America's fittest cities - S.F. breaks top 5
(05-30) 10:22 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Despite a fondness for immense fried-pork burritos and gourmet ice cream and a relative scarcity of recreational facilities like pools and play fields, San Francisco is one of the five fittest cities in America, according to a new report.
San Francisco came in at No. 5 - just ahead of San Jose but just short of Denver, according to the American College of Sports Medicine's American Fitness Index. It mixed private and government data to rank the nation's 50 largest urban areas based on preventive health behaviors, levels of chronic disease and resources that support exercise.
The report is a "snapshot of the state of health in the community and an evaluation of the infrastructure, community assets and policies that encourage healthy and fit lifestyles," said Walter Thompson, chairman of the index advisory board.
San Francisco was applauded for having fewer smokers and less obesity than the average city. Residents were said to exercise a lot, attend farmers' markets, eat fruit and bike or walk to work. Meanwhile, the city has relatively low death rates for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Still, San Francisco came up short in plenty of "improvement priority areas," the report said. Residents have higher-than-average rates of asthma and diabetes, while the city ranks low - per-capita - in providing baseball and softball diamonds, golf courses, swimming pools, playgrounds and recreation centers.
Beating out San Francisco were Washington, D.C., Minneapolis-St. Paul, Portland and Denver. Click through the gallery above to see the 10 fittest metro areas, the least fit area and some other notable places.

INTERVIEW: Ray of Light; Viet Nam's Tran Ahn Hung Cyclos His Way to "Vertical"
by Laura Phipps
(indieWIRE/ 07.09.01) — Vietnamese-born director Tran Anh Hung doesn't play around. His debut feature, 1993's "The Scent of Green Papaya" won the French Cfésar for best feature and garnered a foreign film Oscar nom in the States. Although the "Papaya" takes place in Viet Nam, it was shot entirely on a prepared sound stage in France, where Tran was educated after emigrating there at age twelve. He followed "Papaya" with 1995's "Cyclo," a violent portrait of a rickshaw driver that won the Golden Lion at the Venice Festival.
Tran downshifts a few gears for his latest feature, "The Vertical Ray of the Sun." Shot in Hanoi, this visually sumptuous piece examines the lives of three sisters who are struggling with issues of fidelity and longing in their own lives as they commemorate the anniversary of their mother's death. Suong (Nguyen Nhu Quynh), the oldest sister, is carrying on a silent love affair; middle sister Khanh (Le Khanh) suspects her husband of cheating; Lien (the director's wife, Tran Nu Yen-Khé), the youngest, seems more interested in her brother than the man she's dating. Seeped in vibrant tropical colors, exquisitely choreographed and languorously paced, "Vertical Ray"'s trump card is its playful sense of humor.
indieWIRE caught up with Tran on the road. The soft-spoken, hyper-articulate director spoke about his eclectic sources of inspiration, what sets his new work apart from Wong Kar-wai's, and his national identity (or lack thereof). A sign, perhaps, of his gently persuasive directorial power, he managed to bypass the translator and steer the interview into French. The translation follows.
indieWIRE: What was the inspiration for the film's title, and what does it mean?
Tran Ahn Hung: The difficulty with the title is that the title in French is not comprehensible in English, but gives only the ambiance. The French title is "A la Verticale de l'ffété" from a Japanese poem, and it doesn't say anything really, in reality. It is just a feeling of a certain vertical quality in summer, when the sun is very high in the sky, and there is a sense of heat. The English title was chosen by the distributor as the best thing for the film.
iW: The city of Hanoi inspired the film. Tell me more about that.
Tran: Effectively, it was Hanoi that suggested the idea of the film, because Hanoi possesses a rather particular quality, which is the heat, the slowness, and the formidable sensuality. In Hanoi, the insides of houses are very little, and people do certain activities normally done inside outside on the sidewalk. Under the communist system, there are little common water sources on the street which families share. So people go out in the street, to wash themselves, to wash their vegetables, to wash their clothes, and also to wash the children. So what happens is that when you walk down the street, at night when the light fades, there is a certain sensation of the sweetness of life. The smiles of women who wash themselves, things like that. It's truly very beautiful, very powerful and very sensual. There you go. That's why I made the film there.
iW: During the process of making the film, I've read that the actor's roles were inspired in part by the actors themselves.
Tran: Yes, that's right. I played a little bit with reality and fiction. Certain roles had similarities to the actors' lives. For example the oldest sister [Suong, played by Nguyen Nhu Quynh]: In her life she is an actress, of course, but she also works in a caf

