The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (or often Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument) is a World Heritage listed, U.S. National Monument encompassing 140,000 square miles (360,000 km2) (an area larger than the country of Greece) of ocean waters, including ten islands and atolls of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, internationally recognized for both its cultural and natural values as follows:
"The area has deep cosmological and traditional significance for living Native Hawaiian culture, as an ancestral environment, as an embodiment of the Hawaiian concept of kinship between people and the natural world, and as the place where it is believed that life originates and to where the spirits return after death. On two of the islands, Nihoa and Makumanamana, there are archaeological remains relating to pre-European settlement and use. Much of the monument is made up of pelagic and deepwater habitats, with notable features such as seamounts and submerged banks, extensive coral reefs and lagoons. It is one of the largest marine protected areas (MPAs) in the world."[1]

Much of the monument is made up of pelagic and deepwater habitats, with notable features such as seamounts and submerged banks, extensive coral reefs and lagoons. It is one of the largest marine protected areas (MPAs) in the world."[1]
The area was proclaimed the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument by U.S. President George W. Bush on June 15, 2006; it was renamed Papahānaumokuākea in 2007, and inscribed on the World Heritage list as Papahānaumokuākea on 30 July 2010, at the 34th Session of the World Heritage Committee, Brasilia.[2]
The area is managed in partnership with the Department of Commerce, the Department of the Interior, and the State of Hawaii. The name for the area was inspired by the names of the Hawaiian creator goddess Papahānaumoku and her husband Wakea.
Although it is not a sanctuary, the ocean area is part of a system of 13 National Marine Sanctuaries administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, with an area of 254,418.1 acres (397.53 sq mi; 1,029.6 km2)[3] in the monument, is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
The monument supports 7,000 species, one quarter of which are endemic. Prominent species include the threatened Green Sea Turtle and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal, the Laysan and Nihoa Finches, the Nihoa Millerbird, Laysan Duck, seabirds such as the Laysan Albatross, numerous species of plants including Pritchardia palms, and many species of arthropods. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, populations of lobster have not recovered from extensive harvesting in the 1980s and 1990s, which is now banned;[4] the remaining fisheries are overfished.[5]
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) reports that many species populations have not yet fully recovered from a large-scale shift in the oceanographic ecosystem regime that affected the North Pacific during the late 1980s and early 1990s.[6] This shift reduced populations of some important species such as spiny lobster, seabirds and Hawaiian monk seals; the proclamation calls for a commercial fishing phase-out by 2011. The monument will receive strict conservation protection, with exceptions for traditional Native Hawaiian uses and limited tourism.[4]
As the 96th National Monument of the United States, it preserves much of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) under the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).[7]
The monument covers roughly 140,000 square miles (363,000 km2) of reefs, atolls and shallow and deep sea (out to 50 miles (80 km) offshore) in the Pacific Ocean – larger than all of America's National Parks combined.[8] It contains approximately 10 percent of the tropical shallow water coral reef habitat (i.e., 0 to 100 fathoms) in U.S. territory.[9] It is slightly larger than Australia's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, approximately the size of the country of Germany, and just slightly smaller than Montana.
About 132,000 square miles (340,000 km2) of the monument were already part of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, which was designated in 2000. The monument also includes the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (590,991.50 acres (2,391.7 km2))[3] and Battle of Midway National Memorial, the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary at
Kure Atoll, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine Refuge, and the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. NOAA is responsible for most oceanic areas of the new monument; the FWS continues to manage the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge.[10] An emergency landing strip on Midway Atoll for trans-Pacific flights remains open.
The islands included in the monument are all part of the State of Hawaii, except Midway Atoll, which is part of The United States Minor Outlying Islands insular area.
The genesis of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) as a protected area began on February 3, 1909, when U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt created the Hawaiian Islands Reservation through Executive Order 1019, as a response to the over-harvesting of seabirds, and in recognition of the importance of the NWHI as seabird nesting sites.[11] Its status was later upgraded to the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge in 1940 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. A series of incremental protections for the NWHI followed, leading to the establishment of Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge in 1988, Kure Atoll State Wildlife Sanctuary in 1993, and the NWHI Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve in 2000.[12][13]
In April 2006, President Bush and his wife viewed a screening of the documentary film Voyage to Kure at the White House along with its director, Jean-Michel Cousteau (son of documentary film maker Jacques-Yves Cousteau). Compelled by the film's portrayal of the flora and fauna of the region, Bush moved quickly to protect the area.[15][16][17]
On June 15, 2006, President
After the signing of the proclamation, Joshua Reichert[20] explained the importance of the timely designation in an interview on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer:
Monument status is quicker; it's more comprehensive; and it's more permanent. Only an act of Congress can undo a monument designation. The sanctuary process, it takes longer; it involves more congressional input, more public debate, more hearings and meetings. And he [George W. Bush] obviously made a decision today to, actually, take a bold step and create something which is going to be immediate, that the law applies immediately to this place now.[21]
The NWHI accounted for approximately half of the locally landed bottomfish in Hawaii,[22] and these fish are highly valued by local chefs and consumers. The NWHI bottomfish fishery is a limited entry fishery, with eight active vessels, which are restricted to 60 feet (18 m) in length.[23][dated info][See Talk page on: Bottom fishery / fishing permits] Frank McCoy, chair of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council, said:
We are pleased the President recognizes the near pristine condition of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands waters. We believe the abundance and biodiversity of the area attests to the successful management of the NWHI fisheries by the Council the past 30 years and indicates that properly regulated fisheries can operate in the NWHI without impacting the ecosystem. The small NWHI bottomfish fishery has not and would not jeopardize the protection of the NWHI that President Bush is pursuing by designating the area a national monument.[24]
The National Marine Fisheries Service has published reports attesting to the health of the NWHI bottomfish stocks.[25][26] Commercial bottomfish and pelagic fishing as well as recreational catch-and-keep and catch-and-release fishing were also deemed compatible to the goals and objectives of the proposed NWHI National Marine Sanctuary.[27]
On February 27, 2007, President Bush amended Proclamation 8031, giving the monument the Native Hawaiian name, "Papahānaumokuākea".[28] On March 1, first lady Laura Bush visited Midway Atoll, and on March 2, a renaming ceremony was held at Washington Place in Honolulu, Hawaii.[29][30] At the ceremony, Laura Bush and Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced the new Hawaiian name and helped raise public awareness about the monument.[31] On May 15, 2007, President Bush announced his intention to submit the monument for Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) status, which would "alert mariners to exercise caution in the ecologically important, sensitive, and hazardous area they are entering."[32] In October 2007, the Marine Environmental Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization adopted the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument as a PSSA.[33]
The designation of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument as a particularly sensitive sea area (PSSA) received committed support from the US delegation to the International Martitime Organization.
Particular note is made of the contribution of Ms. Lindy S Johnson, author of "Coastal State Regulation of International Shipping." Ms. Johnson worked passionately for the PSSA designation for the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument as well as for other land- and sea-based
sources of marine pollution, environment and navigation, marine protected areas, ship strikes of right whales, noise and marine mammals as well as protecting coral.
On January 30, 2008, the U.S. Department of Interior added Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument to a tentative list of 14 proposed sites for consideration on the UNESCO World Heritage List.[34] The Federal Interagency Panel for World Heritage officially accepted the recommendation in November 2008. As a mixed site with natural and cultural resources, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) commented on the natural features of the monument, and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) assessed its cultural aspects.
The national monument was inscribed on the World Heritage List in July 2010 as simply "Papahānaumokuākea".[35]
Federal researchers continue to study the monument's marine resources. A 2010 expedition reached the Kure atoll and its divers reached 250 feet (76 m) revealing new species of coral and other animals. The Waikiki aquarium is attempting to culture the new corals and present them in an 2011 exhibit dedicated to the monument.[36]

