America's Poorest States
10. Oklahoma
> Median household income: $43,225
> Population: 3,791,508 (23rd lowest)
> Unemployment rate: 6.2% (8th lowest)
> Pct. below poverty line: 17.2% (16th highest)
Oklahoma remarkably low unemployment rate of 6.2% for a state that is among the nation's poorest. The poverty rate of 17.2% has inched up each year from the 2008 rate of 15.9%. The low median income suggests a need for higher paying jobs as Oklahoma relies heavily on agricultural production. Also, government and military, which tend to be low-paying jobs, account for the highest percentage of jobs in the state. But Oklahoma is also a major producer of oil and gas. Growth in the energy sector, which tends to pay more, would help improve on Oklahoma's median income of $43,225.
9. South Carolina
> Median household income: $42,367
> Population: 4,679,230 (24th highest)
> Unemployment rate: 10.3% (8th highest)
> Pct. below poverty line: 18.9% (9th highest)
South Carolina has been hit harder than many states by the recent economic downturn. The state's sizable tourism industry has slowed as families cut back on vacations. The state's 10.3% unemployment rate in 2011 was well above the 8.9% national rate. South Carolina's poverty rate of 18.9% was the ninth highest in the U.S. and significantly higher than the national rate of 15.9%.Moreover, approximately6.5% of families made less than $10,000 a year, the fifth highest proportion in the country. Meanwhile, only 2.9% of families made more than $200,000 a year, the sixth-lowest rate in the country.

8. New Mexico
> Median household income: $41,963
> Population: 2,082,224 (15th lowest)
> Unemployment rate: 7.4% (18th lowest)
> Pct. below poverty line: 21.5% (2nd highest)
Last year, 7.2% of families in New Mexico earned less than $10,000, a larger proportion than in any state but Mississippi and Louisiana. In addition, 21.5% of residents lived below the poverty line, well above the national rate of 15.9%. As a result of poverty and limited job benefits, many New Mexicans cannot afford health insurance. Last year, 19.8% of the state's residents were uninsured. This was significantly higher than the national rate of 15.1% even though the cost of healthcare in New Mexico was slightly below the national average.
7. Louisiana
> Median household income: $41,734
> Population: 4,574,836 (25th highest)
> Unemployment rate: 7.3% (16th lowest)
> Pct. below poverty line: 20.4% (3rd highest)
Louisiana is located at the center of the poorest region in the country — the Deep South along the gulf coast. When Hurricane Katrina struck the region in 2005, the southern part of the state was decimated, particularly the city of New Orleans. Six years later, the city was still recovering with almost 17% of families earning less than $10,000 per year, more than triple the national rate of 5.1%. By many measures, conditions are actually getting worse in the state. As of 2011, for the first time since Katrina, more than one in five residents lived below the poverty line, only slightly better than Mississippi and New Mexico. Louisiana's median income fell by more than the country as a whole, falling more than $2,000 between 2010 and 2011.
6. Tennessee
> Median household income: $41,693
> Population: 6,403,353 (17th highest)
> Unemployment rate: 9.2% (16th highest)
> Pct. below poverty line: 18.3% (12th highest)
In Tennessee some 6.1% of families, or about a third of families in poverty, made less than $10,000 in 2012, a percentage point higher than the national figure. Poverty in many of Tennessee's largest cities is even worse than the state as a whole. In Memphis, the state's largest city, 27.2% of the population lived below the poverty line, including 13.1% of households earning less than $10,000 a year. In Chattanooga, 28.7% of the population lived below the poverty line, including 16.3% of households earning less than $10,000 annually. While the state's median income was lower than most, Tennessee had the second-lowest overall cost of living in and the lowest cost of living for housing among all states in 2011.

Egg Retrieval
Follicular Aspiration
Follicular puncture is carried out as an outpatient procedure at our IVF center. In almost all cases, transvaginal ultrasound guided follicular aspiration is used to retrieve the egg cells. A vaginal probe is used to visualize the follicles. With the help of a guidance line on the display, an aspiration needle is introduced via the vagina straight into the follicle to aspirate the follicular fluid and the oocyte contained in it.
The intervention is performed while the woman is under twilight sleep. To this end, the anesthesiologist will use short-acting anesthesia (sedoanalgesia). The anesthesia medication is usually well tolerated. In rare cases, however, the following side effects may occur: nausea, vomiting, itchy nose and circulatory problems.
After the procedure, the woman may experience a pulling sensation in the abdomen. The sensitivity and tolerance towards pain can vary greatly from person to person and may also depend on a patient's mental and physical condition on that particular day. Normally, it is sufficient to take a common painkiller. Before the couple leaves the IVF center, the woman's blood pressure is measured again and her condition is checked. During the first 24 hours after the intervention, a responsible adult should be with the patient. She must not actively participate in road traffic. Given the risk of infection, we also advise against using a sauna or a swimming pool. Moreover, the couple should refrain from unprotected sexual intercourse.

Air Force Probing Sex Abuse At Lackland After 31 Alleged Victims ID'ed
The Air Force has a growing sex abuse scandal on its hands. At least 31 female recruits at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas have been identified as alleged victims, according to the Stars and Stripes:
Twelve male instructors have been accused of offenses ranging from seeking improper relationships to rape. Nine of the 12 were from a single unit at the base, the 331st Training Squadron.
Lackland Air Force Base serves as boot camp for roughly 35,000 incoming airmen. About 22 percent of those airmen are female.
According to Fox News, the alleged sexual assaults took place between 2009 and 2011:
The first allegations were levied against Staff Sgt. Luis Walker, who faces the most serious charges and is scheduled to be court-martialed next month. Walker is charged with 28 counts, including rape, aggravated sexual contact and multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault. He has not yet entered a plea.
Gen. Edward A. Rice Jr., the Air Force's commander of training and education, told ABC News he is taking these charges seriously:
"We are leaving no stone unturned... I am being as aggressive as I can."

The University of London has to be a high-performing organisation that thrives in a changing environment. The university is moving into the concept of "One University"- an approach with common objectives, co-ordinated processes and mutual awareness are actively pursued. With students in all continents, digital communication, an international research reach and a desire to increase public engagement is critical and the "One University" applies more than ever to the University's online presence. During this talk, Melanie will outline the approach taken by the University of London to address its muddled online presence, how they have started to sell its huge range of assets and develop a clearer user experience.

