Samburu & Buffalo
Not as popular as some other parks in Kenya, but it is hard to see why. Samburu and Buffalo Springs are divided by the sandy Ewaso Nyiro River but are essentially the same. This area of Northern Kenya is lower, drier and hotter than the Maasai Mara but the rewards, especially along the river margins, are huge.
Ringed by vertiginous escarpments everything about the park is unusual from the geography to the species. Among the rarer species to be seen here are the gerenuk, endangered Grevys zebra, Reticulated giraffe, Vulturine guinea fowl and the Golden starling. For elephants and leopards it is simply sensational and it is not uncommon to see large herds crossing the river on the same game drive as leopards lounging on fallen trees.

We know Twitter will be integrated into the core of iOS 5. That's a big deal. So what is the SF startup doing to prepare for the onslaught of traffic they're sure to face? Well, nothing.
According to Twitter's VP of Engineering Michael Abbot (and as told by GigaOm), they're already pretty comfortable with the state of their current infrastructure, and feel like the upgrades and improvements they've made to their servers over the past year is built to handle any extra action iOS 5 will throw at it.
"During the last nine months, there's been more infrastructure changes at Twitter than there had been in the previous five years at the company," said Abbott, who joined Twitter in May 2010. "So that whether it be the death of bin Laden, or someone announces a pregnancy, we can handle those issues and you're not seeing a fail whale."
Now, if only that damn iOS 5 would arrive. [GigaOm]

Why Use PA Polly Virtual Assistant?
I first heard the term "Virtual Assistant" in 2017 while looking for a new role. It sounded like my dream job. However, I assumed it was a concept only used in trendy Tech / Media companies. After lots of research, I discovered that VAs were in fact being used by many different types of companies. From sole traders to large multinationals, they were being hired in increasing numbers.
Virtual Assistants are growing in demand and when you look at the benefits of using someone like PA Polly, it's easy to see why. Continue reading "Why Use PA Polly Virtual Assistant?"
6 Reasons not to hire a Virtual Assistant
Although the popularity of Virtual Assistants has been growing over recent years, it's still a relatively new concept for many people. In talking about my business, I usually get asked the same questions. "What is a Virtual Assistant?", "How does it work?"' and "Who's Polly?". This is usually followed by a number of reasons why a VA wouldn't be suitable for some businesses. So, in this post, I'm taking on some of these objections. Continue reading "6 Reasons not to hire a Virtual Assistant"
A Virtual Assistant or a Personal Assistant?
A successful business can not survive on good ideas alone. Robust infrastructure and administrative processes are essential to growing your business and providing a professional service to your customers. So, if you've identified the need for help, you might be wondering if you need a Personal Assistant (PA) or a Virtual Assistant (VA). On paper, they can provide many of the same services. So, what's the difference and which is the best option for your business? Here are some things to consider when deciding. Continue reading "A Virtual Assistant or a Personal Assistant?"
How setting up my own business has made me better at my job
When I decided to launch PA Polly, I thought I had all the skills I needed to be a Virtual Assistant. I had spent over 2 decades supporting very important people, do very important things. How wrong I was! What I had not anticipated was the stupidly steep learning curve I would have to undertake to simply launch my business. Having always worked for someone else, support was always available. If I had IT issues, I could call the helpdesk. If I needed marketing material, there was a team for that too. There was always someone, somewhere to help. Continue reading "How setting up my own business has made me better at my job"

Role of the insect supervectors Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis in the emergence and global spread of plant viruses
Annual Review of Virology 2, 67-93
Abstract: Emergence of insect-transmitted plant viruses over the past 10–20 years has been disproportionately driven by two so-called supervectors: the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, and the Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis. High rates of reproduction and dispersal, extreme polyphagy, and development of insecticide resistance, together with human activities, have made these insects global pests. These supervectors transmit a diversity of plant viruses by different mechanisms and mediate virus emergence through local evolution, host shifts, mixed infections, and global spread. Associated virus evolution involves reassortment, recombination, and component capture. Emergence of B. tabaci–transmitted geminiviruses (begomoviruses), ipomoviruses, and torradoviruses has led to global disease outbreaks as well as multiple paradigm shifts. Similarly, F. occidentalis has mediated tospovirus host shifts and global dissemination and the emergence of pollen-transmitted ilarviruses. The plant virus–supervector interaction offers exciting opportunities for basic research and global implementation of generalized disease management strategies to reduce economic and environmental impacts.

It's been a nice sunny weekend here, hopefully this will continue for a little longer!
I've been busy drawing a Southbank map. The Southbank here in London is a lovely place to go and walk around I think and there are plenty of things to do, places to stop, eat, drink and people watch. It's been somewhere I've always enjoyed going to since I've lived here.
I always find maps challenging which I like. I make a lot of sketches of everything before I put it all together trying to make sure everything is roughly where it should be, a lot of sticking and photocopying of all the sketches takes place before I work on the final. I drew the Tate several times trying to get the texture I wanted! I really love that building. I do love London :).

