LOS ANGELES (Dec. 17, 2013) Atrial fibrillation, long considered the most common condition leading to an irregular heartbeat, is a growing and serious global health problem, according to the first study ever to estimate the condition's worldwide prevalence, death rates and societal costs.
The World Health Organization data analysis, led by Sumeet Chugh, MD, associate director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, shows that 33.5 million people worldwide or .5% of the world's population have the condition. Funded partly by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, the analysis was conducted with the assistance of the University of Washington's highly respected Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, which seeks to identify the world's major health problems so society can best allocate medical resources and funding.
Atrial fibrillation occurs when electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart, called the atria, become chaotic and cause an irregular heartbeat. The irregular heartbeat can result in heart palpitations along with a variety of symptoms such as fatigue. When the heart isn't pumping blood effectively, blood can stagnate and clot. If the clots break apart and travel to the brain, they can cause a stroke.
The study, believed to be the first to determine the number of people globally with atrial fibrillation, is published online in the peer reviewed medical journal Circulation and is scheduled to be published in the Feb. 25 print edition of the journal.
"Atrial fibrillation has a huge cost in every sense of the word," Chugh said. "It can lead to stroke, hospitalization, as well as lost productivity. Our findings indicate that atrial fibrillation is on the rise around the world and it's a huge public health burden."
During the analysis, Chugh and a team of researchers systematically analyzed data from selected population-based research studies, from

Twisted Hunt # 14 Fall 2015!
About our theme this time:
A silent Shen floats above her mountain, a flowing shroud of silk obscuring her face, leaving only a pair of blazing eyes visible, conjures a shimmering light. She is Zhu Que, the Red Phoenix, Goddess of the South Wind. She has conjured a small part of her Qi, her energy, her life force. It's bright as the sun, but only a brilliant pinpoint on her palm, a peek inside her soul. Her Qi is Yin; dark, mysterious, water, death, female. Her Qi is Yang; bright, The sun, hot, male. Together, the Yin and the Yang, the black and white, the dark and bright, contain the magic of all living things. Life, soul, and spirit. She spots her cohorts...
Bai Hu, the White Tiger of the West Wind, the Shen of Metal, prowls on padded feet, hunting on the Celestial Plane. He approaches the North, the Black Turtle, Xuan Wu - a dark and cold beast. Above them, Qing Long, the Azure dragon of the East Wind whips through the sky, a storm of clouds boil in her wake. Her Qi leaves a glittering streak across the Celestial Heavens.
And just in case you didn't already guess it, yes, it's black and white, with a twist, because we're twisted that way! So for those who requested black cubes, neutral color cubes, or who are still nursing eye strain injuries from our partially invisble cubes last hunt, we hope you enjoy!

1. Re: How to resolve the Programmatic PPR with the another trigger?Frank Nimphius-Oracle Feb 27, 2012 7:00 AM (in response to 494427)Hi,
you will have to PPT ot2 as well. PPR is only issued by declarative settings if the value change is applied by the user in the front end (which for output text fields doesn't work anyway)
UIComponent ot1 = findComponentInRoot("ot1");
UIComponent ot2 = ot1.findComponent("ot2");

Cold War Revisited: Red Baiting Used to Belittle Gay Marriage
In what seems like a desperate attempt to strike down gay marriage, the ultra-conservative website, LifeSiteNews, recently reported that a communist group in Australia announced its support for same-sex marriage and suggested that the issue is a major part of the small party's agenda.
The Communist Party of Australia, in an article in its official newspaper, the Guardian, noted that members of the group support marriage equality.
"The recent release of census data shows that over 1,338 Australian same-sex couples, nearly 2,700 Australians, have travelled overseas to marry," according to the article. "Such are the bald figures. So why are the state and the church against same-sex couples being married?"
LifeSiteNews, however, points out that the group is attacking traditional marriage because of the organization's belief that marriage "arose out of private ownership." The website then sites a column by Dr. Paul Kengor, of Grove City College, who says, "The root of the [Communists' support for redefining marriage], once again, is the Marxist/communist assault on marriage." Kengor added, "The communist priority is not gay rights but a continued assault on the family."
Currently, Australia does not recognize marriage equality but each state and territory legally recognizes both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships as "de facto" couples. A "de facto" ("from the fact" in Latin) is similar to a domestic partner in the United States.