[Note: this is a slightly different version of an essay that appeared on The Poppy Foundation Website]
Studies have indicated that surveys show completely different outcomes depending on the way the questions in the survey are worded. One person will answer the very same question in two completely different ways depending on the wording of the question. Therefore, one survey could have two or more completely contradictory outcomes based simply on the way the questions were worded.
Words matter. Words have a profound effect.
Choosing one word over another, even if those words seem to mean the same thing, can make a huge difference in the way we look at things, and can even completely change one's world view. In our relationship with non-human animals, the words we use can have a major impact on the way we view animals and therefore on the way we treat them. Words we use without even thinking about them can color the way we perceive non-humans, and can perpetuate their exploitation.
An example is the word "owner" versus the word "guardian."A study done by FIREPAW shows that people who refer to themselves as their animals' guardians were more likely to treat their animals well than those who referred to themselves as their animals' owners. It makes sense. Seeing ourselves as "owners" invites us to see our animal companions as property. In Defense of Animals has a program called the Guardian Campaign, the goal of which is to have the word "owner" replaced with "guardian" in official language, and it has succeeded in doing so in areas ranging from law codes to shelter and vet forms to signs in public areas. Many jurisdictions--even the entire State of Rhode Island--now use the word "guardian" officially.
Of course, it wasn't too long ago that humans "owned" other humans. We have done away with that, but legally we still "own" non-human animals. I eagerly await the day this law changes, and we regard the owning of any creature as abhorrent. But law reflects culture, and we can start by choosing to use the term "guardian." As people think of animals less as property and more as fellow beings, we will treat them better, and the law will follow.
Something I hear often, even among many animal advocates–people one would think would know better–is the habit of referring to non-human animals as "it," with its concomitant "that" or "which" instead of "who" or "whom." This seems to come so naturally to some people, but whenever I hear it, it is so obviously discordant, it affects me the same way as hearing someone use terribly bad grammar. Many people give the excuse that they don't know the gender of the animal, and therefore can't say "he" or "she." But if you didn't know the gender of a human, would you call that human it? I doubt it. Referring to non-human animals as "it" helps people to think of them as objects, not the living beings they are, and therefore gives permission to exploit them, to treat them any way we please without regard for their feelings.
There is another type of word usage, or mis-usage that has a slightly different background. The use of the word "shelter" to denote a place where animals are taken in and killed, and the use of the word "euthanasia" to describe that killing have come about as euphemisms, a way to make the pounds seem like places that are protecting animals, and the killing that occurs in them seem like a favor to the animals. The use of such words intentionally hides what these places actually are and what actually happens in them. And this, too, has a disastrous effect on the animals. When the public thinks of pounds as "shelters," they are lulled into thinking that animals are cared for and protected there. They are more likely to abandon their animals at these places, thinking of the "shelter" as a safe haven where the animals will be cared for and protected until a good home is found They are also less likely to be outraged at the killing that goes on and to want to do what it takes to stop it. Often those who are working to help animals will buy into the use of these terms, even though they know how inaccurate and misleading the words are, simply because they don't want to be seen as too radical, or to alienate the people affiliated with the system. But until we quit using euphemisms that hide the truth and begin using accurate words for these things, the killing will continue.
Another word that is wrongly used to denote killing an animal is destroy, as in "the animal was destroyed." No. The animal was killed. You kill living beings. You destroy inanimate objects.
The way we talk about animals in the wild also affects the way we think of them and consequently the way we treat them. When they are no longer seen as feeling individuals, but rather "natural resources," well, aren't resources just things we use for our own benefit? When we kill them and refer to it as "harvesting," we turn them into something like wheat or oranges, not the feeling beings they are. Then, when some animals who haven't been targeted for killing are accidentally killed in the massacre, they become "trash animals" (the non-human equivalent of "collateral damage").
Then there's meat--oh, the euphemisms we use to distance ourselves from the fact we are eating someone's dead body. It has been sanitized so entirely that we don't have to think about it–to even connect the meal with the individual we are consuming. We don't eat pigs and cows and calves; we eat pork and beef and veal. If you eat pork, well, pork is not an animal, it's food, and you don't have to even think about the living, feeling pig it once was. If we called it what it really was, I think more people would hesitate before they dug into that piece of meat, and many would finally make the connection and perhaps give up meat altogether.
Unfortunately, our everyday language is filled not only with thoughtless references to non-human animals, but also with downright derogatory ones. To merely call someone an animal is considered an insult, as are, more specifically, the terms "pig," "rat," "snake," and so many others. We talk about "killing two birds with one stone" as if that were a good thing to do. These references are deeply ingrained in our culture, so much so that even those who are at the forefront of protecting animals are not immune from it. Even such a major voice for animals as Paul Watson, in an email alert, once called seal hunters "cigarette smoking ape[s]." He is trying to protect seals, but in the process he is sending a subtle but pernicious message that apes are something bad. Only by being vigilant, not only in removing them from our own language, but also in bringing it politely to the attention of others who use these terms and phrases, can we weed them out. One might ask, "is this really necessary? After all, they are just expressions, and have nothing to do with actual animals." But that's one thing about the power of words; it is insidious and often subliminal.
The words we choose to talk about anything or anyone color the way we view that thing or being. In the case of non-human animals, this can give us an unspoken permission to treat them in harmful ways. After all, wouldn't it be easier for you to "harvest" a "resource" than to murder a fellow being? And doesn't it seem perfectly permissible–even the right thing to do–to "euthanize" someone rather than kill him?
Of course, simply changing the words we use to talk about animals alone won't magically change our treatment of them. Words not only shape our attitudes, they also reflect them. But words can serve to perpetuate a mindset. If those of us who are actively working to help animals remain vigilant and only use language of respect, it can help others think differently about animals, which may in turn help them to act differently.

A blog, similar to mine, but from the perspective of a UK domestic student! Useful tips on Advocacy, the BPTC, etc. Do check it out.
– Morshed,
Know your case
I cannot stress enough the importance of 'knowing your brief'. When you receive your papers for your very first advocacy class read them, and then read them again! Make sure you are familiar with the facts of the case. I would suggest making a chronology of the key dates and moments in the case to give you a clearer picture of your brief. Do not go to your advocacy session without reading the case! Nobody is expecting you to memorise the brief word for word, but you should know (1) what has happened, (2) who you are representing, (3) who are the key witnesses, (4) the evidence you have e.g. CCTV and (5) what you are asking the court for i.e. a bail application, plea in mitigation etc.
Know what you are going to say
Plan your submission and know the points you are going to make…

SOURCE: ps3 not reading
If your PS3 is not reading any disks at all, than it is defective and should be replaced. If it's within a year of when you bought it, and you still have the receipt, you can take it back and exchange it for another one for free.
Few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Does the player make squealing noises or is it totally quiet? Squealing noises may indicate that the player is trying to synchronize with the disc but can't due to an obstruction on the lens or in the laser path inside the pickup or a defect in the pickup. This can also be caused by an intermittent signal problem due to a faulty ribbon cable.
Totally silent means that the photo sensor is not getting any usable input from the laser at all, meaning that the pickup is "blind" for lack of a better word.
This can be caused by an obstruction of the beam by foreign matter on the lens or inside the pickup all the way to a marginal or failed laser diode and/or photosensor array. This can also be caused by a bad ribbon cable with one or more severed traces.
You could try to clean the optics. This is the most common malfunction as far as i know in all disc players. It would involve taking the cover off and finding a way to expose the lense, and then cleaning it with a very gentle brush. some players have a cover for the lense that swings to the side during playing, this greatly reduces the chance of dust accumulating, but its still worth the try.
If you actually see dust on the lense, then its just that simple. clean, close, play.
It may also be worth your while to check on the small shafting that guides the carriage of the laser pickup. Dirt, grome, dust and solidified lubricant can cause stoppage of the carriage and the laser eye then fails to read the next track. Please refer to the image below.

