Most of you probably know that Spanish is the second-most common language in the United States after English. But did you know that Chinese is in third place, followed by Tagalog, a Philippine language? It gets even more interesting when you crunch the numbers by state, as Ben Bratt of Slate did using data from the 2009 American Community Survey endorsed by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The following numbers are based on how many people over the age of five speak speak a particular language at home. Thus, the results don't include people who learned a second language, say at school, but otherwise don't utilize it as their primary one in the U.S.
Again, Spanish's dominance isn't too surprising — it's spoken by around 10 percent of the population, roughly 35 million people (and that's of almost five years ago).
French is dominant in areas that were former French settlements (Louisiana and parts of Maine) or that were (and still are) in close proximity to French communities (Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire).
Yupik, an Inuit language, is the second-most spoken language in Alaska, which also isn't surprising given that 15 percent of the state's population is indigenous — the highest proportion of any U.S. state.
Tagalog's popularity in Hawaii reflects the large Filipino population, which is the single largest ethnic group in the state. In fact, only around a quarter of Hawaiians are non-Hispanic whites, with over a third being Asian (although native Hawaiians comprise around six percent of the state's population, only around 0.1 percent of Hawaii's residents speak the language).
Now here's how the U.S. looks once you reveal the third-most common languages per state.
Pretty fascinating stuff, yes? Who would think that Vietnamese is the third-most common language in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas? Or that Portuguese is prominent in Massachusetts and Rhode Island? Given that Germans are the largest ethnic group in the U.S., its linguistic prevalence isn't too surprising — in fact, it would arguably be much more common were it not for the World Wars discouraging its usage.
My own home state, Florida, is a major gateway for people from Latin America and the Caribbean — hence why French Creole, namely the Haitian variety, follows Spanish as the most common non-English language. The fact that a native language is most prevalent in Arizona and New Mexico (as well as in South Dakota and Alaska) reflects the pattern of settlement of the U.S. — most Native Americans in the live in the West because it was settled much later on, leading to relatively less cultural and demographic destruction.
In any case, the commonality of a particular language in a state provides a lot of interesting insight into the new and/or historic developments in the area. If you're curious, here are the most popular languages in the U.S. overall according to the survey (courtesy of Wikipedia).
- English only – 228,699,523
- Spanish – 35,468,501
- Chinese (mostly Yue dialects like Cantonese, with a growing number of Mandarin speakers) – 2,600,150

It is difficult to imagine what our forefathers endured in the fight for independence. I tried to imagine life inside a fort but find myself with only a romanticized vision. Yesterday was nothing short of peaceful; blue skies, warm temperatures, and smiling faces.
We climbed the ramparts and walked along the top of the fort. We descended the stone steps into the cool, dark chambers of the casements. There were no guns or cannons firing and the floors had been swept clean. Some areas of the cavern were pitch black making us wish we had brought a flashlight along, but there were no wounded men, no shivering cold, no spider webs, and no rats hiding in the shadows.
My favorite part was the top of the rampart. I think I could spend a bit of time just sitting up there in the grass, soaking up the sunshine and looking over the lake. I've seen a tall ship sailing in and now I need to find a good book on the War of 1812.

Exploration Four: Amal
9 comments:
I like what you say "Another positive matter is the local and organic benefit you and the community around you". I think most farmers want to produced healthy and fresh food for us. There are a lot of good benefits for eating the organic foods!ReplyDelete
"Your body is a reflection of what you are.If you want to look healthy you have to be healthy." Although this was not said in the documentary, I really like that you added this to you Exploration 4 because it is very true. I also like that you said, "Who know maybe it would really change their lives." I think that is a bold statement because I personally believe that if you do change your eating habits that it can really change you mentally, physically, and emotionally. You just over-all feel like a better person when you make a positive lifestyle choice like that.ReplyDelete
"The documentary was really made to show the world and anyone how their food is being handled or where it is coming from. It shows how farming has changed from the old traditions to this new ways of doing things and the consequences of it" I really like how you worded these 2 sentences Amal. I tried to say the same thing in mine but couldnt type it out correctly like you did and did very well.ReplyDelete
I like your quotes which are really good. The last paragraph is best because it shows some ideas of food chain from ecosystem like how did you describe here. your little note was really influence to everyone and its true that our body is reflection of what we are and if we want healthy than we should have healthy food.ReplyDelete
"Farming grass- if you take care of the grass you are in return taking care of the animals eating the grass." I really like this quote. I think this is very true. When you take care of the grass and make sure it is clean and fresh, then the animals eating the grass will be healthy. Your writing is at its best in the last paragraph. You have many good quotes.ReplyDelete
"If we don't try to fix the errors that are being done, it will only get worse." this is really true because we aren't really thinking about the future and that we are only worrying about where we get our food from. Also if they keep treating animals like they do in the industrialized farm there won't be enough food production in the future because the animals keep getting sick, and catch decease and those can transfer to different animals with leads to killing most of the animals. The other problem is that the animals aren't treated with respect. I think that you're second paragraph was the best because you have very solid points and you explain the quotes very well.ReplyDelete
"If we don't try to fix the errors that are being done, it will only get worse." This is a really good quote, and your make a strong point here. Eventually, things will get worse because we are over exhausting our crops, livestock and our daily processed foods. We need to start returning to organic or fresh produce soon, otherwise, we will be past the point of no return (if we have not gone past it already).ReplyDelete
"Farming grass- if you take care of the grass you are in return taking care of the animals eating the grass" I like this quote because it really explains the cycle of how food is madeReplyDelete
I really like the quote that you added because I think that it goes along with the documentary that we watched very well and it is so true.ReplyDelete

