A reliable investment strategy: Identify a widely diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks and build up additional holdings at favorable prices.
DRIPs can help you do that.
Even small investors can follow such a strategy by investing through dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs). That's because it takes ownership of only a single share of company stock to establish an account. Therefore, there is nothing to stop you from buying companies in a variety of industries.
As for buying at favorable prices, dollar-cost averaging virtually assures that you will buy most shares at favorable prices. And DRIPs provide an excellent way to dollar-cost average. These plans allow you to invest cash amounts to buy shares directly from the company. Once you are enrolled in a plan, you can invest amounts of as little as $25 or $50 (or as much as you can afford) to buy shares or fractions of shares. That's different than the traditional way to invest, which is to pay brokerage fees to buy a certain number of shares.

Article content
Montreal native and McGill alumnus Steven Pinker is returning home this week to promote his latest book, Enlightenment Now.
In his previous book, The Better Angels of Our Nature, Pinker argues that violence has declined globally across human history. Now, he expands this celebration of progress driven by Enlightenment values of reason and science to virtually all aspects of life, concluding with optimism for the future. Using a litany of data-driven figures and impartial reasoning, his mission is to banish what he sees as an illusion of global bleakness.

Opinion: Steven Pinker's optimism on climate change is misplaced Back to video
Pinker is right to draw our attention to recent worldwide victories in health and well-being. But we are dismayed to see a critical weakness in Pinker's discussion of the most perilous downside to such progress. As members of a generation born into accelerating disruption of environmental systems, we face the possible erosion of our well-being by climate change and ecosystem collapse within our lifetimes.

Article content
The American food activist and journalist, Michael Pollan, has a thoughtful article in the just-released New York Times food magazine. Though the piece is about a bill in California that would require genetically-modified foods to be labelled as such, there is much in it that speaks to what's happening here in Edmonton right now.
As we approach Oct. 26, the day of the public hearing into Edmonton's proposed food and agriculture strategy, it is a good time to reflect on what it means to have a food movement. What Pollan points out is that there is a big difference between a movement and a farmers market. The former, ideally, comes with some political clout. The latter sells carrots.

The food movement? What food movement? Back to video
Here in Edmonton, we have a farmers market. In fact, we have lots of farmers markets, where people congregate to meet producers, enjoy fresh air, spend their money supporting the local economy and generally feel good about themselves and the city we live in. What we need, however, is a food movement, one that threatens the political establishment with that pesky little democratic structure, the vote.
City council may well get away with doing precisely nothing of any substance to deal with the issue of urban agriculture because nobody is going to make them. There's not a single council member who has shown any real interest in the urban food debate. In the absence of a municipal election, with a few new candidates who care about urban food enough to challenge the status quo, there's little to motivate councilors to do anything but pay lip service to an urban food and agriculture policy.
Without a food movement – noisy, large, foot-stomping and engaged – there will be no budging city hall.

Assimilation Elation
Scene: I'm walking, focused on my Fay Da iced coffee, when a flash of color caught my attention. I registered the "strip club sign" neon before completely comprehending the life form attached to it.
I was going to let my mind settle the vision of a 50's something asian lady wearing skin tight, "strip club sign" neon spandex as just another cooky kook known to run rampant in this god forsaken cement hellhole.
She was babbling about something, looking up to scaffolding and business signs- talking at them like they'd insulted her somehow- or at least…that's what I thought.
But alas, the homeless person six feet behind her responded back in a crabby tone that suggested, not only that they knew each other, but that she was babbling to him and he wasn't having it.
I couldn't put the pieces together. The woman in neon spandex seemed completely not homeless, albeit definitely cray-cray. The homeless man seemed very homeless but of right mind. What the what?
And then, the answer struck me as so realistic I'd felt silly for not recognizing the signs immediately.
They were fucking aliens.
Think about it. If you were light years away, scoping out the round rock that is home to homo sapiens and taking notes on our culture…wouldn't you come dress in neon and homeless like attire?
Allow me to make my case:
So, suffice it to say- I WITNESSED ALIEN ASSIMILATION!
I'm a little vaklempt, my extra-terrestrial life forms are all grown up!

MamaBlogger365 – The Value of a Woman on International Women's Day by Joy Rose
The Museum of Motherhood is working with the International Justice Mission (www.ijm.org) to raise awareness against human trafficking.
Today is International Women's Day. A time for girls, women and mothers — and of course, the people who love them — to come together and raise awareness about the issues we face. One of the nearest and dearest to my heart is a mother's value. In purely economic terms, in North America, the job of mother has been calculated to have around a $115,000 annual salary, give or take, yet still, real pay for real labor equals zero, while worldwide statistics note that approximately 1 women around the world dies every 90 seconds from maternity related causes.
Last week at the United Nations' 56th Annual Commission On The Status of Women, I heard reports from all over the world, about women farmers fighting to own a piece of the agricultural pie where female ownership falls well under 10%, and rural African mothers and girls working to close educational gaps as they struggled for the basics of physical safety and water.