Report: Rams quarterback Jared Goff broke his thumb against Seahawks
The Los Angeles Rams may be without quarterback Jared Goff next week with a playoff spot on the line.
Goff broke and dislocated his thumb during L.A.'s rough 20-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Michael Silver. His status for the Rams' regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals is unclear.
Jared Goff's right thumb is broken, @RapSheet and I have learned
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 28, 2020
Goff smacked his thumb off of Seattle defensive end Benson Mayowa's helmet in the second half on Sunday at CenturyLink Field, and he was seen later in the game popping it back into place. He finished the game, and went 24-of-43 for 234 yards with an interception.
Goff is expected to undergo further testing when the team arrives in Los Angeles, though the team doesn't know whether he can play next week. The Rams need to beat the Cardinals to ensure they reach the postseason, otherwise the Rams will need the Green Bay Packers to beat the Chicago Bears.
If Goff can't go — Rapoport and Silver reported that it's unlikely Goff will be ready in time — the Rams will likely turn to backup John Wolford, who has yet to play in an NFL game. The former Wake Forest star's only professional experience came with the AAF's Arizona Hotshots, where he led the team briefly in 2019 before the league was shut down.
"[My thumb is] OK right now. It's not terrible," Goff said, via the Rams' Stu Jackson. "We'll see tomorrow. We'll evaluate tomorrow."

A closer look at the YDS pilot 2
The BFG
For decades, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been supporting those in need through development projects across the world. The Netherlands gave away billions to help governments overcome crises, boost industries, improve education, address human rights, and much, much more. This, not so big country, to some, was a giant. A big, friendly giant.
Then, in 2015, all of a sudden, the Ministry decided to cut their Official Development Assistance (ODA) by as much as 50%. Their reasons, they thought, were logical. The government chose to switch the focus to those projects that actually provide a return on investment for the Dutch economy and work with particularly innovative methods. The decision, however, did not go unnoticed by the Dutch and local development NGOs. Having realised that crucial humanitarian projects would come to a premature end, thus invalidating experiences and efforts built up over long periods of time, they decided to protest, thereby raising the attention of a team of Dutch journalists.
How much money has the Netherlands spent on development projects over the last decade? Who received the money? What was the money spent on? What was the effect on the Dutch economy? The journalists wanted to know the answers to these, and many other questions. Nevertheless, tracking every single flow channel and understanding the overall impact on a country's economy has always been anything but trivial.
From data to stories
So, how does one tell a story based on numbers alone? YourDataStories is a unique effort that strives to deliver the necessary tools to ease the task of interpreting those numbers, connecting the dots and finding the right paths, but also hidden links, in economic data. Yes, because money flows are essentially networks. Complex networks, overlaid with meaning. And, by seeing them as such, we are no longer looking at mere numbers. We are turning data into information, and information into knowledge. Linked, shared knowledge. Shared, because the semantics behind the dots and the links between them in this network, or graph, as we often like to call it, are provided by a common model for all economic domains, relying on standard vocabularies. We refer to it as the YDS Linked Data Model.
To prove the benefit of such an approach, we, of course, needed an economic domain and data to start with. Official Development Assistance was an obvious choice, but, perhaps, a bit unidirectional, in terms of money flows. It didn't take us long to realize that nothing shows bidirectional flows between two countries better than International Trade Relations.
We dug deep into the data published by reliable sources – the International Aid Transparency Initiative and MIT's Observatory of Economic Complexity (derived from the United Nations Comtrade Database). Not only did the exercise help us cover the domain of economy better, enriching our model with new concepts and features, but the newly created graphs allowed us to explore the originally disparate data in new and exciting ways. All 15 million (!) facts of them.
The story of flowers
Having learned from our Pilot 2 discussions that EJC was on its way to establish a news agency in Zimbabwe, we agreed to focus our early data analysis efforts on this South-African country, and try to extract as much information as possible from its economic relations with the Netherlands.
Now, even though it might not be that obvious, one might say that both the Netherlands and Zimbabwe are countries of flowers. Tulips have always been one of the most easily recognisable Dutch brands. A Nicotiana (tobacco) flower, on the other hand, many find much less appealing, yet its leaves remain one of Zimbabwe's major export commodities.
A brief look at our data confirms this. By observing the tobacco refuse export activities since 2009, we can easily spot a positive trend with respect to the traded amounts. Following the link to the broader commodity group, we can see the trend also applies to tobacco related commodities in general. More importantly, now that our data is linked, they are given context. We can see how every bit of data is related to other data, and draw comparisons.
So, how did the tobacco trade in 2009 fare to other commodity exports from Zimbabwe to the Netherlands? We take a step back only to see the most unlikely export product sitting at the top of the trade activities between the two countries: flowers. From Zimbabwe to the Netherlands. Is it an error in the data? Was it a one-time major deal, or is there a positive trend behind it, just like with tobacco?
We dive in deeper. The temporal dimension, once again, gives us more context. In 2010, shockingly, the numbers plummet. Then they continue going down in 2011, and 2012. What happened? A drought looks unlikely, knowing that tobacco exports were unaffected. Was there a shortage of fertilisers?
We search for fertilisers related data, and encounter something unexpected – an Official Development Assistance activity. A € 1.5 million aid funded activity categorized as Emergency food aid, financially on par with the 2009 commercial imports. Moreover, the beneficiary and implementing party is the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN), indicating that, perhaps, there is more to it.
According to the Red Cross, in 2010, more than two million people in Zimbabwe, or close to one-fifth of the southern African country's population, were in dire need of food aid due to a failed harvest. The links to other activities and sectors of aid, tell the story better and also show how the funds were distributed in times of an economic, but also a political crisis, going from food aid to civilian peace-building, conflict prevention and resolution and, most of all, to human rights.
No real shocker here. The people of Zimbabwe cried for help, and the big friendly giant was there, once again, to direct its funds where they were needed the most.
What we did find out, though, is that numbers can tell stories. Intriguing and captivating stories; colourful and vivid stories; stories with a twist. And we give you the tools to make them yours.

Call 800-801-2484
Ask John Malino who his musical heroes are, and he'll tell you Ella Fitzgerald and Jimi Hendrix. That may sound like an odd combo, but when you hear John and his Band perform, you can feel how they forge these influences into a sound that is cool, passionate, and totally their own. John and the Band immerse themselves in the attitude of a song, inviting their audience deeply into the soul of the music. However many musicians John may bring together for an event—two or twenty—you can be certain of their mastery of jazz and the full range of classic and contemporary popular music. And whatever the configuration, you can be certain that John Malino himself will be present to lead the Band. When you hire the John Malino Band, you get John Malino. Always.
Press reviews have compared Malino to John Pizzarelli, Harry Connick, Jr., and the young Frank Sinatra. Malino is also a songwriter and recording artist; recently David Sanborn contributed a saxophone solo to one of Malino's original recordings.
Malino and his Band have played major clubs throughout New York, including Birdland, Fez, Windows on the World, Life, Metronome, Le Bar Bat, Sardi's, Maxim's, Le Cirque, Lola, Tatou, Garage, and The Turning Point. The band also plays festivals and clubs throughout the country, including recent concerts at the Santa Monica Pier Concert Series and the Kennedy Center.

