Roller Disco Breaks
I simply love disco and have done all my life. My parents use to have house parties, and all the kids were banished to my bedroom with the coats and a portable black and white TV to keep us quite. However, I was more interested in the ponding bass emanating from the sitting room. I would occasionally sneak downstairs and hide under the stairs, so I hear the tunes and to watch the funny grown-ups dancing.
My dad had quite a good collection of disco records, most of which I later assimilated into my collection. His killer floor filler was 'Feel Mighty Real' by Sylvester, a high energy track that was and still is mind-blowing. Sylvester was a gay black transvestite and in the late 70s that was a dangerous combination. Back then society was not very tolerant, overtly prejudice and extremely homophobic. However, Mighty Real was insanely infectious tune that could make even the most racist and homophobic person dance their ass off.
The disco beat united the entire world for a short period, even punk rock bands like Blondie and The Clash jumped on the bandwagon. Eventually, though the bubble burst as people realised that the music they had been enjoying for the last two years originated from the gay scene in New York.
On July 12th, 1979 50,000 baseball fans packed the Comiskey Park baseball park to whiteness a huge pile of disco records be destroyed by explosives, after the explosion the rowdy fans rushed the field in a crazed rage shattering their disco records.
Radio Disc jockeys and club owners proclaimed 'Disco is dead', and like that the party was over. However, Disco never died, it just returned to its roots. You can still hear Discos influence today; Disco breaks have been sampled by a myriad of Hip Hop, R&B, Techno and House producers, as you listen to these mixes you will note that most of the records you have liked in the past 40 plus years have sampled Disco records.

My first encounter with Seis Cuerdas was a result of an IG campaign video for their latest project requesting the participation of their fans. Interesting. I soon learned this dynamic duo specializes in a distinct style, which combines the sounds of flamenco acoustic guitar with a shredding metal vibe. Quite the contrast! Both Martin and Ezequiel Etcheverry, masters of their craft now share this unique style of playing around the world along with a message of taking better care of our planet, and we are here for it!
TALENTS MAGAZINE (TM): Please share a little background/history. I see you two are brothers, originally from Argentina, currently based in Malibu, California? That's amazing!
MARTIN: Yes, that's correct, we are originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and we moved to the States in 2001.
TM: Be honest. Did you two fight a lot growing up?
MARTIN: No, not really, up to this day we hardly fight or argue.
EZEQUIEL: In the last 10 years, we have probably argued 3 times…
TM: Was music a big part of your family? Did other family members play?
EZEQUIEL: Our parents had a big records collection and we used to listen to music from an early age but none of our family members were actually musicians or had anything to do with the industry.
(Martin pictured)
TM: How did you learn to play and what about the guitar makes it your instrument of choice?
MARTIN: We are self-taught so pretty much all we have learned was by ear and determination. Keep in mind that back in those days we didn't have internet or the technology that we have now, so in order to learn a 5 note guitar lick we would have to rewind and forward the tape or cassette many times.
EZEQUIEL: Yeah, we wore the sh*t out of those tapes! (laughs)
TM: Growing up did you ever dream of having a different career path, or did you always know it would be music?
EZEQUIEL: Music came into our lives at the right time. I was 11 when I started playing guitar and Martin was 15. I can't remember what our dreams in life were before music.
MARTIN: Probably becoming professional soccer players. (laughs)
TM: It looks like you started off playing with a metal band. Can you share a little more about how you got involved? How was life being a part of the band?
EZEQUIEL: Heavy metal, rock, and hard rock music was and still is a big part of our musical influences. We have played in many different bands in that genre. Growing up listening to bands like Iron Maiden, ACDC, Deep Purple, Van Halen, obviously, we ended up playing that kind of music but we were also into guys like Paco De Lucia (R.I.P), Al Dimeola and many others so the flamenco or jazz/flamenco/fusion was also an influence. Playing in all those bands was great and a lot of fun but it wasn't our "voice", that unique or distinctive sound we, all musicians, go after.
(Ezequiel pictured)
TM: How did the idea to form "Seis Cuerdas" come about? Do you remember where you were, what you were doing 18 years ago and how that conversation even started?
MARTIN: I was home in Buenos Aires, I was 19 or 20 and I remember for some reason I started writing some ideas that sounded "flamenco", so I recorded them on a cassette tape, one take, and something hit me inside . . . I knew without a doubt that one day I was gonna do something special with those sounds . . . 15 years later we started Seis Cuerdas and it has been 18 years and 7 albums released of an amazing journey.
EZEQUIEL: It's funny because we started off out of necessity. When we moved to the U.S. we didn't have a job or money so we put together those original ideas that Martin had had for a while and went out there looking for places to play. We also had another hard rock band at the time but then Seis Cuerdas became our main thing, in part encouraged by Janick Gers from Iron Maiden who had told us once, "Ditch that rock band, this is your thing guys!!" True story, he and the other guitar players from Iron Maiden became appreciative of our music.
TM: For each of you separately, which of your albums is your favorite and why?
EZEQUIEL: VOLUMEN IV because I believe it's our finest in terms of composition and arrangements.
MARTIN: It's hard to say, I like them all because each one represents a moment of our career and musical journey, but if I had to pick only one I would go for our latest album SEP7IMO because it represents Seis Cuerdas right here, right now.
TM: I watched the video for Mar Adentro where there is a powerful message concerning water pollution and other aspects of how the human population impacts life on this planet (deforestation, oil pollution from factories). This seems like a cause you feel strongly about. What message would you like to share with your audience about this or any other cause you advocate for strongly?
EZEQUIEL: Yes, it's a deep concern for us; we witness every day the destruction of our planet in many different ways so the idea behind Mar Adentro was to make us aware of that. Hopefully, one day we will stop this madness.
MARTIN: We are currently cutting a video for the song Caras Mas Caras from SEP7IMO (2018) and we are trying to also send out a message about the good and the evil of this society, the two faces of everything, hence the title of the song. It will be online very soon.
TM: It looks like you just finished a world tour! Exciting! Please share some of the highlights. What does it feel like on stage when you connect with different audiences from across the world? Is there different energy from each audience? Does one area have a special place in your heart?
MARTIN: Yeah, we came back from our European tour. It was an eye opener really and it has also opened a window of opportunities for next year, so it was fantastic.
EZEQUIEL: For a musician, there is no better feeling than being onstage, in front of different audiences every night, from different places and different cultures. It's just mind-blowing, not easy to explain with words. The happiness and different emotions you see in people's eyes is our fuel to keep going.
MARTIN: We are what we are because of the people who support us, every city we played has a place in our hearts. If we don't feel that way, we shouldn't be doing this.
TM: Lastly, what advice would you share with other musicians/artists who are just starting out in their craft?
MARTIN: Stay true, amigos!!
EZEQUIEL: Remember, we can buy anything but time . . . make it count!
Currently, Seis Cuerdas is still accepting photo submissions from fans for their upcoming music video Caras Mas Caras from the recent release of their album SEP7IMO. Submissions end o/a 15 November.

