Some people like to take things aside to see how they work. But just because you may take a gadget aside does not imply you may put it again together again. Even a profitable rebuild would not assure the device will still work. It is best to leave some deconstruction projects to the professionals. When the system in query is a computer, this warning is especially vital. Nevertheless, it's an fascinating concept for making some use of your pictures and movies. So, in other words, phishing sometimes makes use of a bait in the type of a phony e mail, hyperlink or attachment to redirect a consumer to a fraudulent web site, whereas pharming can routinely redirect a consumer to a fraudulent website, though the consumer has typed in the correct URL in the tackle bar.

Indisputably the Razer DeathAdder Chroma is the most well-liked mouse available on the market proper now. I've surveyed hundreds of players and the results are overwhelming.

It performs double obligation in this realm, functioning as an eight-channel audio mixer with plenty of enter options for a lot of devices or mics, and offering a superb, clear signal with out extra noise or distortion, making it a recording artist's finest friend.

We don't support the council's budget but we will vote for it, says Brighton and Hove Tory leader
Conservative councillor Tony Janio said that he did not support Labour's budget but his party would vote for it after concessions were made.
Here is what the opposition leader on Brighton and Hove City Council said at the budget meeting at Hove Town Hall this evening …
Glance at the news for the briefest of moments and you can't fail to notice that the political world is in a state of turmoil.
A few weeks ago we learnt that the founder of Momentum had been elected to the Labour party's ruling National Executive Committee and that two Labour council leaders had resigned following intimidation and vicious campaigns of abuse by Momentum activists.
Labour MPs who voted for a no confidence motion in Jeremy Corbyn are reported to be on a hit-list drawn up by Momentum – and when the Hove Labour MP was asked on the telly last week about Momentum's tightening grip on Labour he said, in a scene reminiscent of The Sopranos, that "I will never get distracted and called into a dark room having arguments".
So, it looks like he is being called into dark rooms by Momentum but that he's simply trying to do his best to ignore it.
Then, astonishingly, when pressed to answer why more so-called moderate leaning MPs like him seem a bit scared and aren't standing up publicly against Momentum, he failed to give a credible answer. I can only assume that this was because it is true.
Then, last week in The Times, an article on the bitter divisions within the Brighton Labour Party indicated that members on the left will seek to deselect centrist party councillors, leading to the first socialist majority in the history of Brighton and Hove City Council.
This is the shocking state of the Labour Party in Brighton and Hove today.
Perhaps this is why Councillor Morgan last week spoke to his loyal Twitter followers, indicating that the city would go bankrupt by 2025.
Under a chaotic Labour administration this would certainly seem a possibility.
Our city is clearly in the middle of a crisis, with a Labour Administration at war with itself.
The Conservatives know we simply can't carry on like this. We know that things must change.
Because of this chaos within the Labour Party, and the very real potential that the government could have been called in to sort out this mess of a budget before us tonight, local Conservatives entered into negotiations with the moderates still in control of the Brighton and Hove Labour Party and we agreed to vote for Labour's inflation-busting budget tonight.
In doing this, we have ensured that the delivery of services across the city will not be interrupted by a Labour Party that only cares about "socialism and scaremongering" rather than "efficiency and effectiveness".
But we will also be pushing for a full analysis, and a plan of action, to deal with endemic waste within the council.
Let's face it, any organisation the size of the council that still employs over 750 managers is not spending its money wisely. I have bleated on about this issue many times over the years and it is now time for some action.
But there is even more. Life can be divided into three phases: retirement, working age and childhood.
On average, those in retirement are now better off than they have ever been, mainly thanks to the Conservatives triple lock policy, and a majority of working age people can see that we are moving past the Labour recession and into a golden era of high employment, low unemployment and of wages rises increasing faster than inflation. Excellent news, Madam Mayor.
But finally, the wonderful news that most of our children are now studying in much improved schools, brought about by enlightened Conservative policies and the dedicated hard work of teachers, has meant that our children now have the best reading skills in a generation – a prerequisite to thrive in many areas of life. A great achievement for the Conservative government.
Sadly, a minority of children across our city, through no fault of their own, need some extra help to fulfil their full potential, and this is why the Conservatives fought for, and secured, an extra £460,000 to be spent in the budget to provide enhancements to youth services across the city.
We are proud of this achievement. But I must now turn to the future and, as I described earlier, with Momentum determined to tear apart the Labour Party, next year's budget may well see a different outcome to the one tonight.
My plea to the Labour Party over the coming year, therefore, is to not let the extremists within the Labour Party win – to not let their infighting spill over and affect the delivery of services to our residents,. But I fear that this is now inevitable.
The city does not deserve a Labour Party at war with itself. The city deserves a fresh start. The city deserves a Conservative administration.

more unsubstantiated myth-peddling lies from the conservatives, fearful of a wipeout at the local election. They lie at national level dragging up the age old method of 'communist spies' and are local level hating on a young, grassroots movement

Just moved to Brighton from a Sth Manchester suburb which has a Tory run Council.House and flat prices are about the same.Council tax similar.The difference is a culture shock.Scruffy grafitee everywhere.Street drunks,druggies,rough sleepers,Roads neglected,extortionate parking and so it goes on.Council tax increase of 6% for what?.To pay for what?.i had to move for work reasons and on the whole I am quite happy.Brighton has a vibe about the place.It has a Cosmopolitan mix which I really like.People are friendly,not as friendly as up north ,but ok.Pubs,bars and restaurants are good.Transport links to Gatwick and London are good.Bus services are good.Cycling is ok.However why have the Council not spent money on cleaning up the place?.Dread to think what impressions tourists have.Does the Council actively encourage drunks,druggies, grafitee ,rough sleepers.Clean up the place and you will have a wonderful city.I suppose that's the difference of having a labour run Council to having a Tory one.Does Labour have different priorities.?

Review: Mandrake Linux 10
I know that a lot of people have posted reviews on Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, etc. but here is mine. I downloaded the first 3 Mandrake CDs from LinuxISO and then burned them to a CD while in Windows to get to work. I had a Windows XP installation on my 100GB hard drive, but I only have it on 30GB because Windows acts up so much.

