Simple and Empowering
A Dollar A Day is a simple, affordable and empowering way to support front-line mental health and addictions programs. Everyone gives a little and together our voices become a strong, collective voice for change in how society views mental health and addictions.
We're all impacted by mental health and addictions challenges. We've either been there ourselves or we have a friend, family member or co-worker we care about who has. The principles of the A Dollar A Day Foundation are based on this reality and the realization that access to effective treatment programs is being constrained by financial resources.
Since we're all in this together, we've conceived a simple and empowering way for each of us to own a small piece of the solution. The A Dollar A Day Foundation is a registered Canadian Charity and through this foundation, as equals, each giving A Dollar A Day, we will change lives and Be the Change we all want to see. Join us as we Share the Change for Mental Health and Addictions.
Our Principles
1 Equality among donors
- We ask everyone for A Dollar A Day - no more, no less - to establish a fundamental equity among donors. Your voice for social change is needed - your dollar will go far and will count the same as everyone else's in sending a louder message.
2 Lean and Efficient
- The A Dollar A Day Foundation will be kept simple, lean, and efficient. No grand fundraising events or costly ad campaigns. More dollars to the front line! By looking to corporate partners to support a separate endowment to cover operating and administration costs, more and more of your dollar goes directly to the front lines. Our goal is simple. You give a dollar and every cent of it goes directly to help with Mental Health and Addictions. 100%.
3 Transparency through exemplary communications
- Through cost-effective online communications, we will Share the Change you are making possible and provide donors with a voice and a vehicle for Sharing the Change with others.
4 Regional Investment
- The goal is to fund programs where donors can see and hear about the impact; one in every region of the country and more as we grow.
5 No Duplication
We do not deliver programs or profess to be experts in mental health. With the help of organizations such the Canadian Mental Health Association, we identify needs and fund proven programs that are succeeding, but just need more financial resources.
6 Impact Today
Good people are suffering today and effective programs and program partners exist. Through partnerships with credible organizations your investment will hit the ground running.

The concept of being a woman is something I've spent so much time pondering on over the years and I'm sure it will be always be a topic I love to explore and discuss. I've spoken about gender-related topics both on this blog and I've written magazine articles on the topic too. Being a woman is something I am so passionate about and I love the skin I'm in so much, despite the challenges, every single day. Here's my version of what it means to be a woman.
2019's most loved basics
Throughout the year, I've noticed that there are a few key pieces that keep popping up all over the internet as 2019's most loved basics. Whether it is a basic cami to wear under a great blazer, key layering necklaces that you can wear with just about any outfit or the most comfortable set of pajamas you've ever experienced, I've grouped them together and decided to provide the details to all of them in today's blog post.
Red gingham dress
I absolutely love a red gingham dress and always. Gingham has always been one of my favourite prints and I think it looks great in a dress form in the summer.

