Using ArcGIS to Study the New Lakes in the Toshka Basin in Egypt and Evaluate Egypt's New Valley Project
This activity was selected for the On the Cutting Edge Exemplary Teaching Collection
Resources in this top level collection a) must have scored Exemplary or Very Good in all five review categories, and must also rate as "Exemplary" in at least three of the five categories. The five categories included in the peer review process are
- Scientific Accuracy
- Alignment of Learning Goals, Activities, and Assessments
- Pedagogic Effectiveness
- Robustness (usability and dependability of all components)
- Completeness of the ActivitySheet web page
For more information about the peer review process itself, please see https://serc.carleton.edu/teachearth/activity_review.html.
This activity has benefited from input from faculty educators beyond the author through a review and suggestion process. This review took place as a part of a faculty professional development workshop where groups of faculty reviewed each others' activities and offered feedback and ideas for improvements. To learn more about the process On the Cutting Edge uses for activity review, see http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/review.html.

Description of the activity/assignment
Egypt has embarked on a long-term and far-reaching irrigation plan to create habitable land away from the Nile River Valley. The Toshka Lakes are not, however, a formal part of the project. One of the main points of the exercise is to have students use both their knowledge of Saharan hydrogeology and GIS analyses to evaluate whether the Egyptians are wise not to use the lakes as part of the proposed system of water distribution.
In this exercise, students download and prepare their own SRTM DEMs and learn how to determine areas and volumes using ArcGIS. They can then ask questions and use ArcGIS to determine the answers. How much water is in the Toshka Lakes? What happens if Lake Nasser rises and more water flows down the canal? Will more lakes form, or will the lakes that are there just get bigger? How much water might be evaporating from the lake surfaces? How much water has to flow down the canal to keep the lakes at a particular level? What might happen as the annual Nile flood fluctuates from year to year?
The document posted for downloading contains two homework assignments, two in-class activities, and a wrap-up assignment.
You can also download a GIS Primer (Acrobat (PDF) 1.2MB Mar30 10) that we have written, which is a simple GIS "how-to" manual for tasks including those used in this exercise.

Spherical plain bearings
Spherical plain bearings are standardized, ready-to-mount, mechanical components that enable multi-directional, self-aligning movements. The inner ring has a spherical convex outside diameter, while the outer ring has a correspondingly concave inside diameter (fig. 1). The forces acting on the bearing may be static or may occur when the bearing makes oscillating or recurrent tilting and slewing movements at relatively low speeds.
Design advantages inherent to spherical plain bearings include the ability to:
Rod ends
Spherical plain bearing rod ends are bearing units that consist of a spherical plain bearing in the eye-shaped head of the rod end housing (fig. 6). They are used primarily on the ends of hydraulic or pneumatic pistons to join the cylinder to an associated component via an internal (female) thread, external (male) thread or a welding shank (Bearing designs and features).
SKF supplies rod ends with a threaded shank with a right-hand thread as standard. With the exception of rod ends with the designation suffix VZ019, all rod ends are also available with a left-hand thread. They are identified by the designation prefix L.

The 'Pathways to Deep Decarbonisation in 2050: How Australia can prosper in a low carbon world' report, released 23 September 2014, presents an illustrative deep decarbonisation pathway for Australia – just one of many possible pathways – developed using a combination of well-established modelling tools to identify feasible and least-cost options. Read the summary report here.
This work finds that Australia can achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and live within its recommended carbon budget, using technologies that exist today, while maintaining economic prosperity. Major technological transitions and many activities are needed in some industries, but no fundamental change to Australia's economy is required. The technologies required for decarbonisation are currently available or under development.
Decarbonisation of energy systems in all countries relies on three pillars: ambitious energy efficiency; low carbon electricity; and electrification and fuel switching. For Australia there is a fourth pillar: reducing non-energy emissions in industry and agriculture. Read the technical report here.
ClimateWorks Australia and the Australian National University (ANU) were appointed to lead Australia's participation in the global 2050 Deep Decarbonisation Pathways Project (DDPP), coordinated by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN).
The project, locally known as 'Pathways to Deep Decarbonisation in 2050: How Australia can prosper in a low carbon world', draws on research and analysis from 15 participating country teams, which collectively represents more than 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Working within a coordinated framework, each country is exploring the potential to achieve deep decarbonisation, while maintaining economic prosperity, with the goal of limiting a global temperature rise of 2° Celsius.
The broad objectives of the project are to:
- Prepare transparent and practical national pathways to help countries adopt and implement policies to achieve deep decarbonisation.
- Support international climate change negotiations by helping decision makers and the global community to understand how deep decarbonisation can be achieved.
- Support positive outcomes of the 2014 World Leaders Climate Summit, convened by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, and the 2015 Conference of the Parties (COP21) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
- Build an on-going global network to facilitate learning and promote problem solving in the implementation phase of national deep decarbonisation strategies after 2015.
There are a range of possible pathways, using existing technologies, to a 2050 decarbonised and prosperous Australia, with the project identifying the best available options on how this can be achieved. ClimateWorks Australia and the ANU, with support of CSIRO and Victoria University's Centre for Policy Studies (CoPS), have now submitted their findings to the SDSN.

Exporting Access 2007 Tables to Other File Formats
While every Microsoft Access 2007 object can be exported, exporting the data in a table or query to another program — such as a spreadsheet — is the most common export task. Exporting a table or query involves reorganizing the data it contains into a different format. As with importing, Access can translate the data into a variety of file formats depending on your needs.
Export formats
The External Data tab on the Ribbon reveals all file formats to which the object can be exported. (Access exports to the same formats that it imports. Access also exports to PDF — Adobe Acrobat files — and Microsoft Word.)
The main problem to keep an eye out for when exporting is data loss. A fabulous Access table doesn't always translate to a fabulous Paradox table. Not all databases share the same rules for
- Data types: Special Access data types such as AutoNumber, Yes/No, Memo, and OLE are almost sure to cause problems in other programs. You may need some creative problem solving to make the data work just the way you want it to work.
- Field names: Each database program has its own set of rules governing field names such as the length of and the special characters (like a dollar or percent sign) allowed in the field name.
- To avoid field name problems during export, keep your field names short and use only letters and numbers while naming your Access fields. If your Access table's field names break the rules of the program you are exporting to, the export will not work properly.
Be ready to spend time tuning the export so that it works just the way you want. If you have a problem during export, consult the documentation of the software whose file format you are exporting to for field name and data type rules.
Exporting table or query data
The steps to exporting a table or query are simple:
1. With the database open, click the table or query that you want to export.
The table name is highlighted.
2. Click the External Data tab on the Ribbon.
The Export tool group appears on the Ribbon:
• The common exporting tasks have their own buttons.
• The seldom used formats are lumped onto the More button.
3. Click the tool that matches the program to which you'll export your data.
An Export dialog box customized to your format of choice appears.
4. Follow the steps in the Export dialog box to complete the export.
The Export dialog box will display the choices for your export file format:
• Every choice will ask for a filename (including path) for your exported data.
• Some export processes also ask whether you want to open your new file after the export is complete. This can prevent a frustrating search after you save the file.
5. Select the Save Export Steps check box if you know you'll do this export again.
The Ribbon contains a button called Saved Exports. Use this to easily export a table or query on a routine basis.