|Illustration - Under Hypnosis (http://commons.wikimedia.org)
Self-hypnosis is a form of hypnotherapy, but you act as both the hypnotist and hypnotee.
Is it really possible to do that?
Of course, it is. James Braid (who coined the word "hypnotism") once hypnotized himself to get rid of his rheumatic pain. Since then, he had been free of rheumatism.
In one of Igor Ledochowski's workshops, there was even an attendee who said he had a tooth extraction, and he did not use any anesthetic to prevent bleeding. He only used self-hypnosis.
How can you be in trance while simultaneously giving suggestions to yourself?
This is generally the dilemma.
When you go to a hypnotherapist, it's easier because you just hand over everything to the hypnotist. You just trust him and let him "mess with your mind".
In self-hypnosis, you may record your voice, but then your conscious mind still interferes.
They key to overcome this problem is to exercise and practice often. Do not expect that after a few self-hypnosis sessions your problem will be gone. This is because the power of self-hypnosis lies in the frequent repetition.
There are various self-hypnosis techniques you can apply, and here is one simple but powerful example you can immediately practice:
Betty Erickson was the wife of Dr. Milton Erickson, a psychiatrist who specialized in hypnosis and family therapy. Here's how to do the Betty Erickson self-hypnosis technique, a.k.a the 3-2-1 technique:
First, you need to sit in a comfortable chair and relax with your feet flat on the floor. Then, look for a spot above your eye level upon which to rest your eyes. Focus loosely and take in the whole room.
After that, do this 3-2-1 technique:
1. Notice 3 things you see
- "I can see the tv set over there"
- "I can see the sunlight"
- "I can see …"
2. Notice 3 things you hear
- "I can hear the sound of nature"
- "I can hear … "
- "I can hear … "
- "I can feel the warmth of the room "
- "I can feel … "
- "I can feel … "
After that, you do the same thing, but you only need to notice 2 things you see, hear, and feel. They can be the same things, it's no problem at all.
1. Notice 2 things you see
2. Notice 2 things you hear
3. Notice 2 things you feel
Then, just notice 1 thing you see, hear, and feel.
1. Notice 1 thing you see
2. Notice 1 thing you hear
3. Notice 1 thing you feel
If you've done the set, do it again with your eyes closed ("I can see darkness", etc). When you're in trance, you can give yourself suggestions. You can do this until you're ready to come out of hypnosis.
If you want an example on how to do this, you can download this mp3:
What you'll hear in this recording may be slightly different from what's explained in this article, but it doesn't matter. Just do what works best for you.
Magnetic Hands Self-Hypnosis Technique
|Illustration - Hypnotist Jeffrey Stephens Using Magnetic Hands Induction
1. Position your hands 1 to 4 inches apart.
2. Rub your hands and feel the temperature building up.
3. Have your hands relaxed and bring them apart again
4. Notice the sensations - tingling, buzzing, etc
5. Imagine that there is a magnetic force between your hands
6. Feel the magnetic force, and let your hands closer together
7. When they move a few inches, you can close your eyes in trance
8. Continue with your affirmation and visualization
For other techniques and to learn how to hypnotize yourself from the master, I recommend you check out Igor Ledochowski's Power of Self-Hypnosis home study course.

Types of questions on the OLSAT test
So, when kids first see the different types of questions on the OLSAT test, they think they're weird and they don't understand them right away. As a parent, you want your child to experience their confusion in seeing these questions for the first time when they're at home with you, and you can help them (contrary to what "they" tell you!). Not when they're all alone at school under the pressure of taking an actual test without you there to support them. Especially, if you have a younger child ages 3 to 5 years old who has never (ever!) taken an actual test and has no idea of the different between a right and wrong answer. No matter if you live:
- Brooklyn,
- Staten Island
- Manhattan
- Bronx
- Queens
it's imperative you prepare your child for the upcoming NYC gifted and talented test. The OLSAT test is no joke and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Even if your child it taking the OLSAT test next year there's really no time to waste. Whether your child's test is in three days or three months, working with practice questions and online prep games for the OLSAT can make all the difference. These are just a few examples of the types of questions that are on the gifted test. Naturally, the questions get harder as children go up in grade levels. If your pre-K to sixth grader is taking the OLSAT and you'd like to learn more about the types of questions on this test. You can try a few practice questions for the OLSAT test here!