Davis (1896-1967) was President and founder of the American Documentation Institute (ADI), now known as ASIS&T. He devised methods for popularizing the study of science in general. He was editor of Science Service and Science News Letter. He was also Director of the Science Clubs of America, which he saw as an "educational force for the future" (Current Biography). The documentation division of Science Services was established in 1935 and was the nucleus of ADI, which was organized in 1937. Through ADI, Davis sought to solve the problems "surrounding publication, bibliography, library facilities, etc."
Glenn J. Seaborg, chairman of AEC, noted that "Watson Davis has done more for the popularization of science and the understanding of science by the general public than any other individual." According to Richards, Davis was "the pioneer microfilm enthusiast." Davis saw microfilm as "basis for a data and information revolution" (Burke). In 1934, Davis attempted to create an ILL program- the Bibliofilm Service at the NAL. He wanted to create a constantly updated world bibliography of science" (Burke).

I first heard of the idea of a 'lizard brain' from the former UFC fighter Dan Hardy on the London Real podcast. He was talking about it in the context of trying to become a more instinctive (and ruthless) fighter... But the idea extends far beyond combat sports... It's actually really useful when you're in the marketing game too.
This is the part of the brain that is in charge when we decide we want to purchase something... We nearly always buy emotionally and use logic and reason to justify this decision afterwards.
A good example of this is when we buy a new car - We 'want' it because it may go faster than our current car, or maybe it's more luxurious or will make us appear 'cooler' (increase our status).
Once we've decided we actually want it, we look at things like fuel efficiency, emissions and other 'dry data' like that to convince ourselves that we've made a good decision. Very few people buy cars because of raw data alone... It's almost always linked to an emotional desire.
You should try to lead your marketing message with an emotion. Start by describing a pain that your customer is familiar with which you can take away. Or maybe you could talk about the goals and dreams that you can help them achieve... Either way, make them FEEL something.
Then after you've got their attention, follow up with facts and data to support your message... This information IS useful, but only once you've captured someone's attention.
All too often I see brands leading with features and benefits when what the customer is interested in is how their life will be improved. The technical data may seem appealing to us as business owners, but when we present this at the wrong time, it's likely to lose the sale.

Supplemental Reading
The goal of the supplemental reading assignment is for students to read a biology based popular press book. In IB Biology 1, one supplemental reading book must be read per semester as a required assignment in the classroom category of the grade book. The assignment is worth 100 class work points (which usually turns out to be about 2% of the overall grade, but this can vary). Students may read one additional supplemental reading book per semester as "above and beyond" points. However, students may only submit one supplemental reading per quarter. So, if a student wanted to read two books (one required and one above and beyond), he/she would turn in one supplemental reading assignment in first quarter and another in second quarter. The first submission would count for the required assignment and the second submission would count as Above and Beyond points.
In IB Biology 2, the supplemental reading is not required. However, if you'd like, you may read up to one book per quarter for "above and beyond" points.

Child of the Civil Rights Movement
- $5.99
- $5.99
Publisher Description
In this Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, Paula Young Shelton, daughter of Civil Rights activist Andrew Young, brings a child's unique perspective to an important chapter in America's history. Paula grew up in the deep south, in a world where whites had and blacks did not. With an activist father and a community of leaders surrounding her, including Uncle Martin (Martin Luther King), Paula watched and listened to the struggles, eventually joining with her family—and thousands of others—in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery.
Poignant, moving, and hopeful, this is an intimate look at the birth of the Civil Rights Movement.
In her debut picture book, Shelton, a daughter of Andrew Young (activist, politician, and former U.N. ambassador), taps into her memories and those of her father, two older sisters, and others to offer a child's perspective of the family of the civil rights movement. She recalls her parents, native Southerners, moving their family from New York to Georgia to help combat erupting racial violence ( At first, I thought Jim Crow was a big black crow/ that squawked whenever a black person/ tried to get a good seat ). Shelton smoothly threads together personal anecdotes: being turned away from a restaurant; listening from under the table as her parents, Martin Luther King Jr., and other activists gather ( With everyone trying to talk at once,/ I thought they sounded just like/ instruments tuning up before a concert ); and participating as a four-year-old in the Selma-Montgomery march. Col n's (As Good as Anybody) soft-focus art features his customarily rich textural backdrop of speckles, scratches, and waves. Both contributors evoke the drama and emotion of the times (while avoiding the violence) and a triumphal sense of community and family. Ages 4 8.

Jesus said some fairly odd things about the nature of the people of God. He talked about loving enemies, praying for those who persecute you, turning the other cheek, and going the extra mile (to name just a few). Because Jesus was fulfilling the Covenant given to the Israelites it should come as no wonder that much of what seems radical and new in Jesus' teaching was really his perfect explanation and application of what was already supposed to be the odd nature of the people of God. Look at this short portion of the Covenant:
When you happen to come upon your enemy's ox or donkey that has wandered off, you should bring it back to them. When you see a donkey that belongs to someone who hates you and it's lying down under its load and you are inclined not to help set it free, you must help set it free.
Here is what Jesus probably had in mind when he said to love your enemies. The people of God are supposed to act differently than the rest of the world, including going out of their way to help those who hate us if it is within our power to help them. This is a hard saying. Even God knows that fact because he states right in the passage that when "you are inclined not to help," you must overcome that initial reaction and act in a manner that shows you are one of the people of God.
Humanly speaking, this would be almost impossible to do in every situation we encounter in life. Every time we see something go wrong for someone who hates us or someone who would like to do us harm, we are tempted to let our enemies get what they deserve. We may not actively work to harm them further, but we do not intend to help alleviate their problems.
Yet God does not deal with us as we deserve. Therefore if we are to demonstrate that we are children of God, we must not deal with others as they deserve, either. If God shows compassion and deals with us in mercy despite what we deserve, then we must do the same for those who, in our eyes, deserve less as well. Thanks be to God that having an attitude like this and being able to act like this is possible as we receive more and more of the grace of God in our lives and are transformed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus by the presence of the Holy Spirit in us. Humanly speaking this may be so difficult it is almost impossible, but when we are a part of the people of God we do not deal with situations from a purely human standpoint any longer. If we allow God to grow us and transform us from grace to grace and glory to glory, we will be able to live out these commandments.
Once we can live in this manner, the objection many people in the West hear about Christianity–that Christians are all hypocrites–will no longer be valid. Instead, people will be left wondering at the odd nature of the people of God–and they will be curious about it!

