by Helen Gorman
Back in February 2015 we featured the amazing Erika Braun, who was attempting to qualify for the Olympic Trials at the age of 44. As the qualification period came to a close, the 50m freestyle sprinter unfortunately came up just a little short, but her journey is inspiring and her message to younger swimmers should resonate around the sport.
In 2012 Braun set a life time best of 26.32 to qualify for the Trials at the age of 40, beating her previous best of 26.60 set as a 16 year-old. This time around, she was chasing a time of 26.19 to qualify.
Here's a short interview conducted by one of her sponsors, blueseventy:
What were your fastest times of the qualifying period?
I had the opportunity to train full-time during a sabbatical last year from Feb. – Aug. 2015 with my employer Golden Corral Corporation as the Director of Human Resources. In August 2015, I swam my fastest time for this effort at U.S. Masters Nationals with a time of 26.53. After returning to work, I was able to swim 26.58 during the MN Arena Pro Series meet in November 2015.
How do these times compare with the previous few years?
With a more concerted training effort, I was able to get a bit faster recently than in the years immediately following 2012 Olympic Trials.
How did you find the experience of taking secondment from work?
I was so fortunate that Golden Corral allowed me to take time off last year. It went by so quickly and before I knew it, I was back at work full-time. During this time, I was able to increase my strength training and enjoy more recovery in between workouts. The recovery time was very important as it allowed me to work harder during training.
In addition to training with my USA-S team Marlins of Raleigh and my Masters team, Raleigh Area Masters, I also had an opportunity to train with NC State's sprint group and Assistant Head Coach Todd DeSorbo. Their specific focus on speed and power in addition to sprint specific drills was great! Since their workouts were midday, I would not have been able to train with them while working full-time.
What key things did you learn?
I have made a concerted effort to continue eating better nutrition and fuelling my body before and after workouts. During a busy workday, it's easier to run through a drive-thru for fast food. To avoid this I have to plan ahead and pack healthy lunches and stock protein bars in my desk.
On occasion, I would do separate sprint workouts on my own after work with parachutes and a tempo trainer to keep up the sprint workouts. This helped retain some of my speed work from the summer training. Our Masters coaches also attended an NC State sprint clinic in Dec. 2015 and incorporated sprint workouts into our Masters practices.
What were the highlights of your qualification campaign?
The highlight was definitely the support and encouragement I received. I was really overwhelmed by complete strangers approaching me to congratulate and encourage me for my efforts. Last weekend, one of the swim parents, who was also a meet official said she had been watching me compete all weekend and I inspired her to consider joining her local Masters swim team. Although my focus was on this singular goal and I fell short, it really made me feel good for the response from others I received.
I was disappointed to miss out on the trip back to Omaha, but it was great to have this goal to work toward and the journey that it led me on. I really loved competing and was so fortunate to be able to compete at this level with kids more than half my age. I'm very grateful to Coach Paul Silver for letting me train with his kids since 2011 and be a part of his team. My Masters community, friends and coaches were all so supportive as well. My husband, Eric, was incredible to encourage me and travel with me all over the country to meets chasing 26.19.
What's next for you?
Most likely, my focus will now be on Masters swimming and competing with swimmers my own age. Our North Carolina team have a tremendous amount of fun going after FINA Masters World relay records, so we'll probably try to tackle a few more of these this summer. We are very excited to move into a home we designed and are building later this summer. It is a modern home that is completely accessible for Eric to help overcome some of the challenges he faces with his MS.
What is your advice to young swimmers who maybe missed the cut?
We had a few swimmers on Marlins of Raleigh who narrowly missed their Trials cut and my heart went out to them because they train so incredibly hard. However, they were so positive and continued to cheer for their teammates. Although our sport can be very individual, goals are never achieved alone. It teaches swimmers the meaning of teamwork, hard work and goal setting to prepare them for future success. My advice would be to remind them that the first step to success is often failure, and it's just part of the journey.
Can you tell us a few words about why you wear blueseventy?
blueseventy has been so incredibly supportive over the past few years as a sponsor. Their Nero suits provide incredible compression and fit my body type best. The top cut is snug and does not allow water or create gaps and I can actually get the suit on fairly easily. The Nero14 has a great fit with light material that allows me to ride high in the water.
Aptly named to suggest 70% of the earth is covered in water, blueseventy is the world leader in the pool, triathlon and open water wetsuits and swimskins. Since 1993, we design, test, refine and craft products using superior materials and revolutionary details that equate to comfort, freedom from restriction and ultimately a competitive advantage in the water. blueseventy products have instilled confidence in beginners as well as carried world-class athletes to countless Olympic and World victories.

Walnut tree and shade
We tore out all the landscape bushes 10 years ago and now need info on what shrubs will tolerate shade and a walnut tree. The tree is at the southwest corner, only 3 feet from the area we want to plant. The south side is in shade all day due to the walnut, an Oak and a giant cottonwood. What shrubs and perennials will work well in that setting? The west side of the house receives only a little sun at the end of the day. I have tried to do some research but I don't know what to buy. We live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, Zone 4. Thank you.