The lawmakers passed a bill for parents to be better informed of the NYC Gifted and Talented Program for the Bronx, specially in district 10. As more and more kids take the test citywide (including the Bronx) that means more and more kids are receiving a qualifying score to entry into this competitive program across all five boroughs in the city. The Bronx and Staten Island are the only two boroughs that currently do not have a citywide program and have a short supply of district wide programs for both. This new plan from lawmakers requires that all parents of pre-K students receive multiple notifications of the NYC Gifted and Talented Program . Many parents complain (rightfully so) of how hard it is to get information from the DOE web site that honestly needs a complete overhaul and better usability.
Many advocates of better communication are pushing that all pre-K students take the G&T test and the parents will need to opt-out of taking the test. This of course would dramatically increase the raw number of kids taking this test, especially in lower income areas of the Bronx. The hopes would be more qualifying students since most parents would not opt-out of their child taking the test. We'll see if this proposal moves forward since this would not only impact the Bronx but all other boroughs for children in the universal pre-K program in NYC. The implications of have even more kids taking the test leads to the larger issue of where are all the kids going to get a seat in the G&T program that's already in short supply.
Right now, there are only two district wide programs in district 10:

Does NYC G&T program mean specialized high school entry?
The great debate continues! According to an article Chalk Beat getting your 4-year-old placed in a gifted program in kindergarten may lead the way for their future high school admissions into one of the NYC specialized high schools.
These schools include:
- The Bronx High School of Science
- Brooklyn Latin School
- Brooklyn Technical High School
- Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts
- High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College
- High School of American Studies at Lehman College
- Queens High School for the Sciences at York College
- Staten Island Technical High School
- Stuyvesant High School
The gifted and talented program that spans all 5 boroughs for grades kindergarten through 5th grade only make up 30% of black or Hispanic students. Although, the overall student population for these two groups is 70%. This disparity is even more drastic as students enter into high school and take the SSHAT test for one of the specialized high schools. These schools only compromise 10% of black and Hispanic students.
Is the NYC G&T Program a "gateway drug" to the specialized high schools? It seems that out of 357 students who did attend citywide gifted middle schools from 2011 to 2015 that 1/3 of those were admitted to specialized high schools. When looking at the demographic information of those 357, 40% where of Asian or white and 14% were Hispanic or black students. Even high achieving students who are black or Hispanic are less likely to get a seat at a specialized high school. Granted, this is a non-scientific analysis and there could be other contributing factors in play. The takeaway is the breakdown seems to happen middle school. With 530 middle schools in the city 60% of 7th graders who went to a specialized school were from only 45 middle schools. Most of these 45 were specialized middle schools (code word for gifted and talented programs).

Our Gaming Editors outline some helpful hints for breaking into the gaming and e-sports industries, gathered from the careers fair at EGX
EGX 2016 wasn't just about getting the chance to see and play some the industry's biggest games before their regular release, but rather thanks to its careers fair, it also provided a valuable insight into the steps requires to get your foot in the door of the gaming industry. So without further ado, here are some of the top tips:
1. Don't worry too much about your degree or field.
Gaming companies are more than just the developers or people that work on the game itself. If you're passionate about gaming but lack the technical skills required to make the games you can always apply to handle business management, sales, community management, marketing etc. Gaming companies are so much larger than the people just making the games so don't get dejected.
2. Customise your CV.
This may seem like a generic job hunting tip but there's a good reason for that. Games companies love when you're genuinely enthusiastic about their games and want to contribute to a meaningful way to their development. An applicant who talks at length about their love of FPS' in their application is unlikely to impress them a company who specialises in strategy games. Know the company you're applying to, who they are, how they started to give your interest a genuine edge.
3. Network, Network, Network.
Do everything you can to get involved in your area of interest. If you love RPG games and want to develop them full-time then find others who share the same passion you do and learn from each other. Make active use of social media including networks such as LinkedIn or Gamedev Map to find others both involved in and looking to enter the games industry.
4. Play them, enjoy them, Love them!
It should go without saying but it's incredibly important when perusing a career in gaming or E-sports that you show a comprehensive knowledge of the genre and its major players. Do everything you can to follow the industry and its development, begin to create a portfolio to showcase this if you can.
5. Learn from your mistakes.
Again this can seem like generic advice but it's vitally important to remember. If you decide to create your own game and it turns out terribly, it's not a problem. Learn from your mistakes and adjust your process until you receive better results, games companies are much more likely to be interested in you when you can show you've taken an active interest and made efforts to improve your own abilities.
6. Don't get dejected.
With gaming and E-sports never failing to increase in popularity everyone interested in pursuing these paths will no doubt face a lot of competition. Should you be rejected by a gaming company remember that no doesn't mean no forever, keep trying and with enough passion and effort you should end up where you want to go. Focus on you and how you can improve your chance of being accepted.
7. Don't be afraid to do something else.
The gaming industry can be entered from so many different paths beyond that off just applying straight to a company directly as soon as possible. Should you end up being repeatedly turned down, look for prospects with common themes or transferable skills and you should find greater success with these added skills and experience.
8. Be humble.
Should you receive a response or even an interview with a gaming company make sure to leave the best impression. Telling a developer who's been working in games for a long time how their methods are wrong or outdated or providing any sort of uncreative criticism is unlikely to earn you the position. Be sure to be passionate and offer you own prospective on how the brand could improve and what would can bring to it to help it do so. This a common pitfall among graduates remember, no matter how much experience you have or how much you know after studying you can always learn more.
9. Be proactive.
You have probably gathered this already but this is incredibly important to successfully landing a job in gaming. Developers receive countless CVs, so take a look at the criteria outlined in the job description and provide a covering letter outlining how you meet these criteria, set yourself apart from the crowd.
With gaming becoming increasingly popular and more competitive the E-sports industry is growing alongside it. In fact as of this year E-sports actually has more dedicated followers than the NFL, proving the maturing industry to be sustainable and hinting at even greater success to come. E-sports is also an industry accessible from many different means and our tops tips are useful for finding a career within E-sports. Consider pursuing your passion for gaming through exploring its professional aspects and becoming a part of this exciting new industry!

