Nowadays, one of the most effective, popular, and free way to effectively market your company is through the use of social media. Are you looking for ways to grow your practice? If so, social media is the answer for you. Many chiropractic offices are using social media to promote awareness of their practice, get new patients in the door, and ultimately grow their business.
Social media is 100% worth your time educating yourself on and implementing in today's day in age where technology runs the world.
- Save money While Simultaneously Increasing Effectiveness. Social media is free. This reason alone is enough to be implementing it in some way, form or fashion. The negligence to use free marketing tools is a mistake you do not want to make. In addition to saving money, social media is an increasingly effective marketing tool as it has been proven to reach more people and work better than previously used Chiropractic marketing techniques. However, although social media is free, you must still take the time and resources to invest in creating a professional overall brand. This can be done with a customized, hi-res logo and a nicely done website.
- Get Your Information in the Right Hands Faster. Older forms of marketing, such as news paper or magazine ads or even radio ads, all require quite a bit of a process. First the information must be submitted, then approved, and then there is a waiting period until it goes into print or is aired. Once it is released, you are left to hope that it gets into the proper hands. With social media, you know that the marketing information is being released and seen immediately.
- Know Your Target Audience. Previously done chiropractic marketing techniques that were shown to be ineffective were this way largely in part that the information was untargeted and to too broad of an audience. With a little research and a few internet searches, you can customize your target audience. You will also be able to track and see who exactly is following you. The question of 'where is this information going?' will never be one to ask.
- Locate Feedback. You can easily monitor the perception others have of your practice, such as your current patient base, prospected patient base, and even your competitors by doing a search to see what people are saying. Search specific hashtags for quick feedback.

What is a Deductible?
A deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket when you have a claim. If you have a $500 collision deductible and have an accident, then you would pay $500 towards repairing your vehicle and your insurance would cover the rest.
The deductible you choose directly relates to the amount of money you spend on premiums each month. The higher the deductible ($250, $500 or $1,000), the lower your monthly cost.
So How Do You Choose?
Cheaper price or lower out-of-pocket expense?
First, look at your emergency savings. Do you have enough cash available to cover a higher deductible if you needed to pay it? If the answer is no, then you're better off paying a little extra each month.
Compare the cost savings. When we run a quote, we can show you several different options. Ask your agent to run the premium based on several different deductibles so you can see the actual dollar cost savings.
You can always change your mind. If you're short on cash now, but know you could afford more out-of-pocket next year, you're always able to change. Keep your deductible in a comfortable range and you'll always be well protected!

Hi all,
Wardrobe Essentials are very important to me as a stylist as I feel that in order to have a wardrobe that works well for you, you must first build a solid foundation by investing in key key pieces. I am not suggesting that you go out and buy each and every piece on the list but instead try and decide which pieces will best work for you. If you have any queries about any of the pieces or if you feel I have omitted any important piece I would love to hear from you. Have a lovely weekend.

MAYK was fortunate enough to experience two radically different international perspectives in October, taking Still House's Of Riders and Running Horses to Tbilisi in Georgia and travelling to Seoul in Korea as part of a delegation of UK organisations exploring potential cultural exchange opportunities in 2017/18.
The Tbilisi trip, part of Tbilisi International Theatre Festival, came about as a kind of precursor to a cultural programme in 2018, planned to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the twinning of Bristol and Tbilisi (who knew we were twinned with Tbilisi?). Eka Mazmishvili, the Artistic Director of the festival, had seen the show at caravan and rather than wait until 2018, decided to bring it over this year as the only UK show in the festival. The show took place at the far end of Agmashenebeli Avenue, one of the most beautiful and historic streets in the city. This was one of the few times Of Riders... has been presented in a public street and it made for an electric, if a little unpredictable, atmosphere. And there was some pretty magic dancing at the end of the show from the locals.
Arts Council England also supported a small delegation of Bristol cultural organisations to go on a kind of fact-finding mission (I was joined by Jo Bannon from Theatre Bristol, Ruth Hecht from Bristol Museums and Mike Tweddle from Tobacco Factory Theatres). As well as presenting Of Riders and Running Horses, we met with cultural organisations, visited some of the city's cultural destinations and attended an event hosted by the British Ambassador designed to encourage British business in Georgia.
And then on to Seoul, where PAMS (Performing Arts Market Seoul) was taking place (as a side note I really think it should be called Seoul Performing Arts Market, the acronym is much better) – a huge showcase of international performing arts. Alongside representatives from a range of organisations across the UK, we were hosted by the British Council in Korea and guided through a pretty intense few days of meetings, performances and showcases designed to give us a very well-rounded sense of what's happening now in South Korean performing arts.
I suppose the grass is always greener, but it felt like in Seoul, the government really understood the value of culture as a driver of regeneration/renewal. One of our most interesting afternoons was at the Seoul Street Arts Creation Centre, situated in an old water-purification plant a little out of the downtown area of the city. This place, which included a huge making space for circus/street arts, work-space and meeting rooms, seemed to be a hive of activity, and surely the kind of place that Bristol could benefit from. We also visited the exquisitely restored Culture Station, a vast labyrinth of rooms, studios and performance spaces situated in an old train station right in the heart of the city and right next to a disused railway line that will shortly become a Korean version of the High Line (one of my favourite examples of community-driven culture driving regeneration).
In both Tbilisi and Georgia, it felt particularly interesting being part of promoting UK culture abroad at a time when our own sense of who we are and how we perceived around the world is being fundamentally challenged. Incidentally, David Cameron's GREAT Britain campaign featured heavily in both locations, which feels increasingly at odds with an imploding sense of national identity, but hey.
Seeing a little girl come back two nights running to watch Of Riders and Running Horses and hardly being able to hold herself back from joining in at the end reminded me that whatever kind of existential meltdown our own countries might be going through, culture is still such a powerful way of coming together, sharing an experience and reminding ourselves that we're not all so different after all.

