On Thursday 14th December a working day took place between the partners of the EcoTour project. We gathered at the Centre for Information and Communication Technologies for Tourism Innovation (CDTIC Tourism Innovation), a plenary meeting was held with the participation of representatives of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC, in particular with the research groups of Integrative biology and biological resources -BIRB- and Technologies, management and environmental geochemistry -TGBA-), the Technological Institute of the Canary Islands (ITC-Agua), the network of work for the management Sustainable marine resources of the West African eco-region (AFRIMAR), the National Directorate of Environment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of Mauritania, the Regional Tourism Association of the Azores (ART), the Mauritanian Tourism Federation (FT) and the Regional Partnership for Marine and Coastal Conservation in West Africa (PRCM), in addition to participation in coordination by the Cabildo of Gran Canaria (and especially the biosphere Reserve) and the Marine Science Technology Centre (CETECIMA ).
This plenary meeting analyzed the state of execution of the project, validating the completed documents and revising the methodologies for the next tasks to be developed by each of the partner entities. The definition of the concept of ecotourism was one of the points to continue working, being necessary to determine the indicators that represent in the different fields (economic, social and environmental) and the limitations so that an activity is considered such. In the meantime, research work has begun in each of the study areas, with the preliminary results of what will form the "Basic Information": Analysis of the natural potential, historical and cultural value of the zones, map of uses and activities, list of companies operating in each area, etc. With this information, the next steps lead to the evaluation of the compatibility of the uses and the load capacity and acceptable limit of change for the case studies.

Future success requires planning and investment today. However, taking traditional business models through a transformation is rarely easy, and neither is making the decision where to invest. Failure to take this forward-looking approach will lead businesses to stall, as consumers' browsing and shopping habits continue to evolve. With this in mind, Drapers partnered with K3 Retail to produce this exclusive report, Future Trends and Innovation.
future trends
We delve into some of the topics shaping the future of fashion retail, from the potential for augmented and virtual reality to revolutionise the in-store and online experience, to the role of artificial intelligence in transforming the way retailers analyse, predict and serve customers. We look at the innovations from around the world to watch, from beacons, to invisible payments and what Chinese messaging platform WeChat could mean for UK fashion.
We also surveyed 65 senior executives at fashion retailers and brands to ask them 13 critical questions around where they are focusing their time, energy and resources, with some interesting findings.

Re-Interpreting the Failure of Foreign Exchange Market Efficiency Tests:Small Transaction Costs, Big Hysteresis Bands
Richard E. Baldwin
NBER Working Paper No. 3319
Small transaction costs and uncertainty imply that optimal cross-currency interest rate speculation is marked by a first-order hysteresis band. Consequently uncovered interest parity does not hold and market efficiency tests based on it are misspecified. Indeed measured prediction errors are a combination of true prediction errors and a wedge that consists of the "option value" of being in foreign currency and either plus or minus the transaction cost. Due to the nature of this wedge, we should expect measured prediction errors to be serially correlated, correlated with the current forward rate and perhaps have a non-zero mean, if the interest differential itself is serially correlated. The existence of the wedge helps account both for the failure of market efficiency tests and the difficulties in finding an empirically successful model of the risk premium.

Eyelids. There's not a more tricky topic when it comes to Asian beauty standards (except maybe skin color). So I was intrigued to find out that Seattle filmmaker Jade Justad, who is herself mixed-race Korean-white, is producing a short film called Creased, which focuses on a teenager's interest in Asian eyelid surgery to attain the folded lids so prized by many. I recently had a chance to chat with Jade.
HapaMama: Could you tell me a little bit about yourself, your ethnic and professional background and why you decided to embark upon this film about Asian double-eyelid surgery?
Jade Justad: I was a shy and serious child and theater was a great outlet for me. I loved it so much I decided to become an actress. I graduated from Boston University with a B.F.A. in Acting. After graduation I spent some time in New York attempting a career at acting for about a year before I realized that the business of being an actor (and an actress of color to boot) brought me a lot of anxiety and frustration. I wanted to be able to exert more control in my career, so I came home to Seattle and began writing and directing short films, music videos, web-series, etc. I found being behind the camera far more compatible with my personality. Now I strive to create a balance between my personal narrative films and directing and producing commercial video content.
When I was thirteen I went to a make-up counter with several friends that were white. The make-up artist at the counter did everyone's make up first and then she approached my face with some hesitation. She pondered a bit before making some suggestions to "open up" and "westernize" my eyes. I suddenly felt like there was something wrong with my eye shape and that moment has always stuck with me. My eye crease in both eyes has become more pronounced (as is fairly common, my creases were not the same size and my eyelid shape changed during puberty.) I find it interesting that I was happy/relieved that the creases became bigger.
One of the inspirations for this film is Julie Chen's story. On "The Talk" she revealed that she had the surgery early on in her news career because her bosses told her she needed it in order to appeal to a larger audience. She had the surgery and her career flourished. What I found just as interesting as her story were the reactions of her non-Asian co-anchors. When before and after pictures were shown, they largely praised her for how she looked in the after photo, saying she did look alert, etc. Their reaction is very troubling to me. Chen was receiving confirmation once again that she was right to change a very distinctly Asian feature in order to homogenize and gain entrance to mainstream media.
HM: When I first heard about your project, my immediate assumption was that it was a documentary film. But I see that is actually a scripted film featuring a Asian American high school girl who wants to get the eyelid surgery. Why did you choose this format to tell this story?
JJ: There are several reasons I chose to make this a scripted film. First of all, I am a narrative film director at heart so that is the format that I always gravitate towards. Second, I have seen some documentary projects on the subject so I thought a different medium would bring some fresh perspective. Three, there is always a presentational quality to documentaries for me (and I love documentaries!) and I'm looking for very intimate and selective moments. I chose to make the film about an 18 year old because that is a very challenging time in a young woman's life. She is on the cusp of adulthood and very aware of how she is presenting herself to the world. As I get older I care less and less about what people think of me, but when I was 18 my confidence was a house of cards. I think this is a great age to explore on film – the bravado and vulnerability of this time in a person's life is fascinating.
HM: As a mixed-race Asian woman, what particular perspectives do you bring to this issue?
JJ: I grew up in a mostly white community that was progressive, but nevertheless I felt very aware that there was something "different" about me. I would be hanging out with friends and I wouldn't be thinking about race at all, I would just feel like one of the girls until out of the blue someone would make an Asian joke or something to that effect and I was suddenly very very conscious of the fact that I was the only person of color in the room. And I would feel very alone. This is a story that I have heard from many many POCs that also live mostly outside of their ethnic strongholds. I think additionally as a mixed race woman I felt very caught in-between cultures and identities. I used to really identify with my white heritage and frankly I just wished I were white, especially because I was an actress. The lead character of CREASED is full Asian, but she also feels lost and wonders if she would be happier if she were white because she doesn't have many Asian faces in her life. I learned as a hapa I can't pick one race over another nor can I deny any part of myself. I think that's a journey that a lot of young mixed-race Americans have to go on. Now I have a lot of pride in my "Koreaness" :)
HM: What are the challenges in funding a project like this and what are your financial needs at this point?
JJ: There is no financial incentive to making a short film so it's hard to find investors. This is a film that I want to screen nationally at festivals, etc. because I think it touches on some issues that we, especially APIs, need to talk about openly.
I was lucky to receive a grant from 4Culture which is an organization that funds local artists. I also have found support from the Japanese American Citizen's League -Seattle. The costs of making even a short film are high especially if you want to achieve a professional level looking film. I have a team of professional crew that are donating their normally very expensive time, which helps a great deal, but there are still lots of hard costs. I am looking for funding right now to get the film through post-production (music, color grading and sound editing) and then for the release (festival feels, press materials, duplication, etc.) This is why I have turned to kickstarter for the first time and what I can say from what I've learned so far from crowd-funding is that every dollar counts. Every donation, no matter how small is deeply appreciated!
Want to donate to Creased? Visit Kickstarter to give $5 or more to make this film a reality…

