Travelogue: Seattle, Washington: Pike Place, Capitol Hill + More
A few weeks ago, I had the honor and privilege of attending the School Library Journal Leadership Summit in Seattle, WA. It was an amazing weekend filled with sightseeing, learning and good times with friends old and new. I'm going to break up the experience with several posts.
I'll admit, this post doesn't have much to do with the SLJ Summit itself. I'd never been to Seattle before and my time was pretty limited, so I wanted to maximize my free time by seeing as much as possible. I was asked to write a post about what I did and where I went, so here it is.
I use Google maps to create custom maps every time I travel somewhere (I'll write a post on this at some point). After reading tons of articles, pins and a travel guide, I tried to narrow down my plans to a few areas that would be easy to get to on foot or by public transportation. I didn't make it to nearly as many places as I wanted, but I still got a good trip around the city.
Downtown & starting out
Since I was flying from the East coast, I scheduled my flight to get me to Seattle as early as possible. I started off my journey by taking the Link from the airport into downtown. It was cheap and a lot of fun, but I didn't realize just how brutal the hills are in Seattle. I was tired and sweaty by the time I finally made it to the hotel. The conference hotel was located across the street from the Seattle Public Library Central Branch, so naturally that was my first stop. This library is the most beautifully designed library I have ever seen. The architecture is stunning, and there is well designed patron-friendly signage throughout the space. I seriously could spend hours in this place, and my pictures don't do it justice.
Westlake & Seattle Center
After exploring the library, I headed over to the Westlake area for a little shopping. I'm a big fan of Timbuk2, so naturally I had to visit their store, since I've never been to a city that has one before. After visiting a couple of other shops, I took the monorail over to Seattle center. The monorail is cheap and super fun. It's one of the leftover relics from the 1962 World's Fair. When I got to Seattle Center, I took a few obligatory photos of the Space Needle, but didn't go up in it. It just seemed over priced and like it would take up too much time to me.
Instead, I went to the EMP museum, which was amazing. Where else can you see Kurt Cobain's cardigan, Jimi Hendrix's guitar, Princess Leia's leather bikini and a Dalek all in one place? It was nerd heaven.
Capitol Hill
My last stop of day 1 was the super hipster neighborhood of Capitol Hill. It was an easy fifteen minute walk from the hotel, and there was so much to see. Beautiful street art. Cool indie shops. The highlights of my visit included two amazing ice cream places, Bluebird Microcreamery & Brewery and Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream, where I got Marionberry ice cream and Honey lavender and balsamic strawberry, respectively. In between all that, I checked out Elliot Bay Book Store, which is an amazing independent bookstore. I also visited Everyday Music, a huge independent music store. By this point, the sun was starting to set, so I headed back downtown to meet up with Elissa Malespina and her family for dinner at BOKA, which was delicious.
Pike Place Part 1
On day 2, my body was still operating on EST, so I was wide awake and eager to get going at 4:30 in the morning. I decided to start the day off by visiting THE Starbucks at Pike Place Market. It's notoriously crowded, but when I showed up at 6:30am there were only two other people in line. I got a coffee and a Pike Place You Are Here mug – thank you Jennifer Lagarde for getting me hooked on these. I drank my coffee while exploring Pike Place Market in the pre-dawn drizzle. Then I got smoked salmon benedict over potatoes at Bacco Cafe.
South Lake Union
Since nothing but breakfast and coffee places seem to open before 9 or 10am in Seattle, I walked over to Westlake and took the South Lake Union Trolley over to South Lake Union. It was a nice ride (and again cheap) and it gave me a chance to see Amazon's main campus (now I wish that I had explored it more). Nothing at South Lake Union park was open, but the lake itself was beautiful, and I got some great pictures of the Canadian geese that were hanging out. Since nothing around here was open yet either, I walked over to Seattle Center, took the monorail back to Westlake, and walked back to Pike Place Market
Pike Place Part 2
Now that things were actually open, I could explore a bit more in Pike Place. I got coffee at Seattle Coffee Works first. Then I visited the Gum wall, which is strangely beautiful, although all the business cards people had stuck on annoyed me. I checked out Pike Place Fish Market, but was disappointed that they weren't throwing fish at the time. I got a beautiful scratch-off map of the United States to keep track of my travels at Metzger's Maps. I visited Left Bank Books, an anarchist bookstore, which was pretty awesome. By this point, I had to make it back to the hotel for the school tours.
Waterfront and Ferry
After the tours, I had a few hours to spare before the opening reception of the summit. I tried to get oyster happy hour at Elliot Bay Oyster House, but it was crazy crowded, so instead I went to Cafe 56, their cafe offshoot (which is apparently now closed?). The food was fantastic, and it was calm and quiet. After walking around the waterfront a bit, I took a ferry across Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island. The views were amazing and the ride across was peaceful. It did take a lot longer than I thought it would though, so next time I would allow myself some more time. Still, I got great pictures and had some time to get some writing done.
After that, the summit kicked into full gear and I didn't have any more time for sightseeing. Next time I have a list of places I want to visit: Belltown, Pioneer Square, International District, more museums and the Skyview Observatory, which is supposed to have better views than the Space Needle. By the way, I logged about 28,000 steps using my Jawbone UP on these two days. My legs were tired.

