When I say thrill-seeker, what immediately springs to mind?
Is it spending all day riding the biggest rollercoasters with your mates, driving that bit faster when the roads are empty at night, or crossing the road without waiting for the green man to say you can?
Or is it more like scuba-diving into the depths of the unknown ocean, sky-diving 15,000ft from a plane, or zip-wiring over miles of unknown territory?
Well, whatever your definition may be, it's probably fair to say many of us would like to class ourselves as a bit of a risk-taker, or a thrill-seeker.
But now, a study has found the biggest thrill-seekers of us all (in the UK at least) live in Cardiff.
A poll of 2,000 adults found 73 per cent of those in the Welsh capital describe themselves as being adventurous and happy to live life 'on the edge'.
Newcastle came second on the list, followed by Edinburgh, with Belfast ranked fourth and Glasgow in fifth place.
John Annoh, from hotel chain Premier Inn, who commissioned the research said:
Adventurousness means many things to many different people.
Which brings me back to my initial point.
Things like riding a rollercoaster, which to some is the scariest thing they could ever do and therefore adventurous, could be regarded to others as a minor activity.
The study also found half of those polled admit they 'wish they had the guts' to be more adventurous from time to time, with 66 per cent of respondents believing getting out of their comfort zone is vital and has tangible benefits.
These include potentially meeting new friends, visiting places they may never otherwise have seen, and changing the way we see the world.
So which activities do us Brits wish we could try out?
Well, according to the survey, the most exciting activity would be to go on a safari, closely followed by a flight in a hot air balloon.
Around 14 per cent would love to take on an adrenaline-fuelled skydive – with just one in 20 Brits having already ticked it off their list of things to do.
To me, these things sound like the type of activity more likely to be done on holiday – what are the chances of us hopping in a hot air balloon in the middle of Manchester?
And it's true – 35 per cent of Brits say they're more adventurous when they go on holiday, with 16 per cent booking holidays purely to try out new activities.
However, nearly three quarters of responders think there's plenty to do at home in the UK, so maybe the idea adventure can only be found abroad is a myth?
Mr Annoh added:
From cliff walking to skydiving, Premier Inn's 750 locations across the UK and Ireland allow people to explore any activity across the country.
Getting out of your comfort zone or starting a new hobby has never been easier and Premier Inn is a great place to start your next adventure.
And it seems things are looking up, as twice as many Brits believe their generation is more adventurous than the one before.
So whether you sign up for a charity sky-dive (not for me thanks) or simply start a new hobby, it doesn't matter!
As long as you do what's right for you, who's to judge?

Trying to keep up with the study (got 91.5/100 for my last assignment - woohooo!!!!), work is happening, and the baby is growing. My belly's definitely getting pointier, and despite still being nearly 5 kg under my pre-pregnancy weight, my pants are getting tighter around the belly.
Andrew's parents are here for 3 weeks, but are off exploring the US and Canada for most of it, but it means we have to keep the house clean, and the fridge stocked with real food (since The Company feeds us 3 meals a day). They seem to be having fun so far though.
Nothing else terribly exciting happening. We're booked in on May 10 to get a funky 3D/4D ultrasound where we'll find out the sex of the baby, so that'll be cool. I reckon it's a girl (which means it's probably a boy), anyone want to put their bets in for the sex? :)

Aortic aneurysm and being pregnant
I s'pose it's about time I talked about the health issues for me associated with having a baby. I have an aortic aneurysm, which is a ballooning of the aorta. Mine is in the aortic root (which is where the aorta connects to the heart), and is currently around 4.4cm. The upper range of "normal" is 3.8cm. My dad and aunt died of aortic aneurysms when they were 28 and 24 respectively, and their aneurysms were both in their aortic root, so it's definitely genetic and not just a coincidence.
The cardiologist over here I see is David Liang at the "Stanford University Center for Marfan Syndrome and Related Aortic Disorders" who is fantastic. I was seeing a cardiologist back in Australia, but they were nowhere near as knowledgeable as the guys over here in the US.
Anyway, so Dr Liang said if we wanted kids we should do so sooner rather than later because if my aneurysm got any bigger, it would be too risky to go through pregnancy. So my Depo Provera injections finally started to be wearing off a year after my last injection, and Andrew and I were deciding whether we should wait a bit longer, or start trying to have kids. Next thing we knew, I was pregnant. How 'bout that? Decision made!
So I booked in for the high risk obstetrician, and she ended up bringing our first appointment forward a week to recommend termination to us. Apparently they see young people with aneurysms who get pregnant as very risky because of the lack of data. The most common sex and age group for non-genetic aneurysms are older males who funnily enough don't often get pregnant :)
There was so way we'd get a termination, I was grinning like an idiot the entire time she was telling me she didn't agree with us being pregnant – I didn't care, I had a little baby growing in me and was pretty bloody excited!
We've since had another OB appointment, and I've spoken to someone else who has genetic aortic aneurysms in their family. I now have more information and understand the consequences a lot better and fully realise the risks of me being pregnant.
So during pregnancy the body's hormones make things like connective tissue stretchy to let the child grow. This is bad for things like aortas that are already bigger than they should be. The heart is pumping a lot harder to support the little life form, which is why a lot of pregnant people get high blood pressure. For me it means the blood is pumping harder through the weakened, stretchy aneurysm. So things could go wrong at any point.
The risk is my aneurysm could dissect (split). When this happens, it is generally rather painful - it was described to me by this girl who has aneurysms in her family and had a dissection 3 years ago at age 28 as "like someone had ripped my chest open with a chainsaw and someone was blowing a blow torch inside". It requires open heart surgery to replace the damaged aorta, and is a long surgery with a very long recovery time.
I previously wasn't too worried about the risks as I know they're pretty low, and I didn't really understand how the body changes during pregnancy (except for the obvious changes), and what it means.
Now I have a much better idea of the risks involved, why it could change all of a sudden, and the girl I've been talking to about genetic aneurysms said that in her family they seem to be getting dissections at between 4.2-4.6cm (mine's 4.4). I had no idea they COULD dissect that small. So it's a massive reality check for me, and the risks are all of sudden a lot more real, and it's all sunk in.
Understanding this a lot better now, if I could go back in time and have the choice again of getting pregnant again, I probably still would... I am confident that if I do end up having a dissection (which is a very slim chance, but still a chance), that I am near the best cardiologists and surgeons in the world, and will be well taken care of.
It all hit me on Wednesday, and was still sinking in yesterday and I was very shaken up about it all, and quite scared of the consequences, but I got it all out of my system, and feel much better for it today. I hate the fact that there's absolutely nothing I can do about it, and there's nothing else the doctors can do about it - they won't operate unless it grows suddenly, or reaches the 5/5.5cm mark over time. I'm on beta blockers to keep my heart rate and blood pressure down, and I just have to be very careful – they recommended easy walking as the maximum amount of exercise, and to do nothing to get my blood pressure or heart rate up.
We'd also planned a trip to Dublin in June to renew our US work visas since Andrew will already be in Edinburgh for a conference, but they won't let me fly because I'll be 6 months pregnant then and my heart is working very hard at that point, and the risks are too high. As well as that, if anything goes wrong, I'm a long way away from my doctors.
So hopefully Andrew can renew his work visa, and mine is dependent on his, so the lawyers should be able to sort something out so I can just go to Canada to renew, or even better, do it from the US (apparently you can't reapply from inside the US...)
So that's the latest on the health dramas for those of you who have been wondering.

