Few things in life can be as good a leveler as a visa application. Sometimes, the USA gives you a ten year visa without a sweat, other times even Bolivia does not grant you one.
Yes, the Bolivian consulate in Rio De Janeiro did not give me a visa.
Partially, it has to do with the fact that I took this visa for granted. I had visited Bolivia in the year 2010 and that time had got the visa from the consulate in Salta, Argentina. It was quite an elaborate process which needed me to hand over my passport to the lady at the counter. And after a long wait of exactly one minute, I had a 30 day visa stamp on my passport. Just like that. No questions asked.
So on a rainy afternoon in December 2015, I reached the Bolivian consulate in Rio De Janeiro. To my shock, I was asked to go back home and fill a form online, get a legal acknowledgement that I had the economic means to support myself in Bolivia.
My flight to Bolivia was just three days away. And now things looked quite serious.
Despite, miraculously obtaining a legal acknowledgment of my financial means in Brazil( I was an Indian on a tourist visa in Brazil), I still did not manage to get the visa. Now they showed me that my Bolivian friend's letter of invitation also had to be notarised in Bolivia.
Its easy to get angry about the consulate acting so anal about documents. But I have to agree that my research and preparation lacked for this visa. So I had to re-learn the lesson that everything changes, and it is better to err on the side of safety.
To ensure that none of you have to go through this pain and frustration, let me list down the exact process for procuring a Bolivian visa.
Step One: Find Out Your Country Group
No, this has nothing to do with the football world cup or any other sporting event. If you are planning to visit Bolivia, look up what group does the Bolivian ministry of external affairs places your country in. Because that determines the requirements, the process and even the fees for the visa.
Here are the links on the Bolivian ministry of external affairs website:
If your country is Group I, breathe easy. You can just arrive in Bolivia with a passport that is valid for six more months and a ticket flying out and get 30 to 90 days visa on arrival for free. Great, isn't it? Though I would also suggest that you have hotel/hostel bookings on you. Some immigration officers may demand to see those as well. Though, I do know that most travelers from these countries find it easy to get into Bolivia only with their passport.
Group II? Like me, if your country is placed in Group II, then you can still get visa on arrival. But, the catch is that you surely need to have the documents and will have to pay a visa fee. However, if you apply for a visa before arriving in Bolivia(which is recommended), you can get it free of cost. And the saving is quite substantial.
Group III? Don't even think about arriving without the visa before hand. You will for sure be asked to take the next flight out of Bolivia. Not the best experience on a vacation right? I agree.
Step Two: Fill The Form And Collect Documents
Even if you are Group II and not III, it is recommended that you apply for visa before hand saving you any hassle at the immigration and also saving you some dollars in visa on arrival fees.
Documents/ Requirements:
Sworn Statement for Visa Application, obtained from the websites of the General Directorate of Migration, the General Directorate of Consular Affairs or Consular Offices where the visa is requested: (You need to fill this completely online and ensure no details are left out. At the consulate in Rio, I was turned back a second time because I gave one emergency contact instead of two, though the form compulsorily asked only for one).
Passport with at least six months validity
Yellow fever vaccination certificate(if you are planning to visit yellow fever prone areas)
Recent 2″ x 2″ passport type photograph(preferably with red background)
Proof of payment of visa fees(this is not required for Group II countries while applying for visa at consulates. For Group III, you may have to check with your respective consulate).
Travel itinerary, letter of invitation from someone with legal domicile in Bolivia or booking accommodation(Keep into and onward flight tickets from Bolivia ready. Make booking.com type reservations which you can cancel later in case your plans change.
Tip: even if you have a host in Bolivia, leave them out of this because they need to give you a notarised domicile letter which is a waste of their time. Bookings are easier.)
Financial solvency accredited by affidavit or other documentation:(Now here is the interesting requirement. It is not enough to just give your bank statement or credit card statement. You need to get it notarised.)
This is the notarised letter where I stated that I had the economic means to sustain myself in Bolivia. My credit card statement was attached to this as proof.
I managed to get this in Rio De Janeiro at a carteiro. Not all carteiros provide this kind of service to foreigners. But my distressed face and a Brazilian friend's intervention got me this letter. I am guessing this would be easier to do if you are applying for visa in your home country.
Step Three: Visit The Embassy/Consulate And Get The Visa!
Provided you have cross-checked the checklist and prepared the prints of all your documents, the last step should be easy.
Print out the form, all other documents and if the consulate deems your application to be complete, you should have the visa the next day( the consulate in Rio claimed that they return the passport the next day).
And with this little effort, you can get a free visa to one of the most unique countries on the planet. Trust me, the effort for the visa is nothing compared to the rewards that await you in Bolivia.
But, what happened to my visa?
Ok, so even the second time my application was deemed incomplete(since my Bolivian friend had just given me a normal letter with his id proof and not a notarised one).
I was running out of time, which meant I had to exercise the option I was so dreading. That is to get the visa on arrival at Santa Cruz airport. There was no concrete information on the internet, which meant it was going to be a risk. But I had no option.
At least this mistake helped me understand visa on arrival in Bolivia, and I will share that with you in the next blog soon.
Stay Odd!

