Has it really been a full month since I posted anything to this blog? Whoops. Dawn and I just got back from a two week trip to Norway (with short stops in Germany & the Netherlands) and the two weeks prior to that were chock full of flying, to say nothing of preparations for the trip. I'll be writing something aviation-related in the coming week, but in the meantime I'll share some of my favorite photos from the fjords and mountains of Norway.

Fact Sheet - Girls on the autism spectrum
Girls on the autism spectrum - extended version
What is the issue?
Far more boys than girls are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but the reasons for this are unclear. This fact sheet aims to:
- provide some information about the ratios of boys to girls with autism and Asperger syndrome
- highlight some of the research about the differences between males and females on the spectrum
- provide some insight into some of the theories that aim to explain the differences in numbers and presentation of boys and girls with ASD
What does the research say?
Facts and figures
Two findings about autism and gender differences have been relatively consistent across a range of research studies: that more boys than girls are diagnosed with ASD, and that girls who receive a diagnosis of ASD are generally more severe than boys with ASD. A large scale review of the literature[1] found an average ratio of boys to girls of 3.8:1 but noted that this ratio varied according to whether or not the individuals with autism also had an intellectual disability. An update of this work found ratios that ranged between 1.33:1 and 16:1[2].
Of note was the finding that the average male to female ratio in studies in which the students had an intellectual disability as well as ASD was only 1.9:1 while in studies of students without an intellectual disability the average ratio was 5.75:1. This means that among students with autism and an intellectual disability, there are just two boys for every girl diagnosed, while among those with high functioning autism, there are almost 6 boys for each girl. An important question, therefore, is: Why are there fewer girls diagnosed with high functioning autism?
Differences in profiles
There is little consensus among researchers about whether the profiles of boys and girls with autism are different, and if so, what these differences may be. Research in this area, therefore, is varied; some findings are as follows:
- Some studies have indicated that the overall developmental profiles of boys and girls are similar[3],[4]
- Several studies have suggested that boys and girls show differences in their autism profiles, with boys showing more features of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours, and girls showing more communication problems3.
- Other studies suggest associated features described by parents, such as attention and socialisation, along with concerns about depression and anxiety, are more often reported in girls[5],3.
- One small study examined the differences in the functions of disruptive behaviours in children with and without ASD and found that girls were more likely to exhibit behaviours with social functions than boys[6].
- A recent study[7] involving a large number of 10 – 12 year old children has provided more information about the differences in the profiles of boys and girls with ASD. This study found that there were similar levels of social and communication difficulties, but that boys displayed more characteristics of repetitive behaviour than girls.
- In addition, teachers reported higher levels of hyperactivity and inattention in boys while parents reported higher levels of emotional symptoms for girls7. A recent self-report survey of young adults with ASD in Australia that a higher proportion of females (83 per cent) than males (67 per cent) reported having a mental health condition[8]
- It is also suggested that the interests of girls with autism may be very similar to those of girls without autism, but that the quality and intensity of these interests are unusual[9].
A further complicating factor in describing differences between boys and girls is the age of the children being studied. In many studies, different age groups show different levels of skills and impairments. Another difficulty is that much of the research looks only at children from clinical populations who have already been diagnosed and/or who are accessing intervention4. This means that the group being studied might not be representative of children with ASD in the wider population, particularly if girls are being under recognised and not receiving a diagnosis.
These factors make it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the differences between boys and girls with autism, or to tell whether profile differences might lead to girls being under-diagnosed relative to boys. In the large study mentioned above7, parents of girls reported that their daughters had more difficulties (including internalising problems) than were reported by their teachers. The researchers suggest that it is unclear whether this means the symptoms shown by girls on the spectrum are more subtle, or whether girls are better at adapting and coping.
Similarly, it has also been found[10] that in the absence of additional intellectual or behavioural problems, girls were less likely than boys to meet diagnostic criteria for ASD at equivalently high levels of autistic-like traits. This might reflect gender bias in diagnosis or genuinely better adaptation/compensation in girls. It is possible that the presence of fewer repetitive behaviours, conventional (though intense) interests and fewer externalising behaviours contributes to the lower recognition of ASD in girls with this profile[11].
Proposed theories
There are many theories about why there are different numbers of boys and girls diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, though no theory has yet provided a full understanding of the differences that exist. Two of these theories are:
- Do gender norms and expectations play a role? Researchers5 have found that when higher functioning males and females performed similarly on clinical tests (such as the ADOS) females were rated by their parents as having worse social problems. They questioned whether the parents in the study had different expectations of boys and girls around social relationships and rated the girls worse (even though the girls and boys were similar when tested) because the girls' behaviours were further from what they expected the behaviour should be. It is possible, however, that as seen in a more recent study, parents may be more sensitive to the internalising problems seen in girls7 . It has also been suggested[12] that researchers and diagnosticians may not be paying enough attention to gender specific norms, meaning that girls with ASD may be compared with standards for boys' behaviour and socialisation, rather than behaviours that are typical for girls of the same age.
- Do girls have protective factors? A study of the IQ, social and communication skills of typically developing children was conducted[13] in order to look at mild social deficits across a large group of children. It was found that there were continuous mild social deficits across the IQ range but that girls with high verbal IQ were less likely to have social communication problems. There was, however, no such protective factor found for boys, suggesting that higher verbal IQ somehow gave girls a protective factor against social communication problems of the type seen in ASD. This theory might help explain why there are fewer girls with high IQ and diagnosed with ASD. Two recent studies7,10 also suggest that girls may display more coping skills than boys at a similar level of intelligence and autism severity.
In summary
There are far more boys than girls diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, particularly among those with high functioning autism and Asperger syndrome. Despite the research to date, it is unclear exactly what the differences are between boys and girls with ASD, why the differences occur and why there are fewer girls diagnosed with ASD. Recent research suggests that boys may display greater levels of repetitive behaviours and that girls may show more internalising difficulties such as anxiety. This may mean that boys are easier to identify and may be more likely to be referred for a diagnostic assessment than girls. Further research is needed in this area.