Senegal Compensation & BenefitsReading Time: 2 minutes
Providing the right compensation and benefits to your new employees is a great way to start a strong employment relationship and encourage higher retention rates. However, you need to learn Senegal's compensation laws, come up with a Senegal benefit management plan, and continue to run the rest of your company. Globalization Partners can make the process easier with our Senegal benefit outsourcing services. We act as the Employer of Record and take on all matters of compliance, compensation, and benefits.
Senegal Compensation Laws
Senegal has a national minimum wage you need to meet to comply with the country's compensation laws. General workers must get at least 209.10 CFA francs per hour, while agricultural workers need to receive at least 182.95 CFA francs per hour. The last time Senegal changed the minimum wage was 1996, so keep in mind these rates could change in the future.
Collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) could also affect Senegal compensation laws. While not very common, some CBAs outline the minimum wage for other industries. Always check if your employees are covered under a CBA.
Guaranteed Benefits in Senegal
Your Senegal benefit management plan must include certain guaranteed benefits required by law. For example, your employees are entitled to time off for the country's 14 national holidays. Most employees are also entitled to 24 days of paid annual leave, and a minimum of five paid sick days each year.
Although private health insurance is available, employers must enroll all employees in the Institut de Prévoyance Maladie (IPM) health fund. This fund covers 40-80% of an employee's medical, pharmaceutical, and hospital costs. As an employer, you must give employees a hospital allowance that covers any hospitalization costs, which the employee pays back.
How to Disperse Your Senegal Benefit Management Plan
You should include some additional benefits in your Senegal benefit management plan you dole out to employees. Many Senegal employers choose to give out performance-based, annual, and 13th-month bonuses throughout the year. You should include information about these bonuses in an employment contract that employees sign before they begin working for your company.
If you're not sure what supplemental benefits to offer, try talking with other Senegal employers. You can also poll employees to see what benefits mean the most to them.
Restrictions for Benefits and Compensation
The biggest restriction for Senegal benefits and compensation is incorporation. You must establish a subsidiary before you can hire employees and give out benefits and compensation. Globalization Partners takes this step out of the equation through our Senegal compensation outsourcing services. We have subsidiaries all around the world to help you start working in a new country faster. You won't have to set up a subsidiary or worry about staying compliant with Senegal's benefit and compensation laws.
Globalization Partners Can Help
Our goal at Globalization Partners is to help make your expansion quicker and easier. Contact us today to learn more about our Senegal compensation and benefit outsourcing services.

Protect Our Winters to Save Future of Snow Sports
Protect Our Winters is a non-profit organization that was started by Jeremy Jones, a pro snowboarder, in 2007. The organization is concerned with the effects of climate change on mountains, and in turn on winter sports and communities. Protect Our Winter's mission is to get the global snow sports community to unite and lead the way in fighting climate change.
Jeremy Jones saw the need for action to be taken when he experienced firsthand the effects of climate change. Resorts and areas that were once open to snowboarders and skiers had to be closed due to lack of snow. The greatest risk to winter sports is the increasing temperatures that will result in decreased snowpack in North America's western mountains, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This would ultimately mean less snow, with a shorter skiing and boarding season. While it has been noted that climate change may see more powder in certain areas, the warmer mountains are at risk. It is strongly believed by scientists that if action is taken now, mankind can reduce the build-up of greenhouse gases, lessening the rate and magnitude of climate change.
With this in mind, Protect Our Winters firmly believes that active participation by the community, along with a change in consumer behavior, means snow sport enthusiasts can have a positive impact on climate change. The organization is involved in activitism, education initiatives and other community projects. Amongst their campaigns is the POW Riders Alliance, which encourages winter sport athletes to set an example in reducing their carbon footprint and influence consumer behavior positively. The POW Community Fund/Monthly Grants program offers grants to community based groups working to fight climate change. Through global activism, Protect Our Winters educates others and also brings the community together to create awareness and bring about change, especially in relation to legislative issues.
Protect Our Winters has joined with Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) to establish the Hot Planet/Cool Athletes initiative, aimed at mountain community schools. Through the help of pro-athletes and multi-media, students learn about solutions to climate change and are inspired to take action. The Coal Kills Snow program has been formed along with The Sierra Club, highlighting how burning coal, as well as mining, are poor ways to generate power and are affecting climates in mountain regions. The focus is to move away from coal to renewable energy. Finally, the Resort Partnerships scheme is used to raise funds to assist community projects, as well as creating awareness through events.
A number of Protect Our Winters' projects have seen good results and they continue to work hard to save our mountains for the benefit of communities and winter sport fans.