Loxo Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOXO), a Biopharmaceutical company based in Stamford CT, released news over the weekend, during the annual ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) meeting, that they have successfully demonstrated 76% confirmed objective response rate (ORR) across tumor types. According to the FDA, ORR means that it is the direct measure of drug antitumor activity. In response to continuing the new cancer fighting drug trials, Josh Bilemker, M.D., the CEO of Loxo Oncology stated, "We hope that LOXO-195 can extend the period of durable disease control for patients with TRK fusion cancers,"
For the past four quarters, Loxo earnings were consistently reported below analyst estimates; however the news of this trial break through may be the turning point for Loxo. Since their stock prices are trading in an upward trend, as of 6/5/2017, at their own historical high (50+%). Q1 of 2017, released on 5/9/2017, stated total assets at $249.4 million, up from $145.3 million in Q4 2016. Josh Bilemker M.D. stated, "We had a very productive first quarter. We fully enrolled our larotrectinib registrational program, announced a diagnostics collaboration with Roche, presented proof-of-concept clinical data in glioblastoma at the AACR Annual Meeting, and announced the acceptance of two oral presentations at the upcoming ASCO Annual Meeting… For the upcoming quarter, we eagerly look forward to the larotrectinib presentations at ASCO and beginning the clinical development of LOXO-292, our highly selective RET kinase inhibitor"

Plug the Right One In
There are two types of people in life: The killer death-bots and the people who feed them blood. I'm trying to play the death-bot, but mostly end up refilling the blood glass each morning.
I wanted to challenge myself after the success of Saint America, and thanks to Anna who had hooked up every single shade of grey spray paint that Montana makes as a birthdy gift, I had a good excuse to go black and white this time. This was around the same time Quint from AintItCoolNews started his awesome Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day column, and this Metropolis image spoke to me. The actress portraying the iconic robot Maria, cooling off as a production assistant provides a refreshment. Looking at the snapshot without the historic significance, it plays around with ideas of growing old and the increased importance of technology. And it that's too trying too hard, then it's about sexy, vampire cyborgs.
This bastard took me longer than I'd care to admit, with me often getting lost in the various layer shades. It was hard to walk away from it, and I really indulged when applying details to the robotic body. Dig the misty screen effect in the background that was achieved with some plastic fencing I'd found in the country.

text: Dear CBCers, I know you've been subjected to a flurry of emails recently, but we're in the thick part of the season. So, here is one more blast of info... First, our second and final Red Book clinic for the 2015/16 season will be this Saturday at SMR. The AM classroom portion of the clinic will be held at the Upper Caudill room in the Religious Activities Center--that's the building just south of the Administration Building. I'm told that parking and the entrance is on the east side of the building (you might want to give yourself a few extra minutes for navigation...). Please pass along that info if you have friends attending the clinic. As Andy mentioned, it would be nice to have a few knowledge members willing to share their experience during the afternoon portion of the clinic. Please let me or Andy know if you can pitch in during the PM. Also, if you're planning to train at the range on Saturday, be aware that we'll be closing the range down at noon to set up and host the clinic. Again, a little help with the set up would be nice, even if you aren't planning to stick around for the clinic. Second, there is no shortage of regional racing in February. After our first-ever Single Not-Necessarily-Mixed Relay on February 6, there will be a Sprint race at the Casper Mountain Biathlon Club ( http://caspermountainbiathlonclub.org/) on February 7. That race is part of our inaugural Rocky Mountain Race series and I know of several CBCers who are planning to make the easy five hour drive up north. We'll be hosting our State Championships the following weekend (and there's also an Individual, another Rocky Mtn Series race, at the Bridger Biathlon Club, http://bridgerbiathlonclub.org/race-results/). I'll send out more info about our State Champs next week, but more importantly, I'm looking for anyone who might be interested in helping me, your dear and exalted leader, run the races. Contact me directly if you're willing. The following weekend there will be a Mass Start race in WYS, yet another date on our Rocky Mountain Race series, and yet another event with CBCers representing. All racing, all the time. Finally, one gentle reminder: Please be sure to maintain close control of your *cased* rifles whenever you're in the SMR Nordic Center or chillaxin' post race at the Skinny Ski. I recently received an email from someone who thought (mistakenly) that a rifle had been left unattended on a lunch table. Right or wrong, some folks get a little itchy around firearms and I want to make sure we don't add to any one's anxiety level. See you at the range!

How to Pass The NCLEX-PN EXAM was a recent article published on Study.com. Learn how to prepare for test day by reading this and other articles on Study.com and by attending Casa Loma College's Two Day Intensive NCLEX Review.
What is the NCLEX? The NCLEX exam, also known as the National Council Licensure Examination, is used by state boards of nursing to decide whether or not a candidate is ready to begin practicing as an entry-level nurse. This comprehensive exam touches on a number of nursing concepts, and is only open to students who have already completed an accredited nursing program. There are two variations of the NCLEX, one for registered nurses (RNs) and one for practical nurses (PNs), although the registration process and exam content of these two exams is extremely similar.
What is the Test Format? The NCLEX-PN covers a lot of important medical information for aspiring practical nurses. In order to successfully pass the exam, you should devote your attention to reviewing as much of the information that you'll be tested on as possible. The NCLEX consists of four major categories, along with six subcategories. The majority of questions are multiple-choice, although other potential formats include fill-in-the-blank, drag-and-drop, and chart/exhibit questions. Regardless of format, all questions will relate to nursing concepts and topics.
The number of questions varies depending on which version of the test you're taking. The PN (VN) has a maximum of 205 and a minimum of 85. For both exams, you'll also be asked 15 experimental questions, which will not count towards your final score. These questions are used by administrators as they plan for future exams.
What is on the Test? The PN test feature the same four content categories, which are detailed below:
- Safe and Effective Care Environment: This area tests a nurses' ability to create a welcoming and functional setting for patients. Topics of study can include accident prevention, ethics, client rights, and home safety.
- Health Promotion and Maintenance: In addition to curing illnesses, contemporary nursing practice focuses on the prevention of future health problems. This section will challenge students' knowledge of growth and development principles, with topics including the aging process, newborn care, lifestyle choices, and developmental stages.
- Psychosocial Integrity: The NCLEX also tests a student's knowledge of mental illness, and this category focuses on emotional, social, and mental factors (such as abuse, chemical dependencies, and stress) that can influence a patient's health.
- Physiological Integrity: Practicing nurses are expected to promote physical wellness by ensuring that patients remain calm and comfortable. Topics in this section include risk management, therapeutic procedures, and abnormal responses to therapy.
Check Out Test Prep Guides: There are numerous guides available that can help you get ready for this exam. You can buy them at different retailers, both online and at bookstores. You'll want to try to find guides that provide an in-depth review of each of the subjects that appear on the exam and that offer you practice tests with solutions so that you can gauge your readiness for the big exam.
Pay Attention to the Questions: A practice exam can help you get ready for the questions you'll find on the NCLEX-PN. You can improve your chances of passing the exam by making sure that you're answering the question you're being asked and keeping in mind that the most complete answers typically allow you the smallest chance of making an error. You'll also want to avoid answers that are subjective!
If an answer shares terms in common with the question, you should give it further consideration. Answers that ensure the client is not harmed are generally correct. Similarly, correct answers don't usually require the nurse to leave the patient. Focus on applying the nursing process whenever it seems useful. Finally, make sure you're familiar with the treatment options for patients suffering from different mental or emotional disorders.

