"FOREIGN TRAVEL" - This essay tells the great use of foreign travel.
In the early 19th century traveling to a foreign destination was a long and expensive journey by sea. Since the introduction of international airlines the travels became easier but more expensive. Although it is, there is a vast difference from the past until now which is reasonable. People obtain their own comfortable seats, have assistances for drinks and food, a proper toilet etc. Many people may not afford this but it is a well-justified price to pay for.
The difference of the cost in traveling in the past and now is of a very huge amount. Although it is expensive people at present now earn higher wages and the cost of travel is affordable.
Traveling is an excellent way to open our minds; learning about cultures, economy, histories... Travel has opened the world up and allowed us to stand face to face with the great pyramids, or the colloseum in Rome and to row down the Amazon River bringing us closer to ancient cultures and therefore expanding our minds.
Foreign travel is a form of relaxation, business and exploration. Most people travel to relax and have a good time experiencing a different atmosphere. Other travel for business for example many purchase items from the foreign place and bring it back to sell it at a profitable price. Many people who have less to think of normally travel to explore the world, discovering cultures, history, activities etc.
In conclusion, foreign travel has given people knowledge about ancient cultures and expanding their minds. Although it has, it has cost dearer due to improved technology but has provided people with comfort, less time traveling and also making it easier for everyone.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things – Independent or Dependent?

5 min readIn 2017 we saw the rise and fall of many overhyped trends. But [...]
In 2017 we saw the rise and fall of many overhyped trends. But despite being two to five years away from mainstream adoption according to Gartner's 2017 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, few technologies received more hype than Artificial Intelligence; and for good reason.
Akin to how humans adapt to their environments over time, companies must do the same to keep a competitive advantage within their respective industries. This « method of survival » often involves the implementation of new processes and technologies. However, it is often falsely assumed that the implementation of new cutting-edge technologies is reserved for traditional tech companies.
This article from CNBC goes into detail about how all companies – whether they specialize in food, finance, wearables, or other – are all tech companies. You can use an app to order food and book a table at a restaurant, invest your money, track your biometrics, and much more.
Large corporations and small start-ups are leveraging three hot technologies, either through acquisitions or in-house development, to bolster their business strategies and gain an advantage over their competitors. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things; buzzwords that you've certainly heard by now, but what do they mean and how do they work together?
Umbrella term for machines which have the ability to perform functions, mimicking how humans would carry out the same tasks. Machine Learning falls under « Generalized AI »; a reality where computers could perform any task that a human can, and typically more efficiently and effectively.
(AI applications: Amazon and Netflix both use predictive technologies to suggest items to purchase and movies or shows to watch, respectively.)
An application (or subset) of AI that allows computers to train and learn for themselves with data that they're fed or given access to.
(ML applications: fraud detection used by credit card companies by finding anomalies in data sets autonomously, facial recognition software, etc.)
An ecosystem of connected devices – ranging from smartwatches to smart refrigerators and HVAC systems – that can transfer data over a network without human-to-computer interaction.
While some companies are working to incorporate these technologies around their already-existing business plans, other companies have been built on the foundation of AI, ML, and IoT tech; mnubo is an example of one such company. mnubo is best described as an IoT data analytics company that leverages AI and ML to transform connected product data into advanced insights.
Connected products are outfitted with a plethora of sensors which collect data. mnubo ingests the product data into its SmartObjects platform and then runs analytics on the data. As a result, product manufacturers receive insights (meaningful information) from their product data that they can use to improve their business, their product, the customer experience, etc.
Depending on the nature of data that a connected object is collecting, mnubo can either perform descriptive, or soft, analytics on a product's data, or advanced analytics; AI and ML come into play for the latter. Below are examples of features in mnubo's end-to-end solution that use AI and ML.
Smart devices collect sensor data, but the data has little worth if it isn't being leveraged for data analysis (I wrote about that here). Soft analytics are useful, but there is limited value in knowing who is using your products and where they're being used. Advanced analytics come into the equation if the goal is to monetize your data.
Deloitte Global predicts that by end-2016 more than 80 of the world's 100 largest enterprise software companies by revenues will have integrated cognitive technologies into their products, a 25 percent increase on the prior year. By 2020, we expect the number will rise to about 95 of the top 100.
Running advanced analytics requires data science expertise to extract insights from product data. This is where AI and ML technologies become relevant, as they're used by data scientists to train models that can sift through aggregates of data autonomously, finding anomalies, trends, faults, and more.
Aside from the analytics angle, by leveraging an AI layer, smart devices can train other smart devices based on their « experience » in the field and the sensor data they've collected; peer-to-peer training, if you will. For example, HVAC 'A' can teach HVAC 'B' how to maximize energy efficiency. But how? HVAC 'A' will self-learn the most efficient way of cooling down an office building by analyzing its sensor data (ie: internal/external temperature, fan speed, etc.), and then teach its « peers » how to do the same.
Google used AI to manage energy usage in one of its data centers in 2016. The result: a 40% reduction in the amount of energy used for cooling the data center, and overall power consumption cut by 15%.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will facilitate advanced data analysis, especially for smart devices; mnubo is at the forefront of this undertaking. However, we still have a narrow understanding of how these technologies, together, will revolutionize industries as a whole.
Interested in more examples of AI-driven use cases? Learn how mnubo is monetizing product data with artificial intelligence!

