What are some good things to do in Marrakesh when it is raining?
You can walk in Souk for shopping. Learn Berber home cooking. Go to Gym for yoga, boxing, berry dance, etc. Go to the cafe shop near by cafe Arab and play some local cards? Go to LOST and join the treasure hunt? Monday night, there is a quiz night at Cafe de Leible? almost 9 years ago
Best things to do and see in Morocco?...
Beach in Essouera, rent a car and driver to desert, walk in Souk and Mosk, etc etc. I will say the best thing in Morocco is ride a donkey and hiking in Atlas mountains! One more thing, if you like animal, please help SPANA (NGO animal hospital). Bring the street cats to SPANA and have spaying and castration. If you see cat's left ear is chipped, they had operation already. almost 9 years ago
What are some recommended places to visit in Morocco?
It is not dangerous place to travel in Morocco. People are very friendly and helpful. But they are helpful because they want to make some money. Just be careful some children on street who may show you the wrong way. They want to make you get lost and earn some tips after all. Remember, tips is not must in this country. And please do not give so much money to beggar and needy. Here, people give 50 cents to max 2dh. Or some left over foods from your table. People in Morocco are very talented in the language. They speak all sort of languages. Mainly speak in Arabic, French and Berber but they know useful English as well. Marrakech is must place to visit. I also like Ouarzazate (the way to desert and gouge) and Essouera (beach). Just don't get lost in Marrakech! almost 9 years ago

Jenner Headlands and Pole Mountain
Land Trust's Pole Mountain and The Wildlands Conservancy's Jenner Headlands are open to the public daily from 8am−sunset. Visitors to Sonoma County's stunning coast have the opportunity to explore at their leisure and free of charge the 15 miles of trails on the spectacular, 5,630-acre Jenner Headlands Preserve and to climb to the top of Pole Mountain, the highest peak along the Sonoma Coast. Parking and access to both preserves will be provided free of charge at TWC's beautiful new "Gateway to the Headlands" along Highway 1, two miles north of Jenner. Hikers taking up the challenge to summit Pole Mountain from the Gateway parking lot are encouraged to head out early to complete the strenuous, 15.1 mile round-trip hike on the Sea to Sky Trail by sunset.
Sea to Sky Trail is a 15.1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Jenner, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Recent visitors have seen boar prints, snakes, banana slugs, vultures, lizards, bobcat and coyote prints. One hiker saw a mountain lion in the far distance. You will see a local cows grazzin gon the grasslands. The trail has a lot of sun so bring a lot of water and sun protection.

Article: Hike than Wine with photos and description of their experience.
Jenner Headlands is a spectacular 5,630-acre mosaic of redwood and Douglas fir forests, oak woodland, chaparral, and coastal prairie overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The property adjoins Pacific Coast Highway for two and one-half miles adjacent to Sonoma Coast State Park just north of the Russian River Estuary. Many rare and endangered species inhabit the property including the northern spotted owl, peregrine falcon, and red tree vole. Deer, bobcat, coyote, mountain lion and steelhead trout are also found on the property .
pole mountain
At 2,204 feet, the summit of Pole Mountain is the highest peak along the Sonoma Coast, offering unobstructed, 360-degree views of Sonoma County, from the coast to the Cedars, and far beyond. A longtime conservation priority, Pole Mountain's 238 acres bring together the Jenner Headlands and Little Black Mountain Preserve, creating more than 6,300 acres of connected habitat.
Still wild and scenic, with the only development being an historic fire lookout tower critical to the local community.
As the highest point along the Sonoma Coast, Pole Mountain offers visitors and hikers unobstructed, 360-degree views of Sonoma County and beyond, including Sonoma Mountain and the Santa Rosa Plain, the Cedars and the Mayacamas. On a clear day, it is possible to see Mt. Diablo (79 miles away), Mt. Tamalpais (49 miles away) and the Farallon Islands (56 miles away).
Primarily a mature oak woodland habitat, the landscape also consists of open grasslands, pockets of coniferous forest and ancient madrones. It is home to the headwaters of Kidd Creek and Pole Mountain Creek, both of which feed into Austin Creek (and, ultimately, the Russian River), and also to the East Branch of Russian Gulch, which drains through the Jenner Headlands to the Pacific.
2009 Acquisition
TThe 2009 acquisition was a result of the dedicated four-year effort by the Sonoma Land Trust and the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District. Five other funding sources: the California Coastal Conservancy, the California Wildlife Conservation Board, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and Forest Legacy Program. The Wildlands Conservancy loaned and guaranteed loans totaling $10.6 million to insure this acquisition when funding was threatened. It is the single largest conservation land acquisition in Sonoma County history.
Location and info links
The parking lot will be open daily free of charge, providing access to The Wildlands Conservancy's magnificent Jenner Headlands Preserve and beyond. The parking lot north of the town of Jenner on Highway 1 has parking for 32 cars and two school buses. The Gateway will also provide handicapped accessible trails to a restroom and overlook area with spectacular views of the Russian River and Goat Rock. From the overlook, a trailhead will lead into the rolling coastal hills and redwood forests.

I've reviewed a dozen or more Christmas Movies this season. There have been good movies and bad, but mostly bad. White Christmas was pleasantly dated, but watchable.

DALLAS - Soccer fan Randall Williams stated that he was most concerned with his prized collection of StubHub soccer ticket receipts as he finally works on the migration of his email off Hotmail to Gmail, on Thursday.
"Look, this is my ticket for USA v Trinidad," stated Williams to The Nutmeg News after fumbling around for 5 minutes trying to get the search function to work. "Here's my ticket for MLS Cup 2018 and 2016 and 2015. I tried to figure out how to get Michael Bradley to sign my electronic ticket receipt, but I couldn't seem to get Adobe Acrobat to work fast enough to allow Michael to create an electronic signature so that I could paste it into the ticket."
Williams collection of tickets spans to a pre-electronic age when he created shadowboxes to mount his ticket stubs from his tour across America of professional baseball stadiums.
"With soccer it's mostly done online, these days," stated Williams. "I just gotta keep the memories alive with my StubHub receipts. Hopefully I can figure out a digital way to mount these so I can see them and not keep finding them in my search when I'm trying to find a new ticket for a new game."
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Williams inadvertently designates all StubHub related email as spam that should be deleted.

