Category: Lassithi Elounda Beach
Elounda is a nice beach, just like all the other beaches of Crete. It has many coffees around and great taverns with low prices. In fact, I believe the cheapest taverns in Crete are in Elounda. We ate in three taverns there and paid no more than 40 euros, 5 people. From Elounda, take the boat and go to Spinalonga. Nice daily excursion. Spinalonga was a castle and a place for the lepers until some decades ago.

It is very close to Agios Nikolaos and very organized. Relaxing sea and nice sand. A couple of taverns by the sea, as usual on all Greek islands. Gets crowded in the afternoon but calms down in the evening.

Being of Dutch decent, I'm particularly excited to announce the introduction of Rotterdam, Netherlands as the latest 3D city to be in Google Earth!
While there's plenty to see when visiting this southern city of 600,000 residents, if you're a fan of architecture then you'll want to fly directly to the Kubuswoningen (cube houses).
The Kubuswonigen is a set of innovative houses designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. The houses are tilted at 45 degrees, and sit on hexagon-shaped pylons. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
The cube houses are quite an attraction and visitors are said to frequently disturb the local so often that one owner reportedly decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors. Brilliant!
The geo-modeling community is very active in Rotterdam. Over 100 user-created buildings (created with Google SketchUp and Google Building Maker) are in the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth - including the cube houses, the Erasmus bridge ("De Zwaan"), and the Feijenoord Stadion, among others.

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CPU Technology, Inc. (CPU Tech) announced today the immediate availability of the Acalis® CPU872 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) with embedded DRAM and tamper protection for qualified customers. The Acalis CPU872, a Field Programmable MultiCore (FPMC), directly addresses the need for a tamper-resistant, trusted supply of high-performance processing devices for use in vital applications. Fabricated at the IBM Trusted Foundry in cooperation with the Trusted Access Program Office and U.S. Navy sponsorship, the Acalis CPU872 combines defenses against malicious circuits and other Trojan horses, and effective and resilient run-time techniques to protect against tampering and reverse-engineering without impacting performance.
Industries such as financial, military & aerospace, and communications, along with many others that maintain critical infrastructure, are increasingly concerned with the security of their computer systems. Of growing concern is the threat that systems containing foreign-made components, in some cases of an unknown origin, are vulnerable to tampering. According to the Defense Science Board Task Force report on High Performance Microchip Supply released in February 2005, recent shifts in the electronics supply structure open such components to the insertion of "Trojan horses" and other unauthorized design inclusions. These backdoor features could be used to disrupt operations or obtain confidential and proprietary information. Other areas of concern include loss of intellectual property through reverse engineering and interruption of the supply chain to critical applications. Recently, a group led by a Princeton University computer security researcher demonstrated a simple method of stealing encrypted information. As reported by The New York Times, February 22, 2008, the group used a can of air to freeze the memory chips and special pattern-recognition software to identify security keys. Their technique compromises industry standards such as "Trusted Computing" hardware as well as utilities contained in the most popular operating systems.
In addition to integral security features, the highly integrated SoC is not susceptible to the Princeton type attacks. The device contains dual high performance PowerPC® 440 and FPU cores, embedded DRAM, and utility compute engines to accelerate computation of complex algorithms, communications, and synchronization between processors. This integration enables designers to build systems with significantly fewer components resulting in increased reliability and decreased power, cost and area. Its low power consumption makes the CPU872 the most efficient high performance PowerPC offering in the industry.
"Our customers and partners are involved in high value critical computing applications and have serious security concerns about the source, content, design knowledge, and management of critical computing resources such as processors, FPGAs, memory devices, and integrated systems. Ubiquitous high value computing infrastructure such as financial, transportation, military, process control and other embedded systems have become the targets of equally sophisticated and well financed criminal, subversive, and clandestine threats. As the flow of design knowledge has spread around the world, the ability and the willingness to insert a variety of trap doors, time dependent hidden features, Trojan horses and other such hard-to-detect schemes directly into silicon has become equally widespread," said Ed King, CEO and Founder of CPU Tech. He continued, "The Acalis CPU872 is a fully trusted design from a tightly controlled trusted process that is directly integrated into the Trusted Foundry at IBM."
"The anti-tamper, anti-reverse engineering and firewall capabilities contained in the CPU872 SoC will help enable the DoD to preserve its investment in critical technologies," said Charles Caposell, U.S. Navy Program Manager. "The combination of security and high performance in a standard Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) device will be of immense value to the DoD and other security-minded organizations."
The CPU872 is an industrial grade device with a minimum ten year life span. Samples are available to qualified organizations. For more information, please contact Gail Walters at (703) 251-2566 or (925) 224-9920, or Richard Kessinger at (703) 251-2568.