|William Notman
A self-portrait of William Notman, c. 1866–1867
|William Notman
8 March 1826
Paisley, Scotland
|25 November 1891(aged 65)
|photographer, businessman
William Notman (8 March 1826 – 25 November 1891) was a Scottish-Canadian photographer and businessman. The Notman House in Montreal was his home from 1876 until his death in 1891 and has since been named after him.
Notman was born in Paisley, Scotland, in 1826, and moved to Montreal in 1856.[1] An amateur photographer, he quickly established a flourishing professional photography studio on Bleury Street. His first important commission was the documentation of the construction of the Victoria Bridge across the St. Lawrence River.[1] The Bridge opened with great fanfare in 1860, attended by the Prince of Wales and Notman's camera. The gift to the Prince of a Maple Box containing Notman's photographs of the construction of the bridge and scenes of Canada East and Canada West so pleased Queen Victoria that, according to family tradition, she named him "Photographer to the Queen."[1][2]
Notman's reputation and business grew over the next three decades, the first Canadian photographer with an international reputation, and he operated his business as a partnership with other noted Canadian artists, initially John Arthur Fraser and then Henry Sandham, whom he also mentored. He established branches throughout Canada and the United States, including seasonal branches at Yale and Harvard universities to cater to the student trade. Notman was also an active member of the Montreal artistic community, opening his studio for exhibitions by local painters; the studio also provided training for aspiring photographers and painters. Notman was highly regarded by his colleagues for his innovative photography, and held patents for some of the techniques he developed to recreate winter within the studio walls. He won medals at exhibitions in Montreal, London, Paris, and Australia.
Photography during the mid-19th century was not the simple process it later became. The typical tourist generally did not carry a camera and much of the Notman studio's images were taken with the tourist's needs in mind. Visitors would look through Notman's picture books and chose views, to buy individually mounted or perhaps made up into an album, and have a portrait taken as well. Street scenes in the burgeoning cities of Canada, the magnificence of modern transportation by rail and steam, expansive landscapes and the natural wonders, were all in demand either as 8" x 10" print, or in the popular stereographic form, and were duly recorded by the many staff photographers working for the Notman studio.
William Notman was a regular contributor to the photographic journal Philadelphia Photographer and in partnership with its editor, Edward Wilson, formed the Centennial Photographic Company for the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, held in honour of the 100th anniversary of the United States in 1876. He won the only gold medal to be awarded by the British judges and the portrait identification card required for entrance to the grounds was the ancestor of today's various photo-ID cards.
When William Notman died suddenly in November 1891 after a short bout of pneumonia, management of the studio Wm Notman & Son was left to his son William McFarlane Notman, an experienced photographer in his own right, who with his brothers, had accompanied the itinerant settlement known as "End of Track" for the Canadian Pacific Railway and documented the completion of the railway in Western Canada.[3]
In 1935 William McFarlane Notman's younger brother Charles sold the studio to the Associated Screen News, and in 1957 the Notman Collection was purchased by McGill University, Montreal. The 200,000 negatives, 43 Index Books, 200 Picture Books and assorted memorabilia were transferred to the McCord Museum of Canadian History.
With the addition of the McCord Museum's existing photographic holdings to the Notman Collection, the Notman Photographic Archives was born, with the Notman Collection serving as the kernel for an extensive Canadian photography department, covering Canada from Newfoundland to Victoria, the Great Lakes to the Arctic, from 1841 to 1935.
His residence from 1876 until his death, Notman House in Montreal was added to the Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec historic registry on December 8, 1979.[4]

/ News
Outdoor cinema screens will return to south east London this summer to show a series of classic films.
Pop Up Screen's cinema comes complete with 30ft screen, licensed bar, Drum and Kernel Popcorn, sweets and, new this year, burgers.
Mycenae House in Blackheath is the venue for Shaun of the Dead on July 25 and The Full Monty on July 26, while Manor House Gardens in Lewisham gets three films each in August and September.
On Friday, August 8, it's time for a Wes Anderson classic, the Royal Tenenbaums, before cinemagoers get up close and personal with 'the dude' as The Big Lebowski is shown on Saturday, August 9.
It's time to pick up a wingman and buckle up on Sunday, August 10, as Tom Cruise stars in the 1986 classic Top Gun.
The action returns in September with Fight Club (September 5), Moulin Rouge (September 6) and American Beauty (September 7), before East Greenwich Pleasaunce gets a taste of the action with The Goonies (September 26) and Forrest Gump (September 27).
Pop Up Screens founder David Leydon said: "If you've never been to an outdoor cinema, you should, it's a must try.
"I know it sounds like a bit of a sales pitch, but it really is the best way to watch a movie as you're in a park, with your friends and hundreds of other people that love that movie as much as you do.
"And that real love for the movie creates a special atmosphere you won't find at any multiplex."
Screenings start at 8.30pm, with tickets costing £10 in advance, weekender tickets £24 or season passes (valid for all 33 Pop Up Screen films shown across London) £75.

