What motivates young people around the world today? Money? Fame? Justice?
McCann Worldgroup asked that question to 7000 young people around the world: US, UK, China, India, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia, Chile, South Africa, Italy, Germany, Korea, Japan, Australia and Philippines.
The same three motivations are ranked highly in every country.
And it is technology – most often their phone and laptop – which fuels the three motivations above. It is the deep relationship with technology that allows them to connect and to influence justice for a new era.
- The need for connection and community is the most fundamental motivation for young people. They want to connect, share and broadcast through digital cameras, cheap editing software, design programs and blogging platforms.
- For this reason: to be remembered, not for their beauty, their power or their influence, but simply by the quality of their human relationships and being loved by many people.
- Connecting to a broader network of friends has replaced the need to belong to a tight-knit group of friends.
- They long for new tools to broadcast, share, entertain, make new connections, beat their friends, and narrate their lives.
- They avoid all impositions, rigid rules and structures where they can't negotiate.
- But these tools should come from people that really care. Youth is disgusted by corporate people doing good just to make themselves look good. From a young person's point of view, the worst thing a brand can do us make a promise it doesn't keep.
- Young people want to change the world. Social media allows them to share information, to join groups on a wide range of topics (everything from corruption in politics to freedom of speech or human rights abuses) and to build networks of support and encouragement.
- They believe technology brands like Google, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook will solve most of the problems the word faces today, from environmental issues to food shortages, from freedom of speech to privacy and terrorism.
I am wondering how these technology brands will save the world.

An Antenna on a Button
Phil Kinnane February 24, 2012
Reading physorg.com, I came across this story about miniaturizing antennas for smaller wireless devices. Apparently, the size of the antenna often limits the size of the wireless device – so let's make those antennas smaller. The article is about a group from the University of Michigan who achieves this by using a hemispherical substrate with a spiraling antenna taking advantage of the volume that the hemisphere provides.
RF Modeling
Not having seen an example of this in COMSOL's model suite, I went to our RF guy, Jiyoun, and asked him if it could be built. Jiyoun's been doing heaps of RF modeling lately, but I hadn't seen an antenna on a button pass my way.
It seems as though Jiyoun had the same problem as the manufacturers; it's pretty difficult to create that spirally-pattern on the hemisphere. Yet, two hours later he had produced a model. Good stuff Jiyoun!