The Bitcoin enthusiasm must have taken a large number of people via its prospects, however, investors are still piling onto what's expected to be the largest initial coin offering (ICO) yet—that of messaging app Telegram.
Telegram, whose initial date release was in August 2013, has pulled a lot of users by touting its encrypted-messaging service, raised $850 million from 94 accredited investors in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing late Thursday.
This is a very notable thing, owing to the fact that the previous raise was doubled first disclosed in mid-February, adding up to a total of $1.7 billion raised by the firm incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
And the fundraising might not stop there. The Thursday filing read, "The issuers may pursue one or more subsequent offerings."
The interest in Telegram, is developing at exactly the time when the Bitcoin coin is has been hitting a series a lows since the start of 2018. Once as high as $20,000 in December, the bitcoin price fell 6% to $6,600 on Friday.
The firm is thought to be using the proceeds from the private funding rounds to build a blockchain network, the Telegram Open Network (TON). The network would allow Telegram's 200 million users to pay for services on that blockchain, using the cryptocurrency Gram.
The fundraising comes at a time when the SEC has grown increasingly wary of ICOs.
With so many turn of events in the cryptocurrency world, the interests have been shifting. The bitcoin price is the one mainly accountable for channeling interest onto other crypto related platforms.
KryptoMoney.com publishes latest news and updates about Bitcoin, Blockchain Technology ,Cryptocurrencies and upcoming ICO's.

> Frankie Spires, 26, suffers from Samhainophobia – a rare condition which leaves people with a deep-seated fear of October 31.
> The affliction left Mr Spires, from Bromley, Kent, breaking out in cold sweats and with nausea in the days leading up to Halloween last year.
Yuk, this stinks! He is lucky to work with a very understanding management: they were figured something out and now assign Frankie duties away from the Halloween displays.

Developers dump the fountains as water concerns grow
Reuse of water and less mowing are trends for more environmentally friendly communities
In the plans for a new residential community in Clear Lake, the words "beautiful ditch" describe a hole in the ground filled with landscaped grasses and native plants requiring little maintenance. In the past, this area would have been filled with water like a pond and perhaps had a fountain shooting skyward from its center.
This so-called dry detention method of collecting runoff temporarily is being used more frequently by developers as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional detention ponds ubiquitous in master-planned communities across the Houston area.
"These features can be quite attractive and in my opinion can be comparable to backing up to a lake spraying water in the air," Will Holder, president of Trendmaker Homes, said Wednesday during a panel discussion on managing water resources amid the booming Texas economy. Trendmaker is developing the Clear Lake project.
At Cross Creek Ranch, a residential development in Fulshear, there are indigenous grasses that don't need much mowing or watering; "purple pipe" meant to carry reclaimed water; and a polishing basin where water from dishwashers and washing machines in the homes is cleaned and reused for irrigation.
"Reuse and conservation within the home and within the communities themselves are really the future," said Holder, whose company developed Cross Creek Ranch but later sold it.
With the Texas population projected to spike in the coming decades, it is critical to plan for the increased water demands the new residents will bring, panelist Carlos Rubinstein, chairman of the Texas Water Development Board, said at the luncheon hosted by the Houston chapter of the Urban Land Institute.
Water conditions remain strained since the state's 2011 drought.
More than half of Texas, Rubinstein said, is still experiencing moderate to significant drought conditions.
He expressed optimism over the 2013 voter-supported measure that created a $2 billion fund to advance water projects in Texas over the next 50 years and enhance financing methods to pay for those projects.
"This time next year we'll be cutting the first checks of the$2 billion fund," Rubinstein said.
Peter Houghton, chairman of the North Fort Bend Water Authority, said there needs to be better plans in place for reusing and conserving water.
As the area grows, he said, the authority has been debating whether to require developers to install purple pipe in their projects. Such pipe systems carry recycled nonpotable water from sanitary treatment plants.
Even as water gets more expensive, usage is rising.
Some of that is due to growth, but an uneducated consumer population is also partly to blame, Houghton said.
Commercial developers are also looking for ways to incorporate water-saving measures in their projects.
At its new office development at Interstate 10 and North Eldridge, Trammell Crow Co. is installing rainwater collection systems for irrigation.
Natural grasses and native landscaping plans are being used more often to reduce outdoor irrigation.
Such features help developers earn points toward green building certification and reduce operating expenses in commercial structures.
"Today, water is not a big component of that," said Trammell Crow's Brandon Houston, "but it will be over time."

