LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Taifa Butler is current Director of Policy and Communications at Georgia Family Connection Partnership. Taifa is primarily responsible for directing the Partnership's policy and communications efforts to promote the strategic work of Georgia Family Connection. She also co-manages the Georgia KIDS COUNT project. Taifa is a candidate for Henry County's Board of Education 4th District for the coming general election on November 2, 2010. Taifa is serving as secretary on the education committee of the Henry County Chamber of Commerce and as past board treasurer and president of Chosen Heirs, Inc.
Today, we will meet the woman behind the vision.
ASSOCIATED CONTENT: Good afternoon Taifa. How are you today?
TAIFA BUTLER: Good afternoon. I am doing very well. I am excited about the attention education is getting right now. The time is ripe for us to make changes that will benefit our students.
AC: Taifa, can you give our readers a little information about your background in education?
TB: Sure. I don't have a background in education, per se. I have spent more than 10 years working in the policy arena focused on improving health and education for children. Part of my work has been researching and sharing best practices that work to improve health and education with parents, communities, and policymakers. That's my connection to education.
AC: I understand you are running for Henry County's Board of Education for the 4th District. What prompted you to run?
TB: In 2009, I was an education policy fellow and spent nine months with some of the brightest professionals around the state examining all aspects of education policy. As we discussed challenges, I was motivated to be a part of the solution. Immediately I started attending our local board meetings-for more than a year now-and I realized that the system was doing some good things. I was disappointed with the lack of leadership in my district. That compelled me to run.
AC: How important is it that parents get involved in their children's education?
TB: Education begins at home. Parents are the child's first teacher. From day one, we must spend time bonding, reading, talking, and giving children enriching experiences to help them explore and learn. From birth to age 3, children are experiencing critical early brain development and everything we do with them impacts their growth and brain development. We have to lay a solid foundation. We have just 2,000 days to get it right. If we don't, children won't enter school ready to learn. In school, parents must work in partnership with the teachers to support the students. We often look for educators to "instill a love of learning" in children, but that 'love of learning' must be supported and fostered at home. Educators cannot do it alone. I'll stop there because I could go one. It is vital that parents BE involved in their child's education at home, in school, and the system overall.
AC: What is one of the major issues with the Henry County Board of Education that you see in the 4th District?
TB: The thrust of this campaign is "Connecting Community Voices to Improve Education." One of the major issues I saw was the lack of community engagement. As a mother, I did not feel engaged or informed about what was going on at the system level that impacted my child's education. Secondly, when parents complained that the board wasn't responsive to their concerns, I found that to be unacceptable.
AC: How would you implement change regarding that issue?
TB: Community engagement cannot be passive. The system reaches out to the Chamber and businesses well, but neglects to fully engage educators, parents and the community at-large. Educators and parents can provide input in the decision-making of the board, perhaps in the form of an advisory council. If we keep student achievement in the forefront, we need leaders that will monitor and track our success, but also sound the alarm when things are not working and we need to make adjustments. The State Board of Education just implemented a parent advisory council. Our schools have councils. The district should model that same level of partnership and engagement so that they can make more informed decisions. Other ideas would be to implement a communications and engagement plan that would specify strategies for improving community engagement, i.e. host more public forums at the school setting, create more opportunity to target public participation, and use technology more effectively and creatively.
AC: Where can people connect with you to volunteer for your campaign?
TB: We would love volunteers to join our campaign. People can visit our campaign Web site, www.taifa4henryschools.com, and click Volunteer to sign up. You can also send me an email directly at email@example.com.
AC: Can you tell Henry County Residents when the election takes place and why they should vote for Taifa S. Butler?
TB: The general election is Tuesday, November 2, 2010. People should vote for me because I am the right leader for the job. The educational system is facing major challenges and we cannot continue doing business the same way. We need new leaders on the board that have relative experience and a track record of working on these issues. I've been doing this work everyday for more than 10 years. I am a results-oriented leader focused on what's best for children and advocating for parents and communities to be engaged in the decision-making process. With my leadership in District 4, we can overcome the challenges facing education together and "ensure success for every child." I pray the citizens of Henry will give me the chance to serve.
AC: Thanks so much for your time today Taifa and I believe you are doing a great work in the Henry County Community. I wish you great success with your campaign.
TB: Thank you. And, thank you Yahoo for allowing me to share my vision and ideas for improving education in Henry County.