In the State of the Cure 2014 report, Diabecell was identified as one of the eight Practical Cure solutions in human clinical trials.
Diabecell, based in Auckland, New Zealand, is an islet cell transplantation approach which utilizes encapsulated insulin-producing porcine islet cells. The project completed Phase I human trials several years ago to inconclusive results and is expected to start Phase II/III early next year.
We look forward to the results, which we hope are more conclusive, and will share those findings with our readers when they are released. In the meantime, here are details about the project directly from Dr. Andrea Grant, who is the CEO of Diatranz Otsuka Limited.
Cara Murphy: How did you and your team get involved in type 1 diabetes research?
Dr. Andrea Grant: DIABECELL's genesis was in the research laboratories of Professor Bob Elliott way back in the '80s when he was working as a Professor of Pediatrics at Auckland Hospital. Many of the young people he treated were living with type I diabetes and seeing their struggle created a life long ambition to find a cure. Bob always believed that pig islet transplantation held the key. In the 1990s, Bob met David Collinson, a succesful entrepreneur who's son had type 1. David convinced Bob to move his research into a commercial setting and Living Cell Technologies was born. By 2011, LCT was a world leader with the only pig cell islet transplant product in clinical development. Seeing this, Ostuka Pharmaceutical Factory invested in the company forming Diatranz Otsuka Limited, a joint venture with LCT. Now we have a team of 65 dedicated people working hard at our head office in New Zealand to bring Diabecell to patients. A few of the team have been working on this goal with Bob since the very early days in the 80's. How's that for passion!
CM: Please describe to us non-scientists what DIABECELL does.
AG: It is a very simple concept. Type 1 diabetes results in a loss of islets which secrete the hormone insulin to regulate blood sugar. Currently, people with Type 1 have to replace this insulin with injections. Our approach is to replace the islets instead, by using pig islets. We do this by taking the pig islets from newborn piglets and placing them into the abdomen of someone with Type 1. One trick we have to stop the immune system attacking the pig cells is to protect them in a jelly-like, microscopic, capsule. This capsule lets all the nutrients the islets need in, lets the insulin out, but stops the immune system attacking and killing the pig islet cells.
So, by replacing the lost islets, we hope to achieve normal blood glucose control using the natural biology and without the person having to consciously control their glucose and insulin intake.
CM: How many years have you been on this journey and what keeps you going?
AG: Please see our answer to Question 1 for our history. What keeps us all going is the passion to really make a difference to the lives of people living with Type 1 diabetes and their families.
CM: What are 3 things about your project that you want the type 1 diabetes community to know?
AG: Although the concept of the treatment is simple, getting it through from research into the clinic and onto the market has been a herculean effort. We're pioneering a totally new approach to cell therapy, and when you're the first, you're also the first to learn where the wrong turns are and make the mistakes.
We're hopefully in the final stage now, and are preparing for a Phase 2/3 trial that should enable us to launch, initially in NZ.
It's an exciting time for people living with diabetes in the USA; as Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory have taken a license to develop DIABECELL in the US. So the US program for development will accelerate from here-on.
CM: If successful, how will it change the lives of people living with T1D?
AG: Of course our ultimate goal is to enable people living with T1D to be free of managing their glucose, exercise and insulin to stay well. Initially though, we expect DIABECELL will have the most significant benefit with those people who can't achieve "good" glucose control i.e the low HbA1c's that physicians want to see, without experiencing multiple hypos, some of them severe. That's pretty scary for a person with T1D and their family, and we're seeing DIABECELL as a really promising treatment to dramatically reduce these unaware hypos, whilst maintaining low HbA1c and by doing so, restore a better quality of life for people living with Type 1 diabetes.
CM: In what stage of human trials is Diabecell? When can we expect to learn the next set of results?
AG: We're building up to a Phase 2/3 trial in NZ, which we hope will enable us to obtain registration for the product in NZ.
CM: Are you still recruiting for the trial? If so, how can people get in touch with you?
AG: As the sponsor of the trial, we are not responsible for recruitment, so contacting us directly will not be fruitful. Instead, anyone who wishes to participate in any clinical trial should first review the website "clinicaltrials.gov" to see what trials in T1D are running in their country. They then should talk to their physician about their interest in participating in a trial, as their physician will be key in supporting and securing their participation. The physician will determine if the person is suitable candidate for the trial and will work with the principle investigators to see if the person can be recruited.
CM: What are the biggest obstacles your team faces?
AG: Please see first part of answer to Question 4.
CM: What can the type 1 diabetes community do to support your project?
AG: The type 1 diabetes community are amazing in the way they support research into their field, particularly through their philanthropic giving. For DOL and other research companies like us, I think the best thing that the community can do is continue to be willing to be pioneers themselves, by participating in the clinical trials. And be patient with us, know that whilst we're probably not going as fast as you wish we would, we are all getting up every morning and working our best to bring you a treatment that will make a world of difference.

Most migrants from Asia and Africa attribute the West's success to their mineral wealth (Australia and Canada), colonial exploitation (England and France) or imperialism (USA). Some mention "national unity" or "good/sincere leadership". Many reject even the notion of western superiority, speaking disapprovingly of its material progress and emphasizing instead the spiritual achievements of the East.
(Author's note: This article was published in the Daily Times, Lahore, on 27 April 2011, but appearing here for the first time.)
An educated, well-read female family friend living in Sydney recently spoke disparagingly about the Australian prime minister, Ms Julia Gillard, for having a hairdresser as her de facto husband. It set me thinking.
This matter was reported in a leading Australian newspaper in these words: "As Tim Mathieson stood proudly by Julia Gillard after she was sworn in as prime minister, a former colleague remembered him as 'a bubbly guy'. The manager of the hair salon where Ms Gillard met her partner and hairdresser says he was a fantastic person but one who kept to himself. Ms Grace Romanin said Ms Gillard used to come into the salon once a week but Mr. Mathieson never did her hair. 'That's how they met, in here,' she said. The pair started dating in March 2006." Ms Romanin added that Mr Mathieson, now the partner of the Australian prime minister, regularly drops in at the salon in Melbourne to say hello to former workmates.
Ms Julia Gillard is a lawyer by profession. She was a high ranking leader of the Australian Labour Party and a shadow minister when she began her relationship with Mr Mathieson. Ms Gillard became the deputy leader of the Opposition in December 2006, deputy prime minister a year later and prime minister in June 2010.
A few years ago, when Nathan Rees became premier of Australia's largest state (New South Wales), his biographical sketch published in the newspapers mentioned in a rather complimentary way that he had worked as a garbage collector to support himself at one point early in his career.
I sometimes hear my Pakistani and Indian friends living in the West speak disdainfully of those without university education or holding "blue-collar jobs". Chefs, hairdressers, plumbers, mechanics, painters, masons and the like are spoken of with barely concealed contempt.
Westerners, on the other hand, have no qualms on these matters. A professor will tell you that her husband is a plumber or a high official will reveal that he is married to a cook, a hairdresser or a nurse. A doctor has no shame in letting everyone know that his son-in-law is a painter, a handyman or a chef. My first introduction to this enlightened world of the West was when I found that a truck driver and a baker were the next-door neighbours of my American friend, himself a university professor in Kentucky.
The dignity of labour and the need to earn one's keep and place for oneself is taught from an early age. The teenage son of another American professor in Ohio distributed the local weekly papers in his neighbourhood to earn his pocket money. On some days when the boy was sick, the professor did the rounds on behalf of his son. His wife was also a university professor, they had money to spare and the young boy was their only child. He was much loved but not spoiled. Thus educated in the dignity of labour, he was the better for it.
Most migrants from Asia and Africa attribute the West's success to their mineral wealth (Australia and Canada), colonial exploitation (England and France) or imperialism (USA). Some mention "national unity" or "good/sincere leadership". Many reject even the notion of western superiority, speaking disapprovingly of its material progress and emphasizing instead the spiritual achievements of the East (Indians and Chinese) or the afterlife and the hereafter (Muslims). It is common to hear them berate Westerners for sexual promiscuity, lax morals, broken families, street crime and teenage delinquency.
I have rarely heard anyone mention the West's core values as the cause of its astounding progress in the last couple of centuries, particularly in the last half century or so. One of these values I have alluded to at the beginning of this article, namely, the dignity of man and the dignity of labour. From this follows another: equality before the law. And another: supremacy of the law and the constitution. These, I think, are the foundation stones of western society.
Anyone who has spent time in any western country cannot fail to be impressed that, as a rule, every individual is respected as a person and his or her rights are preserved and protected. Education, profession, wealth or pedigree do not confer on anyone any special rights before the law. On the contrary, the higher one's station in life the higher the expectations of honesty, integrity and probity.
A senior Australian judge recently went to jail for lying under oath in order to evade a $77 driving fine. On 20th March, Federal Court judge Marcus Einfeld was released from a Sydney jail on parole after serving a two-year sentence. For one more year he will have to routinely report to his parole officer to complete his three-year sentence. The former highly-respected Human Rights Commissioner was also stripped of his professional title of Queen's Counsel and his membership of the Order of Australia.
It is universally true that not everyone aspires to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer or accountant even if they were capable of becoming one. In the West, children are allowed to choose their fields of study or profession as they please and mostly people do what they want to do and what they enjoy doing. Teenagers are not pushed to achieve academic excellence at any cost. Forcing young people to choose careers against their will destroys creativity and initiative.
The fact is that not everyone is geared for academic excellence. Besides, it is not the only – nor even the best – measure of human worth. There is not much virtue in converting academic excellence towards a degree in medicine or law merely in order to get rich.
In any case, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity regardless of their academic excellence or professional attainment or lack of them. The western system values every citizen, rewards work, encourages compassion and allows people to choose and change their vocation and profession without fear of censure or scorn from family, peers or society at large.
As for the partnership between the prime minister of Australia and a hairdresser from Melbourne, it reveals another commendable aspect of Western society – marriage for love, not family ties, status or profit. For as long as it lasts, it should be a relationship based solely in mutual love and reciprocal respect.