As You Dream Of Tankers On The Couch
A wily wind arrives full-blown over the tankers --
Perhaps representatives of "hard, cold reality" --
Not that you would see that from here but
The waves pull back, as if afflicted with doubt --
nah! A trick of the mind.
Really we are just here in this living room
Studying all kinds of ignorance including
The idyllic afternoon wherein the angels
Discuss sutras until midnight and suddenly the morning light breaks,
Never saying anything like, O love
Where are we now? Because neither of us have time
For that kind of absolute bullshit, right? Or do we? Because you,
As usual, yes, you, you speed me along
In the general direction of myself, to spare me what
Thick skin the harsh winds of time have created, calming
The nerves of the rivers of love conflating
Incessantly into an ocean of caring
And yes! Yeah! I! I!
I, we, you remain saddened by eternity -- but here! Here! Here!
Which only means, or tries to mean, I love you, yeah.
But hey, you knew that all along, didn't you? As
The wind blowing against and then from the tankers
Turns a sudden dark dappled green and heads north.

I was by Fujinoya on Central Ave the other day. The first time since the had new owners take over almost a year ago. I found that both quality and serving size were worse. Sushi/sashimi selection was much less, and lessor quality. Just not that flavorful. I am a traditionalist so I had mostly sashimi with some nigiri, no maki. Also the lunch special was mediocre, not enough food. Very small portions, including the white rice. Back before thhi visit the lunch special, both daily, and the you pick bento box, was fillling. This time I ate everything and was still so hungry that a few minutes later I ordered a full sushi/sashimi meal, plus extra, and still left hungry.

The nation swoons over gallant little Leicester and the London-centric media is wrapped up in the titanic battle between Arsenal and Spurs.
It's like everyone has forgotten Manchester City, and what they did in 2012, and 2014. And that suits Manchester City just fine.
Not that this second-gear dismissal of cast-adrift Villa is any evidence that we are about to witness a Blue surge. But we know they have it in them.
Last week, a harrowing statistic emerged, showing that City's record against the top teams is every bit as bad as that of Villa, indicating they are in fourth place through an ability to punish teams in the bottom half.
Some proffered this as evidence that the Blues do not deserve to win the league, as they have lost to Liverpool and Tottenham twice, as well as flopping against Leicester, West Ham, Arsenal and Stoke.
Of course, you could turn that on its head and suggest that teams who cannot see off the worst teams in the league don't deserve to win it.
The basic fact is that the team that deserves to lift that trophy in May is the one that finished top of the pile, regardless of who they beat to gather the required points.
Watch: Pellegrini on City's title ambitions
Evidence of City's demise was that they had suffered three consecutive league defeats for the first time in over seven years.
That had conveniently ignored the fact that this sorry run was punctuated by two fine performances, in Kiev and at Wembley.
It also failed to notice that the Blues have the easiest run-in of the top six.
It seemed to come as a surprise to the Match of the Day pundits that City's win means if they win their game in hand – away to Newcastle – they would go above Arsenal and two points behind Spurs.
At half time of this game, City fans were among those who had written off their chances as the Blues had failed to break down a stubborn Villa inspired by former Etihad favourites Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards.
- MORE CITY: Manchester City player ratings: Aguero and Navas sparkle but one Blue only managed 5/10 against Aston Villa
- MORE CITY: WATCH: Lionel Messi style goal by Manchester City wonder kid Brahim Diaz
But the fact is that Sergio Aguero had twice been denied by brilliant Brad Guzan saves, Wilfried Bony had missed a sitter and the Villa goal was under constant siege.
Such pressure was bound to create cracks, and weary limbs, and after the break the Blues eased away with the game as Yaya Toure, an Aguero brace and a welcome goal from sub Raheem Sterling, turned it into a procession.
They could even afford Aguero to spurn a hat-trick by firing a penalty against the post.
City's next four games are trips to Norwich and Bournemouth and home games with United and West Brom. They are perfectly capable of turning that run into 12 points.
The league table could look very different in a month's time.