We had such a good time last week in Navarre Beach, Florida that we did NOT want to come home. We loved our condo, but the beach was the best!
Luke liked playing in the sand, collecting shells and hunting crabs at night. But his favorite things about the whole trip were the swimming pool and the Playstation 2 in his bedroom. Eric says we could have saved a lot of money and stayed at the Holiday Inn on JFK!
We met up with our friends Billy and Julie and their kiddos in Pensacola Beach for dinner one night. It was an adventure trying to crack open crab legs and whole lobsters. Next time, we are sticking with the shrimp. YUM!
We feel very blessed to have gotten a chance to get out of Arkansas for awhile to rest and relax. It was good to just be together-Mama, Daddy and Luke.

Overstock SuccessStory
Very few internet companies were born from the ashes of the dot-com die down and disaster. Overstock is a successful E commerce company based out of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, proved that innovative ideas were still possible despite what had surpassed. The company started out as D2-Discount Direct and sold excess inventory from different sources at a discounted price. The operations were being so badly managed that when the now CEO Patrick Byrne first stumbled himself in the role, he was dismayed.
D2 had been founded in 1997 and had earned about $500,000 in revenue by selling excess inventory online first few years. The performance wasn't impressive but there was something hidden in the general concept. Byrne was instantly enamoured. D2 was struggling financially and by this point Byrne had enough money to buy 60% share for about $36.7 million and immediately went to work. It didn't take Byrne long to become frustrated the way the company was being run. He had learned business from his father and had grown up receiving nuggets of advice from the legendary Warren Buffet.
Knowing that he had to step in, Byrne took over as CEO and renamed the company as Overstock.com. Within the first few months, he had turned the revenue from about $700,000 to $1 million.
Overstock started by conducting its sales in two different ways, the Direct resale was where the company acquired excessive inventory and sold in on an e-commerce platform and the Indirect resale where the company sold excessive inventory stock from on behalf of other retailers.
In a brilliant move, Byrne took the inventories of failing and struggling dot-com companies at greatly discounted prices and sold it for a profit to its customers at wholesale rates. In May 2002, the company went public and the IPO went for at $13 per share, earning Overstock about $39 million but around this time it also saw a loss of about $40 million. However, the company was heading towards record profits. After the IPO, Overstock started to earn a name for itself as a trusted e-retailer. Its direct reselling business was booming but with better reputation, companies like HP, Kenneth Cole, Samsonite, etc., started to utilize its services for commission-based indirect reselling, which Overstock had started to call Fulfilment Partner Revenue. This led to an upsurge in Overstock's profits.
Byrne focused more on expanding than making profits and due to this, the company didn't consistently record profits in those years. For a while, Byrne was content to advertise via word of mouth of satisfied customers, rather than invest in professional advertising. He changed his mind about that later on, launching several marketing campaigns. The increased public awareness led to an upsurge in revenue and profits and by 2010, the company had earned its 1st billion dollars. Despite several lawsuits and accusations of misleading investors with promises of profits, Overstock is a successful company and was ranked #2 in US for Customer service by the National Retail Federation and Forbes listed it as one of the ten best places to work in America.

DP Engineering have seen huge growth and investment over the last few years. The heartbeat of the business has been PSL Datatrack production control software.
DP Engineering have seen huge growth and investment over the last few years. The heartbeat of the business has been PSL Datatrack production control software.
PSL Datatrack is key to running Bernard Holmes Precision Limited and allows the company to be as efficient as possible.
Administration throughout the entire production process needs to be as efficient as possible and Davturn has addressed this requirement through investment in PSL Datatrack production control software.
The real time Status Board display system for the shop floor is the latest acquisition by Sheldon Precision Engineering for its PSL Datatrack production control software system.
PSL Datatrack's Scheduler module allows users to plan and maximise the production flow throughout an entire factory, by ensuring that jobs on the shop floor are correctly materials available.
Brown and Holmes's success over recent years has been reflected in its growth which has seen a doubling of production output, an increase in turnover of some 50% and the ongoing development of a global business.
From an initial discussion at MACH 2016 to a full onsite demo, Jota Advanced Engineering Limited of Kent has utilised a number of production control software modules from PSL Datatrack.
Empire Manufacturing have now been using the PSL Datatrack production control software system across two generations of the family business.
Hydrafeed Limited of Milton Keynes took the important step of upgrading their processes by using the PSL Datatrack production control system.
In 2017 Rodmatic Limited, the Reading based precision machining subcontract company, decided to invest in a new production control system that would give them much more effective management of their business.
2018 brings to a close a very positive 30th year in business for PSL Datatrack. We have seen new customers investing in production control software to streamline their entire production process and existing customers reviewing their procedures and processes as part of their drive for constant business improvement.
As Sub-CNC Precision Ltd grew they needed a more efficient system so PSL Datatrack production control software was identified as the the way to go.
Seychell Engineering has added the Status Board display system to the PSL Datatrack production control software modules used to run the company's business.
Tefloturn have recently relocated from Flitcham to larger premises in King's Lynn, which has enabled them to take on more staff and more work. The company's continued investment in machinery has been alongside investment in PSL Datatrack production control software which has given far reaching benefits.
Brown & Holmes deliver quality workholding, precision machining and subcontract machining solutions and act as agents for other equipment. They run their business using PSL Datatrack production control software.
When considering investment in production control software the whole manufacturing process and the staff involved must be considered, as PSL Datatrack's MD Geoff Gartland explains in their guide to production control software specification and implementation.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes enforceable on 25 May 2018. If you would like to continue to receive e-news from PSL Datatrack after this date we would ask you to please OPT IN.
PSL Datatrack production control software has been further enhanced with the new 2018 Status Board display system which can give visibility to real-time KPIs, system alerts and action lists giving even more control over manufacturing processes.
Geoff Gartland, Managing Director of PSL Datatrack, discusses our Production Control Software on Swarf and Chips with Lyndsey, Colin and Gio from MTD.
PSL Datatrack is celebrating 30 years at the forefront of production control software development for precision engineering subcontractors.
In early 2017, Newtech High Speed Turning Ltd (Newtech) decided to move to better premises at their base in Kirkby, Liverpool. It seemed the right time for the company owners to finally invest in PSL Datatrack production control software.
After seeing the software in action, and with the knowledge that PSL Datatrack was a reputable and well-established company, Stuart Dunklin, Managing Director at Cutting Edge Precision Ltd, decided to make the investment decision.
DP Engineering, now a very long standing PSL Datatrack user, began to expand its engineering business significantly back in 2003. They soon realised that their existing procedures would not be capable of supporting the planned expansion.
The 2017 version of PSL Datatrack's production control software has just been released. The emphasis of this version is very much on improved reporting and traceability throughout to provide valuable information to all areas of the business.
Northamptonshire based precision engineering subcontractor G23 Engineering Limited believes that their investment in PSL Datatrack production control software has more than justified itself, helping to achieve ISO:9001 accreditation.
PSL Datatrack, long standing member of the BTMA, recognises the important role the organisation plays in the sourcing of high quality precision turned parts and machined components. A number of members including Wealdpark Ltd and Qualiturn Products Ltd, whose directors are currently President and Vice President of the association, rely on PSL Datatrack production control software to help run their businesses.
Sub-CNC Precision, a privately owned subcontractor specialising in the machining of high quality turned and milled components has invested in PSL Datatrack production control software to provide greater control over the business, improve efficiency and save time whilst maintaining a highly reliable service to all customers.
Over the last three years, RDL Technologies has achieved ISO Quality Management accreditation, continued to invest in new machine tool technology and successfully integrated another company into its business model. Production Control Manager Lewis Lockwood has stressed the key role played by PSL Datatrack.
Jota Advanced Engineering Ltd has invested in a PSL Datatrack production control system to manage their sub-contract engineering business. Having already invested in a skilled workforce to support the requirements of Jota Sport motor racing, the company recognised the need to invest in dedicated production control software, with PSL Datatrack ticking all the boxes.
APT Leicester, one of the UK's leading sub-contract precision engineering companies, has a very successful strategy of continuous investment in its production capabilities. Alongside these investments, APT recognised the need to improve its production control. PSL Datatrack provided an easy to use solution providing significant time-savings backed up by first rate support.
'We put our faith in the professionalism of PSL and it is really paying off. Now we have the PSL Datatrack production control system, I can focus my time on the important management of our processes, the benefits are immeasurable' - Martin Presley