I've been carrying this article called Online Safety 3.0: Empowering and Protecting Youth around on my iTouch for a few days and finally had a chance to read it while riding a BC Ferry today. It's well worth a read in it's entirety but the gyst of the article (as I understand it) is that we need to re-think our approach to online safety and move towards an approach that focuses less on negative consequences and more on media literacy and digital citizenship. In the article, Online Safety 1.0 is characterized as the 'predator' danger approach and Online Safety 2.0 as being mostly about the harrasment and cyberbullying that has become prevalent due to the peer-to-peer nature of today's internet. Both of these approaches, it claims, are negative, lack context and are largely irrelevant to youth. Online Safety 3.0 on the other hand they describe as being about enabling …
youth enrichment and empowerment. Its main components – new media literacy and digital citizenship – are both protective and enabling.
They share some interesting findings from the Internet Safety Technical Taskforce which wrapped up in January 2009, including that:
cyberbullying and harassment are the most salient risks youth face, all children aren't equally at risk, and children's psychosocial makeup and environment are better predictors of risk than the technology they use.
This may seem obvious to many, but to me it was an eye opener. Our tendency to focus on the technology (Facebook, MySpace, IM etc) that allows peer-to-peer interactions online has a tendency to make us look at the problem as a 'one size fits all' one (students are misusing Facebook, so lets block it in school), when in fact problematic online behaviours are really just problematic behaviours that happen to take place online. Instead of talking about the technology we should be talking about the behaviours, and the underlying reasons for them; just as we do with real world behaviours.
This gets me thinking about how to get my students to critically think about their online lives and behaviours in a meaningful way. Often I feel like our conversations are about 2-d solutions to 3-d problems. My students already know about the 2-d solutions, so much so that they have become buzzwords. The word "cyberbullying" has become a buzzword and I don't feel I done a very good job unpacking it with my students. When I used to be an outdoor educator we had other buzzwords that were equally frustrating, words like "team work" and "communication". My students all knew that these words were important and what we were trying to teach them, so they were quick to use them during debriefs. The really powerful learning came when they were forced to unpack what these words meant in a specific context, or even better when they were put into a situation that really challenged their ability to work as a team and communicate and forced them to re-examine their preconceived notions of what these concepts really meant. I can't help feeling like I'm dealing with the same dynamic when it comes to the words "internet safety" and "cyberbullying". These have become buzzwords in my students lives and they know enough about them to feel like there is nothing else to really discuss, when in fact there is lots.
This is the second year that my Grade 9 students have participated in the Digiteen Project. As part of this project they spend some time researching the 9 Elements of Digital Citizenship before deciding on an Action Project to undertake at our school. This has been a challenging project for me and I am still struggling to figure out why it hasn't had the impact on my students that I thought it would. What I am coming to realise is that quite a few of them come into my class feeling like they already know about Internet Safety and they don't really see how Digital Citizenship is relevant to them. I wonder if this is because they have spent years having adults talk down to them about these issues, instead of involving them in the discussion. They say this really well in the article:
And young people themselves need to be part of the discussion, not just to listen and parrot what adults tell them to say, but to help think through the issues, help adults understand the difference between real and imagined dangers, how youth themselves are dealing with the real ones (research shows a good deal of intelligence on their part), and help adults come up with messages that will resonate with their peers.
So the question then is how do I get my students to take this conversation seriously enough to think critically about it and not just fall back on the buzzwords. One of the models in this article gives me hope, it's called the 'Net Effect" and it's based on a group of characteristics packaged by social media researcher danah boyd that really capture why what we do online is different than what we do face to face:
* Persistence & searchability: the Net as a permanent, searchable archive
* Replicability: the ability to copy and paste from anywhere on the Net, to anywhere online
* Scalability: high potential visibility well beyond the audience you had in mind
* Invisible audiences: never really knowing who's seeing, reading or watching what you post
* Blurring of public and private: an extension of invisible audiences because boundaries aren't clear – private from whom?
These seem like very tangible, personal topics to me and possibly just the framework for exploring issues of Digital Citizenship with my students in a way that will get them more involved.
I also keep coming back to this blog post by ben blumsmith on teaching Mathematics. In it he talks about giving students a problem with an superficial pattern that seems to explain things, but actually doesn't. The argument being that the cognitive dissonance that arises when they realise their pre-conceived notions don't work is enough to get them to delve deeper. This has got me thinking whether I can come up with some good scenarios (maybe videos, maybe stories) that will challenge my students pre-concieved notions regarding Digital Citizenship and get them to delve deeper?