A good college education is essential to ensuring that you have a bright future. Simply going to college, however, is not enough. You must do everything you can to ensure that you get the best education possible. This article is filled with a number of tips to help you get the most out of your college experience.
Read the course syllabus first thing. The syllabus will tell you when your instructor is available to answer questions and provide extra help. You will quickly see what will be expected of you in the course. The syllabus tells you what your instructor wants you to learn, and thus how to prepare for tests.
Visit the dorm before deciding to live there. You may discover that you don't want to live in that environment. Not only that, but you may find that you prefer one dorm over the other. Make sure you will get the choice you signed up for, and make sure you have a contingency plan in place if you chose a single room but end up in a quad.
Buy your school books a couple weeks before the term begins. Spend an hour familiarizing yourself with each of your books. If you have access to your course syllabus, check it out and see where in the book your class will be starting. This way you can get a bit of a head start.
Think about bringing your own car if you're going to an out of state college. You may not find parking easily. It can also be hard to pay for everything owning a car entails, such as insurance and gas.
One tip if you're having some financial trouble is to purchase used textbooks before going to college. If you buy your books new you will be spending a small fortune. Buying used textbook can be a wise investment to save money.
If you are struggling with one or more of your college courses, seek tutoring help. Many college students think it costs a fortune to hire a tutor; the truth is that most college campuses provide their students with low-cost or free tutoring services. Speak with a financial counselor for more information.
Know your limits – don't overwhelm yourself with too many courses. It may seem like a great idea to take as many courses that you can, but if you take too many, you may fail a few in the process. This totally defeats the time saving you were trying to accomplish!
If you are occupied with work and kids during the daytime, taking night classes is your best bet. Night time college instructors understand that you have a busy life and tend to cater their classes to this. There is usually less course work and the instructors are as a rule a little more flexible.
Don't be afraid to ask for help if you feel overwhelmed, stressed out or depressed during your freshman year. Most colleges offer free therapy or counseling to students; take advantage if you need it. Adjusting to college can be difficult and stressful, so don't be ashamed to admit you can't handle it as well as you thought you would.
Make sure that you register for classes the minute that you are allowed to. If you wait to register, there is a good chance that you will not get the classes, teachers and times that you desire. This can leave you in a very undesirable situation where you will be faced with a difficult schedule.
If you work, but are interested in going to school, think about online opportunities. On-line schools are great for those with busy schedules. It is the most convenient way to get an education.
Keep a few things in your room or apartment that are healthy, cheap and easy to eat. This will significantly cut down on late-night fast food runs and will save you money as a result. Peanut butter, yogurt and bagels are all good choices. They also do not have as many calories as fried chicken or hamburgers.
During your first couple of years in college, explore your education options. This is the time when you can find out what you are really interested in studying. If you try different types of classes, you may discover a subject that you really like to major in. Keep your options open and do not limit yourself.
Avoid using your financial aid funds to go on a shopping spree at your campus bookstore. This is common, especially among first-year students. When you learn that you have financial aid credit at the bookstore, it is tempting to buy things you don't really need. Avoid this impulse and your pocketbook will thank you later.
As mentioned in the beginning of this article, a college education is essential for your future. Just going to college is not enough. You must take action to ensure that you get a full, well-rounded education. By using the tips and advice you have learned by reading this article, you can be sure that you are doing everything possible to ensure that you get a great college education.

Department of Defense.
Notice of Advisory Committee meetings.
The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Discriminate Use of Force (formerly known as the Task Force on Precision Compellence) will meet in closed session on September 25-26, 2002, and October 21-22, 2002, at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA. The Task Force will conduct a comprehensive study of the ends and means of the nuanced use of force, in concert with coalition partners, to achieve political, economic and moral change in countries affecting US interests.
The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At these meetings, the Defense Science Board Task Force will survey the focused use of force so as to alter regimes' behavior, and in ways that are most promising to isolate regimes of concern from their populations and supporting organs and bureaucracies. This will include the means to acquire a well-founded conceptual delineation of targets critically important to the diplomatic, economic and military dominance of the regime. A regime's values and vulnerabilities being highly idiosyncratic, the Task Force shall select some concrete case studies for exploration in depth. These might include current rouge states, terrorist organizations, and future potential adversaries. Of particular relevance are the cleavage planes, where the discriminating use of force might divide the interests of different strata, political, ethnic or religious groups, or even personal rivalries.
In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been determined that these Defense Science Board Task Force meetings concern matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, these meetings will be closed to the public.Start Signature

We propose a new nonparametric test for ordered alternative problem based on the rank difference between two observations from different groups. These groups are assumed to be independent from each other. The exact mean and variance of the test statistic under the null distribution are derived, and its asymptotic distribution is proven to be normal. Furthermore, an extensive power comparison between the new test and other commonly used tests shows that the new test is generally more powerful than others under various conditions, including the same type of distribution, and mixed distributions. A real example from an anti-hypertensive drug trial is provided to illustrate the application of the tests. The new test is therefore recommended for use in practice due to easy calculation and substantial power gain.

