Okay, this blog is a confession. I'm not good at saying, "no." Consequently, I sometimes struggle with a heavily-booked calendar and an overwhelmed spirit. Most recently, I've been doing some self-analysis to see why I still struggle here after more than 35 years in ministry.
- I love what I do. When you love what you do, it's easy to say, "yes" to any opportunities. You just don't want to miss anything.
- I've never asked anyone to teach me how to balance my life. I'm not blaming anyone here; in fact, I'm taking responsibility. I haven't asked anyone to help me.
- I don't always listen to others. I'd be lying if I said no one has ever challenged me to work on balance. Sometimes I'm just too busy to listen . . . .
- I live with the urgency of the gospel. I really do think regularly about the reality of lostness, unreached people, and the coming of Christ. The older I get, the more I live with that urgency.
- I like the accolades. Those words are painful to write, frankly. I do, though, enjoy when someone praises me for my work – so I sometimes work more than I must.
- I don't want to let anybody down. If someone I respect and love wants me to do something, I want to do it. Those same people would understand if I said, "I'm just too busy," but I usually don't give them that chance.
- I don't want to seem arrogant. I wrestle, for example, with not accepting invitations just because the crowds are likely to be smaller and the travel will be tougher. I'm always worried about making decisions that seem to be arrogant.
- I don't think enough about stewardship of my time and body. Financial stewardship is a big deal for me, but I don't give enough consideration to other aspects of stewardship.
- I am an idolater. I know better than to live this way, but I live at times like I can accomplish everything. That's idolatry.
- I don't seek enough input from others. That's probably the case in general. When I make a decision by myself, I'll likely spend too little time thinking about the decision.
- I'm still growing. I'm 57, and I've been a Christian for almost 43 years – but I have a long way to go.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue. Readers, why do you struggle with saying "no"?

A few weekend's ago I had an opportunity to delve into a part of Microsoft Windows security policy land that posed a realistic challenge that is surely faced by many people going through migration activities.
Problem statement:
Allow Windows 10 systems to get access to file shares created under Microsoft Windows NT.
After doing a bit of digging, I came across information from Microsoft that suggested such is not supported, starting with Windows 7. The reality is that starting with Windows 7 Microsoft instituted new default security policies that are designed to keep Windows 7 client desktops more secure. In the context of what I was looking to do, security concerns took a back seat (relevant disclosures apply).
The below has been tested on a Windows 10 desktop. If this is something you're interested in doing, please take appropriate precautions around security and encryption in your environment.
1) Run secpol.msc
2) Go over to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options", and find the entry called "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level"
3) From the dropdown menu select "Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".
4) Apply the settings
Note that by default there is no negotiation attempted to a less secure protocol – which is a more secure option, arguably.
Assuming all other appropriate file and print sharing is enabled, along with network discovery, you should be able to get to your NT4 share via the common \\SERVER syntax from a Microsoft Windows 10 desktop.