Have you been to Seattle before? What was your favorite place? Let me know in the comments 🙂
Heidi Doyle : October 19, 2015 at 12:59 pm
If you ever get back to Seattle you need to check out Gorgeous George's – a great restaurant run by a really cool guy. Glad you got to the gum wall! I didn't see that until my 3rd trip! Another great place to visit is the botanical gardens – they have a beautiful Japanese garden there that brings peace to the heart.

My brain was scrambling to confirm what to have in Itacho Sushi last week when the waitress magically swiped out another menu from god-knows-where and offered some special items.
Nothing really caught our interest until we came to flying fish sashimi! My adventurous persona immediately surfaced and before the others said anything, i blurted "let's try this"!
I have never seen a real flying fish in my whole life and it's ironic that for our first meet up, it's literally flying into my stomach! Honestly, I have to admit i felt a slight pang of guilt when it was served; the poor fish was literally deboned!
The sad part was that i didn't even enjoy eating it (its sacrifice was in vain...); maybe we didn't articulate to the waitress properly that we prefer the simple and slice sashimi. What was served tasted suspiciously similar to the raw fish salad sold in many porridge stalls in Singapore, mixed in with too much spring onions!
Key difference with the raw fish salad was of course the huge differential in price! And i might have felt better without the dead fish staring at me while i am slowly chewing its meat.
Sigh, I should have just shut my mouth and stick to our usual sushi.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) era came to a close in 2015. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) took over as the official UN development agenda in the beginning of this year, until the year 2030. Pakistan signed SDGs immediately after their launch. The fourth SDG underlines existing development priorities and critical issues in education. Goal 4 states that the UN and its partner countries will "Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning". MDG for education targeted access and retention at the primary level. SDG 4 is cognizant of development issues at the primary, middle, secondary and tertiary level of education. Moreover, SDGs include broader themes in education which were not a part of the MDGs like learning, skills, policy, school environment,.
During the MDG era, Pakistan was off-track for 24 of the 41 indicators (ASER). To track the progress on targets, a robust monitoring system is required. Data is a crucial part of this monitoring system, since monitoring is not possible without access to reliable data. Analysing the availability of data for newly designed indicators of SDGs, Alif Ailaan identified data availability for 10 out of 50 quantitative indicators. These statistics indicate the challenging task that policy makers are currently facing, with expectation to put more resources and efforts into collecting data on newly set indicators.
This implies that statistical departments of any country are responsible for development of effective monitoring frameworks for these targets. For use across UN participating countries, the Secretary General developed a framework on SDG indicators this year (GEMR 2016; United Nations 2014b). Later on, an Inter-Agency and Expert Group (IAEG) was also established in March, to develop and finalize indicators for Sustainable Development Goals.
The Technical Advisory Group on Post-2015 education indicators(established by the UNESCO) proposed 43 new education indicators as a part of its recommendations. UNESCO changed the status of group, from Technical Advisory Group to Technical Cooperation Group, for progress on the development and implementation of indicator framework.
SDG 4 Data Readiness in Pakistan
In the case of Pakistan and its capacity to monitor and track education indicators, data exists for 10 out of 50 quantitative indicators. Alif Ailaan recently reported that there are 18 indicators for which data is collected but not represented (and consequently, not accessible). A significant number of indicators (i.e. 22) are such that data is neither collected nor presented for them. This emphasizes the need for special efforts to ensure data availability, so that SDG targets for education can be adequately monitored.
SDG Target 4.1 focuses on equitable and quality primary and secondary education. Out of 7 indicators under the 4 themes of learning, completion, participation and provision at the primary and secondary level of education, Pakistan has data for learning indicators and out-of-school rate. Data is either completely absent or available in a raw form for all remaining indicators. A similar case can be made for target 4.2; it emphasizes on access to early childhood development, care and pre-primary education. Data is available for one indicator i.e. Gross Pre-primary Enrolment. Data on all other indicators (for judging school readiness) remains to be collected.
Target 4.3 calls for equitable and affordable tertiary, vocational and technical education. Raw data is present for Gross Enrolment Ratio for in the types of education listed above. However, indicator values remain to be calculated. Participation Rate of the youth and adults in formal and non-formal education, unfortunately has no data in Pakistan.
Target 4.4 aims to equip adults & youth with technical and vocational skills necessary for employment. In Pakistan, no data exists for any of these indicators.
For all indicators of target 4.7(knowledge and skills required to promote sustainable development), there is currently no data framework in Pakistan to check for the extent awareness and attempts currently underway. From indicators of target 4.a that explains the education facilities, Academy of Educational Planning and Management (AEPAM) collects data for availability of drinking water, sanitation and electricity in schools. There is no data and information on other indicators.
Under the first theme of target 4.b i.e. provision of scholarships and volume of Official Development Assistance (ODA), raw data is available at Higher Education Commission and values for these indicators can be calculated. AEPAM has raw data for qualified teachers but distribution of these qualified teachers by level of education need to be calculated.
Raw data for target 4.c can be obtained from AEPAM and provincial teaching staff departments to calculate percentage of trained teachers and teachers receiving in-service training. There exists no data for other indicators.
Data for adequate monitoring of SDGs on education is a daunting task for Pakistan. Definitely, to collect data, more resources are required. It is the responsibility of the government to streamline resources to strengthen the existing data regime of Pakistan.