So you're already studying, and you have so many things on your mind. You're helping organize the college fest, you are also participating in it, and you are worried about your final semester exams, which are coming right up. In all this, where do you have the time to intern and get some experience? The hustle bustle of college life leaves little room for a life outside the campus.
But that is quickly changing. Internships are gaining popularity among students as well as employers. Both groups are actively working to ensure that internships get the recognition they deserve. We are slowly coming out from the marks and grades oriented approach to one that gives equal importance to practical experience.
As a student, you talked to your seniors, counselors, your parents, your parents' friends' children and just about everyone else while figuring out what career path to choose. Based on that feedback, you picked a field of study and here you are, in college, still figuring out if this field is really for you.
An internship will let you explore the possibilities that lie in that field. It will also tell you if you are a good fit for the field or not. There have been many instances when students initially went to study engineering and switched to management, or left their liberal arts course to study science. These decisions must not be taken lightly, and an internship will be your guiding light in making such a decision.
Employers prefer work experience, even in the form of an internship, to no experience at all. Such an experience on a resume makes the candidate automatically more attractive and suitable in the minds of recruiters for a job. It saves them time and money that would go into training a candidate who has no idea what to do on the first day of the job. Granted, not a lot of us know what to do on the first day, but someone with an internship will definitely know who to approach and where to begin.
There are numerous reasons why an internship is important in your job search. One of the most significant advantages is that you can hone your personality with the overall experience an internship will provide. You will be more savvy about how an office works, who to approach, how to write an email and how to dress. This might not seem like a huge advantage, but employers will be delighted to have someone on board who knows their basics.
Also, skill building and networking 101 are both learnt at an internship. So when you begin that dream job, you are already a step ahead of your peers. And you have absolutely nothing to lose from an internship, but everything to gain.
While studying, we feel as if things will be easy because we got amazing grades in every exam. However, the bridge from books to real life is quite different and difficult. As an intern, you will have crossed that bridge before applying for your first job. Your internship will help you test the waters of your chosen career. And we love a trial before doing the actual thing, don't we?
Gone are the days when only exam scores mattered. Even colleges choose to conduct group discussions and personal interviews before admitting students. You are much more than your mark sheet. An internship is the chance to showcase what you can do outside a classroom. When you have a degree in one hand and a list of experiences in another, your job search will take on a new meaning. You will know exactly what you want to do with your career, and that kind of clear mindedness is just what a person needs to succeed.
Once you have crossed the bridge between books to an internship, the next bridge between internship to full-time job gets easier. You have the advantage of having an extra feather in your cap. With hundreds of online websites listing available internships in practically every possible field of study, there are no limits to what you can do and where you can do it. You can even choose to do an internship out of India!

What is a DSS file?

DSS is a format that's designed for spoken words and optimized for human speech. It is sometimes known as the MP3 for speech, but it is highly compressed and optimized for the smallest filesize possible. DSS was created by the International Voice Association in 1994. It is commonly used on older digital dictation recorders made by Olympus, Philips, and Grundig Business Systems. However, modern voice recording equipment does use higher quality, larger files.

Alabaster Shadows
Vol.1Graphic Novel - 2015
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The story was written well enough to engage the middle school audience this book is intended for, but the character art looked so messy and inconsistent that I ended up only skimming by the half-way point to see where this was going.
When Carter and Polly Normandy move into the Alabaster Shadows development, they're not optimistic. They don't know anyone. All the houses look the same. The head of the Community Council clearly despises children. Then Mr. Randolph, who works in the development's office, asks them to watch for anything strange. What a weirdo, thinks Carter… until he finds something in their new basement that should not be there. Carter discovers that other kids at school have had strange experiences. They never would have guessed what their investigation uncovers.
Doucet's art is a little messier than I usually prefer, but it gets the job done. Gardner paces out the action and danger well, giving the reader points to breathe.
For team #WeNeedDiverseBooks, of which I am an enthusiastic member, note that Polly and Carter are biracial, with a white dad and a black mom. I'm definitely pleased to have a children's graphic novel with a POC lead character. But all the other major speaking roles are white characters, which seemed a little strange. My favorite character is Polly, and I'm hoping she gets a bigger role in the second volume, which would help balance that out.

In 2018, the University of Seoul (UOS) became a 100-year-old university. The university's centennial was celebrated through special events and projects, including the construction of a new building, the Centennial Anniversary Hall. Located near the main entrance of the campus, the Centennial Anniversary Hall opened its doors to students and citizens on August 31. The UOS Times introduces some trial and errors of constructing the Centennial Anniversary Hall and some facilities situated in this building. Let us look through this monumental hall from the past to the present!
Twists and Turns in the Development of the Centennial Anniversary Hall
In 2010, UOS unveiled its "Campus Master Plan 2020;" a strategic plan that was intended to guide the development of new buildings, coexisting alongside historic and contemporary structures and sites. These new buildings to be constructed included an Engineering Building and the Centennial Anniversary Hall, which was originally referred to as the Citizens Culture Education Center before its completion. The plan also called for the renovation of existing buildings including the University Center and the Natural Science Building. However, due to budget cuts from the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG), not all of the goals were achieved.
Despite great difficulties in securing permission to go ahead with its development plans, UOS finally got the go ahead in 2015 from SMG to build its Centennial Anniversary Hall. In 2016, the former Music Hall and Gymnasium were demolished to make way for the new structure, and a groundbreaking ceremony was subsequently held on the site.
By the fall of 2017, the construction of the Centennial Anniversary Hall was nearing completion. However, on December 9, 2017 a fire broke out inside the building. While the flames were quickly put out, a month-long safety inspection ensued to decipher the fire's cause, thus delaying construction. Fire damages were repaired by early March 2018 and construction continued up until the unveiling ceremony at the end of the August summer month.
A Trip to the Centennial Anniversary Hall with The UOS Times
Before trip, The UOS Times would like to explain some structures of this building. The Centennial Anniversary Hall consists of three building structures: Ga-dong (Complex A), Na-dong (Complex B), and Da-dong (Complex C). Building structures A and C are six stories high while building structure B of the Centennial complex is eight stories high. All three structures are interconnected from the first to third floors. Now let us take a trip into the Centennial Anniversary Hall!
First floor: Indoor Sports!
When going two floors of stairs down, visitors can find a new Gymnasium, which was sponsored by Woori Bank. Upon entering the basketball court, you will see a massive electronic scoreboard, spectator seats, and even an amplifier to cheer on the home team. You will also see a handball court to the side of this multifunctional sports facility, which also contains a fitness room and a space for practicing golf swings. However, one frustrating thing is that the reservation system for these facilities has yet to appear on the UOS gymnasium webpage (physical.uos.ac.kr). The UOS Times hopes that this minor problem will be corrected in the near future.
Ga-dong (Complex A): The New Archives of UOS
Upon entering the fourth floor of Ga-dong, you will come across the new university archive. Within the archive, one will see a detailed timeline of the development of UOS. Pictures and explanations chronicling important campus events await visitors to the archive. Some of the photos date back to the early years of UOS when our university was known as Kyung Sung Public Agricultural College. The archive also has a video room where you can watch interesting documentaries, including video interviews recently made with alumni who graduated in the 1960s. These video interviews provide us with some interesting insights into campus life and the learning environment during that period of time. Interestingly, the video room is designed to resemble a lecture room from that era.
Na-dong (Complex B): A New Library and Symbols of a more Eco-friendly Campus
When looking at the exterior of Complex B, you will notice that one side of the structure is covered with solar panels. As in the case of several other university buildings, the presence of these panels shows the university's commitment to transforming itself into an eco-friendly, sustainable campus.
Within Complex B, you will see a new medium-size library. The Centennial Anniversary Hall Library is a welcome addition to the three existing libraries located elsewhere on campus. Unlike the other libraries, this one offers students opportunities to watch movies and listen to music using new multimedia devices. DVD discs are arranged on shelves similar to the many books one will find. Also, eight study rooms are situated in this library. These would be helpful for preparing team projects and studying for exams with peers. Note that if you want to use this facility, you must reserve to librarians who is in front of the entrance of this library and put a student identification card (ID card) who would be representative of reservation to them. When finishing up the project and leaving this room, do not forget to take back your ID card! Another interesting feature of the new library is the presence of large windows facing gardens with many flowers and other plants. If you feel tired from your studies you can exit this section of the library to enjoy some fresh air and relax. The UOS Times highly recommends students to make a trip to this new library.
Beside these facilities, Complex C in the Centennial Anniversary Hall houses offices and lecture rooms for the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), and the Department of Music. The Centennial Anniversary Hall offers memories of the past, enjoyment of the present, and the promises of a delightful future. The UOS Times hopes to visit this monumental building, not only with students and faculties on UOS but with those on other universities, citizens of Seoul, and even foreigners who want to study and travel into UOS.