14 weeks tomorrow!
I'm officially in the second trimester now! *happy dance*
Tomorrow I'll be at 14 weeks - it's just FLYING by :) The nausea is all gone, just have the occasional bouts of not feeling the best, which is completely manageable. I have got a heap of energy back, although am still often tired.
Between work, study and growing a life form though, I guess that's understandable :) Lucky Andrew is very supportive and does all the housework which gives me time to study and nap when I need to!
I feel like we're getting all organised with this whole baby thing. We've had an ultrasound which confirms the baby is happy and healthy (so far!), I've made the second trimester, we've booked into the birth classes which are scheduled for August, we have our second obstetrician appointment next week, we're booked in for a funky 4d ultrasound where they can tell with 99% accuracy what the sex is (that's a few weeks away still) and we're starting to think about the baby room and how to set it up.
It's getting rather exciting! Only 26 weeks to go... :)

In search of laksa
So tonight I wasn't feeling 100% - possibly because my belly got very poked in the ultrasound this morning, and I had breakfast and a decent sized lunch (I can't eat much these days!!). So I was not terribly hungry, and definitely not wanting anything too solid. I wanted a nice, clear, liquidy soup. I was thinking of getting some Pho from the local Vietnamese place, but then decided what I REALLY wanted was laksa.
We were at Costco bulk buying ridiculous amounts of crap, and the more I thought about laksa, the more I wanted it. So we went into Downtown Mountain View on the search for laksa. There was a place in Canberra that did FANTASTIC laksa. So tasty and satisfying. THAT'S what I was after!
I thought it was Thai cuisine, so we went searching all the Thai places but nobody had even heard of laksa! So after calling 3 different friends, we finally found someone near the internet. Dan saved us and informed us that it was actually Malay/Singaporean cuisine, and there was a place around the corner from where we were walking which sold it. Woohoo!!
So we went there, and finally got some laksa to take away. Then near the car I realised it was leaking. The paper bag had a styrofoam bowl with a plastic lid, and a Chinese style fold up container which had the noodles in it. Unfortunately the weight of the noodles caused the laksa lid to cave in and laksa to go all through the bag. Ruh-roh!!!!
Lucky my husband is very patient and wonderful, so he drove back to the place we got it from and we got them to get a new bowl of laksa, and they put it in a nice plastic bag!
So we got home and the noodles were thick, and soup wasn't clear :( It was more coconuty than the Canberra place, but it was ok. I much prefer vermicelli noodles in my laksa, but this was still fine. I wouldn't race back there again, I'm keen to find other local laksa places, but it was definitely tasty, and definitely filled the hole without making me ill!

13 week ultrasound
We went along today for genetic counselling and a nuchal translucency which tests for Downs Syndrome, Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18. It was all pretty straight forward, they made sure we realised that our child would have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the family heart condition, which we know, and they explained the other testing we were having.
The nuchal translucency was really just an excuse for us to see the baby again :) We have no family history of anything like that, we're young and healthy, and as far as I know, we're not related :) So the ultrasound showed that the baby is fine and looks clear of anything major.
It was an awesome ultrasound though. The first one it was just a wee blob. This time is actually looked like a baby! And it was bouncing and jumping around, wiggling its arms and legs. It was VERY cool. I couldn't believe how active it was! And the doc could poke my belly with the ultrasound transducer (so wikipedia tells me that thingy is called) to make the baby move so she could get a better photo of it! I could have sat there all day watching the little baby wiggle around. It certainly made it a lot more real! It was great to have Andrew there as well so we could share that moment together :)
Anyway, so here's PJ (Pollock Junior) at 13 weeks. Hopefully we can find out the sex in about 6 weeks!