Egad. I just spent over an hour reading friends page and email. I really need to make it a point to get to this internet cafe more than once a week. It's $6 an hour here, so this session is gonna be damn expensive.
So I'll make this quick- especially since I'm supposed to be meeting someone for lunch today, and I'm really hungry.
I'm packing apples six days a week! And getting paid! I love money.
I have a place to live that is not a tent and it's a five minute bike ride from work!
I have friends!
My parents are coming in less than three weeks!
That's the important stuff. Hopefully sometime in the next few days I'll come back this way and do it all better.
Sorry I haven't done any commenting on things that deserve comments. You can blame laziness or hunger or a limited financial reserve.
Later, yo.

Time seems to have gone incredibly quickly since we left our depot on the final section of the expedition as we continued our trudge north. We had been informed by the skidoo riders we met at the hut as well as from Shari, one of our friends from Clyde River, who's husband Jake along with Sarah and Boomer who were making their way with their dog sled teams to Pond Inlet to expect some bad ice. Every time we came towards a spot or closer to a headland where it tends to accumulate we wondered if it was going to hit. We knew roughly where it might be but without knowing it's exact start point we kept wondering if we had passed it or if not how much would it slow us down. With both our finite number of supplies as well as having to start finalising departure plans from Pond inlet we were watching our daily mileage carefully.
Rounding a headland our route options split. The faint outline of the dog teams trail hugged the shoreline through the "rough" ice where as a skidoo trail from the hunters we had bumped into headed out into the frozen sea of Baffin Bay. Maybe this was the start. After a day of trudging through it it didn't seem that bad and if this was as bad as it got then we could cope with that. Camping up we felt pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the situation as well as our mileage for the day. Falling asleep thinking was this as bad as it would get? We both hoped so. Dreams of the perfect ice kept floating through our minds. Depending on your thinking spending your nights dreaming as well as physically walking across ice during the day could be bliss or a nightmare, it all depended on how smooth the journey was. The next day we rounded a point and our questions were answered. The ice resembled a mountain range shrunken down to the scale of car sized peaks. This picture went as far as the eye could see. Basically our worst nightmare. On top of this the wind was blowing into our faces. Meaning that despite the hot work we had to wear face masks and goggles that steamed up before ice froze on the inside during our breaks. With no sign of an obvious path there was nothing for it but to get stuck in.
For the remainder of the day we spent it happily dragging our sleds up, down and around this field of ice debris. With sleds rolling over, dogs getting tangled and skis crossed there was a lot of huffing, puffing and a number of choice words being used. It had only reached 3pm with a couple of sessions still to go and it felt like we had gone 8 rounds in a boxing match. Our backs ached, legs burned and our minds hurt from having to constantly look for the best route with only a multitude of bad options. With the wind picking up we found a beautiful iceberg to pitch our tent behind. It didn't cut all the wind out but certainly made a difference.
Standing on top of the iceberg it was difficult to see with the swirling snow but one thing for sure the next day would certainly involve more of the same. The views were spectacular though, being able to get a different perspective with the extra height allowed us to see above all the debris which stretched out all the way to the horizon. Collapsing into the tent we checked out the maps to try and hazard a guess at what was causing it and where it might end. Despite our up beat thinking we were still estimating it could continue for another 30km for all we knew. As I checked our position and distance covered for the day it had hit us hard but given the start of the day had been ok conditions it meant it was not as bad as it could be at a whopping 12km over 8 hours. About 6 to 8 km shorter than we had been averaging for the trip but it still beat the 4km we managed over the moraine earlier in our voyage, which took a day and a half.
We both agreed that the conditions were a recipe for a tough few days as we curled up in our sleeping bags munching down our dinner and strategically placing our hot Nalgene bottles on our aching muscles. The day had certainly quickly developed to type 3 fun! Waking the next morning ready to take on the world or as Jamie has started singing "welcome to paradise" as he rubs the sleep from his eyes and his old body creaks up from a morning doze. The tent door was opened to a scene of flat light. This was far from ideal! Within minutes of starting we had one sled tip over as the continuation of bumping along over the ice began for another day like we had never stopped. This is always a good sign of what the day has install. We soon found ourselves back on the trail of the dog sled team with the occasional pee mark from the dogs making it feel like something out of Hansel and Gretel. Then a skidoo track appeared this was great news as it showed there would have to be a half decent route out. The Inuits are not going to completely trash a skidoo simply to find a route through some bad ice when there might be the option to go round. However we soon lost both due to the flat light and a pause in pee marks, shame it wasn't bread crumbs or even better chocolate buttons. We continued on making our own fresh tracks through this unforgiving terrain. For a brief period of time we were even treated to a spot of sunshine which revealed that we were coming to the end of the bad ice or at least a larger section of ok ice. In the distance we could see the point we were aiming for however it was slowly being shrouded in a vail of fog. First snow began to fall but as we continued on the wind speed began to increase and for a second night in a row we headed instinctively towards an iceberg. We had been incredibly fortuitous to have this in what is otherwise an incredibly exposed channel. With our initial thoughts of getting our ice breakers back on, which we had taken off earlier in the day due to the balmy -20c temperatures, our thoughts soon turned to the fact we probably need to get the tent up with the wind speed rising. With a couple of attempts at finding a large enough spot for our tent tipi we finally settled on one. The downside of our tent for 2 people is that it is monstrous in width and more importantly height. Despite it's strong construction this represents a real challenge in rough ice and strong winds as you try to find somewhere flat enough to sleep as well as with enough of a wind break to naturally block it or with enough snow to create your own wall. Pitching it up we had all the guy lines out pinning it to the ground with the majestic grey and blue iceberg behind it. As much as I would like to stand on top of this one we would need ice axes and crampons to make it up.
Our daily mileage was again disappointing at just over 10km due to it being a couple of sessions short. But with no protection past this iceberg it was our best option. Day soon turned to night and conditions improved. That was until about 3am when we were awoken to roaring winds. By 4 we decided a snow wall was now required as well. Kitted up with not a millimetre of skin showing we went outside where we were almost blown off our feet. We stumbled about for about an hour getting a wall together along with tightening down the guy lines. None of this was helped by the fact that the wind had turned through 90 degrees. Although we still had a natural wind break there too it just wasn't quite big enough. By 5am we were back in the tent with breakfast being served far earlier than normal before heading back into the sleeping bags for a duvet day. Just without the same level of comfort or films on show.
Throughout the day we lay there eating, drinking hot chocolate and watching as the one central pole vibrated and bent in the wind as the high sides of the tent acted like small sails billowing in the breeze. It was unnerving not knowing how much the wind might increase or how much more the tent could take. We made the occasional trip outside to adjust guy lines, to redo bits that had loosened and build up the snow round it's base as the tent took a battering from the wind and snow. There was the occasional lull, which gave us some hope before kicking back in with greater ferocity. Falling asleep that night we hoped not to be woken in the early hours nor that it would be blowing still the next day. Waking to not a sound was incredible there was hardly a breathe on the tent, we could hear ourselves rather than shouting across to one another despite being only a meter apart. The next few days ticked by incredibly quickly as we made good progress, keen to get away from the area that had pinned us down for almost 2 days. With this calm came a period where we could admire Bylot Island which although felt incredibly close was actually still 20km away. It's picture perfect peaks, ridges, bowls and glaciers covered the horizon. It was an incredible sight and together with the region we were passing through looked incredible for a ski trip, downhill as apposed to the cross country we were currently doing.
Camping up for the final time we finished slightly earlier than usual. We could see the houses in Pond Inlet up on the hillside which felt strange being so close but yet not quite there. We had planned this so that the next day would be short but not too short plus it would give us a chance to take some more photos assuming we had good conditions. We relaxed eating left over chocolate, biltong and hot chocolates until a couple of celebratory cigars came out. Although it was slightly early the last few days had been windy and the chances of us being able to smoke them as we skied along through face mask and goggles was not likely! It was amazing to think that 70 days previously we had left Qik and about 100 days since we had left the shores of the UK. We were almost at the end of the journey......