Ginkgo Biloba Ineffective… Againby Jennifer Gibson, PharmD | January 29, 2010
Many parents have cried "How many times do I have to tell you?" at their young children when trying to get their attention or emphasize specific behaviors. Now, pharmacists and other medical practitioners are beginning to feel like these parents: "How many times do we have to tell you that Ginkgo biloba is not all it's cracked up to be?" Yet another study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that Gingko biloba is not effective in preventing cognitive decline in older adults, but people continue to take it in astounding numbers.
The study presents the results of the largest-scale clinical trial conducted with Ginkgo biloba, assessing more than 3000 adults aged 72 to 96 years. (The investigators have used the same population to investigate other aspects of Gingko treatment, with results published in several journals.) The current study focuses on the prevention of cognitive decline in older adults. The participants received a twice-daily dose of 120 mg of Ginkgo biloba or placebo. Over the 6-year follow-up period, the rate of decline of cognitive function, as assessed by standard cognitive and psychoneurological function exams, was calculated. Overall, there was no difference in the rate of cognitive decline between participants receiving Ginkgo biloba or placebo. These results did not change when modifying factors, such as age, sex, race, education, genetic variations, or baseline cognitive impairment, were considered.
This hardly seems like newsworthy information, given the plethora of studies that say the same thing. To date, there are no large-scale, definitive studies demonstrating that Ginkgo biloba has much of an effect on anything. Most studies that do report benefits of Ginkgo biloba therapy are not comprehensive and obtained limited data regarding cognitive function. The results lend themselves to statistical misinterpretation and inappropriate extrapolation of the data.
Still, Ginkgo biloba sales are in the hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide every year. It is commonly used in European medicine to improve memory and treat neuronal disorders and improve brain metabolism. In the United States, it enjoys widespread use as a botanical dietary supplement. The current study should leave consumers asking, "Why?" Once again, Ginkgo biloba is verifiably ineffective for preventing a decline in cognitive function. Plus, as with many unregulated over-the-counter supplements, Ginkgo biloba places patients at increased risk for possible side effects and drug interactions.
Growing old gracefully and successfully is of paramount importance with an ever-older population. It is natural to strive for maintaining, and even enhancing, cognitive reserves. But, there is no evidence that proves Ginkgo biloba will help to achieve those goals. Clinicians and patients are better served by identifying and treating known conditions that may reduce brain capacity and cognitive function, including vascular risk factors, diabetes, and sleep disorders, and promote activities and lifestyles that build cognitive reserve.
… And we don't want to have to tell you again!