ANC Secretary General distance himself from Botswana Gazzette media report about BNF
29 August 2012
The African National Congress, Secretary General, Cde Gwede Mantashe, distance himself from the media report by Botswana Gazzette, published today 29th August 2012, titled, "South Africa`s ruling African National Congress (ANC) has disowned the Botswana National Front (BNF)".
The report as contained in this newspaper is fallacious and a skewed reflection of the ANC`s position with regard to the Botswana National Front (BNF). The ANC has long standing relations with the BNF, cemented by many years of our common struggle for freedom. Some founding members of the BNF were members of the ANC and fought many battles side-by-side with the ANC.
However, the ANC has raised with the BNF the need to engage more formally. This will include avoiding meeting by accident and engaging in a systematic way.

Gwede Mantashe

*This post was sponsored by various establishments mentioned below, as always, all opinions remain my own.
Thing have been pretty quiet on my end for the last month or so but I was able to escape to Flagstaff Arizona a couple weekends ago & I have been excited to share the experience with y'all. Flagstaff has quickly taken a huge spot in my heart, it has that old, small town feel without running out of things to keep you busy and hip establishments to pass away time in.
The town was never on my radar until I did a quick search to see what cities would be in driving proximity from Utah, I knew I needed to take on another solo road trip and didn't care where I ended up, so once the idea of Flagstaff came up I started looking into what the city had to offer.
I don't have suggestions on where to stay simply because this should depend on the type of getaway you are looking for, it is the perfect town to set up camp, book an airbnb, motel or throw down some cash on a nicer chain hotel. I think that is part of the charm, it hits the needs for those looking for an outdoor adventure as well as those wanting to hit the town. Whether you are a regular outdoorsman or a total city goer, here are your must stops in Flagstaff.
Where to Eat
123 S San Francisco St #5
Heather, owner is absolutely amazing, this tea shop is her passion and that shows in the quality of her tea. She spent years as a cook/baker and offers the most wonderful selection of muffins, truffles and other goodies made fresh by her for the shop. The environment is so inviting with a fireplace and community coloring book, I could've sipped on my chai and enjoyed the atmosphere all day. Tucked off a main street it feels like your own secret find. I plan to hit up Flagstaff Tea Company very first when I make my way back to the city.
2320 N Fourth St.
Now THIS is the place to go for some real good BBQ, the ultimate soul food. The hyped environment simply promotes a good time. I am not generally someone who wants a heavy meal while I am on vacation but I would take a plate from Satchmo's any day. I was able to taste their BBQ pulled pork as well as this gorgeous jambalaya shown below and I am convinced there is nothing less than superior on this menu.
120 N Leroux St
I'm pretty sure I needed an extra day in Flagstaff just to taste more selections on their menu. I went for breakfast and had the best omelet of my life with an intensely fresh cup of fruit. The sweeter side of their menu looks delish, their lunch and dinner menu looks delish, their cafe menu looks delish & their atmosphere is so hip and bright.
What to do
1400 W Mars Hill Rd
This little gem cannot go un-seen. And "little" was certainly not the right adjective to describe this place. I have never visited an observatory with so much space, and so many buildings with different telescopes. The history is rich and the employees are so passionate about their work, you could strike up a genuine conversation about the observatory with any of them. I could've spent the entire night there, I saw more stars in the sky than I have in years.
Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course & Ziplines
Fort Tuthill County Park
This was the most zipline course I have ever done in my life. After thorough training, you are able to go through the course at your own pace. Anyone who loves the thrill of a good outdoor adventure absolutely cannot miss a day making their way through this course. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, so even for those a little weary, there won't be a moment that you don't feel 100% secure. There aren't a lot of activities that give me a total adrenaline rush, but this did it for me, that feeling is priceless.
120 N Leroux St
That's right, same address as the MIX that I covered above. Old town shops is a handful of independently owned shops as well as a few rad restaurants and a super bomb, old town feel atmosphere. I am always an advocate for visiting historic downtown in any city you hit and Flagstaff was no exception. It had the most beautiful feel and Old Town Shops is the perfect addition to the city. It was cozy enough to keep that historic feel but with a broad range of shops from outdoorsy to edgy to fashion forward it hits all your shopping needs.
Who's ready to pack up and make their way to Flagstaff? I am thinking it deserves a second appearance on Modern Wanderer in 2018!