Historic Harrisburg Website Redesign
I just recently launched a redesigned website for the Historic Harrisburg Association, a non-profit organization in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The redesign and launch solved many issues. The most important issue the website redesign solved was the fact that the previous content management system was not maintained and eventually lost functionality which brought the website down. The new Historic Harrisburg Association website is built on the WordPress content management system with the following features:
- Event postings (with the ability for content managers to add, edit, and delete events)
- Donations via PayPal
- Event ticket purchasing with tiered pricing and quantities
- Membership purchasing and renewal
- Responsive theme that reacts to device browser dimensions
In addition to redesigning the website, I am also maintaining the website by monitoring the content management system and plugins for updates and security issues along with managing cloud-based backups.
If you have a similar project, contact me and let's work together!

The strawberry is a delicious and well sought after perennial fruit. Every year 94 percent of Americans buy and consume the red berry. In the US. 80% of all strawberries consumed come from California.
The strawberry is in the family of the rose and has over 200 seeds on the outside of the fruit. It is the only fruit to ripen in the spring and contains only 4 calories. There is a museum in Belgium that is just for the strawberry.
I took the kids in early May to the Wild Things Farm, and we picked our own berries. We learned a lot that day about the strawberry and where our food comes from. If you have a you pick fruit CSA in your area, we highly recommend you take kids to one, they will love it.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Well, May 2011 actually – Disney's Hollywood Studios opened the ultimate Star Wars attraction, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue.
There's versions in Paris and Tokyo, but unless you're willing to either freeze (Paris) or travel 12 and a half hours (Tokyo) for the experience, I'd suggest hitting the Sunshine State, Florida and hopping aboard the Starspeeder 1000.
You'll get to experience alien worlds (virtual reality, unfortunately) like Tatooine and Naboo while coming face to face Yoda and Darth Vader.
For a limited time in November 16, 2015 – which is just over a month before the film is released (December 18, 2015) – The Force Awakens will be added to the attraction.
Talking of the film, I'm assuming you've seen the trailer (below)?
Not quite convinced by the new lightsaber, but who am I to dispute the weaponry of a Sith.

Ommen, Holland | 5th Public Talk 12th August, 1938
To be satisfied, the mind develops its own technique of resistance and non-resistance, which is the will. And when the mind discovers that in the process of satisfaction there is suffering, then it begins to develop desirelessness, detachment. Thus there is the positive and the negative will ever exerting, ever seeking satisfaction. The desire to be satisfied creates will, which maintains itself by its own continual effort. And where will is, there must always follow fear - fear of not being satisfied of not achieving, of not becoming. Will and fear always go together. And again to overcome this fear, effort is made, and in this vicious circle of uncertainty the mind is caught. Will and fear go always hand in hand, and will maintains its continuity from satisfaction to satisfaction, through memory which gives to consciousness its continuity, as the "I".

Last week I had my first cross stitch finish of 2018! My goal for this year is to at least have one finish a month, and like I said this is the first one of the year *yay*
In this part of the world we are in summer and it's really HOT, so this was a perfect little project to work on during this hot summer evenings. The design is a freebie by The Snowflower Diaries and you can download it from her blog. I'm still not sure how I want to finish it, but I'm sure I will find some inspiration soon °Ü°
Design: Summer by The Snowflower Diaries
Stitched on 32ct Antique Cotton Linen (R&R Reproduction) with DMC threads
Stitch count: 70w x 77h
Started: 01. January. 2018
Finished: 27. January. 2018
After finishing Summer, I decided to make a small birthday gift for Fernando (he's turning 40 this year). I wanted the design to feature a cactus so I went searching on Etsy and found a super cute SAL by Fuzzy Fox Designs called Prickly but Cute. The SAL started on August of last year and so far 7 small cacti have been released. For Fernando's gift I chose to stitch Miguel and Chloe, and here is my start on Miguel....isn't he adorable ♥-♥ !!!!
Also last week, I crocheted a little bit and finish a unicorn rattle. The design is from Yulia Mozhaiska. It was a quick and fun little project.
Pattern: Sleepy Unicorn Rattle by Yulia Mozhaiska
Yarn: 100% Cotton
Hook: 2.5mm
Started: 22. January. 2018
Finished: 26. January. 2018
Until next week! Happy crafting!!!

Happy Christmas! What a gift!
A few years ago (and before I started this blog) I remember majoring on how the most precious gift we receive at Christmas is Jesus himself, and how we need to enjoy "unwrapping" that gift.
This year I find myself reflecting similarly that it is awesome that God's response to a fallen world riven with rejection, misunderstanding, and alienation, is to give himself – through his son Jesus. He gives himself unconditionally, not requiring a partiuclar response but giving us a choice. Will we receive this gift? Will we accept him?
So in a world where people want to be known, loved and accepted, God does not encourage us to seek acceptance, but to be one who accepts.