5 Tips For Safe and Enjoyable Vaping
Alot has been said about the dangers of E-cigs and Vaping Mods, including the biggest danger which is an explosion of the device midst use. On the other hand, it turns out that you can completely avoid any danger, as long as you follow these simple tips:
Be Familiar With the Brand You're Using
In any product that you buy, a known brand is a synonym for a higher quality product. The devices that were documented as exploding are products that not much is known about their manufacturers. At times, they were cheap imitations, and sometimes they were just low quality products. So, of course, buying an imitation may be the cheaper option. But, in the long run, a purchase of an Original product with a warranty will give you peace of mind.
Remember – a cheap product, may have a high price in the end.
Read The Instructions
It's a bit ironic that you are reading these lines, instead of reading the instruction manual of your device, but seriously – reading the instructions is very important. Not all vaping devices are the same, each device has it's own ways of operating and optimal use, and it is recommended that you know them.
Don't Let The Atomizer Overheat
The atomizer in your device is the part that is in charge of turning the E-liquid into vapor. It is the most important part and has the most danger potential. When you vape, it is very important not to hold down the power button for too long while inhaling. If you do it, you will cause overheating. It is recommended to not hold the power button for longer than 5 seconds.
Also, try avoiding chain-vaping, as it may harm the entire cartridge. Give your device the time it needs to cool down.
Batteries, Batteries, Batteries
It is no surprise that one of the main elements that can cause a vaping device to explode is it's battery. We've already witnessed it happening in cellular phones and laptop computers. Lithium batteries such as these can explode because of a variety of reasons – overcharging, short circuit, or overheating. Always check that your battery is in orderly and good condition, and even change it if necessary. Avoid trying to buy a cheap imitation – it will end badly.
Don't Mix Different Electronic Devices
All it takes is one tiny spark to cause a short-circuit in your devices, that will lead to it exploding. So, it is very recommended to avoid charging your device with a charger that is not the charger that it was intended to be charged with (like your phone charger, for instance). Use only original parts and accessories.

Her Shadow
Some nights I ask myself what
is the worst thing about losing
the love of a devoted woman
Sitting alone in the darkness
I find I miss her guiding light
as I long to see her shadow