Dmitry Bykov - Interview
RBTH: This is your second year as a visiting lecturer at Princeton University. Among other things, your lectures explore how the image of the U.S. changed in Russian and Soviet literature. Could you please tell us briefly what it was like in the 19th and 20th centuries, and what image of America is dominant in contemporary writing?
Dmitry Bykov: Those were one-off lectures that I read at my students' request. And I once delivered this lecture at my favorite Brooklyn Public Library, whose assistance in digging out some rare sources was invaluable.
In modern literature, the prevalent image of the U.S. derives from Anatoly Ivanov's novel The Eternal Call (written in 1971-76). You won't believe it but everything that we are being fed today about a Dulles Plan to destroy Russian spirituality in fact comes from the monologue of émigré Lakhnovsky, a former White Guard officer. [Editor's note: the Dulles plan refers to a conspiracy theory in which the CIA is attempting to undermine the morality and cultural mores of the Soviet Union.] An America that is undermining our selfhood and sawing away at our spiritual binds was invented by a Soviet reactionary, who must have had some talent after all since his ideas have quite taken root.
Generally speaking, at times of uplift, Russia is always interested in America, is not afraid of America, and is a partner for America, whereas when things are down, it becomes susceptible to conspiracy theories and suspiciousness and is dreaming of shutting itself away from the rest of the world. Incidentally, the same is true of the United States, there is a lot of symmetry between us.
RBTH: Are American students different from Russian ones?
D. B.: When giving an assignment to an American student, you can be sure that it will be done well and on time. Ambition is the best motivation. An American student knows that for their career it is better to be active and to talk a lot. Whereas a Russian student knows that for their career it is better to keep silent, or at least to bide one's time.
RBTH: What is your overall impression of the education system in the U.S.?
D. B.: Very good. The beauty of the Dewey system is that it teaches students to know and learn not facts but sources, not details but the system. An American student selects quite a narrow segment, in which they know everything, and is quite well-versed in adjacent areas of knowledge. Furthermore, they can find material on any question in a matter of 24 hours because they know where to look.
There is much less control in the U.S. education system and no incentives apart from personal growth. Relations between professors and students are more relaxed and friendly, there is less hierarchy.
An American student is like Hermione, while a Russian student is more like Harry: everybody knows that he is a hero and a martyr but it does not show in his studies. He is just different. And he is very good at Quidditch.
RBTH: Which Russian authors, both contemporary and classical, are popular in the USA? To what do you attribute their popularity?
D. B.: Viktor Pelevin's works are translated in the U.S. a lot. Others who are well-known are Ludmila Petrushevskaya, Fazil Iskander, Andrei Bitov. Sometimes some young authors are published too. Readers also remember Yury Trifonov and Vasily Aksyonov.
But Russian literature has for a long time not generated such a surge in new styles, themes and talents as, say, Latin American literature did in the 1960s. That surge had many causes: cultural, historical, partly political. Ours is yet to come.

Amritanjali CD, Vol. 59Amma's Devotional Songs recorded live
Amma instructs us to pray to God with our hearts full of one-pointed devotion. In the video "I am Amma's Baby," Amma demonstrates this type of prayer: "Divine Mother, give me strength; Divine Mother, give me devotion; Divine Mother, give me pure love; O Divine Mother, protect me by giving me perfect faith!" These are the opening words of the bhajan Sakti Do included on this tape. Listening to and singing along with the songs on this cassette will help infuse our hearts with longing for the Divine. Amma says, "God alone is eternal. Our life's goal is to attain Him. You should not forget this. Singing the Divine Name is the best way. One should imagine that one's Beloved Deity is standing everywhere in the room. One should pray, 'O Lord, are You not seeing me? O God, please take me on Your lap. I am Your child. I have no one but You as my refuge. Do not abandon me but always dwell in my heart."

Hennessy Upgrades the Yukon Denali into a 650 HP Supercharged Rocket
The 2016 GMC Yukon is a popular SUV option for families in need of a spacious cabin and comfortable ride, but Hennessy Performance has recently taken the Yukon Denali to the next level with its HPE650 supercharged upgrade.
DIY Car Care: Use these helpful hints to keep your vehicle in tip-top condition
While the Yukon Denali comes straight from the factory with a 6.2-liter V8 engine rated at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, Hennessey has found a way to increase the Denali's output up to a robust 650 horsepower and 658 lb-ft of torque. Hennessey accomplished this feat by adding a 2.9-liter supercharger system, stainless steel Catback exhaust system, and a high flow intercooling system, among other modifications. The HPE650 GMC Yukon Denali also underwent dyno tuning and road testing, where Hennessey discovered its custom Denali could rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and could cover a quarter mile in a mere 12.9 seconds.
Yukon owners who opt for the HPE650 supercharged upgrade will also see "Hennessey," "Supercharged," and "HPE650" badges added to the exterior of their vehicles. For even more style, Hennessey also offers upgraded 22-inch wheels and high-performance Brembo front brake calipers.
Hennessey seems to be so confident in its HPE650 supercharged upgrade that it even offers a 3-year/36,000 mile limited warranty with its work.
To compliment all that power, the new GMC Yukon Denali has also won a number of prestigious awards. GMC was recently named the Most Refined Brand in the annual Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards and KBB.com specifically credited the Denali sub-brand as a big reason why GMC won the award for the third straight year. In addition, the 2016 Yukon Denali was also named the Best Large SUV for Families by US News & World Report.
According to GMC's official site, the 2016 Yukon Denali carries a starting MSRP of $65,325, but Hennessey has yet to release pricing information for the HPE650 supercharged upgrade. Needless to say, buyers will be paying a pretty penny for this high-performance SUV that's already won so many awards before any upgrades.

Samuel Huist is easily the tallest member (6-feet 5-inches) of the The News Wheel team. He enjoys listening to hip-hop music and loves watching NBA basketball. Sam is also a Dayton, Ohio native and doesn't seem to mind that distinction as much anymore. His first car was a 1996 Ford Taurus he could barely fit in. Like many young folks, he seemed more concerned about the radio in his first car than actually doing the work to maintain an automobile, so sadly it's no longer with us.

- 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 10 ounce box frozen quartered artichoke hearts, defrosted or 1 14-ounce can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound fettuccine
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley tops
- 3 tablespoons (a small handful) slivered or blanched almonds, toasted
- 1 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped
- 1/3 cup (a rounded generous handful) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil for the pasta.
Trim off the root ends and top four inches of the leeks. Cut them in half lengthwise then into slices 1/4-inch thick. Wash them vigorously, separating the layers to free grit in either a colander under cold running water or in large bowl of cold water. Drain and pat dry.
Heat 2 tablespoons EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and artichokes, saut 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
Salt the boiling pasta water and drop in fettuccine.
Place zest, parsley, almonds, garlic and cheese in food processor and season with salt and pepper. Turn processor on and stream in 1/4 cup EVOO until it combines into a thick pesto sauce.