Our History
Mbwa Wa Africa was founded by Sandra Kliegelhoefer with the support her husband, Jens Fissenebert.
In 2002, Sandra, Jens, and the couple's ten year old dog, Luca, loaded their old Land Rover and began a journey that would eventually lead them to Africa. Along the way, they stopped to care for several lost, abandoned, and injured dogs, ultimately adopting eight before they reached their current home in Usa River, Arusha, Tanzania. After realizing the growing demand to care for dogs in their community, Sandra and Jens established Mbwa Wa Africa, a no-kill animal rescue shelter that focused on caring for animals and finding them adoptive homes. Further demand by residents of the region led Sandra and Jens to also establish a boarding kennel to care for animals while their owners we away.
In 2015 the project was extended by rabies vaccination campaigns, spay / neuter clinics and the first animal welfare class was held at a local primary school.
MWA focuses on providing animal welfare services for domestic dogs in Tanzania. We aim to:
- Aid in the reduction of disease, especially rabies amongst dogs and control reproductive numbers.
- Ensure that any animal that is abused, injured or in danger to itself or others is rescued with the intent on improving its health and well being.
- Ensure that once a dog has been rehabilitated and in good health that it is re-homed where it will receive continual care and rehabilitation.
- Raise the level of community awareness regarding animal rights and welfare of domestic dogs and other animals.
MWA's vision is to realize a fundamental change in the mentality and understanding of animal welfare and rights within the local community, and through this to enable all animals, domestic or otherwise, to be treated in a fair and reasonable manner.
To reach this goal we also want to provide the first Animal Welfare Training Centre in the Arusha Region.
Our strategy involves three strands:
Spay / neutering is the only sustainable way to reduce the ever growing dog population. (World Organisation for Animal Health, Terrestrial Code, Chapter 7.7)
Due to lack of funding we cannot run our spay and neuter program on a regular base, however, it is our goal to further develop and expand our current program to a bi-monthly clinic. With the support of the Worldwide Veterinary Service we started to reduce the rapidly growing animal population in Tanzania. Our hope is to raise funds in order to create a Mobile Clinic project that will provide and administer medical care to animals across the region.
In Tanzania, rabies claims the lives of 1499 humans per year.
The World Health Organisation and OIE World Organisation for Animal Health advocate a 'One Health' approach to rabies control – vaccination of at least 70% of the dog population in a rabies-endemic area prevents the spread of rabies between dogs and its transmission to people.
Our yearly Mission Rabies vaccination campaigns are following this recommendation which helps to prevent future cases in our area and plays an important part in the reduction of this deadly disease.
The Campaigns are going hand in hand with education in schools on how to approach and treat dogs in a safe manner to prevent dogs bites and how to treat wounds to prevent a rabies infection.
The educational program of Mbwa Wa Africa is aimed at enhancing the point of view of children to dogs so that subsequent generations will view canines in a more positive manner. By building the knowledge of primary school children so that they feel more comfortable around dogs, it is hoped that the animals will be treated in a more humane way. Topics include proper care of animals, medical needs of dogs, constructive human behaviors around dogs, and reading the body language of dogs. This program will be paired with instruction in English in order to build the oral and written expressive skills of the children. Puppies will be visiting the classrooms regularly so that the children can become used to their presence and be happy to have the animals in the room. Our English/Animal Welfare curriculum is an intensive three-month program in order to build a depth of understanding.
In Tanzania, like in many other countries in this world, companion animals are mostly not kept as pets. The majority of them are guard dogs and sick or unwanted dogs are either killed, dumped on the streets or left wandering around to survive.
Many of our rescues are found on the side of the road often near death from starvation or injury. Since many of these animals have endured inhumane conditions and sustained abusive treatment at the hands of their owners, they are approached with great care and patience. Once the animals recognize that they are in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment, their aggressive behaviors dissipate and they can begin the process of rehabilitation and recovery.
All rescues receive the highest affordable quality of care by our staff in order to promote recovery, health, and well-being. Medical treatment is administered for injured animals and all are monitored throughout the healing process. Severely injured and special needs animals are cared for around the clock by night staff that monitor their condition.
Animals are fed twice daily however puppies, kittens, elderly, or infirm animals receive meals as needed to promote health. Ideally, animals who are healthy enough for exercise are walked twice a day regardless of weather conditions.
We make sure that all our animals are re-homed with appropriate owners where they can have a happy life.

From October, 11 2011 to April, 29 2012
The exhibition "The Water that Satisfies Hunger" aims to go a little further in showing the scale of the importance of the presence and preservation of water, allowing us, as individuals, to see how by acting correctly we can achieve sustainable management of this vital resource.
The main goal of the exhibition is to reveal the importance of applying sustainable water management, as one part of the capacities required in order to guarantee the productivity of the land, both at the urban and the rural level, and on different scales (local, regional, etc.), as well as its importance in reducing vulnerability to the climatic and environmental threats faced by communities.
The exhibition has been organised by the mNACTEC together with AquaSost (the Sustainable Water Management Group), of the UNESCO Chair of Sustainability at the UPC (Technical University of Catalonia), Action Against Hunger, the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia and Terrassa City Council (Department of Solidarity and International Corporation).

Joining the ranks of films that endeavor to solve the mystery of JFK's murder will be a new movie from Leonardo DiCaprio.
DiCaprio will star in and produce "Legacy of Secrecy," reported Variety. The movie will be based on Lamar Waldron's and Thom Hartmann's book, "Legacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the JFK Assassination," which is loaded with declassified FBI files.
The actor plans to play Jack Van Laningham, an FBI stoolie who claimed that mafioso Carlos Marcello told him that he was the one who ordered the hit on the president.
U.S. & World
The official synopsis for the book is breathlessly provocative:
Warner Bros. hopes to have "Legacy of Secrecy" ready for 2013, the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's death.
Will somebody please get serious about JFK assassination films and just make a film version of James Elroy's "American Tabloid"?

Just a week before the All-Ireland football final, a new wave of emigration is devastating the GAA with clubs in Roscommon losing 105 players in the last year alone.
And the exodus is nationwide. Clubs are preparing for county finals and semi-finals around the country with up to two-thirds of their strongest teams of just two years ago now living overseas.
Figures from the Central Statistics Office show that 40,200 Irish citizens emigrated during the 12 months up to April 2011, nearly 13,000 more than in the same period in 2010. Most of those leaving are aged between 15 and 44 years.
The annual emigration figure represents half the expected attendance at Croke Park for next Sunday's All-Ireland football final between Donegal and Mayo.
Ironically, it is clear that sky-high demand for tickets for the most eagerly anticipated final in years is being partly driven by exiles who want to return home for the match.
And evidence gathered from around the country shows that while the GAA can expect a big financial boost from the final, as well as the All-Ireland hurling final replay at the end of the month, many clubs, especially in rural areas, are finding it difficult to field teams.
In Cork, even city clubs are now being hit by the loss of players.
"We are losing the cream of GAA talent in the 21- to 25-year age group," stated Thomas Gould, a councillor and member of the St Vincent's club in Cork city. "These are the guys who would have provided the backbone of a club for the next 10 years."
Last weekend Finuge, the club of Kerry star Paul Galvin, overcame Ardfert in the Kerry intermediate football semi-final. The bruising encounter, in which Galvin was sent off, was a repeat of the 2006 semi-final but in the intervening years Ardfert have lost three-quarters of their starting line-up.
Other sports clubs in rural areas have been hit by emigration. The 43-season-old Roscommon and District soccer league started the new season with five fewer teams than last year.
Another sign of the rapid rise in GAA players leaving Ireland was a recent fundraising drive by the Desmonds GAA club in Castleisland, which was launching a renewed membership scheme to help ease financial difficulties. The club received a cheque for €1,300 from Sydney from 13 members of the club now based in Australia.
Young Islanders from Valentia in Co Kerry lost their 14th player from the island's senior team last January.
Kerry has been one of the worst affected areas for emigration. In the Dún Chaoin and Castlegregory areas, the population fell by 71 per cent between the 2006 and the 2011 censuses.
Smaller county teams are also being badly hit. Famously, from the Leitrim championship squad of 2010 only 10 were still involved this year.
Former Louth manager and Fine Gael TD Peter Fitzpatrick started his last campaign in charge with a training session last January. By mid-June he had lost 11 players to emigration.
Earlier this year, it emerged that the rural Clare club Clooney/Quin, which had three teams at senior, intermediate and junior level, was forced to scrap the intermediate team as seven of its former senior team were playing junior hurling in Australia.