Thanks for helping!
This is a good place and if you like sushi rolls and looking for a pre-set special it is a fresh well done food. But if you are like me and like to get sashimi, baby lobster and other more exotic items it will cost you.
I had $60 lunch .....
We don't have a big variety of sushi in SA, so this was quite an experience.
Chose the chef's platter - 8 different kinds of fish, tuna, mackerel, clams, shrimp, salmon, baby lobster... Each one better than the previous.
Because the gets so busy you do have to wait quite a while for your food, but totally worth it.
This place has a very authentic feel, it is almost as busy as lunch spots I've visited in Japan. The food is as good as the busy atmosphere would indicate. If you can find it open, try it sometime.
First time I tried to eat at Sushi Sam's the wait was 2 hrs, so today hubby & I decided to skip lunch and have a very late lunch/very early dinner. We came as soon as they opened at 5 and secured a table. The hype around this place is big, and the lines are always long, so we were...
Went for a family sushi dinner. Had tekka, salmon skin roll, scallop, yellow fin, soft shell crab roll, caterpillar roll, special California roll and one of the chef choice sushi plates. All just mediocre. Yes, tasty, but no soup or salad or edamame or anything is included, like with many other restaurants. This place is so highly ranked and regarded...
we rolled up to this place with 2 toddlers, a teenager and 5 adults on a fairly busy night and were seated within 10 minutes - the server was patient and attentive and friendly all night long. The sushi was good - not amazing - but they had my favorite- ankimo (monkfish liver) so I was as happy as a...
Very lively spot with decent service. Loved the food but the wait to get in was a bit long. The sushi tasted fresh and well made and the meal was very filling
I've been going to Sam ever since he worked at Isobune. Then he opened this place and the quality is second to none. If you get the chef's choice sashimi it will be pricey but well worth what you get.
Ok, the place is a bit dated and it is not where you go if you want ambiance. But, if you want delicious, fresh, sushi variety, you can't beat Sam's. The line out the door tells you just how good it is. Sit at the bar for a fun experience and be sure to order off the blackboard - these...
The positive is the casual atmosphere, a bit loud but relaxing and energetic place. Service is quick and efficient. But I don't understand the reviews praising the sushi here: the fish is fine, but the rice is definitely not. The itamaes (sushi chefs) overload the rice portion. We had to remove some of the rice to make the sushi eatable....

Students and staff at The Henley College are celebrating after seeing results in all areas of full-time provision. A Level pass rates have risen again this year to 99% with high grades also rising a further 1% against a reported national drop. Pass rates and high grades have also risen and the College has maintained its excellent record of BTEC results with three quarters of students achieving the highest grades.
Principal Jayne Davis commented: "I am absolutely delighted with these results, the staff and students have worked very hard to achieve them. Our 99% pass rate is particularly impressive when you consider that it is made up of a combination of 42 different subjects. We have already had over 500 university places accepted and expect that number to rise in the following weeks."

of its competitors like Exxon Mobil (XOM), ConocoPhillips (COP), BP

diversified. Anadarko has focused largely on upstream activities
like the exploration and production of oil & gas rather than
the refining and marketing of end products like gasoline,
distillates and fuel oil. The majority of the large oil companies
in the world are vertically integrated, but Anadarko has kept focus
on its core strengths of exploration and production which has
yielded handsome returns for investors in recent years …