This week: Prime Minister Theresa May's speech mishaps, a standoff in Catalonia and the lion that took on an Osprey.
British Prime Minister Theresa May used her keynote speech to deliver a powerful message to the Conservative Party's annual conference in Manchester this week. Mrs. May's speech continued against a backdrop that was literally falling to pieces, one letter at a time, and was accompanied by a prolonged coughing fit and an interruption from "comedian" Lee Nelson.
That aside, the PM's speech contained elements that moved markets. Most notably, she promised action on soaring household energy bills, with the publication of a draft bill for an energy cap as early as next week. A minority of savvy consumers in the UK switch energy suppliers frequently to take advantage of the best deals on offer at any time. But most do nothing, and are rewarded for their loyalty (or apathy) by being placed on the "standard variable rate tariff" – usually the most expensive plan offered by the supplier. News of the proposed cap on such tariffs sent the energy sector sharply lower. Shares in British Gas owner Centrica lost 6.5% in the wake of the speech, while rival SSE fell 3.5%.
Meanwhile, sterling was set to deliver its worst weekly performance in a year after Mrs. May's speech sparked uncertainty over the prime minister's future. The pound was down nearly 2.5% against the U.S. dollar in early trading on Friday.
Stand-off in Catalonia
The ramifications of last weekend's referendum in Catalonia have been keenly felt in Spain's equity and bond markets. The vote, which was ruled illegal by Madrid, was overwhelmingly in favor of independence, and the Barcelona-based Catalan government has threatened to secede in the coming days. The Ibex-35 Index hit lows last seen in March early in the week, while the yield on Spanish 10-year government bonds climbed to its highest level since March. Financial stocks have been hit hardest, with banks based in Catalonia, notably CaixaBank and Sabadell, feeling the pain most acutely. Sabadell has decided to move its legal headquarters out of the region, and CaixaBank is thought to be considering its options.
Taxing times for Amazon and Apple
Tax avoidance by multinational companies moved back into the spotlight. This week, the European Commission ordered Amazon to pay €250 million (US$292 million) in back taxes after its competition watchdog ruled that the online retailer had benefited from nearly 10 years of illegal state support from Luxembourg. Margrethe Vestager, the European competition commissioner, said that under a "sweetheart" deal, Amazon had been allowed to pay four times less tax than other local companies. Luxembourg issued a statement rejecting the ruling.
Apple's favorable tax treatment courtesy of Ireland also hit the headlines again. More than a year after the commission ordered Apple to pay a record €13 billion (US$15.2 billion) in back taxes, no action has been taken. Ms. Vestager is now taking the case to the European Court of Justice to force Ireland to implement its decision. Ireland described the ruling as "regrettable," and Apple is set to appeal. This week's actions are also likely to rekindle tensions with the U.S. Congress, which said last year that the decision could undermine foreign investment.
U.S. stocks hit new high
All three benchmark U.S. equity indices touched record highs this week, after a report showing that an index of services sector activity hit its highest level since 2005, boosting optimism on the strength of the U.S. economy. The S&P 500 Index finished 1.30% higher in the week to Thursday's close. In the UK, the FTSE 100 Index rose 1.83%, while the FTSE World Europe Ex UK Index finished the week up by 0.74%.
And finally…
Professional rugby union players are a hardy breed, and injury lists are accordingly lengthy. But last week, Ospreys hooker Scott Baldwin joined the ranks of rugby's fallen for the most unlikely of reasons. A clip shared widely on social media shows Baldwin sticking his hand through the bars of a cage to stroke a lion at a South African game reserve. The Wales internationalist was subsequently rushed to hospital where he had to swallow his pride and have some stitches. He missed an upcoming game against (ironically) the Cheetahs, who mauled his team 44-25. Ospreys' coach Steve Tandy commented: "I don't know what sort of wildlife show Scott has been watching where you can pat a lion on the head as if it's a kitten." Perhaps he'll have a new claws added to his contract banning such activities. Meanwhile, Baldwin's Wikipedia page has been amended to reflect his painfully won status as "amateur lion tamer."

