In 1876, James Tissot began exhibiting his work in markets outside London, including the major art centers in Northern England, and today, six of his finest works can be found in museums there.
Tissot displayed The Thames at the Royal Academy exhibition in 1876, the year he painted it. It was attacked by reviewers for The Times, the Athenaeum, the Spectator and the Graphic as depicting a subject they considered thoroughly unBritish – prostitution. What else would the Victorians think of a painting of a rakish officer in a boat with two attractive women and a picnic hamper with three bottles of champagne? The women were perceived as "undeniably Parisian ladies," and the picture itself, "More French, shall we say, than English?"
As A Picnic on the Thames, the painting was owned by Kaye Knowles, Esq. (1835-1886), whose vast wealth came from shares in his family's Lancashire coal mining business, Andrew Knowles and Sons. He owned four oil paintings by James Tissot, including The Empress Eugénie and the Prince Impérial in the Grounds at Camden Place, Chislehurst (c. 1874, Musée Nationale du Château de Compiègne, France) and In the Conservatory (also known as Rivals, c. 1875-1876, Private Collection). Knowles, a client of London art dealer Algernon Moses Marsden [1848-1920, see Who was Algernon Moses Marsden?], owned a large art collection, including works by Sir Edwin Landseer, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Rosa Bonheur, Giuseppe De Nittis, Atkinson Grimshaw, Édouard Detaille.
Later, as The Thames, the picture was owned by a Mrs. Newton – no, not that one! – who lived in London, neé Stella Mary Pearce. The painting, which measures 28.5 x 46.5 in. (72.5 x 118 cm.) was purchased from her by the Wakefield Corporation in September, 1938.
As On the Thames, this painting is on view at the Hepworth Wakefield Art Gallery, Wakefield, England (in West Yorkshire). It is the centerpiece of an exhibit called, "James Tissot: Painting the Victorian Woman", which opened on March 28 and continues through November 3, 2013.
The Convalescent (1875/1876) also was exhibited at the 1876 Royal Academy exhibition. It was offered for sale at Christies in 1881, but returned to the owner when the asking price was not received. It later was owned by Andrew Knowles, from whom it was purchased by the Fine Art Society in January 1949 at Christies for £241 10sh. Museums Sheffield purchased it from the Fine Art Society in June 1949, and it remains in the collection there.
The painting, which measures 30.2 by 39.06 in./76.7 by 99.2 cm., is set in Tissot's garden at 17 (now 44) Grove End Road, St. John's Wood, London. The model is often assumed to be Kathleen Newton (1854–1882), the young divorcée who entered Tissot's life in 1875-76, although Tissot scholar Michael Wentworth identified her as a different woman, a professional model Tissot painted in several pictures including Still on Top (c. 1873) and Chrysanthemums (c. 1874-76).
The Convalescent has been exhibited in Japan (1988), Washington (1990), London (1990), Phoenix (1993) and Indianapolis (1993), and most recently, at the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield (2005 – 2006).
The painting is currently on loan to The Hepworth Wakefield and is due back at Museums Sheffield in October 2013. Unfortunately, there are no plans for The Convalescent to go back on permanent display.
Incidentally, a different version of the work was sold at Christies in 1879. This may be the replica that measures 13 by 8 in./33.02 by 20.32 cm., sold at Christie's, London in 1975 for $ 15,286 USD/£ 6,500 GBP [Hammer price] and in 1982 at Christie's, New York for $ 36,000 USD/£ 21,368 GBP [Hammer price].
One morning in 1979, as staff was arriving at Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery, a man approached them saying he had a rare and valuable painting by French painter James Tissot that he wished to sell them. When they told the museum director of this claim, he reacted with disbelief and was inclined to send the man away. The painting, worth £ 30,000, was Tissot's Portrait of Mrs. Catherine Smith Gill and Two of her Children (1877). At 60.04 by 39.96 in./152.5 by 101.5 cm., it was one of the largest works the artist ever had produced.
Mrs. Gill's husband, Mr. Chapple Gill (c.1833 – 1901/2), was the son of Robert Gill, a Liverpool cotton broker of Knotty Cross and R. & C. Gill; the son joined the business in 1857 and had risen to senior partner [by 1880, he became head of the firm]. He commissioned French painter Tissot, then living in London, to paint a portrait of his wife, Catherine Smith Carey (1847-1916), whom he had married on June 10, 1868 at Childwall. She was the only child of Thomas Carey (1809 – c. 1875), a wealthy, retired estate agent. Tissot's portrait of Catherine Smith Gill shows her – heiress at age 30 – sitting in the drawing-room window of her mother's home at Lower Lee, at Woolton near Liverpool, which was built by Catherine's father. Tissot lived at the red sandstone mansion for eight weeks while painting the portrait, in which he depicts Catherine with her two-year-old son Robert Carey and six-year-old daughter Helen; she was to have another boy and two more girls. It is family lore that Tissot and Catherine developed "a mutual affinity," though Kathleen Newton had been in his life (and resided at his St. John's Wood home) for the past year or two.
The portrait was purchased, with the aid of contributions from the National Art Collections Fund and the Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Grant Fund, from Berkeley Chapple Gill, grandson of Mrs. Gill – the son of the little boy in the painting – in 1979, and it remains on view at the Walker Art Gallery. Click here for an interactive view of it.
The Manchester Art Gallery's collection includes Hush! (The Concert), painted in 1875 and displayed at the Royal Academy exhibition at the height of Tissot's success in London. It depicts a crowded Kensington salon, hosted by Lord and Lady Coope, which features a performer believed to be Moravian violinst Wilma Neruda (1838—1911). Acquired in 1933, Hush! measures 29.02 by 44.17 in. (73.7 by 112.2 cm). and is on display in the Balcony Gallery. [See A Closer Look at Tissot's "Hush! (The Concert)"]
The Warrior's Daughter (A Convalescent), c. 1878), relies, as so many of Tissot's paintings do, on the beauty of model Kathleen Newton. A small picture, it measures only 14 ¼ by 8 11/16 in. (36.2 by 21.8 cm.). Its asking price at the Dudley Gallery, London, in 1879 was £ 125. The Manchester Art Gallery purchased it from the Leicester Galleries, London, in 1925.
The Bridesmaid (c. 1883-85), from Tissot's "La Femme à Paris" series, was exhibited at the
Arthur Tooth Gallery in London in 1886. It sold at Christie's in 1889 for £69.5s.0d and was given to the Leeds City Art Gallery by R.R. King in 1897. Paintings in the series were large, and this one, now on display in Room Five, measures 58 by 40 in. (147.3 by 101.6 cm.). According to an 1885 New York Times article, Tissot intended for the vignettes of his "La Femme à Paris" series to be engraved and illustrated by stories, each to be written by a different author. A letter, now in the Boston Public Library's Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts, from Tissot's old friend, French novelist Alphonse Daudet (1840 – 1897) to French poet and novelist François Coppée (1842 – 1908) asks him to contribute a story based on The Bridesmaid.