Counting: Book Two
It's been a week since a Christmas Eve blizzard changed the course of Marcus Winnamore's life. Plan A is now Plan B, and the first item on his new agenda is taking Henry Auttenberg on a date. They've been invited to a New Year's Eve party, and Marc is counting down the hours until midnight… until he can kiss Henry in front of his colleagues and friends.
Things don't quite work out to plan. Finding the elevator out of service, Marc and Henry check the stairs, only to choose the wrong door and become locked in the basement. Close quarters once again make for close conversation, and as they explore every avenue of escape, they also explore the deepening attraction between them. For Marc, this isn't an experiment. Will he still feel that way when he has to admit to someone other than Henry that he's gay?

EU Horizon 2020
Coordination: Prof. Dr. Gertraud Koch (Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften, Institut fuer Volkskunde/Kulturanthropologie)
Duration: 2018-2022
The Horizon 2020 Innovative Training Network POEM trains future experts for the heritage sector and studies participatory memory practices and digital heritage in Europe. POEM starts in April 2018 with the recruitment of early stage researchers for the 13 projects. Three of the 13 projects are being led by UHH. The project receives funding from the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie.
Participatory memory work is critical to understanding the inclusion of memories across nations and social situation (gender, wealth, education, migration) into institutional memory work and heritage building and thus to acknowledge them as a significant part of the history and contemporary life in Europe. Over four years, in 13 different projects will research participatory memory work, i.e. the strategies and practices of both public memory institutions, like libraries, archives, and museums, as well as individuals and diverse groups, who take advantage of digital technologies and social media to connect publicly, share materials, and participate in a socially inclusive way to remember or celebrate our cultural legacy, such as events, persons and ideas.
The innovative training network (ITN), called POEM, addresses the qualification of experts in the heritage sector who are competent for working with the mediatized memory ecology, the changing socio-technical, organisational, legal, economic, and ethical frameworks for the use of cultural materials in digital times. POEM will see UHH work with 6 European partner organisations, including University of Glasgow in the UK, Uppsala University in Sweden, Aarhus University in Denmark, University of Technology in Cyprus, and heritage experts such as the Museum Europischer Kulturen in Berlin, and Ashoka, civil society organization based in the UK. Support will also come from well-known international organizations and creative industries partners specializing in open knowledge, data and media literacy, social entrepreneurship and empowerment.
Funding comes from the European Union via Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), which supports high quality doctoral-level training and career development in and outside academia. As a European Training Network, the programme will train the next generation of researchers in methods necessary to make significant progress in understanding participatory memory work. The research and training will be structured around three themes to study how connectivities are built by institutions, people and groups, and by memory modalities for a socially inclusive, participatory heritage work and what facilitates or hinders collaboration.

text: High blood pressure High blood pressure isn't usually something that you can feel or notice, but if you have it you're more likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a stroke. TEST TEST 2 As many as 7 million people in the UK are living with undiagnosed high blood pressure, without knowing they are at risk. The only way to know whether you have high blood pressure is to have it measured. Everyone should know their blood pressure. We recommend that everyone over 40 gets their blood pressure taken by a nurse or doctor as part of a health check to assess their risk for getting cardiovascular disease. What is blood pressure? Put simply, blood pressure is the pressure of blood in your arteries - the vessels that carry your blood from your heart to your brain and the rest of your body. You need a certain amount of pressure to get the blood round your body. The pressure of the blood flowing through your arteries changes as your heart beats. The pressure in your arteries will be at its highest when your heart is contracting and pumping blood around your body and lowest as it relaxes while it fills with blood before pumping again. Find out more about how your heart works What is high blood pressure? High blood pressure – or hypertension – means that your blood pressure is consistently higher than the recommended level. High blood pressure is not usually something that you can feel or notice, but over time if it is not treated, your heart may become enlarged making your heart pump less effectively. This can lead to heart failure. Having high blood pressure increases your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. There isn't always an explanation for the cause of high blood pressure, but these can play a part: not doing enough physical activity being overweight or obese having too much salt in your diet regularly drinking too much alcohol or having a family history of high blood pressure. Even if you don't have high blood pressure, making some simple lifestyle changes may help prevent you developing it in the future. How does my GP know I have high blood pressure? Your doctor or nurse will take your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is 140/90mmHg or higher you will probably have to have this rechecked several times. Everyone's blood pressure varies during the day. Some people have a condition known as 'white coat hypertension' or 'white coat syndrome'. This is a condition where your blood pressure rises only because someone is taking your blood pressure, and not because you have an underlying medical problem. If you have white coat hypertension, your blood pressure will return to normal when your doctor or nurse stops taking it. It can be very difficult to diagnose and this is why you may need to have your blood pressure rechecked several times, or you may be sent home with a 24 hour blood pressure monitor. What do the numbers mean? TEST TEST Every blood pressure reading consists of two numbers or measurements. They are shown as one number on top of the other and measured in mmHg, which means millimetres of mercury. If your reading is 120/80mmHg, you might hear your doctor or nurse saying your blood pressure is "120 over 80". The first (or top) number represents the highest level your blood pressure reaches when your heart contracts and pumps blood through your arteries - your systolic blood pressure. An example might be 130mmHg. The second (or bottom) number represents the lowest level your blood pressure reaches as your heart relaxes between beats - your diastolic blood pressure. An example might be 75mmHg. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, your blood pressure should be below 140/90mmHg. If you have heart or circulatory disease, including being told you have coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack or stroke, or have diabetes or kidney disease, then it is usually recommended that your blood pressure should be below 130/80mmHg. What can I do to reduce my blood pressure? If your doctor or nurse says you have high blood pressure, they are likely to encourage you to make some lifestyle changes to help reduce it. This may include increasing your physical activity, losing weight, reducing the salt in your diet, cutting down on alcohol and eating a balanced, healthy diet. If your blood pressure is very high or these lifestyle changes do not reduce it enough, your doctor is likely to prescribe you medication to control it and to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. If you are already being treated for high blood pressure and have any concerns about it, you should make an appointment with your GP. Do not stop taking your medication unless your GP tells you to.