A good city is like a good party – people stay longer than really necessary, because they are enjoying themselves.
-Jan Gehl, Danish architect
The United States excels in many regards: effusive greetings, aerospace research, craft beer, national parks, reality television. But car-free living? Not so much.
Across the world, right this very second, cities are removing cars from their downtowns. Great news, right? Of course, except for the part about no U.S. cities being in this forward-thinking group. Yes, there are U.S. cities toying with the idea of creating more pedestrian-friendly zones, including DC, Portland, and New York City, and there are a few successful pedestrian malls scattered across the land of the free and home of the brave. Unfortunately, though, no U.S. city has a straight up Ljubljana-style car-free downtown, and a few cities are actually reintroducing cars back into car-free zones. Come on, US of A, let's put down our chili dogs and get on this!
After visiting so many incredible countries and cities this past year, I've come to appreciate the car-free downtowns of Europe. As cars continue to take over urban spaces across the globe, even Europe, it's refreshing to have a safe, clean, and vibrant place to escape to. With the exception of a few years in college, I've never owned a car and am accustomed to the perks of the car-free lifestyle, such as getting more exercise, connecting with my surroundings, and having more money to spend on craft beer. So why isn't the U.S. replicating these lively public spaces?
The United States of America, as we know it today, was founded in 1776*. That's 131 years before Ford invented the world's first automobile, 150 years before cars became integral to society, and 180 years before the National Highway Act sucked the life from cities and spit it out in the suburbs. In other words, cities weren't designed for cars, making them the invasive species of urban spaces. Looking at historic photos of cities, downtowns weren't made of up of narrow alleyways and small clusters of buildings like Europe's old towns but wide, linear promenades to best accommodate pedestrians and modern vehicles such as bicycles, horse-drawn wagons, and electric trolley cars. This wasn't fast-moving traffic like we have today but slow enough to make looking both ways before crossing unnecessary, and invite children out to play. Urban spaces at this time could also be dingy places thanks to muddy streets, nearby factories, coal-burning stoves, poor sanitation, crushing poverty, and shoddy construction, so while I'd never suggest cities were once perfect, car-free utopias, I will say that it's a brilliant idea for modern society to harness the intoxicating power of urban spaces in the form of car-free areas, especially now that we've overcome so many city problems, AND invented patio furniture.
Beyond the simple reason of giving the streets back to people so they can better enjoy their urban space, there are lots of excellent reasons for cities to rope off a section from cars, especially if done correctly. A few, which I'll further explore in future posts, include increased foot traffic for businesses, a welcoming and safe environment for people, and a decreased burden on local government. "But what about deliveries?" shout concerned shop owners, and my non-expert response is that cities have found ways to address this issue, from designating delivery times to dispatching tiny trucks, and it's entirely possible to deliver goods to hundreds of shops, restaurants, and offices in dense, car-free spaces. "But traffic on side streets would increase dramatically!" is another concern, and I'd point to Nuremburg's street diet. Yes, the switch will take effort and face initial push-back; no, the switch is not impossible or a blow to downtowns. I have faith that a U.S. city will soon go car-free and cities will follow suit like dominoes.
But back to my question, why isn't the U.S. replicating these lively public spaces? I believe it's due to a lack of education and the comfortable inertia that comes with groupthink urban planning. I question the effectiveness of popular events like "open streets" where a street section is opened to people for a few hours once a day, month, or year; I think they are a good start to addressing the need for people-friendly spaces and they give people a delicious taste of what car-free living is truly like, while also serving as a poor placeholder for a solution as they are highly-orchestrated, singular events that perpetuate the thinking that cars are a necessary part of our cities.
So, as we all wait for the USA's first car-free downtown with anticipation like that sweet transvestite From Transexual, Transylvania, here are five U.S. cities with high foot traffic and a budding interest in going going car-free, making them prime candidates for diving in all the way. And while these cities are jewels in their own right, having a people-friendly downtown would seriously boost their street cred.
New Orleans, Louisiana
City profile: Antebellum city of 344,000, founded in 1718 and more resilient than the coils in a bad mattress. Notable for Mardi Gras, Creole cottages, cultural diversity, Hurricane Katrina, the nation's largest former slave market, shrimp, and beignets dusted with powdered sugar.
Why it should go car-free: I'm looking at you, French Quarter. From 1971 to this past summer, a section of popular Royal Street was a "car-free lite" space, closing a few hours a day for pedestrian-only traffic, and NOLA's mayor recently proposed closing it entirely to vehicular traffic as a safeguard against terrorist attacks (hmm). And following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, cycling has exploded in popularity, with the downside being a spike in cyclist deaths at the hands of car drivers. These reasons alone are sufficient grounds to create safer spaces for people, be it car-free spaces or protected bike lanes. Hopefully, one day New Orleans will refer to its European roots, namely Ljubljana, for inspiration on becoming a more people-friendly place, although a fierce backlash earlier this year by business owners who want to keep the streets open to cars suggests otherwise.
Alexandria, Virginia
City profile: "City with a small town vibe" of 140,000, founded in 1749 and awash with history. Notable for colonial architecture, the Civil War, Potomac riverside, being DC's neighbor, Mount Vernon, the Torpedo Factory Art Gallery, and canine cruises.
Why it should go car-free: Thanks to its close proximity to the nation's capital, Alexandria enjoys a variety of car-free transit options. Many of the city's residents work in DC and commute there by Metro, bike, bus, or slug (aka carpool), allowing them to fully embrace a car-free life, and the free trolley bus running down King Street to the waterfront is especially popular with tourists arriving at the Amtrak station. Alexandria participated in a car-free pledge day (how... radical?) this past September, and I was surprised to see that they don't have a car-free downtown event. In 2008, the city approved a charter with the goal of "meeting our community's present needs while preserving our historic character and ensuring the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," making it only fitting that they designate a car-free downtown so pedestrians and cyclists can better enjoy Old Town for years to come.
Charleston, South Carolina
City profile: Small seaport city of 135,000, founded in 1670 and dripping in old-school Southern charm. Notable for cotton exports, former slave trading, the College of Charleston, architectural variety, historic preservation, its peninsular shape, and shrimp and grits.
Why it should go car-free: The last time I visited Charleston was fifteen years ago, and the city's narrow streets lined with palm trees and pastel-hued buildings made quite the impression on me, just as much as its sidewalks packed with people and streets jammed with cars did. Charleston hit a low spot in the mid-1900s when many city residents moved to the suburbs, a sad truth for most U.S. cities, but recovered in the 1980s and continues to grow in popularity each year. This picturesque city seems receptive to designating a car-free zone, as evidenced by the Pearl Street pedestrian mall and the monthly King Street Second Sunday, an event that closes a portion of the street to vehicular traffic for a few hours since 2011. And the best part about Charleston's downtown? US News & World Report named King Street one of the 10 Best Shopping Streets in the United States, meaning increased foot/bicycle traffic could translate into even greater sales.
Asheville, North Carolina
City profile: Outdoorsy city of 90,000 nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, founded in 1784 and sweeter than pecan pie. Notable for hippies, the Biltmore Estate, industrial plants, former railways, autumn leaves, Thomas Wolfe's novel Look Homeward, Angel, and being too liberal for its own good.
Why it should go car-free: The City of Asheville's website announced this summer that they are "working toward a proactive plan in the face of climate change" so I see no better way to kick things off than to create the country's first car-free, pedestrian-friendly downtown. This southern town with blue-collar roots and 14-karat aspirations has a remarkably intact historic downtown, packed with charming vernacular red-brick buildings, elegant squares, and the world's most gorgeous cafeteria, meaning re-opening the streets to pedestrians would allow people to better celebrate the city. Asheville opened portions of downtown's Patton Avenue this year in their second "Open Streets Asheville" event, and it was quite the hit. We're waiting, Asheville....
Memphis, Tennessee
City profile: Sprawling city of 653,000 on the Arkansas border, founded in 1819 and more laid back than the slow-moving Mississippi River running through it. Notable for Elvis' Graceland, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Lorraine Motel, blues music, a spandrel glass pyramid, Sun Records, BBQ, and the world's cutest ducks (and trolleys).
Why it should go car-free: Two words: Beale Street. Nine more: three blocks of nightclubs, specialty shops, galleries and restaurants. This popular area, really the heart of Memphis, already closes to cars at night so people can better enjoy the city's vibrant nightlight, and the mayor "challenged Memphonians" in 2014 to give up their cars for a month while at the same time opening protected bike lanes along the river downtown, all promising signs for a car-free future. I was fortunate to spend the summer of 2007 in the birthplace of rock and roll, although I can't say it was the best place to be without a car; it's heartening to see a flurry of interest (here here here) in car-free living in Memphis. River City, we're waiting with bated breath for you to take the mantle of the first car-free downtown in the U.S.
*Of course, the United States of America was well-settled by natives before these years, so I use these dates in reference to when the current-day places were founded.
What other U.S. cities are great candidates for going car-free, and why? Please share your ideas in the comments section!

