20 Best Ways to Erase Wrinkles
Beating back Father Time is a lot easier than you think.
It's 2017—and somehow no one has invented an actual wrinkle eraser yet. (Bummer, right?) As nice as that would be, right now you still have to deal with them the old fashioned way: Through proper skincare, a healthy diet, and a whole lot of stress relief. If you're hoping for a younger appearance free of fine lines, try these tips to keep your skin smooth, vibrant, and ridiculously young-looking. For more health coverage, take a look at the 32 Secrets of a Stress-Proof Life.
Meditate Every Morning
Being constantly stressed can speed up the aging process, and that's something no one wants. To make sure you keep your cortisol levels in check, meditate on the daily: According to the Mayo Clinic, you only need to devote a few minutes a day to your practice to squash pent-up stress and anxiety. Taking it a bit easier is one of the 40 Life Secrets You Need Right Now.
Workout Regularly
Want to say goodbye to those wrinkles? Then now's the time to start hitting up the gym. In a 2014 study, researchers from McMaster University found it's a great way to keep your skin looking young—as well as help reverse some skin aging.
Wear Sunscreen On the Daily
There's no way you're going to get rid of wrinkles without wearing sunscreen. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, wearing it daily—whether it's sunny or cloudy outside!—will not only protect your skin from cancer-causing UV rays, but will also make sure sun damage isn't giving you wrinkles—or making them worse. Don't just take care of your skin, these are the 20 Secrets for Whiter Teeth After 40.
Limit the Sodium in Your Diet
Put down the overly-salty French fries: According to the Cleveland Clinic, eating high-sodium foods can majorly suck moisture out of your skin—and that can make fine lines show up. If you want to stay wrinkle-free, drink water throughout the day and be sure to limit the salt in your diet.
Get More Sleep
When people refer to catching zzzs as "beauty sleep," they're not lying. According to a 2013 study from the University Hospitals Case Medical Center, being sleep deprived actually increases signs of skin aging. To make sure you stay wrinkle-free, get the recommended amount every night. Check out the Top Longevity Secrets from the World's Oldest People.
Start Using Retinol
Retinol is a powerful anti-ager—and it does wonders for wrinkles and fine lines. A 2007 study published in the JAMA found it's incredibly powerful in improving signs of natural aging and can significantly increase the production of collagen, helping smooth out your skin.
Beware of Repeated Facial Expressions
If you notice yourself making the same facial expressions over and over—whether it's squinting while looking at your phone or smiling non-stop—you might notice some wrinkles pop up. According to the Mayo Clinic, those repeated movements cause a groove to form beneath the skin's surface, and eventually your skin loses its flexibility and can't just spring back. Keep on smiling (because, c'mon—happiness trumps wrinkles!), but break your bad, wrinkle-causing habits to keep those fine lines from popping up.
Eat More Avocados
Yes, this is your excuse to order extra guac. Omega-3s—whether it's avocados, nuts, or olive oil—keeps the skin healthy by building collagen and making sure it doesn't lose its elasticity as you age. When you fill your diet with powerful foods, those wrinkles don't even stand a chance.
Moisturize Daily
You probably either love moisturizer or you hate it, but it's definitely important when it comes to getting rid of—and preventing!—wrinkles. Because the skin naturally dries as you age, it starts to appear more wrinkly, says the Mayo Clinic. To combat the effects, keep your skin hydrated and healthy by finding a facial lotion you love. Getting in a good shower and taking care of your skin could be one of the 25 Quick Ways to Bust Holiday Stress.
Get Regular Facial Treatments
If you want to erase your wrinkles, make skincare your priority: Head to the spa on a regular basis for facials or chemical peels, which can help produce more collagen and give you young and healthy-looking skin that's free of fine lines. It might be a little pricey—but you'll definitely see positive results.
Try Facial Massages
People swear by facial massages for getting rid of wrinkles—so why not give them a try? They increase the circulation to your skin, as well as relieve tension, leaving you with glowing, healthy, and radiant-looking skin—all by using your fingers and applying a little pressure.
Stop Smoking
If you're a smoker, it's time to drop the habit. According to the Mayo Clinic, all it's doing is speeding up the aging process of your skin, giving you wrinkles. To make sure your skin doesn't start looking dry, dull, and full of fine lines, find a healthier way to relieve stress instead—like working out or even finding a new hobby you enjoy.
Give Tofu a Try
Even if you're not vegetarian or vegan, there's a wrinkle-erasing reason to add tofu into your diet: A 2006 study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that soy helps improve the appearance of the skin, increasing the firmness and improving the structure.
Easy Up on the Booze
Or, at least less of it. A 1999 study published in the journal Alcohol Research and Health found drinking too much can lead to premature aging. Because it's super dehydrating, it sucks all the moisture out of your skin, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. But by sticking to mostly water, you'll regain that moisture back—and your skin will instantly look more glowy and youthful.
Try Botox or Fillers
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, both Botox and fillers can help restore any youthfulness to your face in a hurry—but there are some differences between the two. While Botox is best for more pronounced wrinkles, fillers are better for smile lines and regaining facial fullness. Talk to your derm to see which option is best for you if you decide to go down this route.
Go Coo-coo for Cocoa
Eating chocolate to help erase wrinkles? That's what a 2006 study published in the Journal of Nutrition says. Researchers found regularly consuming cocoa increases the blood flow in the skin, which not only helps fight off the effects of sun damage, but also promotes healthier skin. When the skin is nice and hydrated, everything looks a lot smoother—and much less wrinkly.
Do Regular At-Home Masks and Peels
Using at-home peels can give you less wrinkly, smoother, and younger-looking skin—and you don't even need to empty your pockets to see results. There are plenty of options to choose from—from Peter Thomas Roth's Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads to Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare's Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel that will help you erase time and look years younger.
Avoid Sugar Like the Plague
Yeah, yeah—sugar is delicious. But is it good for your skin? Definitely not. Eating a lot of sugar can break down collagen, causing wrinkles and fine lines—so keep it far away from your diet and revitalize your skin through wholesome foods. Not junk that tears it down.
Eat a Nutritious Diet
If you're filling your body with foods packed with vitamins and nutrients, it will show on your skin: Instead of being dried out and dehydrated, all those fruits and veggies will keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant. Plus, aside from helping you stay wrinkle-free, you'll also feel younger all-around.
Stay Out of the Sun
While wearing sunscreen is important, so is staying out of the sun in general. According to the Mayo Clinic, any exposure can cause winkles, speeding up the aging process. So the next time you're at the beach, hang out under an umbrella—and invest in a hat that will keep those harmful rays off your face. And if you do find yourself with wrinkles, don't get caught uttering any of the 40 Things Only Older People Say.