See below for our predictions for tomorrow night's WEC 50 event which takes place at The Palms in Las Vegas.
Main Card:
Dominic Cruz Vs Joseph Benavidez
Dominic Cruz emerged victorious in his first encounter with Joseph Benavidez last year, but I like what Benavidez has been doing since that fight and I believe he will come into this fight better prepared to deal with Cruz's unique style.
It will be difficult for Benavidez to know exactly how well his preparations have worked until he gets into the cage with Cruz though since the champion's style is so difficult to mimic. I think he'll have more success than last time, but ultimately will still come up short against Cruz.
I'm taking Dominick Cruz to win by decision.
Anthony Pettis Vs Shane Roller
This is a very interesting encounter that could establish the next title contender at 155lbs. It's hard not to favor the wrestler Shane Roller to get his way here, but Anthony Pettis brings a threat standing and on the ground which should make this a fun fight.
Shane Roller to win by decision.
Chad Mendes Vs Cub Swanson
This is certainly Chad Mendes toughest test to date, up against Cub Swanson who should have the striking advantage here, though it's his submission prowess which could be his greatest weapon here since Mendes will be looking to use his wrestling to take this fight to the floor and dominate from top control.
I'm taking Mendes to live up to the hype and get the decision victory.
Chad Mendes to win by decision.
Scott Jorgensen Vs Brad Pickett
The UK's Brad Pickett is a great character and a very game and scrappy fighter, but Scott Jorgensen is on fire at the moment and I think he'll come out on top in what should be a contender for Fight Of The Night.
Scott Jorgensen to win by decision.
Bart Palaszewski Vs Zach Micklewright
Zach Micklewright is seven fights unbeaten in his MMA career, and I believe his heavy-handed striking could produce a minor upset here against the more experienced Bart Palaszewski.
Zach Micklewright to win by TKO in Rd2.
Prelims: (Predicted winner in bold)
Mackens Semerzier vs. Javier Vazquez
Maciej Jewtuszko vs. Anthony Njokuani
Dave Jansen vs. Ricardo Lamas
Bryan Caraway vs. Fredson Paixao
Danny Castillo vs. Dustin Poirier

