This is one of my absolute favorite topics to talk about, because you can have all the strategy, tactics, and tools in the world, but if you don't have the right mindset going into it, you are going to struggle BIG time to launch your biz into the 6 figure and beyond mark. In this blog post I go over 3 essential mindset shifts you need to scale past 6 figures and find success for female entrepreneurs.
Free Guide: 5 Essential Steps to Get More Clients (Even If You're Just Starting Out)
Mindset Shift To Scale Past 6 Figures For Entrepreneurial Success #1: YOU ARE ENOUGH & Imposter Syndrome is Just Your Limiting Beliefs Showing Up
This is a topic we will talk about forever, because everytime you reach a new height in your business or do something new in general, you WILL face imposter syndrome problems, unless you're a magical unicorn. I have an entire blog post where I go in depth on how to overcome imposter syndrome so that when these moments strike you have the tools to get past it quicker. Read the full blog post here.
One of the biggest mindset shifts we need to make as entrepreneurs is realizing we are enough just the way we are. It's SO easy to look at other successful entrepreneurs and start comparing yourself in every area. Remember, these entrepreneurs most likely are…
Only sharing the highlight reel (unless they're awesome and sharing the real shit) or
Have been doing this WAY longer than you
I've heard SO many entrepreneurial success stories, and every single one of them (including myself!) says to put your blinders on. Stop paying attention to what everyone else is doing, and if you find someone in particular making you feel less than (even if you like them and they're providing value), UNFOLLOW them or "Mute" them on Instagram. If seeing their success is making you paralyzed and feeling like you're not enough, then it's not worth it to see what they're doing. There might be a point where you can look at their success and get INSPIRED, but until that moment happens, unfollow them. And if I'm one of those peeps to you, I take zero offence–I want you to do your best, and if that means unfollowing me or anyone else you might look up to-so be it.
Put your blinders on.
This could be an entire message on it's own, but to go along with "you are enough", remember you are also "worth it." You are worth having the success you're going to have. You are worth gaining clients that you love working with. And most importantly you are worth INVESTING in yourself and your business. I promise you, if you invest in yourself, whether it's going to a personal development seminar or event or in a program or a coach, you will UP LEVEL your life and your business. Hands down. EVERY SINGLE investment I've made has been worth it–even if it didn't turn out to be exactly what I thought it would be, I did gleam some insight in some way in each investment that made me better off because of it.
While Client Attraction University enrollment is closed, we do have a bunch of mini business courses that can help you attract new clients that you can view here.
**Money Mindset book I HIGHLY recommend to every new entrepreneur (or even seasoned entrepreneur!) is Jen Sincero's, You are a Badass at Making Money. You can get it here.
Mindset Shift To Scale Past 6 Figures For Entrepreneurial Success #2: Failures are Just Learning Experiences...Nothing More.
How do I create a six figure salary as an online coach or female entrepreneur in general? And while it's not a sexy answer..my answer simply is…
You could have the best laid strategy in the world, do everything the "right way", and still have launches that fall short of what you wanted or predicted, or people say no to your coaching when you thought they were a PERFECT fit. It's going to happen.
And the ONLY way you get to that 6 figure and above mark is by failing a SHIT TON. Again, like I said in point 1, so many entrepreneurs don't share their FAILURES. They only share what has gone WELL.
So here a few failures I've had:
*Barely increased my income AT ALL in my first year and a half in my Network Marketing business
*Had my Network Marketing income cut in HALF after hitting above 6 figures #scaryAF
*Launched a macro mini course that got MAYBE 3 sales…#wompwomp
*Launched my coaching to CRICKETS the first time I forayed into my own health + fitness biz outside of my Network Marketing company
And the list goes on. There are too many to list. But each one taught me something, and I became stronger because of it. I learned what TO DO and what NOT TO DO after each of these experiences.
Then I tweaked, pivoted, and had a better go around the second time.
My recent launch of my Client Attraction University program sold out in THREE DAYS. I was FLOORED. But this wasn't my first launch. I had done this before with less than stellar results. SO…I had learned what TO do and NOT to do, and even then, like I said above, there will be times things don't turn out the way you hoped because of unforeseen circumstances.
If you can attack each perceived "failure" as a true learning experience, and really look at it as a detective–what worked well, what didn't, what do we have to tweak for next time?
Then you will go into each launch with a more confident and powerful mindset, not putting SO much pressure on yourself to be perfect, knowing that failure is literally AN ESSENTIAL STEP to success.
Mindset Shift To Scale Past 6 Figures For Entrepreneurial Success #3: Consistency + Time is the Secret Sauce
This goes in line with entrepreneurial success mindset shift #2, but telling yourself over and over again that as long as you STICK WITH IT long enough, you WILL have success is CRUCIAL.
The secret to success….
Consistency + Time = SUCCESS
It's really that sexy 😉
But truly…one of the things I ALWAYS told my team when i was in Network Marketing was "the secret to success is doing this EVERY SINGLE DAY." If your biz tasks include liking and commenting on people's accounts, DM'ing 10+ people a day to build relationships, writing content daily, doing market research, etc, then you WILL have success if you do these things DAILY. It's when you do it for a week or two and expect the skies to open up that people mistake for "consistency." I mean, doing those things everyday for MONTHS and then YEARS. THAT'S consistency baby.
And if you think about it, if you bust your butt and do these things consistently for a YEAR and can build a kick-ass 6 fig biz because of it…wouldn't you think it was worth it? When you consider what a YEAR of your life is like? A YEAR. It's NUTS.
Steps to Make Yourself Consistent
So right now, write down a list of tasks you know you need to do daily and weekly in your business to have success.
Then schedule these tasks into your google calendar. LITERALLY put it in google with the specific task you're doing so you sit down to work and know EXACTLY what you're going to do
Hire a coach or join a group coaching program or accountability group. If you can't invest in yourself right now, at least join a free entrepreneur group (my #prettyawkward one is pretty great–and you can join here) and get an accountability partner in that group. Accountability is CRUCIAL when it comes to making hard and long-term changes in your life.
If you start applying these 3 entrepreneurial mindset shifts NOW, you are setting yourself up to be one of those entrepreneurial success stories and make a six figure salary with your business in 2019.
Tell me about you! Do you struggle with staying focused to boom your business to 6 figures and feel like you're holding yourself back? Which of these tips will you implement?

The conversation started off with the weather changes we are experiencing in Canada and quickly progressed to natural global cycles. Do you believe that the world is in a natural state of warming that will change to a natural state of cooling and a second ice age? Or do you believe humans have accelerated the warming and by doing so have changed the natural global cycle of warming and cooling? Or are you like many families and just don't care either way?
For the first time since 1971 Canada has a nationwide White Christmas. Many areas are in the deep freeze that don't see below freezing all winter in Canada. Yes not all of Canada is a frozen wasteland, in fact not much of Canada never was a perpetual frozen wasteland.
Is the weather getting worse, more chaotic or has it always been the same intensity it is the increase in population and communication that has changed our perception of the weathers intensity?
Is it worth the gamble to be laissez faire about the state of the environment? Can we change the way we consume to make a difference or is it too late? Does it matter if your family recycles or not? Do you want to gamble our home on it?
I believe it matters, if every family, every home and every business made changes to the way they consume, shop and think about the environment then the world would have a chance to heal and our children's children will have a clean home to live in.