Book 1 of the Andy & the Albino Horse Series
Category: Academic Wings
Author: Mary Jean Kelso maryjeankelsoauthor.wixsite.com/mjkel
Artist: K.C. Snider KCSniderart.com
Print ISBN: 9781933090900
eBook ISBN: 9781933090351
When Andy takes equine therapy, he learns how to cope with his disabilities and searches for ways to get along with a bully at school. By learning about the horse and its own handicaps, Andy begins to see hope for himself and his future. 4 pages of horse educational facts included.
Andy and the Albino Horse Series Book One- For anyone facing any form of disability I urge you to read Andy and the Albino Horse. It does not matter what age, this book is a great lesson for all ages, even if one has no disability. It opens the eyes and hearts to what is really important in life. The connection with Andy and Spirit are so brilliantly portrayed that my heart leaped with joy, and tears sprung to my eyes. Mary Jean Kelso pens a heart-tugging tale about learning to cope with a disability, and even a bully, in a story I highly recommend. She allows Andy to see no matter how hard a challenge may appear; sometimes others may have their own test to endure. This precious book is a treasure indeed. The illustrations are creatively done, too, that adapt to the tale.

Our screens and feeds are filled with news and images of black Americans dying or being brutalized. A brief and yet still-too-long list: Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Eric Garner, Renisha McBride. The image of a white police officer straddling a black teenager on a lawn in McKinney, Tex., had barely faded before we were forced to grapple with the racially motivated shooting in Charleston, S.C.
I've had numerous conversations with friends and colleagues who are stressed out by the recent string of events; our anxiety and fear is palpable. A few days ago, a friend sent a text message that read, "I'm honestly terrified this will happen to us or someone we know." Twitter and Facebook are teeming with anguish, and within my own social network (which admittedly consists largely of writers, academics and activists), I've seen several ad hoc databases of clinics and counselors crop up to help those struggling to cope. Instagram and Twitter have become a means to circulate information about yoga, meditation and holistic treatment services for African-Americans worn down by the barrage of reports about black deaths and police brutality, and I've been invited to several small gatherings dedicated to discussing these events. A handful of friends recently took off for Morocco for a few months with the explicit goal of escaping the psychic weight of life in America.
It was against this backdrop that I first encountered the research of Monnica Williams, a psychologist, professor and the director of the University of Louisville's Center for Mental Health Disparities. Several years ago, Williams treated a "high-functioning patient, with two master's degrees and a job at a company that anyone would recognize." The woman, who was African-American, had been devastated by racial harassment by a director within her company. Williams recalls being stunned by how drastically her patient's condition deteriorated as a result of the treatment. "She completely withdrew and was suffering from extreme emotional anxiety," she told me. "And that's what made me say, 'Wow, we have to focus on this.' "
In a 2013 Psychology Today article, Williams wrote that "much research has been conducted on the social, economic and political effects of racism, but little research recognizes the psychological effects of racism on people of color." Williams now studies the link between racism and post-traumatic stress disorder, which is known as race-based traumatic stress injury, or the emotional distress a person may feel after encountering racial harassment or hostility. Although much of Williams's work focuses on individuals who have been directly targeted by racial discrimination or aggression, she says race-based stress reactions can be triggered by events that are experienced vicariously, or externally, through a third party — like social media or national news events. She argues that racism should be included as a cause of PTSD in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (D.S.M.).
Williams is in the process of opening a clinical program that will exclusively treat race-based stress and trauma, in a predominantly black neighborhood in Louisville. Shortly after the Charleston shooting, I called Williams to discuss her work; what follows is a lightly edited and condensed transcript of our conversation.
What is race-based stress and trauma?
It's a natural byproduct of the types of experiences that minorities have to deal with on a regular basis. I would argue that it is pathological, which means it is a disorder that we can assess and treat. To me, that means these are symptoms that are a diagnosable disorder that require a clinical intervention. It goes largely unrecognized in most people, and that's based on my experience as a clinician.
What are the symptoms?
Depression, intrusion (the inability to get the thoughts about what happened out of one's mind), vigilance (an inability to sleep, out of fear of danger), anger, loss of appetite, apathy and avoidance symptoms and emotional numbing. My training and study has been on post-traumatic stress disorder for a long time, and the two look very much alike.
Over the weekend, I received several distressing emails and texts from friends who were suffering from feelings of anxiety and depression. Do you think we should all be in treatment?
I think everyone could benefit from psychotherapy, but I think just talking to someone and processing the feelings can be very effective. It doesn't have to be with a therapist; it could be with a pastor, family, friends and people who understand it and aren't going to make it worse by telling you to stop complaining.
What do you think about the #selfcare hashtags on social media and the role of "Black Twitter" as resources for people who may not have the resources they need to help process this? Are online interactions like that more meaningful than they initially might seem?
Online communities can be a great source of support, of course — with the caveat that even just one hater can be stressful for everyone, and that's the danger of it. But if you don't have a friend or a family member, just find someone who is sensitive and understanding and can deal with racial issues.
In our initial email about the ripple effects of the murders in Charleston, you used the phrase "vicarious trauma." What does that mean?
Because the African-American community has such a long history of pervasive discrimination, something that impacts someone many miles away can sometimes impact all of us. That's what I mean by vicarious traumatization.
Is racial trauma widely recognized as a legitimate disorder?
The trauma of events like this is not formally recognized in the D.S.M. It talks about different types of trauma and stress-related ailments, but it doesn't say that race trauma can be a factor or a trigger for these problems. Psychiatrists, unless they've had some training or personal experience with this, are not going to know to look for it and aren't going to understand it when they see it. In order for it to be recognized, we have to get a good body of scientific research, a lot of publications in reputable peer-reviewed journals. Right now, there's only been a few. And we need to produce more.
On your blog, you chronicled the experience of a woman who encounters a therapist who dismisses her fears about racism. Is one barrier to treatment getting the medical community to acknowledge that racism exists?
Yes. A lot of people in the medical community live very privileged lives, so racism isn't a reality to them. When someone comes in and talks to them, it might sound like a fairy tale, rather than a real daily struggle that people are dealing with. Research shows that African-Americans, for example, are optimistic when they start therapy, but within a few sessions feel less optimistic and have high early dropout rates. It could be that clinicians don't know how to address their problems, or they may even be saying things that are subtly racist that may drive their clients away. If the patient feels misunderstood or even insulted by the therapist and they don't go back and get help, they end up suffering for years or even the rest of their lives for something that is very treatable.
Is there a recommended model for treatment?
We have great treatments that are empirically supported for trauma, but the racial piece hasn't really been studied very well. That's no easy task, because when we write these articles, they go to journals, where an editor looks at it and decides if it's worthy and applicable to go in the journal. And then it goes to reviewers who decide if it's a worthy and applicable topic.
Why has it taken so long to get momentum?
If you think about it, they weren't even letting black people get Ph.D.s 30 years ago in a lot of places. Ethnic minority researchers are the ones who are carrying the torch, by and large. We're only to the place now where we have enough researchers to do the work. And there's so much work that needs to be done.

