Sustainable Pathway Lighting
Encourage Active Communities with Sustainable, Cost-Effective Light
With communities everywhere looking to encourage active transportation like walking and biking, First Light provides the simplest and best way to light pathways to make them safer and more accessible to users. From short neighborhood connectors to rails to trails projects, our technology is a proven, cost-effective and sustainable solution for pathway lighting.
Less Site Disruption
Solar lights allow you to avoid the site disruption of trenching for electrical wires along your pathway. This eliminates the $25 per foot trench digging cost, the cost of site remediation and lessens the time needed for installation.
Easier Install
Our lights are designed to be easy to install – often in 15 minutes or less. Not having to install wires eliminates the need and cost for trenching, remediation and site electrical design. Our self-contained solar fixtures eliminate the need for designing and constructing complex distributed solar lighting solutions for your location.
Enhanced Security
Effective and economical pathway lighting can go along way towards increasing it's use and making users feel more safe. In fact, a recent study found that better outdoor lighting could cut crime by as much as 39%.
Appealing Daytime Appearance
All of First Light's solar products are designed to look just like regular lights which eliminates the large solar panels and battery boxes separate from the fixture in distributed solar lights. First Light products are all self-contained which minimizes visual clutter.
Minimal Ongoing Costs
Avoid ongoing electrical costs and enjoy minimal ongoing maintenance with lights that are built with marine-grade low copper aluminum. High performance lithium ion batteries have a 8 – 10 year life expectancy regardless of climate.
Sustainable Light
Our solar lights generate all of the power they need, eliminating the need to rely on electricity from the grid. We also source our materials as locally as possible to reduce our manufacturing footprint.
These Pathways are Lit!

Definition of a REAL Astrologer

astrologers for over 40 years has provided me with a true character study of who these individuals might be.
But let us be sure of one fact of life. There are charlatans and unscrupulous people in every profession. Having said that let's define a true astrologer.
Without question each has done the equivalent of a four-year college degree, at least. You don't read a few books to be an astrologer. Knowing sun sign astrology makes up about 5% of an interpretation. All real Astrologers have completed some education in psychology. Most professional astrology books have a psychological interpretation and inclination to them.
Genuine astrologers are spiritual and with a strong philosophy. And most importantly, they have an authentic compassion about life. Real astrologers never predict anything for certain. And all real astrologers have a very strong intuition, with a solid sense of organization regarding life. If you don't sense or experience these traits in one you've turned to, find another astrologer, for every trait mentioned is an absolute.
When we cease to live the symbolic life, we cease to partake in the life of the gods.
--Carl Jung
What Can a Real Astrologer Give You?
Gods, used in the plural sense, define human mythology found with the ancient Greeks, Romans and all human civilizations as far back as history is recorded. In mythology gods represent the facets or face of the one God or deity. As such, each god symbolizes the struggle or perfection in each individual. Living a symbolic life means to study and apply the essence of each god to perfect ourselves. These symbols are the archetypes, or the compass settings, that lead us to become all we can be. Same as studying nature's characteristics.
Astrology is a personal messenger. Astrology readings are an intuitive, interpreted communication of the deity symbols of humanity and the collective human consciousness, which may very well provide clarity to personal, complex issues and circumstances in life. It doesn't need to be believed, nor classified as a mystery or magic. It just needs to work for an individual seeking clarity. It has done just that, for millions of people over thousands of years.
As previously explained, real astrologers are intelligent, much studied, good communicators and very intuitive. All are spiritually inclined with a strong moral compass. A professional astrologer is a person in business to facilitate people, to help them understand their lives and answer personal questions for themselves by using astrology as a catalyst. (More often than not, most people have their own answers hidden in their sub-conscious.) Astrologers are in business. Most astrologers want referrals, just as in any business that does a good job, so you can depend on a professional approach.
I must mention that on occasion, being the same for any two people, an astrologer and client don't connect. A professional astrologer who may be very good for many clients, may not be the right match for another. It could be just as simple as, the reading could be correct but the way it is delivered is not conducive for you to hear. Most professional astrologers will have a pre-reading discussion with you to ascertain whether they can help you or provide you with the information you seek. And they may just as well decide they cannot do so. The answer is to find another astrologer with whom you do seem well matched.
For over 40 years Marvin has had experience with astrology; he has professionally read it since in 1992. All readings are indepth, profound and deeply impacting. No question is trivial and no question doesn't have answers. Explore them with Marvin and you'll be glad you did.
is an organized real and symbolic system of measurement of the universe's bodies that defines the assertion of those bodies -- a force of natural energy that interacts with all matter --whereby a language is used to describe the affect and effect of that assertion onto all nature. As the universe evolves in a predictable path, a forecast of natural phenomenon occurs. Through observation and correlation, an understanding of the phenomenal influence defines a subjective perspective of the impact on nature and human activity.

2 Months
Happy 2 months of life sweet girl! This month you have gone on a fishing trip, discovered the wonders of a security blanket and you have grown into your digestive system {sort of}. You went from crying {a lot} to cooing and smiling. You love to watch the ceiling fan and kick at anything within your reach. You continue to teach us selflessness, unconditional love and remind us to slow down. We love you little!