The following is an excerpt from The MacArthur New Testament Commentary on Matthew 24.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. Then there shall be two men in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you be ready too; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. Truly I say to you, that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But if that evil slave says in his heart, "My master in not coming for a long time," and shall begin to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards; the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know, and shall cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; weeping shall be there and the gnashing of teeth. (24:36–51)
The familiar expression "Here I come, ready or not" could well be applied to Jesus' second coming, because He is coming according to the sovereign plan of God, with no regard for worldwide or individual readiness. Jesus is coming when He is coming, because the when and how of His return have long since been predetermined in the sovereign wisdom of God.
In response to the disciples' question, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (24:3), Jesus told them of the birth pains that would immediately precede His coming (vv. 4–28), of the abomination of desolation (v. 15), which would precipitate those signs, and of the supreme sign of His own appearing on the clouds of heaven (v. 30). Now He gives them a partial answer to the "where" part of the question.
Although there will be observable, worldwide, and unmistakable indications of His coming just before it occurs, the exact time will not be revealed in advance. Of that day and hour no one knows, Jesus declared categorically. The signs He had just been describing will be conclusive proof that His arrival is very near. Once they have begun, the general time period of His return will be known, because one of the key purposes of the signs will be to make it known. But even during those sign-days the precise day and hour of Jesus' appearing will not be known, a truth He reiterates several times in this Olivet discourse (see 24:42, 44, 50; 25:13).
As has been noted, the books of Daniel and Revelation both make clear that the full Tribulation will last seven years and that the second part of it, the Great Tribulation, will last three and a half years (Dan. 7:25; 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 11:2–3; 12:14; 13:5). Then, "immediately after the tribulation of those days," Jesus said, "the Son of Man [will come] on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory" (Matt. 24:29–30). Precisely how is not immediately said.
Daniel and Revelation also speak of an expanded period of 1,290 days (Dan. 12:11; Rev. 12:6), 30 days more than the basic 1,260 of the Great Tribulation. Daniel also mentions a 1,335-day period (Dan. 12:12), adding another 45 days to make a total addition of 75. As suggested in chapter 3 of this volume, it seems that the best explanation for those additional days is that they will cover the time when the Messiah descends to the Mount of Olives, creates the great valley in which the nations of the world will be judged, and executes that judgment (see Zech. 14:4–5; Matt. 25:31–46).
Nevertheless, even with all those indisputable signs and precisely designated periods, the exact day and hour will not be known by any human beings, not even Tribulation believers, in advance. Although the Lord gives no reason for their not knowing, it is not difficult to imagine some of the problems that such knowledge would cause. For one thing, if unbelievers knew the precise time of Christ's arrival, they would be tempted to put off receiving Him as Lord and Savior until the last moment, thinking they could make the decision any time they wanted before He actually is scheduled to appear.
But even if they planned to wait until the precise date and hour of Christ's appearing, they would not know if they would live until that time. Like the rich farmer (Luke 12:16–20), they will have no guarantee of the length of their lives and therefore have no guarantee they will still be alive when Christ appears. Although the generation living when the signs begin will not pass away until Christ returns (Matt. 24:34), many individual members of that generation will pass away, some by natural causes and a large percentage at the hand of the Antichrist.
Even if they knew the precise time of Christ's appearing and were certain they would live until then, they would be fooling themselves to think they could simply receive Him before that time. The fact that they will have put off trusting in Christ for as long as they have will be certain evidence they have no sincere desire to follow Him as Lord and Savior. If the indescribable perils of the Tribulation will not persuade them to turn to the Lord, the knowledge of His exact arrival time certainly would not.
As far as believers are concerned, knowledge of that specific time might also make them careless, causing them to withdraw and become spiritually sedentary, thinking it would be pointless to make plans for serving the Lord or to make further effort to win the lost. No one, believer or unbeliever, could think or function normally knowing the exact day and hour of Christ's coming.
Neither will the supernatural world know the precise time, not even the angels of heaven. Although the righteous angels enjoy intimacy with God, hovering around His throne to do His bidding (Isa. 6:2–7) and continually beholding His face (Matt. 18:10), they are not privy to this secret. The angels will be directly and actively involved in the end time as God's agents to separate the saved from the unsaved (see Matt. 13:41, 49), but for His own reasons God the Father will not reveal in advance exactly when He will call them into that service.
Still more amazingly, not even the Son knew at the time He spoke these words or at any other time during His incarnation. Although He was fully God as well as fully man (John 1:1, 14), Christ voluntarily restricted His use of certain divine attributes when He became flesh. "Although He existed in the form of God, [He] did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped," that is, to be held onto during His humanness (Phil. 2:6). It was not that He lost any divine attributes but that He voluntarily laid aside the use of some of them and would not manifest those attributes except as directed by His Father (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38).
Jesus demonstrated His divine omniscience on many occasions. "He did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man for He Himself knew what was in man" (John 2:25). When, for example, Nicodemus came to Him at night, Jesus already knew what he was thinking and answered his question before it was asked (John 3:13).
But there were certain self-imposed restrictions in His human knowledge. He told the disciples, "All things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you" (John 15:15). Jesus obediently restricted His knowledge to those things that the Father wanted Him to know during His earthly days of humanity. The Father revealed certain things to the Son as He reveals them to all men-through the Scripture, through the Father's working in and through His life, and through the physical manifestations of God's power and glory (see Rom. 1:19–20). Jesus learned much of His earthly knowledge just as every human being learns, and it is for that reason that He was able to keep "increasing in wisdom" (Luke 2:52). In addition to those ways, some truths were revealed to the Son directly by the Father. But in every case Jesus' human knowledge was limited to what His heavenly Father provided.
Therefore, even on this last day before His arrest, the Son did not know the precise day and hour He would return to earth at His second coming. During Christ's incarnation, the Father alone exercised unrestricted divine omniscience.
It seems probable that Christ regained full divine knowledge after the resurrection, as implied in His introduction to the Great Commission: "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth" (Matt. 28:18). Just prior to His ascension, He told the disciples, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority" (Acts 1:7). He repeats the truth that the disciples would not be told the time of His appearing, but He did not exclude His own knowledge, as He did in the Olivet discourse.
The three attitudes Jesus mentions in Matthew 24:37–51 are specifically addressed to the generation (Matt. 24:34) that will be alive during the Tribulation and that will witness the signs described in verses 4–29. Those attitudes are: alertness (vv. 37–42), readiness (vv. 43–44), and faithfulness (vv. 45–51).