Our Founder's Story
Driving past the well-worn light industrial buildings scattered around Union City, New Jersey, across the river from Manhattan, few people would realize that a new era of low-cost access to space is taking shape there, or that, quite possibly, the next Elon Musk is getting his start in one of those buildings.
On almost any afternoon, you can find Sihao Huang toiling away at a CNC machine, calibrating sensors on an orbital optical communication experiment or overseeing development of Aphelion Orbitals, Inc.'s ultra-low cost cubesat launch system. Over the past year and a half, Sihao, along with co-founders of the company, have steadily built a new space enterprise dedicated to democratizing access to space for commercial and scientific uses by anyone ranging from individual researchers to large organizations and government customers.
Today, Aphelion Orbitals has a small but fully-outfitted R&D and manufacturing facility in New Jersey capable of machining components for the company's Trailblazer and Fenyman launch vehicles that are in the design phase as well as complete satellite hardware for their Cassiopeia cubesat product line. As if that weren't enough for a high velocity startup to manage, in conjunction with the non-profit ARES Institute, Aphelion is currently deep in development of an optical communications experiment that will prove valuable for future Low Earth Orbit and deep-space cubesat missions requiring high data rate communications.
What is remarkable is the fact that Sihao is 17 years old but is already CEO at Aphelion. With his family's support, he emigrated from China to the United States in 2014 to pursue his dream and driving passion to open up space to all of humanity.
"Coming here was solely my decision," said Sihao. "I've been adrift since I was 3. Up till 2014 I've moved 13 times; lived in 4 cities across 3 different countries. I never felt grounded in a safety net and I've always wanted to do something big. "
Sihao settled in New York City along with his parents, who moved to the U.S. so he could pursue his dreams, and is now a permanent resident on his way to becoming a naturalized citizen. It's a long journey from growing up in Asia, where he still returns each year to see his grandfather and family. But always, his focus is on the core passion that drives him.
"I set my mind on the most absurd thing that I was able to think of: to put a satellite in orbit, from beginning to end," he explained as to the origins of his vision that has become Aphelion Orbitals. "And that was the purpose of my new life. I was quick to realize that I was going need more than knowledge and a lab."
"In one month I started reading ferociously into dozens of fields, from project management to business structuring to spacecraft system design. Then slowly the team came together. Together we built that dream into a viable business case."
In early 2016, Aphelion Orbitals was formally organized in New York. In the spring of 2017, the company reorganized and incorporated in Florida, "the world's premiere gateway to space."
Sihao is one of those rare examples of someone who, from early on, develops a passion in life and has both the support and opportunity to pursue it, not to mention a 24-hour a day drive to see those dreams come to fruition. His motivation comes from his grandfather and first mentor who introduced him to the world of engineering.
"My grandfather has been an inspiration for me since I was little," Sihao said in an emotional recollection of his childhood with family in Asia. "When I barely knew how to speak, he started giving me lectures on engineering. We'd sit in front of a table the whole night and he'd take a stack of blank paper and start drawing. At first I watched him blankly, but until today I remember the nights when we'd sit together and talk about radios, bridges, material, and rockets."
"It was his childhood dream to be a part of humanity's first steps to space. His family was torn apart by war... That dream was extinguished in him, and I realized that I, myself, had to carry it on. I wanted to launch something into orbit and I wanted him to be alive to see it."
Today, that dream is alive at Aphelion with a team is comprised of seven individuals, each possessing unique talents and experience that span technology and aerospace fields. It is continually adding new talent while staying true to the goal of remaining a small, agile and fast-paced team. Currently, the Trailblazer suborbital rocket is nearing its critical design review and on track for a first launch in early 2018. Meanwhile, the foundational design process for Aphelion's liquid-oxygen and methane powered Feynman dedicated cubesat launcher is progressing steadily. This fall, the company's first engine built entirely in-house will be on the stand for its first test firing.
Funding has come from internal sources, of course, and also a $500,000 Seed funding round that was successfully closed by Sihao last summer and has placed Aphelion in a good position to complete major development milestones for the coming year. Meanwhile, the company is actively seeking outside investment in order to accelerate and complete development of the launch systems and bring them to market.
While all of this is taking place, which is possibly more work than most traditional CEOs would be willing to take on, Sihao is still pursuing his education. He has won numerous awards in math and science in China, Singapore and the U.S. and consistently ranks at the top of his class with a near-perfect record despite the fact that he is an entrepreneur managing and growing a newspace startup company. One worry he probably doesn't need to have: nearly every, if not every, university in the country will be happy to enroll him to their family.
There is probably no higher-risk venture to undertake than one in the space industry. To some that may be magnified by the singular unique characteristics of Aphelion Orbitals, Inc. and its founding team, especially Sihao Huang. But if the past year is any indication of future events, that future looks very bright for Sihao and the entire team and, in the end, the entire world will benefit.

Dutch subtitles. Warning: Contains nudity. Do not watch if you are allergic to naked people.
La Puta y La Ballena (The Whore and the Whale)Made in: Spain, ArgentinaLanguage: SpanishDirector: Luis PuenzoStarring: Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Mercé Llorens, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Pep Munné, Miguel Ángel SoláYear: 2004
Synopsis: Vera (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) is a writer who's diagnosed with breast cancer. She comes across some letters written by Emilio (Leonardo Sbaraglia), an Argentine man who was killed during the Spanish Civil War while fighting for the Republican side.
The letters detail a love affair between Emilio and Lola (Mercé Llorens), a chorus girl from Barcelona with a habit of getting naked a lot.
Becoming more and more obsessed with their story, Vera travels to Argentina to further uncover details of the tragic lovers. Along the way, she finds that her life bears a number of striking parallels with Lola's.
And like Lola, Vera finds frequent (and lame) excuses to get naked.
The Good: There's a pretty nice tango song included on the soundtrack. Also, the nature shots of Patagonia are beautiful.
The Bad: And that's about it.
La Puta y La Ballena is a boring, highly pretentious film full of contrived circumstances and melodrama. The nudity, which is as abundant as it is pointless, almost becomes embarrassing to watch after a while.
And the tango dancing Borat look-alike quickly became a distraction, too
The characters played by Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and Mercé Llorens pretty much go around having sex with all the other characters in every other scene (except the whale, probably because there might be laws against that sort of thing).
I guess all this is supposed to make the film daring, but it comes across like a series of jokes that repeatedly fall flat.
And the dialogue is pretty awful too. Sprinkled throughout every scene are what we're supposed to accept as deep, philosophical musings. But since they don't reference themes that actually have anything to do with the movie, it comes across as incoherent hipster-like BS. And there's a good two hours of that nonsense to get through.
The tango dancing wasn't too bad, I must admit, but director Luis Puenzo seems to reinforce the persistent and long discredited myth that tango was often danced in brothels during the 1940s. You'd think that, seeing that the film was made mostly in Argentina, that someone involved in the filmmaking process would have done their research.
But who's got time to do research when there's so much T & A to film?
La Puta y La Ballena is an overlong, self-important piece trying waaaaay too hard to be artistic and poignant. This is exactly the kind of foreign films that people would think of when they tell you they don't like watching foreign films.

