There are two types of run out there in Saltyland. Mostly we run just to run; to get the workout done with no distractions. Sometimes though, running can be a super-practical way to multitask. That's the second type of run: the practical variety. Got an easy jog on the schedule? Combine it with errands for superwoman-style efficiency! Need to transport something from point A to point B? Just run with it and save on gas money or public transportation. Boom! Miles in the bank! Read more >>

Until recently, all I knew about float tanks was limited to the Simpson's episode where Homer and Lisa are angry with one another and go to float tanks, and they get repossessed with Homer still in one. I never thought I would use one because, well, claustrophobia. But, a co-worker's husband went to a new float tank place in town this week and posted a picture — these float tanks aren't enclosed!
Floating is basically automatic in the tub — it uses 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts. The super-saturated solution, like the Dead Sea, makes you buoyant. Plus, the magnesium is believed to help relieve muscle soreness and replenish electrolytes — the reason many of us soak in them at home.
In addition to the benefits of Epsom salts, floating also adds a relaxing element because of the sensory deprivation even though that sounds super creepy. Similarly to meditation, you're removing all distractions from around you. I am terrible at turning my mind off, and I didn't quite get there with my first experience. But it was relaxing and felt healing — and I even booked a second appointment.
I scheduled my first visit online, and when I arrived at the facility I found it similar to a nice day spa, massage studio or yoga studio. There was a large, well-appointed lobby, a quiet room for post-float, a restroom, and private float rooms.
Each room is the size of a large bedroom and fashionably decorated, with a shelf area and bench, a shower, and the float tank (really a tub in this instance).
It did take me a while to "surrender" to the experience, and I was holding my head in a position that wasn't comfortable, but eventually I relaxed my neck and it was great. Figuring out if I wanted my arms internally or externally rotated was the only other thing I had to figure out.
The room was slightly warm, matching the temperature of the water. Eventually the lights turned off and I did turn off the blue tub light. I am pretty uncomfortable in my own skin and expected to feel odd floating naked in a tub in a room, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all. The tub is large enough that you don't feel at all constrained in space.
At the end of the session music starts gently playing and the water starts circulating so that you know your time is up. After you get out of the tub, you take a shower in the room. They had great shampoo (I love unexpectedly great shampoo). I spent a moment in the quiet room to drink some water and I left feeling relaxed and comfortable. I signed up for a trial week so I have several more appointments scheduled. I anticipate I'll return to the float tank after some hard workouts, much like massage.
I live in the Midwest where most things are reasonably priced. The first time fee was $45 for an hour. The regular retail price is $56. Monthly memberships with unlimited floats are $99.
Looking for other posts in our "#ExtraSalt" series?
Have you tried a float tank? Are you an Epsom salt bath fan?
There's nothing like running somewhere peaceful, somewhere we can get lost in thought and find a little solace in our otherwise busy days. We often like to run in places of natural beauty or places off the beaten path, places where we don't have to worry about dodging cars or other pedestrians. But often these are the same places people choose to do some freakin' weird stuff.
This weekend, Coriander stumbled upon some teens smoking pot, which, for activities runners stumble upon, is relatively mild. Naturally, we started regaling each other with tales of things we've accidentally witnessed on the run. And naturally, we thought it would be fun to ask you.
Tell us!
What's the weirdest thing you've stumbled upon on the run? How do you handle the surprise?

Built in the 1930s as a hydroelectricity station, this remarkable hotel conversion is split between the waterside Shorehouse and the Pumphouse, set 900ft out in the lake. It's tucked into a quiet bay on Lake St Clair at the southern end of the World Heritage Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.
Apart from a pub three miles down the road, there's nothing to distract you here. Nestled into a quiet bay on dark, deep Lake St Clair, at the far southern end of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, some two and a half hours from Hobart, this is pristine wilderness worthy of its World Heritage listing.
It's the last stop on the gruelling, multi-night Overland Track – one of Australia's most prolific hiking routes – but there are gentler walks to be done with the lodge as your base.
Forget log cabin cosiness. The lichen-clad weathered exteriors of two heritage-listed industrial buildings built in the 1930s for Tasmania's behemoth Hydro Electric Scheme, hide 19 rooms, along with plentiful, cosy communal areas.
Beyond the distressed exteriors and iron doors of the Pumphouse, the contemporary interiors tilt at the highlands landscape with natural stained timber veneers and the palette of soft greys used in its richly textured sofas, rugs and throws, as well as honouring the site's utilitarian heritage via exposed copper piping, simple powder coated pendant lighting and few adornments – a kind of Post-industrial Tasmanian Gothic, if you will. It's utterly unique.
Rooms in The Pumphouse are set across three floors, each individual but all with a similar feeling of being very pleasantly adrift 900ft out in the lake. All rooms have kitchenettes with twin drinks and 'larder' mini-fridges for DIY lunching, along with microwaves and simple kitchen equipment. Black-tiled bathrooms use brass fittings and industrial taps but up the comfort factor with organic Australian toiletries from Sukin and heated floors. There are also several communal lounges, all featuring large, lake-facing windows.
The Shorehouse's rooms are often overlooked, but they're larger than those in The Pumphouse and charming in their own fashion, with original Art Deco details. The ultra-private, and all inclusive, new one-bed retreat also looks out to the lake from the shore and features indoor and outdoor baths and hand crafted furniture.

Dad lives 8,044 miles away in the Outback of Australia. I haven't seen him in two years. So I'm doing everything I can to get back home, even if it means getting into trouble. That's why I'm sitting outside Mr. Bronson's office with his beady eyes glaring down at me.
Her wrinkled eyes and bristly baboon hair would make an awesome caricature. My fingers itch for a pencil and my sketchpad.