My mileage decreased from 31 mpg hwy to 22-23mpg hwy with the Michelin defenders so I exchanged them for Michelin Premier AS tires 225/60/17 and mileage decreased to 19-20 mpg from my former 31 mpg. Now I do not know what tire to replace them with because Michelin said they were fuel efficient tires and are not. It is impossible to trust mfg ratings for any tires. I am an excellent professional driver with zero accidents and zero tickets in 55 yrs of driving all sized vehicles and trucks.

All I ever buy are Michelin tires. I'm replacing my current set of Premier A/S with a new set now. I got 83,000 miles out of the first set on my 2005 Honda Accord I use for commuting to work. I go through tires about every 2 years because I drive a lot, My Honda currently has 430,000 original miles on the original engine/transmission. The tires are very nice to drive with. The tires are quiet, they handle well and they brake well in wet or dry conditions. I'm very satisfied with this tire and that is why I'm buying another set of 4 tires. I know tires and I can recommend this tire.

We have two Sonatas in the house the 11'Limited, and a 13' Hybrid Limited. Now the ride of the Hybrid is soft and fluffy like flying in an airplane no road feeling underneath at all seamless quite beautiful. I wanted my 11' to preform more like the 13' so I upgraded to the Premier A/S in hopes. I got all that I wanted ...except the airplane like ride. Better gas mileage, low rolling resistance ; EXCELLENT grip ; AWESOME hair pin turns at high rates of speed! PHENOMENAL short stopping from high speeds, however the ride, firm and you feelin every little bump, feels like a low rider! But overall it made my car much more fun to drive!

Bought the Michelin LT275/65R20 M/S LRE as recommended by the service manager. I wanted to maintain the factory ride but have the "Big Truck" look all us guys want on our trucks. My service manager said, "Don't go with that huge mud rock tire if you want to have the factory ride. Go with the 20" Michelin on some American Racing wheels and you won't be disappointed." He was right.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu was born in Klerksdorp, Transvaal, the second of the three children of Zacheriah Zililo Tutu and his wife, Aletta, and the only son. Tutu's family moved to Johannesburg when he was twelve. His father was a teacher and his mother a cleaner and cook at a school for the blind. Here he met Trevor Huddleston who was a parish priest in the black slum of Sophiatown. "One day," said Tutu, "I was standing in the street with my mother when a white man in a priest's clothing walked past. As he passed us he took off his hat to my mother. I couldn't believe my eyes – a white man who greeted a black working class woman!"

"My time at the University of Exeter provided me with one of the most unique and enlightening experiences that I have ever had.
After three months I found myself with new friends that span six continents, with a new perspective on the legal realm and with a wealth of experience from not only living in Exeter but from my travels throughout Europe.

International students info: http://www.exeter.ac.uk/international/students/
Exeter is a pleasant provincial city of about 100,000 people located in the County of Devon, a part of England known for its attractive countryside and seacoast. Exeter's rich history indicates both Celtic settlement on the banks of the River Exe and also Roman settlement indicated in the remains of a fortified city wall. As a major trading port in the 13th century it also became the site for a canal system used to improve trade and commerce in the 1500s.
Exeter offers a number of places to explore: historic buildings in the cathedral close, Roman walls, the Quay, remains of St. Nicholas Priory, St. Mary Steps, "The House That Moved" inch by inch, and the extremely narrow Parliament Street. There is also an ancient cable ferry, known as Butts Ferry, which takes people across the River Exe. The town center features a good number of shops and restaurants within 20-minute's walk from the University. In past years, Connecticut students and faculty have enjoyed living in the Exeter community and exploring the countryside.
With students from over 140 different countries, academic staff staff of 50 different nationalities, and links to several universities worldwide, the University of Exeter offers a truly international, cosmopolitan student experience, as well as a safe learning environment in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK. The University has about 18,000 students in its graduate and undergraduate programs. It has earned a deservedly good reputation as an intellectual center; besides its Faculty of Law, there are faculties in a number of academic disciplines including the arts and sciences.