Manufactured since 1993 by Japanese car manufacturer Nissan, the Quest is a minivan which is currently in its fourth generation.
During the first two generations of the Quest, the model was built in a joint venture with Ford, which marketed a rebadged variant as the Mercury Villager. Both minivans debuted at the 1992 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Back in 1993 the Nissan Quest was a new model made by Nissan to compete in the minivan segment. As the successor of the Axxess, which was sold in the United States in 1990 only and in Canada from 1990-1995, the Quest also replaced the rear-wheel drive Vanette, also discontinued in 1990.
During World War II, Nissan's factories were dedicated to the production of engines, trucks and aircraft for the Japanese army, which was a major factor to become one of Japan's most powerful companies.
Nissan merged with another Japanese automobile producer, Prince Motor Company, in 1966 and eventually the Prince tradename was permanently dropped. Nevertheless, such unification brought Nissan car range to... more

If an Ann Arbor police officer believes a driver is operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, he/she will request for the driver to take a series of field sobriety tests. Depending on the results of the field sobriety tests, the officer will arrest the driver and take him/her down to the police station or a hospital to administer a breath or blood test.
The result of this test will determine whether or not the driver will be charged with driving under the influence. You may be wondering which test you should take? Read on to learn whether you should take a breath or blood test.
Blood Test Overview
The most accurate available test of alcohol or drugs in a person is the blood test. The test results are highly accurate for accessing a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) and/or the presence of drugs. An experienced DUI defense attorney will know how to evaluate and challenge blood test results. For example, if the blood sample was not properly drawn or preserved and sat out for a prolonged period of time prior to being analyzed, this could result in a false reading. In addition, you should also consider how much time has passed since you last consumed any alcohol. Your BAC will sometimes continue to decrease 15 minutes to an hour after you stop drinking. It may be in your best interest to wait to take a blood test to allow yourself more time for your BAC to decrease. However, sometimes alcohol levels rise dramatically long after the last time you consumed alcohol. Therefore, the blood test could result in a much higher BAC than what might have been the case at the time the officer stopped your car. The law presumes that the BAC at the time of the blood test is the same as the BAC at the time you last drove your car.
Breath Test Overview
The breath test performed at the police station is more accurate than the preliminary breath test administered during the DUI stop. The preliminary breath test provides the police officer with probable cause for a DUI arrest. However, the devices used for preliminary breath tests are not always as accurate as the Datamaster machine used at the police station to measure BAC levels. It may take some time for an officer to get you to the police station. Your BAC may rise or fall during the time it takes to get to the station. But, again, the law presumes that the BAC result from the Datamaster is the same BAC as the last time you drove your car.
Breath vs. Blood Test
Under certain circumstances, a blood test may be more open to challenge than a breath test. With a breath test, it is usually hard for an attorney to dispute the accuracy of the test and the machine if the machine was properly maintained and the test was properly administered. Refusing to take either test may harm your case. A refusal could also result in six points on your driving record and a one year suspension. In addition, the arresting officer can obtain a court order to take a sample of your blood if there is probable cause to arrest you for a DUI.
Ultimately, it is your decision whether to take a breath or blood test - or to completely refuse to take any test. Whatever you decide, be prepared for the consequences.
The best way to avoid a DUI is to not drink and drive. If you are pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence, you have the right to provide the police with as little information as possible. Just remember to be polite to the police at all times. Contact my law office to discuss your DUI case in confidence and to retain my services. Call 734-274-6567 to speak with me directly.

NGames reveals Closed Beta date for Demon Crusade
Today NGames, a leading publisher of online games, was thrilled to announce the Closed Beta date for Demon Crusade, the new free-to-play action MMORPG, will be launching on July 29 at 21:00 CDT.
For those unaware, Demon Crusade is a brand new MMORPG that will soon be arriving on the Game321.com gaming portal. In the game you will journey through Devil Land and attempt to protect the Demon Temple from destruction. Will you be able to stop the evil humans?
The game features three unique classes, Warrior, Gunner, and Mage, and is packed with choice. Every class has unique attributes as well as a selection of gear that you can customize to suit your own unique tastes. You can also choose whether to team up with friends for missions, recruit an array of NPC partners (there are over 40 unique partners to recruit when the game launches), or even try to go the games solo.
Casual players will be happy to hear that the gameplay is designed to appeal to them, and the more hardcore gamers will likely be interested in the daily competitions that will run every day during the Closed Beta. These include a 24-Hour Ladder Fight, Arcade Masters modes, Guild Tourneys, and even Solo PK fights.
Those who take part in the Closed Beta will be able to take part in two exclusive reward programs. The first is earned by helping test out the game's cash shop. If you do so, you will be able to pick up special gift packs, which can include items worth 2,000 or more ingots (the game's currency).
If you happen to be a VIP2 player who is below level 40, you will be able to take advantage of the second program, called the Growth Fund. This rewards adventurers with valuable extra crystals for every five levels.
What are your thoughts on the new MMORPG?

After an Overnight leave, five eights from Pangbourne College Boat Club made their way to London to compete in the School's Head of the River Race. Using British Rowing Headquarters as our base, it was a team effort to unload and rig the boats ready to go.
Racing in the new Filippi 8+, which had been kindly donated by the members of the Princess Elizabeth winning crew of 1963, the boys 1st VIII came 4th in their category, only 2 seconds behind 3rd place and 19th overall. Going off #65th, the boys 2nd VIII had a good row to come 14th in their category, with their overall placing putting them above a few 1st VIII crews! The boys 3rd VIII came 9th in their category, 179th overall. The J15 boys VIII made their tideway debut, competing in their longest ever race to come 18th in their category. The girls 1st VII started near the back of the pack in the CHG8+ event and had an exciting row with several overtakes to come 9th in their category. With some American crews entered, the girls were the 7th British crew and matched the boys 3rd VIII to come 179th overall.
A big well done to all of the rowers representing the college in a professional manner amongst other schools and junior clubs.

Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, on Thursday pledged to give priority to the welfare of corps members.
Kazaure also said the management of NYSC was working tirelessly with relevant agencies to ensure that the Federal Government enhances the allowances of corps members.
"We are not unmindful of the cost of goods and services in the country when placed side by side with the present allowance of the members.
"We are not relenting as the scheme has made representations to the government through relevant agencies," a statement issued in Ibadan by the Oyo State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Ifeoma Anidobi, quoted him as saying during a visit to the NYSC orientation camp at Iseyin.
Kazaure urged corps members to continue to live up to their responsibilities by embracing diligent service to the nation and making good use of the scheme' skill acquisition programme.
"My dear children, in as much as you look forward to seeing improved welfare package from the government, the onus lies on you to serve the nation responsibly.
"Eschew all forms of negative tendencies which are capable of truncating your dreams of becoming highly successful and respected leaders of tomorrow.
"The NYSC created a platform for you to become entrepreneurs, industrialists and future captains of industries with the introduction of skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development programme.
"The programme can make you self sufficient during service and employers of labour after the service year,'' he said.
Kazaure also warned the corps members to desist from embarking on reckless journeys.
"NYSC will not hesitate to deal with recalcitrant members in line with the act establishing the scheme; as parents we want you to stay alive to take care of us in our old age," he said.

The blue skies on Pass-a-Grille beach presented a vibrant and intimate atmosphere for Emily and Jesse's nuptials. It was evident that Carly and Toby played a special role in both the big day and in the hearts of their parents.
Emily didn't feel complete getting ready without her babies being present throughout. So we spent time with her, and when it was time to get some excitement out, we took a walk around the pet-friendly Hotel Zamora. There was plenty to explore as we took a stroll around and the guests couldn't help but gush when they spotted the adorable fur brother and sister.
When the "first look" time was upon us, we made our way up to the 360 rooftop bar and found a shady spot to wait while mom and dad had a special moment together. Carly and Toby had big smiles when they were able to join in for family pictures.
As the ceremony commenced, the sun was brilliant as both Jesse and Emily each walked Toby and Carly down the isle.
Family and friends said their "hellos" to the pair, and followed with a "goodbye" as we brought the pups back to get settled in for the evening. Carly and Toby had no trouble falling asleep that evening after playing such a big role, and were so proud to be such a bright light for Emily and Jesse's big day.

Owls soar to safety
Deon Burton sparked wild celebrations at a sold-out Hillsborough as Sheffield Wednesday ended a wretched season by securing Coca-Cola Championship survival with a 4-1 win over Norwich.
Burton ghosted in to head home Tommy Spurr's fine cross to give the Owls a two-goal advantage with 15 minutes remaining.
The Wednesday striker had held his nerve in front an increasingly desperate home crowd to convert a 21st-minute penalty after Darren Huckerby had slammed home from 15 yards to give the Canaries a flying start.
The Owls, who needed a win to guarantee they stayed up, looked nervous in the opening exchanges and Matty Pattison and Dion Dublin were inches away from adding to the visitors' lead.
But Wednesday looked much more assured after the break and after Ben Sahar had eased fraying home nerves with a close-range second, Burton's second rendered results elsewhere on a nerve-jangling final day irrelevant.
Substitute Leon Clarke added a fourth for the home side in the 87th minute, bustling in on Bartosz Slusarski's pass and somehow keeping both his balance and the ball to poke home a fourth.
A crowd of 36,208 was not quite the biggest in the Football League this season - 38,256 had witnessed Leeds' win over Gillingham on Saturday - but it was a fitting end for the Owls and popular manager Brian Laws, whose side has been decimated by injury throughout the campaign.
They also witnessed Canaries star Dion Dublin back in Norwich's side for his final appearance. Dublin was given a standing ovation to mark the end of his colourful 22-year career when he was replaced by Jamie Cureton with 25 minutes left.

The Blues Profile Page
Virtually born to sing,
Sheba the Mississippi Queen
, aka Martha Booker, inherits a proud legacy of female blues belters, adding her own resonant chapter to the story with her wonderful, uptown-style album, "Butter On My Roll." Built solidly on a foundation of the blues and Southern R&B, and utilizing a stellar band that includes a truly galvanizing horn section, Sheba the Mississippi Queen refuses to be constrained on this 13-song collection, sprinkling pure jazz ("Can't Help Lovin My Man"), Southern Soul ("Tell Me Why"), and Funk ("Hay Girlfriend"), and even some classic balladry ("Don't Say Goodbye"), into the potent mix. But let there be no doubt that Sheba the Mississippi Queen is first and foremost a master blues singer, and on mid-tempo numbers, like the Bessie Smith-infused title track, "Butter on My Rolls," or on foot-stompers like "Dance Jump Shout" and "Oh So Good," the singer proves herself more than worthy to join the ranks of successor to the recently departed Queen of Blues,
Koko Taylor
. Sheba the Mississippi Queen's "Butter On My Roll" will stand as a first-rate addition to listeners' collection of outstanding Blues albums. ~Rice B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

Humans need not apply.
We've known for the better part of a year that kitties really appreciate the touch-screen functionality of Apple's iPad, so it's wonder that it's taken someone so long to make a game that caters explicitly to our feline friends.
But that's exactly what the iPad Game for Cats is. It's a free app you can download for your iPad that will display one of cats' two favorite things: a laser pointer dot or a cartoon mouse. The cat can play with it. That's the entire game, right there.
I think the best part of the promotional video you see here to the right isn't the cats that are so obviously enjoying their new high-tech toy, but the dog who isn't having any of it. He's too hardcore for this casual cat crap.