Known to be one of the world's biggest camel fair, Pushkar Mela or Pushkar Fair is an annual celebration held in Pushkar, Rajasthan. The fair is 5 days long and is held on the banks of Pushkar Lake. Businessmen- rural and urban, attend this fair to sell and buy livestocks such as camels, goats, cows, and sheep. It is not only just a business exchange fair but also one of the major tourist attraction of the state of Rajasthan which attracts national as well as international crowd. It is believed that during the last day of the fair i.e. Kartik Purnima (full moon), all the 330 million Hindu deities visit the lake to bless the devotees. This is why, during the fair hundreds and thousands of devotees gather to take a dip in the holy waters of Pushkar lake and pay homage at the Lord Brahma temple in Pushkar. Pushkar is also famous as the only place in the world to house the shrine of Lord Brahma, one of the three major deities of Hindu mythology.
Pushkar mela is not only limited to the livestock trading and religious gatherings. With the increase in number of tourists, the mela now holds several attractions for the attendees. Some of these attractions include competitions like "the best bride competition", "longest moustache competition", and "matka phod competition". The latter is a competition where participants are normally blindfolded and have to break as many earthen pots as possible within the stipulated time. Off lately, the visitors at Pushkar mela also get to witness a friendly cricket match between the local club of Pushkar and a team of random foreign tourists.

I am putting these updated remarks in a thread of their own. Let it sink or swim. I am trying to encourage dialogue and action on safeguarding our sport and our team by, in this instance, fostering debate amongst Leinster Addicts. With 4 deaths in France in 8 months the clock is ticking much louder and faster than ever before and this online community should be part of the force for making our sport much safer than it is now.
I believe we all need to do more to make our sport much safer than it is. Talking about what we can do as rugby enthusiasts and what we think the sport's governing bodies should do is part of the agitation needed to protect players at all levels and in the process safeguard the future of our sport and especially Leinster Rugby.
As I have said before, Leinster/all Rugby is at risk generally with increasing concerns about the sport's safety at all levels beyond minis.
We have a particular weakness in that we are overreliant on schools who produce 75% of our player intake and they are INDEPENDENT entities of (LB)IRFU.
I consider schools that play in the Leinster Schools Cup competitions to be feeder schools into Leinster Rugby. These INDEPENDENT rugby schools are collectively one big eco-system. It doesn't matter much if some have no pro players and others have a few. When one of these schools catches a 'cold' (from a rugby brain injury or death) then Leinster Pro-rugby will get 'pneumonia' because Leinster Rugby doesn't govern/control any of them and will not be able to limit the damage it will incur from schools taking the foot off the pedal of their rugby programmes - or even exiting the sport. Some schools have already done this by reducing the emphasis on rugby or keeping a limit on how hard it is pushed as an activity in the school's offering. Others have decided to literally muscle-up and chase the rugy dream very hard. For better or worse.
No, I don't have solutions but here are some suggestions for what the governing bodies, from LBIRFU to IRFU to World Rugby, should do:
- THE MAIN SUGGESTION: Make the game much safer, sooner. Just get it done as all the time people are losing confidence or being turned off in greater numbers.
- THE TEMPORARY & INADEQUATE ONE: Spread the risk by increasing the output of pro players from a wider range of rugby hotbeds:
Belvedere, Terenure, Castlenock and St Mary's (there is a glut of players coming from St Michael's, Blackrock & Clongowes)
The next layer of rugby schools & the rugby clubs
Work hard to avoid a major dip in the output of the big 3 schools producers - rugby safety is the key here
- OTHER - We the supporters/fans, parents, players, volunteers...don't wait for World Rugby & (LB)IRFU to do it, we should be the change agents we needby putting the governing bodies under pressure. Agitate - which is what I do here and have done elsewhere including meeting the IRFU. Pressure works.

The key word here is: "Customized". Prior to John selling his previous company, 99% of all of his content was generic. John saw the enormous gap for sales reps trying to connect the dots between "generic sales training" and their own world. He is now creating videos for several different clients where he addresses each clients' particular challenges within their vertical.
Costigan Training is opening a new portal where every client will have their own login and able to see all of their own personalized sales classes inside their own portal. These portals will be able to be integrated in your own LMS (Learning Management System).