What is acid rain? – Meaning
Acid rain is a type of acidic rain which is caused by hydrogen, nitrous and sulphuric compounds in the air mixing with ordinary rainwater, snow, fog, hail, and mist.
Certain chemicals in the atmosphere dissolve with water in the atmosphere. Sulphides and nitrates are the key chemicals in question here, as well as hydrogen – indeed, the more hydrogen that is added into the mix, the more acidic that rain will be.
Acid rain falls to the earth like normal rainfall, but instead of nourishing the earth in the way that natural rainfall does, acid rain:
- has very negative effects on fish, plants, humans, and animals,
- can poison lakes, wells, and drinking water,
- erodes buildings, pavements, and statues, and
- is able to destroy an entire forest or lake.
It is also worth noting that acid rain does not always take the form of rain: it can equally take the form of snow, hail, fog, mist, and sleet as long as it is acidic water (either in frozen or liquid form) falling to earth. All that is required is for sulfur and nitrogen compounds in the air to dissolve with water to form acidic compounds which then somehow fall to earth.
Acid rain are acidic, i.e., the pH levels are less than 7. The more hydrogen ions that is present in acid rain, the more acidic that it will be. A liquid is acidic if the pH level is less than 7, whilst it is non-acidic if the pH level is more than 7. Liquids at pH level of 7 are neutral. Normally, natural rain is also slightly acidic and has a pH of around 5.6. Acid rain, however, is on the acid end of the pH scale, with a pH that will typically range from 4.2 to 4.5.
Calcium and magnesium are substances that are able to neutralize the acids in acid rain. Some rocks contain calcium and magnesium deposits naturally and so to some extent they are able to resist the effects of acid rain.
The phenomenon of acid rain was first discovered in 1853 in Canada when a lake was found to be 'dead' – i.e. saturated with acid to such an extent that the fish and aquatic mammals had died or left the lake, plant life could not survive, and the water was not fit for drinking. The cause of this environmental catastrophe was found to be acid rain.
The causes of acid rain.
The key causes of acid rain are all human derived. Human activity is what is poisoning our planet by means of acid rain. Here are the main causes of acid rain.
1. Burning fossil fuels in general: Levels of acid rain were negligible and basically non existent until the industrial revolution really took off in the early nineteenth century. At this point, humans began burning large amounts of fossil fuels. Burning of fossil fuels releases huge amounts of hydrogen, sulphides, and nitrates into the atmosphere which fall back down to earth as acid rain. One key culprit here is the manufacturing industry, as many factories burn fossil fuels to power their machinery and also release harmful gases as a result of the synthetic materials that they use in the production process (the plastics industry is a big problem here).
2. Electricity generation: This is one of the biggest contributors to acid rain. Conventional methods for generating electricity involve gas and other fossil fuels and produce plenty of harmful waste gases. Burning of coal for electric generation in Thermal power plants is considered the greatest source for the release of green-houses that further cause Acid rain. By contrast, generating electricity using solar panels or other green alternatives such as wind farms does not cause such huge problems for the environment.
3. The shipping industry: The biggest ships in the container shipping industry generate most harmful gases. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth noting that travelling by car or bike also contributes to acid rain as the fumes from your vehicle's exhaust mingle with the clouds.
4. Agriculture: Using pesticides, intensive farming, and nitrate based fertilizers can all release nitrates and other gases into the air. This, again, contributes to acid rain which poisons the very land that farmers are trying to cultivate.
5. Aviation: Jet fuel is a huge polluter of the air and the aviation industry is responsible for the production of a large proportion of our acid rain.
6. Natural causes: Chemicals are also released into the atmosphere as a result of natural phenomenons. For example, when a volcano is erupted, if emits various gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide causing the atmosphere to become acidic. Some old glaciers are also very acidic.
The effects of acid rain.
Now that we know some of the main ways that we are causing acid rain (though there are others), let us take a look at what the effects of acid rain are. Below are some of the highly negative effects that acid rain has on our planet and its environment.
1. Dissolving buildings: priceless buildings and statues are being destroyed by acid rain. Drop a pipette of sulphuric acid onto a piece of rock and you will most probably start to see the rock bubble and dissolve. This is precisely what acid rain does when it falls on both natural rock formations and on stone buildings. One very sad example of this happening is the Taj Mahal. This mid seventeenth century palace is of immense historical value, but acid rain has not only discoloured the stone of this edifice – it has also begin to smoothe away and dissolve some of the intricate patterns on the brickwork.
2. Poisoning water: over 88% of the beautiful Great Lakes in Michigan, US are affected by acid rain. Marine and freshwater organisms can be very sensitive to changes in the acidity of their watery environment. Acid rain poisons water and eventually creates what are known as 'dead zones' – i.e. areas of water where absolutely nothing is able to live or grow. In fact, acid rain was first discovered around a century and a half ago as a result of the appearance of a dead zone in a lake that was once teeming with life. Acid rain is also one of the causes for ocean acidification. When ocean water becomes acidic, the water ecosystem is disrupted. The water habitats faces difficulties in acidic water.
3. Poisoning the soil: Acid rain can fall onto soil and, once it has soaked in to the soil, change its pH. Soil has a very specific pH, and plants need certain pH levels in order to grow and flourish. The pH of soil has developed over many years – sometimes even centuries – in order to create the perfect habitat for particular species of plants to grow in. When soil gets more acidic, fewer plants – including crops for humans to eat – can grow there. Farmers may attempt to solve the problem by pouring more fertiliser into the ground but, ultimately, this will just result in worsening the problem of acid rain.
4. Damaging human health: the poisonous acids in acid rain can also cause health problems in humans. Everything from respiratory diseases to eye allergies can result from living in an environment that is blighted by acid rain. They increase the risk of certain cancers, as well as making it more probable than humans will develop asthma and heart disease. Breathing in acid rain or acidic fog or mist can really irritate the respiratory tract of both humans and animals.
5. Effect on trees: Acid rain harms plant life by destroying its food supply by shriveling up green leaves. When acid rain falls on plants' leaves, these leaves can die very quickly. However, leaves provide an important source of food for plants by using their chlorophyll to absorb photons from the sun's rays and turn this into food for the plant by the process of photosynthesis. In addition, when the trees die, the whole ecosystem of the forest or wood will often collapse because animals who rely on the trees for shelter, shade, or vital nutrients will suddenly find their habitat drastically altered.
How to prevent and control Acid Rain?
When acid rain falls to earth, acid rain can be devastating: it can dissolve buildings and statues, kill organisms, poison water, and harm human health. As a result, it is so important for us to take all of the steps that we can to prevent and control acid rain.
1. Stop burning fossil fuels: Oil, coal, and gas release nitrous and sulphuric compounds into the atmosphere and this results in acid rain. Prevent acid rain by switching to greener, cleaner energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy. Switching to these cleaner energy sources will also help to prevent other harmful environmental effects such as climate change and the greenhouse effect.
2. Take public transport: your car's exhaust pumps polluting chemicals into the air which will dissolve into the rain. Take the train or bus instead – or, for shorter distances, try cycling or walking as these are better for your help as well.
3. Buy local: cut down on your carbon footprint by purchasing locally produced goods instead of items that were produced abroad and that require the aviation industry to ship them to your country. In so doing, you will help your local economy as well. You could also try producing your own versions of products with a high carbon footprint that you previously bought in shops. Make your own sauces and chutneys (perhaps even from your own veg) and learn to brew and blend your own drinks. When you do purchase something that has been imported, opt for environmentally friendly brands which have a commitment to reducing and offsetting their carbon footprint.
4. Get involved with political action: often, the changes that we need to make in order to stop acid rain ought to happen at a systemic level. Though every individual can take concrete action right now to significantly offset their carbon footprint, we often need to get governments and big companies involved so that they can change their policies at a national or international level. Go on a march, start and sign petitions, write to your government or other local authority, and use the platforms available to you (including social media) to spread the word about the harmful effects of acid rain and which companies and policies are the biggest culprits in terms of perpetuating the problem.
5. Consume fewer manufactured goods: the fumes from factories are one of the biggest causes of acid rain worldwide. Cut down on your spending and your bank balance will get a lot healthier at the same time as the planet! Repair and reuse items instead of simply throwing them into landfill and buying something new. Purchase second hand clothes, vintage jewellery, furniture, and books so that you are not stimulating factories to pollute the atmosphere. Give your old items to a charity shop so that other people can buy them instead of newly manufactured goods. And, again: if you do need to purchase something new, always purchase from eco friendly brands. If you can't find an eco friendly option for something that you wish to buy, get in touch with your preferred brand via the phone, letter, or social media to ask them to create one for you – often companies will be very responsive to consumer suggestions.
6. Be more electricity efficient: the generation of electricity is one of the key contributors to acid rain. Electrical power plants are big pollutors. Do your bit by switching off lights and appliances when they are not in use, and using a timer to turn off your electric heaters when you are not at home. If you run a company, stop keeping the lights of unused rooms and other spaces burning 24 hours a day and commit to a more efficient form of energy use instead. Swap out conventionally generated electricity for solar panels, and if you can make a big change such as exchanging your conventional electric heating system for something like a natural thermal or solar based heating system instead.
Start halting the tide of acid rain today. Acid rain is falling somewhere in the world right now. This pernicious effect of human consumption and lack of care for our planet has been blighting the environment since the industrial revolution began in the 19th century. It is destroying the beautiful Taj Mahal, it is creating 'dead zones' is precious and once highly biodiverse lakes, and it is causing cancers and respiratory problems in human beings to name but a few of the adverse effects of acid rain. If we all work together and make a commitment to halting acid rain, we can start to reverse the catastrophic impact that it is having on our environment. It is time to act to stop acid rain before it is too late.