So much stuff!
Tis the season of receiving it seems!
Look at all the cool stuff we've acquired over the last couple of days! And yes, that's Smudge at the top of the pic being nosey!
Shona knitted me the awesome beanie - the colours are gorgeous! (see pic below for me modelling it) Then we have 3 books that Briana, our neighbour who's due to have a baby in 7 weeks doesn't need/has duplicates of, gave us on Sunday, then Fiona sent us our first baby clothes!! 100% Australian cotton - mmmmmm :) The green shirt with "No instructions or warranties" on the front has a big WARNING across the back. And the Little Buddha shirt is so cute!!! Then Chris (Briana's husband), brought us around the cookies tonight that Brianna just freshly baked (they're still warm, and the choc chips are all melty and yummy) to say thanks for Andrew helping them destroy a couch that was stuck in their stair case :)
So between Briana and Christina (another wonderful neighbour with a 6 month boy), I've acquired a bunch of baby books! Louise lent me the Kaz Cooke one, and I bought the "What to expect when you're expecting" one. This is all of them so far. I've read a little of each I think - I need time to finish them! I've also got a couple of magazines people have given me, and I think there's another book lying around somewhere...
People are so awesome :)
And here's my modelling my funky beanie!

Well aren't I just an idiot?
I've noticed that I haven't had many new posts in my Google Reader for a while when I used to get heaps every day, and haven't really thought much more of it. A while ago I told Shona that she should really update her blog and she said she had been. I realised the blogspot feed had changed, so changed hers, but for some stupid reason didn't think to change anyone elses.
So I was just wondering this morning what's happened to everyone and manually went searching for blogs, and discovered so many new posts!!!!! I had a look at the blogspot feeds and sure enough, they're all the old feed addresses. Such a pain that they changed them!! Looks as though it changed around January 25 and I haven't had any new posts for about 20 people since then...
So if anyone's wondering why I haven't commented on their blog for a while, it's because I'm an idiot :)
My job for tonight (after I finish my assignment...) is to fix all of the blogs in my reader.

I'm a low-maintenance-type gardener, so you can bet I don't do a lot of unnecessary fussing in the garden. Here's my bare-minimum list of garden chores I'm taking care of this month – the same list I send to my garden-coaching clients.
Ornamental Plants
- Doing renewal pruning of all my full-grown viburnums – both the doublefile (V. plicatum) and snowball (V. macrocephalem) types. By that I mean removing completely (to as close to the ground as possible) one-third of the stems, targeting the older ones for removal. This will keep the shape natural, while preventing the unsightly drooping that results when the snowball especially gets top-heavy.
- Weeding almost every day, though when temps are in the 90s I stop working at, oh, 8:00 a.m. My top priority is digging out the vines. Note – DIGGING THEM OUT, not just yanking the part that's yankable.
- Watering plants in pots every single day, and almost that often for newly planted or transplanted perennials and shrubs in the garden. For more about watering, see how-to-water basics from last year.
- Cutting back Spiderwort (Tradescantia) and Salvia to remove the dead flowers and encourage rebloom.
- Applying deer spray to a few choice roses and conifers every other week, alternating between Liquid Fence and Deer Stopper (which smells much better) and so far, so good.
- Removing the ratty daffodil foliage, by simply tugging. That's when you know they're okay to remove it – when they're almost done for, anyway.
- Cutting back spireas, to varying degrees. One bridal wreath-type had become a bit too large for its site, so I cut it waaaay back. Hopefully it'll rebloom, but I honestly don't know. Other spireas that aren't too large, I sheer off all the spent flowers, again for the purpose of seeing them rebloom while reducing their size by just a few inches.
Vegetable Garden
My tiny vegetable garden is all in 10 pots on my sunny deck, and this year my summer crops are: three cherry tomatoes, two eggplants, one squash (all purchased as "starts"), and a bunch of herbs. I've already installed the vegetable cages, so what's left to do is water daily, weed as needed, and feed every three weeks with Tomato-tone.

SENDAI--Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu returned as the conquering hero to his hometown on April 20, striking a pose in front of a monument celebrating his gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics, which figures to be a major draw for fans.
"I am hoping that the monument will spark an influx of tourists to Sendai," Hanyu, 24, said at an unveiling ceremony in the city's Aoba Ward on April 20.
The piece is to be installed at the International Center Station of the subway on April 29.
The station is already home to two other monuments--one marking Hanyu winning gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the other celebrating Shizuka Arakawa's gold at the 2006 Torino Olympics. Arakawa spent much of her younger days growing up in Sendai.
Hanyu's new monument features him posing at the beginning of his free program at last year's Games titled "Seimei" with his right hand positioned before his face and left hand raised overhead with the palm up.
"(The pose) represents power governing heaven, earth and people," he explained to the audience gathered for the event. "I was skating with confidence at the time."
Hanyu also said he wanted people to compare his two depictions.
"My facial expressions and poses are different in the monuments," he said. "I would like people to pay attention to those details."
Hanyu noted that Sendai is still rebuilding eight years after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami ravaged the city and elsewhere in the Tohoku region.
"I am determined to do as much as I can to help the city," he said.
A 68-year-old woman from the city's Izumi Ward who attended the event said she was touched by Hanyu's words.
"I was moved to the point of tears after listening to his unwavering commitment to the rebuilding efforts," she said.