"Getting to bed about 11 I looked at the cloudless sky, or my little patch from my window and thought how clear a night for an airplane raid, and went to bed. I had just gotten to settled for sleep when I heard a siren in the distance and wondered if this was the alarm, for we were told they went through the streets with sirens blowing if the Boche machines were coming. I did not have long to wonder, for soon the bells on my floor began to ring and someone came swiftly but with all composure to each floor saying the airplanes were coming, but you didn't have to get up unless you wish. I was nearly dressed by that time and went out to see what the rest were doing. All the lights were turned out over the house and candles set in shielded spots in the halls…"

"[This phrase] assumes a future whose moral and social pressures are identical with those of the past…The Great War took place in what was, compared with ours, a static world, where the values appeared stable and where meanings of abstraction seemed permanent and reliable. Everyone knew what Glory was and what Honor meant. It was not until eleven years after the war that Hemingway could declare in A Farewell to Arms that 'abstract words such as glory, history, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene besides the concrete names of villages, the number of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates." 1

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

"Shelter pits, which one man could dig at the rate of one cubic foot of earth removed in three minutes, or enough to give him cover in a half hour, became trenches when joined up. More often, the first shelter was an existing ditch of field drain; when deepened, or as rain fell, these ready made refuges filled with water and proved habitable only at the expense of great labor or not habitable at all." 1

"This afternoon I went to the big American ambulance hospital at Neuilly. It's the most wonderful and awful place I have yet seen. It is more they were doing such marvelous work rebuilding phrases that had been partially blown away. The head nurse took us unto a big laboratory and they brought out photographs of cases. They showed the men as they were when admitted with the most ghastly wounds: noses blown off, jaws gone, foreheads shattered. How the men live is a miracle to me. Then the pictures of the various stages of the cure up to the final photograph taken at the time of discharge."

Thousands of people have marched through the capital of Central African Republic to demand the resignation of its interim President Catherine Samba-Panza.
It follows a resurgence of violence in the largely Christian city of Bangui after Muslim gunmen attacked a church on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people.
"As a first solution we'd like the immediate departure of Burundi forces. Secondly, we'd like the liberation of KM5 so that our mothers, sons and fathers can go about their business normally," said one demonstrator.
The Burundi contingent of the African peacekeeping force has come under fire after two people were shot dead during violent protests.
The Burundi peacekeepers have also been accused of siding with Muslims.
The country has been gripped by ethnic and religious violence for more than a year since Seleka rebels, who are mostly Muslim, seized Bangui in March 2013.
The Seleka left power in January under international pressure and since then the anti-balaka militias have attacked on Muslims.
Those attacks have largely driven Muslims from the capital and areas to the west, effectively partitioning Central African Republic, whose northeast is controlled mainly by Seleka.

November 21 - 1995 - The Dayton Agreement
The General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, better known as the Dayton Agreement for its signing in Dayton, Ohio, effectively ended the Bosnian War. The Bosnian War was a smaller part of the much larger Yugoslav Wars, which sprung from the dissolution of the former Communist state of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia was a collection of six separate republics, divided along religious and ethnic lines. When Communism fell apart in the late 1980s, the separate republics wished to be more separate. Croatia went first, beginning a War of Independence in 1992 against Yugoslavia. Bosnia quickly followed suit, and "Yugoslavia" was really just Serbia. Yet all were at war, and Serbian populations in Croatia and Bosnia wished to have their own Republics. In Bosnia, the fighting was much worse. The Army of Republika Srpska, led by Ratko Mladic under the political leadership of Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic, carried out genocidal acts at Srebrenica in June of 1995 with the tacit consent of Yugoslavian President Slabodan Milosevic. At that moment, things looked hopeless. Then, in August, the Croatian Army undertook Operation Storm, pushing back Serbian troops from Croatian lines and threatening Serbians in Bosnia. With that, Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia agreed to a framework for governing Bosnia and Herzegovina as a single nation divided along regional, ethnic lines, ending the Bosnian War.

