Don't miss these natural phenomena in Namibia
Namibia is known for its wildlife parks where you can spot many different gazelles species and the Big 5. But the country has so much more natural beauty to offer! From 1500-year-old plants and the largest seal colony in Africa to endless sand dunes and a fossil forest. We made a list of 10 unique natural phenomena in Namibia that you should definitely not miss on your trip!
#1 Welwitschia Mirabilis
The most famous plant in Namibia is the Welwitschia Mirabilis, a plant that can survive in the desert under the most harsh conditions. It takes decades for the plant to grow, while it does not often produce young plants. The seeds of the Welwitschia germinate only under the perfect conditions with a lot of rain, so only once every few years or even decades. But if you are careful enough on the Welwitschia, it can grow over 1,500 years old! You can spot the Welwitschia in the coastal areas, mainly in Damaraland and around Swakopmund. The oldest and largest can be visited during a tour close to Swakopmund which is appropriately called the Welwitschia Drive.
#2 Lichen
Lichen is a unique combination of an alga and a fungus. They can not survive without each other. The 'plant' occurs in all kinds of colours, but the orange one is the most well known. It takes decades for lichen to grow, so damage to it will not quickly recover. That is also the reason that there are not many brightly coloured lichen fields in Namibia left.
You can spot lichen in smaller quantities on stones in coastal areas, as in the photo below. Beautiful lichen fields can still be found near the coastal town of Hentiesbaai, just north of Swakopmund.
#3 Petrified forest
In prehistoric times trees from Central Africa were brought to Namibia by a glacier, where they petrified under the pressure from the glacier and soil. Until they surfaced after several hundreds of years! Because of the weathering of the soil around it, numerous petrified trees in Damaraland – in the north-west of Namibia – surfaced.
Most trees are located along the C39, about 45 kilometers from the town of Khorixas. Everywhere along the road you'll find signs indicating 'petrified forest'. Don't head to the unofficial parks at the farms, but go to the national park. You pay 100 Namibian dollars entree fees per person. That includes a guide, as you can not walk around here by yourself.
Also nice: there are many Welwitschia plants here as well, so with a bit of luck your guide will also tell you all about them!
#4 The sand dunes of the Sossusvlei
Endless sand dunes, mysterious dead acacia trees against an unearthly backdrop and magical sunsets make the Sossusvlei National Park one of the most visited places in Namibia. You can watch a beautiful sunset and sunrise from the enormous sand dunes. Also visit the 'vleis' between the dunes. There you have a spectacular sight of a white clay soil, red sand dunes and fossilized acacia trees. Especially the Deadvlei is a must!
Do you want to admire more sand dunes? There are many more around Swakopmund. Here you can also drive a squad or go sandboarding in the dunes!
#5 Organ pipes
The organ pipes are peculiar sharp angled rock formations. They would not look out of place in a museum of modern art. The pressure of an underground volcano that never erupted, pushed up these rocks with such force that this formation arose. Normally erosion creates round shapes in nature, so these walls with unearthly sharp edges. A unique sight!
Access to the organ pipes costs 50 Namibian dollars per person. You can also visit the 'burnt mountain' one kilometer further. The mountain has been blackened by the heat of lava. It is supposed to be most spectacular in the morning or late afternoon light, but in the full daylight you will probably not be impressed by the mountain.
#6 Cape Cross
There are many seal colonies in Namibia, but not one of them is as big as Cape Cross. With 100,000 seals this is the largest in whole of Africa. The penetrating smell and the immense noise certainly make an impression. We visited Cape Cross in January and saw hundreds of baby seals crawling along the coast. It is impressive how a wave against the coast could knock away dozens of baby seals, that then had to make another attempt to get on land.
Cape Cross is located about 130 kilometers north of Swakopmund. The entrance costs – as in all national parks – 80 Namibian dollars per person and 10 Namibian dollars for a vehicle. You can park you car close to the colony and then walk over wooden platforms with a fence over, through and between the seals.
#7 Fish River Canyon
One of the greatest sights in southern Namibia is the Fish River Canyon, an impressive snake-like canyon in the Namibian landscape. More than 150 kilometers long and 27 kilometers at its widest, it is one of the largest canyons in the world. It is said that only the American Grand Canyon is bigger.
You can go for a five-day hike in the canyon to fully take in the grandeur of this place. The alternative is to visit one or more of the many viewpoints along the canyon and to marvel at the cliffs and curves. It is unique that the Fish River Canyon is much visited, but not touristy at all. The most famous viewpoint is perhaps a bit crowded in high season, but in other places you will be able to sit on the edge of the canyon undisturbed to absorb the natural beauty in peace.
#8 Quiver trees
Is it a tree? Is it a plant? The quivertree – or kokerboom in Afrikaans – is related to the famous aloe vera. This is clearly visible from the spiked 'leaves' that stand out beautifully against a setting sun or bright blue sky. The tree can survive in the dry conditions of the Namibian desert and is therefore a typical natural phenomenon of this area. Fun fact: the 'Afrikaanse' name kokerboom comes from the use of the hollow branches for arrows by the Bushmen.
You can see the quivertree close to Keetmanshoop. Perhaps the highest concentration can be found in the 'Quivertree Forest' on a ranch near Keetmanshop, where there are tame cheetahs, lodges and a camping site as well. We camped here for one night and listed this one of the coolest sleeping spots in Namibia!
#9 Brukkaros volcano
The Brukkaros volcano is huge! You can clearly see its circle on every map and from the plane the volcano is hard to miss as well. The volcano is no longer active; the crater was created with one single explosion when lava came into contact with groundwater. This explosion about one kilometer below the surface of the earth, created a huge crater with ridges of about 650 meters high in the middle of the flat landscape.
Brukkaros is in the south of Namibia. It's a 4,5 hour drive from Windhoek and more than one hour from Keetmanshop. With a solid 4WD you can drive up the volcano where you can camp under the most beautiful starry sky. You can also make a beautiful hike from the campsites to the crater. Do not expect a particularly volcanic sight there. You will not see any lava or get a look at the interior of the earth. During your walk through the crater, make sure you notice the white crystals lying everywhere on the ground. Many rocks also glistening in the sunlight because of the white and dark-colored crystals in it!
So just think: sleeping on a volcano. On a place where observatories have stood, because the stars are so bright. Without runing water or electricity, just you, the old volcano and the stars. Doesn't that sound amazing?
#10 Giant's Playground
Close to the Quiver Tree Forest you'll find another unique natural phenomenon. The Giant's Playground is a place where all laws of nature seem to have been pushed aside. Huge stone piles are scattered here. As if a giant has been playing with the stones and stacked them onto each other. It is more likely that the stones are shaped like this because the rocks around it have aroded while the stones were preserved. A playing giant does seem like a more logical explanation, when looking at the enourmous play box.