I was 25. I'd worked my up the IT career ladder from answering the helpdesk phones at 17 years old, to long hours supporting corporate networks and doing SQL programming on the side. I thought this was the way my life was meant to be. But the long hours, high stress and poor diet were giving me poor health, and after 8 years, I was starting to realise that maybe this wasn't the career for me.
I'd have palpitations on the train into work. If I got a lunch break I'd spend it crying in the toilets. I'd go home late in the evening with abdominal cramps so bad I couldn't stand up straight. My skin looked awful – acne, boils, a strange infection on the corner of my lips, and hiding under my clothes were several patches of eczema. And don't even get me started about my menstrual cycle – I hadn't seen my period for months and my GP was talking about infertility!
One afternoon, instead of writing some code, I Googled some of my symptoms and realised I was more than just overworked – I was on the road to burnout. A few hours later, and I'd discovered a world of nutrition that I never knew existed – I was doubtful that simply eating well would make a difference, but I was so convinced my GP would just call me a hypochondriac that I embarked on a wholefood diet. Just three weeks later, my skin was clearing, my abdominal cramps were easing, and I was realising that good food really could taste better than the processed convenience food I'd been surviving on for so many years.
I looked into home study courses for nutrition. There weren't many, but I found one that was perfect and looked like I'd be able to fit it in around my day job. Just one module into the course, I realised I'd found my calling. Being a nutritionist, being able to help others, was totally me. I decided to quit my job and the corporate lifestyle, and focus on retraining as a nutritionist. When I told my boss, he laughed and said he'd keep my job open – I've never been more determined to turn an offer like that down!
I'm in my late 30's now, and I've been running my nutrition business ever since I graduated from that course! Thanks to good nutrition and a complete lifestyle change, I've even learnt how to juggle life as a parent to two young children with running the business and updating my qualifications, without burning out again.

I didn't quite realize how hard it was to name dishes. I had set out to make this a cardamom kheer sweetened with dates, but the nibs of chopped dark chocolate sprinkled on top, albeit a small amount, overpowered the other flavors - a pleasant and welcome surprise. The touch of cardamom remained just that, a touch. And I quite like the light combination of cardamom and dark chocolate.
Traditionally, kheer, or rice pudding, is made of white rice soaked in milk, with a bit of saffron and cardamom, and of course sugar. Wild rice takes much longer to cook than white rice, but it is higher in protein, containing all of the essential amino acids, low in fat and a little more chewy, which I love. I've never used coconut cream, but saw it in the fridge and added a small amount. It added a delicious richness, especially if serving as a hot dessert, and the dark chocolate finished it off with a hint of indulgence.
This is great for a filling weekend breakfast or to serve as a hot dessert. Drop a few raspberries before serving, add chopped dark chocolate, and as an afterthought, some toasted coconut flakes.
Makes two bowls
70g wild rice
1 liter water
500ml almond milk
50g dates, finely chopped
½ teaspoon cardamom
2 tablespoons coconut cream
20g dark chocolate
8-10 raspberries
Cook the wild rice in water on low heat. This should take around 45-60 minutes. Once cooked, pour in the almond milk, cardamom, coconut cream and dates. Continue to cook and stir for around 15 minutes. Serve with chopped dark chocolate and few raspberries.

The failures of Adelaide's Oakden nursing home, which in part sparked the royal commission into Australia's aged care system, will be front and centre when hearings open in Adelaide.
One of the Oakden whistleblowers, Barbara Spriggs, whose husband Bob was overmedicated and mistreated at the home leading up to his death, is expected to be the first to give evidence on Monday.
Ms Spriggs will be asked to relate her family's direct experience with Oakden and with the wider aged care system.
Her son Clive is listed to follow her in the witness box before the commission hears from a series of advocacy and medical groups.
One of those, Aged and Community Services Australia, says the investigation will shine a light on many complex challenges and issues within the system that have long gone undiscussed.
Chief executive Patricia Sparrow says it's been hard for many people to talk about ageing.
"But that's what we need to do as a nation if we are going to improve the system and make it sustainable into the future," she said.
"The royal commission will be important in going right back to the beginning and examining what kind of system we need and how to make that possible."
The inquiry's initial focus will be on how aged care has been operated, monitored and regulated and how that may change under the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.
The commission will also consider the changing demographics of the Australian population and the implications this has for the system.
Advocacy and medical groups will detail the current state of the aged care system along with the clinical issues affecting elderly people and general challenges in meeting clinical needs.

Shown above is an ATWOOD's Machine. The question is: Given m1 = 6 KG and m2 = 4 KG, what is the acceleration of the system?
NOTE: We make an important assumption, which is that the pulley is massless.
Mass 1
Mass 1 (6 kg) is more massive than Mass 2 (4 kg), so the net force is gravity subtracted by tension.
Mass 2
Mass 2 loses the tug-of-war, because it's less massive. Mass 2 still has two forces, tension and gravity. Tension wins now, so the net force equals tension subtracted by gravity.
Now, we have two expressions for tension that we can set equal to each other to find the acceleration.
Now, which way is it going? This is very simple to check: just look where the mass is greater. Mass 1 is greater, so the system will accelerate to the left at 1.96 m/s^2.
The Pulley has Mass
For the problem above, we assumed the pulley has no mass. However, assume the pulley is extremely massive. That should surely slow down the acceleration, right? Let's figure out what the acceleration would be if the pulley had mass 12 kg.

Exhibit Columbus 2017
Client: Cleo Rogers Memorial Library
Status: Completed in 2017
Purpose In A Symbol
In 1963, John H. Squadra designed the symbol at the request of I.M. Pei, the architect of the Cleo Rogers Memorial Library, to coincide with the design and opening of the building. Composed of circles and intersecting lines, it was used for bookplates, acknowledgments of donor's gifts, as an architectural motif. The design fell out of common use, but always registered with the community that runs the library. It became the basis for our design.
The circles symbolize the diverse function of the library. This element is picked up in three dimensional form in the spherical globe lights in the library's outdoor plaza areas. The quadrants represent the four cardinal directions served in the county by the central library. Intersecting lines at the center represent the library's central location as a disseminator of knowledge, culture, and ideas, going out to all.

