 Have any of you read it? Thoughts?
On Sunday, as we were about to head to the grocery store, we randomly decided to clean out our fridge and pantry of all the expired food we had. It was so bad guys. I wish I had a 'before' shot, but here it was after a good 30 minutes of clearing things out. Previously, every inch of the shelves were covered with food and things were pretty haphazard. It isn't amazing by any means at this point, but if feels so good to have things fresh and cleaned up! Maybe the 20 pages of the book I had read so far made a difference…
I have about 90% of our Christmas decorations all put away and I'm loving the blank space. Usually I'm sad everything looks so drab, but this year I haven't even brought any throw pillows back out, because I'm just soaking in all the calm neutrals for a few more days. I was borderline getting anxiety with all of it still up and now I feel like I can breathe again!
I'm eyeing this indigo rug for our dining room. The cats have literally destroyed the one we have from West Elm and this one is affordable, beautiful and has great reviews. I love the vintage-y washed out vibe in rugs lately. In the review on this one, there is an image in one of the comments and it looks so beautiful in a 'real' space.
We close on our rental this week so I can plan to give you a mini tour next week. The great news is, I listed the property on Tuesday and we already have a half dozen people interested and have some showings lined up as early as Friday. Hopefully we can get it rented quickly to the right person!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and that your first week in the New Year is productive!

Q: What training do I need to become a hockey coach?
A: If you aspire to coach minor hockey, you must obtain the appropriate coaching level as defined by Hockey Canada's National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) regulations, by the deadline set by your member branch. These dates vary from province to province, so please check with your member branch.
The course you require to become Trained and/or Certified depends on the level you are – or will – be coaching. Each stream of training is tailored to offer the learning and skills content appropriate for that level of athlete.
You can find out what coaching clinics you need to attend by visiting the NCCP Levels and Requirements page.
If you still need to complete the Coach 1 (Intro to Hockey Coach) or Coach 2 (Coach Level) courses, you must complete these modules online through Hockey University and then attend and fully participate at an in-person coach clinic to earn Trained status.
To summarize, here are the three steps to becoming a Trained coach:
STEP 1: Log in to eHockey
STEP 2: Find your member branch, select a clinic from the list and register
STEP 3: Attend an in-person clinic
Q: What is the minimum age for coaching hockey?
A: The NCCP Policy on Minimum Age states that "the minimum age for the designation for a coach as NCCP Certified is 16 years of age."
Any person younger than 16 and older than 14 may enrol in and complete NCCP or NCCP qualifying education opportunities; where a National Sports Organization:
Your provincial/territorial government, or designated delivery, agency could also authorize your enrolment in multi-sport modules.
Any person younger than 16 and older than 14 will be designated on the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) database with an underage status indicator.
Q: Help. I can't find the clinic I want to sign up for.
A: Please contact your member branch directly if you can't find a coaching clinic being offered in your area.
Q: I have never used eHockey before, and do not have an account. What do I do?
A: eHockey is an online platform containing many resources Hockey Canada and your member branch has on file for coaches, players, officials and safety personnel. You can log in or create a new account by accessing the eHockey webpage.
Q: Do I need to start at Coach 1 and work my way up?
A: No. You can take the course that you are required to have for the level you are coaching. For example, a coach can register for a High Performance 1 course without having completed any other programs. Each stream of training is designed to cover pertinent learning and skills content appropriate for the level of athlete which you'll be coaching.
Hockey Canada's Levels and Requirements page offers details about certification pathways.
Q: I took a coaching course a while back. Why is it not showing on my eHockey file?
A: Please contact your member branch. Provide it with as much information as possible and it will look in to your coaching records/profile for you.
Information you will need:
Q: Do I have to be certified?
A: Certification is not required at all levels. Hockey Canada's minimum standards can be found on its Levels and Requirements page. Be sure to check with your member branch as well. It may have further requirements for coaches within your province.
Q: How do I get certified in coaching with Hockey Canada?
A: All available levels of certification with Hockey Canada require, at a minimum, a successfully-evaluated written assignment and an online multi-sport evaluation through our partnership with the Coaching Association of Canada. Development 1, High Performance 1 and High Performance 2 also require you to complete successful field evaluations. For more information on certification pathways, please visit Hockey Canada's Levels and Requirements page.
Q: Can I get certified at all levels in Hockey Canada's coaching programs?
A: Within Hockey Canada's coaching programs a coach can certify in Coach 2 – Coach Level, Development 1, High Performance 1 and High Performance 2. For more information on certification pathways, please visit Hockey Canada's Levels and Requirements page.
Q: How long does it take to get certified?