Created by former Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company dancer Heidi Latsky, ON DISPLAY addresses our propensity to judge people by their physical appearance. On each of four days, more than 30 local performers representing the dance and disability communities will place themselves on display in this commentary on the body as spectacle and society's obsession with body image. The performers draw attention to the complex relationship between viewer and viewed, an attention that permeates the everyday existence of people who are different in some way.
Related films will be screened on a loop in the Barbara Lee Family Foundation Theater on the days of the ON DISPLAY performances.
SOLILOQUY is about 15 minutes and will be screened between two different sections of ON DISPLAY.

Q: Symmetry in program for ewald summation The formula for Ewald summation as given in Allen and Tildesley -
$$
U = U^{(r)} + U^{(k)} + U^{(bc)} + U^{self}
$$
where the k-space contribution of potential is given by
$$
U^{(k)} = \frac{1}{\pi L^{3}}\sum_{\textbf{k}\ne0} \frac{4\pi^2}{k^2}\text {e}^{-\frac{k^2}{4\kappa^2}}|S(\textbf k)|^2 \qquad S(\textbf k) = \sum_{i=1}^N z_i\text{e}^{i\textbf{k}.\text{r}_i}
$$
Now in all the subroutines including the one given by Allen and Tildesley, the summation over $\vec{k}$ is done in such a way that $k_x$ has some special symmetry. Initially they choose $k_y$ and $k_z$ to be from $-n$ to $n$ where $n\in \mathbb Z_+$. But they choose  in $k_x$ to be from $0$ to $n$ and then later multiply the contribution by 2. What is the reason behind this ? If alter this, and choose $k_x$ also in the same way as $k_y$ and $k_z$ will it change the calculation ?

A: This is a trick used to save time when doing the acctual computation by taking advantage of symmetry in the problem.
Note that $k^2$ is an even function (invariant under ${\bf k}\to-{\bf k}$) and the norm of the fourier transform of the lattice function $|S({\bf k})|^2$ is also an even function since
$$S({\bf k}) = \sum_i q_i e^{i{\bf k}\cdot {\bf r_i}} \implies |S({\bf k})|^2 = \sum_{i,j} 2q_iq_j\cos({\bf k}\cdot({\bf r_i - r_j}))$$
and $\cos(x) = \cos(-x)$ so the whole summand is even. We can therefore replace the sum over $k_x\in[-n,n]$ in $\sum_{{\bf k}\not=0}g(k)|S({\bf k})|^2$ by a sum over $k_x>0$ by adding a factor of $2$. See the example below for how this works.
Note that we can not apply this trick to all coordinates (i.e. consider only $k_x,k_y,k_z\geq 0$ and multiply by $8$) since vectors with two negative numbers like $(-2,-3,5)$ plus the symmetry ${\bf k} \to -{\bf k}$ is not enough to cover all the gridpoints we want to sum over. This is why they only apply it to one of the coordinates $k_x$, however you can do the same for $k_y$ or $k_z$ instead of $k_x$ and get the same result.
You are also free to consider all $k_x\in[-n,n]$ (and not multiply by $2$) if you want and this will give the same result, but it will take twice the time to compute.