Oral bacterial vaccines for the prevention of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis
Arandjus, C and Black, PN and Poole, PJ and Wood-Baker, R and Steurer-Stey, C, Oral bacterial vaccines for the prevention of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis, Respiratory Medicine, 100, (10) pp. 1671-1681. ISSN 0954-6111 (2006) [Refereed Article]
DOI: doi:10.1016/j.rmed.2006.06.029
Oral vaccines using killed bacterial extracts have been used to prevent acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, they are not recommended by current clinical guidelines. Two systematic reviews have been published on the efficacy of oral vaccines. The first, on the effects of an oral whole-cell nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae vaccine (NTHi) found a significant decrease in the incidence of acute episodes of chronic bronchitis (Poisson rate ratio 0.666; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.500, 0.887; P=0.005), and a 58% reduction in the prescription of antibiotics 3 months after vaccination. The second review evaluated studies that used multicomponent vaccines. It found that the duration of exacerbations was significantly shorter in the treatment group (weighted mean difference -2.7 days, 95% CI -3.5 to -1.8). These reviews suggest that oral vaccines reduce the number, severity, duration, or both, of acute exacerbations. However, many of the primary trials on which they are based are small and methodologically flawed. Further trials are needed before the use of oral vaccines could be considered as part of the routine clinical management of patients with COPD or chronic bronchitis. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Halloween has finally arrived, and your little monsters have been planning their costumes for months. But before the trick-or-treating commences, you need to take a few safety precautions. Why? "Halloween ranks right up there next to New Year's Eve and July Fourth as the holiday that results in the most injuries," says Dr. Steven Kairys, Medical Director at K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital in Neptune. For a parent, that statistic is more terrifying than any ghoul, goblin or Donald Trump costume.
Here are 10 ways to drastically reduce your kids' odds of ending up in the ER on Halloween — and to make sure that the only scares they experience are the safe kind.
DO Put Reflective Tape on the Back of Your Child's Costume
A frightening fact: "Halloween is the deadliest night of the year for pedestrians," says Kairys. Little ones can unexpectedly dart into the street, but even older kids who are trick-or-treating on their own, without a parent's watchful eye, are even more vulnerable to this kind of danger. Double-down on safety with a few costume tweaks that your kids will barely notice: Reflective or glow-in-the-dark tape, glow necklaces, light-up accessories and flashlights all increase the likelihood that drivers will see your kids in the dark.
DON'T Assume Older Kids Will Be Safe in a Big Group
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children between the ages of 10 and 14 incur the most injuries. Perhaps not surprisingly, boys are two thirds more likely than girls to get hurt. Kairys theorizes that this is because when teens and tweens are in unsupervised herds, they tend to be rambunctious and take more risks. What to do? Sit them down and talk about potential dangers before sending them out on their own. "About a third of parents talk to their kids about safety [on Halloween], but that's only a third," says Kairys. "That's a lot of parents not talking to their kids about safety. They need to be very clear about the issues."
DO Hem Costumes
Kids are klutzy on a regular day. On Halloween, when they're in outfits that are too long and don't fit properly, the odds of a wipe-out increase exponentially. In fact, broken bones and lacerations are a top reason for trips to the ER on Halloween. So pull out that sewing kit and do the necessary nips and tucks to avoid unnecessary trips and falls.
DON'T Allow Your Child to Carry Sharp Objects
This seems like common sense, right? Wrong. "On Halloween, all bets are off," says Kairys. "I see a lot of parents who are usually very careful and conscious about this, but on Halloween, they do things in the rush to make their kids happy." To protect kids' eyes, in particular, make sure that lightsabers, swords and the like don't have sharp edges. And ideally, younger kids should only carry props made from soft materials.
DO Avoid Costumes with Masks When Possible
Aside from giving adults the creeps, masks can obscure a child's vision, leading to bumps and falls. If there's a way to maintain the integrity of the costume without a mask — say, with some fancy makeup application — opt for that instead.
DON'T Confuse Flame-Resistant with Fire-Proof
Nylon and polyester are safer, flame-resistant choices, but they can still catch fire. Minimize the potential dangers of burns by avoiding costumes with baggy sleeves or wide skirts, and remind your children to keep a safe distance from lit jack o'lanterns and decorative candles.
DO Be Wary of Homes with Dogs
Even the sweetest, most mild-mannered pup can get freaked out on Halloween. After all, a small child might be delighted that his overenthusiastic "Boo!" makes a dog bark, but the dog might not be quite as amused and return that enthusiasm with a bite. This is one of those issues, says Kairys, that you should talk about with your kids before heading out: "Say, 'If you go up to a strange house and the dog starts barking, that's a good time to step back.'"
DON'T Rely on Older Siblings to Watch Younger Ones
Yes, brothers and sisters can look out for one another, but that shouldn't be a substitute for parental supervision for kids under the age of 12. As Kairys rightly points out: "A 5-year-old going out with a 9-year-old brother … I don't think that's the kind of safety that a family should be looking for." Bottom line: Your 9-year-old may be responsible — but only up until a point.
DO Continue to be Vigilant About Food Allergies
The good news, according to Kairys: "Most parents are very aware of their kids' allergies, and the kids are very aware of it, too, so they're careful to inspect every little thing. You'll see some of it [in the ER] on Halloween, but I don't think it's any worse than going to a school party." The even better news? Families are taking part in the Teal Pumpkin Project, an initiative to bring awareness to food allergies and provide trick-or-treaters with alternative, candy-free treats — like stickers, bouncy balls or bubbles — so kids with allergies don't feel left out of the fun. If you see a pumpkin painted teal on a doorstep, you're good to go!
DON'T Leave Halloween Bags Unattended Around Younger Siblings
Toddlers and crawling babies are sneaky and lightning-fast when they want something. The something in question on October 31st? All of the potential choking hazards (aka, small candies) in those Halloween buckets. Keep candy out of reach, but also make sure to have age-appropriate treats and toys on hand to keep them happily occupied.

Time is running fast and August is just around the corner. It's my favorite month of the year; I long for it, and I also dread its arrival. It means my birthday is coming up – and getting older stopped being funny a few summers ago.
It always makes me think back. What have I done this year? What dreams did I follow, and which did I leave buried in the drawer of never?
I should've written a bucket list years ago. I never really had one, because my dreams changed as I grew up. I'm not done growing, though. I always feel like I'm just winging this whole adult thing (if someone knows how to do adulting in a proper way, please let me know).
So as July enters its final stretch, here is my bucket list for the next year. And the next. And the next.
- Visit Canada
- Try Kombucha
- Learn a fancy vegan recipe
- Buy all of The Beatles' records in vinyl
- Go on a road trip across the U.S.
- Learn how to roller skate
- Bike in Santa Monica
- See Pearl Jam in concert
- Interview Mark Zuckerberg
- Study Italian
- Run a 10k
- Visit Machu Pichu
- Write a book
- Take a photography course
- Visit Apple's spaceship campus
- Drive a Tesla
- Do boxing & self-defense classes
- Volunteer at a homeless shelter
- Volunteer at an animal shelter
- Have a photo shoot (before I look like I'm 150 years old)
- Start my own website
- Learn how to play a musical instrument
- Be hypnotized.
I guess I'll update it if something else comes along. What's on YOUR bucket list?

The Astronomical Observatory of the Aosta Valley autonomous Region, completed in 2003, is a unique facility for the features and the variety of instruments it offers.
The observatory, which also includes a meteorological station, features a helium physics laboratory, a computer room, an educational program including two indoor exhibits and a "Sentiero dei Pianeti" (Planet Pathway) made up of a series of illustrated panels depicting the Solar System.
The astronomical instrumentation installed in the Observatory is among the most important in Italy and in Europe. All equipment is networked so as to manage multiple devices from a single workstation while keeping a view on different astronomical objects at the same time.
This modern equipment allows for high level scientific research, educational activities for teachers and students, as well as quality astronomical popularization.
Scientific research
The Observatory collaborates with other national and international scientific bodies and is active in a number of important research projects:
- Extra-solar system planets project: the goal of this project is to search for small radius planets around red dwarfs near the Sun.
- Active galactic nuclei project: studies the light of galaxies billions of light years away through the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) international consortium.
- Asteroids Project: studies the composition, position and period of the asteroids of the Solar System.