DJ Smokes is at it again, sprinkling some magic onto Supa Mega's One Time hit. On this remix he gives it what he calls a 'future dancehall' touch. That I can vouch to. It's definitely got that electro-esque dance feel. The effects on Supa Mega's voice and the keys have that, well, futuristic vibe too.
We've been having heaters for the summer, I'm relying on this one to cool us off pretty good at those parties.

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 21:19, "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (KJV)"
The cursing of the fig tree shows Jesus authority over things in nature. Similar to when Jesus made the winds and waves obey Him; which is found in all three accounts of the synoptic Gospels (Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, and Luke 8:22-25.) However, in Matthew chapter 21 Jesus does an astonishing thing, which amazed His disciples. Matthew 21:18-19 states, "(18) Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. (19) And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (KJV)"
Jesus as God is the Only One who had this earthly authority when He walked the earth. To make all created things obey Him. Also, the good thing about "authority"; Jesus told His disciples in verse 21. They would have this same authority, if they put their faith in God and did not doubt. However, the Lord does not want our lives to look like leaves. Leaves only grow more leaves; which is just useful for the tree it is on. The Lord wants us to be producers of fruit. Good luscious fruit fit for the King and His Kingdom. Israel at the time produced leaves; but, bore no fruit. They were too preoccupied with being under the Romans rule. As a result, hatred came forth, rather than love as God required from His people. They should have been missionaries to the Gentiles. Followers of Jesus Christ are to be fruit producers.
In Mark 12:13, it states that Jesus had seen a particular fig tree afar off. This lets us know; even if we are in a crowd; the Lord sees us and He knows where we are at all times. He knows whether or not our fruit is ripening or if we are allowing it to remain as green leaves. We are not hidden in the grove from the Lord. In other words, are we growing and producing? We do not want our lives to be dried up from the roots. As stated in Mark 11:20 about the fig tree. This tree was not fit for use; even for Jesus. Therefore, He withered its roots so it would eventually become nonexistent. Wow! The power of God; He has the power to give life and take it away. All POWER and Authority are in His Hands. Our lives are never in a crowd. We are singled out by the Lord; whether or not we want to be. Why? God is relational. We are individually created by God for a purpose. We have been carefully crafted as a special jewel with created value. Therefore, our relationship begins with God, through His Son...Jesus Christ. We, as individuals have to stand before God for our sins; not in a crowd. I would like to encourage you to let your light shine for Christ as a fruit producer. Rather than in a crowd of nonproducing leaves. Come out from among people that are trying to darken your light for Jesus Christ.
You have a special purpose in God's Kingdom. Walk in your calling! Learn His Word, Lean on His Word, Live His Word, Abide in His Word, Apply His Word, Delight in His Word, Commit to His Word, Trust in His Word, and Share His Word! Live purposefully for Jesus Christ!
PRAYER: Lord, my life is for Your use. To become a producer of hearty fruit, fit for You and Your Kingdom. In Your Precious and Holy Name, Amen!
In the service of Jesus Christ,
Wanda Carr

What is the constant at AWE Gallery Annex? Change. As in art exhibits. Today, I had the privilege of meeting Bonnie and Gene Martz who spearheaded the March CLIR exhibit at AWE.
What's CLIR you ask? Created by the University of California Berkeley Extension SF, CLIR (Center for Learning in Retirement) provides a venue for those in the Bay Area over 50 who enjoy new learning and social opportunities. CLIR offers educational, cultural, social program. For more info and to join: clirsf.org.
To return to our story on change. It's close to 1PM and Alice Steele (photographer, collective member of AWE Gallery, and CLIR enthusiast) has joined Bonnie, Gene, and me. The CLIR show has been struck; the walls are bare. We quip what we have before us is a most minimal art.
As with change, the walls won't be minimal for long. From April 6 – 28, 2013, photographer extraordinaire, Roxanne Worthington presents Zaubermarchen/Tales of Magic. Opening reception: Sunday, April 7, 2013 1pm – 4 pm. Poetry reading: Sunday, April 14, 2013 beginning at 2 PM. Check out the AWE Gallery Events for details.
A final comment on change. While the main gallery at AWE always showcases the collective artists – Stacy Boorn, Alice Steele,Chris Kibre, Janet Stock, and Susan Black, you can stop in any Saturday or Sunday (noon – 5 PM) and glimpse new work by these fine artists. Yup, change is the constant.
P.S. Hope to see you at a CLIR event — soon.