Ansd asked:
I just find it a bit odd that this powerful tool does not have any bug fix (if there are any) since 2009!
So is it
outdated stable, or its so powerful that there is no need for any update?
(P.S. The reason behind this is that I'm looking for a backup tool. rdiff-backup really suits my needs but the lack of bug fixes/active development is what is keeping me away from using this tool)
My answer:
I still have several machines being backed up with rdiff-backup. It still works great. And it restores, too! Did I mention that you can get your files back in case of a disaster?
It backs up and it restores. It's powerful enough that I'd describe it as "Time Machine on the command line" if I weren't afraid of Apple suing me. If there are no features to add and no bugs to fix, then what possible update could one release? Sure, I suppose you could add a GUI, but that would be a separate project…
In short, no, there's no real need for concern here.
If you really find this a cause for concern, try contacting the developer and asking why there haven't been any updates recently.
Keep in mind that it's also free software, so if the developer isn't responsive, or died four years ago, or whatever, anyone can pick up the project and run with it. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened.

The Irish Rose pattern is old, old, old, as old as Irish lace. Of course the lace roses were done with thread and a tiny hook, and I use yarn and a much bigger hook, but the pattern is the same. Bonus: no working into stitches, it's all worked into loops. If you can chain, sc, hdc, and dc, you can make an Irish Rose. (Note to people who are considering learning crochet: those are all plain, beginner stitches.) Continue reading
Jenny: Pin Cushions That Can't Lose (or Be Lost)
I got into the pin-cushion-on-a-pedestal thing by accident. If you sew, you need a pin cushion, and I loved my classic fat tomato, but I kept losing it in clutter on the sewing table. So one day, in a fit of frustration, I grabbed an old white wood candlestick I never used, squirted some Goop on top of it, and socked my tomato down. To this day, it's still my fave. I like the incongruity of the simple, everyday tomato on top of the white, classical column. Mostly I like that I never lose my pin cushion any more. It's always high above the fray.
But once you start gluing together pincushions, it's hard to stop. Continue reading
Jenny: Popeye's Little Buddy, Swee' Pea
So when I first got Popeye (the chair I'm reupholstering slooooowly that only has one button on the back so Krissie called it Popeye) many years ago, he needed a footstool and I found a butt-ugly one at Goodwill for not much. (Twenty bucks maybe? Not more. I'm cheap.) It was this hideous gray-green ribbed fabric, so I covered it with three different kinds of red upholstery and shoved it up next to Popeye who was also wearing red at the time. Then the dogs destroyed the top, and rather than reupholster it, I spray-painted it blue with plastic paint. (You can get spray fabric dye, too.) But now Popeye is getting a makeover, so Swee'Pea must change, too. Besides, it was looking really bad: Continue reading
Jenny: Choosing Colors: A Cheat Sheet
I have two different areas in the cottage I'm trying to get old furniture ready for (aka painting and upholstering). The main floor where people will visit is in cottage colors, rich pastels, blues and yellows with pink accents. This is so not my kind of color, but it's going to be relaxing and cosy and most important, it's going to fit the house. The ground floor where I'll be working and doing most of my living (aka dogs, writing, and dropping things on the floor) is just a walk-out basement right now. The house is on a hill, so the back of the basement is underground, but two thirds of it is above ground with windows and the back is a walk-out with windows all around. So down there, where nobody but the dogs and I will ever go, I can make whatever color I want. And I want color. On the other hand, it's easy to lose my grip and just splash the stuff everywhere, so I rely on a tried and true cheat: I find a fabric, a pillow, a quilt I love and I pull all the colors from that as my anchor fabric. For example . . . Continue reading
Jenny: Mental Health Through Upholstery
Since Krissie mentioned The Chair, and I need a post for today before we go to Staples and JoAnn's (bliss), I will show you the The Unfinished Chair. What happened was that the day after I realized I probably had AMD and found the letter from my doctor confirming that I had diabetes, I started doing laundry obsessively (which was good because I had mountains of it). And in between loads, I decided to reupholster the entire house. Well, a lot of the dark furniture in the house. It was too damn depressing. Since then I've painted a lot of it white–more to come–and Alastair painted all the woodwork in the living room white because I was coming unglued and it helped (it's fabulous)–but that night, I wanted to do something right away, something that was hands on, something that I wouldn't have to think about but could just do by instinct, aka "That looks right, that doesn't look right." Kind of like collaging a chair. Continue reading
Jenny: Liquid Courage, aka Painting Stuff
Mary Kay Andrews' cottage reminded me of how much I love painted furniture. I always drool over the Mackenzie-Childs furniture which is freakishly expensive but still lust-able (I love checks so that's a part of that, too). And I've always loved painted cottage furniture and painted cottage floors. Well, basically, I love paint.
But when it comes time to actually slap the stuff on, I hesitate, sometimes for years. Continue reading

I started out dealing in early American furniture at the age of 18 with my dad, Robert Ketelhut, currently an Americana and folk art dealer.

Sight Restored
Sight Restored to Chemically-Blinded Patients Using Repair Stem Cells
By David Prentice
June 18, 2010
Italian scientists report that they have
restored sight to patients blinded by chemical burns
using the patient's own adult stem cells. The team treated 112 patients blinded in one or both eyes; some of whom had been blind for years. Adult stem cells were taken from the edge of a patient's eye and cultured on fibrin, then the cell layers transplanted onto the damaged eyes. The adult stem cells produced healthy corneas and functioning eyes. Some patients regained sight within two months, while for others with deeper injuries the process took a year before vision was restored. Patients were followed up to ten years after the transplant. After a single transplant, 69% of patients regained vision; in some cases a second transplant occurred, with a total success in 77% of patients and partial vision restoration in 13% of patients. The long-term restoration was an especially encouraging success of the study.
Lead researcher Dr. Graziella Pellegrini, of the University of Modena, said:
"The patients, they are happy, even the partial successes. We have a couple of patients who were blind in both eyes. Can you imagine for these patients the change in their quality of life?"
According to the scientists, the key to success was insuring a high enough concentration of adult stem cells in the graft, so that the stem cells could continue to generate new tissue.

