My Superpower is a regular guest column on the Skiffy and Fanty blog where authors and creators tell us about one weird skill, neat trick, highly specialized cybernetic upgrade, or other superpower they have, and how it helped (or hindered!) their creative process as they built their project. Today we welcome Carrie Patel to talk about how the power of making lists relates to The Buried Life.
Once upon a time, I had the uncanny ability to down lots of mimosas without suffering any ill effects afterwards. I'd tell you my record, but my mother will probably read this.
However, as I creep closer to thirty, I've traded in some of my youthful superpowers (infinite mimosas, staying up for two days in a row) for more grown-up abilities.
Like making lists.
Lists are an underappreciated art form. They're elegant and versatile — you can use them for just about anything related to story development, from brainstorming to chapter layouts. They're also short and sweet. When you're drowning in pages of notes, a good list can steady you and get you back on track.
I use lists for just about every aspect of plotting and character development. I try to keep my outlines as listy as possible so that I can refer to them quickly when I just need a reference point. When I'm getting to know my characters, I make lists about them — what they like, what they want, what keeps them up at night. In general, I greatly prefer this approach to writing fictional biographies. The lists keep me focused on the details I need to know about my characters, and they prevent me from expending more words than necessary.
I even make lists about themes. Yes, for real. When I'm trying to tie off the dangling threads of a narrative, having a sense of the big-picture arcs, conflicts, and themes can help me resolve those threads in the most satisfying way possible.
At this point, it won't surprise you to hear that I'm more of a plotter than a pantser. I like to know where I'm going when I sit down to write, and the more signposts, the better. Not that I always follow those signposts — sometimes I approach my chapter landmark only to find a more interesting one off in the distance. I'm comfortable with that, but I still need those initial navigation points to find my way to my eventual destination and to keep my prose from descending into aimlessness.
Which brings me to another great thing about lists. You don't have to commit to them. You can warm up with a list about your antagonist's inner struggles, realize it's not getting you anywhere, and kick it out the door after five unproductive minutes. Or maybe twenty. Hey, I'm not trying to imply anything.
The point is, lists keep you thinking. But, more importantly, they also keep you writing.
Lists are stress-free and anxiety-free. They're pure idea generation, and they silence the inner editor long enough to get ideas flowing. When I'm working on a list, I don't worry about how concise or elegant my wording is. I don't care if one bullet point gracefully follows the next.
No. When I'm building a list, my brain is churning and my fingers are typing, which is exactly the kind of momentum I need to pull myself out of the nosedive that is writer's block.
And if that's not a superpower, I don't know what is.

North Carolina has a lot of local governments. To be exact, the state has 100 counties and 552 municipalities. North Carolina is one of only seven states with triple digits in the number of counties, with Texas taking the prize at 254. We're 18th among states in the number of municipalities, but far below the record holder of Illinois, with 2,729.
Many of us identify with our nearest local government, particularly when it comes to the economy. For example, an out-of-state friend might ask you how the economy is doing in Greensboro. Or a traveler eating at a diner in Richmond County could ask some locals if businesses are hiring.
Politics and statistics also cause us to focus on county and city boundaries. Both entities have elected officials who are concerned about economic development in their jurisdictions. Also, many numbers and statistics are regularly released describing economic conditions in counties and cities.
But do local economies start and stop at county and municipal lines? Don't many people who live in one city or county but work in another? And what about buying? Even if you're a fan of "buying local," does this mean you won't hop over to the next county to visit a mall, shopping center or restaurant?
Economists observe all kinds of cross-county and cross-city transactions. This is why most economists don't think a county or city is the best description of a local economy.
But then what is? While the possibilities are many, a system developed several decades ago by the U.S. Census Bureau seems – at least to me – to make considerable sense.
The Census has three categories of a local economy. The first is a metropolitan area (technically called a metropolitan statistical area). A metropolitan area has a core city of 50,000 or more people together with surrounding counties having a high degree of social and economic interaction with that city, such as commuting for jobs and buying.
The second local-economy category is a micropolitan area. This is a region having a core city of between 10,000 and 50,000 people and nearby counties with strong employment and buying ties.
The third category is termed rural because it has no core cities of 10,000 or more people. With no significant central place serving as a magnet, economic interactions are more limited in rural areas than in the metropolitan and micropolitan regions.
Based on these definitions, North Carolina has 15 metropolitan areas and 24 micropolitan areas. Also, three counties are associated with metropolitan areas outside the state. Brunswick County in the southeast is part of the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area, and Gates and Currituck counties in the northeast are components of the Virginia Beach/Norfolk metropolitan region.
A total of 26 counties in North Carolina are considered rural.
Do these categories for local economies make sense? As someone who has visited most regions of our state several times in my almost 40-year career at N.C. State University, I would say yes. For example, driving around the Raleigh metropolitan area where I live, the counties of Johnston, Wake and Franklin – which make up the Raleigh metro area – certainly seem to be tied together.
Likewise, the two counties of the the Sanford micropolitan area – Lee and Harnett – appear to be joined in commerce. And the down-east counties of Sampson, Duplin, Bladen and Columbus – which are neither in a metropolitan or micropolitan category – seem to represent the tradition of what is considered to be rural North Carolina.
There are numerous private and public implications of thinking about local economies in this way. Advertisers and transportation planners can use them to understand how and where people shop. Business recruiters – who are often county-based – can use the categories to estimate how a new business in one county or city might affect nearby counties and cities.
I don't think many of us will give up emotional allegiances to our home county or city. I know I haven't. But economic linkages change over time. The geographic region best describing current local economies can be quite different from those existing decades ago.
Still, is anyone going to say they're from the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton Statistical Area, instead of simply Catawba County? You decide.