As an online retailer, without a strong Instagram presence, your company can easily be forgotten or ignored, especially with the younger generation of consumers. Taking Instagram seriously as a major platform where you can establish your brand can open up opportunities for your business.
Here's everything you need to know about how you can maximize Instagram to market your business and to engage with your followers.
Get started with the app
Instagram is primarily a mobile app - but it can be viewed on a desktop, so to be able to sign up for an account you have to download the app first. To receive access to analytics and insights it's best to convert your brand's Instagram to a "business account", and to do this you can simply link the account to your business's Facebook page.
To make it easy for users to discover you, your username should be the same as the one you use on your other branded social media profiles. And in this case, your 'real name' should be the company name. The only other information you can place on your public profile is your bio and a URL, which you can change – this works well for promoting campaigns or new pieces of content.
Creating content on Instagram
Instagram makes it easy for users to share photos and videos, as well temporary Instagram Stories - posts that disappear after 24 hours, to their Instagram feed. In addition to this, you can capture and stream live videos that disappear once the video has ended. This feature is great for giving your customers a live "behind the scenes" look at interesting aspects of your business; you can even use live videos to answer questions from the comments. When you're posting photos and videos just keep in mind that your objective is to build a consistent, recognizable brand identity.
How to strategically interact with users
You can connect with other users on Instagram and give your business exposure in several ways. Try some of these simple strategies:
How to show off your products or services
An integral part of connecting with your customers and building your brand on Instagram is showcasing your products or service. Consider every post you share as more than just a mere visual, but an opportunity to portray your brand.
Because Instagram is a social network centered on visuals, try and tie back every image you post back to your business. You can take pictures of great new products and say something about the product, or post pictures of your most popular products. If your business is more service based, like running a hair salon, you could take photos of your work and share them with a short caption. Remember to make use of hashtags with keywords around your business, because many users use hashtags to search for things of interest.
Use your Instagram to share exclusive deals
You can use your Instagram profile to share exclusive deals or content such as photos of your latest products or work you haven't shared on any other social platform. If you're releasing a new product, you can do it live on Instagram.
A great way you can make your followers feel special is by offering them discounts for following you. Try sharing an image that explains how to use the discount – you can create a coupon code users can use to shop at your store online. This is not only a way of giving back to your Instagram followers, but you're likely to attract more followers through these Instagram exclusive deals.
Ask customers to share their photos
Visuals influence buyer behaviour, but not just any visuals, because today customers are not very interested in photoshoped photos taken in studio with paid models, but they want to see real people using your products. That's where you can really engage your Instagram audience.
You can encourage customers to mention you when they show off photos of your product or service by inserting your Instagram handle on your products or promotional materials. This will make it easy for other users to find you.
Share what goes on behind the scenes
Taking pictures or videos that show what goes into producing your products before they reach the customer's door is always great content for your Instagram account, especially if the process is interesting, or something your customers usually want to, or didn't know.
Posting behind-the-scenes content is a great idea because it humanizes your brand, and reveals the faces behind the business. It gives your customers the opportunity to feel a personal connection to your brand and what your business stands for.
The above are just some of the most effective strategies businesses use to get their brands out there, you can still experiment. Instagram is a fantastic social media platform you can use to engage with your customers and get new followers, just make sure your posts relate to how you want to position your brand.

a rewind | sunrise and chakra flowers for meditation
"Sometimes our thoughts and feelings take us places we can no longer go … However, in the waking sunrise of a new day, we can, in our meditation, understand our thoughts anew and find places full of insight, rejuvenation, and tranquility". ~ Walter Smith
In keeping with the pursuit of tranquility and the essence of Zen that I focused on in my recent video entitled "Experiment: Zen Meditation | Landscapes for Well Being", here is a rewind of a collage with the same theme from 2009. My next post: "variations | sunrise and chakra flowers for meditation". As in all my pieces in the variation series, I am using this image as a starting point to reach a new compositional insight.
4 responses
This is really interesting, You are a very skilled blogger.
I've joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your great post. Also, I've shared
your site in my social networks!

Businesses today are required to focus as much on protecting themselves from cybercriminal activity as they are in providing products and services to their clients. That's because cybercrime is an industry in and of itself with earnings equal to Russia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), around $1.5 trillion per year.
No longer can organizations have a singular focus. Attempting to stay at least a half step ahead of the cybercriminals is a fulltime endeavor.
According to a recent article on darkreading.com, "Cybercrime is now a profitable underground economy. The fabled "darknet" provides the platform for transactions, the place where demand meets supply. The evolving cybercrime-as-a-service model offers everything from distributed denial-of-service attacks and malware to shiploads of stolen data sets on demand. Today, engaging in cybercrime is as simple as legitimate e-commerce." https://www.darkreading.com/cloud/cybercrime-is-skyrocketing-as-the-world-goes-digital/a/d-id/1331905
The cybercrime world is so organized that it is becoming more and more difficult to determine legitimate from illegitimate business platforms. In fact, Marc Wilczek, the author of the darkreading.com article says it best when he writes, "The global crime economy has become a self-perpetuating organism — an interlinked web of profit where the boundary between the legitimate and illegitimate is often unclear." https://www.darkreading.com/cloud/cybercrime-is-skyrocketing-as-the-world-goes-digital/a/d-id/1331905
Unfortunately, the lightning speed rate of increasing dependency on the availability and performance of IT infrastructure among legitimate enterprises is making matters worse. All it takes is one clueless or one ill-intentioned employee and a couple of wrong clicks to take a company offline or flood it with malware.
The stakes have never been higher which means the need for cybersecurity has never been greater. Your cybersecurity team will have to be able to provide fresh, intelligent and nimble approaches to address the ever more sophisticated attacks. Whether you are just establishing cybersecurity or need a fresh approach, call our offices to set up a consultation.

Bring your lawn chairs and picnic blankets for a fun afternoon on the beautiful grounds of the historic Liriodendron Mansion as you enjoy the lively sounds of Arty Hill and the Long Gone Daddys on Sunday, June 14.
From Baltimore, MD to Central Texas, Arty Hill packs the bars and dance floors with his unique brand of modern Honky Tonk. Arty's style is reminiscent of Johnny Cash, and his songs marry the soul of classic country with the wry storytelling of Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt.
Family-friendly! Grounds are open all day. Concert begins at 4:30.
Rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be held indoors.
Tickets $12. Ages 12 and under admitted free.
Tickets available online, by phone, or at the gate.
Online ticketing link available soon. For tickets, call 410-879-4424.
Music at the Mansion is made possible in part by a grant from Maryland State Arts Council through Harford County Cultural Arts Board, by a grant from Harford County, and by support from Music Land.

