Every year I like to review my reading activity over the year and square it against any set goals. This year, I read precisely 150 books, which was exactly my goal! Here's a little retrospective on my year in reading.
simple math
Some graphs, for the people who come here for my book graphs. Here's how many books I read by month.
And then cumulative pages over time.
There are some pretty clear plateaus around some deadlines and busy travel I had, which I marked off. Obviously, I can't spend all my time reading,1 but I feel like I maintained a pretty even slope of pages accumulation aside from those breaks.
You can also maybe tell when I started my 45-minutes-each-way internship commute, which I got through with strong support from audiobooks. I like my audiobooks to be either: narrated by the author or nonfiction written in a casual, straightforward style (i.e. business books), and this year I exhausted many of my library's online audiobook offerings.
subject matter
Because I read ebooks, physical books, and audiobooks, I was pretty curious about how that split plays out across book type:
Most of my audiobooks were nonfiction, but a few were fiction (and they were very enjoyable!). I think podcasts have trained me to enjoy a well-read nonfiction audiobook, which conveniently allows me to read a lot of books I meant to read but couldn't make reading priority for.
I didn't listen to any poetry audiobooks, which is a bummer because I really love poetry readings, especially when poems are read by the author. I discovered one of my favorite poets, Jenny Zhang, on a podcast where she read a poem, and would really like to enjoy more poetry that way; so please let me know if you have any favorite poetry audiobooks, especially read by the author!!
Looking at a split across genres, I'm pretty happy with the distribution (mostly expected, but a pretty long tail of genres here!):
Some new-to-me genres:
- romance, which started as a free-KFC-themed-romance-novel joke but is looking to become a growing part of my reading distribution in 2018
- children's, which started as a "picked up an interesting book in the bookstore and turns out children's books are really easy to read fast" but has become my new strategy for vetting presents for my little cousins and nieces and nephews
- philosophy, which it turns out feels very accessible when presented via audiobook
This graph was not something I would have planned to include of my own volition, but it was suggested to me by Voyager, the Vega-based tool I used to generate all these graphs and I thought it was kind of interesting. According to the visualization, I read many long fiction books, but I also read some long non-fiction too, which is hard for me so good job to me! The three longest nonfiction books I read were Hillary Clinton's HARD CHOICES and WHAT HAPPENED, and Steven Levy's HACKERS2. The three longest fiction books I read were THE GOLDFINCH by Donna Tartt, THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES by Tom Wolfe, and NIGHT FILM by Marisha Pessl.
good and bad
Here's the distribution of how much I enjoyed these books.
I read a bunch of good books and some bad ones. Even though there are more poor books on this list than past years, it's worth noting that only 5% of books were lower than 3 stars, and 17% were 5 stars which I consider the "amazing perfect put this book in everyone's hands".
Something notable compared to prior years doing this book retrospective is that I really shirked use of the book logging tools I'd created in past years. As a result, there's a bit less data to "consider" than usual. A few challenges came up: I'm not always by my computer, sometimes I really want to add a book from my phone, during my internship I had tons of idle time but didn't feel like downloading all of my little scripts and services to putz with book lists on my work machine.
There is also some types of resistance in maintaining these lists that I am still working out how to reconcile: a preponderance of services for managing different library book lists, comparing those lists with books I already have, coming up with a simple and portable way to add books that I hear about in different situations (at a book reading, in the middle of another book, etc). It seems that Goodreads is the grudging solution3 but I am toying with ways to make my life managing the never ending deluge of written word easier in some ways.
how i did it
When I tell people who are not as aggressive of readers "oh, I just reached my goal of reading 150 books!" they often respond incredulously, so here are some thoughts on "how did I do that":
There aren't really any secrets on "how to read more" except, well, read more. For instance, if you get carsick on a long bus commute you can listen to audiobooks. If you are waiting in a long coffeeshop line you can open Kindle on your phone instead of Twitter or e-mail. These are hacks, but I get most of my reading done in 2-3 hour windows on the couch with blankets and many cups of coffee or tea.
Short story collections take longer for me to read than novels because the natural break makes me want to stop reading far earlier than I probably could have sustained.
Poetry is the worst in "time to read a page" because I like to really sit with a poem, not just gloss over it and think about them all in a whole batch at the end4.
Towards the end of my year, when I realized work and travel had left me straggling on my goal, I read a lot of slim novels that had few dots on the Kindle counter – I don't think this is cheating per se, and I don't regret reading the shorter books I selected, but I wish it hadn't felt so cheap to prioritize them on December 30th and 31st.
some of my favorites
Intrepid blog readers already know that I've been making notes on the books I read in quarterly-ish posts (one, two, three), so if you're curious on my thoughts on any specific book you can find them there.
That being said, a fun party trick is to say "Hey, have you read this book? It's so good, I really loved it and I think you will too, I really can't recommend it highly enough" and then ghost, because it's basically like a goodbye with homework and they can't even be upset with you later because then they will have revealed themselves as contacting you before doing their required reading. So here are some new-ish books that I found myself recommending a lot after reading this year:
Caucasia, Danzy Senna
Chemistry, Weike Wang
Difficult Women, Roxane Gay
Electric Arches, Eve Ewing
Exit West, Mohsin Hamid
Faces in the Crowd, Valeria Luisella
Ghachar Ghochar, Vivek Shanbhag
Human Acts, Han Kang
Miss Burma, Charmaine Craig
No One Can Pronounce My Name, Rakesh Satyal
One Day We'll All Be Dead, Scaachi Koul
Sour Heart, Jenny Zhang
Tender Points, Amy Berkowitz
The Idiot, Elif Batuman
The Sympathizer, Viet Thanh Nguyen
Too Much and Not the Mood, Durga Chew-Bose
what's next
My Goodreads friends will know that I have set another 150 book goal this year, but I'm ambivalent about achieving it for two reasons: pacing and goals.
Pacing: I did a poor job pacing last year, which resulted in me coasting along with about 15 books in the last 4 days of 2017. I read them, but pretty quickly, even when I wanted to spend more time savoring them5. I'm on track to do about as poorly this year6, so I would like to use my quarterly book review posts as a time to catch up to my goal pace as well.
Goals: One thing I did to quickly rack up books towards the end of my goal was google "Best Short Books You Can Read in A Day" which I ended up reading in 2-3 hours each. Some of these books were great, some I had been meaning to read and others were happy surprises, so that's not to say I'm not happy about this. But a new book showed up in my local book store that's 1,660 pages long and I really want to read it! And I recently met an Important Literary Person who asked me if I had read This Classic Book and That Classic Book and I hadn't read them, not for any lack of wanting to but just I hadn't gotten around to it. Implictly, I feel like the only reason to really read 150 books per year is to read the really good ones - but if I actively miss them because I'm reading whatever's available from the library when I'm waiting to board a plane7, I don't think I'm using my effort towards this goal wisely.
Now that I know that 150 books per year is within reach8, I would like to be more deliberate with my reading goals and tackle some things that I have mentioned in past retrospectives but never truly formalized.
Reading Goals in 2018:
Read 20 physical books (at least)
Read 10 nonfiction books (at least)
Read 10 poetry collections (at least)
The things that are easy for me: new fiction, books by authors I already love, audiobook celebrity memoirs, will likely fill themselves in around the gaps. But it's been almost a year since I last went to the Friends of the Seattle Public Library where every book is a dollar and I've read embarrassingly few of the books I acquired. So I'm going to use what I have and push my reading comfort instead of greedily placing many books on hold at the library!
the list
Here's the full list, if that's what you're looking for. My friend Mikey put together a gorgeous 2017 reading retrospective, which, after seeing, left me no choice but to shamelessly adapt his organizational structure.

