It's understandable that in a country of over 7 thousand islands Filipinos in the capital city haven't heard of many of the smaller ones. But Sibuyan Island seems like a different level of remoteness. Trying to find some information about the island I was assigned to before I was deployed, I went to a bookstore in the most well-known mall of Manila (which is a city built around malls and shopping): the mall of Asia. This mall is supposedly the 10th largest in the world, has an ice-skating rink, it has 6 movie theatres, and a ferris wheel. It also has the rare sight of a shiny (albeit small) bookstore, where I searched in vain for any information relating to Sibuyan Island. I asked the staff to look up Sibuyan by name in their database, and had to spell out the name for them, only to find that they had no materials listed. Even finding just a simple map was impossible, as the Romblon province is not a very high tourist destination therefore the bookstore had no provincial maps in stock.
During the two weeks of training I spent in Manila before going to my assigned site of Sibuyan, almost all the Filipinos I met asked me what I was doing in the Philippines. When I replied that I would be working for 9 months as a biologist on Sibuyan Island, every single Filipino I talked to then asked puzzledly "where is Sibuyan Island?".
So given the lack of forewarning of previous typhoons, and the remote nature of Sibuyan Island; it was an absolute shock to see the small Sibuyan Island's name listed on the national news agency as directly in Ruby's path 24 hours before the super typhoon was expected to landfall on my island.
About 48 hours before Typhoon Ruby (local name: Hagupit) reached the Philippine Area of Jurisdiction, it was already all over the news. Despite the 17 typhoons that had already hit the besieged country this year (which has a pending volcanic eruption to boot), Ruby gained attention because it was predicted to be a "super typhoon", and make initial landfall over the same area that the last super typhoon hit – Typhoon Yolanda which left over 6 thousand dead and a large wake of destruction in its path.
Having spent 4 months living in the Philippines, at first Ruby took on the same abstract meaning as the previous 17 typhoons that hit the Philippines during my time here. That is to say, I barely noticed it. Living in a protected area office at the edge of the forest, on a small isolated island that is just one of the 7 thousand plus that comprise the Philippines means that quite a few national and of course global events pass by without notice. It took an email from the United States to inform me that a ferry sunk not far from where I was in the central Philippines. Or that a massive earthquake rocked Indonesia, with tsunami implications for Filipinos in the outer islands.
Previous typhoons I only heard about from locals as the storms were dumping rain over me. One day a few months ago I commented on the nasty weather as I headed back from some fieldwork on the other side of Sibuyan Island, and I was informed by my coworker that the rain stinging our faces was actually Typhoon Mario. Of course being that the park office where I lived had no newspaper, no internet, and a few television channels available only in Tagalog, a language I do not understand or speak; I didn't know of Mario until he was (lightly) hitting me.
Ruby was different, in that even a few days before landfall it was the talk of the small town near the protected area where I go several times a week to purchase food and supplies. Although the Philippine Islands receive on average about 20 – 30 typhoons per year, a super typhoon does not come along every day. And so like news in any small town, Typhoon Ruby was on the lips of the women in the marketplace, the men trudging to work, and generally brought up in normal everyday conversation, discussed by those just trying to chat and pass the time, which is pretty much everybody in Sibuyan. A few days before landfall the Peace Corps activated their emergency response plan, which called for all 160 Peace Corps Volunteers to consolidate in designated "safe areas" … except for myself and the other volunteer on Sibuyan, we were told to stay put instead of meeting up with the rest of the volunteers in the provincial capital.
The projected path of the typhoon varied according to which model you consulted. The European model said one thing, the national Filipino agency PAGASA said another. But either way the typhoon was expected to pass through the province I live in – Romblon, which is one of the most remote and poorest provinces in the Philippines.
The instant I saw that Sibuyan was directly in Ruby's path, the super-typhoon ceased to be an abstract object and became imminently real and threatening. I canceled a planned trip to the other side of the island to a town fiesta that I had been invited to. I went back to the town market for the third time in three days to get a few more days supply of food. I kept everything plugged in and charged for the inevitable power outage.
The protected area office was designated as the local evacuation center, and so over 24 hour before the expected landfall in Sibuyan a few families had already arrived. They were neighbors that I knew, who live crammed into very simple wooden shacks perched at the edge of their rice fields. I doubted their houses could even withstand a normal typhoon, let alone an extreme one centered on Sibuyan.
As more families evacuated to our shelter, reports showed Ruby slowing down and it's expected landfall time in Sibuyan kept getting pushed back from initially Saturday morning, to Saturday night, to Sunday morning then Sunday night and finally early Monday morning.
This meant lots of waiting. The people passed the time cooking the coffee and large sack of rice that the local government dropped off for evacuees, chatting, and sleeping. I was a little more bored and less sanguine about the whole affair. I walked back and forth through the rain between the Visitor's Center where the evacuees were and the house I was staying in with a few other park employees. Twice I biked through the rain and wind to the coast in order to see how high the waves and storm surge were. But mostly we just sat around, "like waiting to be punched" as one of my coworkers described it. Rebecca, a forester at the park office who had woken up at 3:30 am to cook food to bring to the evacuation center for herself and her children, commented that this was the first time she had ever been evacuated.
In the end, we were lucky as cooler monsoon winds from the northwest weakened and pushed Typhoon Ruby north of Sibuyan where it was downgraded to a tropical storm. We received about 36 hours of constant rain, and some wind gusts but the storm was weaker than some previous ones I had already experienced here. By 7:30 am almost all of the estimated 50 evacuees who spent the night at the protected area office had already left to return to their homes. By the afternoon the power was back on and the road to town was passable, and aside from a few fallen trees there was no evidence of any damage aside from a little flooding in the low-lying areas. When we went to town to get some fresh food, the people of Sibuyan Island were saying goodbye to family and friends who stayed over for the typhoon, cleaning their houses, laboring in their rice fields, sweeping fallen branches and leaves from the road, cooking hot meals, and continuing on with their lives.