Prof. Lindsay Clark responded to a comment I made on her blog by describing her thoughts about the differences between self image, self identity and social identity.
If I may try to separate her concepts a little, I think that "self identity" I might define loosely as the "meaning I want to project to the world about who I am". In other words, its the information I want to share, the things I want the world to think about me.
I might consider that "self image" be defined as "what I think I mean to myself alone". This being private, I would tend to keep a lot more of my interior personna to myself than I try to project.
Leaving "social identity" to be defined as "what others think I represent or stand for (or, the meaning of me in the world)". This would be the amalgamation of "messages received" not necessarily the messages I intended to send.
And while I think there would be strong relationships and hopefully a good bit of overlap among these three sets, they are necessarily not the same things.
The teenager example Prof. Clark chose is a good one because it shows these ideas in microcosm. She wrote:
The artifacts of this tend to be personal and may not be able to be recognized by anyone else. (e.g. a teenager who keeps the bottle cap from the soda he was drinking when he had his first kiss)….
The individual may consciously or unconsciously try to affect that perception through symbolic artifacts. (e.g. a teenager who displays a poster of the latest hit band in his locker). These artifacts, for obvious reasons, tend to be social symbols which are recognized by all people of that social group.
Here is an annotated short story in the voice of an imagined teenager to illustrate how I have made distinctions amongst these terms. My apologies to the professor if this is not exactly what she had in mind…
I have a poster of my favorite singer because I really am a fan of music, and music is an important aspect of who I am. Having that poster reminds me of how much I like music (self image). I put the poster in my locker because I want to tell my friends a message about how much I like music, and in particular how much I like my favorite singer (self identity). But this backfired on me because my peers and cohorts think my favorite singer is (fill in the negative connotation here) "babyish" and now my classmates think I am definitely the same (social identity).
If we take the poster itself and consider it as just a, what I call, "syntactic medium" (quickly, this is something that can be used to carry a projected meaning or concept), we can see there are three different meanings depending on the point of view and situation (context).
In my private context (the dialog I have with myself) I am excited, enthused and my sense of self is re-energized when I see my poster.
In the hallway at school, my friends (cohort context) see the poster and are reminded that I really like the singer. They may not like them as much, but being my friends, they have received the message that this singer is important to me (that I enjoy them), and they may now be on the lookout for other souvenirs of that artist on my behalf.
But in the larger high school environment (community context), my poster has now caused some of the disdain my peers hold for the singer to have been transferred onto me. Oh well, at least my friends understand me…
What I like about this story is that it also illustrates how easily we humans can shift from one context to another seemlessly. In the span of three sentences, our teenager can express what that one symbol represents in three different contexts.
As a software developer, I can tell you how miraculous that talent of ours is, because software cannot do it! Software (at least as the world currently develops it) would necessarily only understand one of the three contexts.

Today as I headed out to my hair appointment my hairdresser texted that she would be running late. What is a person to do when you get that message? As a gardener on a cool spring morning you head for the nearest display of plants available. Yep, no self respecting nursery around here has much to offer this time of year but the local big box store has plenty of pansies and small shrubs etc. I must say I did succumb even though it was spitting rain. After all the weather watchers say we aren't going to have any frost for the next 10 days or so.
While there I also picked up a magazine MINI GARDENS & TERRARIUMS. I thought I could sit and read until called to the shearing chair. I just got started reading this magazine when I came upon a picture showing a small Japanese Maple in a box being trained as a bonsai. It had moss and rocks around it.
Oh be still my heart. This reminded me of the small Japanese Maple that I nursed through last summer. When early winter came along I stowed the pot in the the window well that leads to our crawl space. I thought it might survive with a bit of protection. I couldn't hardly wait to get home and check on my little maple with it's mini hosta and moss. As you can see the little darlings survived and thrived. This is the only tree in the garden with leaves. So I can say it is a bit warmer in there sort of like a greenhouse.
With the picture in the magazine as an inspiration I wired the little tree into a cascade. It being so small it was easy to do.
As you can see I added a small fern that I bought this winter that is supposed to stay small. It looks larger in the pot than I imagined I can always take it out if it gets too big.
Have you ever tried bonsai? I have always admired the small trees, plants, moss and rocks that all are part of the whole scene. I have no idea what kind of moss I have in there. The clump of moss that has the spore capsules is a dark green. It has been in the pot as long as the tree and hosta have been together there.
The flat moss, which is larger and a lighter green, is a piece of moss that I collected not long ago. I hope it likes it's new home. Do any of you have an idea of what kind of mosses I have here?
I would like to hear your thoughts about my little bonsai start. I don't know what I am doing even though I have read about the process. I decided to go for it. We will have to wait to see what happens now.