Here's an interesting product dedicated to those who love to consume food, specifically nuggets and fries, in their cars. I never eat in my car ever for obvious reasons, but if you do, the DipClip In-car Holder for Ketchup & Dipping Sauces is here to end your nuggets and fries' dry spell once and for all. How? Like those vent-mounted air fresheners, DipClip is designed to clip to the air-con vent of your car and hold a container of ketchup or dipping sauce. Made of engineering-grade ABS plastic the DipClip boasts a 5-in-1 aperture that will hold almost all sauces from major fast food chains, including Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, just to name a few.
In the event your fries or nuggets come with packet sauce instead of box sauce, the kit's included food-safe polypropylene Ramekin will have you covered too, so no fries or nuggets will ever need to be consume dry. Justice has finally arrived for fans of nuggets and fries who felt the need to devour them in an automobile (but why???). I am absolutely a non-fan, but don't let my lack of enthusiasm stops you getting this what-could-be the best invention for a car…interior in this century. Speaking of which, if this piques your interest, you may wish to join the 1,200+ backers who have so far contributed over $25K on Kickstarter in pre-ordering one (or more).
A pledge of $15 or more will secure you a 2-piece DipClip Pack destined for March 2018 delivery. And yes, the campaign is already funded, but really, it is no surprise at all, considering that around 20 percent of all meals are consumed in a car. Yes, really.

One name that has been extremely popular in Latin music for the past thirty six years, is the Argentine band, Pimpinela. Apart from producing several hit singles, they have headlined sold out concerts across the globe and have also appeared in many television shows and films. The duo is now setting out on a tour and will be performing live in Miami soon. You can attend the concert live by having your Pimpinela tickets in hand.
Becoming Pimpinela
Lucía Galán and Joaquín Galán were born in Buenos Aires. They both started following music upon the advice of their parents. Joaquín soon found himself as part of the group, Luna De Cristal with whom he performed cover songs of the legendary bands like, Bee Gees and The Beatles. Meanwhile, Lucía begin to take acting and music classes. She later became a chorister.
The siblings came together and formed Pimpinela when their mother suggested they sing together. Joaquín Galán and Lucía Galán started performing music together in parties, birthdays and family gatherings. They quickly started to gain recognition and signed a record deal with Sony Music. The group's first studio album, 'Las Primeras Golondrinas' was released in 1981. It produced a hit song, Tu Me Prometiste Volver which featured in the television show, 'Fantástico Producido.' A year later in 1982, the duo released their much anticipated second studio album titled, 'Pimpinela.' It received three stars out of five from AllMusic and gave many popular songs including, Olvidame y Pega la Vuelta which featured in the film, 'Los fierecillos se divierten.'
After 1982, Pimpinela went on to achieve great success in the industry. After the release of their third album, Harmanos,' the duo took part in the Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar where they won the Silver Torch. Their fourth studio record, 'Convivencia' soon arrived in the markets. It was also released in the United States. They spent the rest of the decade producing hits and churning out many popular albums like, 'Lucía y Joaquín,' 'El duende azul,' 'Valiente' and 'Ahora me toca a mí.'
Rocking the 90s
Pimpinela continued treating the fans of Latin pop with hit music throughout the 90s. Their first record of the decade, 'Hay amores y amores' came out in 1990. The album spawned a number of hit songs like, Cuanto Te Quiero, De Julio, Cuesta Abajo and Solitario Corazón. Next year in 1991, the duo completed a decade in the industry and churned out, '10 años después' which featured a highly successful single,
Esa Chica y Yo. After a gap of two years in 1994, Lucía Galán and Joaquín Galán came out with their live record, 'titulado Nuestras 12 mejores canciones... en concierto!.' The record featured live versions of their ten songs and also included two new tracks.
Following the release of 'titulado Nuestras 12 mejores canciones... en concierto!' the duo recorded many hit albums and later released their studio effort titled, 'Corazón gitano' in 1999. It earned them a nomination for a Carlos Gardel Award in the category of the 'Best Pop Group.'
They are not done yet
After the 90's concluded, the band not only put out hit records but also wowed the world with their acting skills. They appeared in television shows like, 'Soy Gitano,' 'Mujeres de nadie' and 'Laten Corazones.' Joaquín Galán and Lucía Galán released their latest album one year ago titled, 'Son todos iguales' in 2016. The record featured collaborations with famous Spanish singers, Angela Leiva and Luciano Pereyra.
The recipient of ACE Awards, Pimpinela has spent over thirty years in the music business and they are still not done entertaining you yet. Now, Pimpinela along with Dyango is going on a road trip. They will soon make their stop at the James L Knight Center. This is your chance to enjoy some great Latin Pop tunes live. So, get your Pimpinela tickets now and enjoy the concert.