If you're visiting Japan just for a few days, I would like to recommend you a number of quintessential places for the extremely complex and varied Japanese culture. With this in mind, I started about six months ago a list of places to visit, beginning with the Nikko World Heritage site. Today, here's another UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Itsukushima Shrine on the Miyajima Island, near Hiroshima.
The Itsukushima Shrine is a large complex built on pillars over the water, each of its buildings being representative for the old sacred Japanese architecture. Here you will find, connected by corridors, the main hall (best admired from the water), several smaller shrines, beautiful bridges, two Japanese court dance stages, and a Noh stage. Also, I must mention the spectacular Buddhist pagoda located nearby and the shrine's world famous Otorii (Grand Gate).

I can no longer remember where I got this recipe from but I have made it a couple of times for work lunches or picnics. It is a nice change from sandwiches but also light, and not strongly flavoured which can be ideal for a summer work lunch.
- Cooked pasta
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 capsicum, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 c green beans, halved
- 1 c carrot, chopped
- 1/4 c olives, halved
- Salad dressing (I use a spicey vinaigrette)
1 Combine cooked pasta with all other ingredients in a bowl and then mix through with your choice of dressing.
This can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

The world will turn its attention to Rio this week as the 2016 Summer Olympics kick off on Friday, Aug. 5.
As spectators and athletes pack Maracanã Stadium for the opening ceremony, warm and dry weather will make for ideal conditions.
The outdoor venue seats roughly 78,000 people.
Temperatures will be slightly higher than normal for the first day of Olympic activity. Daytime highs typically hit in the mid-70s F (around 24 C) during this time of year, but temperatures will reach close to 80 F (27 C).
By the time the ceremony starts at 8 p.m. local time (7 p.m. EDT), temperatures will fall into the lower 70s (near 21 C).
"It will feel a bit humid for those heading to the ceremony," AccuWeather Meteorologist Rob Miller said.
Brazilian musicians Anitta, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil are scheduled to perform. More than 6,000 volunteer dancers will perform throughout the ceremony.
The ceremony's creative directors planned the entire show using less than 10 percent of the budget of the last summer Olympic opening ceremony in London.
"I guess I'd be ashamed to waste what London spent in a country where we need sanitation, where education needs money," Fernando Meirelles, one of the directors said.
As events kick off over the weekend, the dry and warm weather will continue, Miller said.
Temperatures will rise into the low to middle 80s F (27-29 C).

Lake Vyrnwy Hotel
Originally built in 1890, the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel has been developed further on three separate occasions. It sits in a commanding position on the Lake Vyrnwy estate, in the Berwyn Mountains, near the English border in Mid Wales. The hotel holds special memories for the editors at tŵr Cymru Culture towers, as this was one of the places we chose to stay at for our honeymoon (which encompassed saying in various hotels around Wales) and we have since stayed here twice since.
The hotel overlooks a picturesque Victorian reservoir. Its spectacular sunrises and sunsets are one of the main reasons for returning to this wonderful hotel again, and again. The majority of tables in the hotel restaurant conveniently overlook the lake; so a romantic setting in the evening and/or a wonderful outlook when enjoying your cornflakes, smoked haddock and poached egg, in the morning is guaranteed. The hotel itself is 4 star and its style and ambience is of a luxurious hunting lodge. Interestingly, some visitor reviews on Trip Advisor comment on its shabby-chic appearance (which, on each subsequent stay have lent more towards the shabby, but more of that later), but for me, this is part of its charm. Its book-filled sitting rooms contain deep, well-used sofas, mounted taxidermy (remnants of its previous incarnation as a hunting lodge) and fishing paraphernalia that hang all around, adding to the ambience. Another charming feature is the dress-code for your evening meal … jackets preferred.
If the weather is cold or rainy, and the prospect of going outside unappealing (the hotel encourages a range of outdoor pursuits, including their own tennis courts), I suggest sitting in front of the log-fire in the drawing room, whilst enjoying the stunning views. Huge well-worn sofas are dotted around the richly furnished room - the perfect location to settle down with a good book of a rainy afternoon. Excellent cream teas are available and the home-made shortbread biscuits are wonderful. On our most recent visit, we noticed that the upholstery on some of the chairs needed attention, and whilst this has always added to the charm of the place, the hotel did seem in need of some refurbishment. However, we understand that some furniture has been replaced since then (September 2012). And anyway, this does not detract from the overall charm of the hotel – it's still (just) the right side of lived-in luxury. Lake Vyrnwy Hotel's general manager and director, Anthony Rosser, told us recently, "some of the proper antique chairs were inspected by a local upholsterer only a few days ago, and one by one they will be going into his workshops in the New Year.", which is really good to hear.
Alternatively, and for extra pampering, the hotel's Spa Thermal suite and the fully equipped gym are available to hotel guests for £10 per person, per day. For really cold days, the dry sauna and the eight-person whirlpool spa bath work their magic - both have fabulous views looking over the lake - and, for pure, luxurious relaxation, try the heated tepidarium loungers. Summer days may tempt you to the ice fountain, but we decided to pass … just this time. The Spa also offers an amazing range of therapies and treatments (at additional cost) - from a detox seaweed wrap, to a 'Refresh Stone' full body massage - including: treatment rooms; aromatherapy salt inhalation room; Arabian rasul mud therapy chamber; monsoon shower; and fragrant mist shower. Dressing gowns, slippers and towels are all provided, but remember to bring your swimwear.
The Lake Vyrnwy Hotel is built on a grand scale. Although it covers considerable ground physically, it has only 52 rooms, so providing a lot of roomspace. Thirty four of the rooms benefit from the spectacular views of the reservoir. Twenty one of those have balconies, and all are designed individually. The three different room grades range from £268 for dinner, bed and breakfast, to £192. However, there is a huge range of breaks to choose from, many incorporating use of the hotel's extensive Spa facilities.
A heavy focus is placed on room character (some have four poster beds, for example) and lovely touches such as Egyptian cotton bed-linen, and tea trays including delicious biscuits.
We booked the 'Vyrnwy Break', which consists of two nights dinner, bed and breakfast in a Lake View room, at £218 per night (excluding drinks and use of the spa). Five course meals (for non-residents) are priced at £29 (without drinks) and a number of choices available attract an additional supplement.
Dinner is a fabulous affair, consisting of five courses of beautifully prepared food. The hotel prides itself on using seasonal products and ingredients, which have been sourced locally. Sat in the hotel's Tower Bar for apéritifs prior to our dining room reservation, we were handed menus from which to make our choices. Having perused the menus, we were served a small tray of amuse-bouches, consisting of various crackers and mixed olives; a lovely accompanyment to the view over the reservoir and its surrounding mountains. Once our table was ready, our drinks were duly carried ahead of us into the dining room, with great pomp and ceremony on a silver tray. One caveat I would make is that the portions are rather small, and whilst a 5 course menu, two of the courses consist of a small sampling of freshly made soup and a sorbet (served in cute espresso cups). So, if you have a raging hunger, I suggest you have an afternoon snack of some sort (as mentioned earlier, the coffee and handmade shortbread biscuits are excellent) or have a substantial lunch at the Tavern Bar and Lounge (see below) beforehand.
For a relaxed, less formal affair, the hotel has the Tavern Bar and Lounge on-site, which offers a large selection of gastro-pub styled dishes, competitively priced. Hot-boxed Camembert with crusty bread, sounding a particularly delicious option. We sampled honey roast ham, egg and chips, and sea bass, new potatoes and salad. Both were delicious and quite generous, in terms of portion size, in comparrison to the hotel restaurant.