Day 2: Jamon Serrano
Another staple of Spanish cuisine is Jamon Serrano; literally translating to "Mountain Ham". The origins of the name link to the process of how the ham is cured. In the curing process, the jamon is hung in a cool dry place for 6-18 months contingent on the climate – hence the name mountain ham. (THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA) *side note: I was thinking, there should be a food-o-pedia?? (for lack of a better name)
You see, I tend to just eat what's in front of me (because I'll eat anything) before conducting an Anthony Bourdain show. For example, Me: "Oh, whats this? NVM!! nom nom nom…" Sad, but true. In hindsight, I should've gone back and interviewed a couple of the butchers or restaurant owners or the hot Spaniard drinking a latte. (hola guapo!)
Bottom line, it's pretty much the Spanish equivalent of prosciutto. The ham is so fine, and thin that it almost melts in your mouth like a breath-strip, but salty. Which is like better!
Spaniards eat it plain, or with pan tomate (crushed up tomato with garlic, salt and olive oil on bread). It was so good, that I had to smuggle some home…(SHH!!) YUM!!
Day 1: Barcelona
We feast on a very simple, authentic Spanish dish. Tortilla de Patatas, which is pretty much a potato omelette, fritatta, torta, egg-cake, etc. It's pretty much just eggs, potatoes and an onion. You can find this dish everywhere in Spain, it's like the American equivalent of french fries. Commonly found in bars and cafes and served as a tapas, it can also be enjoyed for dinner. Very delicious, filling, and easy to make!!

Last week the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved the new gTLD Program Guidebook and made a historic decision to initiate the new gTLD process.
At the 41st International Meeting in Singapore, ICANN's decision was met by enthusiastic cheering and a standing ovation. The meeting, attended by some of the biggest names in Domain Industry, saw the ICANN board approve the new gTLD program with a vote of 13 to 1.
Over the last week, this development quickly became the biggest news the Domain Industry has seen in recent times. Our CEO, Bhavin Turakhia, who was one of the few Industry leaders at the event, had some truly remarkable words to say:
"We witnessed history in the making on Monday when after 6 years the ICANN board finally approved the launch of new gTLDs. This is a once in a lifetime, iconic moment for our industry, and an exciting time. We've been at the forefront of the domain name industry for nearly a decade now and we intend on aggressively committing ourselves to the new gTLD process too."
Anyone can apply for new gTLDs
Currently, applicants ranging from brands like Canon (.CANON) to industries like Music (.MUSIC) and hotels (.HOTEL) have been identified.
The Application process is slated to begin early next year, with the possibility of seeing new extensions sometime in 2013.
What you should know
The new gTLDs will have an immense impact on this Industry, the full potential of which we'll see only in the years to come. For now, everything you or your Customers need to know about new gTLDs, can be found in this video released by ICANN a few days ago.
More about new gTLDS, along with the applicant guidebook, the history as well as announcements and updates can be found on the ICANN website.
As per a Press Release ICANN released last week, Rod Beckstrom, President and Chief Executive Officer of ICANN said,
"ICANN has opened the Internet's naming system to unleash the global human imagination. Today's decision respects the rights of groups to create new Top Level Domains in any language or script. We hope this allows the domain name system to better serve all of mankind."
We couldn't agree more and along with other Internet Community leaders, business groups and governments, we will continue working towards making this a reality!