Horton Plains National Park
National Park Sri Lanka
Horton plains are a world famous national park and a wild life sanctuary that is included in the UNESCO world heritage sites. Originally it was named Maha Eliya Thenna and later it was renamed after Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, the British governor of Ceylon from 1831 to 1837. It is situated 32 kilometers away from Nuwara Eliya town. Nuwara Eliya can be reached through Kandy if you start from Colombo.
Beautiful mountains, valleys of montane grasslands and bushes of Horton Plains are in a plateau located some 2100m above from the sea level. This is a very well known destination for trekking and mountain trails among nature lovers and the magnificent highlands and The World's End gives the true meaning to sightseeing.
The area spans over more than10000 hectares and is home to 57 species of flora in which 27 is endemic to Sri Lanka. Also there are 24 mammal species and more than 80 bird species including many migratory birds over the year. Some of the species live there are endemic to this special nature reserve. Renowned richness of biodiversity of Horton Plains draws thousands of nature lovers and bird watchers throughout the year. Also there are several special sites in Horton Plains that attracts visitors' year around. Those include World's End which is a 3700 feet sheer drop which provide views of tea plantations a mile beneath the visitors and if fog permits even as far as the southern coast line. Also there is another place called Small World's End nearby.
Bakers Falls and Chimmini Pool are some other places people pay a visit along the 11 km long journey on foot which lasts approximately 3 hours. Clouds run brushing the trekkers in this high land and visitors hardly feel tired with cool weather among the mountain trails. Many visitors prefer morning visits to have a clear view at the spectacular sights on Horton Plains. In the evening clouds come lower and landscapes get covered with mist and views are obscured. Not only trekking addicts, even older travelers find plenty of pleasure in this wonderful creation of nature.

The leisure of designing automobiles may really grow to be a reality for a quick idea sketch to CAD, says Jeff Teague, an automotive designer and the son of the famend industrial designer Richard A. Teague, who has been round car designs his whole life. This article takes a closer look at how automotive design has modified over the years. We are able to only give so much (we're human, and there are limits to our time and our mental health), but technology is a big barrier for our low-earnings college students. If we care about minimizing class limitations, part of that battle is offering them with practical expertise that may allow them to do that. We do not have to like technology, but we've to try and educate our college students methods to navigate it. Now we have to have the ability to point them to welcoming locations and people who will perceive the structural boundaries our college students need to face, even if we ourselves aren't capable of offering assist. If we've got reached the restrict of our technological know-how, the answer isn't to throw up our hands and quit…it's to reach out to the people who do love these things and get them to affix in the dialog.
Also widespread were hydrogen powertrains, luxury cars for the Far East and automobiles that will attraction to more design acutely aware buyers.

The beautiful YuLong River 遇龙河, YangShuo to Guilin
The YuLong River, YùLóng Hé, starts in YangShuo County near Litang and flows for over 35 kilometers (22 miles) to the Li River near the town of Ping Le; GuangXi province.
The YuLong River is relatively shallow at around 5 meters (16 feet) maximum depth and is an average of 25 meters (82 feet) across.
Unlike the deeper Li River, it has no motorized boat traffic and bamboo rafts, paddle boats and swimming are popular. The bamboo raft journey begins at the YuLong Bridge, which is 400 years old. Hiking and biking are also popular as there are many quaint villages along the river, some offering bed and breakfast accommodation.
The YuLong River Valley is very fertile, and its low-lying terrain is excellent for rice fields. In recent years, farmers have also planted more cash crops such as pomelos, tangerines and mandarin oranges.[video v=bos1MYHf5qY]

3.5 Stars!
A man on his knees who knows he did you wrong and is simply asking for a second chance. Could you say no and send him away?
The cocky vampire who taunts an archangel's consort and gets off on a little BDSM is blindsided when he meets Guild Hunter Honor. Something about her tugs at his heart the way only one woman has ever been able to before. Dimitri has been painted not quite as a villain, but someone who would be willing to take out a beloved character if he believed it necessary. He is a character so well written you want to hate him a little. Until you discover his past and what he went through, then your heart breaks for him.
Honor has been through her own hell. She broke but has enough spine to pick up the pieces and stick them back together. Once she meets Dimitri strange things start happening though, dreams that feel like memories and whispered words.
Singh gives us more than just a love story in Archangel's Blade. There is something more lying underneath the pull between Dimitri and Honor, something that will have you racing to the end to find out if your guess is right. Even though Raphael and Elena are not the predominant characters in this fourth book it is still a great addition to the Guild Hunter series. And amazing story that will have you feeling like you should cry.

#11: Higgs Boson Blues
When Nick spoke of the Bad Seeds' 15th album 'Push The Sky Away' prior to its release, he described it as an album of ballads. However, it wasn't, he claimed, another 'Boatman's Call'. How right he was. 'Push The Sky Away' turned out to be one of the best records of his entire career. I'd even put it in my top 3. These songs were certainly not ballads in the conventional sense, but they were far from the loud feedback-swathed racket that graced 'Dig!!! Lazarus, Dig!!!' and the Grinderman records. Two songs in particular stand out as among his best ever work. One of them will feature later in this series, but the other - today's pick - is simply astonishing. This version of Higgs Boson Blues is longer than the album version and sounds live, although I think that may just be Nick's vocal. To this day, his lyrics about Miley Cyrus crease me up, particularly:
"Hannah Montana does the African Savannah
As the simulated rainy season begins
She curses the queue at the Zulus (zoo loos???)
And moves on to Amazonia
And cries with the dolphins."