Description or Situation
Violent crimes can occur just about anywhere or to anyone. Anytime a crime is committed which involves harming, injuring, threatening or holding victims against their will it is typically considered a violent crime by legal standards. Other definitions of violence or crime is often at the discretion or opinion of the victims and depends upon the specific circumstances. Violent crimes are often committed locally or withing a region known to encourage such activity but is certainly not limited to these characteristics.
The following is intended to aid those seeking information related to the aspects, effects and concerns associated being a victim of "violent crime".
Elements of a violent crime
Violence »
Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, mal-development, or deprivation". [Source]
Crime »
In ordinary language, the term crime denotes an unlawful act punishable by a state. The term "crime" does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition. The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law, in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. One proposed definition is that a crime or offense (or criminal offense) is an act harmful not only to some individual or individuals but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law. While every crime violates the law, not every violation of the law counts as a crime. Breaches of private law (torts and breaches of contract) are not automatically punished by the state, but can be enforced through civil procedure. [Source]
The following has been provided with the intent to aid those seeking information related to violent crimes and the implications associated with such events.
What is a violent crime?
A violent crime or crime of violence is a crime in which an offender uses or threatens force upon a victim. This entails both crimes in which the violent act is the objective, such as murder, as well as crimes in which violence is the means to an end. Violent crimes may, or may not, be committed with weapons. Depending on the jurisdiction, violent crimes may vary from homicide to harassment. [Source]
Types of crime that can involve violence
» Aircraft hijackers
Aircraft hijacking (also known as air piracy or aircraft piracy, especially within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, and informally as skyjacking) is the unlawful seizure of an aircraft by an individual or a group. In most cases, the pilot is forced to fly according to the orders of the hijackers. Occasionally, however, the hijackers have flown the aircraft themselves, such as the September 11 attacks. In at least three cases, the plane was hijacked by the official pilot or co-pilot.
Unlike the typical hijackings of land vehicles or ships, skyjacking is not usually committed for robbery or theft. Most aircraft hijackers intend to use the passengers as hostages, either for monetary ransom or for some political or administrative concession by authorities. Various motives have driven such occurrences, including demanding the release of certain inmates (notably IC-814), highlighting the grievances of a particular community (notably AF 8969), or political asylum (notably ET 961). Hijackers also have used aircraft as a weapon to target particular locations (notably during the September 11, 2001 attacks).
Hijackings with hostages commonly produce an armed standoff during a period of negotiation between hijackers and authorities, followed by some form of settlement. Settlements do not always meet the hijackers' original demands. If the hijackers' demands are deemed too great and the perpetrators show no inclination to surrender, authorities sometimes employ armed special forces to attempt a rescue of the hostages. [Source]
» Bank robbers
Bank robbery is the crime of stealing from a bank while bank employees, and usually bystanders, are subjected to force, violence or the threat of violence.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, robbery is "the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear." By contrast, burglary is defined as, "unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft." Bank robbery is therefore defined as entering a bank when it is open and obtaining money either by using force or the threat of force. Breaking into a bank when it is closed is burglary. [Source]
» Burglars
Burglary (also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking), is an unlawful entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offense. Usually that offense is theft, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To engage in the act of burglary is to burgle (in British English) or to burglarize (in American English). [Source]
» Terrorists
In its broadest sense, terrorism is any act designed to cause terror. In a narrower sense, terrorism can be understood to feature a political objective. The word terrorism is politically loaded and emotionally charged. A broad array of political organizations have practiced terrorism to further their objectives. It has been practiced by both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalist groups, religious groups, revolutionaries, and ruling governments. The symbolism of terrorism can exploit human fear to help achieve these goals. [Source]
» Carjackers
The definition of Carjacking is summarized as the unlawful seizure of an automobile. A violent hijacking of the vehicle an it's occupant(s). The scope of a carjacking generally starts with the intent to gain money or valuables from the occupants of the vehicle but is not limited to that outcome. The vehicle itself is often taken and the occupants forced to get out. In many cases the occupants are taken along with the vehicle which escalates the crime to kidnapping. [Source] , [P2S]
» Rapists
Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration perpetrated against a person without that person's consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has a intellectual disability or below the legal age of consent. The term rape is sometimes used interchangeably with the term sexual assault. [Source]
» Kidnappers
In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful taking away or transportation of a person against that person's will, usually to hold the person unlawfully. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute. In some countries such as the United States a large number of child abductions arise after separation or divorce when one parent wishes to keep a child against the will of the other or against a court order. In these cases, some jurisdictions do not consider it kidnapping if the child, being competent, agrees. [Source] , [P2S]
» Torturers
Torture (from the Latin tortus, "twisted") is the act of deliberately inflicting physical or psychological pain on an organism in order to fulfill some desire of the torturer or compel some action from the victim. Torture, by definition, is a knowing and intentional act; deeds which unknowingly or negligently inflict pain without a specific intent to do so are not typically considered torture (though many of the consequences may be the same).
Torture has been carried out or sanctioned by individuals, groups, and states throughout history from ancient times to modern day, and forms of torture can vary greatly in duration from only a few minutes to several days or even longer. Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture. The need to torture another is thought to be the result of internal psychological pressure in the psyche of the torturer. [Source]
» Active shooters
"Active killer" or "active shooter" names a type of mass murder marked by rapidity, scale, randomness and often suicide as well. The phenomenon is exemplified by the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting, the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the 2014 shootings at Parliament Hill, Ottawa, the 2015 Umpqua Community College shooting, the 2015 San Bernardino shooting, and many others.
The United States Department of Homeland Security defines the active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) [sic] and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims." Most incidents occur at locations in which the killers find little impediment in pressing their attack. Locations are generally described as soft targets, that is, they carry limited security measures to protect members of the public. In most instances, shooters commit suicide, are shot by police, or surrender when confrontation with responding law enforcement becomes unavoidable. According to New York City Police Department (NYPD) statistics, 46 percent of active shooter incidents are ended by the application of force by police or security, 40 percent end in the shooter's suicide, 14 percent of the time the shooter surrenders or, in less than 1 percent of cases, the violence ends with the attacker fleeing. The term "active" emphasizes to notified authorities the urgency of situations which are "unpredictable and evolve quickly," and in which "immediate deployment of law enforcement is required to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to victims." [Source]
» Murderers
Murder is the killing of another human being without justification or valid excuse, and it is especially the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought. This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter.
Most societies, from ancient to modern, have considered murder a very serious crime deserving harsh punishment for purposes of retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, or incapacitation. There are many reasons why murder has been criminalized, including its costs to society as well as being considered intrinsically wrong. For example, murder may be considered intrinsically wrong because it violates a right to life or is oppressive; murder may be costly to society by undermining law and order, by squandering potential accomplishments of the victims, by risking escalation of violence, or by spreading fear and grief. [Source]
» Gangsters
A gangster is a criminal who is a member of a gang. Some gangs are considered to be part of organized crime. Gangsters are also called mobsters, a term derived from mob and the suffix -ster. Gangs provide a level of organization and resources that support much larger and more complex criminal transactions than an individual criminal could achieve. Gangsters have been active for many years in countries around the world. [Source]
» Drug cartels
A drug cartel is any criminal organization with the intention of supplying drug trafficking operations. They range from loosely managed agreements among various drug traffickers to formalized commercial enterprises. The term was applied when the largest trafficking organizations reached an agreement to coordinate the production and distribution of cocaine. Since that agreement was broken up, drug cartels are no longer actually cartels, but the term stuck and it is now popularly used to refer to any criminal narcotics related organization, such as those in Afghanistan, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Burma, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Laos, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Russia, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The basic structure of a drug cartel is as follows:
Falcons: (Spanish: Halcones): Considered the "eyes and ears" of the streets, the "falcons" are the lowest rank in any drug cartel. They are responsible for supervising and reporting the activities of the police, the military, and rival groups.
Hit-men: (Spanish: Sicarios): The armed group within the drug cartel, responsible for carrying out assassinations, kidnappings, thefts, extortion's, operating protection rackets, and defending their plaza (turf) from rival groups and the military.
Lieutenants: (Spanish: Lugartenientes): The second highest position in the drug cartel organization, responsible for supervising the hit-men and falcons within their own territory. They are allowed to carry out low-profile executions without permission from their bosses.
Drug lords: [*] (Spanish: Capos): The highest position in any drug cartel, responsible for supervising the entire drug industry, appointing territorial leaders, making alliances, and planning high-profile executions.
It is worth noting that there are other operating groups within the drug cartels. For example, the drug producers and suppliers, although not considered in the basic structure, are critical operators of any drug cartel, along with the financiers and money launderers. In addition, the arms suppliers operate in a completely different circle, and are technically not considered part of the cartel's logistics. [Source]

Gear and Classes For Guitarists at Any Budget
A lot of bedroom producers start out as guitarists who just want to record music at home. The array of gear that's available these days (both software and hardware) is so incredibly vast that it can be a bit intimidating, especially to guitarists who are new to the recording world. To help narrow the search, here are a few tips on must-have gifts for guitarist and producers:
Audio interface $249+
An audio interface is perhaps the single most important part of your signal chain. All the post-processing in the world won't help if the signal going into your DAW is sub-par, so don't skimp on this — it's one of the few places where we think gear DOES matter. Fortunately, there are some great interfaces these days that are pretty affordable. For Mac users, we love the Apogee line, for Windows (or Mac) users Universal Audio's Apollo is a great way to go.
Amp modeler $1,399+
At some point or another, most guitarists have drooled over one of the high-end amp modelers. They're not cheap but they are pretty great, so if you really want to spoil a guitarist then these are a great option. We like the Fractal Audio Ax8, which is basically a footboard version of the Axe-FX. The Line 6's Helix and the Kemper Profiling Amp are also great units.
Record great music using minimal gear. Join Zach Varnell to learn the basic set-up you'll want to create to start recording music at home. Learn more.
"Using The Axe-FX" with Cooper Carter $49
Speaking of amp modelers, if you're fortunate enough to own a Fractal Audio Axe-FX then you know it's a very powerful but very complex piece of gear. In this class, Fractal's own Cooper Carter goes through all the basics that will help you get the most out of it, from tweaking the presets to creating your own from scratch using the Axe's vast array of amp, effects and cab blocks.
"Studio Pass" with Joey Sturgis $99
Regardless of whether you use tube amps, a modeler or amp sims, the one constant is that tone is in the hands. When you're in the studio, that means meticulous attention to detail when tracking and editing– and nobody is more meticulous than Joey Sturgis. Regardless of whether you're going for Joey's sound, if you're a guitarist you need this class. This is the blueprint for getting great guitar takes!
A great EQ plugin $99+
And last but definitely not least, any guitarist/producer needs a solid EQ plugin to fine-tune their tone in a mix. While the stock EQ plugin that comes with your DAW can do the job, you may find that upgrading to a higher-end EQ gives you that extra little layer of polish that takes you from A to A+. We're a big fan of the Waves SSL E-channel and Q10 plugins as well as Fabfilter's Pro Q.