Everything was great!
I would like to express my utmost thanks and gratitude to all of the staff at Crown Cosma Clinic. I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received.
From the moment I contacted to enquire about the procedure, the staff were informative and knowledgeable and quickly addressed any concerns I had. Afshan was extremely friendly and helpful and made me feel so comfortable at all times. My initial consultation was nerve wrecking for me, but any concerns were quickly put to rest by Dr Shahmalak - he is an amazingly compassionate and empathetic man and I had complete faith in him from the moment I met him.
After meeting him, there was only ever one place I was going to have this procedure done.
The surgery was pain free and the girls who work with Dr Shahmalak are also amazingly friendly and professional. I was so relaxed throughout the procedure because of the friendliness and conversation of the staff.
The facilities at the clinic were exemplary and could not be faulted.
10 days after the procedure, I returned to see Dr Shahmalak, who of course, was his amazingly friendly welcoming self - and professional at all times.
I cannot fault the service that I received - it was fantastic and now I look forward to seeing the results. I left the clinic assured that I could contact the staff at any time and they would answer any questions that I may have.
Many, many thanks to Dr Shahmalak, Afshan Shafi and the fantastic team that make up the Crown Cosma Clinic.
I am delighted I chose the Crown Clinic to carry out my FUE hair transplant. Dr Shahmalak & his staff are a highly skilled, very caring, friendly and professional team. From the initial consultation, where the procedure was clearly and realistically explained to the post-op recovery, I am extremely happy with how things have gone.
On the day of the surgery Dr Shahmalak and the team could not have done more to make me feel comfortable and at ease. The procedure was done very gently, with great care and with no pain to speak of. I woul dgladly recommend the Crown Clinic without hesitation.
Thank you again to all at Crown Clinic.
Following a prompt, professional and informative consultation at Harley Street, I was immediately given the confidence to book my 3000 FUT procedure with the Cosma Clinic. Being able to have the consultation with Mr Shahmalak was important to me as other clinics were only offering consultations with a patient co-ordinator.
The professionalism of Afshan (the patient co-ordinator) also put me at ease once the procedure was booked, answering any questions that I had. The day of the procedure I was a little nervou but was put completely at ease by the friendly, caring & professional nature of the girls at Crown Cosma Clinic. Mr Shahmalak took me through the whole procedure beforehand and checked to see if I had any final questions. From here on in the girls and Mr Shahmalak took very good care of me checking at all times that I was in no pain or discomfort. Breaks and lunch were all timetabled where food and drink were all arranged in my private room.
Mr Shahmalak and his team of girls were as attentive, friendly and professional at the end of the day as they were when I arrived, even after the 7 hour procedure.
The clinic is modern and spotlessly clean with a professioanl and friendly atmosphere and I would have no hesitation in returning for a second procedure. A special mention to Rosa who's humour kept me smiling even during the procedure. i am now on day 4 after the procedure. I have had no swelling, bruising and only mild discomfort rather than pain. I am very pleased with the results so far.
Thanks again
All in all a great experience. Everyone involved was kind and patient, explaining all my questions.
Recovery has taken longer thank I'd hoped, but all seems well. Looking forward very much to my own hairs growing through.
I would certainly recommend this surgery and especially Crown Clinic to anyone who desires fuller brows.
From my first phone call to my leaving after surgery I was treated like a friend rather than a patient. Had a wonderful experience with the Crown Clinic from start to finish. Lovely team fantastic at there profession, very friendly, reassuring, helpful right through my procedure.
I honestly couldn't have asked for more in any aspect. I'm thrilled with my initial results and see myself looking back at me in the mirror for the first time in seven years!!!
It was actually a very enjoyable day considering I was having surgery
Fantastic thanks to everybody at the Crown you're all great
My experience at Crown Cosma Clinic was a very positive one, and one that I would recommend. Mr Shahmalak, and his team, were caring, friendly & professional during all three of my visits. From my initial meeting with Mr Shahmalak, I felt I could trust him & that I was in good hands. He proved this to be true, by providing me with an efficient procedure & aftercare.
I found the staff very good. They took good care of my needs throughout the 8 hours I was in their hands, and the Surgeon was also very good with a relaxed manner but at the same time very professional at all times while putting me at ease.
I felt very happy and confident going into the surgery because of the one to one consultation in London and the professional environment where the surgery was carried out. The team in Manchester were all very kind and helpful, and provided me with many kit-kats in the breaks!
I was reassured that post surgery I could contact Mr Shahmalak at any time to ask any questions I may have. The use of the iPad was a great distraction over the two days and I recommend it to the other patients in the future.
From the initial consultation through to surgery and post surgery the care, attention and overall experience was Excellent! The whole team looked after me from the moment I arrived until I left.
A very special mention to Mr Shahmalak and to Afshan. The communication, skill and care from Mr Shahmalak was fantastic and the constant reassurance from him and his team helped so much!
The weeks leading up to my surgery Afshan was very helpful, understanding and played a BIG part in making this all possible.
A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE at the Crown Cosma Clinic. You were all brilliant to me. I shall without doubt recommend you.
Take care.

Marble Composition
I was about to have a meeting, and the guy I was meeting with had lost his notebook. I asked him what it looked like, and he said it had a marbled pattern. As soon as he found it I realized why composition books look like my kitchen counter.
We used to write on stone, then wrote on paper, then made paper look like stone, so making stone look like paper should close the loop.

This tire performed very well in deep snow (2 feet +) and great on wet roads. Supper quiet, soft ride, will have to wait to see how well they wear. Overall a great tire.

I have over 104,000 miles on these tires first at my wear bars. Purchased in 2011.
Have always loved Firestone even on my cars.

Outstanding tires. Bought a set of four three years and 70,000 miles ago. Smooth and quiet with excellent performance. Will replace all four with the same tire this month. Very pleased with product and the price. I have rotated the tires regularly.

Had these approximately a month. After initially getting them on, there was considerable vibration in the vehicle and steering wheel. Took back to a different shop than I bought them at and found out all 4 wheels were not properly balanced at the first shop I used. It took most of the vibration out, but still not riding the best. Seem to wonder going down the road. Not happy with these at all. Would not buy again.

These tires are just what I was looking for.I haven't run them in snow yet but am sure from the way they have worked so far that the tread design will handle that OK too.I wanted a tire that would handle all conditions without a lot of road noise and am very happy so far.
4.45 out of 5Submitted by Liz in Florida on 11/18/2014(2005 Toyota Highlander Base)
I just bought these today 11/18/14 and the change in the driving is fantastic. The handling is tighter, it rides so much smoother, and in the rain today there was tighter traction on the road. Turning corners it felt much stiffer to hold the turn and road than my older tires. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Really good tire. Very little towing so this tire is great for travel.

I purchased a van with Michelin tires, and was happy with them. When they needed to be replaced, I wasn't sure the Destination LE2 was going to be as good. I left for a trip in the mountains during the early snow season, and these tires were fantastic! Great traction, even in wet/slick pavement. The ride was quiet and safe. Love the tires!

These are the best tires I have ever bought. They are well worth the price.
5 out of 5Submitted by Rob in Idaho on 7/25/2014(2002 Jeep Trucks Liberty Limited)
We moved to Idaho at the very end of October 2013. I hated the tires on the Liberty (B*G Long Trail), for anything other than bare/dry. Still had way more than 1/2 tread. Bought a set of Blizzaks. Perfect for the winter, due to snow and running up the mountain to the ski area. Never used 4x4. But they caught the grooves in the highway badly. As soon as it warmed up, grabbed a set of these Destination LE2s.
Didn't use them in snow. They look good, great in rain/slop, quiet and grippy without catching the grooves. Balanced with VERY little weight. But I don't know if I'm even gonna put them on this winter. Had the original Destination LEs on a Yukon. The LE2 is NOT that squishy tire. These are much improved. Not all the roads we use are paved. No issues, and they self clean quite well. The voids do hang on to small pebbles sometimes, but nothing bad. I would put this tire on any car, CUV or SUV, as long as heavy towing wasn't an issue. They are a 107T. If they made this in a 120 or 123 "E," I'd likely buy another set for the F-250. I don't usually give 5s. This tire is a 5. I'm surprised it doesn't have a mountain and a snowflake on the sidewall. Oh. and it's made in the US in my size, 235/70R16. Most sizes are US, then Canada, a couple Mexico, pizza cutters (skinny) mostly.
I'm fussy about tires. I'd rather spend more than worry. With the Destination LE2, I don't have to do either.
Oh, and I swore I'd never buy another Firestone tire in 1972, unless it came on a new car. Then I'd change them, which I did. I was wrong.