The president of the Human Trafficking Coalition of the Palm Beaches had a sobering message for Park Vista High School students: Teens like them are among the most likely to fall victim to the crime her organization is fighting.
"There are students in this country that are being trafficked on their lunch hour, or that go to school during the day and they're being trafficked at night," Tanya Meade told more than 20 students who gathered recently for a Human Trafficking Awareness Club meeting.
Human trafficking: What is it, and what is being done about it?
It wasn't the first visit the coalition had paid to schools during the past year. Students at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Riviera Beach, Atlantic High in Delray Beach and Palm Beach Maritime Academy in Lantana have also learned about the threat of human trafficking, which some people have called modern-day slavery.
Some Florida legislators want all students in the state to hear the message. A bill before the Florida Legislature would require students in all public middle and high schools to be taught about the dangers of human trafficking.
"Human trafficking is the exploitation of vulnerability," Meade said. "If we don't educate our kids, that lack of knowledge is a vulnerability in itself."
More Florida children forced into sex trade, state finds
Park Vista's club, which meets once a month, has about 40 members, says Hannah Goodman, 17, who founded the club at the suburban Boynton Beach school.
"We're the third-largest county in the third-largest state for human trafficking and we have a huge school," Goodman said. "We have over 3,000 kids. There's bound to be someone who is at risk."
Florida law defines human trafficking as the use of fraud, force or coercion to exploit another person for sex, labor or domestic servitude.
Last January, the county formed a task force, led by State Attorney Dave Aronberg, that has led a crackdown on human trafficking. At least 12 men were arrested in 2017, and a jury has found one guilty.
A state report released in the summer showed that more children in Florida fell victim to commercial sexual exploitation in 2016 than in the previous year. The state's Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability says that there were 17 verified cases in Palm Beach County in 2016, six in St. Lucie County and three in Martin County.
Behind closed doors: Hotels, motels emerge as human-trafficking sites
School-age children have figured in some Palm Beach County human-trafficking arrests this year. A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office investigation led to the arrest in May of Lantana resident Joel Bautista Trinidad, who was accused of trying solicit a middle-school-age girl through social media and encouraged her to recruit her friends into prostitution. Trinidad is awaiting trial after rejecting a plea agreement in November that would have sent him to prison for 20 years.
Also, Marco Orrego of suburban Boynton Beach pleaded guilty to federal sex trafficking charges after authorities alleged he forced a teenage girl into prostitution at a Boynton Beach motel.
Advocates say mandatory school programs would raise students' awareness on trafficking. Senate Bill 96 would require public schools to include instruction on the dangers and signs of human trafficking in health education classes.
Similar bills in the House and Senate failed in May, with the Senate measure, introduced by Sen. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, clearing two committees and making it to the Appropriations Committee. But advocates say educators have become more open to introducing the topic to their campuses.
"As awareness grows and the more we talk about it, I think it's really more and more getting on people's radar," said Meade, the trafficking coalition president.
Behind closed doors: Hotels, motels emerge as human-trafficking sites
One of the first county students to start an anti-trafficking effort agrees.
Valentina Ferreira was involved in a similar effort during her time as a student at Wellington High School. Ferreira, who graduated in 2013, founded Love Moves, which raised $10,000 to help start Palm Beach County's first safe house for girls who were victims of human trafficking.
Ferreira, 23, recalled some in the community wondering why someone so young would address an issue as serious as human trafficking.
"I don't think people are used to someone seeking justice at a young age," she said. "They were like, 'That's a matter for adults.' "
But Ferreira said it's important for teens and young children to hear the truth about the threat of human traffickers.
"If I'm being honest, the biggest problem is not treating a younger (audience) like they can understand," she said.

You've no idea how excited I am by this! It's been a long time in the making, but I'm finally excited to announce that my Astro Photography Workshops are about to get even better!
I've been able to secure a permanent room inside The Causeway Hotel where I can now run part of the workshop along with supplying freshly made tea/coffee & sandwiches!
I've been able to keep the price the exact same as before, but in addition to where my previous workshops where purely shooting, we'll now start with an introduction session, onto a practical session and we'll finish the night with a post processing session. Also now included as standard during Part 3 is fresh tea, coffee and sandwiches supplied by The Causeway Hotel.
During the Introduction & Post Processing sessions all presentations will be carried out on an overhead projector.
Workshop Itinerary
My astrophotography workshops will now be split into 3 parts.
Theory/Introduction Session (1.5 hours)
I will cover everything from the basics of shooting astrophotography to focusing, exposure, and white balance, to the more creative techniques such as light painting and star trails.
Practical Session (3 hours)
The practical part, this is where we'll head down to The Giants Causeway headland, hopefully under a nice clear sky and you'll be putting everything you've learnt in the theory session into practice.
Post-Processing Session (1.5 hours)
It's one thing knowing how to take images of the night sky, but to make to those images comes to life we need to dive into the world of Lightroom & Photoshop. You'll learn the basics of correcting your images in Adobe Lightroom and then we'll take those images into Adobe Photoshop and learn how to make them pop!
Future Workshops
In future workshops, The Causeway Hotel will be able to offer a small discount in accommodation, so if you're travelling from further afield, why not make a weekend out of it!
Some of the nearby popular attractions include Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Ballintoy Harbour & Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge – which I will be more than glad to help you in pinpointing them on a Google Map.
Book Your Seat Now!
The first workshop that will feature this entire new setup is on the 17th February 2018, you can book now by clicking on add to basket, or click on the thumbnail.