Devotional: We lift our arms to heaven
We all worship in different ways. Some of us praise God in a quiet way, keeping our joy and thanksgiving inside our hearts and minds, silently offering them to God. Others of us cannot sit or stand still as we clap our hands, raise our arms, singing our worship in a spirit of outward expression.
Both ways, and anything in between, if done in sincerity and honesty toward God, are acceptable and honorable to our God, who deserves all our praise.
As we think specifically about our posture when we worship and approach God, there seems to be something special about lifting our hands and raising our arms toward heaven and God. These worshipful gestures may symbolize our desire to reach out and touch God, to invite his presence into our lives, and to unite ourselves with a person outside of our selves.
This physical reaching toward God during worship and devotional time may also be a cry for help and strength for our daily walk, or a specific crisis in our lives.
I am reminded of the story in the Old Testament when the Israelites were fighting one of their early battles after they came out of Egypt. Moses watched from a nearby hillside with his arms raised toward heaven, toward God for strength in the battle. As long as Moses' arms were raised toward God, the Israelites pushed back the enemy. When Moses' arms dropped down, however, the enemy began to win. Moses' arms were a symbolic channel for God's grace and providential intervention.
I recently ran across an article from the Associated Press written by Rob Maaddi. The story was about a 29-year-old wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles named Jason Avant who raises his hands to heaven after each catch of the football. As the story unfolds, we begin to realize that Jason is celebrating much more than catching a pass or scoring a touchdown.
Maaddi writes, "Jason was 12 when he started selling drugs. He went to elementary school high on drugs and alcohol. Jason soon joined a gang on the South Side of Chicago, surviving shootings, and running from the police. Yet, somehow and with a praying Granny, Jason escaped that life unlike so many of his friends."
On May 4, 2003, Jason met Jesus and his life was changed forever. He turned his back on his former life and began to study the Bible even more than his football playbook.
Jason testifies today, "When I lift my hands up, it's me saying 'Lord, I know where I could be and I thank you for where I am.'"
So as we face each new day, each new work week and each new season, maybe we can say, "Lord, I thank you for being with me yesterday, last week, and last year. I know where I could be without you, so I want you to be with me in my todays, and go with me into all my tomorrows. I lift my hands to you in praise, honor, and thanksgiving."
Just as the people of the Old and New Testaments and Jason, the professional football player, were people with an eye to the future, we too can look ahead with expectations from a God who keeps his promises. We look, our hands lifted toward the God of the past, present and future, the God of hope, made possible by Jesus who became one of us.