Take Control of Your Financial Life
Personal financial apps are designed to help you make sense of your money. How much do you have? How much do you owe? Are you spending wisely? What do you need to do to get a mortgage or car loan? The best personal finance services help you answer these questions and others. More than anything else, they educate you on money matters.
The most popular and well-known personal finance apps work on the premise that better money management comes through centralization and visibility. If you can see all your accounts and spending habits, your credit history, or the billable hours across your business all in one place, you are better equipped to make good decisions about your financial situation.
Best Overall Personal Finance Service
Mint.com remains PCMag's top pick among personal finance services, because it's useful every day. While some apps specialize in one area, Mint does a little bit of everything. Mint tracks your spending and account balances, helps you pay bills on time, monitors monthly budgets that you establish, encourages you to set financial goals, provides your credit score, and gives you one of your credit reports.
The Mint mobile app lets you check your account balances and monthly budgets before making a purchase. If it's the end of the month and you already spent more than you should on expensive coffee, Mint tells you as much, which will hopefully influence your spending decisions going forward.
Best for Credit Reports and Scores
There are two online services we like for credit reports: Credit Karma and WalletHub. Credit Karma pulls your credit report and score from both Experian and
Both WalletHub and Credit Karma alert you when changes occur on your credit report, giving you an opportunity to catch errors early. A unique feature in WalletHub is an excellent graph that charts changes to your credit score over time. Credit Karma, meanwhile, has a handy tool that anticipates how your credit score might change if you take certain actions, such as applying for a new credit card or car loan and whether you are accepted or rejected.
Best for Household Management
A more unusual personal finance tool, called Doxo, is a digital filing cabinet as well as a bill payment hub. Doxo automatically collects electronic statements from all kinds of providers, from utility companies to banks and other businesses. It saves them in one central account. You can also upload other kinds of family and household documents to your digital filing cabinet, such as medical bills. It certainly is an invaluable tool you'll really appreciate the next time you have to dig up months' worth of statements for a loan or a legal matter.
Doxo's real financial feature, however, is bill payment. Doxo lets you schedule bills to be paid to various providers—all from one place. It's often free, but that depends on whether the provider is in Doxo's network and on a few other details, such as whether you use a bank account or a credit card to make the payment. Sometimes the payment comes with a small fee, either around $2.99 or about 3.5 percent of the payment amount if you use a credit card or if the provider is not in Doxo's network. For smaller service providers, such as regional gas and electric companies, I recommend checking directly with the provider first to be sure they can process payments from Doxo. Once it's set up, however, you can manage and pay all your bills from one place, as well as save all your statements.
Best for Manual Entry
Most personal finance apps have moved away from offline desktop software due to the vast benefits of online connectivity. That said, not everyone wants to connect to their bank accounts directly and manage their finances online. Quicken remains the big name in this space. Quicken is desktop software that gives you an option to manage your finances locally. Quicken has a few versions of its software, including the reasonably priced Quicken Starter Edition ($39.99), which offers income and expense management as well as budgeting tools. There are optional online aspects, too, such as bank transaction import and bill-pay.
Another app that has been very popular for its offline service is YNAB (which stands for you need a budget), but even that app has moved online recently. Luckily, the latest version of YNAB still gives you an option to manage your budgets manually instead of automatically. When you choose this option, you never have to connect to any of your bank accounts for the budgeting app to work.
While older versions of YNAB are no longer supported, you can still download and install a copy of YNAB 3 and 4 for Mac and Windows if you are a legacy user and want to continue with the older app.
Best for Freelancers
Although some might assume personal financial software is all about budgeting the money you already have, that's not the whole story. Before you can have any money, you have to get paid, and if you've ever worked as a freelancer you know that the onus is on you to track your time and submit invoices for work you've done. Harvest is an excellent solution for freelancers and small businesses that need to track their time and bill clients for hourly or project-rate work. The app offers both time-tracking tools and complete invoicing software in one package. It's among the best time-tracking apps for its ease of use and ability to integrate with dozens of other online services.
Best Mobile Personal Finance Apps
All the personal finance software mentioned here consists of apps that run on the desktop or in a web browser. Many of them have companion mobile personal finance apps, but they are not exclusively for mobile.
Mobile apps can be an important component, however, because they give you access to your financial situation when you're out in the world and perhaps spending money. That's exactly when you want to be able to see the balances of your bank accounts and credit cards, check where your budget stands, and so forth.
Are Personal Finance Apps Secure?
One very important concern many people have about personal finance apps is security. Typically, personal finance apps and online services use 128-bit bank level or 256-bit military-level encryption and are verified by TRUSTe, VeriSign, and MacAfee. Apps that pull detailed information from your accounts have read-only access, meaning they can see the information, but they can't change the information or make requests to move money.
The exception is for bill-pay services. A few apps, such as Mint and Doxo, include a bill payment service that lets you authorize payments to be made from accounts you authorize to the biller (or sometimes a third party that facilitates the payment). In both Mint and Doxo, this part of the service is optional, so you can skip it if you do not want to give those apps any authority to move money.
Is there a risk
Other Financial Tools
The tools in this list of the best personal finance software are designed primarily for individuals and households, although as the name suggests, Quicken Home & Business offers some tools for small businesses as well. For more tools for people who work for themselves, you can read our roundup of the best online accounting tools.

After 42 years, it's all over for the Dassault Super Etendard in French service. The final flight was scheduled for Tuesday 12 July at Landivisiau airbase, close to the French Atlantic coast. In its career, the sea was familiar territory for the Etendard, as the type was also operated from French Navy aircraft carriers.
The final flight was performed in front of hundreds of spectators at Landivisiau. Only five jets remained in service until the very end, although a significant number of Etendards still participated in operations against co-called Islamic State forces untill recently, flying from a French carrier.
Amazing Super Etendard farewell picture via https://t.co/UeUSLHmim5 https://t.co/wwLxcRcQBR #avgeeks pic.twitter.com/jJisvxXAOw
— Guillaume Steuer (@G_Steuer) 12 juli 2016
Less known is the fact that France leased some Etendards to Iraq in the Eighties. Iraq then used the aircraft to employ the feared Exocet anti-shipping missiles at Iranian vessels in the Persian Gulf. The jets eventually returned to France,
The Dassault Rafale of course replaces the Etendard in French service, with several dozen already in service. The last Etendards will probably find their way to museums in technical schools.
The world's last Etendards are now to be found in Argentina, which operates just a few aircraft. These jets earned their fame in the 1982 Falklands war.