Absolutely terrific.ReplyDelete
Absolutely fantastic. And I agree that 'Push The Sky Away' is one of his best moments in his career.ReplyDelete
It's an astonishing album on so many fronts.ReplyDelete
I was nervous that the loss of Mick Harvey would be a backwards step for the band. This, as you say, is among his best ever albums.

Sorry, this recap is late this week, but it IS the last week of August and a late-summer, mid-week getaway was in order. So I said, "Screw it" and went to the cottage for a few days. Besides, I already knew what was going to happen...at least the bigger picture.
|Brian & Cynthia demonstrate their sense of personal space.
Brent & Sean 12:41 A.M.
Gino & Jesse 12:49
Dujean & Leilani 3:06
Brian & Cynthia 3:10
Nick & Matt 3:30
Simi & Ope 4:43
More foreshadowing. Gino and Jesse ask their Pakistani-Canadian cabbie if he knows whether or not Indian cabbies speak English. Geesh. These two are like a frigging rollercoaster in the smarts department. Then we hear Brian getting himself all worked up about the crowds they will encounter in India. There may even have been some eye-rolling. This is going to be about as bad as any TAR leg EVER to have visited India. Come to think of it, as far as foreshadowing goes, this was pretty lame.
|Brian and Cynthia trying to look happy.
Then the most amazing thing happened....Dujean CAN speak. Praise be. Maybe it was the upgrade or maybe it was the prospect of going to India, the land of mysticism, but something suddenly inspired him. Or maybe with the dwindling cast, TPTB had to threaten him to talk. It's just that up until this episode, Leilani seems to have been doing most of the talking for these two.
According to Jon, teams must make their way to the Mallick Ghat flower market where they will receive a blessing and their next clue. Gino gets freaked out by the traffic and the lack of lanes. "They just make up their own lanes." He goes to put on his seat belt and there are none. A woman blesses them by putting a bindi on their forehead. Okay, I may know next to nothing of Hinduism and Indian culture, but I do know a bindi is meant to be the gift of knowledge and wisdom...the third eye. Which is good, because I think these Canucks are going to need some help here. The first task is called "Stop and smell the flowers." Teams must thread together flower garlands, recreating the exact sequence of marigolds, carnations, sunflowers and roses from an example. It's pretty simple, especially since all the flowers needed are provided...it's not like they have to run around from stall to stall collecting different flowers.
Brent and Sean are done first and given the next clue, directing them to make their way to the Armenian Ferry Ghat to take them across the Hooghly River. Meanwhile, Brian and Cynthia's
Spidey, I mean police senses are giving them a hard time. They aren't just merely uncomfortable among all the people. They are now suspicious of people walking up behind them, brushing past them or loitering around. Real paranoia type stuff. I guess they've never been to the C.N.E. midway on a Friday night. Or the Boxing Day sale at the Eaton Centre. Nick and Matt say this is no problem for them. They are used to big crowds with their wrestling performances...even having stuff thrown at them. Ope tells us this market is like the ones in Nigeria, so it's almost like a homecoming for him. Dujean compares this task to Leilani. It's rugged but beautiful. Gee guys, that's so romantic. Are you sure you can't give this dating thing another try? Just wondering, because just as in their dating, they fail at their first attempt.
|So many Lakshmis. So little time.
|Jon and the Swami.
Gino and Jesse must have received a defective bindi in the blessing at the start of the leg because that wisdom just hasn't kicked in. They can't find a cabbie who knows where the Swami House is. Well, to be exact, they can't find a cabbie who knows English well enough to understand Gino and Jesse butchering the name Swami Vivekananda. But Simi and Ope's bindis and cabbies are fine, and they find themselves in the lead for the first time. There is much excitement, even if it's only momentarily. Ope tells us he sees his own connection with the Swami - the two of them having traveled to Vancouver from a far off land.
From here it's off to the Detour called, "Tuck OR Roll". This Detour is a nice juxtaposition between the hectic Kolkata streets and the peaceful serenity of yoga. This duality prompts Jon to describe the tasks with the pun, "Teams will have to decide if they want to nama-stay....or nama-go." How about nama-don't?
In "Tuck", teams must duplicate 6 couple yoga poses, in order. Funny, I thought couple-yoga was something completely different. Ah. You know. Ah. That Kama Sutra thing. Not that I would know. Moving on. In "Roll", teams must use a rickshaw to make two deliveries - one at a time, of plastic bottles and fabric bundles. Okay, I kind of understand the bundles of fabric, but plastic bottles? Empty plastic bottles? Is this a thing in India? Should I now be suspicious of bottled water in India? Shhh...don't tell Brian and Cynthia.
Nick & Matt, Gino & Jesse, Simi & Ope and then Brian and Cynthia decide to do the rickshaw deliveries while Dujean & Leilani and Brent & Sean try their hand at yoga. Despite Simi's concerns over the traffic, Ope insists on doing the rickshaw task. Perhaps he didn't want to do that partner yoga with his daughter. Good choice. But at one point when a narrow side street is totally blocked by a truck, Simi shows us her fierce girl, yelling at them to move. Nick and Matt have few problems - Nick even positions himself next to the rickshaw while Matt pulls it, acting as a bumper from the traffic. "They'll hit me before they hit you." Gino and Jesse follow the wrestlers for the first delivery, but once they take the lead they somehow get lost - proving they shouldn't be left unattended in India. They start bickering. Ah, India. You always bring out the best. And that's not even taking into account Brian and Cynthia, who by now have totally lost it. Brian says yoga's big in Canada. He will probably take it up when he gets home since he needs something to relax. So they do the rickshaw deliveries among the overflowing streets. I guess they really wanted to learn to cross unyielding traffic while pulling a rickshaw. Go figure. Then again, I am not too sure that couples yoga is really their thing. It would have been almost as fun as seeing Nick and Matt do it. Oh well.
|No sweat-hugs for you. And please, no more puntags (!!!) like #NamasteStrongBrent
Dujean and Leilani win the leg, along with a trip to London, England and a year of free gas. They are completely dumbfounded they beat the Wrestlers on this one - they thought Nick and Matt's taxi took the quicker way. Jon has to tell them several times and Dujean tells him "Don't lie to us, Jon!" Oh, Dujean...Jon DOESN'T lie!
Nick and Matt are 2nd. Their cab was actually ahead of Dujean and Leilani, but it looks as though the cabbie cost them the leg by taking a bad turn. Are these guys ever going to catch a break?
Brent and Sean 3rd, narrowly beating out Simi and Ope in a footrace.
Simi and Ope 4th. They had to have known they weren't racing it out for last place or else I am sure they would have tried a little bit harder.
Gino and Jesse 5th. The guys prove (at least to them) foreign legs are the great equalizer to their strength. They were almost done in by navigating the streets and trying to get a taxi to the Pitstop.
Brian and Cynthia are last and are eliminated.
I think Brian and Cynthia need a nice quiet trip to their backyard after this. Take up yoga, Brian! Maybe do some couples yoga (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). If there is any good news here for the couple, it has to lay in the knowledge the elimination got them out of going to the next destination, Delhi. Then again, it would have been fun to watch.
|Jon at the mat outside the National Library. I'm guessing grass-cutting is not a priority there.