Article: New Insights into the Geographic Distribution of Mycobacterium leprae SNP Genotypes Determined for Isolates from Leprosy Cases Diagnosed in Metropolitan France and French Territories[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Between 20 and 30 bacteriologically confirmed cases of leprosy are diagnosed each year at the French National Reference Center for mycobacteria. Patients are mainly immigrants from various endemic countries or living in French overseas territories. We aimed at expanding data regarding the geographical distribution of the SNP genotypes of the M. leprae isolates from these patients. Methodology/principal findings: Skin biopsies were obtained from 71 leprosy patients diagnosed between January 2009 and December 2013. Data regarding age, sex and place of birth and residence were also collected. Diagnosis of leprosy was confirmed by microscopic detection of acid-fast bacilli and/or amplification by PCR of the M. leprae-specific RLEP region. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), present in the M. leprae genome at positions 14 676, 1 642 875 and 2 935 685, were determined with an efficiency of 94% (67/71). Almost all patients were from countries other than France where leprosy is still prevalent (n = 31) or from French overseas territories (n = 36) where leprosy is not totally eradicated, while only a minority (n = 4) was born in metropolitan France but have lived in other countries. SNP type 1 was predominant (n = 33), followed by type 3 (n = 17), type 4 (n = 11) and type 2 (n = 6). SNP types were concordant with those previously reported as prevalent in the patients' countries of birth. SNP types found in patients born in countries other than France (Comoros, Haiti, Benin, Congo, Sri Lanka) and French overseas territories (French Polynesia, Mayotte and La Réunion) not covered by previous work correlated well with geographical location and history of human settlements. Conclusions/significance: The phylogenic analysis of M. leprae strains isolated in France strongly suggests that French leprosy cases are caused by SNP types that are (a) concordant with the geographic origin or residence of the patients (non-French countries, French overseas territories, metropolitan France) or (b) more likely random in regions where diverse migration flows occurred.PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases 10/2015; 9(10):e0004141. DOI:10.1371/journal.pntd.0004141
Article: The Cyclooctadepsipeptide Anthelmintic Emodepside Differentially Modulates Nematode, Insect and Human Calcium-Activated Potassium (SLO) Channel Alpha Subunits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The anthelmintic emodepside paralyses adult filarial worms, via a mode of action distinct from previous anthelmintics and has recently garnered interest as a new treatment for onchocerciasis. Whole organism data suggest its anthelmintic action is underpinned by a selective activation of the nematode isoform of an evolutionary conserved Ca2+-activated K+ channel, SLO-1. To test this at the molecular level we compared the actions of emodepside at heterologously expressed SLO-1 alpha subunit orthologues from nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), Drosophila melanogaster and human using whole cell voltage clamp. Intriguingly we found that emodepside modulated nematode (Ce slo-1), insect (Drosophila, Dm slo) and human (hum kcnma1)SLO channels but that there are discrete differences in the features of the modulation that are consistent with its anthelmintic efficacy. Nematode SLO-1 currents required 100 μM intracellular Ca2+ and were strongly facilitated by emodepside (100 nM; +73.0 ± 17.4%; n = 9; p<0.001). Drosophila Slo currents on the other hand were activated by emodepside (10 μM) in the presence of 52 nM Ca2+ but were inhibited in the presence of 290 nM Ca2+ and exhibited a characteristic loss of rectification. Human Slo required 300nM Ca2+ and emodepside transiently facilitated currents (100nM; +33.5 ± 9%; n = 8; p<0.05) followed by a sustained inhibition (-52.6 ± 9.8%; n = 8; p<0.001). This first cross phyla comparison of the actions of emodepside at nematode, insect and human channels provides new mechanistic insight into the compound's complex modulation of SLO channels. Consistent with whole organism behavioural studies on C. elegans, it indicates its anthelmintic action derives from a strong activation of SLO current, not observed in the human channel. These data provide an important benchmark for the wider deployment of emodepside as an anthelmintic treatment.PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases 10/2015; 9(10):e0004062. DOI:10.1371/journal.pntd.0004062

Announcing Literacy Launchpad Mornings!
After working in preschools, and graduating college with a degree in education and children's literacy; I created a preschool enrichment program called Literacy Launchpad and taught the program in numerous preschools and child care centers for 8 awesome years. And now, a new chapter...
I had sadly put my Literacy Launchpad ways aside for a while in the fall of 2013 so our family could shift our full focus to figuring out this homeschooling thing that was so new, and exciting, and a little scary to us. And now that we have a couple years of homeschooling under our belt, and we're feeling a little bit like we (might) know what we're doing (kind of) with that, I am now continuing again my passion of teaching little ones to love books!
Literacy Launchpad Mornings will be based on the curriculum I developed and used for the original Literacy Launchpad program. Mornings will be filled with fun, reading, learning, and playing; they will be centered around exploring books and literacy. And now, with these expanded hours, mornings will include even more reading, books, playing, singing, dancing, writing, crafting, and art! Poke around the blog to get a peek at the kinds of fun and learning that will be incorporated into Literacy Launchpad Mornings.
Get in touch with me if you're interested in your child participating, and I can answer any questions you might have. The decision of which days it will be offered will depend on parent preference (Are you interested in 1 or 2 days? And which 1 or 2 days of the week - Mon, Wed, or Fri?).

A Fun Thing to Do at the Library!
This week we were all on a hunt for some new Christmas books to read (it was our Advent calendar activity for that day). I looked up some Christmas-y titles on the computer card catalog and starting browsing the shelves to find the books on my list.
My boys were wandering aimlessly so I enlisted their help. "Can you boys help me find this list of books? There's a lot of them. Work together and start by looking for 'E FON', then see if you find a Christmas book there." (I didn't write down all the book titles on my list.)
They were so excited to go hunting! My little guy wasn't able to find the call numbers himself, but with a little help from his big brother or from me, he could! Trying to then hunt out the Christmas title with that particular call number I gave them was like a treasure hunt. They were so proud of themselves with each book they found.
When we completed hunting out the books on our list, they begged me to make a new list so they could find some more. They seriously could have done that all day. And what great practice with their library skills and even practice with their alphabet and spelling.
To Have a Fun Library Book Hunt...
1. Choose a theme of books to look for (Holiday, Dogs, Back to School, etc.)
2. Do a computer catalog search and make a list of books to hunt for o
n the shelves. (You could involve your kids in this part too if you want.) Decide if you want to write down the book titles or just let your chosen theme guide your kiddos in hunting out the correct books.
3. Give your kids a list of the library call numbers your copied from the computer catalog. Or verbally tell your kids the call numbers as you go. If you want, you could write a few separate call numbers on separate sheets of paper and give one paper to each child. Let them race to find all the books on their list (if you trust them to not get too competitive and disruptive).
4. Assist younger children with this activity. It's great fun and helps them practice their alphabet and library skills. We sang the alphabet song a few times as we hunted for our books.