Is All This Burning Necessary? (Part 4/4)
Lesson 4 of 4
Objective: Students will compare their data with data from a Long-term Ecological Research Site.
In today's lesson, students will have a debriefing session concerning yesterday's field trip. First, they will summarize what they learned in an in-class writing. Because this is a trip my biology classes take every year, I value their feedback in order to keep this trip relevant for their peers. They will discuss what things needed to be added to make the trip better. They will explain what needs to not continue to occur in next year's trip. They will offer suggestions for things that need improvement or what was good about the trip and needs to stay the same. This discussion technique is based on a Boy Scout discussion strategy called Start, Stop, Continue. It is a wonderful way to quickly get feedback from a group of students and give them ownership in the planning process. The local field study can be found at this link. The analysis of the field study can be found at this link. The lesson that describes the field trip to compare our data with the LTER site's data is found here. This part three of a multi-day lesson. The other lessons can be found at these links (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). Here is what the students will learn today.

Ask students to write an short in-class essay in their lab notebook that explains
- three new things that learned about the prairie
- two things that surprised them about their trip to Konza
- one thing that they would change about the trip or add to the trip, if given the chance.
Students should only have the class period to write their essay (unless otherwise stated in their IEP). When they are finished, students should turn their lab notebook into the teacher for evaluation.
Here are two examples of students' essays (sample one and sample two).

Bring the students back together as a class. Write Start, Stop, and Continue on the whiteboard. Explain to students that their feedback is needed to continue to make this annual trip a success. Ask them to think about everything that happened yesterday (from student behavior to the type of activities they did.) Ask students to suggest several items that they would have liked to see on yesterday's field. Record their feedback under the START heading.
Next, ask them what happened on the field trip that should never happen again. Record their feedback under the STOP heading. Finally, ask students what went well. Students should explain what should continue to happen on future trips. Recored their feedback under the CONTINUE heading. While students are giving feedback, write all responses on the board. Save their feedback to help improve future field trips.

Locksmiths in Flemington offer a highly demanded service, which generally relates to maintaining and installing the various types of lock systems, from the standard key locks to the complex electronic or biometric locks. The most common types of locksmith professions consist of the emergency, industrial, commercial, and residential, which each of the specific fields requiring different skills and abilities.
Residential work is likely to be the most common of the services provided by a residential locksmith. A domestic property owner looks at personal security and safety as a key reason when it comes to making sure a home is fully secured against a would-be intruder. A locksmith has gained the experience and knowledge to suggest the most effective locks for a properties doors and windows. Beyond the ability to install new locking systems, the locksmith is also able to repair or replace the locks on the older styled properties. Extra services offered by a local locksmiths offer security advice, a key cutting service, installing locks on a garage or similar outbuilding, and installing at-home safes or vaults.
How Do I Choose A Residential Locksmith in Flemington?
Locksmith services contribute a lot in terms of maintaining an environment that is safe and secure for everyone. Locksmith service providers have something in common, i.e. they provide twenty-four hour services to customers. This indicates that there is no need to fix a broken lock yourself.
Calling a locksmith to fix your problem is way better than putting in your own effort. Along with that, it can also serve the purpose of coming up with new keys.
Different Varieties of Locksmith Services
Even if you have ample knowledge of how to fix locks, you never know when you need an entirely different kind of service from your locksmith. This is because locksmiths provide different types of services according to the needs of their customers. Some examples are key cutting, lock picking, new ignition keys, replacing lost keys, trunk opening, and duplicating vehicle keys.
Usefulness of Locksmith Services in Holidays
While spending your holidays, it is a possibility that you reach a destination and lock your car with your car keys inside. Of course, you might feel powerless at the moment. But luckily, locksmiths serve the purpose of opening your car door effectively.
It does not matter where you are and what time of the day you are stuck in a problem. Even if it is late night and you cannot find any locksmith nearby to help you out, you can call international locksmiths. That is how the importance of contacting a reliable locksmith company makes a difference to your holidays.
The Services Provided by Mobile Locksmiths
It has been years now that you have been working like a donkey, multiple shifts a day, exhausting yourself to sleep every day, the only consolation being that you will probably manage enough to buy yourself a house soon. Working day in and day out, you finally save sufficient enough to make you the proud owner of a bungalow and a car to boast about. But at the end of the day, you end up doing a mistake people often make; that is, compromising on the quality of locks used or misplacing the only set of keys you had.
Now all the while that you have lost the only set of keys, your mind would be full of visions of how the most dangerous thief will catch hold of them and magically discover your house before you can reach back to safeguard it. Or even worse, while you stand outside keeping an eye, an armed group of dacoits might threaten you at gunpoint or shoot you at a point blank range. No!! Stop imagining. It would not ever reach that far. All you need to do is to call for a reliable locksmith service vendor.
Locksmith services are also en cashed upon in access control systems wherein a single key holds the entry to a multi door system, for example. Alarm systems are another region of application of locksmith services. Also intercom system safety can be ensured by asking for the help of professionals