This is actually non-obvious to me. ↩
Which was so dry it took like 3 years to work up the emotional energy to churn through. ↩
I actually prefer doing both? Like I'll sit with a poem a day, then I'll do a big batch skimming of the whole series to figure out my general impression. But I have very little background in reading poetry so this could be wrong too??? ↩
Now I have a new note on my phone called "BOOKS TO SAVOR LATER". ↩
Goodreads tells me I'm already 3 books behind. ↩
This is a little unfair because I would say the majority of the books I read are good books, that I want to read for some reason or another, but I also have a note on my phone of books to read that's like over 1000 books deep, so I shouldn't really be waffling around here. ↩
Some may ask "are you really going to read 150 books every year?!" to which I respond: if I read 150 books a year for the next 20 years, I will read 3,000 books, which is twice the length of my current-to-read list and accommodates all the amazing new writing that will come out in the next 20 years that I haven't yet put on my list :P ↩

As you can see from the graph, Westport CT has been slightly quicker to gain momentum this year. We had a few tough months last fall with severe storms, but that has not affected the sales totals for the first two months of this year. It will be very interesting to see if the trends are to bring those numbers up even more as we move into the spring market.
The most recent ranking of the nation's high schools published by U.S. News & World Report distinguished Connecticut with 11 gold medal schools, 24 silver medal schools, and 4 bronze medal schools. Of the top 10 best high schools listed, half were in the 26th district. Weston, Ridgefield, Wilton, Joel Barlow, Darien, New Canaan, and Staples High School were recognized.