"If we confuse history with nature, always comes only evil out there – if you biologized, naturalized, if you squint along racial and biological sex and by the law of the jungle and stuff, instead of the only salvation potential, the whole in the People mess can be representational of reason.
I like artificial, it is the best case of the marriage of reason and art, so I'll take her one thing that is the embodiment of nature. the wild animals, and how to replace their grades together, as they come and go, evolution -. and turn it into a task in Triangulationsfeld of science, technology, art
My animals are called in the book Gente, simply 'people', are so clever, so determined to live their own history and Write as I would have liked the people. "
(Dietmar Dath)
The era of boredom is over, people there are almost no more and the biological species are abolished. Dietmar Dath novel is set 500 years in the future, after the liberation, in a world where speaking and intelligent animals who have managed the Gente, the transition of the evolution of natural history to layout history.
Capable of continuous transformation, they decide in which animal form they occur and with what type they maintain sexual intercourse. Telepathic communication works on odors and forums space spread across the news and discussions. In the three labyrinthine cities Landers, Kapseits and Borbruck are the few people that still exist, the new civilization subject or last to be attacked species.
Political negotiations make the dragonfly Philomena and the bat Izquierda, military action plans Dachsin Georgescu, banking controls the fox Ryuneke, art deals with issues of stuttering ass Storikal, research projects run the pike Westfahl and the pork barrel Herbert ransom and diplomatic trips being taken by the young wolf Dmitri Stepanovich. This is all in the service of the Lion: Cyrus Iemelian Adrian Golden Vinicius. He's aura and ideological rulers and is precisely why vulnerable. On the old continent of America is opposed him the power of Keramikaner, being between Gente and machinery, Katahomenleandraleal led, provoked internal political divisions in the Gente and a huge war scenario.
Civilization of Gente is destroyed, under the leadership of the daughter of the lion , LASARA manages only a few of the Exodus on Venus and Mars. The two planets where the newcomers must first conquer their habitats are home and workplace of the next generation of Gente, which remembers this only through traditional stories and legends.
Two descendants, the lizard Padmasambhava and the prince fire will be prepared for the mission , explore the remains of the previous population in the world and there zueinanderzufinden. The sexes walking and finally as siblings encountering, the two end up in a kind of paradise, where the time has stopped and historical or evolutionary cycles are broken.
Dietmar Dath novel, The Abolition of the Species in 2008 is a hybrid: fables, Science fiction, utopian novel, postmodern thought experiment, philosophical scenario. In the tradition of Plato, Thomas More, Arno Schmidt, George Orwell, HG Wells, etc. spreads Dath from a universe that is populated by innumerable and unfathomable characters, the plot branches out unmanageable and in which he imaginatively and politically at the same time the question to be tackled, why man has abolished itself and destroys its environment.
In good dialectical fashion, he speculated that a post-human society could be peaceful and more just. Characterized by a poetic and academic, poetic and scientific areas, such cryptic language simultaneously fascinated and overwhelmed the Roman readers and polarized his critics. The 12-part audio adaptation of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, directed by Ulrich lamps and with the sound of mouse on mars makes the dazzling characters eloquence of the text, the opulent sound-musical dimension of the novel and the political commitment of the author acoustical experience.

text: In the past decade, our understanding of the biochemistry, molecular biology, and neuropathology of the glutamate transporters and receptors has exploded. It is becoming increasingly evident that molecular mechanisms, which govern the transfer of the death signal from the neural cell surface to the nucleus, depend on lipid mediators and on cross talk among excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, and that interactions among these three processes play a major role in neuronal cell death during acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative disease. These processes may be primary initiating points in neurodegeneration or they may be the end result of the neurodegenerative process itself. Neurochemical Aspects of Excitotoxicity provides extensive insight into glutamate transporters and receptors, including their role in the brain with other neurochemical parameters in excitotoxicity, and possible treatments. This book will be of interest scientists already working in the field of excitotoxicity who are interested in gaining a broader understanding of this complicated subject area, as well as graduate students and neurologists who are curious about a common cause of neuronal injury and neurological disorders.

European Destination Marketers Optimize Digital Performance with Online Shopping Intelligence
nSight Partners with Digital Tourism Think Tank on Initiative for Tourism Boards
NASHVILLE AND LONDON – November 25, 2014 – nSight, the leader in online consumer shopping intelligence for the travel industry, is partnering with Digital Tourism Think Tank (DTTT) on a new initiative that will enable European destinations organizations to manage their digital environment more proactively using forward-looking consumer travel intelligence. nSight's predictive analytics for destinations was introduced last week in Barcelona at the Digital Tourism Innovation Campus, DTTT's annual flagship event for national, city and regional tourist boards.
With offices in London and Brussels, DTTT provides a platform for thought leadership in digital marketing best practices for the global tourism industry through digital initiatives and creative solutions including events, expert testimony and marketing innovation.
"Digital Tourism Think Tank is a natural partner for nSight," said Jami Timmons, president and chief product officer of nSight for Travel. "With 148 million travel bookings made online this year, digital is top of mind with destinations and DTTT is the premier community where European destination marketers and digital pioneers go to share experiences, validate new technologies and learn how to grow tourism online."
nSight offers an unprecedented view of online travel based on the world's largest database of active travel shoppers. Its platform captures more than 80 million searches and bookings for destinations and hotels daily across 5,000 third-party travel websites, providing robust consumer insights on geography, demographics and search behavior.
"We're excited to be working with nSight," said Nick Hall, founder and CEO the DTTT. "nSight goes beyond providing consumer insight to uniquely enable users to act on data to increase online bookings on direct and third-party channels.

In the spring of 2015, Professor Elizabeth Stone taught a course on creative nonfiction writing at Fordham College at Lincoln Center. Though nearly an entire semester has elapsed since the class's last official meeting, her students have remained in contact as they've worked together to create "W0RD$", a class zine led by the efforts of FCLC senior, Sophia Venditti.
Vendetti, who will be graduating with a major in Communications and New Media and minor in Psychology, praised Stone and her classmates for fostering an ideal space for workshopping their pieces.
"It was small, and the Socratic seminar style in which it was held, along with the chemistry of all our personalities and everyone's honesty created a really special environment of trust. The result were some extraordinary pieces. Dr. Stone would give us a very loose prompt, and we had the freedom to take it and do whatever we wanted. This allowed for us to really write any story that was inside us--and we wrote about our families, our partners, friends, heartache, happiness...there was a bit of everything in this class, and that is what made it so exceptional."
With inspiration from her classmates' work and encouragement from Stone, Vendetti decided that she wanted others outside of class to be able to read the works that they had produced. She used her experience as Editor in Chief of her high school literary magazine and her knowledge as an avid reader of zines to put together "W0RD$".
"I ran my idea of making a zine by Dr. Stone, after she had mentioned that people really should read our work outside the class. Then I presented it to the class, and anyone who wanted to send me pieces--or other art, Jess Luszczyk contributed both writing and photography--could. I received work from nearly everyone, and from there assembled it in a flow I felt worked all the way though. Jess provided photos she paired with pieces, and it all came together in an amazingly special way. I'm thrilled people will be able to read these works, and want to thank everyone who contributed and supported this work."

From the time we come into the world till the time we grow old, we meet countless number of people, we develop bonds, some inseparable ones that last a lifetime. But more often than not, we fail to express our sentiments to our dear ones and things are often left unsaid.
It is this time when the need to present our loved ones, with some memorable gifts like a bunch of beautiful roses, chocolates, teddy bears, sweets etc. arises in order to express that special feeling we have for them.
But when they live in a distant city, it undoubtedly, becomes difficult to convey our emotions to them. While we remain stuck in the daily chaos of the world, hopping from one florist shop to another to find a satisfyingly fresh bunch of flowers and have it delivered to our loved ones is a tough thing to even think of. Besides, delayed delivery has now become a frequent issue that we have to bear with unwillingly.
Now, with online flower delivery store Floweraura, you can order flowers and other gifts but it is a florist with a difference that understands the worth of each gift and every emotion. They are renowned and reliable for their timely delivery having flower delivery centers across 170+ cities in India.
This company, headquartered in Gurgaon has set a new record by increasing their delivery centers from 250 to 500 within 1 year.
When they first started their journey 6 years back, they were limited to merely 50 cities only but with time, they have immensely expanded with Mumbai having the maximum delivery center of 20 and both Delhi and Bangalore stand with 15 delivery centers each.
Undoubtedly, another major problem we face most of the time in India while placing an order is, when the area we need our gift to be delivered comes under the non-delivery zone.
But with such huge expansion in delivery centers, you can expect your order from Floweraura to be delivered within 4 – 6 hours of placing the order and also to even the remotest corners of India.
With the hassle free delivery service, Floweraura strongly believes in the customer-centric approach, which is the only reason behind its popularity as the provider of top notch flower delivery in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and all other cities.
It has an extensive collection of beautiful flowers and additional gift collections like personal message cards, cakes, teddy bears, chocolates and sweets to choose from.
No matter how far the person you want to present that fresh and beautiful bunch of carnations to lives, Floweraura will help you to deliver it right on time with Same Day Delivery or even the Midnight Flower and Cake Delivery option.
With superbly convenient delivery service and unmatched choices of gifts, you can hardly say no to Floweraura. Also, the coupons and ongoing offers they provide to their customers add that extra advantage of affordability, which you cannot resist having.
For any occasion, any gift or delivery to anywhere in India, Floweraura is certainly the best online gift portal to trust on.