An intoxicated trespasser was arrested after being caught swimming in the pool at University of Florida president Bernie Machen's private residence.
If you happened to have seen several police cars and a fire truck Wednesday morning at the University of Florida president's house, don't worry -- Bernie Machen is fine.
But an intoxicated trespasser wasn't so fine. University Police Capt. Jeff Holcomb said police and an emergency medical technician were dispatched to the house on West University Avenue regarding a woman in the swimming pool. The woman was not an invited guest and was being removed from the property, Holcomb said.
Trespassers occasionally decide to use the pool, a practice that seems to have picked up once Machen moved into a private residence, Holcomb said.

I have done so much better than I thought I would.
I just feel like crying right now and I have no idea why. I don't even want a cigarette, I just feel so sad. Nothing has happened to make me feel this way.
Ok so things aren't great between me and my husband and haven't been since I gave up. I have slept on the sofa ever since and really distanced myself from him (I have no idea why) and maybe I am just tired as I have hardly slept since giving up.
I have just been to see the nurse and got more patches and she said I was doing so well but all I want to do is curl up and cry. I wouldn't mind if I was craving a cigarette but I just feel so depressed.
I must sound like a right nutjob! The dreams aren't helping either as most seem to involve my husband and they are so vivid, last night he was going to kill me with a screwdiver :eek:, anyway he came home from work and I barely spoke to him so he has gone to bed for a sleep.
I just wish I felt the same way two days running!

Scientists as Policy Advisors
Many non-economist science bloggers have hailed Obama's appointments of scientists to key positions within his administration. But some people, including economists, have been a bit more hesitant about at least one appointment. Likewise I am not so sanguine about the appointments. Yes, it signals that Obama wants the best scientific information to guide his policies. But, is it enough? How many of those scientists are actually good policy wonks? Do any of them acknowledge how important the science of economics is to their policy proposals? There are unfortunately too many otherwise good scientists who have no knowledge of economics but are otherwise more than happy to make pronouncements on economics.
I hate to pick on Ethan Siegel over at Starts With A Bang! since he does really good work there. But, he also just happened to give me a perfect example. In "Can the Moon Help Solve Earth's Problems?" he asks:
How many humans can the planet support before we need to either reduce the population or expand to other worlds?
Ethan seems to claim we are near or approaching the limit:
We've already talked about how forests and wild places are needed to remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and reverse global warming, but let's put that aside. We've got lots of arable land on this planet, and as the population goes up, more and more of that land is needed for farming, to feed the world. In order to do that, we need fewer forests: ...And we need to take that land and turn it into farmland for production of staple foods: ...The Earth currently produces staple foods (rice, grains, cereals, potatoes, etc.) in quantities of 2,264 million metric tonnes per year, enough to feed about 10 billion people assuming everyone eats a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet. ... So assuming we want to do the following:
* Keep our forests,
* Continue reproducing, and
* Continue feeding ourselves (and eating the good food, too),
what are our options? We clearly need more land, and we clearly can't take any more from Earth, as we need more wild places and forests to help repair the damage that's already been done. Where should we look?
Mu. The big problem an economist sees is the use of current food supply as different than food demand. But price theory is very clear: Supply equals demand in a clearing market. Food is a clearing market, even adding in various nuances such as political distortions of the market, transaction costs, and so forth. This factoid is worthless for calculating carrying capacity. There are a number of things that should be considered in calculating carrying capacity of the Earth.
First, is the land being cultivated being completely used? No. A significant amount of cultivated land is laying fallow each year in the U.S. I have heard estimates that the U.S. alone could feed the entire world with just the land currently cultivated. In the rest of the world, the yield per acre is nowhere near as high as in the U.S. and Canada - not because the soil or climate is better in North America, but just because it is not necessarily economic for farmers in other places to use the latest, greatest farming methods and tools. As developing nations further develop, the yield per acre of farmland will greatly increase.
Second, there is no evidence that yield per acre is anywhere near a maximum, even in the U.S. and Canada. The amount of cultivated land in the U.S. has actually been shrinking for a long time, yet total yields are still increasing.