The Olympics of the art World
The Olympics of the art World Located on the banks of the Rhine, at the border between Switzerland, France and Germany, Basel is Switzerland's third largest city. It's also world-renowned for THE premier international art show for modern and contemporary works. But more on that in just a pointillist dot. Basel should also be well known for its main train station, which is practically a city in its own right. You can enter through the "French" side, go through a winding hall and exit through the "Swiss" side. Up the stairs, you'll find a bank, grocery store and wine shop (sure, get money, buy wine and cheese, and start living the Swiss way). Downstairs, you'll find the oddly named McClean area. For a few Swiss Francs you can use these shower facilities that includes a towel, soap and shampoo. This is great for someone who arrives by overnight train and wants to freshen up before heading out into the city. Learn more about Basel

Amid the criticism over rising cases of encounters in Uttar Pradesh, as many as 15 police shootouts were reported from 10 districts of the state in just 48 hours, said a media report. Taking cognisance of the violent crackdown by the state government on criminals, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had sought a detailed report from the UP government in November last year. But the good thing about the encounters is that it has instilled a never before seen fear in the mind of the culprits. In a bizzare incident reported from Bareilly, Jagdish Malik a wanted criminal was caught digging a tunnel from his home to the jail.
Jagdish has been on the run since last 3 years and has umpteen number of cases registered against him by the UP police. Looking at the growing number of encounters in recent days, Jagdish was unable to go out of home from many days in the past. He tried hard to somehow escape the state and settle down in some other state but all in vain. A huge movie buff, Jagdish Malik got the idea of digging a tunnel from the movie Shawshank Redemption and thought that once he is inside the jail no one can kill him. So he started digging a tunnel some 2 months back. The process of digging was kept a secret and only his family members knew about his plan.
After digging for 2 months, Jagdish arrived at the Bareilly central jail today morning and has taken abode inside one of the prisons. The Prison authorities were shocked by this incident and upon investigation found that the tunnel started from Jagdish's home. To prevent other criminals using the new route, police officials filled up the tunnel with help of local authorities.

Not Another Tie.
Not another Tie
Sub-title for this blog (related to my dad), Not another dozen golf balls.
Going to keep this blog entry short and sweet. Fathers Day is less than a month away. Pro tip. Stop with the golf balls and ties. Dad doesn't need any more.
Be different, be unique, take a few moments to search out something creative, something that he will truly appreciate and something that no other dad will get this year.
Of course you can shop at right here on my site, we will have some unique gift packs for dads, those of like beer, cigars and cool stuff in general like the modern take on vintage bullet pencils. But don't stop there. Search out craftsman that aren't cranking out cookie cutter products. Search out products made in America, by hand, by people with a passion for what they produce.
That is all, and hey Dad, Thank you.
Bad Idea!