Considering its title is "Significant Other," one walks into the theater expecting a play about romance – and you wouldn't be wrong.
As this bittersweet comedy introduces its quartet of main characters, however, it becomes clear that playwright Joshua Harmon is more interested in a different connotation of its titular phrase, which could easily be used as a description of friendships forged during those heady years between youth and adulthood, the kind you share with people who feel like extensions of yourself.
It's the kind of connection shared by Kiki, Vanessa, Laura, and Jordan – four former college chums who have made the transition into adult life as young professionals in New York City. The play begins with them gathered to celebrate Kiki's upcoming marriage, the first to occur within their tight circle. Jordan – gay, approaching 30, perennially single, and with no romantic prospects on the horizon – is hard hit by this development. Despite an ebullient exterior, he has a tendency toward insecurity and obsession, and he worries that his friends will find love and leave him behind. Inevitably, of course, the other girls are soon heading toward the altar themselves, and Jordan, believing that his fears are coming true, spirals into an existential crisis.
Watching these friends navigate the rough waters of love and friendship, most audience members will doubtless recognize their own young adult selves. All the camaraderie and high spirits of youth are on display here, alongside the same hopes and fears that plague anyone who spends more than a few seconds considering their future lives. As the focus narrows towards Jordan and his panic, it's also easy to see reflections of the inner darkness that threatens to overwhelm most of us as we confront those hopes and fears – the negative self-talk, the self-pity and resentment, the catastrophizing, and the compulsive choices fueled by desperation.
These latter aspects of Jordan's journey are both hilarious and uncomfortable to watch. An upper-middle-class Manhattanite with Jewish heritage and an array of neuroses behind every self-deprecating one-liner, he is like a Woody Allen character transplanted into an era in which cell phones, emails and social media have turned the always-complicated process of finding love into a confusing maze of unclear boundaries and dead-end pathways. "Significant Other" is not the first play to explore this treacherous ground through the eyes of the millennials who must navigate it; but by giving us this richly drawn character as a guide, Harmon goes a long way toward making it one of the most insightful – and funniest – so far.
Another reason it works is its balanced perspective. Though its young characters are understandably caught up in the world as they know it, they are also tethered to the traditions of the past. The difficulty of staying within those old lines in an era that has completely redrawn them is a source of understandable stress – a fact which the play addresses through a series of scenes between Jordan and his widowed grandmother, which not only offer a comparison between the old generation and the new, but ultimately serve to provide the comfort that can be found in the wisdom of experience.
The angle that places the play most definitively in the rough transition between past and future, though, is the sexuality of its central character. Jordan essentially represents the now-common cultural trope known as the "GBF" (Gay Best Friend, for those unfamiliar with millennial text-speak), a status which would normally relegate him to a supporting role; here, though, Harmon turns things inside out, and tells the story through his eyes. Ostensibly, putting an out gay man front and center might seem to proclaim the arrival of an era some are calling "Post-Gay." Such an assumption, though, like that classification of our times, would be premature.
Throughout the play we see subtle hints that highlight how Jordan's queerness affects every aspect of his social experience. His girlfriends are certainly not homophobic, yet they struggle with finding a role for him within the rigidly gender-defined customs of their weddings. Even worse, he is crippled by his own internalized homophobia, instilled by a culture that favors hetero-normative couplings, and has tremendous difficulty making romantic connections of his own. If being gay isn't supposed to matter anymore, why does it still matter so much?
With his performance as Jordan, Will Van Vogt illuminates these observations brilliantly; at the same time, his deft comic skill and gay-nebbish charms keep them from turning what is meant to be a light-hearted romp into yet another tragic portrait of gay despair. Even more impressive is the way he carries the show; required to make rapid shifts of mood at an almost manic rate, he succeeds at every turn.
As Laura, his platonic soul mate, Melanie Field matches his energy – and his sincerity – to provide the heart connection that gives the play its emotional core. Keilly McQuail and Vella Lovell (as Kiki and Vanessa, respectively) are more directly comedic; they both score high on the laugh meter, while still providing the authenticity needed to make the central foursome a believable gang of friends.
John Garet Stoker and Preston Martin may have the most difficult acting duties of the production; tackling an assortment of roles, both exhibit tremendous versatility and each garners some show-stopping laughs – with some help from the deliciously satirical costume and hair designs by Bobby Frederick Tilley. Concetta Tomei, as Grandma Helene, brings a welcome dose of grounding maturity with a performance that is tender yet refreshingly unsentimental.
The whole package is tied up beautifully by director Stephen Brackett, who avoids indulgences that might skew the balance between comedy and drama. The characters' foibles are lampooned without a sense of cruelty, and the tender moments pull at our heartstrings without seeming precious; the result is both entertaining and emotionally satisfying.
"Significant Other" is not the kind of epic theater normally associated with seismic shifts in society. It's smaller than that, with echoes of influence from decades of movie rom-coms. It's also less likely to strike deep chords for older audiences, who might tend to see its characters and situations as humorous commentary on today's youthful "snowflakes" while observing their trials with the bemusement that comes with the distance of age – but then, it wasn't really written for them.
For younger viewers, especially those within the social bracket directly depicted in Harmon's setting, there is much here with which to connect. This is a play about looking at an uncertain future through the eyes of those who are going to live in it. It's for a generation whose lives are beginning in the here and now, and it speaks directly to them. I hope they will come to see it. They won't be disappointed.
"Significant Other" stars Melanie Field, Vella Lovell, Preston Martin, Keilly McQuail, John Garet Stoker, Concetta Tomei, and Will Von Vogt. Now playing at Geffen Playhouse, Gil Cates Theatre,10886 Le Conte Ave, Los Angeles, through May 6. Tickets available at www.geffenplayhouse.com

Jamie Michelle
Assistant Stylist
I have been in the industry since 2014.
I think what inspires me the most is seeing someone's reaction after we are all finished. The amount of confidence that can radiate from someone's smile after seeing their new hair color or style makes even the long stressful days worth it.
If I could be any animal I would be a dog. Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, clearly never had a dog.
I remember my mom and I coming to see Kirby back when I was in high school. She was a "regular" and I always needed a fancy updo for homecoming or prom. After working at different salon in Omaha for 4 years, I decided to make the leap and I couldn't be happier. It's such a personable atmosphere and all of my clients love it!
My favorite place would have to be my grandparents house or anywhere surrounded by family! At all of our Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings, we all get in a circle and count off before we eat to see how many people we have. It was something my great grandma LOVED. She always wanted to know how many people there were.
Call me old school, but my number one love will always be hairspray. I will always have one in my purse no matter how big or small. With one of my other passions being dance, I have strict rules before the girls go on stage. "Does your headpiece feel secure? Yes? Great. Spray it, and add 6 more bobby pins."