A simple example. Consider $n=1$ so $k_x,k_y,k_z\in\{-1,1\}$. The sum over the $(n+1)^3 = 8$ grid-points is
$$\matrix{\sum_{k_x,k_y,k_z\in\{-1,1\}} f({\bf k}) &=& f(-1,-1,-1) + f(1,1,1)\\ &+&f(-1,-1,1)  + f(1,1,-1)\\
&+&f(-1,1,-1)  + f(1,-1,1)\\
&+&f(-1,1,1)   + f(1,-1,-1)\\}$$
Since $f$ is even, $f({\bf k}) = f(-{\bf k})$, we see that the two terms on each line above is equal so
$$\matrix{\sum_{k_x,k_y,k_z\in\{-1,1\}} f({\bf k}) &=& 2f(1,1,1)\\ &+&2f(1,1,-1)\\
&+&2f(1,-1,1)\\
&+&2f(1,-1,-1)\\&=& 2 \sum_{k_z,k_y,k_z\in\{-1,1\},~~k_x > 0} f({\bf k})}$$

Arystotelesowisko-tamistyczna zasada ruchu wobec współczesnych nauk przyrodniczych
Principle of Motion of Aristotle and St Thomas and Contemporary Natural Science
The article is a continuation of the paper Aristotle's Idea of Motion in "Roczniki Filozoficzne", vol. 17 (1969), no. 3. Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas stressed several times the significance of a principle of motion: "anything that moves is moved by something else". This is a metaphysical principle resulting from a principle of compatibility. The author polemizes with these who question the universality of a principle of motion, referring usually to contemporary physical theories. In Poland K. Kłósak and T. Wojciechowski: 1. postulate revision of Aristotle's definition of motion, 2. they restrict a range of a principle of motion, 3.they accept a possibility of self-activating in microcosmos phenomena, for instance, dying-out of radioactive substances.The author polemizes with the mentioned above authors pointing out a constant validity of Aristotle's and St Thomas' principle of motion. Some Thomists (S. Ziemiański) hold that the defence of a principle of motion should be undertaken first of all in philosophy. The author, referring to the texts of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, shows the everlasting significance of this principle in the field of philosophy as well as in natural science. This also was the method of St Thomas who, in Contra Gentiles, proved the universality of a principle of motion on the basis of metaphysical arguments (theory of act and potentiality) and physical ones.The author, referring to contemporary physicists (E. Fermie, A. Haas, J. Chojnacki) points out hat they do not promulgate the idea of self-activating in the strict sense. This idea is not even proved by radioactivity phenomenon, for instance, emission of alpha, beta, gamma rays is entirely spontaneous because there exist such external factors as cosmic radiation or interatomic transformation which initiate this phenomenon, Physical law of inertia also agrees with the metaphysical principle of motion — still valid in macrocosmos and microcosmos.

Observational Data About Cosmic Evolution
There is tendency in cosmogony to call evolutionary changes such qualitative changes which are directional and irreversible. The problem of evolution of individual celestial bodies has to be distinguished from that of the evolution of the Universe considered as a whole. In the latter problem cosmogony is inseparable from cosmology. In both problems the accepted philosophical attitude plays a crucial role. Facts proving the existence of the cosmic evolution can be classifiexl as follows: 1 — distributed in time direct observations of evolution, 2 — data about motions of celestial bodies, 3 — comparison of various objects Which can be suspected of being of the same kind but in various stages of evolution, 4 — observations of regions of space in various distances which consequently — because of the finite speed of light — are of various age, 5 — taking use of relationships between megacosmical and microcosmical constants. Only data under 2, 4 and 5 can give evidence of the evolution of the Universe as a whole. No uniform, consistent picture of the cosmic evolution exists at present.

Relatywizacja przeistrzenii i czasu w szczegolnej teorii względności
Relatevisation of Space and Time in Special Theory of Relativity
The present paper aims at stressing these aspects in special theory of relativity which are concerned with a relative character of space and time, that is, it attempts to examine the sense of the theorem which speaks that time and space are relative.In Einstein's theory there are relative and absolute quantities. Stability of velocity of light belongs to absolute quantities (laws of nature), and space, time, motion, mass belong to relative ones. The notion of simultaneity is not of absolute character, either. While stating that space and time are . relative we suggest that (a) measurements of these quantities are relative because they depend on reference frame in which they are done, (b) measurements of time imply measurements of space.Space and time cannot be treated separately. Space-time event has a physical meaning and we assign to it four numbers: three space coordinates and one time coordinate.Though the results of time and space measurements are relative, laws of nature remain absolute being constant relations between physical quantities. Special theory of relativity, through relativity of measurements comes to formulate absolute regularities and thereby to describe physical real world independently from cognitive subject.

Zasada Macha w ujęciu Wheelera
Mach's Principle in Wheeler's Formulation
J. A. Wheeler made an attempt to reformulate the boundary condition problem in General Relativity. According to him Mach's Principle has to be understood as a selection rule of these solutions which are consistent with the boundary conditions of certain type. Yet, one must remember that the a priori assumed boundary conditions for the field equations appear to be an absolute, and therefore anti- -Machian, element of the theory. Also well known theorems about the singularities in General Relativity strongly point against the possibility of Wheeler's programme realization.

Wyjaśniająca funkcja redukcji
The Explanatory Function of Reduction
The paper presents a certain fragment of the recently carried discussion which deals with one of the aspects of a theoretical explanation of reduction. The very notion of reduction is introduced here in the contextual way and is applied mainly to physical theories. Formal and factual conditions were exposed to a detailed analysis along with assuming an attitude towards some reservations set up against them. A special stress was put upon these conditions which are especially important as regards intertheoretical deductive explanations as well as on meaning elements of the term "reduction". In the final part of the paper an attempt was made to group different approaches to reduction.