Art Nouveau brooch by Jules Chéret, French, circa 1900. A circular yellow gold brooch with a bust of a lady with ornately carved flowing hair and ribbon, wearing a diamond choker set with three rose cut diamonds, all with an approximate total weight of 0.03 carats. Signed by Jules Chéret, partial maker's mark for Fonseque et Olive.
This brooch is typical of Chéret's jewellery work, which was often wrought of gold and diamonds and featured one central fashionable lady. The image on this particular brooch is similar to a lithograph by the artist entitled 'Dance' (1899), displaying the same unusual pose, hair in a top-knot, and decorated with flowers and ribbons. Chéret is known to have often incorporated his works on paper directly into his jewellery.
The manufacturers, Fonseque et Olive, were also renown Parisian jewellers. Partnering in 1885, they exhibited at the 1889 World Exposition, and worked largely in the Art Nouveau style.

Having a Half Price Lawyers ® bankruptcy attorney on your side gives you peace of mind without the high legal fees.
- $0 Down
- Zero Stress
- Instant Debt Relief
- Wipe Out Credit Cards, Payday Loans, Medical Bills, Car Repossessions, and more!
- Stop Wage Garnishment
- Stop Creditor Phone Calls
- Fresh Start
If you're considering bankruptcy, you're probably wondering about the benefits of bankruptcy. You might know that bankruptcy can erase some debts, but you may not know all of the specifics. There are many financial and personal benefits to going through bankruptcy proceedings. Here are the benefits of filing for bankruptcy:
Filing for Bankruptcy
The benefits of filing for bankruptcy include erasing dischargeable debts, stopping calls from creditors and getting a fresh start. You can even get current on your mortgage. Bankruptcy can help you if you're overwhelmed with debt. Bankruptcy can help you restructure your finances, remove debt that's standing in your way and get a fresh start.
Is It Worth Filing for Bankruptcy?
The best way to determine if it's worth filing for bankruptcy is to meet with our team of Las Vegas bankruptcy lawyers to discuss your case. Whether it's worth it to file for bankruptcy depends on your individual circumstance. If you have a large amount of debt that you can erase through bankruptcy, there's a good chance that it makes sense for you. Our experienced bankruptcy lawyers can give you an individual consultation and answer your questions to determine your options and see if filing for bankruptcy is right for you.
Peace of Mind with Half Price Lawyers
Having a Half Price Lawyers bankruptcy attorney guide you through the bankruptcy process can give you peace of mind without the high legal fees. Here are just some of the benefits of filing for bankruptcy:
- Stop creditor phone calls in their tracks
- Never receive another collection letter from a creditor
- Put an end to wage garnishment
- Terminate credit cards and never pay them back
- Get rid of medical bills that you never asked for
- Stop repossession of your car
- Bring your mortgage up to date and save your home
- Keep property that's the most important to you
Stop Creditor Harassment
The moment you file for bankruptcy, the only way a creditor can legally contact you is through your bankruptcy attorney. They are not allowed to contact you personally. However, this is not the case if you decide to represent yourself. The best way to put an end to the harassment is to speak with one of our lawyers immediately. In most cases, our friendly payment plans are $0 down.
Get a Fresh Start
When you have debts that are unsecured like credit cards and medical bills, you can erase these debts in bankruptcy if you qualify. If you're overwhelmed with debt, bankruptcy is the only way to completely stop debt collectors and wipe your debts clean. Good people end up in tough financial situations and it doesn't mean you don't deserve another chance. The benefit of filing for bankruptcy is that it can be the fresh start you need.
Keep Your Property
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to structure your bankruptcy in a way that allows you to keep your home and your personal property. Some states have generous exemptions in bankruptcy laws for your home and private property. Filing for bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean giving up family heirlooms or losing your household goods.
In fact, for most people, you can benefit from bankruptcy by discharging overwhelming debts while keeping what matters to you the most. Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys can help you take advantage of the benefits of filing for bankruptcy to ensure that you can keep the things that are the most important to you.
Regain Control of Your Financial Future
Overwhelming debt can be stressful. High amounts of debt can put a strain on your finances, job searches and relationships. If you pay child support, it can be impossible to meet your obligations and make even the minimum payments on your debts. You can feel like you can never get ahead. Filing for bankruptcy can mean getting out from under all of your debt. You can regain control of your financial future. You can renew your dreams to own a home or even take your family on vacation.