I love Parfaits. I like to pretty them up for the children, to turn them into special treats.
- I put them into sundae cups for a nice treat. Or I use decorative bowls.
- I have real tea-spoons with long handles that I place in the cups.
Berries are healthy and should be a part of everyone's diet, with the possible exception of babies. My daughters and the daycare children love these, as do I.
- Use any type of berries you like, and or combination of berries.
- Use coconut cream, flavoring it if you'd like with pure vanilla or mint extract.
- Add toppings such as fresh cherries or dried fruit, if desired.
- Add seeds or nuts to the top.
All you do is:
- Put a tablespoon of cream in the bottom of the cup.
- Layer coconut yogurt and berries until you get to the top.
- Add your choice of topping(s).
These parfaits are great for:
- Daycare children to make.
- Hot summer days.
- Party treats.
They make great:
- Snacks.
- Breakfast ideas.
- Desserts.
P.S. If you have any parfait ideas that you'd care to share, please post them in the comments. Thank you.

Code of Ethics
Adhering to a professional Code of Ethics helps companies and individuals build relationships of trust with their customers, employees, suppliers, owners and the communities in which they work.
Ethical Issues Have Become More Complicated
The need to adhere to increasingly complex government regulations and the litigious nature of our society has changed how property managers view their profession.
Public Trust in Fair Business Has Diminished
It has become a common occurrence to hear the details of corporate scandals in the media. Now more than ever, it is crucially important for property management professionals to obtain the validation that comes from belonging to an organization that has set a high standard of conduct for its members.
Our Code of Ethics
It is well known that NARPM® promotes a high standard of business ethics, professionalism and fair housing practices. Click here to view the NARPM® Code of Ethics & Standards of Professionalism, were formalized and adopted In 1994 at the New Orleans Convention, and have been amended several times since,
Trouble with a Property Manager?
If the property manager is a member of NARPM®, we will investigate your claims after you submit a completed Ethics Complaint against the member. We can't guarantee our effectiveness in resolving your issue, but we will make contact with the offending company.
Antitrust Compliance
As part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), NARPM® agreed to change its Code of Ethics and will not adopt, encourage its members to follow, or enforce any Code of Ethics provision relating to solicitation of property management work that does not comply with the FTC Consent Order.
- FTC Settlement Statement
- FTC Decision and Order
- FTC Complaint
- FTC Press Release issued by the Commission in this matter
Amended Article 9 and Standards of Professionalism:
Article 9: RELATIONS WITH OTHER PROPERTY MANAGERS
The Property Manager shall not knowingly or recklessly make false or misleading statements about other property managers or their business practices, or otherwise attempt to take business from other property managers by deceptive means.
- 9-1 The Property Manager shall conduct dealings with other property managers in an honest and professional manner and shall not knowingly engage in any practice or take any action against a property manager in an un-businesslike manner.
- 9-2 The Property Manager shall not knowingly interfere with other property managers' contract rights, including by taking actions inconsistent with exclusive agreements that other property managers have with their clients. This does not preclude the Property Manager from otherwise soliciting potential Clients or making general announcements about his or her own services. For purposes of this Code, a general announcement may be defined as a general telephone canvass or a general mailing or distribution addressed to all prospects in a given geographical area or in a specific profession, business, club, organization, or other classification or group. This Code does not restrict fair and reasonable competition among property managers.
- 9-3 In the event of a controversy or dispute with a property manager at a different Firm, the Property Manager shall use best efforts to resolve the dispute prior to litigation.
- 9-4 The Property Manager shall not obtain or use the proprietary materials or work of a competing management Firm without the express written permission of that Firm.
- 9-5 The Property Manager shall cooperate with other property managers when it is in the best interests of the Client or Tenant to do so.
- Note: The Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") has conducted an investigation concerning certain provisions in the NARPM® Code of Ethics and Standards of Professionalism ("Code of Ethics"). The provisions of the Code of Ethics that were addressed by the FTC are those that stated: "NARPM® Professional Members shall refrain from criticizing other property managers or their business practices" and "The Property Manager shall not knowingly solicit competitor's clients." The FTC has alleged that these provisions in the Code of Ethics restrict members of NARPM® from competing for clients, thereby depriving clients of the benefits of competition among property managers, in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Without admitting a violation of the law, NARPM® has agreed to the entry of a Consent Agreement and a Decision and Order by the FTC in this matter (the "Order"). The Order requires NARPM® to amend the Code of Ethics by deleting these two provisions; please note that such restrictions on solicitation or advertising by NARPM® members no longer apply.
NARPM® Antitrust Statement:
It is the policy of the NARPM® to comply fully with all antitrust laws. The antitrust laws prohibit, among other things, any joint conduct among competitors that could lessen competition in the marketplace. NARPM®'s membership is composed of competitors; they must refrain from discussing competitively sensitive topics, including those related to pricing (such as rates, fees, or costs), individual competitors or specific business transactions, or controlling or allocating markets. NARPM® shall not restrict members' ability to solicit competitors' clients. NARPM® shall not restrict members' ability to advertise for business, provided the advertising is not false, deceptive or otherwise illegal.

MIT professor and double amputee invents the Iwalk PowerFoot, the world's most advanced robotic prosthetic foot December 3, 2009Posted by HubTechInsider in Hardware, Health Care IT, Robotics, Startups, Venture Capital.