A: Levels of the game that require you to complete field evaluations can take much longer than the courses that only require an evaluation of a written assignment. The certification process can range from a month up to two full hockey seasons. The Hockey Canada Levels and Requirements page contains more details about this process.
Q: Would my hockey education or certification from another country have any equivalency to Hockey Canada's programs or requirements?
A: There are no equivalencies offered. You must complete Hockey Canada's courses to coach in Canada. For more information on certification pathways, please visit Hockey Canada's Levels and Requirements page.

Euphonix 017By Jon Nix On
Here is my latest Euphonix mix, a slamming 120 minutes of euphoric trance.
Opening with a fantastic new remix of one of the greatest Jan Johnston vocals ever, it starts off a little deeper and darker. It soon starts galloping with some relentless uplifting trance, going a bit psy towards the end. I've saved the best till last, Orion by Billie Gillies is one of the best trance tracks I have heard for a very long time! Was a free download too on Soundcloud.

Family Dinner at Three Broomsticks
MouseSavers.com reader Jatinder reports: "the family dinner at Three Broomsticks in Harry Potter was a great bargain and decent food for an amusement park. For $50 (10% off with AAA) you get a large salad with Italian dressing, 4 pieces of chicken (2 each breast/wing and leg/thigh), 4 ribs, sautéed vegetables and roasted potatoes. Nothing fried and all quite tasty, both rare in an amusement park."
Refillable Drinks & Popcorn Buckets
For cheap snacks, you can't beat the refillable soft drink mugs and popcorn buckets available at Universal Orlando. Prices below are subject to change at any time:
- Many locations throughout both theme parks and CityWalk sell refillable soft drink mugs for $7.99 plus tax. Refills cost 89 cents plus tax. Although the signs suggest that the refills are good on the day of purchase only, in reality you can bring your mug back on future days and get the cheap refills.
- MouseSavers.com reader Clement P reports that in March 2012, Universal was offering a buy two, get one FREE deal on the soft drink mugs, making them an even better deal if you have at least 3 people!
- Many locations throughout both theme parks (but not CityWalk) sell refillable buckets of popcorn for $4.99 plus tax. Refills cost 89 cents plus tax. Although the signs suggest that the refills are good on the day of purchase only, in reality you can bring your bucket back on future days and get the cheap refills.
AAA/CAA Discounts
Members of the American Automobile Association (AAA) or the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) save 10% at select dining and merchandise locations:
- Select locations in the two theme parks. (Offer excludes merchandise or food carts, tattoos, alcohol, tobacco, candy, film, collectibles and sundry items.) If you belong to AAA or CAA, be sure to ask at every theme park restaurant and shop whether there is a discount.
- Universal Orlando CityWalk restaurants and shops. (Offer excludes merchandise or food carts, tattoos, alcohol, tobacco, candy, film, collectibles or sundry items. Discount on food, non-alcoholic drinks and merchandise at all CityWalk restaurants and shops with the exception of Emeril's, Bubba Gump, Fossil and Fresh Produce.) Valid up to six people per AAA membership card. Show your membership card to get the discount.
Universal Express Plus Pass
With the purchase of a regular-priced ticket or pass, you can pay an extra fee (which varies by season, usually $15-$45 per person) to get the Express Plus Pass. It gives you one entry through the Express entrance for each attraction that participates, with no pre-determined ride time and no need to pick up a pass for each attraction. I think this would be worth the extra money only at very peak times in the parks.
Tips and Tricks for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
- If you plan to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter you would be wise to get in line at the front gates of Islands of Adventure at least an hour before the official opening time.
- Once inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, your best touring plan is:
- Ollivander's is a very cute 5-minute show that Harry Potter fans will enjoy. (If you're not a Harry Potter fan, just skip it completely.) Due to the show's small capacity, the line can be very long. If you want to experience the show, try first thing in the morning. If the line is already long when you get there, wait and try again at lunchtime, or in the last hour before the park closes.
- Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is the "big" ride that you don't want to miss. See below for tips and tricks.
- Shopping – All of the shops are small and there can be long lines to get in as the crowds build. If you want a wand, the same ones sold at Dervish and Banges (which almost always has a long line to get in) are for sale at a cart near Forbidden Journey.
- Three Broomsticks/Butterbeer – If you don't care about eating a meal in Three Broomsticks, go in during a non-mealtime and get a Butterbeer. The staff in Three Broomsticks may tell you to go out on the patio if you "only" order Butterbeer. Try to ignore those instructions, because the patio is not themed to any degree. You want to be inside, where you can enjoy the owl special effects. (Note that during non-mealtimes, it's MUCH faster to get a Butterbeer in Three Broomsticks than to wait in the long lines at the Butterbeer carts on the street! Also, almost everyone seems to like the frozen Butterbeer better than the regular.) There can be long waits at mealtimes for Three Broomsticks during busy times of year, so if you want to eat there, either book a vacation package that includes breakfast, or try to eat at an odd hour.