Recently, GAPW participated in a panel discussion on Gender and the ICC, primarily on how gender-based crimes are prosecuted by the ICC and some of the challenges of the Court. The discussion focused mostly on victim testimony. While victims of gender-based violence are open to talk about their experiences privately, they refuse to testify on the stand, and sometimes even change their stories on the stand, because of the stigma they will face within their families or communities, should their experiences be made public.
The issues of stigma and prosecution of gender-based crimes are relevant not only in the context of testifying in court, but also in providing healing to survivors of violence and communities and subsequently promoting reintegration. Healing is a necessary step to ensure for the adequate reintegration of survivors back into their communities and to promote a culture of participation and gender equality. Survivors of violence can often face stigma within their communities in that they can be accused for being at fault or responsible for the violence they suffered. Publicly reporting and sharing such abuses can make the survivors, and their families, targets of stigma or cultural/community taboos. Accountability and prosecution of these crimes can make significant progress in changing those misconceptions or taboos that the victim is the offender, or that women are the only victims of sexual violence and that men cannot be the victims of sexual abuse as well. Therefore, investigating, arresting, charging perpetrators and holding them accountable in an international tribunal can help promote a culture of deterrence and reintegration, and subsequently encourage victims to come forward and share their experiences at a public trial without fearing of the consequences within their communities.
Among the other topics discussed at the panel presentation included internal gender issues that the ICC is faced with, such as staff misconduct or gender balance, managing a heavy case load, as well as gender-based crimes and sexual and reproductive crimes. As we move forward, of course, we must ensure that voices from the victims are allowed and encouraged in the trial proceedings. By the same token, however, we must provide for the security of these victims to share their stories, whether by ensuring that their families and work lives will be taken care while away testifying or ensuring that they will not be stigmatized within their own communities for sharing the abuses they suffered.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that issues of prosecution and accountability for gender-based crimes, as well as issues of accessibility and agency, and overall international peace and security, are complimentary issues within the UN and other relevant stakeholders, including the ICC, and we must continue to promote collaborative work to tackle these challenges effectively.

Abstract content
Objective: document lessons learned and identify opportunities and barriers to scaling up health adaptation projects in low- and middle-income countries to address current and future climate variability and change
Data sources: evaluation reports and other materials covering the first five years of implementation (2008-2013) of three multinational health adaptation projects covering fourteen countries (Albania, Barbados, Bhutan, China, Fiji, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Philippines Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) and qualitative data collected through a focus group consultation and interviews with 19 key informants purposively selected for their expertise and role in health adaptation to climate change
Methods: a qualitative review and synthesis of documents for evidence and examples of: attaining objectives and planned results of interventions; sustainability; stakeholder participation and community engagement; country ownership and socio-political constraints; human resources and capabilities; replicability and scalability; and health adaptation monitoring and evaluation
Main conclusions: The national projects increased resilience for particular weather-sensitive health outcomes by focusing on incremental improvements in policies and programs to address the current adaptation deficit associated with climate variability, and by beginning to establish enabling environments for additional adaptation. Irrespective of resource constraints, low and middle-income countries need to prepare for climate change through better understanding of potential risks, strengthening health systems, ensuring adequate policies and legislation, facilitating institutional support, and public education and awareness programs, including disaster preparedness measures. However, no project planned nor considered how to scale up successful community-based activities. Further, the activities undertaken may not be sufficient to address significant increases in climate variability and change. National health plans and budget processes need to move beyond focusing on shorter-term activities to address climate variability to also promoting mitigation and to transforming adaptation policies and programs into multi-faceted, collaborative (multi-disciplinary), and iterative activities, with support for capacity building, knowledge communication, and institutionalized monitoring and evaluation.

Abstract content
Background: In 2014, we reported the future heat-related excess mortality projections as Chapter 2 of the book by World Health Organization. In this projection, we used SRES A1B scenario and the target was elderly population, i.e., 65+ years. We updated the projection using RCP scenario and for all age groups combined.
Methods: We defined excess mortality identical to the WHO book: The relation between daily maximum temperature and mortality is V-shaped, and the temperature at which the mortality is lowest is called "optimum temperature (=OT)." When the temperature is higher than OT, the mortality risk is higher than that at OT. We define this difference between the mortality at higher temperature and that at OT as excess mortality.
For projection, we used RCPs 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5 with SSPs 1, 2 and 3 Target periods were 1981-2000 as the baseline, 2020s, 2050s and 2080s. The general circulation models (=GCMs) we used are GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A, MIROC-ESM-CHEM and Noresm1-M. As of now, RCP&SSP-specific mortality rate has not been publicly available. Thus, we calculated mortality using IIASA SSP-specific population data by country, sex and 5-yaer age category.
Results: Regardless the GCM, excess mortality increased along with the time, and large increase was observed in China, India and Europe. Along with the temperature rise, the increase in excess mortality varied with the GCM, but the difference was smaller for nearer future. The difference due to the SSP appeared smaller compared with the difference due to the model.
Discussion: Impact of climate change on heat-related excess mortality will occur not only developing countries but also developed countries. This is specific to heat-related mortality, unlike other major health impacts such as malnutrition, malaria, dengue fever, diarrhea and deaths due to coastal floods. Although "autonomous adaptation," i.e., optimum temperature becomes higher along with the warming climate without specific adaptation policy, would occur, this ubiquitous impact all over the globe would require us to take actions for mitigation and adaptation.
Conclusion: Heat-related excess mortality would affect both developing and developed countries, and shows a good example of the necessity of cooperation all over the world.