History: Roland was born the oldest, and he has always lived like it. Even when his parents had the moisture farm he walked around like it was his and everyone had to listen to him. He especially treated his younger sister like he was the boss and she was not. Roland likely annoyed her with his behavior, but he knew why was best after all.
Most days he spent working, learning, and learning to fly. Roland was determined to be the best pilot ever, and it was not a difficult goal. Flying came natural to him for some reason. He pursued it even harder after the death of his parents. The tragedy made him even more the oldest than he wanted to recall being. Rune was all he had left of his family, and he would be damned if he lost her too.
This led to him being an overprotective brother. They worked hard to get the credits they needed to get off the planet, Roland resorting to bare knuckle boxing for extra credits. Once they had enough to get out of the Outer Rim the two were off to the New Republic where Roland enlisted as a pilot.
The continuing conflict saw Roland losing many friends, which he internalized. Rune was likely the only one who knew he was hurting. It made life hard, but as long as they still had each other, the two would be fine. Roland was convinced of it.
RP Sample:
1900 hours, time for a run. Autumn was setting in which meant daylight was becomming a scarce commodity. With an hour before sunset, Kenobi wanted to be sure his run was complete by the time it was dark outside. He would take a quick shower, and hit one of the many clubs the beach had to offer. The night life was great, and Roland loved it. For now though a run on the beach was what he needed.
Why the beach? First, he lived on it. Secondly, where there was sun, there were babes in revealing attire. With the sun still out there was a view to be enjoyed, one which Roland enjoyed very much. One could say he was objectifying women, but they were doing the same to him. He did not miss the hungry looks some gave him as he ran past them in his white t-shirt and black track pants on his way to this turning point.
The little shack of a bar two miles from the beach house he called home was where Roland always grabbed a bottle of water. He would get the water, hydrate, and run back. He did his best to drink before he was thirsty, as waiting until he was meant it was too late. Usually he would keep running, but tonight he noticed something a bit peculiar. A very pretty, and very familiar, brunette was sitting alone with a bottle of Whyrens and glasses for two. The problem was only one glass had something in it, and the chair across from her was empty.
Had she been stood up? The brunette was seriously too gorgeous for that. Seriously who would do such a thing. It was a shame. Why Ro would just hop right on over and be a gentleman. The kind that consoled pretty women who had just been had a by a jerk.
"This seat taken," he asked as he proceeded to sit down anyway. "Seriously, a no show?"
Is your username your character's first and last name capitalized? (If no, place request to fix it here): Yes

text: Comic books, cartoons and science fiction are vastly underestimated. While most adults may consider it a "waste of time", they have a profound impact on children either in the form of a refuge or inspiration for later years. Artist Andrew Binder took those influences and translated them into art. Drawing from an early age, he progressed into analogue photography and upon discovering digital realised the possibilities of incorporating it with his previous love of drawing and painting. His works reflect the same, combining elements of digital painting and photo-manipulation with traditional painting, drawing and 3D rendering to name a few.

It took me a little while to create this video but it's okay because I was learning in the process by switching to adobe premiere and had actually come up with a concept for this video.
2016 was definitely a crazy year. It was full of sooooooo much change but it also had it's amazing moments. I feel like it was the year I finally took charge of my life and started to make moves (literally) haha.
I started off the year buying myself a brand new car so it was my first big girl purchase. In February, I went to Hawaii with a group of friends which was such an adventure and a lifetime memory I'll never forget. I've been to Hawaii many times before but this was the first time I went with friends. I visited a farm and got to ride in the back of a truck for the first time which was so fun! The way my hair blew in the wind as I took in amazing sights reminds me of this freedom of youth that I'll always cherish.
In May, I graduated from college which was the biggest milestone of my life. I never thought the day would come but there I was walking across that stage. My last semester leading up to that point was also very life changing. I had the greatest professors who have taught me a lot. I realized that I'm extremely fascinated by non-traditional forms of therapy and created a senior video project that I'm super proud of.
In July, I went to Chicago for the first time with Earl. I absolutely fell in love with that city. I won't go into much detail because I'm about to post a blog about it.
August, I went back to Hawaii with my family. It's always such a nice time with them and even though I've been there many times before I feel like it never gets old. We've been there 8 times already together and during this particularly trip we went to places we wouldn't normally such as Tantalus lookout and The Byodo Temple. It was also a bittersweet and emotional trip because when we got back I would be moving to a new city the next day. It was a hard time for me and I held in a lot of the emotion. I began to become fearful for my future ahead and aching to hold onto the moments Hawaii has filled me with. Hawaii is so nostalgic for me and my family because it was our first real trip together and because my sister and I were so small when we first went. So Hawaii will always have a special place in my heart!
When we arrived home, the next day I packed up my car and moved to Los Angeles and the following day I started a new job. The first few weeks were extremely rough and I was an emotional mess. It was hard to get adjusted and used to everything but as time went on it got easier, though I still find myself in an emotional wreck sometimes.
September is my birthday month! On my birthday, we had our first official Make Life Count, Co. trip to Yosemite. It was exhausting and there were a lot of bumps in the road but it was a learning experience and a valuable one at that.
At the end of the month, me and Earl took a spontaneous trip to Chicago to go to Chance The Rapper's Magnificent Coloring Day. We flew late Friday night and arrived in Chicago at 4am. We found an empty and semi-secluded bench to take a nap on. Then around 8 we woke up, found a gym and paid $20 to take a shower. From there, we had to jump on the train and make an hour trip to our Airbnb to the Southside. We dropped off our stuff and headed off to the festival. Kanye surprised us that day by coming out onto the stage. Earl impulsively rushed the stage along with many other crazed fans. I, of course was not going to be left out and decided to run as well. Once I got there I realized there was no way I was going to find him. After some crazy events, we finally found each other and made our way back up hand in hand. A few days later, I spotted us on a video and behind us noticed that someone got taken down. It's crazy because that moment we felt so invincible and unstoppable but little did we know that someone behind us quickly lost that feeling. It was a quick and crazy 30 hour trip but definitely one for the books.
October-December was pretty mellow and was thankfully filled with family time. I was able to go home to San Diego and work remote the week of Thanksgiving as well as Christmas. I also got to see my girls/sisters all in the same room for the first time in a year. It's crazy that we hardly ever get to all be together because well ...adulting.
I'm thankful for the great chapter that 2016 was but I am ready for what 2017 has in store. After all, it's my year. The year of the rooster.