Fashion is Your Business recently had Uri Minkoff, of Rebecca Minkoff and Uri Minkoff brands, on the podcast. During the episode they discussed the changing ways of reaching customers. (You can listen to epsiode 57 here.)
If you want to reach me as a customer: find my heart and next to it you'll find my credit card. My likes on Instagram might as well be my signature on a receipt. It is all apart of the thrill of the consumer chase for any fashion brand in 2015. If you're a consumer it doesn't matter how the fashion industry functions; just that it does. Our moment is hauling shopping bags around like new treasures. The brands moment is opening a new store in a new location or looking at its annual report and seeing numbers move up and down scales of success.
Technology might as well as given the fashion industry a heart attack, laid it on its stretcher and shocked it back to life again. Consumers became numbers and the numbers became reason. Creativity, the heart; numbers, the brain. When the heart and brain work together seamlessly you get brands like Rebecca Minkoff.
"Were all challenging ourselves with understanding this new consumer and how in this new modern world where you can have startups that can come out of the gate and can be doing tens of millions of dollars in business within a couple of years driven through the influence of Instagram. You have this existing supply chain of fashion seasons and fashion shows yet as you have newer, leaner models coming out, how do you evolve? How do you go to that next generation? We're in this generation gap. What worked as customer acquisition is not going to work in the future," says Minkoff during the episode.
In the past, the chase began and ended in retail stores; today it starts with a cell phone or laptop.
"This instantly connected world has given us an ability to blow something up or shut it down within a moments notice. To take something, a trend or an idea of something that's never been out there before and to see it on a blogger's photo on Instagram and see a sensation and see a business that was started that didn't exist, out of a moment," he adds.
Instagram has been dominated by the fashion industry that has always been trained to document its artistic creativity in the form of photos for centuries. Instagram is an personalized assorted catalog filled with all the right angles and moments to pull on a buyer's heart strings. It's an emotional journey of who you admire, who you are and who you want to be. Each heart-shaped like can define a purchase, a "never wearing that again" or a "I'm going to try that." Brands have just a much of an Instagram strategy as they do a manufacturing process. It's apart of the equation. It's where the heart is.
"You're dealing with this human heart. At the end of the day, no matter how many analytics or how many different things you're dealing with, you're dealing with the human heart," says Minkoff. "It's the human heart. It's the human soul. You can't always predict and know. That's the beautiful thing about this space. The immediacy that these social platforms give you to make or break something. That's the shocking thing that you can see companies that a year ago meant nothing and now are on everyone's lips, that then six months later are dead. It's how fast you have to be to be able to understand and respond. It's almost like there's this human nerve and its being turned into that nerve of change and opportunity and that cycle and its like nothing we've ever seen before."