Tooth whitening refers to procedures or products that make teeth look brighter. Tooth whitening has been gaining popularity since the 1990s.
Teeth can be whitened with or without bleach. Bleach products contain a peroxide agent (usually carbamide peroxide, which comes in concentrations of 10%, 16%, and 22%) to take away surface stains and underlying stains. This changes the color of the tooth. Bleaching can be done at home or professionally at a dentist's office. Some dentists use lasers or lights along with bleaching chemicals, which some claim makes bleaching faster and/or more effective.
Non-bleach products use chemicals or abrasive agents to clean stains off the tooth's surface.
Extrinsic stains refer to those on the surface of the teeth. People with extrinsic stains are good candidates for over-the-counter and home-use products. Intrinsic stains, which are beyond the tooth's enamel of the tooth, are more difficult to remove. Removing intrinsic stains is generally more effective when treated in a dentist's office.
Whitening toothpastes and other whitening products can be bought at dental offices or over-the-counter, and then used at home. There are also home remedies or natural remedies for teeth whitening. Some of these at-home products are pastes that are brushed on the teeth. Some are hydrogen peroxide strips with backings that are peeled off. Strips are placed on the teeth for about 30 minutes, often twice daily, for 10 days to roughly three weeks. Other products may include a mouth guard or tray. The whitening gel or solution is applied to the tray, which is then placed on the teeth and typically worn overnight.
Whitening at a dentist's office, sometimes called "chairside bleaching," takes 30-60 minutes, and may involve more than one office visit. First a rubber shield or special gel is applied to protect the gums and tissues in the mouth. Then a bleaching agent is put on the teeth. The whitening agents used by dentists are often more powerful than those sold over-the-counter.
Some dentists offer a relatively new process called "deep bleaching," developed by dentist Rod Kurthy, who also tests products for dental product manufacturers. Deep bleaching may cost up to $1,500 and takes two in-office bleachings with a combination of chemical whiteners, plus an at-home application of whiteners in between.
Because results from studies have varied, there is disagreement among dentists on whether laser beams or other types of lighting improve the effectiveness of tooth bleaching. Some believe that the lights activate the peroxide whiteners more quickly and to a greater extent.
There has been criticism of bias regarding some studies of tooth whitening products that are funded or implemented by companies that sell these products.
The most extreme methods of tooth whitening are cosmetic procedures, such as bonding, veneers, and crowns.
Theory / Evidence
Teeth can be stained by beverages (such as tea, coffee, colas, red wine), foods (such as berries, tomatoes, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar), tobacco products, certain medicines, and genetic factors.
Whitening toothpastes remove stains on the tooth's surface (extrinsic stains) with abrasives and chemicals that buff away stains, but unlike a bleaching agent, they will not alter the color of teeth.
Bleaching with a peroxide agent (typically carbamide peroxide) attacks stains that are under the tooth's surface (intrinsic stains) when applied. The agents break down and sink into the tooth, where they attach to stain particles and break them up.
Lasers and lights are said by some to activate or speed up the whitening process, although evidence of effectiveness is mixed.
Natural methods include avoiding agents that cause stains, such as abstaining from or limiting smoking, drinking coffee, etc. Some also suggest that by eating foods that are high in fiber and that trigger a lot of salivation, the bacteria that contribute to staining may be eliminated.

Many experts and organizations, including the American Dental Association (ADA), recommend consulting a dentist before making any decisions about whitening or using whitening products. This consultation is intended to deliver information that suits the client's particular situation, as well as to learn about potential side effects, cost, etc.
Products that can be bought over-the-counter or from a dentist include whitening toothpastes, brush-on whiteners, strips, and various kits that contain strips, bite-shaped trays, and gels. These products are typically intended to be used for 2-4 weeks.
Procedures at a dentist's office include bleaching or laser/light-assisted bleaching. These procedures take about 60 minutes.
Tooth whitening bleaches that are approved by the ADA for home use contain 10% carbamide peroxide. Dentists usually use products with concentrations as high as 35%.
Natural methods for teeth whitening include applying lemon juice, wood ash, strawberries, aloe vera gel, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, salt, vodka, bay leaves, orange peel, or others on the teeth. Note: Some sources warn about potential decay and damage to the tooth's enamel with some these methods. Therefore, patients should consult their healthcare providers before trying any of these methods.
The effects of whitening depend on how teeth looked before treatment, how often foods and beverages that stain are consumed, and whether or not the person smokes. According to product reviews, professional whitening may last five to seven years.