It is considered as a material with great strength as well as aesthetically perfect.
Any fix prosthesis, either bridges or crowns, composed by zirconium achieves and unbeatable aesthetic without taking into account the resistance of the material.
Zirconium substitutes metal, in can be a good option for patients that are suffer from metal allergy as well as for those who prefer a fitted aesthetic look.
It is biocompatible, zirconium has a similar hardness to diamond besides it's white. This converts it in a material with multiple functional and aesthetics properties for dentistry purposes.
At present, certainly it's the best material in terms of aesthetics possible for reconstructions wherein the past we would have need metallic components that reduce aesthetics.

Opening the door onto my terrace this morning, I was greeted with more pitahaya flowers glowing in the morning light. In the background, rain drops glistened on unripened fruit, as their dry spent flowers continued to cling to the fruit of their late night labor.Behind the chain link fence, one of my ripe Dragon Fruit is so close and yet so far.However, there is more to come; blossoms preparing to burst open — for just one night.From tenacious roots and branches of my previous post to fleeting flowers to long ripening fruit; such is the life of the pitahaya.

One of the apartments in this higgledy piggledy complex is being readied for a new occupant. Opening the door to begin the job, Luci was greeted with an unexpected wall hanging.She ran upstairs, laughing and calling me to come down and see what she had discovered. Hmmm… Rapunzel's tresses? If so, like everyone else suffering Oaxaca's hard water, she needs to start using a good hair-conditioner.
Of course, closer inspection revealed it to be the roots of something. A tree, perhaps? But, there are no trees in the vicinity and, in reality, it seemed to be coming from my terrace. I dashed upstairs, as Luci came outside to stand and point to where the fibrous cascade seemed to be coming from. Yikes, on the west wall, the culprit was exposed; the roots of one of my pitahaya had grown into the concrete!!!
Alas, the pitahaya's tenacity could not be allowed to continue; the garden shears came out and the problem was nipped at its root. The same was done below, leaving golden tresses lying on the ground waiting to be swept away.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Late last night, twelve buds on my pitahaya burst open; my favorite the cluster of four at the top of the eight foot tall chain link fence.
Alas, now, less than twenty hours after their night-blooming show began, they are no more. Hopefully, the brilliant white flowers with their sweet scent attracted the desired pollinators, Dragon Fruit will begin forming at the base of the blossoms, the fruit will ripen to a blush red, and be ready to pick in 45 days (más o menos).

Remember the night my Pitahaya (aka, Dragon fruit) blossom was ready for her close-up? Three months later, here she is…
Though there is fruit, flowers continue to put on their bloomin' after-dark show.
Their beauty never ceases to enchant.

Several mornings ago, after a day and night of rain, I went out on the terrace to check on the garden and found…
Yikes, one of my Pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus – aka, Dragon fruit) had bloomed overnight! Must be a relative of my other Night Blooming Cereus.
Two years ago, the original cuttings had been laying in the campo of a friend in San Martín Tilcajete. When Chris (Oaxaca-The Year After) asked if we could have some, the answer was, "¡Por supuesto!" Loving the wall of Pitahaya at Centro Académico y Cultural San Pablo, six months later, with the original five cuttings becoming fifteen, I could use them to begin to screen the chain link fence at the new Casita Colibrí. I kept pruning and sticking them in the planter boxes.
And now, they have begun blooming. Having missed the "night-blooming" of my first flower, I was determined not to miss the unfolding of the second blossom, seen above near the top of the pole, providing the weather cooperated. It did!
By the next day, it had closed, never to reopen again.
However, there will be fruit…

Well, the cactus isn't really a killer (at least, I don't think it is) and I wasn't really minding my own business — I was weeding in the vicinity of said cactus, which I think is an Austrocylindropuntia subulata ssp. exaltata. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time this particular cactus and I had had a run in.
Four years ago, concentrating on weeding around another plant, I momentarily forgot about the danger lurking in the neighboring pot and got stabbed in the upper arm. After more than momentary disbelief, I gathered my wits and called on my friend, neighbor, and fellow gardener G for help. He managed to pull the spine out with only a moderate amount of pain, cleansed the puncture site with alcohol (the rubbing kind), gave me alcohol (the drinking kind), and I was good to go.
After that encounter, I showed the Austrocylindropuntia the respect it so rightly deserves. I also admit to having had thoughts of abandoning it on my old apartment's terrace when I moved last year. However, I was convinced by my moving crew that it should join the rest of my garden on the new big terraza. Though why they wanted to risk its espinas peligrosas, I don't know. However, I do know, I would have much preferred bringing my beautiful Agave Americana to my new home, but they said it was too big and had to stay put.
That brings me to yesterday's unfortunate incident. I remember thinking, as I reached in to pull a couple of weeds in the Austrocylindropuntia's pot, "Go get the long garden tweezers." But I didn't, and got stabbed on the back of my right hand (between the knuckles of my index and middle finger) for the trouble. How stupid could I be??? Stunned, I again turned to neighbors — this time, David and Marilyn from Alaska. It was decided I needed professional help, so off to Hospital Molina we walked, me with a four-inch cactus spine sticking out of the top of my hand.
The doctor took me into an exam room immediately. He asked the important questions: "Name? Age? Address? Allergies? Where is the offending cactus located? Do you use pesticides in your garden?" I asked the question that was foremost on my mind, "Aren't you going to use lidocaine?" "No," he calmly replied. He then directed me to relax and look toward the window. He had such reassuring manner, I actually did as I was told. He gently felt around the protruding spine and then it was out — and, miracle of miracles, I didn't feel a thing! He, too, cleansed the wound with alcohol, wrote prescriptions for an antibiotic and a mild pain reliever, told me to apply hot compresses twice a day, and collected 300 pesos ($23.00 US) for the visit. I collected my ever-so-kind neighbors and we went on our way. The phrase, "Do you have insurance?" was never uttered and I was not required to fill out ANY forms!
It's thirty hours later and I am alive and well. Antibiotic is being taken every six hours, my hand is only slightly swollen, and there is only a little pain. I'm good to go. And I'm thinking, it's time for the Austrocylindropuntia subulata ssp. exaltata to go. No use tempting fate a third time!