I was just thinking it was a year ago that I was air-lifted to hospitable after my fall from the rope swing where I fractured my vertebra.
Looking at the above picture just hits home and reminds me how lucky I am to be where I am and be able to do what I can. I remember lying there, I had just fallen 5m impacting on the top of my spine, having pain in my neck and having lost my vision (temporarily).
At that time I wasn't thinking "I wish I had sat on my arse more and watched more TV or played more play station" I was thinking "I will do anything to come out of this normal" and lying there you realise how capable you were of doing amazing things.
Luckily one year on, I'm doing all that I could do before and more. The accident encouraged me to increase my first aid skills, and so I joined my mines Emergency Response Team (we train to do what the volunteer firefighters do back home) where I have received great training and experiences. Since the accident I've run a 1/2 marathon and gained my open-water dive cert in which I want to keep progressing. The upcoming summer I want to do more rock climbing and I will definitely be getting some sailing experience under my belt as my crystal ball tells me there will be some sailing in my future journeys -ummmm the coast of Africa would be amazing, who knows?
A big thank you to Mum, Dad, Family and friends who helped me through that little fall.
I'm sorry if it sounds like one of those "send this to 10 people on your email list to gain good luck" emails. But I just want you all to be happy with what you have and if your aren't happy with what you've got, be happy for what you don't have.

Portland Photographs
Champions of Spauldings 135 Pounds, Football League
This photograph I discovered and purchased at an estate sale here in Portland back around 1976. The Albina neighborhood in 1926 was the predominate area where immigrant Germans from Russia settled here in Portland. As you can tell by reading some of the last names listed on the photograph that most were of Germen origin. If any of those athletes were not born in Russia, most assuredly some of their parents were. –Roy Conrad Derring

Then and Now: The Spokane River
Mon., Aug. 20, 2018
The Spokane River connects Idaho and Washington, Natives and white settlers, and a variety of landscapes and ecosystems.
The Spokane, flowing 111 miles to the mighty Columbia River, empties Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, flows past several village sites once used by the Indian tribes of the region as seasonal fishing and gathering camps. Traditionally, the Coeur d'Alene and Spokane tribes would return to the encampments each year.
Once settlement began in earnest, and especially after the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1882, dams were built to power mills and electric generators, but the dams also stopped the salmon from getting upstream to their spawning grounds. With several massive dams now in place, the salmon are gone. But along its length, rainbow trout, kokanee, walleye, perch, smallmouth bass and other native and non-native species can be found by diligent fishermen. Runoff with heavy metals, sent to Lake Coeur d'Alene by Silver Valley mining activity, compromises the health of some fish species.
At one time, raw human sewage went straight into the river, but since the late 1950s, the Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facility has been in place to handle the 34 million gallons of wastewater it now receives daily. Treated water, meeting state and federal standards, is released back into the river. Spokane County has a smaller facility in east Spokane. A series of large tanks being built around the city will help control phosphorus, PCBs and other substances found in stormwater that are harmful to the river.
The landscape around the falls has also been affected by the hand of man. Where natives once fished for salmon, white settlers erected timber and grain mills, laundries and waterworks. In 1890, Washington Water Power, now Avista Utilities, built an 18-foot-high spillway at the lower falls to create the water reservoir for the downtown generation plant. The thunderous sound in times of heavy runoff draws people to Huntington Park to feel the spray and power of the water.
In recent years, people have been enjoying the urban part of the river with nonmotorized travel between Upriver Dam and the Division Street bridge, aided by new access points like the McKinstry building and the Division Street bridge.

I'm throwing energy bars, running shoes, "author clothes," sample books, and 3-oz. travel containers of shampoo, sun block, and mouth wash into a rolling suitcase. I really don't have the time for this trip…and it won't do my budget any good. "This is nonsense!" I tell myself. "I should be staying home and writing." But I'll drag myself out of bed tomorrow morning at 3 a.m. in order to get to the airport for my crack-of-dawn flight. And I'll stay in a strange city for 5 days in spite of all of the arguments against making this trip.
Because there are a ton of really great reasons why writer's conferences are worth the time, expense, and inevitable travel annoyances. Let me share ten of them with you…
1) No matter how many writer's conferences I attend, I always learn something new that will help me write better or further my publishing career. Plus! Conferences are about the only way to meet literary agents, face-to-face, and pitch your book. (Eeeek!)
2) Attending a large, well-managed writer's conference energizes me and my muse. We NEED this time away from our comfort zone to recharge our creativity. I know I'll return home eager to plunge back into my WIP.
3) The writing community is a shockingly small world. Even if 2,000 people attend your chosen conference, you'll run into familiar faces and friends you met previous years. This social aspect is healthy and comforting when in a strange city. And besides, now you have a face to put to those emails you've been receiving from folks who love to read and write your kind of story.
4) Most conference attendees—whether writers, readers, literary agents, or publisher's acquiring editors—are friendly people. They come expecting to talk to others and share their knowledge. Now—how refreshing (and valuable) is that!
5) If you're taking writing classes and/or actively writing and submitting your stories for publication, you are justified in using travel expenses and conference fees as business-related expenses when you do your taxes. You don't even need to have sold your work, yet. You are preparing for a new career.
6) Writer's conferences usually take place in large, interesting cities. If you've ever wanted to visit the city where this year's conference is being held, this is a wonderful chance. At least some of your expenses will be offset at tax time, and conference organizers often arrange for fun side-trips—like ghost tours, history lectures, or group walking tours.
7) If you're an avid reader of a particular genre, but not actually writing, you may get a chance to meet some of your fave authors. Many conferences aren't just for authors. They're for anyone who appreciates their kind of story—whether it's mysteries, romances, thrillers, children's literature, or…whatever.
8) If you're a novice writer, you'll get to chat with others interested in what you're working on while you encourage other writers. And these conversations around the banquet table, in panel sessions, or in the bar will help you learn the ins and outs of the publishing biz.
9) Publishing is an ever-changing business. By attending conferences where the pros share their insight, authors have a better chance of keeping up with changes that could affect their careers. And readers get to enjoy being insiders!
10) Conferences are just plain fun! They offer stimulating conversation, time spent with other people who share your interest in writing and reading, plus—auctions, raffles, games, and (sometimes) Dessert Parties that are a chocoholic's paradise.
So next time you read in Writer's Digest about a writer's conference, or hear that a friend is attending one—give it serious thought. It may be just what you need to jump-start your writing, or introduce you to a new author you'd love to read. And if you're attending Bouchercon: The World Mystery Conference, September 15-19 in New Orleans, stop me and say "Hey!" because I'll be there, too. If I can just get this darn suitcase closed!