Wealth Platform
Welcome to Aspect8
Aspect8 is an award winning firm of Chartered Financial Planners. We blend cutting edge technology, holistic financial planning and discretionary fund management to deliver what we believe is the best absolute wealth management proposition in the UK.
Aspect8 believe in looking after the lifelong financial needs of our clients and ensuring that wealth cascades through the generations. We have been helping our clients create and protect wealth for over 2 decades many of whom are now our friends.
Aspect8 has a dedicated corporate department which advises on employee benefits and auto enrollment. In addition, we advise many company owners how to structure their personal and corporate finances in the most efficient way.
The Trustee Act 2000 placed an emphasis on the blend and tax-efficiency of investments. Aspect8 have much experience of advising trustees on their duties and constructing appropriate portfolios linked to the goals of their beneficiaries.
We advise charity trustees how to invest to further the purposes of the charity. This is usually seen as being achieved by seeking the best return from investments at an acceptable level of risk. Aspect8 also run three ethical strategies.
Holistic planning
To quote Aristotle "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts". In the case of absolute financial planning for life this could not be more true.
Inspiration for our name was born from the 8 elements that must be considered in order deliver a financial plan that works for the long term.
Take time to click through these slides to find out what the 8 elements are and how they interact with each other.
Trusts are extremely useful instruments in helping us protect your investments and route benefits to your chosen beneficiaries in the most tax efficient way.
Trusts come in many forms and can be as simple as death benefit nomination for your pension to asset protection and disability trusts.
Aspect8 have a default position in that we would always consider trusts as part of every financial plan and level term assurance should always be written under an appropriate trust.
Aspect8 believe that advising clients on any type of debt must come before investment advice. Indeed, mortgages are first on our lists of priorities when we advise you.
Even if you do not want a mortgage it is also important to establish if you intend to borrow in the future as this has to be taken into consideration as apart of a whole plan.
Your main residence is probably the most important purchase you will ever make and usually a very prudent one. We generally consider mortgages for this purpose an investment.
As part of any financial plan we all need an emergency fund, generally we would aim to have at least six months expenses available.
In addition to an emergency fund, we view savings as short to medium-term investments of say less than five years.
Deposits are also a low-risk home for your portfolio and can help reduce your overall risk if you hold other asset classes such as equity and property.
You will have to bear in mind that, over the longer term, your money may lose its value because of inflation.
On the surface protection can appear rather boring and is often overlooked by financial planners in the pursuit of wealth management advice. It may even appear beneath some advisers who may outsource this to other lower qualified individuals.
Life insurance and Critical Illness are effective products and can make a huge difference in the lifestyle of your loved ones should the worst happen.
We believe that protection advice must come before investment advice and a suitable trust must be considered in every case.
Where do we start? There is so much choice here but investments should only be considered after borrowings and protection are covered. After we have secured these areas Aspect8 have a 5 step process as defined below.
• Determine goals and risk tolerance
• Determine appropriate asset allocation
• Select wrappers and implement strategy
• Monitor and rebalance as necessary
• Document results
This topic is complex - take a deep dive under our section 'Wealth Management'
Rather than just ask you the questions "How much would you need to retire on and at what age", we would prefer to ask you how you see your own retirement. It does lead to some colorful answers!!!! However, we believe it is essential to visualise your own retirement.
As with investments, pensions are a complex instruments and must be considered with all other elements. If you think about it, paying of debts, losing your usual income stream, non pension assets, taxation and trusts must all be considered to do the job properly. Selling pensions is not what it's all about!
In a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy in 1789, Benjamin Franklin was credited with the phrase "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Although we agree with this we try to minimise the effect of both at Aspect8. Tax efficiency is inherent in all our processes. Our goal is to ensure that you make full use of all available allowances and reliefs where possible.
As usual things are never that simple and trusts and tax advice go together like fish and chips.
Income Protection
Income Protection comes second on our agenda of hierarchal needs. The reason is quite simply that your income is your biggest asset. If you are reliant on your own ability to earn money then a long term illness or disability could be devastating to you and your family.
As with all plans, income protection should not be bought in isolation and should be considered as part of a protection package alongside existing plans and employment benefits.
Aspect8 at the awards
Aspect8 are again delighted to win the award for Leading Adviser Business in the Best UK Platform Awards 2017. We are proud this is the 5th consecutive year and demonstrates our expertise and commitment in the Financial Services Industry. We constantly look to excel in our field and provide the very best service and innovation to our customers.

While reading an article about Hyper-V per-VM CPU settings, I saw this in the FAQ:
Why do you use percentage for the limit and reserve – and not MHz / GHz?
Many people find it easier to think in MHz / GHz rather than percentage of a physical computer. They also argue that using a percentage means that as you move a virtual machine from computer to computer you may get different amounts of resource depending on the underlying capability.
This is something that has been discussed extensively on the Hyper-V team, and while I do believe there is some merit in this approach, there are a number of reasons why we chose to use a percentage instead. Two key ones are:
- Predictable mobility
If all your virtual machines have a reserve of 10% – you know that you can run 10 of them on any of your servers. The same would not be true if they all had a reserve of 250Mhz. Given how important virtual machine mobility is to our users – we believe that this is something that needs to be easy to manage.
- Not all MHz are the same
1GHz on a Pentium IV is much slower than 1GHz on a Core i7. Furthermore – newer processors tend to be more efficient at virtualization than older processors, so the difference between the "bang for buck" that you get out of each MHz varies greatly between processor types. This means that in reality – defining a reserve or limit in MHz / GHz does not really give you a great performance guarantee anyway.
Even though this seems to be a list of technical arguments, the claims made are non-sensical:
- "we use a relative percentage instead of a fixed unit because we want you to be sure you can run a certain number of guests on any CPU." What ?? Who says that my VMs will actually still run when they suddenly get only half of the power they needed, because they were moved to a CPU with half the horsepower ? A reserve is supposed to be a guarantee, a limit is supposed to be just that: a limit. Even the examples they give for using a reserve or a limit would fail. A misbehaving app that sucks CPU, will suddenly be allowed to use even more, just because it's now running on a faster CPU.
- "Not all MHz are the same." That's not a very good reason to use percentages instead, is it. Are they claiming that every % _is_ the same ?

Take Five
Take Five
I get it – you're super busy with lots of responsibilities, duties and distractions. But let's take five minutes to focus on something really important: you! Let's go through a quick check list of your overall wellness to see how you're doing.
Why? Because the better you take care of yourself, the better you'll be at taking care of all those important people and things in your life as well. And that in turn will make the world a better place. Truly!
So we're going to do a little self-assessment. A five minute inventory of how you're feeling and what you're doing. So right now, remove as many distractions as you can, find a quiet place, and let's reflect on the following…
Right now, at this very moment, how do you feel – essentially what's your mental state? Are you anxious, stressed, happy, or content? Is there something going on that's currently putting you in this state? If you're having a stressful or difficult time, take a moment to breathe, meditate, or journal to bring things back in line.
Next, stand up and stretch your arms way up overhead. Knock out a few shoulder circles, assisted squats, and any other basic movements you can perform. Did you feel or notice any pain or discomfort? Is it something new, or from a nagging injury you never fully got assessed and addressed? If you're having pain anywhere of any sort, get it checked out, and come up with a plan to get things back in normal, pain-free, working order.
Now, when you woke up this morning, did you make sure to drink a glass or two of water? We tend to dehydrate overnight through respiration and other bodily functions (which is why your scale looks so good first thing in the morning). What's your hydration been like today? Do you have your refillable bottle with you now? If it's empty, go fill it up, and stay on top of your water intake.
What about food? DId you pack your snacks and meals for the day? If not, what's your plan for getting some healthy eats later? Do you have a healthy snack stashed in your bag or purse in case one of your meetings go long or things get extra busy? And what plant based foods have you consumed so far today, and what fresh fruits and vegetables will you consume before the day is over?
Finally, have you already knocked out your workout today, or do you have plans to attend a class or go on a walk later? If not, review your schedule now and look for a 30 minute window where you can add in some activity. It doesn't have to be major, it just has to be something. Heck, you can even put on your favorite playlist and dance around like a crazy person. Just make sure you make time to move today.
That's it! Evaluation over… From here, try to fill in any gaps you noticed during this quick assessment, and make time each day to take a little personal inventory of where you are and what's going on in your life. These little check-ins will help you stay tuned-in and connected, and lead to better overall health and wellness.