Welcome to our brand new blog.
A place to share all things Proeducation – from the schools we visit to the new materials we are working on. Anything that gets us thinking that we can pass onto you!
So what have we been up to over the past few months? Working hard on our new website, for a start and spreading the word as we have been building our reputation since 1996. Just started tweeting! All very exciting.
We hope you'll follow us on our journey from here on out.
'Creativity' is such an abstract word. Immediately we think of the visual and painting and yet both an experiment, hypothesis even just the humble 'idea' is creative; perhaps the most creative as it is something from nothing, using the tools we possess. And, as educators, we are here to equip our children with those tools….knowledge being one.
Teachers getting creative with forces on an Inset day at St James and St Michael's in Westminster last week.
It has been well documented, that every time we have a 'Eureka' moment, we release dopamine. A natural high for the brain which becomes addictive and is why teaching and learning are such a pleasure. We will write more about this at a later date.
On a more practical scientific note, having just renewed membership, the Royal Institute offers many open lectures and workshops to schools at all levels. Some fascinating stuff we would recommend.

Hubby and I are still in relaxation mode today. We had a leisurely breakfast, did a wash, and took a drive to the beach to visit his parents. His mother had a cold, but we visited long enough to show them a slide show on the laptop from our summer adventures.
I made a healthier than usual version of macaroni and cheese for supper. I used low fat milk and less cheese in the sauce to which I added green and red peppers and mashed sweet potato. The sweet potato idea came from a magazine recipe where they added mashed squash. We had a side of yellow beans from the garden. It was delicious!
Here is a photo of my little rough sketch that I did in the middle of our 25 km bike run up and down the roller coaster hills around Nictau Lake. I'm hoping that will excuse it's simplicity. Please don't look too closely!

Psychedelic or 'magic' mushrooms have
been ingested by humans for over 9000 years. Even today, this naturally grown fungus is
commonly used as a recreational drug, causing hallucinations, but how exactly does it work? The main psychoactive ingredient in shrooms
is call psilocybin. When ingested, the body breaks it down into the active drug psilocin,
which makes its way to the brain. And here, it begins to prevent the reuptake of the neurotransmitter
serotonin, increasing its activity. On top of this, psilocin actually has a similar chemical
structure to serotonin, meaning it can also bind to and stimulate receptors in the brain.
This amplified stimulation causes you to perceive and experience things without any real stimulus
– also know as hallucination. These can be of a varying nature, from visual to auditory
sensations, or mystical and insightful feelings. And while the experience can be quite enjoyable,
some users have reported very unpleasant episodes. These feelings generally last between 3-8
hours, but could feel much longer as the drug alters your sense of time. Scientists have also suggested that the brain
may temporarily rearrange itself by inhibiting normal brain activity and immediately creating
new biologically stable brain connections. This, ultimately, makes it harder to determine
reality from fantasy, and amplifies your intensity of thought which makes planning ahead and
self conscious thinking almost impossible. We also see activation in the hippocampus
and anterior cingulate cortex which are associated with dreaming. *Finally, specific emotional
regions of the brain are chemically activated, which can lead to a sense of expanding consciousness.
And because the drug temporarily alters the paths in your brain, 'thinking outside of
the box' becomes extremely natural. In a famous US study, 36 college educated
participants were given psilocybin and observed in a laboratory. 1/3rd of the participants
reported the experience as the single most spiritually significant moment in their lives,
with ⅔rds putting it in their top five. Two months after taking the drug, 79% of the
participants reported increased well-being and satisfaction. Friends and family were
also interviewed and agreed with these claims. But it's not all so positive – 22% of the
clinically tested individuals experienced fear and paranoia at certain points during
their trip. And because of the state of their brains, these typically manifested as terrifying
and uncontrollable hallucinations. *L Though much is still unknown about shrooms,
they're not considered clinically addictive and cause little toxicity to other organ systems.
In fact, a UK study found that they cause the least amount of damage – both to the individual
and others – when compared to other recreational drugs. Ultimately, scientists believe the
laws need to change around clinical testing of the drug so advanced research can be executed
to fully understand both the positive and negative effects that this "magic" fungus
has on our brains. Got a burning question? And if you haven't seen our video on the

"…But in my conscience, because that's how I have to vote — end of the day, is with my conscience…" – Alleged GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski
And that pretty much defines the problem with Congress today. Folks were intended to be chosen based on their relationship to, and ability to represent, their constituency. Never were they intended to be the arbiters of conscience for the country.
You see, Ms. Murkowski: you weren't elected to vote your conscience; you were elected to vote in the best interests of those you represent in your state of Alaska: men as well as women. All races. All creeds. Your conscience is to be subjugated to the will of your constituency; not the converse.
Part of the (albeit: altruistic) genius of what the founding fathers put in place was the appointment of senators by state legislatures. The state legislators, being elected of the people by the people and, therefor, expected to be reflective of the will of the people of the people, would appoint those to serve in the US Senate. There was no money-ridden popularity contest – that was reserved for the House; the House being intended to represent the will of more finite divisions within the state. Unfortunately, human nature (greed) intervened, and positions on the senate were often sold or otherwise obtained via means unbecoming of the process intent.
In 1912, the same year that gave us the Father of the Bureaucratic State and Grand Champion of Progressivism, Woodrow Wilson, the House, with an eye on those abuses in selecting senators (those abuses resembling modern lobbying…) decided that having senators appointed by the state legislature was a bad idea, and the 17th Amendment to the Constitution was born, requiring senators to be elected by populist vote rather than by the state legislatures..
But nowhere in that amendment did it change a senator's role from being representative of the people who elected them to being representative of their personal conscience and personal view of life and law.
Too many in Congress – in both the House and the Senate – believe their role is to "vote their conscience". And, unfortunately, for most: their conscience if formed by the ideology and objectives of their party; not by the best interests of their state or the country as a whole. Far, far too many vote their reelection chances rather than conscience, too – however, this is actually closer to voting the will of the people than is kowtowing to media opinion, and party ideology or other factions.
And it's a damned shame. Though I never lived within them, I long for the days when those we elected did not become our "rulers", but remained one of us, looking out for the good of the country as opposed to their personal gain and the good of their party. Much of the crap we see every day emanating from our capitol would not have occurred if those sitting in the seats were actually motivated by patriotism rather than by greed.

