Nickel plating of FBG strain sensors for nuclear applications
Perry, M. and Niewczas, P. and Johnston, Michael and Mackersie, J. (2011) Nickel plating of FBG strain sensors for nuclear applications. In: 21st International Conference on Optical Fiber Sensors. Proceedings of SPIE . SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering., Bellingham. ISBN 9780819482464Full text not available in this repository.Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
We present a method for plating FBG strain sensors with a strongly-bonded, hermetic nickel layer, without exposure of the fiber to corrosive environments. A 1 mu m thick, highly adhesive chrome layer is deposited onto bare fibers via evaporation. Addition of an inert and electrically conductive gold layer then allows the fiber to be electroplated with a 50-100 mu m nickel layer. Finite element models have confirmed that nickel plated FBG sensors can be brazed into steel structures and used to monitor local strain and temperature. Embedding gratings that are temperature and radiation resistant will be particularly applicable to the structural health monitoring of steel prestressing tendons used in the concrete containments of nuclear power plants and other safety-significant structures.

People tend to pay more attention to bad news — and it's not just because we're morbid. Social scientists theorize that it's on account of our selective attention and that, given the choice, we perceive negative news as being more important or profound. We also tend to give more credibility to bad news, perhaps because we're suspicious (or bored) of proclamations to the contrary.

A reception will precede the lecture in Blount Lobby at 5:30 p.m.
The campus community is invited to attend a lecture by Professor Steve Haynes on the legacy of Bejamin Palmer, namesake of Palmer Hall.
2018 marks the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein, but it also marks nearly two decades since the concept of the Anthropocene was proposed as a new strata—marking a threshold, where humans as a species have altered the earth at a geological level. Frankenstein might seem to be the anti-Promethean manifesto for our time, warning us against playing God, asking us to be more mindful of the moral presence of nature. There is, however, a hyper-Promethean way in which we might read Shelley's Frankenstein. Rather, than take on Victor Frankenstein's moral anguish that he was guilty of over-reaching, perhaps we should look at the world from the point of view of the orphaned creature, whose only thought of life is not survival, procreation, and longevity: not living on, but living with nature.
A reception will precede the lecture at 5:30 p.m.
Gene Baur has been hailed as "the conscience of the food movement" by Time magazine. Since the mid-1980s, he has traveled extensively, campaigning to raise awareness about the abuses of industrialized factory farming and our system of cheap food production. A pioneer in the field of undercover investigations, Gene has visited hundreds of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting the deplorable conditions that exist. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals.

"In Algeria, there will be free elections guaranteed by an independent Electoral Commission". This is the commitment of the new Deputy Prime Minister of the country, Ramtane Lamara.
New Deputy Prime Minister Ramtane Lamamra has booked his first media appearance as Deputy Prime Minister at a foreign media outlet (RFI).
A few hours after the declaration of President Bouteflika not to stand as a candidate for a 5th term, former Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamara and new Deputy Prime Minister has chosen RFI to announce the milestones of the transition which, according to him, will make Algeria "A democracy equal to the great democracies of the world".
An Algerian news website aims at covering all the country's territory through providing objective and positive image, focusing the most on breaking news.
A dynamic team is working on feeding the website by credible information in all fields of life; a reliable network composed of specialized elements working in harmony with our team in Algiers, the website's headquarter, provides us more coverage and simultaneity.
"English" is what makes us different in Algeria and ranks us first too not only as a news website; English also makes it simple and fast for Anglophone world to discover our country.

KEW Gardens fended off the late challenge of favourite Lah Ti Dar to give Aidan O'Brien a sixth victory in the William Hill St Leger at Doncaster.
Sent off a 3-1 chance in the hands of Ryan Moore, Kew Gardens was buried in the pack early on as stablemate Nelson set the early gallop in company with Derby runner-up Dee Ex Bee.
They were lining up in behind with half a mile still to run — where inexperience seemed to tell on the market leader — and Moore was eager to push on, assuming control at the two-furlong point.
Lah Ti Dar eventually did hit her stride for Frankie Dettori, but Kew Gardens had already flown, securing his second Group One victory of the season by two and a quarter lengths.
Fellow O'Brien inmate Southern France kept on for third, a further four and a half lengths adrift.
Kew Gardens won the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot back in June as well as the Grand Prix de Paris in July and O'Brien was delighted to see the Galileo colt add a Classic to his record.
He said: "We couldn't be happier with him. He's a horse that's progressed lovely.
"We saw what he did in (Ascot) and we were delighted with him in France.
"We always thought he was a horse that would stay well and we thought the distance would suit him.
"He has a lot of class and we're over the moon really."