There are a lot of changes and bug fixes coming with the next game update. We don't have a release date as of yet for this next version but I wanted to share the progress with you. We make progress every day but you guys don't get to hear about it too often. So this blog is where we can share what we're working on.
New Layout
The most obvious change is an update to the game's layout. The header colour has been changed to transparent to give the whole site a more "open" feeling. We've replaced the page-width progress bar for player level with a smaller bar located within the header. An icon has been created for the Next Day button so it fits in better with the design. The current Season and Year will be listed in the header now. So you'll have an idea how old your farm is. Some of you have some really old farms!
The responsiveness of the header has been fixed as well so it should show up better on mobile devices. As a result the header information has been duplicated in the side bar and will only be visible on smaller screen resolutions. You'll also notice that the icons on the left side navigation menu have been updated for a consistent look.
Farm Updates
There are some updates to the farm view then have been completed including:
- Decorations within pastures and barns can be flipped horizontally
- Adding decorations will now add them to the center of the view you're actively looking at, instead of the far left corner
- Decorations can be returned to your inventory assuming you have enough room
- Stall elements can also be returned to your inventory which also means…
- Now you can return your barns and pastures to your inventory once the horses and decorations are all removed
- The HTML editor for your page has been updated so you can now use the Add Image button properly
- HTML changes, new farm name, new farm logo changes will show up on your farm layout immediately without a page refresh now
Competitions will be getting the next overhaul. You'll be able to search for specific events and level. This update is in progress but not completed yet. I'll post more as I have more to share.
Thats all for now. Check back here once in a while and we'll have more to share with you and thanks for playing!

Sundance Film Festival announced their 2019 film lineup the other day, which includes 112 feature films. You can read the full list of them here ( el2.convertkit-mail2.com/c/e5udvvgo7xb7h2gmk7/3ohphdu0xez87/aHR0cHM6Ly9ub2ZpbG1zY2hvb2wuY29tLzIwMTgvMTEtc3VuZGFuY2UtMjAxOS1mZWF0dXJlcw== ).
In case you're wondering, that is approximately 168 hours worth of films.
But that's nothing when you consider that those 112 films were picked out of a total of 14, 259 total films submitted.
All in all, that's roughly 21, 388 hours worth of film submissions to watch.
It would take one person 891 days to watch all of the films that were submitted to Sundance–that is, if they could watch them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What's the point of this little math lesson?
To make the point that there are a LOT of films being submitted to festivals every year. I mean, Sundance is only one out of thousands of festivals (granted, very few will get that many film submissions).
So what does it take to be one of the 112 films that stood out enough to make it into Sundance?
Well, you'll have to go to Sundance to find out about this particular batch of films.
But I'm willing to bet they all look good.
I could guess that there aren't a whole lot of overexposed shots, or crappy footage.
I have a feeling that all of those films have great, interesting stories, good acting, and solid editing, and that every cinematographer was able to use all of the tools in their arsenal to create great visuals.
If you want to stand out at Sundance, or any other film festival for that matter, then you've got to master the basics.
You can start tomorrow by really learning how to use your camera at our DSLR Filmmaking Workshop with Donn R. Nottage.
Taking the workshop won't guarantee you a slot at Sundance, but it will put you closer to mastering the skills that could one day help you get there.
It's a steal at only $20, and is a great way to turn your Saturday morning into an investment into your own film career.

Original cabaret tribute to cool dads and their musical influence to have international premiere at Fringe 2018.
From Frank Zappa to Billy Ray Cyrus, Amy Winehouse to Eva Cassidy, dads and daughters in the spotlight have long been the subject of scrutiny and celebration - and are responsible for their fair share of dad jokes.
After a successful season at Melbourne's key cabaret venue, The Butterfly Club, Tegan brings Miley, Moon Unit & Me to Wellington, NZ.
In this original work, actor and vocalist Tegan Jones takes audiences on a journey of the relationships between fathers and their daughters, focusing on female vocalists and the fathers who inspired them to sing.
Tegan intertwines her own stories about her father's influence on her musical journey with those of famous singers. Some stories will surprise you, some will make you cringe in recognition and most of them will make you want to hug your father really, really tightly.
Miley, Moon Unit & Me is a heart-warming, entertaining and thoroughly unique show, featuring the foot-tapping "Cool Dad Medley", a marathon effort of 29 songs squeezed into seven minutes.
Praise for Miley, Moon Unit & Me in 2017:
"When she channels Ella Fitzgerald, she hits her straps – and it's no mere mimicry. Overall, the show is so direct, so natural and unforced, that a bond forms between Ms Jones and the audience, via the music, rather like the bond between Tegan and her Dad." - Stage Whispers
"Tegan Jones has a big voice! Not only can she belt out showstoppers from major musicals like 'Oklahoma' and 'Les Misérables' with ease, but also seduce you with a warm salted caramel transition into jazz and blues." - Weekend Notes
Tegan Jones began her musical journey at nine years old with a copy of the Spiceworld CD, thanks to her Dad. She is a Melbourne-based actor, vocalist and producer who has trained with Wendy Ward at the Ward Acting Studio in the Meisner technique in both Melbourne and New York. This is Tegan's fourth cabaret; previous works including Blues in the Night (ACT, 2010) and Opposites Attract (The Butterfly Club, 2009).

Written and performed by Tegan Jones.