So romancing the ocean, or is it oceans of romance? At any rate, once we've cordoned off and sold the coastline, it seems that all we're left with romantic sunsets, looking toward the horizon that we'll never reach. Poetic. Deliciously melancholy, even. And I do like looking off into the sunset. It's just that the reduction of the coastline to commodified views distresses me. I keep wondering, what about the other senses? In Shenzhen it is incredibly difficult to smell fishing nets, feel of water rippling over our toes, listen to seabirds diving for crabs, and taste a gritty ocean breeze because we have been reduced to a pair of eyes in bodies that do not move beyond high rise window sills.

SZ8X80108//The_Myriad_Transformations//Cut and Pastiche: Another City
"Cut and Pastiche" has played with the logic of montage in order to tease out the experiences and logics that comprised the Special Zone. Montage helps us understand the process because "Shenzhen" comprises diverse elements–factories and work units, migrants and locals, tradition and IT, brackish water and containers–which were already in the world, but needed to be reorganized in order for China to achieve its goal to modernize. Quickly.
line 11 mini encyclopedia: the nantou peninsula
Once upon a time, Nantou was the Ya'men for Xin'an County, and before that for the imperial salt monopoly. It's currently where Shen Kong integration is being seriously re-worked.
houhai / xuefu rd
Today, I went to the Software Incubator Area and what to my wondering eyes did appear, but a landmark tried and true and watched for the past decade. It's true and unexpected, but for years I have been documenting the land reclamation area east of Guimiao and north of Binhai (first impressions, here), and today on an errand to meet someone about the upcoming Maker Faire, I realized the road I was on–Xuefu Road–was in fact the road I had walked while documenting the emergence of New High Technology Park. Anyway, some before and after pictures:
population number games
There are three resident statuses in Shenzhen: Shenzhen hukou, long term residence permit (常住证), and illegal residents or the floating population (流动人口). In turn, these different statuses are reflected in two kinds of population statistics: the long term population (常住人口) and the administrative population (管理人口). The long term population is divided into those residents with hukou and those with permits. The administrative population refers to the number of renters who have been registered at a local police station. In practice, the difference between the long term and administrative populations provides insight into how large the floating population is.
Here's the rub: Cities and districts usually only release population statistics, even though the actual population is on record via individual precincts, which report their statistics to the District. In turn, reporting practices vary widely between districts, making it difficult to ascertain how many people actually live and work in a district, let alone in an urban village. Continue reading
The Value of Urban Villages
US American real estate developers chant, "location, location, location." In Shenzhen, primary locations open for development are actually urban villages slated for old village renovation — redevelopments that involve the final transfer of village held property to the Municipality.
In a Jingbao article on the future of Nanshan District, Li Xiaogan, recently appointed Nanshan District Secretary, noted for example, "In constructing a global district and promoting urban renovation, Nanshan District will have several advantages over the next few years. First, the largest urban renovation project in Guangdong Province – Dachong Urban Village, with a total project area of 683,000 square meters; second, the urban renovation project for the five villages of Baishizhou in Shahe, which is currently being planned, also has an area of over 650,000 square meters, and is again one of the largest in the Province; third, located in the north of the District, the three Shuiyuan villages are within the water conservation and ecological conservation red lines, and are thus relatively backward, however, they are also now in the planning stage of development; forth, the old Xili Market, which we are planning to convert to an urban complex; fifth, the banks of the Shahe River, where we will take international bids to create an ecological cultural corridor, and; six, Nanshan Old City, which with everyone's support we hope to return to its status as Shenzhen's historical and cultural root, by resituating all residents and completely rebuilding."
Recent impressions of Baishizhou, below:
return of the bivalves
Yesterday, I walked around Dongjiaotou, which in days earlier served as a small port for building materials coming in from Foshan and other Delta cities. Pedestrians jumped the fence to get to the small strip of beach where several families were selling oysters. In 2007, Nanshan District removed all oyster cultivation and processing from the Houhai coastline, especially around the Seaworld area (pictures from 2003 and 2007, here).