We Love Goodreads! How 'Bout You?
- We homeschool, so I like to have our books recorded for academic record keeping. And I know I'm not going to misplace my Goodreads list like I might misplace a notebook, or even a document on my computer.
- It gives the kids (and me) a feeling of accomplishment to look back over how many books we've read. My daughter and I participated in the Goodreads 2013 reading challenge this year and far surpassed our reading goals we set for ourselves. We're looking forward to setting a higher goal next year and really pushing ourselves!
- It helps us identify what our reading interests are by observing patterns in what types of genres, authors and topics we tend to gravitate toward, and enjoy the most.
- It helps us find new books we want to read. We can pull up our Goodreads account easily while we're at the library and find a book from our "want to read" list. Or we can get the name of that author whose book we loved, so we can find more stuff by them.
- It's really easy to use. I have the app on my smartphone and every time I read a picture book (several times a day) with My Little Reader, I can punch it into my app and easily record it. I always have my phone with me, so I don't have to go hunting down a notebook or my computer to log each book we read, which means I'm less likely to forget to log a book.
I know Goodreads has a lot of features we don't even utilize yet. There are book clubs on there, and ways to explore new books to read, and you can converse and socialize with friends on your friend list about what you're reading. Honestly, I think my kids probably know how to use all that stuff better than me. My older two kids have their own accounts, so they take ownership in recording their own reading on there, and they use it to come up with new books to search for at the library.
I'm including a few photos here of some favorites that my boys and I read together recently (I'm sorry I haven't updated our family bookshelf on my sidebar in forever. It's on my to-do list.)
What other book apps and websites do I need to know about? I know there must be other good ones I'm missing out on!

New, Fabulous Halloween Book and Activity!
Charlotte Gunnufson sent us a copy of her new book Halloween Hustle and the kids and I have been enjoying it immensely. I have actually had to get onto my kids a bit about them dragging the book all over the house (and out to the car on errand trips), before I got a chance to post a review while the book still looked nice and new!
I planned to sit down and read and play with the book today with My Little Reader since it's aimed at kids around his age (he's in kindergarten). But my older son (9) couldn't resist the fun and wanted to join us too!
I thought it would be fun to make our own little skeletons that could do the Halloween Hustle as we read the story, and fall down just like the skeleton in the book. My Little Reader decided he wanted to make a mummy like the one in the book. After some hard work, and a couple revisions, he had it the way he wanted. We each attached our creations to popsicle sticks for marionette-style puppets.
I used simple white yarn (because that's what I had in my craft cabinet) to attach the mummy and skeleton to the popsicle stick handles. We punched holes and used twisty ties (again, using what I had handy) to make the puppets' joints move so they could hustle.
Isn't that an adorable mummy? I think so!
The story is full of fun and whimsical Halloween-type characters that are headed to a party on Halloween night (warning: there is a zombie in the story that is a little on the gross side). While observing the cover, My Little Reader wondered how the skeleton would be able to dance without falling apart since he has no skin or muscles, and he was right on the money with his wonderings. Turns out the skeleton has quite the trouble staying put together as he dances through this tale.
The rhyming text makes it lots of fun. And we love that it has a happy ending for the skeleton.
And it really says something when my nine year old thinks a picture book is cool enough to sit and listen to mom read it.
The skeleton would be easy enough to use even without the string and popsicle sticks attached. You could make the jointed skeleton out of card stock and simply let your child hold him with his hands and make him dance. Be sure you use card stock - I don't think regular paper, or even construction paper, would be heavy enough to work very well.
I have included a pattern for the skeleton that I made (below). I do not have a pattern for the mummy My Little Reader made. But your little reader could make their own mummy, or could create a puppet based on another character in the book. You could make all the characters and do a puppet show of the story!
Check out the book trailer here!
And learn how to do the "Halloween Hustle" here!
Have fun! And I would love to see some pics of your puppets you make!

Kindergarten Book Talk
This weekend I had My Little Reader give a book talk on one of our recent library picks that he enjoyed.
Consider having your child record a book talk about one of their favorite books and let them share it with friends and family, or their classmates at school! Encourage them talk about books with others!