Reviewed Pictures
Some visitors write recensions on my work. Thanks a lot to all of them. Here are some reviews...
Seabird86 wrote on deviantArt:
In my opinion this photo is close to perfection, poetic vision of an idea of beauty, in which all the contradictions of reality find a meaning.
First of all, the model: she is amazing, natural and full of an incredible sensuality, in spite of the pureness of the compositon, where physical elements are just a little showed. Secondly, the vision of space, so dynamic, so fresh. In addition, the lines of the composition are clean and stunning. There is an idea of dynamic balance, increased also by impeccable focus, texture, choice of colours, but also the power of details.
Kristin´s Technique for Changing her Top
Bodharan wrote on deviantArt:
"On his website, Val Mont characterizes his photos as "sensual images of bewitchingly pretty girls". And I think that is accurate - the girls are pretty and the images capture their natural beauty. But the photos are more than pretty pictures of pretty people. They have personality; they have character. So many of his photos are full of the joy of life. They capture the delight of everyday moments - a girl pausing on her hike to take in a scenic view, a girl changing her skirt in a car before rushing off to meet her friends. These are personal, happy moments, moments that engender happiness in their viewers. They make us smile.
So it is with this photo. Here we have a pretty girl showing off her technique for changing her top without revealing anything essential. Her smile makes clear that she is having fun, teasing her viewers, and maybe just a little excited herself about being in such open surroundings while momentarily bare from the waist up. Her fun is contagious. Her modesty is endearing."
Kristin´s picture is from her "Alpine Veranda" sets on girls-mag.de

There's an old man in my apartment complex who I usually meet when I'm in the laundry room. His name is Jeff and he's very hard of hearing so my side of the conversations tend to be extremely loud. The topic is always the same: Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. Because I learned early on in my nine years here that Jeff has been a theatre-goer since a child, as have I, the subject is always "Have you seen _____?"
Just outside the laundry room one morning in a loud voice I agreed with his favorable review of "Therese Raquin." I think my neighbors with their windows open might have heard my own review of the acting, the script, the sets and the music. Despite a less-than-stellar New York Times review, both Jeff and I agreed it was a marvelous show.
Although Jeff uses a cane, it doesn't stop him from getting on the bus sometimes three days a week for the ride into Manhattan. Jeff once told me that he used to review shows for broadcast at Lincoln Center. Or was it that he read newspaper reviews for recordings? Regardless, Jeff knows his theatre.
I will never be able to match the number of shows he sees each year (although I have sixteen binders of Playbills dating back to 1952), it is nice to chat and share opinions.

Jeff's wife works at my public library but I hadn't met her until a few weeks ago when she overheard me telling someone where I lived. When I mentioned to her how much I enjoyed meeting Jeff in the laundry room and sharing theatre experiences, she remarked, humorously (I hope), that I'd better not get any ideas! No, lady, not to worry!
By chance I happened to see Jeff at Lincoln Center recently when I was there for "The King and I." Jeff said he was there to work. But please don't mention this accidental meeting if you're in the library.

During this continuing journey I've had to face a number personal hangups about things (big and small) that I have had to decide if they were real issues or just another step towards that "bigger world". Things like "do you have to be baptized to participate in the Lord's Supper?" and other much more trivial things...
When I first started attending my new Church (Pinedale Christian Church) I was confronted with a term that I was very familiar with being used in a new way - for me. When people at Pinedale referred to the "auditorium" they often called it the "Sanctuary"...my first thought was..."how odd". I mean here is what is basically an "Instrumental-Progressive-Church of Christ-that changed their name", a Church that under the stuff that gave many of my former "pew-mates" the willies was the same - but calling thier auditorium a SANCTUARY?!? I was confused...
Why would such a little thing as a word make such a big deal to me? Well, first of all, it wasn't that big of a deal, just...confusing... Wikipedia states that a Sanctuary is "the consecrated area of a church or temple around its tabernacle or altar" - which is exactly how I understood the term. Some of you may be scratching your head right now and asking yourself what the problem is...well it's simple. All of my life, including this moment, I stongly believe that a Church building is just that...a building that a body of believers has decided to use for God's work, to promote community and regularly worship in. That building could just as easily be an old warehouse, a tent, a home, a theater or town's square. Putting any holy designation at all to the building is giving it a higher designation that it does not deserve.
When Christ came, died and rose again he brought with Him a new covenant:
For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! 2 Corinthians 3:10,11
This new covenant discarded the old covenant that had God at a distance from us and brought Him to our homes, our streets, workplaces, parks and yes, our Church buildings, but none of these places are more holy than another. The "alter" we refer to when coming forward during our time of public worship is a place between God and His child - it can happen anywhere!
So, yes, I give a Church auditorium no special, holy distinction because it has none.
An alternate definition of "sanctuary" is "place of refuge" or "a reserved area in which birds and other animals, especially wild animals, are protected from hunting or molestation". When I think of my Church being a "sanctuary", this is what I think of..."my safe place". As a teenager and young adult, my Church family saved my life...they looked after me, loved me for me, cared for me and protected me...so, my "sanctuary" IS the Church and when I am with my brothers and sisters, especially in the building we worship in, I feel safe, protected and loved. It's the place where the rest of the world vanishes for a time and I can feel safe and closer to God.
That is MY SANCTUARY...

Stay With Me got, by my count, four starred reviews, and I'm sure it will be (well, is already, since it's out!) a hit with teen readers, too. I think it earned those stars, and I believe it will circulate well and be well-loved by lots and lots of teens.
It's a Way 3 read for me (though I'll admit, I'm not totally wild about it personally, it's more that I cannot wait to hand it off to teens and would love to hear their thoughts). This is a book that doesn't quite stand up to the close scrutiny of Printz-magnifying glasses, I think.
Mack and Cece are our star-crossed (yes, this is a Romeo and Juliet type story) lovers. They both live in dire, sometimes desperate, circumstances in a big city (it all feels fairly NYCish, but the city is very carefully not named). Cece is a diligent student; Mack is a high school dropout. Cece takes care of her alcoholic mother; Mack avoids his abusive, alcoholic father. Until they get together, Cece dreams of acing the Gifted and Talented test that will get her into a kick ass high school, and Mack rescues and rehabilitates fighting dogs. It's love at first sight between the two, except that something goes terribly, tragically wrong.
What is right about this, what I think is the best part: Mack's voice. Griffin has created a memorable, heart breaking character and Mack's sensitivity and uncertainty and creativity all ring true in his chapters (the novel alternates between Cece's and Mack's voices). When Mack describes what's going on with his dog rescues, his character's passion and enthusiasm comes through. He thinks things like, "The sky is a mist with the stars trying to poke through, like a razor rash on God's gray face." Swoon, went the teenage girl inside of me.
Mack's voice is so strong and so personal, that it took me a while to realize that things weren't quite adding up for me. However, I am not sure that the rest of the novel quite lives up to his half.
Cece's portions are solid but she's never quite as memorable as Mack. Maybe it's because she's meant to be more intellectual, maybe it's because she's less alone and lonely and doomed, but her half doesn't feel as personal as Mack's half. On the whole, Cece just doesn't grow as much as Mack. She gets over him, she learns that she's tough, but it's just so outside, so impersonal. Mack's journey is all raw feelings and heart and hers…is about getting over a boy.
(And, this is probably quite personal and rather nitpicky, but, well, I just don't believe that her first time having sex is quite so splendorific and full of fireworks. While Griffin did an amazing job of describing the feelings of first love, Cece's first sex was a little hard for me to believe.)
The supporting characters are mostly sympathetic but they pretty much all serve a single purpose which is to talk to Mack and Cece about, well, Mack and Cece. I'd have loved to read a little more dialogue from Marcy and Cece, for example, that wasn't about Mack. And Tony might have been a little more believable if he had time to be a little less perfect (star quarterback? Super popular? Scholarships? Army hero?). Vic's presence is very comforting, and his understanding and empathy for his chosen family is touching, but that's really the only side of him we see.
Cece's relationship with her mother is really the second most fleshed out relationship in the book (and, after I'm done reading, it's the most interesting to me to think about). Carmella is such a flawed but loveable mother; the way they take care of each other (with, yes, Cece doing the lion's share of taking care) as best they can is touching.
I'm trying to keep this short (under 1000 words, yo!), so let me summarize. Four starred reviews — yes, this novel totally earns them for the emotional punch Griffin packs and for Mack's heartbreaking voice. A fantastic read for teens, one I can't wait to get back to work and start recommending and booktalking — yes. A deserving nomination for BFYA — yes. But I don't see this one walking away with a gold or silver sticker. I'm curious to hear what you guys have to say, though; comments are open!