As the days get warmer, and summer approaches, the chil- dren seem to anticipate the nd of the school year. The
natives are getting restless! Whether you
take a three-month break for summer,
or teach year-round, it is good to have a
sense of completion. Acknowledge how
far you have come this year; celebrate together, and prepare to move forward into
the new school year with renewed vigor.
By the end of the school year, many
times our homeschools are just limping
along. Both kids and moms start sleeping in, and the school day somehow ends
earlier, as focus begins to wane. It's okay
to recognize this time for what it is: winding down for a time of relaxation before
the next big push for the new school
year. So, with the school year coming to
a close, how can we celebrate together?
The first question to answer is, when
are you going to end your school year?
How will you determine that you arefinished? This question may be harderthan it sounds. Do you have to completethe entire curriculum you started at thebeginning of the year? (If that's the case,most of us would never end the schoolyear!) Do you end when you havereached a certain number of school daysor when your child has reached an aca-demic goal or passed a test? Have a goalin mind, but give yourself and your chil-dren some grace. You can always pickup where you left off next school year,and most curricula spend the first partof the year reviewing old material any-way. Can you count one of your familytrips as a school field trip? I'm sure yourchildren learned something during thetrip! Don't cut your year short by anymeans, but make a realistic decision ofwhen you want to end, and stick to it!
Once you have decided when you aregoing to end school for the year, put it onthe calendar and let the children countdown the days! As the final weeks ap-proach, look over your school work.Are there any projects that are halfwaydone that you want finished (such as aState Notebook, a sewing project, or astory?) Are there any subjects that canbe dropped for now and picked up againnext school year? What subjects do youand your children want to focus on forthe last few weeks of school?Be sure to get some pictures of the kidsin their study environment for memory'ssake, especially if you are interested inmaking a memory book or photo col-lage. You'll never regret having picturesof your kids reading or studying, somake sure you sneak some in now if youhaven't earlier in the school year.Straighten out your papers andgrades. I, for one, am horrible aboutkeeping track of grades. I put all gradedtests and papers into a folder, and at theend of the year take them out, and re-cord them into a Word document. If youdon't have a way to keep track of grades,find one. There are many useful resour-ces out there for this. For those whodon't believe in grades (and I'm rightthere with you), create a Word docu-ment for each student and write abouttheir accomplishments that year. Didthey learn to read? What are they able todo in math? What books did they read?What projects did they work on or com-plete? This documentation will help youremember each year what each child hasaccomplished as well as reassure you as

The size is very small.It's uncomfortable to wear.
Does what it is supposed to do, but with great comfort. I sweat a lot when I am working out. This kept my eyes in the clear.
I would recommend this headband 4-stars
Good at absorbing the sweat
Comfortable fitting headband, sized well as expected and did the job perfectly to catch the sweat on my brow when indoor training on my road bike. Nothing I disliked or wanted to know before purchasing.
Very very small. It is more of a kids size. It did not fit at all. Not good.
tight fit, but might be because my old headband was stretched out
I'm not sure that I have a big head but this band is pretty tight. Additionally it is not quite as absorbent as I would like personally, but my workouts are 60 minutes. Towards the end of that time I start getting some dripping around my ears and down the back of my head.
Overall I'm satisfied with this product, and perhaps I'm an edge case of sweatiness.
I own five of these. I am a first degree black belt in Taekwondo and I wear these for practice since everyday hats are a no-go in uniform. They do exactly what I want: they catch sweat. More importantly they haven't started pilling after more than a dozen washes.
Das Stirnband passt sehr gut. Die Materialien fühlen sich sehr angenehm auf der Haut an. Rein optisch passt es super zu meiner Basketballkleidung.
I can't believe how small these are. My head size is 7 3/4. I'm sure the material is great and it works, but it needs to come in a larger size.

Greenbush - The Southeast Kansas Education Service Center has offered team-building activities using high and low ropes challenge elements for more than 20 years, but many times inclement weather has spoiled the fun. That all changes with the FlexPlex, an indoor facility that will allow visitors to participate in hands-on, high-flying team-building exercises year-round.
"Even if we have an unexpected storm, or if something happens that we didn't plan, now we will have something similar and equivalent, and we can still produce the same team-building we were looking for," said Amie Beggs, Team-Building and Leadership Coordinator.
The FlexPlex, built in a large portion of the warehouse adjoining the Community Building on the main Greenbush campus, features a 25-foot climbing wall and high ropes elements that can be modified to fit two activities. Construction is underway and slated for completion by the end of the month.
Greenbush offers team-building experiences to school groups, corporate groups, and any others looking for a unique way to build camaraderie and improve communication.
"The mission is to increase emotional intelligence—not IQ, but EQ," Beggs said. "The message I try to leave people with is, your point of view and the point of view of the person next to you might be totally different, and you can both be right. It's all about how you can communicate and come to a conclusion with one another."
Beggs said another goal is to show people that they are capable of more than they think.
"We try to give students and adults this feeling of, 'I can do more than I give myself credit for,'" Beggs said. "A smart risk can be a good way to build up that confidence."
In addition to the climbing wall, which features an automatic belay system as an added safety measure, the FlexPlex will include two ropes elements: the marionette climb and crate stacking.
In the marionette climb, a climber hoists themselves upward by putting their foot into an ever-higher series of looped ropes.
"There's a team of other participants on the ground that help hold the steps where they need to be, so it's really involved," Beggs said.
For the crate stacking activity, a climber works with their team to build a structure tall enough to reach a certain point.
"It's literally milk crates and you're trying to stack them as you're standing on them," Beggs said. "You're climbing on your own ability, but the team is handing you the crates and working with you. Eventually you're 20 feet in the air climbing around on these crates."
Community members wishing to be among the first to try the rock wall will have their chance at the FlexPlex Grand Opening, slated for March 16. Those interested in scheduling a group visit can contact Michael McCambridge, Director of Student Enrichment, at 620.724.6281 or email@example.com