Most people would put their foot down and accelerate away from a big elephant approaching them. These doctors were not scared and wanted to stick around to see what would happen, what the elephant showed them was shocking. It is as if this elephant knew these people were doctors and could help him. They saw a hole in the elephant's head and this worried them. They managed to safely tranquilize the animal and removed a bullet from his head. The elephant had hours to live, he was lucky saved just in time.

Can you imagine finding a simple receipt with a message scrawled on it from someone desperately trying to save themselves from danger?
A university student from Nanning, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, found herself stuck in a pyramid selling scheme, and chose to leave an SOS on a coffee shop receipt in a bid to get help. Her unusual call for help saw her praised online for her quick thinking and resourcefulness.
The student, surnamed Yang, came to the local coffee shop in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province on Friday, accompanied by two women and a man.
She then immediately went to the counter asking shop manager Peng Huaixin if there was a washroom, before sitting down with her companions.
The shop manager, however, failed to recognize her plea for help disguised in her inquiry.
"She said 'help' in an extremely quiet voice when ordering the drinks, but I did not hear it at all," Peng told local media icswb.com, adding the student later resorted to the receipt as a final attempt at a distress signal.
On paying the bill when leaving, Yang wrote "SOS" in Chinese along with her name on the receipt. When he saw it, Peng reported the case to the shop owner who asked Peng to call police.
Yang, who was later identified by local police as a university student coaxed from Nanning to Changsha by the pyramid scheme through the Internet, was under the control of the three suspects throughout her stay in Changsha while being pressured to make an investment, according to the preliminary investigation.
She was taken back to her family following the incident, with the three suspects still in detention for investigation, local police reported.
The case attracted widespread attention online, as thousands of netizens praised the quick-witted student as well as the shop manager, who offered timely help instead of turning her back on someone in need.
"How smart is the university student! We should learn from her," @momo6254856416 commented on Weibo. He also called for strengthened efforts from the government to address the growing number of pyramid selling organizations.
"I must give a thumbs-up to the kind-hearted shop manager who provided help despite the possibility of getting into trouble," said another netizen, adding if she were the shop manager, she would not have been able to recognize the student's handwritten message at all.
Pyramid schemes, which are infamous for deceptive fund-raising and relentless pressure on recruited members, run on an outlawed multi-level business model that makes illegal profits by entrapping others into the scheme, rather than making investments or selling products.
In May 2015, a pyramid scheme operated through WeChat, China's most popular instant messaging app, was busted by police in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, with its mastermind sentenced to prison for eight years and fined 10,000 yuan (1,477 US dollars).
Altogether, 46 members from a pyramid scheme in Beihai, also in Guangxi, were arrested last Tuesday amid a police crackdown on such shady fundraising activities.