Yeah, it sucks when artists sacrifice art to the altar of money...
Like when they sell wallpapers...and comics...and books...
Seriously, I was mad at Rather Good until I realized they already had a gift shop. Then cognitive dissonance reared its ugly head (oh, my cognition is butt ugly, lemme tell you), and I decided that I was only ticked by the commercial for reasons I can't yet explain.
It feels like selling out, but I can't distinguish it from the sales an artist makes with t-shirts and bumper stickers. I read far too much
Cat and Girl
to say "sell-out" with a straight face. And I'm a writer, so I expect to get paid for what others provide for free -- commentary and stories. My work is far more derivative and money-driven than Rather Good -- or, for that matter, than Scott's work.
Know what'd be cool? Artist endorsements that the artist chooses. If someone like Scott has the power to sign on companies, rather than vice versa, it will mean more to me than if Acme Ink buys a banner on his site. I'm thinking along site-referral lines, clearly stated as paid referrals, but with more interaction than mere ads.
I know this is nothing new; just tying it in to Rather Good in the hopes that you'll only remember hearing this fantastic idea from me.

I've ofen thought that it would be good to have paid ads/endorsements for products that I like on my site... I've just never tried to pursue it. Often this idea returns to me when I'm posting my drunk comics, when I specifically refer to brands that I was drinking at the time:
Though I suspect any beer company worth their salt would not reallly want to associate themselves with my drunken ramblings.
In related subject matters, writer Jim Munroe mentioned many products by name in his novel Everyone in Silico, and then sent invoices to the companies. He posted some of the responses on his website, and it is kind of funny...

Well, at least shirts and bumper stickers mean they're selling thier work. (as opposed to just using it to sell for someone else) Of course, there is that fine line between selling and whoring*coughGarfieldcough*

I don't really see what's wrong with selling out. If someone were to plunk down a pile of cash in order to use some of my art to sell a product, I'd say yes in a second. Even if they wanted to change it to better sell their product. The degree of change might alter my price, of course, as would the product being sold, and the art they wanted to use, and it's possible that I would want to charge more than they would want to pay (for example, if an evil cigarette company wanted to use a heavily modified version of one of my zine comics to sell tobacco to children, I expect my price would be out of their range), but I can't think of any good reason not to sell out.
I hate garfield because it is offensively bad, not because it sold out. (Presuambly part of the selling out involved making the strip a bland pile of suck, for which I hope Mr. Davis was fairly compensated.)

You may not realize this, but Joel Veitch has been using his insane kitten-flash for ads for MTV for a while.
On a similar note, Weebl (the guy who does Weebl and Bob) has been doing ads for various dairies and so on too.

Why can't artists just agree to starve while amusing us for free?

I wasn't clear before.
My gut reaction is disgust for the "sellout," but as soon as I think about it, I realize that I readily accept artists who sell their work. Then I must, to some degree, accept those who sell merchandise derived from that work. Then it's not a long leap to those who sell their popularity, their brand. They're just extending their
Yeah. So I'm pro-commerce, and not the elitist git I sounded like in my earlier post.
I even disagree with Scott's interpretation of art in UC. But I know he's OK with people disagreeing.

Re: read the FAQ
This commercial is hillarious! Does anyone honestly think the artist should have made the spongmonkeys cute and cuddley? Of course they're gross looking; but look at the response the commercial has evoked.
Kudos for the artist...it's not selling out; it's called "making a living..."
and kudos to Quizno's for realizing a lesser known artistic talent in a national marketing campaign.