Traitor to the Throne
Series : Rebel of the Sands
Publisher Faber & Faber (Allen and Unwin)
Source : Publisher
Release Date : February 2nd 2017
This is not about blood or love. This is about treason.
Nearly a year has passed since Amani and the rebels won their epic battle at Fahali. Amani has come into both her powers and her reputation as the Blue-Eyed Bandit, and the Rebel Prince's message has spread across the desert – and some might say out of control. But when a surprise encounter turns into a brutal kidnapping, Amani finds herself betrayed in the cruellest manner possible.
Stripped of her powers and her identity, and torn from the man she loves, Amani must return to her desert-girl's instinct for survival. For the Sultan's palace is a dangerous one, and the harem is a viper's nest of suspicion, fear and intrigue. Just the right place for a spy to thrive… But spying is a dangerous game, and when ghosts from Amani's past emerge to haunt her, she begins to wonder if she can trust her own treacherous heart.

[Enter Post Title Here]
If you thought Rebel to the Sands was good. Traitor to the Throne is on another level, there is no second book syndrome here . Hamilton has not rested on the merits of the previous book. Instead Traitor takes you an surprising instalment that will leave you in suspense. With a cliffhanger that will leave wanting to go begging for the third instalment, next year can't come sooner. As what a way to end this book and there is a lot to look forward to in the third instalment. As there are countless possilbities of what could happen next and it looks like it going to be amazing instalment that I can't wait to read.
After the ending , of Rebel of Sands, I was eagerly hoping that this book would rest my qualms about this series and it did. There was something missing, with the first book and I found in the second. Amani really finds her footing in this novel in the sense, that she really gasps what she is part of and takes charge of things. She is forced to become more then the Blue Eye Bandit we adored. She becomes Amani, a 17 year old with great responsibility and a champion of the rebels and woman alike . The reckless girl we met last year has changed and whilst I loved this new side to Amani. You won't see the old one completely left behind though as can't give up the action.
This book ,doesn't start off where you expect , leaving where Rebel of the Sands ended. This book starts off in the future after a few months of hard slog for rebels where there been some interesting events. The whole gang is back but Amani is mostly concerned about her current situation that makes her question everything. She survived the Old Country and discovered the truth about herself. She isn't just an ordinary girl with a killer shot. She a Djinn and can control the sands. She is the rebels of the sand and now she found her place in the world.
This book may start have in a similar way to the first book, but Amani finds herself on intriguing adventure in this instalment that she isn't control of . The others maybe there around play valuable roles , but this Amani's book truly . As we get pieces to the puzzle as we follow her on this adventure that takes her into an interesting situation. Finding herself in the enemy camp, yep you read it right.
Like the blurb hints, the book does take places in Sultan's place and things get very interesting but that not the only thing going on in this novel. There are other events that shape this arc that may surprised readers . Jin disappearing, also is a big part of the novel as Amani juggles with everything else that is thrown at her. Considering that he was a big part, was a siuprised but it make sense. A lot is thrown at her that we the reader learn at the same time that challenges your thoughts about this series. Hamilton really went to town with this instalment. And whilst I missed Jin, the culture and twists had me entertained as we really got to know the villains and new characters in this novel. It comes together surprisingly well despite being so long and honestly I enjoyed a longer novel.
As there need to be the build up there was , for the that ending. As Rebel of Sands were built on the idea of the evil being there but not seeing much of the said Sultan who is an important part of this series. The introduced of him and others in this novel was the smart move and did change things. The new direction of this series , is intriguing and I can't wait to see how the as like the first novel. Traitor to the Throne, definitely raise the stakes and lived up it's title.

Since then I have tried to absolve myself by drowning in an ocean of current affairs articles. In case you hadn't guessed, the second Berlin Wall allusion was in relation to the recent outbreak of violent social activism, which has spread like bacterium to Tunisia to Egypt to Yemen to Libya to Bahrain…It was reading about a new world, every day there seems to be news of more atrocities, more protesters shot at or beaten or arrested by the state. A female nurse trying to cope with the waves of victims from the government backlash (victims who had incidentally been asleep following a day's peaceful protest) summed up the whole situation; glaring at the Al Jazeera news camera she shouted incredulously: "Is this the democracy? Is this Bahrain? I don't know!"
Yet what has astonished me even more than the crimes committed by these governments against their people (I won't call them citizens, as this implies a level of freedom and civil rights that very few enjoy(ed) under Gaddafi, Mubarak or Ben Ali…and even Bahrain has been criticised for its lack of political freedom), is the manner in which communications technologies have been used.
I remember my father telling me about his time as a cameraman on ITV News,in particular relating to the coverage of the Paris riots of May 68. He remembers waiting in huddles around the radio, the scrabble of journalists when any news came through, the incredible pictures of students throwing cobblestones, pictures only obtained after hours or days of waiting. In history lessons students study posters, propaganda pamphlets and flyers pronouncing epic, slogans: "Be reasonable! Demand the Impossible!". Will future students find themselves studying print-outs from Twitter?
How different it is today! Protesters communicate with one another via mobile phones, they Tweet about events as they happen, post videos taken on their phones onto Youtube. In Egypt, many have credited much of the stirring up of anti-government action to a Facebook group called : "We are all Khaled Saeed" and to a video posted on Youtube by Asma Mahfouz. In her video, the human rights activist calls for people to join her on January 25th at Tahrir Square, she calls on people to Tweet, to send text messages and to tell friends on Facebook. Both this video and photos of Saeed's mutilated body were circulated online, providing the impetus for a flurry of widespread and tenacious demonstrations . Not only this, but reporters across the world were informed of events almost instantaneously and with incredible rigour. Videos of police beating protesters, harassing journalists, joining the demonstrations, and even acting inconspicuously during the widespread looting that took place when the government shut down banks and shops…seemingly everything was documented and everyone became a reporter. There was always someone in the right place at the right time.
The salience of mobiles phones and the internet was not lost on the governments involved; in Egypt and Libya internet and mobile phone networks were shut off periodically, and Al Jazeera was tellingly suspended from national television broadcasts in an attempt to stem the flow of information not only between the demonstrators, but also with the outside world.
It is the next bit that astonishes me: information just kept coming.
From old transistor radios to Morse code…people continued to let the world know what was happening in their country and the riots continued. What is the significance of this? So far, it would appear that new communications technology has been the essential instrument for informing, organising and motivating the powerful social struggles that we have been witnessing over the past few weeks. Take that away, even only partially, and I for one would expect it to make a very strong impact. Apparently not.
It may be that as a child of the Megabyte Generation, I have come to regard these new technologies simply as utensils: useful, certainly, but ultimately incapable of teaching me anything in themselves. A mobile phone allows me to call someone who can give me an answer to my question, the internet gives me access to a collective library of information (more or less accurate), but in themselves can a heap of fibre-optics and touch-screens teach me anything new? I feel like I have missed something. Maybe it is about the value of communication itself, the belief that by invading someone else's private reality I can make my reality theirs, and vice versa; the idea and overriding conviction that there is somebody out there who needs to know. Perhaps it is the notion that we ought all to take action and that, as bystanders, we not only have a right to speak out- we have a duty; we must find the means to do so, however archaic or technologically advanced these means may be.