Friday, I went Teotitlán del Valle to visit a friend. N is living out in the campo and it was an adventure just getting there — necessitating a colectivo, bus, moto-taxi, and a fair amount of walking. However, it was well worth it! The conversation was non-stop, comida was delicious, and the setting is spectacular.
However, a major topic of conversation in the village is the lack of rain. Granted, I was grateful the creek the 3-wheel moto-taxi and I had to ford only had about six inches of water in it, but looking out from N's terrace, it was evident the fields are suffering.
Acres upon acres of parched earth, with rows upon rows of drooping and stunted corn — the lifeblood of this country. When the campo suffers, so too the people.
Word has it that this is the driest rainy season anyone can remember. In a normal year, afternoon showers irrigate the fields and clean the city's streets at least four to five times a week from June through September. This year, nada! I can probably count on two hands the number of times it's rained. Your offerings and prayers to Cocijo would be much appreciated!
Update: Wow, I have some powerful blog readers — it rained last night!!! Mil gracias.

In an interconnected age, consumers are more educated and aware of today's issues. The Internet and social media make it easy for news and information to proliferate and reach everyone. As a consequence, some consumers expect brands to "give back" and reinvest their money into society.
In this regard, footwear brands can define a strategy and think about how they can help the world. They can start using more eco-friendly materials, create and support social events, help non-profit associations and promote transparency over their manufacturing processes.
Brand Veja purchases its organic cotton from farmers who live in poor regions of Brazil, ensuring they receive a fair value for their product, and TOMS brand gives back to society a pair of shoes each time a consumer buys a pair for himself. An initiative that makes the consumer feel good to be an active member of society. These are just two examples of companies valuing the impact their products and their businesses have in the surrounding communities.
Establishing Partnerships
Sponsoring products with known athletes or artists is something companies like Nike and Puma have been doing for a long time. But partnerships with artists, famous personalities, and charity organizations represent interesting opportunities for brand growth.
Recently, adidas associated itself with Kanye West to create a line of products, that were co-produced between the athletic brand and the rapper. The idea is to use the artist creativity to create high-end footwear, accessories, and apparel. Knowing Kanye West uses adidas is very different from knowing Kanye West had a hand in the design of an adidas product. It's a great way to reach out to all the rap lovers, specially his fans, and increase adidas brand value among them, and that was adidas' understanding.
Footwear companies can and should also try to establish partnerships. Especially those who focus on offering high-value products with high differentiation. Even smaller brands can take advantage of a partnership with local charities, events or bloggers. The associaton with a big causes can create a positive impact on consumers.

Lacey Chabert is the latest actress to strip down for the pages of Maxim.
The 31-year-old "Mean Girls" star poses in just her bra and undies for the November cover, and inside the magazine she opens up about why she's hasn't fallen apart like some of her former co-stars have.
"Look, life is tough, and growing up in this business is especially tough. So I really can't take any credit other than saying I grew up in a really protective family," she explained. "Also, I want a long-lasting career, so you're not gonna find me doing anything scandalous any time soon."
We may not find her doing anything scandalous, but that's because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Chabert admits, that while she's a "nice girl next door," she loves "a good weekend in Vegas," complete with "Blackjack, roulette, four-card poker, slots ... all of it," she told Maxim.
The actress also opened up to the magazine about her very memorable "Mean Girls" character -- a role, which nearly a decade later remains the one Chabert is most closely associated with.
"People tweet me all the time, 'Are you still trying to make fetch happen?' I never thought people would still be quoting 'Mean Girls' 10 years later,' she said.