A Jazz Piano Christmas 2015
Once again, NPR has provided a rich and filling banquet of piano music for the season. This year's version of A Jazz Piano Christmas features two of my favourites – Kenny Barron and Fred Hersch – along with two newer faces I'm now coming to appreciate. Of those newer faces, one is particularly new… 12 year old Joey Alexander, whose debut album My Favorite Things has recently been nominated for two Grammy Awards. By comparison, that makes 33 year old Carmen Staaf a veteran!
For me the standouts are Carmen Staaf's version of "The Coventry Carol", Fred Hersch's take on Joni Mitchell's "River", and Kenny Barron's thrilling rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." But don't take my word on it… take an hour, and listen to the full radio broadcast. After that, you can get even more listening in by taking in the various songs that were recorded but not included in the NPR broadcast. The streaming audio is being made available for free courtesy of NPR, and can be accessed by clicking here.
And because this is an annual concert held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., there's an amazing back-catalogue of concerts available online. One of my personal favourites is the 2011 edition, which you can read more about elsewhere on this blog.

With DirectCPV there is a daily budget, but will it just send out the whole allocation of traffic at once or will they space it out like adf .ly? Thanks for any answers in advance!

Great Article in the Detroit Free Press
Detroit Free Press Sports Writer, Mike Brudenell, recently wrote a great story about the Gold Cup event.
"I've dusted off my soapbox and here I go once again: If you don't get down to the Detroit River and watch the unlimited hydroplanes race in a couple weeks time, well, you'll have missed the best local sports action of the summer and a chance to support the city of Detroit."
For the full article see:
Volunteers Needed Wednesday July 2nd
We can use all the help that any DRRA person can help with. We are tidying up the race site and are about 80% done with the heavy stuff. This Wednesday the 2nd of July we are putting in the finger docks, the Med dock and the bridge to Piston Park. This is always a challenge with having enough young, spry men and ladies to help. Some of it just requires hooking and unhooking the cables for the crane that lifts them. Once a little training is done it is a real simple thing that just needs a lot of hands to get it done. This is a lunch day so come down even if you just want to watch the fun.