A Ridiculous Number Of The World's Most Beautiful Women Went To The Burberry LOVE Party Last Night
What do you mean you weren't invited?
BY editors | Feb 22, 2017 | News
Depending on how interested you are in women's clothes, you may or may not have noticed it is currently London Fashion Week.
As such, the best and beautiful are currently gathered in the capital to admire the latest designer collections and - more importantly - sip free Champagne at an endless stream of fabulous parties.
Still, even by LFF standards last night's Burberry / LOVE Magazine party was a ridiculous affair with everyone who is anyone in the world of being very good looking gathered under one roof, raising the dangerous prospect that a fire could set human evolution back by at least a decade.
OK we're exaggerating, but still: Bella Hadid was there.
So was Daisy Lowe and Gwendoline Christie:
And Ellie Goulding:
Helena Christensen, for Christ's sake:
Jourdan Dunn:
Kendall Jenner, obviously:
Justine Skye:
Suki Waterhouse:
Oh and Nick Grimshaw was there. Because the bastard always is.

Times getting harder to find but things have been happening slowly, thanks if you still have the patience to keep looking so lets look. Here I have mounted sections of hard wood to the battery frames to attach the fairing panels to.
Next I have made cardboard patterns for the fairing panels and then cut them out of polycarbonate, used a heat gun to soften and bend to fit the contour of the bike
End up with the rough shape mounted to the bike, I'm going to make this a water tight housing.
Next the rear panel which will have the ignition switch and power point for recharging, also have to cut out hole for the 72 volt DC to DC converter to fit
Looking in the top
The external power point for recharge, you can see the DC to DC converter as well
Keyed isolation and ignition switch
Next to build the top cover for the bike, I want a nice smooth arch so I have used "hoop Iron" with an angle iron back bone to make the supporting structure
Then drilled and screwed into place this will be covered buy 1mm thick balsa wood, very flexible then fibre glassed
Oh the smell of resin
Back soon after this drys and I can remove and shape
Cheer,s ROB

MATTAPOISETT — The Conservation Commission is delaying a plan to pave the gravel portion of Foster Street because of the question of who owns the road.
The board Monday night referred the quandary to town counsel after reviewing a proposal from John and Roger Gibbons to pave 685 feet of Foster Street, a private way, extending from property they own on that street.
Kevin McLean of 16 Foster St. said the Gibbons don't own the road. He and his neighbors have deeded ownership of it. "We own it," he said.
Attorney Robert Feingold, representing Kevin McLean and his wife, Laura McLean, Standard-Times garden columnist, said his clients do not agree that paving the country-lane-style road will improve it. "The neighbors are in opposition," he said.
Feingold said the street has been a rustic, rural right-of-way "forever." Paving it will lead to asphalt oil and gasoline leaking into wetlands. "The shoulder will absorb storm water runoff," he said. "There is no stormwater management plan."
Conservation board Chair Michael King said that paved roads are a better way to protect natural resource areas because they prevent sediment from running off into wetlands. Winter plowing of a gravel road only sends more sediment into wetlands. "It's difficult for us from a resource management perspective to agree with you," King said.
Modern-day asphalt, he added, is scientifically refined. "It is better for a resource area."
The Gibbons' engineering consultant Alan Ewing began the hearing by noting the paving will affect three rental homes on Foster Street. The plan, he said, will include an existing culvert and sewer and gas lines and the construction of a sedimentation barrier.
Gibbons' attorney, Peter Paul, said his clients are agreeable to adding more drainage and even speed bumps to the paved road.
King said, however, the board needs an opinion from town counsel on the matter of who owns the right to pave Foster Street. For that reason, King motioned and the board agreed to continue the hearing until its next meeting, July 23.

In Praise of Paper
This is a photo of some of my sketchbooks and watercolour journals. This collection is only an indication of my love of paper and books; it doesn't include the journals I use for writing only. Those include separate ones for writing down prayers, dreams, ideas, and business plans.
These sketchbooks are used for travel journalling, sketching product ideas, and creating small images for my blogs, emails, and to license to gift products.
With the advent to technology, one might be tempted to think that paper will go the way of silent movies and eight-track tapes. Not so. Too many people love working with paper, writing instruments, and paintbrushes to give up paper. Even those of us who love tech gadgets can also have an abiding fondness for the feel of paper and pen in hand.
I love paper! Especially old books! But there is also something satisfying about writing pen or pencil on paper that is entirely different from typing. I can't even get used to drawing with a wacom tablet! It just feels different and I don't like the feeling as much. :-/