CHIVHU - A Chivhu woman thief notorious for stealing wheelbarrows has been remanded in prison after she was arrested for unlawful entry.
Norah Madzivire (39) who comes from the famous Madzivire family of Gavajena Village under Chief Nyoka in Manyene was remanded in custody on Tuesday by Magistrate Henry Sande.
Madzivire was charged for contravening section 131 (1) of the criminal law codification and reform act chapter 9:23 "unlawful entry into premises".
Allegations are that on Sunday, at around 12 pm, Madzivire entered into the house of the complainant John Zhou who is a builder residing at Rooiport in Chivhu.
She stole 3×6 meters roofing timber through the window and hid it in a field close to the complainant's house. The complainant was alerted by a neighbour who saw the accused in the act.
Madzivire was intercepted on her way from the complainant's house and was found in possession of 200 grams skala body cream, one torch and one Acer phone which she had stolen from the complainant's house.
In June last year, Madzivire was held in lawful custody at ZRP Chivhu after her arrest on another theft case and she escaped one day at around 3am after pretending that she was going to relieve herself.
Thomas Mushangidze prosecuted.

Mac Pro Nehalem Tests: Introduction
Related: Mac Pro, Macs
Multiple pages with test results follow, each discussing performance comparing the 2008 Mac Pro 2.8GHz (MP08) to the March 2009 Mac Pro "Nehalem"2.93GHz (MP09).
The MP09 enjoys a 4.6% clock speed advantage over the 2.8GHz MP08.
Estimates for the 3.2GHz 2008 Mac Pro
For purposes of actionable and useful comparisons, most graphs also include MP08-3.2 EST, an estimate for the running time with a 3.2GHz 2008 Mac Pro (based on the simple ratio of 2.8Ghz vs 3.2 GHz processor). Such estimates are deemed to be reasonably accurate enough to be used as the basis for making a decision, but specific tests could see variance from the expected value.
Estimates are provided only for tests where disk speed does not influence the results (most tests do not involved the disk in a significant way).
Comparison graphs
All comparison graphs show the fastest performance at the top and the slowest performance at the bottom, regardless of whether the figures represent time or rate.
The gray bar is always the MP08-3.2 EST estimated speed.
Configuration of the test machines PERMALINK
To keep the results as directly comparable as possible I configured both machines with the same system setup and applications, indeed Migration Assistant was used to match the new Mac Pro to my existing one.
System version
Mac OS X 10.5.6 was used for the tests here, unless otherwise indicated (future additions). All current patches applied at the date of testing. Both machines used identically configured systems (via cloning).
Boot drive
Both machines were booted from an Intel X25-M solid state drive. However, none of the tests involve the boot drive and it is not a relevant factor.
None of the tests are sensitive to boot drive speed; the internal striped RAID was used for files; it was measured at over 400MB/sec for reads and writes.
Hard drives (data)
Both machines used four (4) internal Western Digital RE-3 drives, both used a 4-way 128GB striped RAID partition for scratch/working space. Disk I/O speed was checked and found to be a non-issue with all tests except the diglloydMedium test, which demands high disk performance for the large scratch file it generates.
Tests indicate the amount of memory and number of modules.
Test results PERMALINK
Tests were repeated to verify consistency, with appropriate reboot and/or quiescent periods before starting In the more interesting/surprising cases, more trials were made to rule out any possibility of error.
Other tests PERMALINK
Rob-Art at BareFeats.com has some tests with Motion and Imaginator that show the relative video card speeds with video cards like the GeForce 120 GT (standard in the MP09), the Radeon HD 4870 (optional upgrade), and others. Rob also has some pro apps benchmarks and core image benchmarks.
Rob's numbers are valuable in showing potential speed, but remember that benchmarks are "best case" and that actual performance differences between video cards might or might not materialize for any particular task or application.

LASIK eye surgeryworks to reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses such as contacts or glasses. LASIK stands for "laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis."
In the first step of LASIK surgery, a thin flap is made in the flat surface of the eye, known as the cornea. The flap is made with an Intralase laser using the energy from ultraviolet beam. In the final step, the flap is repositioned over the cornea, serving as a bandage.
LASIK surgery improves your vision during the second step, during which the laser remodels the cornea's shape. During this process, the cornea is reshaped allowing more light to enter the eye and the retina, resulting in sharper vision. The laser will flatten the too-steep cornea if you are nearsighted, and shape your cornea into a steeper shape if you are farsighted. The laser can even reshape the eye if you have astigmatism.
LASIK has a high patient satisfaction rating that is linked to low pain association while the surgery is performed along with results as early as the next day.
Dr. Fulton will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if your eyes are healthy enough for the procedure and to determine how much laser reshaping would be necessary for optimal vision correction. After the procedure Dr. Fulton will perform all of the necessary post-op exams to ensure your corneas are healing appropriately. If you live in or around Chickasha feel free to contact our office and schedule an appointment for a consultation today to discuss how to best improve your vision.