Month: August 2015
A day in Mestia
Our resting day consisted of walking around town. Just us three. After the tourist information, we walked over to the Svaneti Museum. A place where we learned a lot about the area and its rich history.
Chests were a big part of a Svaneti home.
Later in the evening, we were invited to go up one of the towers besides the guesthouse. Four of these belonged to the family of the hostess if the guesthouse, Keti. Both defensive structure and storage space. It sheltered children and women during tribal and family disputes. And it is a place where they hid treasure from the capital in case of war in the east. But nowadays it lends itself for an ideal phototaking location!
Dave and Annie arrive In Mestia
Waking up at 9am i feel better, but still sore. Painful bruises from my pack on my hips remind me of the last two hard days.
I asked for breakfast at 10am so i could sleep in. and when i walk down the veranda stairs around that time i see the beautiful sight of prepared breakfast in the garden of the guesthouse. I cant wait to sit down and dig in! Vegetables, cheese, bread, tea, cake, pancakes and simple khatchapuri. Its all there. I eat up and wait for Dave and Annoe to arrive.
When they finally arrive around 11:30 we are all happy to see each other. And i meet Dave his fioncee, Annie, for the first time!
After they settle in their room, we hear from Keti the guesthouse host that the horses are ready just outside the fence. This was one of Dave his plans. These horses will take us all the way up to the lakes north and above Mestia.
As we walk to the horses i realize just how medieval these little streets look. This will be a recurring theme in the next few days.
The horses bring us all the way. Although they didnt really listen to our steering inputs, they got us where we wanted to go.
The whole outing took about 6 hours, but i didnt take my phone so i cant put up any photos of this day just yet… Instead i will leave you with a photo of the next day of my friends Dave and Annie…
At the end of the day we decided not to start hiking the next day right away just yet. So we all could rest a bit, plan the walking trip some more and see the sights of Mestia.
Dave and Annie arrive In Mestia
Crossing Guli Pass to Mestia
Waking up later than the dutch guys i pack my bag and stuff in the breakfast the guesthouse gave me last evening that was included with the dinner. To pay i walk up to the hotel and start my journey. I felt strong enough and packed more water and less food. This was going to be a great hike!
Walking past Omar his house i greet his wife and she comes out through the garden gate to point me in the right direction.
Almost at the abandoned village of Guli i encounter a river without a bridge. This is where i meet Kenzo, from Japan (i learn this later, higher up on the mountain) who appears out of thin air after i looked for a bridge a little further up stream and after putting on my gaiters. I think i scared him a little when he suddenly stood next to me after i got up and almost screamed hello!
I wade through the water, but end up with wet feet anyway. I decide to keep my gaiters on. And watch as Kenzo looks for another way to cross but eventually decides to take off his boots and socks and wade through as well. Probably the smarter decision. And from this point on we pretty much walk together. The next photo looks down from Guli village on to the valley. You can see Kenzo standing down in the field.
Together we figure out the way up. And arrive at the pass. Now it becomes clear he will go down the same way we came. So i will be going it alone over the top and down to Mestia.
Looking at Ushba from this side of the valley:
Looking down in to the valley towards Mazeri. You can also see my boots took quite a beating yesterday snd the soles are coming loose…
Kenzo, and a couple of French hikers in the background that just came from Mestia:
But i wasnt at the top of the Guli Pass yet! Another 15 minutes of steep incline hiking. On my way i met a Czech guy and we exchanged some words and a laugh passing bye. Finslly at the top i was so happy to be ther! It was a great moment! there were two french guys having their lunch there too and a guide with a four person group just came up as i was talking to the french guys about the way to mestia and some other trails. After some water i strapped my bag to my back again and started down the range.
First walking the wrong way towards a high peak i turned back and went down into the valley. But this was not how the trail i was walking was supposed to go. Which was over some ridges. i ended up going sll the way down a valley. Crossing a river. Losing the path. Bushbashing my way through large patches of tall flowers, thistles and stinging netles. Ending up at the top of a scree slope above a glacier. Having to throw my pack dow the slope, slide down the scree and cross the glacier.
Then walking through boggy grass until i found a path leading further down into the valley. Passing some cows i knew i was on the right track again to get back to covilisation!
More overgrown cow paths and searching for paths followed. And i started to feel weaker and weaker. Looking back though, was beautiful and satisfying.
But walking further the valley didnt seem to end… Almost at the end i met 4 Georgians on horseback and they confirmed Mestia was not far away! One of the girls asked where i was from. I answered Amsterdam and she gor a strange look on her face. Probably wondering if i came walking all the way from the netherlands… I probably looked like it. I felt strangely like i was a bit drunk.
The last part of the journey was over the road. I arrived in thd village just before Mestia and had to walk 2km to Mestia. Walking past a gass station the atendant stood up and offered me his seat outside. But i asked for water and he quickly filled me a cup and handed it to me. I sat down, drank the water, thanked the kind man and continued towards the town.
Dave, my friend who i was going to meet here already booked me a room in the guesthouse, so after some searching i found the place and was welcomed inside and given some water. Taking off my pack, shoes and socks i had to come to my senses. I was finslly there! I left Mazeri at 8:30 and arrived at the guesthouse at 20:30. I walked for 12 hours! 1500 meters ascending. 1300 meters descending.
I went to lay down in my room for 15 minutes. My body was shivering and i was feeling cold while being quite warm. and after i took a shower. And dinner was waiting for me. Brought up by Keti, the girl that runs the guest house.
It was the best melon, sweet bread and wine (they dont hsve beer) i ever tasted. And i went to bed shivering and burnt. But oh so happy. And looking forward to meet Dave, who was going to arrive in the morning with his fioncee Annie.