Tips and Tricks for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
- The single rider line for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey usually goes very fast. "Single rider" means you're willing to fill any empty seat and not ride with the rest of your party. Signage is minimal for the single rider line: ask a Team Member at the beginning of the line outside the Castle.
- The single rider line bypasses the amazing Castle effects, which you will definitely want to see, but there's a way around that. You can go through the "tour" line to see Hogwarts instead of standing in the normal line. You can take your time, enjoy all the animations and stick around to see the multiple versions of each one. Then when you're ready to ride, go in the single-rider line. MouseSavers.com reader Jeffrey L reports, "The normal line was 60 minutes or longer, but I took the tour and rode 3 times [in the single rider line] with almost no wait each time."
- Lines for the lockers outside of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey are long and cause big bottlenecks. To avoid this, try not to bring things like camera bags or day packs that will have to go in a locker. Alternatively, pay for an all-day locker at the front of the park. A small waist pack or small items (cell phone/camera/sunglasses) that you can stuff in a pocket will allow you to skip the lockers. However, if you are borderline on fitting into the seats (see below), you won't want anything in your pockets or around your waist that could bulk you up.
- The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey attraction has significant size restrictions. There is a minimum height requirement of 48 inches. Also, some larger-sized adults do not fit in the unusual overhead seat restraints. Seats on some cars now have modified restraints that accommodate more body types. If you are in the "obese" BMI category (check your BMI here), like more than 30% of American adults, you may need one of the seats with the modified restraints. People with large chests (about 48″ or more), large midsections and/or large thighs may also need to use the modified restraints. Sample seats are available at the front of the attraction and offer a "traffic light" system: red light, you can't ride; yellow light, you can wait for one of the newly modified seats; green light, you can take any seat. If you think you may be borderline on fitting into the restraints, be sure to wear non-bulky clothing and empty your pockets before riding.

User Interfaces (UI) of applications, since about 2010, are usually implemented by dedicated frontend programs, following a Rich-Client architecture and are based on the Web technologies HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This approach provides great flexibility and power, but comes with an inherent great overall complexity of UIs, running on a continuously changing technology stack. This is because since over twenty years Web technologies still progress at an extremely high invention rate and unfortunately at the same time still regularly reinvent part of their self. This situation is harmless for small UIs, consisting of just a handful dialogs and having to last for just about one or two years. However, it becomes a major hurdle for large UIs, consisting of a few hundred dialogs and having to last for five or more years. This is especially the case for the complex UIs of industrial Business Information Systems. The main scientific contribution of this dissertation is the Hierarchical User Interface Component Architecture (HUICA), a scalable software architecture for Rich-Client based User Interfaces. It is primarily based on the important architecture principle Separation of Concerns (SoC), the derived idea of Hierarchical Composition, the invented design pattern Model-View-Controller/Component-Tree (MVC/CT) and the existing concepts Presentation Model and Data Binding.

November 2016
It seems as if I have been abused for more years than I've been alive. While I am strong, and will accept getting targeted from abusers in order to protect those weaker than myself, I would
not wish my life onto anybody.
My father worked for a large pharmaceutical company in another country. My mother was a student. They'd dated, and well. I wasn't supposed to be conceived, but I was. Then I wasn't supposed to be born. My father tried to push the abortion pill on my mother, despite that it was illegal here. But I was. At 11 months old, I had a severe case of pneumonia in both lungs. I was put on an antibiotic that I ended up being almost deathly allergic to. Mind you, I was 11 months old, not quite 1, yet. Either one could have killed me, but it didn't. I don't recall my father, remember, worked at a pharmaceutical company, who would have known that my anaphylactic reaction was to the antibiotic, not anything else, speaking up.
Growing up in a country where most people were of the same culture and such, as the "different" kid, I had been bullied and beaten up a lot by a lot of other kids. That was bad enough. But my father had psychologically and physically abused me, for things that I could not control.