Sight Word Practice
Sight Word Memory is the game we started with. We're focusing on just five sight words to begin with. I made my own cards for the game out of index cards. My Little Reader decided to underline the words on the cards, because he was getting confused about which direction they were supposed to go.
Once he was doing well with Sight Word Memory, we moved on to Sight Word Dash. I took our memory cards and put one of each word in a place in the house (I just spread them on the floor or table). I took MLR down the hall and told him a word to go find; he had to dash down the hall to the room they were in and come back with the correct word card. Then I repeated those steps till he had retrieved all the sight word cards. I would either give him a time limit on a timer or just time to see how fast he could complete the task (we played both ways). He loved this game, and wanted me to have a chance to play too. He set the game up for me just as I did for him, and he read me each word I had to go find and bring back. This variation of the game was great practice for him too since he had to read each word that I was to go find.
As we continue our sight word practice, I'll share more fun ways we're practicing our sight words!

- Day trip from Taormina to Alcantara Gorges, Randazzo and Mount Etna's foothills
- Explore rock pools and volcanic canyons on a walk through Alcantara Gorges
- Visit the medieval town of Randazzo and explore its cathedral, Basilica di Santa Maria
- Travel to the north refuge on Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano
- Enjoy free time to hike around the foothills of Mount Etna on your own
- Upgrade to visit Mount Etna's summit with a guide and walk around its craters
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
Walking and climbing along the rocks of Alcantara Gorges is a great way to escape the Sicilian heat! The area is totally sheltered from the sun, so be prepared for freezing cold water if you decide to paddle in one of the rock pools.
What You Can Expect
After paying your entrance fee, head into the parkland and enjoy a short walk through the gorges with your guide, admiring the waterfalls and crystal-clear rock pools that abound. Return to your coach and relax on your journey to Randazzo, just outside Parco della Etna –a scenic national park.
Basilica di Santa Maria – Randazzo cathedral – is the town's medieval masterpiece, so step inside and discover its beauty with your guide. Admire the columns that were built from local black lava stone and see a collection of 18th-century paintings. If you visit on a Sunday, your guide will also allow you some free time to browse the Sunday market at leisure.
Return to your coach and travel through Parco della Etna, into the foothills of Mount Etna, the smouldering volcano that's lauded as Europe's most active. Travel to the north refuge point, at an altitude of 6,234 feet (1,900 meters), and then leave your coach to explore the area independently.
If you are hungry, enjoy a bite to eat and drink in the refuge's cafe (own expense), and be sure to ask your guide for hiking trail recommendations. The volcano's rugged terrain matches the drama of its views, so sturdy walking shoes are just as necessary as your camera.
Upgrade to skip the free time and head straight to the top, instead. Ride by cable car to a height of 8,202 feet (2,500 meters), and then travel the remaining distance by 4x4 jeep, stopping at a dizzying 9,843 feet (3,000 meters). Follow your guide around the summit's craters and peer into the hornitos (small openings that release lava) while learning about volcanic activity.
Board your coach at the pre-arranged time, and then travel back to the start point in Taormina.
Customer Reviews
November 2014
Enjoy the whole day. The highlight of the day was Mount Etna. We were so lucky to have had a beautiful and clear day. Would highly recommended this day tour to everyone. The tour company was excellent as they had organised the day before to pick us up from our hotel and take us closer to the pick up point for the tour.
July 2015
We had a really fun day on this tour. It gives you a great chance to see what this part of Sicily has to offer, cramming quite a lot in to a relatively short space of time, without making it feel rushed. The star of the show is definitely the Etna trip - it's a fascinating place even though it was extremely cloudy at the top so there weren't many views to see!. I would urge people going on this trip to bring warm clothing, even if it feels like a hot day down below, as it's very cold at the high altitude and there were patches of snow on the ground even though we went in June and the temperature in Taormina down below was 30C..
The Alcantara gorges provided a nice walk around, though we didn't think they were particularly spectacular. Personally I think the tour could ditch the Randazzo part completely as it's not an especially nice village and there's not much to do there although the stop-off does provide an opportunity to grab lunch.
I feel it important to mention that a few things mentioned on the itinerary on the Viator tour didn't actually happen. For example:
- the guide did not come around the gorges with us we were left to walk around on our own
- there was no cable car on the trip and this was not even mentioned at any stage.
- the guide did not come with us to the craters: we were basically dumped out of the 4x4 and left to wander around on our own.
- disappointingly, we did not actually go to the summit. We went high up Etna, but not to the summit. The guide actually said to someone on the way back that it is not allowed for tourists to visit the summit any more - so why advertise otherwise?
None of these issues were massively problematic and we still had a good day, but it seems odd to mention things like this on the itinerary if they're not going to be provided, or even mentioned. I would urge Viator to revise the details provided on this site, so that they match what is actually provided.
May 2015
The trip was good but he only covered Mount Atna. This trip covers Randazzo and Alcantara Gorges. They never even mentioned those two places once in the trip. I paid for all three and got only one out of this.
June 2015
I expected more. The tour had two stops before the Etna totally expendable. When we arrived it was after lunch, the worst time to see the volcano in activity. The best time is in the morning.
The tour was so expansive for little.

