Everyone loves a holiday, but getting away can be tough as a single traveller. This is certainly true when it comes to booking a holiday in the first place – particularly if you have to cough up for a single supplement. But thankfully us Moneymagpies are here to take some of the stress (and expense) out of travelling on your own.
1. Where to start
Over the last few years, travel agents and tour operators have realised that single travellers are a sizeable market, and have taken big strides to make sure they're catered for. This means there are far more options out there than there used to be, especially if you want to have a DIY holiday rather than a package deal.
The best way to do this is by looking at the big travel websites like Expedia, eBookers, Lastminute.com, lowcostholidays.com and Opodo to get an idea of what's out there. See our money-saving travel article here, and find out which are best for you.
One of the great benefits of travelling alone is that you can do exactly what you like, so if you want to chill by a beach for a week then you can or if you fancy an active adventure break, go for it – the world's your oyster! Travelling alone has the advantage of giving you complete flexibility whilst you're on holiday. You can act on a whim, without having to worry about what anyone else wants to do.
And don't forget travelling alone doesn't mean being alone as there are loads of holiday group tours and packages to go on.
If you join an organised group tour then meeting people is definitely not a problem – but you have to do your research to make sure you will be holidaying with like-minded people. You'll also often have to make some allowances for where the group wants to eat and what they want to do.
2. Going it alone
If you've decided to go it alone then it's time to start booking! You'll want flights, hotels and possibly car hire too, and the web is often the place to get the top deals. It's definitely worth shopping around, however, to make sure you get everything you need. Don't discount your local travel agent – they can sometimes come up trumps since they'll have a better idea of what's available than you. STA Travel are very good, and contrary to popular belief offer trips for people of all ages, not just students.
Just remember that many hotels or tour operators will charge a single supplement. Be sure to ask when you book so there are no nasty surprises when the bill comes in!
One of the downsides to travelling alone is that it's not cheap. You're paying for all expenses, travel, food, accommodation and everything else to go with it. So maybe you want to try a holiday with friends too.
Instead of sleeping with one eye open in a cheap hostel sharing with eight strangers, why not have the comfort of going for a smaller room with your friends? If you feel like splashing out you could opt for your own bathroom too. Alternatively, if your friends aren't too keen on going abroad you could volunteer.
3. What to do next – joining a group
There are loads of different companies that now offer small group holidays aimed at at single travellers with ClubMed offering the ultimate single holiday package. ClubMed basically provide all-inclusive holiday deals in resorts around the world for single adults. As a result, it's hugely popular and caters for a range of people. From sports and fitness to outdoor relaxation and exploring, they've got it covered.
If you want a great experience then companies like Geckos Adventures, Intrepid, Exodus, Imaginative Traveller and GAP Adventures are certainly worth a look. Although most of these companies welcome travellers of any age, they're primarily aimed at young people and students. This means that value for money is a key part of their appeal.
However, if you value your privacy then it's worth knowing that, on some trips offered by these companies, the fact that you're a single traveller does not necessarily mean you'll get a single room. As a way of keeping costs down, you may be paired up with another member of the group to share a room. This can help break the ice but you should check before you book.
Jasmine says...

Another way to meet people on holiday is to do an adventure tour or volunteering. There are thousands of volunteer placements on the web from companies such as GVI, Camp America, Projects Abroad, i to i and many more. From doing conservation work in South America to working in hospitals in South Africa, there are loads of things you can do. It should be noted though that some trips require extra cash for the kitty once you get there and flights are not usually included in the price.
But just because young people might be their primary market, don't assume that these firms only cater to backpackers. All of them offer several different styles of holiday depending on whether you want the experience of roughing it or prefer a little more luxury. The size of group will depend on the style of holiday.
If you'd prefer a slightly more mature group of travellers then why not check out Solos, Just You or Shearings? The age range with these companies is typically slightly older, and the holidays generally cater to more discerning travellers, with nicer hotels and more comfortable transfers.
There are also forums on a lot of these sites, which are great for getting answers to your questions and finding out from other travellers what the trips are actually like. You might even get to know your fellow holidaymakers before you leave! In the past, some people looked on these types of singles holidays as a kind of dating agency, but this reputation is generally undeserved and shouldn't put you off. In fact, 20% of people who travel with Just You are married or in a relationship, but for various reasons have chosen to holiday alone.
Older travellers around retirement age can also look at Saga who offer some holidays specifically for single travellers. Cruises are also popular option with single travellers. Good companies to look at include Thomson, Virgin, P&O, Princess, Cunard and Royal Caribbean.
4. Other Extras
Like all other holidays, there are some important things to do before you go. Make sure you get the right travel insurance. To find out more, see our article here. For a price comparison on travel insurance click here. You'll also want to make sure you get the right travel money – click here for our article on how to avoid the pitfalls and get a good deal.
If it's a last-minute break you're after, make sure you check out our guide to last-minute bargains. And whatever your holiday plans, be sure to read our money-saving holiday tips first. Lastly if you need some new luggage then Amazon.co.uk is always a good place to start, whilst APH are great if you want to bag some cheap airport parking.