Walking up to Ushba Glacier
Awake at 6am i get out of bed and pack my bag. I hear people in the kitchen downstairs, so i go there and find the oven/stove heating up the entire room. Everybody seems awake, except the boys. Omar suggest me to sit on the little wooden bench next to the stove. And while i drink the tea he just gave me i watch his wife make the bread.
[Better photo from my other camera]
After the bread is made they show me to the living room where breakfast is served
After breakfast i pay Omar, who invites me to stay the next night too. I give him 100 Lari, but i only want to pay for one night. This gives some confusion, handsignals help. He tried to make me comit to it, but i want to try another guesthouse tonight. He says: "Omar doma dobro da?". In a last effort to concince me to come back tonight. And i say; yes, your house is very nice and i enjoyed my stay. I pack my lunch they prepared for me, put my pack on my back, say good bye and start walking towards the start of the trail, which is a bridge over a turbulent mountain river. But before i get there i take a wrong turn and end up on a little path through some trees. I decided to walk back and find the bridge.
The first part is fairly flat, but i am slightly concerned about my heavy pack. I have everything in here from the coming 7 days. Not the smartest of decisions. But i managed.
Unfortunately i missed the path at one point and went the wrong way. I wasnt alone and talked to some of them. I decided to cut through some bushes and a stream and found the path again. Signaling the other people down a little lower they followed me and were on the right track again. But a little later i completely missed a trail marker and together with the other people (4 Polish tourists) we went a very wrong way. Up very steep, it was more like rock climbing than hiking. But still we continued. Eventually we go at a nice viewpoint where we saw Ushba glacier and the waterfall plateau.
Going down was equally challenging. And having packed too much food, too little water, this being my first hike in over a year and it was a lot harder than i anticipated i ran out of water half way down. With the sun burning my skin and my mouth dry i continued down. And only on the last part that was more flat i felt confident to take a break, to not conpletely break down.
My tshirt marbled with white stripes of salt from my sweat i drank the last bit of liquid i had with me; a few sips of cola and a few of cream lemonade. This and the stream of clear cold water i found later on helped me through. At the stream i clearer my face of salty sweat and cooled my head. It was such an amazing feeling!
After having walked to the beginning of tge trail the first guesthouse was actually a hotel. This was full but the family running it also operated a smaller guesthouse a 3 minute walk away. The view from the second floor, where my room was, was super nice. And the bed was big and soft.
Sitting there, recovering from what i just did, two Dutch guys came up too. Floris and Jan-Willem. We talked a bit and went to dinner and drank some beer together at the hotel. It was a very pleasant evening. The shower, food, good company and beer certainly helped. But feeling soar from the hike/climb i went to bed early, not sure if i would go on the next hike tomorrow.
First night in Mazeri
Walking from the bridge where the minibus (mashrutka) dropped me off, it starts raining.
I asked the driver to drop me off here, so i can walk (an hour) to Mazeri and hike two extra trails in the coming two days. On my way i meet some people that assure me (in the little english and russian they know) i'm going in the right direction. And some even offer me to stay in their guesthouses, but i kindlyrefuse because i want to wake up in Mazeria tomorrow morning so i can start the first hiking trail close to the beginning.
I walk past grazing cows and foraging pigs and chickens. They dont specifically seem to belong to anyone, because they wander freely over the road. The dogs on the fenceless properties beside the road seem friendly, at first, until one sneaks up behind me and starts barking and snarling at my heels without any obvious reason. After this i notice they each follow me for a bit before trailing off. I keep my eye on loose rocks on the ground in case i feel the need to defend myself…
Arriving at the border of the little town called Mazeria, the center about 1km away, a 14 year old boy called Luca asks me if i want to stay at his families guesthouse. I give in to my grumbling stomach (i only ate a small piece of bread that i took from Dave in the morning, a flat bread filled with potato at a rest stop and some m&m's) and followed the boy to his house. Without any idea what to expect!
Luca leads me to the veranda where i meet hos Father Omar, his wife, the grandmother and Luca his little brother. Omar tries to explain in his best russian that they wil feed me dinner, breakfast and pack me a lunch for tomorrows trip. And i try to make smalltalk in my best russian, showing him my maps and telling him of my plans for the next couple of days. For each trail he gestures with his hand to the specific valley, showing me he understands.
When the food is ready i dig in to a feast. At least, that is what it looks like to me. Cheeses, bread, tomatoes, apples, yoghurt, saucages, apple jam, grape jam, 'curry salt'?, tea and water. All home made or grown around the house. It was delicious.
After i tried talking to Omar and his wife but my language skills were not sufficient and the rain and thunder that had started stopped the internet from working, which i was using to translate some words. Instead i sat with Luca and hos brother, showing them my paragliding videos and videos from my week in Tbilisi. All the while grandmother was kneading a giant bucket of dough and smiling at the youngens huddled behind a tiny iphone screen.
And at done point the power went out. Because of the rain they said…
After using the outhouse in the garden, i wished them goodnight. Luca helped me carry some of my things to rhe room and he said: goodbye. I laid out all the things i would need for the next day; rainjacket, hiking boots, gaiters, etc. and decided i wanted to write this post.
I think there are animals living in this bedroom wall…
Zugdidi, Georgia
I am in a rickety minibus, driving through 40 degrees celcius weather without airconditioning. on my way to the mountainvillage Mazeri.
Also awesome; i just downloaded the WordPress app and am writing this on my phone!
Dont worry, im looking around me and talking to my fellow passengers as well 😉