What We Do
We offer workshops designed to help individuals, families and communities uncover and transform self-defeating imprints, the deep-seated beliefs that skew our perceptions and emotional experiences of reality toward distress and mistrust, keeping us in repetitive survival modes of flight, fight or freeze. Negative imprints are activated and strengthened by core emotional addictions to security, power-control, sensation and suffering. These emotional habits keep us in reactive states until we identify them, and through the practice of heart-focused mindfulness, transform their energy.
We provide trainings and offer licensing to addiction treatment centers, and certifications to addiction counselors (and caretakers in helping professions at large), in the application of the Core Emotional Addiction Model to enhance and strengthen recovery from substance and behavioral addictions, and from codependency.
We conduct research on the application of attention and intentional breathing in modulating and transmuting distressing emotional energies.
We organize conferences and seminars on the role of emotions in relationships (familial, organizational, institutional, cultural…).

Shut Down
The original Shut Down by the Beach Boys is one of their earlier tracks when they were doing straight-ahead surf rock. Andy had an idea to go with a darker and more atmospheric arrangement of the song compared to the bright and happy Beach Boys version. Rather than having the chugging guitars and tight drumming, we went with a sparser arrangement and a bit more reverb.
To add to the atmosphere we recorded sound effects of us working in the garage similar to some effects you'd hear on a Dick Dale song. I always like when I get to play the 6 string bass and I ended up trading parts between the tic tac and the normal guitar. The guitar of course has tons of reverb and tremolo. The solo gets a little crazy with the guitar and sax dueling it out with a steel guitar/race car going on in the background.

When I continued my big spring wardrobe cleaning I had to realize I have a yellow top. It's a paler and has 3/4 length grey sleeves but definitely yellow and I kinda like it even though I rarely wear it. Probably because it's too pale to wear it with black but now as I wear more light blue jeans, it's just fine.
If it was warmer I'd go shopping like this, without jacket and with suede slippers…
…but actually it's still chilly outside so I put on my grey hoodie and switched the slippers to Converse. Plus I added my navy bomber jacket as a well needed extra layer.
I love this hoodie with pale jeans too. It's light in colors but not too much which most of the time what I prefer. And this hoodie was a great buy. It's big, comfy and soft, plus it can protect me from smaller rains. What's not to love?
I remember when I bought my first pair of Converse few years ago. It was just the shoes what I missed from my wardrobe. And they're a staple since then. I love to wear them every spring/summer and fall.
I finished this comfy look with my beloved blue suede bag. Comfy, comfy, comfy, just how I like it.
Bomber and hoodie – Topshop, top and slippers – Mango, jeans – Sandro, trainers – Converse, bag – &Other Stories
Hope you have a lovely sunny day too!

Partrac Completes Survey for TiME Project
Partrac, the marine data acquisition experts, has completed the first turbulence survey for the Carbon Trust-managed Turbulence in Marine Environments (TiME) project. This is the first time that a survey has been designed specifically to measure turbulence using different methods and technologies so that each can be evaluated, and turbulence can be mapped across a tidal energy development site.
The survey was undertaken in the Sound of Islay and was designed by Partrac with project partners, Ocean Array Systems, ABPmer, and ITPower. Innovative turbulence measurement instruments were provided by Rockland Scientific International (RSI) in Canada.
The survey included four standard ADCP units, and one advanced five beam Nortek AD2CP unit, each positioned on the sea bed. Three of the locations were at positions where tidal turbines will be installed. A RSI 'Nemo' turbulence mooring was also deployed so that turbulence data could be measured at turbine hub-height. The measurements were taken over a 28-day period during April and May. In addition, a VMP-250 (vertical micro-profiler) was used over two days to gather around 50 profiles of turbulence in the water column. All instruments were deployed to meet industry best practice with the ADCP pitch and roll parameters at less than 5 degrees for the duration of the monitoring period. Data was recorded at a high frequency, which is required to understand turbulence, and resulted in over 700,000 data records per instrument. All equipment was retrieved successfully.
Peter Wilson, a Director and co-owner at Partrac, said, "This is a very exciting project. This is the first time that such a large survey has been designed to specifically measure turbulence using a range of acoustic and non-acoustic measurement techniques. To get data at hub height is a first in such tidal currents and to be able to map turbulence across a development site will be invaluable to developers."
The data collected has now been post-processed by Partrac and RSI and is being provided to the partners for the next stage in the project. ABPmer is undertaking resource characterisation, Ocean Array Systems is providing turbulence characterisation and hydrodynamic analyses, and ITPower is contributing their knowledge of engineering design and device performance.
The next survey deployment is planned for the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth at the end of the summer 2014.
ABPmer has already successfully created and undertaken initial runs of high resolution (<20m) numerical tidal models of both the Islay and Inner Sound sites. These models, giving an accurate representation of the mean flow at the survey sites, have played a vital part in the detailed planning of the two surveys, and will later be used to understand how turbulent features may be accounted for in tidal resource modelling.
The TiME project was announced by the Scottish Energy Minister, Fergus Ewing, in February, when it was awarded funding from the Scottish Government's Marine Renewables Commercialisation Fund (MRCF) Array Technology Innovation Programme for measuring and evaluating turbulent effects in tidal arrays in Scottish Waters. This MRCF project is being managed by the Carbon Trust.
As the tidal industry moves toward development of arrays, the current limited understanding of the effects of turbulence on loading, structure lifetimes and actual energy yield presents significant risk to stakeholders. This research project will ultimately deliver a unified framework for measuring, classifying and predicting the effect of turbulence on resource assessment, device design/operation and array yield.