Brielle Biermann Gives a Glimpse at Her Fabulous First Apartment
The Don't Be Tardy daughter is "feeling so blessed" about her new home.
Brielle Biermann officially has a place of her own. The Don't Be Tardy daughter recently gave fans a little tour of her new apartment on Instagram, and it looks like a 21-year-old's dream pad.
After sharing her hopes of one day moving into her own place last season of Don't Be Tardy, Brielle confirmed in January that she would be getting her own home. She even shared some provocative art her mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann gave her as an early birthday present for her new crib.
Now Brielle is finally getting ready to move into her new apartment. Brielle gave fans a little glimpse at the space — and its stunning view on Instagram Monday. "#askbelievereceive," Brielle quoted Kim's famous mantra in the caption to the post. "Feeling so blessed to be in my first apartment!"
Brielle's move into her own apartment may have been what she was referring to when she implied that she was "moving" in a video shared in her Instagram Stories last week. At the time, fans wondered if Brielle's video meant that the entire family was moving out of their Atlanta home, but Kim was quick to clarify on Twitter. "Brielle has done lost her mind. We aren't moving," she tweeted.
Brielle gave even more of a tour of her new two-bedroom abode in her Instagram Story, showing off her marble bathroom and what the gorgeous view from her apartment looks like at night.

She's also enlisted the help of some friends, including the Biermanns' personal chef Tracey Bloom, to get her apartment ready to live in.

PETALING JAYA: The defence ministry (Mindef) today lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the takeover of the Automated Enforcement System (AES) valued at RM555 million.
The statement said the takeover of AES was under the directive of an employee in the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT), with intervention from the former prime minister and a few former Cabinet ministers to serve their political interests.
After the Pakatan Harapan took over the government in May 2018, they set up an investigation committee to look into dubious documents and purchasing of assets by the Barisan Nasional government.
The defence ministry was the first to be audited by the investigation committee, headed by Auditor-General Ambrin Buang.
Mindef said they had handed over the findings of this investigation committee to MACC.
"Suspicion arose as to why LTAT paid RM555 million to take over AES when the original cost was RM40 million," said Rafizal Ali, special officer to the defence minister.
Rafizal also said Ambrin's committee implied that the implementation of the AES benefitted the concessionaires while putting the government at a risk of loss.
"The decision by LTAT to take over the AES project, made in a discussion unrecorded in minutes between the former prime minister and a few ministers in September 2014, has raised doubts," he said.
Rafizal then called on MACC to launch an investigation to identify the real reason behind LTAT's takeover of AES at an inflated price.

Do you remember the huge Snapchat update that basically annoyed everyone? Well, Snap is moving a bit and is redesigning the redesign after receiving just a barrage of boos from his once-loyal user base.
The latest update, which was recently rolled out to iOS users by the Los Angeles Times trenches the "Friends" page, which churned chats and stories together. The content is separated again and the chats are displayed in chronological order so that you no longer search for Snapchat's mysterious algorithm trying to guess who you want to talk to.
When booting up the redesigned app, users are redirected directly to their camera. You can show conversations with friends by swiping to the left, while Stories now live on a special page that you can access by swiping right. Stories are now also presented in feeds: friends; Subscriptions to publishers and people you follow; and for you to see the recommended content of Snapchat for you.
The change that was first released by Snapchat in February and officially announced by Snap CEO Evan Spiegel during the company's first quarter earnings coverage in May First, Snapchat seems to have the intention to listen to its users ̵
Snap basically knew from the day that the update first fell that things would go bad, as complaints from almost every region went into the update. When it came to the biggest markets, its fate was already sealed. More than a million people hurried to sign a petition to have Snapchat return to its previous interface, and users began posting scathing reviews. TechCrunch reported that 83 percent of the reviews for the new Snapchat were negative.
Snapchat was eventually forced to recognize the horde of angry users, a group that included once-celebrity Snapchat user Kylie Jenner, but insisted that the redesign was not possible anywhere.
What the company apparently turned in their attitude were not user complaints, but the fact that the update was unable to increase the company's revenue. According to the latest earnings report, user growth has slowed down since the update fell and only very old people like it – not exactly Snapchat's target audience. Snap loses money and does not grow, which are two things a company should probably not do at the same time if it intends to stay there for a while, especially if its only other innovative idea is another wearable camera.
The revised redesign is unlikely to save Snap, especially as Instagram is constantly penetrating its territory, showing that its signature features are easily replicable. Snapchat users could by and large be more forgiving than Rhianna, for example, from the excuse she got for tasteless advertising from the app, but first they need to get the update in their hands. Users on iOS get the change, but there's no word about availability for Android.