Recently, Madonna created some buzz when she mentioned "Molly" at Miami's Ultra Music Festival. Madonna shouted to the audience, "How many people in the crowd have seen Molly?"
Madonna was talking about the song "Have You Seen Molly?" by Cedric Gervais. However, "Molly" is also a nickname for MDMA. Many news outlets reported that the legendary pop singer was talking about drugs, not the song. Madonna responded by saying, "I don't support drug use and I never have."
All About Molly
We were happy to hear that Madonna doesn't encourage her fans to use MDMA, because it's a very dangerous drug. MDMA is manmade—similar to the stimulant methamphetamine. It's commonly used at dance clubs and concerts, and can make people feel like they have more energy and less fear. But the myths about MDMA being "pure and safe" are definitely not true.
Let us introduce you to the real Molly.
- Molly Is Often Mixed Up. MDMA is a synthetic drug, meaning that it's made of chemicals. It comes in colorful pills, tablets, or capsules that sometimes have cartoon-like images on them. Sometimes each pill, or batch of pills, can have different combinations of substances in the mix and cause unknown consequences.
- Molly Makes You Hyper. People who use MDMA might feel very alert, or "hyper." But MDMA can also cause muscle cramping, nausea, blurred vision, increased heart rate and blood pressure—and in rare cases, hyperthermia and even death.
- Molly Can Depress You. Potential side effects of MDMA include feelings of sadness, anxiety, depression, and memory difficulties. These can last for several days to a week (or longer in people who use it regularly).
- Molly Is Dangerous. MDMA can be extremely dangerous in high doses—increasing the risk of seizures and compromising the heart's ability to maintain its normal rhythms. A study in animals showed that exposure to high doses of MDMA for 4 days produced brain damage that could still be seen 6 to 7 years later.
Ecstasy and MDMA Use Is Rising
Despite these harmful consequences, NIDA's Monitoring the Future study shows that past-year Ecstasy use is up significantly among college students and young adults age 19–28. Another report shows that emergency room visits related to Ecstasy increased nearly 123 percent from 2004 to 2009; two-thirds of these visits involved 18–29 year olds. This is troubling news, since we're still learning how Ecstasy affects the brain.
Tell us what you think of Madonna's "Molly" mix-up. If Madonna's comment had been referring to drug use, would that change your opinion of her? Are you more likely to buy her album "MDNA" (coincidentally similar to MDMA) since hearing about this in the news? Let us know in the comments.
Update: For more on Molly, check out our post, "Have You Seen Molly? Even if You Think So, You May Have Been Fooled."
Definately talking about MDMA there's no way she was at ultra and wasn't talking about the drug
For Year madonna had inspire sex, drugs and many other things....it is no surprise if she did mention Molly as the drug and cover it up with ohhhh nooo is about the song....people need to wake up and see things for what they are not what you make of them... drugs are taking over our future generation and some parents dont seem to care.. all this entertaiment people saddlly have the influence to guide kids to kill, hurt and become nothing better in their life.
when did she say this i am doin a progect on molly.
will everyone shut up about it we all no that madonna is a druggy and we no she was talking about molly in the song but who really cares there are way worst songs then this and u dont see people complaining about them now do u ?? enuf said
Wow is all I have 2 say
When you say, "MDMA is a synthetic drug, meaning that it's made of chemicals."
This is just incorrect. MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine), is one chemical. So pure MDMA is not a mixture.
Saying that something is a synthetic drug does not mean it is made of chemicals. A synthetic drug is one that is synthesized from chemical precursors, and not found in nature. Some drugs can be naturally occurring and can be synthesized. A good example is cocaine, which is made from coca plants found in nature... or can be made synthetically in a laboratory setting.
And let us all keep in mind that the four base pairs that make up our DNA are chemicals, so its a bit unfair to use the word "chemical" with a negative connotation.
Dear author, please know what you are talking about before you write something down.
- A chemist.
Yes, MDMA is a single chemical. BUT the pills sold as MDMA (or ecstasy) rarely contain just MDMA. Test results range widely – but, on average, only about a quarter contain just MDMA – and almost half don't contain any MDMA at all!
@Tom MDMA, also known as Ecstasy or Molly, can pack a punch. Since it's man-made (not a plant), you never know exactly what's in it. Users may end up with long-lasting confusion and depression and trouble with attention and memory. For more info about the effects of MDMA, check the facts here: https://teens.drugabuse.gov/drug-facts/ecstasy-mdma
Duh of course she was talking about drugs! Shes a druggie herself! She was at a club saying Molly when Molly is a "club-drug"! But, it doesn't matter at the end of the day drugs are illegal,life ruining, and expensive little things. But hey if they got the money to buy it, and they want to ruin their body and brain then fine who are we to judge by sitting here talking about some lame pop singer as if we know her and what she's been through? I say yes she was talking about MDMA and her album MDNA is not just a coincidince! But, just leave the chick alone! [deleted, inappropriate comment, per guidelines].
@Trey Hi Trey,
Believe me, it is good you've stopped smoking loud (strong marijuana). When a drug is the only thing in a person's life that makes them feel good inside (as you put it), it's a sign they are becoming addicted. If you were smoking loud every day, you likely were becoming dependent on it, and that's why it feels so bad right now to not be smoking it. People who smoke lots of marijuana at your age, even when they don't get addicted, alter their brain development and set themselves up for all kinds of failure at school and in life. Molly (MDMA, or ecstasy) can also screw up your brain. People make it sound fun, but some users wind up with long-lasting confusion and depression and trouble with attention and memory.
Drugs seem like shortcuts to happiness, but they are traps that can make you less happy in the long run.
For more on marijuana, see our booklet Marijuana<http://www.drugabuse.gov/sites/default/files/teens_marijuana_brochure.pdf> Facts for Teens<http://www.drugabuse.gov/sites/default/files/teens_marijuana_brochure.pdf>. For more on "molly," click on our Drug Facts: <http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/mdma-ecstasy> MDMA<http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/mdma-ecstasy>.
The source you are citing, "thedea.org" is not related to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA.gov); it is one of many sites on the Internet aimed at promoting drug use or legalization and masquerading as an official or authoritative source. (If you are interested, the real DEA's fact sheet on Ecstasy/MDMA is here:https://www.dea.gov/factsheets/ecstasy-or-mdma-also-known-molly.) The truth of the matter is that MDMA does affect levels of dopamine, along with serotonin and norepinephrine, and that frequent use may lead to prolonged mood, attention, and sleep problems. It's not as addictive as some other drugs, such as cocaine, but some studies suggest dependence is possible. As for the purity of Molly, lots of capsules supposedly containing Molly (which is a term referring to pure MDMA powder) have been found to contain other ingredients, including cocaine, heroin, and bath salts. Just because someone says it's Molly doesn't mean it's Molly—you can never know what is really in an illegal drug you buy or are given. (For a report on bath salts being sold as "Molly," see our short video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBwBioVwkCY)
@Rose, Treatment for abuse of MDMA would be similar to treatment for other forms of drug addiction or abuse. For adolescents, it would consist of behavioral therapy, either one-on-one with a doctor or with the family participating.