*Note: This is second piece of a two part article, read part 1 here.
We've learned that despite brand, cameras and lenses, most of the time our gear need to be calibrated to obtain a razor sharp focus. Let's go in depth and learn how to do it!
Now that we have seen in this article why we need to calibrate the autofocus of our camera/lens combination (CLC) let's see how to do it.
In a nut-shell, we point the camera at the SpyderLENSCAL, we focus on the vertical target, take a picture, and by zooming in the picture (on the camera display or, better, on a computer screen) we can verify on the ruler whether the front or rear section is sharper (ideally should be the zero, but….)
In case the numbers in the ruler's front area are sharper than zero, then the lens is 'front focusing', in case the numbers on the rear are sharper, then the lens is back focusing and we can use the in-camera menu to fine tune the focus.
That's the quick explanation, let's go through the in depth process. To make things easier, I'll split the process in 6 parts
It's important to get things lined up properly: we need to be square on to the target and it is worth to invest a little bit of time to do it correctly. First of all, we make sure that camera and SpyderLENSCAL during the entire process are placed at the same distance: it can be a achieved using tripods, light-stands (SpyderLENSCAL has a tripod mount) a flat surface like a table, a desk, and so on.
We need to make sure our CLC (camera/lens combination) and SpyderLENSCAL are aligned on the vertical and on the horizontal axis. The SpyderLENSCAL has a built in bubble spirit level to ensure it gets positioned correctly. A level on the camera, thought not mandatory, will definitely make the process easier: you can use an external spirit level mounted on the camera hot shoe (see Image 1) or a level on the tripod plate, or an electronic level in your smartphone (see Image 2) and do not forget that many of recent cameras includes electronic levels (Image 3).
Look at Image 4A and Image 4B to see the correct positioning of the SpyderLENSCAL and the camera. If your camera has LiveView, it can be very helpful in this procedure.
When aiming the CLC at the target, the central focusing point of your camera should overlap the small bullseye at the right edge of the vertical target, but make sure to not overlap the ruler with the center point, or it will result in wrong focusing (see Image 5.)
When looking through the viewfinder, the right side of the vertical target and the left side of the ruler should be parallel (see Image 6). If there is some space between the two (see Image 7), you are positioned too much on the right and if you don't see the entire scale of the ruler, and it's "cropped" in the upper part (see Image 8) you are positioned too much on the left.
This is probably the question that all of the SpyderLENSCAL users have: what should be the distance between the camera and the SpyderLENSCAL? Some producer like Canon suggest the autofocus regulation should be done at 50 times the focal length. In other world, if I am using a 50 mm, the distance should be 50mm x 50 times = 2500mm or 2.5 meters, if I am using a 100mm lens the distance should be 100mm x 50times = 5000mm or 5 meters, and so on…
Now, while I do trust Canon and I do believe as a general rule 50 times the focal length gives a good overall result, I tend to calibrate the autofocus at my most used shooting distance for that particular lens (if known). A 100mm lens, for example, is a lens I use mostly for portraits, and most of the time I am shooting between 1 and 3 meters, rarely at 5 meters as suggested by Canon, so I'd rather have the peak performance of my CLC in that distance range. If I do not have a specific or most used shooting distance, than the 50 times rules apply. Several "geek" I know prefer to use a distance of 30 times the focal length, because it's a bit easier see the focusing error (if any).
Needless to say, you should NEVER change the distance between the camera and the SpyderLENSCAL during the calibration!
To evaluate the focusing performance of our CLC, it's important to shoot whit the following settings:
Of course if you calibrate a prime lens the question doesn't even bother, but what if I calibrate a zoom lens? should I calibrate at the widest or the longest focal length? Normally you can only calibrate at one focal length and by nature, if there is a need for calibration, it will be more visible at the longest focal length, due to the shallower depth of field. I suggest that you do a test at both focal length, to verify which length is more in need of correction.
With newest cameras like the Canon 5DMkIII you can calibrate the autofocus at the widest focal length and at the longest, resulting in a much improved precision and control in focusing (see Image 9)
When calibrating a good quality fast prime lens, like a 50mm 1.4 or a 85mm 1.4, it's quite immediate to see where the real focus is on the SpyderLENSCAL ruler. Things are a bit more difficult when the quality of the lens is not so good or when the lens is not so fast.
In the first case, with a mediocre lens, we might have an overall fuzziness that makes spotting the real focus quite hard, since everything really looks non in-focus. In the second case, i.e. shooting with a 18-55mm f 5.6, the relatively short focal distance and the big depth of field given by the f5.6 aperture make everything look in-focus, therefore we are unable to find where the focus really is.
Two things can help in this scenario: most of the lenses (even the good ones) have some sort of chromatic aberration in the out of focus areas (see Image 10, click to enlarge it) and generally show some magenta on the out of focus area in the front section of the ruler and some green in the rear section of the ruler. If you start from magenta, you notice that going towards the back of the ruler the color tend to vanish, till some green show up. The point where there is no color aberration, or better, where there is a transition from magenta to green, is your sharpest point. Zoom in at 100% view to see exactly where the aberration shift from magenta to green. You can try increasing the saturation or the vibrance in your raw converter, If this color shift is not clearly visible.
Regarding the big depth of field given by some slow and wide lenses, which translates in everything in focus, the only real thing you can do is to evaluate if the DOF is spread 1/3 in the front and 2/3 in the back, as it should. If not, you can correct accordingly. Let's say your depth of field is about 1/2 in the front and 1/2 in the back, than you have some front focusing and you should "move" it toward the back.
A clarification is now required: if you shoot several images of the target and, as suggested earlier, you manually "defocus" before every shot, you'll eventually find that the focus is slightly different from image to image. For this reason I suggest you take at least 3 frames of the first test image, and 3 frames for every other image with corrections applied, so you can compar and ensure you actually get consistent focusing from picture to picture.
Once you spotted the real focus point and the sharpest area on the ruler, is time to fine tune the focus from the in-camera menu. This function is normally located in the camera custom functions menu, in image 11 is an example of Canon cameras and in image 12 an example of Nikon cameras. Please refer to your camera's user manual to find this function. In case your CLC presents front-focusing, you have to move the focus backward, in case it presents back-focusing you have to move the focus frontward.
Some cameras allow lens per lens correction (normally you can store up to 20 lenses per body) and a overall correction that apply every lens mounted on that body. You DO NOT want to use this second possibility, and you ALWAYS want to correct lens by lens.
But the question is: how much correction do I apply?
With some (very few) producers the correction can be made in millimeter, which makes life lightning fast: your CLC has a back focus of 15 millimeters? than you just insert 15 millimeters of front focus and.. that's it!
But with cameras like Canon and Nikon, you can only adjust the focus in "steps". On top of this, the steps are different from lens to lens. If for example a 20 millimeters front focus on a 50 mm lens is corrected with +7 steps in the camera menu, 20 millimeters of front focus on a 135mm lens might require a +12 steps correction.
In other words using cameras like Canon or Nikon, there is no specific correction to a given amount of front or back focus, and we must take a few images to find out how many steps to apply. We start with a correction, than we take another image, we check if the correction is enough, and in case is not, we proceed until we find the right value.
As a general rule, if your CLC present a severe focusing error, in the range of 5 centimeters or more (front or back) I would start with 8 steps, if the error is in the range of 2.5 centimeters, I would proceed in steps of 4, and if there is a minor focusing error, in the range of plus or minus 1 centimeter, I would correct in steps of 2.
Of course when you get close to correct the problem, you want to proceed one step at the time, to make sure you arrive "gradually" at the sharp zero on the ruler.
Like in the case of monitor calibration, there is not a rule regarding how often you should calibrate a lens. Of course a brand new lens is less prone to loose precision than an old beaten lens used every day for the last 15 year. Also, temperature and usage can influence the behavior of a given CLC. While it takes many words to explain in detail the calibration procedure, in real life it takes no more than 5 minutes per lens, while a short autofocus check with the lens cal takes just the time of aligning and taking a picture. For an average user, I would say a quarterly check would be enough, for professional photographer shooting every day news and reportage, with camera always hanging on the shoulders, a monthly check would be ideal. It really depends, but every time you feel you're not getting the perfect focus you should, a quick check with SpyderLENSCAL can clarify every doubt.
In conclusion, this was a long explanation that translates in few minutes in real life. Just remember that this procedure will not make your lens sharper than it is, it will make your CLC more precise and working at its peak performance. So if you have a standard kit zoom lens, do not expect it to perform as a top notch prime lens after a calibration with SpyderLENSCAL. But sure enough, a calibrated cheap lens will return sharper images than a high end prime lens with a severe focusing error…
Now, just calibrate all you lenses and start enjoying razor sharp photography…