Family Man
By CALVIN TRILLIN
Farrar Straus Giroux
Read the Review
The Evil Eye, the Tiny Deflator
Even if I were more inclined than I am to hand out advice that may be inappropriate and would probably be ignored anyway, I would be constrained by another consideration: the Evil Eye. People who treat the Evil Eye with some respect can tell you that anyone dispensing advice about family -- and thus implying that he and his own family are so blessed, so close to perfection that it behooves them to share with others the secret of their success -- is asking for trouble. I am talking now simply about people who treat the Evil Eye with some respect; true believers in the Evil Eye might even look upon a statement that your children haven't done any jail time as a way to invite a late-night call from a bail bondsman.
The Evil Eye is not spoken of much in modern American life. Among the young, you don't often even hear someone hedge his bet with a simple "knock on wood." The sort of public officials who are always lecturing us about family values seem not to fear the Evil Eye, any more than they seem to fear the possibility that some reporter might find it entertaining to uncover the circumstances of their last divorce or point out that they missed both of their children's high school graduation ceremonies. I'm not superstitious myself. I don't avoid black cats any more than I avoid cats of any color. Alice and I were married on Friday the 13th. I have never acknowledged that there is any superstition behind my policy of not resetting my watch until an airplane I'm flying in actually lands in the new time zone. To me, remaining on the old time until we're back on the ground is simply a technique for keeping the plane in the air -- a technique that has so far proven effective. Do I personally believe in the Evil Eye? Not exactly. All right, maybe a little bit.
Once, at the annual antiquarian book fair of PS 3, the slightly cockamamie and ultimately splendid Greenwich Village grade school that both of our girls attended after the words not hands nursery school, I happened upon a thick, serious-looking English-Yiddish dictionary. Even though Spanish and Russian and Cantonese have become more common than Yiddish in New York subways, Yiddish remains for New Yorkers the language of contention. I've always thought that visitors to the city should be given Yiddish phrase books by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau, except that instead of having phrases like "Could you please direct me to the nearest post office?" the New York phrase book would have phrases like "May boils break out on your liver!" or "May streetcars grow in the back of your throat!" At the time I spotted this dictionary, I owned two English-Yiddish dictionaries -- Leo Rosten's Joys of Yiddish and a volume called Dictionary Shmictionary -- but both of them are antic and anecdotal. I had never seen a serious English-Yiddish dictionary. I started leafing through it, and came to the word mees, which means ugly. (An ugly person is a meeskeit, rhyming with "geese bite"; there's a song by that name in Cabaret.) The first definition offered was, not surprisingly, "ugly." The second definition was "beautiful." That definition was followed by the explanation, in parentheses: "so as to fool the Evil Eye."
I found myself with two immediate responses. One was "What a language!" It's no wonder that in New York Irish cops and Bangladeshi cabdrivers and Dominican grocers feel the need to employ it in stressful moments. It's no wonder so many people are horrified at the prospect of its dying out. In what other language could one word mean both ugly and beautiful? My other response was that the custom alluded to by the second definition -- calling someone who's beautiful, particularly a beautiful child, a meeskeit just in case the Evil Eye happens to be tuned in -- might not be such a bad idea. As the advertisements for the New York State Lottery say, "Hey, you never know."
So have I never said anything about my children that might tempt the Evil Eye? It has to be said that there is a certain amount of tension between respect for the power of the Evil Eye and a parent's natural inclination to brag about his children. I happen to come from a tradition of bragging about children. My father -- a mild-mannered man who wouldn't have struck anyone as a boaster or a show-off -- used to travel a lot after he was more or less retired, and he often said to other travelers he met, "I'll show you a picture of my grandchildren if you promise that you won't go home and throw rocks at your own grandchildren." I've always been suspicious of parents who don't brag about their children. (When it comes to parents who routinely put down their children in conversations with casual acquaintances, I'm more than just suspicious. I think they should be arrested; if no charges stick, at least they'd have a chance of being roughed up at the station house.) If I run into someone who has a small child and is not carrying pictures, I start to wonder. "Has the kid turned mean and ugly, or what?" I ask. When someone I know becomes the father of a girl, I send him a sign that a kind man I knew in Tampa printed for me on a press he kept in his garage. On a light blue background is a quotation we've credited to President Franklin Pierce (he had so few): "Anyone who is not objectionable about his daughter is a pervert." Some of the new fathers put the sign on their office wall. Some of them use it as the center of a montage whose other elements are pictures of their daughter. Either way, it functions as an easement for excessive bragging.
I've tried to show some restraint, particularly in print. (The Evil Eye is known to be a voracious reader.) I haven't always managed. When Abigail was about six months old, Alice and I went to a dinner party on the West Side and were drawn into a conversation with other parents about whether it was safe for people who lived in Manhattan to leave a baby in a carriage on the sidewalk for just a few seconds while ducking into a store for, say, a newspaper. Many years later, there was a brief flutter of publicity in New York about two or three incidents of European visitors leaving their children unattended -- in one case, in a baby carriage outside a bar -- while they went about their business, only to have concerned New Yorkers call 911. Commentators took the occasion to point out that Europeans did not have the intense interest Americans do in the protection and entertainment of children -- meaning that, depending on the way you look at it, either Europe is a more mature culture or Europeans miss out on a lot of fun. One of the European parents involved said that leaving your baby in a carriage outside a saloon was common practice in Copenhagen, Denmark, a position that was answered in one of the tabloids under the headline "From the Folks Who Brought You Flimsy Furniture."
When the subject came up at the dinner party, I did not claim any cultural differences between the Village and the West Side. I said that it seemed to me to depend on the quality of the baby. "It would probably be O.K. if you had an ordinary baby," I heard myself saying. The other parents stared at me. It dawned on me that not many of them thought they had ordinary babies. Having already begun, though, I had to explain that a peek at my daughter in a baby carriage could trigger latent kidnapping instincts in the most saintly passerby. If I had already come across the English-Yiddish dictionary, I suppose I would have ended my explanation by winking at them conspiratorially and saying, "You see, she's a real meeskeit." If the contretemps involving the baby left outside of the bar had already taken place, I suppose I might have added, "The point is not that the mother couldn't have been much of a mother but that the baby couldn't have been much of a baby."
The perils inherent in being self-satisfied about your family are not limited to the Evil Eye. The Tiny Deflator is also a threat -- that small voice from the backseat that makes you realize that what you just said was, upon reflection, pretentious or silly or, if we're being absolutely literal about it, not strictly true. Almost all children can take the role of the Tiny Deflator, although some play it better than others. It may help to be from the Planet Green. When our daughters were on the edge of being old enough to take to the ballet, we decided they might like a Sunday matinee program at Lincoln Center that included Parade -- a jolly piece, famous for its backdrops by Picasso. As it turned out, we were right. The girls were entranced. Nobody got restless or cranky, not even me. After the performance, Alice thought of going to the Seagram Building, so that we could show Abigail and Sarah the Picasso backdrop in the Four Seasons restaurant. We all loved that, too. After the viewing, we went downstairs to the Brasserie, the restaurant on the ground floor, and had tea -- which is to say, if it was a typical tea in our family in that era, Alice had tea, the girls had ice cream and I had a scotch. The girls, I have to say, were looking particularly fetching in their special-event clothes. It was a period when they looked so fetching in their special-event clothes that some neighbors we hardly knew who were holding a wedding in the courtyard next to our house asked if our daughters could come to the ceremony in some rather Victorian dresses the girls then had -- acting as what people in New Orleans sometimes call scene-boosters. Just as our tea was ending, Sarah suddenly said, "You know, our family is different from other families."
Alice beamed. I may have beamed myself. I'm not much of a beamer, but it was, I thought, a special moment. I suppose Alice and I had been thinking thoughts not that far removed from what Sarah had expressed. We were feeling fortunate.
"Some families put a lot of toothpaste on their toothbrushes," Sarah continued. "But in our family, we don't put very much." The beams must have faded involuntarily, and Sarah must have noticed. "Also," she began, trying to save the moment, "our family has a special tuna fish recipe."
Twenty years or so after that outing, our entire family was in a hospital room, listening to the regimen the doctor expected me to follow when I went home to continue recuperating from heart bypass surgery -- how often I was to nap, how I was to avoid long periods at my desk. We all nodded soberly. When he had finished, I tried to look both brave and prudent. Then Abigail said, "I hate to say it, Daddy, but it's hard to see just how that differs from your regular routine." A Tiny Deflator, all grown up.