Psychedelic-folk singer-songwriter Alexa Wilding will be releasing her new EP "Wolved" on July 8th.
This album was co-produced by Tom Beaujour, known for his work with Nada Surf, Julianna Hatfield, and The Mountain Goats. The songs visit a time before she heard the earth shattering news that one of her newborn twins would be battling cancer. While her son beat the illness, Alexa wrote eerie songs on a borrowed toy piano at the hospital while he underwent treatment.
The songs she wrote helped her maintain her sanity, and both her and her son overcame the ordeal together. Wilding explains, "It was fight or flight. Instead of running away I retreated into song, to memory, making peace with the past so I could step up, 'do like the wolves do,' and fight for my family's future." You can watch the music video for "Eden" below.
Upcoming Shows:
May 16 - Mercury Lounge - New York, NY w/ Domino Kirke
July 11 - Rockwood Music Hall - New York, NY (EP Release Show) w/ Annie Hart (of Au Revoir Simone)
Wolves Tracklist:
01. Wolves
02. Eden
03. Road Song
04. Stars
05. Black
06. Durga

The experience was memorable and unforgettable. The boys XC team had qualified to be a apart of the one of the most prestigious post season events in all of high school sports, Nike Cross Nationals. The top 22 teams and top 45 individuals from a total of 9 different regions in the country traveled to compete for the coveted NXN title. Each team competed as a Club Representing their geographical home town. Our boys represented as Eastvale XC Club.
The boys first stop was the Embassy Suites to pick up credentials and then head to Nike World Headquarters to pick up their team NXN uniforms. Their uniforms were white on burgundy (unified California team color) and also picked up other swag such as backpacks, warm ups, shoes, socks, the works. They had a presentation to remember, lights, cameras, music, the works. As you can see in the pictures below their excitement during their gear up experience.
On race day the air was crisp with the temperature in the low 40's and the rain had been pouring all night. The elements were kind enough to stop before race time but the course was already saturated and ready to see the top talent in the US compete. The rain started to come down mid race to intensify an already electrifying race. The boys were led by Senior Raymon Ornelas and his 16:02 finish, Sophomore Raul Chavez followed in 16:17. Senior Moises Rendon put down one of his best efforts of the season to finish 3rd for the team. Senior Tyler Spencer had an off race after getting a 24 hr bug and running through back soreness but still managed to finish 4th for the team in 16:40. Rounding out the scoring 5 was Michael Sahagun who finished in 16:50 which was commendable after coming down with sickness on Wed before we left with 102 fever. Matthew and Aaron Lieberman finished 6th and 7th for the Mustangs while beating out fellow IE competition Great Oaks #6 and #7. The boys finish 15th place as a team on an overall off day for the squad. We feel still finishing 15th in the nation on an off day is a heck of a way to end the season, who else can say that other than the Eastvale XC Club. Congrats to our Mustangs on their amazing 2017 campaign!!

When American troops arrived in Nagasaki and stumbled upon one of the cameramen, from the legendary film company Nippon Eiga Sha, shooting amidst the rubble, they promptly arrested him and confiscated his film. The Americans would halt the entire production in fact.
When they let it continue, they did so as producers, paying for the production and thus retaining the right to the film - and the right to keep it concealed for decades.
The President released a press release, which read in part, "Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. …. If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth."
A 21-year-old American second lieutenant recalled, "When the bombs dropped and news began to circulate that [the invasion of Japan] would not, after all, take place, that we would not be obliged to run up the beaches near Tokyo assault-firing while being mortared and shelled, for all the fake manliness of our facades we cried with relief and joy. We were going to live. We were going to grow up to adulthood after all."

It's been a busy few weeks. My son flew in for a visit, we spent a day at the Portland Art Museum, I did some writing, I got a last-minute visit from an amazing friend, and I have company coming tomorrow for a few days. I'm grateful it's Friday and I have two blissful days away from work. I'm going to do some baking, cleaning, reading, writing, and eating. What's on your agenda? Need something to get you started?
Here are a few things I found this week and wanted to share:
I've been thinking about doing an MFA in creative writing. Found this article in The Atlantic today on the topic.
I'm hoping we can make it to this Scandinavian festival in Astoria, OR this summer.
The book I'm reading this week is The Portable Veblen by Elizabeth McKenzie. See NPR's book review.
This recipe for Lemon Cream scones will brighten up your weekend tea.
I love this embroidery pattern by Kelly Fletcher.
Have I mentioned I'm obsessed with Etsy and all the great artists there? Take a look at this votive holder (I would never cover it up with a candle) by Szilvia Vihrialia of Finland.
I discovered painter Robert Goodnough recently. Here is the article The New York Times ran at the time of his death in 2010.
Have a fantastic weekend.

It is a known fact that audio and video elements appeal to multiple senses, creating a larger impact on the viewers. Because of the same, the video and audio advertisement actsas educational tools. The video ads especially, as they are used for demonstration purposes and guides, the viewers get an idea of how it works.
A video conveys a huge amount of information in a short period of time. The video engages more of the senses, as you can both see and listen at the same time. You make a perfect trust when you are storytelling to a customer, making the customer closer to your product/service.
In this era of YouTube and smartphones, it won't be a difficult choice of whether or not to go professional while creating a video. For those of who are considering going for a video production company, here are few tips to ponder before going for one:
One must have a thorough check through the experience of the staff, years of business for the company and must go through the recent works of the company in order to get a clear-cut idea of the company. It is very easy for anyone to own a high definition camera and an editing software for their computer.
On knowing the video production industry, one will find that there are wide varieties available. There will be large agencies, as well as smaller boutiques. Both have their own pros and cons. A large agency will not be able to provide you with personal customer services, but a smaller one can! The basic step is understanding your organization, know your need and go for the most suitable one.
As said above, it is quite simple for most people to hold a camera and start recording. But that doesn't give you the perfection you require. Look for artists who approach a filming session with passion. Look for a video production company who treats their work as their crafts.
Last andthe most important one is the budget. You probably have the idea of the budget range for the project. You'll find many options for the budget you have, have an in-depth check for the characteristics said above and reach a final decision.