MIT professor and double amputee Dr. Hugh Herr is building the world's most advanced prosthetic foot. In 2006, Herr founded Iwalk, which has plans to release next year the PowerFoot One, the world's most advanced robotic ankle and foot. Iwalk is a startup funded by General Catalyst Partners and WFD Ventures. Iwalk has raised $10.2 million from investors.
The Iwalk PowerFoot is the only foot and ankle in the word that doesn't depend on its wearer's energy. With a system of passive springs and a half-pound rechargeable lithium iron phosphate battery, the foot – made of aluminum, titanium, plastic and carbon fiber – provides the same 20-joule push off the ground that human muscles and tendons do. It automatically adjusts the power to the walker's speed, but users can also dial that power up or down with a Bluetooth-enabled phone, and with a forthcoming iPhone application.
Most prosthetic feet are fixed at a clumsy 90 degrees. The Iwalk PowerFoot, equipped with three internal microprocessors and twelve force, inertia and position sensors, automatically adjusts its angle, stiffness and damping 500 times a second. Employing the same sort of sensory feedback loops that the human nervous system uses, plus a library of known patterns, the PowerFoot adjusts for slopes, dips its toe naturally when walking down the stairs, even hangs casually when the user crosses his or her legs.
Potential customers include the Department of Defense, looking for prostheses for the nearly 1,000 soldiers who have lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Veterans Administration and the Army are among the investors in Dr. Herr's research.
Herr has a reputation as an obsessive student, earning a master's in mechanical enginerring at MIT and a Ph.D. in biophysics at Harvard. He sat on a panel of scientists that confirmed that South African Oscar Pistorius, a sprinter with no legs below the knee, should be allowed to compete in the Olympics.

Boston Dynamics is based in Waltham, MA. The Big Dog robot's development was funded by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the US government. Early in the company's history, it worked with the American Systems Corporation under a contract from the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) to replace naval training videos for aircraft launch operations with interactive 3D computer simulations.
Marc Raibert is the company's president and principal project manager. He spun the company off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992.
The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth
BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal's, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.

The Legged Learning Robot
LittleDog is a quadruped robot for research on learning locomotion. Scientists at leading institutions use LittleDog to probe the fundamental relationships among motor learning, dynamic control, perception of the environment, and rough terrain locomotion.
LittleDog has four legs, each powered by three electric motors. The legs have a large range of motion and workspace. The motors are strong enough for dynamic locomotion, including climbing. The onboard PC-level computer does sensing, actuator control and communications. LittleDog's sensors measure joint angles, motor currents, body orientation and foot/ground contact. Control programs access the robot through the Boston Dynamics Robot API. Onboard lithium polymer batteries allow for 30 minutes of continuous operation without recharging. Wireless communications and data logging support remote operation and analysis. LittleDog development is funded by the DARPA Information Processing Technology Office.

Caterpillar C is Alive!, originally uploaded by Nobledesign.
I noticed a hint of color and motion (upper left) inside the jar on my desk. The jar I'd long since assumed held the dead chrysalis of my third captured caterpillar.
I can't describe the wonder and surprise at seeing this brightly-colored and beautiful fluttering creation after being so sure no butterfly could still be alive after looking like a dead leaf for so many weeks!
I took loads of photos, tried to find out if he needed food or water and then decided to release him out the window, even though I don't imagine there are any passion flower vines for him or other Gulf Fritillary Agraulis vanillae around to mate with in his 4-5 days left of life.
I felt it was better to give him a shot at living by some miracle of nature as opposed to certainly dieing. I'd have loved to keep him to admire after his death but knowing him while he's alive, that seemed less than appealing.
But you know I broke out alll the orange silk fabrics I had at hand for a photoshoot first though! Art before all. (lower right) An abstract vapor of his fluttering on orange silk.
Googling made it easy to discover data about my little Gulf Fritillary Agraulis vanillae and what to do when he emerged.

The Best Thing We Ate for Under $10 This Week: Onderdonk & Son's $7 Burger
Welcome to Cheap Eats NYC, where every week, we'll be highlighting an incredible NYC meal for less than $10. Know of a great all-you-can eat Indian buffet, under-the-radar burger, or other cheap eat in the five boroughs? Let us know in the comments!
There are plenty of great places to get a cheap sandwich in Ridgewood, but there's no better classic cheeseburger than the one served for just $7 at Onderdonk & Sons, a quiet, working-class bar on the corner of Onderdonk Ave and Menahan.
Onderdonk & Sons has all the elements that make Ridgewood an ideal neighborhood for those looking for a refuge from overpriced, cramped Manhattan bars and restaurants. On warm nights, you'll find small groups of friends and regulars sitting on the narrow patio catching up over pints. Inside, the padded booths, comfortable chairs, and buzz of low conversation make the bar feel like a timeless neighborhood watering hole, welcoming even to newcomers. The high seats at the bar are always filled with a healthy mix of older barflies, the young and bearded, and a surprising number of people reading -- and not on their phones.
The kitchen here may be small (as far as food goes, it's pretty much just the signature burger & fries combo), but the burger is truly one of the tastiest and cheapest in the city. It's a totally bare-bones, juicy bar burger, cooked to your liking, topped with either American or cheddar, with no add-ons or substitutions beyond the standard fixings. Sitting at that dark wooden bar, a warm cheeseburger in one hand and a cold beer in the other, surrounded by the kind of people who would never, ever spend $16 on a hamburger, Onderdonk feels like a place completely removed from New York City.
Sign up here for our daily NYC email and be the first to get all the food/drink/fun New York has to offer.

I appreciate everyone reading my blog about pigeon pose, but a dear friend sent me a message on FB and asked about the position of the foot and some other folks texted & emailed similar questions. So I took some pictures last night showing the different foot positions in pigeon.
The main question was "is the foot supposed to be flexed if it's tucked under?"…. and well, no it's not. If it's tucked under then you can't flex it, and if it's tucked under then you dont need to.
Getting your position right (right for you that is) in pigeon has several factors that affect it, how tight or open are your hips? What level of toque are your knees able to take? And hows your core strength?
As you come into Pigeon (we are on the Left side) you want to bring the Left knee forward BUT angled out towards the Left hand. Not dead center of your hands. By taking the knee on an angle your Left foot usually ends up somewhere under the RIGHT thigh. Now assess the pose from here before you go any further…. hows your hip? Is it pretty close to the mat? High up in the air or somewhere in between? Also begin to have a conversation with your knee. Because you can, very slowly and in stages, take the left shin forward, as if someday that shin will be parallel to the front edge of the mat. As the knee creeps forward over time (weeks, months, years perhaps) that's when you begin to flex the foot. As the knee makes it way forward there is more torque and flexing the foot protects that knee.
So here are the pic's, neither is wrong, it just shows the example of when you need to flex the foot.
notice the knee slightly angled and the foot under the thigh
on this one the knee is further out and forward, notice the foot
**and yea we need new carpet or maybe I should just vacuum…nahhh
Om Shanti