Ready. Set. Go! The race to the high-tech toilet of the future is officially on. In early October, the International Organization for Standards, better known by its English acronym of ISO, published the first technical standard for the attributes and performance of a toilet that fully treats human waste on site, without connection to a sewer or drainage system, and by implication, without connection to a dedicated water supply.
Less than two months later, Bill Gates, the philanthropist and former chief of Microsoft, was "toasting" the attendees at the Reinvented Toilet Expo in Beijing with a beaker of human feces. Gates' malodorous prop made a telling point — every human on the planet has to "go," and there is an enormous market awaiting new products that can safely address the universal human need for sanitation without requiring costly sewers and squandering fresh water simply to transport human waste.
The alternative to the traditional toilet — defined by ISO as a "Non-Sewered Sanitation System"— is a manufactured product the will serve an individual household, a small apartment building, or a public restroom. It must accept and treat all manner of human biological waste, and may accept additional types of household and personal waste if so designed by the manufacturer.
ISO has established rigorous standards for the destruction of human pathogens and for limits on noise, air emissions, and odor. And manufacturers must subject their products to a challenging set of tests to demonstrate attainment of these standards. All surfaces of the device are to be cleanable, and there can be no visibility of the deposits of previous users. From the consumer perspective, using a reinvented toilet will not be noticeably different from using a conventional toilet.
New products are very close to reality
So is a Reinvented Toilet a real thing? "Very close to being real" is the best answer. Various teams, some with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, have products under development, and several devices are out of the lab and undergoing field trials.
There are several technical pathways for meeting the ISO standards: electrochemical, biological, and combustion-based approaches are all in contention. It's not clear yet whether one approach will prevail, or whether all these approaches can find their niche in a worldwide market. Service requirements, warranties, supply and distribution chains, and — notably — purchase price, are all unknown as of yet.
The Beijing Expo was intended to showcase those products that are closest to being market-ready, but it could be another couple of years before bona fide commercial shipments take place.
Meanwhile, testing and evaluation will continue, and companies and public officials will begin to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the ISO standard. In the U.S., the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) has signaled its intention to undertake the adoption of the ISO standard as a U.S. national standard, which should ease the way for recognition of the standard in health and building codes across the country. Canadian national adoption is under initial discussion as well.
For the last two years, I had the opportunity to serve on the U.S. technical advisory group that participated in the development of the ISO standard. At the final plenary meeting of the ISO committee in Nepal last May, I recorded a few thoughts about the threshold we're soon to cross.
It's logical to ask whether composting toilets — commercially available for many years— might qualify. The answer is probably not.
The new ISO standard — and the goal for the "reinvented toilets" as originally scoped by the Gates Foundation — calls for complete treatment on site. The treatment standards are demanding, not only for bacteria like E. coli, but for viruses, protozoans, and worm eggs. Today's generation of composting toilets may be a good solution for some locations, but it does not achieve the level of treatment called for in the standard. It is possible for biologically based treatment systems to be tested for qualification under the standard, as no particular technical approach is ruled out. But traditional composting alone is unlikely to meet the standard. Perhaps an enhanced approach will emerge in the years ahead.
Potential for public health benefits
The public health benefits of reinvented toilets will be enormous for the developing world, leapfrogging over the lack of wastewater infrastructure and saving thousands of lives now lost each year to preventable diseases, among both settled populations and those displaced by conflicts and natural disasters.
But perhaps unexpectedly, reinvented toilets are likely to play the role of disruptive technology in many parts of the developed world as well, including North America. To begin with, remote and arid locations that attract large numbers of people are obvious candidates — music festivals like California's Burning man, or the Grand Canyon, for instance.
But we also have many full-time residents here in rural communities marked by poor drainage, water scarcity, permafrost conditions, or inadequate infrastructure — any of which can make traditional sanitation technology prohibitively expensive.
On an even larger scale, cities across the continent are facing the vagaries of climate change and its effects on the reliability of traditional sources of water. According to a recent survey of U.S. and Canadian cities, nearly 25% of all indoor water use in single-family homes is still devoted to flushing toilets, a luxury that may not be sustainable. And with our water and wastewater infrastructure suffering from decades of deferred maintenance, strategic placement of toilets that operate independent of these aging networks may well factor into the solutions we seek for resilient communities and just access to essential services.
The need for a new technology is acutely evident in cities such as Cape Town, South Africa, today. But before long, reinvented toilets may be finding their way to places like Atlanta, Los Angeles, or any other community in North America that wants to start capturing the benefits of this new technology.
Get ready. Reinvented toilets are on their way.