For abundant of the 20th century, the Cadillac-versus-Lincoln affair mattered. It had acceptation able-bodied above annual balance and the automotive industry. For many, it was about civic pride.
Today, cipher absolutely cares. For too long, that animosity has been a action for aftermost place. It's like the Bengals–Browns game; there are a few die-hards still sitting in the stands, but America has acquainted out.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop the clock. One attending central the 2018 Navigator's assiduously overhauled interior—particularly that of our ne additional ultra Black Label example—shows that this is not brand engineering business as usual; Lincoln appears to be aggravating like it cares again. And Cadillac knows it, abnegation to accomplish an Escalade accessible for a allegory test.
The Navigator is not aloof the largest, best opulent, and best able Lincoln ever; it delivers what an American affluence agent should in this day and age, in the bazaar articulation breadth affluence buyers accept gathered. And Lincoln accuse for the privilege. With alone a few options, including a rear-seat ball system, our Navigator L Black Label 4×4 analysis agent amount $101,765.
Shaped with restraint, the Navigator's curve are apple-pie and its exoteric chrome $.25 are alluringly applied, starting with the recessed grille that's ample but proportional to the vehicle. The grille's architecture is accustomed from Lincoln's MKZ and Continental, as is its grate, which appearance a acclimation of Lincoln's brilliant logo—itself an acclimation of the adumbration acclimated on the Continental Mark II in the mid-1950s. The beyond brilliant in the grille's centermost lights up, which is a little over the top and acquired of Mercedes-Benz, but it's a acceptable attempt of pizazz.
The Lincoln's accumbent taillights add beheld width. Unfortunately, its bankrupt is hidden from appearance beneath the rear bonanza on the commuter side, aloof as it is on the Ford Expedition. This may be a architecture best or a cost-cutting measure. Either way, it's an befalling for the aftermarket: This affair begs for a brace of ample chrome bankrupt pipes.
At 221.9 inches long, the Navigator L is still a few inches beneath than the Escalade ESV, but esplanade it aing to a Mercedes GLS or a Land Rover Range Rover and it dwarfs the Europeans. Its long, bland flanks actor the attending of the Navigator abstraction that blanket the 2016 New York auto show. The concept's chaste badging, blacked-out pillars, and turbine-style auto additionally fabricated the cut, although its massive gullwing doors, which wowed appearance goers and accent the concept's absorbing interior, did not.
Much of the Navigator has been plucked from the genitalia bin. Ample chunks of its aluminum body, which Lincoln claims saves some 200 pounds over the 2017 model, are taken from the Expedition. On our scales, though, the aberration amid our Black Label tester and a 2016 Navigator L 4×4 amounted to aloof 31 pounds. The advanced of the animate ladder anatomy is agnate to that of the Expedition and F-150 pickup. The rear of the anatomy and the architecture of the Navigator's absolute multilink rear abeyance are aggregate with the former, and they're about banausic from aftermost year's model. Cadillac's Escalade still uses a solid rear axle, aloof like a 1967 Chevy C10.
Under the 'Gator's awning is the Ford F-150 Raptor's twin-turbocharged DOHC 3.5-liter V-6 and 10-speed automated transmission. As in the pickup, this agent makes 450 application at 5000 rpm and 510 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm, which shades the achievement of the Caddy's 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8.
With EPA ratings of 16 mpg burghal and 21 mpg highway, the Lincoln is additionally added ammunition able than before. Making advanced use of its nonintrusive stop/start system, we averaged 15 mpg during two weeks of alloyed active about Los Angeles.
The V-6 is bland and aesthetic and fires with a balmy rasp. A able bottom-end bite and a 5900-rpm redline accomplish it a absolute bout for the 10-speed automatic, a assemblage engineered and congenital in a Ford/GM partnership. Its programming is atom on in the Navigator. Part-throttle gearchanges are bound and snappy, and the chiral consistently seems to be in the appropriate accessory at the appropriate time.
We adopt Caddy's V-8 rumble, but the Lincoln's V-6 has a pleasing, abysmal burble. And you can apprehend it central the cabin, but alone because Lincoln pipes it in through the speakers.
There's added chrome central the Navigator than out and added perforated covering than we've anytime apparent in one place. The amateur and pillars are covered in yards and yards of faux suede, and the huge advanced and rear consoles present an acclimation of wood, piano-black trim, brightwork, and bent knobs. Alike the dash-mounted push-on shifter is akin with chrome, as are the parking-brake and engine-start ons. And this is not a case of artlessly layering bigger abstracts on top of Expedition bits; the Navigator's autogenous is impressively differentiated from the Ford's, with an absolutely altered birr and center-console design, accessory selector, and alike Lincoln-specific turn-signal and wiper stalks.
The gauges and infotainment acclimation are Navigator specific, too; a configurable 12.0-inch awning displays the affected instrumentation, and a 10.0-inch touchscreen aloft the dashboard handles the infotainment and aeronautics duties. The appearance account seems amaranthine and yet par for the segment, from rear audio controls and onboard Wi-Fi to a 360-degree camera setup. There are additionally illuminated, power-operating active boards; a acrimonious council wheel; power-folding additional and third rows; and a gargantuan across-the-board sunroof. Our truck's alternative Absolute Position Seating amalgamation offered 30-way adjustment, three calefaction settings, three blast settings, and beating for the advanced seats. The second-row captain's chairs are not absolutely as abundant as the fronts, but they're heated, they recline, and they accelerate advanced calmly to accommodate admission to the ample third-row bank that can bank three. There are additionally air-conditioning vents throughout the amateur and ons in the burden breadth that bead the additional and third rows collapsed for best burden capacity.
That said, Lincoln could assignment on simplifying things a little. A few too abounding appearance and ambience options are active in a sea of airheaded amid the truck's two screens.
At 6330 pounds, the 'Gator shouldn't be quick, but it is. Half burke leaves cartage for asleep and handles best artery passes easily, as the chiral is quick to accord you a few downshifts and a access of power. Abounding burke accouterment the amount aback and unweights the advanced suspension, adopting the truck's big bill in the air like a '60s beef car. Upshifts are firmer now and appropriate on redline as the carefully spaced apparatus bang off bound and the full-size SUV pushes accomplished 100 mph with little effort.
At the analysis track, the Navigator produced drama-free launches and a zero-to-60-mph time of aloof 5.5 seconds. That's a abounding additional quicker than its antecedent and 0.3 additional quicker than the aftermost Escalade we tested, in 2016, a lighter standard-length barter able with an eight-speed automatic. Cadillac has back upgraded its SUV with the aforementioned 10-speed begin in the Navigator, which will no agnosticism advice its barrage times and its fuel-economy numbers, too. The Lincoln's quarter-mile run of 14.2 abnormal at 98 mph isn't AMG quick but is affluence agile for a agent continuing taller than six anxiety and belief added than three tons.
The Navigator's ride is compromised by the Black Label's accepted 22-inch rollers. It isn't uncomfortable, per se, but it's busier than it should be, with too abundant alley advance into the seat, pedals, and council wheel. Considering the Lincoln's 131.6-inch wheelbase, we accepted the Navigator to coast calmly over the road, but it doesn't. It can't advice that, with the Black Label's 22-inchers, anniversary bend of the barter carries 93 pounds' account of caster and tire. The Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GLS, as able-bodied as affluence sedans such as the Porsche Panamera and Mercedes S-class, do a bigger job of isolating you from the pavement's nooks and crannies.
Body motions are able-bodied controlled, but ample impacts acknowledge the Navigator's truck-based roots. The SUV additionally suffers from casual cab convulsion and decidedly aural groans from its burden breadth as its anatomy flexes.
In Normal mode, the Lincoln's council is asleep on-center, but it tightens up if you about-face over to Excite, which retunes the chiral for added advancing gearholding and stiffens the dampers. There's additionally a Conserve approach to advice access ammunition efficiency, and there are settings to acclimatize the all-wheel-drive acclimation for glace surfaces and abysmal snow. Anniversary is accepted with an busy clear that briefly takes over the SUV's ample chart screen.
Despite its name, Excite approach does not about-face the Navigator into a Porsche 911. On arced sections of California State Route 74 south of Palm Springs, it accepted assured and capable, but a affable podcast is added exciting. So the Navigator may not be fun to bung around, but advance it in the corners and it does adhere in there, alike at an enthusiast's pace. The guy in the E-class couldn't accept we were alert to his tail.
The 20.5:1 council arrangement should be quicker to accord this barge added able-bodied response, but there are some elements of sportiness here: The chiral does bout revs back you ask for a downshift with the paddle shifter, and the Navigator turns in able-bodied and takes a absolute set. Reach the banned of its Hankook Dynapro HT tires, though, and it understeers agilely to acquaint you abroad from added speed. By again you've absurd its brakes anyway, which are board and baker bound beneath the Navigator's bulk. The abate Mercedes GLS can't tow 8100 pounds like the Lincoln, but it's a far added agreeable drive for about the aforementioned money.
Although the 2018 Navigator isn't absolutely our jam, there's no agnosticism it redefines the top of the American-full-size-SUV game. The assemblage amenable for the Escalade bigger band on the pads and applique up their cleats acceptable and tight, because this animosity is about to balance the field. And for the aboriginal time in a generation, maybe two, bodies will be affability in.