The Nuremberg Code: ''Permissible Medical Experiments'' (Excerpted from The Nuremberg Code, 1947)
1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur, except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probably cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
''Permissible Medical Experiments'' which later became known as the Nuremberg Code and was the first internationally recognized code of ethics for experimentation on human subjects. The rules included requirements that (a) subject voluntary consent be obtained; (b) the study benefits outweigh the risks; (c) the study should be conducted to avoid unnecessary harm, with no experiment to be conducted if there is a priori belief that death or injury will occur; and (d) the subject has the right to withdraw from the study at any time (Table 7.1).

click any link for more concerts
Hyde Park Chapel hosts some of London's finest up and coming classical musicians from London's top music schools and is now establishing itself as a venue for young talented performers to gain experience, share their talents, and get exposure to the public. The Chapel's convenient location on Exhibition Road next to Victoria & Albert Museum makes it accessible to visitors and the public for the lunchtime concerts, sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The concerts demonstrate the Church's commitment to community outreach and encouragement of the arts, and are especially supportive of young musicians.
The Hyde Park Chapel was gifted with a 1915 Steinway piano (circa 1915) and has a 1961 Hill, Norman & Beard Pipe Organ. Concert patrons have enjoyed these instruments as well as a variety of others, including a brass quintet and classical vocalists. "The excitement of these concerts is both the virtuosity of our youthful and gifted performers and the responses of those who come to experience great music performed so enthusiastically," states Concert Director Linda Field.
The Hyde Park Chapel concert series invites all patrons to enjoy the classic and contemporary works featured every week for about 45 minutes during the 1:00 lunch hour. Patrons are also invited to "Meet the Artists" after the performance where light refreshments are served and they have the opportunity to ask questions and express their gratitude. No entry fee or donation is required, and all are welcome.

The pursuit of happiness is a time-consuming rollercoaster ride with plenty of ups and downs — especially when we allow our galloping desires and our entrenched aversions to dominate our emotions each and every day. Tibetan Buddhism offers an alternative to this frenzied ride and David Michie, a corporate communications consultant, published novelist, and longtime Buddhist practitioner, describes this inner path to a more peaceful and rounded life. The Australian author embarked upon a meditation practice after a medical emergency.
He describes Buddhism with its Four Noble Truths as "the ultimate self-development program." The doctrine of karma grants us permission to create our own future happiness or misery. This inner path eschews the predominant blame culture and emphasizes personal responsibility instead. The author recommends that we live each day as a bonus. More wisdom comes from the Tibetan Buddhist sage Shantideva:
"All the joy the world contains
Comes through wishing happiness for others.
All the misery the world contains
Comes through wanting pleasure for oneself."
Openness to others is not a natural thing to do in a culture where fear of the stranger is the norm. Michie admits:
"This is the one aspect of the Dharma with which I particularly struggle. I will see someone in the street, make an immediate, snap judgment about the kind of person they are, and immediately establish a sense of Otherness, whether positive or negative. I recognize this failing on an intellectual level, but conditioning doesn't disappear overnight, or even in the course of a few years."
In a chapter titled "Finding Happiness in Daily Life," the author discusses generosity as the antidote to unhappiness, the perfection of ethics, the importance of patience, and the practice of tonglen.
Originally published in 2008, this practical book has a new introduction for the age of the iPhone.

Today we did one of the coolest things ever. We went dog sledding in the White Mountains of New Hampshire! This was pretty high on my New England winter bucket list and I'm so happy we were able to have this experience. We went with a company called Muddy Paws Rescue. All of their Siberian and Alaska Huskie sled dogs were rescued from tough situations. Some ran the Iditarod back in their prime and were then abandoned and replaced with younger dogs. Others were saved from puppy mills, and some were house dogs that were abused. Now 140 dogs call New Hampshire home and get to run their hearts out. Once retired, they can be adopted as pets or remain at Muddy Paws to live out their days with their fluffy friends.
>> Scroll To The Bottom to skip my rambling and see the video!<<
The first part of our day included meeting the dogs and learning how to harness them. Every dog had their own look and personality. I didn't know how many other breads are intentionally bread into huskies (particularly the Alaskan Huskies) to make them what they are today. Bread like Great Danes, Wippets, Pointers, and German Shepherds are all a part of these dogs. This makes for a million combinations of coats, sizes, and shapes. The Siberian Huskie is what most people think of when they picture a sled dog. And of course their beautiful eyes.
^^ This is Jack. This is his last season. After a long career he will retire and is up for adoption. We basically became best friends. I tried to sneak him home with me.
^ This is Frost. I love her smirk.
Next we learned how to harness the dogs. We had 12 dogs on our team.
When these dogs get hooked up they are ready to go. It's amazing how excited they are to run. But then, one of the shyer dogs got out of her harness and got loose. All of a sudden the dogs went absolutely crazy! Caleb and I just stood in the middle of 140 huge huskies going insane while the mushers attempted to calmly catch Snow White. Video of the madness below:
After our mushers successfully wrangled Snow White. Caleb and I bundled up in the sled and off we went!
Below are two videos of our ride. Our musher even taught us how to drive the sled! I wasn't exactly heavy enough to put all my weight on the brake- but Caleb did great! I think I'm going to convince him to get our own team...
Clearly, an awesome experience.

