It's Easter weekend so everyone is doing Easter-y type things. Including my tiny family. Which means my camera has been out nonstop and I've been photographing all the Easter-y things. But this weekend has also been rife with nostalgic overlaps from my own childhood.
I was a pretty artsy kid and loved all things crafty. I even came up with my own system of how to make little pipe-cleaner people for my sister and I to play with. And now Evey was finally old enough for her very own little pipe-cleaner people. This weekend, I introduced my wee girl into the art of pipe-cleaner creations. So of course I had to document the occasion.
We had a blast. And of course she insisted on taking her little people everywhere with her.
It made my heart happier than I can explain, seeing her play with the little people I created for her. Documenting the joy on her face as she watched them come into being was absolutely wonderful. There was something special about bringing something from my own childhood back to life, and watching her enjoy it as much as I did. And let's be honest, I still do.
As we all know, today is Easter. Easter egg hunts were always a special activity for my family growing up. As we grew older, my parents made them harder and harder to find, and I must say, the hunts grew very elaborate. We even continued the tradition into adulthood, and my sister and I would take a turn hiding eggs for my parents to find as well.
So watching Evey grow to love hunting for eggs is also very special for me. She is getting so much better each year! I can't wait to up my game next year.
And while the egg hunting is super fun, the most touching part was being able to watch her run around and enjoy her day, in an Easter dress passed down from my sister. A dress that I remember my sister wearing as we hunted for our own eggs in our favorite house in England.
Parenting is hard. Seriously. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. But these are the moments I live for. These are the moments I am compelled to photograph, so I can't ever forget them. I cherish the fun times we enjoy and the passing down of fun family traditions. I feel so lucky that I can share these fun things from my own childhood, and bring them back to life with my sweet girl.

Please join the East Central European Center at the Harriman Institute for a talk with Magda Szcześniak (Institute of Polish Culture, University of Warsaw).
In this talk, Szcześniak will examine visual materials produced by the Polish Solidarity movement as examples of visual activism, i.e. images employed as means of exercising agency in the public sphere by underrepresented and subjugated groups. Departing from a question about the archive's disappearance from Polish collective memory, or rather its subsumption under two powerful images (the Solidarity sign and the portrait of the movement's leader – Lech Wałęsa), she will analyze the ways in which the creators of visual materials within the movement sought to represent the collectivity of the Polish working class. A close analysis of the archive reveals the movement's complexity and ambiguity, proving that visual culture can be a sphere of productive conflict and negotiation between varying ideas about political action and social movements. It can also document ruptures and provide spaces for the co-existence of values that—at least from a contemporary perspective—might not fit into a single manifesto.
Magda Szcześniak is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Polish Culture, University of Warsaw, and 2019/20 Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Critical Theory, Duke University. She is the author of Normy widzialności. Tożsamość w czasach transformacji (Norms of Visuality. Identity in Times of Transition, 2016), devoted to the role of visual culture in the post-socialist transition in Poland She is a recipient of scholarships from the Fulbright Foundation (2010/2011, 2019/2020), the Polish National Science Centre and the Polish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, and the editor of the bilingual, online academic journal View: Theories and Practices of Visual Culture. She is currently working on a book about the politics of representing upward and downward social mobility in socialism.

The teaser, posted to YouTube on Friday, shows these mother and daughter duos clubbing, shopping, eating, and living together, with one even sleeping in the same bed together and using the same bath water. We'd probably call that a little too close!!

Iraqi Troops Campaign to Wrestle Ramadi from ISIL
Iraqi military and counter-terrorism units, Kurdish Peshmerga units, local Yazidi units, supported by the Iraqi and US-led coalition air forces are fighting to regain control over the strategically important city of Ramadi from the self-proclaimed Islamic State, a.k.a. ISIS, ISIL or Daesh.
Iraqi counter-terrorism spokesman Sabah al-Numani said late tuesday Tuesday that the military units have secured parts of the city and are advancing toward the government complex in the central district of Ramadi. Al-Numani added that fighting was taking place in neighborhoods around the complex, and that the Iraqi Air Force was providing support, along with the U.S.-led coalition.
The city, located about 100 kilometers west of the capital Baghdad was seized by ISIL brigades in May 2015 after ISIL launched a major campaign in 2014, seizing the city of Mosul.
It is worth recalling that a source close to the former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri documented for nsnbc international that the final decision to invade Iraq with ISIL forces fell on the sidelines of the Atlantic Council's Energy Summit in Turkey in November 2013, and that the European Union (EU), on April 22, 2013, lifted its ban on the import of Syrian oil from "rebel-held territories".
Ramadi is strategically located near the Iraqi – Syrian border. Recapturing the city is likely to disrupt ISIL's capability to export smuggled Syrian oil via northern Iraq to Turkey. Analysts do, however, forecast that the recapture of Ramadi is likely to exacerbate tensions between Iraq's central government and the strongly US / NATO-backed Kurdish administration of Barzani in northern Iraq.
Progress with the recapture of Ramadi is not only obstructed by ISIL's resistance. The insurgents have placed and are placing mines, improvised explosive devices and Boobie Traps in areas from which they are forced to withdraw.
U.S. military engineers are assisting in the repair of damaged bridges across the Euphrates river and are setting up floating bridges to help troops advance. U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren, a Baghdad – based spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition said confidently that
"The end is coming. That said, it's going to be a tough fight". … Iraqi security forces have much work to do, still have hard fighting, and it's going to take some time."
Warren also noted that documents seized from ISIL in Fallujah, a city still controlled by the insurgents, include orders to try to blend in with government forces as the militants retreat, and to attack civilians and mosques, in an effort to discredit the government. The veracity of the statement could not be independently confirmed.
It is noteworthy that non of the pro-Baghdad government Shi´ite militia participate in the campaign against Ramadi, supporting the notion that the recapture of Ramadi is likely to exacerbate both conflicts between Iraqi Kurds and Baghdad as well as the Sunni – Shi´ite tensions in he war-torn country. The United States has currently stationed some 3,500 troops in Iraq.