- Randi Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media and The New York Times bestselling author
- Robert Paul, president of DeVry University
- Sara Ley, digital learning and technology leader at General Electric (GE)
- Only 11 percent of organizations believe higher education is very effective in meeting the skill needs of their organization
- More than half (57 percent) agree it is common for job applicants to lack skills in technology that are important for success
"Traditionally, degree programs with a focus on technology tended to have a hard tech skill slant needed within a particular industry," said Robert Paul, president of DeVry University. "We know that it's imperative to broaden our approach, which is why DeVry embeds applied technology at the core of our curriculum, so our students can understand how to leverage technology, connecting people, process, data and devices to solve real-world business problems.""It's vital for students to learn the skills needed to succeed in the always-evolving tech industry," said Randi Zuckerberg, CEO of Zuckerberg Media and advocate for tech education at an early age. "In order to achieve this, educators and employers must come together and start a dialogue on how to make an impact and create curriculums that translate to the technology skills required in today's workforce." One such example was discussed by GE's Sara Ley. In order to upskill its current workforce, GE partners with educators, like DeVry University, to provide training and degree opportunities to meet the skill needs of its business as part of GE's "BrilliantYOU" educational offering. On the educator side, DeVry develops and updates its degree programs and boot camps with input from industry leaders to help prepare students upon graduation. Solutions to Closing the Tech Skills Gap In addition to better collaboration between employers and educators, the panel also explored solutions to help close the tech skills gap:
- Dedicated industry advisory boards for educators - educators and industry advisors should create consistent touch points, digging into the curriculum and understanding what updates need to be reflected to meet today's business demands.
- Evolving toward a vision of "anytime, anywhere" education for students - educators and employers should converge onsite and online learning opportunities, to both provide convenience and flexibility for today's student, but also model how technology is used in business. DeVry, for example, developed connected-classroom technology in partnership with Cisco, at campuses across the country. The extended classrooms allow students to take part in active learning sessions and interact, in real time, with one professor while at different campus locations - an experience that mirrors the way employees interact in today's workplace.
- Provide students and employees access to the latest technologies - one of the most effective ways to learn is through experience. Students and employees should have access to some of the latest technologies, simply for the purpose of experimentation, ideation and learning. The more you engage, the more comfortable you are with the medium.

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — Thousands of people marched in Macedonia's capital Sunday to promote support for changing the country's name in an upcoming referendum that also could clear the way for NATO membership.
The referendum scheduled for Sept 30 will seek voter approval of an agreement with Greece to rename the small Balkan nation "North Macedonia."
The deal is designed to end a bitter 27-year dispute over rights to the Macedonia title and to remove Greek objections to its northern neighbor becoming a member of NATO and the European Union.
Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, who reached the agreement with Greece's prime minister in June, addressed the marchers in front of the EU's office in Skopje. He urged citizens to grasp a historic opportunity and back the name deal, which he described as "fair."