The download for the track also reveals accompanying cover art, which is a photo of Kardashian and the sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner at Kylie's last 21

The song never showed up on the released album and it did not turn out We see Ghosts from Kid Cudi and West.
Days prior to the "XTCY" drove west appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live for an extensive discussion during which he defended his support for Trump, but later became silent when Kimmel asked what made him believe that Trump cared about black people.
"It's not about politics" I'm not a politician, but it represented to overcome fear and do what you felt, no matter what someone said and said you can not bump me, liberals can not bump me, news can not bully me, hip-hop community, they can not bully me, "he said to support Trump." Because, when I'm afraid to be me, there's no longer Ye. That's what makes Ye. And I really enjoy when people are actually angry with some things. "

As we ramp up to October 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month', it is time to get ready for the over use of medical sound bites. This is really annoying I find. I mean 'they are so close to finding a cure' or as in today's newspaper is a big article on how looking at how cells change, they think they are on to something - but have been working on it for ten years and its still not finished. Or the latest Newsweek says 'Time to Rethink The War on Cancer'. All this research is going on but nothing is ready yet. Why can't they talk about the stuff that is available for treatment? They keep telling us great things are coming but you can't have them - its like playing Keep Away on the elementary school playground! Very frustrating for all of us.
Then the other thing is the media will grab on to their little sound bite and blow it all out of proportion and make it sound like its a big breakthrough. Grr. Grr. Grr.
Yesterday I went to a friend's wedding. It was a lot of fun. It was very tiring. I did something stupid - I decided to dance and have a good time. Then I got tired early and had to come home. If I had been smart and just around and talked to people, maybe I would have lasted longer. Anyhow, it was a lot of fun and I got to see people I hadn't seen in a very long time. I also met a friend for a walk before it. Possibly that contributed to overdoing it too.
Today I have to do some work at home and then go for a walk and then go to work in the afternoon. And recover from yesterday. Blah!