The Kawanishi H8K (Allied code name Emily) was a large, four-engine Japanese flying boat used in the Pacific as a reconnaissance aircraft, bomber, and transport. Its performance during the war was considered
exceptional combining fast flying capabilities and superior hydrodynamic qualities. The H8K was first used in combat in 1942 and earned a reputation among Allied forces as one of the hardest Japanese aircraft to shoot
down. It was considered the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Navy's maritime reconnaissance element. The H8K carried a crew of ten and was armed with nose, dorsal and tail machine gun turrets.

The doctrine of Scripture determines precisely how theology is done and what authority theological statements—including those in sermons, dogmatic texts, and confessional writings—possess. At stake is nothing less than truth itself and the possibility of communicating the truth of Christ to mankind.
" A very valuable and needed work, pointing out the grave dangers facing the Lutheran Church today—largely owing to the refusal of its theologians to "think theologically" (Sasse) and to the laxity of ecclesiastical and institutional bureaucrats to take their disciplinary responsibilities seriously."

Sweet Beaux and Milly have been soaking up the sun in Dallas! The twins are loving life here in Texas, and growing so much. I seriously looked back at pictures of them a few days ago and almost started crying (bc pregnant lol) I don't think I realized how big they had gotten until I looked back at old pictures! So... I felt the need to pupdate on the babies!
While we took pictures for the BABY BARNETT blog post, we also took some cute family pictures together with the twins! I have a feeling these will be some of my favorites to look back on down the road. You can see both of their little personalities, and I love that.
We have a classic case of Daddy's girl and Momma's boy at our house!
Callie came and took these pictures for us, and snapped this one as we were walking! It is seriously one of my favorite pictures.
So grateful for our little family of four, soon to be five!
I will never, repeat never, get over those eyes! Look at him...
Milly and Beaux are King Charles Cavaliers, and we got them from Corpus Christi, Texas! You can read all about the adventure HERE

Ada Obiako: The Art of Saying "No"
I'm guessing your life is full of people who constantly ask you for some "thing" (money, time, energy, sex, etc).
It's hard to say no when you're a people pleaser. It's hard to say no when you feel a sense of expectation or obligation. It's hard to say no when you desperately desire to be liked, loved, or validated by another human being.
Once upon a time, I found saying "no" to be a much-dreaded task; now, I find it utterly liberating.
To be clear, I don't expect any of us to say "no" to everything – that would be extremely selfish. To cultivate a spirit of gratitude and generosity, we must also be willing to "do unto others as we want done unto us", which means saying yes to requests and opportunities to serve (volunteering time and energy to varying causes, helping others with problem-solving needs, etc) when possible. The key is learning how to balance your yes or no responses appropriately.
It's easier to know when to say yes — a health emergency in the family and money needs to be pooled together for medical bills; a friend applying for new job postings in need of people to list as references on his/her CV; a supervisor asking you to complete a work task clearly outlined in your job description as part of your responsibilities. On the other hand, it can prove much more difficult to know when it is "right" to say no.
With that being said, instinct is a wonderful thing.
I have learned to rely on it much more now than I ever did in the past. When someone asks something of me, I usually take a moment to check within myself to determine if my initial reaction is an easy yes and I feel at peace. If I don't and instead feel conflicted or unhappy for a prolonged period about it, then 9 out of 10 times it means I should respond with a "no". There have been several occasions when I should have said no to a request but didn't. One example is when my gal pals and I were taking a road trip from New Orleans to Houston in my car a few years back and they asked me to drive past the speed limit because I was "snailing" it on the road; although I wasn't in support I obliged, subsequently got pulled over by the cops, and fined an exorbitant amount for speeding.
In many instances, a "no" is required for ones physical, emotional, and mental health / wellbeing.
The truth is you cannot be everything to everybody; you're only one person. This truth will not always sit well with folks and that is A-OK. There will never be a time when you can please all people; the more you try, the more frustrated and resentful you're likely to become. Now I can't tell you when or when not to respond with a yes or no in your life; however, I can tell you that from personal experience, the sooner you start exercising your "no" muscle, the more courageous and happier you'll find yourself to be, with your sanity intact…ideally 🙂