Abstract content
Climate change is likely to affect human health with important differences by world region. As climate change is likely to affect proximal and distal (upstream) risk factors for a wide range of health outcomes, the quantification of these risks and burdens is complex, and few global models are available. We will report the finding of a global assessment of the impact of climate change on selected mortality outcomes undertaken for the World Health Organization.
Future cause-specific mortality in 2030 and 2050 (in the absence of climate change) was estimated using regression methods for three development futures: base case, high growth and no-growth scenarios. Global climate-health models were developed for a range of health outcomes known to be sensitive to climate change: heat-related mortality in elderly people, mortality associated with coastal flooding, mortality associated with diarrhoeal disease in children aged under 15 years, malaria population at risk and mortality, dengue population at risk and mortality, undernutrition (stunting) and associated mortality. Future climate change was characterized by a medium-high emissions scenario (A1b) run through three climate models. The counterfactual was a future world with population growth and economic development but with baseline (19611990) climate. The annual burden of mortality due to climate change was estimated for world regions. For most pathways considered, the results reflect both positive and negative impacts on health.
Compared with a future without climate change, the following additional deaths are projected for the year 2030: 38 000 due to heat exposure in elderly people, 48 000 due to diarrhoea, 60 000 due to malaria, and 95 000 due to childhood undernutrition. WHO projects a dramatic decline in child mortality, and this is reflected in declining climate change impacts from child malnutrition and diarrhoeal disease between 2030 and 2050. On the other hand, by the 2050s, deaths related to heat exposure (less than 100 000 per year) are projected to increase. Impacts are greatest under a low economic growth scenario because of higher rates of mortality projected in low- and middle-income countries. By 2050, impacts of climate change on mortality are projected to be greatest in south Asia. These results indicate that climate change will have a significant impact on child health by the 2030s.
A main limitation of this assessment is the inability of current models to account for major pathways of potential health impact, such as the effects of economic damage, major heatwave events, river flooding and water scarcity. The assessment also did not consider the impacts of climate change on human security. Current models can capture only a subset of potential causal pathways, and none account for the effects of major discontinuities in climatic, social or ecological conditions.
Global climate change is projected to have substantial adverse impacts on future mortality, even considering only a subset of the expected health effects, and under optimistic scenarios of future socioeconomic development and with adaptation. This indicates that avoiding climate-sensitive health risks is an additional reason to mitigate climate change. The results indicate that significant impacts of climate change cannot be avoided, and supports the case for strengthening programmes to address health risks including undernutrition, diarrhoea, vector-borne disease, and heat extremes, and for including consideration of climate variability and change within programme design. The strong effect of socioeconomic development on the projections of future risks emphasizes the need to ensure that economic growth, climate policies and health programmes particularly benefit the poorest and most vulnerable populations.

Abstract content
In coming years, the Pacific is expected to experience increasing climate extremes as periods of drought and heavy rainfall, cyclones and heat become more frequent and intense, oceans become warmer and more acidic, and sea-level rise affects artesian water causing flooding. Pacific Island communities are especially susceptible to the health impacts of climate change due to their isolation, limited land area, low lying topography, and generally high levels of inherent vulnerability, together with poverty and widespread reliance on subsistence farming. The poorest communities especially are inadequately resourced to manage current climate and health risks, and have even less capacity to prepare for and adapt to long-term climatic changes. Despite the acceptance that communities in the Pacific are highly vulnerable, very little is known about how these risks may best be managed with so few resources and the structural disadvantages typical of small island developing states. Existing data in the region relevant to climate and health is sparse, may not be relevant to particular communities, and may miss important local features. This study is an in-depth assessment of vulnerability on Rabi Island. We document current health concerns, especially in relation to climate-relevant health risks. We evaluate contemporary coping mechanisms and capacity for adaptation, in order to develop feasible and acceptable strategies in the context of extremely limited resources.
Rabi Island is a small volcanic island in Fiji situated to the east of Vanua Levu, one of Fijis two main islands. Rabi is home to around 5000 Banaba Islanders who were brought there from Kiribati 70 years ago, displaced by phosphate mining on their home island. The islanders have maintained their Banaba culture and language and have dual Kiribati-Fijian citizenship. In many ways, Rabi is typical of Pacific vulnerability to climate change underlying poor health, poverty and exposure to extreme events such as cyclones but with the added complexity of being an ethnic minority population that is especially isolated from the rest of the country. Income is very low, houses are crowded, and islanders rely on fishing and subsistence farming. Aside from coconuts that are collected for processing, there is a single cash-crop, kava, that generates most of the income on the island. Vector-borne disease, food- and water-borne and other communicable diseases, ciguatera (fish poisoning), malnutrition and direct physical trauma during extreme events are current health problems. Existing climate vulnerabilities, including threats to food security, are likely to be amplified with climate change.
We present the findings from our vulnerability assessment using data from a detailed random household survey (156 item questionnaire, 200 households, yielding data on 1500 individuals) and from focus groups of women and men in each village using Participatory Rural Appraisal methods. We explore locally feasible opportunities to boost community resilience in the face of climate change and adaptation interventions to minimise adverse health outcomes. We discuss the relevance of our findings to other vulnerable communities in the Pacific and elsewhere.