My mother started off with the psychological abuse. I had forgotten to bring my crayons back home one day, and the next day, she taped a note onto my backpack, which I didn't know what it said until after I'd gotten to school, that stated that I would be sent to school naked if my crayons did not return home with me that day. I was beaten up by at least a couple of boys on the way to school. At school, a few of the girls forced me to lay on the floor with my school skirt up, they pulled my underwear down, and let the other kids see my privates, and even tried to display me near the door, so the boys would see me, too. I also got beaten up on the way home from school by 4 girls. They took grass, dirt, little twigs, etc and stuffed into "every hole" they could find. My mouth, my nose, my ears, even in my eyes, and while being held down by 3 of them, the 4th put some in my private area, also. My mother's only reaction was an evil laugh, stating, "Well, at least the crayons came home". I could not believe my mother cared more about a box of crayons, than me.
After my parents divorced, my mother got physically and sexually abusive with me as well. The sad part? My sister was always treated as a princess. Nothing was ever her fault. There was at least one occasion where my sister had witnessed my mother sexually abusing me, when we were at her then fiance's apartment, who later would be my stepfather for 8 years. The door was open, and I thought I lost a tampon in myself. Rather than discreetly swab once, she not only left the bathroom door open, but, had her hand up in my vagina for at least 5 minutes. I was begging her to stop, even trying to swat her hands off of me, but she wouldn't. She looked at me with this sly look, saying "don't you want me to finish looking for it? I pleaded with her to stop. She kept going. My future step brother, who needed to use the bathroom, had walked past and saw my mother doing this. I was so horrified, I wanted to die on the spot. He told my sister, who walked with him, and she also saw. I didn't want to make this any worse. My sister scowled at me, and stormed off. My step brother came back at least 3 times, maybe more, to see if we were done. My soon to be stepfather also walked past at least 3 times, and my sister had come back another time. In the mean time, here I stood there, with my pants around my ankles, with her kneeling in front of me with her fingers in my vagina, I'm trying to brush her away begging her to stop, and she says in her cold smooth voice, "You like this, I can tell". No matter that I was begging and pleading for her to stop. She only stopped when my stepfather's friend came in, and she practically launched me through the window on the other side of the bathroom, because she, "didn't want this sexist man to see me, this way". Even though he was fat, gross, and nasty old man, it wouldn't have been as bad.
My sister got mad at me, and totally blamed ME for the situation, saying that I had asked for it, because I "let her" touch me like that. I was 12. My sister was 9. My step brother was 8. I couldn't believe my ears. Here I was, begging for my mother to stop, and I was being blamed for her playing in my vagina for what seemed like eternity! I never had felt so gross and slimy like the nastiest garbage on the face of the planet. This truly made me feel like a piece of garbage that even scavengers don't even like me, because I was beneath them, too. A year after my first stepfather and my mother split, she was getting ready to wed the new pastor at the church. The same one who did couples counseling with my mother and my 1st stepfather, and so this pastor has been my stepfather for about 28 or so years.
My mother has sexually, physically, and psychologically abused me on and off from the time I was about 9 or going on 10, until I was about 26 years old. In all of this time, my sister was still the princess of the family, who also has been verbally and psychologically abusive, and my mother NEVER found any fault with her, ever. If anything went wrong, it was always MY fault, and all she'd have to do is pull the tears, and I would get practically beaten by my mother, even when I was doing nothing more than just my homework.
To this day, my sister denies that my mother ever sexually abused me, and thinks I am being ridiculous to the point she has pretty much disowned me. Even after witnessing this event, and maybe even others, she still refuses to acknowledge anything. But you see, my sister was allowed to be as cruel and mean spirited as she wanted to... It was cute, and even funny to our mother that my sister would make me cry. Yet, if I had even looked at my sister the wrong way, my mother would slap me on the face, near the temple. If I said anything even short to my sister, my mother would slap my mouth so hard, I thought my teeth were going to loosen. But, they both still deny anything was wrong.
My mother has always talked down to me, as if I'm some kind of lower form of life, and refuses to accept that she has ever done anything wrong. If I won't allow her to wipe her dirty feet on me, she says I am being disrespectful to her. Respect is a two way street, and she has given me nothing but the ultimate disrespect. No. I do not respect her. I am a 47 year old woman, who has been the family doormat for so long, that it is unfathomable that she is anything but rude, condescending, bitchy, and so forth. I cannot give someone respect if they give me nothing.
She has also "adopted" a guy who was hard on his luck, and has also gone crying to him, about how her daughter (me) hates her, and how she is useless to her own daughter, and doesn't understand why her eldest child doesn't love her. I must admit, yes. I do hate her sometimes. Certain things will cause me to have flashbacks, and each time, my soul gets filled with hate and anger towards her.