Free Golf Betting Tips – Alfred Dunhill Championship
The 2018 European Tour seasons comes to an end this week, with the final event being the Alfred Dunhill Championship. The tournament was first played in 2000 and has been played at the Leopard Creek Country Club in South Africa since 2004. However, after an extensive renovation last year, many players will be seeing the new version of this spectacular Gary Player designed golf course for the first time this week.
Leopard Creek Country Club is a par 72 measuring 7,287 yards and it is set in a stunning location adjacent to the Kruger National Park. No doubt, local golf commentator Tony Johnstone will be regaling TV viewers with his knowledge of the amazing animals that surround the perimeter of the golf course, but the big question is whether the new-look course will have more teeth than it did before.
The answer is probably, as Kikuyu rough and fairways have been replaced by a Bermuda grass known as cynodon that is ideally suited to warm climates. The change in grass means the undulating fairways should now play faster, bringing the bunkers and the bush that lines the fairways more into play for the less accurate drivers of the golf ball. The grass on the greens has also been changed to a type of Bermuda grass known as Champion G-12, though it's unsure what effect that will have.
Whether the changes mean the course will now suit a different style of player than the typical winner is open to debate, and only time will tell, but it may just be this year's winning score is lower than it has been in recent years.
The strongest tend in recent years is the fact this event is mainly dominated by South African players, with the last six renewals all being won by South Africans. So, it's no surprise the world-class trio of Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, and Brandon Grace top the market this week.
Oosthuizen has been in especially good form of late and he bounced back brilliantly from the disappointment of not winning the Nedbank Challenge in November to claim last week's South African Open. He hasn't fared as well in this event though as he's yet to win it and, despite finishing runner-up in the past, he also has plenty of missed-cuts to his name. So, as he may well have also been partying hard since last week's victory, I'm happy to leave him out at a best-priced 5/1.
One player I do have to have on side this week is Charl Schwartzel as he has an outstanding record in this event, including winning it three of the last five renewals. He came in for a bit of criticism last week after blowing a winning chance but, as that was one of his best efforts in the South African Open, I view his third-place finish there as a huge positive coming into this week. He does have to prove he can play the new-look course just as well as the old one, but it would come as no great surprise if Schwartzel has already had a guided tour from course designer and mentor Gary Player.
The 2014 winner Brandon Grace must also have a chance, especially as he likes firm and fast conditions, but it's hard to put up two selections in single-figures, and I prefer Schwartzel at the prices.
The ever-improving youngsters Dylan Frittelli and Brandon Stone may also go well. However, Stone has the added pressure of defending a title this week after winning the last renewal, whilst Frittelli has yet to post a top-10 finish despite three decent enough attempts.
So, the only other player I want on side this week is Thomas Aiken. He's not the most prolific winner ever but has placed here on several occasions including the last renewal. Just like Schwartzel, his top-5 finish last week showed he has his game in good order coming into an event he's played well in before. He's also played well in several events on the desert swing on the European Tour and could revel in the new firmer and faster conditions if in the same form as last week.

The beginning of the Peloponnesian War is now 2,436 years in the past. Yet Athens and Sparta are still on our minds and will not go away. Their permanence seems odd. After all, ancient Greek warring parties were mere city-states, most of them smaller in population and size than Dayton, Ohio, or Trenton, New Jersey. Mainland Greece itself is no larger than Alabama, and in antiquity was bordered by empires like the Persian, which encompassed nearly one million square miles with perhaps 70 million subjects. Napoleon's army alone had more men under arms by 1800 than the entire male population of all the Greek city-states combined. In our own age, more people died in Rwanda or Cambodia in a few days than were lost in twenty-seven years of civil war in fifth-century B.C. Greece.