sony xperia xz1 compact hands -on Review
So, you desire an Android power-house that won't tear your pockets, at the very least not in the literal sense, that is? Sony's Compact line has traditionally been among the starting points to turn to. The choice beyond that is restricted to state the least. That being said, while a lot of us around the workplace can not exactly relate to the problems of small type aspect fans, we can certainly understand a few of their feelings for in 2015's Xperia X Compact.
Don't obtain us wrong, we appreciate Sony's effort on a solid upper-midrange deal, but it just really did not have the raw power of its precursors. Judging by the glossy brand-new Xperia XZ1 Compact, we were not the only ones that listened to the reaction from Sony's last Compact release. The Japanese giant was plainly making note, and quite thorough ones at that.
Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact essential features
Join us on the following web page for our initial hands-on impressions.
Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact hands-on
Generally, the Xperia XZ1 Compact looks and acts like a pressed variation of its bigger brother, which actually is the bottom line. So no problems there. Certainly, there are some notable cutbacks occasionally, yet nothing too severe in our book.
The XZ1 Portable sporting activities a much cleaner as well as uniform finish, without visible antenna lines. This is a clear benefit from ditching steel as well as choosing a glass fiber reinforced plastic instead. Currently, we do not actually want to enter the whole plastic versus metal discussion here, but let's simply concur that both have their benefits. While some may value the trademark feeling of the XZ1 alloy extra, there is a whole lot to be said regarding the sturdiness, or instead, lower sensitivity to dents and scrapes of a plastic build.
And also, the XZ1 Compact really feels actually strong, and Sony did an excellent job with the surfaces: toned down, yet spirited for the Perspective Blue and also Golden Pink varieties and also a much more serious, official try to find Snow Silver and Black. And also, returning to our previous point, you do get to take pleasure in the color continuous by antenna lines and plastic inserts.
Product swap apart, the shape of the XZ1 Compact is quite comparable to that of the regular XZ1. It is practically as if Sony took the XZ1 and also put in in a Xerox at let's claim 70%. After including some girth to accomodate the internals, that is. This, of course, implies it gets the new two-piece layout, without any different middle structure as well as a curvier profile, especially on the sides. Well, probably a little bit less curvy than its larger brother.
It still has that Sony distinct aim to it, simply a bit "jazzed-up". Let's say it's an obtained preference, and also opportunities are that you either love it or hate it. We do have to note that since the leading as well as lower sides have a contour in Sony's new "Loophole surface" style, the XZ1 Compact can not stand up by itself like much of its precursors. We can't truly picture that this affects prospective purchasers out there all that much, though. Sony likewise claims that the top as well as lower pieces are in fact metal and also practical antennas – an intriguing engineering selection.
While on the subject of little inconveniences, we can't fail to point out the relatively wide bezels around the 4.6-inch screen. Similar to with the XZ1, Sony claims it really needs the extra space to fit its trademark side-mounted power button/fingerprint visitor combination. It functions wonderful, as well as we do value the truth that Sony handled to pack it right into the smaller XZ1 Compact. Still, after seeing the XA1 and XA1 Ultra carrying out the bezeless appearance, we do sort of miss it.
Nitpicking apart, we truly do admire Sony's achievements in cramming practically all the XZ1 equipment right into a 129 x 64 x 9.3 mm, 140 gram body. While on the subject of controls, we value the convenient positioning as well as recesses for the comfortable power switch we discussed previously, also if it does use up some added space. The quantity rocker committed electronic camera shutter key are likewise well placed. It is particularly great to see the latter didn't obtain the boot in the shrink-down procedure.
The same goes for the 3.5 mm sound jack, which shares the leading bezel with a secondary microphone. On the opposite side, we discover an additional microphone (crucial for powering the XZ1 Compact's stereo audio capture) as well as a Type-C port. Behind it exists an older and also slower USB 2.0 interface instead of the USB 3.1 on the regular Xperia XZ1.
Just the SIM as well as MicroSD card tray occupy the left-hand side of the XZ1 Compact, which would produce a really tidy look, were it not for Sony's perseverance with its instead harsh design. It does not sit flush, yet at least it does it does a great task of securing the internals to assure the phone's IP65/68 score.
On the the front of the XZ1 Compact after that, where we find a mix on interesting hardware and also what is most likely the mobile's most significant specifications concession. Obviously, if you check out the specifications carefully enough, you know we are referring to the 720p IPS panel. Nonetheless, checking out the display face to face and taking a few additional points into consideration, this arrangement might just be a true blessing in disguise.