Liar by Justine Larbalestier ~ A Spoilery Review of an Unforgettable Book
POC Reading Challenge
Warning: This is a highly spoilerific review with my thoughts, ideas and outcomes of the actual story. The author has requested around the blogosphere to keep the "twist" under wraps. I'm putting this under the cut so I don't freak anyone out too much but I highly suggest you read the book before reading the reviews so you can see how things turn out. Things in the book are definitely not always as they seem.
A little background.
I had heard about the Liar whitewashing cover controversy when it happened. I was shocked how some shrugged it off as saying the narrator is a liar so naturally her appearance wouldn't be as presented (seriously, people?) but I'm glad the hoopla made Bloomsbury rethink their cover into something a little closer (although not quite spot on) to the description of the character. Unfortunately, we had another go 'round with another whitewashing cover. This time it was Jaclyn Dolamore's Magic Under Glass (which is in my TBR pile) whose book video clearly states how the heroine is depicted. A vast difference from the first cover. Again the re-imagined cover doesn't come quite close to the description of the heroine but it is a minor improvement.
It's more than just a brunette character being portrayed as a blonde on the cover, it's wiping out a big part of the narrator's heritage which has been going on a within the publishing industry on the belief that people of color don't read or don't sell as much as their white counterparts. Hopefully with more readers going online to shop for hidden gems to support authors and books that go under the radar, this will change even as the publishing industry continues downhill. For more info about this phenomenon and to show your support against it, check out the Facebook page for Readers Against Whitewashing (and grab a spiffy logo while you're there ;-)).
Also check out The Librarian's Bookshelf Cover Fail Post and the awesome Cover Matters from The Book Smugglers.
I went back and forth whether or not I'm going to post the full review here or not. I don't want some unsuspecting reader to randomly come across the book and be spoiled unwittingly. So instead I'll just link to the full review on Goodreads. That way folks can have more of a choice.
My full review of Liar is located here.
If anyone has read this and would love to chat about it, don't be afraid to open up a dialogue!

SIERRA NEGRA, Mexico – In the biggest joint Mexico-U.S. scientific venture ever, builders are finishing a monster telescope on top of a volcano that will let astronomers look back 13 billion years and uncover secrets about the creation of the universe.
President Vicente Fox and Mexico's scientific community have championed the telescope, the largest of its kind in the world, saying it shows how a developing country can play a major role in cutting-edge technology.
Yet the fact that most of the U.S. funding comes from the Defense Department has worried some Mexicans who are leery of any military connections with their powerful northern neighbor.
"We want Mexico to be in the vanguard of scientific advance, but it would be better if all the money came from nonmilitary sources," said Rosa Maria Aviles, a federal lawmaker on the lower house of Congress' Science and Technology Committee. "We are a pacifist nation."
U.S. and Mexican scientists say the Pentagon often funds scientific projects so it can use the technology, but the actual telescope will have no direct military use.
With a 165-foot antenna and a total cost of nearly $120 million, the project dwarfs any scientific endeavor that Mexico has been involved in before.
The gleaming white structure, which looks like a gigantic satellite dish, springs out of volcanic rocks on the freezing-cold summit of the 15,000-foot-high Sierra Negra.
Located in the central state of Puebla, Sierra Negra is one of six Mexican volcanoes that are higher than any peaks in the continental United States.
Working above cloud level, the telescope will pick up millimeter-long radio waves that have been traveling through space for nearly 13 billion years. Astronomers will use the information to plot more detailed maps than ever of stars and galaxies as they existed shortly after the big bang.
"We will get incredible new insight into how galaxies were first formed," said project scientist David Hughes of Mexico's National Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics Institute. "Once we start operating, we should be making breakthrough discoveries on an almost daily basis."
Scientists also will be able to collect new data on nearer galaxies, such as Andromeda, examining their stars and planets to see what might lurk there.
The telescope will be ready for test use in May and will be fully operational by the end of next year, said construction director Emanuel Mendez.
So far, the United States has invested $38 million in the project, $31 million of which came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon's central research and development organization.
The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee first allocated the agency's funds for the telescope in 1995 when the project was in its infancy. In a report that year, the committee wrote that the "design could greatly improve the capability" to find and recognize targets in space.
Translated: Since the telescope is essentially a giant antenna with sensors to pick up radio waves, the military could use knowledge learned in constructing the instrument to build antennas for its own uses, said Peter Schloerb, the U.S. project scientist for the telescope.
"The military may want to use antennas for space surveillance," said Schloerb, who is from the University of Massachusetts. "It is a way to figure out what everybody is doing up there."
While the telescope is designed to pick up radio waves that have traveled vast distances through space, the technology also could be used to build antennas that pick up the same waves much closer to home, said John Pike, director of military information website GlobalSecurity.org.
"Millimeter-wave sensor technology has the potential to locate camouflaged objects on the ground or help guide missiles," Pike said.
Silvia Torres, an astronomer at Mexico's National Autonomous University, said she has no problem with U.S. Defense Department investment in scientific research south of the border as long as it is not for specific military projects.
"There has always been an interaction between the scientific and military communities," Torres said. "It is important to get investment here. We have a lot of talented young scientists and a good geography for instruments like telescopes."
Defense Department investments have helped create a range of civilian-use innovations such as the internet.
The grumbling by lawmakers about Pentagon involvement in the project has not led to broader protest actions or demonstrations against the telescope in Mexico. But the Mexican and U.S. builders who are constructing the monster telescope at 15,000 feet face other challenges.
Because of the altitude, all workers are regularly tested to see if they have enough oxygen in their blood and are rushed down the mountain if their level is found to be dropping too fast.
The team had to haul a whopping 13,000 tons of concrete up the dirt road that winds around the extinct volcano.
Hundreds of local villagers were hired to bring up the materials in their compact cars, an effort to employ local residents in one of the poorest areas of the country.
At the beginning, vehicles could not reach the summit and villagers used mules to bring up the concrete, said Mendez, the construction director.
"Mules are fantastic at navigating mountains," Mendez said. "They are the best road engineers in the world."