Sunday Poll: Should Missouri Index Fuel Taxes?
The new year brought changes to fuel tax rates in many states:
Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana and Florida will each see modest gas tax increases of less than a penny per gallon, based on automatic adjustments in those states, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
Two states — New York and West Virginia — will have slight reductions based on automatic adjustments, according to the institute. The Empire State's rate will fall 0.8 cents per gallon, and the Mountain State's rate will drop 1 cent per gallon.
The hikes reflect state efforts to balance budgets for road construction and maintenance when Congress hasn't raised the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993. State transportation officials and the construction industry contend federal funding hasn't kept pace with inflation and more fuel-efficient cars. (USA Today)
Missouri's fuel taxes, however, remain unchanged since 1996. Numerous attempts over the lsat two decades to raise fuel taxes have failed.
From May 2016:
The state legislature did not pass a transportation funding fix during the regular legislative session that ended Friday. One measure that passed in the Senate but died in the House would have asked voters if Missouri's gas tax should be increased 5.9 cents per gallon to help pay for roads and bridges.
Senator Doug Libla (R-Poplar Bluff) says he worked hard to find a compromise this year in hopes that the proposal would pass.
"The people of the state of Missouri will not be able to vote on whether or not they would like to pay a little more to get better roads and bridges to drive on," said Libla.
Lawmakers agree transportation funding must increase but they disagree on how to fund it. (MissouriNet)
It seems like some states use indexing to adjust fuel taxes, is this something Missouri should consider?
This poll closes at 8pm tonight.

LAHORE – Former T20 captain Shahid Khan Afridi's political career came into the discussion after his recent comments against Imran Khan and the KP government's performance that sparked a debate on social media.
Many keyboard Analysts believe that Afridi is going to contest election against Imran Khan in General Elections 2018, and that too on Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz's (PMLN) ticket.
It is pertinent that when Afridi decided to shift in Lahore from Karachi last year, a prominent journalist termed this a political move.
Many believed Afridi was preparing for his debut in politics when a fresh video message was released in which he made blunt comments on Pakistan politics.
@SAfridiOfficial new year message for the nation. He wants Pakistani nation to unite for peace, love and prosperity. pic.twitter.com/BnIpokWfK5
— TEAM AFRIDI (@TEAM_AFRIDI) January 3, 2017
Earlier, while speaking to a morning show to a private TV channel, Afridi asserted that he failed to understand who asked Imran Bhai (Imran Khan) to join politics.
He suggested that Imran Khan needs focus on KPK for the amelioration of oppressed people so that they remember him in kind words.
Afridi has not provided his version on the issue.

With all this talk of the government mandating stuff that violates conscience, you'd think a nice vacation would be in order. Maybe of couple of days of rest and relaxation at a hotel, sitting by the pool and enjoying life.
Except the pool is closed. Thanks to new rulings that take effect tomorrow, many hotels will have to close their pools or face the wrath of the government. ($55,000 fines)
The march to totalitarianism continues.

When someone asks, "What's your sign? Your zodiac or Sun sign is the biggest influence on your life and personality in Astrology! Based on the location of the expressive Sun at the minute you were born, you could be one of 12 zodiac signs, each with its own set of strengths, challenges, moods, patterns, relationships, and more. Here we celebrate the unique nature of every zodiac sign!
There is so much more to you than just your Sun sign!
Discover what your cosmic makeup says about YOU with a personalized report! Every zodiac sign is different. Each sign is deeply and directly connected to its own planet, element, archetype, season, and more, all playing a role in the traits and emotions expressed by that sign. Understanding the nature of your own zodiac sign can help you gain personal perspective, growth, and a greater connection to the universe and the earth around you.
Ruled by the quick and active Fire element , these three zodiac signs are all about initiation, enthusiasm, courage, and moving forward.
Cancer traits and personality characteristics you need to know
They shine a bright light on life and command attention wherever they go. Always ready to instigate others and start something new, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are the true trailblazers of the zodiac. Under the influence of the solid and practical Earth element , these three zodiac signs thrive on strength, determination, and practicality, and are at one with the physical world.
They are focused and disciplined, eager to get the job done. Creating a true sense of foundation and security in the world, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are the most pragmatic signs of the zodiac. Capricorns can be kind of cold, but once they are finally done with work for the day, they can be incredibly caring and nurturing. If relationships are work, Capricorns are here to do the work, and that usually makes for a very stable bond. One thing these two have in common is they keep their personal business private and present a strong, united front.
Together, these over-achievers are the power couple of everyone's dreams. Crabs on crabs understand how important security is to the other, and when it clicks, these two will immediately start construction on a stable future together. This is the couple that throws the fabulous house parties but passes on going out for after-work drinks.
It's not that they aren't social, it's just that things are just so much easier if you come to them, no? Once you're inside the crab shell, they will feed you, pamper you, watch whatever you want on Netflix, etc. Still, Cancers aren't stagnant. They tend to love children and share the work of raising them leaning in at home! This is the match that begs the question: Who will pamper the pamperers? Virgo loves to serve, and Cancer loves to mother. A long walk in the park full of deep conversation? A long walk in the park mumbling disses at every passerby?
Even better. Tauruses and Cancers speak the same love language: Money.