Census FAQ
Find answers to common Census questions below. For additional information, visit the US Census Bureau's website. Find Palm Beach County specific facts here.
Every 10 years, the federal government conducts a population count of everyone in the United States. Data from the census provide the basis for distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to communities across the country to support vital programs—impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care, and public policy. They also are used to redraw the boundaries of congressional and state legislative districts and accurately determine the number of congressional seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Responding to the census is not only your civic duty; it also affects the amount of funding your community receives, how your community plans for the future, and your representation in government. Specifically, data from the 2020 Census are used to:
- Ensure public services and funding for schools, hospitals, and fire departments.
- Plan new homes and businesses and improve neighborhoods.
- Determine how many seats your state is allocated in the House of Representatives.
- Plan healthy food programs for low income housing.
The next census will take place in 2020. Beginning in mid-March, people will receive a notice in the mail to complete the 2020 Census. Once you receive it, you can respond online. In May, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin following up in person with households that haven't responded to the census.
When it's time to respond, most households will receive an invitation in the mail.
Every household will have the option of responding online, by mail, or by phone. In 2020, for the first time ever, the Census Bureau will accept responses online and by phone. Responding should take less time than it takes to finish your morning coffee. You can still respond by mail.
Depending on how likely your area is to respond online, you'll receive either an invitation encouraging you to respond online or an invitation asking you to go online to complete the census questionnaire.
Letter Invitation
- Most areas of the country are likely to respond online, so most households will receive a letter asking you to go online to complete the census questionnaire. Look for this letter on or between March 12-20.
Letter Invitation and Paper Questionnaire
- Areas that are less likely to respond online will receive a paper questionnaire along with their invitation. The invitation will also include information about how to respond online or by phone. Look for this letter on or between March 12-20.
YES! Counting young children is VERY important.
Newborn babies and young children under five are often missed in the census. The 2020 Census helps determine which areas qualify for the critical resources that children and families depend on for the next 10 years—basically, an entire childhood! Examples of resources that could be impacted include food assistance, Head Start, childcare, housing support, public schools, early intervention services for children with special needs, children's health insurance, and more. Knowing how many children there are and where they live is essential to getting those services and programs to them. That's why it's so important that every child be counted, even newborn babies. Here are some guidelines:
- Count children in the home where they live and sleep most of the time, even if their parents don't live there.
- If a child's time is divided between more than one home, count them where they stay most often. If their time is evenly divided, or you don't know where they stay most often, count them where they are staying on Census Day—April 1, 2020.
- If a child's family (or guardian) is moving during March or April 2020, count them at the address where they are living on April 1, 2020.
- Count children in your home if they don't have a permanent place to live and are staying in your home on April 1, 2020, even if they are only staying with you temporarily.
- Count newborn babies at the home where they will live and sleep most of the time, even if they are still in the hospital on April 1, 2020.
Questions? Call 561-742-6010.
The decennial census will collect basic information about the people living in your household. When completing the census, you should count everyone who is living in your household on April 1, 2020. Questions asked will include:
- How many people are living or staying at your home on April 1, 2020. This will help us count the entire U.S. population and ensure that we count people according to where they live on Census Day.
- Whether the home is owned or rented. This will help us produce statistics about homeownership and renting. The rates of homeownership serve as one indicator of the nation's economy. They also help in administering housing programs and informing planning decisions.
- About the sex of each person in your home. This allows us to create statistics about males and females, which can be used in planning and funding government programs. This data can also be used to enforce laws, regulations, and policies against discrimination.
- About the age of each person in your home. The U.S. Census Bureau creates statistics to better understand the size and characteristics of different age groups. Agencies use this data to plan and fund government programs that support specific age groups, including children and older adults.
- About the race of each person in your home. This allows us to create statistics about race and to provide other statistics by racial groups. This data helps federal agencies monitor compliance with anti-discrimination provisions, such as those in the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
- About whether a person in your home is of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin. These responses help create statistics about this ethnic group. This is needed by federal agencies to monitor compliance with anti-discrimination provisions, such as those in the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
- About the relationship of each person in your home. This allows the Census Bureau to create estimates about families, households, and other groups. Relationship data is used in planning and funding government programs that support families, including people raising children alone.
Governments, businesses, communities, and nonprofits all rely on the data that these questions produce to make critical decisions.
The Census Bureau will never ask for:
•Social Security numbers.
•Bank or credit card account numbers.
•Money or donations.
•Anything on behalf of a political party.
If someone claiming to be from the Census Bureau contacts you via email or phone and asks you for one of these things, it's a scam, and you should not cooperate. For more information, visit Avoiding Fraud and Scams.
Strict federal law protects your census responses. It is against the law for any Census Bureau employee to disclose or publish any census information that identifies an individual. Census Bureau employees take a lifelong pledge of confidentiality to handle data responsibly and keep respondents' information private. The penalty for wrongful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment for up to 5 years, or both. No law enforcement agency (not the DHS, ICE, FBI, or CIA) can access or use your personal information at any time. Data collected can only be used for statistical purposes that help inform important decisions, including how much federal funding your community receives.
The Census Bureau has a robust cybersecurity program that incorporates industry best practices and federal security standards for encrypting data. Learn more.

text: Los Angeles, CA - DENK gallery is pleased to present new works by Lynn Aldrich in O, Magnify, the artist's first solo exhibition with DENK and her first in Los Angeles since 2015. A conceptually motivated sculptor, Aldrich's works offer unexpected material propositions to the ordinary. Inspired by everyday household objects and "specimens" she's amassed on expeditions to local hardware stores, Aldrich's sourcing is not all that unlike a 19th-Century naturalist's penchant for in-field collecting, but with the natural milieus transposed for LA's suburban sprawl. Deliberated and planned rather than intuited, Aldrich's transformations of lowly, even empirically worthless, materials through ingenious though minimal, low-tech means, evoke everything from natural phenomena and commercial consumerism to spiritual longing.