It�s not easy negotiating life when the public prefers your stage persona over your true self. But it was particularly frustrating for Christa P�ffgen. Right up until her untimely death 30 years ago last month, people insisted on calling her Nico, the alluring, Dietrich-like chanteuse who briefly fronted The Velvet Underground. She hated the moniker almost as much as she detested being referred to as Lou Reed�s �femme fatale.� (Great song, by the way.)
It�s a defiant stance made clear at the onset of �Nico, 1988,� an offbeat, behind-the-music biopic chronicling the final two years of P�ffgen�s troubled relationships with fame, drugs and a young son who found more comfort in heroin than his long-absent mother. �Call me Christa,� she insists when her new manager addresses her as Nico. It�s 1986, and the 47-year-old is already in a snit after appearing on a Manchester radio show in which the host insisted on discussing her brief stint with the Velvet Underground instead of her long, steady career as a solo artist.
You don�t know whether to rail against her diva-like behavior or feel sorry for her plight. It�s a dichotomy that serves as a through line that Danish actress Trine Dyrholm navigates with surety in capturing the native Berliner�s unpredictable volatility. She may have survived World War II as a child, but that�s nothing compared to Christa�s battles against the demons perpetually gnawing away at her soul. She�s a mess inside and out, with her trademark blonde hair now dyed coal black and her once svelte body (she was both a model and actress) now paunchy and bruised from her twin indulgences of food and drugs.
Yet, as always, she�s a certified man magnet. Seemingly every male is infatuated with her, including her new manager, Richard (John Gordon Sinclair, years removed from the charming nerd from �Gregory�s Girl�), whose lame attempts to catch her notice are as pitiful as they are funny. In fact, for such a dour take on a dour woman, �Nico� contains a bounty of unexpected laughs, like telling the aforementioned disc jockey that she chose to live in Manchester because it reminded her of the bombed-out Berlin of her youth. You can practically hear the chamber of commerce cringing.
It�s the ennui that wins out, as Italian writer-director Susanna Nicchiarelli follows Christa�s steady downward spiral during an almost zany tour behind the soon-to-fall Iron Curtain, circumventing laws and the Gestapo-like police enforcing them. Despite the riskiness of their adventure, the drugs are rampant, and the members of her ragtag band, including Romanian violinist Sylvia (�4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days� star Anamaria Marinca), are often tripping mid performance or hooking up after. The life is every bit as chaotic as the life of their boss, Christa, who unwisely brings her recovering drug-addict son, Ari (Sandro Funtek), into this traveling band of decadents.
Her sudden need to be with Ari, the offspring she long ago relinquished to the parents of the boy�s father, French actor Alain Delon, suggests she sensed her end was near. But Nicchiarelli doesn�t do nearly enough with the estranged relationship. In fact, she doesn�t do much of anything, daringly avoiding any sort of plot or character development. Rather, her film plays very much like a documentary, compiling scenes that provide telling pieces of a puzzle that doesn�t become clear until coalescing in a powerful finale culminating with Christa telling Ari �goodbye� before heading out on her bicycle ride into the great beyond.
Nicchiarelli�s laissez faire style may alienate some, but I found her light-and-loose approach in keeping with a subject known for her frustrating unpredictability, both on and off stage. The Christa you got seemingly changed by the minute, and Nicchiarelli captures that serendipitous mood spectacularly. Then there�s that glorious music, all sung in character by Dyrholm. She may not be quite as intoxicating as the real Nico, but she�s not far off, with the highlights being her moving renditions of the Velvet Underground classic, �All Tomorrow�s Parties,� and �These Days,� the mournful ballad written for Nico by former lover and band member, Jackson Browne.
Those songs haunt you, both in the way they are sung and how they reflect the sorrow and regret of a fading star who laments, �I have been on the top, I have been on the bottom, and both places are empty.� It�s a perfect epitaph for a performer who never allowed herself the level of joy she brought to her fans. She�s gone now, but the unmistakable sound of that sultry voice wrapped around a mysterious aura will always be with us. And that�s truly a gift.
�Nico, 1988�
Cast includes Trine Dyrholm, John Gordon Sinclair, Sandro Funtek, Anamaria Marinca and Karina Fernandez.

Movie review: Nico, 1988' follows final year of a troubled singer
It�s not easy negotiating life when the public prefers your stage persona over your true self. But it was particularly frustrating for Christa P�ffgen. Right up until her untimely death 30 years ago last month, people insisted on calling her Nico, the alluring, Dietrich-like chanteuse who briefly fronted The Velvet Underground. She hated the moniker almost as much as she detested being referred to as Lou Reed�s �femme fatale.� (Great song, by the way.)

Carmelo is no longer a priority for La La Anthony. After being in a relationship with the athlete for a long time, La La is discovering the taste of single life, and she loves it.
The Power actress filed for divorce in the spring of this year after rumors claimed that Carmelo had an affair with another woman who allegedly had his baby.
It had appeared that it was over for real, but over the summer the mother of one told Wendy Williams that she was willing to take her husband back if he made the right moves.
All had appeared to be heading in the right direction with the news that the New York Knicks traded Carmelo to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
A source close to the NBA star said: "He is hoping that he and La La can use it as a fresh start."
The chatty person went on to reveal: "The past year has just been full of stress and heartbreak, and Carmelo wants to get his marriage back on track more than anything. He believes that a change of scenery, a new home, a different team and a fresh set of friends could be the perfect remedy, and a way to draw a line under their issues once and for all."
The father of one has big plans for his family. However, all of sudden, La La is not too sure about the move.
She is happy in New York and wants to stay there with her friends and family. Additionally, she is not in a rush to remove her son from his school and childhood friends.
The insider explained: "La La is not committing to moving with Carmelo right now though. Her friends and work life are New York-based, and her career is flourishing. Plus, she still hasn't fully forgiven him—Carmelo is going to have to jump through some more hoops before La La agrees to up sticks and relocate to Oklahoma."
Meanwhile, it is being reported that friends like Ciara, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian are urging her to repair her marriage via therapy.