The SEO optimization can be done by many practices including blog posting. This has become common practice among many SEO engineers. But it should be done with having proper understanding of the process. The blog can not be optimized by the posting of a beginner or person without proper understandings of back links and other related tools.
Tips for Successful Blog Posting
A Post Must Be Clear and Informative
Most of the writers do not pay attention to the content of the article .they just try to put some key words and write some words. It should not be done. The articles should write for the human. If the writer does not pay his attention about the content the expected result may not be able to gain, so before preparing an article fro posting the writer should pay more attention to the content too.
Selection of Keywords
There is not an easy way to find the key words but with the practice the writer will be able to catch the secret. The writer should put key words 3% and they should be in the natural distribution in the article. The writer must not insert them but he let them go with the article.
Earning a living on the Internet can come in many different ways. A lot of people have the Internet as their source of income and many of them do this through blog posting. Creating a blog and constantly posting articles on it s a good way to earn a living on the World Wide Web. If you are interested in doing this and are wondering how it is done, then here are the steps to earn a living in writing blog posts.
Create your blog
The first thing you need to do is to establish your blog. To do that, you must first determine what you want your blog to be about. Think of a general topic or a niche as most people on the Internet call it. This has to be something you are very passionate or knowledgeable about. For example, you can write about traveling or health and medicine. If you love photography or video games, you can write about those too. It could be anything which you think you know a lot about and something you can create a lot of interesting content for. When you have chosen your niche, it is now time to select a blog platform. There are a lot to choose from like WordPress and others. Once you have decided on that, you can then think of a good blog name and a description for your blog. Afterwards, you can create your blog and leave it for a while.
Sign up for an affiliate network
Once you have established your blog on one of the platforms, it is now time to take care of the money-making aspect of it. You will need to sign up for an affiliate network. This is where the businesses and the advertisers or affiliate marketers converge in order to partner in promoting a particular product or service. Once you have joined an affiliate network, you will partner with a particular business which has products or services related to your chosen niche. Your job is to create content which has backlinks and hypertext that will link back to the business website.
Create your content
Once you have partnered with an affiliate network, it is now time to create your blog post. It is advisable to create multiple articles at a time. You do not need to post them all at once but it is best to post regularly especially during the first few weeks of your blog. This will help you get noticed. You can also promote your blogs using the various social networking sites.
If it's your first time to start blog posting and need some beginner tips on how to make the entire post as cohesive and effective as possible, you will find these guidelines very helpful. Start by choosing a certain topic that you can relate with on a personal level. The topic you choose should be something that you're passionate about so all your blog writing activities will cater towards individuals belonging in the same category. The first rule is to have a clear message. The blog, no matter how long or short, should focus on one topic and have a single direction. The introduction should flow well into the body and then end with a great conclusion and overview. Also pick a catchy title that will give them an idea on what to expect from the blog writer. Next, provide rich and accurate content in the blog and make sure that it's readable. Break down very long sentences into two or three and then make page breaks for very long paragraphs. Use other elements to keep readers interested.
Every blog post you have should be good enough as a standalone article, although you can start branching out by writing on related topics or areas. Having a general standalone blog will make the article very reliable for future references and more people will look forward to your style of blog writing in the long run. Plan and prepare your posts carefully or create a schedule that lasts 30 to 90 days. Indicate the kind of topics you will be writing about. You will discover that more people become interested if you prepare the blog posting sequence carefully. This way, they have something to look forward to in the next week or every few days. Maintain your own style of blog writing. Experts refer to the voice as your own personal style and perspective while keeping the information clear and reliable.
When you stop to consider the way the world works with the Internet and its popularity, you will then begin wondering how you can get the attention that your blog deserved. Despite the fact that anyone can participate in blog posting, not everyone will make it to the top of the blogging pyramid. Whether you are writing your own, buying your content, or having a friend of a friend writing it, you will want to make sure that you are reaping the benefits that blog writing can provide you with. So, how do you set about creating an interesting blog? Well, first, you will need to have a topic to write on.

By hiring a writer or a group of writers from a content writing company like Niche Writers, it is possible for you to attract more attention to your online company without having to put forth much effort or a lot of cash to do it. Blogs are extremely affordable, especially when you purchase them in bulk.
Overall, creating a blog is fairly simple. Whether you write your own or hire a professional to do it. However, one thing to remember lastly is, you will want a place to put your blog, if you haven't already found one. Whether you opt to have your own domain or use one of the many free services, there are plenty of viable options for you to explore in blog submitting. Remember, Niche Writers and their professional writers are always available to help you with creating the content. They will write things for you quickly, simply, and will follow your instructions to the word, allowing you to boost potential revenue without all the heartache or stress that may come with creating your own content.

Production on Wonder Woman 2, directed by Patty Jenkins, will begin filming in June 2018 and will be set in the 1980s according to the synopsis. The DC Cinematic Universe officially launched last year with the follow-up to Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, which introduced Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, who starred in her own film earlier this year.
Many say that this is the first critically-acclaimed film of the DC Cinematic Universe, while its predecessors have caused a lot of controversy as to how successful they really were. The is no disputing Wonder Woman was a box-office hit, however, as it earned $821 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing origin story. It stands to reason why Warner Bros. would order a sequel so quickly, with Gal Gadot returning as Wonder Woman, and Patty Jenkins returning as director.
Wonder Woman 2 is schedule for a December 2019 release and should have no problem making that target as it is scheduled to begin production in June 2018. It has also been confirmed that the film will be set in the 1980s during the Cold War era. It is unusual that Warner Bros. remains stubborn on the December 2019 release date, as it is scheduled to debut only a week before Star Wars: Episode IX. It seems like Wonder Woman 2 may have some competition on its hands.