Cardinals outfield Carlos Beltrán may rank sixth in extra-base hits among active players, but he clearly thinks he's #1 at something—as his use of nonverbals at today's Braves-Cardinals game displayed. (Enjoy the SportSouth crew fumbling to cover for the extended middle finger.)
Update (4:37 p.m.): Some of you are suggesting it is his ring finger, in which case Beltrán does not even know how to properly flip the bird, since it is obvious that is what he is trying to do.

Big playoff games deserve big bar specials.
A $3 domestics deal might have worked a couple of months ago, but the AFC championship game demands more. As players elevate their games, it's only fitting sports bars do, too.
This concept is not lost on No Idea Tavern, the cozy Federal Hill bar a comfortable distance from the Cross Street Market madness. There are only four words you need to know about No Idea's Ravens special on Sunday: all you can drink.
Although it's normally a New York Jets bar, No Idea will make an excellent spot for Ravens and Patriots fans, given its 17 TVs and larger-than-expected space. There's even Wi-Fi (for the many Facebook statuses, Tweets and Instagram photos you'll post) and shuffleboard.
Drinks: For $20, Bud Lights and rail mixed drinks are all-you-can-drink from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. No Idea is accepting reservations for parties of eight or more, and each table gets a 750-ml. bottle of Fireball, the now ubiquitous cinnamon-flavored liqueur, as long as each person does the all-you-can-drink deal. This same deal will be offered for the Super Bowl, whether or not the Ravens are in it.
Food: There are no food deals during the game, but No Idea's menu offers bar food with prices comparable to other popular sports bars in Baltimore. There's also a brunch menu offered from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in case you're getting there really early.
Atmosphere: Compared to other, more popular Federal Hill sports bars, No Idea is comfortable and warm. It could be the least obnoxious sports bar in the neighborhood, which is quite an accomplishment.
Parking: Parking can be tricky because the streets closest require residential permits, so read the signs carefully. There's always the West Street garage nearby.
If you go
No Idea Tavern, at 1649 S. Hanover St., is open 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. However, it will open at 9 a.m. this Sunday only. Call 410-685-4332 or go to noideatavern.com.

The book presents in a comprehensive fashion European film policies in the context of both EU and international law. It relies on a broad survey of national and EU film policy measures, the EU practice in the areas of state aid, antitrust and merger law with respect to the sector and the application of international trade law to film policy instruments. These three different bodies of law are systematically analysed to assess how cultural policy considerations underlying film policy can be married to market forces. The EU experience is studied in depth as the book argues that it can effectively serve as a model to reconcile these sometimes conflicting goals in the global trade arena. This justifies the attention paid to the way in which cultural objectives of film policies are accommodated within the EU competition law framework. The book contributes valuably to the current debate on cultural diversity and free trade by providing a more harmonious if not a symbiotic vision of this relationship.