SHELLY BEACH SNIPPETS July 2014
Winter weather at last with heavy snow falling on the highlands and making the skiers happy. Meanwhile, surfers are still pounding the waves regardless of the weather — the bigger the waves the better they like it. Sadly, the Socceroos departed from The World Cup earlier this month after a 3-2 loss to Netherlands. They played hard and did well but it was not to be and the indefatigable German side snatched the victory in the finals. On the upside though, N.S.W. Blues finally beat Queensland Maroons in the State of Origin to end an eight-year drought. Queensland supremacy in rugby league is over.
Whale watchers were ecstatic when Migaloo the great white whale was spotted in Sydney harbour. This famous whale was sighted in the company of four other whales as the seasonal migration of humpbacks makes their way to warmer waters. The sensational white humpback was first observed in 1991 and named Migaloo an aboriginal word for 'White Fella'. He was the only known white whale in the world until 2011 when an all-white calf was filmed. It is not known how old he is but experts have estimated he was possibly born in 1988. These beautiful creatures can live to 80 years of age. Migaloo, who glows like a fluorescent light, has 'Special Status' in N.S.W. and Queensland: watchers must stay at least 500 metres away – 600 metres for aircraft and jet skis – and there are heavy fines for law breakers. With interest ever-growing over Migaloo's sighting, Twitter and Emails are flourishing and the news goes around the world. Meanwhile, the whales frolic and play, altogether blissfully unaware of the interest storm they are creating, or are they?
The search for missing Flight MH370 continues, as do the multiple theories about its fate, including claims that the aircraft was accidently shot down in a military exercise that went wrong. Questions also abound over the mystery cargo, since NNR Global Logistics refuses to reveal its contents. It is also suggested that Flight 370's flight path implies the plane went 'rogue' to dodge military radar and avoid flying over land. Other theories concentrate on the pilot being the chief suspect in the saga. The Australian Government has now launched a private tender contract to find the wreckage of the plane. It has budgeted $60m over the next year to fund the search and will give the winning bidder 300 days to get results. A new area has been targeted west of Perth when an underwater probe resumes in August.
If you fancy going Medieval, Kryal Castle in Ballarat Victoria is the place for you. This adventure park creates a legendary land of fairytales with wizards, kings, queens, princesses, princes and fairies galore. Within the castle is a dragon's labyrinth to be negotiated and the stunning special effects make it great fun. Jousting and sword fighting contests, rendered in flamboyant costumes of the past, will keep you on your toes as the excitement mounts. The menu of fun is endless: the wizard mixing potions, the torture dungeon with medieval implements, a wonderful maze and, of course, the knights' round table. Altogether a fascinating experience and one that takes you back to a very colourful era. Ideal for school holidays.
Sydney's most historical area is known as the 'Rocks'. Its oldest dwelling — built in 1813 as a barrack for the coxswain and crews of the government boats – is known as 'Cadman's Cottage' after the longest and most colourful resident John Cadman. He arrived from England in 1789, convicted for stealing a horse. He worked in the colony for 32 years and then married Elizabeth Mortimer, who had been transported in 1818 for stealing a brush. They lived happily in the pretty stone cottage overlooking Sydney Cove for 15 years. This area is rich with stories like this and is a favourite for both residents and visitors, abounding with romance — Sydney's heart, the birthplace of our nation.
The centre of the 'Rocks' is Argyle Street, named by Governor Macquarie in 1810 when it became a residential district for maritime workers. These dwellings are mainly terraced houses, small and close together and, today, extremely valuable and much sought after. There is a delightful village Green which is a focal point for visitors and residents alike, old fashioned lampposts and beautiful trees, with a feeling of stepping back in the past. A splendid Garrison Church was built in 1840 and the 'Cut', hewn through solid stone by convicts, designed to make easy access from Sydney Cove to Darling Harbour. We have much to thank these chain-ganged convicts for.
Today, the 'Rocks' is a hub of activity amid its quaint cobblestone laneways, and charming sandstone buildings harking back to the past. It has become a home for the arts, new parks, plazas, walkways, cosy cafes, old pubs, boutiques, souvenir shops, upmarket restaurants, Opal Jewellers and markets. Aboriginal art, bark paintings, bags and baskets — you name it and you will find it at the 'Rocks'. I plan to take you on a walking tour in the next Snippets.
Here at Shelly Beach the weather is cold but very sunny and bright. The birds are as hungry as ever and seem to grow in number all the time. My Yellow Wattle Bird has become very tame and waits daily for me to hand feed him, he is a real sweetie. Don't forget to let me know if you want more on the "Rocks".
Cheers. Patricia.