Sounds tacky, but truly, the bull is known for being superb at managing money, and the Cancer is serious about planning for the future. Emotional and financial security go hand in hand for both signs. But lest you think this would be a mercenary, loveless pairing, remember that Tauruses, like Cancers, love classic hearts-and-flowers romance. Pisces, fellow water signs, are deep and emotional. They genuinely lose themselves in love. They will probably write a love poem a day for a year and end up casually scoring a book deal and dedicating it to their muse, their beloved Cancer.

In today's article we will talk about What is Affiliate Marketing and How Does it Work. So, first of all you have to know about affiliate marketing.
In Affiliate Marketing, you have to join the affiliate program of a company, and the products of that company have to be sold, in which you get some percentage of that product as commission.
What is Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is marketing in which you have to sell products from another company, and in return that company gives you some percent commission on the price of that product.
According to the definition:
Affiliate Marketing is a marketing arrangement by which an online retailer pays commission to an external website for traffic or sales generated from its referrals.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
Every product that is sold by affiliate marketing passes through 3 people:
- The Merchant
- The Affiliate
- The Consumer
1. The Merchant:
The merchant gets his product marketed to sell, for which he assigns this to the affiliate.
2. The Affiliate:
Affiliate does the marketing of the product given by the merchant so that he can sell the product to as many people as possible.
3. The Consumer:
The consumer is for purchase the product that uses the product.
The affiliate gets some percentage of the price of every product purchased by the consumer as a commission.
Anyone can join affiliate marketing and earn a lot of money sitting at home. To do affiliate marketing, we have to join affiliate programs of companies like Amazon, Flipkart or Clickbank.
After joining the affiliate program, we can select the product of your choice and generate affiliate links.
We have to promote that affiliate link more and more because we have to sell as many products as possible through that link.
The more products we sell, the more money we will get because we get some percentage of the price of each product as a commission.
So hope you understand how affiliate marketing works. If you have any doubt about affiliate marketing, then you can ask us by commenting, we will reply to your comment as soon as possible.
Thank You :)

Parrot Toys
Parrot toys are exactly what the name suggests. Toys for parrots! Apparently, our feathery friends also need something to pass the time. Which is why parrot toys were created in the first place; little contraptions that are actually shaped like a perch with mechanical cogs, shredders, plastic foot toys, etc. The website that sells these parrot toys promises to give parrots something to do in order to improve their intelligence and prevent boredom. Parrot toys can be divided into categories. Parrot foot toys, parrot foraging toys, large […]More info

Kochi: Vertigrove, a revolutionary facility to grow vegetables indoors developed by Maya Varghese, a woman entrepreneur based in Kochi, was launched in Kerala. Vertigrove makes vertical farming a convenient reality and was inspired by Maya's own motto of Grow Your Own Food (www.gyofood.com).
Maya Varghese said for the last few years, she was in search of finding a way to produce leafy vegetables in our restricted space conditions without using chemical fertilisers and pesticides. "Take the case of Kerala. We are a consumerist state and most of the foodstuff we require are coming from elsewhere and we have no control over the usage of chemical pesticides and fertilizers used for producing such supplies. Hence, the threat of cancer is looming large and there is a huge and increasing demand for leafy vegetables produced without using harmful chemicals," she said.
Vertigrove is designed in such a way so as to grow vegetables vertically even inside small houses and apartments.
While conventionally it needs at least 200 sq ft of space for around 30 vegetable plants to grow, Vertigrove makes unbelievably smart use of space and fits them in just 4 sq ft. An added advantage is the aesthetic appeal in design which makes it suitable even in sitting and living rooms. As the units come fitted with castors in the bottom, it can be rolled across rooms, considering convenience or availability of sunlight while one can grow floral plants in hanging models as well.
When the family is away for a few days, Vertigrove can take care of itself with its automated rechargeable battery which can water the plants for up to 7 days without human presence. "We have also ensured to use only the most productive and disease-resistant seeds and the planting is done in treated organic mixture. There is an additional option to fit it with a vermi-compost system," Maya Varghese says.
VertiGrove units are available now in three models including pedestal type with compost column and castors; pedestal type without compost column and hanging type without compost column. Though a unit is priced at Rs 6,500 with 30 saplings, Vertigrove now offers an introductory offer, at Rs 4,900 per unit.
Maya Varghese said Vertigrove is suitable for almost all of our favourite vegetables, especially the much-needed leafy ones, including various types of spinach (cheera), amaranths, Swiss chard, kale, lettuce, paalak, pudina, oregano, coriander, celery and parsley. The nursery production unit of her firm Grow Your Own Food in Karumalloor, near Aluva, is already in full swing to supply the units across Kerala.