Arystoteleisowskie i bolzanowskie pojęcie niesfcończomoiści
Notion of Infinity in Aristotle and Bolzano
The author of the paper has discussed notion of infinity in Aristotle and Bolzano wfhioh serves as a basis for the adoption of the two following theorems: infinite seiis exist in potentiality (Aristotle), infinite sets exist in actuality (Bolzano). Aristotle understands an infinite set as the one to which a new element may be continually assorted from the outside. That whidh has already nothing outside is finite and complete. Therefore, infinity — as seen by Aristotle — is associated with potentiality. So it is not suprising that he comes to the acceptance of potential existence in infinity. On the other hand, Bolzano sees an infinite set as the one which is greater than any other finite set. In other words, according to Bolzano set is infinite when it has proper subset equinumerous with it. He holds that infinite sets exist in the domain of potential beings as well as in the domain of real world. This is, of course, a question of adtual existence in the Aristotelian terminology.A notion of set is commonly used in contemporary mathematics. The problem arises whether it refers to Arisltotle's notion of set or to Bolzano's. Bringing arguments of the axiomatic system of Zermelo-Fraenkel type the author has shown that one deals here with the continuation of Bolzano's conception. For in the mentioned above axiomatic system the existence of at least one infinite set is clearly postulated. Whereas this axiomatic system does not distinguish different kinds of existence. In that respect it is uniform and thereby agrees with Bolzano's conception. So, contemporary mathematics would declare for Bolzano's idea of notion of set.It can be noticed that this briefly discussed above fact may serve as an example of a constant progress in science. In this case it would consist in the abandonment of Ariistoltle'idea and the introduction of Bolzano's, in coming from Sta- girite's conception to that of Bolzano.In contemporary mathematics one more interesting phenomenon can be also observed. Namely, cathegory theory still requires a broader notion than Bolzano's notion of seit. This broader notion is a notion of class. Every set is a class. But hot every class ils a set. For instance cathegory is mostly not a set but it is a class. It seems that in this enlarging of a notion of set to a notion of class one can see the next step in progress of science made in this interesting field.Thus a question arises whether this doming from Aristotle's notion of set to Bolzano's and from the latter to a notion of class one should not regard as successive stages of a constant progress of science.

Quantum Foundations of Motion in Organic World
In biology motion has been studied from the point of view of kinematics. Therefore there came to develop such branches as morphology of organs of motion, physiology of muscles, nerves and bones and also biochemistry of concomitant procesises of motion. The author examines this problem from the point of view of evolutionary biophysics. The starting point chosen here is bioelectronics on a semiconductive characterization of proteins and nucleic acids as well as their piezoelectric properties. It also refers to animal tissues connected with motion (muscular, nervous, osseous) and to plant tissues.On a certain stage of the biophysical evolution piezoelectric properties of organic compounds were produced and then developed further in a tissue structure. Foundations of motion can be already noticed in the molecular dimensions of proteins, DNA and RNA and also of some saccharides in the form of electrostric- tion. Moreover, one has to take into account: termostriction (pyroelectric properties), magneto- and magnetochemistriction, or mechanoChemical processes. The basis phenomena would be quantum ones summing up in tissue — mainly in muscular and nervous tissue and less in osseous one. The biological system examined in the aspect of the evolution of motion serves as a good example of transition from quantum state to mactroquantization.The quantum background of the action of muscles, nerves and bones does not only result from their semiconducting properties but also from microstructures confirmed by electro-microscopy. Structures show evidence of various optical and electrical properties. However, quantum results can be noticed in the slight luminescence of an active muscle or nerve. The action of muscles and nerves seems to be the molsit probable in its electronic aspects as the voltage-current situation in a junction p-n which was stated by Basset and Becker for a bone and recently for a nerve, too.Formation of a phononic wave is the "left side" of striction in piezoelectric systems. Living object is a generator of its own mechanical information, because a phononic wave is a shifting alternate phase of kinetic and potential energy. And the latter causes the release of charges in piezoelectric proteins in phases of compression and decompression. Thus any mechanical information from the environment and the one received as a result of active or passive motion (in higher plants) is a form of electronic disorders of the system. If we consider mean bioelectronic states to be physical plasma we can easily examine some general energetical changes in any living system. And so, a phononic wave connects mechanical energy with electrical one, chemi-dal energy with magnetic one, motion with electromagnetics. The biological system does not work on the base of a thermic machine. Motion is first of all an electronic process and thereby is connected with metabolism. Motion, working on a "quantum" principle, is a mobilizing factor of the system. Life had inserted quantum phenomena of striction characteristic for protein ferroeleotrios between chemical processes of anabolism and those of catabolism. Motion is a basic life phenomenon and contributes to general metabolism of the biological system. Moreover, motion is a basic factor in ithe evolution of life.