- Solar corona project: this project led to the development of an innovative tool designed for missions in space and tested during the total eclipses of the Sun in Libya (2006) and French Polynesia (2010).
- Atlas research unit: basic research produces new knowledge and technologies that also find applications in other fields and the Observatory is the leading partner of the Atlas research unit for technology transfer.
Astronomy also involves other disciplines such as physics, mathematics and chemistry, and also involves history, geography and art.
Educational activities for schools of any level and order are also possible at the Observatory and the Planetarium: guided tours, daytime/nighttime observation activities as well as animation, practical-experimental and theoretical activities.
Popularizing astronomy
Reservations for guided tours required:
- daytime visit(1 hour) – explanation of the research activities with description of the scientific equipment, direct observation of the Sun and of its spectrum in the helium physics laboratory and connection to the space probes of the NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) via the web.
- nighttime visit (2 hours) – observation of the sky with the naked eye and by using telescopes from the educational terrace with description of the main constellations visible and of the celestial objects observed through a telescope.
Outdoor observation areas
The outdoor observation area arranged in the western part of the perimeter of the Observatory has been open to the public since January 2013 and consists of 12 plots each one 9 square metres large, protected from the light pollution of the valley. These areas can be used by individual amateur astronomers or by groups up to 30 people for daytime and nighttime observations of the sky with the naked eye (with the necessary protections in the case of solar observation), with one's own equipment and for photo shooting.
All plots are perfectly flat and oriented with the diagonal parallel to the Earth's meridian. The area features a LED lighting system and 3 electrical boxes, each with 12 power outlets. For costs and reservations, contact the Observatory's secretariat offices.
Planetarium – virtual journey in the cosmos
The main entrance to the Planetarium is facing the road that crosses through the hamlet of Lignan, near the turn-off to Clemensod.
The projection room has 67 comfortable seats. The outer dome is 12 metres in diameter while the inner one, designed for the projection of the simulated sky and of informative films, has a 10 metre diameter.
The apparent motion of the starry vault can be reproduced in the Planetarium, promoting a true understanding of the Earth's rotation and revolution effect through the real vision of the sky, or observing the sky at different eras and in different locations in terms of longitude and latitude. The sky projected on the dome is a computer simulation, created through the coordinated work in parallel of 6 computers. The operator controls the projection from a real console where two additional computers are operating as well.
Each show is a real virtual journey in the cosmos lasting an hour to discover the constellations in the sky at every season, admire planets, nebulas, galaxies in computer graphics and learn about the most interesting phenomena of physics connected to them.

Nautical Notices.
Crown And Blundell Islands offMorrison Island, Coast of China.
The following extract from the log of the ship Blundell forwarded to m W Com. It. Collinson, Rn., surveying on the Coast of China, is important to vessels navigating that yet unknown part of the world.
Extract from the log of the ship BltmdelL "The general appearance of Morrison Island is barren and rocky, with few trees, it is, perhaps, 10' long, and highest at the south-east end.
"There is a large village on the south side, and the valley behind beautifollj cultivated. The houses appear of stone and well built
"The position of the easternmost island agrees exactly with that given by the Amoncan ship Morrison, to one named after her; but no notice is taken by her, or in any other chart of the larger one.
"It is 15' from Morrison Island and extends 30' in an N.N.E. and S-S.W. direction. OfT the south-west part of it, and separated by a channel of half a mile, or a mile, is another small island, and 10' or 15' S.W. is a fourth, four or five leagues long, which is Crown Island. The large or Blundell Island a higher than the others, and liable to be thought one with Crown Island when seen from the westward. It is very uneven, composed of high sharp peaks. Crown Island lower and more level with a large village on the south-west side.
"Latitude 28° 04' N., longitude 129" 38' E.
The Basses—Ceylon.
Ship Tigris, Trincomalee, Sept. 1st, 184a Sir.—Having occasion to pass inside the Great Basses on my passage from Colombo to the above named harbour, I found the following ledge of soundings stretching out from the rocks in a north-cast direction. Extract from the log of the Tigris. "Aug. 28th, llh. 40m. Am.—Fresh breezes at south-west, with fine clear weather.—Saw the Great Basses bearing S.E.b.S., one mile and a half. Hauled out south-east, at 12h. 20m. P.m.; the rocks bore S.W.b.S., one mile and a half; steered then north-cast eight miles, with the rocks bearing south-west, and had the following soundings, viz. 9. 10. 12. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 6j. Had one cast of six fathoms when five miles from the rocks."
As there arc no such soundings laid down in Horsburgh's or the Admiralty charts, (all of which I have), I take the liberty of sending the above correct soundings, running out from the north-east end of the Great Basses.
I am, &c,
John Svmons,
[A question arises as to whether these soundings were taken at equal intervals of distance from each other, which wc should feel obliged to the master of the Tigris to answer.—Ed.]
The Anna Suoal, Reported In The Atlantic.
We record the following statement although " the shoal" reported seems to have been the wreck of o vessel. The master appears to have had the same Antipathy to dropping his lead overboard as others before him.
Extract from the log of the Sicilian brig Anna. "Tuesday, June 8th, 1841, P.m.—Ship sailing with all sails set.
"At 3 P.m. observed a shoal to tho south, distance about two miles, appearing to the eye like a ship with three masts of equal height, and inclining towards the south, and about fifty feet high, surrounded by shoals level with the water.
"Wind at the time being S.E.b.S.
"Having made seven miles to the eastward from noon to that hour." The weather being unfavourable, the master could not make any local observations, and was obliged to pursue his voyage to Naples.
(Signed) Marco Carmemch,
Master of the Anna.
Condado Bank, Panama Bay.
We understand that H. M. S. Actceon, Capt Russel, in working into tho bay of Panama on the 26th of December last, grounded on a bank called the Condado not laid down in the charts, with the following bearings.—Panama Cathedral W.b.S. the outer Perico island S.S.W. } W. The ship took tho ground from 4} fathoms, payed off before the wind and in ten minutes was again afloat. The upper part of Panama bay off the Town has very shoal water, and as there is no good survey yet made of it, a measure so highly desirable in these days of Steam Navigation, vessels are recommended not to make too free in standing inshore.
Princess Shoal, New Ireland.—From Mr. Purely.
July 4th, 6 A.m.—On the 9th of June 1829, tho Princess Royal sailed from Port Jackson, bound to Batavia; and she got through St. George's Channel on the 2nd of July, at 8 p. in. ; that day it became quite calm, we found tho ship had driven alongside a steep bank or reef, but the water was so very smooth it was some minutes before we discovered our danger. The kedges were immediately got out, but the water was so deep they were of no use. Got the boats abreast and endeavoured to tow her head off but could not. At 2 a.m. a light breeze springing up from the southward when she immediately went off, cut the warps and made all sail. Whilst alongside the Bitik, the water was so smooth that we scarcely felt the touch. The latitude is 4" G' S., and longitude 151° 37' E. of Greenwich, and lies directly in the fairway of ships steering to the westward from St. Georges Channel—the extent could not be ascertained.
Soundings along the side of the bank, starboard five chains 9 feet, mizen chains 7 feet, larboard five chains 11 fathoms, mizen chains 12 fathoms, under the fore foot 5 fathoms, under the stem post 5 fathoms dash; at a ship's length to the northward no bottom at 50 fathoms. Bearings from the ship whilst alongside the bank.
Cape Stephens S.W} W. 12m., Point marked A. J S.b.E. E. 11m.—True bearings.
The Money Shoal—Arrafixra Sea.
The following is an important addition to the charts of this sea.
Dean March, Bristol, Sept. 21, 1841.