Bordertown A Grade recorded an upset win over the reigning premiers Padthaway in the qualifying final played at Naracoorte on Saturday.
A competitive start to the finals campaign was what we were looking for and that was what we got as we controlled play against a slow reacting Padthaway side.
Been able to shut down their play makers against the contested play and not allow the first use of the footy. With great disposal by hand and foot we were able to carry and run the ball with great speed which was always going to trouble the opposition.
A good win in week one gives us a double chance to make the grand final.
Final scores:
Bordertown 1212.84
Padthaway 7.9.51

The Way We Search For College Is All Wrong
One of the most important steps in many high schoolers' lives is figuring out where to apply to college. For most, they hop on an online search engine, put in a couple of criteria like major, location, type of institution, campus setting, and school size. They end up with a long list of schools and likely pick out a couple whose names they know, maybe where their friends are going, or perhaps one their guidance counselor recommended.
What's the problem, you ask? Is that how you search for a house? Is that how you search for a car? This process completely ignores the financial ramifications of your college choice. It leads to potentially disastrous choices that parents make down the line to risk their retirement, put their homes at risk, or work longer, just to finance their child's choice of institution.
Follow me for a second. Your child comes to you with a list of schools. They apply to several. They get all excited for their dream school. In the spring of their senior year, you receive the financial aid award letters. And surprise! You realize you can't afford any of them given your current financial situation.
So what do you do? Disappoint your child? Many parents can't bring themselves to do this. So they start thinking about their options. Perhaps visiting a financial planner to help them. At this point they can do a few things. Find some more income to pay the bill. Take out loans to pay the bill. Borrow from retirement accounts to pay the bill. Take a second mortgage on their house to pay the bill. And if they do this for their first child, where does that leave them for subsequent children?
It doesn't have to be this way. What happens when you start thinking about buying a house? What is the first thing you do? You figure out how much house you can afford. And if you don't start there, your mortgage lender will quickly drag you there (or at least they should!). At this point your dreams may be shattered because you realize you can't afford as much house as you want. But this is for your own good. It protects you and the lender.
Why isn't shopping for college this way?
We know that investing in your child's education is still a good investment. Here's the thing. It's only a good investment if it doesn't jeopardize your financial future! I'm here to help you protect that future.
So the first step should be figuring out how much you can afford to PAY. At this point ignore your potential EFC (another blog post coming on that soon). I can promise you that what the government says that you should contribute and what you can actually afford, are VERY different numbers. Do it when your child is a freshman in high school, or right now if they're older than that.
Here's how:
- Take a look at your income. How much can you realistically take from current cash flow to pay college bills? Remember that colleges expect to be paid at the beginning of the semester so make sure you start putting that cash flow aside during your child's senior year.
- Does your income allow you to qualify for tax credits while your child is in school? Count those as available funds.
- Do you have any expenses that will go down in the near future - car payments, loan payments, spending less on kids' activities? Are you willing to restrict your lifestyle a bit to save money?Count the cash freed up by those as well.
- Can you redirect some funds that are currently going to savings or retirement accounts? Count those - but only if your retirement is on track.
- Will you have any non-regular funds like bonuses, inheritances, or other income to use for college? Think about counting those, but remember they're not guaranteed.
- Consider loans - that your child will take out. Every child can borrow through the Federal Direct Loan program. They can borrow $5,500 their first year. And if they borrow the maximum from this program each year of four years, they will come out of school with a monthly payment of around $300. That's not the end of the world, and it will help them have a vested interest in their education.
- And finally, if you've saved for your child's college education, count a portion of those (somewhere between 15% and 20% - just in case your child doesn't finish in 4 years).
Add those all up. What do they amount to? Is it $10,000 a year? $15,000? More? Less? That's your budget. It doesn't matter if your EFC is $35,000, you are not going to be able to afford to send your child to a school where your net price is $35,000. Neither the government, nor the college itself knows how much you can afford. Their calcuations are for them - to decide if you are eligible for need-based aid.
So what do you do once you determine how much you can afford? Stay tuned for future blog posts where I will lay it all out.
If you can start by thinking about how much you can afford, you are WELL on your way to making smart financial decisions and becoming an informed college consumer!

Who cares about McManaman - Sunderland sign a FA Cup finalist, Champions League & former Dutch International you say?
There are literally no reasons to be concerned about Callum McManaman leaving.
Click here to find out how to get a few quid and write for We Are Wearside!
His last minute equaliser against Middlesbrough was nice, I'll give him that. But let's be honest he did bot all else in a Sunderland shirt. That goal, by the way, was his first in about three years since he left the team he is now rejoining - Wigan.
McManaman was probably on a decent wage too, having robbed West Brom of £28k a week during his spell and our tendancy to hoy stupid sums at substanded footballers. He had a bit of flair for turning one way, then the other, doing very little and getting booked for retaliating to his own uselessness when losing the ball.
I wrote on Wednesday that I was pretty happy to hear that Aiden McGeady fancies a crack at League One with Sunderland. That McManaman was mentioned in the same breath probably means that carries less weight, but the Scotsman isn't on the list of players we want to hang on to. If you want to be disappointed by something this summer, don't let it be this. I'm almost annoyed I've written three paragraphs on it.
If that news was little bit meh to you, then perhaps it'll be better to talk about the new face to arrive. Former Dutch International Glen Loovens joins on a two year deal. At 34, it's easy to also be a little meh about that too, but he earned his duo of caps in his country's warm ups before the 2010 World Cup - that one where they reached the final. So it's safe to say he was decent at the time, playing Champions League football with Celtic before a short stint in La Liga.
Whilst that sounds like some decent pedigree for a League One defender, it's perhaps more endearing that he has spent the last five years of his career playing in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday, where he was club captain for most of it too. He didn't play in either of the games Sunderland failed to
turn up in win against Wednesday last season.
He turns 35 in September and hasn't been blessed with pace at any given point of his career, so let's hope his experience and well documented aerial prowess more than makes up for that. On signing for Sunderland he said;
"I'm very pleased. Sunderland is a big club with great support so I can't wait to get started."
Aye they all say that Glenn. Cheers though.
Unlike every other Sunderland signed this summer, I've actually heard of this fella. A few years back he wasn't an obscure name by any means, starting in the FA Cup final for Cardiff that Portsmouth ultimately won before capitulating. I probably remember him best from his stint at Celtic, because I watch more Champions League than I did Championship at the time.
Anyway, probably one of the more reassuring signings of the summer so far. Still plenty more to come.