Quiznos Singing Monkey Ad
The commercial from Quizno's with the singing MONKEYS (thats what they are) is probably the greatest commercial ever made. It draws peoples attention and its randomness sets it above all other ads. Any one who cannot see its imagination most likely doesn't have a very large one themselves.

it's not that you "sellout" or make it by getting a high paying corporate gig
it's who you decide to get in bed with. Joel V. just made a bad decision in choosing Quizno's.
you can make money with talent and help not facilitate more enviornment damage and poor eating habits.

You call it selling out, I call it buying in. Let's call the whole thing off.
Charities and philanthropic organizations don't need sponge monkeys to convince people to buy something. "Environmentally damaging" companies do.

I finally saw that Quiznos ad on the tube. Boy, is that annoying.
As for selling out, I didn't realize "We Like The Moon" was such a revered piece of art in the first place. I don't blame the guy for cashing in while he can. A man's gotta eat.
Of course, I never ate Quizno before, and this new commercial isn't making my mouth water for a franchise sub. Personally, I could probably go to the supermarket, and make myself a much better sandwich. Then again, I've never been a fan of franchise food to begin with.

If you are offered money to sell something that you have worked on, eouldn't you sell it? To think that by not selling something that wants to be bought is "noble" or "the right thing to do" is dumb. Ideals are ideals, but in this world where everything costs *money*, I see nothing wrong with selling anything.
And I've still never used e-bay.
I've decided that signatures are redundant.

Hey, I wouldn't begrudge Scott if he licenced out his Improv characters for commercial endorsments.
Brimley the Walrus could sell frozen fish-sticks.
The denizens of Monkey Town could peddle bananas.
The Bucket Kittens could shill cat food.
Uninformed Bob could be used as an example of why you should go out, and buy your kids a set of encyclopedias.
The money-making opportunities are endless.

Dr. Pamela Peeke is passionate about getting women to take better care of themselves.
"The grand majority of women need to understand what they put in their mouths is actually changing the expression of their own genes," she said Thursday in a phone interview with the Daily News. "If you choose leafy greens instead of junk foods, it changes the script writing for basic genes in your body, the level of energy, your immune system, longevity. You need to start honoring what goes in the body."
It's one of the issues Peeke plans to discuss during The Medical Center's 15th annual A Day Just for Women. The conference will be from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sept. 13 at the Carroll Knicely Conference Center. Cost, which includes the presentations, screenings and conference materials, is $50 per person or $450 for a corporate table for 10 people. Lunch and a continental breakfast will be served. Nurses and dietitians who attend can earn continuing education units. Early registration is encouraged.
"We draw between 400 to 500 women of all ages from across the region," said Linda Rush, director of Community Wellness. "We've been able to bring some nationally recognized speakers that really add to the conference."
A Day Just for Women will include about 40 exhibits with health screenings and information as well shopping opportunities, which include makeup, jewelry and items related to health, Rush said.
"We just really want to encourage women to take time for themselves," she said. "We try to structure times so that those who have children in school can have time. We try to give women the tools and motivation they need to have healthy lifestyles."
In addition to Peeke, the conference will feature Grace Lichtenstein, a counseling psychologist who is a professional trainer and life coach.
Known as the "doc who walks the talk," Peeke is assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, board certified in internal medicine and a fellow of the American College of Physicians. Among her other accomplishments, she is WebMD's lifestyle expert, chief medical correspondent for nutrition and fitness at Discovery Health TV and author of several books, including "Fight Fat After Forty" and her latest one, "The Hunger Fix: The 3 Stage Detox and Recovery Plan for Overeating and Food Addiction," which will be released Sept. 18. She is scheduled to appear on Katie Couric's new talk show Sept. 19.
"Katie and I have worked together in the past on the 'Today' show," she said.
In "The Hunger Fix," Peeke writes about how bodies can be rewired from overeating and food addiction.
"I'm talking about the book itself and what it's about. It's brand new, exciting science," she said.
One aspect of being healthy is medicating with movement, Peeke said.
"I'm asking women to increase their activity of daily living. It's important that people see this as just important," she said.
Every movement counts as long as it's done with intensity, Peeke said.
"It has everything to do with intensity. If I can hit some cardio intensely instead of looking like a zombie on a treadmill, I will get much better bang for my buck," she said. "Most people are time constrained, but they can give you 30 to 40 minutes."
Sponsors of A Day Just for Women are Knicely Conference Center, Citizens First Bank and Graves-Gilbert Clinic.