Third, what about the land that is currently not arable but could be made so? What about using the oceans and seas for growing food?
Last but not least: what new developments - inventions, improved methods, whatever - will come along in the future that makes the whole thing moot? I won't even make a guess at the possibilities. The only thing I know is that as long as we have relatively free markets we'll get unpredictable new technologies.
My best estimate is that humanity will have to worry about the Sun's upcoming mid-life crisis long before we have to worry about population problems. Fortunately we have a few hundred million years before that becomes a problem.
Anyway, that was just to point out that a perfectly fine scientist should not be in a policy leadership role. On the other hand, I'd like to think that a rocket scientist with an interest in economics and political science would be perfectly fine for the job. So a scientist in a top policy role can be perfectly fine, but there is no guarantee. We need to look at each of them individually before we get excited.
I do not know enough about most of the appointees to really form an opinion on each of them individually. One that does stand out is John Holdren. In 1980 Holdren sided with and assisted Paul Ehrlich in establishing the terms of a bet with Julian Simon. The bet was whether certain commodity prices would go up or down over a decade. Simon handily won the bet, but as best as I can tell, Holdren did not and still does not accept that the reason Ehrlich lost was that Simon and most economists were and are right about the basic concept that on average each person creates more goods than that person consumes. Or to say it in a slightly different way - Holdren does not accept that on average, each additional person in the world makes all of us better off. And that is very dangerous.
We now have in our hands—really, in our libraries—the technology to feed, clothe, and supply energy to an ever-growing population for the next seven billion years.
(Simon "The State of Humanity: Steadily Improving" 1995)
Not to mention that space
Not to mention that space colonization, while cool and useful to preserve the specie, does not alleviate the problem of overpopulation at all. It allows total human population to grow, but unless you can ship people out for dirt cheap you still have a problem.
population is not the problem
Many American communities would be self sustaining if home owners tore up their lawns and planted veggies. Their lazy children can pull weeds. Rabbits can be raised in one stall of their three car garage.
Far as I know, there is still sufficient land area in Texas to provide a 5000 sq ft building lot for every family in the world. We have a 5000 sq ft city lot and could grow a third of our chow if necessary.
If high rise condos were built on existing freeway right of ways we could house every person in the US.
Nothing frosts me like seeing govt employees mowing lawns in govt housing projects. The residents should be planting veggies.
Many American communities
Many American communities would be self sustaining if...
Why would you want a community to be self-sustaining? This seems incredibly ill-advised to me.
Population is a problem
We are bacteria.
Many American communities would be self sustaining if home owners tore up their lawns and planted veggies. Their lazy children can pull weeds. Rabbits can be raised in one stall of their three car garage.
Well, that's all fine and dandy... but like many ideals I've read on this site. You gotta "get real" here.
I can come up with a lot of self sustaining solutions to all kinds of problems, but only if I presume the human species to actually "act" in a certain way.
One of those ways would be "if they had no choice," or "imperative for survival".
So yes, population is a problem. You're not going to motivate our nation to dig up their lawns and be gardeners.
Theoretical food production
It's difficult to decide what we ought to do to solve the problem. Will more efficient farming practices help? Undoubtedly, yes; but how much? And what are we going to do about the problem that people keep reproducing and taking up more and more land?
There are too many factors in play that are all important, I think, to only consider the economic supply/demand problem, or to only consider the land-area problem or the way that land is being used.
The fact is we've never had a world like this before. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that the biggest problem facing the world was overpopulation. When he said that, the world's population was just about one-sixth of what it is now.
I agree with nearly all of what you've said here, but worrying about the overpopulation problem is something that I think the evidence clearly shows is an immediate concern; our impact on the planet has been substantial and is getting worse over time.
Proving that he didn't know what he was talking about
Martin Luther King, Jr., said that the biggest problem facing the world was overpopulation. When he said that, the world's population was just about one-sixth of what it is now.
Which just goes to show that even MLK can get things wrong.
Eighty miles out of most
Eighty miles out of most cities will show how much uninhabited land there is. However, overpopulation doesn't necessarily mean: Planet Earth at (more than) Maximum Occupancy.
But it can.