Kuflink Review
In this Kuflink review we take a closer look at this peer to peer lending platform, to give you the important information you need to know BEFORE you invest!
We'll look at the different types of account Kuflink offer and the requirements for investing in each – these being the Select-Invest, Auto-Invest and IFISA accounts. You'll also find out how much interest you can expect to earn and whether your money will be safe with Kuflink.
Finally, Kuflink have a special 'cashback' offer available at the moment too. We'll give more details on this at the end of the review.
Let's start by giving you a little more info as to who Kuflink* are and how they got started.
Who Are Kuflink?
Kuflink Started life back in 2011 as a bridging loan provider to property investors.
In 2016, the company launched its peer to peer lending platform to help fund its lending activity. The platform quickly started receiving high profile awards from industry players like Moneyfacts and PropertyWire. In 2017 the company launched its Auto-Invest and Innovative Finance ISA products.
Kuflink are fully authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority and therefore comply with their strict regulations.
What Accounts Do Kuflink Offer?
Kuflink currently offer 3 different types of account for you to invest in. These are the Select-Invest, Auto-Invest and IFISA accounts.
All of the Kuflink accounts involve investing in UK property-backed loans.
The main difference between each of these accounts is the way in which you invest and the tax you pay on your investments. Let's briefly look at each of the accounts they offer to explain this further.
The Kuflink Select-Invest account
The Kuflink Select-Invest account* allows you to start investing from as little as £100.
This is Kuflink's most flexible account with monthly interest payments and short-term loan options on offer.
The key feature of the Select-Invest account is that with this account, you personally select which loan deals you would like to invest in.
Each potential loan will carry a different interest rate payable. They will also carry a risk rating from A-C, with A rated loans considered to carry the least risk.
Investors typically invest in loans of around 3-12 months in this account, but you can obviously find new loans to invest in as and when you want to.
There are no account management fees and you can currently earn up to 7.2% gross per annum.
The Kuflink Auto-Invest Account
The Kuflink Auto-Invest Account* allows you to take advantage of the interest rates on offer from Kuflink without having to pick your own loans to invest in.
Auto-Invest offers fixed rates of interest of between 5% and 7% per annum. The amount of interest you will receive will depend on whether you invest your money for a 1, 3 or 5 year period.
You can invest from just £100 and it only takes a few minutes to open an account online.
With the Auto-Invest account, Kuflink will diversify your investment across a range of UK property loans on your behalf.
As the Auto-Invest account is a fixed-term investment, you will not be able to access your initial capital until your account matures.
Interest is paid annually on the anniversary of your account opening. Interest is paid directly into your Kuflink account wallet.
The Kuflink Innovative Finance ISA
Last but certainly not least we have the Kuflink Innovative Finance ISA*.
This account offers all of the benefits of the Auto-Invest account but any interest you receive will be free from UK tax.
There are no platform or investment fees associated with the account and you can invest from just £100.
You can invest up to your £20,000 ISA limit each year tax-free. You can also transfer an existing ISA to Kuflink.
The Kuflink Innovative Finance ISA offers fixed rates of interest of between 5% and 7% per annum. The amount of interest you will receive will depend on whether you invest your money for a 1, 3 or 5 year period.
With their Innovative Finance ISA, Kuflink will diversify your investment across a range of UK property loans on your behalf.
As the Kuflink IFISA is a fixed-term investment, you will not be able to access your initial capital until your account matures.
Interest is paid annually on the anniversary of your account opening, directly into your Kuflink account wallet.
Who Can Invest With Kuflink?
Now that you know more about each type of account Kuflink offer, you may be wondering if you are eligible to open one?
The first thing you need to know is that you need to be 18 or over to open a Kuflink account*. You must also hold and maintain a UK bank account.
To be eligible for the Kuflink IFISA you must also be a permanent UK resident.
You can invest with Kuflink as an individual or as a company.
If you already hold a Cash ISA, Stocks and Shares ISA or another type of ISA then don't worry, you can still invest in a Kuflink Innovative Finance ISA too. Just be sure not to invest more than your ISA allowance across all your ISA accounts.
It's worth mentioning that you can only invest into one Innovative Finance ISA in each tax year.
Is Your Money Safe With Kuflink?
Hopefully this Kuflink review will have given you a better idea as to who kuflink are and how they work. But will your money be safe with Kuflink?
The first thing to mention here is that Kuflink accounts are investment accounts. This means that your capital is at risk with Kuflink. However, Kuflink have put certain measures in place to try and mitigate that risk.
Firstly, Kuflink proudly state on their website that no investor has ever lost money using their platform. While this cannot be guaranteed for the future, it is reassuring nonetheless.
Secondly, Kuflink also invest 5% into all loans on the platform. This means that if a loss were to occur, Kuflink would take the hit on the first 5%.
For Select-Invest investors there is further protection in that Kuflink is the only peer-to-peer platform in the UK to guarantee 20% of every loan.
Finally, as Kuflink take a charge in each of the properties they lend on, if there were to be a problem with a loan, they can take possession of and sell the property in question.
We should mention that – as IFISAs are investment ISAs – they are not eligible for FSCS protection.
If you have any further questions in this area then be sure to visit the FAQ page on the Kuflink website.
The Kuflink Cashback Offer
To encourage new investors to try out their platform, Kuflink have a great signup cashback offer available.
New investors who sign up with Kuflink online* and invest more than £1000 for a 12 month period will be eligible to receive up to 4% in cashback. The amount you will receive will depend on how much you invest and is tiered as follows:
- 2.5% cashback for £1000-£5000 investments
- 3% cashback for £5000.01-£25,000 investments
- 3.5% cashback for £25,000.01-£50,000 investments
- 3.75% cashback for £50,000.01-£99.999.99 investments
- 4% cashback for £100,000 investments
Cashback is capped at £4,000 and will be paid on the 12 month anniversary of your investment. You must stay invested for the entire period.
This cashback offer also applies to ISA transfers.
(T&C's apply)