I'd like to be a better blogger. I really would. It's been almost a year since my last update where I threw tons of stuff together into a blog post and promised to do better and then I left it til now to update again. The more I put it off, the more there is to blog about, the harder it is to write that post! Ugh!
Anyways, I'm on a plane now [or I was when this blog post started being written – it's now a month later as I'm continuing (finishing?) it] so the plan is to run through the last 11 months as Dani and I remember them, get caught up, and then from now on she'll help me run this blog, now renamed to runningstix.com! Team Stix is here! 😀 We like the idea of a blog for a number of reasons.. Keeping track of events, best-of pictures, and information on previous events, but also there's been some information we've come across that was hard/impossible to find online with Google and hopefully us posting about it will help others find better info if they're looking for the same things later. Like a 30 km run in Kananaskis, something we've done a few times now, and every time it's not what we expected. 🙂
I'm rambling. On with the history!
Last October after the last post, we ran the Grizzly 50K out in Canmore. I like this race! It was my first 50K in 2013 just before I met Danielle and it's what got us talking in the first place, actually! She ran it for the first time in 2014 and had a stellar performance for her first foray into Ultras! I think my time was roughly 5:50, 30 minutes slower than in 2013 but in 2013 it was my A-race that I prepared for all year (albeit not optimally, but whatever), and this year it was an after thought after our iron distance triathlon at Challenge Penticton. Dani finished in 5:59 and some seconds, amazing! I think our longest trail training run was 18km before this and most were closer to 13km. This year we're thinking of doing it again if we're around, possibly bringing Dani's family out for Thanksgiving and getting them to put a team in? We'll see! If you guys are reading this, get training! hah. Oh, and super coincidentally, this girl that Dani ran with at Sinister 7 a few months before Grizzly ended up running near me for a while at Grizzly and we got talking, later added each other on Facebook and have since become great friends. Dennene is an inspiration to us for sure, full of Ultra accomplishments, including qualifying for the World 24-hour championships by running 189km in 24h around a track in Arizona and then managing 193km at Worlds in Italy! She also ran in the World Championships for the 100km road race (omg, road) in Dubai! Great person to know, always full of inspirational things on Facebook, and we'd later see each other again at the 2015 Calgary Marathon and run together for a while at Sinister 7 2015 too. More on that later!
Early December was registration for the aforementioned Sinister 7, a 100-mile race in Crowsnest pass that some people do solo (like Dennene), but you can do in a team up to 7 people. This wouldn't come around for another 7 months, but suddenly we were 2 hours before registration and we hadn't really talked about what we were going to do for it. In 2014 we both ran a leg (Dani ran leg 3, me 6) on separate teams and had a blast, but we kind of wanted to step it up this year. Last second we decided to split it 50-50ish and Dani would do legs 1-4 and I'd do 5-7. About 85km and 76km respectively, with me getting the night legs and Dani the daytime ones. Dani's sister Carmen signed up with another team and volunteered for leg 6, the hardest leg and another night time one.
Christmas saw Dani and I going to Maui with my family where we did a bit of running, a bit of snorkeling, saw some turtles, and the best/ worst part, cycling up Haleakala, on rented bikes from Paia. It was an amazing accomplishment, cycling from sea level to 10000 feet but we were really really underprepared for how cold it would be up there and how long it would take us. Mostly there was a massive delay renting the bikes for some reason I can't recall anymore, but we started much too late, got to the top and as soon as we stopped pedaling, it was freezing cold and ridiculously windy… I had been excited about the downhill all day, but as I turned around and started the descent I just started shivering and couldn't stop. Dani made me get off the bike at the information station at 7000 feet elevation, which was sadly closed, and do pushups and jumping jacks trying to warm up. Maybe it helped a bit but a bit is not very much! Luckily at some point my parents decided to try and find us (maybe we'd texted them?) and we found them at about 4000 feet above sea level, a sight for sore eyes, as there was probably 30-45 minutes of descent left and it was nearly dark and I was still freezing! Dani was cold too, but I think I won the race to near hypothermia.. Oh, and the best part is our plane home was canceled and it was Christmas time so there were no hotels and we slept on a picnic table outside of the airport… "slept".. lol
Sometime in around the new year we signed up for the lottery for Escape From Alcatraz triathlon down in San Francisco.. tons of people try to get in every year and tons get turned away, but it was only $25 to try, so we did, and shockingly we both got in! This kind of threw a kink in the whole run run run year I semi planned for 2015, but it was too good an opportunity to turn down, both having gotten in! Coming up in June details below!
January we left Canada yet again for warmer pastures in Bali, Indonesia.. We'd gotten some amazing deal to Singapore off the YYC deals blog ($800 return w/ Delta?) and so instead of spending 12 days there we thought we'd spend 2 days there and find somewhere else to spend 10 and that was Bali! Before we left I got Dani Scuba diving lessons for Christmas and she did her certification dives in Bali (on a sweet sub-island called Nusa Lembongan, what a place! So peaceful and beautiful!) along with a few more dives off the main island! We got to do some cool dives there for sure, including the USS Liberty wreck in Tulamben, up on the north part of the island. Amazingly we called the dive shop the day before while staying in Ubud and they arranged pickup the next morning and drove us two hours there and back as part of some flat rate 3-dive package that was still cheaper than most of the diving I've done in the world. Other big highlights were:
– The monkey forest in Ubud, a super must see! The temples around the forest are amazing themselves, but there's a few hundred curious (and sometimes violent if you tease them with food) monkeys.
– Following Google Maps to Bali's most important temple (Gunung Kawi) and finding ourselves in a complete deadend in a small town with definitely no sign of temple to be seen. A group of people asked us where we were headed and we made it apparent we were looking for this temple. An awesome young local guy said to follow him, he'd take us to the temple no problem. Someone in his family caught up to us a few hundred meters down this path with sarongs for the temple so we didn't have to rent them there. Had to cover the knees, you see! 🙂 Anyways, he takes us on this amazing, beautiful walk through rice paddies, local rice farmers, creeks, hills, and eventually down into the valley where the temple actually was. We climbed in some back stairs, definitely not where your average tourist enters and commenced walking around the temple area with this guy after he'd ran off briefly to buy us tickets at the real gate (we paid him). He showed us every inch of the temple, but his English was pretty lacking, so it was mostly just pointing and a word or two here and there, but such a cool way to find this place! On the way back to our scooter transportation he took a different route and stopped by this super private waterfall which seemed like a great place for a proposal! .. not mine, but someone's, I'm sure! 😉 We got back to our scooter (oh yeah, we'd rented a scooter in Ubud for 5 days at a rate of something like $5/day? Ridiculously cheap, anyways.
– When we left Ubud we took a 38km taxi ride that took 2 hours to Kuta. TWO. HOURS. Ugh! Anyways, we finally depart the taxi, annoyed and frustrated and get a call from the hotel in Ubud.. We'd left our passports and my GoPro in a safe in the room. Nooooo! So, what could you do but go back? And I was pretty much forced to rent a real motorcycle and drive Grand-Theft-Auto-style back to Ubud in what seemed like blazing and dangerous speeds but still took 1.5 hours to go that 38k. Fun, anyways. Dani relaxed on the beach, but that motorcycle ride was really really fun for me. Much better than taxiing back and forth once more!
– On a hunch I made over Christmas I started pre-medicating with Zantac (heart burn medicine) for the pain that I'd been getting for the last 8-9 years whenever I ate chicken. It worked!! I could eat chicken pain free finally for the first time in forever, and it was amazing. I was a bit worried it was Bali chicken alone, but it's worked since returning too… Chicken's back in the foray! I also tried all kinds of new Bali and Indonesian dishes while there, those who know me or read this blog while I was in Africa will recognize this as an amazing feat for me, Mr Picky Eater extraordinaire usually!
– One of Dani's favourite parts was in Ubud as well, this yoga studio she found there called Yoga Barn. She went almost every day and was challenged and inspired by the practice there. I never made it myself but I saw some photos of the complex and it was definitely way high on the amazing scale! I probably should've gone, but I was really into the relax!
As for our two days in Singapore, it was pretty cool as far as cities go, but really expensive for anything outside of food. The highlight there was Marina Bay Sands, a $8 Billion casino/ hotel/ mall complex they built on reclaimed land in the harbour area. I found a roulette-like asian game in the Casino there and promptly lost a bunch of money. I probably should've watched a bit more before diving in, alas! We also went to the Night Safari here, definitely the coolest thing we did in Singapore! Go do that!
This whole 12 day vacation was complete time off training, I don't think we did a single run and definitely didn't do any cycling or swimming for sport!
We also wanted another attempt at qualifying for Boston w/ a spring Marathon. We looked around and decided on Toronto but my good friend Jenna was running Mississauga the same weekend (why two cities 25 minutes apart have marathons on the same day, I do not know), so she convinced us to change our minds.
I had a pretty shitty time training last winter… It was great weather to keep running all year round, but my legs just weren't in it a lot of the time. I'd go from having an amazing 21k run in 1:42 to running 3k in 20 minutes and quitting and walking/ limping home because my calves were hurting so badly. Between a bit of physio therapy, massage, rolling at home, and perhaps a bit of a gait change, I eventually emerged from this unscatched but with only about a month left until the marathon.
I felt I did pretty good considering… I decided to go out at a Boston Qualifying pace (3:05 overall time – maybe 4:21/km, something like that..) and see how long I could hold it. I got to 25km w/ 4:16/4:17 pace before getting some cramping going on and slowing way off. I basically did my 2nd fastest half marathon followed by my 2nd slowest half marathon and finished in 3:19! Dani did another BQ run, getting just under 3:35 but because of the competitiveness to get into Boston these days, she didn't have much hope of getting in and isn't signing up this year. We made a good list of marathon/race lessons from that one that luckily we wrote down because I'd never remember them otherwise. A huge thing for both of us was to race more. It'd been a long time since I'd ran a pure run race (or any at all) and I remember my heart rate was up around 150bpm before the gun even went off! 🙁
2015 Mississauga Marathon on Strava
From there we had a month to prepare for Escape from Alcatraz, an iconic and epic triathlon in San Francisco that starts by 2000 people jumping off a barge which is anchored just off the shore of Alcatraz island! Originally I'd said I was going to bike and swim a bunch in that month, but I only biked once and I'm not even sure if I swam.. I don't think I did! It went ok, considering, but was far from my best performance. My bike actually felt pretty great, but I was dead for the run and my legs weren't used to brick at all. Dani had prepared better and was definitely doing better that day than I was! The run had an out and back at 8km (of 12km total running) and she was only about 500m behind me… Oh shit! lol. I did my best to pick up the pace but it wasn't until the top of the sand ladder (a sand staircase of a couple hundred meters of elevation that is a big landmark of the course) that I finally got my running legs back and laid down some mid 4-minute kms to finish just a minute ahead of Danielle! Nice work, babe! In any event, that race was super cool, and the course was amazing. Brought me to a side of San Francisco I'd never seen before (the oceanside of the peninsula and also Golden Gate Park (which is not super close to the bridge, actually)) and Dani'd never been to the city either, so she enjoyed exploring everything!
We took a couple days after to explore and drive up to Sonoma for some wine tasting and lunch in the town.. It was such a great trip, and we decided then to really try and push to find some jobs in California and make a new adventure in our lives. It all started with the Alcatraz Tri lottery! WOO.
The rest of the summer saw us doing a lot of trail running / power hiking in Kananaskis and running a few amazing trail races / ultras. I'll try and summarize the experiences in point form!
First up was Cactus Coulee Crawl in Lethbridge, approximately 35km of runnable(ish) hills in the coulees of Lethbridge..
– This was a pretty great small race (50ish people)
– I came in 3rd soloist (3rd male), about 18 seconds after 2nd place, who I hadn't realized was so close (curvy tree covered path finish), but we were almost an hour behind the overall winner, Ian MacNairn, a local pro.
– Dani came in 3rd female as well! Super exciting! And she even spent 10 minutes or so helping a girl who fell and broke her wrist right behind her! Yikes.
– We won mugs for our podium finishes!
– Dennene was there, the aforementioned friend I met last year at Grizzly and Dani had met last year running Sinister 7!
– Dani's friend from Physio school owns the running store in Lethbridge, Runner's Soul, and even better they had the new shoes Dani had been looking for (and ended up racing in all summer)!
2015 Cactus Coulee Crawl on Strava
Next big race was a 50K at the Canmore Nordic Centre – Transrockies! I wasn't super feeling well all weekend and that day was projected to be 36C, which resulted in me DNFing at 32km. Sad at the time for sure, but ultimately the best decision for me!
– Dani came in 2nd place female and basically tied her 50K record from Grizzly last year on what I'd consider a harder course w/ more elevation gain!
– An online running friend Adam Kahtava destroyed it and won in something like 4h, amazeballs, Adam! Constantly inspired by his runs on Strava.
– Dani loves the Nordic Centre! I like it, but.. she really loves racing and running there! Woo!
2015 Rundle's Revenge 50k (30k) on Strava
Next up was the race we'd been looking forward to all year! Sinister 7! Dani and I were "duoing" it, with her taking the first 4 legs in the daytime (85km) and me taking the last 3 legs at night (76km)… It went so so so well! We both had a blast supporting each other and running it as well, of course. Carmen, Danielle's sister, came out as well and ran a night time leg (leg 6), which I got to see her during! Was so great, from every perspective. Dani did her half in just under 13h on what was probably the hottest Sin7 day in years (and through 20km of downpour rain) and I did mine just under 10h on wet ground but didn't get rained on myself! Was so super exciting to finish the last 50m with Danielle at 6am or so with a couple friends and family members watching! Woo!
– We ran 100 miles between the two of us under 23 hours!!
– Hanging out with Carmen all day while we supported Danielle, getting to know Aaron, her boyfriend, a bit better that day, and having him see the running side of our lives.
– Learning how important nutrition is, especially in the ultra endgame… It doesn't matter if what you have left to run looks easy and you're feeling good – eat something!!
– Lots of friends out in Crowsnest pass!
– Seeing Dennene on Leg 6 who was not feeling well but went on to finish strong
– Meeting Joanna Ford on Leg 6 as well, who was also not feeling well and also had a great finish!