I HAVE SO many good memories of my dad, and the best thing about it is that every time I come home to visit, there will be more. Some of the highlights are his bringing me to Manila Bay shoreline at Luneta before I learned to walk, a practice he continued with my own kids; bringing me to his favorite Binondo watering holes, soccer games and the occasional Cantonese movie; jogging on Roxas Blvd which I originally disliked, having to wake up so early to avoid the blazing Sunday heat, but later realized it was one of the best things we did together; and sharing with me his opinions on why our country would continue suffering age-old problems no matter who was president or which party controlled Congress.

1178 kilometer long trip to Kerala
It was excellent experience a 4 day long self driven journey to Kerala state head quarters(Trivandrum) from Tamil nadu state headquarters(Chennai).
I was selling my Yamaha RD350 legendary bike to a keralite as my bike beard the KL number plate. At the same time I promised my friend Shibu that I will handover his Jeep restored by me at his home town. Hence I was in a situation to drive both the vehicles from Chennai to Trivandrum.
There was another purpose on this trip to drop my kids at my hometown hence with the help of my Jeep/RD350 mechanic Bharani I started my longest journey.
The entire trip was covered above 2400kms including return but the 1178kms is the best experience as I was riding the bike or driving the Jeep continually.
Good experience of Bike failures and fix, Jeep thrill and what else met all my good friends one among was Mr.Muthukumar from Coimbatore who restored and possesses huge sum of vintage beauties.
Also met Sajeev, Shinoy and Shibu from Kerala
There was a horrible accident before my eyes in Kerala made my day bit sad as the driver was kill instantly on that incident. It was a Maruti Swift which had to face to fate with road divider and rolled couple of times before landed upside down on the opposite track last lane.