As the Christmas period is over and January 2010 begins you might think that the video game industry would slow down a little having spent all of its big releases in the run up to the festive season. However, if you check out the list of all the great games that are set to be released this month you might change your mind.
This is a very exciting release for fans of violence, action and supernatural witches with guns. Created by the team behind the hugely popular Devil May Cry series, Bayonetta follows the trials and tribulations of a sexy demon-slayer as she battles the forces of evil with every conceivable weapon. Expect to see big boss battles, massive blades, incredible special moves and more than a little bare skin. A thoroughly Japanese game that will certainly satisfy fans of Manga and action. Bayonetta will be hitting the PS3 and the Xbox 360 in January.
Army of Two: The 40th Day
The original Army of Two was a surprise hit when it was released in 2008 and the sequel promises more co-operative action and bloodshed. This time the setting has shifted to China, as our two foul-mouthed heroes attempt to solve a mystery using their brawn and a ton of bullets. The Army of Two experience relies on getting help from your playing partner and it will be interesting to see how the experience translates into the portable version game for the PSP. Although not a particularly revolutionary experience, it is at least refreshing in its brutality and its retro sensibilities. And it does not take itself as seriously as the conveniently similar Gears of War series. Also available for PS3 and Xbox 360.
No other game in history has invited the player to take up the role of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but Darkriders does just that. Rather than the slightly trippy game that this description suggests, Darkriders is going to be a more traditional action-RPG game that will see you killing monsters and investigating dungeons.
Dark Void
Dark Void incorporates over the shoulder shooting action, a vague sci-fi setting and some aerial combat sections into a package that could help plug the gap between Gears of War games. A new cover system that encourages you to keep your eyes on the skies as well as ahead of you will hopefully keep things different enough and since it is being published by Capcom you are assured of a certain level of competency in the level design and control implementation.
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero
Whilst Resident Evil 4 is considered to be the finest iteration of the popular survival horror series on the Gamecube, Zero had the most interesting puzzle-solving mechanic. This remake for the Wii will cover all of the same ground as the original but with some motion-sensitive controls added in for good measure. With the player controlling two characters and the difficulty ratcheted up this can be a rather terrifying experience and for fans of the series it expands upon the back story of one established character whilst introducing a brand new one to get your teeth into.
SOCOM: US Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo 3
Despite the over-long name, this is a fairly simple game at its heart. It is all about leading a group of your mates into battle against other foes online. With a plot about WMDs tacked on to keep things semi-relevant, this game is mostly about action and tactics as you and your fellow players attempt to co-ordinate and outflank the enemy.
Mass Effect 2
From the creators of some of the best RPGs of the past decade comes Mass Effect 2. The first game in the series stirred up controversy for its depiction of sex, but anyone who actually played the game would have become thoroughly immersed in its complex world, compelling storyline and intuitive gameplay. Expect more of the same from the sequel. The trailer is currently playing in cinemas and it is suitably cinematic. Few other games have the ambition and scope of Mass Effect 2 and it will probably eat up a lot of your time when it emerges for Xbox 360 and PC at the end of January.
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Whilst Street Fighter 4 has been wowing PS3 and Xbox 360 owners with its HD graphics and 3D character models, Capcom have taken the graphical limitations of Nintendo's console onboard for this latest title. It features tons of characters, many of whom you will never have heard of and an old-school approach to fighting that will baffle some. Expect to be reaching for your Gamecube or Classic controller to make the most of this game.

Using the Tools of Pollution Prevention to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
September 2009
Citation: 39 ELR 10851
Issue: 9
Our public debate about policy to combat climate change sometimes seems limited to a choice between trading and taxes. Yet, there are other tools of governance that could be more actively examined. The problem of global warming is so big that we should be actively pursuing a "full-toolbox" approach of doing everything we can, and considering how each strategy can be synergistically implemented in concert with other strategies. This Article argues for greater attention to a suite of tools successfully used to promote pollution prevention: assistance, planning, and expanded right to know reporting. These tools employ a mode of governance that may be termed "relational," where government complements traditional enforcement with efforts to encourage self-responsibility and enlist collaboration with willing members of the regulated community. That community is not a homogeneous group, but is composed of many different entities presenting a great variety of motivations and capacities. A full-toolbox, relational approach can more powerfully control risks and harness the potential for creative solutions, fostering not just environmental progress but also building the social and intellectual capital necessary for the technological and economic advancement that will most effectively solve our problems. The pollution prevention (P2) movement provides examples of how we might best use government to mobilize resources to address global warming.

A March They Will Never Forget
On Thursday, January 21st, 2016, youth and young adults from Chicago began an adventure of the rarest kind. The "Crusaders for Life" participate in the March for Life in Washington, D.C. every year, but this year would be different.
In the days preceding the trip, Father Nathan Caswell made a few remarks to the Crusaders at a planning meeting. He encouraged the youth to "Be present in a special way," on the trip, emphasizing that "…when we go all out, when we really die to ourselves, we allow others to come out of themselves, too." From the beginning, he and the other leaders set this challenge before the Crusaders: "Whoever loses his life for My sake will save it" (Luke 9:24)
However, as the 165 participants prepared for the trip in the following days, news of winter storm Jonas began to spread. Would they be able to go? The weather warnings loomed, the storm threatened to dump as much as two feet of snow on Friday night. Word came from organizers in D.C.: "The March for Life will not be cancelled." Projected departure for home seemed promising. They would be just ahead of the storm.
The decision was made to go ahead. On Thursday morning after early Mass, 2 priests, 2 brothers, 160 youth and young adults from St. John Cantius in Chicago, St. Peter in Volo, and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy in Rockford loaded onto three buses.