$$\det(A^T) = \det(A)$$
Using the geometric definition of the determinant as the area spanned by the columns, could someone give a geometric interpretation of the property?
This is more-or-less a reformulation of Matt's answer. He relies on the existence of the SVD-decomposition, I show that $\det(A)=\det(A^T)$ can be stated in a little different way.
Every square matrix can be represented as the product of an orthogonal matrix (representing an isometry) and an upper triangular matrix (QR decomposition)- where the determinant of an upper (or lower) triangular matrix is just the product of the elements along the diagonal (that stays in its place under transposition), so, by the Binet formula, $A=QR$ gives: $$\det(A^T)=\det(R^T Q^T)=\det(R)\det(Q^T)=\det(R)\det(Q^{-1}),$$ $$\det(A^T)=\frac{\det{R}}{\det{Q}}=\det(Q)\det(R)=\det(QR)=\det(A),$$ where we used that the transpose of an orthogonal matrix is its inverse, and the determinant of an orthogonal matrix belongs to $\{-1,1\}$ - since an orthogonal matrix represents an isometry.
You can also consider that $(*)$ the determinant of a matrix is preserved under Gauss-row-moves (replacing a row with the sum of that row with a linear combination of the others) and Gauss-column-moves, too, since the volume spanned by $(v_1,\ldots,v_n)$ is the same of the volume spanned by $(v_1+\alpha_2 v_2+\ldots,v_2,\ldots,v_n)$. By Gauss-row-moves you can put $A$ in upper triangular form $R$, then have $\det A=\prod R_{ii}.$ If you apply the same moves as column moves on $A^T$, you end with $R^T$ that is lower triangular and has the same determinant of $R$, obviously. So, in order to provide a "really geometric" proof that $\det(A)=\det(A^T)$, we only need to provide a "really geometric" interpretation of $(*)$. An intuition is that the volume of the parallelepiped originally spanned by the columns of $A$ is the same if we change, for istance, the base of our vector space by sending $(e_1,\ldots,e_n)$ into $(e_1,\ldots,e_{i-1},e_i+\alpha\, e_j,e_{i+1},\ldots,e_n)\,$ with $i\neq j$, since the geometric object is the same, and we are only changing its "description".
A geometric interpretation in four intuitive steps....
The Determinant is the Volume Change Factor
Think of the matrix as a geometric transformation, mapping points (column vectors) to points: $x \mapsto Mx$. The determinant $\mbox{det}(M)$ gives the factor by which volumes change under this mapping.
For example, in the question you define the determinant as the volume of the parallelepiped whose edges are given by the matrix columns. This is exactly what the unit cube maps to, so again, the determinant is the factor by which the volume changes.
A Matrix Maps a Sphere to an Ellipsoid
Being a linear transformation, a matrix maps a sphere to an ellipsoid. The singular value decomposition makes this especially clear.
If you consider the principal axes of the ellipsoid (and their preimage in the sphere), the singular value decomposition expresses the matrix as a product of (1) a rotation that aligns the principal axes with the coordinate axes, (2) scalings in the coordinate axis directions to obtain the ellipsoidal shape, and (3) another rotation into the final position.
The Transpose Inverts the Rotation but Keeps the Scaling
The transpose of the matrix is very closely related, since the transpose of a product is the reversed product of the transposes, and the transpose of a rotation is its inverse. In this case, we see that the transpose is given by the inverse of rotation (3), the same scaling (2), and finally the inverse of rotation (1).
(This is almost the same as the inverse of the matrix, except the inverse naturally uses the inverse of the original scaling (2).)
The Transpose has the Same Determinant
Anyway, the rotations don't change the volume -- only the scaling step (2) changes the volume. Since this step is exactly the same for $M$ and $M^\top$, the determinants are the same.
Since $\text{sign}(\sigma^{-1})=\text{\sign}(\sigma)$ and $\phi:S_n\to S_n,\sigma\mapsto\sigma^{-1}$ is a bijection, we have $\det(A)=\sum_{\sigma\in S_n}\text{sign}(\sigma)\prod_{i=1}^na_{i\sigma(i)}=\sum_{\sigma\in S_n}\text{sign}(\sigma^{-1})\prod_{i=1}^na_{\sigma^{-1}(i)i}=\sum_{\sigma\in S_n}\text{sign}(\sigma)\prod_{i=1}^na_{\sigma(i)i}=\det(A^t)$
Note: I'm not using the geometric definition, but I could only post this here since the question without the geometric requirement was flagged incorrectly as a duplicate of this problem.
I came up with the same question when I was watching a linear algebra tutorial by Professor Wildberger. And I think there's another interesting explanation in it. My personal math background is not very good, so I suggest watching the first ten lectures of the series. Here's the link.
The series first talked about wedge product. so if you have two vectors $v_1$ and $v_2$, the wedge product $v_1 \lor v_2$ represents a signed area or volume.
Another idea is to consider a matrix transformation to be a coordinates change. Take 2x2 matrix as example:
$$ \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \\ \end{pmatrix} * \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} y_1 \\ y_2 \\ \end{pmatrix} $$
Let $e_1$ and $e_2$ to be the base of the plane. If we substitute $(1, 0)$ and $(0, 1)$ into $(x_1, x_2)$ separately, we will have $(a, c)$ and $(b, d)$ to be the new base after change of coordinates. If we assume the area of each grid in the old coordinates to be 1, namely $e_1 \lor e_2 = 1$, we will have $(a, c) \lor (b, d)$ be the area of each grid in the new coordinates. The result of $(a, c) \lor (b, d)$ happens to be $ad - bc$, which is the determinant. From a geometric point of view, it represents the ratio of area change.
Now let's take $x_1$ and $x_2$ themselves as bases, namely, let $x_1 = e_1$ and $x_2 = e_2$. We will then have $y_1 = a e_1 + b e_2$ and $y_2 = c e_1 + d e_2$. The wedge product of $y_1$ and $y_2$ also represents the same area change ratio, and the value is $(a, b) \lor (c, d) = ad - bc$ as well.
In the above calculation, we're using matrix columns in the first case, and matrix rows in the second case, and they are transpose of each other, thus the determinant of a matrix is the same as that of its transpose.
This is probably not a rigour way to think, but it's quite interesting.
Here's an algebraic proof, followed by a geometric interpretation of it, which could be summarized as follows.
Volumes can be computed with scalar products by cut-and-pasting, and because of the definition of the transpose, the volume spanned by some $Av_i$ and the volume spanned by the corresponding $A^tv_i$ can be decomposed using the same pieces.
Let $V$ be a vector space. For all vectors $x_1,\ldots, x_n$ of $V$ and $y_1,\ldots y_n$ linear functionals on $V$ define \begin{equation*} V(x,y)= \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)\prod_{i} y_i(x_{\sigma(i)}). \end{equation*}
It is easy to check that for fixed $y$'s this is a multilinear alternating form on the $x$'s. Conversely for fixed $x$'s it is an alternating multilinear form on the $y$'s. It follows that
\begin{align*} \det(A^t)V(x,y) &=V(x,A^ty)\\ &=\sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)\prod_{i} A^ty_i(x_{\sigma(i)})\\ &=\sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)\prod_{i} y_i(Ax_{\sigma(i)})\\ &=V(Ax,y) \\ &=\det(A)V(x,y) \end{align*} whence $\det(A)=\det(A^t)$ for properly chosen $x$ and $y$'s.
For the geometric interpretation we now replace the linear functionals $y$ by vectors and evaluation $y(x)$ by scalar product $(y,x)$. Furthermore we chose $x$ and $y$ to be equal to the canonical basis.
The above formula for $V(x,y)$ gives a decomposition of the volume spanned by the $Ax$ into a sum of volumes of 'hyperrectangles' whose sides are given by scalar products $(Ax_i,x_j)$. The exact same factors $(x_i,A^tx_j)$ and the same 'hyperrectangles' intervene when decomposing the volume spanned by the $A^t x$.
Hence the $Ax$ and the $A^tx$ span the same volume so that $A$ and $A^t$ have same determinant.
One can argue that it is difficult to see in a concrete example why the same factors appear. But then one should also say that it is difficult to see in a concrete example what the transpose of a transformation looks like, because of the indirect nature of its definition.
For any square matrix $A$, we have $PA=LDU$. Therefore, $A=P^{T}LDU$ (LU decomposition) where $P$ is permutation matrix, $D$ is diagonal matrix, $L$ is lower triangular matrix with diagonal is 1 or 0, $U$ is upper triangular matrix.
Because $P^{T}P=I$, then $|P^{T}||P|=1$. Therefore, we have $|P||U^{T}||D^{T}||L^{T}|=|P||U||D||L|=|P^{T}||U||D||L|=|A|$.