Taking the time to really research camping can ensure you have a successful trip outdoors! There is a bit more to this form of recreation than taking a tent and starting a fire. This article will give you a good deal of information that you can take with you on your next trip.
Camping often sounds like a great deal of fun, and it is; however it does require some special preparation. Before going camping for the first time, make sure you have done some research on tents, food and wildlife survival. It can make the difference between a great trip and a dangerous one.
If you will be camping somewhere that is very far away from civilization, then make sure you have told several people where you will be as well as how long you are intending to stay. Ask them to call you on the day you are supposed to return to ensure your safety.
Bring a first aid kit. Camping is fun. It can also be a bit dangerous. Always be prepared. Small scrapes and rashes can be especially common out in nature. Bring along an emergency first aid kit full of anything you might need. You'll be happy you did if something goes wrong.
If you have special drinks that you like, take them with you camping. It is easy to forget things like green tea, hot cocoa or your special blend of coffee. You can even take wine if it is a romantic camping adventure. Just don't forget to pack a corkscrew.
Kids love to camp, but make sure you plan activities for them. Boredom is something that you will want to avoid at all costs while camping. They may not be used to thing like fishing and pitching a tent. Allow them to practice these activities prior to going camping if they're not that experienced with the outdoors.
Giving yourself enough time to enjoy your camping trip is key. Plan out your trip far in advance and get a couple of days off from work if possible. You want to enjoy yourself camping for at least a few days, that way you feel like you got the full experience out of it.
When preparing for a camping trip, people often fail to bring enough clothes. Remember that there will be no washing facilities, and you also need to think about how the weather can call for certain specific attire as well at times. You always want to be prepared, so pack accordingly.
It is important to have a flashlight when you camp, but make sure the batteries are fully charged. One way to be sure the batteries don't accidentally drain on the journey is to put them into the flashlight backwards. That way if the switch is accidentally engaged, they stay charged. Plus, you know where the batteries are.
Take along a fire extinguisher! You never know when a fire can spread. Being prepared to put it out quickly could save your life, your gear and the woods around you. Find one that is capable of putting out fires of all kinds to be sure you are prepared to extinguish them all.
It is a good idea to pitch your tent on a piece of land that is level. This will ensure you sleep better, which means you will have more energy for the next day. If you have to sleep on an incline, make sure that your head is tilted uphill.
Write down a list of all the essentials that are required before embarking on your trip. If you have to travel a long way to reach the campsite, this is particularly vital. Pack in advance to avoid the stresses of packing before your trip.
Before setting out on your next camping trip, check out your first aid kit. If there are any items that are missing, replace them. If any of the ointments or medications are low in quantity, remove them and replace them will a new package. Check the expiration date on topical ointments and medications and replaced any that are outdated.
As you can see, there are plenty of things you need to remember for your next camping trip. Many things will play a factor in your safety and the overall enjoyment of the experience. Use what you have read from this article, and you will have a better camping experience next time you go outdoors!

Are the semantic categories coded in words and grammar universal, a product of non-linguistic cognition?
Or are they largely conventions, free to vary arbitrarily from community to community? And what governs the variation that exists: can it be explained by geographic and/or genealogical processes, or is it essentially random? Questions such as these have elicited extreme and contradictory opinions from scholars over the centuries. In the Evolution of Semantic Systems project, we aim to test predictions arising from these positions by conducting a large-scale empirical study on meaning over extant Indo-European languages.
Answering these questions has broad implications. For cognitive science, this allows us to investigate whether some semantic domains are more prone to environmental, cultural influence than others. For linguistics, it allows us to trace the evolution of both form and meaning. For anthropology, we can discover how cultural history constrains or enables change in the meanings that we express in language.
The main aim of the Evolution of Semantic Systems project is to investigate how meanings vary over space and change over time. We focus on different kinds of categories: containers (kinds of objects), colour (attributes of objects), body parts (parts of objects), and spatial relations (how objects are related to one another).
Read more about about the aims of the project and the elicitation protocol.
Originally started at the Max Planck Institute for Psychoinguistics in 2011, this study has collected data from 20 participants in each of 67 languages from the Indo-European language family.
The project is carried out by members of the EoSS research consortium.