Sir.— I take the liberty of sending you information of a coral shoal which I
passed over, in the Ship William Money on my late voyage from Sydney
towards India, by way of Torres Straits, three other ships were in company
viz., Lady Clarke, Livingstone, and King William, and our longitudes ugrccing within two mrlcs, the said shoal lies in 10° 19» S. latitude and 13?5 47 E. longitude, its extent about 5 miles, and the shoalest cast we had was H fata***. 1841, at 2 A.m., saw land a head, luffed and cleared it; it appeared to be an island five or six miles in length, running N.E. and S.W., with a high round bluff on the N.E. end, with low land to the S.W.; between the N.E. and S.W. ends there appeared a valley covered with ice and snow; we passed it within a quarter of a mile, going at least ten knots, latitude 59° 20' S., longitude 120° 20' W. The latitude and longitude may differ a few miles, by reason of not having had proper observations for several preceding and following days. This island is not laid down in any of our charts.—St. John, N.B., Courier, Aug. 21.
It is probable, that shortly this shoal may become very dangen-os »»i I could find no danger placed in any of my charts near the above *a;ua»«; perhaps you may think it worthy of notice in your truly useful and esawt publication, and may be of aervice to some of our frieads sailing in the Testa Sea.
I am, &e.
S. Gscex,
To the Editor, $c. Late Commander of Mp William Mottj.
The following extracts from the Shipping Gazette contain new and impcrtiBt matter to seamen :—
Ntw Buoy At Bahia.—The French consul at Bahia Informs » by lettn. that a red buoy will bo placed on the sand bank which extends from Fort GanUa, or St. Marui li'n, to opposite tlie Obelisk, at the public garden. On entera^, this buoy must be passed on the right; the same is placed at a depth of t\ fathoms at low water. The necessity of placing a buoy on this bank ia skora by many ships hairing touched on the amine lately.
Light Vessel At Sayana.—Custom-house Sayana, Aug. 9—The fouowng information in relation to the floating light near Martins Industry, and the bettings and distance from it of adjacent points, is deemed of sufficient interest to mariners to render its publication proper. The floating light is moored near Martins Industry, in latitude 31° 7' N., longitude 80° 34' W., and has ibe following soundings:—At high water, 6) fathoms; common tides, 5}; to* water, GJ; Tybee lighthouse bearing S.W.b.W. i W., distance 15 miles: Hilton Head bearing N.W. J N., distance 8 miles; Bay Point bearing N.N.W.| H'., distance 8 miles.—James Hunter, Collector.
The following notices will place seamen on their guard until we can obtain more precise accounts of the dangers alluded to. The "Red Cliffs'' is an ambiguous term which we trust the harbour-master will explain to us. With respect to the rock off Sea Elephant Island, having consulted Capt. rVickbarei survey, we believe the rock lies N.N.E. from the body of the island within the distance specified, instead of S.S.W. as would appear from the account.
Another rock stated to be off the west end, is about midway between tat north and south extremes on the western shore. *
Port Philip.—Capt Lewis, the harbour-master, has very kindly furnishei us with the following maritime information :—" Opposite the Bed Bluff, on the eastern side of the harbour of Port Philip, there is a sunken rock, with eight ft et of water above it at three-quarter flood; its situation is about two nJes W.b.S. from the Red Cliffs, with deep water close to the edge of the rock.""
No. 1—Kings Island.— The N.N.E. Rock.—Off Sea Elephant Island, is Bass Straits, about four miles, there is a rock visible at low water, but co\errf at the flood. The body of the Island bears by compass from the rock, N.N.K.; at half-tide it is visible above water to the size and height of a whale boat.
No. 2—Kings Island.—The Midway Rock.—The rock off the west end of ft'lp Island, Bass Straits, some account of which was formerly published in u* »ielbourne papers, lies in latitude 39° 51' instead of 40- 9' as was formerly
son ll118 elTor '" lhe PuI>lislwul "ccount (which might lead to serious elo
quences) escaped Capt. Lewis's attention at the time it appeared, in cou*Huencc of his absence at the Heads.— Port Philip Patriot.
Obleana Reef.—China Sea. *■
The following is a very important shoal communicated to the Shipping Gazette, and we recommend our readers frequenting the China Sea, to lose no time in transferring it to their charts. It is evidently a continuation of the cluster of reefs, commencing with the London Reefs on the north, and extending southward of the Bombay Castle. By laying down the courses and distances, run by the Orleana, the crescent form of the reef, and the position of the ship is sufficiently apparent. Owens Shoal, alluded to by Captain Cameron, is considerably to the northward of the Orleana Reef.—Ed. N.M.
"On the 27th of May, 1811, about 8 A.m., on my passage down the China Sea, in the Orleana, with a light wind at south-west, saw a ripple from the deck; tacked immediately and took a cast of the lead; got eighteen fathoms. Next cast eight feet, the bottom seen plainlyfrom the deck—rugged black and white coral rocks. Then, heading W.N.W., but finding the water no deeper, kept nway N.N.W., the opposite course to that we had been steering on the starboard tack, keeping the depth of from eight to twenty fathoms, the bottom seen plainly in thirteen fathoms. From first sounding we had made about a northwest course six miles, when the Tipple was seen about a point on the lee bow; at 9h. 30m. tacked to the S.S.E. in about the same depths for three miles, when white patches were reported from the masthead on the weather bow bearing south. Not being able to weather them, at lOh. 30m. tacked to W.N.W. in seven fathoms, (six miles.) At this time, from the masthead, the shoal had the form of a crescent, and the ship embayed in the middle of it j the southern extremity white patches, and the north-west a ripple, as far as the eye could reach. Stood on the larboard tack, W.N.W., in the same depths, when about noon it suddenly deepened to forty fathoms, and shortly afterwards no bottom, with 120 fathoms of fine. Noon—lat. observed 7° 5G' north, long, by chronometer, at 9 A.m., Ill0 38'east. I had, by daylight, reckoned to be clear of Owens Shoal, which I now believe this to be a part of, or very closely connected, for the following reasons, (see the supplement to Horsburgh's Directory, Cape 643.)—The description Horsburgh gives of its appearance under the ship, agrees exactly with what was seen from our deck, but only in extent about two mill's. If connected with that which we were on, he must only have passed over a small portion of it He gives the lat. 8° 8' north, long. 111° 59' cast. At 9 A.m. our latitude, deduced from noon, was 7" 53' north, and long, by chronometer, 111° 38' east, both of us having good observations. At that time the white patches were seen from our masthead several miles to the southward. That it cannot be of less than twenty miles or upwards, in a S.S.E. and N.N.W. direction, as it is the south-west extremity of the Archipelago of shoals in the China Sea, (for anything we know as yet,) it must be of importance for ships leaving China bite in the season to know its extent, if under the necessity of taking the Strait of Balabac. As the water was quite smooth and no current, I judged there was much less water where the ripple was than where we sounded; as for the bottom that was seen, we had no indication till right over it, and was always seen sooner from deck than aloft. I was anxious to sound in the ripple, but not knowing how soon we might want the boats for other purposes, did not make the attempt.
"Alexander Cameron. "St. Katharine'! Dock, Oct. 14, 1841." "Com. nftlie ship Orleana"'
Chinrsk Chops—.The reader has probably encountered in the jsMc journals, during the late transactions between the English and the Chinese some mention of the chops, or official documents of theCbiwe empire, and might like to know what is the appearance presented by sack documents. In the Museum of the Asiatic Society there is a " chop, the translation of which would probably not be a little curious. Itisibad of permit or license granted to the explain of the ship Sarah, fornimto depart from Canton with his cargo for England. This was the first ship which left Canton for England after the throwing open of the Chin* trade in 1834; having on board a cargo of silk, valued at £400,000. The chop is written on a sheet of paper, measuring about 3 feet by 2, and the writing with which the sheet is covered, in the Chinese chiracter, consists of an enumeration of the qualities, importance, aw virtues of the official personage who grants it; a statement of the reasons why the "strauger-person" is desirous of going to his o*n country; and an acknowledgment that all proper dues had beenpsiu, and observances fulfilled by the captain, and a permission to him to set sail.