True to its namesake, the SR52-UT is absolutely an intimidating light, albeit in a much smaller package than the heritage associated with the SR badging generally offers.
Meat and Potatoes
Olight has been showing quite the propensity for powerful, throw-centric lights lately. Generally these have been resting in their Javelot line of torches, however before the Javelot's existed, the Search and Rescue SR series was created. The originals were gargantuan lights with simply stunning outputs that were only possible at the time through the use of mammoth integrated battery packs. Technology inexorably marches forward and has lately left those beasts somewhat underwhelming by the advances in LEDs.
The SR52 is definitely a smaller form factor than those original monstrosities, however it is still far more massive than most of the torches that cross my hands. The 3x 18650 battery handle is a handful that even dwarfs the diameter of the old D-cell models of old. Having that much power on tap does come with advantages though, namely in output and runtime.
Using the power of a single domeless Cree XM-L2 LED in a giant reflector, the SR52 is capable of pushing its top output of 1200 lumens out with near laser quality focus. Seriously, this thing's only real competitors are the aforementioned Javelots when it comes to throw capability. The smooth polish of the reflector forms a sharply defined center hotspot with a steep drop in brightness for the wide spillbeam. Thankfully, the size and quality of the reflector have all but eliminated beam artifacts. True, it could get a little smoother by adding a light stipple, but that would defeat the puropose of such a tight focus. In practice, they aren't distracting, or even noticeable, during real world use.
The SR52 has a basic side-mounted electronic soft switch with a simple to use 3-mode L-M-H (with memory) user interface. A quick click turns the light on, and pressing and holding will advance through the available modes. A double click from either on or off will bring up the strobe, but that mode is never memorized, so there's no danger of accidentally activating it when a constant output is really what you want. It doesn't have any form of either momentary activation, or moon mode. The loss of momentary is somewhat regrettable, but since the activation switch is both quiet and easy to press, this is not really a problem. The lack of moon mode is thoroughly unconcerning to me. Why would you need it in this particular light? It would serve no purpose. Even if you did manage to neck down this powerful of a torch to sub-lumen levels, it would be almost useless light with the extremely tight focus. You want moon mode? Go get an EDC light. This one has other purposes.
Olight has really pulled out all the stops when it comes to fit and finish. I'll admit, there used to be something intangible that I didn't like about their machinework when I first started reviewing this brand. Whatever that was (I never really identified it) is completely gone however. The SR52 feels like one of the most well put-together lights I've held. All of the classic earmarks are present, like uniform anodizing and crisp lasered lettering. There's something more as well though. This light doesn't have any hint of battery rattle. All of the threading gives the feeling of solid lockup. Even the wide stainless steel bezel has been disguised so well that you can hardly tell the difference between it and the anodized aluminum of the rest of the body. The light just feels good in your hand. It's a joy to hold and to use.
Constructive Criticism
One partiucular place where the SR52 really struts its stuff is with the included USB charge port. This makes for very useful ability to charge all 3 of the parallel mounted 18650 cells simply by plugging the light into the cellphone charger you probably have laying around somewhere already. The one downside to this, in my opinion, is the choice of USB Micro for the charge port. I'm sure this was intentional as this is probably the most ubiquitous charge standard at the moment, but we're perched on the edge of a precipice. USB Micro is finally being seen for the poorly designed connector that it is. Several new phones are already beginning to use the far superior USB-C port. It would really have been nice to see Olight become an early adopter for that standard so this light might have a longer viable lifespan. Obviously if the charge port deforms and ceases to function (which would be the fault of the port design, not Olight), you still have the ability to just remove the cells and charge them externally. I simply wish it was a little more future-proof.
I like it. I suspect this is not much of a surprise to most of you, however it needs to be said. When it comes to these larger lights like this, one of my biggest evaluation methods has become to just grab the light and use it while I'm walking the dog after dark each evening. Having this much power on tap, with such a tight focus allows me to really reach out and see any potential hazards or canine distractions that are waiting in the periphery of most lights of lower pedigree. The SR52-UT really reaches out and lights up the distances, without ever feeling like I'm taxing the cells that power it. Having a handy recharge option and a pleasing UI make the light that much more appealing.