By request, I will delve more into my workbox and binder resource organizational systems. Both of which I feel are two key components to our organized school day.
So what actually goes into those goofy looking drawers? What is all the hype about? Can I use workboxes but not fill them every night?
1. The inside of our boxes: These pictures illustrate two things; one the no frills simple approach in which I load our boxes and two, the system I use to fill most of the boxes only ONCE A WEEK.
This is my 3rd grader's math drawer. His Singapore 2B textbook and workbook are in this drawer. Also inside is a spiral notebook of graph paper. While he doesn't use this everyday, I keep it in there so it doesn't get misplaced and he knows to only use it when needed; otherwise it isn't a distraction for him.
This is my 3rd grader's phonics/vocabulary drawer. He is flying through both subjects so I have decided to alternate weeks with these 2 subjects. As you can see there is ample space in these drawers for workbooks, textbooks, and any accessories an assignment might require.
Don't waste your time buying shallow drawer cart systems to use as workboxes, they will cause you more hassle then they are worth and are a waste of money in the long run. Tall craft carts might be aesthetically appealing but they don't function well if you want your workbox drawers to hold all the supplies needed for an assignment. Honestly, in the end isn't that the whole purpose of workboxes? To keep everything together so assignments get done more efficiently.
Also shown in the 2 photos above are my quick and easy way of loading boxes once per week. Keep in mind, I don't use this system on ALL of my boxes, just most of them. Some subjects do not lend themselves easily to this system of box preparation. Having said that, this is an inexpensive and quick way to load your boxes once a week. I do mine on Sunday night after all my angels are tucked in bed and I can concentrate.
The post-it note system works like this for subjects that require the same workbook/supplies each day:
1. Prepare your weekly lessons as normal.
2. Write out a post-it sticky note with the weekly assignment.
For example, Monday: pg. 12
Tuesday; pg. 13-14
Wednesday; pg. 15
Thursday; pg. 16-17
Friday; pg. 18
3. My son either keeps the sticky adhered to his assignment or will transfer it to the bottom of the drawer so it doesn't get lost.
I have also used the sticky note system for my Kinder, he is able to follow it without incident.
Not only does this method cut down on daily workbox prep time but it also helps if I ever need to look back on an assignment that changed for some reason during the week but I didn't note it in my lesson planner.
Here are a few more pictures of the inside of our boxes:
Daily reading book with a fun book reporter book mark I found at the 99cent store.
My binder topics include Science, My Father's World, Bible, Story of the World, Writing, Spanish, and Holidays
I started this system of organizing my homeschool papers because of all the ebooks and other pdf documents I was downloading from all the wonderful curriculum sites available. Not only was my computer screen becoming littered with a ton of icon files but I couldn't find a document when I needed it. So I printed the ones I knew I would need soon, moved them to a "printed pdf folder" on my computer, then put them in binders by subject and further divided in the binders with labeled tabs. The remaining ebooks I do not plan on printing soon I moved to a "unprinted pdf" folder on my computer. Now I can find what I need when I need it without frustration or wasted time searching.
For my friends using My Fathers World Kindergarten
My file system for the weekly letters; filed in lesson number order
with lesson # and related letter science topic
I pray that this post helped to clear up some questions. As always, I love your feedback and any questions or suggestions you might have.

Travel Safety 3, robbery via drugs or bag snatching
Barcelona: Police interviewing a victim of pickpockets on La Rambla, Spain, Travel Safety 3.
Travel Safety 3: true crime
Don't get drugged (by someone you don't really know!)
Henry, a British Council teacher in Venezuela in 1982 was travelling on a bus across Colombia. This was the big one. Two months exploring the cultural quilt of the Andes, from Quito to La Paz, and everything was in position for a great trip. He'd worked hard at his Spanish, read all the right books, and saved enough to avoid staying in flea pits.
The money, $3, 000, half cash and half dollar cheques, was mostly in his money belt. But Henry had learnt a few tricks in Venezuela, and so he had his passport fitted into a special pocket sewn into the leg of his jeans, just above the hem, on the inside.
Henry didn't have to use buses, but he wasn't due in Quito for another couple of days so he thought he'd see more of Colombia on the way, maybe meet some good people.
So there he was. Tough, safety conscious, amiable, talkative. And next to him on the bus was a small, friendly, middle-aged Colombian. They got on well, talked about politics, food, la vida dura, Venezuela vs. Colombia, and about rateros.
Henry's neighbour was scathing about the low moral standards of the younger generation. It was all the fault of the cocaine traders, he said, for creating greed and envy, and for demonstrating that the legal work ethic is no longer sufficient in Latin America. But, he said, Gracias a Dios, we're not all cast from the same mould. He produced a packet of biscuits, took one himself, and offered one to Henry.
Henry woke up 12 hours later, stiff and cold, by the side of the road. He had his T-shirt, his jeans – including concealed passport – a crippling headache, and nothing else.
His moneybelt, wallet, backpack, sports shoes, his friend, and the bus had gone.
Hours later, having begged the fare from some sympathetic europeans, he was sitting, dazed and depressed on another bus, when he saw a plastic notice that had been torn off the back of the seat in front of him. He picked it up and read, in Spanish, 'Do not accept food or drink from strangers. '
That is one travel safety rule that Henry will never forget.
Travel Safety 3: Date Rape Drugs
Of course in these days of Rohypnol (roofies) and other knock-out, tranquilising or 'date rape' drugs you (especially female travellers) should take extreme precautions with alcoholic drinks as well as food. e. g. if a guy buys you a drink make sure he has no opportunity to slip a roofie into the drink at any point. That means taking the drink with you when you go to the toilet too! (unless you have a trustworthy mate who stays with the drinks).
email from Chris:
Queenstown was awesome. . . . We made some really good chums there who very kindly took us with them on a cruise to Milford Sound, Mirror Lakes and joined us for a drink in World Bar, where I think I inadvertently took rohipnol. A lesson to all, especially girls, if two random creepy guys (I'm not talking about me and John obviously) buy you drinks then leave, taking their drinks with them but leaving yours untouched – DON'T DRINK THEM. Unless of course you want to wake up in a field with no memory and a curiously sore bottom.
Travel Safety 3: Bag snatchers
South America does not have a monopoly on street crime, of course. For example, bag-snatching by motorcycle pillion riders, the scippatori, originated in Italy, though now it's a global caper, much favoured in Peru.
Ratero is the colloquial Spanish term for thief, literally meaning big rat. These two-legged rodents are rampant in many cities in Latin America – particularly Bogota, Lima, Cuzco, Arequipa, La Paz, Rio de Janeiro. Let's not even mention Caracas. Generally they steal non-violently, picking a pocket, cutting a handbag or snatching a camera off a cafe table, but as travellers develop defences against these assaults, the rateros develop new systems of penetration.
Try to avoid market areas or railway stations, especially if you are well dressed.
Peru: On their way to dinner in Cusco's (safe) Plaza de Armas, the bugcrew started following a surprise procession through the exquisite old Inca capital and down to the market, by the railway station.
The market (photo top left), packed with Indian women in bowler hats and multicoloured petticoats and backed by muntain views, was a photographer's dream so the crew abandoned the procession in favour of the (unsafe) market, trying to take pictures discretely from a bar doorway, but their cameras and outfits were shouting rob me!
When the shootist stepped into the bar to pay for a beer, a teen ratero dashed by, whipped a camera out of the bag the partner was holding and disappeared down the street in a blur of tatty trainers. Pursued, but to no avail.
In the border town of La Gaujira, between Venezuela and Colombia, the bugcrew and a group of Venezuelan housewives had to walk 30 meters to the next bus, which they accomplished in a paranoid gaggle, hustled on by touts, vendors and rateros. On arriving in their seats the group discovered that 8 out of 15 shopping bags had been slit in that short distance and many kilos of onions had been stolen.
The best defence against snatching and slashing is to wear a tough shoulder bag diagonally across the body, not just over the shoulder. Tough so the strap cannot easily be cut, and it must be worn at the front of the body to avoid the razor rats who invariably approach from the rear. If the pack is too large to go on your front, put chicken wire inside it to blunt a blade.
The squeezy sauce bottle. Naturally the rateros have developed a weapon against safety conscious travellers, it's saucy.
One day in the dazzling white city of Arequipa, a bugcrewist left his mother happily snapping, camera and bag securely around her body, while he consulted a travel agent. Suddenly a smartly dressed gentleman pointed out that she had acquired some yellowish gunk on her sleeve. In no time at all he had helped her off with her bag, and was trying for the camera too when the bugcrew returned. But rateros can be even more discrete than this…