Have a Blast Camping in Your Own Backyard
If you have little ones or just can't make it to the campground every weekend, then camping in your backyard could be a great try out the idea of camping with your children and see what you really will need when you go camping at a destination.
Just because you are camping in your backyard doesn't mean it can't feel like "real" camping. Prepare for the night out like you would a camping destination trip, considering everything you might need for the time you plan to spend camping.
Set up the camping gear – tent, sleeping bags, campfire, etc. – in your backyard and plan out meals. Enjoy S'mores and plan activities that don't include cell phones, TV or computers! It could be something like taking a walk around the neighborhood or at a nearby park, catching fireflies, or just telling stories around the campfire. Enjoy each others company and being outside.

Just played "Sin Episodes",... What I think... **spoilers**
Well It's been long time coming since Sin came out in 98, and graphics and sound have gotten
better, unfortunately level layout and story still remain the same :-(.
Which comes to the next installment in the Sin storyline. I started liking this game with
the graphics and sound (Love the opening song), utilizing the HL2 engine. Which should
have helped this game stand out from the rest since the engine is already coded. All
that was left was to create a masterpiece... But after the first couple of minutes of wondering
what the hell is going on, it's just run and gun (or is it the other way around, LOL). With
little story going on, or a change of location. The whole game appears to take place in
one location that's all interconnected. And that just annoyed me! It feels too much like
HL1 using the HL2 engine.
You start off in a warehouse on a dock that seems to span a couple miles then goes
to a dock with a half submerged cargo ship that looks nothing like a cargo ship inside.
And that's where Viktor Radek seems to have his base located. Um why?!? I think the ship
levels were some of the worst in both design and for adding to the plot! Not only does
the ship look more like a laboratory "BUILDING" than a ship. And the mutant people was
interesting, but didn't really add anything just to be more like to HL. I would hate to be
Viktor Radek. If he needed to get to his office and to leave, would he have to go through
all the crap I did?!? Just an after thought for the level designer(s), in my opinion. Speaking
of an after thought, there was a huge bug that kept me from finishing this level. After
being stuck in front of Viktor, he would speak for a few min. then... NOTHING. I was like
what the hell! Then after doing a little searching I found this was really common and
I had to use the console to load the next map. Very annoying and should have been noticed
before release. Then goes to the sewers then a cave then to where you finally get picked
up by Jessica in that sweet ass car from the beginning (I wish the rest of the game would
have had as much care as the car did). Then the game "Finally" takes a turn for the better
by giving you a little change of pace by allowing you to shoot the bad guys while Jessica
does the driving. Unfortunately it only last two minutes before your back to the old run
and gun game play by going to the top of a huge skyscraper building located conveniently
near the last area we were just at :-(.. And as with the rest of the game Jessica is the
most useless side kick I've had in a game. She was mostly in the way and would just stand
there and get shot at. Then just disappear. At least the chick in HL2 was more useful and
I liked to just let her do all the dirty work ;-). But in this game, I much preferred to
just leave Jessica behind :-(.
Umm I did like how the enemies would respond to what I did or to the environment going on
around them. Very nice, had me laughing. A good example was the guys in jet packs! Couldn't
stop laughing when they got shot. Also the weapons felt pretty good and would have
loved double welding ;-)! I also miss the hacking that was in the first game, the phone thing
was kinda cool, but had no idea how to use it till the end :-(. Would rather had the hacking
or both!
I still haven't finished the game yet, but I'm guessing I'm at the end. Just trying to figure
out how to get to the last "Dope fish" Secret. I can see the arrow, but can't find the
"invisible" bridge.
But I would have felt like my money was well spent (got this at the same time as HL2:Episode
One, BTW), had more time and care gone into the making of this game. I would have also loved a
game versus this episode content Ala Valve :-(. I'm very disappointed with Ritual
with this game!! Ritual is known for very good games and pushing the technology forward. Two
games known as
, and
Star Trek Elite Force II
(waaay better
than the first one by Raven BTW)
were some of the best examples of what this company is known for. Taking the Quake3 engine and making
it a third or a great first person game, making the levels massive and full of interesting things to see
and do, adding 3D sky boxes (before, Unreal and Unreal Tournament was the only games/engine to do this),
great enemies and characters, and interesting story lines and info to push the game forward!! These two games
kept me playing all the way to the end non stop and I had to buy FAKK2 like five times because I would lend
it out and would have trouble getting it back ;-)!
But with this game, it's too much like HL2/HL2: Episode One :-(. Waaay too much like that game.
Your character doesn't talk... much if at all, we don't see the character, the story is just
non existent and it's told just like HL2. I want a different game than HL2, not the same!!
Now after stating my likes and dislikes, now I would like to get on my soap box and state
what I would like Ritual to do to try to save this doomed game.
I say scrap this whole version of Sin and start over! Please for the love of
god/satan/whatever!! From what I played, this isn't going to work. Use this as a test
game and move on :-)!
The story needs to be the major part of this game!! And explain what is going on. Unlike
what I just played.
Have the game take place all over the city. Not just one location. Kinda like
Vampire: Bloodlines. I have no problem with the game leading me around and not being able
to choose what to say. I don't want to have to physically travel from place to place.
In-game cut scenes do just fine!
Have it where you are taken to the hospital after being captured and injected with
something or Jessica would ask you if you wanted to go and you would say no and she would
take you to the station for more story info. The story of the game would be to figure
out what Viktor and Elexis are up to by asking people around the city doing some sleuthing
and checking and busting into some places owned by them. While JC and Jessica chimes in.
Not where you have to hit a button to hear them (didn't know about this till the middle
of the game, aaarggh).
Another example would be you get a tip off that something is going down at a local night
club and you and Jessica go to check it out. After going in and asking around, you hear
the bartender can get you access to upstairs. After talking to the bartender, you find
out he don't let your kind upstairs without a warrant. So you have to now figure out how
to get upstairs either with physical action (which could punish you in the long run ;-) )
or to be stealthy.
And another example is your in your apartment getting high on some drug or taking
something to counter act what was put in you, and you pass out only to be woken up by some
noise, and to find out that your place is under attack. So you have to escape your place
while it gets shot up by thugs and helicopters/jets.
Anything is better than just playing in the same area for an entire game. Just some
thoughts and my two cents. Pictures are for reference and to help my point across.
I want to thank anyone who read all of my rants and I hope Ritual reads this and takes
a second look at they're current game and rethink it over. Thanks for your time and peace out!
**Pictures are not property of Ritual or me. Pictures were found on the net and belong
to they'er respectfull authors. I messed with them in Photoshop only for reference.**