Racks Of Lough Strangford.
Tub following information will be useful to persons unacquainted wili the dangerous nature of the tide at the entrance of Lough Strangford:—
Mr. Kditor.—It may, perhaps, be interesting, if not useful, to some of your readers to learn from authentic experiments, the rate of the tide in the narrows of Lough Strangford,—a port rendered so formidable by the Races off it as to be almost universally shunned even as a harbour of refuge. The tides at this port have been variously staled to run from eight to ten knots at the springs, and the frightful race which occurs upon the bar with southerly winds would certainly Und to that conclusion, but by actual experiment in the narrowest, and n>°« rapid part of the channel (between the Perches off Bankmore); *fi on a day when there was a rise of thirty feet at Liverpool, I found its rate something under seven knots, on both flood and ebb, as shewn below.
In order to give it a fair trial I steamed into the strongest part of the tide, and regulated the speed of the vessel so as to keep two na«5 abreast precisely in one, and then, by means of the patent log hauled in at each hour, determined the rate at which the water was passing uw vessel. We did the same on both flood and ebb, and as this con/in* several former experiments, of steaming into this Lough against spring tides, made without the log, I have no doubt that any vessel wi'n' fair wind, that will sail eight and a half knots, would enter the Long" at any time, provided she could steer through the Race.
In making these experiments I found a singular effect produced op" the engine whenever the vessel came near the whirls, at the edge of whicn the tide runs strongest. Until we came into these places the speed of the vessel was 9-2 knots, and the revolutions 22, but directly we enterM the eddy the revolutions were brought down to 19, and even IS, WTM the vessel could not be forced one foot over the tide which ran on)/ 6-9 knots. *

On November 17, 1966, more than 70 educational television stations presented a one-hour special, the National Food Buyers Quiz. The program was produced by WETA-TV, Washington, D. C., with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Consumer and Marketing Service.
1. A can marked "Orange Juice" must contain 100 percent orange juice. True or false?
True. If the can is labeled "Orange Juice" it must contain 100 percent orange juice. However, if the can is labeled "Orange Drink," or "Orange Breakfast Drink," it need not contain all juice. The same rules apply to all citrus fruit juices.
2. You should trim off the purple ink showing the grade or the inspection mark before cooking and serving the meat. True or false?
False. The purple ink used for these marks is completely harmless, and is as safe as the coloring used in the frosting on a cake.
3. Lower priced canned fruits and vegetables are just as nutritious as higher priced ones. True or false?
True, in most cases. Often the reason for lower prices is that the product is packed in light instead of heavy sugar syrup; it may be less tender; or the flavor and color may not be quite as good. But generally, the lower priced product will offer as much nutritive value as the higher priced one.
4. A picnic ham is a real ham. True or false?
False. Real ham comes from the upper part of the hind leg of a hog. A "picnic" is similar in flavor and appearance, but comes from the shoulder of the hog and is not real ham.
5. The best hamburger meat is ground round of USD A Choice or USD A Good grades. True or false?
False. Ground chuck of USDA Choice or USDA Good makes more juicy flavorful hamburger than ground round. An essential for good hamburger is the proper lean-fat ratio — usually 20 to 25 percent fat — so hamburger can be made from a variety of cuts in most of the grades.
6. Brown eggs are not as good as white eggs. True or false?
False. The breed of the hen determines the color of the eggs' shell. But there is no difference in quality, in spite of the fact that people in some areas think brown eggs are best and people in other areas think white eggs are best, just because they've grown up eating one or the other. Shell color doesn't affect the grade, nutrient value, flavor, or cooking performance of the egg.
7. The boss is coming for a backyard barbecue. You want to serve the best steaks you can find, to make a good impression. Would you buy —
(B) — Porterhouse is commonly considered the "best" steak because it has the most tenderloin. The tenderloin is the most tender muscle in beef. When served by itself, it's called filet mignon. But any of these would be a fine choice. T-bone steaks can be cooked the same way as porterhouse, but have less tenderloin. Club steaks contain no tenderloin, but they can also be used the same way as the others. Sirloin is more variable in tenderness than the T-bone, porterhouse, or club steak, but it's usually a little cheaper — and it pays to look for one in which the bone is small.
8. All fresh meat and poultry sold in the United States is wholesome because it is inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. True or false?
False. Only the meat and poultry produced in plants selling across State lines has to be federally inspected. USDA's Consumer and Marketing Service inspects about 85 percent of the fresh meat and poultry produced commercially in the United States.
9. The name of the product tells you nothing about whether there is more sliced beef than gravy in a product named "sliced beef with gravy."
False. Regulations require that if sliced beef is indicated first in the name on federally inspected beef and gravy, there must be more beef in the package than gravy.
10. The processor may substitute different chicken parts in place of the ones shown on the label, so long as they weigh as much as the parts which are shown. True or false?
False. If the processor shows a leg and breast on the label, they must be the parts inside the package. The label must truly represent what's inside.
11. There must be more beef than any other single item in frankfurters whose list of ingredients reads, "Beef, pork, water, salt, sugar . . ." True or false?
True. The ingredient that weighs the most must always be listed first whenever ingredients are listed on any meat or poultry product prepared under Federal inspection; the next heaviest must be listed next, and so on down the line.

Five Series to Start While You're Waiting for Star Trek Discovery to come back.
By Jacob P. Torres
The summer is general a wasteland for TV which could make it a good time to advocate for some books to read. If you're missing Star Trek: Discovery or SyFy's (now Amazon's) The Expanse as much as I am, you might like these books.
|All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
|Martha takes the trope of the murderous A.I. and turns it on its head. An A.I. that occupies the body of a highly advanced robotic soldier armed to the gills suddenly finds itself with sentience and a freedom to disobey any order its given. First order of business? Watch some trashy soap operas. Oh, did I mention its name is Murderbot? Yeah, that's what you get named when you accidentally kill your last owners because of a programming bug, but Murderbot isn't going to let that happen again, it just wants to be left alone. 5 out of 5 Cups of Tea.
|Dauntless by Jack Campbell
|If you need a series that will keep you occupied for a while Jack Campbell isn't gonna let you down. The Lost Fleet series is 11 books long but it's complete. Dauntless is the first book, it's a little rougher than the ones that come after. Captain "Black Jack" Geary is a legend that everyone thought was dead. Everyone was very shocked then to find him alive in escape pod in the middle of enemy territory. No one more than Jack Geary, who finds himself suddenly in charge of a fleet and in horror at the hero worship everyone is giving him. Now he has to find a way to bring this fleet home when he's hundreds of years removed from any of his family, and light-years from anything friendly. 3.5 out of 5 Cups of Tea.
|The Long Way to a Small , Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
|In this series Chambers has created something that evokes the feel of Firefly, the space opera setting, and characters that you'll fall in love with. This book follows the perspective of Rosemary Harper, the least like protagonist you'd imagine, the ship's new clerk. The crew of the wayfarer will redefine your meaning of ragtag, but the book is full of heart, inventive characters and worlds, and a whole lot of fun. 4 out of 5 Cups of Tea.
|Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig
|After Disney acquired the Lucasfilm empire, Disney gave Chuck Wendig an impossible job, write the first book (and first trilogy) in the new canon for the Star Wars universe. Wendig gets a kind of unforgivable amount of shit from sad puppies on the internet about these books, because how dare he create new characters, have females or LGBTQA+ characters as protagonists, set the stage for Episode VII, and write a fun book. It's not the best Star Wars book ever written but it's really solid and should be fairly accessible to people who have only seen the movies. And its real obvious Wendig loves the franchise and had a blast writing it. 4.0 out of 5 Cups of Tea.
|Star Trek: Seekers 1 – Second Nature
|I couldn't leave a Star Trek book off this list, so here we go. The Seekers series follows two crews over four books solving a typically Star Trek kind of adventure. This is a good starting on point for people that don't read Star Trek books regularly and features a completely original cast of characters that you've likely not seen before. The crews of the Sagittarius and the Endeavor (which is captained by the first in series female Muslim captain) adventures are written by David Mack who has written a kind of ludicrous number of Star Trek books, including one with the Discovery crew which I can't recommend because I haven't read it. yet. 3.5 out of 5 Cups of Tea.