School Choice Week Poses Yet Another Dilemma for Democrats
Valeris Strauss, the Washington Post's education writer posted an article today that included a cross-post from Georgia blogger Bertis Brown that opened with these three paragraphs:
This is School Choice Week, the annual exercise when well-funded, corporate school reform outfits pour money into advertising and marketing to promote charter schools as well as vouchers and other programs in which the public pays for private and religious school tuition.
School Choice Week coincides with the confirmation drama of President Trump's nomination of Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos as education secretary, who has said the public education system in the United States is a "dead end," and who is seen by critics as a supporter of privatizing public education. DeVos stumbled at her Senate confirmation hearing last week, displaying a lack of understanding of key education issues, and Democrats have sought — unsuccessfully — a second hearing before the Senate Education Committee votes on whether to approve her nomination.
After years of supporting traditional Republican corporate education reform ideas, many Democrats seem to now realize how bad her policies to "voucherize" American education would be for teaching and learning as well as the principle of educational equity. The opposition to DeVos has brought people together across education reform philosophies, a dynamic similar to recent ballot measures in Georgia and Massachusetts, when people of different political beliefs chose local control of public schools rather than increasing the influence of the political and private sector.
Like many public school advocates, I have been disappointed in the Democratic Party's decision to support "…traditional Republican corporate education reform ideas" and I have not been surprised to see how this embrace of corporate reform has ended with policies that will ""voucherize" American education" and, in so doing, undercut any advances made in the past decades to bring about educational equity. As noted in previous posts, I fear that no matter how the DeVos hearings come out, the Republicans will prevail in their effort to get a corporate minded pro-voucher pro-privatization "reformer" in place and if they fail with DeVos because of her inexperience they will ultimately find someone with more burnished credentials will do their bidding. When that happens, we will have nearly two decades of public eduction where "quality" was defined by test scores, two decades where districts who educate children from affluent and highly educated children have a distinctly different and superior educational opportunity than those children who are raised in poverty. And the parents in those affluent school districts will wonder why there is so much concern over test scores and why so many parents in "other school districts" are upset about the narrow curriculum their children have.
I am choosing to take heart in the recent results of statewide referenda in Massachusetts and Georgia where voters turned down propositions that would expand the number of charter schools. Why? Because voters in those states came to understand what the idea behind these propositions REALLY was and what the effects of the vote would REALLY be. And when the public understands that more charters REALLY means more opportunities for profit and no more opportunities for learning, they will "…(choose) local control of public schools rather than increasing the influence of the political and private sector."
The President, Republican politicians in DC, and the 35 capitols where Republicans are in the Statehouse are participating in "…the annual exercise when well-funded, corporate school reform outfits pour money into advertising and marketing to promote charter schools as well as vouchers and other programs in which the public pays for private and religious school tuition." It would be wonderful if there was a public school education week when students, parents, and teachers could flood the streets the way women did last weekend. Maybe a display of solidarity will get the message to our elected politicians: we want to choose locally controlled well funded public schools over those run by for-profit entrepreneurs on Wall Street.

It's a GREAT Kids Snack Box & everything in it is gluten free, fun to eat, & most importantly - delicious. You might notice a couple of the bags are already opened (& empty) because I dove right in...here are/were some of my faves:
I loved this box because I knew I could grab anything from it & feel good about it eating it. I often eat breakfast on the go & this box had lots of all natural protein bars & bites. I stashed lots of these snacks at my desk at work too.
I got to try new-to-me brands & products - the single-serving sizes are great as it makes it less expensive than buying a full-sized box of something I might not like. I also loved the value of the box. I could not believe how many snacks were included - it's a generous amount (30 snacks!) with lots of variety (my first photo doesn't do the box as much justice as it should).
This is a subscription box service & retails for $49.95/month so pick that kiddo you really like :-) but, there are a variety of options starting at $29.99/month. Again, I think this would make a great gift for a busy parent with a child that needs to avoid gluten - super convenient & fun & something to look forward to every month. Even if gluten isn't an issue, this box makes for an easy way to snack a little healthier.
I was able to purchase this snack box with a generous discount; all opinions are 100% my own.