At this point, it doesn't happen as often, but, again, she refuses to take any accountability that she has mistreated me for my whole entire life. I will NOT talk to her, because of the fact that I cannot trust her to do the right thing. She has allowed a recovering alcoholic whose sobriety is questionable drive her car with my son as a passenger. She has texted and drove, with my son as a passenger. Instead of apologizing or just promising that it will never happen again, she would either argue with me or act as if either my son or I was lying to her.
My stepfather is a minister, and blindly supports her, that if she says A, he will not listen to one word, if anyone else says B, C or even X Y Z. It is almost pointless to try to tell him, and will not accept the fact that she would lie to him about anything and everything. But believe that? A MINISTER!!! A spiritual leader! The same person who gives marriage counseling and marries people, as well as does couples counseling, funerals, preach, etc. What minister refuses to take in both sides? I feel as if he is just as much a part of the perpetrators' team as both my mother and sister.
I could go on, because this is still not the whole story... I'll just say that my sister always has to be right, no matter what, and will dish out low blows, just to end up being right... She never fights fair, and always kicks below the belt. She is so selfishly bitchy, that at 44 years old, she cannot hang onto a relationship, and in the 10.5 years that she's been a practicing OB/GYN, she is on her 4th job that she is getting ready to quit, because she either gets fired, pushed out, or quits because she "can't handle it", yet accuses me of not being able to hand onto a job, even though she is the one who can't handle hers... But, she equates her not being able to handle being paid a good living as a doctor the same as me losing my 1st pregnancy due to illness that made me sickly while I was pregnant. yes. An OB/GYN, made this comparison.
These are reasons I would not wish my own life onto anyone else. I would NOT wish for anyone who is stuck in a family where their own parents never really wanted in the first place. I do not wish onto other people to be physically, verbally and sexually abused by their own parents, especially same gender incest, which is the most humanly degrading thing that could happen to anyone. I would not wish for anyone else to lose a wanted baby and to have to plan the funeral for your baby or child... These are things that I wish on no one.
Even though I have been in my own place away from my mother and stepfather, I still feel she is trying to sabotage my efforts. She has ruined my clothing for work purposes, and has done things to ensure that my projects don't go as planned. Yet, my stepfather (the pastor) wants to say that they've given me $60-80,000 in financial support... But, with my job interviews being sabotaged over improper clothing, because she took my good, professional clothing and ruined them, I may be out more like at least $1,000,000 or more in income, thanks to her. But, it is still all my fault, if you ask them.
And no. You don't "just get over" this type of systematic abuse, where the abusers band together and make the victim look like the crazy one. Here I am, still at my age, that if I want a relationship with my own mother, I must grovel, allow her to continue to be disrespectful by being verbally abusive, just to get accused that I am harming my son, from me preventing him to see his maternal grandparents. Well. No. I already lost one son. I will NOT let my mother risk my 16 year old by allowing her to have drunk drivers drive my son around, or to have her make him permanently disabled because she texts and drives with him in the car. This is the aftermath of what happens.
Please do not keep victimizing survivors of this type of violence by saying you don't believe them. Most abuse victims do not report, because we fear so many reasons. We might not be believed. We get threatened with more violence. We are abused even further. The courts take the perpetrator's side, or, the sentencing is a joke, and we either have to not take the stand face to face to ensure the perpetrator gets locked up, or, let our stories be twisted for a light sentence, if any, are let off... This is so taxing on those of us survivors, it's exhausting. This is why I speak up for abused children, with is therapeutic for me. I am not sure how I could carry on, with even employers turning me down for a job, because it still feels like no one wants me. But, the abused children need me. This purpose keeps me going.

Zero thinks there's a language called "Austrian"
Download the video before it's gone. The lamestream press will put catlitter over this one too. They owe Dan Quayle an apology. Some comedian made a joke that implied Quayle thought "Latin" was the predominant language in Latin America. Wasn't true but the press reported it endlessly as "fact."
But "the smartest man in the world, the most suave, the uniter, "The One," The One who will "rescue" America's reputation on earth thinks there's an "Austrian" language. Most of us in "all 57 states" know better.

Oddly enough, Jay Leno, by accounts, is still doing Bush jokes. And I thought commedians always wanted fresh material.
Remember back when "journalists" claimed that "well, if the democrats did things as bad as Nixon we'd have been all over them like white on rice."
8 years of Clinton and the big coverup re: Zero's birth, plus questionable (to say the least) appointments, and no end of wet behind the ears Marxism have proven "journalists" to be big fat liars of ommission.

Obama does not fill europeans with confidence.
First he makes noises about downplaying the "special relationship" we Brits have with you American folks.
Then he demands Turkish entry into the EU despite Sarkozy making it very clear that France doesn't want Turkish membership.
And now he manages to insult an entire nation with his ignorance.