Services restored after water main break
Services restored after water main break
OMAHA, Neb. —
A water main break caused a mess early Friday afternoon near 85th and Center streets.
The break soaked the street outside the Frederick Square shopping area.
"It just started bubbling out of the ground, and all the rock just came tumbling out. We're like, 'Wow, what's going on?' It's not stopping. I'm like, 'Mom call 911,'" witness Marilyn Jensen said.
The Metropolitan Utilities District fixed the problem and restored services.

While tromping around in some fields and woods without proper clothing (O.K., I was clothed; I had on loafers, socks, slacks, etc.), I picked up a few insects. My family has routinely joked about returning from the area that I visited bearing "chicks and tiggers," and I did. I removed two ticks, but I missed at least one chigger.
False remedies for chiggers abound. I spent a little time searching for evidence-based remedies, and I think examining them may provide a good analogy for examining approaches to remedying Learning Disabilities. I might pursue this line of reasoning some time….
Anyway, if you're looking for information about treating chiggers, a Wikipedia entry includes a section on the topic in its coverage of harvest mites; it's more prevention than treatment, but it may prove useful. More generally, I came upon a site describing first aid myths.
Update: There are other sites with additional information listed here.

Cyclonic Storm Kyant will unleash heavy rain and strong winds on parts of eastern India later this week.
The storm could put Diwali celebrations at risk from Friday through the weekend.
Prior to Kyant, the northern Indian Ocean did not have a named cyclone since May.
The newly formed storm will continue to track westward through Thursday before turning more to the southwest and approaching the southern coastline of Andhra Pradesh on Friday and Saturday.
Kyant is expected to slowly strengthen into Thursday as it remains over the open ocean.
Despite strengthening, the worst conditions will remain over the Bay of Bengal where torrential rain and strong winds will be a danger to any boats in the area.
No significant impacts to land are expected through at least Thursday.
Kyant is then expected to weaken as it approaches the southeast coastline of India late in the week.
Even though Kyant will track well to the south, rain is possible from Kolkata and southern Bangladesh southward to Visakhapatnam through Friday. No widespread flooding is expected in these areas as rainfall will generally be less than 25 mm (1.00 inch).
The worst conditions are expected from Friday into Saturday as the storm approaches the coast of India between Ongole and Chennai. Locally damaging winds will be possible with gusts over 80 km/h (50 mph) within 120 km (75 mi) of where the storm makes landfall.
The storm may stall near the coast through the weekend and weaken before drifting southward as it continues to unleash flooding rainfall near the coast of eastern India.
Widespread heavy rainfall will elevate the risk for flooding as rainfall totals 50-100 mm (2-4 inches) with localized amounts over 200 mm (8 inches) are expected.
Areas at highest risk for flooding include Chirala, Ongole, Nellore and Chennai.
"While heavy rainfall is possible in Chennai, flooding similar to the catastrophic 2015 event is not expected," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Jason Nicholls said.
Kyant could impact Diwali festivities across eastern India due to rain and wind. The festival runs from 28 October to 1 November.
Separate surges of tropical moisture in the Bay of Bengal could result in another tropical system forming anytime from late this week through next week. Impact areas include Myanmar, the Andaman and Nicobar islands, Bangladesh and eastern India.

Roar of Monsoon Clouds
We were on a short trek on unknown trails of Dhauladhar Hills. On trails just like the silky, black and smooth hair of a women, I was in love with the lush green grass all around and then there were Columbine flowers and some snake hood like plants too
The trail is all well up to the cabins of Kunali Power House up hill from where water flow is controlled for Power House.
|snake plant
..and we even came across the metal feeder
of the so called Micro Hydro, Kulani Power House one of the Himalayan Parasite.
|Kunali Power House ~ one of The Human Parasites killing the Himalayas
Since this was our leisurely trek to check the alternate trails, we had intended to go no further than the cabins but as the curiosity called we were getting pulled farther and farther. The views as you must know were and are "Beautiful Above the Ground".
|Inbound Monsoon Rain Clouds
At one point we sat down for lunch and later moved further. We climbed upward and skipped the trail that would have led us to another control point of Kunali Power House on Awa rivulet (Khadd) and from there to Satchali Pass.
As we were loitering around it started raining and hurried under an overhang rock for shelter. The rain lasted only for an hour and as it stopped we moved farther and we forgot that it was meant to be a short trek.
Since we had already lost the trail (which we had planned to check before our second trek to Satchali Pass on coming days) we settled down at one hill and enjoyed the views and even picked some pure herb plants Diplazium esculentum or Lingra or Lingroo for dinner.
Finally we got the view of another trail, which we had skipped and found that it was going straight to second control room and dam of Kunali Power House. But by the time we realized it was 03:00 pm and we decided to retreat and through the boulders and shrubs we managed to trace back to the main trail. By then the sky was again covered with dark monsoon rain clouds and it'd started raining and then our main concern was to cross the little stream (which also supply water to the Kunali Power House feeder) before the rain starts to full.
|Diplazium esculentum or Lingra or Lingroo
We hurried and crossed the stream and as we crossed the little stream it started raining heavy and we had to take shelter under an overhang boulder...the sound of rain made us feel like as if we were sitting beside a high tide sea shore and the thundering clouds just added to the fuel since we were in the middle of the forest and in high mountain, you can just imagine how it feels to hear the loud thundering clouds just over your head and the sound of heavy rain..and with in 20 minutes the little stream had turned in to moderate+ stream and it was accompanied by another stream similar to Bhagsunag waterfall which had appeared from nowhere.
But it was good and after about 1 hour or so..we saw the peak of Waru Pass, the door of High Winds and surprisingly the weather up in Waru Pass was calm though clouds were patrolling around. That sight made us feel somewhat better...it was still raining but now it was more like a drizzle, so we decided to move on up to the first control cabin of Kunali Power House and again through the rain we reached the cabin and later the Kunali Power House but this time we were accompanied by leeches.
They are kind of scary but not that much scary....and certainly not scarier than humans :P parasites.
Anyway the mountains had called for brief meeting and it surely turned a good one..and the Views Really were and ARE GOOD ABOVE the GROUND!

The Forestry Division will focus on promoting sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources through effective development of policies for forestry development, conservation and maintenance of national biodiversity, provision of technical advisory and support services. Division will address the continuous availability of variety of seedlings as one of the critical needs that hindered the development of forestry sector.
Furthermore, the Ministry aims at ensuring food security by means of increased agricultural production and income generation through crop intensification, diversification and improvement of agro-processing and marketing systems. The increase in agricultural production will be achieved mainly through improvement of soil fertility and erosion control. This is possible through promotion of agroforestry practices.
Forestry Division will take key forest management decisions based on fundamentals of forestry science and appropriate research.
Damages caused by severe soil erosion are costly to rehabilitate within the watershed specifically in 'Eua to maintain sustainable environment reducing sedimentation and flooding. The program aims to tackle majority of the land that are now currently suffering from mismanagement. The program will involve timber and fruit tree and sandal wood replanting.