Books and Writing
- Details
On August 30, at Ye Olde Warwick Bookshop (2 - 4 p.m.) in Warwick, NY, authors Sharon Linnéa and B.K. Sherer will read from and sign copies of their new novel, Plagues of Eden, as well as raffle off a basket of Paris, West Point and wine-themed prizes. Plagues of Eden is part of their new trilogy that picks up where they left off in the thrilling adventures of their Eden Series.
So as summer careens to an end, tell me what's happening with you.
It's been a busy time of year for me. I have a son who is going back to college at Suny Plattsburgh and a daughter who is a senior at Warwick Valley High School. With 2 dogs and 3 cats and a new book coming out, it's a little bit crazy.
How long have you been writing the Eden series?
Chasing Eden, which was the first to come out, was published in 2006. Then there was Beyond Eden and the Treasure of Eden. So about 8 years.
Is Plagues of Eden the 4th book in the series?
Yes, and it's the first book of a new trilogy. So it's a good point for a new reader to jump in.
I see. Kind of like Star Wars?
Hopefully better than the first one in that second trilogy. (Sorry, Phantom Menace!)
What in part defines this new trilogy?
Although not much time elapses between the two trilogies, we now find our protagonist, Chaplain Jamie Richards, stateside at West Point. She is married—but not exactly settled. What also marks the break is the fact that we get inside the head of her husband, the mysterious Sword 23—as well as a large mélange of bad guys and good guys, of course.
What are some of the highlights of the book?
There is a madman who is about to unleash the 10 deadly plagues of ancient Egypt. Jamie is called in to help and has to fly around the world to stop the infamous people who are doing it. The book also gets into winemaking, which we had a great deal of fun researching—not only Napa, France and Italy, but in China as well! Check out the trailer and you'll get a sense of the adventure you are in for.
How does wine come into play?
One of the characters is dangerously delusional. However, he is able to create a fantastic grape, and wine, to win the heart of the woman he loves.
That sounds interesting. So how has publishing changed since your first book?
Since 2006, publishing has changed in historic ways. In 2006, 100% of our sales were of traditional, "paper" books. Now, close to 80% of sales are e-books, and they are available in audio, which is fun. , Fortunately, when people read the first book, more than 50% go on to buy the 2nd and 3rd.
Tell me a little about B.K. Sherer and your collaboration with her.
She's a Presbyterian minister and an active duty Army chaplain. She's also very good at what she does. She's currently stationed at West Point, and even though she often works 7 day weeks, it's been a treat to have her not only here in the U.S. instead of deployed, but in the same time zone! And a drivable distance! But I know not to get too attached to the current situation. But because she also has a "day job," we need to work around her schedule.
When we are working, we first hammer out the outline. Then she takes characters and I take characters, and we work through a first draft. Obviously, she takes the military characters. I eventually do a final edit to make sure the voice(s) are consistent and that the narrative flows.
So you like collaborating?
There is nothing better than a good collaborator. It becomes effortless. But it's also very challenging when you are writing a lot of facts and trying to get inside someone's head. Writing with a co-author is very much like a marriage, in which you both have to be willing to give more than 50%. It's more like each has to give 90%.
What's your background? Have you always been a writer?
I have a background in publishing. I worked for 3 major book publishers, as well as 5 national magazines. It taught me to really value a good editor, and I'm sure grateful for ours!
You also teach a writing workshop with author Matthew Field. What is the gist of the workshop?
Do you have any writing advice?
First, take your craft seriously. Work on continuing to improve.
Second, put your butt in the chair. There's no way around it.
Third, allow yourself a horrible first draft, but finish the whole draft before you edit. I can't tell you how many people have a first chapter they've re-written 53 times, and nothing else!