This is a post I should have done a while ago. Richard and I don't often get the opportunity to get together to do some carving, but during each school holiday we always make an effort to meet up. Last half term we got together at Richard's and decided to do some spoon carving. We thought it would be good to both have a go at the same type of spoon and so we tried to copy one of Richards favourite users, which is actually a copy of one that I bought from a market in Turkey.
It was a nice sunny day; perfect for an afternoon carving. Unfortunately the piece of Maple that I was using was awful and very knotty. It probably should have been abandoned, but I persevered anyway.
Richard spent some time trying out my Twca Cam and I had a go with his spoon board (I'll post more about them soon).
Unfortunately, during the day, Richard managed to sit on the spoon he was copying and broke it. His copy will have to be his new favourite.

Realizing Technology Potential through TPACK
Realizing Technology Potential through TPACK - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
A participatory culture driven by user-generated content has emerged in the world outside schools. Each day, more than 100,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube alone. According to the Digital Ethnography group at Kansas State University, 80% of the two-minute video clips are created by the users who post them--teenage authors working outside school. As this engagement with media and technology increases in youth culture, it encourages educators to consider ways to connect this enthusiasm to school content. Technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) are equally important in making connections to instructional objectives in school. TPACK represents a unified way to better understand the role of digital technology as an educational tool. This article discusses that the potential of technology will require skills and knowledge not just of technology, pedagogy, and content in isolation but rather of all three taken together, requiring collaboration among those with expertise in each area. Accomplishing this will require leadership at multiple levels--both national and local. (Contains 3 figures, 1 table and 6 resources.)

The kids and Phil had a great time wandering around in the corn maze.
There were lots of different corn to buy at the produce markets as well.
One of the last Sunflowers out in full bloom
While Phil and the boys were getting lost in the Mais Maze, there was a "pick your own Raspberries". So, Nicole bought a plastic container for 20 cents, and picked these berries.
525 grams in total (Cameron remembers that number) the total price was Є2.36...what a bargain! The lady was surprised at how many I had in my container. She said that most people has only found a few handfuls.
Well, the boys were lost in that maze for over 45 minutes... So there was plenty of time to look for raspberries.
So it's raspberries and ice cream for dessert tonight.....yum yum yum.
( We took 118 photos at the pumpkin festival today. Just wait until the strawberry and asparagus festival next year!)

Dogecoin To The Rand: The Affluence Network: The Coin of The People
Thank you so much for coming to us in search of "Dogecoin To The Rand" online. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more resistant to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be achieved by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also take part in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. This mining activity validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it's not a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all present bitcoins. This scenario is just not to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there exists no requirement for large amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Dogecoin To The Rand – The Affluence Network – Picking Up Where Bitcoin Left Off
In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may also be traded being a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that this kind of digital money isn't handled by way of a fundamental banking system and it is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a minimal quantity of goods, this cash's worth is founded on market forces, allowing entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency exchanges. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the protocol by which it's transacted. All exchanges on a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. When youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short term where your visitors can challenge or require a concessions, or employ dishonest sleight of palm. Used, many dealers will be wise to use a fee processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto currency deals, you must make sure that security is hard. With any kind of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your private keys and so steal your cash. Sadly, you probably can never obtain it back. It's quite crucial for you to adopt some very good secure and safe methods when coping with any cryptocurrency. This can protect you from all of these damaging activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers argue that there is "actual" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth climbs due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some type of wages to be able to ensure the shortage. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It is also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act. When searching on the internet forDogecoin To The Rand, there are many things to ponder.

Dogecoin To The Rand: TAN – The Only Coin
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the appropriate spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these companies decide how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present constitutional difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to understand how the procedure works in and of itself, but it's fundamentally crucial that you understand that there is a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can only choose to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to run or to cease operation. You have probably noticed this many times where you usually spread the nice word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What goes on when the cost failures? " to date, several POS systems presents free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people is likely to be unwilling to keep any. We have to find a method to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Many people choose to use a currency deflation, particularly individuals who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal seclusion, for example, is great for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen as part of your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.