Angie's Answers
How to Get Rid of Springtails
One of the most effective ways to control springtails is to dry out the infested area. Springtails require a high-moisture environment to breed and thrive, living mostly off of algaes that grow in moist conditions. They will either leave the infested area or die out. If there is an infestation that cannot be controlled by drying out the infested area, use an appropriately labeled insecticide with a residual time These will typically be a liquid concentrate form, a wet-able powder form, or a dust product. DO NOT APPLY UNTIL AREAS ARE DRY. If area will not dry naturally, use Corn Starch to soak-up any lingering moisture and otherwise 'steer' any rain water or irrigation away from area.
Also, if there is a noticed springtail infestation around the perimeter of the structure, use the insecticide to do a barrier treatment and apply corn starch to reduce or eliminate moisture. Caulk and seal all cracks and crevices and inspect potted plants before they are brought into the house.
I would talk to your local lawn and garden supply store (or mill and feed) - NOT a box store or hardware store. There are also selective grass control chemicals. YOu can research this by Googling using search string "Tall Fescue Control" - there are lots of articles by the USDA and individual state cooperative extension services.
There is a treatment called chlorsulfuron TFC (Tall Fescue Control) that will do this - it worked for me in western New York, but took 3 years to finish out all the tall fescue. It may now be limited to use by commercial applicators - pretty potent stuff. Can yellow bluegrass or make it phytosensitive, but our looked OK during treatment because the TFC was applied in the fall for best results, and our lawn was dormant till spring anyway.
Tall fescue can also be controlled by real short mowing, but only in areas where the bluegrass is dominant and really thrives so will eventually crowd out the trimmed fescue, but you may be too far north for that.
Lawn Care reviews in Johnson City
service, as they do not use ramps to get an aerator over small stone steps. Fortunately, that was not a problem for this provider. day after my call. He did the aeration, overseeding, and also said he added a fertilizer. I expected a lower price, as my lawn is tiny (less than 800 sq. feet), he spent 20-30 min doing the job and charged $300 (I asked to apply 5% Angie's list coupon). The Angie's list deal for this provider is $300 for the aeration and overseeding for up to a fourth acre, which is at least 10 times larger than my lawn. Other than the price, I am pleased with the service.
The owner it cost and exactly what they will be doing as well the days they would come.
II would definitely recommend
Eventually, I got a person that was supposed to know what was going on to talk to me. Mind you, they were not willing to come to my yard to look at what I wanted. I explained that my order of priorities was to get weeds done, then branches and then mulch. We discussed cost of mulch and hours required to install at length and agreed on a cost for labor beyond the 12 hours purchased in the big deal, as her expectation is that the work would require more than 12 hours. We even agreed what would happen if they could not finish in one day and needed to come back--how much per hour the second day of work would be, etc.
They notified me on Sunday before my Monday appointment that they couldn't make it and asked if they could come on Wednesday between 10 and 1. I called and said those hours wouldn't work and they offered to be there between 8 and 11. On the day of service, two people arrived at 945am, though the invoice says 930am (I was on a conference call with work until 935 am, so I'm quite certain about the times).They did not seem to know what I wanted done. So I walked through the yard pointing out the limbs I wanted trimmed, the beds to be weeded. I marked with orange flag tape three small plants that I was worried would be weeded as they are unusual and hard to see and pointed these specifically out. I pointed out that it was important to me that all of the beds get weeded. And when they started to mulch, to make sure they did the front and side beds first and did the mulching in the back last in case they ran out. (FYI, this was not an English/translation issue--the worker spoke good English and said he is from Ohio).
I left for work and they did the work while I was out. They left sometime before 5pm. The quality of the work is quite poor. If my 12-year old had done it, I would have made him redo the work.
Things I am unhappy with:
One of my three flagged plants is gone.
They did not weed several of the beds.
Where they did weed, I can see weeds along the edges and when I pull those weeds, I see more weeds under the mulch--as if all they did was pour mulch on top of the weeds.
Some of the weeded beds have many many weeds remaining, some of which are 12"+ high, especially close to the plants in the beds--again as if they couldn't be bothered to pull weeds prior to mulching.
There are three piles of mulch over 12" tall in the beds, as if they forgot to finish spreading them.
On the plus side, they did blow the leaves off my lawn, which I did not ask for, and bag and leave the refuse for pickup as I requested. So to someone glancing at the yard, they probably would say it looks good, but it'll be pathetic in a couple weeks as the weeds continue to grow, and I still have to weed the beds they decided not to work on.
Now, you might say I should have supervised them better, but the rate I paid, even with the big deal, was over $30 per hour, so I expect high quality work and self-supervision for those kinds of prices. I am quite disappointed with the quality of this work.