By Nicole Plonski
Do you visit or live in NYC? Does your clothing help express who you are? If you answered yes to both questions, being featured on TO Z: Fashion is a possibility and it is not far out of reach.
The New York-based, female-run blog has made it its mission to look beyond diversity as different races and religions by zooming in on individual style, and in this way telling stories through photos. Xiaoxiao and Yi, the faces behind the blog, are constantly delivering a message to people: being cool means being yourself.
Xiaoxiao and Yi met at an NYU school event, which they both attended solely for the free food. Yi came from an advertising and design background, and Xiaoxiao had shooting fashion in NYC in mind long before their first conversation. It turned out that they lived across the street from each other, and soon after they were spending many days visiting stores in South Street Seaport and taking photos on the Brooklyn Bridge. The more time passed, the more they realized how much they had in common in terms of styles and aesthetics. Eager to record other unique styles in the city, they made their thoughts of a blog a reality.
Not even a full year later and Xiaoxia and Yi have, as a team: approached, photographed, and featured hundreds of people sporting their very own New York street style. You can see all of their work on their Instagram: @toz_fashion or their website.
Want to know more? I asked them 11 questions to get the scoop on their own fashion sense, their experiences, and their future plans for TO Z: Fashion. Check out their answers below!
1. Where are you from and how old are you?
Xiaoxiao: My hometown is Huzhou, a small city in southeastern China. I am 26.
Yi: I'm from Shanghai and I'm 24.
2. What is your individual role as part of T0 Z: Fashion?
Xiaoxiao: My responsibilities focus more on the marketing side: say hello to people when we want a photo of them, grow followers on different platforms organically and interact with them, interview people and craft initial stories, use SEO in storytelling, etc. I only take pictures when Yi is busy, when I am traveling alone or when I want to practice. When Yi takes care of the photos, I would love to be her assistant.
Yi: My part focuses more on our content. I'm the major photographer of To Z: and I develop different content for our blog and social media platforms, including graphic design, photo editing, video production and blog posts. We divided our responsibilities based on our personality. Xiaoxiao, compared to me, is more [of a] extrovert. She is so natural when she reaches out to people that we're unfamiliar with. I'm a little bit slow to warm up. But I'm changing because of her and our blog! I majored in advertising in my undergraduate, so I'd learned a lot about design and copywriting. And of course, I'm very interested in photography!
3. How do you decide who to photograph?
Xiaoxiao: Most of the time, we just agree immediately to photograph someone when we see that person. But beneath this instant agreement is what we love and sense: that [that] person [has] a unique idea of styling and that [that] person's outfit represents her/his personality.
Yi: We both love the fashionistas whose styles advocate their personalities. Actually, we found our preferences after we had [taken photographs] for around five months. One day we felt we couldn't find anybody we'd like to photograph but in fact there were many people wearing trendy items. At that time, we realized that we preferred the stylish people dressing in accord with their characters.
4. What is your favorite place to photograph?
Xiaoxiao: Elizabeth Street in NoLita area. We met many cool people there. Their styles are not that fast fashion, which is overwhelming on the other side of Broadway. Also, this area is quieter and less crowded than many others.
Yi: NoLita, for sure! New York City has so many different neighborhoods and [the people there] have various styles and charisma. NoLita has what we want! We often come across who we're looking for there.
5. What is the best part about T0 Z: Fashion?
Xiaoxiao: We don't care about trends, and we care about trends. It sounds confusing, but here's my explanation: we photograph all kinds of outfits. Some people wear trendy clothes, some wear items from many years ago, some even wear clothes from [their] Mom and Grandma. But what they have in common is that they use outfits to express their characters instead of simply following the trend. And this is the "trend" we care about – [being] yourself.
Yi: Be ourselves. And the people we featured or photographed are just being themselves. This is a platform that advocates and compliments personalities rather than trends.
6. What is the story behind the name?
Xiaoxiao: We wanted to build a link between us and our audience. X and Y are the first letters of our initials respectively. Z refers to the audience who see what X (Xiaoxiao) and Y (Yi) see and feel how we feel when it comes to styles. This blog is delivered to the Z.
Yi: Haha. Because our name initials are X and Y. From X (Xiaoxiao) and Y (Yi), To Z. We came up with this whole blog idea after we hung out with each other for the first time on Brooklyn Bridge. Actually, we knew each other on the first day of our school at an NYU welcome event. Then we found out that we were living really near each other. Her building was just across the street from mine. But we hung out after our first semester ended. We had a long talk and then we got to know more about each other. Xiaoxiao loves meeting people and I love art and photography. But we both love fashion and style. So soon we had this blog idea. But we didn't start it right away. About half a year later, we finally decided to go out and look for styles on the street.
7. Have you ever photographed a celebrity or someone relatively famous?
Xiaoxiao: Oh, yes. We ran into supermodel Emma Stern Nielsen on Broadway. That was the very first time. Afterwards we captured supermodels Ophelie Guillermand, Riley Montana, Yuka Mannami, Montana Cox, Alina Baikova, bloggers Sonya Esman, Camille Charrière, Tamu Mcpherson, Sally Ashour, Valerie of Idiosyncratic Fashionistas, Poppy King the founder of Lipstick Queen, etc.
Yi: Yes! We ran into several supermodels, like Yuka Mannami, Alina Baikova, Montana Cox, Emma Stern Nielsen… We also photographed supermodel and TV personality Veronica Webb; founder of lipstick brand Lipstick Queen, Poppy King; and popular social media influencers, such as Tamu McPherson, Camille Charriere, our best friend Andy Casanova and many others.
8. How do people usually react to being confronted by you two?
Xiaoxiao: They are simply very nice and say "sure." Very few of them say they are shy, but they are still happy to be part of the blog. We only got rejected five times. And those were very polite no's.
Yi: Most of them are very nice! 90% of them said yes to us. New Yorkers are really friendly. Some of them were very shocked because they didn't feel they looked good at all, especially for some seniors. We met several ladies who looked really fabulous but they were not that confident in themselves because of their age. They told us they felt gross about themselves. But when we complimented their styles and told them they looked really awesome, they nodded to us. It's really not about age. Style never ages.
9. What has been your most memorable experience as part of TO Z: Fashion?
Xiaoxiao: We ran into Poppy King the founder of Lipstick Queen three times in NoLita. We three decided to have a cup of coffee the fourth time we met. It was fantastic to [get to] know Poppy's personality, her style and her stories, and to share our thoughts.
Yi: I think the whole experience is very memorable to me. I read the book "The Sartorialist" by Scott Schuman in my undergraduate. At that time, I felt it was super awesome to meet and snap so many different people in cool styles on the street. I never thought I could do it one day. To Z: gave me a perfect opportunity to explore this fantastic city and meet all kinds of cool New Yorkers.
10. What would you say both of your individual styles are?
Xiaoxiao: Make the most from fewest items. For me, styling is permutation and combination. I can match one item to different styles. One important principle: creative but neat.
Yi: I think we're not swayed by the trends. We choose what we think are best for us. My style is inspired and influenced by my favorite artistic styles, De Stijl and Memphis design. I love colors but I prefer basic and normal shapes. Just like Mondrian's artworks, the form is very simple but the colors are really eye-catching.
11. Any future plans for TO Z: Fashion?
Xiaoxiao: Grow To Z: into a hub for individuals to find small but interesting brands, for designers from different cultures to communicate and explore new markets.
Yi: I hope To Z: could be a great hub to connect fashionistas, designers, stylists and all other creatives, and also become a perfect platform for them to show their works and personalities and communicate with each other. We'd like to focus more on humanity rather than trends. We should dress more for ourselves rather than be limited by trends. Since we're both from China, we also would like to have more cool Chinese designs under exposure!

The Story
"Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it..."
- Albus Dumbledore
With Halloween on the horizon it only felt appropriate that I should make some projects to mark the occasion. I'm in the process of creating a Halloween window display based on the Harry Potter series of books and movies, the Hogwarts Coat of Arms is just one of the many props that will feature in the finished display.
Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima designed the Coat of Arms based on J.K. Rowling's description in the Harry Potter books. It is divided into four, with each quadrant representing the founders: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. You can find out more about the emblems of the wizarding world on Pottermore.
My Coat of Arms is brought to life using colored felt, some decorative rope, glue and a handful of templates. I had a lot of help from my girlfriend who did some of the fiddly bits, including the detail work. She also helped with the gluing, so a big thank you to her for putting up with me.
Full instructions to make this project are available on Instructables.

There are lots > of assumptions within httpd about things being linear. -- justin The idea is to never allow your threads to block doing network i/o. Do all your reads/writes with non-blocking (or asynchronous) i/o. Your worker threads are blocked on a queue (BSD KQueue, Solaris /dev/poll or Windows CompletionPort) waiting for i/o completion notifications. When an i/o completes, the queue dispatches one of your threads, you recover the request context (conn_rec, request_rec, et. al.) with a look-up function keyed to the file descriptor (or other keys supported by the particular implementation), and pick up where you left off. Details of how to recover context, how threads are awakened, etc. are a bit different for each OS but the general idea is the same. I expect it is possible to create an APR API that hides most if not all of the OS specific implementation details. Since your worker threads never block on network i/o, they are free to handle other work, thus you can handle more work with fewer threads (and all the good things that implies). Bill