Dear Readers,
The prices of consumer items are going up enormously. And the malayalee is simply sitting at home complaining about this price hike. They hesitate to act or work. This inflation is brought out by malayalee only. Their political sense to fight against traders and punish those who inflate the price is gone forever. So now the trader is the king. They hike the price of the commodity according to their whims and fancies. They purchase goods at lower price form the farmer and the producer of primary goods never gets their due share in this price hike. So the agriculture always becomes a business of loss. Because of this many won't venture into this business where by the production will be controlled and the price hike is possible. This situation is cleverly brought out by the traders only. And the people are reluctant to protest against these traders and force the government to act against the traders. The government can easily bring price control through its village officers and other staff employed in its nook and corner. The trader who violates the law of government has to be penalised for his illegal trading and prices. But the people and government are in slumber. The people can easily loot the trader and force the government to look into this matter with immediate effect. But the people won't do that. They will simply sleep at home and die at their home thinking that it is their fate. So I have following suggestion to all our friends to act.
1. Force the government to enact a law where by the government get the power to control the price of essential commodities and make it mandatory to publish those prices in the main news papers and other mass media communication like radio. TV etc...
2. The government can determine the price of commodities in accordance with its cost of production, transportation and 10% profit for the producer and trader. The middle men in between the producer and trader can be avoided or they can share the 10% profit of trader.
3. Create a social committee consist of the representative of consumers, farmers, traders, transportation, bureaucracy, representative of the people and judiciary to determine the prices of the essential commodities. This committee can get the advices from experts and people from other walks of life.
4. Ensure that the price determined by the government is only charged by the trader in their outlet through its village and panchayath offices. If the trader is charging more amount than determined by the government, penalise them with three to five times more the amount they have charged from the consumer.
5. Give free registration to all the traders and cancel their registration if they found violating the law and those persons involved in the violation will never be allowed to do the trading in their life. The government can take over those shops and hand over to co-operative societies formed by the local people, who are willing to conduct the trade.
Apart from the inaction of the government in involving price control, the laziness of women to work in their home garden has contributed a lot to this inflation. Now the women folk simply sit at their home and watch TV after their morning activities. They never involve in the production of vegetable, eggs and goat farming for the milk. The production of vegetable can be easily implemented in any home with sack cultivation technique of growing vegetable. But he social structure and culture is that women enjoy more freedom and protection of law and society in order to live a comfortable life at the cost of opposite sex in their home.
Another aspect is that Kerala people want to make money without production and only by service. So they engage in real estate business, share market, illegal banking and contracting the construction etc...This also caused the inflation. SO THINK.

Inputs and institutions as conservative elements
- 135 Downloads
- Citations
Ludwig von Mises argued that capital goods were "conservative elements" that constrain future production decisions. Similarly, social capital and institutions also constrain future production decisions. These insights are applied to the institutional transformation of the post-Reconstruction American South. It is argued that the structure of social capital that developed in the South was inappropriate to the formal institutions that emerged as a result of the Civil War and Reconstruction. The tensions between institutions and social capital are examined in the context of racist lynching.

Story of Abroadship'er Justinas:
I came with the last minute call, with low confidence in the arts field and was pleasantly surprised about the human borders and the methods available to extract these borders from non-artistic participants, such as me. I always felt desire to pursue some artistic form and always had passion for many forms of arts (theater, painting, drawing, movies, photos), but never really felt confidence or time to enter the field seriously. And here it comes the opportunity that is just impossible to miss. And it happens in Armenia, a country I have never visited but always wanted to visit! The expectations were high, but the result was even higher – it was a magic self discovery time, full of inspirations and, what is very important, four new follow-up projects to develop in the future with the participants i met there. Thank you for this opportunity.
"The training was so amazing and inspiring that it lead to a birth of 4 follow-up projects afterwards" Justinas
Project title: training course "IMPROVISION – Inclusion through Art"
Place: Armenia
Time: August 2016
Organizers: International Center for Intercultural Research, Learning and Dialogue and Dialogos
Description: One of the ongoing challenges in youth work is the integration of disadvantaged groups in the society or in regard of the European youth work sphere, their involvement in international projects. There is a constant need for new and innovative methods, which would ease this process and also give them an inspiring environment to develop their potential.
Artistic forms of expressions are very promising in this field for several reasons. Regarding the aspect of personal development, artistic methods are very powerful as they give an opportunity for self- discovery. In the process of creation we always express more than we are consciously aware at the moment. Especially the spontaneous creations in an improvisation setting are very useful in this sense and the outcomes can be used as a mirror to reflect on your 'inner world'. Especially youth who are not very strong in verbal expression can gain a lot through the expression in creative ways.
Apart from the benefit regarding personal development, it also becomes an important topic for the work with mixed-background groups in a local context and is already used, e.g. while working with groups of refugees and locals in integration projects.
Despite their usefulness and potential as described above, artistic methods are not very wide spread and far away of being in the standard tool box of youth workers. Especially in the EECA region this field is still underdeveloped and it would be therefore highly beneficial to educate multipliers in this field. The training gathered 29 youth workers and youth leaders from program and EECA partner countries to explore the potential of artistic forms of expression in (international) youth work setting with disadvantaged groups.
The training was organized and trained by Oliver, Laura and Hasmik. The training was sponsored by Erasmus+ programme of the European Commision.