Even if you're not an avid follower of conspiracy theories, there's a good chance you've heard the recent one about Wayfair trafficking underage girls through some overpriced cabinets, or as some of us like to call it, "Wayfairgate." The fact that it's been debunked by multiple outlets hasn't stopped the theory from spreading across TikTok, Instagram, and of course, Twitter. Evidently, it hasn't stopped people from dialing national hotlines about the case, either.
According to a statement put out today by the Polaris Project—the D.C.-based nonprofit that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline—their lines have been inundated with calls regarding the Wayfair conspiracy over the past few days.
"While Polaris treats all calls to the Trafficking Hotline seriously, the extreme volume of these contacts has made it more difficult for the Trafficking Hotline to provide support and attention to others who are in need of help," they write, adding that none of the reports they've received had any information outside of, well, what was already shared in the viral r/conspiracy post that set off this nationwide hunt in the first place. Polaris added that none of the reports were made by anyone with "a specific connection to any alleged missing children."
With that in mind, it's kind of hard to wrap your head around what, exactly, these calls were supposed to accomplish. The Polaris Project's own "about" page explains in black and white that its goal is to connect anyone who's a victim of sex or labor trafficking with the appropriate aid—it's not a place where folks "look into" a theory you saw floating around on Reddit.
As today's statement goes on to say, the Polaris hotline isn't any sort of law enforcement agency. "Our role in situations like this is to provide information for potential investigation to other agencies as warranted," they added.
Put another way, their job is to listen, and to take appropriate action when they have the victim on the other end of the line. It's really hard to take any sort of action when you're not only unconnected to any of the alleged trafficking victims, but when you don't even have proof that those victims exist.
"We deeply appreciate those members of the public who have contacted the Trafficking Hotline out of heartfelt concern," they go on to say. "In the vast majority of situations, the people in the best position to identify trafficking are victims and survivors themselves and the people who know them. This may be friends or family members, teachers, but may also be people who have some information but are not necessarily close to the situation."
This is all a very polite way of telling amateur Reddit sleuths to knock off their calls into the hotline, and to let them get back to connecting the thousands of trafficking victims who call in every year to get the help that they desperately need. That's kind of their job, after all.

Holy shit, y'all. I just looked up and there was a fox in our yard. A fucking fox. I know this is no biggie to most people but it kind of blows my mind that we live so far out in the country that there are actual foxen that live in our hills. Also, spellcheck refuses to recognize the word "foxen" although it is clearly a word. One ox, two oxen. One fox, two foxen. This is all basic linguistic stuff here. Also, Victor and I are having a huge argument about whether or not to feed the foxen and I say no because we have a fat little pug that I don't want to get eaten but then Victor went and threw an apple at it and I was all "WTF? We don't feed the foxen" and he was all "I was throwing the apple at it to chase it away" but Victor is a tremendous liar and he didn't go to pick up the apple, probably because he knows foxen love apple cider. Also, everything I know about foxen I learned from "Fantastic Mr. Fox", which was quite awesome but I suspect not completely fact-driven. This is probably all obvious even without the explanation.
Also? Today the exterminator came back out to spray for scorpions again and he found an enormous shedded snake skin next to the house and Victor was kind of afraid to tell me about it but then I went to go look at it and it was a used paper towel. Swear to God. Then Victor was all "Dude. That's totally a snake skin. Look at the diamond scale pattern" and I was all "That's a textured diamond-weave to absorb more wetness. You can tell it's a paper towel because snake skins aren't square and perforated" and I spread it out and then he was all "Huh. That's a fucking paper towel."
This is all true, y'all. We're probably not going to survive the year.