At least GW's gaffes were endearing and comic. Obama seems to be far more charisma than substance...

Augustine, yup, exactly right. I think he really blew it with that "Turkey must be in the EU" business. Like HE has a say so? Europeans are rightly concerned letting them in. They may be in Nato, but by the skin of their teeth if you ask me. If you let them in, then you have to take their hordes of Muslims into the EU to live where they want. AFAIK Europeans with any sense at all are starting to get worried the Muslims will outbreed them and eventually get a critical enough mass to overwhelm them, given the birth rates. Some people can still do math.

Remember when we returned to school and had to write an essay about our summer experiences? As the days have passed and perhaps even a hint of change is felt in the breeze, I would like to share about my summer vacation.
So, the story goes like this…I haven't had one yet. What I did on my summer vacation was move office. This was prompted by the need to have a larger and dedicated space for my patients as we have had such amazing growth and progress over the last year.
Moving office is not for the faint of heart. There are a myriad of details that go into planning and transferring and then starting up with in order to complete the process.
The team did an amazing job. Malyn, turns out not only is handy at the front desk, and all things techy, but also can wield a formidable wrench and screwdriver used in furniture assembly. Thanks to some friends and family, my husband Andy, and our neighbors the Roses and Malyn's fiancé Troy, we completed our process with a lot of fun albeit a bit tired and sweaty.
Thank you to the patients who have transferred with us and for hanging in there with the phone issues and scheduling challenges. I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Now that we are in and settled, it is onward and upward. It is fair to say, I love our new space, and have made it my priority to create a healing environment where patients can seek out true integrative health care.
In a recent article regarding GERD and dyspepsia there was this definition of integrative health care, I thought I would share it with you all.
"Integrative medicine is a healing oriented medicine that takes account of the whole patient, including all elements of lifestyle and family health. It emphasizes the powerful triad of the patient-family-practitioner, is informed of the evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies." (Yeh, Golianu ISSN 2227-9067)
Adding to that is the perspective that the body has its inherent wisdom and capacity for self healing. Further we know that the way through healing is most often full of twists and turns, as we can work together in a trusting doctor-patient relationship that combines the mind, body and spirit.
This is a pretty amazing and powerful paradigm in health care and medicine. Adapting this paradigm is not for the faint of heart either. Rather, it is a hero's journey. There is always the call to adventure, then helpers and mentors and usually some scary things to face and overcome. But in the end, the transformation of your health, your disease prevention and your well being of your heart and soul become the beneficiaries of your adventure. You become the "Hero of your own Health".
These principles are taken from the iconic writer Joseph Campbell. His philosophy on the "Hero's Journey" has been applicable through time. This is something that we will be expanding upon over the next months ahead. Framing different health topics through the eyes of being your own hero on your journey. My role is the trusted mentor and sometimes trickster (humor is always appreciated) and one who may bring magical powers as guidance and inspiration. Make no mistake, this is your journey and now your call to adventure.
Whatever your health issue is that you are facing. Whatever the life lessons are that you are learning, whatever the choices are that you are making. They comprise elements of your hero's journey towards a more whole and transformative life.
Remember, all things are sacred. This means having "ah-ha moments", medical imaging such as x-rays, CT scans, herbal therapy, homeopathy, osteopathic manipulation, genome mapping and even pharmaceuticals and surgery. It is all sacred and can be used for healing.
So, here is to each of us as we respond to the many calls to action for our life and for our health.
Be Well,
Dr. Louder

To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My situation is a solemn one. Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism. My will contains directions for my funeral, which will be followed not by mourning coaches, but by oxen, sheep, flocks of poultry, and a small traveling aquarium of live fish, all wearing white scarf's in honor of the man who perished rather than eat his fellow creatures.
George Bernard Shaw
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, Hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
Joseph Addison
Neither let prosperity put out the eyes of circumspection, nor abundance cut off the hands of frugality; he that too much indulgeth in the superfluities of life, shall live to lament the want of its necessaries.
It isn't anything manly to go to the mountains. A man ought to be able to live in the city among people while being so occupied with God that not for a single moment is he empty of Him.
Sari al-Saqati
That law may be set down as good which is certain in meaning, just in precept, convenient in execution, agreeable to the form of government, and productive of virtue in those that live under it.
Francis Bacon
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you're going to live now.
Joan Baez
We should live as though our life would be both long and short.

Here's my take on the New South (new to me, after years of being away and only journeying in and out for relatively short stays): it is the most racially integrated part of the country I have visited, hands down. This is encouraging to me, though I try not to be politically naive. Perhaps I am reading into the situation more positive signs than those on the ground might see. (comments?) Still, I hope I'm right.