You get what you deserve. You don't get what you want.
The crouched position is not very important in wicketkeeping; it's the one where you come out of the crouch that's important. That's hard to maintain for long periods because you need leg strength and you need to make sure you're not putting too much stress on your back.
A little essay about driving in India
It's that time of year when foreign tourists flood into India. These days, many choose to drive on the roads.Indian road safety;
Here is a little essay about driving in rural India that I've been working on.
I'm not going to say too much about the operation of the vehicle; I'm going to assume you already know about that.
But a couple of things about riding Enfield motorcycles;
They have the brake on the other side than most people are used to. GET USED TO IT!
I find keeping a toe on the brake pedal for the first day or two gets me straight.Also, you will be driving on the left side of the road; for those for whom this is new, you'll have to keep it on top of your consciousness for the first week or so.
This is your mantra, the most important thing you need to know about life and living. Repeat this in your mind as you drive; LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT.
As you say this to yourself, concentrate on your left hand.
I'm not joking, this can save your life. Other vehicles;
Under Indian road rules, when 2 vehicles approach a level crossing simultaneously, the vehicle on the right has right of way.
That's just great as long as you know that the guy approaching on your left has no idea of this.
Generally speaking, everyone just slows down and waves each other through. Make no assumptions though! Sometimes [often] cars, busses, scooters, bicycles, will just barrel ass straight on through, possibly after a brief toot on the horn to let the world know.
Reality; larger vehicle has right of way. Expect vehicles to shoot intersections.Pedestrians; especially in the middle of the day, pedestrians can be erratic. It's hot out there, and he/she may have been at work since dawn. Do not assume they hear you and know you're coming; in India, it's polite to give a short beep on the horn to be sure.
I find that the people who are likely to be walking on the roadside [i.e. poor people] have great faith in god and vehicle drivers. They usually have more faith in me than I have; I wish they would turn to look or step off the road as I pass [in a large bus]. But they usually don't. A big horn is good for everyone.Animals; especially dangerous to bikes, but cattle in the road will do harm to anything less than a military truck if you hit one.Pigs are the most dangerous for bikes in my opinion. Remember this and you might keep your tires [tyres?] down; if a pig starts running parallel to you, get on your brakes as hard as you can. The swine will break suddenly and cut across your path, and if you're not decelerating hard, it will bounce your front wheel out from under you. You'll be sliding down the road on your fanny. Take my word for it, I learned the hard way, twice. I also avoided many.Dogs; if a dog looks at you, you won't hit it. If he doesn't look at you, blow your horn. He will look and see it's a human on a motorbike and stay out of your way. The only critter that works for. Don't think he will know to stay to the side of the road because he hears you. I'm a dog lover, but I know [from experience] they just aren't that smart.Goats;
Will mostly stay still as you pass by, but if you pass too close may be spooked and jump out at you while trying to avoid you. Goats are very thick.
That lesson hurt me some, and was much worse for the goat.Cows / buffalos; singly, they're easy. Just go around them slowly and they won't alter their course [if walking]. They will always travel in the direction they are looking, so watch their heads, and you'll get a couple of seconds notice of any course change. Also be careful of the horns, if they have long ones and may shake their heads...
In a herd, they are much less predictable. They like to crowd together, so you're in good shape if they're all on one side of the road; but if you have to split a herd, go dead slow, less than a walk. Talking to them quietly seems to help keep them calm.
If mating, they will run at full gallop in any direction. Two bovines on six legs could come out of the underbrush at any time, and I have no advice to offer on that one.Chickens; ignore them. They usually miss you, and if they don't then nothing will happen anyway [great cloud of feathers and a loud squawk]. They're cheap to buy if you need to pay for one, much cheaper than an accident trying to get out of their way.Monkeys are smart and will stay out of your way if you're moving. If you're parked though, they might try to steal your food.
If they try they usually succeed.
One guy I know had a monkey fall out of a tree onto him as he rode his bike below, but that was because of a fight with another monkey. The monkey was fine, my friend wasn't. He had to get a rabies injection too.The road itself;
Much is made of the potholes and poor surface. But remember this as well; it doesn't rain for months after monsoon. The roads are very dirty!
This includes oily soot from diesel engines and cow shit, all dried and rolled out by the passage of many tires.
What I'm trying to say is, grip isn't so good.
If there is an unseasonable rain, or the first rain of the monsoon, the roads turn to grease. I've had to drive on the muddy shoulder as it was safer than the road.
The old hands were all sitting in the bar, watching the first timers slide off the bend into the field one by one...
There are no roadside reflectors or lines on the sides. There can be buffalos lying in the road and your headlight is probably not very bright.Insurance;
Is mandatory in India. I STRONGLY advise you to be sure you're insured.
They don't actually pay, but if you have an accident and you're not insured, you are in DEEP shit; at the mercy of the police.License;
Get an international license from the auto club where you live. It's an amendment to your home state license that says it's legal everywhere. Valid for 1 year.Attitude; this is important...
You're on vacation, mom is far away, no one is watching what you do.
There are few if any speed traps, fines are only a few bucks anyway. There are no breathalyzers, everyone's having a good time, No one else seems to be paying any attention to traffic rules... it's a blast to ride fast.
TAKE IT EASY! Shit happens, but it doesn't have to happen to you. Just because you left all that's serious on another continent doesn't mean it's ok to drive like there's no tomorrow. There are other people on the roads, including children.
Having a bike accident is no fun anywhere, but even less fun when you're in a place where it can take so long to get help.
Accidents; no one likes to talk about this subject, but it would be good to be prepared if it happens.
Each situation is unique, so what to do will always be a judgment call.
If you hit an animal, it's your fault. Best to just apologize and pay for it if the poor creature is dead or badly injured, even though you may be in a state of discomfort yourself. If necessary, go back later and find the owner.
It's up to you to keep everyone calm; people get excited and angry when nasty things happen, especially if there is human injury. Don't raise your voice, make eye contact, and be sympathetic even if it's not your fault.
If you've hurt someone, you will likely be charged with "rash and negligent driving". That will be expensive and time consuming.
If it's only property damage, consider paying on the spot. You are insured [right?], but who needs the hassle?
If anger is brewing and a crowd is gathering, flee if you can. This is legal in India [leaving the scene of an accident if you have fear for your personal safety due to riot]. But you have to report to the nearest police station immediately. This won't be fun, but sure beats a riot with your name on it. If your vehicle is too damaged to drive, jump into someone else's and shut the door. Tell him to drive; he probably will.
If you are injured yourself, people will almost surely be sympathetic, but you'll still have to take charge if you can. Ask if anyone has a mobile phone, ask him or her to call someone for you, a doctor or hospital or the police. There is still no central alarm number for India.
If you're in north Goa, keep this number handy; Vrindavan Hospital - Tel: 250022 / 250033My qualifications; driving in India since 1971 [on a bicycle for the first few years], I have a reputation [no longer deserved] for being excessively exuberant on the road. I've hit most of the animals mentioned above, and maybe you don't have to.
II hope this writing will help someone sometime. Have fun!

If Logic Tells You Otherwise, Ignore Your Gut
The brain, it turns out, is wired early on with an intuitive sense of logic, but we often ignore it to go with our gut reaction, which often means people let their stereotypes rule the action. When making these decisions, people still have a sense that something is off, but don't let logic prevail in the decision.

The Eloquent Sounds of Silence by Iyer Pico (via @cmuravi)
We have to earn silence, then, to work for it: to make it not an absence but a presence; not emptiness but repletion. Silence is something more than just a pause; it is that enchanted place where space is cleared and time is stayed and the horizon itself expands. In silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think, and so sink below our selves into a place far deeper than mere thought allows. In silence, we might better say, we can hear someone else think.