Now I needed a new goal, and we may have bitten off more than we can chew in finding that… Especially given what's happened since (more on that later!).. But we signed up for the Javelina Jundred 100 mile race in Phoenix on Halloween and got back running again… Then August hit.
The first week of August we went out to Dani's parents' farm for her dad's 60th Birthday and had a pretty amazing time, so so much fun! All the siblings (3 girls, 2 boys) game and their significant others (I was the only significant other when we were out there last – lots has changed!) so that was pretty awesome. We ran a couple times but perhaps not as much as we wanted.
The next week we went back to San Francisco because I had interviews with Strava on August 10! Strava!! I'd applied shortly after the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon after an argument with my boss here in Calgary and started the whole process. Two phone interviews later a flight and day of interviewing was scheduled and I had 6 interviews that day! Six! Then met with the CTO and flew home feeling pretty stoked! The next day: an offer was coming! Wooo! Everything since then has been getting ready to move, and training has kind of suffered as a result.
While in SF, we also wanted to do a long trail run, so we found a 50K to do the day before my interview in the Sierra Morenas south of the city. It was a pretty amazing experience! Another small race, but it was under canopy pretty much, only a few exposed fields… I had no idea SF offered anything like this. We were immediately excited for more! Dani came in 3rd female again I think and 1st in her age group? What a year for 50Ks for her! Then later that week sadly injured her ankle and she's been unable to run since.. now 5 weeks later. 🙁 Sooooo, who knows about that 100 miles! I'd still like to try for the 100K option, but time will tell. I don't have to decide quite yet, I guess.
2015 Crystal Springs 50k on Strava
Anyways, more on the move and the last month of our lives in the next post. Lots of information for those wanting to work in the USA, sell everything they own here, etc! This post is already almost 4200 words, so if you're reading this still, you're my hero. Thanks for the interest! See you sooner next time with both Dani and I blogging and much excitement happening in our lives! 😀