Review: Super Troopers 2
PLOT: Years after being drummed off the force, a gang of former state troopers get a crack at getting their old jobs back when it's revealed a small Canadian town is actually located on American soil.
REVIEW: Ah, Broken Lizard. They were a staple of early-00's bro culture, just like Maxim Magazine, and Limp Bizkit. I should know – I was an avid consumer of said culture. SUPER TROOPERS was one of those dorm-room staples like VAN WILDER and the first HAROLD & KUMAR, heavily consumed by my ilk before moving on to more cultish fare like MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL and LIFE OF BRIAN (both of which – I should mention – showed up on Netflix the other day).
All that said, I've always had a soft spot for the Broken Lizard boys, with SUPER TROOPERS still good for a chuckle, although I wasn't keen on the follow-ups (BEERFEST has its moments though). Despite each of them facing incipient middle age, there's something comforting about this sequel being just as silly, and brain-dead as the original, although the humor is definitely more forced this time. In that regard, SUPER TROOPERS 2 is a lot like DUMB & DUMBER TO, or later Adam Sandler movies. It's funny to watch youngish guys being stupid, but watching them act the same way in middle age isn't quite as easy to laugh at, as it takes on an air of tragedy.
SUPER TROOPERS 2 starts off with the guys older, but none the wiser, as they work on a construction crew. The personalities are still intact, with Kevin Heffernan's Farva still the loud, obnoxious one they all hate, while Erik Stolhanske's Rabbit still gets hazed as "the rookie". Similar to its predecessor, this is like a slightly more sophisticated POLICE ACADEMY, as the boys find themselves back in their old jobs due to a land dispute with Canada. They wind-up patrolling the disputed land, which is about to become part of the States, leading to lots of discontent with the unhappy Canadian locals – cue lots of "sow-ry", and "eh" jokes. Given that the town is in Quebec, there are also lots of French digs, although once again, Americans think French Canadians have a French from France accent. Non. Even local gal Emmanuelle Chriqui falls into the trap. Pourquoi???
Like the first one, the jokes are hit and miss, but unlike it, the ratio is way more skewed to miss. If the first was something like 60/40, this one's like 20/80. While some of the jokes are great, such as a bit where the guys have to each sample confiscated pills, with Jay Chandrasekhar's Thorny getting addicted to a female sex-booster called Flova Scotia (tee-hee-hee), they don't make up for all the dumb slapstick. Particularly unfunny is the rivalry with the Mounties the boys are replacing, played by Tyler Labine, Will Sasso, and Hayes MacArthur.
Then again, the fact that the Broken Lizard gang are still able to come up with a few funny gags says something, and as bad as it occasionally is, SUPER TROOPERS 2 Is mostly inoffensive, and not too painful to watch. It's also always fun to see Brian Cox cut loose and have fun, with him clearly relishing his return to the franchise, reprising his role as their captain. He gets more in on the antics this time, although nothing beats the scene in the first film when he drunkenly pulls over a couple and pees in their car. Rob Lowe also has fun as the Quebecois mayor, even sneaking in a bit of his wacky "Lowe Files" trivia as a former hockey player named for the famous Halifax Explosion (Lowe's already hit the late night circuit talking it up).
Let's face it – the Broken Lizard gang had their moment. They did what they did pretty well, but comedic tastes have changed somewhat. However, there's no doubt they still have their fans (let's not forget how wildly successful their Indie Go-Go campaign was), and if you're a die-hard, you'll probably like SUPER TROOPERS 2. For the rest of us, it's a decent Netflix watch for a joke-or-two, but not worth shelling-out any real cash for.

Bid On Britney's Loot, Aid Victims
"This is a great opportunity to get some cool (and rare) Britney items while contributing to a very important cause!" says a posting on Spears' Web site. The 23-year-old pop singer was raised in Kentwood, La.
Items include a white stone bra worn in one of her videos, a pair of blue-and-pink jeans with a pink suede buckle belt, and an autographed "I Have the Golden Ticket" burgundy tank top with an arrow pointing down.
The tank top is similar to the light blue top a pregnant Spears wore to the premiere of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
The auction, which opened Saturday, continues this week, with proceeds going to The Britney Spears Foundation to help hurricane victims.
Spears, who is married to her former backup dancer Kevin Federline, gave birth to the couple's first child, a son, last month.