Great tire with low noise and good wear. Have driven about 10,000 miles and tread is still great.
5 out of 5Submitted by Steve in Connecticut on 2/24/2014(2007 Toyota Trucks RAV4 Base)
This tire was recommended by the salesman but was quite a bit more money than I wanted to spend. Based on salesman, I decided to purchase 4 tires and I would say these tires have performed better than the original tire that came with the vehicle. I have put on approx 15k miles and just love these tires. I will definitely buy them again and recommend to others.

For the most part, I liked the tires; however, after about 9 months, the skin on the outside of the tire is coming off. That's right, the rubber skin is starting to shed like a snake.

By Dr. Bill Bosher, NBC12 Educational Specialist
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - This is an exciting time of the year... young people are heading back to school. Some are experiencing the anxiety of leaving the security of home, while others are returning with a sense of confidence and excitement.
What should we as parents say to them as they launch into a new year?
Be careful of the friends that you select because "you will be judged by the company that you keep". Show deference to adults because they deserve to be respected no matter what position they might have or clothes that they might wear. Be sure to eat all of your lunch because you need your nutrition… and remember that starving young people around the world who would love to have what you have.
Study hard because, not unlike your Mom and Dad, this is your job and your grades are your compensation. Pay attention in class because the teacher deserves your respect and your effort will determine how well you do.
Behave yourself. When you are in school, the way that you act and speak represents you and your family. Do not say or do anything that you would not want to do or say in front of your parents. Know that there are always consequences for your behavior.
Play fairly with others because your classmates will know your values by the way you treat them. Don't borrow or loan anything because you need to be a careful steward of what you have. Be respectful of other people's things.
When you get on a bus, take care to sit with those that you know and show respect for the driver.
Remember that your Mom and Dad love you and support you while our expectations for you are high. Keep clean, wash your hands, and don't eat with your mouth open. And remember, we will always have your room ready for you when you come home from college.

The Youth Hostel Association (YHA) at Sherwood Forest is one of 107 youth hostels throughout England and Wales that will be throwing its doors open to the community next month as part of its annual celebrations for YHA Day
The special event, on Sunday, September 6, will provide the local community, passing walkers and cyclists the opportunity to come inside and see what YHA Sherwood Forest has to offer.
As well as learning about the modern face of youth hostelling, there will be a special offer for visitors to YHA Sherwood Forest with a 50 per cent discount on annual membership of YHA (England and Wales).
"We are really looking forward to YHA Day 2015 and welcoming people to the youth hostel," said Neil Baldwin, operations manager of YHA Sherwood Forest.
"We're keen to show people that you don't have to be YHA Member to use the facilities here.
"In the spirit of YHA, we're open to everyone, whether they want to come and experience the activities the hostel has to offer, hire a room for a meeting or even volunteer their time to help maintain the fantastic facilities we have here."
YHA Day is also a major celebration for the charity's 85th birthday, which not only provides outstanding accommodation and learning experiences for young people and their families, but also fantastic outdoor space and room hire, all of which are accessible to non-members.
Importantly, as well as fund-raising, YHA Day 2015 is also designed to raise awareness of the 85-year young charity and the dramatic image change it has had in recent years.
Gone are the days of draughty dormitories, sheet sleeping bags and chores – youth hostels today couldn't be more different,.
With more than £34 million invested in the network during the last 10 years, many youth hostels now boast contemporary-styled interiors, private en-suite family rooms, camping facilities, restaurants and bars with some even having honeymoon suites – and you don't have to be a YHA member to stay.
Details of all events being held on YHA Day 2015 can be found at www.yha.org.uk/yha-day

The huge turbo diesel engine lets us reach more than 90 kph, which is about 50 knots causing you a huge adrenalin rush, for sure! All you have to do is sit down, hold on tight and wait for the fun to begin. After the activity, photos and a DVD of your tour will be available for purchase.