BOSTON (AP) — A federal appeals court panel has upheld the conviction of a New Hampshire woman found guilty of lying about her role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide so she could obtain U.S. citizenship.
Beatrice Munyenyezi, of Manchester, is serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2013.
One of her lawyers, David Ruoff, said Friday they are still mulling their options after the ruling by the three-judge panel, including whether to ask the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston for a rehearing by the full court. He said they have been unable to reach Munyenyezi, who is in a federal prison in Alabama, to tell her about the ruling.
Munyenyezi's appeal said the trial judge should not have allowed prosecutors to use her testimony before an international war crimes tribunal to show she had a propensity to lie. Her lawyers accused a prosecutor of making false assertions while cross-examining a defense witness and said there was insufficient evidence to convict her.
Munyenyezi also said her sentence was too harsh. But the appeals court rejected all those arguments Wednesday and said the case record makes for "a bone-chilling read."
Munyenyezi was convicted in February 2013 in the Concord, New Hampshire, federal courthouse where she had been granted U.S. citizenship a decade earlier. Her citizenship was stripped upon her conviction.
The jury found she lied about being affiliated with a political party that orchestrated much of the genocide. Witnesses say she helped patrol one of the notorious checkpoints at which those bearing a card identifying them as Tutsis were singled out for rape and murder.
Her husband and mother-in-law were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda for crimes against humanity and other charges.
U.S. District Judge Steven McAuliffe at trial denied defense lawyers' motion for a mistrial. The federal appeals panel upheld that, too, saying the circumstances in Munyenezi's case "do not come within a country mile" of satisfying the "extremely compelling circumstances" standard.

Some common myths often deter people from making compost at home. But by following the How to Make Compost tutorial, the myths evaporate. It's easy to make odor-free, pest-free, garden-healthy compost anywhere. Even if the only vegetable gardening you do is growing a few pots of tomatoes on your patio, making compost is worthwhile. Compost is a gift for the garden and the earth as well.
Myth 1) Compost stinks.
When you know how to make compost with the right mix of ingredients, there is no smell. If you mix about 2-3 parts dry, brown plant material like dried leaves or weeds, with one part fresh green plant material like grass clippings or kitchen scraps, and keep it about as moist as a wrung-out sponge, it will decompose quickly with absolutely no smell.
Myth 2) Composting attracts flies and rodents.
There are now many excellent compost bins available that keep out rodents, and a compost pile made with the correct balance of ingredients will not attract flies.
Myth 3) Composting is a lot of work.
When you know how to make compost with the right balance of ingredients, it will break down all by itself. Depending on what kind of bin you use, composting can happen with no more effort than giving a quick, one-handed spin on the tumbler when you walk by.
Myth 4) A compost pile is hard to manage.
If you follow the basic recipe every time you add things to the compost pile, there is nothing to "manage". Every time you add kitchen scraps to the bin, add about 3 times as much dried leaves. Just water it once in awhile if it's getting dry.
Myth 5) Composting takes too much time.
With the different styles of compost bins available now, you have a choice of how much time it takes. The small, dual-batch compost tumblers take no time at all. You just add scraps and leaves, give it a quick spin, and leave it until the next time you have kitchen scraps to add. Even a large backyard composting operation in traditional open-topped bins, only takes about half an hour, twice (about 3 weeks apart), to turn, mix and aerate the compost.
Myth 6) You need somewhere away from the house for a compost bin.
This myth is associated with two others: that compost stinks and that it will attract flies, neither of which are true. There are sealed compost tumblers that will keep even the most determined critters out, and when you have the right mix of ingredients, flies are not attracted. You can also do worm composting, right inside your house!
Myth 7) Compost bins are pretty much all alike - a bin is a bin is a bin.
There are many styles and sizes of compost bins, and they do not all work alike. Some are designed for adding waste continually at the top, and dispensing finished compost months later in small amounts out a little door at the bottom. Some compost bins are hinged to completely open at the front so you can turn the contents with a fork, and you use these to make a single batch of compost, which "ripens" all at once. Some compost bins are on an axle and tumble, so that you can mix the ingredients up every time you add scraps and leaves. The technique you use depends on the bin you choose.
Myth 8) You can add earthworms to a compost pile to speed it up.
Worm composting works wonderfully, but it's a completely different process than traditional composting. A traditional compost pile is not a good place for worms, because the decomposition process makes it get too hot. A worm bin works on a different principle and you can read about it in the worm composting article.
Myth 9) Adding a handful of soil makes composting faster.
The organisms that break down compost are present on the scraps and leaves you are adding. Adding soil will not speed up decomposition. However, adding soil to you compost is important for another reason: the little bit of clay in most soils has a magnetic quality when it comes to certain nutrients. Add a bit of soil, and these nutrients bind to the clay particles and are prevented from washing away when it rains, while remaining available to the plants when they need them.
Myth 10) If I use fertilizer on my garden, I don't need compost.
There are many benefits of compost, and they are different than fertilizer. Compost helps create important soil structure, optimizes water retention, keeps nutrients from washing away, moderates pH and most importantly, provides necessary microbes that make nutrients available to plants.
Myth 11) If I use compost on my garden, I don't need fertilizer.
Compost provides microbes and some nutrition, plus all the benefits listed above, but unless your soil is already filled with the right balance of complete minerals (see the soil test and organic fertilizer pages), you will still need to amend your soil with organic mineral nutrients until it is balanced.

Family and friends gathered in a Hall to celebrate Theo's birthday. The hall was very spacious and the theme of the party was pirates. I brought my parrot puppet and pirate hat. Oliver's mum had brought a beautiful cake on the pirate theme and also the room was decorated.
The children sat to watch the magic show. They were a lively group of children eager to participate and say the magic words. The children loved the white rabbit also. Some pictures were taken afterwards.
I was all over London because when I finished in Wembley I had to rush to Wimbledon for another show. The traffic was bad and it can be stressful driving long distances but I do not want to let my customers down. I have been performing all over London for many years now and I know many (magical) shortcuts through the back streets!
In Wimbledon I also did a magic show for Micheal's birthday. He was turning five and keen to show everyone how grown up he was. After a funny magic show, in which he was the magician's assistant I organised the children's games. They were very keen on plate spinning and limbo dancing! Some of the adults wanted to join in too. It is not as easy at it looks. Some of the older children started mastering the skill and the party was again a great success with everybody having a good time and enjoying themselves.
In Wimbledon London, SE9 at 2013/01/20