To begin with, 720p looks flawlessly fine on a 4.6-inch diagonal, as far as we are concerned. Both the Xperia X Compact as well as Z5 Compact before it back that declaration up perfectly. Plus, in spite of the downgrade in resolution, Sony still infused the panel with a variety of technology, consisting of TRILUMINOS, X-Reality as well as Dynamic Contrast Enhancement. The only thing actually missing from the listing is HDR support, which the Xperia XZ does have. We will certainly have to examine the advertised 138% sRGB coverage and also 600cd maximum brightness for ourselves in the thorough testimonial, however our initial subjective point of view of the method the 4.6-inch panel looks is rather favorable.
Then there is additionally the positive side of HD resolution to think about as well. For one, it must go easier on the 2,700 mAh battery inside the XZ1 Compact. By the way, an additional impressive size restraint success on Sony's part, when we take into consideration the XZ1 has the very same power pack on board, Qnovo Adaptive Charging, Quick Cost 3.0 and all. That implies we can probably anticipate better battery endurance out of the little sibling.
And that's not the only thing the XZ1 Compact will likely be better at. The Adreno 540, inside the Snapdragon 835 that is somehow packed into the small body only has to press pixels at a 720p native resolution. This should correspond to abominable on-screen making efficiency and leading in-game framework prices. Provided Sony takes care of to cool the chip appropriately, that is. The firm has an instead combined record in this area, yet it is familiar with cutting-edge services. We are truly eager to see just how well the XZ1 Compact holds its cool once we placed it with our strenuous evaluation examinations.
While still on the subject of cramming powerful hardware right into a compact body, one more point that Sony left intact on the XZ1 Compact is the S-Force Front Surround stereo speaker arrangement. Once again, we truly require to run some controlled tests to see how well it carries out, specifically in this smaller sized body, however it does sound truly crisp personally. Plus, Sony really did not miss on various other sophisticated sound functions either, like the DSEE HX upsampling engine, High-Resolution Sound and the Clear Audio+ equalizer. Bluetooth fansh are potentially in for a reward as well, given that the Bluetooth 5.0 modem is leveraged even additionally via using LDAC as well as AptX-HD modern technologies.
The video camera division on the XZ1 Compact resembles one more workout in space administration. Regardless of its smaller footprint, the 4.6-inch Experia has the exact same 19MP, 1/2.3 Exmor RS configuration its bigger sibling sports. You might have seen it on the Xperia XZ Costs or the XZs too.
At its core is Sony's clever RAM-buffered electronic camera pipe. It supplies a noticeable increase in handling time and makes it possible for a a few hero functions on the company's recent front runners. This consists of the incredibly slow movement 960 fps record at as well as HD resolution – still a sector leader. Also, there's the Anticipating Capture algorithm – excellent for breaking the perfect shot.
The Xperia XZ1 adds a few extras to the currently outstanding feature collection, which the Compact is furnished with too. Many noteworthy of these is probably autofocus ruptured. What it does is allow for blazing-last refocusing while recording ruptureds of still shots. This is a world-first in the smartphone realm and truly places Sony's Predictive Crossbreed Autofocus system and also stylish equipment configuration to the test. Combined with the 5-axis SteadyShot stablizing and Anti-Distortion Shutter technologies, Sony is likewise flaunting, we really have high expect this brand-new trick in Sony's electronic camera arsenal. Once again, our first experience with it is fairly favorable, but further testing is called for.
An additional novelty is a fresh new trigger for the Predictive Capture function. It still tracks moving things customarily, and now pays unique interest to smiles too. This sounds like a terrific way to break a perfect memory, however the program flooring is not really the area to completely check its efficiency.
It would certainly likewise be remiss people to neglect the 3D Maker application on board the Xperia XZ1 and also XZ1 Compact. It is an intriguing concept for sure as well as looks appealing sufficient, also if it does not have polish in its current kind. The idea is to perform a carefully led pan around a things as well as have the software change it right into a 3D item. The latter might be utilized as a character, imported into a VR or AR system as well as even printed out on a 3D printer. It supports preset settings for a scanning a face, head or food, as well as a freeform mode. The pre-loaded samples in each group appearance outstanding, but we could not really simulate the outcomes instantly. Once more, we'll reserve judgment for a later time.
To round the cam division off, we can't fail to note that the XZ1 Compact doesn't borrow it's selfie shooter from the routine XZ1. Instead in has an 8MP, 1/4″ snapper with an impressively large field of vision. 120 level, or a 12.5 mm matching need to be enough also for the most enthusiastic team shots. And in case that is a bit also wide to suit your routine selfie demands, there is likewise a toggle to bring it to 80 degree (22mm equivalent).
Because this is essentially an initial experience, it is a bit too early to go over software or performance. We are taking care of an early system in every feeling of words. Nevertheless, it might be worth mentioning that the phone at our disposal appears to run a primarily acquainted Xperia Launcher, at the very least aesthetically, that is. This might, extremely well, undergo alter, yet it does seem like Sony is thankfully not attempting to repair what is not broken. Not severely, all the same. The firm has actually also promised both the XZ1 as well as XZ1 Compact will certainly release, running Oreo.