After two days of perfect weather, the wind had picked up and the clouds have blocked the sun. The sea doesn't exactly look angry, but I'd say it's mildly perturbed. Waves that looked cute crashing on the rocks behind the Beach Party Stage on Friday don't seem so tame anymore.
At 4 p.m., the Beach Party area is nearly deserted. I hate to see this, because Beach Party is the closest thing to a replacement for the old B-boy hip-hop area that has been discontinued, but I've got to admit that the indoor stages are looking like an attractive option right now.
There has been good hip-hop at the Bamboozle this year - just not as much of it as there was in 2011, when Pusha T, Freddie Gibbs, and Wiz Khalifa all played the festival. Yesterday the beach was so crowded that it was a challenge to get from the mainstage to the Beach Party area.
I caught the end of Iggy Azalea, a tall blond Australian emcee infatuated with the sound and themes of Southern hip-hop. To her credit, she's not just playing off the incongruity -- she's a good shrill-voiced rapper with lots of creative obscenity for her listeners. She was followed on the Beach Party stage by another anomaly: Action Bronson, a red-bearded rhyme-spitter proud of his talent, his self-proclaimed "Harvard mind," and his colossal belly. Bronson, who is a hellaciously entertaining emcee with punchlines that are actually funny, claimed onstage that drugs are the official sponsor of the festival, and asked for a round of applause for drugs.
He rhymed incessantly about food, and eating, and did so with the authority and broad range of tastes of a celebrity chef. In one of his couplets -- delivered during a beat drop for special emphasis -- he asked that we don't compare him to Ghostface. Okay, Action, you're nothing like Ghostface. Wink, wink. A little Flavor Flav thrown in there, too.
A$AP Rocky, a Harlem emcee, took the Beach Party stage (along with his entire A$AP crew) shortly after Bronson finished. A$AP is New York's current great hope: a charismatic kid who just might take the initiative back from the Southern and Midwestern rhymers who've been setting the pace for the last few years. His onstage confidence is appealing -- and as he's lately been the beneficiary of some sterling production, he was able to back up his swagger with an engaging, intelligent set. We'll be hearing plenty from him in the next twelve months or so.

One of the many reasons why communications experts are needed by today's organizations is that employees, managers and CEOs are busy doing their own job. They are busy doing the technical things. They are busy managing people and they are busy running the company. They are so busy with their individual or group tasks that they need someone like communications experts to connect them to one another and to connect what they are doing to the outside environment. They need people to tell the external environment the kind of products they are developing and the ideas they are coming up with. Organizations need to inform the world. Organizations are busy with their operations and they need to connect with the ones whom they are working hard for. This is why organizations need communications experts like us.
There are a lot opportunities out there to communicate and connect with the organization's stakeholders. With New Social Media around, we are provided with tools which if maximized can be really helpful to our brands. Maximizing does not mean using all of these social media. One should always remember the audience, the purpose and the possible effects before deciding on the type of NSM is to use. Maximizing means exploring every possible feature of the appropriate tools/ social media to reach these stakeholders. It also implies combining these modern tools with the traditional ones whenever necessary. We should not also forget the purpose of this new kind of tool which is to engage people and be engaged as well. As we apply what we have learned about new social media and organizations, we should not forget the values and the lessons that were taught by the case studies, by our professor, by this blogging activity and by our class interactions. We should not forget because next year, we might be needing them already. The tools today might be different and these will surely keep on evolving but the same ethical principles still apply. DON'T LIE, BE TRANSPARENT AND RESPECT OTHERS. Actually, these values are the same values we were taught in kindergarten. These values will guide us not only in our online interactions but in our life's journey as well.
I believe we're ready for our first year in the corporate world!

Following her arrival in New York in 1913, Bridget Mulvanerty married Maxwell Stadler. The marriage apparently occurred after 12 Sep 1918 (when Maxwell listed his father as his nearest living relative on his registration for the WW I draft), and before 1 Jan 1920 (the date for the 1920 census where Maxwell and Bridget were listed as married).
Sometimes there are romantic stories about where couples met or courted. This isn't one of them. The earliest I've found Maxwell and Bridget together is at the State Hospital for the Insane, Norristown, Pennsylvania. On the plus side, they were not patients -- Maxwell was an attendant and Bridget was a nurse (see the census, lines 38-39). By this time Bridget had changed her first name and was going by Beatrice, too. Maxwell and Beatrice probably left Pennsylvania soon after the 1920 census because their first child, Maxwell Jr., was born in Rhode Island about 1920 and their daughter Beatrice was born about a couple of years later.
Eventually Beatrice married Alfred Joseph Ford, Sr. in Worcester Massachusetts. Beatrice and Maxwell had divorced (her ex-husband continued to be listed in city directories as living in Providence, Rhode Island, from 1923 through at least 1932). I don't know what became of him after 1932.
Maxwell Sr. identified his father as John Stadler in his draft registration. The family can be seen here in the 1910 census (lines 5-9). John's wife in the census is not Maxwell's mother: the marriage is listed as John's second and they've been married 7 years, but Maxwell is 12 years old. Maxwell's biological mother is identified on his birth registration record from 29 Mar 1898 in East Freetown, Massachusetts as Mina.
On all his census records John Stadler is listed as having been born in Germany, and the 1920 census says Baden specifically. One census says he immigrated in 1879, another 1880, and that he was naturalized in 1904. Although I haven't found his initial immigration, I have found a record of what apparently is the family returning from Bremen, Germany 1 April 1902 to the US. This ships passenger list shows Johann Stadler with two kids, Adolf and Max. Johann is the right age to be John Stadler, and also the right occupation (farmer). Max is the right age to be Maxwell, and is noted as a US citizen. They are listed as returning home, so perhaps they had been on a trip to visit relatives in Germany. Alternatively, perhaps the reason I haven't been able to find the family in the 1900 census is because they were in Germany from 1900 until this return: maybe after Mina died Johann returned to Germany with his young sons and only came back to the US in 1902 when Maxwell was no longer an infant. Below is a picture of the ship the family took when returning to the US, the Batavia.

I am an affiliate marketing manager by day. I figure, I can offer some help to people looking to make a few extra bucks.
Affiliate marketing is known as performance marketing. Basically, you partner up with a merchant to sell their product. In return, the merchant gives you a revenue share (commission) or a flat fee.
The easiest way to start is to create a blog and write about something you are passionate about. If you don't know what a blog is, you're on one. This is my blog. If you are serious about it, I would purchase my own custom domain, "www.yoursite.com" , and maybe a small hosting plan.
I recommend Blue Host because they have wordpress, a blogging software, already built in. They also include 1 free domain registry for free. Click below to go to their site.
For $6.95 a month, they offer a lot.
We'll cover monetizing your site in the next part.