A Mardi Gras Vocabulary Lesson
One of my first posts for this blog was a list of terms that only New Orleanians know. Well, it turns out that there's a whole other collection of words out there for Mardi Gras. For this installment of "Haley's First Mardi Gras," here are the words and phrases I've discovered so far that all Mardi Gras revelers need to know so they can enjoy – and understand – all that is Mardi Gras.
Carnival vs. Mardi Gras
I often get Carnival and Mardi Gras confused. Technically, the term Carnival refers to the season around Mardi Gras. The term Mardi Gras just refers to one day (also known as Fat Tuesday), which is coming up on Tuesday, Feb. 12. According to MardiGrasNewOrleans.com, a helpful website for visitors coming into town for Mardi Gras, "Mardi Gras, or 'Fat Tuesday,' is the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent."
However, I have noticed that people use the terms Carnival and Mardi Gras interchangeably. It seems to me that the locals know the difference between Carnival and Mardi Gras, but they can still use Mardi Gras when referring to the whole season and get away with it. However, you have more street cred in New Orleans if you know the difference between the two.
King Cake
This is definitely one of my favorite things about Carnival: lots and lots of King Cake. It seems like there is one in our office everyday. Yesterday we had a Nutella King Cake. Delicious!!!!
But a King Cake comes with rules. There is a little toy baby somewhere in the cake and whoever bites into the piece that has the baby must purchase the next King Cake. So what might seem like a prize is actually something that tells you to go buy a cake for your office. It's still a fun and tasty tradition, though. And who doesn't love a reason to buy cake?
Krewes are the groups that put the parades together. Kevin J. Bozant's Quaint Essential New Orleans defines it as "a private Carnival organization that puts on a parade and/or a ball in New Orleans."
I want to figure out how to get in one of these. Stay tuned.
Super Krewe
A really, really big krewe.These are the krewes that bring in celebrities. Krewe of Endymion is bringing Kelly Clarkson this year!
Sidewalk side vs. neutral ground side
These two terms make it easier for float riders to explain to their friends how people can see them. I interviewed Jennifer Lotz of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau for a story for New Orleans Magazine (pick up the February issue!) and she said a rider could describe where they are on a particular float by saying something like "float 5, 6th rider, neutral ground side."
These are what are tossed from the parade floats. When I first moved here, I thought krewes only threw beads, but I have since learned that Krewe of Zulu throws coconuts and Krewe of Muses throws shoes. Free shoes following into my hands? That's pretty much what I expect heaven to be like. I think I'm going to like Mardi Gras.
I know this list is short, but I'm still a Carnival beginner. I know there are more terms, so let me know if you think I've missed anything.

Redefining powered wheelchair technology in every way, the new JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo from Quickie is unlike anything else.
The JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo sets the bar for Mid-Wheel Powered Wheelchairs. Experience excellent manoeuvrability, comfort and performance as well as some of the latest powerchair technology.
An advanced biomechanical seating system, Spider Trac 2.0 suspension and being able to control other devices around your home wirelessly are just some of the incredible new technological features implemented in the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo.
Advanced control
A R-Net advanced joystick is installed to your JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo as standard, this allows you to control devices and appliances in your home from your fingertips whilst sitting in comfort. With easy to use controls and a HD display the joystick connects via iDrive, infrared or Bluetooth to a whole range of devices such as; Phones, Computers, Tablets, Entertainment systems and more.
You can change the functions of the joystick easily with Quickie assignable buttons meaning you can personalise your R-Net advanced joystick to you and the devices you use most. You will never have to worry about where a remote is again as it's all conveniently placed literally in the palm of your hand.
The 5-switch box gives you five different functions to switch between easily using the buttons and paddles on the controller, with the option of adding another five functions built in – that's ten functions to switch between and control from the comfort of your JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo.
Biomechanical seating system
You must try the incredible biomechanical seating system on the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo it's one of the most comfortable and adjustable seats in todays market. Ergonomically designed to mirror the body's natural positions it really helps to maintain good posture and support. The biometric repositioning feature means that however you move your body will be naturally positioned to the seat at all times. This is incredibly useful as it means you always have contact with the chair so using footplate, headrest or chin controls is never lost.
It also means a reduced risk of sliding during de-recline, as the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo transitions from a reclined position to a seating position it passes through an intermediary tilt position, this is especially beneficial if you have difficulty re-positioning yourself.
Make your JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo fit you, with six completely customisable seating options that can be programmed to any position. Featuring a powerful 175-degree power reclining backrest allows you to fully lie down as well as the previously mentioned anti-shear biometric repositioning feature the headrest and optional chin control will stay in place as you recline. The seating system on the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo is truly unique and will provide you with some of the best comfort and adjustability from any powerchair available today.
Mid-wheel drive powerchairs are taken to the next level when you take a look at the performance and handling of the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo. Being able to raise up to 30cm whilst travelling at speeds of up to 3mph and being able to turn on a dime with the small mid-wheel drive base means manoeuvring tight spaces is a breeze.
Featuring the latest SpiderTracTM 2.0 Suspension technology means driving over uneven terrain indoors or out is a breeze. This suspension system not only gives one of the smoothest rides indoors or out it also means the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo to descend kerbs as high as 10cm with no hassle. As well as this the SpiderTracTM 2.0 Suspension technology completely eliminates unwanted forward pitching, perfect for driving down kerbs or steps!
Customise and Style
Additionally, there is a sports suspension option available offering a stiffer, more responsive sportier ride. As well as an optional gyro tracking system which can automatically detect small deviations from your path and corrects them, meaning your drive is a lot less demanding and much safer each time.
The JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo looks great from any angle – with tailored upholstery, sharp lines and stylish minimalistic design you will look and feel amazing on every drive. A choice of 6 attractive colour inlays will contrast with the sleek black bodywork really demonstrating just how high quality the JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo really is. Everyone's style changes with time and if this is the case for you then just swap out the colour inlays easily, giving your JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo a fresh new look.
The JIVE M² Sedeo Ergo has been approved for transportation in a vehicle after being transit in accordance with ISO 7176-19 tested meaning taking your powerchair away with you is easy.