Powerful Baby Steps Proven to Improve Your Health
Hey there!
Wow, how did we get to summer already. I could have sworn I was just shoveling snow last week!
Today I want to try something amazingly simple to help those of you who have been meaning to start eating differently but just haven't been able to get going with it.
Foremost, don't feel bad. It's SO difficult to change our eating habits, especially where sugar is involved.
You're going up against the way your body/mind has evolved over thousands of years. Is it any wonder that you find yourself with that sugary something on its way down your gullet?
No, it isn't.
A recent study published in the The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proved that foods higher in sugar, as well as higher-glycemic foods are addictive. Even worse, they're addictive in the same way as cocaine and heroin.*
Let's make something abundantly clear. You WILL be able to improve what you choose to eat. Making those changes WILL improve your health. That's the science talking, not me.**
The study, "Isocaloric fructose restriction and metabolic improvement in children with obesity and metabolic syndrome" showed significant improvements in their health after a 9 day period:
"Jean-Marc Schwarz, PhD, of the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Touro University California and senior author of the paper added, "I have never seen results as striking or significant in our human studies; after only nine days of fructose restriction, the results are dramatic and consistent from subject to subject. These findings support the idea that it is essential for parents to evaluate sugar intake and to be mindful of the health effects of what their children are consuming."
This is why you repeatedly hear me say that doing a 10-Day Sugar Cleanse is the most effective way to gain control over your sweet tooth (especially for you soda drinkers!)
It's also been my personal experience that clearing out the sugar from the kitchen and from my body is the fastest, most effective path to creating the lifestyle changes we all want for ourselves.
I get it though, not everyone is ready to take that plunge, for whatever reason(s). What to do in that case?
Easy. Break it down into smaller actions that you know you'll be able to handle. Let's call it the 'Baby Step' approach.
Take a moment and brainstorm about what single, small change you can make to the way you eat, drink or move that is so easy to do it won't put any strain on your willpower.
Some suggestions:
Commit to drinking more water on a daily basis. Start with an additional glass at a specific time of day. You're going to create a routine. Make it as small as necessary to make it doable. For example, maybe only commit to 3 days in a row if 7 seems to hard.
Take the Free 5 Day Wet Whistle Plunge!
If there's a sugary something that you've wanted to take out of your diet for a while now? Go ahead and get rid of it for a day or a week. Perhaps you can find a substitute for it instead.
What's the smallest amount of exercise you can start with? You can add to it over time. The idea is to get going however you can. (A body in motion, stays in motion.)
Make your list of possible steps and then pick one to implement. Just one. Pick the quickest you can start. Now is perfect!
Leave a comment and let the world know what you're committing to. (Ok, it's just this tiny section of it but it'll still give you accountability ;)
Email me if you need any help coming up with ideas.
Diabetes is a totally preventable disease. Let's get you started preventing it ;)
ps - Did you just read all that? Aren't you a rock star...here's some sweetness for ya:
Drinking enough water is an easy way to dramatically improve your health and well-being without much effort or expense. This HowTo gives you a simple step-by-step strategy to get you sipping the Elixir on a daily basis in no time ;)

Despite the rocky start of me getting lost (my infamously terrible sense of direction is very much warranted) this shoot was so much fun! It was lovely to spend some more time with these two, and explore Leigh Woods in Bristol, all in the glorious June sunshine :)
I met Jas at Cardiff Chosen Wedding fair last year, and then again with John at Cardiff Museum earlier this year (where they are going to be tying the knot!) where we talked about their weddings plans and got to know each other a bit.
As well as a fantastic location these guys are also have an Asian Fusion wedding. Having shot a few before I can say I completely love the mash up of cultures and traditions, and can't wait to see what this one will be like! See you in August :)
...they also had these kind words to say about me!
"The engagement shoot really helped put us at ease about our wedding photos! We thought we would be quite nervous in front of the camera, but now that we've had a practice run and know how relaxed you keep things, we aren't worried at all. On top of that, it was a very enjoyable afternoon, and we now have some really nice photos as a couple to show for it."