Have you ever had an Ugh, I need a vacation moment? I had one recently. I felt anxious for an adventure and I started looking up flights for a weekend trip somewhere. Anywhere. I realized that I live quite close to Mexico now… and that was the end of my brainstorming. Mexico it is. I asked my brother to go with me but he was too busy with his own I need a vacation adventures so another friend volunteered to come instead.
We settled on Cancún after finding cheap flights a little more than a week out (~$300 roundtrip). Our other option was Puerto Vallarta but we thought we'd go all in for the Spring Break experience.
This was probably the least-planned trip I have ever taken. I had never been to Mexico before and I knew nothing about it. What kind of outlets do they have? (The same as the U.S.) Do they accept USD? (Not really) What's the conversion rate? ($1 USD = roughly $17 pesos*). How's my high school Spanish? (Not great, but good enough to get by).
With little preparation, I packed my bags and headed to Cancún. Upon arrival, I waited for B at the airport bar with no cell service and no wifi (the Internet told me CUN has wifi. It doesn't). One of the SuperShuttle guys felt bad for me because I was waiting for so long so he let me use his wifi. Finally, I managed to find B and we headed to the hotel.
By the time we arrived we were both tired and just wanted to get some food. We figured we'd take it easy, walk around a bit, and save ourselves for a night out the next night. A for effort, guys.
We wandered down to the "strip" of nightclubs and restaurants and found ourselves at Hacienda el Mortero, a Mexican restaurant with beautiful decor and a live mariachi band. I made the band play my favorite song from Desperado (Morena De Mi Corazón) after hearing them play it earlier. The food was delicious. We started with guacamole (obviously) and for dinner we tried the lime soup and grilled cactus salad. Also, giant margaritas. Duh.
After dinner, dressed in the opposite of club garb, we wandered the strip, taking it all in. We were approached by a gentleman who tried to sell us on tickets to a new club, but we told him we were exploring our options and we'd come back later.
We made it about 10 feet.
Tout #2 was much better, offering us a slightly higher price but one that included entry to three clubs instead of one AND a personal waiter to follow us around for the night making us drinks. Oh, and the drinks were included. Done.
Remember when we were going to take it easy? Nice try, guys.
We handed over our money to our new friend and got ready for the craziness…
The night began at Mandala, an open-air bar/lounge with huge screens playing music videos, an awesome DJ, and, of course, half-naked girls dancing on fenced-in platforms facing the street. Is it really Spring Break without scantily clad women?
I laughed at myself as I walked into the club with my VIP wristband wearing cuffed denim shorts, a white flowy tank top with a sports bra underneath, and bright white Vans, glowing in the club's black lights. I found amusement in the fact that I was let into the club looking like this while the other female club-goers were completely decked out in the tightest, smallest thing they could find.
After an hour or so our waiter told us it was time to go to the next club, Dady'O. Yes, it was called Dady'O, and it was actually our favorite club of the night. This one was indoors, with a killer DJ and a really cool set up. Of course, what's a night out without some gross drunk dude hitting on you? GDD came up to me to try to get me on the dance floor and I told him I was taking it easy, watching from the balcony. We got to talking for a minute and he told me he was from Orange County, living the housewife life, but without the house.
Wait, so you're…? I started.
Yeah, he said, grinning like an idiot.
Okay, then. Have a nice night. I turned away from him and five minutes later found him aggressively kissing some other woman. I guess I missed my chance.
The people-watching continued and I enjoyed dancing in my own little VIP bubble far away from the crowded dance floor, trying to decide whether I wanted to be down there or not. Eventually, it was time to move on to the next spot and Waiter ushered us to our final destination.
The City was a massive venue, with balconies on several levels and one giant dance floor in the middle. It was everything I imagined from a huge place like that– incredible light show, giant balloons and confetti dropping from the ceiling, huge blasts of fog shooting from the ceiling, and a solid DJ. All that being said, it was absolutely terrible for dancing. There just wasn't really any space for it, and I don't know what people were doing but they weren't dancing. I think this place would be amazing with someone like Tiesto or Steve Aoki playing, but with just an average DJ (no offense to the DJ that night) it just didn't do it for me. Sorry, City! Maybe next time.
Eventually, we decided we'd had enough for the night and we went to sober up with some cheese quesadillas. We continued to enjoy the epic people-watching and then had all of our money taken by small children. Okay, fine, we gave it to them because we were inebriated and they were giving us colorful bracelets.
We made it back to our hotel (a miracle, considering we walked there), and then passed out so we could enjoy a nice relaxing day at the beach the next day. Or so we thought..
*Pro tip: They use the same $ dollar sign for Pesos and USD. So, uh, yeah… don't get confused 🙂