Another great vacation at the Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach. We have been to Mexico numerous times with this being our 4th time on the Riviera Mayan and second time at this resort.
I travel with my 85 year old mother and we really enjoyed this resort again.
We had requested a top level room as a sea view was very important to us. When we checked in we were offered a 2nd floor room in building 24 or 25 – no sea view and quite a walk to the beach. The view was important for us as we really enjoy sitting on the balcony especially watching the sunrise. We decided to pay for the upgrade (approximately $20/day per person) and got a 3rd floor (top floor) room 2972 at the end of the building. It was a perfect location for us as it was the closest to the beach on the Mayan Beach side and only had one neighbor beside us. It really cut down on the walking to the beach which was important to my Mom and was very quiet. Room was also provided good access to all other areas of the resort. Just be prepared to walk a little or wait for a cart to give you a ride.
Two of the consierge's were amazing. Many thanks to Trini and Alberto who managed to book restaurants and spa treatments for us. We really enjoyed the hydra treatment at the spa.
Restaurants were all very good. We went to the Mexican, Cajun, Brazilian, Japanese and Steak house. We really enjoyed each one with the Cajun being our least favorite and Japanese and Brazilian being our favourite. Make sure you make your restaurant reservations as soon as you arrive and keep checking back to ensure you get the reservations you want. We ate at restaurants as often as possible as we preferred that over the buffet.
We are beach people so we would spend all day at the beach. Our favorite time was early in the morning before it got too busy. We didn't even bother going for breakfast. Instead we would get our coffee and muffin or pastry from the coffee shop (thank you to the amazing coffee shop staff) and enjoy it on the beach. I would recommend taking beach shoes as there are a number of rocks on the beach and in the water. We have had better beaches at other resorts but it is still a beautiful beach. Beach service was just awesome with Guadaloupe providing just awesome service. She always remembered our drinks, worked so hard and was just an lovely person.
We knew what to expect this time with the rooms and took our own pillows. This meant a much more comfortable stay as the hotel's pillows are very flat and hard. The other reviews have covered other aspects to the rooms and facilities.
We look forward to our next trip to the Grand Sirenis and would be happy to answer any questions.

Boston College (Political Science)
Hi, my name is Greta! I am a college student majoring in political science, and am originally from Rome, Italy. Since I was young, languages have been my passion. I have spoken Italian, Spanish and English since the age of three. I have always liked the idea of being able to speak different languages, thus surpassing cultural barriers and becoming a citizen of the world. I have been helping my students and peers defeat the "scary monster" of language classes ever since I was in high school. I took the IB Diploma in 11th and 12th grade and therefore am familiar with all kinds of language curricula, grammar and literature topics.
I am fluent in Italian (being a native) and also in Spanish. I offer lessons in both subjects for students of all levels. I am very patient and have had experience with beginners as well as with more fluent speakers when I tutored in high school. I am currently a Big Sister at Jackson Mann Elementary School in Allston. My little sister is 8 years old and I frequently help her with her English, math and social studies work. This opportunity helped me gain experience and methods of tutoring young children.
My specialty in tutoring is languages. My approach with language students is based on making the subject enjoyable to learn. Just like pieces of a puzzle that come together, every day and every time students put some effort into learning and practicing a language gets them one step closer to seeing the completed picture, which is being fluent and feeling confident with what they say.
I always encourage my students and hope that they respond with a positive attitude, which undoubtedly leads to better results. I love to see my students succeed, and encourage this success by speaking to them in the language during each lesson, providing a full immersion into the subject. To make the language more approachable, I assign my students music and films in the given language to study. It makes the process of learning and absorbing the language more interesting, and tends to be the best way to learn.
I am extremely enthusiastic about my lessons, and promise to be 100% committed to my students and do my best to make my lessons clear and enjoyable. Thank you for your time. I look forward to meeting you!

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Greta Q. has not yet had a background check. After sending a message to Greta, you will be able to order a background check for $7.99. The check will be processed by First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

We recently renovated a place in Lisbon and offer it for holiday rentals when we are not enjoying it ourselves. We travel a lot and always like to meet interesting people from around the world on our trips. With Airbnb we can bring interesting people to us!

A Robust Algorithm for the Membership Management of Super-Peer Overlay

Peer-to-Peer technologies have been widely applied for multimedia applications. The super-peer based approach provides an efficient way to run applications by exploring nodes' heterogeneity. In P2P live video streaming, even though the number of stable nodes is small, they have significant impact on the performance of the network. Thus, the authors present a super-peer-based overlay design, where stable nodes are assigned as super-peers that organize client nodes. A Gossip-based Super-Peer Selection algorithm (GSPS) is proposed to identify the stable nodes to be chosen as super-peers and to manage the client nodes (namely the membership management).