IT consultancy puts its own house in order with Snow
"We are delighted we completed our Microsoft true-up in just two weeks, previously it took three months"
SAM Hero, Sean Magner, SAM Consultant, Datacom
Datacom is a privately owned IT service based in New Zealand, with offices in Australia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Datacom employs 4,880 people and was the first Kiwi IT firm to hit $NZ1 billion ($740m) in annual sales.
Datacom delivers Software Asset Management services to its clients in New Zealand and across Asia with many of those clients using Snow. The company felt it ought to practice what it preached and deploy the Snow Platform to bring its own software estate into compliance and manage costs. A Group CIO was recently appointed to drive this SAM initiative, and Snow was installed in mid-2016.
Datacom has seen rapid growth in recent years and inherited a mish-mash of Microsoft agreements from a clutch of Australian acquisitions. When Microsoft came up for renewal in March, Datacom consolidated its agreements. Time savings were considerable, with the true-up process taking two weeks instead of three months. Snow has also helped keep a lid on costs during Datacom's dizzying pace of expansion.
Download the full case study here
Datacom's rapid pace of expansion had created a sprawling software estate of some 10,000 applications provided by 3,500 vendors. The software used by its 1,500 developers was proving particularly tricky to manage. However, Datacom's immediate concern was a clutch of disparate Microsoft contracts – a legacy from its many acquisitions.
Snow was the only choice to help the company achieve this – after all, it advises clients that Snow is the best solution in the market. Software License Manager, Snow Inventory and Software Recognition Service were rolled out.
Using Snow internally obviously deepens product knowledge and helps Datacom take its customer service to the next level. "We use Snow as a test bed," says Sean Magner, SAM Consultant at Datacom. "And Sales uses it for demos. We go, 'Look, this is Datacom's actual data. This is what our environment looks like.' This gives our clients and potential clients great confidence in the product – and in us."
Datacom's agreements with Microsoft came up for renewal. "Snow helped us identify what we had," Magner explains, "and what our actual usage environment looked like." He used Snow to consolidate Datacom's patchwork of Microsoft agreements under a single EA.
Magner is looking to leverage Snow across the company as well as build out his reporting structure. "Security isn't using Snow yet," he explains, "although with [the cyber attack] WannaCry we did use the Snow script." Did this help identify who had not been on the network to get that patched? "It did, yes. So we had some benefit out of that."
Magner believes savings and cost avoidance around Visio and Project as well as Snow's help in getting the right usage mix around Office 365 E1/E5 have helped contain costs.
The biggest single benefit Snow has brought is visibility.
"I've used a lot of solutions over the years," says Magner. "Some do discovery really well, some do inventory very well, but not a lot are good at normalization. That leaves you constantly massaging and pulling all the data in and applying weird little rules around to identify what's part of a bundle or what's not."

Funerals and Memorial Services
Funeral Services are held at St Mary's for anyone who lives in the parish, or who worships regularly at the University Church. Arrangements can also be made in consultation with the relevant Chaplain for those who are members of one of the constituent colleges and permanent private halls of the University of Oxford.
Memorial Services
After the death of a family member, friend or colleague, it may seem appropriate to have a service celebrating that person's life and work – a memorial service, or, as it is sometimes termed, a service of thanksgiving. The University Church provides a suitable setting for such a service and the clergy will provide you with every assistance in making the arrangements.

During the lab we will use the Zolertia Z1 platform for the study of wireless sensornetworks. One can download the appropriate virtual machine for fast developping from the Contiki website (Instant Contiki). This virtual machine (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, username: user, password: user) is already set up with the MSP430-GCC compiler (version 4.7.0). This virtual machine runs with VMWare Player. It is also possible - only for Linux experts - to download only the necessary installation script (link) for the MSP430-GCC compiler. Follow the instructions within the shell script.
introduction document
Introduction slides
During the first lab, we will discover the Contiki operating system alongside with the Zolertia Z1 platform. Download the latest version of Contiki and extract it to a workfolder. One can find examples of applications in the example folder. During the labs, we will use the examples provided in the subfolder "IPv6". in order to understand how Contiki works, we will start from the examples provided in the introduction document. More information can be found on the Zolertia Wiki.
In the first lab we discovered the Zolertia Z1 motes. The next step is to enable communication between the nodes and a remote server. The first substep is to tackle the outgoing communication and incoming communication on the node itself. The communication stack we will use is IPv6 (6LoWPAN) based and uses the UDP protocol. The architecture of the network will also be presented. In the last step, a complete network will be build and a remote UDP server application will take care of the packtet exchanges. All the necessary steps are explained in the introduction document provided on the link above.
During the last lab we will continue investigating the packets sent in the network. We will also demonstrate the graph (topology) that is build up during the configuration of the wireless sensornetwork.

Sexy Natural Curly 360 Wig Hot 180% Density Virgin Brazilian Good Quality Affordable Wig [BTW08]
- Product Review (submitted on December 9, 2017):
- I looooove this wig! First, the shipping was incredibly fast! It showed up to my house before the estimated delivery date. Now, the actual wig itself is so good. The hairline on the lace is beautiful, it's pre-plucked and doesn't need much work at all. The knots bleached nicely and the hair pattern in gorgeous. I like it so much, I just bought another one. You really can't go wrong with this wig.