scatterbrains...ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.Losing one phone to the next...*sigh*. My parents are making an issue over it....Well, the reason being that is that not all are of kin at my house...(well, i have nothing to add to that..but if that is really so, there is really no use in *theorizing*, unless it is proven, right?)
I got my replacement sim card at the Maxis near Leisure Mall. They charged me RM20 for the sim replacement.I finally got GPRS!!!! *wah. Wah. Wah.*
I borrowed Ai Ling's Nokia 2650. Nevrmind that I don't exactly like Nokias..beggars cant exactly be chooosers....*sticks tongue out*
Anyway, went to the Publishing office to meet my editor, Shirley. Yup. Yup. How coincidental that Rev. Rudy Liu was sharing at my church on Sunday, so I got the name card off his wife. Hehe..
Anyone interested in homeschooling? It sounds like an interesting concept....am actually considering it for my own children! *he he*.
Isn't it true that everyone is given the opportunity for a free ride until a person actually misuses this opportunity, and as a result of that, the company related will take and withdraw whatever priviledges that was extended earlier?
For example, when I was in HELP, and they were launchng their cybercafe (this way years ago in the late 90s),
everyone had unlimited time and access to use the facilities. UP UNTIL one day, it was found that a speaker was stolen from the cybercafe....and....*tadah* they finally withdraw all priviledges, and limited each person to an hour's use of the facilities, and everyone who wanted to use had to register their names.
Even in a company, if staff are dishonest by taking things out to sell without informing the company, this results in a withdrawal of priviledges to all involved, consequences reaching even the clients who were not involved in the first place.
Seriously, these people who are dishonest, or steal, hoping to make a quick buck, really do not think about how their actions could affect others...coz they are TOO SELF-CENTERED, SELFISH and everything is about THEMSELVES. THEMSELVES. THEMSELVES. THEMSELVES! Idiots. What stupid pathetic idiots. Yes, they are! What have they to say in defence of themselves??!!!!
Anyway, I have been sick for the past few days. Had a terrible headache last evening. So much for a grand start to the school holidays. *blech*. Do pray for me to recover!
Ok, Cheryl, you want to know which is my favourite soccer team? Actually...I don't have any...I am just being a *tease*........But Chelsea and Liverpool are definitely good teams lar......Chelsea highest in terms of the point system anyway.

City wants traffic concessions for cyclists
Ah, this is the Projet I know: the city is asking Quebec for traffic concessions for cyclists. TVA lists the five changes being asked for.
In other good news, Quebec's transport minister is refusing to reopen the question of right turns on red for motorists in Montreal.
Also in transit: the city's going to do something about distracting billboards by autoroutes.

Casino Watch Focus reported that the Coalition to oppose the Florida destination casinos bill had grown to an impressive level when top Florida Cabinet members Bondi, Putnam, and Atwater joined the fray. Now that the short, 60-day legislative session has begun, the clock is ticking on the bill's supporter, Senator Bogdanoff, to get the votes necessary to pass the legislation. The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that the uphill battle has caused Senator Bogdanoff to rewrite the bill in a desperate hope to get support:
Senate sponsor Ellyn Bogdanoff last week released a 170-page rewrite of the bill to help take pressure off reluctant lawmakers by including a requirement that any county — including Miami Dade or Broward — that wants to attract one of three mega resorts must first get voter approval.
To win over supporters of the existing pari-mutuels, the revised bill allows them to operate Las Vegas-style games and receive a lowered tax rate if they compete directly with the new casinos. And across the state, any struggling horse and dog tracks and jai alai frontons would be allowed to ask voters to let them install slot machines.
The bill also attempts to win over gaming opponents. Bogdanoff, a Fort Lauderdale Republican, and House sponsor, Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, would ban new pari-mutuel permits, regulate or close internet cafes and set up a strict new regulatory structure. The state would create a new "Department of Gaming Control" to administer and license the casino resorts and regulate the pari-mutuels and card rooms.
The bill has the effect of expanding gambling even more under the guise of allowing public choice. The best chance for the bill to gain early traction appears to be in the Senate. The Tampa Bay Times explains:
There is no guarantee these changes will assuage critics when the bill comes up for its first vote in the Senate. But the bigger test is in the House, where a conservative Republican majority and a presiding officer, whose home territory includes Disney World in Orlando, are reluctant to open the door to anything that could harm the state's family-friendly tourism image. One thing is certain about the looming legislative debate over gambling: It will be an epic battle in Tallahassee.

There are many stages of a police investigation into a crime.
Below outlines a brief summary of the investigation process:
Telephone Investigation:
Once We Have Left the Scene
When the police leave the scene of a crime, investigations continue and they will do all they can to investigate your reported crime, this may mean carrying out further forensic tests, speaking to witnesses to take further statements and viewing CCTV evidence. Only when all lines of enquiry have been exhausted will the police close the file and explain to you the reason why.
We continue to look at crime trends and patterns to target offenders and if any further information comes to light we will investigate these lines of enquiry, even if it is months or years later.
No Further Action or Enquiries
When you report a crime a specially trained call taker will ask you questions, assess your call and put the details onto the police computer. If after a consideration it is believed that nothing further can be done in relation to the police investigating your report, you will be informed as soon as possible.
Under the Codes of Practice for Victims of Crime, police must tell you if there won't be any investigation within five days of reporting the crime.