IT majors say there's no tech slowdown here
It may be all doom and gloom in the US as a tech slowdown takes hold, but local offices of Sun and Compaq say they're not seeing a slowdown in IT spending here.
The slump in IT spending by US companies doesn't appear to have spread to the Middle East yet. Sun and Compaq, two companies that would feel the effects of any drop in IT spending here, told ITP.net this week that business is as healthy as ever.
"The conditions of the market in the US are not always directly reproduced here," said Philip Roy, Gulf general manager, Sun Microsystems Middle East Africa. "Although US companies have slowed in technology purchase, infrastructure spending is still growing in the Middle East. Banks, utilities and telcos for example are still upgrading their infrastructure to support new services and to increase the quality of existing services."
Compaq also believes that the region is not feeling a ripple effect from what's happening in the US market. "The Middle East market is in a different cycle, in the growth phase and has not reached maturity as yet," says Joseph Hanania, managing director for Compaq Middle East. "According to IDC, the ME market is anticipated to grow by 21% in 2001 and the UAE market is expected to grow by 23%."
Compaq says it's seen no evidence yet of a cut in Middle East IT budgets. "We've not seen or experienced any change from businesses in the region as they continue to invest in IT according to their plans," Hanania continues. "Startup companies are becoming more cautious, which is normal, but the market is still growing and developing."
What is your company's attitude to IT spending this year? Let us know in ITP.net's spot poll on our home page.

Bloomberg News
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. — Meg Whitman has seen the future of content — and it's on a very small screen. And in very short bursts.
Her new venture Quibi, short for "quick bites," is scheduled to launch in April with shows and films from A-list directors such as Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro sliced into increments shorter than 10 minutes that are meant to be viewed on smartphones.
The short-form streaming service founded by Whitman, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., and Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg has already booked $100 million in advertising revenue. Whitman, speaking at the Wall Street Journal's Tech Live conference in Southern California, said the ads were bought by Alphabet Inc.'s /zigman2/quotes/202490156/composite GOOGL +1.14% /zigman2/quotes/205453964/composite GOOG +1.17% Google, Walmart Inc. /zigman2/quotes/207374728/composite WMT +0.42% , Anheuser-Busch InBev SA /zigman2/quotes/209225053/composite BUD -0.11% , Procter & Gamble Co. /zigman2/quotes/202894679/composite PG +0.51% , PepsiCo Inc. /zigman2/quotes/208744353/composite PEP +1.50% and a handful of others.
The full programming slate hasn't been announced, but the service also will include daily news programming. There are two pricing options: An ad-free service that costs $7.99 a month and a $4.99-a-month option with ads.
"We're bringing the best of Silicon Valley and Hollywood together to create a different entertainment platform," Whitman told MarketWatch in a one-on-one interview. "We're not a studio, but commissioning studios to make content."
In a separate interview last year, Katzenberg compared Quibi's master plan to HBO — a place for quality content that breaks all programming barriers. "They blew the walls off of length of content, episodes, standards and practices," he said. "We want to do the same online. It's narrative storytelling in bite-sized episodes."
That's about the only thing small about Quibi, whose iconic founders are wagering a lot of money — and perhaps their reputations — on the Hollywood-based startup.
Katzenberg has secured $1 billion in backing from major Hollywood players such as Walt Disney Co. /zigman2/quotes/203410047/composite DIS +1.23% and AT&T's /zigman2/quotes/203165245/composite T 0.00% Warner Bros.. The venture also is attracting investment from Sony Pictures /zigman2/quotes/208567357/composite SNE -0.67% , as well as Alibaba /zigman2/quotes/201948298/composite BABA +0.50% .
"I think it's the biggest idea that we've ever done," says Katzenberg, who co-founded DreamWorks Animation in 1994 with Spielberg and music giant David Geffen.
Quibi's play to go small comes as media titans Netflix Inc. /zigman2/quotes/202353025/composite NFLX +2.07% , Apple Inc. /zigman2/quotes/202934861/composite AAPL +3.75% , AT&T Inc., Amazon.com Inc. /zigman2/quotes/210331248/composite AMZN +2.49% , Comcast Corp.'s /zigman2/quotes/209472081/composite CMCSA +0.98% NBCUniversal, and Disney slug it out in the video-streaming market with grander (and more expensive) content, spending billions of dollars in the process.
At the same time, the digital landscape is littered with short-form content from the likes of Alphabet's YouTube, Facebook Inc.'s /zigman2/quotes/205064656/composite FB +2.12% Instagram, and Snap Inc.'s /zigman2/quotes/205087158/composite SNAP +1.52% Snapchat that is largely free.
This doesn't mean content from Quibi will come cheap. Its "Lighthouses" premium videos will cost roughly $100,000 per minute to produce, which puts it on par with some of the most expensive shows on TV.