Over the last few months we've been on tour. We stepped outside our digital bubble to champion the accounting profession and talk about the importance of financial skills. From attending a debate at the European Parliament to talking to parents at an East London school, we've spoken to a range of people. Here's a summary of the various places we've visited.
Stop one: The Associations World Congress, Vienna
In Vienna we shared our expertise on designing and delivering online learning with representatives from a broad range of professional associations and businesses.
We answered lots of questions about how we did it and about you, our learners. We are now actively engaged on a number of future collaborations.
Stop two: Accountex – National Accountancy Exhibition and Conference, London
This was a great chance to meet lots of accountancy professionals in one place.
We were able to demonstrate how ACCA does good things and show how ACCA-X has delivered life-changing opportunities for young people around the world.
Stop three: The Business Show – The UK's largest business exhibition, London
We met business owners, entrepreneurs, accountancy students and general go-getters and explained how everyone needs some finance skills and that ACCA-X is ready to help.
We signed up people who we would never normally meet – it was a great opportunity to demonstrate how we're relevant to people beyond the traditional audience for accountancy skills.
Stop four: ACCA & PWC hosted debate 'Jobs of tomorrow' at the European Parliament, Brussels
On the agenda was how business can address the skills gap. We talked about how ACCA-X online can be a solution for organisations.
We spoke to key influencers for corporates like IKEA and Jaguar Land Rover, MEPs and the press representatives from a host of organisations. This was a quick and effective way to influence the conversation and provide expert advice.
Stop five: School21 Careers and Information Event, East London
Lastly, we visited School21, a state-funded innovative school in East London with ACCA members Malvi and Anthony. We met with parents looking for skills to launch their businesses and others who wanted their children to develop financial skills to make them work-ready.

When designing asynchronous APIs that could error in Flow, prefer using
.then for both successful and failure cases. Flow exposes a relatively
unsafe library definition for the
.catch method, so it's best to avoid
it if you can.
What does this look like in practice? Say you're thinking about writing code that looks similar to this:
This is okay code, but not great. Why? Because Flow won't prevent us
from calling
reject(...) with something that's not of type
ErrResult, and it won't warn us when we try to use
err incorrectly.
Concretely, if we had this type definition:
Flow wouldn't prevent us from doing this:
nor from doing this:
As mentioned, we can work around this by only using
resolve and
.then. For example, we can replace our code above with this:
There's a lot of benefits in this newer code:
resolveis much safer than
reject. Flow will always warn us if we call
resolvewith an improperly-typed input.
.thenis the same. Flow will warn for improper usage, and even correctly infer the type of
resin our handler.
We got exhaustiveness as a bonus. We now handle all errors, whereas before it was easy to forget to include a
Of course, there are some times when the you're interfacing with code
not under your control that exposes critical functionality over
.catch. In these cases, it's not an option to just "not use
Instead, you have two options.
If you trust that the library you're using will never "misbehave",
you can ascribe a narrow type to the
.catch callback function:
If you aren't comfortable putting this much trust in the API, you
should instead ascribe
mixed to the result of the callback.

Baden Powell, Scouting's founder, wrote Scouting for Boys in six installments every two weeks from January to March 1908, which makes him a kind of early day blogger. He had published many other books prior to this; one of these, Aids to Scouting published in 1899, had had an unexpected success among boys, which prompted a rewrite under the new name.
Each installment was about 70 pages long, which by today's standards is a bit much for a blog. Nonetheless, we have broken these into smaller sections and will offer them to you weekly as B-P's Blog.
This week's installment comes from the Part IV. "Endurance and Chivalry." B-P used many sources in his writing, including those written by Ernest Thompson Seton, who later became the Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America. While Seaton's Birch Bark Rolls pointed youth to the Native American traditions, B-P choose the code of the knights to guide many of his ideas. In fact, he once said the code of the Knights is "still the code of the gentleman today."
In this "yarn" as he called it, he shares insights into his feelings about a Scout's duty to God, tying it into knighthood with this introduction:
"In Christian countries Boy Scouts should, without fail, attend church or chapel, or a church parade of their own (in the early days Scouts marched to Church as a troop), on Sundays. The afternoon walk might then be devoted to quiet scouting practices, such as "Nature Study" by exploring for plants or insects, observing animals or birds; or in town or bad weather visiting good picture galleries, museums, etc.; also 'Knight Errantry,' doing good turns by collecting flowers and taking them to patients in hospitals, reading newspapers to the patients and so on.
"Sunday is a day of rest; loafing is not rest. Change of occupation from the workshop to the fields is rest; but the Sabbath is too often a day of loafing, and, morally, made the worst day in the whole week for our lads and girls. Combine with the instruction of your Church the study of God in Nature, and the practice of good turns on God's day…"
B-P's next words offer insights really connecting with boys, all boys, so that they might realize their Duty to God:
"When you are trying to get boys to come under your good influence you are as a fisherman wishful to catch fish. If you bait your hook with the kind of food that you like yourself it is probable that you will not catch many—certainly not the shy, game kind of fish. You therefore use as bait the food that the fish likes.
"So with boys. If you try to preach to them what you consider elevating matter you won't catch them. Any obvious "goody-goody" will scare away the more spirited among them and these are the ones you want to get hold of.
"The only way is to hold out something that really attracts and interests them and I think you will find that Scouting does this. You can afterwards season it with what you want them to have
Second: Love and serve your neighbor.