HOMESTEAD, Fla. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. left little doubt that hes ready for a promotion.
Stenhouse became the sixth driver to win consecutive championships in NASCARs Nationwide Series. He finished sixth Saturday in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, edging Elliott Sadler for the title.
A lot of people put a lot of effort into this and Im just the lucky guy who gets to drive it, said Stenhouse, who finished the season with six wins.
About the only drama in the race was whether Stenhouse would play it safe. He did, but not without a few close calls. His Roush Fenway Racing team even had to remind him several times over the final 10 laps to avoid potential pitfalls.
Stenhouse eventually obliged.
Were a group of racers and thats what racers do they race hard, Stenhouse said.
Regan Smith won the 300-mile race, giving team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. a victory.
These guys worked hard all year long, and were going to do the same next year and contend for a championship, Smith said. Thats our plan. Hopefully, tonight was part of a statement right there.
Kyle Busch was second, followed by Brendan Gaughan, Sam Hornish Jr. and Austin Dillon. Danica Patrick was 19th in her final Nationwide race before moving to the Sprint Cup Series full time.
After recording eight Nationwide victories last season, Busch went winless in the second-tier series in 2012. He had 18 wins across NASCARs top three series in 2011, but has just one this year.
Busch dominated the race early, but couldnt get past Smith in the closing laps.
Smith did some smoky burnouts, then headed to Victory Lane. But Stenhouse had dibs on the bigger celebration.
Stenhouse became the first since Martin Truex Jr. in 2005 to win back-to-back titles in the developmental series. Sam Ard (1983-84), Larry Pearson (1986-87), Randy LaJoie (1996-97) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (1998-98) also accomplished the feat.
For Stenhouse, it was the perfect ending to his Nationwide career. Stenhouse is moving to Sprint Cup next season, replacing Matt Kenseth for team owner Jack Roush.
Stenhouse started the finale fourth and had a 20-point lead over Elliott. He needed to finish 16th or better to clinch another trophy.
The lead would have been considerably tighter had Sadler not wrecked last week at Phoenix.
But Sadler triggered a three-car accident that brought the race to a halt and essentially ruined his championship hopes. It was reminiscent of last year, when Sadler also finished second to Stenhouse after some late-season setbacks.
Its way more disappointing this year because we had control of the points the whole entire season, Sadler said. We raced as hard as we could every weekend, but we came up short. Didnt take but a few races to put us behind. ... Second is not what we wanted, but we ran competitive all year long.

Xiamen GRAND SLAM | 22 - 27 October 2013
Lausanne, Switzerland, September 27, 2013 – The International Volleyball Federation is pleased to announce that the Xiamen Open has been upgraded to a double-gender Grand Slam event.
The Xiamen Open, initially a women's only Open event, has been modified in an effort to maintain the FIVB's goal for 2013 to provide greater opportunities for players and beach volleyball fans after the organisers of the Beijing Grand Slam were forced to withdraw the tournament from the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar due to financial difficulties.
With the tournament in Xiamen, the original number of 10 FIVB Beach Volleyball Grand Slams for this year will still be maintained providing yet another opportunity for players to compete in high-level international competition in China.
The competition dates for the Xiamen Grand Slam have been extended by one day with the men's competition taking place from October 22 to 26 and the women's from October 23 to 27. Overall the majority of the conditions of a Grand Slam will be implemented, including prize money of $120,000 and bonus pool of $100,000 per gender while the number of teams in the qualification tournament (normally 24 for a Grand Slam) will be maintained at 32 per gender as per an agreement with the promoter and the China Volleyball Association (CVA), although the size of the stadium will remain at 1,600 capacity due to the short time frame before the start of competition.
The Xiamen Grand Slam will be the third beach volleyball event organised in China this year, after the Fuzhou Open and the Shanghai Grand Slam. The Fuzhou Open, which launched this year's beach volleyball season, saw China's Chen Xue and Zhang Xi thrill the home crowd sweeping gold in the women's competition while USA's Sean Rosenthal and Philip Dalhausser won gold in the men's.
The Shanghai Grand Slam, which took place soon after saw Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson continue to fly the US flag taking gold in the men's competition, while Brazil's Talita Antunes da Rocha claimed the honours for Brazil in the women's competition with new partner Taiana de Souza Lima.
The next event on the FIVB beach Volleyball World Tour is the Sao Paulo Grand Slam, which will run from October 8 to 13.
The Xiamen Grand Slam will be followed by the Phuket Open, scheduled to take place in Thailand from October 29 to November 3. The Durban Open will round off a very busy year for beach volleyball when South Africa plays host to the last event of the year from December 11 to 15.
Xiamen, also known as Amoy, has a population of 3.5m and is situated city on the southeast (Taiwan Strait) coast of the People's Republic of China.