Two members of Cohort 10 have written a blog about their experience of their initial cohort meeting:
Tania Winzenberg
I joined the Oxford International Primary Care Research Leadership Programme in 2011. It was a major commitment for myself, due to the distances required to travel from Australia, and a major investment for my university to enable my attendance but both have been very worthwhile.
The structured training within the program provided exposure to a variety of leaders in primary care and a number of tools to use in developing my leadership skills. The opportunity to develop collaborations is excellent. The groups in which we work provide peer support, collegiality and friendship. The course is prestigious in Australia and opens doors in career progression as well as the benefits of personal and professional development. Taking time out for strategic thinking in this environment has been terrifically useful for generating, focusing on and accomplishing important goals.
Marienke van Middelkoop
In 2011 it was encouraged to apply for the Oxford Leadership Programme. I was very happy with this encouragement, although I didn't know what to expect when I arrived for the first time in Oxford. The programme has not disappointed me in any way. I have had the privilege to listen to outstanding speakers in the fieldof general practice, management and leadership and to meet excellent researchers from all over the world every year. In addition, cohort 6 has offered me an excellent peer group of researchers with who I can exchange experiences, reflect and drink a beer in the pub.
As a direct result of the programme, I was given the opportunity to spend five weeks at the Menzies Research Institute in Tasmania Australia on a visiting fellowship. In addition, the joint residential meeting has led to new collaborations with primary care researchers worldwide. For example, one of the PhD students I am supervising in Rotterdam has spent 5 weeks at the University of Melbourne to work on a collaborative project. This all would not have happened without the Oxford Leadership Programme.
Sarah Purdy
It feels like a tremendous privilege to take time away from 'real work' and spend three or four days in the beautiful surroundings of an Oxford college. Over the past four years these meetings have become one of the highlights of the year. It is rare to spend time on reflection, to have the opportunity to focus on one's own development or to be challenged and stretched by conversations with people you have grown to know and trust. As a result of participating in the Leadership Programme I have developed new research links, a network of colleagues across Europe and Australia and the confidence to aspire to and take on new challenges in both my research and wider academic roles.
Jose M Valderas
I joined the International Leadership Programme in 2008 as part of Cohort 3, one of the biggest. I have thoroughly enjoyed my participation both from an academic and social perspective (and possibly even a
personal one). The whole experience took to a whole new level when we started to attend the Leadership Programme meetings including several cohorts. The possibilities were suddenly dramatically increased.
As a result of my participation in the Leadership Programme, I decided to move to Oxford and join the Department in 2010. My particapation in the programme was also a catalyst in my research on multimorbidity: we created with other members of the Leadership Programme, a network of researchers with an interested on multimorbidity, and as a result of this collaboration two international workshops have been organized, we have put together a number of applications for funding and written a number of manuscripts.
Kamal Mahtani
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from a "leadership" programme and had thoughts of listening to smart people in smart suits talking about "blue sky thinking". What I experienced, and continue to, is a fantastic, rich variety of opportunities to learn more about my own skills, current and future goals and areas to develop to become not just a good leader but someone of value to a team of researchers. One of the principles of the programme is to create a peer support group made up of people at similar stages of their career. The group or cohort can share their own experiences in research development as well provide a supportive environment for each other for the future.
Within six months of my cohort meeting we supported each other on a research project that lead to a review paper being published in the BMJOpen journal. We are already planning our next collaboration and make time to speak to each other every 4 months via conference call. This also allows us to discuss any problems we have encountered and for the remaining group to offer support and advice. We hope to continue this for many years to come.
Dr Alistair Hay
My default position regarding leadership and management courses was to be sceptical. However, it was my rapidly growing management and leadership responsibilities, with an accompanying sense of 'being out of my depth', that provoked me to apply for a place on the 'Senior Cohort' in 2010.
For the past 3 years, we (eight like-minded clinical and non-clinical primary care academics from the UK, Norway, Australia and the Netherlands) have met annually for 3 days in Oxford. During this time we have built up sufficient trust for all of us to be 'vulnerable' to one another in a way that would be more difficult with 'within-institution' peers – despite the fact that four of us are from two institutions.
Each time we meet, we review the past 12 months and bring to the group a particular work related challenge. I have benefited most from the group's ideas and wisdom when I have been honest, and I have never felt anything other than confident in the group's decision to maintain confidentiality at all times.
As a result, I have:
- Approached some working relationships differently (for example, one that changed from being characterised as 'competitive' and 'tense' to being 'productive' and 'friendly')
- Felt more confident in discussing promotional issues with my home institution
- Realised that, however it may appear, most of us are challenged by aspects of our roles and leadership responsibilities – this is normal
Although I always wonder if the time will be productive, I always look forward to our meetings since I know that I will learn from everyone's (including my own) experience and I fully intend to continue meeting with my peer learning set for as long as possible.
Input from all members of Cohort 3
The International Leadership Programme has given us a unique opportunity to extend our professional networks and broaden our horizons, either through discussions in Oxford or by visiting other departments.
Being part of this excellent research network increases (young) researchers motivation in research and self-confidence in advancing their career, and is also a figurehead on the CV.
Our cohort is a safe place to reflect on our work, career progression and balance between personal life and work. We learned leadership skills to increase our personal effectiveness and to distinguish between signal and noise. The cohort offers a tremendous peer support in all of these aspects.
Dan Lasserson
The Leadership Programme has supported and developed my academic career far more than I had thought at the outset of the programme. The peer interaction, combining fresh thinking, critical insights and new collaborations, has had an energising effect on my research activity and career vision going forward. The collaboration forged in my cohort, with the empowering leadership training, has successfully developed a large multinational research project from a highly competitive funder and multiple studies will spin out from the core project. This will develop my skills in additional methodologies, and result in greater integrated research activity that can translate biomarkers to populations and how to best deliver primary healthcare. This would not have happened without the support and training from the Leadership Programme.