India is known for its art and culture. Every corner of India is popular for its unusual form of art. Tanjore Painting is one of the most prominent types of traditional South Indian paintings. It is the indigenous art form of Thanjavur (also known as Tanjore) city of Tamil Nadu. The intense composition, exterior richness and vivacious shades of Indian Thanjavur Paintings differentiate them from the other kinds of paintings. Then, there are accompaniments of precious stones, pearls and glass pieces that supplement and add to their charm. The relief work gives them a three dimensional appearance which is more popularly known as the 3D effect. Tanjore Painting of India was derived in the 16th century, in the sovereignty of the Cholas.
A majority of these paintings rotate around the subject of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, along with saints. The chief figure is always painted at the center of the painting. These paintings are also locally called Palagai Padam where palagai means wooden plank and padam means picture as they paintings are mostly done on solid wood boards.
Tanjore paintings involve a couple of intricate steps. The first step includes the sketching of the introduction sketch of the image on the base. This base is prepared from a cloth, which is glued over a wooden stand. The next step involves the mixing of chalk powder or zinc oxide with water-soluble adhesive and applying it on the base. Thereafter, the drawing is made and ornamented with cut glass, pearls as well as semi-precious stones. Besides, colorful and attractive laces or threads are also used to embellish the painting. To further enhance the outcome, wafer thin sheets of gold are glued on a few portions of the painting, whereas the other portions are painted in vivid colors.
There are a huge number of people who still take interest in learning this form of art adding their contemporary touch to it.

Hip Hip Hurrah ! It's Grandparents' Day!
– Ms. Alareen Fernandes
Grandparents are a delightful blend of laughter, caring deeds, wonderful stories and love. Grandparents are special to every child. Their knowledge is invaluable and their love unconditional. To make them feel special and loved, Don Bosco High School, Matunga hosted Grandparent's Day on 22nd July, 2017 for the grandparents of the students of Std. I – IV in the Bianchi Hall, Don Bosco, Matunga. The school's initiative to celebrate Grandparents' Day is to bring about a positive mindset in the present generation and to give a chance for the children to interact with an age group that is most often overlooked.
Around 400 grandparents attended the special celebration that was indeed held just for them. The Head Teacher of the Primary section, Mrs. Griselda Fernandes said, "At Don Bosco Matunga, we are constantly striving to bring more and more people into our fold, to be a part of our extended family. Grandparents' Day is one such step in this direction."
The venue was spruced up for the special day. The beautiful decoration on the stairways, entrance, stage, backdrop, and invites manifested the hard work and efforts of the Head Teacher, teachers, and parents who worked tirelessly to portray the love and affection of the grandchildren for their grandparents.
The programme began with a welcome song by the boys of Std. III & IV followed by the lighting of the lamp by the Principal, Fr. Bernard Fernandes; Head Teacher, Mrs. Griselda Fernandes and some grandparents. Our School Captain, Master Rudra Shetye, welcomed all the grandparents through his reflective speech. The grandparents were thoroughly entertained by the amazing performance by our tiny tots of Std. I who presented an action song, and Std. II who performed a graceful dance on the stage. Various interesting spot prizes were organized for the grandparents.
Some grandparents shared their views and expressed their gratitude towards the school on this occasion. Mrs. Sequeira, said, "Grandparents are an important part of each person's life, and, I am very happy to be here on this occasion." "I truly appreciate the school for giving us this opportunity to come and enjoy this day. Thank you very much for remembering us," said Mrs. Ravin.
The Principal, Fr. Bernard Fernandes, thanked the grandparents for their valuable time on this occasion and commended the teachers for their efforts to make this day a big success. Our Vice-Captain, Master Keegan Peres, then extended a vote of thanks followed by a thank you song by the students of Std. III & IV.
The grandparents were very happy to witness this event. They penned their thoughts and views about the programme, and these were displayed on the board. The grandparents were then escorted for some light refreshments at the end of the programme. They returned home with a smile on their face and joy in their hearts for something wonderful that they experienced during the day.

The good news is that everybody who turns a certain age (usually around 40) feels the same. The difference is that people deal with this issue differently. The most important thing is to stay physically active, do the right type of exercise and maintain an appropriate intensity for your fitness level and body's ability as you can very easily injure yourself without even realising that you've done some damage..
Your key objective should be to feel good, prevent injuries and unwanted diseases such as osteoporosis and heart disease. In Australia, osteoporosis affects all women and one third of men over 60 years of age. It's very important to have a diet rich in calcium and do regular exercise. Turning 40 doesn't mean that you can't do some of your favourite sports due to fear of possible movement limitations or lack of strength.
On the other hand, it's important to build your muscles (deep and surface muscles) and strength to improve your coordination and balance -- both required when you're progressing into the next stage of life.
If you already have osteoporosis, you can certainly benefit from regular exercise. However, it's important to take on an appropriate workload based on which part of your body is affected.
Some other benefits of regular exercise include the following:
• Conservation of remaining bone tissue
• Improved physical fitness and mobility
• Improved reaction time
• Reduced pain
• Better mood and vitality.
So, what do you think? Do you have any other tips on how we could take care of our body when our muscle and joints starts to ache?

Council Prez race: the good, the bad and the undecided
The Spokane City Council President race would appear to be a toss up, particularly in many North Spokane precincts where a clear favorite has yet to emerge.
No duh, you might say, considering that winner Dennis Hession got only slightly more than a third of the vote in a four-person field.
But Spin Control does not make such prognostications lightly. Instead, we employ the very best of computer science and data analysis to confirm what you may already suspect: That Spokane voters seem less sure of their selection for the person to run council meetings for the next four years than the person to run the city.
Hey, some days, running the council is a real chore, but the city pretty much runs itself....
Incumbent Mary Verner did better than the rest of the field in the top race, almost everywhere in the city. The top two finishers for council president, Hession and Ben Stuckart, each had bases of strong support in South Spokane, where they won clear majorities in some precincts.
But north of Interstate 90, neither they nor third-place finisher Steve Corker claimed majorities in more than a handful of precincts.
Beyond that, there was a significant drop off in voting between the mayor's race and the council president race. Almost four times as many voters left the president's race blank compared to the mayor's race.
Maybe they didn't like any of their choices. Maybe they didn't know any of their choices. Maybe they didn't know or care about the job. After all, everyone can hazard a guess at what the mayor should do. Not necessarily so with the council president job.
But the "I don't know/care" numbers – technically known as undervotes – reached 10 percent of the voters in some precincts.
The bottom line is that November's general election could go to the council president candidate who works hardest in north Spokane between Francis Avenue and the river, and who gives the marginally motivated voters a reason to fill in the circle next to his name. The reward: The right to tell folks at the microphone during council meetings that their time is up, stop talking and sit down.
Properly exercised, it's kind of like a superpower.