I continue to be struck by how what I wrote about racial and regional polarities in 1859 resonates so uncannily with the conversation that's going on in our country today. As with the characters in my book (particularly Serena, at the end), I face the future with a new infusion of hope--though not without an unblinkered realization that hard work still lies ahead.
I have met only three ACW reenactors at my various book events (or at least only three who identified themselves to me): two in Decatur, GA, at the Georgia Center for the Book, and one, Rickey Pittman, an author himself, whose quote from Akira Kurosawa on his business card I like a lot: "The role of the artist is to not look away." Hi, Rickey!
Thanks so much to Dimitri Rotov, who keeps giving me shout-outs, and to all other bloggers who have read or are reading my book. Tip, now that the tour is almost over: you can get it from your library.
Also, for those attracted to the "deacon" part of my blog name: have had some interesting conversations on the role (or lack thereof) of religion in my novel. Will try to post on that when I get back to California, after July 2.

Federal Grant to Help Rural Patients
COLUMBIA (AP) - Missouri is expanding its system of connecting rural patients with medical professionals through live interactive video monitors. The Missouri Telehealth Network will use a $220,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide the technology at 11 new sites and expand services at 19 existing sites by this summer.
The network's director, Rachel Mutrux, says physicians in rural areas will be able to refer their patients to specialists knowing they'll be able to make their appointments without hours of travel.
All 30 new or expanded sites will receive digital stethoscopes that let doctors listen to a patient's heart or lungs over headphones when linked to another site anywhere in Missouri. New sites will receive a complete package of videoconferencing equipment.

Fantastic article. I learned a lot about the product. Thank you. CAN'T WAIT, JUST BOUGHT IT AND GOING TO BUILD IN IT.
Resouces: FUNKYKIT
Website: http://www.funkykit.com/reviews/chassis/win-805-infinity-mid-tower-chassis-review/
This is the review of the InWin 805 Infinity Mid-Tower Chassis. Special thanks to InWin for providing the 850 Infinity chassis which will form part of the prizes for our Mod-My-Box™ 2016 modding competition.
Back in the early days of PC computing, computer chassis used to be dull and boring. In 1998 (yes 1998!), I remember my first PC chassis was actually a full tower ATX case made by InWin. It was a boring beige color with 5 x 5.25″ and 3 x 3.5″ bays. I used it for my very first mod! I used a Dremel to cut 2 x 80mm holes on the top, 1 x 80mm hole in the front and a massive hole on the side panel for a window kit. I then sprayed the whole case gun-metal grey, added some cold cathode tubes and mounted my very own watercooling! Man, those were the days!
It's now 2016, and modified cases are everywhere. In fact, if you're an enthusiast and can't be hassled with modding your case, there are many manufacturers nowadays that sell chassis that are already modified. You can have chassis with side windows, LEDs, extra cooling vents for additional fans, and space for mounting your own watercooling solution. InWin is one such company.
InWin have always been known for their chassis. They recently held their Case Modding contest (finals) at the Computex 2016 exhibition. We were there at Computex to cover their booth, which they showcased their entire range of chassis … from gaming chassis to pre-modified ones.
For those who don't know who InWin are, here's a little blurb taken from their website …
InWin Development Inc., an ISO 9001 manufacturer of professional computer chassis, power supplies and digital storage devices, is the leading provider of enclosure solutions to system integrators worldwide. Founded in 1985, InWin provides high quality chassis that conform to all safety regulations, as well as unsurpassed customer service.
30 years strong, 30 years of pride, and many more to come. Take a glimpse at the process of each product development at #InWin. We know this is a #repost, but what can we say, we're proud of this video and wanted to feature it. https://www.facebook.com/InWinUSA/videos/1011280398952569/
The InWin 805 Infinity sports an interesting feature that will definitely turn heads. Both sides of the chassis are tempered glass, and features a customizable front panel with RGB lighting effect using LED strips and a mirror. The reflection is an illusion that displays endless rows of LED lights fading into the darkness … this effect is referred to as the "Infinity Mirror". This is controlled by their own software called "HALO" which you can download from their website. It's also one of the first chassis I've seen that has a USB 3.1 (Type-C) port at the front.
Ok, enough talk, let's check out the features and specifications of the InWin 805 Infinity Mid-Tower Chassis.
The 805 Infinity's front panel possesses an LED lighting effect using LED strips and a mirror. The reflection is an illusion that displays endless rows of LED lights fading into the darkness; this effect is referred to as the "Infinity Mirror." The 805 Infinity provides users with a luminous visual experience.