Rapid7, the leading provider of security risk intelligence solutions, today announced that Nexpose, the Company's award-winning vulnerability management product, now has expanded Federal certifications to better protect government infrastructure against cyber espionage, targeted attacks, and internal and external threats. In addition to receiving CyberScope certification, Rapid7 Nexpose is one of the first products worldwide to receive United States Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB) Certification, as well as the first vulnerability management product to achieve the Common Criteria Certification for Evaluation Assurance level Augmented (EAL3+). Nexpose allows Federal agencies and government contractors to confidently assess the security posture of IT systems and meet FISMA requirements with a single solution.
"Government agencies are on high alert for attacks from sophisticated attackers, hactivists and malicious insiders," said Richard Perkett, vice president of engineering, Rapid7. "With the recent USGCB, CyberScope and Common Criteria certifications of Rapid7's Nexpose solution, federal agencies can identify exploitable vulnerabilities while reducing time and costs associated with achieving FISMA compliance. Rapid7's commitment to product innovation is highlighted by Nexpose's achievement of receiving one of the first USGCB certifications in the industry and the highest EAL ranking in the vulnerability management industry."
Nexpose Federal Edition enables federal agencies and government contractors to verify USGCB baseline configurations for desktop and laptop computers. This meets the mandates from the Federal CIO Council's Technology Information Subcommittee (TIS) at the direction of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). USGCB is an evolution of the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) by the TIS of the CIO Council Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC). USGCB is designed to provide proper configuration baselines for various platforms, including Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 7 Firewall, Windows Vista, Windows Vista Firewall, Windows XP, Windows XP Firewall, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8. With NIST-certified Nexpose, users have a single solution that can automatically scan government IT environments of any size for USGCB and FDCC configuration baseline checks, compliance and vulnerabilties. The solution delivers unified reporting and risk assessment capabilities that result in significant cost and time savings compared to using multiple tools.
As a certified CyberScope solution, Nexpose creates automated security reports and helps agencies to conform to their monthly reporting requirements of key security metrics through the CyberScope application. CyberScope is a web-based application mandated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide secure and efficient FISMA reporting for federal agencies. Nexpose enables Federal agencies to submit comprehensive security reports to the CyberScope application, which is required on a monthly basis, helping users meet FISMA requirements.
Nexpose has also received Common Criteria certification for EAL 3+, the highest ranking for any vulnerability management solution to date, allowing federal agencies to confidently purchase the product based on its stringent certification process and rating. Common Criteria is an international standard for computer security ceritifcation, which verifies that a product meets independent security assurance requirements. Twenty-six countries now recognize the Common Criteria (also published as ISO/IEC 15408 and ISO/IEC 18045 international standards) as the official third-party evaluation criteria and methodology for IT security products. In addition, Common Criteria Certification is looked upon favorably and sometimes required by the U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
Rapid7's Nexpose Federal Edition helps federal agencies and contractors conduct complete security assessments for continuous monitoring, automate vulnerability assessment, configuration assessment and asset discovery, and create CyberScope reports that allows federal agencies to easily submit monthly security metrics in CyberScope XML format to meet FISMA requirements. Nexpose's CyberScope reports include details on misconfigurations based on federal configuration checklists such as FDCC and USGCB. To find out how Nexpose Federal Edition can enable Federal agencies and contractors to meet FISMA compliance regulations and create accurate CyberScope reports go to http://www.rapid7.com/solutions/compliance/fisma.jsp
Rapid7 security analytics software and services reduce threat exposure and detect compromise for 3,000 organizations across 78 countries, including over 250 of the Fortune 1000. We understand the attacker better than anyone and build that insight into our solutions to improve risk management and stop threats faster. We offer advanced capabilities for vulnerability management, penetration testing, controls assessment, incident detection and investigation across your assets and users for virtual, mobile, private and public cloud networks.

GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took to the Senate floor to respond to the United States Supreme Court's King v. Burwell decision, telling the justices to leave the courtroom and run for office if they wish to create laws.
"Our government was designed to be one of laws, not of men," Cruz said.
He said the ruling is "disgraceful," adding that the justices aren't being umpires, but rather are playing for a team. Cruz stated:
They have joined a team, and it is a team that is hurting Americans across this country. Obamacare is the biggest job killer in America. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, have been forced into part-time work, have lost their health insurance, have lost their doctors. Millions of Americans have seen their health insurance premiums skyrocket, and it is a direct result of President Obama, of Democrats in the United States Congress, and of lawless judges at the United States Supreme Court who have joined the team of the Obama administration.
"If those justices want to become legislators, I invite them to resign and run for office. That's the appropriate place to write laws: on this floor, not from that courtroom," challenged Cruz.
He said the Court put a stamp of approval on the IRS's unlawful reading of a statute that makes subsidies and taxes available for national exchange, which is against what Congress provided.
"Jonathan Gruber famously said Obamacare was built on exploiting the stupidity of the American people. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is now complicit in that deception," charged Cruz.
He said after the ruling, Obamacare is now imposing illegal taxes on roughly 11 million illegal immigrants, "Burdening hundreds of thousands of businesses with illegal penalties on their workers, killing jobs, and further slowing economic growth." Cruz added:
If you're a young person right now, you come out of school, you got student loans up to your eyeballs, you're struggling, you don't know if you're going to get a job, the dismal Obama economy means your future is bleak. You have no hope or optimism about actually beginning a career, getting skills, moving towards the American dream. Well today, the United States Supreme Court has joined arm-in-arm with President Obama, and the IRS has illegally imposed taxes on you.
He said he remains committed to repealing Obamacare and that following the 2016 election, the 2017 chamber will return to repeal every single word of the health care law.
"We'll bring back economic growth. We'll bring back opportunity. And then we'll pass commonsense health care reform that makes health insurance personal and portable and affordable, that keeps government from getting between us and our doctors," he said.
Cruz said he recognizes that this "horrible experiment has failed."
"And when millions of Americans lose their jobs, are forced into part-time work, lose their health care, lose their doctors, when millions of Americans see their premiums skyrocket, it's incumbent on members of this body, it's incumbent on the federal government to fix the wreckage they caused, to fix the wreckage that the Supreme Court has now embraced lawlessly."