Cruises have increased in popularity over the past few years – who wouldn't want to go on holiday where someone else does the housework, prepares the meals and takes you to see lots of new places? A cruise is on most people's bucket list, everyone has a friend who raves about them and is adamant you can't get seasick on a cruise ship.
So, why the surge in popularity? One reason could be the rise of the all-inclusive cruise, which promises a great-value holiday to multiple destinations, with accommodation, meals and drinks, and activities all included in the overall price. Some cruise lines think all inclusive is the future of cruising. For example, Marella Cruises goes all inclusive in 2019, its fleet of ships will no longer offer pay-as-you-go cruising and is introducing all inclusive as standard.
But what exactly does all inclusive include? Well, it varies from cruise line to cruise line, but here are the general guidelines for mainstream cruise lines.
Table of Contents (skip directly to the info you're looking for)
Your home away from home will be covered in the price of your cruise, as is cleaning, bed making and provision of towels and linen, just like in a hotel. You will probably have to pay for laundry services, so check if there are any self-service laundry services on board, or make sure you pack lots of clothes, so you don't have to wash any while you are away.
Travel costs
If you book a fly-cruise, the price of your flight will be incorporated into the price of your holiday. Check with your cruise line whether coach transfers, visa costs (where applicable) and port taxes are covered, too.
There will be several restaurants onboard, most of which you can eat from without paying. There will also be snack bars to pick up a quick bite, and buffets you can visit again and again. However, you will pay extra for dining experiences such as a Chef's Table Experience or tasting menu, or to eat in one of the more upmarket restaurants.
Many drinks will be available at no extra cost, in bars and restaurants across the ship. Everything from beer and wine to spirits and some cocktails, plus soft drinks and fruit juices. Basic hot beverages will also be included, but if you are partial to a speciality coffee, you'll have to pay for it or buy an upgraded drinks package. A drinks package will also cover premium spirits, beers and cocktails.
Entertainment and onboard activities
All cruise lines provide a wide variety of free facilities and activities onboard. Swimming pools, running tracks, Broadway style shows, and outdoor cinemas to name just a few. Spa treatments are definitely not included, and you'll have to pay extra for them. You'll also get the option to pay for other activities, for example, cooking classes or dance lessons.
Clubs for children and teenagers are usually part of the standard all-inclusive package, but you will have to pay for evening babysitting services if you want a child-free night.
Tips and service charges are included in the price of your cruise, so you don't have to worry about forgetting your wallet when you go out for a meal.
In a world where a high-speed internet connection has become a lifeline, surprisingly Wi-Fi is not included in the price of your cruise. Many people see this as an opportunity to do a digital detox for a short time.
If an onboard photographer catches you unawares and snaps a picture of you in your best gear on your way to dinner, you'll have to pay for a copy, so take a selfie instead and save some money.
Finally, you will be charged extra for shore excursions, for example if you book a sightseeing tour at the port where your ship is calling.
There are many benefits to going on an all-inclusive cruise. It's easy to budget for your holiday, once the overall price is paid, you can guesstimate a daily allowance for extras and upgrades and bring enough to cover this. You can relax in the knowledge your meals and drinks are covered, you don't have to worry about how much every meal will cost.
If you add up what it would cost you at home to watch a show, go to the local swimming pool, put the kids in nursery for the day, and so on, a cruise can be a cost-effective holiday. Just make sure you experience everything you've paid for, be it an exercise class or a cocktail or two at the poolside bar.

Link original: Cartola – Nova Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira (1977)
Publicado em: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 by zecalouro
Cartola is a very important Brazilian artist, with compositions recorded by all acknoledged Brazilian performers. Cartola was simple, authentic and never act if was an artist, perhaps the reason for leaving only spare recordings. The last Leo Ribeiro Forma & Elenco Radio show was a special Cartola edition. I invite you to check Radio Forma & Elenco website, owned and maintained by Martoni, from the Netherlands. There you can download past Forma & Elenco editions and also the last one featuring Cartola. We have only two Cartola albums available at Loronix and they were released a long time ago. Let's see.
This is Cartola – Nova Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira (1978), for Abril Cultural, featuring eight Cartola compositions performed by Cartola and selected artists, such like: Paulinho da Viola, Nara Leao, Gal Costa, among others. Don't let the first track Divina Dama, performed by Francisco Alves cheats you. This track was taken from a very old 78 rpm and it seems the folks at Abril Cultural did not make a necessary remastering, but the remaining tracks are clean and beautiful. I recommend. Tracks include:

How to Successfully Re-plug After a Holiday Weekend
As Fourth of July weekend is upon us, it's safe to say everyone will be sprinting to their cars at 5 on the dot this Friday afternoon ready for a long weekend of R&R with family, friends and an ice cold beer. The last thing on anyone's mind will be answering client emails while heading to the beach. Mentally checking […]Read More >