International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor on Thursday said her department's mission for the current financial year was expected to focus more on economic diplomacy and facilitating more foreign direct investment in support of the President Cyril Ramaphosa's drive to attract $100 billion (more than R1 trillion) to South Africa.
At a media briefing held in Parliament ahead of her budget vote on Thursday afternoon, she said: "We want more opportunities for the export of South African goods and services, more tourist arrivals and more opportunities for South African youth to acquire skills. I also think South Africa has a lot to offer the world in terms of cultural diplomacy. I have asked our missions to make sure they don't neglect this part of our work. We have a wealth of heritage to share through cultural exchange programmes and other activities. This would assist our artists to showcase their talent and attract thousands to experience South Africa."
The minister said South Africa's foreign policy is, and has always been based on the country's vision of championing an African continent which is prosperous, peaceful, and democratic, and a creating a South Africa that is non-racial, non-sexist, united and which works for a world that is just and equitable.
The department's total budget allocation for 2019/20 financial year is R6.508 billion. A total of 68% of it is utilised to support 125 missions in 108 countries across the globe, according to Pandor.
She said her department had begun discussions on how to do more with the limited resources. "A major challenge of our budget, especially for the missions abroad, is the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the performance of the rand against the US dollar. Treasury allocates according to a specific rate and makes no compensatory adjustments.
"Dirco, like all other government departments, has not been spared from the necessary budget cuts implemented by National Treasury. Our compensation of employees budget has been reduced from R2.964 billion in the 2018/19 financial year to R2.874 billion for the 2019/2020 financial year," said Pandor, adding that the situation required the department to find innovative and effective ways of doing more with less.
"We will review our mission numbers and consider whether a re-organisation is merited. We are expected to utilise public resources in a careful manner, following all the prescripts as provided in law, particularly the Public Finance Management Act.
"I have urged the department to focus on developing seamless financial management to ensure we meet the mandates assigned to us."

Employer Vicarious Liability for Employee Conduct
An employer's responsibility for employee conduct is a hot topic these days with the Supreme Court of Canada speaking repeatedly to the point over the last several years.
Two recent decisions dealing with an employer's vicarious liability are Blackwater v. Plint, [2005] SCC 60 and E.B. v. Order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in the Province of British Columbia, [2005] SCC 58. The cases are based on the very unfortunate residential school abuse scenario. The underlying theory of the cases being that there has to be a significant connection between the perpetrator's job/authorized conduct and the misconduct to warrant a finding of employer vicarious liability.
These two cases follow on the heels of:
Bazely v. Currie, [1999] 2 S.C.R 534;
Jacobi v. Griffiths, [1999] 2 S.C.R. 570;
K.L.B. v. British Columbia, [2003] SCC 51;
E.D.G. v. Hammer, [2003] SCC 52; and
M.B. v. British Columbia, [2003] SCC 53.
Those cases deal with the various permutations of vicarious liability, breach of fiduciary duties, negligence, statutory defences, non-delegable duties and liability for the acts of independent contractors.
Compare then the approach taken in Dunn, Lisa v. Washington City Hospital (05-1277), a recent decision of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeal. This case deals with an independent contractor's sexual harassment in the workplace. Better yet you can listen to the oral argument here.

Shrems had lodged a complaint because of the revelations made in 2013 by Edward Snowden concerning the activities of the United States intelligence services, particularly the National Security Agency.
Data about Shrems and other subscribers residing in the EU is transferred by Facebook from its Irish subsidiary to servers located in the United States.
Following the revelations about US intelligence agencies' activities, the court agreed with Shrems that US law and practice do not offer sufficient guarantees that public authorities will refrain from monitoring the data transferred to that country. It consequently ruled the Safe Harbor agreement invalid.
The new Privacy Shield is intended to provide safeguards to protect Europeans' data, where Safe Harbor did not.
However, experts have voiced concerns that the new agreement is not really any better than Safe Harbor. On Tuesday German newspaper Die Zeit raised another issue: that the new law is just a repackaging of the old one, and compared its introduction to the re-launch of Twix chocolate bars in Germany in 1991 (they had previously been known there as Raider bars).
"This is the crucial question: is Safe Harbor to Privacy Shield what Raider was to Twix? New name, old content? Or is European citizens' data better protected from the US government under Privacy Shield than it was under Safe Harbor," asked Patrick Beuth.
Jan Philipp Albrecht, a specialist in data protection who represents the German Green Party in the EU Parliament, told Die Zeit that the changes to the law will not offer EU citizens any better protection in practice.
US laws allow the authorities there "general access to the content of electronic communications," Albrecht explained.
The new Privacy Shield is not a law that would override law in the US, and the EU Commission does not have any guarantees of its implementation in the US.
"It can hardly be the case that the law in the US is changed by an exchange of letters between the government and the EU Commission," Albrecht said.
EU citizens are not the only internet users to be worried about how their data is being used in the US. In December 2014 Russian lawmakers passed legislation about the storage of personal data, which uses a different method to ensure the safety of individuals' data.
The legislation allows exceptions for the courts, media outlets, foreign embassies, and foreign systems used to book airplane tickets.
Many international companies, such as Paypay, eBay, Aliexpress, Booking.com, Uber, Samsung and Lenovo, announced they had transferred clients' data to servers in Russia before the September 1 deadline.
Other large internet companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter have not yet announced whether they have moved their clients' data to servers in Russia, and last month Alexander Zharov of Russia's federal service for supervision of communications, information technology, and mass media (Roscomnadzor) told Rossiyskaya Gazeta that sooner or later these companies will be checked to make sure they are complying with the new law.
"If we find any violations, we will consult with the company and find out whether they intend to observe the law. If they are, we will give them enough time to comply with the law," Zharov said.