Sure, you could hire someone who has pierced body parts and tattoos for those parts that aren't pierced to try to demystify the phenomenally expanding use of Social Media for your audience.
Successful business people need a speaker who is not a technology geek to be able to explain it to them - in terms they can actually understand.
These business people are fascinated not by the technology (like many Social Media speakers are) but rather by how they can use this expanding trend to actually benefit themselves and their businesses, and how can they use the tools to promote themselves and their businesses on a shoestring budget.
Have an experienced Baby Boomer explain why and how to use Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other Social Media to your Baby Boomers - in ways your audience can actually relate to.
For instance, do you realize that the fastest growth in Facebook users is now among females age 55 to 65?
In our entertaining, fast-paced session, your client will discover:
- A form of marketing that always works
- The differences among the popular Social Media sites
- The correct use of these tools in marketing to their potential clients
- How to get their current clients to sell for them - at no cost

Completing a book review is sometimes not so easy and here's why: reading and understanding a book is one thing; writing a solid review on it is another. When you read a book, you may have the impression that you fully understand it and can even further develop the ideas mentioned in the text. But once you sit down to start composing a review, it seems like all your great ideas elude you just when you need to express them. The point is that a good review isn't a set of ideas and thoughts that you can express in a random order. This type of paper should be a well-structured piece of writing with all parts interconnecting to form a unity based on a single, central message to be communicated to the audience. It may all sound too complicated, but the good news is you can easily get an affordable paper upon placing your order with our cheap book review writing service. The high quality for affordable prices is guaranteed!
Most students from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China and other countries say, "These team is professional to help with writing". Writing in English isn't so easy as writing in Chinese or Arabian as it isn't a native language for most students in the world. That's why our service is 24/7 open who those who need our qualified help. No matter where you are now - in the United Arab Emirates or Europe, apply to our service whenever you need.
If you're a high school, college, or university student, you might have a number of options available for getting help. First of all, you may ask your teacher to assist you with a certain aspect of completing your book review. Probably, your teacher knows best what your weak points in writing are and what you should work on to improve. Your teacher is likely to answer a couple of questions you have, but they won't agree to spend a lot of time holding your hand.
First of all, you're not the only student of theirs who may have questions concerning writing. And second, teachers also have their own important things to do, so they value their free time as much as you do. You may as well ask your peers for help, but no one can guarantee that their answers will be detailed and competent enough. And sometimes you need help with your essay or other assignments. In such a case, none of the options mentioned above will be available. So, is there a way to get competent and professional help exactly when you need it? There definitely is. A custom book review completed by English-speaking experts upon your request can not only save a great deal of your time, but also improve your grades with not much effort.
This academic service will certainly meet your expectations. So, if you are looking for a knowledgeable helper, you can ask "Write my book review for me." By the way, our professional service offers the best quality writing help with any assignment you need. Thus, you can order not only a book review, but, for example, an essay, a dissertation, a term a research paper, a thesis, etc. A cheap custom paper will be written quickly and you will get it online by the date you select in your instructions. In fact, at every top custom content writing website, things work like this: you get essays and other papers prepared by experienced writers exactly when you expect them.
Though we write on more than 30 subjects, the following are the 8 most wanted by students:
When you ask your peers to assist you with a task or even ask a question on a forum, people may help you or they may not. The point is that you don't pay them, so they don't feel obliged to do anything for you. On the other hand, if you pay a person, there's a deal between you. If you hire a competent academic writer from a reliable book review writing service, you pay money, so you expect the content specialist to meet your requirements. Otherwise, you have a full right to request your payment back. It's fair and it's how it works with our trustworthy and cheap book review writing service.
A competent writer will help you get an affordable book review completed from scratch
We believe that among all the available options, hiring a professional writer who can help write cheap book reviews is the best choice.
Just consider the following pros of working with a skillful content specialist:
It's clear that some students would like to save money and download a free book review. What may first seem like a bargain can cause you a lot of trouble. Downloading a free paper is always a lottery: either you win a jackpot or you lose everything. Think of it this way: who can guarantee that one or more of your classmates hasn't downloaded the same paper from the same website? And you definitely know what will happen if you turn in identical papers.
On the other hand, using affordable book review services where you can get papers for sale is the way to go. Yes, you have to pay for them, but in return, you get an original paper written according to all of your instructions. Buy a cheap book review from our reliable website and let an expert solve your writing difficulties in the shortest time.

"Critical art is an art that aims to produce a new perception of the world, and therefore to create a commitment to its transformation. This schema, very simple in appearance, is actually the conjunction of three processes: first, the production of a sensory form of 'strangeness'; second, the development of an awareness of the reason for that strangeness and third, a mobilization of individuals as a result of that awareness."
― Jacques Rancière, Dissensus: On Politics and Aesthetics
New work – Genius Loci
This digital photomontage takes the image of a fly's compound eye, magnified 150 times, I photographed this using a scanning electron microscope. Inserted 'inside' the eye is a window of an old farm building that intrigued me with its dark interior and a small rectangle of light on the opposite wall. It an image of hope.