Sometimes a restaurant surprises you, and in the case of Tyler Point Grille, I mean that in a very good way. I really had no expectations, positive or negative, while planning to dine at the Tyler Point Grille in Barrington this month. I hadn't been to the restaurant in years and knew that there was a new owner and chef, so it was kind of like a clean slate anyway. The menu posted online looked fine, but like a book by its cover, you can't judge a restaurant by a PDF file alone. A group of us gathered on a Friday night at the restaurant, which is almost hidden by its surroundings among the boatyards and the Barrington Yacht Club at the end of Tyler Point. It's a great central location and I would imagine during the summer months it could be tough to get near the place on a nice day.
Naturally for a restaurant in the middle of boatyards and a marina, the look of the place was sailing themed. There were all the usual nautical motifs and artwork, with a rather fun sea mural on the wall behind the well-stocked bar – a bar that was busy when we entered and still busy when we left. We were verycheerfully greeted and shown to a table right away.
The menu is a mix of New England American/Italian dishes with traditional seafood fare. While the wine list didn't excite me, there were some great craft brews on draft and we settled on beers before making our menu choices. We passed on the raw bar selections, wanting to see how the place fared with traditional Rhode Island seafood dishes liked Fried Calamari ($10) and Baked Littlenecks ($9). The littlenecks, which we were expecting to be prepared like clams casino, were actually more like small stuffies, with a whole littleneck on the half-shell baked with pancetta and bread crumbs. They were excellent and we wished we had more.
The calamari was a standout. There are way too many sub-standard platters of fried calamari out there in the Rhode Island restaurant landscape. Often I've had calamari that was greasy, or rubbery or lacking in any real flavor. This was a perfectly fried platter of calamari, light and crisp, served with a generous amount of hot peppers. We were off to a great start and it was probably good for our health to have our salads next.
For dinner we tried a number of dishes. There was the Stuffed Sole ($23), Linguine with Clams ($18), Mini Rigatoni ($18) and the evening's risotto (price varies). The dishes came to our table, and we passed plates around to get a taste of everything. We couldn't actually decide which dish we liked best, as all of them were very well done.
The Stuffed Sole was the most unique of the plates. The sole itself was done traditionally, stuffed with lump crab meat, spinach and panko bread crumbs. The filets were beautifully rolled and cooked and were very moist and flaky. The interesting part was the Limoncello cream sauce. It was good, but perhaps just a touch sweeter than expected. Thankfully, the dish isn't swimming in cream sauce – it's nicely sauced so that you can get as much or as little of it as you'd like. We all liked it, but in varying intensities.
The Linguine with Clams – my friend ordered white clam sauce – is another one of those Rhode Island dishes that can be so badly prepared. Other than perhaps wanting a little more salt and pepper, which is an easy enough fix, the whole table loved it. One friend was thrilled with the whole cloves of garlic and how perfectly browned they were. The dish tasted great with a nice mix of chopped clams and several whole clams in their shell. We all noted how the pasta was just the right al dente texture, which was also true for the Mini Rigatoni dish.
The Mini Rigatoni came with grilled chicken, veal sausage, tomatoes and toasted panko bread crumbs, in a Parmesan Marsala cream sauce. This was a straightforward, delicious pasta dish. The panko added some nice crunch and the veal sausage slices were very flavorful. The Mini Rigatoni probably would have been devoured like everything else, except my wife wanted to take some home for the next day. The risotto may have been the least favorite at the table, but not because it wasn't good. Again, like the pastas, the rice was perfectly cooked. It was a goat cheese risotto and tasted like it was finished with cream as well, which just made it a little heavier than most of us liked.
We really were stuffed by the end, but in the effort of good reviewing, we ordered Cannoli (which our server said were made in-house) and the Red Velvet Cake. Both were excellent desserts, though the house-made Cannoli was certainly the better of the two. Speaking of our server, she couldn't have been more attentive and helpful, especially as we asked tons of questions about the dishes while making our decisions.
The Tyler Point Grille turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. It's conveniently located, with good food and I would happily recommend it, especially if you're tired of being served sub-par seafood classics.

Meet Chelsea.
Chelsea Stirling has become an integral member of the company in the three years since she first joined Solink. Chelsea has not only found her passion for helping others, but since coming to Solink, she feels like she has "found her people". Chelsea shared some valuable advice for women looking to jump into the tech industry, as well as some insight into why she loves working here so much. Learn how Chelsea found her own secret to success.
What is your job title?
I am the Director of Customer Success.
Tell us a bit about your career path, and how you got to where you are now.
I have an atypical career path in tech. I got lucky and got a job on a tier-one help desk with a political party when I was in my third year of university and basically refused to leave! Once I found nerd culture and got into the tech industry, I knew I had found my people. From there, it was a matter of writing down everything and saying yes–no matter how much it scared me. While my degree is in Communications and English, I now have a good baseline of technical skill from on-the-job learning.
How does working at Solink help you advance your career or skills?
Solink IS my career–everything before it feels like a dress rehearsal. Solink, and specifically our CEO and CFO, have trusted me to do what I know. Solink considers the quality of your work first and foremost. Seniority or what you have done on paper is not as important as what you can do in real life. Being given the resources and support I need is what helps me continue pushing boundaries.
What do you like about working on/with the Solink customers?
Solink customers are the best. Full stop. I've never experienced such a hard working clientele. The people who are attracted to the Solink platform are savvy business people who like to work harder and smarter. I feel lucky to spend my days working with Solink clients.
What do you like about working in the Customer Success department?
I love the camaraderie that comes with solving hard problems. Our Customer Success department touches so many different aspects of the customer experience. Whether it's onboarding, training, troubleshooting, audits, or investigations, we encounter a wide scope of challenges. Working through these together, makes you feel like you are in the trenches side by side. It's a really amazing experience.
Is there anything hard about being a woman in the tech industry?
I have worked in IT and tech for the past 8 years and I have definitely found myself in some tough situations. I wont dance around it, sexual harassment is something pretty much all women experience in some capacity, but working in a male dominated field can make things especially difficult. Having to worry about it takes energy away from our ability to perform to our fullest capacity. Another issue I've encountered is being questioned in ways that a male colleague would not be. Women in predominately male spaces often find their expertise or ability to handle a situation is up for debate. There's also a bias towards "traditional masculine" ways of doing business and solving problems. I'll stop here and say that Solink specifically is a wonderfully inclusive and safe space–a real breath of fresh air.
For you, what makes a team or workplace feel like it really invites and welcomes gender diversity?
Having those in leadership positions be strong advocates of women in general–in the family or in the workspace–is extremely important. Valuing women in whatever role they play, from an entry-level position to the C-suite, and allowing their work to shine, is something Solink does really well. As long as we keep striving to be more inclusive, we will be.
Any advice for other women looking to grow their career in tech?
Tell everyone what you want–friends, family, coworkers…everyone. Have no shame in starting at the bottom. Say yes. Ask questions. Ask them again if you don't understand the answer. Try to lean into feeling uncomfortable. The more comfortable you can get with being uncomfortable the better. You are building your tolerance, keep pushing.
It's ok to not know what you are doing. It's also ok to know exactly what you are doing and not be shy about it. Be kind to other women in your space. We are conditioned to feel that other women are competition, but if we see each other as allies I think that sets us up to win.