Science of Changing Leaves
An explosion of brilliant colors is a hallmark of the fall season. Summer's lush greens are replaced with mellow yellows and oranges as well as vivid reds and purples. It seems some trees turn overnight when taking on their glorious fall colors, while others gradually assume their fall color palette. Eventually, with the colder weather,

The Ebola virus which swept through three West African countries last year and in the first half of 2015 is terrifying. It has a high fatality rate, and the way people die is brutal – from internal and external bleeding, high fevers, vomiting, diarrhoea and organ failure.
More than 11,000 people, including more than 500 doctors, nurses and village healthcare workers, died after being infected by the virus in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
For the time being, the disease is under control in West Africa. But no one can be sure what is coming next. "Viruses are unpredictable," says Dr Ron Fouchier, a virologist at Rotterdam's Erasmus Medical Centre who has been named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. "There will always be new ones that come when they're least expected."
No doubt you are suffering from Ebola news fatigue after all the traumatic coverage that has been given to the fight against the disease. But imagine what it is like for all the millions of Liberians, Guineans and Sierra Leonians, most of them dirt-poor, who have had to live alongside this invisible killer and who fear that it might erupt again at any time. I have seen Ebola described as a shark lurking, ready to attack, in the molecules of human blood systems.
Even when researchers do find new viruses, it is difficult to say which of them might pose a major threat. Few people, for example, would have anticipated that HIV/Aids, the world's largest pandemic of our time, killing one thousand people a day in South Africa alone, would be caused by a virus that had not previously been associated with major infectious disease.
What might come next and what needs to be done are among the many questions that will be tackled by three of Scotland's top international aid experts at an Ebola Effect Conversation from 6 to 7.30pm at St John's Church, Princes Street, tomorrow as part of the Just Festival. Come and listen to Simon O'Connell, executive director of Mercy Corps' Edinburgh-based European headquarters; Dennis Kerr, an Edinburgh-based registered nurse who is on the board of Médecins Sans Frontières and who spent time in Liberia at the peak of the epidemic; and Jamie Livingstone, head of Oxfam in Scotland.
Fred Bridgland is a journalist and author. He will be chairing the Ebola Effect Conversation

ASCO and NCI Patient Information Wallet Card
Wallet Card Helps Doctors and Patients Stay Connected During Disasters
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a tool that we hope will be helpful to oncologists and people with cancer in the event of a national or natural disaster, when patients may not be able to access their medical team for care.
ASCO and NCI have developed and tested with physicians and other medical staff a card that patients can carry in their wallets that will guide them to ASCO's patient information Web site (www.cancer.net) and NCI's Cancer Information Service (1-800-4-CANCER) if they are displaced from their homes due to a disaster situation. Download and print out the card.
The card includes information on how to access ASCO and NCI information tools. It also includes space on the back, where medical staff can include brief information about the patient's care in case the patient needs to be treated by a doctor who is unfamiliar with his or her diagnosis or treatment.

Consumers get more protection from shock bills on stolen mobiles
Mobile users will be protected from huge bills run up on stolen phones, thanks to an agreement between major operators and the government.
EE, O2, Three, Virgin Media and Vodafone have all signed a voluntary agreement to offer consumers a £100 'liability cap' – a limit set on a certain party's liability – for their pay monthly phone when they report it lost or stolen to the mobile network and police within 24 hours.
The deal will protect 27m consumers on pay monthly contracts from being hit with huge bills that are not their doing.
According to the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit (NMPCU) around 300,000 mobiles are reported stolen to the police each year in the UK.
Digital minster Ed Vaizey said: "Protecting hardworking families from shock bills through no fault of their own has been a priority for this government.
"By working with the mobile operators, we have secured an agreement that will provide consumers with real benefits as well as offer peace of mind."
Three has already introduced this protection for its customers in January this year. It will be followed by EE in the coming weeks and Virgin from July 1.
Vodafone will introduce the cap this summer, and O2 has said it plans to bring it in by September 2015.
The protection is part of a new Code of Practice that all five mobile operators have signed up to.
The code will also help protect consumers from unexpectedly high bills and excessive costs from things like out of bundles charges, roaming, and premium rate services and in-app purchases.
'Major new protection'
Operators will provide clear and transparent pricing information, and alerts when people reach data bundle limits, or give them the ability to monitor usage.
Consumers will also get information on how to turn off data roaming and avoid roaming charges; and a barring function will protect users against unauthorised or inadvertent calls to premium rate voice services, and protect against in-app purchases.
The operators have all spoken of the benefits of the code and how it will benefit consumers.
Kip Meek, director of Public Policy at EE, said the firm advises customers to protect their phone as they would their wallet and make full use of the security features, including SIM lock and said it was crucial that customers report losses or thefts as soon as possible.
Three CEO Dave Dyson said the liability cap is one of a series of measures it had pioneered to help ensure customers are protected and in control of their spending.
Annie Brooks, director of Virgin Mobile, said: "This cross-industry agreement simplifies things for consumers by making the treatment of fraudulent use of lost or stolen phones consistent."
She said it remained vital that people report their phone is lost or stolen as soon as possible, and Mark Bond, customer operations director at Vodafone, also urged people to report phones missing as soon as they can to prevent criminals building up high charges.
Hamish MacLeod, chair of the Mobile Broadband Group, described the announcement as a "major new protection for customers" and said it would help customers protect their mobile and its contents.
He added: "We urge customers, though, to continue taking steps to look after their phone – always using a PIN, installing a tracker App, registering devices at www.immobilise.com and reporting a loss as soon as possible.
"All these steps taken to together will continue to limit the impact and inconvenience that customers suffer when mobiles are lost or stolen."