Italian art gallery asks Germany to return Dutch masterpiece stolen by Nazi
The director of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence has urged Germany to return a Dutch masterpiece stolen by Nazi troops during the Second World War.
Eike Schmidt said the still-life Vase of Flowers by Dutch artist Jan van Huysum is in the hands of a German family who have not returned it despite numerous appeals.
Instead, intermediaries for the family have demanded payment for its return to Italy.
Mr Schmidt said "the painting is already the inalienable property of the Italian state, and thus cannot be 'bought'".
The oil on canvas had been hanging as part of the Pitti Palace collection in Florence from 1824 until the outbreak of the Second World War.
It was moved for safety during the war, then stolen by retreating German troops.

I know, most critics go to the Festival de Cannes looking forward to the Competition titles and maybe will grant themselves the joy of viewing the Un Certain Regard selection.

So instead of missing everything due to standing in the wrong line or going to a screening not open to my category of press, I'll go on down to the Marriott and the Espace Miramar and enjoy the films chosen by some of my esteemed friends — people like the wondrous Paolo Bertolin and other great film lovers and supporters.

Last week, we gave you a preview of some lesser-known bills recently signed into law by Dirk "Catch you on the Flipside, Idaho" Kempthorne. The Governor's pen continued to work overtime this week, and it wasn't just over the much-ballyhood pseudophenedrine thingy, the school bullies thingy or the Medicaid reform thingy. For instance, did you know that in Idaho:
• People buying a "glider kit" for their big-rig no longer have to pay sales tax on the kit. Nice glider, good buddy.
• Public employees are allowed to take a month-long leave of absence in order to donate organs, or five days to donate bone marrow.
• Children between the age of 16 and 18 are now allowed to make "anatomical gifts" for purposes of "transplantation, therapy, research or education," as long as they have parental consent.
• Organ donors are allowed to take up to a $5,000 tax credit after dishing out their bone marrow, intestines, kidneys, livers, lungs and pancreases (or is it pancreai?).
• During all future "disaster emergencies," neither the governor nor any other governmental entity will be allowed to impose restrictions on the possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display or use of firearms or ammunition. So y'all have fun and stay safe-ish, ya hear!
• Anyone who refuses to take a breathalyzer test when being grilled by a police officer for possibly driving under the influence will be subject to an immediate $250 fine.
• Anyone who refuses to take a breathalyzer test, and requests a hearing to explain why he (and the law says "he") refused, and then doesn't show up at the hearing, will have his license suspended for a year for the first offense. For a second offense, the suspension is two years.
• Alcohol vaporizers are now illegal to use, possess, purchase, sell or offer for sale in Idaho--that is, unless you're using it for "bona fide research or medical purposes" (wink, wink).
• Anyone who finds a dead body but doesn't tell a county coroner or law enforcement officer can be charged with a misdemeanor and put in county jail for a year.
• Non-profit organizations who put on shooting competitions, or who use shooting ranges, no longer have to pay sales tax on membership dues.
• Anyone who leaks personal information (read: identity theft) from a corporation or agency can be fined up to $25,000 per offense.
• Part-time members of governmental boards, commissions and councils will received $100 per diems. Good for them.

Tibby note: Because a couple of radio stations put these tales on their websites, I try to adhere to their rule: If it can't be talked about or said on the radio, the story won't get posted. I like that rule. Sure, it's my website, but I want you to enjoy my stories without being offended by their language. That said, I push those boundaries for the honesty of this story. I think you'll understand.
It was a cold morning in January. Since we live in Georgia, it may have been 35 or 40 degrees. We were freezing.
Over breakfast, we discussed the possibility of going someplace warm for a few days. By noon, our travel agent had set us up at a resort in the Dominican Republic.
If you don't have children, pets, or jobs (retired), spur of the moment vacations can happen.
We are fortunate to have a travel agent astute enough to warn us the great deal at this all-inclusive resort was due to the fact that it was brand-spanking' new. It's likely, she warned, they don't have all the kinks worked out yet.
No problem. We're really easy travelers. Stuff happens, you roll with it.
Stuff happened. Funny stuff.
Upon entering the room – OK, it was a suite - our 19-year old host began pointing out the amenities.
A mini-bar in both the kitchen and the bedroom. Impressive. Except they were stocked with Coors Light.
"Can we get Presidente (local beer) instead?" I asked.
Holding up a can of Coors Light, he said, "This is Presidente, I think. Just a different style."
No, buddy, that's a can of Coors Light.
And since it probably came from the brewery closest to the Dominican Republic, I'm guessing it's been imported all the way from Albany, Georgia.
But hey, he's 19, and it's possible he saw Presidente and Coors Light coming off the same truck from a distributor. He gets a pass on this one.
By the way, Albany, Georgia, has some rocks but is not in the Rockies.
Day two:
"Have you gotten your free welcome gift?"
No, we hadn't. But we know this routine. Your free welcome gift comes after you attend a meeting pitching 'membership' in the resort's brand.
Also known as timeshares.
Timeshares are fine for a particular type of vacationer, but we're wanderers and not a good fit. So, we have learned how to say no politely but convincingly.
These guys were not (immediately) taking no for an answer and proceeded to point out that our gift would contain several bottles of local goodies: liqueur, vanilla, etc.
Because of the language barrier, it took a little time to get across to them that we don't check luggage when we fly. We travel with carry-on bags only. There was no way we could take those bottles on the plane. Especially that 750 ml bottle of liqueur.
"Is no problem," one explained. "You wrap it up in your dirty clothes and sneak it on."
Hello! All these years of travel, and all I had to do to fool the x-ray machines was to wrap stuff up in my dirty clothes? I am such a dummy!
The IRS should let me write the trip off as an educational expense.
Speaking of educational experiences, boy, did we ever get one from a young group of fellow Georgians that set up camp next to us at a pool one day.
Keep in mind, it's an all-inclusive resort. Drinks are free. As the liquor flowed, so did the conversation.
We heard about everything: trucks, tractors, favorite menu items at Burger King. It was all good.
Until someone got stung by a wasp.
Faye wasn't the one that got stung, but it turns out, she's had the worst recent experience because she's allergic to bee stings.
"It caught me right on the back of my thigh, and it swelled up my leg from my knee all the way up."
A girlfriend encouraged her to give out all of the details. "Tell 'em about your butthole, Faye."
"Aw, yeah, my butthole swole up something awful. It was a mess."
Thanks, Faye. Thanks for the memories.