Mountain West Bank – Meridian Financial Center
Set on the corner of Idaho's busiest intersection, Mountain West Bank's two-story, 11,500-sq. ft. financial center needed to be impactful. Designers were challenged to create a uniquely Mountain West aesthetic for use at future locations – one modern and timeless, inspiring a memorable experience for clients and staff, without ostentation. The incorporation of large windows added daylighting, created literal transparency, and shifted focus from the facility to the "life" of the business conducted inside – viewable to passersby from a great distance. The project adhered to strict budgets and timelines, and was lauded by Mountain West Bank leadership.
"We would like to thank CTA for a job well done on this community centerpiece. Their level of service and attention to detail was much appreciated and a key component to the success of this project. We look forward to continuing to work with CTA in the future and have the utmost confidence in recommending them to others."

National Hamburger Day – Best Burgers in Disney
Wherever I go on vacation, I always look forward to burger night. Depending on restaurants for every meal when you're trying to stick to a somewhat normal diet gets boring quick and by day 3 of my trip, the most exciting my dinner order gets is choosing between chicken or shrimp to add to a salad…and that's when burger night swoops in to save the day! 'Burger night' is something you're familiar with whether you know it or not; it's the night when no one can agree on what to get for dinner and as the debate continues and hunger pangs get more intense, a hero in the party says 'let's get burgers!'.
If you're on vacation this week, we suggest you make May 28th your family's' burger night because…is National Burger Day! Now that you've chosen your cuisine, you have to pick the spot that's going to cook it up for you! We've done some tedious research over the past few months in prep for this day, and these are the best burgers we've had the pleasure of eating at Walt Disney World Resort!
Quick Serve Burgers
D-Luxe Burger (Disney Springs)- This quick-serve hot spot has quickly become a hugely popular spot for a great, table-service quality burger without the wait…or the tipping! The burgers come with an unlimited amount of any and all of their special sauces and are cooked to medium unless otherwise specified. The hand-cut fries pair perfectly with the sauces too…who says they're only for the burgers?
Disney's Boardwalk Burger Cart- There is a very well-kept secret over at the Boardwalk that only seasoned guests of the resort have discovered. Located across from Trattoria Al Forno sits a burger cart frying up burgers well into the night on a flat top griddle. Once, my entire family got a burger and order of fries and ate them on the Boardwalk's porch, overlooking the lake. I'm not sure which stuck with me longer, the memory of the amazing sunset or the memories of that last bite of juicy burger!
Table-Service Burgers
The Boathouse (Disney Springs)- The Boathouse is good for dockside drinks and super fresh seafood, and the freshest catch is what I always go for when I dine here. Although on a recent trip, a member of my party with a particular distaste (read: hatred) for seafood ordered a burger and requested that I please "order something NOT smelling like fish" so she could "dine in peace". I obliged and ordered a burger…and I am now officially thanking her. The burger was cooked just as I'd ordered it and the toppings were fresh and the perfect compliment.
Jock Lindsey's (Disney Springs)- If you find yourself having missed out on ordering a burger on National Burger Day, you can still celebrate the national day by pairing the Snakebite Sliders from Jock Lindsey's with one of their specialty cocktails! Everyone raves about the tomato-bacon jam that's slathered on the trio of mini burgers, but in my opinion, it's the house-made pickles that really deserve the praise!
Kona Café (Polynesian Village Resort)- A burger is one of the last things I would think to order at Kona (I always go for the sushi), so when a member of my family ordered the Island Burger from the menu, I was stealthy enough to successfully sneak a bite when he took a bathroom break- for research purposes, of course. As you can tell, one bite is all it took to earn this list! Havarti is the BEST cheese to use on a burger, and its soft texture and buttery flavor are only augmented by a runny poached egg. The unexpected but delicious pile of melt-in-your-mouth pork tied the whole thing together!
Raglan Road (Disney Springs)- Rounding out the list of must-try burgers is the Boaring Burger at Raglan Road. It gets its name from the wild boar meat used to make the patty, and if you've never had one, you're going to be shocked at how much more tender and juicy the meat is than beef…I'd even venture to say more flavorful, too! The arugula balances each bite of the sandwich by providing a peppery crispness to the rich burger, and, when I go back for my next burger, I'm definitely going to order an extra side of the pear chutney to slather on my bun!

Yorkshire spinner in squad for Australia showdown
Yorkshire's Adil Rashid will be swapping the white rose of Yorkshire for the three lions of England this month after receiving his first Ashes call up ahead of the opening test.
The 27-year-old will walk out at the SSE SWALEC stadium in Cardiff on Wednesday 8th July, as he joins the national side in what will be his first Ashes experience.
The leg-spinner has never competed in the historic contest before and says he first learnt of his call up as he left the field following Yorkshire's emphatic victory over Durham.
"I found out as soon as I got off the field," he said. "Dizzy (Jason Gillespie) was the first one who told me.
"He said 'well done on your selection'. I checked my phone and had a message from Mr Whitaker. I'm delighted, over the moon, and am looking forward to going there and seeing what happens.
"It is definitely a career highlight. It's always a dream to play Test cricket for any youngster, especially to be part of an Ashes squad. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully I can do well."
Rashid, who was part of Yorkshire's innings victory, missed out on a pre-Ashes camp to Spain, but he believes helping Yorkshire progress to the top of the LV= County Championship table was more important.
"I was just told by Paul Farbrace to come here to Durham and get some overs under my belt and if selected for the squad, I'd be ready," he added.
"It was good to get some overs under my belt, get into rhythm and bowl my tricks. I've never met Trevor Bayliss (England head coach), and I'm looking forward to meeting him and seeing how we get on."
Rashid is a firm believer that he has matured both on and off the field over the past couple of years and is ready for the Test arena.
"I think now I'm a lot more relaxed, looking to spin the ball both ways and have fun," added Rashid.
"I'm not really worried about going for runs. I look to attack and create chances and wickets. That's all I've been thinking over the last two years."
Rashid was previously selected for the national side during their tour of West Indies over the winter yet didn't feature in any of the three Tests. More recently, he appeared in England's 3-2 one-day series win over New Zealand this summer.
Trevor Bayliss said he called up the Bradford-born bowler for an alternative option on dry wickets.
"There has been some good weather around and it looks like being a dry summer," he said.
"If we have Rashid there we have the option to play him."
Rashid and the rest of the England party met up last weekend.