|Ticket barriers at Kings Cross - a potential energy generator
Consider a one-person size 600 mm x 600 mm (2' x 2') paving slab. Basic physics means that each time the slab is depressed the maximum energy produced is F*s (force times distance travelled). I guess the maximum travel must be about 1 cm, anything more is going to feel like a very wobbly paving slab, and risks trips and falls with subsequent law suits. As for the force, to make life easier, I'll presume 1000 N. This is the weight of a 102 kg (16 stone) person (who'd have to be taller than 2.02 m (6' 7.5") to avoid being overweight). This is larger than most people, but as I'm after an upper bound, this will do.
Each depression therefore supplies 10 J. In reality, some of this will get put into the spring mechanism that restores the slab to an undepressed state, and no generator is going to be 100% efficient, but I'll ignore that and presume it generates 10 J of electricity.
The next problem is how often does it get pressed? Wikipedia tells me that a military quick march is about 120 strides per minute (it varies by regiment). Let's presume we have an array of slabs, and a vast horde of people doing a quick march over this array, spaced 1 slab apart in both directions with their left and right feet marching on adjacent columns of slabs. This way every slab is depressed 120 times a minute, twice a second, generating 20 W, equivalent to ~0.5 kWh/day. Remember that this is an upper bound. [Nicola adds, UK total energy usage is 80 kWh/person/day]
In reality, people do not weigh 102 kg and act like a May Day parade in the old Soviet Union, but this gives us a good upper bound for peak power generation per slab when deployed in a pedestrian area. However, it's nowhere near a realistic average rate of generation. Rather than try to apply guessed fudge factors to the peak rate, I'll look at an example of a place where lots of people go and where they can be funnelled in a way that means they'll walk on a slab.
Wikipedia tells me that last year King's Cross station had 26.255 million entries/exits and 2.15 million interchanges, which corresponds to 30.555 million passengers getting on/off trains there. This is fractionally less than the 31.536 million seconds in a year, but close enough that we can presume one passenger per second arriving or departing on average. More realistically assuming that the average passenger weighs 600 N (61 kg) and can be manoeuvred to step on a slab, that would give us 6 W on average. However, in reality it's not safe or even feasible to bottleneck all passengers through a 600 mm gap. The best we can do is to put the slabs where they have to pass, which means the ticket barriers. There are approximately 50 of these in the station, which means an average power rate per slab of 6 J every 50 seconds, or 0.12 W, 2.88 Wh/day, or fractionally over 1 unit of electricity per year. Considering this is in a place with guaranteed footfall where people can be funnelled onto the generators, unlike most places, this is about the best we can hope for.
1 unit of electricity costs about 14p at consumer rates even for 100% renewable energy (prices from Good Energy). The business rate for non-renewable energy will be about 4-5p/unit depending on contract. If we want this slab to pay for itself financially within a likely 20 year lifetime year it needs to cost no more than £1.00, including installation. Also there is the embodied energy to worry about.
For comparison, solar panel installations these days cost as little as £6300 for a 2 kWp system which in the Cambridge area will yield 1600 kWh/year. That is about £3.90 per 1 kWh/year generated. To be competitive with solar panels, which most people consider expensive and is subsidised by the Feed in Tariffs, the paving slab which generates 1 kWh/year, with all its special electrics and installation would need to cost no more than £3.90. You'd be hard pushed to get just an ordinary slab for that.
Getting energy from people walking is a fun experiment but it isn't a practical way to generate renewable electricity.

...and sadly many more items spend their days hidden our private attic museums, garages, spare bedrooms bedrooms! Hardly accessible to all?
Museums have rotating exhibitions and researchers can gain and do get access to museum collections not generally on public display all of the time, but why would we expect everything to be displayed all of the time? I have had access to many historical artifacts and documents that were not on public display in the course of book research.
I doubt there are many "home museums" where every item in ones collection is out on display all of the time even for an audience of one (and maybe one or two of our interested friends).

Though of course most of us post our collections online where they can be seen by who knows how many people for all time -or as long as such media survives-, which perhaps is better than sitting in a museum store or locked away in our spare rooms etc...
Museums are great places but in many cases they have too much to display and a lot of what we as collectors prize would not get to the display cabinet anyway.
Glad to see a lot of sensible posts on this subject as it could have turned into something else.
Whatever its just an opinion.