The study of vascular morphometry requires segmenting vessels with high precision. Of particular clinical interest is the morphometric analysis of arterial bifurcations in Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscopy (AOO) images of eye fundus. In this paper, we extend our previous approach for segmenting retinal vessel branches to the segmentation of bifurcations. This enables us to recover the microvascular tree and extract biomarkers that charactarize the blood flow.
Adaptive subspace detectors (ASD) generalize matched subspace detectors (MSD) by accounting for possible correlation. Both ASD and MSD are derived using the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT). While MSD assumes there is no correlation between observations, ASD estimates a sample covariance matrix of possibly correlated samples using signal-free observations. In this paper, we address the performance of the ASD when the number of secondary data is insufficient and the observed signal lies in higher dimensional space.
In this work, we study the problem of tracking multiple frequency components in a noisy signal using a spectrogram-based method. Previous approaches such as image processing based or hidden Markov model-based methods may not be capable of tracking multiple frequency components, may require extensive training, and may be time-consuming. To address these issues, we propose an accurate and efficient method named Adaptive Multi-Trace Carving (AMTC) for tracking multiple frequency traces by iterative forward and backward dynamic programming and adaptive trace compensation.
Monitoring sleep quality and status is important to learn health condition for improvement and prevent sleep apnea. A bed-mounted seismometer system is proposed to monitor the heart and respiratory rates, and body movement and posture, during the sleep. To effectively monitor sleep status, an innovative local maxima statistics based approach and an instantaneous property based method are developed to estimate heart and respiratory rates, respectively. These methods are more robust and stable compared to previous works.
Time-lapse microscopy provides 4D imaging data for monitoring and studying down to single-cell, the stochastic processes involved as bacterial colonies grow and interact under different stress conditions. Two main factors prevent high throughput analysis: a) cell segmentation and tracking are very time-consuming and error-prone and b) analytics tools are lacking to interpret the plethora of features extracted from a complex "cell-movie." To address both limitations, we have recently developed a multi-resolution Bio-image Analysis & Single-Cell Analytics framework, called BaSCA.
In this work we analyze the impact of denoising, contrast and edge enhancement using the Deceived Non Local Means (DNLM) filter in a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based approach for age estimation using digital X-ray images from hands. The DNLM filter contains two parameters which control edge enhancement and denoising. Increasing levels were tested to assess the impact of both contrast enhancement and denoising in the CNN based model regression accuracy.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful method for imaging the retinal layers. In this paper, we develop a novel 3D fully convolutional deep architecture for automated segmentation of retinal layers in OCT scans. This model extracts features from both the spatial and the inter-frame dimensions by performing 3D convolutions, thereby capturing the information encoded in multiple adjacent frames.
The identification of useful temporal dependence structure in discrete time series data is an important component of algorithms applied to many tasks in statistical inference and machine learning, and used in a wide variety of problems across the spectrum of biological studies. Most of the early statistical approaches were ineffective in practice, because the amount of data required for reliable modelling grew exponentially with memory length.

This is my first PC build ever. I come over from using a console my entire life and I must say........why in the world did it take so long for me to ascend? Haha
It was a very difficult time for me to decide between Intel or AMD. Each have their own benefits and disadvantages. I ultimately went with AMD and the Ryzen lineup because it has a lower entry cost point, "affordable" hardware (stupid DDR4 prices), and I am more akin to the "underdog" competition. I realize the red and black theme has been quite popular, but I am very happy I went with it. I am using this build for content creation, streaming, and light gaming. The games I will most likely play are Fortnite, Doom, and some other AAA titles in the future.
Part Reviews
This CPU is an unreal steal. Does everything you want, and then some. If you need a solid CPU to do gaming, content creation, multi-threaded work, and on a budget...you need to grab this.
CPU Cooler
Does what it is intended for. Keeps my OC'd Ryzen 5 1600x idle at 30c and was an easy install.
Easy to work with. Bios was easy to understand and made me comfortable in overclocking my CPU. It also fit with my theme so that was a nice plus.
5 stars for the look and compatibility with my mobo. Easily able to get this memory to run at 3200mhz with an update to the mobo bios.
FWIW, please make sure you look into your motherboards qvl list before buying memory and making sure it is compatible with your mobo. Almost didn't buy these because of bad information I found online.
1 star for the price. I understand this is the way the market is, but it just sucks pricing is this outrageous.
cheap memory for booting up pc.
Good price for my gaming needs. Easy to install.
Video Card
When I committed to an AMD processor, I was leaning towards an NVIDIA GPU. However when the time came to purchase my GPU, prices were ridiculous for both AMD and NVIDIA. The 1060 6 gb was around $300+. A RX 580....good luck finding a "deal" on that. I randomly found this on PCPP and instantly purchased. It has a solid looking backplate and only needs a single 8-pin connector. Runs Fortnite at 100+ frames at high settings. Plus...Freesync monitor in the future.
What a steal this is at around $60. It has tempered glass, an RGB light that can cycle through various colors, a power supply shroud, and nice cutouts for your cables to go through. As a first time builder it was very easy to build into, and has great cable management with Velcro staps already attached. Only problem I had, was with the clearance at the bottom of the case. I had to remove the Phanteks CPU extension I had purchased to make room for the side panel to go back into place.
Also, if you don't pre-route cables before hand, the motherboard can get in the way of one of the cutouts at the top. The room you have to put your cables in and out of the way, is limited. I had to go in and do some remodeling before I could close it up.
Other than that small complaint, it's a great budget case that checks all the boxes.
Power Supply
Fully modular PSU, easy to install, enough power to run my PC. Great buy for a budget build.
Operating System
Windows 10....moving on.
Case Fan
This fan pushes a lot of air out of my case. I hardly notice that it is on. I will be picking up another one to replace the one that came with my case.
Beautiful montior. Got it on Craigslist, if you have a chance to get one of these. DO IT!
Love the clicky noise I get from this keyboard haha. The customization you get on this board is awesome.
Comfortable feel in my hand. Customization for RGB is a nice touch, but it's the way you can add weight to this mouse that sold me on it. Very responsive and the extra buttons on it just adds more to the customization experience. Great buy.
Fits my big head and does not feel too pressured on my ears. The cushioned ear cups makes in-game experience great...not so much for IRL when my wife wants to talk haha
Flexible extensions, easy to use. Adds that extra pop to my build that makes it that much sweeter.