Poll: Elder Care Obligations Putting Strain on Young American Adults
One third of Americans under 40 have spent time caring for an older relative or friend, while another third expect to do so in the next few years, a new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds. Furthermore, the burden of caregiving appears to be causing these younger adults more stress than their older peers:
These younger caregivers, age 18‑39, differ from caregivers age 40 and older in several ways. Younger caregivers spend fewer hours providing care compared to caregivers age 40 and older, who are more than twice as likely to spend 10 or more hours a week providing unpaid care (26 percent vs. 63 percent). Although they spend less time providing care, younger caregivers are more likely to report being at least moderately stressed by caregiving (80 percent) than are caregivers age 40 and older (67 percent). While caregivers age 40 and older are disproportionately female compared to the overall population (59 percent female vs. 41 percent male), this is not true of younger caregivers, who are just as likely to be male (48 percent female vs. 52 percent male).
Most caregivers say they are getting the support they need in their elder care obligations, with young adults saying they mostly rely on family for this support and often use social media to solicit the help they need. Younger prospective caregivers, not surprisingly, are more likely than their over-40 counterparts to say they feel unprepared to take on the role, but most say they expect to share these responsibilities with someone else.
The AP-NORC survey also found that most young American adults have little confidence that government safety-net programs will be there for them in their old age: only around 10 percent expect Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid to provide benefits at that time comparable to or better than they offer today. Younger Americans are also unsure of whether they will be financially prepared to their own elder care needs in retirement, with only 16 percent saying they were very confident that they would have the resources to meet those needs.
Previous research has shown that becoming a volunteer caregiver for family members or other loved ones pushes working adults to reduce their work hours, leading to reduced income, and can lead to physical health problems including weight gain and anxiety. Caregiving for chronically ill, disabled, or elderly loved ones often falls to women in middle age: The typical profile of a caregiver is a woman in her fifties caring for one or both of her parents. This often causes a decline in women's incomes at what ought to be a high point in their careers, contributing to the gender gaps in lifetime earnings and retirement readiness.
As this new study shows, however, the strain of caring for an aging population is being felt across the workforce, and not only by women: While caregivers age 40 and older are disproportionately female, the poll found, the gender split among younger caregivers is about equal (48 percent female to 52 percent male, a difference within the margin of error).
To help ease this burden, 81 percent of young adult respondents told the AP-NORC that they thought employers should offer long-term care insurance plans as a benefit, just as most offer health insurance. Another way employers can help is to recognize that many of their employees will be called upon to care for an elderly loved one and to offer them paid leave for this purpose so that they can take that time without hurting their careers or incomes.
Proponents of caregiving leave point to its potential business benefits as an attraction and retention tool, as well as its benefits to employees in terms of their own retirement security and constraining the gender pay gap. Progressive employers have begun offering this benefit in growing numbers over the past two years, including big names like Deloitte, Facebook, and Microsoft. Smaller employers may not be able to match the generous policies on offer at these giant companies, but could potentially afford flexible PTO or family leave policies that encompass caregiving as well as parental and sick leave.

Child custody agreements in North Carolina are often complex. They have to deal with a great many issues and do so in a manner that fosters the best interests of the child. The custody and visitation plan will allocate the physical and legal custody of the child between the two parents.
Physical custody describes where the child will spend his or her time. In some cases, it may be possible to structure a plan that allows for an almost equal split of time between parents. However, for this to work, the parents must live fairly close to each other and in close proximity to the child's school.
The child also needs to be capable of dealing with the amount of movement between both households for this to work. Both parents also need to have jobs that permit the necessary flexibility for them to care for their child under this scenario. If one parent works overnight or travels for weeks at a time for work, such a plan is likely to be unworkable.
Legal custody involves the decision-making responsibility for the child. In many custody plans, this is allocated on a shared basis, with each parent having input in the school, religious upbringing, medical care decisions and other important elements that will shape the child's development.
Children have been found to do best and thrive when both parents are involved and are positive and supportive of the children. One way to demonstrate this is to create a custody arrangement that minimizes the likelihood of conflict between the parents.
Maintaining civil and businesslike relations with your child's other parent will greatly help your child adjust to life after divorce and help to reduce the anxiety and stress that results from contentious parental relations.

Kifune Shrine is an ancient shrine in northern Kyoto that enshrines the god of water
Using Eizan Electric railway you can get to the northern area of Rakuhoku in about 30 minutes from the city center, and leave the bustle and hustle of the city behind you. The shrine most representative of this Kibune area is, of course, Kifune Shrine, which, because water is the source of all life, enshrines the dragon-god of water, and because the Kibune River is the source of the Kamo River, this shrine has a strong connection with nature. Since the ancient times, Kifune Shrine has been thought of as a place with a strong connection with the life energy "qi," which is one of the reasons why many people go to this shrine even to this day. The vast shrine is made up of three shrines: Honguu, Yuinoyashiro, and Okunomiya. Because Kifune Shrine is surrounded by nature, in summer you can enjoy the green leaves, in autumn the autumn leaves, and in winter you can see the shrine covered in snow. They have many events all through the year like illuminations, which must be one of the reasons why so many people keep coming back to this shrine. How about going to Kifune Shrine and receiving energy from the god of water?
After you walk all the way up the path lined with red lanterns, you get to Honguu, where you can find the main and the prayer hall. The god enshrined behind the prayer hall at the main hall is the god of water, Takaokami-nomkami. Kifune Shrine is also known as the place where the ema wooden plaques originated, so they have two statues of horses by Honguu: a white one and a black one.
After a 15-minute walk from the main hall, you will get to Okunomiya. Okunomiya is at the place where the very first shrine used to be. Right now there is no staff present at Okunomiya, but the place has a very solemn, sacred atmosphere, so I hope you will walk up to Okunomiya when you go to Kifune Shrine.
3Good Experiences
Pray for good marriage luck at Yuinoyashiro
Kifune Shrine is actually also famous as a place to pray for good marriage luck. The god who presides over marriage, Iwanagahime-no-mikoto, is enshrined at Yuinoyashiro, and it is said that the famous Heian period woman poet Izumi Shikibu, who wrote many love poems, also visited Yuinoyashiro.
4Good Experiences
Water fortune slip
At Kifune Shrine, you can try your luck with an interesting fortune slip. At first, this slip is just a white piece of paper, but when you let it float on the water, you will slowly get to see the letters. The fortune slip is in Japanese, but it has a QR code on it so you can check the translation with your smartphone, in English, Korean, and simplified and traditional Chinese.

Kifune Shrine is famous for its red lantern posts that line the path to the shrine. Walking up the path to the shrine, you feel solemn but refreshed. Besides the shrine buildings, they have a rock garden and two huge cedar trees that grow from the same roots. There is a lot to see at this shrine, and because the shrine is far from the city, the temperature can be much, even up to 10 degrees lower than in the city center, so this shrine is a great place to escape from the hotness of Kyoto City in summer. There are also some great hiking trails around the shrine.