As many of you may already know, I earned Stampin' Up!'s annual Incentive Trip this year. The Incentive Trip is earned on a combination of sales and team building and there were 25 demonstrators on the trip this year.
I thought you might like to have a bit of a look at where we went and what we did.
Day 1
When we arrived we went to visit the "hospitality suite" which was on the top floor of the Reef View Hotel. The room was a gathering place to meet with the other demonstrators and Stampin Up staff. Each day we could spin the wheel and win a little prize. The room was also stocked with jars upon jars of American Candies for us to eat! (I brought a few home for my lovely team members to share at our meeting!)
Here's me with Kim Gavarra (another Brisbane demonstrator) and her husband Warren. You can see Warren filling up one of the bags that had out for us to put our "candy" in!
Here's me getting a sneak peak of the next Summer mini catalogue that will be available from December 1st. Sorry, I can't show you what's inside - top secret!! But trust me, there is heaps of great new stuff in there - my wishlist is HUGE!!!
We had a Welcome Dinner that night (and of course I forgot to take the camera along!) and when we got back to our room this gift was waiting. Its a wet seal bag containing underwater cameras, snacks and instructions for the next day's group adventure - a trip out to go snorkeling on the reef!
Day 2.
Here's Kim and me waiting at the Marina for our trip to the reef. Gotta love the big hat! LOL! I didn't end up wearing much out at the reef pontoon as it was a bit too windy. The windy weather made for rough seas and most of the boat was throwing up! I was nauseous but managed to keep it all down. :-) They sold a lot of Sea Sick tablets before the return journey!
Once out at the Reefworld Pontoon we snorkelled and sat up on the sundeck. Matt and I spent a bit of time chatting with Shelli and Sterling. (Shelli is the CEO and co-founder) and found them to be very lovely people - very friendly and down to earth. They weren't keen on the snorkelling but Matt and I gave it a go and I'd like to do it again sometime.
We went out for dinner at one of the local restaurants near the hotel with Liz, Martin, Kim and Warren.
After dinner Kim and I went up to Liz's room to help her stick her swaps together. Goodness knows how long she'd have had to stay up for if we didn't help! LOL! It took ages! Here's me and Kim being worked like slaves! LOL!
When we FINALLY got back to our rooms, here's what we found: A lovely tin with all the supplies we'd need for the next days make and takes. Can't show you inside as it contains a new stamp set from the upcoming Summer Mini!
Goodness me, this is taking me forever to post. I am going to publish this much, take a break for lunch and come back to finish the rest this afternoon. :-)

|Patch 1.5/1.6
|Wednesday, 18 November 2009 14:37
As we announced a few days ago, yesterday a new patch was released and now you can update your game to version 1.5/1.6. More than a patch, actually, it's an upgrade of the game, as all the new World Adventures' interactions, but all the adventures-related items and functions, are inserted in the base game.
You can find the complete list of changes on the official website, right here.
This decision has been made in order to give players the freedom to share their files. Even those who don't have World Adventures, for example, can download the recolor of a staircase or build a basement.
Unfortunately, however, due to this special event, this update is buggy. The most common error players - amongst which the undersign - experienced is the impossibility to save the game: if you click on Save, in fact, the game loads and loads and then the Error 16 - Cannot Save pop up window appears.
Many players have tried to search for a remedy and they reached the same solution suggested by the EA team in the following statement..
We have been made aware of an issue you may encounter while trying to save your game after installing The Sims 3 World Adventures or updating your game. The Sims 3 World Adventures and the Game Update have changed the way your save files are created, which can lead to an error during your gameplay when you save your game.
If you encounter an error that says "Error Code 16″ please use 'Save As' to save your game instead. This will allow you to create a new save file and circumvent this error.
If you are beginning an entirely new game or starting in a new neighborhood, you will NOT encounter this issue. We are working to address this and will update you as soon as possible.
Thanks,SimGuru BGY 11
Now, the undersign has however tried to play with an entire new family, and actually I didn't get the error 16 when I saved the first time. When I saved a second time, instead, I did had the error 16.
In short, if you're planning to download this patch, please make a back-up copy of your game data.
Last but not least, as this patch updates the game with the new EP's functions, if you're planning to buy World Adventures soon, you should not install the patch at all. We're sure the team will release a further patch soon, in order to solve these issues...

Point Richmond
A neighborhood outcropping of the city of Richmond, the charming waterfront hamlet of Point Richmond is minutes from every convenience while remaining a world all its own.
The people of Point Richmond have fought hard to stay true to the charm of what was originally a mini-village tucked between coastal farmland and the bay shore, and it has worked!
Residents of this friendly, pedestrian-oriented urban village are within easy reach of independently owned shops, galleries, grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, a public library, a community playhouse, and the newly restored "Richmond Plunge."
Since 1978, the Point Richmond Historic District has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As the oldest neighborhood in Richmond, Point Richmond proudly displays historic Victorian homes, many lovingly restored to their original grandeur. A large number of homes that make up Point Richmond real estate enjoy stunning daytime and evening Bay views. Many residents are also sailors with boats at the local marina and yacht club.
Point Richmond has excellent access to public transportation, including a nearby BART station and bus, train and ferry service into San Francisco and surrounding communities. San Francisco is 35 minutes by freeway and the city of Oakland is a 20-minute drive. It also sits at the eastern footing of the San Rafael Bridge, making the shopping, dining and recreational opportunities of Marin County just a few minutes away.
This is a place where you can stroll along the water, enjoy the cool bay breezes and enjoy breathtaking sunsets without ever having to leave the enchantment of this bayside village.