Beehive Arson in Texas Kills Half a Million Bees
Bludgeoned, again my heart is bludgeoned by egregious acts, senseless deeds, tragic stunts that show a certain type of human believes that if he can't live his life his way, everything and everyone else's life is forfeited as well.
This is what I say to you.
Get help.
Leave the rest of us alone.
"Place a beehive on my grave
And let the honey soak through.
When I'm dead and gone,
That's what I want from you.
The streets of heaven are gold and sunny,
But I'll stick with my plot and a pot of honey.
Place a beehive on my grave
And let the honey soak through."
― Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

Growing up in the Indian culture, it's not often easy to take the leap as a solo female traveler. However, over the last couple of decades there has been a surge of women who are independent-thinkers, wanderlust seekers, and high achievers. So if traveling brings a smile to your face, empower yourself to take that first step in the world of solo traveling because once you start, my friends, your happy feet will not be able to stop!
Let me show you how:
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" - Neale Donald Walsch
Weekend Getaway
Taking baby steps is a sure shot way of gaining confidence. Book a quick journey to a beach, resort or coffee estate near your home city. Away from the humdrum of daily life, this will help you slow down and spend time with yourself, read a book, and watch the waves! Need some ideas?
- Bangalore: Bandipur, Mysore, Chikamagalur are within 5 hours of the city.
- Mumbai: Lonavala, Pune, Kamshet, Nasik are within 200 kms
- Delhi: Rishikesh, Bharatpur, Corbett are within 6 hours
- Kolkata: Digha, Shankarpur, Mayapur are within 150 kms
Tip: Book a place with public transport connectivity so that you don't have to stress about driving alone. Many resorts offer to pick you up from the nearest bus stop/railway station/airport. In-House options like boating, massages, city tours, estate walk will fill your days.
WOW moment:
Experience the monsoons in Goa through an upcoming WOW trip as you indulge in "me" time chasing the sunset, enjoying the waves, and exploring the beaches in Goa. Do things that you love for you are entitled to your own happiness.
"If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it's lethal" - Paulo Coelho
Adventure Travel
My Brave-Hearts, this is your true test of taking a leap literally! Adventure sports are the biggest trend today and travelers are indulging in Bungee Jumping, Sky Diving, Paragliding, Scuba diving, Surfing among others. The coolest part is that you don't need a trip to New Zealand or Europe for such activities anymore because India has made great strides in the last decade. Here are some courses you could sign up for:
- Scuba Diving in the coral reefs of Andaman & Nicobar islands
- Paragliding the skies of Bir Billing (Himalayas) or Kamshet (near Pune)
- Surfing the southern beaches of Mangalore and Kanyakumari
- White Water Rafting in Rishikesh
Tip: If you love trying out new things and are outdoorsy, this one's for you. These are specialized courses that require no prior experience. If it helps, remember that most participants will share the same level of apprehension and anxiety.
WOW moment:
Feel the thrill as you soar the skies of Bir Billing and face the Himalayas in the next WOW paragliding trip. Be bold, and take the plunge!
"Traveling allows you to become so many different versions of yourself" - Unknown
Solo Group Travel
A unique concept that is fun, safe and, must I say, the most hassle-free. Experienced travelers/companies plan everything from dates, places, itinerary and and all you need to do is show up! Most of these travel with smaller groups of 15-20 travelers so that it is less about ticking the box and more about exploration. This is a great way to make new friends, create long-lasting memories and travel to expensive countries and regions.
Tip: Try and find a common theme you can relate with based on age, gender or hobbies, for example under 30's travel group, women traveling tours, bird-watching tours. This will help you be yourself yet learn from others around you.
WOW moment
Find yourself right in the middle of this white paradise in WOW's signature Antartica trip. Penguins, glaciers, and snow awaits - who are you waiting for?
"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware" - Martin Buber
Spiritual Travel
Spiritual journeys can awaken your mind, body and soul. These journeys can be life-transforming as they form deep connections with oneself, nature and people around. The different forms are Yoga retreats, Wellness retreats, Vipassana, or even a trek to the mountains. Explore retreats in Asia including India, Thailand and Bali so that you find the right blend of East meeting West. For those eager to broaden their horizon, these journeys open up a new door of opportunity.
Tip: Places tucked in nature are highly recommended as they help soak the experience at a whole different level! For options in India, consider starting your spiritual journey in Kerala, Uttarakhand, Dharamsala, or Rishikesh where the mountains and rivers will be one with you.
WOW moment:
Spirituality can have more forms that sitting and meditating. Join WOW for the Har ki dun trip in Uttarakhand where you trek the mountains and soak the beauty to experience spirituality. Challenge yourself to a new perspective starting now.
"Oh, the places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss
Experiential Travel
This is my favorite kind of travel! A new continent, country, culture is a completely immersive experience if you choose to soak in it. If the thought of local art, history, and most importantly food brings a twinkle in your eye, then there's no time to think twice. If you enjoy collecting diverse memories and experiences, then you will not be disappointed.
Tip: Research. Once you have a destination in mind, travel blogs and websites, friends/acquaintances who lived or have lived there can be a great source of help. It's also very important to check if you are visiting a place in the right season as that can make or break your vacation. Although, don't forget to pen down those experiences and send me a copy once you're back!
WOW moment:
Party in Ropongi, soak in the energy of Takeshita street and do it all in some very colourful Kimonos! Someone once said "It's bad manners to keep a vacation waiting." Don't you agree?
Traveling is my favorite teacher. In two years of my recent traveling experience, I stepped into a world filled with confident women bitten by the travel-bug. They did not look back to see if they were 25 or 60 years, single or married, had professional careers or not. They looked ahead to seek happiness, push their limits and open up their hearts. So did I, and it was beautiful!
A recent WOW group to Ladakh. Enjoy travelling solo with the safety and bonding of a group of like-minded travellers

Saturn's Hip Little Hatchback
From BusinessWeek.com: As gasoline prices continue to soar, U.S. drivers will probably start buying more small, European-style cars. The new Saturn is virtually identical to the Continental European Opel Astra, the British Vauxhall Astra, and the Australian Holden Astra. That's a good thing when it comes to handling.

On this day in Lewis & Clark history...
Four men are sent to retrieve cached meat. About 25 miles from the fort, a band of Indians steals their horses. They return to the fort very late in the evening, and Lewis organizes 20 men to set out in pursuit.
From the journals...
Thursday 14th.
Four men set out early with the horses and sleds to bring home our meat; and had gone down about 25 miles when a party of Indians (they did not know of what nation) came upon them and robbed them of their horses one of which they gave back, and went off without doing the men any further injury. The same night the men came back and gave information of what had happened. At midnight Captain Lewis called for twenty volunteers who immediately turned out.