My question involves malpractice in the state of: LA
I visited St Francis hospital in Mid October to get x-ray done for my wrist. My doc told me that x-ray was not required but I could do it for just in case. At admission in St Francis, I provided my medical insurance card and asked how much I'd need to pay for x-ray, so that I could decide if I wanted to do it or not. I was provided with Estimate as $0 and estimate sheet mentions "Based on the services estimated and your insurgence benefits, it is estimated that you will owe $0.00 for your services". So based on this estimation and verbal confirmation I went ahead and did x-ray. But now hospital is sending me bill of $452 and saying that there was mistake at their side and I was provided 'estimate' but actual cost is $452.
I think, this is not fair. I wanted to know beforehand how much I'd need to pay and only after their confirmation I went with not urgent x-ray.
Am I liable to pay this money or can I take legal course to file a case against hospital as it is continue to bother me?
Thanks for any suggestions.

What Would Have Made More Sense:
Let's go along with the conceit that Xavier won't enter Mystique's mind and force her to step down. None of us are telepathic mutants and we can never fully understand their ways and customs. But ... couldn't he ignore Mystique and just go into the mind of Trask himself, then incept away all his mutant genocide thoughts?
You're already in the comments typing this, but the plot tries to account for it by starting the movie with Xavier's powers being broken. Except they don't stay that way for long. A few minutes after, you know, trying, he's mind-controlling people like crazy. He could have gone right up to Trask, shook his hand, and made him devote his life to, say, breaking the dildo-sitting world record. And to make it harder, he could have scanned the world for the man with the most flexible colon and planted it in his mind as well. It wouldn't have to be exactly that, we guess. The point is he needed something else to do with his life.
20th Century Fox
"Just keep an open mind on this dildo idea; he already has the mustache for it."
It's a movie about saving the world from hate, and they give the main character the one specific superpower that can do that directly. He works hard to make it complicated, but Professor X could do any number of clearly harmless, obviously beneficial things. In fact, once Xavier found out he was going to lose his hair, he could have planted an idea in some TV producer's brain to remake Star Trek, only with a bald Kirk so women in the future would find hairless men sexy. It sounds ridiculou- wait ... dear God ... are we, right now, living in the Days Of Future Past universe?

Project title: Improved low-cost ceramic water filters introduction in rural areas around Petit Goâve (Haiti)
Location of the action: Haiti
Lead manager and partners: Intermon Oxfam and University of Barcelona (coordinators)
Dates: 01/02/2011 to 01/02/2013
Donors: Intermon Oxfam (IO)
Amount contributed:
IO: 158000 euros
Personal Involved: Laura Guerrero, Alberto Ibañez, Marçal Trigo, Josep Mates and Rosina Girones
Objectives and results of the action:
Interventions to treat and to maintain the microbiological quality of the house water by Household Water Treatments (HWT) are between the most promising approaches to reduce the health impact of waterborne diseases. To assure the access to these technological solutions will contribute to health benefits complemented with other reinforcements in water, sanitation and hygiene.
Among several house water disinfection technologies that have shown microbiological effectiveness, the ceramics water filters (CWF) have been promoted actively like methods of water treatment of house in populations with low resources showing a high impact in health in the long term (Hunter, 2009).
The CWF is a flower pot-shaped, gravity flow, porous ceramic filter device intended to treat drinking water on the household scale. Water is poured through the porous ceramic pot into a receiving container that stores treated water, with the treated water dispensed via a tap.
The production of ceramic water filtration devices at the local level in developing countries is made possible by the fact that the necessary materials and knowledge are widely available and relatively inexpensive, although adapting these to the production of a high quality, low-cost, economic and socially sustainable, and proven device to provide safe water and reduce diarrheal disease does require significant innovation and investment.
At the moment, more than 17 filter facilities has been established around the world by Potters for Peace, a NGO that give technical advice and assistance to local partners.
The most successful projects, Cambodia and Guatemala, have the common implementation plan of an NGO with health and marketing experience teaming with a group of potters/trained individuals to produce the filter.
The projects that have failed or stopped producing were those projects, where the facility is not integrated into the local networks, where the NGO focus was not health, and/or where there was no marketing capacity.
Previous experiences in Dominican Republic suggest that household-based water filters fabricated locally are acceptable by the population, and a portion of the population use the filters for at least 16 months after they received, purchasing their own replacement in many cases.
Field trials of the effectiveness of ceramic water filters in Cambodia over time showed a 46% reduction in diarrheal disease between filter users and non-users, a 2 log10 reduction average reduction of E.coli in drinking water (Brown and Sobsey, 2006).
The viral disinfection is still a remaining challenge that needs further research.
In recent investigations has been suggested that electric charges of the ceramic components could play an important role in the retention/inactivation of viruses presents in water (Brown, 2009).
Resources Development International in Cambodia (RDIC) now adds Laterite to its clay mix. Laterite, a material high in Fe oxides, the positive charges of the Fe oxides has demonstrated a removal action of the largely negatively charged viruses. Laboratory testing has shown a 1 log10 reduction in viruses (Brown, 2007).
However, this reduction might not be sufficient to protect consumers from viral infections.
In developing countries, gastroenteritis is a common cause of death in children < 5 years that can be linked to a wide variety of pathogens. Much of the gastroenteritis in children is caused by viruses belonging to four distinct families: rotaviruses, caliciviruses, astroviruses and adenoviruses. Recent estimates attribute 527 000 deaths in children less than five years of age to rotavirus diarrhoea annually. (MSF-Spain data about diarrhoea in Haiti)
More basic research on technologies is needed for viral removal to play major role in providing safe water.
In this project we will provide a platform for exchange and interaction between microbiological research and its sustainable application in developing countries; the provision of clean water to most vulnerable communities.
The proposal of our project is:
- Evaluate the performance of different candidates of ceramic water filters and coatings against viral pathogens (surrogates and human pathogens). Local minerals in different concentrations at the clay mix will be tested in a pot-filter design.
Models will be evaluated based on filtration flow, virological efficiency, ease of manufacture, availability of materials, final cost, contribution to artisan activity, and ease of distribution.
- Those tests in laboratory will ensure a base line for a posterior field implementation.
- The health impacts associated with using the technology will be evaluated using appropriate rigorous epidemiological methods (blinded, randomized trials).
- The proven sustainability of the program in other experiences (ceramic water filters implementation at household level).
- The previous evaluation of different candidates in composition (local materials) in order to increase viral removal.
- The rigorous protocols of safety that will be taken to ensure the quality of the product.
- The extra benefit of providing jobs and supporting local enterprises.
- The evaluation of health impact of our program after implementation.
- To study the possibility of scaling-up within the country after program's evaluation.