Pride and Passion: The African-American Baseball Experience
This nationally traveling exhibition examines the challenges faced by African-American baseball players as they sought equal opportunities in their sport beginning in the post-Civil War era, through integration of the major leagues in the mid-20th century. The exhibit was organized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and the American Library Association, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life. The Louisville Free Public Library hosted Pride and Passion from June 20 - August 3, 2012.

Evolving from our Spring/Summer 2017 Colour Spectrum, we examine the key hues for our S/S 17 Product Design Directions – Rational, Contour and Hybrid.
The bold shades and graphic applications of Rational's palette reflect the direction's functional approach to colour, while Contour takes a softer approach, with pale neutrals and whitened hues denoting its calm and comforting outlook. Synthetic brights and coloured metallics are balanced with earthy tones in the Hybrid colour story, highlighting the tension between its opposing artificial and organic influences.

Can you believe I've never read this book before? This Newbery winner is a heavy hitter, well-known and well-loved by the generation that grew up with it. Except me. But now I see why it has such a reputation.
Claudia Kincade is a sixth grader who is so unhappy with the routine of her life that she decides to shake things up. She recruits her third grade—and rich—brother and runs away to the Metropolitan Museum in New York. (My only critique is that brother Jamie seems much older than nine.) At first it's all about the adventure: stashing their bags in a sarcophagus, hiding in the public bathroom after visiting hours, sleeping in a display bed from the 1600's, rationing their money, and bathing in the fountain. But Claudia doesn't really like to be uncomfortable, and she misses the clean smell of freshly washed laundry. The constant hunger gets tiresome as well.
Then the children discover Angel, a small marble statue that may or may not have been sculpted by Renaissance great Michaelangelo. It's under investigation by the museum experts. Claudia becomes fascinated with the statue. She has to find out the truth about it. As she searches, she also learns that her running away, her seeking, wasn't really about the adventure at all. It was about finding out what makes her Claudia.
From the Mixed-up Files is beautifully written, thought provoking, and fun. I loved the adventure. I would have been all about hiding out in a museum for a week when I was a kid. (It's still a little tempting now.) But as an adult, I really got on board with the conflict raging within Claudia. In a large family, she wants to feel special. She wants to know she's an important individual. She does find out what makes her unique, but her search becomes as important as the answers. I just wouldn't recommend her methods. Ages 9+
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, by E. L. Konigsburg, 1967

Discussion in 'Politics' started by omegapoint, Mar 21, 2011.
yea, I plagiarized it. funny though.
did she actually say that or are you just making shit up?
And Biden told a guy in a wheel chair to stand up. Odumbo claimed to have visited 57 states with one to go. That same idiot can't pronounce corpsman and thought Austrian is a language.
So what was your point again?
I was looking for a link to that, too, but instead came across Rush's comments on Japanese recycling. Jesus, that man...
I like Palin, cos she hates muslim terrorist and loves Israel.
you were Quickdraw's sidekick right? Just guessin.
Yea, I know.
I heard that the Tsoo-namians are Muslims!

Publisher's Description
When your VPN connection is terminated every program at your computer is running unsecured with your normal IP address unless you are reconnected to your VPN service again. But sometimes the VPN service isn't able to reconnect and applications might run for hours without VPN security. VPNetMon monitors your VPN connection and simply closes the application of your choice when the VPN connection is down. If closing the application is not possible it will kill the application process the hard way.