Doubleheaded steam at 'The Narrows.' Fall colors. What more can you ask?The only thing this photo really lacks is the sound two K-36s make working upgrade.Definitely not a bad day at work. (All photos by David Lassen)ALAMOSA, Colo. — If you ask a parent if he or she has a favorite child, the answer is usually going to be "I love them all equally."
It's almost like that with the tourist railroads on the Trains Tour of Colorado. Almost. Every one of these railroads has something to recommend it, and I enjoy every one of them. But I must admit I have a favorite child: the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, a 64-mile railroading time capsule that is as close to a narrow-gauge operation from the 1950s (or '40s, or '30s) as is possible in an era of cellphones and microprocessors.
If anything, I love it even more after today's trip.
One thing we've added from earlier versions of the Trains tour is a bus-chase option on the Cumbres & Toltec. For the first portion of the trip, from Chama, N.M., to the top of Cumbres Pass, our guests had the option of riding the train or taking the bus, which would make several stops to shoot the train as it passes, with a representative of the railroad helping to guide us to the best spots. Since the C&TS's climb out of Chama includes grades of up to 4 percent, it's not hard for the bus to get ahead of the train several times.
I know many of those on the tour were conflicted whether to ride the train or chase it. My recommendation was that those who had never been on the C&TS before should ride the train, because I remember how much I enjoyed watching and listening as it worked to the absolute limits of its abilities to reach the top of the pass. Those who had visited before might still want to consider riding, I said, particularly taking the weather into consideration.
I guess I was pretty convincing, because we only had two of our 42 tour members chose the bus chase, which I had known I would be part of as part of my responsibilities in helping lead the group.
What I hadn't known was that the railroad's representative would be its president, John Bush. If the bus chase hadn't yielded a single quality photo, it would have been worthwhile just to hear Bush — who returned to the C&TS as president of the C&TS in 2012 after a previous stint as assistant general manager and chief mechanical officer — talk about his railroad. He is justifiably proud of the Cumbres & Toltec, with great insights about its operations, its history, and its goals for the future (which include financial self-sufficiency in the near future.) I learned quite a bit about the railroad; I think all three of us on the bus really enjoyed the chance to talk with John.
But, of course, the bus chase generated a number of great photos of our 13-car train, which required doubleheaded power to the top of Cumbres Pass. When you have the president of the railroad guiding you, you better believe you're going to end up at good spots. Add in some vibrant fall foliage, and we'd had a terrific day even before we got on the train.
And once on board, there was still plenty of time to enjoy the C&TS experience — which I have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves railroading.
So, even with my always-high expectations for the C&TS, my "favorite child" exceeded them. I suppose that might explain why it's my favorite.

Charging the iPad Mini 4 when staying in Azerbaijan
Instructions showing how to recharge your iPad Mini 4 with an Azerbaijani power outlet with a Lightning connector with a Type C Europlug power charger and charging the iPad Mini 4 using a double pin Schuko Type F power adapter.
Complicated combinations of voltages and plug types can often lead to confusion when planning to stay in another country, especially to the first time traveller. When staying in Azerbaijan the following instructions show how to power the iPad Mini 4 by using the Type F or C Azerbaijani 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets. If travelling to Azerbaijan from a different country ensure that your iPad Mini 4 can be used with a 240 volt supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts double check your iPad Mini 4 is dual-voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional voltage converter to stop the device from over-heating during charging. These instructions assume that you have installed Apple iOS 9 or greater on the iPad Mini 4.
Charging the iPad Mini 4 in Azerbaijan
What is the best power adapter for recharging the iPad Mini 4 in Azerbaijan?
If travelling to multiple countries then the best travel adapter for Azerbaijan to buy is a multiple USB adapter which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. There are two standards of wall outlets in Azerbaijan (F and C) and using a travel adapter like this ensures that you are covered for type C.
As these chargers come with interchangeable plugs and handle 100 volts - 240 volts will mean you can travel to over 100 countries in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa just by switching the included heads. If your type of iPad Mini 4 supports Fast Charge then you'll benefit from much quicker charging times by using one of these types of travel adapters and additional support for certain power hungry devices like tablets. Unlike other travel adapters this will allow you to recharge multiple devices simultaneously without needing to bring seperate power adapters on your trip. Because you are only bringing a single international USB travel charger will help keep the overall size and weight down, making it perfect to fold up and store in hand baggage while travelling. Due to their space saving versatility these types of chargers can be used at home so when you're not travelling they can be used under your bedside table charging multiple smartphones and tablets using just a single wall outlet.
If you travel to different continents we suggest buying this type of versatile travel charger at an electronics retailer, the travel adapter illustrated is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous foreign countries around the world with perfect reliably.
Alternative travel adapter for Azerbaijan
The 4 port USB travel charger is the most compact option for travellers from any country wanting to charge devices using USB, but for those also wishing to use their domestic plugs these power converters provide larger but more versatile solutions. All 3 power strips offer surge protection which is necessary for visitors of regions with unreliable or unstable power supplies to prevent damage to any connected devices from voltage spikes. These travel converters come with interchangeable type C, I and G plugs covering both Azerbaijan and over 150 destinations:
- BESTEK Portable International Travel Voltage Converter - The BESTEK international travel adaptor has 4 USB charging ports with 3 AC power outlets and is the best selling compact power converter for travellers originating from North America going to Azerbaijan.
- ORICO Traveling Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip - Likewise having 4 USB ports but only 2 AC power outlets the travel adapter from Orico is also aimed at travellers from North America using type B plugs and is a cheaper alternative to the BESTEK with 1 less AC outlet at almost half price.
- BESTEK International USB Travel Power Strip - This power strip has 2 AC outlets but offers a more flexible 5 USB charging ports. This versatile power strip is compatible with both American plugs and popular plug types A, D,E/F, G, H, I, L and N making it suitable for most travellers from around the world visiting Azerbaijan.