By now you have probably heard about Nevada Senator John Ensign's marital failures, and have probably already started to hear the overused but effective "H" word and its various derivatives thrown around by the pundits and opinionators. And I would hazard a guess that you've already arrived at your own opinion about him and whether or not you would vote for him. "He's from
But before we get too far into this, let's pay a visit to the ghost of Noah Webster. Hypocrite: 1: a person who puts on a false impression of virtue or religion. 2: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.
Pretty cut and dried, no? Well, not so fast, sez Bruck. The other side of the coin is good old fashioned human weakness. Let's put it this way - any dog owners out there? (Note, this illustration categorically does not apply to cat owners.) Your dog thinks the world of you. He or she worships the ground you walk on. Are you nearly as good a person as your dog thinks you are? Notwithstanding your dog's inability to comprehend your less tangible shortcomings, and likewise his or her relatively low self esteem (we once had to give back a dog who had excessively high self esteem but that's another story), I'm guessing the answer is no. But I'm also guessing that this doesn't compel you to embroider a scarlet H on your sweater either.
Those of us whose value systems include some non-zero level of moral/ethical standards always find ourselves in a bit of a quandary. On the one hand, we (hopefully) agree that it's good to have such standards. If you think about, it's pretty easy to see that civilized society depends on, and would quickly disintegrate without, at least a certain level of them. Taking this a step further, regardless of our ability to live up to them, I'm going to postulate that for genuine, objective moral and ethical standards, the higher the better for all concerned. But, and here's the rub, the higher they are, the more difficult they are to live up to, and the more likely we are to fail to meet them. In some corners, and I believe this is a cowardly, despicable position to take, the answer is to simply disclaim any standards, or attempt to modify them after the fact to fit one's behavior, having been caught with one's hand in the cookie jar as it were. That way, the offender can be justified in his or her own mind, and avoid the dreaded "H" word. Honest men and women won't do this, of course, but what is the answer?
Over the past few decades, the Christian world, both Catholic and Protestant in its various expressions, has been rocked with numerous moral scandals among its leadership, some truly revolting, and all of them disappointing. And I can tell you from the insider's perspective, it's not just the leadership who commit moral failures. You're welcome to investigate other religions that claim objective moral guidance, and I think you'll find much of the same thing. So, what does that make us? A bunch of hypocrites, as our opponents self-righteously claim? I'm going to invoke the "M" word at this point: Maybe. Or, the statistician's/WOC nurse's (look it up) favorite answer: it Depends.
How can you say that, Bruck? Isn't it obvious? They're saying one thing and doing another! Well, this is the quandary – we have high standards, but we can't always live up to them, and when we don't, we find ourselves on the defensive against those with low or no standards. Recognizing the fact that both can be present in a situation, I think that much of what is labeled as hypocrisy these days is just simply human weakness and should be dealt with as such. IMHO, true hypocrisy is actually pretty rare.
So, what makes a hypocrite? I believe it's a matter of perspective. I heard on the radio that Sen. Ensign is a born-again Christian. My first two thoughts: (1) okay, a weak one, but certainly not the first or hundredth fallen Christian I've heard of, and (2) that's kind of the point of Christianity, to restore one's relationship with God, having been separated from Him by sin. Next I heard that he was a Promise Keeper. Okay, so he broke his marriage vows and his PK oath. Next I heard that he was one of Slick Willie's loudest condemners following his intern indiscretions. Hmmm. Now we're not quite in H-land, but we're definitely on contact with the tower. And another data point. Apparently Sen. Ensign made his public confession under pressure of extortion from the husband of his erstwhile tango partner. Then I hear that it's not the first time he drew water from the wrong well. Notwithstanding the fact that our information on the subject is filtered through the unfriendly media, now I feel like I need to take a shower.
The answer: admit your human weakness, seek forgiveness of those affected by it, deal with the consequences, and endeavour to constrain yourself against future opportunities. In Ensign's case, as with the 42nd president, public contrition occurred only after an extortionist or a stained dress appeared on the scene, so it's a little tough to take it seriously.
I'm just telling you how I feel; fortunately, like you, I've been relieved of the responsibility to pass moral judgment. So if Ensign is a hypocrite, you won't hear it from me. But I do vote. What do I base my vote on? Character, and by now I think I'm have a pretty good handle on that. A person with strong character can possibly fail as a leader, but there is no such thing as a good leader with weak character.
Bottom line: Would I vote for Ensign, given the opportunity? Well, it depends who he's running against, but in general I would vote for a person who attempts to meet high standards and fails over a person who lives by no standards and succeeds.

We have something on the air. No, it doesn't have a 70cm receiver. No, there's nothing to watch other than a test pattern (when the transmitter is active) but at least we have the transmitter online.
For the time being, the transmitter is turned on/off via the control link with the program material being color bars. There is also an 23cm link receiver for use during NASA Space shuttle missions and special events as necessary. Anyway, work continues...
For some other details, see the main page.
How about receiving the WB7FID ATV repeater at your QTH? We strongly recommend that you use a 70cm amateur beam that will cover the 426 MHz range (a beam made for 432 MHz SSB use should be OK, but a 70cm beam intended for repeater use will work at reduced efficiency) and that it be horizontally polarized (very important.) Furthermore, this antenna must have a clear line-of-sight view (no trees in the way, please!) of the Oquirrh range (where the TV stations are) and it is recommended that, as long as you are going through the trouble of putting up this antenna, you feed it with good coaxial cable.
If you live from Provo to Ogden, the signals are actually quite strong. If you have, say, a 10 element yagi (or larger) then a reasonable length (less than 50 feet) of the larger (lower loss) coax. If you wish to transmit with this system, then use no less than RG-8 (or, better yet, RG-213.) Unfortunately, ordinary VHF/UHF TV receive antennas work very badly in the 70cm amateur band. To find out how badly they work, read the Using VHF/UHF TV antennas on ATV page.
For a receive-only system, RG-6 cable (I said RG-6 and not RG-59!!!) is only very slightly lossier than the more-expensive RG-8 types. What about the antenna being 50 ohms and the coax being 75? Don't worry: The mismatch won't cause very much signal to be lost. How do you connect that "F"-type TV connector to the UHF or N connector on the antenna? Well, this can be a problem - and you may have to be creative. You will probably have to adapt the antenna to a BNC connector (with an adapter) and then use BNC-to-F adapter: At this point you can attach the F-type connector on the coax to the antenna. (Don't forget to waterproof the adapters and connectors with good-quality electrical tape!) Some of the larger supply houses (such as RaElco in Salt Lake - look in the telephone book) have a wide assortment of interseries adapters and the may be able to get you directly from an F connector to whatever is on the antenna in one step. Remember: RG-6 uses an aluminum shield, so you cannot solder it into a normal UHF connector!

area, go to the Receiving
the WB7FID ATV repeater at your QTH page.