Re: Malcolm McLean
In reply to:
Re: Malcolm McLean
Thank you so very much, Michael, for helping me with information about Malcolm.I had read on Footnote.com, but somehow I guess I missed it.I most assuredly will go back and read all of it.I, so, wish that Uncle Jim had lived to be able to read about his son, but like I said he died in 1966.Guess it was meant for me to find the information.
A person, on Ancestry.com., gave Malcolm's death date as 1943.Is that probably the right one and the one where he is supposedly buried is after they found the accident and used that date?
In time, I may order Malcolm's IDPF to see what is in it.
Again, thanks so much.
It is such a good feeling to have people who care and will help with things like this.My thanks to all of you out there who have helped with this.My mother used to say "what goes around will come aroun" and I take that to mean that in my helping others, I am being helped now.

She has also choreographed and performed on the TV shows Strictly Come Dancing, So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With The Stars and most recentlyJazz/Tap coach on ITV's Dancing On Ice.

He started at the age of nine and with bugg as his main style. One year later he took his first basic six count step in Boogie Woogie and has since then never stopped.
At the age of 16 he made his first visit to Herräng Dance Camp in Sweden and fell in love with the African American social dances of the swing era such as Lindy hop, Vernacular Jazz, Charleston and Tap. He has since then tried to inspire and learn everything that he can and develop his skill of dancing, music and teaching. He wants to pass on this knowledge to people all over the world. He is a strong believer of the freedom and the authentic style of the dance and the connection you create with your partner and the music.
He sees swing dancing as a way to bring people together and bring happiness in to their life. Because when he dances that's is all he can think about and express. Pure happiness!

Product Description
Another suggestion is to get a pair of child pink UGG boots in winter and throw on your favored concert-tee and faded-denim stretch jeans. Then grab some 80′ s styled make-up as the finishing touch: eye shadow in frosted blues and a hint of lip reduction in sparkly pink! At the final, full this retro look with a couple of adornments like skinny silicone wristbands, an animal-print bandana or some leather cuff wristbands.
You might offer you a silicone wristbands to your customers. Get your business's brand shade(s), name and hyperlink on the band if you pick. Children will love this thought as nicely as teenagers. Mothers and fathers may possibly wear the bands as well. Have you ever noticed when you put on 1 of these bands individuals request you what it says? This is a wonderful way to get your name out to the public. You can choose to promote the bands or give a free of charge band with each acquire. The more your identify is out there, the more individuals will know about you and the more sales you will make.
Some favors can be costly and minimize into the spending budget. But that's what helps make custom silicone wristbands such a life saver! The perfect remedy as lower as .09 cents each and every proper at your fingertips. Conserve time, cash and sanity!!! Go on the web, customize your purchase, and unwind realizing you've finished the process of obtaining that perfect favor that meets the price range!
Make certain to go at your own tempo. Don't attempt to catch up at someone in front of you. This will mess up your pacing, leave you more exhausted for the rest of the race. Also, you may possibly possibly get in a person else's way, and could injure oneself in the process. Don't consider to sprint previous a person just to be ahead of them. Most races are charity occasions anyway, and not for competition functions. Every person is there for the same result in and is just trying to compete against themselves to finish the race.

Inappropriate parental expectations of age-appropriate behaviors and unawareness of developmental milestones can increase instances of child maltreatment. Additionally, experiences of child maltreatment can have a negative impact on the developmental trajectory of a child. The present research describes a parental aide, the tDevelop, delivered to parents at risk for child maltreatment through SafeCare Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) training with the aim of increasing identification of developmental milestones and age-appropriate activities. Two high-risk families with children close to 24-months of age were recruited from a residential program for young mothers working to develop self-sufficiency skills. The families were presented with the tDevelop along with traditional PCI information, including Planned Activities Training and age-appropriate activities. Data from a multiple-probe, single-case experimental design, suggest that mothers are able to recognize developmental milestones with increased accuracy upon intervention with the tDevelop.