I have acne. Occasionally, I read online forums because I like knowing the experiences of other people with acne. For example, a long time ago I started using a prescription facial cream and wasn't enjoying the side effects. I wanted to know how long I could expect these to last, so I browsed around some different forums and read dozens of different people's experiences until I'd satisfied my curiosity.
People enthusiastic about 'asking for evidence' might be critical of my decision to take health advice from random strangers on the internet. I think that's a patronising attitude to take. (Disclaimer: I'm a 2016 'Ask for Evidence' ambassador. Please don't fire me.)
I didn't base my decisions on the random strangers alone:
- I asked my GP when I got the medication about side effects
- I read NHS Choices
- I read WebMD
- I asked a Real Dermatologist who I know personally
Discussion forums were one component of my decision to keep using the medication. But they were a very useful one that provided something none of the others did: patient experiences. I think there's something valuable in hearing from normal people as well as medical professionals, and anecdotally from my personal experience the advice given seems pretty good.
how bad is dangerous?
So I really enjoyed this recent paper by Cole et al. (2016): "Health Advice from Internet Discussion Forums: How Bad Is Dangerous?"
The authors selected 25 discussion threads offering health advice about three conditions (HIV, diabetes, and chickenpox) on three websites (Reddit, Mumsnet, and Patient). They then got eight qualified doctors and nine non-doctors to assess how accurate, complete, and sensible the threads were.
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the information provided on the threads was mostly considered to be "reasonably good" with only a small amount assessed as "poor". And even for the "poor" information, the authors noted that:
The forums that contained the most inaccurate or controversial information also contained counterbalancing comments that appear able to dilute the potentially harmful consequences of the poor quality information.
So even when there's bad advice, other people are usually on hand to call it out even if the reader might not pick up on it (which I suspect they often would).
There are a few criticisms that could be made of the study. It's quite small and focused on a small number of conditions (but to be fair it was a pilot study for a PhD). The analysis combines assessments from doctors (58 of 79, 73%) and non-doctors (21 of 79, 27%) which I find slightly confusing as (a) it's such an obvious criticism, (b) it seems it wouldn't be much effort to separate out, and (c) I would doubt it has much of an impact on the conclusions.
The study contributes to existing evidence that the majority of health information online is good (~60-70%) with just a small proportion "genuinely inaccurate" (~5-7%). I look forward to future publications from Cole et al. on this topic. I'd be particularly interested to know what the quality of advice is like on patient websites for specific diseases vs. more general sites like Reddit (guess where the quality of information was most variable?).
(mostly) not terrible
Health advice on the internet is (mostly) not terrible. I think we need to recognise that there's a whole spectrum of medical advice out there: sufferers of a condition sharing their experiences of different drugs is very different from a recommendation to drink bleach to cure multiple sclerosis. Horror stories of bogus companies selling quack cures (and there are many) shouldn't stop us using the internet alongside more traditional healthcare routes e.g. talking to qualified practitioners.
Every day, the internet contributes to the healthcare decisions made by millions of people. That contribution can only rise. Doctors can't do anything about this – and they shouldn't. We should be educating people about how and where to look for advice, not telling them not to.

"Data from all survey results including links to the actual question as it appeared on the discussion forum website " is available…

Lung hilum
The lung hila or roots are found on the medial aspect of each lung. The left and right lung roots are similar but not identical.
Gross anatomy
Left hilum
In the left hilum the left pulmonary artery occupies the upper part. Below this is the left main bronchus. There are two pulmonary veins, one lies in front, and the other lies below the left main bronchus.
Right hilum
In the right hilum the bronchus of the upper lobe and the branch of the right pulmonary artery to the upper lobe originate prior to entering the hilum. Thus, the upper lobe bronchus and artery are found above the level of the right main bronchus and right pulmonary artery. The arteries lie in front of their respective bronchi. The two pulmonary veins are similar to that of the left side, one in front and one below the right main bronchus.
The structures of the lung hilum are enclosed in a sleeve of pleura continuous below with the pulmonary ligament.
In addition to the structures described above, each root contains bronchial vessels, autonomic nerves, lymph nodes and lymphatic channels.

To me, this isn't a problem specific to the grocery industry or even Big Organics. This is more of a problem with how our economy is set up. We reward stores that resemble the corporate structure, even if they're advocating something that theoretically liberal. Consumers look for chain stores because that's what's familiar. We really don't give much credit or support to independent retailers. Instead, it's not enough to be a good corner store. If you have a good business model, you aren't supposed to inspire other store owners in other cities, you're supposed to form a franchise and open up your own stores in other cities. We're far too dependent on the brand name.
In defending the merger from a challenge by the Federal Trade Commission, Whole Foods claimed it faces plenty of competition from conventional grocers such as Kroger and Safeway, as well as superstores such as Wal-Mart -- all of which are scrambling to grab a piece of the growing organic pie.

Cleavage At Work
Personally, I've never believed a woman has to make a choice:
1. feminine
2. successful
Pick only one of the above.
I've always been a believer that a woman should be her full feminine self at the office. I'm into what I call "feminine-ism" - which unlike some of the hardcore "feminism" I knew growing up- "feminine- ism is about being feminine and powerful both - in one tasty spoonful.
Hm. Notice which ranks higher on her list? It's unclear what her message is, because she says that women who are good will get promoted no matter what they look like (I'm not sure that's true) but then says, "if you're a business woman reading this blog -- remember -- cleavage IS power - and you must be aware of using your cleavage power responsibly!" Her advice subtly implies that women should dress sexy to succeed.

Presto! Gender Gap Reversed!
While it's certainly good news that women are making leaps in closing the education gap, I tend to think that this doesn't actually translate to equality in wages or status. The same goes for the labor participation factor. Sure, women around the world are working more, but they're working for extremely low wages. The claim that, "More couples will have a more educated wife whose income earning capacity will exceed that of their husbands" is rosy and optimistic. I'm no economist, but I think this will actually be a much slower transformation than Hausmann seems to predict.
Political Alamony
In most cases, the tie has been broken by death. In South Asia, which seems to lead the world in female national leaders, violent death is invariably a factor. In Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, a total of four female heads of state have come to power in the wake of male relatives' assassination; in India, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru's daughter, was herself assassinated, as was her son and successor, Rajiv. (Her daughter-in-law, Sonia, now heads the ruling Congress Party.) Burma's imprisoned opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is the daughter of the assassinated independence leader Aung San. And the father of Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan's two-time and perhaps future Prime Minister, was a Prime Minister whose life ended at the gallows; her return to Karachi last week was marked by a suicide-bomber attack that claimed more than a hundred lives.
In the United States, the widow-of and daughter-of pattern has been gentler. Of the two hundred and forty-four women who have served in the House and the Senate, forty-six succeeded their husbands and twelve their fathers. The wife-of, as distinct from widow-of, method of conferring power has been a relatively minor theme, found mostly in the nether parts of the country—one thinks of Governors Ma Ferguson, of Texas, and, especially, Lurleen Wallace, of Alabama, through whom George ruled when term limits forced him out of the state house.
He notes that Hillary Clinton is different because she was pretty successful all on her own. The thing is, though, that women who are successful all on their own don't seem to make it as far as the women who are successful, but then take over for their dead or retired husbands. Would Clinton be running for office if she weren't a Clinton, but just Hillary Rodam? It's hard to say, but my guess is probably not. Unfortunately, we still live in a world where women can be hugely successful on their own, but to really make it in political office, they have to tailgate on the roles of their men.
It's true that this makes sense on one level. Marriages are partnerships, and it makes sense that when one of the partners can no longer carry on a political agenda, then the other might take up the cause. But I'm waiting for the day when men ride in on the coattails of their wives. As of yet, I haven't really seen it.