Magic Kingdom: Is Qatar Too Good To Be True? - Global Spin - TIME.com
If there ever were a country that resembled a fairytale kingdom as imagined by Disney, it would be Qatar: A benevolent monarch and his beautiful queen rule over a peaceful populace, untroubled by the revolutions in neighboring lands even as they support those revolutions financially and through the modern-day equivalent of a magic wand: the government backed satellite news channel al Jazeera. They spend the country's wealth on the arts and sciences. They have built not one, but seven temples to education in what was once barren desert. The ever-blooming skyline of the capital Doha reflects a 2010 growth rate of 19 percent and the second highest per-capita GDP in the world. Unlike other insta-cities whose crystalline growth effaces cultural identity, thoughtful architecture negotiates the constant preoccupation of the Arab world: how to be modern without losing identity.

Steve Jobs last words: Oh wow! That was a clever way to go...
When Voltaire was on his deathbed, a priest asked him to renounce the Devil. He replied: 'This is no time for making new enemies.' And then, with perfect timing, he died. But, with such a good witticism under his belt, what if he had struggled on for another few days? The same goes for Oscar Wilde, who is always meant to have looked at the vulgar curtains of his cheap hotel, and then to have said: 'Either those curtains go or I do,' before dying.

Hothouse friends, he called them. Like exotic flowers suddenly in full bloom, there's no telling how long they'll last. And the hothouse was Zenzi. This was six years ago, and I'd come to the city more or less alone. For people like me, it was a living room. You'd expect to see everybody you knew; anyone you didn't know, well, you'd know soon enough.
That kind of awkward, desperate manoeuvre, the flurry of uninvited text messages, felt somehow beneath me. Shouldn't friends just, y'know, happen? Develop organically, like in a garden? And, wait a sec—didn't these people already have a life? Their own friends, family? Where were they all week?
Love the other parts of the write up too. Also love how the article doesnt really try to achieve anything or really make a point. Its just thoughts.

How to Read More: A Lover's Guide :zenhabits
1. Don't read because you should — read for joy. Find books about exciting stories, about people who fascinate you, about new worlds that you'd love to visit. Forget the classics, unless they fit this prescription.
2. Carve out the time. We have no time to read anymore, mostly because we work too much, we overschedule our time, we're on the Internet all the time (which does have some good reading, but can also suck our attention endlessly), and we watch too much TV. Pick a time, and make it your reading time. Start with just 10 minutes if it's hard to find time — even 10 minutes is lovely. Try 20 or 30 if you can drop a couple things from your schedule.
3. Do nothing but read. Clear all distractions. Find a quiet, peaceful space. It's just your book, and you. Notice but let go of the urges to do other things instead of read. If you must do something else, have some tea.
4. Love the hell out of it. You're not doing this to better yourself. You're doing it for joy. Reading is magic, and the magic will change everything else in your life. Love the experience, and you'll look forward to it daily.
5. Make it social. Find friends who love to read, or find them online. There's a world of readers on the Internet, and they'd be happy to make recommendations and talk about the books you're all reading. Try a book club as well. Reading is solitary, but is also a social act.
6. Make it a habit. Pick a trigger in your daily routine, and consistently read exactly after that trigger each day. Even if it's just for 5-10 minutes. The more consistent you are, and the longer you keep the streak going, the stronger the habit will become.
7. Don't make it a chore. Don't make it something on your todo list or schedule that you have to check off. It's not part of your self-improvement plan. It's a part of your Make Life More Awesome Plan.
8. Give up on a book if it's boring. Reading isn't something you do because it's good for you — it's not like taking your vitamins. You're reading because it's fun. So if a book isn't fun, dump it. Give it a try for at least a chapter, but if you still don't love it, move on.
9. Discover amazing books. I talk to other people who are passionate about books, and I'll read reviews, or just explore an old-fashioned bookstore. Supporting your local bookstores is a great thing, and it's incredibly fun. Libraries are also amazing places that are underused — get a card today.
10. Don't worry about speed. Speed reading is fine for some, but slow reading is great too. The number of books, and the rate of reading them, matters not a whit. It's not a competition. You're reading to enjoy the books, so take your time. It's like enjoying good food, or good sex: better savored, not rushed.

Kids Learn About Trail Safety in Camping with Grandpa/
Camping with kids is a great and inexpensive way to take a break from the busy city life and gain a new appreciation for nature. It also provides you with an opportunity to bond with your kids (and your inner child).
That said, camping with kids requires lots of planning and practice. If your family members are first-time campers, you might want to brush up on your survival skills and pick up some safety tips. Camping with Grandpa offers to teach kids about important outdoor skills through well-designed mini games.
Take a Hike
In Camping with Grandpa, kids join Grandpa on a hiking and camping adventure. They get to choose a trail, learn to read a compass, discover flora and fauna along the camping trail, identifying animal tracks, and play tent games. There are seven games in all, each with a unique mechanic.
Between the games, kids can participate in fun extras such as roasting marshmallows, making s'mores and hotdogs, and dousing the campfire before going to bed. They also get to watch fascinating videos about real-life camping experiences. At the end of each game, kids can earn various rewards such as their very own wilderness patches or a high five from Grandpa.
The Games
The games in Camping in Grandpa have been arranged in a way to illustrate a day of camping. First, kids help Grandpa choose which items to take on the hike: a whistle, a compass, a trash bin, or a violin? Each correct selection will be put into the backpack while the incorrect items will be removed.
Next, kids choose which of the four trails they want to take. Kids then read a compass to decide how to get to the desired trail. Do they go north or south, east or west?
Once they have arrived at the trail, kids can enjoy the view while learning more about the flora and fauna. Grandpa will ask them to point out a specific plant or animal, for example, all the willows or all the white birch trees. They also get to help different animals get to the foods they eat by drawing a trail with their finger.
The next activity is to identify tracks left by an animal. Kids use their finger to draw tracks in the sand, then guess which of the four animals made the tracks. Then, it's off to the campsite.
At the campsite, kids can help Grandpa prepare dinner by roasting the marshmallows to make s'mores or the sausages to make hotdogs. They then douse the fire before going back into the tent.
Inside the tent, Grandpa is making shadows on the tent wall. Kids must guess which item makes the shadow. They then move on to the next game, which involves finding all the words in the box. After watching a brief real-action video, kids choose a stuffed toy and finally go to bed.
Parents Need to Know
Camping with Grandpa is designed for kids ages 6-8 to learn about outdoor and survival skills, wildlife, and eco-awareness. It also helps kids expand their camping vocabulary through specially designed mini games.
Like past Grandma and Grandpa apps, Camping with Grandpa allows you to customize the activities in the app for your child's level or preference. You can go to the Settings page from the main screen and select which activities you want to include in the game. It's a useful feature if you want your child to focus on a specific skill set.
Camping with Grandpa doesn't require an Internet connection. It doesn't contain third-party advertising and no in-app purchases either. You will find links to the developer's other apps, but they are secured behind a parental gate.
Things I Like
Having tried most of the apps in the Grandma and Grandpa series, I can say that they always get better with new releases. Camping with Grandpa is just fantastic: it's gorgeous, easy to use, and educational. It also focuses on life skills that can be applied in real-world contexts — a feature that you don't always find in other apps.
The activities in Camping with Grandpa have been designed to balance fun and learning. Whether it's a simple "Good job!" or an interactive high-five, the app is full of encouragements to keep kids motivated. It also has plenty of humor throughout; for example, on your hike you might see Grandma in her silly costumes hiding in plain sight.
If your child loves the great outdoors or if they just enjoy adventures in general, they will have a blast in Camping with Grandpa. They'll love the outdoor-themed mini games, interesting videos, and Grandpa's silly antics. On the other hand, grown-ups will appreciate how the app teaches kids about practical life skills, trail safety, and wildlife. A must-have for ages 6+.