We have a clearer picture of how the NFL will combat the threat that degenerative brain disease poses to a business that hopes it will achieve $27 billion in annual revenue by 2027.
The playbook is thick, with a gameplan that includes heavily lobbying members of a congressional committee reviewing concussion research, putting out a cohesive message that the science isn't yet conclusive on the link between football and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and revamping its public-relations approach by hiring a person wise in the ways of politics to rebut stories it deems negative.
One component of the NFL's approach is using its influence with politicians. Its political action committee, according to the San Jose Mercury News, has given nearly $300,000 in campaign contributions to 41 of 54 members of the congressional committee reviewing concussion research. MapLight, a Berkeley, Calif., group told the newspaper that campaign finance data since 2008 shows that the NFL's Gridiron PAC has supported members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that began informal hearings.
[The NFL can't seem to make up its mind on concussions and CTE]
It was during a round table on Capitol Hill on March 14 that Jeff Miller, the NFL's senior vice president for health and safety policy, was asked if there was a link between playing football and CTE. He answered: "The answer to that question is certainly yes."
The NFL had little choice but to support the statement, the first by a senior league official acknowledging such a link exits. But the NFL used its annual meetings this week to paint a much less clear picture. Commissioner Roger Goodell wouldn't directly answer a question from reporters about whether he believed there's a link, though he went on to say that Miller was only re-stating what has long been the league's position. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Houston Texans owner Bob McNair weren't so sure.
"That's absurd," Jones told The Post's Mark Maske about a possible connection. "There's no data that in any way creates a knowledge. There's no way that you could have made a comment that there is an association and some type of assertion. In most things, you have to back it up by studies. And in this particular case, we all know how medicine is. Medicine is evolving."
Jones added: "We have millions of people that have played this game, have millions of people that are at various ages right now that have no issues at all. None at all. So that's where we are. That didn't alter at all what we're doing about it. We're going to do everything we can to understand it better and make it safer."
[What does the NFL's admission of a CTE link mean for the future of football?]
McNair agreed, telling ESPN.com: "We don't know does CTE exist among people who've never had any contact? We don't know. Because when you're alive they can't check for it," McNair said, according to ESPN.com. "The only players, the brains that have been checked, were ones who clearly were having problems. So it wasn't a scientific sample that they were dealing with. We've got thousands of players who are not suffering from dementia of any type. So we have a lot to learn yet."
The league has stepped up its public relations as well as its influence in Washington, with new jobs given to Joe Lockhart and Cynthia Hogan. Lockhart, a White House press secretary and senior adviser during the Clinton administration, is the NFL's new executive vice president of communications and Hogan, a deputy assistant to the president and counsel to the vice president from 2009-13 in the Obama administration, is now the senior vice president of public policy and government affairs.
On the heels of mixed signals the NFL has sent came a story Thursday in the New York Times, which reported that the league's previous concussion research was "more flawed than previously known" and looked at the relationship between some with league ties and Big Tobacco.
"Concussions can hardly be equated with smoking, which kills 1,300 people a day in the United States, and The Times has found no direct evidence that the league took its strategy from Big Tobacco. But records show a long relationship between two businesses with little in common beyond the health risks associated with their products," the story states.
It goes on to note:
In a letter to The Times, a lawyer for the league said, "The NFL is not the tobacco industry; it had no connection to the tobacco industry," which he called "perhaps the most odious industry in American history."
Still, the records show that the two businesses shared lobbyists, lawyers and consultants. Personal correspondence underscored their friendships, including dinner invitations and a request for lobbying advice.
The Times' investigation points out that many teams withheld concussion information on more than 100 cases, including those involving Troy Aikman and Steve Young. That led to studies that were flawed, whether innocently or intentionally.
The NFL faced criticism for being unresponsive during its 2014 domestic violence crisis, but that's the old way of doing business. This time, the NFL fired back. It issued a lengthy statement with a six-point rebuttal in which it said the Times "published pages of innuendo and speculation for a headline with no basis in fact." Among other things, the statement said:
The studies that are the focus of the Times' story used data collected between 1996-2001. They were necessarily preliminary and acknowledged that much more research was needed. Since that time, the NFL has been on the forefront of promoting and funding independent research on these complex issues. Further, the data from the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) Committee studies have not been used in any way by the current Head, Neck and Spine Committee in its research on player health and safety. All of the current policies relating to player medical care and the treatment of concussions have been carefully developed in conjunction with independent experts on our medical committees, the NFLPA, and leading bodies such as the CDC.
Calling the Times' story "sensationalized," the statement concludes: "Contact sports will never be concussion-free, but we are dedicated to caring for our players, not just throughout long careers but over the course of long lives."
The NFL wasn't done there, though.
Lockhart and NFL general counsel Jeff Pash followed up with a lengthy memo (read it here) in which it promises "chief executives" and "club presidents" that "we will continue to press both the Times and other media outlets to print facts, not innuendo and speculation. Today's piece, unfortunately, is very much on the latter side of that line."
And Lockhart followed up with an even longer statement (read it here) in the late afternoon, concluding: "The facts, fairly read, are clear. The NFL is not the tobacco industry. It had no connection to the tobacco industry. Nor did it follow the tobacco industry playbook to conceal data to skew scientific research. The Times had the facts – now you do."

Hi all,
Newbie here, I'm in my 30s and just starting out. I know very little so I'm looking forward to picking up lots of tips and ideas. I hope to contribute where I can too. My dad dose a bit of fishing so I have someone to take me out and teach me the basics!

Witkin Gallery, New York
Collection of James R. Rochlis, acquired from the above, 1969
Sotheby's New York, 17 October 2003, Sale 7925, Lot 145
Frances D. McMullen, 'Lowly Things That Yield Strange Stark Beauty,' New York Times Magazine, 16 November 1930, p. 7
Ben Maddow, Edward Weston: Fifty Years (Aperture, 1973), p. 149
Barbara Haskell, The American Century: Art & Culture, 1900-1950 (Whitney Museum of American Art, 1999), fig. 387, p. 201
Brett Abbott, In Focus: Edward Weston (J. Paul Getty, Museum, 2005), front wrapper and pl. 25
The significance of Weston's shell photographs to his oeuvre and to the history of art cannot be overestimated. His photographs of shells, placed before a plain, dark background, exemplify his achievement as an artist. These deceptively simple arrangements belie the complexity of their conception and their making, the years of evolution in Weston's own vision, and his countless trials with objects before the camera. In a world inundated with photographic imagery, Weston's shell photographs continue to resonate, both in the history of photography and in the broader category of twentieth-century art as a whole.
Conger notes that this double shell image was included in important early Weston exhibitions, among them ones at the Seattle Fine Arts Society in 1928, the Delphic Gallery in New York in 1930, and the Morgan Camera Shop in Los Angeles in 1939. The New York Times, in its fine review of the landmark Delphic Gallery exhibition, chose the present image as the lead illustration. The reviewer, Frances McMullen, praised above all Weston's transcendent photographs of the ordinary—vegetables, fruit, rocks, and shells. 'The result is a beauty that is entirely photographic,' McMullen wrote, 'relying for its peculiar quality upon exact rendition of the physical texture of things . . . The technique is one of detail . . . relentlessly intent '(New York Times, 16 November 1930).
This photograph was for several decades owned by the pioneering photographs collector James J. Rochlis (1916 – 2002), whose collection was offered in these rooms in October 2003. One of Lee Witkin's most important clients in the Witkin Gallery's early years, Rochlis was a successful businessman with Chris-Craft Industries, as well as an accomplished photographer. Provenance notes kept by Rochlis and his wife Riva indicate that the present print likely came from the collection of the artist Rockwell Kent. From Weston's California daybook, we know that Weston corresponded with Kent in the spring of 1928. Creative Art magazine, for which Kent was a contributing editor, published an article by Weston later that year, illustrated with another of Weston's double-shell photographs (Conger 545). Although there are few further published documents between Kent and Weston, Weston included Rockwell Kent in a list of sponsors for his first Guggenheim fellowship in 1936. Physical aspects of the print's mount may also confirm a Kent provenance.
Weston recorded eighteen prints of this study in his negative log at the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, but few early prints have been located at the time of this writing. There is no print in the nearly definitive Edward Weston collection of the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson. Conger (F.3) lists prints in four other institutions, but only one is likely to be as early as the print offered here, that in the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a gift of Albert Bender. Other than the present print, no print of this image in this superb early state is believed to have appeared at auction.