Re: Che
But the bigger point here is this: Kirchick has written Che Guevara off as "evil." This is a pretty dangerous thing when you're talking about leaders, whether current or historical. The world, much as people like to think, isn't made up of "good guys" and "evil" leaders. It's a good way of dehumanizing opposition. I recall the word "evil" applied many times to Saddam Hussein before (and after) the invasion of Iraq. I was trying to look at Guevara as a human being, and a very imperfect one at that. Forgive me for trying to have a nuanced view of this infamous historical figure.

Sick of the Global War on Terror
Five Minutes with Greenpeace
I haven't read the book. But as far as the discussion that it has provoked, it was useful in that it was critical of the mainstream environmental movement. Criticism can always be useful.
I watched Shellenberger and Nordhaus present their thesis at a conference in Middlebury, Vermont. They leveled their criticism at national environmental groups and then at local groups. They pretty much said, "A pox on all your homes," and, "We don't really have the answer." [They believe that] all these [progressive] issues need to be rolled into one—sort of a rainbow coalition of gay rights and anti-war and anti-global warming and jobs.
But that's not how things work. Historically, people pick an issue and they win on that. They don't link it to another issue and another and another and another to make it more powerful—that makes it weaker. And so I thought their premise was incorrect. It was rather sloppy.
Read the whole thing here.

Musings on Clinton
As a feminist, I recognize Clinton's accomplishments, but I also recognize her failings and hawkishness when it comes to foreign policy. But with endless stories about her gender, and her appeals to women based on her gender, it's really hard for gender to not be a factor in the election. The Globe story pointed out things I've found to all be anecdotally true. For example, "But analysts also see a political calculation: She is less popular among older, married women who are more likely to prefer a more traditional role for women. Clinton's focus on women this week was a bid to consolidate her support among female voters, who account for much of her lead in many polls." I heard a friend recently refer to a Midwestern relative that fits this description exactly. Come to think of it, my mom might, too. It's frustrating, though, to see women be so judgmental of other women. Men's personal lives (see Rudy Giuliani) have little to do with their professional electability.
Calculated by the Clinton campaign or not, I wished I lived in a world where I didn't have to read such stories and could judge candidates on their policy proposals and experience, rather than on their gender or personas. It seems, though, that I will have to endure this for as long as Clinton is running for president, and perhaps if another woman runs for president, too.

Code Pink Clashes with Camo
To me, especially because the military is entirely composed of people who choose to be there, this is really significant. By tapping into that pro-military antiwar sentiment, it sort of gives a legitimacy to the movement that it hasn't previously had. In a lot of ways, I feel like the antiwar movement has matured since the 1960s. Those who favor withdrawl draw up well-thought-out plans on how it can be done and carefully weigh the consequences. The movement has acknowledged that the military serves an important role, in a way that the hippie antiwar movement of the 1960s isn't represented (at least as far as I can tell).
But Code Pink positions themselves as radical. They use inflammatory tactics like calling Donald Rumsfeld a "war criminal" (and I acknowledge that these accusations aren't groundless). They try to, as the story from Berkeley shows, shut down a military recruiting station. I've written before about my complicated feelings about Code Pink. Sometimes I find their methods irritating, and I wish they would offer up real alternatives rather than simply calling people war criminals.
Not everyone that serves in the military kills people, but some of them do. Identifying that the military serves a complicated function in our country could go a long way in legitimizing the Code Pink antiwar protesters.

Stephanie Coontz, a marriage historian and Ladies' Home Journal contributing editor, said ratings for the twice-divorced Giuliani appeared to be a sign "people are willing to give male politicians, at least, a second, or even third, chance at happiness."
Clinton's relatively low score is a sign that women are more harshly judged than men for not having a happy marriage, Coontz said.
She said Hillary Clinton is blamed for "not packing up and leaving her husband" after he had an extramarital affair with a White House intern.
Happy Death Day, Che.
Read the whole thing.
At best, Guevara's politics advocated for a mindless devotion of the working man (with an emphasis on "man") to socialism, but left out other causes many progressives have worked long and hard for: equality for gender and sexual orientation. In fact, gays were persecuted following the Cuban revolution. (Poet and novelist Reynaldo Arenas, who included descriptions of his openly gay lifestyle in his writings, was killed as the result of the government's prosecution of gays.)Guevara was raised with a Catholic outlook on life, in which the "good" girls saved themselves for marriage. Wealthy Argentine boys tended to sexually exploit the family mucama, or servant girl, and Guevara was no exception. [Jon Lee] Anderson tells of a cousin who once "watched in astonishment from his place at the dining table through the open doors leading to the kitchen as Ernesto had quick sex with the muchama on the kitchen table, directly behind their aunt's unsuspecting back."