You can download the exclusive software driver "HALO" from our 805 Infinity webpage to activate the RGB lighting effect. It is there that you can customize the lighting effect through our "HALO" driver to fully immerse yourself in the 805 Infinity experience.
The elegant and sleek 805 is constructed with high quality aluminium with anodized stylish hairline on the top and front I/O panels.
Both sides and front panels of 805 are finished with 3mm tempered glass which offers not only great protection, but also lets you to enjoy and show your build with others.
Two optional fans can be mounted at the bottom by moving HDD trays to the front to enhance airflow and achieve maximum heat dissipation.
Excellent Liquid Cooling Support for Better Airflow
Overall the 805 can accommodate two radiators (front and rear) to create the ultimate liquid cooling system for best cooling performance, thermal solutions and quick heat dissipation.
The exterior of the InWin 805 Infinity is very sleek and looks aesthetically pleasing. Both sides of the chassis is made from 3mm tempered glass, which is secured by 4 easy to remove thumb screws at each corner. Before mounting any PC components, I recommend taking extra care when removing the tempered glass sides.
The build quality is very good. Smooth edges all round and everything feels solid. The body frame of the chassis is made from Aluminum which makes it pretty light-weight, while the top of the chassis and front panel has a brushed Aluminum effect.
At the bottom of the chassis, there is a rather unique dust guard with magnetic feet, which allows for easy removal and re-attachment. The front panel contains all your usual connectors, including 2 x USB 2.0, mic-in, line-out, 1 x USB 3.0 and interestingly 1 x USB 3.1 (Type-C), which is an added bonus. On the far right, you'll find the HDD activity and power-on LEDs, as well as the power button.
The interior of the 805 Infinity looks very spacious. You can fit various types of motherboard including a full-size ATX, Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX. For larger E-ATX motherboards, I would recommend a full tower chassis instead. The 805 Infinity is a midi tower after all.
The 805 Infinity features a screwless design for mounting hard drives via a bracket that holds 2 x 3.5″ trays. This whole bracket can be positioned at the bottom, middle or at the top for versatility.
For cooling, InWin has included 1 x 120mm at the rear. There is also a bracket at the front of the chassis with room for 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans. Alternatively, you can use this space for your own watercooling solution allowing you mount a 240mm radiator. Additionally, you can also mount up to 2 x 120mm fans on the bottom of the chassis.
This front bracket features a nice InWin logo which lights up when connected to the motherboard.
Over the past few years, I noticed on a lot of premium chassis, a number of manufacturers have started to get rid of the 5.25″ brackets for CD/DVD drives. I guess there isn't a need for CD/DVD drives on premium chassis anymore. This means there's plenty of room for extra cooling, as well as the ability to mount your hard drives in various positions within your chassis.
As far as the 805 Infinity is concerned, there's plenty of room inside. I was able to install the massive Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme Edition with no issues at all. What's more I was able to fit the monstrous Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler with ease.
The front panel features a customizable RGB lighting effect using LED strips and a mirror. The reflection is an illusion that displays endless rows of LED lights fading into the darkness … this effect is referred to as the "Infinity Mirror". This is controlled by their own software called "HALO" which you can download from their website.
I really like the InWin 805 Infinity. It's sleek and looks aesthetically pleasing. The build quality is very good. Smooth edges all round and everything feels solid. The body frame of the chassis is made from Aluminum which makes it pretty light-weight, while the top of the chassis and front panel has a brushed Aluminum effect. What's more, it's one of the first chassis I've seen that comes with a USB 3.1 (Type-C) connector on the front panel.
The tempered glass does make chassis look very classy, and the customizable front panel is definitely a head turner, especially with its RGB lighting and unique mirror effect. I also like the options for extra cooling both at the bottom and front of the chassis. You can amount your own watercooling solution with a radiator of up to 240mm in size.
Now, I know some of you may not like the unique mirror effect with RGB lighting on the front panel. But I guess it's a matter of preference. For me, I love it. It just makes the chassis all "blingy" and extravagantly flashy … hahaha.
The price of the InWin 805 Infinity will set you back USD $250, which I think is acceptable considering it is a premium chassis, that's designed for the high-end users who want to show off their hardware.
Good build quality
Tempered glass
Lots of cooling options
USB 3.1 (Type-C)
Unique mirror effect with RGB lighting
None I can think of
If you're an enthusiast and love to show off your hardware in a midi tower, then the InWin 805 Infinity is for you. With tempered glass on both sides, a unique mirror effect with RGB lighting, USB 3.1 (Type-C) on the front panel, and masses mount of cooling options … it's more than you'll ever need!