The French don't say cheese
By David Feela
I admit I'm no professional, but my compact digital camera captures such perfect pictures — even without smiling — and Paris is filled with such perfect scenes. The most photogenic city in the world. Just point and click. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, Arc de Triomphe, Versailles, the list goes on.
Did I mention my French crimescene photo? Ah, so now you're interested. Our guidebook advised tourists about a scam where a stranger appears to pick up a gold ring from the ground, almost from under your feet, then politely asks if you dropped it. You didn't, but as the ring is held up and more closely examined, it reveals a 24-carat stamp inside the band. The stranger even asks your help in translating what the marking says. Of course, he or she has no use for the ring, circumstances being somewhat dire at the time, and offers to let you have it for a small finder's fee.
The first time the scam happened to us, Pam and I were passing through Luxembourg Gardens. I nearly tripped over the person who reached toward my feet. In his hand, a gold ring! I stared at it, the sun glinting off its surface, wide as the palace gates at Versailles. He asked if I dropped it. I shook my head, no. He wondered what kind of marking was inside. I unfolded my reading glasses.
"24-carat," I said.
His eyes widened to the size of two dinner plates. I stood there, so mesmerized as the drama unfolded he could have unbuckled my belt and asked me to step out of my pants. Then I felt Pam's hand at my elbow, nudging me away. No thank you, she was saying, no thank you.
"Did you see that? Exactly as the guide book described it," I said, as we hurried away.
"Yes, and you played the part of a victim so well," she replied, a compliment that I felt lacked a certain authenticity.
The second time, we were outside the Louvre, strolling through Louie's gardens. While the next finder scrutinized the ring to locate the engraving, I pulled out my camera. "Just hold out your hand," I urged. The camera flashed. She closed her fist and hurried away with the ring.
It happened two more times. By then I was getting the hang of it, felt I could almost help train the crime ring. "Don't speak English" would be my first piece of advice, or practice speaking very poor English. And let's not everyone use rings. How about a 24-carat crucifix on a chain? Or a pocket knife? Tourists want variety, I'd preach. That's why they don't stay home.
By the fifth time I was getting frustrated, being taken for such an easy mark. The streets were full of tourists. Did someone stick a sign on my back: Pick me! Was I the tourist equivalent of a dodo, so obviously at the edge of extinction?
I had this idea, the next time I encountered a "ringer." Right away, quick as lightning, when he or she asked if I'd dropped it, I'd snatch the ring up and say, "Yeah, thanks, I was wondering where that went," and then disappear into the crowd.
Sadly, five times was the charm, as the French optimists say. All the way through Charles de Gaulle Airport, I tarried and tried to look pathetic. Nobody approached. Nobody offered me a chance at redemption.
I smiled as I filed through customs in Denver, declaring to the officer in charge a small package of Jalesburg cheese and one gold ring. Surprisingly, he let me through.
David Feela writes from rural Montezuma County, Colo.