At the end of May, upon the release of Nadia Savchenko an entry appeared relating to Ukrainian folklore and the impossibility of two Ukrainian women (Ms Tymoshenko and Savchenko) sharing the same (Batkivshchyna) kitchen.
The entry concluded thus – "There seem to be no particularly good political options for Ms Tymoshenko when to comes to Ms Savchenko, and as has been written at this blog innumerable times, you either work for Ms Tymsohenko, or you work against Ms Tymoshenko. Ms Tymoshenko does not do "work with". Thus the Batkivshchyna kitchen is simply not going to be big enough for these two Ukrainian women.
Whilst it is clear that Ms Savchenko will continue to work for the release of other prisoners incarcerated due to political expediency, and no doubt she will actively employ her Ukrainian PACE delegation position to that end, Ms Savchenko is not going to be missing that many Verkhovna Rada sessions.
Time will tell whether heroines should remain heroines, or if in time they become tarnished by politics, but in the immediate future, as tweeted upon receipt of the splendid news of Nadiya Savchenko's release."
It is now clear that Ms Savchenko has already lost the ego/personality cult battle within Batkivshchyna to Ms Tymoshenko. Her political star will remain eclipsed by that of Ms Tymoshenko within the party and for the majority of the Ukrainian constituency too. Few do empty populism as well as Yulia Tymoshenko. Nevertheless, Ms Savchenko remains problematic for the Batkivshchyna leader when it comes to internal discipline and staying on "party message".
The 2nd August saw Nadiya Savchenko give a press conference – a press conference not sanctioned by Batkivshchyna. At least prima facie that appears to be the case with both Ms Savchenko, and the reaction of Sergie Sobolev of Batkivshchyna, giving that firm impression.
Without dwelling upon all that was said within the press conference and the deviations from the (current) Batkivshchyna Party line, the above quoted prediction of continued and energetic work toward the release of all Ukrainian prisoners by Ms Savchenko was more than apparent.
A cause that is rightful and moral undoubtedly. However the means to this end identified by Ms Savchenko will cause much debate.
This brings about Overton's Window, and how policy, however unpopular, radical, or simply stupid, can be maneuvered into a more acceptable, even main stream, policy position.
Ms Savchenko again reiterated previous statements that she be prepared to negotiate directly with the LNR and DNR, and that she had indeed secretly visited the region.
Fair enough.
But what mandate would she have in any negotiations? A de facto ombudsman for captured Ukrainian servicemen is not the same thing as being the de jure representative charged with negotiating their release – and many have been released through the efforts of the currently mandated representative. Further, it is not as though Iryna Gerashchenko allows the issue to drop from the governmental agenda, the "Contact Group" talks, nor from the media.
A response from "LNR leader" Igor Plotnitsky to her rhetoric stated "I think we can create a kind of a deputy group, of three persons. Basically, we can talk as a deputy to a deputy, if one wants to find a compromise and resolve the situation peacefully."
Well perhaps – although caution is required.
This is not a traditional Track 2 agent of change and/or influence channel. It is a channel that can easily become the channel of choice and inferred authority over and above the legitimate channel by one side but not another.
Differences between official and unofficial channels may very well complicate matters further and also be deliberately used to frustrate progress by any party concerned in negotiations when those differences are exploited. As painful and prickly as each day of further detention of prisoners is, especially for those detained, the short-term goals of releasing all such prisons require a longer-term vision with regard to concessions sought and made.
Indeed with insufficient care there is a real possibility that due to deliberate, or unintentional, mishandling of negotiations those detained could be held far longer than would otherwise have been the case.
Does Ms Savchenko have that longer-term view? Apparently not.
Upon making this offer of direct negotiation once again, she also announced a hunger strike in an effort to force the prisoner release issue stating the Ukrainian government and international authorities are inactive.
Batkivshchyna, via Mr Sobolev, were swift in making the following statement calling her decision an act of desperation – "The faction has never supported her hunger strike in the torture chambers of the Kremlin We believe that her health is much more valuable. – This is an act of desperation,"
Further Mr Sobolev went on to state that Ms Savchenko cannot influence the process of prisoner release from within the occupied Donbas nor the Russian Federation. Batkivshchyna therefore clearly not in favour of her having any unofficial, nor official mandate to do so, and the wiser heads within the party are obviously aware of the complications that may come from it. Unnecessary political complications and bad PR are not what populist parties thrive upon – they are about peddling populist angst whilst proposing no viable solutions.
Mr Sobolev, perhaps rightly, classified the declaration of Ms Savchenko as an act designed to "wake up" those involved to find new ways to facilitate prisoner exchanges. Nevertheless, Ms Savchenko had made the ending of her hunger strike conditional upon "positive results". With at least 111 Ukrainians held in captivity within the areas outside of governmental control, how many releases constitute "positive results" sufficient to end her latest hunger strike is an open question – and is also dependent upon the will of those with whom negotiations occur.
It remains to be seen how Batkivshchyna as a party, or more accurately how Ms Tymoshenko, will now deal with the issues of unsanctioned press conferences, policy statements that stray far beyond the (current) party line, and the latest hunger strike of Ms Savchenko.
Can Ms Savchenko pull Overton's Window, and Batkivshchyna, to a position more favourable to adopting her declarations and goals as party policy? Maybe – but doubtful.
Overton's Window is usually a window that requires looking through for quite some time to witness progression from what begins as unthinkable to what becomes policy. It is more likely a reader will see Batkivshchyna empathy – but not robust Batkivshchyna support – with regards to the questionable political means Ms Savchenko proposes to arrive at rightfully humanitarian ends.

The Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) is the US Navy's latest addition to its arsenal in order to target ships. It is designed to search for and find enemy ships, and destroy them using onboard AI.
The LRASM is a cruise missile that is set to replace the ageing Harpoon and will be the Navy's first new missile in over three decades, notes a report by Popular Mechanics (PM). This missile can operate in so-called "denied" environments – regions where GPS and other location-based tech is not active or is unavailable – by using sensors to locate targets that are otherwise not possible to find.
LRASM locates its targets using a method inspired by the B-2 stealth bomber, the report says. The missile is equipped with a passive sensor that is constantly looking for radar signals as all ships make extensive use of radar to make sure they are not under attack. This missile will not broadcast any signal, but it just searches for a radar emitter and then flies towards it.
The new missile and its target ship can be likened to two people hiding in a dark room, with one person having a torchlight. While it is possible for the one with the light to make sure that there is no one else in the room, just turning it on will give away their position. The missile works in a similar manner, using the target's radar emitter to locate the ship.
This makes it nearly impossible for the target to defend itself. If a ship wants to protect itself, it needs to keep its radar on, and if the radar is on, it can be sniffed out by LRASM, notes the report.
The missile's artificial intelligence (AI) can also sniff out developing threats in real time, detect them, and either evade or fly around them. Also, once LRASM gets near enough to its targets and spots multiple vessels ahead, it can easily differentiate between threats and makes use of its onboard library of enemy vessels to choose the right target. So if there is a group of vessels ahead, the missile will know that a destroyer is more valuable than a frigate and choose the bigger target.
Apart from choosing the right ship, this missile can also target the right spot on the said ship. An aircraft carrier, for example, can be put out of commission if its 'island' – command centre – is destroyed.
Even in bad weather, or with ships that are difficult to spot because of their shape, this missile can find them because it does not use any radar for location.
The system is called Electronics Support Measures (ESM), notes PM. While this tech is not new and has been used in the F-22 Raptor, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the B-2 Spirit bomber, this is the first time that it has been made compact enough to fit into a missile form factor.
ESM not only reads and looks for electromagnetic signals from radar, it even identifies them. It filters out all other 'noise' and homes in only on its target. Its scanning arc is also wider than radar arcs, notes the report, increasing accuracy and eliminating uncertainty to a great degree.
With a range of 200 miles, and a 1,000 blast fragmentation warhead, this missile can effectively take down a 9,000-tonne destroyer with one, well-placed shot, according to PM.
The report also mentions that the US Navy has ordered a set of 23 LRASMs as of now and that hundreds more, if not thousands, are likely to be built and used.