"The message is: We want the future, we want a European Macedonia! It is our responsibility to secure a future for our children and their children," Zaev said.
Opposition party VMRO-DPMNE staged its own rally Sunday in the eastern town of Stip to encourage voters to reject the name change.
Opposition leader Hristijan Mickoski, who has criticized the government for accepting a deal that in his view prioritizes Greek interests, said, "Citizens have the right to fight until the last breath".
Despite the forceful words, VMRO-DPMNE and the rest of Macedonia's political opposition have advised supporters to vote according to their consciences.
Voter turnout will be a crucial factor in the referendum: 50 percent plus one of Macedonia's 1.8 million registered voters must cast ballots for the referendum vote to be valid.
Opinion polls indicate the name change would be approved, but turnout could fall just short of the required threshold.

The Reserve Bank seems intent on cutting its cash rate again, although economists have been left guessing when that might happen.
Economists reckon the central bank will be disappointed its February rate cut hasn't had a lasting impact on consumer confidence, raising question marks about how far it will go to lift economic growth.
The minutes of the bank's board meeting earlier in March - where it left the cash rate at an all-time low of 2.25 per cent - saw benefit in waiting to see the impact of the previous rate cut while providing time to consider more data.
There is also a greater degree of uncertainty about the behaviour of borrowers and savers in a world of very low interest rates.
"Members judged it appropriate to hold the cash rate steady for the time being, while recognising that further easing over the period ahead may be appropriate," the minutes say.
Commonwealth Securities chief economist Craig James is one who believes the RBA will be disappointed the February rate cut has come and gone and consumer sentiment is weaker, not stronger.
The latest ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence gauge did rise 0.5 per cent in the past week but was still lower than six months ago.
"The Reserve Bank will continue to think long and hard about the benefits of continuing to cut interest rates with no real expectation that it will kick-start growth," Mr James said.
It seems clear the central bank won't be getting much help from the federal government's second budget either.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott told his coalition colleagues on Tuesday he expects to deliver a balanced budget in five years.
It's a timetable that coincides with the recently-released intergenerational report, although that was premised on all of the government's outstanding budget policies from 2014 being passed by the Senate.
Deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop says Australia's changing demographic will put pressure on future budgets.
"Unless we set our budget in the right direction, then the pressure will continue to grow on future generations," she said.
Treasurer Joe Hockey says the budget already has been a shock absorber to a historical decline in national income.
He is not inclined to have a fiscal stimulus at the same time the Reserve Bank is applying a significant monetary stimulus with interest rates.
The RBA is on its own.

Should consumers be trusted with their private key?
Ask this question to anyone worth their salt in the bitcoin world and you're likely to get a stern talking to if not worse. It flies in the face of everything that bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain in general stand for; a decentralized world where the consumer is in total control of their data. No more centralized servers just waiting to be hacked and spewing forth sensitive information.
The concept is a noble cause and in a time of facebook scandals, social security data breaches and stolen credit cards it's an ideal we should be striving for. But can the scales tip too far in favor of security?
"Can the scales tip too far in favor of security"
At the heart of blockchain is the use of public-key cryptography and the two are inexorably intertwined. I'm not going to cover how public-key cryptography works or go into great detail on how its used in the blockchain but you can find out more about that here. In short, your private key is the most important piece of information you have as without it you can no longer access your account or the funds in it. What's more, for all intents and purposes, it is practically impossible to guess it, derive it, or somehow crack it to regain access without the key. Ironically, this level of security is also a security weakness because if anyone gets access to your key…. well, now your account belongs to them.
"if anyone gets access to your key…. well, now your account belongs to them"
There are various techniques to make this more secure like using "multi-sig" wallets that require 2 or more private keys to be used to execute any important change and while these techniques reduce the risk that someone might make off with your funds if they happen upon your key, it does less to resolve the issue of losing access to your own account.
The usual approach by the large majority of platforms is upon account creation, to generate the private key for the user and then ask the user to save a 12 word mnemonic which can be later used to regenerate the same private key if lost. I'll admit that this is a little more friendly than asking the user to write down a long string of hexadecimal characters but we're really just putting a band-aid over the underlying problem. Just one letter of one word left out or misspelled or a year later when the user forgets where they wrote down or saved the mnemonic means irreversible lock-out.
And we're back to the question in the title of this article: Should consumers be trusted with their private keys?
When we look at the question from a security and information privacy perspective the answer is most likely going to be yes. By having the user own and be responsible for their own key there is zero chance that a system level hack can result in the breach of sensitive information of thousands of users. There is zero chance that the service provider, who you have your account with, can access or use your sensitive data in misguided ways. However, when we look at this question from a product development or a user experience standpoint the answer is not quite as clear.
Imagine for a second that you're a loyal customer of Chase bank. Your paycheck gets deposited into your account, you've got your savings there for an upcoming family vacation and of course all of your credit cards for your day to day spending. You recently had a prompt that asked you to update your password and so you did. You even saved the new password in your password manager….or at least you thought you did. You go to log into your online account — 'Incorrect username or password'. You check your password manager only to realize that you never hit save and it still has your old password. Unfortunately there's no link for forgotten passwords so you call up Chase and tell customer support that you forgot your password and need to reset it to get access to your account again.
The customer support agent calmly proceeds to tell you that unfortunately without your password you won't be able to access your account and surprisingly there's no way they can access it either. And just like that, it's gone: the paychecks, the family holiday, your credit cards. I certainly wouldn't settle for this, would you?
Now this might sound a little far fetched but the fact is users will forget things, users' won't always follow instructions carefully, and it's almost certain that they're going to come to you for help. And when they find out that you can't help them to get their money back…well let's just say I don't envy you. I worry that type of situation may be a ticking time bomb just waiting to happen. Perhaps we're still early enough that most of the users are sufficiently technically savvy to understand fully the risks of losing your private key but as more and more people get introduced to blockchain based assets this problem is just going to grow.
So when we think about security it's important to take a step back and question how much security do we really need. You could install metal detectors at each entrance of your home and 6 different locks with retinal scans and thumb print id to access your front door because these things would make your home more secure but of course you don't because clearly it isn't practical.
It's important to take a step back and question how much security do we really need.
Would we be willing to sacrifice a little security for a better experience? How much security should we sacrifice? Can we actually measure the added risk that we're introducing?
I'm happy to see that some platforms are already starting to take steps in this direction. The StellarX decentralized exchange has a fairly elegant way of handling private keys because they have the unique use case of needing to execute actions on behalf of the users' accounts. The approach used allows the service to work across any device without any action required by the user (this might sound like a given because in fact it is for almost every cloud based service we use today, except sadly it's not for the majority of blockchain Apps and dApps). StellarX allows the user to choose how much security they want and the decision is made clear that there is a trade off between convenience and security. The important point here is that the decision is left to the user. The default setting caters to the mainstream user, allowing more advanced users to increase their level of security if they wish. Even with the base level security, StellarX has ensured that the chance of anyone gaining access to a user's account through a data breach of their server is incredibly small. If they did somehow gain access to one account they don't immediately have access to all accounts. However, even with StellarX, and their multiple layers of security levels, at the base level it's still left up to the user to be solely responsible for their private key. While it is still possible to reset your account password, without the 12 word mnemonic the user will never be able to gain access to their funds.
Clearly the right answer to the question of whether the consumer should be trusted with their private keys is: 'It depends'. If the private key is protecting an account holding the customer's personal funds, well then we should really assess whether the risk of loss of funds through a system level hack is greater than the risk of loss of funds through user error. On the other hand, if the private key is protecting personal information such as social security number that is otherwise known to the user, then perhaps the damage of losing access to the information is less than the damage from a public breach of that information.
Please don't make the same mistake of GDPR and put your blinders on to the downstream ramifications of trying to solve one individual aspect of the problem without looking at the greater picture. Blockchain can be a revolution but it doesn't need to come at the cost of customer experience.
"Blockchain can be a revolution but it doesn't need to come at the cost of customer experience."