Children like to have fun. It is in the kids' nature to be curious in the most common things and play with anything that they appreciate or find interesting. Parents often buy their kids toys for this purpose. These young boys and girls can play all day long, pretending to be superheroes, racers, party hosts, and Disney princesses. Some are collecting their own action figures, small cars, stuffed animals, dolls and even famous collectibles like Pokemon toys. For them, these toys aren't just simple playthings, these are ways to enhance their own imaginations and understand the adult's world, as they grow accordingly with it.
The idea of toys pretty much dates back many centuries ago, with people making appropriate playthings that don't just allow for fun, but also give kids a chance to mimic their parents and other adults. This is why kids often play with toy houses or doctors, or any other occupational toys when they are young. As these kids grow up, they exchange their baby toys with the right figurines that they can still play with accordingly, whether it is an action figure for boys or a doll set for girls.
So how can you, as a parent, choose the perfect toy to give as a present to your kid? Well, it all depends on what you feel your kid will want. You may opt to buy educational toys so that they can learn while playing. Or you could try going techie with them instead and buy electronic toys that you may also use in the future. The possibilities are endless for your kid, but that's because all children have a unique sense of wonder. Try bringing your kids to a toy shop, or show them pictures of available toys on the top online shopping site in the , and you'd see your children explode into happiness at the sight of Gundams, Hello Kittys, Nerf guns, and Strawberry Shortcakes.