You enjoy watching YouTube videos for fun and sometimes to learn valuable things. But the problem comes when your school or office network administrator blocks your favorite website like YouTube. And if you're really crazy about YouTube and you can't live without it. It very important for you to learn how to unblock YouTube at school and office.
After searching and trying many different methods I found a software called Hotspot Shield. This software not only lets you access blocked websites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter but also makes you anonymous user. It hides your IP address by replacing it with U.S IP address.
Why Should I Use Hotspot Shield?
- Access restricted websites like YouTube, Facebook and many more.
- Bypass internet filters and firewalls at school or at office.
- Anonymously surf the internet.
- Full protection from online threat.
- Available for Windows, Mac, Android & iPhone.
It is one of the most popular VPN service which lets you unblock YouTube using proxy. There are millions of people who use this software for online security, privacy and even to get access to blocked websites. With this software installed on your computer you can easily bypass internet filters set by your school or office network administrator.
The software has received outstanding ratings by CNET editors. There are two different version available. The first version is ad-supported which is available for free. The second version is a premium solution which will cost you $29.95. But I don't think this price would matter you for not buying the Elite version.
So if you really want to unblock YouTube at school and office go ahead and start using Hotspot Shield.
If you have any other idea to unblock YouTube at school and office then share your idea with as by comment and also share this tip with your friends.

This post was sponsored by Johnson & Johnson as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
I love December. This month seems to be filled with shopping, parties, feasting, travel, and presents. It's fun! In the midst of the celebrations I am constantly aware of the need around me. There are so many who lack even the very basics needed to live a good life. Children are particularly vulnerable.
Earlier this week my daughters preschool teacher pulled me aside at school and told me that she had overheard the sweetest conversation between Willow and one of her classmates. She was sitting at the snack table with her friend and chatting in their sweet little five year old voices. The topic of Christmas came up and all of the presents they are wishing to receive. Willow said "but we need to remember, Christmas is not just about getting presents! It's about giving too." The two precious children talked about the true meaning of Christmas and how it better to give than to get.
Honestly, I sometimes wonder if my daughter is hearing anything I say. When I heard about that little conversation she had with her friend without being prompted by any adults, I was so proud. Our kids do actually listen! The good things we work to teach them are actually sinking in!
How are you giving back this holiday season? I would encourage you to look for every opportunity to reach out; volunteer with a local charity, make a donation, be extra generous, and find ways to pay it forward.
There are so many ways to give back during the holidays. One simple thing you can do right now is donate a photo. For every photo shared through the free Donate a Photo app, Johnson & Johnson will donate $1 to a trusted non-profit partner of your choice.* This allows you to raise funds and awareness through the simple act of sharing a photo. Save the Children is one of the incredibly important causes that can be supported. You can also purchase a gift from the Save the Children "Gifts of Joy" holiday catalog and when you do, Johnson & Johnson will match the donation (up to $450,000).
Click here to download the Donate a Photo app.
As you volunteer and give, both during the holidays and all year long, be sure to involve your children if you are a parent. Our kids have so much sincere love to give. Let's be aware of their amazing capacity for compassion and provide them with opportunities to reach out.
How have you been volunteering and giving? If you are a parent, in what ways do your children participate in charity work?
*Johnson & Johnson has curated a list of trusted causes, and you can donate a photo to one cause, once a day. Each cause will appear in the app until it reaches its goal, or the donation period ends. If the goal isn't reached, the cause will still get a minimum donation.

Culture Shock
Dates 5 Apr '12 to 10 May '12
Flexible? Yeah, sure
Est. Cost 800 - 1,300 GBP (GBP United Kingdom Pounds)
Type Travel Partners Wanted
Name Driving home from Mongolia
I am looking out for a few people 3 at maximum to help drive an Austin Maestro back from Mongolia to the UK, We will be leaving around 5th April and can take as long as necessary to return home though I am expecting to take around three weeks to complete the drive comfortably, I would like to take a predominantly Russian route though we can travel a fair distance across Mongolia itself if this is the team consensus but noting the car must exit Mongolia on the 3rd may at the latest due to customs issues, We can return back through either Ukraine or up through Finland and Norway.
The trip is part of a new fund-raising project called the relay rally, check it out here www.relay.charityrallies.org The car has travelled to Tajikistan and onto Mongolia as a preliminary test and now we have to bring her home for upgrades and the official launch.
This will be a budget style trip lots of camping, as the drive home is 10,000 miles I am expecting it to take around 3 weeks though it is possible in ten days!
There are no extra costs involved other than fuel and your travel costs and some car repair funds if it breaks!
The budget looks like this
£500-600 flight to Mongolia (Ullunbattor)
A share of the fuel bill! Though I should have this covered to a degree!
£ visas for Mongolia and Russia and any others you may need (depending on nationality)
£ food… pretty cheap
£ car repair costs, maybe £100pp contribution (refunded or put into fuel budget if nothing happens)
So it works out as a pretty cheap trip!
Driving home from Mongolia

The exact dosing instructions for nitric oxide supplement is not known. However, most supplements contain an average dose of grams of L-arginine and L-citrulline. We suggest you follow a process known as tolerance mapping to understand just how much nitric acid is required for your body. The process is simple. All you have to do is start with a small dose in Week 1. During the first week, make sure you note down the benefits and side effects that you are feeling. Once your body has adjusted to the lowest dose possible, you can then increase the dosing until you start feeling beneficial effects. Gradually, your body starts adjusting to the supplement and you will hit your optimal dose. However, the temporary recommendations for the supplement that you can take 2000mg-6000mg per day for optimum effects. Please note that overdosing is possible as dose variations can happen due to physiological differences. In case you notice diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, and nausea, stop the supplement immediately and consult your personal physician. Please note that liquids are absorbed much faster than solids and dosages for liquids will be lower than that of solid preparations.
In either case, both men and women, Anavar can be used for far longer than most oral anabolic steroids due to its low liver toxicity rating and further as it does not appear to taper off in benefit as fast as many other oral anabolic steroids. The majority of Anavar users will supplement for 6-8 weeks but longer durations of 12 weeks are not uncommon, especially during female contest preparation time. Keep in mind, the leaner you are the greater the results will be, meaning, they will be far more pronounced; for this reason most women will choose Anavar during the latter half of their diet to reap the greatest reward.