Here's My Question
Banning the Archbishop
Officials said St. Thomas is being more careful about appearances since Ann Coulter came to their campus in 2005. That's right. They're responding to a controversial speaking event that featured Ann Coulter by banning Desmond Tutu. Sounds like their either overcompensating or they're practicing good old bias against the left at a conservative Catholic university.
The Strib reported that university officials said "that local Jewish leaders they consulted felt that Tutu had made remarks offensive to the Jewish people in a 2002 speech about Israeli policy toward the Palestinians." I saw Archbishop Tutu when he spoke on the University of Minnesota campus in 2003. He then compared the situation of Palestinians to apartheid in South Africa. Perhaps not such an inaccurate comparison, since Palestinians are more or less held hostage within a state where they have no legal status.
Arguments about Israel aside, it seems silly to go around banning peaceful figures because they're too controversial. The whole point of events like bringing controversial speakers in is to foster discussion and open up students minds to encountering something outside a narrow tunnel vision. I have to say I'm with the protesters who hold up a large banner that said, "Let Tutu speak!"

Moderate Bias on Campus
Both Inside Higher Ed (free) and the Chronicle of Higher Education (sub. req.) highlight a study (PDF) by assistant professors at Harvard and George Mason universities. This study is slightly more valid than what's been thrown around in conservative circles by people like David Horowtiz in recent years. What the study shows is that while the numbers of self-identified conservative professors are low--under 10 percent--the number of moderate professors is growing and the number of liberal professors is declining.
So what does this all mean? Inside Higher Ed cited Larry Summers' analysis (yes, that one), "pointed to a problematic liberal domination at elite research universities."
What's confusing to me is why this is "problematic." No one surveys investment bankers, although they mostly all are likely to come out somewhere in the libertarian camp. No one surveys social workers for "liberal bias." To me, how a person identifies politically has very little to do with his or her job. But in the last couple of decades, both professors and journalists have come under fire for having political beliefs.It's confusing to me, though. After all, the people who read newspapers are mainly grownups, and all the people taking classes at major universities and colleges are at least 18--legal adults. What this suggests is a kind of infantalization of grownups: They can't think for themselves, so we have to make sure there's no bias whatsoever in college classes or newspapers.

My Roommate Observes
- The reason Ugly Betty will fall back in love with Henry is because he can't get a job in Tuscon and therefore doesn't have health insurance for his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
- Controversy over Ann Coulter's "women shouldn't vote" comment just proves how bankrupt the conservative movement really is. Republicans truly are the party of the white man.

Screwed out of GI Benefits
Friday Minnesota Senate Horserace Blogging
Franken right now is positioning himself as the anti-Coleman -- people are sick of the war, so they should be sick of Coleman, too. While that's all useful, he should also be positioning himself as a true progressive, one in the vein of Paul Wellstone. That name still carries a lot of weight with Minnesotans, so carrying on the tradition begun by him would be a good thing.

For $25 a day (or $175 a month for a 3 day/week commitment), you can drop into the space, use the wireless, meet with clients in the small glassed-in conference room, and, often, find folks to grab a drink with afterward. The feel is part dorm lounge, part ad agency and part cybercafe, and it's a hit.I have a number of friends who are either full-time freelancers or have flexible enough jobs that they don't have to go into the office regularly. This always drove me nuts, since I'm the type of person that needs structure to help me get things done. In college when I set my own office hours as an editor, I rarely made it to them. I'm not disciplined enough on my own to work well with that kind of flexibility. Furthermore, the contracting trend tends to lose office collegiality and social interaction that comes with having a physical work location. But having a place to go like this seems to be a good solution for people who want social interaction and to get out of the house. What innovation.
Wal-Mart and Birth Control
This seems to me a matter of necessity. Wal-Mart appeals to the religious conservatives for its bill as the American Dream, but customers to the store are overwhelmingly in the low-income bracket. If the company is willing to offer much-needed birth control to those who often have the most difficult time getting it, it's hard for me to not see this as a good thing. I will, however, wait for individual pharmacists to start refusing the drugs to women thanks to some pretty sexist legislation.