BOLTON ABBEY, a village in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, 22 M. N.W. from Leeds and 51 from Ilkley by the Midland railway. It takes its name, inaccurately, from the great foundation of Bolton Priory, the ruins of which are among the most exquisitely situated in England. They stand near the right bank of the upper Wharfe, the valley of which is beautifully wooded and closely enclosed by hills. The earliest part of the church is of transitional Norman date; the nave, which is perfect, is Early English and Decorated. The transepts and choir are ruined, and the remains of domestic buildings are slight. The manor of Bolton Abbey with the rest of the district of Craven was granted by William the Conqueror to Robert de Romili, who evidently held it in ro86, although there is no mention made of it in the Domesday survey. William de Meschines and Cicely de Romili, his wife, heiress of Robert, founded and endowed a priory at Embsay or Emmesay, near Skipton, in 112o, but it was moved here in 1151 by their daughter, Alice de Romili, wife of' William FitzDuncan, who gave the manor to the monks in exchange for other lands. After the dissolution of the monasteries the manor was sold in 1542 to Henry Clifford, 2nd earl of Cumberland, whose descendants, the dukes of Devonshire, now hold it. See J. D. Whitaker, LL.D., F.S.A., History of the District of Craven (ed. Morant, 1878) ; Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum.End of Article: BOLTON ABBEY

A Message from Our Superintendent
"The Natchitoches Parish School Board continues to meet the challenges required to raise academic standards and positively impact student achievement throughout all schools. Central office instructional personnel have worked diligently to prepare administrators, teachers and students for implementation of a curriculum aligned with Common Core Standards.
Intensive professional development provided prior to the 2014/15 school year will be ongoing as well as support for the teacher and school leader evaluation system based on student growth and professional practice.
Again, the success of our school system lies in the support and interaction of the total school community. As superintendent, I continue to solicit that support in an effort to improve student achievement. I remain committed to serve in the best interest of all children."

Happy Birthday, Avery!
aka...Nonnynoony...Averoony...Mr. Macaroni...'Avery' means ruler of the elves....
I spent most of my pregnancy with Avery in Portland, Oregon...I loved living there, and rainy days don't seem to bother him at all, heh. He was the smallest at birth of my three children, weighing in at 8lbs 10oz, 21 inches long, he was covered in soft red fuzz, he was very pretty in an orangutan kind of way (what with all that red downy hair), but alas, the red down fell out and replaced with platinum blonde. He had blue eyes for the longest time but in keeping with his Mom....they turned green/hazel type, and his hair has gotten much darker. (he really was a beautiful baby)
Fun things to know about Avery....
He didn't start really talking until he was 3, he was far too busy with other activities...like getting his hands on one of those short fat screwdrivers and removing the screws from door hinges...oh yeah, that was fun, fortunately he couldn't get to those top screws.
When he did start talking he had his own language. My Mother was called Granny by the grandchildren...but not Avery, he called her Lala...one day I overheard Aardron and Avery playing in their room and they were talking about their Granny/Lala, Avery was probably 6 at the time, Aardron finally stopped, looked at him and asked him point blank "Why do you call Granny 'Lala'?" Avery looked at him for a few seconds and then said "Granny?", from then on there was no more 'Lala', seriously, my Mother shed a few tears.
Halloween and spooking? nope, Avery was going to go 'smooking'.
I raised all my children on tales of Faeries and Dragons and Elves, the old folk tales, legends, and myths......one night after putting them to bed Avery called me in, it was summer and the windows were open, he pointed outside where we could see a circle of mushrooms, he claimed the Faeries and Elves were having such a great time they were keeping him awake. He was quite serious.
He had the funniest and most contagious giggle and would get tickled about the oddest little things.
Avery is bright, incredibly loveable, he's a avid reader, enjoys cooking and gardening.
He really loves his handknit socks, would like to have a whole drawer-full (who wouldn't?) nearly to the point that he's considered learning how to knit them himself.......we'll see about that.
He loves his Mama and Granny and would do anything for us.
He is a gentleman, (in a somewhat big, burly way).
Avery just recently moved to Virginia Beach, job related move, and although I miss him here, I wish him well, of course.
Tip of the iceberg, folks, just the tip of the iceberg.
Happy Birthday Avery, wishing you a fabulous day and many many more...I love you.
Happy Knitting to All and continue to make.good.time.

A couple of the 4x6 spots got to have some journaling and such. I really like the look of it.
This week was a moviefest at our house. We took advantage of the on-demand with our cable and had many a cuddle-on-the-couch with a film night. Last Monday I had Jane Austen on my mind, and Persuasion happened to be a freebie option. I love that particular version and the hubs hadn't seen it, so it was greet to share with him. On the top left corner of the movie card, I used one of Becky Higgins' little arrow stickers to point to the journaling (and tie in the arrow element *on* the journaling).
Like so many others across the US, I uttered a rather sad "BLERGH!" as 30 Rock finished its run this week. It had to be included.
Week 5 was great fun. Week 6 will be even better since we're taking a long weekend to Wisconsin on Thursday. It will be wonderful to see my family, to have access to a car and craft stores (!!!!), and to retrieve a few crafty things such as my button/badge machine (it didn't fit in my bags when we moved and is too heavy to ship). I have a feeling Week 6 will span a bit more than 2 pages! (And, in case you missed it the other day, will include my Super Bowl-themed filler card freebie).
Happy February!