George Mullins
Irish, 1736–1775
Landscape, c. 1765
oil on canvas
87.2 x 119.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift in memory of Frank and Frances McAuley
One of the most successful Irish landscape painters of his day, George Mullins began his artistic career as a painter of snuff boxes at a Waterford factory. He later migrated to easel painting, and exhibited with the Society of Artists in Dublin and the Royal Academy in London. During his short life, Mullins received special acclaim for his Italianate landscape paintings, which were highly esteemed for their atmospheric effects, superb tone, and delicate colour in the manner of Claude Lorrain. This evocative wooded landscape, inhabited by anglers and other figures situated before a ruined tower, may have been part of a series showing contrasting weather and the times of day, similar to his commission for the Earl of Charlemont in the late 1760s.

This Christmas everyone on my mom's side decided to go to our Granka's!!
Granka is what we call our grandmother, when the oldest cousin Micah was little he came up with that name and it just kinda stuck with her!! I think he formed it from Grandmother from Arkansas haha.
Well now she lives in Allen, TX, so we had about a 5 hour drive from Arkansas on Christmas Eve.
Our car was packed, it was me, mom, my sister and both of our dogs!!
And we don't have little dogs!
haha the golden-doodle on the left is our puppy Sammy! And the Lab Mix on the Right licking his face is our dog Charlie!!! He's like my other half:) The little malti-pom in the middle is Millie-Mae, she USED to be our dog, but my mom gave her to my Aunt Lori (the lady snoozing on the couch).
Sadly these weren't the only 3 dogs with us this weekend!
My other Aunt Shawn brought her lab, and my Granka has 2 poodles! It was a bit hectic in the house all weekend!!
He loves his little sister Kinsley already!
This is a closer look at crazy Millie!
Sweet Charlie!
This is my cousin Zachary! He is my absolute best friend, we grew up together, more like brother and sisters than cousins.
This is my Aunt Shawn and Uncle Matt!
Aunt Shawn and her husband came down from Katy, TX!!
Their daughter Meagan couldn't come because she had to work:( And their other son Micah couldn't come because he was still in Iraq on Christmas, BUT he made it back to the states safely yesterday!!
This is my beautiful mom:) One of the only things she wanted for Christmas was a bottle of Hello Kitty Wine, and she got it!!
Here's our puppy Sammy, and my Aunts dog Sophie and our pup Charlie!
Isn't she so cute:)
Here's my little sister Abbey and Charlie
And here is the famous Granka!!!!
She might kill me for putting this on here, but this was the only close up I had of her:/ This is my moms other sister Lori!! She lives in Arkansas too:)
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Years!!!

Welcome by Yunnan Minority Travel - China
Hi there!
Nice to meet you. Welcome in Yunnan - China. My English name is Sunny. Sunny is my nickname. I am a certified and licensed English-language tour guide. I live in Dali, Yunnan province and belong, like many of the inhabitants of this region, to a minority. My people are the Bai.
I organise and guide travels in Yunnan since 1997. I am enthusiastic, cheerful and I have many years of experience in organizing and guiding of long and short-term travel in China, Yunnan in particular. Besides, I also collaborate with European travel agents and my extensive network of colleagues.
I'm closely working together with Gerard (Dutch). You can read more about me, Gerard and the advantages of traveling with us.
Please let me help you to make your stay more comfortable and pleasant with my knowledge of the minorities and inhabitants and their culture in this area. I do my best to deliver a high quality service at a friendly price. There are splendid possibilities for trekking around Dali, Lijiang, Zhongdian and Jinghong, opportunities to visit many places of interest, vibrant local markets, Buddhist temples, monasteries and to meet many of the colourful minorities of Yunnan.
There is just so much to see in Yunnan... Lets make a deal: I will give you my suggestions, and you will make your own choices.
Visit Yunnan year round
The climate in Yunnan is both diverse and changeable. For example, in Kunming it always feels like Spring. Though in Dali it is, despite of an altitude of 1950 metres, mostly warmer, but sometimes there is a cool wind. And, in Zhongdian - also called Shangri-La - the sun may be even stronger, but because of the town's altitude of 3200 metres, close to Tibet and the Himalayas, warm clothing is advised for evenings and nights. Yunnan is also very beautiful in wintertime and not cold. Already in January the trees are full of flowers, sometime snow on the mountain tops and in the south of Yunnan it can be already very warm.