What does it mean to be faithful to the text of the Bible? For Peter Enns it means understanding the Bible according to the lens of skeptical scholarship (including evolution):
- So, things like genomic studies, the fossil record, and ancient Mesopotamian creation myths help us see that the genre of Genesis 1-11 is not science or history.
Reconsidering our interpretation of the Bible is a healthy and Godly thing. However, it seems that Enns wants us to do this through an unbiblical lens and an alien authority:
- The findings of science and biblical scholarship are not the enemies of Christian faith. They are opportunities to be truly "biblical" because they are invitations to reconsider what it means to read the creation stories well—and that means turning down a different path than most Christians before us have taken.
According to Enns, what does it mean to be "truly biblical?" To see it for what it is – an errant document, which requires some tweaking. However, instead of the Bible being placed under the authority of the scholars, the Bible is to place all other claims under its own scrutiny:
- The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
Spiritual warfare is a matter of placing all of our thinking, saying, and doing under the authority of God's Words.
How then can Enns, who had once taught at Westminster Theological Seminary until he was discharged because of his defective view of the Scriptures, justify subjecting Scripture to the skeptics? Enns assumes that the Bible contains many errors. Well, how do we determine which historical statements are true? Through his experts! For example, they claim that Jonah was written after the exile to Babylon and its history represents a revision according to their theological "growth":
- The prophet Nahum rejoices at the destruction of the dreaded Assyrians and their capital Nineveh in 612 BCE, but the prophet Jonah, writing generations later after the return from exile, speaks of God's desire that the Ninevites repent and be saved.
By assigning a very late date to Jonah, Enns denies its historical accuracy. However, Jesus did not:
- He [Jesus] answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here. (Matthew 12:39-41)
Unlike Enns, Jesus affirmed the historical accuracy of Jonah. Neither did the first commentary to which I turned. It dated Jonah more in keeping with Scripture's many assertions that is entirely God breathed (2 Tim. 3:16-17):
- Since 2 Kings 14:25 relates Jonah to the reign of Jeroboam II, the events in the Book of Jonah took place some time in Jeroboam's reign (793-753 b.c.). Jonah's prophecy about Israel's boundaries being extended may indicate that he made that prophecy early in Jeroboam's reign. This makes Jonah a contemporary of both Hosea and Amos (cf. Hosea 1:1; Amos 1:1). Jonah's reference to Nineveh in the past tense (Jonah 3:3) has led some to suggest that Jonah lived later, after the city's destruction in 612 b.c. However, the tense of the Hebrew verb can just as well point to the city's existence in Jonah's day. (The Bible Knowledge Commentary)
Should we interpret the Bible in accordance with Enns' alleged errors or in accordance with the consistent claims of Scripture that it is entirely God-given (2 Peter 1:19-21)? Enns also claims that there are inaccuracies in the historical books:
- In fact, Israel's entire history is given a fresh coat of paint in the books of 1 and 2 Chronicles, which differs remarkably, and often flatly contradicts, the earlier history of Israel in the books of Samuel and Kings.
However, in the talk that he gave at Michigan State, based on his new book, How the Bible Forces Us to Be Unbiblical, he cites no alleged contradictions. However, he claims that Israel's later reworking of their history gives us license to also rework the Bible in light of recent scholarship. After all, even Jesus reshaped Scripture with "fresh twists":
- I could go on and talk about how the theology of the New Testament positively depends on fresh twists and turns to Israel's story, such as a crucified messiah and rendering null and void the "eternal covenant" of circumcision as well as the presumably timeless dietary restrictions given by God to Moses on Mt. Sinai. What happened? Jesus forced a new path for Israel's story that went well beyond what the Bible "says."
Well, if Jesus went beyond the Bible, so can we! Indeed, there are several instances where certain features of the Old Covenant are called "eternal." (Interestingly, the Mosaic Covenant is never called "eternal," while all of the other covenants are called "eternal.")
Some have argued that "eternal" has several meanings as does almost any word. In this case, "eternal" might mean "to endure throughout the time of the Old Covenant. Perhaps instead, these features are eternal in terms of their spiritual fulfillment. For example, circumcision might be eternal in the form the circumcision of the heart.
In any event, the consistent promise of the coming of the New meant a termination of the Old Covenant:
In any event, the consistent promise of the coming of the New meant a termination of the Old Covenant:
- "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Heb. 8:13)
Jesus wasn't inventing new ideas; He was drawing His theology from the Old – from what was prophesied to come! In fact, He only had the highest regard of the Scriptures, explicitly claiming that they couldn't simply by bypassed:
- "Do not think that I
have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish
them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth
disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by
any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
(Matthew 5:17-18)
Jesus did not set Himself above Scripture as its judge to decide which verses were truly inspired, as does Enns. Instead, He received it all as God's Word. If Jesus had regarded the Word as errant in some respect, He would never have said "until everything is accomplished." Instead, He might have said, "Until every part that is WITHOUT ERROR is accomplished." Rather, He continually insisted that everything had to be fulfilled.
When tempted by the Devil, He relied exclusively on Scripture:
- Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4)
Enns claims that because Jesus went beyond Scripture, we can also. However, there is no evidence that Jesus had gone beyond Scripture. Instead, He reprimanded those who failed to pay sufficient attention to Scripture:
- He said to them [on the Emmaus Road], "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself… He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. (Luke 24: 25-27, 44-45)
Notice how Jesus opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, rather than His own words. Instead, Enns would open our minds to go beyond Scripture into the arms of the skeptic.
However, whenever Jesus quoted from the Scriptures, it was always affirming what Scripture had said. Never once did He disparage Scripture. Instead, He castigated those who didn't know the Scriptures:
- Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. (Matthew 22:29)
They didn't know Scripture because they didn't esteem it, despite their protestations to the contrary:
- "But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" (John 5:45-47)
In contrast, Enns would have us subject Scripture to the authority of the skeptics. Consistent with his approach, he believes in evolution. Consequently, he is forced to deny the historicity of the early chapters of Genesis in order to accommodate to evolution. However, Jesus affirmed their historicity:
- He [Jesus] answered [the Pharisees regarding divorce], "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female [quoting Gen. 1:26-27], and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh' [Gen. 2:24]! So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has [historically] joined together, let not man separate." (Matthew 19:4-6)
Had not God historically and actually joined together the man and the woman, Jesus' argument against divorce would have fallen apart. To reject Jesus' view of Scripture as entirely God-given is to reject Jesus' teachings, and this is precisely what Enns does:
- Simply put, seeing the need to move beyond biblical categories is biblical—and as such poses a wonderful model, even divine permission—shall I say "mandate"—to move beyond the Bible when the need arises and reason dictates.
There is no "divine permission" to go beyond Scripture. Paul explicitly stated to not "go beyond what is written (1 Cor. 4:6). Nevertheless, Enns claims that he has a higher view of Scripture than the rest of us, because he claims that he takes Scripture for what it is – an errant document, which requires modern scholarship and "reason" to separate its wheat from the chaff. Instead, to have a biblical view of Scripture is to adopt Jesus' view of Scripture – the very view we find throughout the NT.

The subject of traveling is very important to me and realistically I could dedicate and entire website to my thoughts, experiences, and goals relating the the matter. In this page I will do my best to keep it simple and to the point. As stated above please contact me if you have questions, comments, or would like to chat about anything.
Traveling is something that we all can and should do more of. Looking back at the past few years I see clearly that the exposures, experiences, and perspectives I have received while traveling have strongly contributed to who I am and what I want to do with my life. In 2008 when I decided to get out of the rat race and follow my heart, I gave away most of my possessions and was extremely excited to take a leap into the unknown. I had no idea of the experiences that were waiting for me, all I knew was that it felt right and working the same job day after day while filling the pockets of the corporation and management was not fulfilling and I was not happy.
At the time I didn't fully comprehend the significance of what I was doing. Looking back at who I was when I left and comparing to who I am now is an amazing thing. If I were to meet the me from that time, I dont think I would know who I was. What I mean by that is the path the I set off on brought me into being who I am at this exact moment in time, and I am so happy and grateful to be the person I am.
Another thing I feel is very important to note is what traveling actually is to me. I am not talking about the two weeks off you get per year (if you are lucky) spent on a quick "vacation". I am talking about really surrendering to the experience, spending larger amounts of time, and integrating into cultures to get a real perspective of how it is instead of the tourist version.