VajApple Red Tote Bag (Recycled)
Our apple design is inspired by feminists and feminism, showing solidarity with our sisters and like-minded people!
This print reflects our quest for knowledge and an awareness of one's self. Too often women's bodies are censored in a false attempt at politeness or misguided shame. If it's only male cherubs allowed to pee in the birdbaths of the world we have a problem, let's represent! Half the world's population has one, don't be shy!
Original illustration for Conquer Gear ® by Tomoya Hiramatsu.
Literally, 100% recycled from old trash,
60% Recycled pre-consumer cotton organically grown
40% Recycled post-consumer waste polyester Jersey
Woven Twill: 6.34 oz / 215 g
Have you ever considered the impact of a few plastic bags a week, multiplied by a lifetime and then taken everyone else into account who does the same? It adds up to a huge impact, not only on plastic waste, but in manufacturing, energy, and resources.
What a difference a long lasting bag can make. Are you way more likely to use it if it's got a funky graphic illustration print? Make shopping more fun, and less of an advertisement for whichever shop you're using!
Salvaged from waste cuttings of organic cotton garment production, this waste cotton is re-blended with post-consumer plastic bottles to create a hard wearing and 100% recycled product.
Much of the pollution that would have been created from growing, milling, transporting and processing new cotton is eliminated when recycling.
Also, the use of post-consumer polyester waste avoids any other material being created from yet more raw materials. It's a win-win situation made out of our wastefulness!
Fair Wear Foundation made for peace of mind in manufacturing. Made with ethical trade and justice for workers. We don't want to make a garment covered in tears, no matter how rebellious our images are!
Illustrated by artists, ethically produced!

So many websites. So little space. With Google owning more than eighty percent of the search market and more than a quarter billion websites currently vying for position, is it any w
|www,domain,internet,web,net (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The problem is that being on Page One is not the end of the rainbow by any means. Ultimately the goal of any successful online marketing campaign is to generate new business in terms of leads and sales. Even if you rank number one on page one of Google under a high traffic keyword, this won't necessarily make the cash register ring. Browsing habits and online expectations have changed over the past few years. The old adage of "Set it and forget it" where a business owner could create a static site and walk away for two to three years no longer applies. So if you absolutely positively need your site to turn clicks into cash, here are the points you need to address.
1. What's the Ultimate Purpose of Your Website?
The answer varies from site to site. Some sites are designed to sell directly to a national or worldwide audience, while others are lead generation machines where prospects are directed to fill out a form or pick up the phone. In order to accomplish either of these goals, the first thing you need to understand is that if someone's first encounter with you is vie the Internet then there are several givens that you need to address. In the first place, they don't know you. In the second they don't trust you. Last but not least, there are thousands of other firms like yours with which to do business, many of whom charge less than you. If you are looking to instill confidence and avoid a bidding war, you need to show prospects up front that you are better than the average bear. The best way to do this is via video. If your homepage does not contain both an introduction and testimonial video, then don't complain if you aren't bringing home the bacon.
2. How Have User "Likes" Changed in the Past Five Years?
|A business ideally is continually seeking feedback from customers: are the products helpful? are their needs being met? Constructive criticism helps marketers adjust offerings to meet customer needs. Source of diagram: here (see public domain declaration at top). Questions: write me at my Wikipedia talk page (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It used to be that prospects would come to a site and click through four or five pages looking to glean a little bit of information that would tell them whether to do business with you or not. This is no longer the case. Far from checking out subsidiary pages, most prospects are reluctant to click below the fold on page one. Sad to say, but you have less than two minutes to dangle the bait, set the hook and reel in the fish. That being said, you need to have the following five elements appear above the fold: your phone number, your videos, your offer, your Google map and an auto-responder form.
If you sell more than one line, you need to create a separate but branded page for each line. If the prospect comes onto the site seeking apples, then everything from the text to the video to your offer needs to talk about apples. If they come onto the page seeking apples and you are talking oranges, they are not going to take the time to look for the link that says "Apples." They are simply going to go back to the search engine and look for another site. The secret to designing successful organic search engine campaigns is that you need to look at the keyword as the question and the landing page as the answer. Another key to credibility is accountability. If your site contains neither a physical address nor a phone number, why should anyone trust you. For many consumers, the letters WWW stands for "Wild, Wild West," where no claim goes unjumped and there is no Captain James T. West to police the frontier town. Every day the public is inundated with stories about savvy cyber criminals whose only aim is to dupe an unwary consumers out of their cold, hard cash. If you want a cyber-shopper to trust you, meet them halfway. Prove to them that you're for real. Even if you don't want to field phone calls you can set up a Google Voice number and then choose to either call back or text a caller.
The alternative is that if you fail to instill confidence in a customer, don't gripe when they fail to purchase your goods and services.
3. Are You Trying to Make it in This Brave New World with a Site That's "Old School"?
|Two phones with mobile internet capability displayed (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
All of these things are important to the buying public. The public isn't interested in graphically charged websites that fail to tell them what they need to know in order to make a buying decision. They didn't come to your site in order to be dazzled by your layout. What's more important is to hit them right between the eyes with your message. In a nutshell, what's visible above the fold needs to answer these simple questions: Who are you? How long have you been in this line of business? Why should I do business with you as opposed to anyone else? The rest is just window dressing.
4. Why Don't Visitors Return to My Site?

The bottom line when it comes to creating a dynamic and effective web presence is to be willing to accept the fact that if what you are doing isn't working, then change the paradigm. The most successful online marketers are those who are willing to embrace change and who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and start working the claim in order to make the most of this interactive multimedia broadcast station we call the Internet.