I've been pondering D. Trump's neckties that hang six inches below his belt. My conclusion is that he thinks he's a much taller man.
Comments by Trump supporters indicating they will be revolting if he loses the election are reminiscent of support for a similar movement of the past, spearheaded by that great national hero John Wilkes Booth.

I am Vanessa, passionate about our planet and its inhabitants. I lived and studied environmental sciences and environment & resourcemanagement in Amsterdam for 6 years. Currently I am back in my home country of Austria, living in Vienna.
Because I didn't even understand climate change during my bachelor's at the University of Innsbruck even though I had multiple lectures about it, I really learned about the power of good communication. Everything changed for me when I came to Amsterdam and I had teachers who really knew how to explain those complex things. I thought to myself how terrible it is when the communication of (some) scientists is so bad that no one started working on solving this issue that can eliminate life on Earth as we know it. That's why I got into science communication and content creation.
I firmly believe that knowledge is power. After I learned about the issue, I was also willing to change my life and even more, demand change through protests, voting and voicing my concerns publicly. And I think that many of you are the same. How would you tackle a problem if you don't really know about it and it's just this abstract thing you hear about in the news sometimes –> not at all, right?
But if you know, you can act.
That's why I want to provide you with knowledge about the science in a way that it allowed me to understand it (so, easy to understand I hope). The science is pretty depressing and devastating though, so I want to provide you with solutions for your personal life as well. I want to provide hope because I just refuse to believe that we are unable to solve this.
There are 4 categories on this blog:
- Environment – the science category. Here I write about climate and environmental science, sometimes also political science and social theories. If there's anything you'd like to know, I am always glad to hear from you and know what you would be interested in. (hit me up in the top header under 'message me')
- My EcoLife – here I write about my personal life, how I implement a more sustainable life without leaving my comfort zone. I also write about things that are easy for me, things that challenge me and products I found useful on this journey. Since I am dealing with mental health issues every now and again, you may find articles about that in this category as well – #ecoanxiety.
- Recipes – since we all eat on a daily basis, it's important to keep in mind that our choices have an impact on the environment. A plant-based diet has a much lower environmental footprint than a meat-based diet. Now don't leave, I am not saying you have to go vegan. I am not vegan, I eat cheese and for example when I'm somewhere I also eat a non-vegan cake or something. And, when I started with a plant-based diet, I initially only quit eating meat for some days a week. So, do it on your own terms. If you manage to have like 4 meat-free days a week, you already significantly reduce your personal footprint. I hope you can find some inspiration in my recipes. Oh and you can also find DIY recipes there, like for your own all purpose cleaner.
- Travel – I love to travel. Because I was freakin poor those past 6 years during my studies, I was unable to follow that passion as much as I wanted to. But still, we went to Thailand, Myanmar, Guatemala, Mexico and Belize. You will find my travel guides and recommendations in this category and how you can travel more sustainably and support the local culture.
Alright, I am so happy that you are here and now, let's do this!

Replacing blocks with rings?
Low friction rings are a simple way to replace your old blocks for new. Not only are the rings cheaper and more lightweight, they are also more durable and have a much higher breaking load, which means they are a safer solution. Are you looking for a good place on your boat to try a low friction ring out? Here are a few ideas for you:
-Jib sheet inhaul w. Low Friction Ring
-Backstay tensioning w. Low Friction Rings
-Spinnaker barberhaul tweakers with Low Friction Rings
There are in general a lot of different opinions on where and where not to use low friction rings, and in regards to that - it is important to acknowledge that the friction generating when forcing any type of rope or line through a ring is much higher than the friction that a classic block generates. That being said - you will experience that a little friction will not make a big difference on a lot of places on a sailing boat You can read more articles about this here.

Homemade Honey Grahams
The way that my boys gobble up graham crackers, it's a good thing I don't buy them at the store. My homemade version is less expensive, with the added bonus of using minimally processed ingredients. These are fantastic, but they don't last long! —Crystal Bruns, Iliff, Colorado
Total TimePrep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min/batch
Makes32 cookies
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 tablespoons ice water
- Whisk together first eight ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. In another bowl, whisk together honey and water; gradually add to dry ingredients, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed.
- Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 30 minutes.