Thin-Skinned Generex Sues Critic, Tarnishing the Biotech's Already Sketchy Image
Generex is claiming that a series of articles Feuerstein wrote knocking the biotech's oral insulin spray constitute "business defamation, product disparagement, and injurious falsehood." They've sued for $250 million, which is nearly double Generex's $129 million market cap. Even before Feuerstein's bearish articles began to appear last month, Generex was only worth roughly $162 million.
Feuerstein's conclusions were harsh. He called Generex a "total bust" and accused the company of:
using science and the quest to develop an alternative insulin delivery method not to actually help diabetics but as a ruse to perpetuate a 15 year-long stock promotion scheme.But it's hard to argue Feuerstein didn't do his homework:
- He got expert opinions. Paul Robertson, a diabetes expert and past president for medicine and science at the American Diabetes Association, said absorption of insulin through the lining of the mouth is too erratic and potentially dangerous. Meanwhile, David Kliff, a diabetic who runs the well-respected Diabetic Investor newsletter, said "Generex is full of crap -- always."
- He noted that while Generex claims its Oral-lyn oral insulin spray is approved in Ecuador, India, Lebanon and Algeria, the company doesn't book product revenues.
- He reports that most of Generex's clinical trials have been small, while other drugs angling for diabetes approvals are tested in thousands of patients.
- He points out that Generex is prone to hype. The company issued a press release claiming "successful Phase III study data" when it had data from just 60 of 750 patients in its late-stage U.S. trial.
- He calls Generex out for promoting Oral-lyn's approval in India but failing to disclose that the drug had been pulled off the market.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Boston Scientific Corp. BSX, +1.40% on Friday called its meeting with the Food and Drug Administration "productive," and said the company "reviewed with the FDA a path to resolve the issues they have identified." Last week, the medical device maker said it had received another FDA warning letter stating that the quality-control systems at several of its facilities were still inadequate, even after receiving prior warnings. "We take these issues very seriously and are making progress addressing them," Boston Scientific Chief Executive Jim Tobin said in a statement. "Resolving these issues is our highest priority."

Congratulations to the winners of the ACC's 2018 grants program
Editor's note: The Alpine Club of Canada maintains or administers permanent funds to which people may apply for financial support for their mountain-related projects and initiatives. Support is provided in the form of annual cash grants and scholarships to individuals and groups who are judged as best meeting the selection criteria.
Today, we're proud to announce the 2018 winners of the ACC Environment Grant, the Jen Higgins Grant for Young Women, the Jim Colpitts Memorial Scholarship and the Karl Nagy Memorial Scholarship. In total, the ACC will be awarding $17,675 in funding to the following applicants this year. Congratulations to all of our winners!
ACC Environment Grant
Recipient: ACC Vancouver Section
Project: to assist in building a composting toilet at the Jim Haberl Hut in the Tantalus Range near Squamish, BC.
Funding awarded: $2990
The Jim Haberl Hut is a popular destination for alpine enthusiasts who wish to gain access to various alpine climbing routes in the area. The composting toilet would be a huge benefit to the environment around the hut by minimizing the impacts and maintenance on this facility.
Recipient: Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative
Project: to collect research and field samples from alpine habitat in British Columbia (BC)'s Wild Hart ranges, and to provide film and photography to communicate the value of the Hart landscape and wildlife to key audiences in support of conservation action.
Funding awarded: $2990
Y2Y is a joint Canada-U.S. not-for-profit organization with a mission to connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so people and nature can thrive. The activities listed in the grant application are a vital part of a multi-year conservation campaign to protect critical remaining wildlife habitat and areas of outstanding natural beauty and 'quiet' wilderness recreation in the northeastern Peace Region of BC. The campaign will ultimately benefit wildlife, local communities including First Nations, and recreationalists.
Jen Higgins Grant for Young Women
Recipients: Sam French, Melissa Makepeace, and Sarah Sasges
Objective: ski tour south to north in Mt. Edziza Provincial Park, BC, crossing over the Spectrum Range and Mt. Edziza itself.
Funding awarded: $3500
The planned traverse is 68 km long with 4,325 metres of elevation gain and 4,190 metres of elevation loss. They are undertaking this trip to inspire and encourage other women in the outdoor community to take responsibility for their own development as leaders.
RECIPIENT: Isobel Glover
Objective: hike the complete length of Vancouver Island (700km), from tip to tip, utilizing the VI Spine Trail.
Funding awarded: $2800
Isobel plans to traverse the complete length of Vancouver Island, in one go, starting from her front door, and passing through the easternmost point (10-mile point, in Saanich) and the westernmost point (Cape Scott) of the Island, entirely on foot. In doing this, she will contribute to building a hiking community on Vancouver Island, particularly by lowering the barrier to wilderness hiking for people with little experience. She will demonstrate that hiking on Vancouver Island can be accessible, low cost, and environmentally responsible.
RECIPIENTS: Gemma Wilson and Rose Pearson
Objective: to make the first female team ascent of the Moonflower Buttress on Mt Hunter, Alaska.
Funding awarded: $2200
The route is well known in the climbing community as a world-class objective. They are inspired to climb this route because they are both passionate about ice and mixed climbing. Combined, they have climbed ice and mixed routes in Chamonix, New Zealand, Scotland and the Canadian Rockies.
Jim Colpitts Memorial Scholarship
Recipient: Logan Grasby
Funding amount: $500
This award will go towards Logan taking his Top Rope Climbing Instructor course through the ACMG. He plans to use this to run an outdoor kids climbing camp for Mount Royal University, build leadership skills for ACC section trips, as well as practice core guiding skills in preparation for his future Apprentice Rock Guide Certification.