Hypothesis Links Extreme Volcanism To Global Cooling
SOCORRO, N.M. July 1, 2009 – New Mexico Tech scientist Dr. Steve Cather authored a brief article in the academic journal Geosphere that has generated a flurry of mainstream articles.
Cather, a senior field geologist with the Bureau of Geology, and his co-authors propose than a series of massive volcanic eruptions started a chemical and geologic domino effect on a global scale that led to the formation of the polar ice caps.
"That's the upshot of the hypothesis – that episodes of major explosive volcanism led to ice ages," Cather said. "After we first noted the association between explosive volcanism in southwestern North America with the beginnings of today's icehouse climate, we wanted to see if there was similar correlation between ancient ice ages and silicic large igneous provinces, or SLIPs. It turned out to be a close correlation, so we decided to go forward with this publication."
Cather's co-authors for the paper in Geosphere include geochemist Dr. Nelia Dunbar, geochronologist and volcanologist Dr. Bill McIntosh and geologist Dr. Peter Scholle, all of New Mexico Tech, and geochronologist Dr. Fred McDowell of the University of Texas at Austin.
The bulk of the team's research focused on a major series of explosive volcanic eruptions in what is now Mexico and the American Southwest from 50 to 15 million years ago. However, the hypothesis might also explain older ice ages known to have occurred on Earth. The team identified six periods of extreme volcanic activity and correlated them to the onset of the cooling cycles.
About 55 million years ago, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum saw global warming of about 6 degrees C over a 20,000-year period. Roughly 25 million years later, the planet was solidly in a cooling cycle. The polar regions eventually became covered in ice as the global climate became much chillier.
Scientists have long been able to date ice ages using paleontology, geochemistry and geochronology; however, the cause of radical climate change has been elusive. Now, Cather and his colleagues at New Mexico Tech propose that explosive silicic volcanism may be a common factor among all the cool climate episodes in the last half billion years.
Silicic volcanic provinces are characterized by high levels of silica-rich volcanic rocks, like rhyolite, which is similar to granite in chemical composition. The planet experienced its most recent episode of silicic volcanism beginning about 50 million years ago. Explosive volcanism continued for many millions of years, with massive eruptions happening on average every 15,000 to 40,000 years.
First, a series of cataclysmic eruptions spewed iron-rich ash into the atmosphere. Each eruption would have dwarfed anything recorded in human history – and filled the atmosphere with volcanic ash.
The first task of the researchers was to accurately determine when the planet entered the phase of intense volcanism and determine the size of the eruptions.
Previous geologic studies in Colorado have established that a serious of eruptions – averaging 120 times the size of the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo – occurred in a Silicic Large Igneous Province in southwestern North America.
Bill McIntosh has dated silicic volcanic deposits from the Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico and in the southwestern U.S. using his Argon 40-Argon 39 lab at New Mexico Tech. He and Fred McDowell, two of the preeminent geochronologists in the country, were able to establish that a series of massive eruptions occurred between about 50 and 15 million years ago.
Nelia Dunbar, a geochemist, calculated the iron content in the silicic eruptions. She and Cather then determined the how much iron would need to settle in the oceans to stimulate enough algae growth to sequester enough carbon to cool the entire planet's atmosphere.
"These eruptions started about 50 million years ago," Cather said. "Each time, a certain amount of ash ends up in the ocean and stimulates extra growth of algae. Some of the carbon ends up at the bottom of the ocean – sequestered and buried."
Over a period of years or decades after each eruption, the ash settled into the oceans, where the iron served as a sort of fertilizer, stimulating the growth of algal organisms, like tiny plankton. Similar to plants (but not classified as plants), algae need sunlight, consume nutrients and excrete oxygen. Algae need iron to make chlorophyll, which in turn allows photosynthesis.
As the algae drew CO2 from the oceans and the atmosphere, global temperatures fell. This series of eruptions episodically replenished the oceans with iron and stimulated algal growth over a period of 35 million years.
The team theorizes that nearly a half million cubic kilometers of iron-bearing ash and rock were ejected into the atmosphere. Some of the ash would have rained iron in the mid-ocean regions – areas that have been shown to be typically low in this critical nutrient that algae need to thrive. This volcanic material would have fertilized a global explosion of algae blooms. When thriving, algae create "carbon sinks" in the oceans – the opposite of the greenhouse effect. Using geochemical models, the team posits that the planet's algae could have consumed enough carbon dioxide to cool the planet.
After the article first appeared in Geosphere, the Discovery Channel's website published an article about Cather's research. That report, which included an interview with Cather was then picked up by more than a dozen websites and blogs.
"I was kind of amazed at the reaction," Cather said. "This is truly only a hypothesis, but I knew it would generate a buzz among scientists. I've been doing geology for decades and this is the first thing that has generated interest from more than just geologists."