The Influence of Light and Ions of Heavy Metals on Green Plants
The experiments were carried to examine the influence of light and mercuric ions on green plants. The introductory experiments covered only the observation of dynamics of growth, vegetative propagation and morphology of shoot limbs of Lemna perpusilla Torrey, graft 6609. The influence of mercuric ions on the plant organism during their direct effect and after effect was analysed. The amount of plants and limlbis were estimated as well as dry mass, colour and shape of shoot limbs of cilia. Mercuric ions were administered in the form of molar solution of corrosive sublimate in distilled water. The final concentration of corrosive sublimate in plant cultures varied from 1 X 10-4 M/l to 1 X 10-9 M/l.It was found that: 1 — influence of mercuric ions on cilia depends upon their concentration and upon light conditions.2 — light has a great influence on the increase of toxicity of mercury for green plants.3 — plants activate their effective mechanism of protection only in light against the penetration of a poison into living cells.

O liczbach spełniających konigruencję (a) x2—k x = 0 (mod. 10n)
On Numbers Satisfying the Congruence
In the present paper the problem of finding numbers x of n-digits satisfying the congruence: x2 — kx = 0 (mod.10n) was solved; where k = integer, n = 1, 2, 3... and even a more general congruence x2 — kx = 0 (mod. gn).Three cases were examined: 1) k = 1; 2) k= -1; 3) |k|>1. Thus the paper consists of three parts. In part I the first case k = 1 was analysed. This problem in such a form was first introduced by P. Tedenat in 1814. It was solved in this paper by means of three methods: a) the method of recurring sequences, b) the method of continued fractions, c) the method of .power sequences. The author also gives ways to calculate x in the case of any numbers of digits; effectively numbers of x are given for n = 21, whereas E. Lucas gave them only for n = 10.In part II the author analyses the so far unexamined case no. 2: k= -1. The above mentioned methods a), b), c) all apply to this case. Case no. 2 is the parallel case no. 1.In part III the author examines case no. 3, which has not been also treated by other authors, namely | k | > 1. It represents a generalization of the two former cases and can be easily reduced to them by means of a substitution.Laisit of ail the author generalizes the given problem for the congruence x2 — ax + c=0 (mod. 10n) in the case, when A = a2 — 4c = m2 and m = integer.

The Woodhouse Day Spa, St. Petersburg
by Dana Wood
BLivelyImages
Vast and sprawling, my adopted city of St. Petersburg, Florida, is booming. And as a former New Yorker who sometimes misses the Gotham hustle and bustle, I couldn't be happier to see all the construction sites peppering our lovely waterfront downtown. Palm tree, crane, palm tree, jackhammers. It's a lively mix of cocktail shakers and forward momentum.
Nestled away in back of the building that houses the stunning new James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art is another gem of an addition to the St. Pete scene: Woodhouse Spa. At 6000+ square feet, with 18 treatment rooms and a killer retail area stocked with organic skincare brands, groovy spiritual jewelry, and cozy loungewear, it's definitely next-level for "the Sunshine City."
Cast in a driftwood-chic palette of stone, silver, and sage, it's beautiful. But at the same time, it oozes a particular brand of Floridian Southern charm. Take the Quiet Room, for example. To assist you in flipping through the curated stack of glossy mags while you're sipping a glass of bubbly or herbal tea, there's a handy basket of readers in varying magnification strengths. And to satisfy between-treatment snack cravings, big glass jars dispense three varieties of spa "ciao / chow." Think dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, a dash of coconut. Even if you don't order-in a spa lunch from the Canyon Café at the James Museum around the corner, there's no way you're walking out of Woodhouse hungry.
Or tense. Tense is not an option here.
Before popping in for my treatments on a scorching hot mid-October day, I had a brief phone consult with the owner, Ginger Lettelleir. Because the St. Pete location is one of 63 Woodhouse Spas sprinkled across the U.S., my goal was to partake in offerings that were as indigenous as possible. "What really says 'St. Pete'?'" I asked. "What's your 'signature'?"
Not surprisingly, Ginger knew just the thing(s): a Vichy shower and beaucoup seaweed. Sure the bladderwrack hails from the icy coast of Brittany rather than steamy Tampa Bay, but no worries. What Ginger had in store for me was all very watery and totally apropos.
And when I say the Vichy shower was a revelation, I'm not being hyperbolic. I've had oodles of body treatments in my day, but this was pretty spectacular. I never wanted it to end. A long-time beauty editor who has fretted her way through many a weekday spa visit, itching to get back to the office, for me to lay there without squirming is a testament to how much fun it was.
Sure the bladderwrack hails from the icy coast of Brittany rather than steamy Tampa Bay, but no worries. What Ginger had in store for me was all very watery and totally apropos.
Technically, the 50-minute treatment is called a Wild Lavender & Seaweed Sugar Glow. It starts with a light massage— "Third Eye" around the brows and temples, "cat paws" on the shoulders, a gentle foot rub. "It's important that we get every client to calm down before starting a treatment," noted Jessica, my therapist. I hadn't really thought about that before, but it struck me as so smart; if you're wired and hyper when you walk through a spa's doors, it isn't optimal. To truly get the most out of any adventure in relaxation, you might need to do some preliminary de-stressing first.
But back to the Vichy shower. As you're breathing in the essential oils, the sweetness of the wild lavender is tempered by the wild, oceanic—but not overpowering—scent of the seaweed. Once the scrub is all rubbed-on, polishing the skin in the process, the water starts. Back and forth, shoulders to toes, over and over. And just when you're about to drift off, the temperature of the H20 shifts from warm and soothing to . . . pleasantly chilly. "You okay with this?" asked Jessica at the first blast of cool water. "Some clients say, 'don't you dare touch me with that cold stuff.'" Next comes another full-body rubdown with moisturizer. By the time it all ended, it was all I could do to scrape myself off that padded table, slip on my robe, and waddle back out into the hall.
But waddle I must, because it was on to my next treatment, an 80-minute signature facial known as the Minkyti. Designed to be both relaxing and anti-aging, it also makes heavy use of seaweed. In fact, at one point, my mug was so encased in bladderwrack I felt like a piece of human sushi. In a good way, mind you; it was cool and dark under there, and once again I was on the verge of dozing off. But then came a few layers of tingle-inducing alpha hydroxy acid and enzymes, and I woke right back up. In some regards, the Minkyti is like the facial version of the lavender and seaweed Vichy shower: alternately calming and bracing. Ask for Jackie; she's seriously on top of her game and a wealth of knowledge about all things skin and seaweed.
There are so many other treatments I want to try at Woodhouse St. Pete that I know I'll be checking them off my beauty bucket list for seasons to come.
Too much time on the tennis court has resulted in a constellation of dark spots across my cheeks, so I have a few options for correction on this front: Restore And Firm Microderm, which basically sandblasts dull skin patches, and the Illuminating Facial which deploys a two-layer peel and a succession of masks to enlighten you.
And as a situational (rather than chronic) insomniac, I'm excited to have no fewer than five massage-based sleep treatments to choose from, including Shirodhara, in which warm essential oils are dripped onto the forehead to halt "mind chatter." And I'm dying to try the Lazy Days Renewal Ritual, a mashup of scrub, massage, and soak that takes place in a softly lit room replete with a claw-foot tub. Like any self-respecting spa junkie, I'm all about a long soak in a fabulous tub. —The Woodhouse Day Spa St. Pete