"But body counts aren't the point in a genocide, a crime for which, at the time of my visit to Rwanda, nobody on earth had ever been brought to trial, much less convicted. What distinguishes genocide from murder, and even from acts of political murder that claim as many lives, is intent.
The crime is wanting to make a people extinct. The ideas is a crime. No wonder its difficult to picture. To do so you must accept the principle of the exterminator, and see not people, but a people."
-Phiip Gourevitch, We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families
I was mopping the floor. The place was eerily quiet and my body or mind was filling the quiet with agony. The exhaustion from not sleeping, my own depression, and the thoughts that kept swirling around and around again, all mixed into a sort of pain cocktail, and the cocktail was me.
I had had another shift, earlier that day, at the home of an elderly lady. She was declining, had declined steadily in the past month, after a visit to the hospital. A number of the other workers had come for one shift, seen how she was, and then asked not to be put with her again. It wasn't that she was unpleasant. She was, you could tell, a sweet lady. It's just that everything had to be done for her. She could not stand for more than a few moments, was completely incontinent, could not comprehend a lot of what was happening.
She had to be changed several times a night and would beg you to covered her back up while you changed her- pulling her quilt weakly over herself and the urine and diarrhea you were trying to clean off her. No matter what you said.
In the morning she would look up with bright eyes.
"Are we going on a trip to town?" she would ask, excited and innocent as a child. "Are we going for a ride in the car?"
No, not today. Maybe another day.
I was on a night shift, now, in a Memory Care Unit at a nursing home. I had been assigned a list of incontinence checks to do every few hours, and some cleaning to do between times.
I have never been so close to walking out on work in my life.
But I was mopping instead of running away. The mop scraped over the tiles under the quiet of electric lights.
Out of nowhere, a memory of my sister broke through the haze.
"I don't think I'm going to like it. " She had been talking about a soon to be released movie. "I read a review… they made it so that Noah's daughter got pregnant, and he tried to make her have an abortion on the ark… only the animals were supposed to survive…" She objected to the idea of Noah as an eco terrorist. And to abortion.
I stood in the middle of the tables and fake flowers and chairs, leaning on my mop.
So- all the other pregnant women outside the ark- drowning- with their unborn children. who were presumably innocent of any of the wrongdoing of their evil parents?
An abortion on the ark bothered her, but not the Flood?
Someone explain to me again how we are possibly to understand this God as even vaguely moral?
There is the story of the Sons of God fucking humans. These Angels are nowhere said to be fallen angels, and God presumably knew the whole time and didn't bother to intervene. You could say that he let it all happen in order to let free will play out or whatever, and then was so disappointed in the choice humans made, that he just HAD to PUNISH them.
Except, he's God. And these were Angels. The power imbalance is. Well. Infinite.
The closest analogy I can think of is if the principle of a school wandered around watching the invulnerable immortal teachers publicly fucking their students for a thousand years- then announced one morning that all the students had to be lined up on the play ground and shot for violating the school's standards.
But you could argue that, I guess.
It still doesn't explain the flood. Consider the death of the firstborn in Egypt. A whole other can of worms, there, but, God sent out the Destroyer to kill a select group out of an entire population. He obviously has the capability of killing only certain people. And yet he uses a flood. By definition- a flood kills everyone, regardless of innocence or guilt. And the children, of whatever species or blend of species, were innocent.
You could argue that it was about the baby human-angel hybrids. God just HAD to kill everyone because… racial purity… and stuff…?
God is a cosmic Adolf Hitler.
I suppose it makes sense. He's massacred at least as many Jews as Hitler did, at this point.
But I fail to see then, if the Flood was racially/biologically motivated, how we can say say anything about righteousness or guilt. And that is the whole justification of the Flood, isn't it?
Humans were wicked. They hurt God's feelings with how wicked they were. So he had to kill them.
Genesis 6:5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, "I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them."
Except, do you know how well the Flood solved that problem? Of the wickedness of the human heart?
Romans 3:10 As it is written:
"There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one."[b]
13 "Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit."[c]
"The poison of vipers is on their lips."[d]
14 "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."[e]
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know."[f]
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."[g]
- Romans 3:12 Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Eccles. 7:20
- Romans 3:13 Psalm 5:9
- Romans 3:13 Psalm 140:3
- Romans 3:14 Psalm 10:7 (see Septuagint)
- Romans 3:17 Isaiah 59:7,8
- Romans 3:18 Psalm 36:1
It didn't. At all. So- there literally was no point to the flood as far as 'fixing human wickedness' was concerned. There was no point to the Flood as far as justice was concerned, because it destroyed the innocent (the children) as well as the guilty.
Which leaves the racial purity argument. The angel babies possibly had a longer life span than normal humans- and 'They were the heroes of old, men of renown.'
God essentially didn't want to be humans to be any stronger than they are now.
Let me rephrase that. A being who is willing to commit genocide (the genesis flood)- or to force humans, on pain of death, to commit genocide (Israel's conquest of Canaan)- or mind control humans into disobeying him and then killing their children as punishment for disobeying him (the death of the firstborn of Egypt)-
Didn't want humans to be any stronger than they are now.
He wouldn't, would he?
Sometimes I think that the most incurably wicked thing we have ever done is worship Him.
On my final round of incontinence checks, just before dawn, I stuck my head into one of the rooms. I blinked a little bit- to see if I could clear up the double image I was seeing. Then I realized I wasn't hallucinating after all. One of the old men had wandered into the room while I was away. The old lady, who's room it was, was asleep, under all her blankets, and the old man had lain down on top of the blankets, next to her. He was snuggled up against her, asleep.
I went over to wake him up.
"Who's there?" the old lady asked, under her blankets. "Is that a man? Get out!! Get out!"
"I think you're in the wrong room" I told him.
"Oh! Oh!" he said. He stood up. He started wandering around the room, looking for the door. When I got him out to the hallway he started off in the wrong direction, checking the doors for his room number.
I walked him back to his room.
Sometimes I think our need to- to not be alone- the need to be connected with someone- is a lot stronger than our grasp of reality.
We see, on a total stranger, the face of someone who loves us. And we love him back.