Hamilton takes first GP win of 2009
Lewis Hamilton completed a remarkable turnaround in McLaren's fortunes and claimed the first victory of his hitherto troubled championship defence in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
In a return to the pecking order seen prior to this year's massive rule changes, Ferrari took second place with Kimi Raikkonen - a poignant result with the Finn's team-mate Felipe Massa still in an induced coma in a Budapest hospital.
Mark Webber made further inroads into Jenson Button's championship lead, as the Australian took third on a day when Button could only manage two points for seventh. That result made Webber Red Bull's leading contender in the championship, for his team-mate Sebastian Vettel retired with suspension damage, a legacy of a startline brush with Raikkonen.
As expected, the KERS cars surged forward off the line, with Hamilton squeezing past Webber into second behind pole-sitter Fernando Alonso, and Raikkonen jinking past the slow-starting Vettel to take fourth, making contact on the way past. The incident, which eventually forced Vettel to retire after he had limped through his first stint, will be investigated by the stewards after the race.
Webber managed to slip back ahead of Hamilton on the exit of Turn 1 as the McLaren went slightly wide, but the world champion returned the favour four laps later, using his KERS boost to get alongside the Red Bull into the first corner, forcing Webber to cut tight, and then accelerating past into Turn 2.
Hamilton then set off after Alonso, who had made an early break despite fuel pump problems, but was making his first of three stops on lap 12.
That stop proved to be the end of his race, for as he rejoined it immediately became obvious that his right front wheel was loose. The wheel completely detached itself as he nursed the car back to the pits, and the consequent damage eventually forced him out.
While that left Hamilton clear to dominate the rest of the race from the front, Webber found himself behind Raikkonen after a very close call in the pitlane - the Red Bull pulling out right alongside the Ferrari and having to jink aside. Webber was then further delayed when the yet to stop Timo Glock got between them on the out-lap.
The top three then stretched out, with Raikkonen falling away from Hamilton in the second stint and Webber similarly unable to keep up with the Ferrari.
Hamilton proceeded to clinch his second Hungarian GP win - an incredible result given that his McLaren was being eliminated in Q1 as recently as Silverstone, and that he had not scored at all since Bahrain.
Webber closed on Raikkonen after the final stops, but to no avail, and in the process pulled away from Nico Rosberg's Williams, which had looked like it might threaten for the final podium finish at times. While Webber had been unable to capitalise on Button's lack of pace with a win, he at least narrowed the championship deficit to 18.5 points.
Heikki Kovalainen brought the second McLaren home fifth, having hassled Webber during a short middle stint, with Timo Glock's extremely late first stop allowing him to run as high as second and come through from 13th on the grid to sixth for Toyota.
Button never had the pace to get near the top five, with his radio transmissions suggesting he was baffled by his car's lack of performance.
He at least managed to get ahead of Jarno Trulli's Toyota for seventh at the final stops, the Italian having also gained ground earlier by running long, leaving Trulli to fend off Kazuki Nakajima (Williams) and Rubens Barrichello (Brawn), the latter having been shuffled a long way down the order at the first corner.
Jaime Alguersuari completed an uneventful first grand prix in 15th, beating his Toro Rosso team-mate Sebastien Buemi after the Swiss driver lost time with a mid-race spin at Turn 2.

Before you hit your last beach days this summer, you might want to read this.
Some interesting and perhaps promising findings for sun worshipers have come out of Tel Aviv University recently. Researchers have found a link between many of the foods found in a Mediterranean diet and skin cancer prevention.
Dr. Niva Shapira from the university's School of Health Professions published a study that showed that "a diet rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, like the diet eaten in Mediterranean regions where melanoma rates are extremely low, can help protect us from skin cancer." Shapira believes that these foods help prepare the body to fight the sun's UV rays that damage the skin.
In the study, two groups were given different types of beverages over a two-week period. One group was given a drink that was high in antioxidants. The other group was provided other drinks like soda.
Those who hydrated with the antioxidant-rich drink had 50 percent fewer oxidation products (i.e. MDA) in their blood at the end of the two-week period, which included five to six hours of exposure to the sun daily. Further studies proved that these antioxidants, especially carotenoids — fruit and vegetable pigments like red from tomatoes and watermelons and orange from carrots and pumpkins that accumulate in the skin where they serve as a first line of protection — had delayed the phenomenon of skin erythema, which indicates the initiation of tissue and DNA damage that can lead to skin cancer.
So, what are some of the foods in the Mediterranean diet that can be found on American grocery store shelves (or even in your own backyard garden)?
- Olive oil
- Olives
- Fresh fish
- Vegetables – leave the skins on when possible
- Fruits – particularly berries
- Red wine – in moderation
- Beans
- Whole grains
- Nuts – pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts and roasted peanuts
- Spices – cloves, cinnamon, oregano

Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the human body and can withstand forces of 1,000 pounds or more. But it also the most frequently ruptured tendon.
Both professional and weekend athletes can suffer from Achilles tendinitis, a common overuse injury and inflammation of the tendon.
Common Disorders of the Achilles Tendon
What Is the Achilles Tendon?
A tendon is a band of tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. The Achilles tendon- the longest tendon in the body runs down the back of the lower leg and connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. Also called the "heel cord," the Achilles tendon facilitates walking by helping to raise the heel off the ground.
Achilles Tendonitis and Achilles Tendonosis
Two common disorders that occur in the heel cord are Achilles tendonitis and Achilles tendonosis. Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon. This inflammation is typically short-lived. Over time the condition usually progresses to a degeneration of the tendon ( Achilles tendonosis), in which the tendon loses its organized structure and is likely to develop microscopic tears. Sometimes the degeneration involves the site where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone. In rare cases, chronic degeneration with or without pain may result in rupture of the tendon.
The symptoms associated with Achilles tendonitis and tendonosis include:
- Pain-aching, stiffness, soreness, or tenderness within the tendon. This may occur anywhere along the tendons path, beginning with the narrow area directly above the heel upward to the region just below the calf muscle. Often pain appears upon arising in the morning or after periods of rest, then improves somewhat with motion but later worsens with increased activity.
- Tenderness, or sometimes intense pain, when the sides of the tendon are squeezed. There is less tenderness, however, when pressing directly on the back of the tendon.
- When the disorder progresses to degeneration, the tendon may become enlarged and may develop nodules in the area where the tissue is damaged.
As "overuse" disorders, Achilles tendonitis and tendonosis are usually caused by a sudden increase of a repetitive activity involving the Achilles tendon. Such activity puts too much stress on the tendon too quickly, leading to micro-injury of the tendon fibers. Due to this ongoing stress on the tendon, the body is unable to repair the injured tissue. The structure of the tendon is then altered, resulting in continued pain.
Athletes are at high risk for developing disorders of the Achilles tendon. Achilles tendonitis are also common in individuals whose work puts stress on their ankles and feet, such as laborers, as well as in weekend warriors those who are less conditioned and participate in athletic only on weekends or infrequently. In addition, people with excessive pronation (flattening of the arch) have a tendency to develop Achilles tendonitis and tendonosis due to the greater demands placed on the tendon when walking. If these individuals wear shoes without adequate stability, their over-pronation could further aggravate the Achilles tendon.