Directv Signup Bonuses
This morning I received an email from American Airlines AAdvantage offering 25,000 miles for signing up for Directv. Since football season is about to start, I thought it would be a good idea to roundup the various specials for signing up for the service. You can earn free hotel nights, airline miles & even hundreds of dollars in cashback. Let's take a look.
Before Signing Up
These offers all require a two year contract with Directv. While getting free stuff for signing up is good, there is no point in committing to a two year agreement with steep cancellation fees if you aren't already going to sign-up for television service. With that out of the way, lets look at some of the various offers.
3 Big Offers – American, United & Hilton
Three of the biggest and well known offers available are from American Airlines, United and Hilton HHonors. By signing up for Directv you can receive 25,000 miles from American, 30,000 from United or two free weekend nights at just about any Hilton in the world. (I believe the certs work the same as with the Citi HHonors Reserve card.)
By signing up through each of the various links below you get:
- Free genie upgrade
- 3 months of HBO, Cinemax, Showtime & Starz for free
- 2015 NFL Sunday Ticket included for free
Offer Links
- American AAdvantane Offer – 25,000 Miles
United MileagePlus Offer – 25,000 MilesUnited MileagePlus Offer – 30,000 Miles
- Hilton HHonors Offer – 2 Free Weekend Nights
HT: Thanks to DaninMCI for letting me know that the United 30K link was still working.
BeFrugal or Simply Best Coupons Cashback
If you aren't into the whole travel thing, then you can do quite well by going through either the BeFrugal or Simply Best Coupons portals. Right now BeFrugal (referral) is offering $220 cashback and Simply Best Coupons (referral) is offering $221 for signing up for Directv through their portal. Pretty good and the package comes with the same genie upgrade, free premium channels and Sunday Ticket, but there is one difference.
When I clicked through the portal links I noticed that you receive the public offer that is found on the Directv website. Instead of the base package being $29.99 per month for a year like with the other offers, through BeFrugal & SBC you only pay $19.99 per month. Basically, it is like another $120 in savings over the Hilton, United and American Airlines offers.
Which Is Best
Since I consider the BeFrugal & SBC offers to be worth $340 ($341) they are probably the best overall value for most people. 25K or 30K miles can be more valuable, but only if you use them for international redemptions, meaning you would need to pool them with other American or United miles since this bonus won't get you far by itself.
The offer that has the most potential of value is the Hilton offer. For example, I am using my 2 free weekend nights from the Reserve card at the Grand Wailea in Maui in October. I believe the Directv free nights work the same way. For the two nights of my stay, the cost of the hotel is almost $900. Unfortunately a lot of people will probably redeem their certificates in much cheaper properties.
Honorable Mentions
Southwest is offering 12,500 points through their portal (with the extra $10 off too). Barclay's Rewards Boost is also offering 15,000 miles or around $150, although I would just go for the straight cashback portal deal from either BeFrugal or Simply Best Coupons. You can see all of the portal payouts for Directv over at Cashback Monitor.
Shop Around
I am not advocating Directv over any other service. When shopping for television service or just about anything else, you should find the best price and package that works for you. The main purpose of this article was to present the top bonus offers for signing up for Directv since I know a lot of people will most likely be switching as the football season begins.
If you are looking to sign-up for Directv, the worst thing you could do is go directly to their website. By clicking through in the correct way, you can get hundreds of dollars, thousands of miles or even two free nights in five star hotels. Great deals all around if you are already in the market for television service.