Rental demand remains high, despite prediction of rising lease rates
Share on
A considerable number of Americans believe rental rates will jump nationwide during the course of the next year, a survey by Fannie Mae indicates. However, many of these residents stated they continually prefer to lease, rather than buy, homes.
According to the National Housing Survey for March, one-third of Americans polled said they expect home prices and rents to rise markedly during the next 12 months. The average rental rate hike was found to be 4.1 percent.
Though roughly two-thirds of those surveyed said they would buy their next home rather than lease, the survey indicates 30 percent of respondents would rent – one percentage point higher than in February.
This figure for rental preference grew despite nearly half of those polled stating they believed rental rates would increase during the following year.
"Americans' rental price expectations for the next year continue to rise, reaching their record high level for our survey this month," said Fannie Mae vice president and chief economist Doug Duncan from Washington D.C..
The number of property owners who employ rental managers may rise, as a number of small-time investors are snatching up low-priced properties and converting them to rental units to take advantage of the still-high demand.

Anna Radosz Day
This blog is a commemoration to Anna Radosz, a 27 year old Polish woman who died so that her child may live.
In this world of selfishness, where children are killed in the womb out of convenience, Anna paid the ultimate sacrifice. She could have saved her own life by killing her child in the womb, but she didn't. Anna waited until her child would have a chance to live before giving birth and then taking treatment for cancer. Unfortunately for Anna, her child and her partner, it was too late, the cancer had spread to her lungs and elsewhere.
What can you do every May 18th to commemorate the courage and unselfish act of Anna Radosz?
> donate money
> help at an old folks home
> work a soup kitchen
> sponsor a child
> go to an abortion mill & help pray
> help the Pro-Life movement. Go to ProLifeUnity.com & see what you can do to help people live.
> pray for her son Oscar and her partner Daniel, but still do something to help others as well
Spread the word. Make May 18th Anna Radosz day every year.

German officials say initial tests show that sprouts from an organic farm in the country's north are not the cause of an E. coli outbreak that has left 22 people dead and infected more than 2,200 others.
Lower Saxony state's agriculture ministry said Monday that 23 of 40 samples taken from the suspected farm have tested negative for the bacteria. Except for one woman who died in Sweden after a visit to Germany, all of the fatalities have been within German borders.
Health authorities say the majority of those infected are in Germany. Eleven other European nations and the United States have reported 90 infected people, nearly all of whom have recently been in northern Germany.
European Union agriculture ministers will meet Tuesday in Luxembourg to discuss the crisis and its economic impact, which includes a ban by Russia on all vegetables from the EU. The ministers at the emergency meeting will discuss how to compensate farmers affected by the E. coli outbreak.
E. coli and how it is transmitted
E. coli is an abbreviation for Escherichia, which is a large and diverse group of bacteria. Most strains are harmless, others can cause illness. Symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. The major source is cattle, but other animals, foods and liquids may spread contamination to people.
German officials had initially blamed the cause of the outbreak on lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers from Spain.
The outbreak is the deadliest in modern history to involve E. coli, and appears to be the second- or third-largest in terms of the number of people who have become ill. Scientists say the bacteria is a previously unknown genetic recombination of two different E. coli strains.
Symptoms of E. coli infection include stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever and vomiting.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

Practical Short Hairstyle
This cut is thoroughly practical under all circumstances, but it also has a high fashion factor and thrills us with its flexible nature. Steep graduation in the neck meets longer, playful layers on top.
All that with an equally playful fringe and lots of strands ending in wispy tips that frame her face. Style it calm or wild, the cut allows it all. Being low maintenance does not have to mean without finesse!

To Jock, the time had been a rest from the victory which had cost him so dear, and though the wounds still smarted, there had been nothing to call them into action; and he had fortified himself against the inevitable reminders he should meet with in London. He had been studying with all his might for the preliminary examination, and eagerness in so congenial a pursuit was rapidly growing on him, while conversations with Mr. Ogilvie had been equally pleasant to both, for the ex-schoolmaster thoroughly enjoyed hearing of the scientific world, and the young man was heartily glad of the higher light he was able to shed on his studies, and for being shown how to prevent the spiritual world from being obscured by the physical, and to deal with the difficulties that his brother's materialism had raised for him. He had never lost, and trusted never to lose, hold of his anchor in the Rock; but he had not always known how to answer when called on to prove its existence and trace the cable. Thus the winter at St. Cradocke's had been very valuable to him personally, and he had been willing to make return for the kindness for which he felt so grateful, by letting the Vicar employ him in the night-schools, lectures, and parish diversions-all in short for which a genial and sensible young layman is invaluable, when he can be caught.
And for their mother herself, she had been sheltered from agitation, and had gathered strength and calmness, though with her habitual want of self-consciousness she hardly knew it, and what she thanked her old friend for was what he had done for her sons, especially Armine. "He and I shall be grateful to you all the rest of our lives," she said, with her bright eyes glistening.
David Ogilvie, in his deep, silent, life-long romance, felt that precious guerdons sometimes are won at an age which the young suppose to be past all feeling-guerdons the more precious and pure because unconnected with personal hopes or schemes. He still knew Caroline to be as entirely Joseph Brownlow's own as when he had first perceived it, ten years ago, but all that was regretful jealousy was gone. His idealisation of her had raised and moulded his life, and now that she had grown into the reality of that ideal, he was content with the sunshine she had brought, and the joy of having done her a real service, little as she guessed at the devoted homage that prompted it.