The 5A player of the year race seemed to be pretty open before the season began. It still might be. As the playoffs approach, here are the players who may earn the coveted hardware.
Kiefer Edwards, Crater senior
If I were a betting man, I'd take Edwards as the 5A player of the year favorite. He's the best player on the consensus second-best team in the state*. He's averaging 21.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and has to be leading 5A and maybe the state in dunks this season. The 6-foot-6 athletic post makes each game a personal dunk contest. Guard Mason Vranes joked, "We're used to it at this point," because they've seen him so dunk so often. But, he's also a monster rebounder, has a jump shot, and plays good defense. The Comets have Vranes, his younger brother Jayden Vranes and freshman Nathan Bittle, but it's Edwards who is the biggest reason why they are one of the top contenders for the 5A crown.
*Crater is considered the second best team, although they are the best team in the best league. There is reason to believe they're the best team in 5A.
Cade Roth, Silverton senior
The leading scorer on the top-rated team in state is usually a good bet to win the 5A player of the year, especially when he is a senior. Cade Roth checks those boxes, averaging 18.4 posts, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks for Silverton, ranked No. 1 in the OSAA rankings and media polls. Silverton has not lost to an Oregon opponent this season, with their only loss coming to national power Mater Dei (CA).
The reason Roth might not be the favorite is because he is not as well-rounded as some players. Roth is an absolutely phenomenal spot-up shooter. At 6-foot-5, he needs just a hair of space to get three-point attempts off and he hits a remarkable 47% of them. But, that's by far his best offensive dimension. Silverton is balanced with a dark horse player of the year candidate in sophomore point guard David Gonzales (16 points, 3.8 assists), plus interior presence Levi Nielsen (11 points, 9 rebounds).
Isaac Lange, Thurston junior
One of the best athletes in 5A, Lange is averaging 19 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals for another 5A contender. He carries a heavy load for Thurston, but uses his athleticism to get into the paint for layups or short jumpers. He's also shooting a very respectable 38% from deep this season. The Colts are 16-5 (8-4) in the tough Midwestern League, but are still ranked No. 3 by the OSAA. Lange has been their guy the entire year.
Jack Roche, Wilsonville junior
Wilsonville is, once again, the best team in the NWOC and Roche has been tremendous for them. A year ago, he started for the 5A state champion Wildcats and is now their top player. He averages 16.1 points, 6.7 assists and 1.8 steals. A smart passer and terrific shooter, he is shooting 44% from deep.
Matt Van Tassell, Mountain View senior
Van Tassell entered the season with the most expectation of any player in the Intermountain Conference and has delivered, averaging 20.2 points per game. He's 6-foot-7 post, as evidenced by his 7 rebounds per game, but he can also shoot the ball (41% from deep and 81% from the free-throw line). However, he's not even the leading scorer on his team. That would be point guard, Chase McClain, who is averaging 20.6 points, 4.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game. It's unlikely the 5A player of the year will be a Cougar, but these two are having standout seasons.
Others: Jake Costello, South Albany
Tariq Harris, Crescent Valley
Tyler Newsom, Pendleton

Designed for the Enterprise, WSSA is Now Available to Everyone.
Before web site attacks became a highly automated activity run through large botnets, attacks were launched by smart and ruthless hired guns for strictly financial and political reasons. WSSA was created and hardened in the heat of those battles.
The attacks your site experiences daily are based on well known and established application weaknesses or code errors on your web pages. These known exploits are put into easy-to-use scripts and distributed to the thousands of slaved computers that make up a botnet. This army of servers has the time and energy to search for small sites which have even minor security risks and do mischief. These attacks use an automated probing tool that verifies a weakness exists. Once such 'low hanging fruit' is found, the botnet manager is notified that your site has been breached and he looks deeper to see what assets he can find.
Using a cluster of vulnerability scanning servers located at Beyond Security's premises, scanning is done over the Internet on the IP addresses you provide. This shows a clear picture of your site and its server as seen by potential external attackers. We will not ask you to make any configuration changes: don't open any ports for us, or disable any running defense mechanisms. We are trying to give you an accurate 'hacker's view' of your network.
Find out more about a Free Trial
WSSA can detect any vulnerability present on TCP and UDP ports exposed to the outside network (i.e. Internet). Vulnerabilities could be on your SMTP server, in an inadvertently exposed LDAP or even X11. Any of these avenues (and dozens more) can be used by a hacker to circumvent your operating system security and in turn gain access to a server and from there any other computer connected to your system.
Servers scanned include Web, FTP, Mail, Exchange and SQL, plus Firewalls. Scans are not limited by operating system and the service includes general security tests, along with specific tests for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista, UNIX, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, Fedora, and others), Novell, AS-400, Mainframe, etc. Among these tests are special firewall and network router checks, application level tests, and close to 5,000 other test groups that cover well over 10,000 vulnerabilities.
The WSSA vulnerability test database is updated on daily basis from the SecuriTeam.com knowledge base, ensuring that you are always checked against the latest threats and vulnerabilities. WSSA service does not require any kind of software installation on hosts or servers. It will scan such items as databases or operating systems without the need for additional agents. WSSA is cost efficient and comprehensive.