40.7 kms: Porthmeor Cove-Zenner-St Ives-Carbis Bay
Fluid was the theme of the night: the less viscous type falling on me from the sky, the more accumulating inside my sinus passages until I thought my head might explode. The funny thing about camping wild is how much I cannot wait for the night to end—and those of you who know me well, know that is not my usual wish about the act of lying down and sleeping. Packed up in the rain and donned the wet-weather gear (sort of useless—everything is sopping wet anyway) and made my way to a hotel that June had told me about with the thoughts of steaming coffee on my mind. The path had been closed by a landslide and so I had to deviate to the road. The road was at the top of a very large hill and the path to get there was not really that well marked. I ended up in a paddock full of curled-lipped horses (That always makes them look like they think you appear tasty), and electric fences—you know that old adage about electricity and water? Ouch. I was very glad to see the road and the hotel in my very near future. I de-geared at the door but was soon told that service was only for guests. I must have had my wet, sad face on because the man then asked me what it was I wanted. I stated (just speaking the desperate parts) 'coffee'. He figured that was do-able. But coffee progressed into a plate of eggs and bacon and toast and a big glass of juice. A roaring fire, a ghost story about rooms three and six, and encouragement to keep using the public footpaths came as well. And all I got charged for was the coffee. Just so you know, and unless you arrive looking like I did and get the same sympathetic ear, the experience may be a bit different, but if you are ever in the area, please stop for anything and great service at Gunards Head Hotel. Book room three or six—I dare you! Twenty-eight million stone stiles later the sun came out and I topped the hill over St Ives. The sun brought the hay fever back (bad use of a wish). My feet had reached a new level of sore: possibly from the harder road surfaces, possibly from the wet socks. I bought pills and found (at the top of another enormous hill) a B&B that I eagerly paid whatever-it-cost to have a bed and a place to dry things and somewhere to lift my feet away from the earth. I refuse to leave, ever again.

24.1 kms: St Just-Kenidjack Castle-Pendeen Watch-Watch Croft-Porthmeor Cove
Every bit of water I drank today was manufactured by my body into the end-product snot. I have never experienced hayfever like this before. I was miserable. I wondered at the silliness of the whole thing. There was no where to stop for drugs. I also discovered the blotchey ouchness of stinging plants. What a sight I must be. Regardless of that I did manage to be social. I accidently stumbled into someone's yard. 'The sign must be down again', said Mr Landowner. They made me tea and let me use their facilities and fill my water bottles. I have written in my diary that Mrs Landowner's name was June and that she didn't use articles. I stated that I no longer used them either. Isn't it curious, the things we write, and how they can mean little to nothing on later readings. The articles I can conjure up all still seem to be being used—I used one just then; I'm also wearing a pair currently. I am not sure what I meant. I pulled into a field in the early evening, feeling, still, miserable, and aching all over. I was going to just watch the sun go down in about three hours times and then go to sleep. Then I realised I could get a whole lot closer to civilization if I gave up that sort of useless thinking. The walk after that was lovely, even though quite upward. I ended up walking along cliffs and having a lovely evening. I still slept field-wise, sharing my space with sheep, but miles from anyone and behind a little wall so quite safe feeling.

12.5 kms: Land's End-Sennen Cove-Cape Cornwall-St Just
I'm using a trusty string technique for measuring how far I have gone. I note where I go on the map, measure it with a piece of string and then compare the string measurement to the map scale—highly technical. There was a lot to get used to for a first day: sore knees, ankles and feet; sunburn; backpack shaped bruises on my shoulders; scrambly paths in spots; hard to work out signs that resulted in wrong turns that I persisted with until cliff-tops told me that I was truly off track, and which resulted in torn pants. After a mammothly average twelve and a half kilometers I went into a town and stayed in a building. Camping out was not an option.
You may have seen from the blurby bit on the side, over there on the left, yep, that bit, that I have decided that I needed to have a costume based alliterating theme to my blog and that this part of it involved ballgowns. I made a costume based on ninety-three percent of all episodes of So You Think You Can Dance: a corset with a fluffy, tutu style skirt hanging off the back. I had a back-up purple prom dress rolled up in my pack, but this was my darling. I could wear it over my trousers or shorts and it wasn't overly ostentacious. (Okay, it was a little.) By my first stop though I was ready to rip it off. It had boning. Boning and a backpack don't really see eye to eye. I found a sharp stone, and , necessity and mothers and all that, managed to cut the boning out. Much better: although I have got my shirt over it now as there is way to much boobage for a casual stroll through Ol' Blighty.
The shower I had was the best ever. The sleep was the same. Turns out I have to do the whole thing again tomorrow.
Good night to St Just, good night to you.

Why Net Neutrality Is a Working-Class Issue - Working In These TimesYou might have noticed your browsing experience was interrupted by a call-to-action on Wednesday, July 12. Amazon, Netflix, Etsy, OKCupid and hundreds of other sites covered their loading pages with banners and images asking you to save the internet. Millions of us joined together to protest the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), heeding the call from grassroots activists across all corners of the web.
Led by President Donald Trump appointee Ajit Pai, the FCC is working to roll back rules that ensure the free and open flow of information on the internet. The body is attempting to undo the partial classification of the internet as a utility (meaning something every person has the right to have), and to massively expand the rights of Big Cable to lie about speeds and other services in order to make huge profits. These efforts pose a threat to net neutrality, the principle at the foundation of the internet that internet service providers treat all traffic equally. Net neutrality supports the open and free flow of informationwithout discrimination and without favoring content or services.
Make no mistake: Net neutrality is one of the defining workers rights and civil rights issue of our time. We all know the internet is driving changes in culture, politics and the economy. It is also one of the key spaces where workers can organizeand where mass movements for racial and economic justice blossom and build power.

Minecraft Ps vita is a means of living your personalised adventures and gathering your own unique experiences. It takes up just a tiny bit of your hard drive space but is a phenomenon too big to cover entirely in a review
Pokemon X Y
"At its heart, Pokemon X Y PS vita has always been the story of one child travelling the world making friends with animals, and then heartlessly enslaving them in electronic balls and forcing them to attack other animals. Wow, that escalated quickly. In all fairness though, I'm not even mad. When I first played Pokemon White on the original DS, I thought to myself, Solidreviewer; how could this get any better? It turns out that by going full 3D, it could do exactly

information :
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F ps vita is an infectious rhythm game that manages to smash language barriers. With a varied soundtrack, earnest presentation, and a ton of extra content, this is one of the best dollar for dollar purchases of the year, and something a real fan of the genre should pick up immediately. Let's hope that Sega doesn't decide to make this game's release a one time affair.