Electronic / R&B / Soul
At the age of 19 years old Noah McBeth, otherwise known as NoMBe, went with his class on a trip from Germany to Las Vegas. Unlike his classmates, NoMBe never got on the return flight back to Germany. Instead he stayed behind in the US to pursue his dream of making a career for himself in music. Throughout 2017, NoMBe released a new single month by month - a tribute to all of the women that might've even loved him.
In 2018, NoMBe unveiled the full album They Might've Even Loved Me, a brutally honest account of romance, sex and heartbreak. Reminiscent of a diary, the album was inspired by an array of women who've helped shape his life: from his godmother Chaka Khan, to high school crushes, girlfriends and summer flings.
A blend of rock and electronic influences, his songs have quickly captured the ears of fans and respected curators alike. After choosing a NoMBe song for the theme of his upcoming TV show series, Pharrell remarked, "He makes music for the subconscious with colorful layers and unexpected water slides. He writes and produces dream sequences."

"Do some yoga, paint some landscape and run on the beach"
Greg Gutfeld's infamous joke at the expense of our military was just the ugliest example of American television's new wave of humour at the expense of Canada. Too bad it's neither funny nor accurate. Read it here.

HARARE - The Industrial Development Corporation of Zimbabwe (IDCZ) is inviting financial advisors to lead the sale of Chemplex Corporation Limited, one of its subsidiaries.
In a Government Gazette published on Friday last week, IDCZ sets out a range of requirements for the would be financial advisor to lead the investor search and dilution of its 100 percent shareholding in Chemplex on a success fee basis.
"The investor is expected to inject additional capital in the business, bringing in new technology and access to wider markets for the business," the Gazette reads.
"The individual or company must have the following (i) a minimum five years' experience in providing financial advisory services (ii) demonstrate experience in handling strategic investor search and company restructuring (iii) experience in investment valuations and capacity to provide legal services will be an added advantage."
The self-financing, national Development Finance Institution (DFI) added that expressions of interest should be submitted to Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe, Fifth Floor, Old Reserve Bank of Building 76 Samora Machel Avenue in Harare not later than 10am on February 13.
Chemplex Corporation is Zimbabwe's largest fertilizer and chemicals manufacturing company.
Chemplex entered the Zimbabwean scene in 1924 when AE&CI — a South African company then owned in equal shares by De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited and Nobel Industries Limited — opened a sales and distribution office in Bulawayo to supply the mining industry with explosives, sulphuric acid, and hydrochloric acid among other products.
In those days Nobel used to make hydrochloric acid by mixing sulphuric acid with salt.
AE&CI had a solid reputation for maintaining a chemical services department, staffed by qualified and experienced industrial chemists, to provide free technical advice and assistance in connection with the chemicals sold by the company.
Chemplex has nurtured this reputation throughout the years.
In 1990, AECI sold Chemplex.
Chemplex has five main operating divisions — Dorowa Minerals, Zimbabwe Phosphate Industries Limited, Chemplex Marketing, Chemplex Animal and Public Health, and G. D. Haulage.
ZimPhos is the country's sole producer of sulphuric acid, aluminium sulphate (used in municipal water treatment), and super phosphates (used in the manufacture of phosphatic fertilisers).
The company's largest strategic business unit is the fertiliser industry where it is the outright market leader.
It owns 50 percent of Zimbabwe Fertiliser Company, 36 percent of Sable Chemicals, 100 percent of Zimbabwe Phosphate Industries Limited, and 100 percent of Dorowa Minerals.
Its parent company, IDCZ is a self-financing DFI, established in 1963 through an Act of Parliament, (Chapter 14:10).
It is wholly-owned by the Government of Zimbabwe and accordingly is a State enterprise.
The IDCZ, however, is unique in that it was commercialised from its inception as it is also registered in terms of the Companies Act (Section 3) of Zimbabwe.
The corporation is a limited liability.
The IDCZ's role in the economy is to add value through industrial processes and capital formation (foreign direct investment) to create wealth, employment and industrial development in Zimbabwe.
The IDCZ Act allows the corporation to promote investment and economic co-operation across all borders.
The Act stipulates that all undertakings of the corporation be considered strictly on their economic merits.
Accordingly, the corporation is specifically prohibited from serving a purely social or benevolent function.
It is therefore required to operate on a financially self-sustaining basis, irrespective of other considerations or whatsoever.

200+ Make Aliyah
The new Israelis came from 16 states and three Canadian provinces, including at least five people from Georgia.
More than 200 Americans and Canadians landed at Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday, July 4, on a Nefesh B'Nefesh charter aliyah flight.
The olim (immigrants) traveled with the support of the Israeli Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, the Jewish Agency for Israel, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael and JNF-USA.
The new Israelis came from 16 states and three Canadian provinces, including at least five people from Georgia, according to Nefesh B'Nefesh: Galit Ratson, 18, of Cartersville and four members of the Rabayev family of Suwanee. Others who used to be in Georgia but were living elsewhere may have boarded the flight July 3.
The olim include 14 soon-to-be Israel Defense Forces soldiers, five sets of twins, 34 families, 78 children, 51 singles and 47 people moving to the periphery in the north or south. They work in a range of professions.
A festive welcoming ceremony at the airport included Aliyah and Integration Minister Sofa Landver, Knesset member Avraham Neguise, Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Chagit Moshe, KKL-JNF World Chairman Danny Atar, Jewish Agency official Yehuda Sharf, El Al Deputy Director Stanley Morais, and Nefesh B'Nefesh co-founders Rabbi Yehoshua Fass and Tony Gelbart.
"These modern-day pioneers, many of whom are moving to Israel's north and south, are not only fulfilling their personal dreams, but the dreams of the Jewish nation as a whole," Rabbi Fass said.
More than 2,000 immigrants from North America are scheduled to arrive in Israel this summer.
Correction: This article originally, incorrectly said no one from Georgia was on the flight.