There can be no virtuous man
Who stops writing poetry
And stops telling the truth.
He does not lie, he does not cheat…
Is this all this sort manages?
This is how we stand, my brother, with this.
Even with fate's aid, you will go nowhere
Without a high-lived heated polemic.
If the poet be silent, he turns blue.
Like someone gasping for air —
With him all turns pale, choking…
To them he is the opening mouth.
What strange bible-quoting…
Epidemic! But empires fell
Not getting one breath of poetry.
How grotesque! And yet I sing (or echo?):
Those who don't cry out our truth
Will earn their suffocation.
Gyula Illyés (1902–1983) Hungary
Translated by David Zucker and Emöke B'Racz

Below is a brief introduction to the author, taken from the inside cover of one of the books. I just cannot describe it any better:
Phoebe Dunn was a world-renowned photographer known especially for her pictures of children and animals. Her timeless images, photographed in natural settings, using natural light, uniquely capture the interactions and relationships between children and their pets. A number of her books have been written by her daughter, Judy Dunn. For more than thirty years, Phoebe Dunn photographed the world as she knew it, capturing the feelings and relationships that make us all human.
The Little Duck was the first book in the series that I discovered. It was published in 1976. I don't remember where we got it from but it has been in our home library since my oldest son was a toddler. What a darling book it is. It tells the story of the life of a duck from little egg to adulthood. What stands out in these books is the photography. There are no illustrations, the story is completely told in real life photographs.
After enjoying The Little Duck for many years I discovered that there was an entire collection of these books. Being the book lover that I am and enjoying the book I already had, I knew I had to have the rest. My local mom-and-pop bookstore were able to order me the rest of the books. I was so excited to get brand new copies as my original book had been a second had copy and was pretty worn. Unfortunately they were not able to acquire for me a copy of The Little Duck. My next best alternative is to try to find a used/like new copy from an internet source.
I am so happy to have these books in my children's book collection to enjoy with my kids. If you love children's books as much as I do, I hope you will add these to your collection and enjoy them with a youngster in your life.

Kalamazoo College was founded in 1833 by a group of Baptist ministers as the Michigan and Huron Institute. Its charter was granted on April 22, 1833, the first school chartered by the Legislative Council of the Territory of Michigan. Instruction at the Institute began in fall 1836. In 1837, the name of the fledgling college was changed to the "Kalamazoo Literary Institute" and school officials made their first attempt to secure recognition as a college from the state of

opened the Kalamazoo Branch of the University of Michigan, providing a local competitor to the Literary Institute. In 1840, the two schools merged, and from 1840 to 1850 the College operated as the Kalamazoo Branch of the University of Michigan. In 1850, the Kalamazoo Literary Institute name was restored and in 1855 the school finally received an educational charter from the State of Michigan, establishing explicit recognition of the school as a college. After receiving its educational charter, the school changed its name to Kalamazoo College.
James Stone, the first president of Kalamazoo College, led the school from 1842 through 1863 and was responsible for instituting the high academic standards that allowed the College to receive its charter. Shortly after becoming president, Stone proposed the addition of a theological seminary to increase the supply of ministers in the region. With the support of the Baptist church, classes at the Kalamazoo Theological Seminary began in 1848 with 11 students. At the same time, the Female Department continued to expand under the watchful eye of Lucinda Hinsdale Stone. In 1845-46, almost half of the 90 students enrolled in Kalamazoo were women.
The Stones also played a role in the creation of the