A word of advice to any foolish mortal about Deception IV Blood Ties ps vita to set foot inside the house of the Devil: Watch out. It's a trap.

It goes without saying that the LEGO look fits the bill for the franchise as it targets the younger portion of the Harry Potter fanbase. Sadly, the gameplay also feels juvenile
Retro City Rampage
information :
Retro City Rampage works as an always funny parody of Grand Theft Auto and classic games. But it's much more than that. There's some devilishly clever content here, including a solid action game with consistently humorous writing. Not every joke lands, but the experience is so dense with ridiculous fun that it's impossible to imagine somebody not having a good time with Retro City Rampage!

Preschool Class Craft: Part 1
Preschool Class Craft: Part 2
Last night I was able to complete the planter boxes (mostly) on either side of the bench.
Now, there were a few minor mishaps that happened. I broke two drill bits. Sorry hunny! I plan on replacing them. The other thing I discovered? See the photo below.
Once that small problem is fixed, the construction of the planter boxes will be DONE! All I have left in regards to construction is the bench. Then a whole bunch of other steps, but I don't want to give away everything yet. There is still the part about how the kids are coming into play on this whole process.
Stay tuned!!!
BTW...showing this off over at Sawdust and Paper Scraps.

A debate started up in our hallway over the last few days, and while I am aware that this is water under the bridge, I am curious - am I the only person that likes answering questions while installing an OS?
Before I came to Sun, I was a system administrator. I administered systems running AIX, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, SunOS, WinNT, Win95, and Win3.1. When installing the OS or any software, I always choose "custom install" or "advanced install". I like having that choice, as the software invariably makes the wrong choices for me. At the very least, I like being able to validate the choices the software has made before they are committed to disk. I am impressed when the software can correctly figure most things out, if it can, but no software, in my opinion, can possibly predict the correct answers for all installations.
There is a lot of lore here in Sun that system administrators and developers don't like all the questions we used to ask during installation of Solaris, which is why this has changed so drastically for OpenSolaris. My experience, though, is limited only to my own and those administrators I worked with at Intel and Amoco (BP, now), so I'm curious - what do you think? Do you abhor questions during install time of software? Or would you rather have the option to review the choices it made for you? Or make the choices yourself?

Two of the three screws in the new bulb housing were too short and couldn't attach to the tv. I had to remove two of the screws from my burned out bulb and swap those with the two that came with the new bulb. Then all was OK and light works fine. Except for this, all was good and if I still have this TV when this new bulb burns out, I will buy it again from this company. FYI, my TV is ten years old and this is the third bulb I have replaced.

NETFLIX has come under fire after admitting it restricts video quality for customers of selected mobile networks. But has it really done anything wrong?
The streaming service claimed for more than five years it has been capping video streams over at 600 kilobits per second for mobile networks across the globe, including Australia.
Speaking withThe Wall Street Journal, Netflix said it had throttled videos to "protect consumers from exceeding mobile data caps".
Despite being advocates for net neutrality — the principle that all data on the internet should be treated the same — Netflix also admitted it didn't limit its video quality for US carriers T-Mobile and Sprint Corp.
It's reasoning was that "historically those two companies have had more consumer-friendly policies".
More specifically, T-Mobile and Netflix have a partnership offering unlimited streaming service, while Sprint limits internet speeds after a user breaches their data cap.
If this practice was to be carried out in Australia, Optus mobile customers would receive a much higher quality video stream compared to those using Vodafone or Telstra due to Netflix's partnership with the Aussie telco.
Disgusted with the practice, Republican member of the Federal Communications Commission Michael O'Rielly called for Netflix to be investigated during his speech at the American Action Forum.
"Netflix has attempted to paint a picture of altruism whereby it virtuously sought to save these consumers from bumping up against or exceeding their data caps," Mr O'Rielly said, reportedArs Technica.
"There is no way to sugar-coat it: the news is deeply disturbing and justly generates calls for government — and maybe even Congressional — investigation."
Mr O'Rielly admitted the streaming giant did not violate the net neutrality rule against throttling as those rules apply to internet service providers and mobile carriers.
However, he suggests Netflix could be in violation of FCC rules for not declaring it had been restricting video quality when it put support behind net neutrality rules.
"It appears that Netflix made accusations of wrongdoing by ISPs, all the while knowing that its own practices were one of the causes of consumer video downgrading," he said.
Netflix were quick to deny Mr O'Rielly's accusations, declaring it had not made false statements when supporting net neutrality.
"We have zero incentive to deliver a less than optimal experience to Netflix members," a spokesman toldArs Technica.
"We capped our bit rate to protect consumers from unexpected over-age charges due to restrictive data caps on mobile networks."
Telecom analyst Doug Brake agrees, actively throwing his support behind Netflix.
"These are Netflix's video streams, and it should be able to manage its data however it thinks will best please its customers," he wrote on a blog.
He argued telcos should even be able to follow suit.
"If Netflix is free to manage its traffic to better serve consumers, internet Service Providers (ISPs), who are in an even better position to understand the traffic patterns and dynamics at play within the network itself, should be able to do the same," he said.
"Same customers, same practice, same good outcome, but as it stands today, only one is unlawful."
To further its declaration it had only been acting with its customers best interests in mind, Netflix told The Wall Street Journal it was exploring "new ways to give members more control in choosing video quality."
At Mobile World Congress in February, Netflix said it was working to give users the option to stream in HD or switch to a data saving mode — which will play content in a lower bit-rate.
The updated feature is expected to rollout globally later this year.
Do you think Netflix was protecting customers from chewing too much data?