On its face, this is a run-of-the-mill anti-Israel demonstration by our brethren from Neturei Karta. However, there are two things about this clip which stand out:
1. They really sound like zombies when they chant, in a lackluster tone, "We are against the State of Israel because we are Jews." They could easily have been chanting, "We want to eat your brains because we are zombies."
2. Look who's pushing this video clip: our friends at the official Turkish Anadolu news agency. Which means that the "guardians of the city" (the Hebrew meaning of this outrageous sect) have increased their collaboration with our enemies from just the Iranians and the Palestinians to the Iranians and the Palestinians and the Turks.
Anadolu describes the video as follows: "Members of Orthodox Jews hold banners during a protest against Israel's restrictions on Al-Aqsa outside the United Nations headquarters, in New York, US on July 24, 2017."
Couldn't describe it more accurately if we tried.

A Volcano on Mount Sinabung in Indonesia Erupted Sunday and the death toll in rising from the initial 14 that perished among the fiery tragedy. The catastrophic eruption occurred just one day after authorities allowed villagers to return to their homes. Residents of Mount Sinabung of the North Sumatra have been evacuated multiple times due to increased seismic activity over the past few months.
Over the weekend, the months-long seismic activity had decreased. However, this was just the calm before the storm for the mountain residents. The 8,530 foot volcano burst, shooting molten rock and superheated gas from its fiery depths. The pyroclastic flows rivaled that of an avalanche, sending poisonous gas down the southern side of the mountain.
Among the confirmed dead are four high school students, their teacher, and a local television journalist who was covering the event. National Disaster Mitigation Agency (NDMA) spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho stated that three other residents were injured in the eruption. Local authorities claim that death toll will rise in the aftermath of the volcanic eruption in Indonesia.
Over 30,000 people were evacuated in Western Sumatra has the events unfolded. A makeshift environmental refugee camp was created by housing people in tents, public buildings, and schools. Residents have been desperate for months to return to their homes and farms to analyze the potential damage from the seismic activity. 14,000 residents living outside of the "danger zone" were told by the government that it was safe to return to their homes due to decreased volcanic activity.
Despite warnings by authorities, those living nearest to the peak of the mountain returned to their homes at their own risk. Such stubbornness of some residents ended in fiery death from the volcano that continues to claim the lives of Sumatrans.
Indonesia is used to seismic and volcanic activity due to its location on the "Ring of Fire." The Ring of Fire is located on the Asia-Pacific rim and its circumference includes the Aleutian and Hawaiian Islands. Mount Sinabung in Sumatra is situated around over 130 active volcanoes. The mountain has erupted sporadically since last September.
Over time, Sumatran authorities have struggled to keep people from their homes on the mountain during seismic and volcanic activity. In 2010, 324 people perished during a similar eruption of Mount Merapi and the ensuing pyroclastic flows in the aftermath. Attempts by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to relocate the displaced villagers are beginning. The villagers have been attracted to the mountain's fertile soil due to its geological activity. Therefore, moving their subsistence farming lifestyle elsewhere is very difficult.
Lieutenant Colonel Asep Sukarna is currently leading an effort to retrieve the corpses of the victims who perished. He states that they are only able to travel up to two miles from the peak of the volcano. The colonel explained that the darkness from the pyroclastic flows has hindered their ability to reach those further into the darkness who need assistance. As more people are reported missing, it is feared that death toll will continue to rise for days and even weeks. The people of Indonesia can only hope that the aftermath of the volcanic eruption will yield a death toll less than that of years past.

The Miwok 100K has been one of my bucket-list races since 2007. In early 2008, I started talking to an ultra-runner that I'd met through the Ultra List Serv. Her name was Alyssa Skye and she lived in the San Francisco Bay area and regularly ran on Mount Tam and the surrounding Miwok course. Alyssa knew of my struggles and ongoing battle with depression and resolved to give me a vacation. She surprised me with a plane ticket to San Francisco where she picked me up and we spent the next four days running the trails on and around the Marin Headlands.
After finally reaching the ridge line of the Mount Tam area, we then took to the Redwood forest, running under incredibly old giants and their hanging beards of moss. Such an amazing place to run beneath the giants and wonder just how many rings one could count inside. At the north end for the ridge, we endur a quad busting downhill. It was steep for sure and I took my time so as to not blow out my quads. As we descend the hill I am careful to try and count just how many of the 500 starters are in front of me. By the time I reach the bottom and the Randall aid station, I surmised that I was in the top 100 runners. This excited me.
Up and over the next incline and the Golden Gate Bridge comes into view. I see Eric Lee, another Boulder runner, heading back towards the finish and figure he's a good hour and a half ahead of me. He's all smiles but I could tell he was ready to be done.. so was I. Things were finally starting to tighten up and my legs began to tire. My mind was with it. This was the first race I used Succeed Amino ONLY from start to finish and I had yet to bonk, fall into a haze, or lose focus. That stuff is amazing. I hit the Bridge View aid station with a whole group of runners. I had no idea where half these people had been all day. It was as if the main throng of runners was now closing in on me.. I wanted to pick it up.. I just needed to find the gas.