Very true, But...take the Smithsonian, for example, it has many Thousands of items and collections in it's possession that it no longer even has paper work for and in countless cases, it doesn't even know anymore just what all it even Has, tucked away and squirreled in it's many warehouses and cellars and subcellars. At one time, it was the fashion to donate your collections and treasures to the Smithsonian in your Will. The British Museum is in the same order. It, too, has Far more items in it's possession that cannot be disposed of that it cannot Possibly display-even if it actually Knew what all it even Had. Items from all over the World, long tucked away and forgotten. I don't imagine the donors of these long vanished treasures would have considered donating them if they had known they would end up turning to dust and crumbs nailed inside some old crusty wood crate in a warehouse somewhere. It's just my opinion, of course, but I believe these items would be far better off in private collectors hands being preserved and studied. For every item you see in a museum's glass case, there are legions of others that you do Not see and may well likely Never see.
"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
Whatever its just an opinion.
Of course, as has been pointed out, archaeological excavations must often include many artifacts that are unlikely to ever to see the light of day on general exhibition such is the nature of curated museum collections, the limitations of museum space and the mundane or commonplace aspects of some of the artifacts recovered.
But to equate the viewing of elements in our private collections online with a curated museum display is nonsensical IMO. For a start the forum images are most often just photos of part of a collection of "things" or just a "thing" with no accompanying academic research to provide any context for the "uneducated" online viewer, if education is the purpose of posting here. Unlike, for example, the online collection of the Imperial War Museum, and other national museums which have part of an online collection available, most posts on here are for either confirming that our own collections are worthy of collecting in the first place or sharing collecting knowledge to help fellow collectors collect.
I understand perfectly that many private collectors see their hobby as some kind of personal crusade to save history, preserve knowledge, etc but the key word in this is "private" and the rest is self-delusion. We collect whatever we do for our private edification and delight not for the benefit of other people although we may sometimes show off our collections to the chosen few on here, but this is at our personal behest.
Most of the national museums recognise the issue of donation hoards and have collection/donation policies in place that clearly state what the institution wants or is willing to add to its collection to stop unwanted donations being sent/accepted. Many also, if their organisations constitution permits it, sell-off unwanted artifacts and materials to help fund the running of the museum or the purchase of more relevant items to its collections policy. Museums are about the preservation of cultural history and education through its collections, they are not about collecting.

With another year of voting, National has won again. September the 20th 2014 was the day the New Zealanders went to vote for the general election. John Key is our National leader and David Cunliffe is the Labour party leader, just in case you didn't know that already.
People all over our country which is New Zealand, has been voting for either national or the labour party. Labour have been trying to win the party but, national are just too good and they have now won 3 years in a row.
This year I wanted labour to win (i'm not saying I wanted National to win previous years). I think they needed to win for once because they haven't won in a while. Labour is getting most of the votes and the opportunity to win, but sadly national won.
Overall, National won. I really think labour deserved to win but they didn't. National just have much more voters than labour does. I would be really happy if labour just wins for once and national lose. I'm not trying to be mean to national.

Hayley Phenix, at 19 years of age, is already taking the plumbing industry by storm, having won her regional heats at the National Young Apprentice of the Year Awards in February and marking her place in the history books as being the first female winner since the competition was launched six years ago.
Proof that there is a place for women in a male dominated trade, Hayley currently works alongside her father for his successful plumbing business, AMP Plumbing in Happisburgh, Norfolk.
In surprising contrast to her current job, Hayley had always dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. However, having not been offered any real career guidance at school and being told to first do her A-Levels before making any big career decisions, Hayley decided to study English A-Level.
Whilst studying, Hayley began to feel dissatisfied and craved a different vocation so she made the big decision to leave college.
This was by no means an easy step to take and her parents – whilst supportive of her decision – were quite firm in telling Hayley that she would need to find a job.
In the interim, Hayley went off to work with her father helping him out on jobs. She soon realised this was something that not only was she good at, but something she took great enjoyment from too. Hayley hasn't looked back since.
Hayley comments: "I didn't have any real career aspirations, I liked the idea of becoming a fashion designer but it wasn't a top priority. When I decided to take my A-Levels I chose English as I thought I enjoyed it but then in reality I really didn't. I wanted to drop out but my parents wouldn't let me unless I found a job and that's when I decided to go to work with my dad.
"I really enjoy plumbing.It's hands on, I'm always on the move and no day is ever the same. I go to college now and study for my apprenticeship and don't get treated differently to any of the boys on the course even though I am the only girl. I did meet some prejudices at first but I think that's down to shock that a girl is doing a plumbing apprenticeship as I suppose it is quite unusual!
"When I go on jobs with my dad people are sometimes shocked, but I actually receive a lot of positive comments with people saying things like 'it's nice to see a girl working in a trade' so it's really encouraging.
"I do think careers advisors need to make young people more aware of the opportunities out therefor them. I never would have considered plumbing if it wasn't for my dad so it would be really helpful if there was more information out there for young girls like me who perhaps don't want to go down the academic route."
Hayley has been an apprentice plumber for three years and is due to finish her apprenticeship next year where she will become fully qualified and continue working for the family business.