I realise I am late to the party on this one, but a fascinating article (and further links for the time-rich) from the Guardian about a Canadian pastor who has embraced the title of atheist.
"I do not believe in a theistic, supernatural being called God," says Gretta Vosper, the United Church of Canada minister who has led West Hill since 1997. "I don't believe in what I think 99.99% of the world thinks you mean when you use that word." Tor her, God is instead a metaphor for goodness and a life lived with compassion and justice.The ecclesiastical ruptures Gretta Vosper has and is causing are on thing, but her relative success in forming a community as an atheist pastor is also worth noting:
Some, such as Eve Casavant, 44, recently started attending West Hill after hearing about Vosper among atheist circles. She was delighted to find the same sort of church she had been raised in, save the burden of belief. "It's like that sense of community without the barriers," she says. "It's a beautiful thing and it is too bad it's not being as embraced as it should be."Speaking from my own experience, you would be surprised how many people go to church primarily for the community, rather than for belief in God. On the other hand, it is well documented how many God-believers now seldom darken the doors of a church. The real kicker though, is this,
Stripped of God and the Bible, services here are light on religious doctrine and instead emphasise moral teachings. The service begins with a nod to the First Nations land on which the church stands and goes on to mention human rights in Saudi Arabia, Syria and Palestine. Global concern is coupled with community-building, with members invited to share significant moments of the past week.The idea that the way to moral action on social, environmental and historical issues is through atheism is a real challenge to us God-botherers. How often does Christian piety become an insulation from the pain of the world? Matthew 5:20 could well be re-written for us as
For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Atheists and the Unbelievers, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Pictured above: French-milled soaps for your A-List Baby from Noodle & Boo.com. Just another one of the "premium" type bath and body to expect in 2008.
Keeping up with consumer trends is essential to building a profitable product line for your E-Biz. Rarely do trends pop out of nowhere. In most cases, they are a blending of mulitple trends that merge into the next big trend. Statistics show that the annual income of an online shopper is $75,000 plus, with many more millionaires taking the online leap.
Begin to study magazine ads and read trade articles; look at what is currently hot, start to analyze and sharpen your skills to spot new trends that will give rise to new products within your industry. Ultimately, the goal of trend watching is to explore new ideas that will lead to profitable product innovations. Here are three trends I see for 2008.
1) The Premiumization of everything and anything. No product will escape a premium version in the next 12 months. With money to burn, more and more consumers will be looking for quick status fixes derived from premium products.
A great example of this trend is represented by The Laundress. Lindsey Wieber and Gwen Whiting, co-founders of The Laundress™, created this luxury fabric care and specialty detergent line to take the chore out of laundry. They saw the necessity of properly caring for their clothing and homes, but were not able to find products on the market that met their standards of delicacy, fragrance and sophistication. This propelled these entrepreneurs to design a luxurious brand of detergents and fabric care with their own uniquely developed fragrances.
Expect to find the same trend with lotions, shower gels, soaps, and other bath and body products. Start looking for ways that you can "Premiumize" your current product line or, develop new lines that are a step beyond the average. and then market them as up-scale, sophisticated bath and body products.
2) Eco Status Sphere is not stopping in 2008. In fact, expect to see trends for both green and blue. Consumers will continue to seek out products that are organic and ego-friendly. Consider using bath and body containers that can be recycled or refilled. Products geared toward fitness and outdoor living will continue to grow. Foot and hand care, body soaks, lip balms are all products that can be developed to greenify the life's of a ego-conscious consumer.
3) Expect online sub-cultures like Face Book and My Space to begin dominating the advertising and selling world. Do-It-Yourself and Make-It-Yourself will continue to emerge from this thriving online sub-culture.
CafePress.com is already offering this type of online platform, but you will begin to see FaceBook and MySpace users doing the same. The days of offering a limited number of choices to online customers, is becoming a thing of the past.
A make your own "virtual" bath and body product web site may be something to consider. Generation C is here to stay. What is Generation C? The Wikopedia definition: People who use the web to create user generated content and participate in the co-creation of products and services.
As 2007 comes to a close, I wish each of you great success in your 2008 business ventures. GoPlanetEarth.com will continue to supply you with products that will help you reach your goals. As the owner, I sincerely thank each and every one of you for your continued business and support. So many of you have become like family to us. We look forward to servicing your soap making needs in 2008.
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you!
Denise & the GoPlanet Team

" The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic
Just because the body is rotten—
That is all fantasy.
What is found now is found then.
If you find nothing now,
You will simply end up with an empty apartment in the City of Death.

Writing, SEO Writing, Content Marketing, and Inbound Marketing with Karen Cioffi
How and Why to Guest Post
Guest posting can be a very rewarding experience, believe it or not. You would think that writing for other people's blogs would be boring or frustrating, but, on the contrary, it is actually useful and fulfilling. After all, how many times have you wished to branch out and write something that didn't fit with the theme of your blog? How many times did you think: 'I wish there was a better way to drive traffic to my blog'? Well, with guest posting, you get the best of both worlds.
• You get to write fun, new stuff – Let's say your blog is about flowers, but you really love purses as well. Unfortunately, your blog just won't take a post about purses. However, your friend's blog is all about them. Tada! A perfect opportunity.
• You get links back to your blog-Which brings your blog up higher in Google rankings. Instantly, you'll get more hits to your site.
• You get more readers – More hits equal more readers, and who doesn't love that?
• You get more exposure – With these readers on her blog and on yours, you get increased exposure, which means still more readers coming in!
Now we get down to the nitty gritty. This all sounds great, but how do I start guest posting? I've never done anything like this before! Well, it is actually very simple. There are just a few steps to successful guest posting.
1. Contact bloggers you love to read – If you love to read it, chances are you share similar tastes. The blogger would probably love a break and a fresh set of eyes on her blog, and would be more than willing to share her readers. It is a win win!
2. Ask if they will allow you to write a guest post – Guest posts are great for both of you. They get free content they didn't have to write, and you get more readers without taking away any of theirs. Tell them all about the positives and they'll be bound to allow you to post.
3. Give them a choice of topics you can write on - If you can, make a connection between your blog and theirs. Maybe you can write about using purses as vases for flowers, or three floral printed purses every woman must own, or something that makes a connection between your focus and theirs. That way, the readers will understand what you have to offer and you'll get more long-time readers and fewer curiosity seekers only.
4. Write in a way that is similar to the blogger's style – Do their posts all have numbers? Are they essay format? Do they have pictures or video clips? What audience is she trying to reach? It is important to keep these things in mind as you create your guest post. The closer it is to the current style, the more likely it is to be posted.
5. Include an author summary with a link to your blog – This is so, so important. This is the whole point. You want to let people know who you are, what you write about, and, most of all, where to read more!
6. Wait for the readers to pour in!
There you have it. Now, wasn't that so simple? You will be surprised how great this works. With a little effort, you can grow your blog by leaps and bounds, and expand your writing repertoire. You can also make lasting connections with your blogging friends. Now, isn't that a win win?

Nano*High: Superconductivity, Trains and SQUIDs
Published on
Superconductivity is a unique phenomenon where the electric resistance of a material drops to zero. Until only a few decades ago, superconductivity was only observed at extremely low temperatures. Today however, a new class of exotic high-temperature superconducting materials is making possible powerful new loss-less electronics, now used in such devices as medical scanners, mag-lev trains, and the Large Hadron Collider. New research has also applied properties of superconductivity to develop the most sensitive detector ever made, the SQUID device.