Fire Rating Assembly - PVC Conduit (01/03/2001)
Passing PVC Through A Fire Rated Assembly
Mike, I'd like to run my grounding electrode conductor in PVC, but I need to go through a fire rated concrete deck from floor to floor.
Q1. Is it legal to run PVC through a fire rated floor if it is fire caulked?
Mike Holt's Answer: Yes. Section 300-21 states that electrical installations in hollow spaces, vertical shafts, and ventilation or air-handling ducts shall be made so that the possible spread of fire or products of combustion will not be substantially increased. Openings around electrical penetrations through fire-resistant-rated walls, partitions, floors, or ceilings shall be firestopped using approved methods to maintain the fire resistance rating.
FPN: Directories of electrical construction materials published by qualified testing laboratories contain many listing installation restrictions necessary to maintain the fire-resistive rating of assemblies where penetrations or openings are made. An example is the 24-in. (610-mm) minimum horizontal separation that usually applies between boxes on opposite sides of the wall. Assistance in complying with Section 300-21 can be found in these directories and product listings.
Mike Holt's Comment: My answer really doesn't solve this person's problem. Since this is a fire rating issue (I'm not an expert on this subject) I need someone to explain exactly how PVC can be installed through a fire rated assembly. Let's assume the PVC is 1" and the fire assembly is a concrete floor between occupancies. How can the installation be installed so that it meets the NEC requirements and it's cost effective?
Q2. If not can I change to EMT the raceway to EMC and pass it through the floor than back to PVC without having to bond the piece of EMT?
Mike Holt's Answer: No. Section 250-64(e) States that the metal enclosures for grounding electrode conductors shall be electrically continuous from the point of attachment to cabinets or equipment to the grounding electrode, and shall be securely fastened to the ground clamp or fitting. Metal enclosures that are not physically continuous from cabinet or equipment to the grounding electrode shall be made electrically continuous by bonding each end to the grounding conductor.
Response No. 1
We are not electrical engineers but we understand that NEC does not prescribe method of firestopping and refer to the building code requirements. The model building codes prescribe firestopping tests as per ASTM E814 (UL 1479) test protocol. Manufacturers of firestopping sealants have listings (test designs that have been tested and witnessed by 3rd party testing agency), which would permit the firestopping of specific electrical penetration. The rationales of these tests are to ensure the rated building assemblies being penetrated continue to perform as its intended purpose. The assembly is exposed to a standard time-temp and does not address specific electrical fires. Hope this helps.
From: Ed Lin
Response No. 2
I was copied on e-mail from David Penasa of BPLW Architecture and you, concerning firestopping. If you ever need assistance with firestopping electrical penetrations in rated assemblies, please contact our Engineering Dept mailto:email@example.com or me.
Talk to a manufacturer. I just heard a great presentation at my office given by Alan Powell firstname.lastname@example.com of Passive Fire Protection Partners https://www.firestop.com. I'm sure he would be glad to answer your question in great detail.
David A. Penasa, PE
Response No. 3
Before putting something through a fire rated assembly, it is best to:
1) Refer to the plans to determine exactly what type of assembly the architect has designed. This will/should be noted by a design number (for example W-L-1011, or UL 243) and then,
2) Cross-reference it to the UL Fire Resistance Directory, Vol 2. This is the only way you can be sure what types of materials have been tested with what system. If you do it this way you will meet every requirement placed on you!
Bill Butler
Response No. 4
There is an approved method: an entumensent sealing kit, (I may have misspelled the word) it expands when heated (as in a fire) and crushes the hot PVC tightly. It is made specifically for PVC pipe and is an UL listed assembly.
Earl C. Dean
Response No. 5
I think the solution is relatively simple. The PVC conduit does not need to be continuous, so
the installer can stop short a couple of inches of the concrete wall/deck on both sides, pass the
grounding conductor through the hole and filling the hole with fire retardant caulk, or fitting. Potential
manufacturer: ROX @ https://www.roxtec.com/.
There are others with UL approved caulking material.
Laszlo Z Weress
Response No. 6
The answers given were correct. The type fire construction should be detailed on the plans, by
UL number (or other design number) and construction details. The people who sell fire caulk will be
glad to provide you an approved method to seal the penetration, if you buy from them especially so.
You need to know:
- The required time rating of the assembly. 1 hour/2 hour/3 hour/4 hour
- The construction details and number of the wall or floor assembly.
- The penetration. Metal conduit is different from PVC. 4" is different from 1/2" Cables are different.
- The approval of the building inspector, the general contractor, the architect, the electrical inspector.
I know that sounds extreme, but each of these may have veto power over what you do. This is not
to say that they are likely to reject an approved method backed up by documentation. But a prudent
person would be prepared.
Many times it is not as difficult as one might think. A piece of romex or service entrance cable can penetrate a one hour sheetrock wall with only secure support (staples to framing members) and a bead of fire caulk that fills an annular space of approximately 1/4" all the way around the cable and the depth of the sheetrock. That is only a squirt on each side. If someone knocks out a 4" hole to run the cable all bets are off. If the hole is so tight the material cannot go around the cable but only a fillet on the surface, it is not proper. Have the details, have the manufacturer's installation instruction, and get approval on the first floor before doing the entire building.
Often the poured concrete floors have large openings and require a support on the bottom, a packing of mineral wool, and a final layer of 1/2" - 1" of fire caulk. Sometimes it is easier to contract with a fire sealing specialist. Or dedicate a person/crew to do that only. Neatness counts and saves expensive material.

Genre: Contemporary/Mystery
Release Date: 2/5/2013
Add to Goodreads
About the Book: Mallory doesn't remember the details of the evening but she knows that Brian is dead and she's responsible. But Mallory knows it was self-defense. She can still feel Brian's presence around her-or can she? Is it all in her head? In order to start over and get away, her parents send her off to the boarding school her father attended. But Mallory's secrets follow her-and she can't escape the past.
GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: The premise for Hysteria is what made me interested in the novel. Mallory dealing with a difficult situation in the past and learning how to overcome it and move on is what makes the book work. Unfortunately, the rest of story fell a bit flat for me.
The writing is well done and the times the suspense is built up kept me engaged as a reader. But I found the flashes that Mallory gets as her memory is trying to come back too distracting. I loved and appreciated the way the author worked them in so that they didn't come in order and didn't always make sense. It was a great literary device and made the reader feel as though they were experiencing what Mallory was experiencing. Yet it just didn't work for me and I'm not sure why. I think instead it made me more distanced from Mallory than connected and caring about her story. Mallory wasn't sure who she was so at times I wasn't sure who Mallory was and it made me disconnected as a reader.
I was also a bit distracted by how many boys I was supposed to keep track of. Brian, was Mallory's sort of boyfriend, Dylan, his brother and Mallory's original crush, and Reid, the boy Mallory knew from her past and is her new crush at school, and Jason, the school bad boy that maybe is hitting on Mallory. It was just too distracting having so many love interests.
The plot was pretty slow moving as well. If you read the actual synopsis on Goodreads, it spoils something that happens very late in the plot. I knew that going in and it took much to long to actually get there, which made the plot drag. The pacing of the book didn't work to always build suspense. There would be a nice run of mysterious happenings and then it would sizzle out and drag for awhile.
Mallory has a best friend character that was pretty cool and I liked her a lot, but I felt their relationship wasn't as developed as well as it could have been. Her friendship with Colleen and her possible romance with Reid were what kept me reading and finish the book, but they weren't the most engaging either.
There was just too much happening in the plot and the ultimate mystery happening at the school ended up feeling underdeveloped and rushed when it was all figured out. I even felt that the truth about the night with Brian was a let down after all the build up and expected a bit more. The two storylines just never seemed to work well together and at times it felt like I was reading two different books and I wondered how everything fit together.
I think there are readers who will enjoy this book and like the mystery aspects of the plot. It was a great premise and there were some great moments with the characters. Ultimately, it just wasn't the right book for me.

Medicine Will Never Be the Same
Researchers at the University of Virginia find link between brain and immune system
Recently, researchers at the University of Virginia have made a discovery that will change medicine forever. They have discovered vessels that link your brain and immune system that were previously thought not to exist. What are these vessels you ask?… Lymph vessels. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins. The main function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph throughout the body. Lymph is a fluid that contains infection-fighting white blood cells. So why is this a big deal? Well, there are a couple reasons. As a chiropractor, I have noticed that the immune system function of my patients has improved with chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine, an area very close to the brain stem. Also, there is a group of neurological disorders and diseases called immune-mediated diseases. These are diseases where your own immune system attacks the central nervous system, causing damage. These diseases include psoriasis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis. Finding this link between the immune system and the brain solves a lot of unanswered questions as well as poses many new ones. It will change the way we treat a range of neurological diseases from Alzheimer's to autism. In Alzheimer's disease for instance, there are accumulations of protein chunks in the brain. Researchers theorize that they may be accumulating in the brain because they're not being efficiently removed by these vessels. And there is a large array of other neurological diseases, autism being one of them, that must be reconsidered in the light of this new discovery.
How does this relate to chiropractic? Can my chiropractor help with immune system function?
As a chiropractor, this subject is also very interesting to me. For years chiropractors have talked with their patients about the immune system benefits of neck adjustments. It was never 100% understood but patients suffering from cold and flu like symptoms recovered faster while under chiropractic care. This was first observed during the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918. Out of every 10,000 people 950 of them died under conventional medical treatments. Under chiropractic care however, only 25 out of 10,000 died. The same trend was also seen for pneumonia during the same time period. Although it wasn't completely understood, drugless methods and chiropractic were seemingly having great immune boosting effects when compared to conventional treatments at the time. This new discovery may shed some light on the specifics of why chiropractic has this effect on ones immunity.
Also, I personally am very interested in what this discovery will mean for finding the cause of autism. If you haven't already check out our blog on Autism, now may be a good time. Vaccinations have come under fire as being a potential cause for the rise in autism we've seen in the last 30 years. The amount of required childhood vaccinations has risen 3 to 4 times what it was in the 70's and 80's and the cases of autism has risen dramatically from 1 in 2000 to 1 in 50. This is merely a correlation, but there are many other factors that seemingly point to vaccines that make them suspicious. What is interesting is how this will change the argument, knowing that the vaccines that directly influence your immune system are now known to have a direct link to the brain. This is an exciting time in medical research.