Dr. Mansoor Virani once stated, "Come as a Patient, Leave as Family" I can't think of any medical clinic that emphasizes on the true meaning behind a strong body, soul, commitment, determination and most importantly strong family values other then Virani's Global Foot & Ankle Clinic with the assistance of his Elite Staff members that provide exceptional service while overcoming your medical condition or should I say obstacle. Mansoor Virani is a Podiatrist who you can trust and always keep the lines of communication open and free. His practice is extremely flexible when needed to schedule an appointment. Needless to say, if you work long hours especially in this economy, he will always accommodate your scheduling needs.
Dr. Mansoor Virani has a real passion for serving the needs of patients and is best described as a humanitarian both professionally and personally. He's out there volunteering his time for the less fortunate who may not have proper insurance and yet still finds ways to embrace his medical practices. In the office, Dr. Virani uses the latest cutting edge technology to better understand your situation and level of discomfort. His dedication to the cause is noteworthy.
Since 1994, I've been a patient and now a loyal friend. Over the years, I've had countless ingrown toe nails, a nasty Neuroma, and now a sports injury relating to a minor stress fracture. However, if it wasn't for Virani's willingness to understand my athletic background I would have never had the opportunity to play College Football or run the 2006 Chicago Half-Marathon and the 2007 Chicago Marathon. Today, I am training for the 2010 Chicago Rock and Roll Marathon and I want to thank Global Foot & Ankle Clinic on being a part of my athletic success.
As an athlete, I am honored to write this testimonial for Dr. Virani and his practice and if you're in pain MAKE THE APPOINTMENT!!!!

Jamie Dimon is an American business executive and the CEO at JP Morgan`s chase bank, the largest biggest bank in the united states of America.
Dimon made a speech about bitcoin where he labeled the cryptocurrency as fraud and also said he would fire any of the employees who are trading the cryptocurrency "bitcoin".
if we had a trader who traded bitcoin i`d fire him in a second for two reasons, one,it is against our rules.two, itS stupid.
Jamie while speaking at CNBC, who was asked why he tagged bitcoin as fraud, where he said that bitcoin is like a non existent currency being manipulated and can rise to a $100,000 and fall back rapidly.
He stated that the banks create currencies and controls it, and is keen to know whoever is behind any cryptocurrency. Dimon made remarks on the possibility of China shutting down all bitcoin exchanges after banning all ICOs and might soon ban bitcoin in China and it ends up shutting down.
He stated that
it is worst than tulip bulbs .it won`t end well. someone is going to get killed.
The price of bitcoin suffered a great setback after the comment by Jamie Dimon in conjunction with the tweet of charlie lee, the creator of litecoin, where he tweeted..
"Looks like this time china finally banned bitcoin."
The two buzz came in almost at the same time and created huge sell orders for bitcoin which caused the price soar from $4,000 upwards to $3000, and put the market in an immediate blood bath.
Jamie Dimon also said that his daughter bought bitcoin and is always happy whenever the price is up, this makes me think why Jamie Dimon now earlier said that he was going to sack any of their staffs who had anything to do with bitcoin, whereas his daughter is a holder of the cryptocurrency.
The banks have mostly been attacking bitcoin and opposing the cryptocurrency, because it is most likely to put them off their job/work.
Just for fun , Bitcoin fires back at Jamie Dimon ?
What do you think of jamie dimon`s fraud tag on bitcoin ? , let us know in the comment section below.

Hi guys!!! I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend! I have a new recipe to share, it's perfect for barbeques or for upcoming tailgates you may be attending! I'm a huge fan of Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips, so when Tracy posted a recipe for a Salt & Vinegar Potato Salad a few years I made a mental note, but never got around to making it until earlier this summer! I'm sorry I waited so long! This is not you average potato salad, it's much better!!