, who served from 1954 to 1971. Hicks conceived of the "K Plan" program under which most Kalamazoo students spend at least one term abroad and spend at least one term working in an academic internship. As part of the original "K Plan," Kalamazoo College students could attend school year-round. One typical pattern was:
First year: Fall: On campus; Winter: On campus; Spring: On campus; Summer: Off
Sophomore Year: Fall: On campus; Winter: On campus; Spring: Career Development Internship; Summer: On campus
Junior year: Fall: Study Abroad; Winter: Study Abroad; Spring: On campus; Summer: On campus
Senior year: Fall: Senior Individualized Project; Winter: On campus; Spring: On campus
Variations to this schedule — such as spring-term study-abroad programs, full-year study-abroad programs, and winter SIPs — were also common. However, the college scrapped its summer term in 1996 due to the difficulty of attracting students to a year-round college.
Kalamazoo College is among the 100 oldest colleges and universities in the United States. It offers 28 majors spread across the fields of Fine Arts, Humanities, Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Physical Education, and Social Sciences. There are 11 unique interdisciplinary majors as well.
Students at Kalamazoo College must fulfill specific degree requirements in order to graduate. During the first term, students must enroll in a First-Year Seminar. Upon graduation, students must demonstrate a proficiency in a second language at an intermediate level and satisfy a quantitative reasoning requirement. There is a physical education requirement as well.
To facilitate a liberal arts education that emphasizes both disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas of study, students are required to take Shared Passages Seminars:
• First-year seminar - focuses on developing writing and communication skills
• Sophomore seminar - focuses on international experience in preparation of study abroad
• Senior seminar - focuses on disciplinary or interdisciplinary topics to cap a student's educational experience
The student-to-faculty ratio is 12:1. Ninety-five percent of Kalamazoo College's faculty have doctorates or terminal degrees in their fields.
On January 3, 2006, Kalamazoo College opened the new Upjohn Library Commons which includes the completely renovated skeleton of the older library, and an extension which adds to its volume capacity.
Kalamazoo College is an academic leader among national liberal arts colleges and emphasizes the importance of an experiential education. The academic plan — known as the "K plan" — consists of a rigorous liberal arts education supplemented by one or more terms abroad and internship opportunities during the summer. All students are required to complete a Senior Individualized Project (SIP), which may take the form of a thesis, an artistic performance, or any other work-intensive project of a student's choosing.
Kalamazoo College initiated the service-learning program in 1997. In 2001, Trustee Ronda Stryker dedicated to her grandmother the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Institute for Service Learning. This Institute was created to house several Service-Learning programs in the school. The current director of the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Institute is Alison Geist. In 2008, Kalamazoo College had twenty-three on-going service-learning programs. There are several courses in the college that incorporate service-learning into their curricula. The programs in service-learning include Community Advocates for Parents and Students; Helping Youth through Personal Empowerment; Academic Mentorship In Giants On-going Success; the Woodward School; Keeping the Doors Open; and Farms to K.
Study abroad
US News & World Report America's Best Colleges 2003 ranked Kalamazoo College's study-abroad program number one in the country. Nearly 85% of Kalamazoo College students spend at least one term abroad and the college maintains partnerships with over 50 foreign universities on six continents.

. With Olivet leading 70-69, Kalamazoo College center Kevin Baird made a shot at the buzzer that was initially waved off by referees. The referees reviewed videotape of the game and determined that Baird had, in fact, released his shot before the buzzer and then awarded Kalamazoo College a 71-70 victory. After the game, Olivet filed a protest with the conference commissioner, claiming that officials had misapplied the way in which videotape may be used. On January 23, the conference upheld the protest and awarded Olivet the victory. Kalamazoo then filed a protest with the NCAA, claiming that Olivet's protest was in violation of NCAA bylaws. On February 1, the NCAA upheld Kalamazoo's counter-protest and again awarded the game to the Hornets. The dispute between Olivet and Kalamazoo received national attention and Baird's shot was shown repeatedly on