|Chemicals, Paints, Stains, etc. Index
History From "Industrial Interests of Newark" 1874
From "Newark - The City of Industry" - 1912
Newark, like many other progressive American cities, has kept pace with the great development and commercial advancement which are characteristic of the age, and in many respects has outrun those cities which were formerly its leaders in trade. Her business men are among the most enterprising, progressive and far-sighted in the country and in almost every line of trade have built up patronage which redounds to their credit.
An establishment which has, through its products and its representatives, done as much as almost any enterprise in the city to spread the name and fame of Newark over a wide territory, is that of The Listers Agricultural Chemical Works. As long ago as 1850, this now extensive business had its rather modest beginning. It was founded by Alfred and Edwin Lister, and for many years traded under the name of Lister Brothers. Subsequently, about 1885, an incorporated company was formed, with a capitalization of $600,000.00, and the business title was changed to Listers Agricultural Chemical Works, under which name it has grown to its present magnitude.
The company is engaged in the manufacture of bone fertilizers, bone black, glue, grease, etc., and it is no exaggeration to say these products are known and sold all over the civilized world. The company possessing long experience and thorough knowledge of the business, is placing upon the markets of this and other countries, a class of fertilizers which have been proven by actual tests and chemical analyses to be unsurpassed in general field results. This well-known fact has proved a valuable asset to the company in its business career, and it is not a matter of surprise that an increasing volume of business is yearly transacted.
The company's plant on Lister Avenue covers eighteen acres, advantageously situate, and is equipped with the best machinery. Four hundred and fifty persons are employed.
The officers of the company are President John F. Kehoe and Secretary-Treasurer Harry B. Carpenter.

One of the two components of the park will be an Olympic City occupying the lion's share of the park's area — 965 acres — earmarked for the park, with 29 acres dedicated to different Olympic sports to be built in the area. Additionally, there are plans for sports clubs, training and coaching centres, convention centres, malls and theme parks within the park. The Olympic Village will cover 130 acres and consist of 5,000 housing units, primarily 3 & 4-BHK flats. Moreover, the residential enclave will be designed to provide accommodation to participants and others associated with sporting events.

LED Landscape Lighting
There are several lighting systems that can be used for the outdoors. However, you need the best type of lighting, especially if you are going to use the outdoors quite a lot for your night events. You probably agree with me that you want to have clients and guests in your outdoors with very good lighting rather than in very poor lighting where they can barely see. The best lighting feature that I recommend you is the LED lighting.
This feature can be used on so many parts of your outdoors. I love seeing them against walls or along a driveway, you can also have the experts install them on the trees or plants. The patio and external walls of your commercial or residential property also need good lighting. This feature is not only for the purpose of getting good lighting but can also be used as a security feature for your security lights.
I bet that at some point you have heard a noise in your outdoors and you look through your window, but before you do that, you obviously have to turn on the lights so that you can see clearly. There you go, now you see the importance of this feature The importance attached to this also goes to show that you need to have the design of the lighting system done by experts in the business. You can only be sure that the feature is when the professionals carry out the design for you and the installation as well.
We have several companies that are into lighting features for the outdoors. Some of them only specialize in lighting solutions, but I recommend that you use a company that has other services as well. It is because such a company will ensure that the installation and design of the lighting system consider the rest of your outdoors to ensure that each element and feature blends well.
If you want the best features, consider Arlington Landscape Designs & Outdoor Living Professionals. Our team of professionals is unbeatable. They truly know how to make sure that you get the best lighting that will be useful and will complement the rest of your outdoor features.

Pump Your Book Virtual Tours Presents: Two Are Better: Midlife Newlyweds Bicycle Coast to Coast by Tim Bishop, Debbie Bishop
With no prior experience in either bicycle touring or marriage, 52-year-olds Tim and Debbie Bishop went from an engagement, to Tim's "retirement" and relocation, to a cross-country trek in just ten weeks. Their adventure, which touches on midlife change, marriage, and faith, inspires its readers to cast away the old and the stale in pursuit of their dreams.
About The Authors
Debbie grew up in Connecticut and New York, and lived in Colorado for 20 years before moving back east and living in Massachusetts for the past 17 years. She taught school for over 25 years and recently retired from her position as a literacy specialist. Tim was born and raised in Houlton, Maine. He is a CPA and worked for a private company in Maine as their treasurer. We met each other on the Internet in 2003 and married in 2010. We were both 52 when we got married and neither of us had been married before.
Blog: http://www.openroadpress.com/virtual-book-tour-stop-16/
My Review:
I loved the faith of these two souls. Tim and Debbie find each other and end up marrying at age 52. Just how they were put in the path of one another, warms my heart.
Once they are married they embark on an unusual honeymoon. They fly to Oregon and begin a bicycle trip across the USA. They seem to be put in the right place at the right time to witness to others. The book is chocked full of beautiful, and breathtaking photos. We sure are blessed to live here.
Come along and share the ride and events that happen along their trip. Some are very unusual, and there are a few chuckles too. Most of the story seems to be written by Tim, but there are reports by Debbie...enjoy two different perspectives of the same event!
A enjoyed this fast read, and lingered over the pictures of this wonderful, and eventful trip.
I received this book through Pump Your Book Virtual Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.