iPadding it: with Jobe, Kalib, Margie, Chicago, Jim and Pistol
I have been wanting an iPad since they first came out - mostly, because I want to see the capabilities for online magazine and e-photo-book publishing, but until now I have not been able to justify the expense. I justify it now because I had pretty much resigned myself to the idea that I was going to have to purchase a new computer that would cost many times as much as the iPad, but now that I don't have to, then an iPad seems a good investment.
Of course, the iPad comes with a built-in camera. The resolution is low and the quality less than the iPhone, but I love any camera I can get my hands on and I worry less about technical quality than if I can use it to capture a feeling in the picture.
So, all of today's images were taken with my new iPad.
I started out with Margie and me.
Jobe and me next. He and Kalib came yesterday afternoon and will be here through today, maybe into tomorrow. I'm not sure.
Kalib, eating peanut butter and jelly.
I went to bed about midnight and, as always, when these boys overnight, Kalib slept with me and Jobe with Margie in the guest room. I spent an hour reading, Miss New India, a book that I first heard about from an Alan Cheuse review on NPR and he convinced me that I must read it. It is the first book that I will have read on an e-reader - in this case, the iPad.
It was fun, because I did not have to turn any lights on and page turning was instantaneous. At first, I thought I preferred reading a paper book, but after I had been at it for awhile I began to change my mind. I wouldn't want to read a book on an iPad while soaking in the tub, though.
In the morning, when I woke up for good sometime after 7:00 AM, I found Kalib sleeping like this, and so picked up the iPad and shot.
The light was dim in the room. This would be approximately the equivalent of shooting at ISO 10,000 or so.
Chicago had slept on the other side of my head. Here she is.
Chicago and me, in the early hours.
My hand, before I get out of bed.
Me, still in bed. I have to wear that damn thing on my nose if I am to breathe and get any sleep at all. Looks likes its time for a haircut and beard trim again, especially since I will be heading back into the field shortly.
Jim was looking out the window.
Jim - as captured in the early morning with my iPad.
I went into the next room, which was even darker. Jobe woke up and came to greet me.
He was still tired, so he collapsed at his grandma's feet.
Soon, Jobe and I were out in the front room. Kalib slept on. Margie was coming to and would soon join us.
You did not see Pistol in the bedroom because he did not want to share the bed with Kalib, so he pouted and slept in the front room by himself.
Jobe scurries across the living room, carrying the two golf balls.
You can't see them, but this is only a second or so later, so he is still carrying the balls.
Now he is eating them.
Margie and Jobe, immediately after a diaper change.
Gramma and grandson.
Grandson and gramma.
Jobe gets down.
Jobe is ready to go. Gramma is not ready to let him go.
iPad still life: half a small cup of coffee. When Melanie and I went to India for Soundarya's wedding, Murthy gave me a set of small coffee cups. In India, they tend to keep their cups small. Drinking from a small cup helps me to not overdo it.
Plus, I like the cups.
Margie feeds Jobe some Oatmeal Squares.
iPad still life: Artificial flowers on the kitchen table, flanked by math.
But then, isn't math everywhere?
That's what my kindergarten teacher would always tell us, whenever we complained about the difficulty of the latest calculus quiz she had given us.
"Math is everywhere!" she would say. "Around and inside us - in the number of times a bird flaps its wings as it flies overhead - and how many times does your heart beat per minute... how many bites can you take out of a cookie... how many decibels in the croak of a frog...?
"It's all math, students," she would say. "Math is everywhere."
Jobe dumped the garbage on the floor, found the diaper his grandma had just taken off of him and gave it a toss. It took .9128999999999999999999 seconds for the diaper to plop onto the floor.
Sorry I can't be more precise than this. My math skills have been on the wane ever since I graduated from kindergarten and left behind the most brilliant mathematics teacher I ever had.
So ends my first experiment with iPad photography.

Clean out your closet and make money in the process by taking your clothes to consignment shops. For those clothes and accessories that are on-trend and in good condition, you can find local consignment shops or online consignment shops.Continue Reading
Consignment shops examine clothes, determine what is worth selling, and then the company either pays you a percentage up front or they pay you as your clothes sell in the store.
To increase the probability that stores are willing to buy your clothes, make sure your clothes are clean, wrinkle-free, stain-free, and they are not in need of repairs. Stores generally turn away clothes that are dirty or damaged in terms of condition.
Do keep in mind that when going through a consignment service, you only get a percentage of the resale value of the garment. This is simply the price you pay for the convenience of consigning. However, if you would rather make a little bit more money off of your clothes, especially those designer brand items, consider selling them through a service such as eBay or Craigslist. This allows you to deal upfront with the customer, and then you do not have to pay any percentage of your sell to a middle man.Learn more about Clothing

What causes lunar eclipses?
Whenever and where ever there is light there are shadows and this includes all heavenly bodies. Since the Sun is the
source of light all shadows are opposite the Sun in our solar system. If we cheat a little and assume that outer space
is gray and not completely black, we can see the Earth's and Moon's shadows.
A lunar eclipse is caused by the Moon passing through the Earth's shadow. Now, if you read the section above on the
phases of the Moon, you might think that a lunar eclipse would occur every time there was a Full Moon (since the Moon
is on the shadow side of the Earth during Full Moons). However, the orbits of the Earth around the Sun and the Moon
around the Earth are not on the same plane. If we assume that Earth's orbit around the Sun is horizontal, then the
Moon's orbit around the Earth would be tilted by about 5 degrees. From a spaceship flying along side the solar system
during a Full Moon, the two orbits would look something like this (the red line shows Earth's orbit
and the green line shows the Moon's orbit):
From a spaceship flying along side the solar system during a New Moon, the orbits would look
something like this:
OK. Now the problem is that we never get lunar eclipses. Fortunately, for those of us who like to see lunar
eclipses, the Moon rotates around the Earth faster than the Earth Rotates around the Sun. So there are times when
the Moon is directly behind the Earth (creating a Lunar eclipse) and other times when the Moon is
directly between the Earth and the Sun (creating a Solar eclipse). By the way, lunar eclipses occur
about twice a year!
The animation below shows the Moon rotating around the Earth while the Earth rotates around the Sun. Only when the
Earth is at points A or C can eclipses occur. At no other time is it possible for the
Moon to be directly behind the Earth or directly between the Earth and the Sun.
Simple enough. However, shadows have 2 parts: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the center and darkest part of
the shadow. While the penumbra is the outer and lighter part of the shadow (the penumbra is so light that we hardly
notice it on Earth). The parts of the Earth's shadow are shown below. The picture below also shows how to figure out
where the umbra and penumbra are (note the lines from the Sun).
Since lunar eclipses are caused by the Moon passing through the Earth's shadow and since there are 2 parts of a
shadow, there are 3 types of lunar eclipses:
A timelapse photo of the March 15, 2006 penumbral eclipse.
(Photo courtesy of Tricia Johnson).
The Moon doesn't completely disappear as it passes through the umbral part of the shadow because of the refraction of
sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere. In other words, the umbra is dark, but not completely black (you may have noticed
that your shadow is not completely black either). As a result the Moon will glow with a coppery-red hue. However,
since clouds and dust in the atmosphere block some of the light, the glow will vary from one eclipse to the next.