Neurons transmit information from the brain throughout the body, controlling and coordinating all of our actions. But when those neurons become damaged, we have been told there is no way to reverse that harm. Fortunately, with the help of Rg3, there may be a new treatment option for neurodegeneration.
By definition, neurodegeneration is the degeneration of the nervous system. However, it predominantly refers to the neurons within the brain. Neurons are essential components of the nervous system but can become damaged by toxins, traumatic brain injuries, and even age.
As these neurons begin to die, we start to see problems surface with mental functions. Brain fog and forgetfulness may be taken lightly at first, but even these consequences can become disruptive to quality of life. Neurodegeneration, over time, can lead to debilitating conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
For those suffering as a result of neurodegeneration, the creation of RG3 compounded nasal spray could help deliver the necessary boost you've been longing to have.
RG3 is a molecule that is isolated and extracted from steaming the root of the Asian plant, Panax Ginseng. For years, Panax Ginseng has been used in Traditional Chinese medicine, but research has now found that we can use individual ginsenosides, rather than the entire root, to treat various health conditions in the world of integrative medicine.
RG3 has been found to support proper brain function while protecting neurons from inflammation damage or oxidative stress. By doing so, RG3 can help enhance memory, better concentration and may even induce neurogenesis—the creation of new neurons in the brain.
RG3 has been found to provide many health benefits, some of which could include:
To learn more about the benefits of RG3 and find out if it could be an asset to your health, please contact our office for more information.

Circularly polarized luminescence from semiconductor quantum rods templated by self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals†
Fluorescent semiconductor quantum nanocrystals have received much attention due to their high brightness and color purity. Fabrication of semiconductor quantum nanocrystals with optical activity is of particular interest recently due to the potential applications in the fields of chemistry, pharmacology, biology and physics. Several approaches have been developed to induce circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence of semiconductor quantum nanocrystals, but only resulted in very weak signals. Herein, we demonstrate a circularly polarized luminescent solid film by doping CdSe/CdS quantum rods into the self-assembled left-handed helical structure of the earth-abundant and renewable cellulose nanocrystals. The degree of circularly polarized luminescence can be tuned by adjusting the photonic band gap of the helical structure relative to the photoluminescent band. A significant right-handed circularly polarized luminescence has been demonstrated, offering an easy and powerful platform to produce circularly polarized luminescence of semiconductor quantum materials.

This rather "dramatic" slogan was the title of a presentation that I held last night at a public forum on obesity held at the Maclab Centre for Performing Arts in Leduc, a city just South of Edmonton.
The forum was organized by the Leduc health council and was well attended.
My main messages:
1) Obesity is a widespread chronic disease that needs to be resourced in the same manner as other chronic diseases.
2) Although not curable, we do have treatments that are highly effective in reducing morbidity and (at least in the case of bariatric surgery) mortality.
3) Unless we appreciate the tremendous impact that obesity is having as a driver of a wide range of acute and chronic diseases as well as short and long-term disability, and develop the same infrastructure and access to obesity treatments as we do for other chronic diseases, the (avoidable?) spending on obesity-related comorbidities and disabilities (e.g. hip and knee replacements, diabetes, etc.) will simply continue to skyrocket.
4) In the short term, nothing less than a catastrophic event (e.g. gas prices of $4/litre, food shortage, etc.) is likely to reverse the current epidemic.
5) While we discuss how to rebuild our cities and change our food supply, we cannot continue to simply ignore the plight of the Millions already suffering the consequences of this disabling and cruel disease.
Hard words, perhaps not what the audience was ready to hear or digest - nevertheless enthusiastic compliments on talking about these issues without mincing words or providing unrealistic rosy outlooks.
There is an obesity crisis out there and it's not going away anytime soon!

When it comes to link building for your website or a client's website, any webmaster worth his salt knows that directory submission, article directories, and social bookmarking are all essential elements of that strategy. But with so many hundreds of directories and bookmarking sites out there that you can submit your site to, the question then becomes, what is the easiest, most effective way to submit to all of these? That's where PHP Dir Submit comes in.
PHP Dir Submit offers an easy to use interface that allows you to enter the required information one time, and then immediately submit it to all the directories, article sites, and bookmarking sites of your choice. The software comes preloaded with 300 directory sites, 300 article directories, and 300 bookmarking sites, but the aspect that really puts the icing on the cake is that you can add and remove any site you want. So potentially, you could submit to even more sites than the package provides. Set up is a breeze, and because the submissions are clean (i.e. "white hat" links), you're guaranteed to see increased traffic for you or your clients in the coming months.
The real gem of PHP Dir Submit is that you can use it to make some extra cash providing SEO backlink services for other people. Instead of opting for the $49 single domain license which only allows you to submit just one site, you could buy the $99 unlimited domain package and submit the links, site descriptions, and articles of an unlimited number of sites to the hundreds of directories and social bookmarking sites out there. In other words, for just a onetime payment of $99, you could run your own SEO backlink and directory submission business, taking on as many clients as you want. Or if you prefer, you can buy the $49 package and buy credits for more websites as you need them.
So what sets PHP Dir Submit from other directory submission software out there now? For starters, their customer service is speedy, friendly, and thorough. Whenever a question is asked, it's answered clearly, with plenty of details and specifics so as to leave nothing to doubt. And if there's still something unclear, their customer support team is happy to work with you until the problem is resolved. Further, their list of directories is updated for free, for life, whereas other directory submission packages merely offer you one list of directories and that's it. And that's on top of the fact that this tool allows you to submit to each of the big three backlink building categories—site directories, article directories, and bookmarking sites—whereas other directory submission tools only allow one. It really is one of the most all-inclusive, easy to use SEO tools out there. You'd be doing yourself a disservice not to buy it.