The launch of two live streaming video apps has made it easier than ever to stream live video from your phone to your followers on Twitter and beyond.
Meerkat and Periscope (owned by Twitter) are apps that enable you to live stream video whilst at the same time scheduling and sharing your footage via Twitter. These apps are made for Twitter.
Because they are so new users are still testing out how to use them and what they might be good for. I like the fact you can engage Twitter users in the streaming so it looks like they could be useful at events and for interviews. I haven't tried them out yet but have been looking at how they are being used. Currently, Periscope seems to be awash with journalists claiming the app is the future of news!
These are exciting developments which make capturing real-time video and amplifying it across Twitter a reality. It is worth noting that there are other ways to live stream too such as using Ustream or Google Plus to live stream to your Youtube channel.
I've pulled together a list of resources to help understand what the apps do and how to use them. I hope you find them useful!

"Thanks" is a small word with a powerful meaning. Our heartfelt thanks go to all the DI volunteers (nearly 40,000 of you!) for your tireless support and countless hours of work to make Destination Imagination happen for teams around the world. From Team Managers to Officials, our organization is extraordinary in large part due to our incredible volunteer base.
Our volunteers are the glue that holds the program together. You all come to DI with talents and interests that add to the wonderful mix of our Challenges and opportunities, working at virtually every level to power DI, from Appraisers to Tournament volunteers to webmasters.
Our volunteers recruit teams and Team Managers, they organize DI events and trainings, they run Affiliates, and they share their talents and interests through workshops for teams. They set up, run, help at, and clean up tournaments. Our volunteers keep the DI machine running smoothly. That heart for our teams and for each other is something that makes DI unique. At its core, this volunteerism establishes communities within each Affiliate, and also makes us a remarkable global community.
While we say thank you at our Affiliate Tournaments and at Global Finals, you should know that each of your contributions is recognized and appreciated at every step along the way during the DI season and beyond. We are extremely grateful for all your support.
On this National Volunteer Recognition Day, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do for DI students. We could not do what we do without you.

cardio, daily grind, exercise, fab, fit, fitbit, fitness, gadget, health, inspiration, life, squat challenge, training, weight loss
Wednesday was a long and hard day for me at work. I came home around 11:30 pm, and I was short on my step challenge by a lot. Yikes!
In the morning I had done a strenuous one hour arm's workout. I also managed to finish my squat challenge (which was 160 squats for the day) and arm's challenge (which was at some obnoxious level). At night, my fitbit step count for the day was around 8000 steps. My target for this week is 11,750 fitbit steps.
I knew that if I was to make that step count, I would need to go for a walk for at least 45-60 mins. If I ate, walked, showered and then went to bed then I wouldn't be in bed until 1:00 am. In which case, all the king's horses and all the king's men wouldn't be able to get me out of bed at 5:00 am and I will mis gym.
I decided, target or no-target, I am going to bed. It was probably the most sensible decision I made. I woke up rested, went to the gym. I did cardio for one hour (yesterday was rest day for both squat and arm challenges). I got stuck really late at work (came home at 11:00 am). But, I only had 1200 steps left because I had done cardio in the morning. I walked around my living room, met the step challenge for the day and bam, it was all done. One night sleep saved the next day for exercise.
I know, I have said it before but listen to your body. Look at long terms goals (as in ability to exercise the next day) and adapt as you go along. It is important to remember that this is not about one day or five days. It is about life time.

"Johnny Get Your Gun" By John Ball
"Johnny Get Your Gun"
By John Ball
Narrated by: Dion Graham
Series: Virgil Tibbs, Book 3
Length: 5 hrs and 1 min
Release date: 06-25-15
Publisher: Brilliance Audio
Once again the AudiobookSYNC YA summer of free audiobooks has left me with a gem. Once a week every summer they release 2 free audiobooks targeted to the Young Adult market. I had originally started downloading these books for my son and I to enjoy. Now that he's older we share other interests, but my interest in audiobooks will never go away. So, I keep downloading and keep listening. This past summer, there were great selections, but unfortunately the system they use to distribute is not compatible with my system and most of the selections did not completely download. The ones I did manage to download have all turned out to be great reads/listens.
As with most of they SYNC YA summer books, I rarely know too much about the book. The site pairs up 2 books each week, with the books related on some theme. I'm guessing the week this one was downloaded the theme was race relations. I don't know since the second book in the pairing was one lost to the non-compatible systems. There is a summary of each books, much like the Publisher's Summaries I give at the end of each of my reviews. Just enough information to let you know what you are getting into. This one sounded like an interesting read so I tried to download it. It worked.
When the book first starts out we hear of a family just moved to Pasadena, CA from Tennessee. The father is full of anger, and uses the n-word as if it were any other word. (Keep in mind this book takes place in the late '60s when segregation was being fought hard.) We then follow the child in the family whose prize possession is a transistor radio on which he listens to his favorite baseball team the Anaheim Angels. 9 year-old Johnny met Gene Autry (the singing cowboy and owner of the Angels) when he was younger and became a fan of the team, especially the catcher, Tom Satriano. Johnny was saving his money to buy a catcher's outfit to become a catcher and replace Satriano when he grew up.
The problem begins when Johnny's father cuts off a driver on the highway due to road rage and with the impending court date will not be able to take Johnny to an Angels game. Johnny, seeks solace in his radio and takes it to school to listen to the game at lunch. A bully takes the radio away and in the struggle to retrieve it, the radio gets broken. Johnny, knowing that his father would not want him to not let others get the upper hand, goes home and finds his father's gun and threatens to shoot the bully.
Once Johnny phones the bully and let's him know of his plans the police are called. This is where my surprise comes in. The detective assigned to the case is Virgil Tibbs. When I first here the name, I'm struck with the idea that I know this name. Then rolling through my brain is the Sidney Poitier quote, "They call me Mr. Tibbs." After it annoys me enough I look it up and yes it is the same character. This book is a sequel to "In The Heat of the Night." I am now fully onboard and make sure I soak in every detail of this book.
The hunt for Johnny and his father's gun becomes more intense as Johnny shoots through his bully's window, then shoots a teenage black youth. The second shooting becomes what could be the beginning of a racially motivated riot. Virgil Tibbs tracks Johnny down from Pasadena to Anaheim, while trying to sooth racial tension and prevent any further shooting.
The amazing thing about this book, is that reading it nearly 50 years later the racial tensions are still there, guns still get in the wrong hands and bullies still torment children. In other words, this is an unfortunately timeless story in that all the subject matter covered never seems to get resolved.
The narrator performed the audiobook flawlessly and his portrayal of Virgil Tibbs was spot on.
Do yourself a favor and pick up this timeless classic.
Publisher's Summary
Johnny Get Your Gun (also known as Death for a Playmate) is the third in the Virgil Tibbs mystery series that began with In the Heat of the Night. In this story, a nine-year-old boy, lonely after a family move, shoots an older child who stole something from him, thus igniting the militant blacks and racist whites of 1960s Pasadena into a black-white conflict involving riots, brutalities, a chase through Disneyland, and a heart-warming as well as heart-breaking scene toward the end of the book that takes place in a baseball park of the California Angels. Here you will find childhood gone awry, racism that ought to shock but in context does not (we know it too well), and political conflicts that add fuel to the fire.