Another stupendous innovation by Google; collaborating AI with Google Street Views, Google has taken digital photography to a new level.
In May 2017, Google integrated Street View imagery with Google Maps allowing one to use turn-by-turn navigation while reaching a place, and now it has taken the use of Street View imagery to the next level. It has successfully used Machine Learning to conquer subjective concepts like aesthetics by developing Creatism, a deep-learning system for artistic content creation.
To achieve the milestone, Google used 40,000 Street View imagery from areas like the Alps, Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada, Big Sur in California and Yellowstone National Park, and turned them into a highly appealing panorama using the software that mimicked the workflow of a professional photographer. This successful experiment in advanced photography is a fruitful culmination of Google's past attempts in the realm. Earlier Google worked with an AI "photo editor" that attempted to fix tampered professional shots using an automated system equipped to modify lighting and applied filters. Eventually, it came up with another model that made an effort to distinguish between an original and a professionally edited shot. All these attempts aided Google to now add this accomplishment in its repertoire.
Breaking the aesthetics into multiple aspects
According to Hui Fang, a software engineer at Google Research's Machine Perception, "Our approach relies only on a collection of professional quality photos, without before/after image pairs, or any additional labels. It breaks down aesthetics into multiple aspects automatically, each of which is learned individually with negative examples generated by a coupled image operation. By keeping these image operations semi-"orthogonal", we can enhance a photo on its composition, saturation/HDR level and dramatic lighting with fast and separable optimizations."
For the training, Google used a generative adversarial network (GAN), where a generative model creates a mask to fix lighting for negative examples, while a discriminative model tries to distinguish enhanced results from the real professional ones. Unlike shape-fixed filters such as vignette, dramatic mask adds content-aware brightness adjustment to a photo. The competitive nature of GAN training leads to good variations of such suggestions.
The success of this experiment corroborates our belief in the power of spatial data, AI and deep learning. The beautiful landscapes that Google's experiment has produced reinforce the fact that these technologies are not just 'technical stuff'. They have the power to make our lives happier. The Geospatial community is known to dedicatedly work towards creating a better world and this experiment is surely another feather in the cap. The images are immensely soothing to eyes and automatically transport us to a tranquil environment.

Basics Of Online Poker
While finding out how to play poker on best poker sites, the first thing you should consider is the multiple variants of poker game. It must be understood that there are no "sure things" in the moves on a specific "hand", and there is no exact way to tell what will be the best choice. And of course, take into account some basic points that are specific for poker games. No matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, the best to practice is to play poker games online at top poker sites for understanding the rules of the most popular poker games.
Poker Terminology – make sure you know what is a flop, what cards make the Royal Flush, what does it mean to hit a set, etc. It is important to master the variety of terms and poker vocabulary before you begin to play poker on poker websites. It is also wise to play free poker games on free poker sites to see what it is all about and understand the basics in practice without losing a cent.
Determine "Pot Odds" – along with the knowledge of the main terms and variety of hands in poker, you should figure out how to calculate the odds of a pot. This knowledge deals with percentage and probability, and no matter how complicated it sounds, it's actually an easy tool to learn and use to make correct leads.
Let's see how it is done: When playing any poker variant on the best poker site, you will estimate the hand you make and determine the "outs" you have, that is the cards that can improve your hand. Now you must calculate the percentage of receiving or "hitting an out" on the next card. You multiply the total of outs by 2 and then add 1. Thus, in case you had six outs, this would result in 13% chance that you will hit an out on the next draw.
Next, you estimate the maximum bet to call on. For this, you divide the amount of call by the available pot. Let's say the pot amounts to $100 and the call is $10. That means, there is a 10% chance and you would want to make a call. In case the bet is higher, the percentage needed to hit the out might increase and that would lower your chance to win on poker websites.
Standards – behave yourself and don't think badly. There is a certain standard that you have to set for yourself and keep the discipline while following through on best poker sites UK.
Know the bankroll – uncertainty about the limitations of the bankrolls is one of the worst issues faced by poker players. Make sure you understand how much you wager, check this daily to see if you are a losing or winning player, and use data to find out your weaknesses and strengths. That's the case when online poker is appreciated because you can "back track" and re-check all the games you played.
Know when to raise or call – there are many reasons for a player to call or raise. From bluffing, increasing the amount of the pot, fishing for information, to hoping to view more cards or ensuring that there are no further raises, and there are many reasons to use these moves. However, it is necessary to master them because only then you can learn to predict the result of the poker game which you will be able to find on best poker sites UK.
Let's see how these basic three tactics can be applied to the top three variants of poker UK offered on best online poker sites.
Texas Hold'em – poker experts say that this is the most complicated poker game and thus, it is essentially important to learn the terminology and master the strongest hand for the played variant of the poker game. A player also should determine the best hand that starts in the game and estimate the winning odds. There are 169 possible hands, so the memorization is the key factor here. On specialized forums you can also learn how to fund an online real money poker account at poker sites and start playing Texas Holdem online and more. Usually you can find this variation of the poker game on the best online poker sites UK.
Omaha – experts consider this variant of poker to be the easiest one for using odds and probability. This variant of poker can be often found among free online poker games.
7 Card Stud – this variation of poker will pay off for players who master the hands and terms and who know how to keep their standards without being aggressive.

Bali is a province in the country of Indonesia. The province covers a few small neighboring islands as well as the isle of Bali. The main island is located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country's 34 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island.
With a population recorded as 3,891,428 in the 2010 census,and currently 4.22 million, the island is home to most of Indonesia's Hindu minority. In the 2000 census about 92.29% of Bali's population adhered to Balinese Hinduism while most of the remainder follow Islam. It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music. A tourist haven for decades, Bali has seen a further surge in tourist numbers in recent years.
Bali was inhabited by around 2000 BC by Austronesian peoples who migrated originally from Taiwan through Maritime Southeast Asia. Culturally and linguistically, the Balinese are thus closely related to the peoples of the Indonesian archipelago, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Oceania. Stone tools dating from this time have been found near the village of Cekik in the island's west.
In ancient Bali, nine Hindu sects existed, namely Pasupata, Bhairawa, Siwa Shidanta, Waisnawa, Bodha, Brahma, Resi, Sora and Ganapatya. Each sect revered a specific deity as its personal Godhead.
Balinese culture was strongly influenced by Indian, Chinese, and particularly Hindu culture, beginning around the 1st century AD. The name Bali dwipa ("Bali island") has been discovered from various inscriptions, including the Blanjong pillar inscription written by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 914 AD and mentioning "Walidwipa". It was during this time that the complex irrigation system subak was developed to grow rice. Some religious and cultural traditions still in existence today can be traced back to this period.