When I say "Fuck It" I really mean it
Tomorrow I'll be fifty-one and though birthdays don't bother me, my age does for some reason, I think it's because of issues in my life that led to living under conditions that suppressed who I am. It is really a story of not coping with grief and leading a life using coping strategies that I was not aware of because I was unable to assert my will on fulfilling my potential. Inside I feel a terrible frustration and when I think back over my life it still pains me, it makes me feel that I did not do the best I could, because I lacked the conviction to deliver it to the world. In my forties I did drink too much and this only exasperated my feelings of disconnection and further numbed my reality fulfilling my personal prophecy of life being a beautiful tragedy. My issue now is how to stop the sinking feeling in my heart, the feeling of deep melancholy that weights me down through the circumstances beyond my control. This feeling is deep and inconsolable because I have too many memories of sadness that I cannot erase, memories that in fact hold a part of me in the past and will not let me go, the personification of this feeling is highlighted in the memory of my mother after the death of my second sister. Her grief and sadness was inconsolable and broke her spirit and in doing so shattered mine, words will never describe how I felt to see the wounding of the woman whom I respected more than any other human being . She was called Maisie and taught me the ways of living the way I do, of exploring great depths of a spiritual and intellectual nature whilst holding on to a profound level of compassion and empathy, to enjoy the endeavour of those with great minds and she gave me the strength to follow the life that I do. To have the courage to live a life in society that is unconventional to an extreme and for the pursuit of a higher level of understanding in art and human expression and to do this quietly and not as some great egotistical performance. Her humanity and ways of being are at the core of my approach to life and feel like a gift, one of the few things that I can take comfort from. But my mothers suffering is still my most painful memory and the one thing that I cannot come to terms with, though it drives me to prove a point in ways of living and to constantly go that bit further with my art.
To cope with life and keep moving forward, I run every day, I don't drink or watch the tv, films or news and I spend plenty of time with my kids and stay awake till the early hours thinking, drawing and writing, desperately focused, so that I can reclaim my lost soul. I'm still a little angry with life, but I'm not down and out, I take no shit from anyone now because when I was down I saw to much of the ugliness of human nature and felt the destructive blows. But my process is a gradual one, an incremental rehabilitation into a life where I stand tall and assert my rights to be and do as I see fit. I want to set an example to my children, live with great strength and fortitude in the moment and pass on what I feel is good within the essence of me. Something hat I can only achieve through my art as I look to a continual development of ideas and thoughts as I express myself in an open and honest way. To live a life with true values based on the creation of what excites and fulfills my vision is all that I can do and in doing this my pain is sometimes eased momentarily, but it can never take away the sadness etched into my heart.
My life became a story of survival, a deep search to make sense of it all, to live with an extraordinary set of circumstances where my only weapon and defence is art, a life where in solitude I look to maintain my equilibrium and keep my spirits up in a constant battle where my thoughts are bombarded by painful memories. In this there is an extraordinary contradiction, because my art is thrown into a pretentious art world that seeks to judge the work on a criteria that bears no correlation to the reality of my life, no compassion or empathy, just the vain judgement of a protected elite, that views my heart-felt creativity as a product. Much of the world is soulless like this and it explains why artists take a battering as they hold onto their integrity by a thread. I know the fucking score out there and though I have to play by some of the rules I still say fuck it and keep most of my work to myself, because reality is an inconvenient truth.
In one sense the world gets what it deserves because ultimately the will of the people maintains a status quo and in art the world is short-changed because of the confines placed on artists, if you really think you are free and that artists are free then you are not trying hard enough, because when you really push yourself you can feel the weight of oppression that limits our lives. People often fire platitudes at me, your lucky, it's never been so good, you've got the choice, stop complaining, not understanding that the reality of creativity lies at a depth where you really feel the restrictions of a society that relies on convenience. Art is not some flippant expression from the top of your head or a shallow outburst, it is a deep expression from the soul, a human reaction to a perceived reality of existence. I'm aware that some artists go much deeper than others and I speak very much from my own perspective here, which is all anyone can do.

I'm a social person which means I like to talk to others and I usually like to get involved within the community by helping out or even trading.

An Xpd mouse model for the combined xeroderma pigmentosum/Cockayne syndrome exhibiting both cancer predisposition and segmental progeria.Andressoo, Jaan-Olle; Mitchell, James R; Wit, Jan de; Hoogstraten, Deborah; Volker, Marcel; Toussaint, Wendy; Speksnijder, Ewoud; Beems, Rudolf B; Steeg, Harry van; Jans, Judith; et al. (2006-08-01)Inborn defects in nucleotide excision DNA repair (NER) can paradoxically result in elevated cancer incidence (xeroderma pigmentosum [XP]) or segmental progeria without cancer predisposition (Cockayne syndrome [CS] and trichothiodystrophy [TTD]). We report generation of a knockin mouse model for the combined disorder XPCS with a G602D-encoding mutation in the Xpd helicase gene. XPCS mice are the most skin cancer-prone NER model to date, and we postulate an unusual NER dysfunction that is likely responsible for this susceptibility. XPCS mice also displayed symptoms of segmental progeria, including cachexia and progressive loss of germinal epithelium. Like CS fibroblasts, XPCS and TTD fibroblasts from human and mouse showed evidence of defective repair of oxidative DNA lesions that may underlie these segmental progeroid symptoms.