School nurses in Leicestershire have launched what is believed to be the first NHS website specifically aimed at helping children learn how to stay healthy.
The Health for Kids site, which includes games, quizzes and videos, was developed with the help of more than 60 primary schoolchildren.
"Our health specialists have written the content in a way they hope the children will find interesting"
Margaret Clarke
The interactive content was devised by a range of healthcare professionals from Leicestershire NHS Partnership Trust – including specialists in school nursing, paediatrics, mental health, health improvement, smoking cessation and dietetics.
"Health for Kids is a fun educational website from the school nursing service," said Margaret Clarke, the trust's lead school nurse, who hoped schools would start using the site from September.
"Our health specialists have written the content in a way they hope the children will find interesting. The children involved have found it to be a fantastic learning opportunity for them as we've watched all our ideas come to life," she added.
The site is divided into different "worlds" and features friendly characters, such as Maggie the School Nurse who provides health tips.
Games include one that gives children the chance to become a heroic school "knight nurse" and treat the ailments of a range of mythical patients.
The site, which has been part-funded by Leicestershire County Council, will also host a secure school health questionnaire for parents of reception year children.
Data from this will help school nurses shape the health and advice services they provide to children and families.

ANNAPOLIS - Two Washington County lawmakers are vying to chair the Western Maryland delegation during the upcoming legislative session.
Republican Delegates Robert A. McKee and LeRoy E. Myers Jr. both want the job being vacated by Del. George C. Edwards, R-Garrett/Allegany.
On Tuesday, Edwards said he would step down as Western Maryland delegation chairman when the legislative session starts in January to allow another Republican to hold a leadership position.
Edwards was elected minority leader of the House Republican Caucus in July.
The majority-Republican Western Maryland delegation, made up of lawmakers from the state's five westernmost counties, meets weekly to take positions on regional issues. The chairperson sets the agenda.

For Stronger Ethics and Integrity in Inspection Oversight
The findings of the latest (2016) Business Survey conducted by USAID Business Enabling Project (BEP) indicate the need for continuing implementation of mechanisms to prevent corruption in inspection bodies. To respond to this need, after a series of meetings with the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACAS) and internal control officers of several inspection bodies, USAID BEP has developed an Analysis of Corruption Prevention, Ethics and Integrity Strengthening Mechanisms in Inspections. The Analysis builds on findings of corruption surveys and discusses relevant international experiences and the existing regulatory framework and practice, and provides recommendations for introducing and improving anti-corruption mechanisms. In the next step, USAID BEP will develop draft anti-corruption, ethics and integrity regulations for inspections, based on recommendations outlined in the Analysis, and deliver these documents to the Inspection Oversight Coordination Commission for endorsement. USAID BEP also intends to deliver another round of anti-corruption, ethics and integrity training for inspectors in September, in cooperation with the ACAS and the Inspection Oversight Coordination Commission Support Unit.

There are hundreds of webhosting companies across the web. In fact, it is even more difficult to choose or to pin point the best web hosting company that for you and your business. This is to give you an idea on how to choose your webhosting company. Here are some factors that you may want to consider in choosing the best web hosting company.
1. Price factor. Most web marketers especially the newbie's prefer to go for the cheaper prices. We have lots of them in the net. In fact, there is no webhosting company that claims they have an expensive price. Some companies offer $6-$10 per month for their hosting services not including the domain registration. While others offer more than $10 per month which includes the domain registration. The truth is, most of these webhosting companies offer the same range of price. In my own opinion, choosing your webhosting company base on the price should not be your best reason whether to host or not your website in that company.
2. Service factor. This is the first factor that should come with the price. As I said, the price doesn't matter for they offer almost of the same price. So if you are a newbie, bear this in mind, look and review first their services. Try looking for answers to these questions; "Is their customer service open 24 hours 7 days a week? Do they give a guarantee that any calls for customer service will be answered? Do they offer an online technical support? Are they customer friendly? Are they fast to respond from any questions and inquiries you ask?"
You can know the answers to these questions by contacting them and make some inquiries. If they have an excellent customer service, then probably they are reliable and dependable. This factor is very important because this will give you a peace of mind that your upcoming website will work well in the near future. In addition, it will give you a confidence that you are with the right people to assist you.
3. Feature factor. I would say this is the most important factor that you must know. It is the factor that will identify whether your webhosting company is really cheap or is a little expensive. Some companies may offer a real cheap price but does not contain too much feature like auto responder, free blogging feature, email address listings, auto submitter, etc. If the webhosting company offers a good deal of features matched with its cheap price plus an excellent customer support, then it is the best people to stick with.
Knowing these factors, then you can now effectively decide whether or not to accept the webhosting company. Always, be sure that the price matches with the services and features they offer.

Apps and games on the Apple TV previously had a size limit of 200MB and now Apple has increased the limit to 4GB, which is around twenty times the previous limit.
The new larger size limit could convince more developers developers to create apps and games for the Apple TV as they are now not restricted with the previous 200MB limit.
The size limit of a tvOS app bundle has increased from 200 MB to 4 GB, so you can include more media in your submission and provide a complete, rich user experience upon installation. Also, tvOS apps can use On-Demand Resources to host up to 20 GB of additional content on the App Store.
There are rumors that one of the reasons that Apple has increased the limit to 4GB is to support 4K apps, this would suggest that Apple is getting ready to launch a 4K compatible Apple TV, of course this is just a rumor at the moment.