The Best Books for World Book Day!
23 April is World Book Day, so Bree and I thought we would take a moment to share some of our favorite books from different genres than we normally share! Read the rest of this entry »
ANNOUNCEMENTS! Site Updates
This blog has been long in need of a revamp. Doing things solo can only get you so far and I've been fortunate enough in life to have friends who share my love of books and who, more specifically, love science fiction and fantasy. So, the TL;DR of this post is: I have a partner now and the site is revamping! <queue applause>
Who is this new dude?
Jacob Torres and I have been friends for almost a decade. We've been through ups and downs and have many things in common, but one of the biggest highlights of our friendship has been our shared love of all things geeky and most things bookish. I'm so glad to welcome him. But, I'll let him introduce himself.
Meet Jacob!
Hi, folks of the internet! Like Bree said, I'm Jacob and I have a lifelong love of all things SciFi, Fantasy, and in between. Be it Movies, TV, Games (Video and Board), or most of all books. I'm happy Bree and I have decided to start doing this together so I can have an outlet for some of the many thoughts I have on the genre. I'm also a big tea nut. Hence this new branding is a match made in heaven. You can find more about me if you need more in our refurbished "Who Are We" section. Now back to Bree!
What are we going to see now?
First and foremost, you'll see that the name of the blog has changed. About three years ago, Jacob and I started joking that we'd have a tea and bookshop filled with cats as a retirement plan. That plan is still underway, but we decided a while ago to call it "Low Tea Books" — because who needs classy when you can just have tea, cats, and books, right? We've kept the name and started early with this blog.
Why I'm trying this out
If you follow me on YouTube, you know I decided to do a video every day this July (or at least, I've decided to try it). I wanted to provide some context because I think it explains a lot of things, especially why I'm doing this project and where I've been the last few months, other than lurking around the internet like a ghost.
I wish I could make this a video, but honestly I don't know if I could handle it. I don't really know if I'll be posting this or if that post will stay up.
Three months ago, I lost my partner. He had a congenital heart defect and passed away. We'd been together for six years.
I've been, understandably, withdrawn since. The last three months have been pretty reserved.
I've joked for a long time about having pre-hermit tendencies and, to be honest, resisting them has been hard. It's been easy to withdraw and just spend my time quietly by myself cuddling kitten. I've been lucky on this front. I have a fantastic group of friends, both those near and far. My family and work have been supportive. My mother has been the goddess she's always been. So, I haven't totally withdrawn. But God knows, I don't feel anything close to myself.
So, going into the next few months, I'm really trying to push myself.
I know I'm not going to feel great every day. It's been hard to sit and enjoy reading. Part of me appreciates it as a relaxing quiet activity I can turn to instead of being social. Another part of me can't concentrate, or doesn't find the same enjoyment out of it right now. But, reading things I know I love is comforting.
I think doing a video everyday, in particular, is going to be very good for me. The structure and planning is a comfort, but it also encourages me to be creative and social. Those are two things I know I need right now. Moreover, they're things I would typically not seek out. Hermit tendencies are running pretty high.
So, please be patient with me. I appreciate you. And, know that if I go off the radar, I'll be back.
When people say… (or a Star Wars Ramble)
Sometimes I feel sorry for Leia Organa. She got the short end of the stick. Don't get me wrong. She's got a good deal of privilege, but having Vader for a birth father and leading the rebel alliance wasn't exactly a piece of cake.
But, in particular, I've thought for a long time that Leia doesn't ever get to be a real person, no matter who's talking to, at, or about her.
People have been posting this picture left and right on my tumblr and twitter since December. Not going to lie, it's been getting under my skin a little. I'm not going to talk about the tired Bikini Leia tropes, or about how her role is stunted after the first movie in a lot of ways. I'm going to focus on the alternate, newer trend in Leia love.
I'll never dispute the badassery of Leia. The woman can take on The Man with the best of us. She's gutsy and loyal. Her will is strong. As a kid, she was easily a favorite. But between the Leia as bad-ass sex icon and Leia as can-do-no-wrong purveyor of all things good, I can't help but think we're missing the point, all the points.
Preface to this: I've not read the extended Star Wars cannon. Though my wiki skills are on point, my first hand knowledge of the universe is limited to movies and the recent run of Star Wars comics. Since this is my place on the internet, I'm going to babble regardless. I promise to go get the newest Star Wars book this afternoon.
There seem to be a couple of fundamental errors in this statement, though, that have been under my skin.
We don't know if Leia has the Force.
So, the Dark Side is a thing specific to the force, right? There are mundane helpers of the Dark Side and regular, every day employees of the Dark Side, but we all know the truth: if there is someone who can be actively tempted by the POWER OF THE DARK SIDE, they've got to be in touch with the Force.
But, I'll give. I think her ability to sense Luke, her father, her son and husband are all pretty indicative of the force. We'll save the no-training injustice talk for later.
Even if Leia does have the Force, are we really claiming she has never been tempted?!
Leia has lost a lot of stuff throughout her life.
Her family is dead.
Her planet is destroyed.
She's had to wrestle for power in a system literally built to keep her from success.
Are we really so naïve as to claim that she's never been tempted?
The true fact is, we don't spend a lot of time with Leia. Her role in the story is to provide resources to the main male heroes and hopefully mentor Rey. Her story is not the focus nor has it ever been. She's put through a lot and can be because we don't have to follow her around. We don't have to watch her cry the night Alderaan is destroyed. We don't watch her rage at Vader or mourn the loss of the birth parents she'd never know. We don't watch her struggle to come to grips with a leadership role she never asked for but can't refuse.
Let's not lie. All signs point to a Leia Organa who is just a bucket of rage and determination.
What we like to think as a fandom is that she can go throughout all of that without a speck of self-doubt or temptation. But, that's certainly not the case.
And as we all know,
Luke is the obvious analog for Vader. He's meant to be. Too young, too powerful, too uncontrolled.
But the same can easily be said for Leia. Ruler of a people without the guidance of others, fighting and mourning at the same time.
That her rage would never lead to a desire for destruction, to disproportionately wound those who have hurt her most? Let's not be naïve. And if she does have the power, truly can be tempted by the Force, let's not pretend that she hasn't been. It's easy to justify trying to change things from the inside. The whole point is that the Dark Side is a temptation to even the strongest among us. Temptation to give in to the pain, doubt, anger, is universal.
True fact: Leia isn't strong because she's never been tempted. She's strong because she resists.
I haven't been overly concerned with the Sad Puppies this year. I've talked about this before, but the general level of vehemence and craze among the more moderate puppy group had seemed to die down a lot with the turn of a new Hugos cycle.
A few tweets went up regarding the Puppies list. I more or less ignored it. Lists happen, particularly with awards. It was a few days later that I noticed what was actually happening.
Twitter basically exploded, albeit quietly compared to last time.
The Sad Puppies list this year is considerably different from their past years' lists, including in some cases more recommendations that nominating slots on a ballot. Note that though the original intent claim was to post ten works per category this didn't happen, with more or less believability depending on category. It includes the usual suspects (Jeffro Johnson, the expected over-representation of Baen and Castillia House), but also includes Okorafor, Leckie, and Scalzi. If the Scalzi thing doesn't raise your eyebrows, you haven't been paying attention.
In truth, the Sad Puppies list includes some authors really worthy of awards and beloved genre-wide.