How to use a Europlug Type C power charger for charging your iPad Mini 4 from an Azerbaijani power outlet
Instructions on how to charge your iPad Mini 4 from an Azerbaijani power outlet with a USB Lightning connector and a Type C Europlug USB charger.
- To charge your iPad Mini 4 using the Azerbaijani power outlet you'll need a Type C USB power adapter [4] and a USB to Apple Lightning cable [5] - normally already supplied with your iPad Mini 4 by Apple.
- Begin the process by taking the Type C USB power adapter and inserting it into the Azerbaijani power outlet. You can recognise this power outlet by two round holes next to each other for live and neutral pins.
- Plug in one end of the USB to Apple Lightning cable into the USB charger and the other end into the Lightning connector on the iPad Mini 4. The iPad Mini 4 lightning connector can be found at the bottom of the iPad Mini 4.
- Turn on the Azerbaijani power outlet.

Powering the iPad Mini 4 with an Azerbaijani power outlet by using a 2 pinned Type F Schuko USB adapter
Using an Apple USB Lightning cable and a Type F USB adapter to power the iPad Mini 4 with an Azerbaijani power outlet.
- In order to supply power to your iPad Mini 4 from an Azerbaijani power outlet you will need to use a Type F USB power adapter [7] and a USB to Apple Lightning cable [5] (Apple should typically include this cable when you purchase your iPad Mini 4).
- Firstly plug the Type F USB power adapter in the power outlet. The sunken round power outlet can be recognised by the two 4.8mm adjacent holes where the twin pins go, plus a pair of metal grounding clips on the top and bottom.
- Then connect one end of the USB charging cable into the bottom of the USB mains charger and the other end into the Lightning connector on the iPad Mini 4. The iPad Mini 4 lightning connector is situated at the base of the iPad Mini 4.
- Switch on the Azerbaijani power outlet.
- The battery icon which you'll find in the top right hand corner of your tablet will display a charging icon to indicate that the tablet is charging and takes around 1 to 4.5 hours to recharge to full capacity.

Lisa says I should continue this blog even if I am in France and we all know who wears the trousers in this relationship. So I will have a weekly or so update on progress at the camp site. I will try to make it boat related if not to do with narrow boats. Talking of which, a kayak is a boat of rather narrow dimensions so we can include that here. We have a small flotilla of craft here some of which I build myself and others we have bought.
I was adjusting Lisa's kayak to fit me with the aim of trying it out if the rain ever stops and was in the process of adjusting the footrests which involved sitting in it with the spray deck on (very tightly as the cockpit is too large for the spray deck) when a new camper drove up to book in. He looked at me on the grass in the kayak and asked if he could do the administration. I then realised that I had tucked the handle to release the spray deck inside the boat under the overly tight elastic. After some struggling I still couldn't get out of the boat and had to admit defeat so told him to sort himself out and come back later. Goodness knows what he thought. I had visions of me hopping, whilst in the kayak using the paddle to aid forward movement, over to reception to sit behind the desk still encased in the kayak. Well I got out eventually. That's probably not the bast spray deck for capsizing with.
Lisa came over for the first week and I have been on my own for this week and will be until the outlaws get here towards the end of June. It's not busy at the moment (it's never busy) as there are only one or two enterprising Dutch at any time. Our French friends visit occasionally from Dijon to check I am still alive but mostly it's just me and the dog. Sam is here as well as it wouldn't have been fair to keep her locked up in the boat all day in the marina. Barking dogs probably don't go down too well there unlike to tow path where there is nobody to care whether your dog is barking or not. Barking partners are a different story all together.
We got here and, since the place hadn't been cut since August last year, it looked like a jungle. In fact I met Ray Mears filming whilst on the way to the toilet block. It looks much better now and I have cleared much of the grass with the last bits still to do. The toilets are cleaned and we are just waiting for campers to arrive. Fat chance.

Trying out new software -- Blogweaver, on a trial basis. I remain skeptical, but optimistic.
I'd like to draw your attention to a few new links on Velma's World: new Shoe Envy for the week, 2 new stash links, new WIP link, and a 'Steal My Button' button (hat tip to Joe). Check 'em out!
On the knitting front, I am almost finished with the Poodle Scarf (below) -- all that remains is finishing up the crocheted border, my first attempt with the hook. I'm pretty dang pleased with myself, if I do say so.