Africa has an age old history of production of traditional fermented foods and is perhaps the continent with the richest variety of lactic acid fermented foods. These foods have a large impact on the nutrition, health and socio-economy of the people of the continent, often plagued by war, drought, famine and disease.
In Northern Nigeria, Kindirmo, nono and warankasi are common fermented milk products. Kindirmo is prepared by fermenting cow milk and contains strains of lactic acid bacteria. Nono is the fermented skimmed milk that is prepared by the same procedure like kindirmo.
Warankasi is known among indigenous African consumers as cheese just as kindirmo and nono are considered as the equivalent of yoghurt.
In many parts of Nigeria, nursing mothers do give their babies ogi liquor (water from fermented cereal pulp) which is believed to cure. Medical experts found that ogi liquor, which contains a variety of organisms like Lactobacillus species, hinder the growth of common germs that cause diarrhoea in Southwest Nigeria.
Currently, there is the need for increase in intake of fermented foods, also known as probiotic foods that support health, above and beyond providing basic nutrition. Fermented foods, which contain probiotics such as local cheese, fufu, yoghurt, kunu, nono, ogi sour water, and fermented raffia palm sap? (oguro in Yoruba), can help alleviate anxiety.
Probiotics are live microorganisms – such as bacteria, yeasts and fungi – that in adequate amounts, may have health benefits. Found naturally in some fermented foods, and also available in tablet form, studies have shown they can improve digestion and help protect against disease by boosting immune function.
Strains of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium bacteria are the most commonly used probiotics, as they can survive the passage through your digestive system to the gut, including the highly acidic conditions of your stomach. These are mostly found in yoghurt, fermented soybean products like soy sauce as well as culture drinks such as fermented raffia palm wine.
A study by the University of Maryland, which found a link between fermented foods and social anxiety, indicated that individuals who had consumed more fermented foods had less anxiety in social situations.
Interestingly, the foods were said to favourably change the environment in the gut, and changes in the small intestine or gut in turn influence social anxiety.
Professor of Psychology, Matthew Hilimire, who led the research, said "it is absolutely fascinating that the micro-organisms in your gut can influence your mind."
Around 700 students were asked to complete a questionnaire about their eating habits, alongside a wider study on social anxiety and neuroticism. They answered questions about their consumption of fermented foods during the previous 30 days, as well as their levels of exercise and average consumption of fruit and vegetables.
For years, scientists have discovered that the small intestine, a host to more than 1,000 known different species of bacteria, play a key role in digestion, the body's defence against diseases and regulation of some diseases such as hypertension.
Experts in a new study found yogurt may cut down the chances of hypertension and stroke by six per cent. Each additional serving per week of skim or low-fat milk was associated with a two per cent lower risk of hypertension, suggesting that skim or low-fat dairy may delay symptoms but will not prevent the risk as individuals get older.
The study also found that consumption of one extra serving of yogurt or other fermented milk products per week meant a six per cent reduction in the risk of developing hypertension.
The study, titled Longitudinal Association of Dairy Consumption with the Changes in Blood Pressure and the Risk of Incident Hypertension: the Framingham Heart Study, was published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
Yogurt, above other products, may work better for reducing blood pressure and hypertension, as it features about 50 per cent more vitamins and minerals and 30 per cent more protein per 227grammes serving than milk does.
The health benefits of yogurt are numerous, as are its weight-loss benefits. In June 2011, the New England Journal of Medicine reported on research linking yogurt consumption with improved weight. The article reported on "Intriguing evidence which suggests that changes in colonic bacteria might influence weight gain."
A year earlier the British Journal of Nutrition found that the kinds of bacteria found in yogurt produced improvements in insulin sensitivity and inflammation.

Isn't it embarrassing how Santa ends up having the same wrapping paper like your mum and dad.
At CHRISTMAS, mother says to Little Johnny, "Go on and light up the CHRISTMAS tree Johnny."
Johnny runs off happily and comes back after a while, asking, "Should I light up the candles, too"
Where would Santa hide gifts for his elves?
In his clauset.
Fox News reported news of an unidentified flying object on CHRISTMAS Eve.
It was a U-F-ho-ho-ho.
Little girl wrote to Santa, asking him to give her a baby sister for CHRISTMAS.
Santa replied promptly, asking her to send her mother.
Where does Santa send the elves' wages?
To the snow bank.
Why do spies rarely enjoy the CHRISTMAS holidays?
They hate giving away their presence.
What is the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman?
How do we know Santa is a man?
No woman with an ounce of dignity would wear the same outfit for so many years running.
CHRISTMAS tip: Wrap empty boxes in CHRISTMAS wrapping paper. When your child misbehaves, toss one into the fire.
Why does Santa use reindeer to pull his sleigh?
Because huskies can't fly.
What would you call an elf who is an excellent swimmer?
An elfin.
"The holiday season: A deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice." Dave Berry
Walking down the street I wonder if at CHRISTMAS we celebrate the birth of Jesus, or of General Electric.
I heard elves love to sing when they work on children's toys. They are very good wrappers.