Unsurprisingly, authors have been requesting removal and posting objections to association with the Puppy Slate, including Alastair Reynolds, Cat Valente, and Peter Newman.
Should the authors have been asked if they would like to be included?
This is an interesting question. Normally, I would say no.
But, the Sad Puppies aren't just any old blog. Affiliated with the Rabid Puppies, Vox Day, and GamerGate, and the epicenter of last year's fiasco, I think they should have.
The Puppies' lists and base are rooted in controversy. They know that. Last year's slate led to withdrawal of nominees from the Hugo Awards ballot for the first time in decades. The desire to avoid affiliation with the Puppies runs strong and not without reason. While the Sad Puppies calmed their rhetoric a bit, it's clear that the self-positioning as interlopers to SFF being kept out by "SJW" cliques is being maintained.
Frankly, a good faith effort should have been made to contact every author listed on the SP recommendation list, regardless of past affiliation, leanings, or talk. There's too much controversy for that not to be a minimum consideration.
What was the response to those who asked to be removed?
Generally sarcasm and overreaction.
I understand that the admins are frustrated. I understand that there was some genuine effort to back off the rhetoric and open up the Puppies to more varied selection. And, some of the anti-Puppy folks can compete with Vox Day for vitriolic anger. But, you don't become the Puppy ringleader without knowing that people don't like what you're doing or who you're affiliated with.
So, let's not pretend that people requesting to be removed from the list are the "special snowflakes" and "delusional" types that Sarah Hoyt has called them on her blog. Hoyt is one of the Sad Puppy 4 coordinators\admins. She's compared anti-Puppy folks to the Third Reich.
The objectors have been noted with asterisk (leading to some laughter about revenge for the asterisk awards at the previous ceremony)
Frankly, she would have been MUCH better served by putting an editors note that there's a list of people who have been removed, posting the raw data from the forums, and then highlighting those who have been removed on the raw data file.
Let's have a quick caveat
I do think she has made a good, significantly more insightful point that people are giving her credit for. It's hard to get past the anger and resentment in her post-reaction blog to see it, but she makes it clear: who's really keeping women and minorities out of SFF? Publishers.
It's true. If everyone who spent the energy to tweet Sarah, Vox, or the other vehement sector of the Puppies on Twitter had spent the time to tweet Harper Collins, St. Martin's Press, or Simon and Schuster about the lack of diversity in SFF, we may eventually see a more substantive change in the genre.
By and large, the puppy ship is sinking. Maybe it's time to focus on the people who control the genre more directly.
Post-Script Note: I'm not discussing the Rabid Puppy slate today. Mostly because it lacks a sense of taste and appropriateness.
Additional Note: The original post pointed to Nnedi Okorafor for having tweeted about the list. I was in error. My sincerest apologies.
5 Kickstarter Projects for Book Lovers
So, I have a bit of a love affair with kickstarter. The platform is fantastic for independent projects and unique works that may otherwise not get produced. BUT, it can be a slog to sort through what's out there to try and get what you like. So, here's the deal: I like books; you like books; I saw these and thought of you (and also how cool it would be if they were funded).
Victoria Jr. Presents Little Prometheus by Manny Trembley
Days left: 9 days
Amount Funded: 404% (into stretch goal territory!)
What's this project about?
Victoria is a human girl adopted in to a loving family of monsters. Victoria Jr. was named by The Monster, after his creator, Victor Frankenstein. She lives in a world of fantastic monsters and creatures.
One day on her way to school, Victoria Jr. decides to capture the mythic "Spark of the Sun". This is the same spark that the Greek Titan Prometheus stole to give fire to man. She thought maybe the Spark of the Sun could warm the undead hearts of her father, mother, and her younger brother.
Why is it cool?
Are you really asking me why a story about a little human girl living with monsters and trying to warm their hearts is adorable? Or why you should be all about a family-friendly comic?
Aside from the fact that the story sounds awesome, Victoria Jr. pays homage to the kind of stories that are fundamental to science fiction and fantasy. It's sure to check boxes for SFF lovers and be a book to introduce children into the SFF world in a relatable, unintimidating way.
As a literacy tutor for ESL students, my favorite thing to give the kids I worked with was comics. They're dynamic and visual, perfect for short attention spans. AND the embedded text makes the story feel like it isn't work while still encouraging confidence in reading and significant vocabulary growth.
Who is behind it?
Manny Trembley is an indie comics artist with his own self-publishing line of comics. He's run 6 successful kickstarter campaigns. This will be his second Victoria Jr. book.
What do I get at the lowest award level?
$6 gets you a .pdf of the comic
Bring Dinosaurs Back to Life by Zoobooks
Days left: 16
Amount funded: 66%
What is this project about?
Zoobooks are educational kids' books about animals and ecology. Unfortunately, the last round of dinosaur books is pretty old. This project is going to update the books with new science and create a set of integrated apps.
Why is it cool?
Dinosaurs. Science. Zoobooks, what's not to like? Zoobooks were a pretty big part of kiddom in the 90s and 00s. They've helped tons of kids learn about science using visuals and intriguing animal subject. They're committed to keeping their books scientifically accurate, and are fairly accessible through most library systems.
Plus, dinosaur feathers drawings.
Who's behind it?
Zoobooks, a 35 year old company with tons of books to their name and support from Wildlife Education, LTD.
What do I get at the lowest rewards level?
$10 gets you the app and a series of exclusive updates.
People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction by Lightspeed Magazine
Days left: 16
Amount funded: 550%
What is this project about?
We believe in science fiction's transformative powers, its ability to remedy the dreariness of our lives. People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction! will exist, with your kind help, of course, to relieve a brokenness we've enabled time and time again by favoring certain voices and portrayals of particular characters. We won't harangue you with guilt trips involving the importance of openly listening to the assimilated, the colonized, the misappropriated. That's just not how we roll. What we aim to do, instead, is to challenge you: Join us because it is fun to do so. We don't mean fun as a vehicle for trivializing centuries of injustice that resulted in the lack of representation for certain groups of people because power structures were skewed heavily in favor of a chosen few. We mean fun as the satisfaction we get in those light-bulb-in-the-head moments of our lives, the satisfaction we get from meaningful conversations that lend clarity, the satisfaction we get when we move past those feel-good-driven acts of tokenism, the satisfaction we get when we read stories that have palpable artistic and intellectual values that speak of our present time and most of all, our future.
Why is it cool?
The POC Destroy project is about raising the voices of marginalized groups in SFF. It includes a series of fiction and nonfiction writings written and edited by people of color. It includes art, flash fiction, novellas, and author spotlights.
The POC Destroy issue is set with a fantastic cast both of authors and editors including Nalo Hopkinson and Nisi Shawl. It's also open to new voices in SFF. Basically, you need it.
Every extra dollar goes towards stretch goals that increase content.
PLUS it's a project Lightspeed is committed to. They promised to publish the edition regardless of if they reached their funding goal. That's pretty damn cool in my book.
Who's behind it?
Lightspeed Magazine is a Hugo Award winning publication with a ton of experience and a whole series behind it. This project is in line with the DESTROY series which includes Queers Destroy Science Fiction, Women Destroy Science Fiction, and many others.
What do I get at the lowest rewards level?
$5 gets you an ebook version plus all electronic supplementals achieved in stretch goals
Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin by Arwyn Curry
Days left: 30
Amount funded: 111%
What is this project about?
In the film, we'll accompany Le Guin on an intimate journey of self-discovery as she comes into her own as a major feminist author, inspiring generations of women and other marginalized writers along the way. To tell this story, the film reaches into the past as well as the future – to a childhood steeped in the myths and stories of disappeared Native peoples Le Guin absorbed as the daughter of prominent California anthropologist Alfred Kroeber and author Theodora Kroeber.
Ursula K Le Guin is a queen of science fiction. She changed the game radically. This project is largely already filmed, but needs a post-production budget. Part of the funding is contingent on non-NEH funding, so here we are.