I want the option to add additional applicants in the same form (youth leader brining multiple youth to an event)
I need to collect name, DOB, Emergency contact info, Allergy info for each youth. I explored using the infinite list winger but it doesn't give me enough room to get all the fields I need in.
IS there another way for me to set the form up
- JotForm SupportMikeAnswered on August 08, 2016 at 11:51 AM
This is possible to initially add all the fields you might need, and then show them on form based on conditional logic (e.g. when the 'add another youth' field is selected). You can check the next support forum thread to get an idea on this.

scientists have successfully developed genetically modified (transgenic) chickens that do not transmit avian influenza virus to other chickens with which they are in contact. This genetic modification has the potential to stop bird flu outbreaks spreading within poultry flocks. This would not only protect the health of domestic poultry but could also reduce the risk of bird flu epidemics leading to new flu virus epidemics in the human population.

Working as a trades assistant
I currently work as a trades assistant here in Australia. As it is an engineering company, I assist e.g. the boilermakers or welders, or do minor work like grinding, oxy cutting, painting, etc.
We usually do a lot of stuff in our work shed, but sometimes we go on sites, which, at that day, was a ship offfshore which had some huge diving robots to do some work underseas. It needed some work done on deck, but in order to start to work, we had to wait a long time, first for the boat to get us to the main ship, then a long time until the crane driver came up to unload our gear from the transport boat to the ship, then getting permits and inspections done, waiting for the chief engineer and and and… so enough time to do some shots 🙂
Karijini National Park
My good friend and fellow photographer Michael and I decided spontaneously to take a small phototrip to Karijini National Park, apparently one of the most gorgeous one in Western Australia. We arrived saturday mid-day and left sunday afternoon… Quite an experience, and good to get out into nature..
Here some shots of the trip
Troy Cassar-Daley @ NAIDOC Festival 2012
I was at home on my couch when i heard loud music outside from a near football field. I did not know that the anual NAIDOC festival was ending. So finally a at least little concert with a stage out here 🙂 Troy Cassar-Daley was performing, so I did some spontaneous shots, was good to be out again
karratha cemetery
After my series from the cemeteries from south hedland, and cossack it was time to take some pictures from karratha.
what still makes me sad is how the cemeteries are run or maintained… no designated walkways, no aligned graves… especially the one in karratha, where you could clearly see that big machinery was moved through the yard, and even rolled over the edge from one grave…

Cornwell tells the story of Waterloo masterfully
Military history doesn't often reach a turning point as profound as it did at Waterloo, a small Belgian town south of Brussels, two centuries ago.
On June 15-18, the world will observe the bicentennial of the battle in which Britain's Duke of Wellington halted Napoleon's comeback attempt to rule Europe.
Bernard Cornwell, known for several series of historic novels, including early English periods, does in "Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles" what he did for another critical battle four centuries earlier in his "Agincourt" historic novel of 2009.
Only "Waterloo" is not fictionalized by Cornwell. The battle's story is so rich in human content it needs no help from imagination.
Here's Wellington, an undefeated general, calmly attending a dance ball in Belgium on the evening of June 15 as Napoleon, full of hubris after his escape from exile in Elba, organizes his arriving French forces not far away just to the south of Waterloo.
The first clashes begin the next day as Napoleon tries to chase away the Prussian army that is allied with Wellington's British and Dutch forces.
Napoleon wanted to attack one army at a time, but he failed to push the Prussians far enough away. On the day of the main battle, on June 18, 1815, the Prussians reappeared to rescue Wellington's armies with a flanking move that divided Napoleon's units at a critical moment when the French commander had his best chance to break through the British/Dutch lines.

Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies and Three Battles
By Bernard Cornwell
Harper, $35
Through Cornwell's vivid prose, readers can see and smell the smoke from cannons and experience the dismal muddy conditions from the storms the night before the June 18 massacres in the scenic shallow, idyllic valley that came to be a thunderous battlefield.
Military maneuvers are difficult to describe in words because it can be dry and boring, like reporting a football game. But Cornwell blends the military movements and strategies with the personalities of the generals, especially Wellington and Napoleon, making the successes and mistakes flow from their past experience and personal quirks.
Cornwell's description of Napoleon's final, desperate charge to the ridge defended by Wellington hits hard with its descriptions of widespread bloody death as the sun sets late on one of the longest days of the year.
The nonfiction narrative is dotted with excerpts from letters of the battle's survivors, and the book offers numerous paintings from the period depicting military scenes.
"Waterloo" ends where the book begins, in a way, with Napoleon in exile from France for the second time. What happened in between is a powerful story masterfully told by Cornwell.

"The best protection any woman can have…is courage." –Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Whether you suffer from discharge, want to keep your intimate parts breathing a bit freer, or wish to protect yourself on the days closest to your period, panty liners are your go-to protection plan: the answer to your please-don't-let-me-stain-my-clothes prayers. A panty liner is made with an adhesive strip on the back to be able to attach it to the panties. It may or may not have "wings" like a classic pad. There are many different sizes and materials, some more breathable than others, in materials as natural as possible to provide less problems of intimate irritation even for the most delicate of situations. Some panty liners are also anatomically shaped for women who wear thongs, black or white, and may either be unwrapped or discreetly packaged.
Organyc® 100% pure, organic cotton panty liners
Organyc offers complete protection for you and your sensitive skin. Made from 100% certified organic cotton inside and out, Organyc panty liners are cotton-soft, gentle, provide greater comfort, and hypoallergenicity, as well as better breathability. Organic cotton helps in a natural way to prevent the increase of humidity and temperature of the intimate area, thus avoiding the proliferation of bacteria.
Why use 100% organic cotton panty liners?
The following are benefits of using organic cotton panty liners:
- Organic cotton does not irritate the skin
- Your vagina comes into contact with greater softness than with merely panties
- There is greater transpiration of the skin
- Organic cotton prevents an increase in temperature and humidity
- Organic cotton prevents the formation of bacteria
- Organic cotton reduces the risks of allergy, dermatitis and intimate itching.
The fact that Organyc uses NO chlorine bleach, latex, parabens, perfumes, SAP, and plastics or man made materials, significantly contributes to reducing sensitive skin reactions. Organyc has been thoroughly tested by more than 100 Gynecologists. They studied 100 women who had moderate to severe sensitive skin issues. 90% of the women in the study who had sensitive skin reactions while using other brands, had all their problems resolved by using 100% cotton products like Organyc. All their problems — and in just 3 months.
Make sure you change your panty liner every 2/3 hours up to a maximum of 4 hours of use and try to use them only when you feel the need. If you suffer from sensitive skin, during the days you do not use panty liners, make sure you use white cotton panties.