text: John Brennan, President Obama's nominee to lead the CIA, refuses even to label waterboarding as "torture" [AP]Try to remain calm - even as you begin to feel your chest tighten and your heart race. Try not to panic as water starts flowing into your nose and mouth, while you attempt to constrict your throat and slow your breathing and keep some air in your lungs and fight that growing feeling of suffocation. Try not to think about dying, because there's nothing you can do about it, because you're tied down, because someone is pouring that water over your face, forcing it into you, drowning you slowly and deliberately. You're helpless. You're in agony. In short, you're a victim of "water torture". Or the "water cure". Or the "water rag". Or the "water treatment". Or "tormenta de toca". Or any of the other nicknames given to the particular form of brutality that today goes by the relatively innocuous term "waterboarding". The practice only became widely known in the United States after it was disclosed that the CIA had been subjecting suspected terrorists to it in the wake of 9/11. More recently, cinematic depictions of waterboarding in the award-winning film Zero Dark Thirty and questions about it at the Senate confirmation hearing for incoming CIA chief John Brennan have sparked debate. Water torture, however, has a surprisingly long history, dating back to at least the 14th century. It has been a US military staple since the beginning of the 20th century, when it was employed by Americans fighting an independence movement in the Philippines. American troops would continue to use the brutal tactic in the decades to come - and during the country's repeated wars in Asia, they would be victims of it, too. Water torture in Vietnam For more than a decade, I've investigated atrocities committed during the Vietnam War. In that time, I've come to know people who employed water torture and people who were brutalised by it. Americans and their South Vietnamese allies regularly used it on enemy prisoners and civilian detainees in an effort to gain intelligence or simply punish them. A picture of the practice even landed on the front page of the Washington Post on January 21, 1968, but mostly it went on in secret. Listening PostFeature: The Zero Dark Thirty controversy Long-hidden military documents help to fill in the picture. "I held the suspect down, placed a cloth over his face, and then poured water over the cloth, thus forcing water into his mouth," Staff Sergeant David Carmon explained in testimony to Army criminal investigators in December 1970. According to their synopsis, he admitted to using both electrical torture and water torture in interrogating a detainee who died not long after. According to summaries of eyewitness statements by members of Carmon's unit, the prisoner, identified as Nguyen Cong, had been "beat and kicked", lost consciousness and suffered convulsions. A doctor who examined Nguyen, however, claimed there was nothing wrong with him. Carmon and another member of his military intelligence team then "slapped the Vietnamese and poured water on his face from a five-gallon can," according to a summary of his testimony. An official report from May 1971 states that Nguyen Cong passed out "and was carried to the confinement cage where he was later found dead". Years later, Carmon told me by email that the abuse of prisoners in Vietnam was extensive and encouraged by superiors. "Nothing was sanctioned," he wrote, "but nothing was off-limits short of seriously injuring a prisoner." It turns out that Vietnamese prisoners weren't the only ones subjected to water torture in Vietnam. US military personnel serving there were victims, too. Documents I came across in the US National Archives offer a glimpse of a horrifying history that few Americans know anything about. "I had a 'water job' done on me," one former American prisoner told a military investigator, according to a 1969 Army report. "I was handcuffed and taken to the shower… They held my head under the shower for about two minutes and when I'd pull back to breath, they beat me on the chest and stomach. This lasted for about 10 minutes, during which I was knocked to the floor twice. When I begged for them to stop, they did." Another said that his cellmate had rolled their cigarette butts together to fashion a full cigarette. When the guards discovered the "contraband", they grabbed him and hauled him to the showers. "Three of the guards held me and the other one held my face under the shower," he testified. "This lasted quite a while and I thought I was going to drown." Afterward, he said, the same thing was done to his cellmate who, upon returning, admitted that "he confessed" as a result of the torture. Still another captive testified that handcuffed prisoners were taken to the showers. "The guards would hold the prisoner's head back and make him swallow water," he explained. "This treatment would cause the prisoner to resist which would give the guards an excuse to punch the prisoner." He also testified that it was no isolated incident. "I have witnessed such treatments about nine times." 'Cruel or unusual' This wasn't, in fact, the first time Americans had been subjected to water torture while at war in Asia. During World War II, members of the Japanese military used water torture on American prisoners. "I was given what they call the water cure," Lieutenant Chase Nielsen testified after the war. When asked about the experience, he answered: "I felt more or less like I was drowning, just gasping between life and death." The same tortures were also meted out to American pilots captured during the Korean War. One described his treatment this way: "They would bend my head back, put a towel over my face, and pour water over the towel. I could not breathe... When I would pass out, they would shake me and begin again." For their crimes against prisoners, including water torture, some Japanese officers were convicted and sentenced to lengthy prison terms, while others were executed. The legal response to torturers in Vietnam was very different. While investigating allegations against Staff Sergeant Carmon, for instance, Army agents discovered within his unit a pattern of "cruelty and maltreatment" of prisoners that went on from March 1968 to October 1969. According to an official report, Army agents determined that the evidence warranted formal charges against 22 interrogators, many of them implicated in the use of water torture, electrical torture, beatings and other forms of mistreatment. But neither Carmon nor any of the others was ever charged, court martialed, or punished in any way, according to the records. There was similar impunity for - in one of the more bizarre uses of water torture - Americans who tortured Americans in Vietnam. Although a 1969 Army Inspector General's report into "alleged brutality and maltreatment" noted that "the water treatment was administered as a form of punishment and constitutes a form of maltreatment of prisoners", those who water-tortured American personnel were never tried, let alone sentenced to long prison terms or executed for their crimes. In fact, those implicated - Army guards working at the American detention facility informally known as Long Binh Jail - apparently escaped any punishment whatsoever. "The 1969 Inspector General's report on American torture of American prisoners unequivocally defined the 'water treatment' meted out to jailed American military personnel as 'cruel or unusual'." This record of impunity has continued in more recent years. While the CIA has acknowledged its use of waterboarding after 9/11 and President Obama has unambiguously stated that the practice is a method of torture, his administration declared that no one would be prosecuted for utilising it or any other "enhanced interrogation technique". As a CIA spokesperson pointed out to ProPublica last year, after reviewing the Agency's treatment of more than 100 detainees, the Department of Justice "declined prosecution in every case". The 1969 Inspector General's report on American torture of American prisoners unequivocally defined the "water treatment" meted out to jailed American military personnel as "cruel or unusual". Bush administration lawyers in the post-9/11 years, however, attempted to redefine the drowning of defenseless prisoners as something less than torture, basically turning the clock back to the ethical standards of the Spanish Inquisition. At least that 1969 report noted that water torture "was administered without authority" to those American prisoners. The current situation has been radically different. In recent years, it wasn't merely low-level brutalisers and their immediate superiors who sanctioned and approved torture techniques, but senior White House officials, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Vice-President Dick Cheney. From George W Bush's own memoir, we know that the previous president gave an enthusiastic order ("Damn right!") to subject other human beings to water torture, just as we know that President Obama has made certain no one in the government involved in ordering or facilitating such acts would ever answer for any of them. In 1901, an American officer was sentenced to 10 years at hard labour for waterboarding a Filipino prisoner. By the late 1940s, the centuries-old practice was so reviled that significant prison time or even death lay in store for those using it. In the late 1960s, it was still viewed as a cruel and unusual punishment, even if US troops who tortured Vietnamese and American captives weren't subject to prosecution for it. In the 21st century, as water torture moved from Southeast Asian prison showers to the White House, it also morphed into an "enhanced interrogation technique". Today, the president's pick to head the CIA refuses even to label waterboarding as "torture". What does it say about a society when its morals and ethics on the treatment of captives go into reverse? What are we to make of leaders who authorise, promote, or shield such brutal practices or about citizens who stand by and allow them to happen? What does it mean when torture, already the definition of "cruel", becomes usual? [Note: I'm not the first to write about the American use of water torture on US prisoners in Vietnam. See Cecil B Currey's 1999 volume, Long Binh Jail: An Oral History of Vietnam's Notorious US Military Prison.