They were menacing enough before, but how would you feel if you knew sharks were employing advanced mathematical concepts in their hunt for the kill? Well, this is the case, according to new research, which has tracked the movement of these marine predators along with a number of other species as they foraged for prey in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The results showed that these animals hunt for food by alternating between Brownian motion and Lévy flights, depending on the scarcity of prey.
Lévy flight is a special class of movement characterized by many small steps punctuated by longer relocations. As the patterns show little invariance over a range of different scales, the processes associated with these movements are closely linked with fractal geometry. For instance, it has been suggested that the colourful squiggles that characterize the work of Jackson Pollock, the celebrated abstract painter, were created as his brush took a number of Lévy flights.
For the past decade, several biologists have been claiming that certain animals may also be using Lévy flights to maximize their chances of encountering prey when there is not much choice on offer. The suggestion is that they revert to this from the more random, Brownian, motion that they follow when prey is available in abundance. This hypothesis, however, has never been tested on wild animals, and it is difficult to separate the movement of animals into its different phases, which also include resting and migration.
Over 12 million movements
In new research, David Sims at the Marine Biological Association Laboratory in Plymouth, UK, working with colleagues in Europe and the US, has carried out the first large-scale survey to track the movement of foraging marine predators. Sims' team attached electronic tags to animals from 14 different species including silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares). 55 individuals were tracked over 12 million movements in the north-east Atlantic and the eastern and northern Pacific.
By analysing the results as a time series, the researchers were able to break down the results into sections that showed more consistent behaviour than the whole. They found that found that the sharks, tuna, billfish and ocean sunfish showed movement patterns well approximated by a Lévy walk, but that they also showed Brownian-type motion. Closer analysis revealed that individuals were switching between Lévy and Brownian movements, consistent with the idea that predators adjust their movement depending on the abundance of prey.
"We used the most reliable and robust statistical analyses on the largest data set yet analysed in this way," Sims told physicsworld.com.
Managing stocks more effectively
"The results show that to a certain degree the movements of animals are predictable in relation to habitat types they encounter. In the case of fish, we think this will help parameterize a new wave of spatially structured population models that will help us to manage stocks more effectively in the face of overfishing and climate change, for example," says Sims.
But despite the scale of the research, not all researchers are convinced that the research provides a particularly complete picture of marine foraging. "In this study predators are considered as fully stupid, unable to process environmental information and to act accordingly," says Simon Benhamou, a marine ecologist at the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology in France. Benhamou feels that future studies should take a more integrated approach including neuroscience, ethology and behavioural ecology.
Sims and his team intend to develop their research by tracking the foraging paths of other marine species, lower down the food chain, including octopuses and marine snails.
This research is published in Nature.

(English) YOU DON'T NEED A THERAPIST, YOU NEED TO TRAVEL
18s komentara
I know I need to travel to stay happy. And that's not even abroad. I love my little town but sometimes my mind and my eyes and my soul need to look at something different. I need to be somewhere else.
Such a great post. I agree that traveling teaches you how to live and gives such a new perspective!
I kind of agree with you. And it is difficult to believe that there are many people who think travelling is too much work and too much money, and they would rather do something else. Well everyone has difficult times in life, and it is important to look at things from a different angle. You never know, your problems might not seem so big anymore. I think that travelling provides you with exactly this opportunity – to look at things from a different dimension.
I love this! Travel is such therapy for me. But, honestly, the last trip I came home from I truly suffered a little mini depression when I came back because I looked forward to it for so long and I was all over.
Boom!! I sold and got rid of 53 yrs of my life and bought a one way ticket to Guatemala. That was almost 2 yrs ago and I haven't looked back. I'm in still in Guatemala but travel around this area lots 🙂
I love this post. I wish i can travel to a different country atleast 2x a year.
This is definitely a great idea for at least some people. If you have the means, the time and no responsibilities I say go for it. But it might not be possible for all of us. Travel does cost money, time and you can't just leave everything behind. If that was the case I would be off to Egypt tomorrow but for now I have to wait. Travel is a great opportunity to unwind and get out of our head for sure. I know I want to travel and experience more but at the moment life is getting in the way 😜
This is sage advice. I know for a fact that my depression and anxiety were linked to me not doing what I wanted, but instead doing what others expected of me. My anxiety has lessened since I realized my dream to travel and started doing what I want to do. I also appreciate the luxuries back home a lot more.
I totally agree! Especially in America where depression is prevalent. We need to eat out of our heads and routine sometimes, it's good for you!
This is a great post! I agree that traveling is a form of an anti-depressant, a way to put our problems into perspective and is a way to meet new people. However, it is important to note that some people really do need therapy. They cannot just brush their illness under the rug and travel. Thanks for sharing this post!
Traveling is always a part of my de stressing 🙂
I wish I had more time to travel. It gives you a new lease on life.
I couldn't agree more!! Travel can take away all your sorrows 😉 (okay… almost all of them ;))
Very great post. I should personally agree that traveling makes you to learn how to live and move ahead and we will always feel better and get to know of fresh feelings and thoughts. It gives us new lessons in life too. Wish to travel a lot , lets see in future | regards from https://questso.blogspot.com
Totally agree! Travel in itself is therapy. A lot of times people think traveling means you MUST go abroad. In my opinion traveling is getting out of your natural habitat. SO even if you just visit another city, I think getting out of your regular everyday environment does so much for you mentally.
Traveling is my favorite form or therapy