Top Gear - Lancastrian likely lads Freddie and Paddy turbo-charge the Beeb's misfiring car show
Chris Harris, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness present Top Gear
Phil Cunnington
It's back then. From being dumper-bound for years, ever since Jeremy Clarkson got himself in bother, Top Gear (BBC2, Sundays, 9pm) is back.
Fronted by salt-of-the-earth Lancastrians Paddy McGuinness and Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, together with less salty southerner Chris Harris, at first glance this Top Gear reboot is less pimp my ride and more give it a wash and a polish.
The format is still broadly familiar – the three presenters still open the show by exchanging banter in front of an audience hiding the keys to their Ford Focuses in their Ferrari-badged blouson jackets, shuffling nervously in their Reebok Classics and stonewashed jeans.
They still do track tests of absurdly expensive and overpowered supercars, which are so far from anything the viewers might drive they may as well be riding a unicorn while telling us the handling is spot on but the top end is a bit torque-y.
And they still do epic journeys, filmed like Lawrence of Arabia – this time heading through Ethiopia in their 'first cars'.
So, Top Gear is still heading rapidly for the scrapheap, right? Wrong. Despite the format seeming tired and overworked, even towards the end of the Clarkson era, these three somehow make it seem fresh.
Where Clarkson, before Chris Evans, and then Matt LeBlanc seemed to be the 'stars', keeping their co-presenters firmly in their places, Flintoff, McGuiness and Harris act as equals, and they actually like and respect each other.
They are a lot more at ease with themselves, not forcing the locker-room banter, and they get emotional when they talk about what these cars mean to them.
In fact, the word that springs to mind is genuine. And these three have genuinely brought Top Gear back from the dead.
The final episode of Years and Years (BBC1, Tuesdays, 9pm) brought a sliver of hope after five episodes of mounting dread, and I watched the last five minutes in tears. It's still on iPlayer, so watch it.
Joseph Heller's classic novel Catch-22 (Channel 4, Thursdays, 9pm) has been brought to the screen by George Clooney. It's terrific stuff – surreal, absurd and horrific.


Further to the recent review of Rising Decals the Fujimi 1/72 kits of the Aichi D3A1 and D3A2 'Val' are scheduled for re-release in May at a price direct from HLJ of approximately £5.58 each. If contemplating purchase of the Fujimi kit this might be useful.