Pregnancy 101 | Early Pregnancy Testing
Pregnancy 101 | Early Pregnancy Testing:
http://www.lumalove.com/ So let us look at early pregnancy testing, how early can you test for pregnancy. You can absolutely do a home pregnancy test on the day that your period is due. So say you normally have your period once every 28 days or one has every 26 days, whenever you think that your period is due, you can do a urine test.
When is the best time to do early pregnancy testing?
Now the best time to do a test for pregnancy would be on the first sample of urine in the morning. The only reason why I say that is because this urine sample is more concentrated with hormones especially if you have not gotten up to go to the bathroom at least for six hours. This urine is more focused, more concentrated with pregnancy hormones.
What is the best type of test to use for early pregnancy testing?
The pregnancy test kits that you would be using to test for pregnancy they come in all different types. Some of them have lines, some of them have the signs for positive and a negative, some of them would say the word positive or not pregnant, yes pregnant, it does not matter. All the tests are basically more or less the same. So if it is showing that you are pregnant no matter how faint or how strong it is it means you are pregnant. Then you have to decide what you are going to do. You know if you definitely are going to keep the baby I would advise you to get an appointment with the doctor, midwife, nurse practitioner as soon as you can. The reason for this is so that we can make sure that everything is going normally for you and make sure that you are healthy to carry the baby.
Now, there is another form of pregnancy test that you can have done not a routine though for all pregnancies and that is a blood test for pregnancy. Again we are just checking for the hormones, we are checking on the level of hormones. We would only do serum blood test if you were on infertility treatment medication or that we were thinking you are having a miscarriage or something not going right then we might follow the hormones for your blood test.
But the over-the-counter pregnancy testing kits that you can get in any pharmacy, a lot of the food stores have them now are very, very accurate and they are almost the same test that we actually use in the OB/GYN office.
If you are pregnant then congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy. If you now choose not to keep your pregnancy then I say to you it is a difficult time for you in your life and please do not beat yourself up over for whatever decision that you are going to make.
I believe that everything in life is pre-planned and you know we always do not see the bigger picture of life. So please take it easy, be very positive in your life, forgive yourself for all your mistakes, and just accept yourself for who you are.

There's this new bubble milk tea establishment that just sprung up at 2nd floor Prangin Mall called Cool Blog with the tagline "Be cool with a refreshing blog".
There was quite a queue at the outlet when we walked past a couple of weeks ago and thought of giving it a try.
So we got ourselves a drink which one of the crew recommended Blue Berry Italian Soda Milk Shake
It was very rich but too sweet to our liking... we couldn't finish it in the end due to its sweetness overloading :(
Maybe they should use 'Be sweet with a sweetening blog' as its tagline instead :P
Penang chabo who loves eating and writing about food. Everything food. Penang, KL, outside Malaysia; Snacks, road side stalls, chain restaurants, fine dining, desserts, home cooking, and bla bla bla bla bla...but still, Penang food ROCKS anytime!

What is our mission? How are we structured? What is our history? What is our non-partisan policy?
The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.
Our Vision, Beliefs, and Intentions guide our activities.
May 2008
Ā The League of Women Voters of the Plattsburgh Area shall not support or oppose any political party or candidate. The League discourages all members from making partisan comments at League meetings about elected officials, political party activates, or candidates that would tend to inhibit discussion by people with opposing views or political persuasions. The League endorses open and free discussion of political events which allows all points of view to be voiced. It is the responsibility of each member to guard the League's reputation for nonpartisanship. Members in leadership roles at units and other League public meetings have the responsibility to ensure the nonpartisanship of the meeting and its environment. Questions of a political nature such as those concerning petitions and distribution of pamphlets must be brought to the attention of the President. Ā All League members are encouraged to seek an active role in all aspects of the political process. Members are encouraged to run for political office, but may not campaign at League meetings. They may, however, identify themselves as candidates. Ā Board members must resign in writing before declaring an intention to be a candidate for public office. Board members who become politically active should do so as individuals and never as League members. The political activates of a spouse or relative of a Board member are considered separate and distinct from the activates of the Board member. Board members shall not sponsor or host coffees, meetings or fundraisers for incumbents, or candidates. As citizens seeking information, all board members may attend coffees or political meetings in order to hear the positions of candidates. Ā The President and Voter Service Chair shall refrain from any partisan political activities. Ā Note: Official League position statements are issued only by the President or designee. Action on issues should be done as an individual, not as a League member. Ā