SET with KENNY DOPE + SHADED LIVE & CRISTOPH + Mario Dubbz at Halcyon.
Friday, December 16th
For VIP tables call 415 996 9822
Or email email@example.com
Halcyon, 314 11th Street
21+ 10pm - 4am
In an age of quick gratification and the instant attention switch, Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez is a name respected for both quality and consistency. Over the last 25 years, the four time Grammy-nominated DJ and producer has been astounding audiences across the world with his fusions of house, hip-hop, Latin, jazz, funk & soul, reggae, alternative pop and broken beats. By releasing literally thousands of original tracks and hundreds of remixes, Kenny has earned a reputation as a living encyclopedia of beats as both a solo artist, and as one-half of the legendary house duo, Masters At Work.
At an early age, Kenny began absorbing the hip-hop beats being played at local house and block parties in Sunset Park, Brooklyn where he grew up. He began his musical career as a buyer for a local record shop called WNR Music Center, where he broadened his musical knowledge and found his love of "diggin" for records. To date, Kenny's collection totals over 50,000 records.
In the late 80's, Mike Delgado, a good friend and partner of Kenny's, organized a series of parties under the alias Masters At Work which the two of them would play at. Brooklyn DJ/producer Todd Terry attended these parties, and soon after, Kenny would cut school to watch Todd work on beats and record with singers and rappers. The combination of working at the store, learning how records were produced, and being around creative people influenced Kenny to begin his own productions. He then met King Grand (Russell Cole) and the two formed a group called KAOS. In 1987, Kenny and Todd produced the group's album titled Courts In Session, which was released the next year on Gregg Fore's label Bad Boy Records.
Over time, Kenny had built up the Masters At Work brand from its party-origins, and in 1987 the club hits "Alright Alright" and "Dum Dum Cry" were released by Todd Terry under the Masters At Work name. In return for the releases, Todd introduced Kenny to "Little" Louie Vega, another talented young Bronx DJ. In 1990, Kenny and Louie officially began a creative partnership, appropriately dubbed Masters At Work (MAW), and their sound quickly became a force in the clubs. They were soon sought after by artists and labels, and eventually remixed everyone from Michael Jackson and Luther Vandross, to Madonna and Daft Punk. With Louie influenced by salsa, house and freestyle and Kenny by hip-hop and reggae, the two went on to become labeled by many as the most revolutionary house production team of the 90's.
In 1993, Kenny and Louie collaborated on a project called Nuyorican Soul, which was named after their heritage (Puerto Rican), residence (New York City), and style of music (Soul). During a MAW gig at the Southport Weekender festival in England, Kenny was inspired by the dancers in the jazz room and had an idea for a syncopated beat style of music, which he dubbed the "broken beat" style. Nuyorican Soul released its first single "The Nervous Track" on Nervous Records shortly after, which became the first broken beat record ever released. In this time frame, not only did Kenny collaborate with Louie on MAW projects, he also produced and remixed tracks in the hip-hop and reggae scene. "Get Up (Clap Your Hands)" and "The Madd Racket" were huge club tracks, and he also produced the Unreleased Project which featured Shaggy on the Gunshot" track.
Kenny's breakthrough as a solo artist came in 1995. One night, disheartened by the music that was being released throughout the business, Kenny went home and pulled out a series of classic records, and after three days he'd produced an entire album, The Bucketheads. This was a huge turning point for him, as one track on the album, "The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)" broke through the European pop charts and became his first major solo hit. Under different aliases, Kenny went on to release numerous projects on influential labels like Strictly Rhythm, Freeze, Nervous, Henry Street Records and TNT. Starting in 2000, and over the next decade, Kenny also went
on to create classic remixes for the likes of R. Kelly, Shirley Bassey, The Jackson 5, DJ Gregory, Aaliyah, Soul Fuzion, and Kanye West.
Alongside being a DJ and producer, Kenny also holds the title of record label owner. Frank Mendez of Nu Groove Records gave him his first label Dopewax, so that he'd have an outlet to release anything he wanted. Kenny kept the label going after Nu Groove closed its doors, and it's been a consistent outlet of house music to this day. Initially, the releases were primarily raw, tracky, beat records produced by Kenny. He then started going into the vocal side of things, and even released remixes of Kanye West and Jill Scott tracks on the label. Demos started to come in, and now Dopewax is open to other artists & producers along with Kenny's music.
Kenny has another label, Kay-Dee Records, which focuses on re-recording and releasing rare and classic music: everything from funk, soul & breaks, to gospel and movie soundtracks. It was initially born out of a challenge from Scottish DJ legend Keb Darge, who wanted to come up with a funk version of MAW's "The Nervous Track". Keb came back a short while later with "Nervous" by The New Mastersounds, which would be the first release on Kay-Dee. The idea for Kay-Dee then became to record new productions with classic recording techniques. Kenny sought out to find old masters and produce entirely new mixes of them. Not to remix, but to mix down the original and create new masters to give collectors and DJ's a completely new version. Kay-Dee Records is a true haven for those with a passion for rare "real" music, and a deep love for vinyl.
Aside from his own artist projects, Kenny has been a producer for a slew of other artists. For nearly fifteen years, he has produced music for R&B singer Raheem De Vaughn. Kenny produced eleven tracks on Raheem's 2011 album Love & War Masterpeace, which was Grammy-nominated for Best R&B Album Of The Year. Featured artists of those tracks include Ludacris, Wale, Damian Marley, Jill Scott and Anthony Hamilton. Two of Kenny's latest projects include producing rapper Rasheed Chappell's Future Before Nostalgia album, and also putting together a 12-piece funk & soul band called The Fantastic Souls.
Throughout his career, Kenny admits there were times when he wasn't inspired to create music because of what was dominating the new direction of sound. However, learning to listen without prejudice has allowed him to continue to discover new styles, artists and musicians, and keep his love for the music alive. Kenny stays inspired and motivated not by doing what he likes, but doing what he loves. This is what makes his music timeless. Look out for him on tour this summer in Ibiza and throughout the rest of the world, and for new upcoming releases on his Dopewax imprint.
"I like that fine line between precision and raw emotion. That place in space that is new and fresh, yet finely tuned for your listening pleasure. When those two elements come together and click, magic happens in the music, and that is what I strive for. So keep you ear lobes lubed and your eyes peeled because its time to get SHADED and faded''
Creating a completely unique and different style of music today, SHADED has a signature sound – a weaving combination of funky, psychedelic vibes and textures, making his sets something to remember. His sound is undeniable in character and is breathing new life into the techno house world.
Growing up in Newport Beach, California, he secluded himself in skating, surfing and music since a young age. His father, a musician and producer of classic rock, provided a pivotal role in creating his passion and drive for the raw and electric sound he loves to play today. Since 2006, his production style has constantly evolved whilst trying to stay true to his roots of groove laden, rock inspired minimal ''surf ''techno.
2012 was a big year for Skyler, it provided him the opportunity to develop and create his new solo career and moniker, SHADED. His previous success was as the duo SHDWPLAY, but his decision to go solo ultimately came from his desire for more creative and individual freedom.
As SHDWPLAY, the duo released four EPs on Dubfire's SCI+TEC Digital Audio Imprint, quickly becoming well-regarded staples in techno ranks around the world. Their unique sound, exemplified in cuts like 'Time Drip' and 'Drug of Choice,' were heard in DJ sets from Richie Hawtin to Dubfire himself, solidifying their presence in the electronic dance world and as official members of the SCI+TEC family.
This newfound recognition, coupled with the desire for creative individuality, prompted his decision to leave and to pursue his solo career. Since the creation of SHADED in 2012, he has been playing his LIVE sets worldwide from festivals in Mexico and Croatia to clubs in London, Berlin, and Brazil. From touring with the SCI + TEC family and playing along side Dubfire and Carlo Lio he has gained recognition throughout the industry as one of the top LIVE acts, exciting crowds with his brand of ''funkadelic'' techno. Through touring with SCI + TEC, fans and admiration for his style of music have grown considerably, leading to increased demand for his solo performances.
On SCI + TEC he has had multiple EP's in both the techno and minimal charts in 2012 and 2013 including the hit tracks ''Be My Binge'', ''Love Bug'' and ''This Is This''. His musical output has gained much respect from industry heavy weights including Dubfire, Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Tiga, Slam and Sasha.
This year his major noted release on SCI +TEC was the EP ''Dwell'' that reached #1 on the Top 100 Minimal Release charts via Beatport. After the success of ''Dwell'' he followed up with his most recent EP - ''SHE SHE'', his debut release on Tiga's Turbo Recordings in June 2014, solidifying his production versatility.
Well versed in exploring his own musical roots Cristoph isn't really a new producer—he's always been producing, even when nobody was listening.
Having now carved out a sound that is increasingly identifiable, the young producer avoids dance music's relentless march toward the new next thing by masterfully mediating through raw beats and textural trickery that gradually blurs the edges of genres; the focus on groove, mood and his typically intricate, hypnotic arrangements.
It's a common notion that artists must either be tragically ahead of their time or blissfully oblivious to it. Cristoph is keenly aware of this distinction and the gravelly warmth of his beats have allowed the Newcastle born producer to take welcome strides through labels such as Noir, Suara and Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound to become one of the most reliable yet exciting acts in the scene - upending every preconceived notion about what he should do next or succumbing to any single trend or genre.
There's both agelessness and versatility to his studio output that gives his 4/4 house productions points of triangulation rather than direct references, or risk of evoking direct nostalgia. So once you get rid of any feeling that you might be listening to something reminiscent of another time— admittedly, a feeling fueled by the fact that the golden era of real house music in the UK is when he first cut his teeth as a DJ—it's confidently replaced by the impact of hearing a professional doing his thing on what seems like a continuously rising curve.
Through remixes of Kaiserdisco, Jobe and the major label reworking of Elbow, Cristoph has established a high quality of consistency - peripheral details of melodic color and vocals are often pleasantly overwhelmed by the abstract throb of his ever-percussive, multi-tiered groove making him a turn to remixer for the dancefloor where his music stands on its own robust physicality.
As a listener If you come looking for house in its most obvious form, this decision seems puzzling, but if you're prepared to forgive Cristoph's need to challenge expectations and genres and simply lose yourself in the groove, then its easy to discover his involving engaging talent. The inaugural edition of conceptual album series "8-track" that bears his name on Knee Deep In Sound may be set to confuse those still stuck in a world where house music and techno are separated by propped-up dividers but it will indeed only serve to showcase his strength as a producer.
Now no stranger to the international club circuit, festival scene and record crates of his peers, 2016 is set to be a significantly prosperous year for him with key signings in the form of 'Genesis' EP to Adam Beyer's Truesoul and 'Divvina' to VIVa MUSiC. As a producer and DJ fixated on integrity, with influence equal part Windy and Motor city, Cristoph uses nostalgia like a slingshot, pulling back to the past as a means to shoot forth into the future.