Miller (Robertson's Windmill)
Robertson's Windmill is not currently open to the public.
Giant structure with simple purpose
A colonial windmill was a large and complicated machine built for the simple purpose of grinding small grains.
William Robertson's windmill closely resembled the one located in Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area today – a narrow, two-story house balanced on an oak post and fitted with four 26-foot frames rigged with linen sails. When the wind rose – a 20- to 30-mile-per-hour breeze was best – the miller pivoted the house to harness the power of the wind.
System of gears drove mill to grind grain
The sails spun a shaft mated to a geared wheel of 51 teeth called a "rack." The rack drove a perpendicular wooden cage gear called a pinion. The pinion turned a shaft that spun a running millstone against a fixed bed stone below. Wheat and corn fed through a hopper between the stones emerged as flour and meal.
Keeping everything running smoothly – the running stone had to turn from 105 to 110 times a minute – was tricky and dangerous. For his skill and trouble, the miller received one sixth of the grain he ground.
The windmill sits idle in this autumn view, but the miller worked when the wind was blowing – often at night or during a storm.

In this review we want to tell you about the Peugeot 208 2000. See photos and video of Peugeot 208 2000, leave your comments about this car.
Peugeot could be called the Father in the Holy Trinity of the French automobile industry (the other two being Citroen and Renault.) A company that was founded in 1810 and first started doing business as a coffee mill has come a long way since then. Today Peugeot has 200,000 employees, the production output of 1 vehicles per year and a net income of $1 billion per year within the PSA group. Some of the company's most notable models include.
Peugeot cars - Winners of the Europen Car of The Year Award:
- 504 - In 1969
- 505 - In 1980
- 205 - In 1984
- 408 - In 1988
- 406 - In 1996
- 206 - In 1999
- 307 - In 2002
- 308 - In 2014
Additionally, Peugeot won many other Car Of The Year awards in Ireland (for models 406 and 3008), Italy and Span.
The company's current models are: i0N, 108, 208, 301, 308, 408, 508, 508 RXH, 2008, 3008, 4008, 5008, RCZ, Bipper Tepee, Partner Tepee and Expert Tepee Peugeot.
The company was also always very active in motor-sport. In comparison to Renault and Citroen, the is a notch more premium and a notch more macho. In relation to other European automakers, it is typically French - more comfortable and refined. And in comparison to US and Asian automakers it is typically European - has a pedigree and is high-tech.
The company is not currently present on the North American market so it does not have USA price policy. Back in the 90s, Peugeot began experiencing a significant drop in sales throughout the US and Canada which forced the company to pull off from the US market. However, on 2016 Geneva Motor Show; the company officials announced that the entire PSA group is planning an unconventional three-stage come back to the US market.
Peugeot 208 2000 is high quality cars - a characteristic which they kept to this day.