Salt and Vinegar Potato Salad
Israeli Couscous and Grape Tomato Salad
I bought a basil plant a few weeks ago when I made my Summer Vegetable Pie, and later I realized that I needed to use all my fresh basil on some new recipes. I saw this original recipe in my June issue of Bon Appetit. With a few tweaks here and there I had a lighter couscous salad that screamed summer. It's super easy to boot!

Weekend Snapshots June 22-24, 2012
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your first "official" weekend of summer! It was hot and steamy in DC, but I still managed to spend some time in the sun, and eat some great grub! Friday night, I threw together a quinoa salad with garbanzo beans and leftover roasted veggies from earlier in the week. Dressed with a little olive oil and red wine vinegar, this was a light and quick dinner that I enjoyed before Chris and I met a few of his friends out in DC!

Ribboned Asparagus Salad
I made this Ribboned Asparagus Salad last Sunday, after mulling over sides to serve with a steak dinner. I was just going to roast the asparagus, which is one of my favorite ways to prepare this veggie, but then I decided turning it in a raw salad would be a nice change! This salad was incredibly refreshing, and provided a great contrast to a hot meal. I know that peeling asparagus may sound a little overwhelming, but it only took me about fifteen minutes to "ribbon" the entire bunch!
Deconstructed Guacamole Salad
Do you guys know what tomorrow is? Cinco de Mayo! I know it's also the Kentucky Derby, but I made this salad for Chris and I before we left for Florida last week. I thought it was a perfect dish to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! A salad on Cinco de Mayo means less guilt when having a margarita! (A salad on Derby Day means less guilt when having a mint julep too!)
I frequently eat a salad for lunch. So, if I am committing to having one for dinner, then it needs to have a little something extra going on. In order to make this salad "dinner-worthy," I roasted the tomatoes, sautéed the onions, and made a Honey Lime Vinaigrette with Cilantro.
To make two of my Deconstructed Guacamole Salads you need the following: 1 cup of grape tomatoes, 1/4 yellow onion, 4 cups (or handfuls) of spinach, 1 avocado, 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, olive oil cooking spray, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper (not pictured).
For the dressing, you need: 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 minced garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon of diced jalapeño, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro.
We want to begin by making the Honey Lime Vinaigrette with Cilantro, so the flavors can meld together. Start off by dicing your jalapeño pepper. I left out half of the seeds from the section I diced to add to the vinaigrette for spice, but you can leave more out for less heat.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of diced jalapeño, 1/2 of a minced garlic clove, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a small bowl or jar. Next add 1 tablespoon of honey.
Finally add 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro.
Mix to combine, and set aside.
Now lets move on to the salad. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Slice one cup of grape tomatoes in half. Add tomatoes to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray your tomatoes with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes. In the mean time, cut 1/4 of a yellow onion into rounds. Add to a pan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Saute over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes.
Remove your tomatoes from the oven. They will be soft, but should maintain their shape.
Once your onion is soft and brown with a little char, remove from the heat.
Before adding the onions and tomatoes, toss 4 cups of spinach with half of the Honey Lime Vinaigrette. Add the spinach to a plate, then top with the roasted tomatoes and sautéed onions.
Add a few crushed tortilla chips as croutons, then finally, top each salad with 1/2 of an avocado. I fanned mine, meaning you remove the pitted avocado with a spoon and then slice it lengthwise, leaving a small part connected at the top so that the finished avocado will "fan out" along the salad. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and enjoy!!!

The appetite suppression supplement stack below is to show the best and commonly used supplements that reduce general hunger and suppress appetite, especially in a period of weight loss and dieting.
This stack is perfect for people having a hard time dealing with sugar-cravings.
1) Caralluma Fimbriata
Caralluma fimbriata appears to reduce hunger, but may take time to work, limited amount of evidence though, and more historical usage of being a famine vegetable to suppress hunger and appetite.
14 g is the dose of the plant (or vegetable) used, and the study that was conducted in humans used a 14:1 concentrated extract (so, 1 g of this extract was needed to be equivalent).
5-HTP ( 5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a supplement that is known to increase satiety and should be taken with food. 5-HTP appears to reliably reduce food intake to around 60% of baseline values (placebo groups tend to hit 80%).
5-HTP should not be used alongside anti-depressant medication, in particular SSRIs or MAOIs.
3) Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid is very reliable for reducing appetite in research animals via suppressing hypothalamic AMPK (a mechanism similar to the hormone leptin). The beginning bit of human research tends to agree with the large body of animal research.
There is a possibility that it is not effective in humans, so this one remains preliminary.

After the winter rain and grey of yesterday, the sun is shining benevolence over the Bay. Alamo Square was swarming with tourists as I walked up and over Hayes St. after yoga class this morning. San Francisco was wearing its best smile, all painted ladies and green grass and blue sky, and from a distance, it was hard to fathom the condition of the Bay waters. Despite my wish to help with the oil cleanup, my attempts at volunteerism where put on hold. I, like hundreds of folks who wanted to help either didn't get an assignment or were turned away. Evidently most of the work right now is too tricky for average folk. Nonetheless, Baykeeper and Fish and Wildlife Service ((800) 228-4544 ) are good places to call so you can be notified when jobs turn up.
Saturday evening, I attended a "yoga scholars" dinner organized by Eric Shaw, in Alameda where many of the area's yoga teacher/writer/thinkers gathered to meet. Fun to see some people whose byline I've read in the past, live and in the flesh, and find such a diverse crew is documenting yoga in all its flavors-from "the orthodoxy" to new forms, to women's spirituality to green yoga -in modern times. The evening concluded with talk of semi-regular yoga salons. Walked away with some perspective on how I may or may not fit into the mix and got up motivated to practice. When all is said and done, liberation (as well as writing clearly) is work. Ya just gotta get to it.
I'm looking forward to playing at the Bazaar later this evening. I've been listening to the Michael-mastered versions of my tunes for the past few days and it's time to go live! RE: CD production, Artwork decisions also continue to be made and Talbot and I discussed using an image from my India notebooks for the cover. I had hoped to get this all done by this weekend-hah!-now I'm aiming for the next three weeks. Stay tuned.