I am by no means a "sneakerhead." I'm not Turtle. I've never waited in line for Fukijamas. But I have had my fair share of signature shoes over the years.
As I kid I can remember my first pair of basketball sneakers, they were Hakeem Olajuwon's, then I had some Shaq's, then I went on a mean streak of AI shoes, then Kobe's moon shoes and then Vince Carter's with those mean Raptor teeth down the sides… Got into high school and I can remember rocking these AWESOME cherry red T-Mac's… and then took a few year hiatus from the game before coming back strong with some American flag Kobe's last year for men's league basketball action.
So why did I take you on this epic journey through some ELCTRIC footwear of mine? Well, because yesterday, the Big Baller Brand (aka "BBB") dropped their first shoe line and it featured a sneaker for $495…
That is absolutely bonkers and Twitter had a field day roasting the new footwear brand. Here are some of my favorites:
I honestly can say I love the hate because Lavar is a jackass, but I also sort of respect the way they're trying to bypass the biggest brands in the game. Evidently they sold $2.5 million in sneakers in four hours. Hate Lavar for being an ass all you want, but starting your own shoe line and actually making it work is PRETTY boss.
RIP to When BBB Meant Something Completely Different,

On 31 January 2015, The Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015 (the "Regulations") came into force. The Regulations have revoked and replaced
the previous regulations relating to company and LLP names and trading disclosures.
The Government's aim is to reduce burdens on businesses,
remove unnecessary legislation from the statute book and to help companies grow.
The most significant change to the previous regulations is to extend the list of characters that can be used in a company name, to include accents, diacritical marks and ligatures. The previous regulations
required a company name to consist solely of letters from the Roman alphabet and a small number of additional characters.
The Regulations also make a change to the trading disclosure requirements. Companies will no longer have to ensure that the company name is 'displayed' at all times, whilst ensuring that the information
can be made available to anyone who wishes to see it.
Furthermore, the list of words and expressions which are to be ignored when considering whether a name is the 'same as' another has been changed. The names removed are "EXPORT", "GROUP", "HOLDINGS", "IMPORTS",
"INTERNATIONAL" and "SERVICES" along with all Gaelic and Welsh equivalents.
It is hoped that the changes will simplify the process and reduce the times that a company might have a proposed name rejected by the register. It is expected that the Regulations will be reviewed within
5 years from implementation.
Should you have any queries regarding registering or changing a company name, or incorporation generally, please contact Stephen Foster, Partner and Head of the Corporate and Commercial Department,
at email@example.com, or by telephoning 0161 833 9211.

You never know what you're going to find in the street when you live in a college town--recliners, sofas, desks, mattresses, lawn chairs... A lot of it is beat, but sometimes there are gems among the junk.
One Sunday morning last June, I left the house to go running. When I turned the corner, I couldn't believe the stash of "trash"in front of me. Half of the next block was lined with boxes, bags, and discarded items from mops and brooms to an artificial Christmas tree and a wooden clothes drying rack.
Anyone who knows me knows that I hate to stop in the middle of a run almost as much as I love to pick up junk. It was only 6:00 a.m., so I figured I would run my 4 miles and come back.
Maybe not. Just as I started to take off, a van pulled up along the curb.... Another early-morning Dumpster diver. We would have to share, and there would be no waiting until later.
It was worth it. I ended up with an almost-new Cuisinart blender:
I love thrift store bargains and yard sale deals. But free is the best.