This recipe has been submitted by the Good Food community. Sign in or create a My Good Food account to upload your own recipe creations. Please note that all recipes will be moderated but they are not tested in the Good Food kitchen.
Save to My Good Food
- 1 Bruschetta (enough for 2 people)
- 1 Garlic clove
- 250g squid
- Crumb topping (recipe below)
- Pesto (make your own, or use the jar variety)
- 1 chili
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Zest of 1 small Lime
- Juice of 1 small Lime
- For the crumb topping
- 50g breadcrumbs
- grated zest of 1 lemon
- 25g grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- salt and pepper
- Cut the squid along one side to open it, then cut it in half. Lay the 2 halves on top of each other and slice strips, about 1cm wide. De-seed the chili and chop as finely as you can. Pop the squid, chili and lime zest into a bowl and mix the olive oil in and add some seasoning. Leave this to marinade for about 15 minutes.
- While the squid is marinading, cut the bruschetta into quarters (half vertically and then horizontally).Drizzle olive oil over the 4 slices
- Heat the griddle pan until its nice and hot. Place the bruschetta in, inner side face down. Push down slightly with a fish-slice or something, so the griddle can mark the bread.
- Take the bread out of the pan once its golden and has the dark griddle stripes (about 5 minutes or so). Rest to one side. Once cooled rub the garlic clove over the bread and spread pesto onto each slice of bread
- To cook the squid simply heat a frying pan until hot (no need for oil in the pan!). Drop the squid into the pan, making sure each bit is touching the surface. Saute for a couple of minutes (the squid will start to curl, depending on the thickness)
- Once cooked, spoon onto each slice of bread. Spoon the crumbed mixture onto each slice of bread.
- Place the 4 slices under a pre-heated grill. Keep an eye on the topping and once it starts to golden take it out (probably 2 mins max)
- Put the slices onto a plate and squeeze some of the lime juice over each one
- Serve with a side salad

Finished Andrew Culp's Dark Deleuze this morning. In a previous introduction: Andrew Culp: Dark Deleuze – A Short Summary I summarized the basic task Andrew set forward. In this short review I add a few thoughts and impressions on finishing this work. It's a short read and in some ways acts more like a toolbox of tasks, a heuristical conclave of tuning devices that chart the dark thought of Deleuze, making visible the shadowy sensations and counter-logics of a new escape plan that has been covered over in so many positive and joyous commentaries over the years; shining the light on his creative rather than destructive projects. Andrew seeks redress this by teasing out those various concepts and abstract engines hidden this more critical apparatus. As Andrew states it he task has been to bring about the "death of the World" by which he does not mean the physical annihilation of the earth so much as the destruction of our false Image of a certain kind of Thought that has captured Deleuze's conceptuality, hijacking it into capitalist modes of affirmation and joy that have twisted and corrupted the very power of his war machines. Instead Andrew seeks to critique "connectivity and positivity, a theory of contraries, the exercise of intolerance, and the conspiracy of communism" (66).
In fact, what he means by this "World" he seeks the destruction of is the very one that the Deleuzian bandwagon of joy and positivity, connectionism have built, the one based on notions of "rhizomes, assemblages, networks, material systems, or dispositifs" (67). For Andrew this World of the Light Deleuze of Joy has worked in apposition to Deleuze's intent, and instead has been easily hijacked by capitalist modes of productivism, accumulation, and reproduction. Against this he proposes to attack what he terms the "greatest crime" – that of the joyousness of tolerance. Following Wendy Brown he sees this regulatory ethic of political correctness as part of the "grammar of empire," a discourse of ethnic, racial, and sexual regulation, and as "an international discourse of Western imperialism on the other" (67).
Ultimately this new intolerance is not about becoming "obstinate," rather it is about finding "new ways to end our suffocating perpetual present" (69). We have been cut off in an eternal present without future for some time now: what some term "presentism": the notion of using or abusing past to validate ones own political beliefs. We heard this from the Neoliberals starting with the demise of Socialism in the old regimes of Soviet Russia and Maoist China. The notion of the End of History, no other alternative to capitalism, etc. This notion that we are now living in a totalistic or global civilization where there is no escape, no exit, etc. It's against this false presentism that Andrew offers "escape," saying:
"Escape need not be dreary, even if they are negative. Escape is never more exciting than when it spills out into the streets, where trust in appearances, trust in words, trust in each other, and trust in this world all disintegrate in a mobile zone of indiscernibility. It is in these moments of opacity, insufficiency, and breakdown that darkness most threatens the ties that bind us to this world. (70)"
Ultimately we must "all live double lives" (69): "The struggle is to keep one's cover identity from taking over." By which he means one's life with one foot in the old world of neoliberal fakery and compromise, and the other foot moving into the flight path of escape, crafting "new weapons while withdrawing from the demands of the world" (69).
Andrew Culp's work is an open promise more than a fulfilled abstraction, a set of questions more than solutions; yet, in the end it offers one a "thousand flowers" of thought one can absorb and incorporate into one's daily struggles while one forges links of solidarity with others not by way of joy and connectivity, but rather through the conspiracy and secrecy of darkness and escape.