Momentum. Confidence. A win. Three things the City College Men's basketball team needed after Saturday's game, and they got them. Like most of their games this season, the match-up between CCNY and Mariners of USMMA came down to the wire, and this time CCNY came out on top, with a final score of 77-72.
It was the final home game of the season for the Beavers. The team finishes the season having split their home games, going 7-7 when on their hardwood. In addition, it was also Senior night, or afternoon. Blake Borysewicz, the only senior on the team, was honored before the game.
"I've been here for a semester and a half, but I definitely have a lot of memories here. It's very important for me to come out and try to close this last home game with a 'W'," Borysewicz said after the game.
He finished the game with five points, four rebounds, and one assist. Mark Richards had the game-high 22 points, along with four rebounds and two assists. Khalil Hamer had 19 points, six rebounds, and four assists. The team as a whole shot .481 from the field, not their worst performance of the season.
CCNY started the game playing catch-up, after USMMA started the game with a 7-0 run. With just over five minutes remaining in the first half, City took the lead off of a couple of free throws by Hamer. They were able to retain the lead for the rest of the half, heading into the locker room up 38-31. After the break, it was all CCNY. USMMA briefly tied the game at 62, but CCNY immediately responded with a 12-4 run, while also winding the clock down to a minute. The Mariners began to foul intentionally, hoping that they could find a way back in the game, but Hamer and Borysewicz were able to hit a few from the foul line to keep City ahead for the remainder of the game.
"Coming off a losing streak, it's a definitely a big win, just to set the tone for us. We got all conference games all the way going into the CUNY playoffs," Richards said in a post-game interview.
The team snaps a two-game losing streak with the win. Their overall record improves to 12-10, while remaining at 6-7 in the conference. As mentioned before, there are only three games remaining in the season. All of them against conference opponents. All of them on the road. All of them more important than the last. The guys will start the season ending road trip on Tuesday when they face the Baruch College Bearcats. Earlier this season, the guys lost to Baruch 79-88. The last time they played Baruch on their court, they also lost. In fact, the last time they defeated Baruch was in the '06-'07 season, when they won 62-59 in Baruch's ARC Arena. It's been a while, but when's a better time to turn the tables on a rivalry that's been one-sided far too long. For the Beavers, that time is now.

Whether you are traveling for business or for pleasure, you must plan carefully. Here are a few tips that can help.
Choosing a seat on the aisle will open more options for you. While a window seat offers a view, an aisle seat allows you easy access to restrooms, overhead baggage and flight attendants; in addition, you do not have a person crowding you on one side.
When you are taking a long trip but traveling light, bring a soft-lined raincoat. You just can't tell how the weather will be too far out. Your raincoat can be used when it is chilly. You can even use it as a bathrobe when in the hotel.
While you should talk to your doctor beforehand to ensure it is advisable, taking a sleeping pill might be the answer to an otherwise taxing flight. Lots of people aren't comfortable sleeping on planes, because the place isn't familiar, the seats are uncomfortable, and the passengers and airplane make noise. You may want to consider bringing sleeping pills with you on your flight, in order to rest comfortably. You do not want to take the pills right before you take off, because if there is any type of problem or delay, you need to be alert.
Cash in your traveler's checks before shopping or dining. Though lots of places will accept the checks, it can be a hassle. If you use them, you may find that you get shorted, so convert them to local currency before you shop.
If you have a child with you on your road trip, be sure to get out of the car every couple of hours. Breaks will let you stretch and use the bathroom. Kids can get some fresh air, too. Though it adds a little time, the stress reduction is valuable.
If you need reminders during a trip, use a dry-erase marker on a mirror. It will serve as a great reminder. Dry erase markers wipe off quite easily and make this a convenient way to remind yourself.
To make planning your next vacation a breeze, book your trip online. The effort you have to put into travel planning is minimized when you use the right Internet resources. You can book everything you need for your trip, from rental cars to flights to hotel rooms, all from the comfort of your computer. Pictures and reviews of hotels are right at your finger tips. You'll also find great discounts while planning your trip, and deals are often offered for last-minute arrangements.
Extra Passport Photo
Make sure that you have an extra passport photo. It can take a while to replace a passport that has gone missing. An extra passport photo is the quickest way to help the process along. You should also have copies of any other documentation you might need.
Weather is a powerful consideration when planning any trip. Be sure to always check forecasts for any inclement weather that is headed your way. Unexpected weather can turn a vacation into a nightmare.
When traveling internationally, use bottled water. In many countries, potable water has not been thoroughly cleaned, and can be responsible for a wide range of ailments. Do not forget to use bottled water for teeth brushing as well. It is possible to get sick from using the water when brushing your teeth.
Remember to bring your medication. This is vital as it could lead to you getting sick on the vacation if you forget. If you do forget, you might find it hard to get your medicine.
Do not exchange your money at the airport. Since it is easily accessible for exchanging currency, the rates can be quite high. Before you fly in, research nearby banks for currency exchanges, and you will receive better rates.
Unless you want it to go off, make sure that radio alarm is off before you turn in for the night. The previous guest may have left an alarm set, leading to an unpleasant disruption to your sleep when it goes off.
How well you plan for a trip directly affects how enjoyable your trip will be. You will feel less anxious and have an easier time enjoying yourself once you arrive at your destination.