Importance Injection drug use is the primary mode of transmission for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Prior studies suggest opioid agonist therapy may reduce the incidence of HCV infection among injection drug users; however, little is known about the effects of this therapy in younger users.
Objective To evaluate whether opioid agonist therapy was associated with a lower incidence of HCV infection in a cohort of young adult injection drug users.
Design, Setting, and Participants Observational cohort study conducted from January 3, 2000, through August 21, 2013, with quarterly interviews and blood sampling. We recruited young adult (younger than 30 years) injection drug users who were negative for anti-HCV antibody and/or HCV RNA.
Exposures Substance use treatment within the past 3 months, including non–opioid agonist forms of treatment, opioid agonist (methadone hydrochloride or buprenorphine hydrochloride) detoxification or maintenance therapy, or no treatment.
Main Outcomes and Measures Incident HCV infection documented with a new positive result for HCV RNA and/or HCV antibodies. Cumulative incidence rates (95% CI) of HCV infection were calculated assuming a Poisson distribution. Cox proportional hazards regression models were fit adjusting for age, sex, race, years of injection drug use, homelessness, and incarceration.
Results Baseline characteristics of the sample (n = 552) included median age of 23 (interquartile range, 20-26) years; 31.9% female; 73.1% white; 39.7% who did not graduate from high school; and 69.2% who were homeless. During the observation period of 680 person-years, 171 incident cases of HCV infection occurred (incidence rate, 25.1 [95% CI, 21.6-29.2] per 100 person-years). The rate ratio was significantly lower for participants who reported recent maintenance opioid agonist therapy (0.31 [95% CI, 0.14-0.65]; P = .001) but not for those who reported recent non–opioid agonist forms of treatment (0.63 [95% CI, 0.37-1.08]; P = .09) or opioid agonist detoxification (1.45 [95% CI, 0.80-2.69]; P = .23). After adjustment for other covariates, maintenance opioid agonist therapy was associated with lower relative hazards for acquiring HCV infection over time (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.39 [95% CI, 0.18-0.87]; P = .02).
Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort of young adult injection drug users, recent maintenance opioid agonist therapy was associated with a lower incidence of HCV infection. Maintenance treatment with methadone or buprenorphine for opioid use disorders may be an important strategy to prevent the spread of HCV infection among young injection drug users.

I wondered if anyone would notice. That I was mostly not here over the weekend, I mean. One of you wrote to see if I was all right. (I was.) Another checking if I was taking it easy. (And I was. Sort of.)
For health and sanity reasons I've decided to write slightly less frequently on here. Maybe five days a week instead of all seven. A Bookwitch might not technically belong to a union, but in my heart I feel I do, and that I am allowed time off.
Once the Edinburgh International Book Festival was over, I thought I'd experiment with weekends off, unless something momentous happens to be on outside Mondays to Fridays. But perhaps it's too boring to have the same most recent blog post for three mornings – or whenever it is you call round? What do you think?
I could make it one day off at the weekend and one midweek? Or I could be irregular and inconsistent. Yeah, that sounds more like me.
Whatever it turns out to be, I hope I will be having a rest and not be dead. Earlier today sister Culture celebrated her tenth birthday by taking part in a car park rage, which luckily didn't have her run over by the irate Danish driver who preferred the way out, for coming in.
I've obviously since cursed him. (He argued back at me.)
I might be on holiday this week – by which I mean that I am – but I won't abandon you. Books will be read and bookish stuff will appear on here.

Prior test estimation helps managers and test teams become well aware of possible situations and commit time and resources accordingly. While experience is the ultimate help in making test estimations, smart professionals in the team able to think out of box can foresee and figure out impact of each factor on the test development process. It reduces unnecessary QA/testing budget and ensures controlled testing assuring impartial test results.

"You know, I started crying," Roy Johnson, a College alumnus, said to a friend over his cellphone Tuesday night, minutes before Sen. Barack Obama's victory speech.
He added that tomorrow, he'll be purchasing every copy of every newspaper he can get his hands on to commemorate this historic election.
Johnson's sentiment was echoed by many throughout the College campus as news spread of Obama's victory.
Lynette Barnes Jr., junior psychology major, said Obama's victory conveyed a message of hope to the nation.
"Yes, we can change the world," Barnes said. "We almost threw stuff through the windows, but people would think we were Republicans," she laughed.
Barnes had to raise her voice over the numerous shouts of joy that echoed throughout the Brower Student Center. She aimed her camera at the TV screen hanging above the Information Desk, documenting every second of the ground-breaking occasion.
Outside the Student Center, students shouted for Obama from the sidewalks between Packer and Eickhoff Halls.
Meanwhile, the College Democrats hosted a victory party in the Travers/Wolfe main lounge, where approximately 100 people had gathered. Prior to Obama's appearance on the massive TV screen erected in the lounge, Jarell Daniely, senior mechanical engineering major, burst in and let out an exuberant cheer.
The crowd reciprocated, and chants of "Obama, Obama," began to reverberate throughout the room. Silence fell over the hot, crowded room as Obama began to deliver his speech.
Their enthusiasm wasn't shared by all members of the College community, however. Mike Peters, secretary of the College Republicans, said he had concerns with an Obama presidency.
"Obviously, we're disappointed," he said in a telephone interview while returning from N.J. Senator Leonard Lance's victory party. Lance was elected to U.S. Congress in District 7.
"Of course, we are going to respect Obama as our president," Peters said. "I hope he can bring the country forward."
Peters said Republicans will have to double their efforts, having lost both control of the White House and Congress. His primary concerns were with Obama's economic and diplomatic policies.
"He's easily the most inexperienced president we've ever elected," Peters said. "I think the country did a very dangerous thing today."
Mitchell Berman, freshman math major, disagreed.
"I think it's time for a change," Berman said at the victory party in the T/W lounge. However, Berman projected that Obama will not be a president without fault.
"I always respected McCain," he said, citing his record of military service and experience in government.
Regardless, Berman said he was optimistic about Obama's effectiveness as president.
He said, "I'm excited to see what (Obama will) bring the country in the next four years."

The University of Maryland begins it's 2013-14 college basketball season on November 8th against the UConn Huskies in Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately, head coach Mark Turgeon will be without starting point guard Seth Allen. Allen, a sophomore, sustained a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. According to a release from the University yesterday, Allen is expected to miss 8-10 weeks.
Make no mistake, this a big setback for the Terps and for Allen himself.
After averaging 7.8 pints and 2.3 assists as a freshman, Allen seemed ready for a breakout campaign. "We are devastated for Seth," said Turgeon. "He was playing at a very high level throughout the summer and fall and was poised to have an excellent start to the season."
Allen was hurt near the end of practice on Tuesday night when he landed awkwardly on his left foot as he drove to the hoop.
Turgeon said in a text to The Baltimore Sun that junior Dez Wells will move over to the point guard position. Wells is explosive and one of the top players in the country when it comes to attacking the rim. Unfortunately, he is also prone to the turnover.
Last season, turnovers were not exclusive to Wells. The Terps were last in the ACC in turnover percentage in 2012-13. In conference play, Maryland turned the ball over on 22 percent of their possessions. That is the main reason they were relegated to the NIT.
Protecting the ball is something that Turgeon would like to see his team do much better, obviously. An improved and more mature Seth Allen was going to be huge in that area.
Let's not forget that highly-regarded freshman Roddy Peters in on board and is the future at point for the Terps. Because of Allen's unfortunate injury, the future might be now for Peters.
Maryland is expected–by me and many others–to be an NCAA Tournament team in their last year in the ACC. If Wells and Peters can hold down the PG duties until Allen returns in January, the Terps should be on pace to Dance for the first time since 2010.