Correspondent Stefan Sjöberg has very kindly made me aware of an interesting Ki-100 WIP build report in 1/72nd scale using the original Fine Molds kit (the one which included Hasegawa Ki-61-I tei parts and white metal parts) by Swedish modeller Magnus Fridsell here. Kawasaki Ki-61/Ki-100 series fighters seem popular right now and from the work done so far I'm looking forward to seeing how this one progresses.
The original Fine Molds "composite" Ki-100 kits were issued by Hasegawa with Fine Molds logo circa 1989 (together with Ki-61-II kits) but were superceded by all new mould kits issued by Fine Molds in 1999 (Ki-100 "fastback") and 2001 (Ki-100 "bubbletop") and which are still available. The "bubbletop" version shown below was the rarer of the two "composite" kits. The fastback version came with markings for a 111th Sentai, 1st Daitai option (as shown on the box art) attributed in some sources as the aircraft of Major Toyoki Eto the Daitai commander although there is some doubt about that. Two other options were a 59th Sentai, 2nd Chutai aircraft # 177 and a 244th Sentai example # 32.
Due from Aoshima in May and following on from their two excellent Ki-100 kits is a new 1/72nd scale kit of the Kawasaki Ki-100-II which they describe as the 'Type 5 Fighter II Exhaust Turbine Type'. Three prototypes were built and it was the lightest turbo-supercharged fighter of WWII. This will be good news for those who like prototypes and experimentals or creating development line ups, also offering plenty of scope for 'what if' builds.
Ki-48-I of 16th Sentai, 1st Chutai, Nanking China, 1943 - dark green mottle over grey-green with yellow fuselage band; this unit later specialised in moonlight dive bombing and nuisance attacks on enemy airfields.
This is a very attractive sheet with plenty of scope for tackling a variety of challenging 'snake weave' and mottle patterns.
This is a welcome set for anyone who wants something different to the natural metal finish usually associated with 'Claude' and will provide some alternative markings for either the Fujimi or Hobby Boss/Doyusha 'quick build' kits.
Also from Rising four sets that combine decals for one aircraft subject together with resin accessories/conversion parts. RD Acr-001 combines markings for a 3rd Sentai Tachikawa Ki-55 trainer at Hokkaido during 1943 with resin parts for a ski undercarriage. This set could be used to make a striking presentation of a Ki-55 model on a snow scene base as seen in the classic 1972 Bunrin-do book 'The Japanese Army Wings of the Second World War'.
Set RD Acr-002 provides decals and parts for a ski-equipped Mitsubishi Ki-51 'Sonia' of 1st Hikoshidan (Air Division) being tested by the Hiko Jikkenbu (飛行実験部 - Flight Test Department) at Obihiro, Hokkaido in early 1945.
Set RD Acr-003 provides decals and parts to recreate our old friend the Ki-51 'Sonia' of the 10th Dokuritsu Hikodan Shireibu (Independent Air Brigade Headquarters) encountered over Miri, Borneo in March 1945. Rising have interpreted the fuselage band as red bordered white rather than the tri-coloured band depicted by Ronnie Olsthoorn here. Command bands were sometimes painted to represent the rank or duty position of staff officers reflecting established uniform distinctions, for example the red and white duty sash of an adjutant or three narrow stripes sometimes representing the three gold bands on the pre-war full-dress cap of a Captain. Conversion parts for the spat stripped undercarriage on this aircraft are included and together with the decals will enable an interesting model to be made of this Army workhorse.
Finally Set RD Acr-006 provides a spat stripped undercarriage for a dark green Aichi D3A1 'Val' of the 582nd Ku at Munda, New Georgia in 1943, this aircraft also being distinguished by a D3A2-type spinner (not included). Decals for the tail code, fin and fuselage stripes are included but the Hinomaru will need to be sourced elsewhere. The Fujimi kit is recommended.
This is a useful and imaginative selection of goodies for the Japanese aircraft enthusiast and ably continues Rising's established reputation for providing high quality aftermarket products. The resin parts are crisply moulded requiring minimum clean up. With thanks to Mirek of Rising Decals for providing these items for review.
The Nichimo retrospective back in October last year included a link to a superb build of their 1/48th scale Ki-51 'Sonia' by Tetsuya Inoue. Now Tetsuya has an impressive build of a Ki-61-II Kai 'bubbletop' on the go here involving a kit-bash from the Hasegawa 1/48th scale Ki-100 Otsu and Ki-61-I Tei kits and well worth a look. Hope to see more of his Japanese aircraft subjects in future.
Thanks to Tetsuya for kindly providing the link and to Ronnie Olsthoorn for contributing the evocative heading image of his awesome 3D Mitsubishi A6M2 in this 75th Anniversary month of the Zero's first flight.
"It is an offence with penalty on indictment of up to 5 years withdrawal of mail order privileges to represent excessive paint wear (in a technique known to addicts as "salt treatment") when building any representation of the Airfix 1/72nd scale Mitsubishi A6M2 "Zero" plastic construction kit. Furthermore the offence will be considered to be aggravated if no attempt has been made to represent the factory applied coat of red oxide primer for which a Judge on conviction will have discretion to extend the sentence by 2 years with a maximum fine of £172 and confiscation of any Japanese aircraft kits in the stash."
The new law is expected to be enforced by units of Her Majesty's Colour Police who will be patrolling shows incognito and joining model clubs under cover.