Irving crucial of Celtics' implosion, D on Walker
Kyrie Irving appeared to query Brad Stevens' teaching technique after Kemba Walker scored 18 of his game-high 36 factors within the fourth quarter to rally Charlotte to a 124-117 victory over the Celtics.
The Hornets closed Saturday evening's dwelling sport on a 30-5 run that included all 18 of Walker's fourth-quarter factors. The Hornets trailed 112-94 with eight minutes, 22 seconds remaining.
Requested afterward how laborious it's to cease Walker when he is enjoying so effectively, Irving mentioned, "It is one-on-one, pleasure."
"Down the stretch, attempt to are available and assist as a lot as doable. We must always have most likely trapped him slightly bit extra, like each crew does within the league," Irving mentioned. "However we did not. Torches us each time we play him. So it is no shock."
Kyrie Irving mentioned "it is no shock" the Celtics allowed Hornets guard Kemba Walker to go off within the fourth quarter. "Torches us each time we play him," Irving mentioned. Jeremy Brevard/USA TODAY Sports activities
Walker had scored 43, 21 and 21 factors towards the Celtics in three earlier conferences this season.

Civil showdown can be defined as a good war of which originates just a nation or state one of the citizens over certain matters such as belief amid the main citizens, stressing change in government rules and regulations in addition to claiming independent regions within others1. With reference to the background ? backdrop ? setting, The United states Civil Warfare was brought about due to very few definite troubles related to privileges, inequality as well as slavery and the like. The Us Civil Fight has been regarded as in this argument so as to test tje meaning of your civil world war. Furthermore, the topic will also express the reasons that the Us Civil War broke over.
The main American Civilizado War initiated in 1861 and continued till 1865. The Sencillo War was learnt to happen between West & Asia. The major cause of American Empresse War were identified to be the prevailing socio-economic divergences which will existed somewhere between North & South America, 'states versus government rights', the very clash or simply disagreement around slave and also non-slave express supporters, increase, escalation, growth, amplification, rise of the Silencing Movement plus the appointment Involving Abraham Lincoln2.customeessay.com/ Furthermore, the major three results in behind often the initiation from the Civil Showdown were the present economic plus social disparities between To the north & South usa which was acknowledged as being in the form of upon tax costs which frequently varied in between both the on a. State and federal liberties was said to be the other element which bought rise to the American Municipal War when the Southern Area of Usa desired to get entitled just for increased status rights instead of the rights in terms of the federal government this was further disagreed and dissmissed off by the United States (US) law or administration. The most important component amongst the some factor which often led to typically the Civil Fight was the difficulty of 'fights and fights between servant and non-slave proponents' which in turn arose concerning North & South America seeing that North America vehemently opposed the actual practice regarding labor whereas, South America protected such work and slave practices3.
With the review of the American Municipal War, it previously was deciphered which amid the three chief good reasons, the issue or perhaps concern connected with slavery appeared to be measured to be the key rationale which persuaded the City War. A history of America states this prior to 1775, slavery method was thought to be a legal process. However , following on from the American Wave of 1775-1783, slavery possibly the labor strategies were contemplated an illegal measure under the (US) legislations. Furthermore, it had been also observed in this circumstance that after the particular American Innovation, northern as well as the political governance prohibited or perhaps restricted the practice as well as system of job and captivity within the state. However , the exact establishment for cotton sector during the 1800s increased the demands and strategies of labour and captivity further which will even lengthened to South west. This rising demand for slave and labor made certain countries in order to import and also export job internationally this was considered from the US regulation as an outlawed practice around 1807. What is more, this exercise was maintained South America and as well desired to spread out such apply to different additional territories. In addition, certain online communities from N . Region connected with America and the anti-slavery team stated the main practice to get 'sinful' together with unfavorable the 'Rights connected with Free Men'4.
The two distinct views with regard to and in opposition to practicing hard work and captivity stated earlier mentioned originated within United States. For that reason, certain combats took place in the groups nevertheless; federal government began various actions to solve the matter which hit a brick wall. Furthermore, this specific conflict caused the City War which in turn took place concerning North & South America coming from 1861 for you to 1865. The main four twelve months long conflict conversely concluded in reaching a good conclusion which signified 'The End about Slavery'4
What is more, Abraham Lincoln subsequently also held the anti-labor groups so as to discontinue the very labor in addition to slave tactics. For the reason associated with preventing along with saving the main labors in addition to slaves, Abraham Lincoln introduced private troops whose main function would protect the labors. In addition , Abraham Lincoln considered slavery as one of the most important issue which in turn gave go up to the Civil War inside between South & Southern area regions4.
The North american Civil Fight was self taught themselves to come within action because of certain disputes which subsisted between Northern & South America and in connection with grave difficulties such as inequality in market and public factors, slavery practices, say and govt issues, electing Abraham Lincoln subsequently as president and growth of Abolition Movements. The three critical reasons happen to be unfair fees, state protection under the law and captivity. However , quite possibly the most imperative cause of the grow of the U . s citizens Civil Showdown was the slavery problem and the war lost with banning the cooperate and slavery practices.