R156510 to R238050
per person sharing
- Day 1
You'll arrive into Kasane, most probably on a flight from Johannesburg, where after clearing immigration and customs you will be met and assisted to your vehicle for the 15 minute road transfer to Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero for a three night stay. Chobe Chillwero is a luxury fifteen room retreat situated on the banks of the Chobe River which runs alongside the Chobe National Park, home to one of the largest populations of elephants in Africa. The lodge offers superb vistas from it's split level swimming pool and has the only full spa in Botswana. Chobe Chilwero is elegence and exclusivity personified and is the ideal way to start your safari adventure.
- Days 2 & 3
Game viewing activities as arranged by Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero in 4×4 safari vehicles or on safari boats on the Chobe River. Your typical safari day will start with an early wake-up call, just as dawn is breaking, followed by a light breakfast before you head out on your safari activity. Safaris activities are always arranged around dawn and dusk as this is when the wildlife especially the principal predators are active. Expect to be out for about two to three hours depending on what you see, with a break for early morning coffee and a comfort break, returning to camp around 10:00 with brunch served at around 11:30. The rest of your day will be at leisure, before you meet for afternoon tea and head out on your afternoon activity.
- Day 4
This morning you will transferred from Chobe Chilwreo by road back to Kasane in time for your light aircraft transfer to Mombo Camp or Little Mombo in the Okavango Delta. Little Mombo is located towards the north-eastern tip of Chiefs Island in the Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta. The Mombo family of camps are amongst the highest grade of camps in Botswana and are sited in one of the most game rich environments in the Okavango, being particularly known for its herds of Cape Buffalos and prides of lion. The camps overlook the savannah floodplains where large concentrations of game can be seen without even having to leave camp.
- Days 5 & 6
Game viewing activities as arranged by Mombo in 4×4 safari vehicles. Guided walks are not allowed within the Moremi Game Reserve. The area around Mombo offers some of the best game viewing in Bostwana and you may well see lion, cape buffalo, elephant & perhaps even rhino.
- Day 7
Light aircraft transfer from the Mombo airstrip to Abu Camp, just outside the Moremi Game Reserve but still within the Okavango Delta. Abu has just six tented en-suite rooms set on the edge of a seasonal flooded (May to September) lagoon, which teems with plains game and bird-life. The light and airy rooms are well spaced with each offering a tree-shaded deck all with views over the lagoon. The communal parts of Abu feature a well-stocked library and study for those seeking some solitude. Apart from 4×4 safaris, walks and mokoro trips (water level dependent) Abu also offers elephant interaction, walking through the bush with the herd. For a really unique experience have an overnight in Abu's 'star bed' hide, situated directly above the elephant enclosure becoming as close to being part of the herd as you you can possibly be. Abu is a truly special experience.
- Days 8 & 9
Game viewing activities as arranged by Abu, with activities including game drives in open top 4×4 safari vehicles by day or night, guided walks (with or without elephants for company!) and mokoro excursions (water level dependent). Packs of wild dog (African Hunting Dogs) traverse through Abu's concession as do hyena and scores of plains game.
- Day 10
Light aircraft flight to Maun in time to connect with your onward international flight – or perhaps an extension to the Kalahari Desert for something totally different?

The right to an unchanging mean global temperature? Preindustrial atmospheric CO2? What?
A warmist opines at the Guardian:
We marched against the recent attack on voting rights. We demanded justice in the face of Stand Your Ground laws and racial profiling. We marched to raise awareness on unemployment, poverty, gun violence, immigration, and gay rights. And we called for action on climate change.
Chances are, when you think about civil rights, environmental issues aren't on the radar screen. But stop and think about it. Remember Hurricane Katrina?
The hurricane that leveled New Orleans showed that severe weather in low-income neighborhoods and communities of colour is a matter of life and death. The images from the storm are hard to forget: bodies floating in water for days and thousands of people stranded without shelter, waiting for help that was too slow to come.
It's not difficult to see how injustice and inequality played out during Hurricane Katrina. Thousands of people were subjected to needless loss, suffering, even death — just because they didn't have the resources to prepare and escape the storm.

I will be posting more progress shots of this current painting over the next week or so, so if you would like to see how it develops, be sure to stop by again. Why not bookmark or subscribe to the blog via the link on the right? Anyway enjoy, and check back for more when you can.
This year, apart from my usual size paintings of 12 x 16 and 16 x 20 inch paintings, I intend to paint some larger works, up to perhaps 30 x 30 maybe. That might not be so large for some artists, but they have to fit into my car, and I have to be able to sell them too!! So have to be practical also. However I believe there is a shortage of larger paintings such as would be above a fireplace or as a centrepiece in a room available at a reasonable price, so I intend to offer something along those lines. So that will be something to try in 2010....

Heart disease is still the number one killer of Australians - and researchers at The University of Western Australia want to meet people who have had, or care for someone, with heart disease, heart failure or atrial fibrillation.
The researchers are holding two 'community conversations' about heart disease to investigate the effectiveness of preventive medications.
Associate Professor Frank Sanfilippo from the Cardiovascular Research Group, School of Population Health, said: "We are really interested in people coming along to one of the conversations and tell us how they manage their heart disease and medicines.
"Talking to people about their experiences in managing medications for these conditions will provide researchers with an understanding about any issues and what is important to the community."
"Each year around 55,000 Australians suffer a heart attack, the most common form of heart disease," Associate Professor Sanfilippo said. "This is around 150 heart attacks a day, or one every 10 minutes. Some of these are fatal."
Associate Professor Sanfilippo said there is strong evidence that certain medications are successful in preventing a second heart attack and improving survival. "However, we do not know if people continue to take their medicines for a long time after being discharged from hospital."
The new research led by UWA will examine three heart conditions: coronary heart disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation (a type of rapid and irregular heart beat) to try to find out the effectiveness of preventive medications. This includes finding out how long patients continue to take their prescribed medicines.
"This is especially important for women, given the recent media release by the Heart Foundation stating that women who survive a first heart attack are more likely than men to die of a second heart attack," Associate Professor Sanfilippo said.
The 'community conversations' are on Wednesday 9 July and Wednesday 6 August between 12noon and 2.30pm in the Niche at the Queen Elizabeth Medical Centre in Nedlands. Payment for out-of-pocket expenses and a light lunch are provided.
For more information or to RSVP for this event, please e-mail Hayley Haines or call 6488 8176 Monday to Wednesday or 9489 7742 Thursday to Friday.