What happens if Western civilization sits on the couch in a psychiatrist's office? This is the brilliant premise of this new book by Dr. Nicholas Beecroft. It contains some of the richest dialogue I have read about a journey towards conscious evolution in easy to understand language. The author leaves no stone unturned in this rich illumination of every possible issue that faces Western civilization today. Dr. Beecroft uses the value systems approach to carry home the point of his message. This was a developmental model that was introduced by Dr. Clare Graves and further developed by Dr. Don E. Beck through his Spiral Dynamics Integral theory. At one point this approach was called "the theory that explains everything", and the author succeeds handedly in explaining everything that ails the West. Page after page, the reader comes to understand that West is not unlike the metaphorical god Atlas carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is struggling with his own identity and is confronted with daily challenges to the values that make up the very ideals of Western culture.
The subjects of discourse range from issues of sexuality, science, and medicine and on to social psychology issues like the real meaning of patriotism, democracy and global governance. I couldn't help but notice the expansion of my own mind reading these sessions between the patient and the healer. Many years ago, Graves told the world that humanity was preparing for a momentous leap. In this rich and timely book, Dr. Beecroft's treatment of West has left no doubt in my mind that the momentous leap is upon us.
This whole systems approach to understanding who we are as humans is the only way for us to move forward in a world that is increasingly becoming a global family with a diverse and rich tapestry of inclusion.