A 28-year-old tribal woman was gang-raped in Dehaband area in West Bengal's South Dinajpur district, according to several media reports on Tuesday.
According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the woman was assaulted and raped multiple times and iron rods were thrust into her genitals. The report added that the victim is currently in critical condition.
According to News18, the victim was operated at Raigunj Super Speciality Hospital near the location of the crime, but was shifted to Malda Medical College and Hospital after her condition further deteriorated. The report added that the victim had gone to a local fair in Kushmandi on Sunday, where she was dragged away and gang-raped under a bridge.
The New Indian Express reported that the victim lay unconscious at the crime scene for over 12 hours and was spotted by locals on Monday morning, who then informed the Kushmandi police.
The police have made two arrests in relation to the incident. Ramprabesh Sharma and one of his associates, who hail from the same village as the victim, have been arrested, additional deputy general of police (law and order) Anuj Sharma said, according to the report.
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to visit Malda district on Tuesday and Raigunj on Wednesday as part of her district tour. Opposition parties condemned the state government over the incident.
"The chief minister issues numerous statements every day, but she has no time to send a strong message against those committing crimes against women. The safety and security of women is clearly not her priority. In fact, goons are having a free run in her regime," BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha told Hindustan Times.
According to News18, CPM leader and Raigunj MP Mohammed Salim said, "It's even more gruesome than the Nirbhaya incident. In the Nirbhaya case, the victim was alone and targetted inside a moving bus. But this happened right in the middle of the village. People from all walks of life who value human life and freedom must protest against such perversion."
West Bengal Women's Commission chairperson Sunanda Mukherjee demanded "exemplary punishment" for the guilty. "It is a shocking incident. The accused should be punished," she added, according to the Mumbai Mirror report. The NCW stated that it has taken suo motu cognisance of the incident and said that it is writing to the concerned authorities, according to the report.

Coggeshall Abbey, Abbot Ralph and early bricks
|When the monks built their
complex the church took pride of place. It was always very simple, very
large and built in the shape of a cross and was without exception
dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The interior would have been very austere
and unpretentious.
As well as the church they had quadrangular cloisters enclosed by
various buildings: the Chapter House, Refectory, the Library and the Dormitory. Adjoining them were the Frater
house (great parlour) and the Hospitium or Guest house. A little
separate from these were the Infirmary and Abbot's lodgings. At the head of
affairs was the Abbot. The list of Abbots is incomplete but Ralph is the one
that is most well-known.
was the sixth, and most eminent, Abbot of Coggeshall's Cistercian abbey.
His incumbency lasted for 11 years and 2 months between the years 1207 and
1218 and he succeeded Abbot Thomas. An Englishman by birth he was,
unusually so for the agriculturally biased Cistercian order, a man of
considerable learning and knowledge with a high degree of erudition in
literature. He was at one time canon of Barnwell near Cambridge. It
is his Chronicle of the Holy Land and later his Chronicle of English
Affairs which sets him apart from other abbots. His recorded accounts of
both render him important both nationally and locally. He was already a
celebrated member of the order due to his exploits in the Holy Land where
he was present at the fall of Jerusalem to the Saracens under Saladin in
1187. It was here that he suffered a head wound during the siege from
which he was to suffer severely in later life. He had travelled with the
Crusaders in 1185 "amongst other pious men, who were needed to comfort the
weak, instruct the ignorant and animate the brave in the battle of the
|Back to Local Heroes
The Dissolution of the monasteries began in 1535. They were the strongholds of the Pope and therefore perceived to be the enemy of the King (Henry VIII). Whereas once the abbeys were the oases of learning and peaceful sanctuary, they had by now become the abodes of ignorance and corruption. Because of their accumulated wealth they could not command the reverence their former piety had guaranteed, making them easy prey to political necessity. The Reports of the Commissioners showed them to be full of vice and corruption, so in 1535 all those abbeys whose annual revenues did not exceed £200 were suppressed. Three years later the same fate befell the larger abbeys, of which Coggeshall was one, and before the year 1538 was ended, almost 400 years exactly since its conception, this abbey was no more. The abbey church was destroyed and the stones carted away, the Abbots house and other parts were incorporated into a Tudor mansion and the gatehouse chapel became a barn.

Spinal device company GS Medical USA, LLC, tells us that its AnyPlus® T/PLIF Cage has received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance. The new system expands the Company's successful AnyPlus® platform of cages and will now see its U.S. launch. At the same time, GSM announced FDA clearance for design modifications to its existing AnyPlus® ALIF, TLIF, and PLIF interbody portfolio.
GS Medical USA, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of South Korea-based GS Medical Co., Ltd. It is the largest and most established South Korean spinal implant manufacturer and distributor and claims to be positioned to grow exponentially within the global spine market.
The company says its AnyPlus® next generation T/PLIF cage offers several unique features, including simple and intuitive instrumentation, tapered distal edge, superior anatomical design that facilitates ease of insertion, multiple footprints, aggressive tooth pattern, and large graft fenestrations allowing for a higher volume of bone graft to achieve favorable union outcomes.
GS Medical USA says it currently has AnyPlus® T/PLIF and ALIF sets available for limited release until full launch in June.
Company comments
Joseph Jin, GS Medical's Executive Vice President-Americas, said, "We are pleased with this clearance as it marks the first of four additional system clearances expected in 2014. Strengthening the core thoracolumbar business in the US is one of our key initiatives. With this recent clearance, we have one of the most extensive thoracolumbar portfolios on the market. We believe our AnyPlus® ALIF system is a strong testament to the fact that GSM may be the only manufacturer offering this implant in heights from 10-20mm, in 1mm increments, four different footprints, with just as many lordotic options, and a bi-concave design."
"We are extremely optimistic about achieving our bottom line results as our regulatory and commercialization pathways look very promising for fiscal 2014," said Mr. Jin. "We are very excited about launching new product segments, such as cervical, in Q3 and Q4, and remain hopeful for another FDA clearance before the end of Q2," added Mr. Jin. "GS Medical is poised for growth under new leadership, and we are honored to be afforded the opportunity to unveil the new GS Medical USA portfolio to our distributor partners and surgeon end-users."