While she is well organized, conscientious, diplomatic, and thorough, Cindy Perkins is also equally compassionate, friendly and fun. Cindy believes that the buying and selling of real estate need not be a drudge, and that she and her clients should enjoy the process. This is an attitude her clients particularly appreciate. She truly has their best interests at heart and it shows. Knowledgeable and easy to get along with, many of her satisfied clients have become personal friends, not to mention the source of many referrals and considerable repeat business.
Great at following up, Cindy is also an excellent communicator. She says that some of the best advice she ever got was not to assume people know what you are talking about. "Put it in a very basic, user friendly way so anything you say that they already know will be confirmed, and that which they don't know will become clear (then nobody feels uninformed or foolish)."
Cindy, who grew up watching her mother enjoy a 30-year career as a Realtor, was an office manager, human resources director and accounting manager for a health care facility management company prior to moving into real estate, but she always sensed it would be her own eventual career path. In fact, she got her license two years before she actually took the plunge. As important as "location, location, location" is to the value of a property, Cindy believes "patience, patience, patience" is essential to a real estate career and it has certainly helped her attain top producer status.
With a BS in Sociology from Sam Houston State University, and a minor in English, Cindy is a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. A lifelong Houston resident and the mother of a grown daughter, Cindy happily lists, shows and sells real estate all over greater Houston, but focuses much of her attention on West Houston, where she lives, as well as Katy, Piney Point, Cinco Ranch, and Parkway Villages.

DVD and re-watched the US edited Voltron series, purchased the soundtrack CD... yeah, I'm a fan. When Netflix launched theirVoltron: Legendary Defender series I dove in with both feet.
So... Voltron. Season one of the new series rocked. I've just begun season two. Being the gamer I am, I starting thinking about how to use some of these concepts and themes in a tabletop RPG. The colorful lions and teams of heroes come from the Japanese Sentai tradition. The Sentai-style show began in 1975 with GoRanger. This is the great-great-ancestor of what we know as Power Rangers over here. In fact, the official Super Sentai lineage is still ongoing as of this writing. While Beast King Golion is not strictly a part of this line, many of the concepts of the Sentai series are present here. A team of pilots (usually 5, usually with 1 female and sometimes a kid) in multicolored uniforms with matching mecha that usually combine to form a super-mecha. We can see shades of this in everything from Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman) to Mighty Orbots. Usually each teammate has a definite focus, a skill, a personal attribute, an archetype. Sometimes this has something to do with their color codes - blue has an affinity for water, for example.
How does this translate into gaming? On the surface- perfectly! Think about it. An action-oriented team where the concept of niche protection is hard-coded into the genre. Think about it from a D20 Modern perspective, using Voltron as our basis. Shiro, Paladin of the Black Lion, is primarily the leader archetype. Yes, he is a great warrior- possibly the best in the party, and if anime conventions and plot lines from the original Golion remain in play, he's the Roy Fokker. By that I mean he's probably more of an NPC than a PC, the seasoned vet who brings the team together and then gets taken out so that the younger hero can take his place. But, we're going with the season one team, here. So Shiro would have levels in Charismatic Hero. Perhaps not all his levels- but half of them at least. His function is to lead and inspire. Hunk is the mechanic and tough guy archetype - his levels would be split between Smart Hero and Tough Hero, with Tough being the majority and adding a few Feats to back up his technical acumen. Pidge would be Smart and Fast, with Smart being the focus. Lance would be Fast in great part, as his piloting and combat skills are his primary asset. Keith would be fast and charismatic, as he is the heir apparent to Shiro. Princess Allura, although she does not currently pilot a lion, would probably be Dedicated Hero with a dash of Smart and Charismatic.
The lions each make up a part of Voltron - and here's where the problems come in. Each lion contributes its essence to the whole that is Voltron, but Voltron effectively becomes one character when the lions are united. This means that four out of your five PCs are twiddling their thumbs in a conventional game. So what to do? I credit my partner in crime in game design Bobby for coming up with this idea: If each lion represents one of the core attributes, then certain combat options would be under the control of that lion's pilot alone. The new Voltron series seems to bear this out- when they need the shoulder cannon, Shiro has Hunk activate it. When they need the sword, Keith activates that. Each Ro-beast has a different fighting style and different weaknesses, which makes figuring out how to fight them a puzzle for the entire party if written correctly.
So, just for giggles, let's take a look at this. I'm going to assign each lion a primary and secondary Ability Score from the D20 array that they bring to Voltron.
Black Lion: CHA and WIS - As an individual lion, the Black Lion is the largest and most powerful of the lions, but as the core of Voltron, it is where Voltron's intimidation and inspirational abilities spring from. Voltron puts fear into evildoers and inspires those of good heart to have hope. As part of Voltron, Black Lion brings these abilities to the table.
Blue Lion: WIS and CON - The Blue Lion in the original series was the powerplant for Voltron. Therefore this lion brings some of Voltron's CON, but it also brings WIS to contribute to the kinds of actions that would come from a Dedicated Hero - repair of Voltron being an important one.
Green Lion: INT and DEX - Green Lion brings stealth and wiliness to Voltron.
Red Lion: DEX and STR - Red Lion brings the Blazing Sword, as the contributor of Voltron's combat skills, DEX and STR flow from Red Lion.
Yellow Lion: CON and STR - The Yellow Lion is the hear of Voltron's toughness and resilience.
So, each lion would get a list of abilities they can add to Voltron. For the sake of brevity, let's give each Lion three abilities just to see what it would look like.
Black Lion
- Basic Attack (Melee)
- Intimidate - Force Morale Check on enemy units of smaller size class than Voltron.
- Inspire - Similar to Clerical Bless, gives bonus to allies on saving throws and morale checks.
- Basic Attack (Kick) - Option to do Cold Damage
- Automated Repair Systems - As Cure Light Wounds on Voltron
- Power Surge - Grant bonus to Voltron's FORT Save.
- Basic Attack (Ranged) - Beam weapon from lion's mouth.
- Analyze Enemy - Give attack bonus on following round.
- Find Weakness - Give PCs a clue as to the deficiencies of an opponent.
- Basic Attack (Punch) - Lion Bite
- Blazing Sword! - Hell yeah.
- Multi-Attack - Attack multiple opponents.
- Basic Attack - (Kick) with optional Fire Damage
- Power Attack - Modifies any of Voltron's melee attacks.
- Shoulder Cannon - BIG Ranged Attack.
Now that I've jotted down these ideas, there are other things to look at. Bobby mentioned each lion and pilot being able to lend their feats to the whole, which reminds me of the way the Pointman class can lend feats to the whole team for the duration of a mission... There's a lot to consider here if I want to run Voltron or a similar Sentai-inspired game in the future.
Just some notes and ruminations I thought folks out there might enjoy.