Photo exhibition helps bring Vietnam, India closer
Tuesday, 2017-09-05 11:52:38
NDO/VNA – Over 100 photos capturing the land and people of Vietnam are on display at an exhibition at the Punjab Kala Bhavan art gallery in India's Punjab state.
The display, on show from September 3-5, is being held by the Vietnamese Embassy in India and Punjab's Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs to mark the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and India.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Vietnamese vice Ambassador to India Nguyen Le Thanh highlighted the ancient cultural ties between the two countries, saying that the bilateral relations have developed well and India has proven itself a trustworthy partner of Vietnam.
The exhibition takes place with the two countries celebrating their one-year comprehensive strategic partnership, which was elevated in September 2016 during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Vietnam, and the 10th anniversary of their strategic partnership.
Thanh expressed her hope that the exhibition will help international friends, particularly those in Chandigarh city of India, understand more about Vietnam and its people, while bringing the two countries closer together.
She revealed that Vietnam's VietJet Air is expected to launch a direct route to India's Delhi city by the end of this year, aiming to strengthen connectivity between the two countries.
On September 3, the Vietnamese Embassy also opened a pavilion displaying 100 Vietnamese dolls at the International Dolls Museum in Chandigarh city.

Yahoo and CNBC form content partnership
Yahoo Inc(YHOO.O) and CNBC have formed a content sharing partnership, the companies said on Wednesday.
As part of the deal, CNBC will provide stories and videos that will be featured on Yahoo Finance pages. Yahoo and CNBC will co-create original videos that will appear on Yahoo, CNBC.com and mobile devices and will be promoted on the cable channel.
"This partnership is a key step forward in Yahoo's strategy to become a premium media network," said Robertson Barrett, vice president of news and finance at Yahoo.
Yahoo Finance is one of the most visited business destinations on the Internet and CNBC is the dominant business news cable channel.
Yahoo is no stranger to striking alliances with media companies and this partnership furthers its ambitions to become one of the top destinations for news and entertainment. For instance, it has a deal with Walt Disney Co's (DIS.N) ABC News to use its content and jointly produce journalism projects.
The alliance with CNBC is a way to extend both Yahoo's and CNBC's audiences across the Internet and entice advertisers to pay premium prices. CNBC and Yahoo Finance have a combined unduplicated online audience of more than 40 million people, according to comScore data.
"We have really high quality audiences and we have great content," said Kevin Krim, general manager of CNBC Digital.
Neither Krim nor Barrett would go into the terms of the multi-year deal but they said it included a share in revenue from advertising.
Yahoo and CNBC said they will maintain their relationships with other media companies. Yahoo, for instance, has partnerships with Reuters, the Associated Press and Dow Jones.
Comcast Corp (CMCSA.O) controls CNBC.

- Hello Ethan,
When we landed back home in India. We had a marvelous stay in Burma. We certainly gained an insight into Burmar through the great guides that accompanied us to Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake and Yangon. Their knowledge and thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated. One guide in particular Bo Bo who showed us around Yangon on our last two days in Burma was outstanding. His command of English, enthusiasm, flexibility and willingness to make sure that we saw what we wanted is to be commended.
I do hope that we are able to visit your country again in the near future.
Nice day to you

Head of the joint mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and United Nations Special Coordinator Sigrid Kaag recently said the Syrian Government is cooperating fully towards the destruction of its chemical weapons program.
"To date, the Government of Syria has fully cooperated in supporting the work of the advance team and the OPCW-UN Joint Mission," Kaag said on Tuesday from Damascus.
The OPCW-UN investigatory team has conducted inspections at 17 sites. Fourteen of the sites have already made their chemical weapons production equipment facilities inoperable.
The Technical Secretariat remains involved, assisting Syria in disabling its chemical weapons production plants.
While taking part in the destruction of Syria's chemical weapon program, the U.N. has not lost sight of the conflict in Syria. The U.N. Refugee Agency has helped bring relief to approximately 2,500 refugees.
It is believed that thousands of Syrian people are still trapped in Mouadamiya and in other difficult-to-reach cities across Syria. The UNHCR is attempting to reach these people before the winter weather sets in.
"UNHCR observed that many of the displaced are living in buildings that lack windows, doors and electricity," UNCHR Spokesperson Adrian Edwards said. "People in this area will soon urgently require thermal blankets and plastic sheets to deal with winter temperatures."

PLAINVILLE — Five years ago, Ed, a burly, 35-year-old New Britain resident, seemed to have hit bottom. He was homeless and addicted to drugs. That is when he received crushing news: He was HIV-positive.
After attempting suicide several times, Ed, who requested his last name not be published, ended up at the doorstep of the new St. Philip House, a Plainville nonprofit group formed in 1990 to help people infected with HIV, the AIDS virus, or people who have come down with AIDS.