A native of Chula Vista, Leticia Cazares has a long family and personal history of service in the Southwestern College district going back over 60 years when her parents Norma and Roger Cazares settled into the South Bay and began a life of public service. Leticia is a product of South Bay schools: Rosebank Elementary, Hilltop High School, and Southwestern College (SWC) where her mother Norma was a counselor for 27 years (now retired). After four semesters at SWC, Leticia transferred to the Bay Area ultimately earning her B.A. in Psychology at San Francisco State University in 1998 and later in 2007, a Master's in Public Health at San Diego State University.
Leticia has dedicated over 20 years of her personal life and career to advancing the health and well- being of underrepresented and disadvantaged communities in San Diego, primarily in the South Bay, and the college district. Most of her career has been spent in nonprofit community health for San Ysidro Health (SYH) where she worked to increase access to health care for all, most recently leading a team that enrolled over 16,000 residents in Medi-Cal and low-cost health insurance plans throughout San Diego. During her nearly 15 year tenure at SYH she developed and managed education and prevention programs in the areas of HIV/AIDS, developmental-behavioral pediatrics, women's and senior health; worked to increase equity and diversity among her staff and organization; created systems and programs that were inclusive of staff and community voices and build cross-sector relationships with schools, community organizations and leaders, elected officials and faith groups.
Leticia also has over eight years of policy experience as current Vice President of the Board for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of San Diego & Imperial Counties, a city commissioner for the Chula Vista Cultural Arts Commission; and as a legislative aide for Congressional District 51 (includes SWC district) in the U.S. House of Representatives where she helped to draft legislation for the Veterans Affairs Health Subcommittee and met with constituents from the South Bay/Imperial County.
Today, Leticia is a part-time lecturer at San Diego State University School of Public Health where she educates and advises students on public health career pathways and creates internship/professional development opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. She is also CEO to her small consulting business where she helps community organizations, leaders and women grow and transform their communities. She is currently working with arts and youth-serving organizations including the Old Globe, Outdoor Outreach and others. Recently, she was lead consultant on the development of the San Diego Rapid Response Network, a coordinated countywide network of organizations that educate, assist and defend immigrants and refugees.

Tim Evans from Vancouver got in touch via the busy IK&P press office to tell us about his new 10lb (4.5kg) IK. Made from a super strong, light but expensive wonder fabric called Cuben Fibre which regularly features in discussions at Backpacking Light, the 14-foot IK was made to fill the gap between packrafts like his Yak and super light Supai, and a regular, faster IK.
Having worked on his own gear, Tim's design is based on one of Tom Yost's well-known MYO packboat templates which I've come across in my online travels. He writes:
Commercial inflatable kayaks are much faster [than packrafts], but are too heavy. I don't want to carry more then 30lbs, which has to include the boat, paddling gear, camping gear and food. What I really wanted was a fast IK that weighed 10 pounds or less. It didn't exist (as far as I could tell), so I made one. Here's a video showing the boat.
It's 14 feet long and weighs 10lbs. As you can see in the video, it's a lot faster than a packraft. The key to the light weight was Tom Yost's very simple design concept, modified a bit, and married with the lightest available materials. The hull skin material is very strong, but abrasion resistance is it's weakness. This can be a problem with barnacle encrusted rocks (as I have found) when paddling in the ocean, but in the lakes I made the boat for, there should be few if any sources of abrasion. The skin of the boat weights about 1.6 lbs, interestingly about the same weight as the Supai.
I made the kayak to redo a trip I did last summer in the Supai. I made an inflatable PFD for that trip (left), which I have tested in the water and it supports me quite well. Since I take several inflatable cushions with me anyway, the extra weight for the PFD is just 260 grams for the shell.
[Regarding the poor abrasion resistance] I think it comes down to calculated risk. I always have some kind of backup plan if the worst case happens. While the kayak skin is a bit delicate, I will take various repair tapes and Aquaseal with me. And since I made the boat myself, I should be able to repair it in the field if I have to.
As for stability, the boat is no worse than any other narrowish kayak. But I have one final ace up my sleeve. I will be taking my Supai as a back up boat (right)! At 1.5 lbs, why not. Since I have already done the trip in the Supai, in case the kayak became so damaged as to be unrepairable (which is quite unlikely), I just do the rest of the trip as I did last time. I will stay within a swim of the shoreline of the lakes and the water is not that cold, so a dunking should not be life-threatening. Sure, there are always unforeseeable hazards, but I think life is too short to play it too safe.

UK publishes proposal on future partnership in science & innovation with the EU
On 6 September 2017, the UK government published a paper on science and innovation, as part of the series of papers on the Government's approach to the future partnership with the EU. As the UK leaves the EU, one of the UK's core objectives is to continue to collaborate with European partners on major science, research, and technology initiatives.
Secretary of State David Davis said "this paper sends a clear message to the research and innovation community that we value their work and we feel it is crucial that we maintain collaboration with our European partners after we exit".