Over half of all Scottish women could be putting themselves at risk by not regularly checking their breasts for the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
A YouGov survey of over 500 women living in Scotland found that for 54 per cent of women who don't check regularly, the main reason was they simply forgot.
While alarmingly, nine per cent of women admitted they have never checked their breasts.
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month commences, Breast Cancer Now warns more work must be done to encourage Scottish women to be breast aware, as 16 per cent of Scottish women (who don't regularly check their breasts), said they don't know what signs and symptoms to look for.
In response to this, the charity wants all women in Scotland to Touch, Look and Check themselves to help identify any changes to their body that could be a sign or symptom of breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Now has also created a helpful guide that informs women about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer to be on the lookout for, with a video available to give more information.
Mary Allison, Director for Scotland, Breast Cancer Now said: "Over 4600 women in Scotland will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 1000 women will lose their lives to the disease.
"We know that early diagnosis can save lives, so it's incredibly important that women know what to look out for and that they regularly check their breasts.
"The results of this survey are incredibly worrying as they tell us that many Scottish women are not checking their breasts. Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes and visiting their GP so it's vital that Scottish women regularly check themselves and take action if they spot anything that is unusual for their body."
Margaret Kilmartin was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2012 after finding a lump. Fortunately her treatment was successful. She said: " Checking your breasts is simple and so important. I want to urge other women to be breast aware and visit the doctor if they spot anything that worries them."

The Renewable Energy Tax Credit has been reinstated for 2013 and is retroactive for 2012!
A federal tax credit on 75 percent efficient biomass heating appliances, which expired on December 31, 2011, was reinstated by the "fiscal cliff" legislation, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (H.R. 8), signed by President Obama on January 2, 2013. The bill includes a "tax extender" for Internal Revenue Service Section 25C which provides a tax credit for, among many other things, qualifying biomass burning stoves. The extender provides a 10 percent tax credit of up to $300 on a qualifying biomass heating appliance purchased between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2013. The credit claimable on the purchase or installation of qualifying biomass units is limited to a "lifetime limit" of $500 (and may be impacted by the purchase or installation of other products that qualify of a 25C credit).
The IRS has provided guidance for the tax credit. Be sure to read the entire guidance, IRS Notice 2009-53, Non-Business Energy Property, which can be found at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-09-53.pdf - or at hpba.org

Hey strangers, just wanted to share this rare, early demo of "Crucified" from when the band was still recording on RCA, prior to a label shake-up that would lead them to releasing Ink on Impact/MCA in 1991. I bought this tape on eBay last week, and about half of the songs have either different mixes, different vocals, clean guitar instead of overdriven guitar, different drum tracks and drum mixes, etc.
The demos overall are more synth-heavy, Rupert really shines on a lot of these songs. "Shut It Out" sounds more like it belongs on Calm Animals (the drum mix is heavier). The YouTube clip has a pic of the tape with the original track listing. Notice the inclusion of All About You (quite possibly their best outtake), and missing songs that they had probably yet to record - "How Much Is Enough", "Falling In Love", and "One Jungle".
The quality of the tape is actually very good, I just need a better deck to rip all of songs. This version of Crucified sounds more like '80s Fixx, and more like the band's production, then some producer's work. I personally like it better than teh Ink version. The band should revisit this version and think about road testing it. I think the fans would really like it.
Anyway, here is the demo of Crucified. More to come from this tape! Enjoy.

Obey the Giant: Life in the Image World
August, 2001 - 224 pagina's
Design critic Rick Poynor explores the thinking behind contemporary visual culture - intriguing and fascinating appraisal. In the twenty-first century, commerce and culture are ever more closely entwined. This new collection of essays by design critic Rick Poynor takes a searching look at visual culture to discover the reality beneath the ultra-seductive surfaces. Poynor explores the thinking behind the emerging resistance to commercial rhetoric among designers, and offers critical insights into the changing dialogue between advertising and design. Other essays address the topics of visual journalism; brands as religion; the new solipsism; graphic memes; the pleasures of imperfect design; and the poverty of "cool". Around the world, many are now waking up to the dominance of huge corporations - invariably expressed by visual means. This pointed and provocative counterblast arrives at a moment when critical responses are vital if this mono-culture is to be challenged. It offers inspirational evidence of alternative ways of engaging with design, and it will appeal to any reader with a questioning interest in design, advertising, cultural studies, media studies, and the visual arts.

Ultraviolet (UV) light can cause serious flash burns to the cornea from a source of radiation like the sun or lights.
Symptoms may not start for 6 to 12 hours after exposure to the ultraviolet light. Symptoms include:
Ultraviolet injuries to the eyelids usually don't involve the eyeball because the blink reflex protects the eyeball. If the eyes are tightly closed, the edges of the eyelids may also be protected.