"I am starting to get my grandmother's feet!" I hear this a lot from my patients with bunions! And they are right on the money when it comes to this!
Bunions are these small to massive bumps on the inside of your foot where the big toe attaches to the rest of the foot. Small or large, if you have a bunion, you will notice your big toe is pointing towards the toe next to it. Over the years, you may notice that you are having some soreness to the bump usually accompanied by some localized redness. Your soreness may start off as just on the occasion you decide to wear a shoe that is a little too snug. The discomfort resolves when you wear a better shoe. Many times the soreness does not progress beyond that. There is an unfortunate group of people, however, who are not so lucky. For these folks, as the years wear on, they may find that they get the same pain more often. It is now coming on not just with ill-fitting shoes, but with most shoes and during most activity, including walking! Then, of course there is every thing in between; pain only with exercise or only gardening or yada, yada, yada!
Where ever your pain is at this point, it should not be ignored. You just may end up as yet the most unfortunate group of patients, (oh yes, there is more!), who come in when it is too late to just "fix the bunion". You see, when a joint does not line up correctly (and having a bunion means your joint does not line up correctly), you develop arthritis. When the arthritis is bad, there is no way to save the joint. This means you may actually end up needing to have the joint replaced! Not a good situation.
Should you notice your bunion misbehaving, make it a point that day to request an appointment with your favorite FAANT podiatrist. Remember, your feet are your only set of tires!

The Cuban archipelago encompasses some 200 bays, 4,000 isles and cays, and 600 kilometres of coral-reef-protected beaches. Cuba is vastly different from the rest of the Caribbean, with unique cultural influences that have captured the island in a snapshot of history.
Embark in Cienfuegos on Cuba's south coast. After having settled in on board, take a stroll through the town's colonial-era buildings with a local historian who will point out the Spanish fortress and castle, and provide you with a backdrop to Cuba's history and cultural heritage.
In the afternoon, head for the inlets and bays that are frequented by dolphins and dive in with a snorkel for a closer encounter.
In the evening, ead back into the city to dance at Cienfuegos Club in Punta Gorda. Enjoy the delights of the Cuban disco with live music.
Playa Ancon, located near Trinidad, is one of Cuba's most pristine beaches and is 4km long. The sand is powdery white and the sea is beautifully calm and warm with perfect conditions for snorkelling and scuba diving. Indeed there are over 30 dive spots in the abundant coral reefs, making this a popular spot for serious divers.
Overnight passage to the Gardens of the Queen National Park.
Sixty miles off the southeastern coast, Jardines del Reina (Gardens of the Queen) National Park encompasses a chain of 250 virgin coral and mangrove islands. It is Cuba's first marine park and the largest 'no-take' marine reserve in the Caribbean.
Due to its intact connectivity between seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs, as well as the remoteness of the area and its long history of protection, Gardens of the Queen represents a "baseline" for an early Caribbean marine ecosystem; a pristine ecosystem that is home to healthy populations of Caribbean reef sharks and Goliath groupers, important grazers like rainbow parrotfish and long-spined sea urchins, and recovering endangered species such as elk horn coral and hawksbill sea turtles.
There is also an extraordinary area back in the mangroves where dive operators over many years have developed a relationship with a few resident American crocodiles!
Overnight passage to Cayo Largo.
Cayo Largo is another "crown jewel" of Los Canarreos Archipelago with its 24km of stunning beaches that are open to the Caribbean Sea, including the Playa Sirena and the Playa Blanca.
It is said that in some spots, it is possible to find hidden treasures because according to old chronicles, from 1563 to1784, there were around 200 shipwrecks in this zone.
Cayo Largo has a diversity of species, extensive swamp areas with a predominance of "caleta" grape and mangrove woods, where you can observe birds and enjoy the quietness and privacy that only privileged places offer. The shallow waters are also home to stingrays and manta rays.
You will have the possibility to visit the Sea Turtle Rescue Centre and join keepers in releasing giant sea turtles before joining them in the water to swim.
On the archipelago, you may also join locals and go bottom fishing for fresh lobsters and also to visit a monkey sanctuary and join the keepers looking after these endangered creatures.
The Island of Youth (Isladela Juventud) was discovered by Christopher Columbus in his second voyage to the New World. It used to be a safe shelter for pirates, corsairs and buccaneers, and it has been the source of many legends that still prevail today. Explore the island with a local guide and learn about the piratical history of the area - the stories will delight guests both young and old.
Its waters offer one of the most significant diving zones in the world, the Punta Frances National Marine Park at the Colony (southwest of the island).
If you are not diving, take the yachts tender will to visit these protected areas with a specialist snorkel guide, who will show you one of the best snorkelling locations in Cuba.
Overnight passage back to Cayo Largo for disembarkation the next morning.

Companies can really count themselves lucky when Apple gives them a mention on stage during the opening keynote of WWDC. Not only is their product being pushed to thousands of developers in the room who are eager to see the progression of a platform, but the live stream is also consumed on a truly global scale from technology fans around the world. During the tvOS section of the keynote at the WWDC 2016 event, Apple announced that the Apple TV was about to benefit from the release of a Sling TV app.
Sling has now confirmed that by announcing that the app is now available to download from the tvOS App Store right now.
The rollout of the Sling TV app on the tvOS App Store not only advances the fourth-generation Apple TV as a platform, but it also introduces a new multichannel live TV experience to those consumers who actually count on the set-top-box as part of their main living room entertainment. As part of that release, Sling has promised to deliver a "live, linear and on-demand multichannel pay-TV service all within a single app". In short, download Sling TV, sign up, and access live content from FX, TNT, HBO, and many, many more.
The company is also offering additional access to new channels owned by Fox and Viacom to all subscribers who download the Apple TV app and sign up to its beta multi-stream service.
If you're using the Sling TV app on an iPhone or iPad, and will be choosing to download and consume Sling TV on your Apple TV, then you will be surprised by a brand-new user-interface that is currently available on Apple TV only but will ultimately migrate across to other devices. Sling tells us that they have packed in around five new improvements to that end:
-My TV
This is essentially an improved home screen, where you can find what you wish to watch with content personalized to your liking. "My Channels will preview what's on now, and you'll see how long until the next show airs." Users will also have access to a Continue Watching ribbon, as well as a Favorites ribbon, and much more.
–New Mini Guide
Simply swiping up using the Siri Remote on the Apple TV while in Sling TV will now launch a revamped 'mini' guide which not only makes it much easier to keep track of what's next and what's on, but does so by making room for more information to be displayed.
-On Now
Get a good look at what's live right now, as the app curates content that is playing right now and categorizes them according to the genre for easy navigation.
Dedicated to those serial series watchers out there. This particular feature allows you to keep track of the episodes you've already seen and which ones you would want to see from your favorite TV shows.
-Siri Remote Dictation
As is obvious, you can now "easily sign in to the app or find a specific program, channel or actor just by using your voice."
And if that's not enough of an incentive to make you purchase an Apple TV – if you don't already own one – then there's also a bundle discount on the table. If your intention is to purchase an Apple TV, and you ultimately want to join the new Sling TV experience, then consumers will have the option to purchase a new 32GB Apple TV for $89 – reduced from $150 – when they take out a Sling TV subscription and pre-pay three months in advance at $20 per month. So essentially, Apple is offering three months free access to Sling TV for those who were going to buy an Apple TV anyway.