This article describes general characteristics and behavior of the Analytics monitor API. The API is described in detail in the API Reference.
API calls outside Start/Stop are ignored
Any API calls placed prior to calling
Start are simply ignored and will return without having any effect. The same goes for API calls made after
Stop. (With two exceptions mentioned later.)
This means that you do not have to write code like this, because the call to
TrackFeature is already ignored if the monitor has not yet been started:
if (monitor.Status.IsStarted)
Disabling Analytics
It also means that the only thing you need to do to disable Analytics entirely is simply to not call
This can be relevant if the end-user says "no" to tracking and you therefore wish to disable Analytics. In that case you do not need to place protective conditions around the API calls like this:
if (isAnalyticsEnabled)
if (isAnalyticsEnabled)
if (isAnalyticsEnabled)
Instead, you only need to just disable the
Start call and let all the other API calls be. Like so:
// Only enable Analytics if user approves
if (isAnalyticsEnabled)
There are two exceptions to this rule:
- Calling
SetInstallationInfowill work even outside
- Some platforms have an explicit disposal call
Releasethat should be called after
API methods never fail
When talking about API method return codes it makes sense to look at two groups:
- Factory methods to create monitor, settings, storage- and logging-objects
- Instance methods on those created objects, e.g. on the monitor object
All API methods do rigorous parameter checking to ensure that they are valid. It is harmless to pass e.g. null to an API method expecting a string, so you do not need to do so to guard against passing invalid parameters.
Factory methods
If a factory create method (
CreateMonitor, etc) fails then it will produce an error on the platform's standard debug console and indicate the failure in this manner:
- All .NET, AppBuilder, Java/Android, Javascript: throw an
- Windows (C, C++), iOS, MacOS: return
For instance, if you pass the string
"Hello World" as the product key to CreateSettings on .NET then write the reason for that to the
System.Diagnostics.Debug output and throw an exception that you should catch.
Instance methods
Instance methods (
TrackFeature, etc) never return errors if something is wrong. They are all void, so you never have to check their return codes (they have none) nor wrap them in
try-catch exception handlers to ensure they do not throw exceptions (they will not). You just call them as they are.
In case of errors it will be logged to the logger specified by the settings. You can read more about this in the article on Logging Monitor Activity. By default there is no logging enabled and you must explicitly setup logging if you wish to do so.
For instance, if you pass a null string or a string exceeding the maximum feature name length to
TrackFeature, then it will simply not track anything and will write the reason to the logger.
Rare error cases are not trapped
Not all error conditions can be caught by the monitor API. Here are some exceptions:
- On .NET the
StackOverflowExceptioncannot be caught
- Invoking methods on an invalid object (null or invalid pointer on e.g. C++) will typically fail without the monitor being involved at all
- On Windows C++, both C++ and SEH exceptions are handled internally but some situations are uncatchable, such as passing an unaligned pointer argument that causes a SIGBUS signal.
API Calls are Non-Blocking
API calls are, with one exception, "non-blocking". This means that you do not have to e.g. create background threads to call the API methods for fear that they may take too long.
The one exception is
Stop, which can be blocking for up to 2 seconds (by default). This is by design so the monitor can deliver accumulated statistics to the Analytics servers before the application shuts down.
You can read much more about this in the article on Monitor API Overhead.
Monitor is exposed an an interface
On all platforms, the monitor is exposed as an interface.
This means that you can easily substitute your own version of the monitor instance, if so desired. This can be useful for mocking and stubbing the monitor in unit tests.