A man has been arrested after admitting having sex with his beagle at his Miami home.
Jonnie Boggess was arrested on Wednesday and charged with misdemeanour animal cruelty, the Charleston Daily Mail writes.
The 47-year-old admitted having "gentle sexual intercourse" with the animal, named Piglet.
"(Boggess) stated that when he had finished having intercourse that he held 'Piglet', petted her, and told 'Piglet' that he loved her," Trooper NM Manolakos wrote in his report.
Sgt Larry O'Bryan said Boggess claimed he believed it was "OK" to have sex with his dog because it weighed more than 40 pounds and because the dog had been spayed.
WCHSTV reports an animal organisation had received information the dog was being sexually abused, prompting them to contact the authorities.
One neighbour told WOWKTV: "He has done this before, with animals before, and it's no shock."
Boggess, who admitted having sex with Piglet numerous times over the summer, was released on a $5,000 bond.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --Dozens of runners showed up Sunday for a pop-up run through the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia.
Their message: "Get Well, SEPTA Officer Gary Miller."
"I think my husband would do the same thing for anybody," said Clara Alicea, wife. "This is love. This is amazing love. Somebody that they don't even know."
Police say the 13-year vet was running in Holmesburg on May 22 when a car came barreling from behind, striking Miller. He was left on the side of the road with severe injuries.
Miller underwent multiple surgeries over the last week, and was recently moved to the ICU.
"That's where it happened. That's where the collision and everything went down, and the hospital is right up here," said runner Alex Rodriguez when asked about the significance of the starting and ending points of the run.
"We've got a bunch of get well cards and gifts for Officer Miller, and we're going to drop them off," said Jon Lyon, runner.
Surveillance cameras caught the dark-colored Saturn speeding off with a shattered windshield and front-end damage.
But, so far, there have been no arrests.
"Right now I don't think I have words to tell him. I just pray on it, and I just try to forgive him," said Alicea when asked what she would say to the driver of the vehicle that struck her husband. "I still have my husband, thank God, even though he didn't stop."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with medical costs for Officer Miller. To donate click here.

So we would like to see a hat featured somewhere on your challenge entry, and as lots of SCRS characters wear headgear of some sort, I'm sure this will be a fairly easy challenge!
For my card I used 4 DIFFERENT CHLOE stamps (from left to right):
Don't forget that all Chloe stamps are on special at 15% off until 27th May!
I also decided to follow the 365 Cards Challenge sketch from Sunday (rotating it 90 degrees to the left).
I created the sentiment on the computer (although I can't take credit as the author of the phrase, LOL!). It's a very clean and simple card, but I have to say I'm really pleased with how it turned out! As soon as I saw the sketch I knew exactly what I wanted to do - love it when that happens!! :o)
Sparkle Creations challenge is open to all players. Each week a random winner will be chosen, and they will receive a SCRS rubber stamp. [In order to qualify for a prize, you must use a Sparkle Creations image on your creation.]