Generally Bluetooth headsets offer us the facility of carrying on a conversation within a 20-meter range, but when the other person is close to the outside limit, you may get annoying connection breaks. And why should we settle for anything if we can get more? Or so thinks Callpod.
Consequently, what Callpod did was turn out two Bluetooth headsets with extend the wireless conversation range to impressive 50 meters, and over.

At 4:30 PM the sun starts to go down. It is cold outside. I light a candle for my evening meditation, a real karma-burner that allows me to open the lotus blossom of my heart. Feel its fragrance, be inside the chambers of where the oldest stories I tell myself are hidden. I look at that flame every night and I focus on the process: it is a pleasure to burn the old life inside me because it is too painful to carry anymore.
Most people spend their entire lives crawling. This is a fact. The mind is a series of patterns on which we are sent messages from our subconscious. These stories are older than our childhoods, and our karma is to figure out why we came to this planet to suffer the same story over and over again. Why we seem to be the victim of our life instead of the hero is patterned in our subconscious tales of lack, fear, hurt and pain that we were brought to from the human condition. From the suffering that we seem to be doomed to follow.
Its a fucking pleasure to burn that story. I want to throw the entire chapter of my false identity into a pit of flames and never hear words from that place again. I want a working heart and a loving soul.
Fortunately for me, I have Kundalini Yoga, and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. Tonight my teacher explained to me that all of those stories are from fear. That the way of the heart-centered warrior is not to fight and suffer and lose and be an animal. But to be gracious, regal and gentle with my soul. It is easy to be numb, to be harsh, to be critical and to hate. It is the hardest thing in the world to face fear with the open lotus of the heart.
"Repeat after me : I love myself, I trust myself, I am myself. LOUDER, Until I believe you…" – Yogi Bhajan
Tonight, I read about the goddess Marzanna. She is a goddess from Poland who represents the seasonal rites of Winter. She is the death that needs to happen in order for Spring to bloom. The Slavic root of her name, mor, or mors, means death. Some German studies have likened her to mare, or nightmare. She visits and brings death, nightmare, phantoms, visions, hallucinations. In other words, she is the bringer of the dark days without sun or sky so that the soil of the Earth is clear for a rebirth.
Marzanna. Ugly doll of death, harbinger of Winter.
There is a tradition in the Czech Republic to burn an effigy of Marzanna during the vernal equinox of Spring, on March 21. A likeness of Marzanna is brought through the town on that day and burned on a pyre of herbs, flowers, and stones. This is a community passing of Winter and the welcoming of Spring. When she is burned, it is considered bad luck to touch any of her ashes after she has been put on the fire. You don't want that old story carried around with you any more than you want six more weeks of cold. The time for death and mourning is passing and we don't have time for the baggage that follows that season. Don't look at Marzanna once you are done with your ritual. Don't carry any more of her stories with you. You don't need them anymore.
In the next few months, I've got a lot of burning to do. The old habits, the old stories, the old triggers. They need to die quick deaths so that life may regenerate in my soul. May the following weeks bring you a burning process that clears the cosmos for your destiny. May the false piece of yourself that you keep identifying with die out. May you feel the lotus blossom of your heart open and may that burn bright in the harsh conditions. May your baggage fall into flames. May you regenerate with love and understanding so you may be strong and carry your community through the Aquarian Age.
Sat Nam.
May your Goddess serve you to burn the stories.

Alan Wilson Receives Unprecedented Support in Massive Bipartisan Law Enforcement Coalition

He continued, "It means the world to me that the law enforcement community, including both Democrats and Republicans, overwhelmingly supports my campaign for re-election."
Video: The Only Proven Prosecutor

Attorney General Alan Wilson announces another victory for SCE&G ratepayers
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announces that the rate decrease for SCE&G customers passed by the state legislature will now continue. Today, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied SCE&G's motion to stop the rate decrease while a court battle over it continues. The Court also denied SCE&G's request to speed-up that lawsuit, denied the company's request to dismiss it, and allowed Attorney General Wilson to file friend-of-the-court briefs in the case.
"This is another big win for SCE&G ratepayers," Attorney General Wilson said. "We've argued that customers should not have to pay billions of dollars for a hole in the ground. The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals recognized that it would be inappropriate to halt the General Assembly's reduction of customers' rates."

Attorney General Wilson urges Congress to reauthorize Violence Against Women Act
(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – Attorney General Alan Wilson today joined 55 other state and territory attorneys general to urge Congress to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
The attorneys general sent a letter earlier today to congressional leaders and the chairs of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, urging lawmakers to vote to reauthorize VAWA before it expires this year.
"The Violence Against Women Act has been a tremendous help to those of us who are working to reduce domestic violence and sexual assault in South Carolina," Attorney General Wilson said. "We just announced millions in grants going to groups around the state that are helping victims and that vital work needs to continue."
Under VAWA, originally passed in 1994, over $6 billion in grant funding has been awarded to government and nonprofit organizations nationwide. The grants have funded training and assistance to address and reduce domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The grants have also funded resources and services to assist survivors, prosecute offenders and facilitate partnerships between prosecutors, judges, advocates, community organizations and health care providers.
In their letter, the attorneys general emphasized the importance of VAWA to reducing the rate of sexual violence toward women and addressing the devastating effects of these crimes. They urged Congress to continue funding for programs that have helped millions of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