Is the game for all ages?
Players under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. We have found that children under the age of 12 can struggle with some of the puzzles. Unfortunately we cannot take children's parties of any kind because of this reason. Our aim is for all players to be engaged and enjoy their experience.
Do you offer any discounts?
We offer a military, NHS and student discount. Just email us or fill in the contact form below and we will send it on to you.
What if I want to bring more than 6 people to play?
We want you and your team to have the best experience possible and for everyone to be involved in the puzzles at our Salisbury escape room, so we have come up with extra puzzles that we add in if you want 7 or 8 people to play at once. Alternatively, we can split your group into more manageable teams. The first team can play and then watch the next team 'behind the scenes' with us in the control room viewing area. It's hilarious to watch your friends, family or colleagues go through the escape room and it always gets competitive. This set up is perfect for birthday celebrations, hen parties, family get togethers and team building. We can bring the timings closer together on the day too.
Can I bring more or less players on the day?
The price you pay is per person. If you wish to bring more people than you specified in your booking please contact us 24 hours in advance.
Will I have to play with strangers?
No, just your fellow team mates you bring along with you.
What should I bring?
Nothing apart from your brain and some competitive spirit.
What is the optimal team size?
Because of the nature of escape rooms, the more brains you have to solve the puzzles, the greater your chances of escape. We would recommend three or more people, but two
can work also.
Do you have disabled access?
Unfortunately not as we are on the first floor.
I have claustrophobia – should I play?
You are never truly 'locked' in. The rooms are quite large but do contact us if you have any concerns.
How much time will we need to play?
The escape room experience lasts 60 minutes. Please arrive exactly at your allotted time.
Is the game suitable for companies, hen or stag parties?
The escape room is a great way of spending time with your work colleagues. Hen and stag parties are also welcome if we are informed in advance.
Do you have a toilet on site?
Yes, we do. It is within the room, you cannot
go before you enter.
Still have questions?

Title: The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley
Author: Shaun Hutchinson
Published by: Simon Pulse, January 20, 2015
Format/Source: E-Arc provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Summary Via Goodreads: Andrew Brawley was supposed to die that night. His parents did, and so did his sister, but he survived.
Now he lives in the hospital. He serves food in the cafeteria, he hangs out with the nurses, and he sleeps in a forgotten supply closet. Drew blends in to near invisibility, hiding from his past, his guilt, and those who are trying to find him.
Then one night Rusty is wheeled into the ER, burned on half his body by hateful classmates. His agony calls out to Drew like a beacon, pulling them both together through all their pain and grief. In Rusty, Drew sees hope, happiness, and a future for both of them. A future outside the hospital, and away from their pasts.
But Drew knows that life is never that simple. Death roams the hospital, searching for Drew, and now Rusty. Drew lost his family, but he refuses to lose Rusty, too, so he's determined to make things right. He's determined to bargain, and to settle his debts once and for all.
But Death is not easily placated, and Drew's life will have to get worse before there is any chance for things to get better.
A partly graphic novel.
My Rating : 5 Stars
My Review:
I had a feeling going into this book that it was going to be emotional and it certainly was. I loved this book. The characters were interesting and the story just blew me away. This is a story about heartbreak and grief, hope and love, and man it made me cry a few times. The writing was incredible and the added bonus of the story within a story graphic novel was a brilliant idea.
This is the story of Andrew and his struggle to deal with the deaths of his parents and little sister. Andrew is basically living in the hospital where they died, but nobody knows that except him. I found Andrew to be a very interesting character. Having lost a parent myself, I understood where he was coming from. I could connect with his pain and I felt for him so much. He feels so much guilt and grief and he doesn't really know what to do about it. He pours all of that into a project he calls Patient F, the subject of the graphic novel. I really enjoyed that story within a story.
Andrew goes about his day working in the cafeteria, chatting up the nurses, and visiting his friends in the cancer ward and goes home at night to a forgotten part of the hospital where no one goes anymore, all while evading the woman he refers to as death. Everything changes when Rusty is brought into the hospital suffering from burns caused by a cruel classmates. From the moment he hears the first scream, Andrew is drawn to Rusty. Curiosity eventually turns into wanting to help him, which tuns into friendship and eventually more.
The dynamic between Rusty and Andrew was very entertaining. Between Rusty being in excruciating pain for most of this book and Andrew telling him all of his deep dark secrets, I loved their interactions. I love how Andrew slowly started to come back to life.
This book is kind of intense, but in a good way. It deals with the heavy subjects of grief and bullying. I thought the author did a very good job tackling those subjects. I spent a good part of this book just wanting to give Andrew and Rusty hugs because I think they could really have used some. I connected with this book and I am really glad I got the chance to read this one.
The writing in this book was absolutely amazing. This book turned out to be everything I wanted it to be and more. I absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend it. It is emotional and powerful. It is a beautifully heartbreaking story about grief, love, hope, hate, and most importantly, life.