Thank you for visiting and welcome to my humble nook on the web! I'm a Canadian with an affection for words, food, music, and travel. I'm also a (self-proclaimed) chocolate connoisseur.
The travel bug is a chronic itch I feed on a daily basis. It began with family road trips across Canada and the US, and went viral after a 2-month European family odyssey. After university, I leapt across the pond to live in Ireland for a year I won't soon forget, despite many a pub night!
A few years later, work brought me to live on Jeju-do, South Korea. There, I began my first blog, la tour à l'étranger, to keep friends and family in the loop. Fast forward to now and this space has evolved to include adventures, teaching services, and travel consulting to help Canadians pay themselves to travel!
I'm so excited you're here. If you'd like to receive alerts for new blog posts, visit this link and subscribe.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Ala. – Rabies is a deadly disease with more than 5,000 cases of rabid animals spreading the disease to people nationally each year. To protect pets from this disease, owners should have their pets vaccinated. This will not only protect pets, but owners as well.
The mammals that potentially carry rabies can vary depending on geographic location.
"In Alabama, 55 animals tested positive for rabies in 2018, 51 were positive in 2017 and 77 were positive in 2016." Dr. Soren Rodning, a veterinarian with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System said.
The most common source of rabies in Alabama is raccoons. Other potential carriers of rabies are skunks, bats and even canines such as foxes.
"Most of these potential carriers are nocturnal and tend to be more active during night and early morning," Rodning said. "If you encounter these animals during day time, and their behavior is unusual, avoid them, call animal control and as a last resort euthanize them."
Signs and Prevention
"Rabid animals are sometimes more aggressive than normal, but they can also appear calm and less afraid of humans," Rodning, who is also an associate professor in the Auburn University Department of Animal Sciences said. "The safe thing to do is avoid contact with wild animals; even animals that appear to be more friendly than usual."
Rabies is nearly 100 percent preventable for pets that have the proper vaccines. Rabid animals spread the disease to people through exposures to saliva or nervous tissue from an infected animal.
"In most cases, preventing rabies is as simple as ensuring adequate animal vaccination and control," he said. "It's important to avoid contact with wild animals and educate people about steps that can help minimize the potential risks associated with exposure to rabies."
Leaving empty feeding and water bowls outside for a pet can attract stray animals. Garbage can also draw unwanted wildlife to your home and should be kept firmly concealed.
"Implement reasonable efforts to prevent contact between your pets or livestock and possible carriers of rabies," Rodning said. "For farmers, woven and electric wire can exclude coyotes and stray dogs from pastures with livestock. Not allowing raccoons, skunks and opossums to set up in your residency is another important consideration."
What to Do If Bitten
In the case of your pet biting someone or yourself being bitten, contact a physician immediately and report it to your county health department. Contact local animal control if the bite was from a stray or wild animal. Also, owners should take any pet bitten by a stray animal to a veterinarian immediately.