Farmers all over the world are suffering from a "pesticides treadmill". Pests are growing resistant to their sprays. So farmers have to spray ever more to have any effect, or buy new, more expensive chemicals. But at the same time world cotton prices have stagnated. So farmers face a serious squeeze on their profits, combined with growing threats to their health from the pesticides. Is there another way?
Maharashtra state is a centre of India's cotton growing -- much of it on small farms such as those in Wardha district. Here many insects live in the cotton fields. The most destructive, the American bollworm, is spreading and growing resistant to pyrethroids and other cheap pesticides. To save their crops, farmers are spraying typically 10-12 times in a single growing season. One farmer, Vittal Rao Karamore, says he sprayed his fields 14 times.
Partly as a result, cotton farmers have become the biggest users of pesticides in India. Cotton occupies just 5% of the country's fields, says NRI entomologist Derek Russell, but those fields use more than half of the country's pesticides.
This repeated spraying is very expensive, forcing many farmers into debt. And it is counter-productive, encouraging resistance to the chemicals among the pests. So the next year the farmer must spray even more. Spraying often pollutes drinking water and neighbouring crops, and is a health hazard for farmers and their families. It is also hard labour. To spray a hectare of cotton, the farmer carries equipment weighing about 40 kilograms for 10 kilometres up and down the rows in the hot sun. No wonder women such as Bindutai Bhoge, a widow from the village of Karanji Bhoge, employ men to do their spraying.
So heavy spraying increases the vulnerability of farming communities to debt and poor health, while reducing the money the farmers have for other vital needs, such as educating their children. Farmers like Sulochana Balpande from Karanji Kaji village, who grows cotton partly to provide money to educate her two daughters.
The tragedy is that much of this spraying is unnecessary. Researchers under Dr Keshav Kranthi of the Central Institute for Cotton Research in Nagpur, in collaboration with Derek Russell of the NRI, have spent several years investigating which pests cause real damage to the cotton plants, and when. They showed that the deadly bollworm is a migrant that only visits cotton fields briefly during most years. Constant spraying may simply kill other insects, who are harmless or even beneficial to the crop.
So Dr Kranthi drew up simple rules for spraying, based on teaching farmers to recognise the different insects on their crops. Once farmers know which pests are dangerous and when they attack, they can confine their spraying to the critical moments when it will make a real difference, says the institute's director, Dr C.D. Mayee.
Agricultural students from nearby Akola University suggested a new way of getting the message across, by staging street theatres at farmers' fairs. In one play, the cotton plant is represented as a drunk addicted to pesticides. Constant spraying is like giving alcohol to a drunk, they say. The plant will do better without.
The project has been an astonishing success, says Derek Russell. Villagers now spray only once or twice a season -- and sometimes not at all. They are healthier and wealthier. And far from losing crops, their production has risen by 75%, because they have been able to spend more time and money on seeds and fertilisers.
Today, Bindutai Bhoge walks the fields to check for pests rather than paying men to spray. And Vittal Rao Karamore, who planned to give up cotton growing, now only sprays once or twice a season and is in profit. He can spend his time weeding and watering his other crops -- and getting more rest.
"This project changed my life" -- Vittal Rao Karamore, farmer from, Nagapur, who cut his spraying by 90 per cent
The pesticides treadmill is a growing worldwide problem. The cost of chemicals weigh most heavily on poor farmers, who often know the least about how to use the chemicals in a safe and timely way. The Wardha project shows that it is possible to cut dramatically the cost of cotton production, while removing much of the drudgery and reducing health hazards. Information is the key to real gains in farmers' health, welfare, livelihoods and security.
The Indian government is now expanding the programme to help poor cotton farmers in 500 villages in the 25 heaviest insecticide-using districts across India. The research is now underpinning similar projects in China and Pakistan.
Research into reducing pesticide use in growing cotton was funded by the UK Department for International Development Crop Protection Research Programme
In the Field is a collaboration between the BBC World Service and the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich, supported by the Rural Livelihoods Department of the UK Government Department for International Development (DFID)