How fashionable has the kick-off of the Golden Globe season become? – So fresh that the red carpet was actually black, this year. The super chic showed how neutral colors could capture the headlines, taking the staple black and white, and portraying it in a very 2016 way. Patterns, uneven hemlines and texture made these actresses winners in the fashion stakes.
Jess Weixler was dramatic in an asymmetrical cream dress with swarms of swallows as a detail – she was a vision in this Diane von Fürstenberg – like a walking cloud.

The Grey's Anatomy star elongated her look by coiffing her hair in an elegant bun – the pumps by Leslie adding additional height.
Greer Grammer (Miss Golden Globe 2015) is in one of the few true minis on the carpet, the asymmetrical hem brought subtle attention to the stretch of leg, like an arrow saying, 'look here'. The nude pumps making her leg look even longer.
Laura Prepon's Orange is the New Black, took ownership of the carpet in this sweeping Carmen Marc Valvo gown with train. The statuesque star wore LK Bennett shoes, a ring by Ambyr Childers and earrings by Bea Millen.

Jane Wu the Captain America: Civil War actress was quietly groomed with side swept hair and 5th Avenue appeal in this dress by Kooples. Note her shoes – Manolo Blahnik – a total work of art.
Katherine Hughes – Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, kept it simple with a tassel detail on the hem and texture on the torso, Leon Max playing up the feminine shape slyly.

Meticulously researched using contemporary newspaper reports, court records, published memoirs, private letters and diaries, Michael Wilding tells the story of three troubled geniuses of Australian writing.
The study spreads out to cover the early and later years of the three writers and in doing so, as its centrepiece, recreates literary and Bohemian life in Melbourne in the 1860s. It is aptly subtitled 'A documentary', since it shares many of the characteristics of that genre.

Lucky for him, this "Lord of the Rings" superfan is a civil engineer who works in construction, so when he had the urge to build his very own hobbit house in the Dutchess County town of Pawling, it wasn't just a pipe dream. After spending more than six years constructing the residence, and even building it to Passive House standards, Jim Castigan has put the home on the market for $795,000, according to Gothamist. In addition to being built right into a hillside, the home shares other details with its Tolkien inspiration BagEnd, such as faux circular door and geometric patterns etched into the interior concrete.

Moby lists Westchester midcentury stunner for $1.3M with a promise to donate proceeds, Thu, July 26, 2018
Not only is Moby a singer/songwriter, DJ, photographer, vegan restauranteur, and animal rights activist, but he also has an eye for unique real estate. He formerly owned a whimsical replica castle in LA, and in March he dropped $1.24 million on a midcentury-modern stunner in Pound Ridge to be near his childhood home in Darien, Connecticut. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright-disciple David Henken in 1956, the Westchester home has jaw-dropping mahogany interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the woods and a quaint garden, and a swimming pool. But after realizing that he's still spending most of his time on the west coast, he re-listed the property for $1.3 million, according to Curbed. And in true Moby fashion, he took to Instagram to say that he'll be donating proceeds from the sale to animal rights causes and progressive political candidates.

Young professionals in Yonkers: How the city's redevelopment plan targets millennials, Thu, June 28, 2018
Photo via Dennis Fraevich's Flickr
Located on the Hudson River adjacent to New York City's northern border, Yonkers is the third-largest city in the state with nearly 200,000 residents. And with five major highways, two commuter train lines that are just a 28-minute trip to Grand Central, and the highest number of bus lines in Westchester County, it's no surprise that many are going bonkers for Yonkers.
Phillip Gesue, chief officer of development at Strategic Capital, the developer of the Hudson Park residential project, told 6sqft that Yonkers is in transition. "Unlike Manhattan, which is, perhaps, over-baked, Yonkers is an affordable place to live and play," Gesue said. "It has people who have been living here a long time and new transplants who largely want to work in New York City. There is a growing population, development momentum and job growth." Ahead, find out how officials are working to attract millennials, get a breakdown of all Yonkers' new developments, and learn why there's a lot more to do here than you might think.

Derek Jeter lists lakefront 'castle' with four kitchens and a Statue of Liberty replica for $15M, Wed, June 27, 2018
While owning a waterfront castle might seem presumptuous even for the former Yankee captain and current Miami Marlins owner, this 50,000-square-foot upstate compound on four acres at 14 Lake Shore Road in Greenwood Lake, NY, was more than just a random luxury buy. Tiedemann Castle, as it is known, has a family history for Jeter: According to the New York Post, his grandfather Sonny Connors, adopted son of John and Julia Tiedemann, who purchased it in 1952, was raised on the property. Jeter bought the estate 15 years ago for $425,000, so even after being "lovingly restored, with unparalleled attention to detail," the current $14.75 million price tag is a hefty hike.