Student life and traditions
Student organizations are one of the main sources of entertainment for the student body. They routinely bring in speakers as well as stage performances, dances, and movie showings.
During the fall quarter, there are two main events: Fall Fest and

dance. In Fall Fest, student organizations provide activities for the students, such as pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples.
During the winter quarter, the college holds the annual Monte Carlo night, on which the student body raises money by gambling in a makeshift casino where the professors are the dealers. They play for scrip redeemable for prizes.
Crystal Ball
Kaleidoscope (formerly known as the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Ally Student Organization, GLBTSO) hosts the Crystal Ball each spring. Crystal Ball is a college-sponsored dance in which attendees dress in drag or unusual costumes. A long-standing tradition at K College, this event was created to educate the campus about GLBT issues and celebrate the persons who make up the GLBT community. This very popular event features live music, dancing, and contests.
The Quad
The campus is built around a grassy hill known as "The Quad". The Quad is also the site of numerous large scale events throughout the year, including Homecoming, Spring Fling, Convocation, and Commencement. Furthermore, at the top of the hill lies Stetson Chapel, which is a favorite location for alumni wedding services. The Quad is home to another popular Kalamazoo College student tradition, "streaking the Quad", a noisy, late-night descent from the Chapel, down the hill, and back to the top again. Tradition dictates that students must touch the school sign before returning to the top. There is a mass-streak after the spring performance by Frelon, the Kalamazoo College dance group, and also during the day by the senior class. This often coincides with a wedding.
Day of Gracious Living
Since 1974, the college has upheld a springtime tradition of canceling all classes for a "Day of Gracious Living" (DOGL). While it was originally instituted (despite the Student Commission's rejection) as a day for students to relax and have fun, the 1980 Kalamazoo tornado prompted students to spend that year's DOGL helping clean up after the storm and giving back to their community. Many students enjoy the day at the North Beach in

Recycling program
Kalamazoo College has become a leading institution in the area of recycling and environmental awareness. A crew of student workers operates one of the nation's most successful recycling programs and organizes the school's participation in the annual RecycleMania event, a competition among over 400 colleges and universities across the United States. In 2005, Kalamazoo College came to national prominence with a 3rd-place finish in the Grand Champion category. While annually placing in the top 5 in a variety of categories, in 2008 Kalamazoo College placed 1st in both the Grand Champion and Stephen K Gaski Per Capita Classic competitions.
Kalamazoo College signed the President's Climate Commitment in 2007 and has completed a greenhouse gas emissions inventory. The college's Hicks Student Center is partially powered by wind and solar energy, and the student group D.I.R.T. (Digging in Renewable Turf) maintains an organic garden on campus. The spring 2009 Energy Sting competition encouraged students to reduce their energy consumption. Kalamazoo received a B on the 2010 College Sustainability Report Card.

Have you heard of the Mandela effect? It's a little freaky that so many people remember something that apparently never happened or was a different way. It's called the Mandela effect because it was in 2010 that people first noticed something weird is going on because they thought Mandela already died in 1991 in jail but he didn't die until 2013. I actually remember that time because when I heard about Nelson Mandela's death I thought he was already dead as well but I didn't really pay attention to it. Only now when I heard about this Mandela effect I remembered I was one of those people confused about his "second" death.
There's a lot of brands that people remember being spelled differently or characters being different and HERE are 100 examples for it. I don't know about some of the US brands but I do remember Kit Kat with a dash, Looney Toons with double "o", the famous quote from "I love Lucy", "Hello, Clarice" from Silence of the Lambs, Queen's "of the world" at the end of We are the champions song and Mona Lisa having a mysterious smile but definitely not a smirk she's sporting now-a days just to name a few. But what blew my mind is mirror, mirror on the wall from the Snow White. Apparently the stepmother never said it instead she said, magic mirror on the wall.
And these are not just things being changed by the companies or re-branding but they claim it's been like this all along and you cannot find any proof of it being the way you remember. Almost. People have found memorabilia that proves it being different and certain famous lines from the movies being spoken in other movies the way many people remember but the original claims otherwise.
HERE is a video that has proof of several Mandela effects being different in the past.
Another thing that actually freaked me out was the video of president Kennedy being shot. We all watched those videos and I never remember seeing his brains being blown out. Literally. HERE's a video if you want to refresh your memory. Also how did the car get 6 seats all of a sudden?
How do you remember these things?