07b. Traditional stoves – India
According to ARTI, these typically are made of unfired clay, have a low efficiency, produce a lot of smoke and soot and have a life of just a couple of years. Two or three stone fires are also common.
The above picture shows a traditional shielded stove (right), and the improved version (left), which includes a grate, pot raiser, improved materials, and shape to increase thermal efficiency. This has been installed by ARTI.

Our Story of the Month
American Association for Physician Leadership: Promoting Patient Safety
This month's story on our webpage Our Stories: Exemplary Practices features the American Association for Physician Leadership. Peter Angood, MD, FRCS(C), FACS, MCCM, President and CEO, describes how they used an educational video to promote patient safety to physician leaders:
"We worked with the National Patient Safety Foundation to produce "Championing Patient Safety," a video about how leadership is the key to patient safety. The video highlights five key themes: education, care integration, patient engagement, workforce safety, and transparency. By doing so, this video reinforces the need for physician leaders to ensure these topics are considered in their daily work."

Productivity for Programmers
Last week I attended my first Boston.rb (Ruby user group) meeting. I've been meaning to go for a long time, but would always bail at the last minute, since I don't actually program in Ruby for a living. When I found out they would be watching Peepcodes's Productivity for Programmers video, I jumped all over it.
I've seen some Peepcode videos before, and I've always been impressed. In terms of quality, this one was no exception. Plus, who doesn't want to be more productive??
The Pros
– It was definitely geared more towards programmers, as opposed to other productivity books/videos I've seen.
- Made me really think about my time management, and how I can make the most out of my office time (as opposed to focusing on how long I worked)
- The focus on rewarding yourself for a job well done, and carving out more time to relax keeps things in perspective
- Excellent for watching in groups, so you can follow the video with thoughts and ideas on how others are applying these or other techniques
The Cons
- Consider slamming down some serious caffeine beforehand. The scenery and music is supposed to be relaxing/zen-like, but will probably put you out if you're tired.
- Most of the ideas you've heard before, just presented in a different way. If you're a hardcore David Allen / GTD fan, or know the 7 Habits by heart, you've probably heard it all before.
- For $19 it's not exactly the cheapest video out there
I'm definitely glad I got the chance to watch it, and enjoyed the discussion afterward. I'm not sure I would spend the $ to watch it alone, but I would definitely recommend it for a Friday afternoon lunch-n-learn at work, or a user group setting. Also, check out the guys blog if you want some more info on the kind of topics in the video.

- Friends Church Donholm
- Loreto Girls' Secondary School, Mwanza, Tanzania
God comes to us in free and undeserved favor in the person of Jesus Christ who lived, died, and rose for us that we might belong to God and serve Christ in the world. Following Jesus, Presbyterians are engaged in the world and in seeking thoughtful solutions to the challenges of our time.
Friends Church (Quakers), Donholm, is one of the monthly meetings of Friends Church (Quakers), Nairobi Yearly Meeting. The church came into existence in the year 2001 as a full monthly Meeting. At that time, the church had a membership of about 50 people only. Prior to that, the church was a Local church of Nairobi monthly meeting since the year 1995. Its first services were conducted from Buruburu High School (currently NPC, Buruburu). This explains why until the year 2016, the church was referred to as Friends Church (Quakers), Buruburu.

The theme for September's A Yearathon is standalone but instead of one week, I went with the standalone theme for the whole month and I named it Standalone September. I have 3 books in my TBR for Standalone September but sadly, I didn't manage to finish reading any of them.
I was reading actively during the first week when the A Yearathon was happening from 4 to 10 September. After the readathon, I went into a little reading slump. I did read but not everyday and there were a few consecutive days that I didn't read at all. I got out of the reading slump on the last week of the month and was actively reading with the hope to finish at least one book but I didn't succeed.
I started off with The Fill-in Boyfriend by Kasie West on the first week during the A Yearathon. I've always mention that I read 2 books consecutively with one being a novel and the other a poetry book. The Fill-in Boyfriend was the novel so when I felt I needed to take a break from the novel, I started reading the poetry book, Ask Me How I got Here by Christine Heppermann, in the middle of the month. I'm halfway through The Fill-in Boyfriend and almost finishing Ask Me How I got Here so I should be able to finish reading both books this month.
For the last book in my TBR, Me and Mr Darcy by Alexandra Potter, I definitely didn't read it at all. As mention in the TBR post, I'm already halfway through this book which I've been struggling to get through and will only be continuing it after I've finish The Fill-in Boyfriend. The plan will still go on and I'll be continuing this book after I've finish The Fill-in Boyfriend. Seems like October will be a catching up month because I've already got 3 books in my currently reading list and I don't want to overwhelm myself with a huge list by starting a new book.
As with all challenges and readathons that I've participated, I don't do well. As mentioned in the TBR post, I was going to take it easy and go with the flow of my mind and mood which I totally did. When the reading slump happened, I went along with it and didn't force myself to get out of it. Although I've not succeeded in any challenge or readathon, I'll still continue to do them because I believe one day I will succeed!