GoPro Camera Tips for Awesome Fishing Photos [VIDEO]
This video offers great tips for taking sweet still GoPro photos while fly fishing.
Tightlines Productions' video shows a wide variety of useful tips for using the GoPro camera to take high-quality shots. Topics include still photos, camera setup, photo-interval mode, mounting options, how to take unique shots, and the always popular selfie grip and grin.
My personal favorite is the landing-net mounting option. This simple hack is low-cost, and gives a unique perspective on the fish, above and below the surface.
Next time you're on the stream with your GoPro, give a few of these photo tactics a try.

Pit People Update 2: World Tour – Releases on Xbox One
March 10, 2017
This update primarily focuses on Worldmaps and Tournaments. As always the main Story, although not included in this update, is being developed alongside all these improvements we have been releasing.
Here's the changelist for the upcoming Update 2 on Xbox One:
Unfair Challenge & PVP changes
- Standard loot for participating in PVP has been introduced. Local PVP will not yield rewards as always.
- Auto-battler being used in moderation will have show a slight reduction of Pit Points gained (IE. starting out, finishing a match, or a few turns of the battle).
- Auto-battler speeds have been slightly reduced (slower than "instant").
- Entire battles completed with Auto-battlers will yield less Pit Points in both Unfair Challenge & Insane Unfair Challenge as well as PVP modes (as opposed to a player manually placing their fighters). Loot and XP are unchanged. NOTE: Anyone paired along with an Auto-battler in either Unfair Challenge or PVP will not receive less Pit Points, but the Auto-battling user will receive less Pit Points. Turning it on and off throughout the match in an effort to trick the system will not work!
House Menu
- Icons added for critical chance, dodge chance, piercing, Weight reduction, spawns minions, acid damage, chain lightning, ink, and confuse.
- Mushrooms, Mascots, Wraiths, Troll Moms, Gorgons will all have proper House Menu readouts along the top.
- Color coding – Main categories of weapons will now correspond with the color of the stat bar they are most related to.
- More trade-off weapons introduced.
- Trade-off weaponry we introduced in Update 1 (weaponry with a strategic advantage over the cost of other stats) will now show icons that help show exactly what strategic advantages they'll give. NOTE: Weapons that grant Defense will be marked as tradeoff icons but will not have the secondary, larger icon displayed at this time. If you're scratching your head at a trade-off weapon that isn't showing any other strategic difference, it should be a Defense weapon.
- Elite enemies are now immune to the wagon cannon. Bring that nitro! (Remember, elite enemies cannot be fleed from once engaged)
- Elite enemies will leave little red fire trails.
- Spidaurs can now recruit fighters who are last in the fight – They must stand at net throwing range from their recruit like human net throwers. NOTE: Please know that Spidaurs have NOT gained the ability to snare from a distance in regular fighting.
- Brand new Mortar called "The Stinger" with Blind effect. Blinded fighters have greatly reduced accuracy for their next turn (accuracy, as always, applies to melee as well!).
- Archers have been made consistent in their shots, including Mortar users (no change from hotfix). You are now guaranteed 6/4/2 shots from Light/Medium/Mortar when not moving that turn and 3/2/1 shots when moving that turn.
- Higher chance for skins of creatures gained through regular loot.
- Tech Support Bow was not getting expected bonus against Electrobots in Update 1 (oops).
- Various balance changes to Cyclops, Hair Troll, Troll Mom, Troll Babies, Mushroom, Kobold, Gorgon, Snake Minis, Octoclops, Heavy Sword, Light Bow, Medium Bow, Mortar (no change from hotfix), Throwing Axe, Spidaur, NRG-B0, Light Swords
Other delights
- Some facelifts for existing weaponry; Safety Last, Pineapple, Masterwork, Crispotron and more.
- Creatures available more often in the Marquette.
- "Help" from Pause Menu will now list out the House Menu icons.
- New Narrator VO quips when in a battle.
- Co-op players can go into an online versus lobby; they're forced to play on the same side.
- Narrator continues to make commentary for kills after the ninth.
- Items only show up as new if you haven't seen that item before.
- Red numbers under a shield icon in the house indicate weakness to an effect.
- Fixed a bug that awarded Hailey, Pandora, and Esteban incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug that caused half-slot fighters to have the wrong level in arena battles.
- Half-slot fighters get full hero attributes. Recruited half-slot fighters are given two different names.
Added a "blind" status effect.

What are my chances of being pregnant?
* He was inside me without a condom for less than 10 seconds. He did not cum inside me even with the condom.
* He doesn't think there was any precum, but he can't be sure. Also, he doesn't think he was completely hard while inside me (but hard enough that he could get in)
* I was/am on low-estrogen birth control pills.
* He did not ejaculate at all that day before we had sex and always goes to the bathroom after he does.
* We had sex 3-4 days after my period ended.
And now, I'm missing my period.
I am taking a test at some point this week, but I was just wondering if I'm being paranoid or not.

Hi all,
a friend of mine bought a Tudor 7016 and asked for my opinion.
I have some serious doubts about it but I'd like to double check here first.
Thus any help would be highly apreciated!
First, the serial number is not in the 7016 range at all. But strangely the font looks ok to me:
The bracelet looks really strange to me - but I don't count "not known to me" automatically as "could not have existed"...but still:
That's the watch, strange patina imho:
Thanks for your input!
Until somebody more knowledgeable chimes in I can say that the patina is water damage.
I don't know about the bracelet but aftermarket replacements are quite common.
I haven't checked serial number records but those records are out there.
Good luck.