Why is it cool?
It's Ursula.
As a total bonus note, all the levels are named after characters from her stories.
Who's behind it?
Arwyn Curry and her team have made a number of documentaries and written a number of articles for organizations like PBS, HBO, the New York Times, and Rolling Stone.
What do I get at the lowest rewards level?
$10 gets you shout outs and updates
Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party by Shipwrecked Comedy
Days left: 32
Amount funded: 29%
What is this project about?
Edgar Allan Poe invites all his buddies and loves to dinner. It includes Hemmingway, H.G. Wells, Annabelle Lee. It's a video series that will be hosted vlog style with some livestreaming options, over a series of ten videos.
Why is it cool?
This form of storytelling has really been catching on. The format lends itself to interactive audience participation, visible and marked character growth, and innovation in film and story adaptation.
Cast includes Mary Kate Wiles who you may recognize from the Lizzie Bennett Diaries where she played Lydia.
Who's behind it?
Shipwrecked Comedy has run a number of past projects that have been done in a similar vein.
What do I get at the lowest rewards level?
$5 reward is a digital invitation and livestream shoutout

This last week was 100% summer — which, to me, means life in the highest gear of the year. It was finally hot (even in the 90s!), and we farmed and played and all-around savored the season and its gifts. Some highlights:
I took the kids to the Yamhill County fair, where we checked on their horticultural entries. Participating in the fair is an annual tradition in our house and feels like it marks the high point of the season. They think ahead to their fair entries as early as February when they make their seed lists! They did well this year, earning three best-of-show awards and two sweepstakes between the two of them! Since we homeschool, I love that the fair gives them an opportunity to feel their hard work affirmed by someone other than a parent (they also have some great teachers in other areas of their life too).
We planted almost all of our fall and winter crops! Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and more. Just a few flats of starts remain up by the house, which we will plant this week in one of our high tunnels. Since we plant almost all season-long, reaching the finish line always feels like a very significant seasonal milestone. After the last few flats, we will have a break from transplanting until after the New Year.
We processed firewood for the winter! A very large, heavy limb fell from an oak tree at the weekly farm school program the kids attend, blocking the driveway to the classroom. We spent a hot part of Saturday chainsawing rounds and hauling branches — exchanging our clean-up labor for high quality firewood.
We attended two wonderful outdoor arts events: As You Like It at Stoller Vineyard (we love summer Shakespeare!) and a house concert by friend and harpist/poet Bethany Lee. As the hot days mellowed into warm evenings, we marveled in the magic of sharing music, laughter, and awe outside with others.
The kids and I hiked at Baskett Slough, where we were astonished at how very dry the landscape appeared. Our "sense" of the season is that we've had more rainfall than normal (which is true), and yet still here in the Willamette Valley summer drought prevails. Aside from the Queen Anne's Lace flowers, most of the field plants and flowers were long past blooming and had set seeds, matured them, and were completely dry and brown. As we leaned our ears off the trail in one location, we could hear seeds popping out of dry pods (perhaps from vetch? It's hard to identify all the plants at this stage). We also watched a very lethargic-looking bumblebee feed on a Queen Anne's Lace and were able to see its tongue reach out for nectar from the flower. I had never seen a bumblebee's tongue before!
And, we spent another wonderful day playing with friends at the river. The kids each have their own little kayaks this year, and they have both become so competent at paddling around the river, making smart use of eddies to go upstream and then riding the currents back down. They discovered a patch of soft sand on the far bank from our swimming spot and have spent the last three weeks building sand castles there, within adult eyesight but with a new level of independence from us too. It's quite the jump in their freedom to be across the river from me, playing with their friends. We've spent every summer of their childhoods learning and practicing water safety, which helps make this possible for them (plus, life jackets!).
Last evening, we hosted a small group of folks for a farm tour, organized by OSU Extension (part of their summer "Crop Talks" series). We were delighted to meet farm-y types from around the region and share our story with them. We always provide lots of caveats when we show people around, making it clear that our farming journey has been just that: a journey, and one that we are still very much on. Things that worked for us in our second year on the farm might not be relevant anymore. And, likewise, what works for us might not work the same on another farm. But, nonetheless, there is so much value in connecting with other people who fundamentally love the land and this work. We shared a potluck afterward and enjoyed learning more about the kinds of projects other people are working on and what they dream of doing on their land in the future.
That's a full week!!!! And just one week out of a wonderfully full summer. I love this time of year. I know I couldn't sustain this level of activity year-round, but I don't have to. The shifting of the seasons will bring a natural easing into new rhythms not too long from now. But I am going to savor every special summer activity while they last.
May you too be filled with the vibrant, golden joy of summer this week! And enjoy this week's abundant summer vegetables!
Your farmers, Katie & Casey Kulla
~ ~ ~
Meet this week's vegetables:
- Akane apples — This is a special treat! We first ate Akane apples in Bellingham, and we fell in love with this distinctive early apple (which is ready closer to the equinox in that more northern locale — right around when we would be back in town for fall quarter to start at school). When we put in our first orchard, we knew we wanted some of this special variety in the mix, but we've had years of disappointment. They just don't do as well here as they do in Northwestern Washington. They mature too quickly and don't develop the same sugars or flavors that they have in cooler climates. The trees themselves have struggled too. BUT! This year has been wetter and relatively cooler overall, and the result is that some apples are different this year, the Akanes included. They are, in fact, delicious! Enjoy!
- Salad mix
- Peppers
- Tomatoes
- Eggplant
- Basil
- Kale
- Golden chard
- Cucumbers
- Zucchini
- Potatoes
- Shallots

Cybersecurity Excellence Award for SDN/NFV Security for Telco Systems
Telco Systems has won the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Award in the category for SDN and NFV Security. The company won this award for its NFV CyberGuard solution, which is designed to protect telecommunications networks using SDN and NFV technologies and infrastructures.
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognizes the world's best cybersecurity products, individuals and organizations. It is an independent awards program produced in cooperation with the Information Security Community on LinkedIn, tapping into the experience of over 300,000+ cybersecurity professionals.
"Most Tier 1 and Tier 2 telcos in competitive markets have formulated their SDN and NFV strategies and many have already deployed NFV on their core network. However, the feedback that we are consistently getting is that the concerns over the cybersecurity vulnerabilities are occupying the attention of many telcos in advanced stages of their SDN & NFV plans and PoC testing," explained Ariel Efrati, CEO of Telco Systems. "This award validates our efforts to help our telco customers protect their investments in SDN and NFV and securely benefit from these two technologies."

The home of a popular activist of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region,
Confirming the incident to Accra FM, Appiah Stadium said that he suspects that Invincible Forces, a private security arm of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), are behind the attack.
"I will never stop supporting John Mahama, I won't stop. NPP will have to kill me. I have realised that I am a pillar and an impediment in the way of the NPP. They first arrested me, they later stormed my house with guns and now they have burnt my house and car."

He believed that "The NPP's Invincible Forces did that."
Meanwhile, members of the Invincible Forces have denied setting the house ablaze."I will plead with our youth to respect each other. No member of Invincible Forces did that. For what reason?" Kwabena Boakye, spokesperson for the Invincible Forces, told host Forson.
"His accusation is baseless. If he thinks he has been attacked, he knows what to do, he should go to the Police and stop throwing these allegations at innocent people", he said.

text: This Tenant Improvement project required a great deal of pre-task planning and coordination as it was conducted in a fully-operational medical campus with patients both above and below the 4th floor buildout. A disruption in service would be critical to the patients and the owner and would have been unacceptable to our high quality standards. Pan-Pacific upgraded the 4th floor with an additional 24 beds making the hospital more efficient in patient care. With Pan-Pacific's knowledge and ultimate care, we were able to perform the required tasks without a hitch.