See & Do Walking and hiking
Following in Giant footsteps
The Giant's Causeway has a giant reputation. Walk this way
The curious assembly of 40,000 basalt columns of cooled molten lava on the north Antrim coast is a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of TripAdvisor's 10 most dramatic landscapes on the planet. It's also the scene of some of Ireland's most exciting walking trails and paths, with easy paths, moderate strolls and more demanding hikes.
Queen of the Causeway
From the cliff-top Giant's Causeway Coastal Path overlooking the iconic pillars of the Causeway, this geological wonder suddenly seems smaller than the shadow it casts in heritage and culture. Up here, all of north Antrim unfolds at your feet. Huge swells roll in from the Atlantic, and pockets of sunshine highlight the changing navy blues and emerald greens of the coastal waters.
It's one of the island's most stunning panoramas: the Scottish island of Islay, Rathlin Island's chalky-white cliffs and the Mull of Kintyre at the tip of the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland all stretch out before you. Edged by the foaming Atlantic, sheer cliffs, dramatic views and hundreds of species of floral and fauna have turned this tip of the island into a walkers' paradise.
British newspaper, the Guardian, listed the coastal walk from the Giant's Causeway carpark, along the North Antrim Cliff Path to the Dunseverick Castle car park as one of the Top 10 UK walks. Why? Because it boasts "some of the finest cliff scenery in Europe". And they're not the only ones who are impressed.
"My walkers are stunned by the beauty of it", says Sean Mullan, operator of Walking And Talking in Ireland of the route from Ballintoy to the Giant's Causeway. "There are so many special sights on the way, and walking it is the most impressive part."
Mark Rodgers of Dalriada Kingdom Tours is heir to a family tradition of guiding walking tours of the Causeway and laces his narrative with local history. His wife's grandfather Alex Purdy was "the very first man on the Causeway to ride a pony and trap on the Rodden track to guide the folk down to see the stones. He spoke of the caretaker, fortune tellers, a fiddler and ice cream sellers."
There are four recently upgraded and signposted walking trails around the Causeway, one for every ability. The coastal path extends 11 miles (18 kilometres) reaching out to another gem: the vertigo-inducing Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.
The biggie is the Causeway Coast Way: the full coastal path from Portstewart Strand to Ballycastle, via the Giant's Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. The 33-mile (53km) stretch covers wide bays, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and even golf courses.
Bridging it together
In the summer of 2012, visitor Lorraine Lynders from County Kildare did the full walk, Bridge to Causeway, and hasn't stopped talking about it since. "You never know what's around the corner or over the next hill," she says. "It varies dramatically from long sandy beaches to quaint fishing villages, historic ruins to enormous cliffs. You don't even realise how far you've walked, because it's so beautiful the entire way!"

Malco Theater on Cherry Street in Helena, Arkansas
Malco Theater on Cherry St., Helena, Arkansas
10:45 to 1:00 p.m.
Sunshine Sonny Payne was the blues legend who was the uncle to blues royalty for more than 70 years on KFFA's King Biscuit Time radio show until his passing last year. Join two blues journalism and preservation legends, Roger Stolle and Don Wilcock, as they dedicate this, their eighth annual Call and Response Blues Symposium, to King Biscuit's beloved patriarch Sunshine Sonny Payne. They moderate two hour-long "back fence" conversations with legendary blues musicians and personalities who are some of the most colorful people on today's vibrant blues scene. "Come on home" to this lively confab that's become a colorful highlight of the festival.
Part One 10:45 a.m.-11:45 a.m.
"Little Joe" Ayers
One of the last old-school North Mississippi Hill Country bluesmen, "Little Joe" Ayers has been playing juke joints and house parties for most of his life. He first came to prominence appearing with Junior Kimbrough in Robert Mugge's 1991 documentary, Deep Blues. In 2011, he released his debut album, Backatchya, and these days he performs at events in the U.S. and abroad, including Helena's King Biscuit and Clarksdale's Juke Joint Festival.

If you measure an artist's worth by the company they keep, this Texas tornado on guitar is in the upper echelons. John Mayall invited her to become his first female guitarist this summer. He had to cancel his summer tour because of medical problems, but has long time bass player Greg Rzab formerly with Buddy Guy is now in her band. Bob Dylan compared her "Bloodless Revolution" to "a mystery movie theme" and Mike Nesmith of the Monkees officiated at her wedding. Her credentials include hanging with some of Texas' greatest axe swingers, and her voice is often compared to Janis Joplin. "The only time I've ever sung 'Me and Bobby McGee' was with Kris Kristofferson. That's it. That's the only time I've done it. That kind of makes me smile extra. I held out singing Janis until it matters the most and that was it," says Wonderland.

Q: How to choose DNX for ASP.NET 5 project I've created an empty ASP.NET 5 project. There're two folders under References: DNX 4.5.1 and DNX Core 5.0. As I have some dependencies that are not compatible with DNX Core 5.0, I'd like to use DNX 4.5.1 (my outdated dependencies are added there).
What should I do to make my project work on DNX 4.5.1? When I go to project properties, the only DNX SDK version available is 1.0.0.0-beta5 (not sure if it's related to my question).

A: The 2 folders under references correspond to the targets in your project.json file.
Since you say you want to use dnx451 and to use things that are not compatible with dnxcore50 then you should remove dnxcore50 from your project.json then you will see only 1 folder.


Global Chic is sophisticated and adventurous, trendy and timeless. It brings to your home the spirit of various cultures that you fashion into your own personal statement. Adopt or adapt decorating styles from around the world and, while you do, gain an appreciation for the beauty and wisdom of the worldviews that are expressed in the ways in which people decorate their living spaces.
The Swedish word is "lagom." It means "not too much and not too little" and is the balance that Scandinavians seek in every aspect of their lives. With lagom, you can have a home that is beautiful, comfortable and respectful of the environment—you needn't sacrifice one or the other. Because Scandinavian home design is quiet and unassuming, it can live in harmony with almost any scheme. A neutral palette, such as milky whites, soothing greys and warm beiges, is simple yet elegant. Soft linen, comfy sheepskin, bulky knit blankets add texture. Natural wood or whitewashed floorboards are the perfect complement to the understated look.
As Scandinavians live through the long, dark winters, they like to brighten up their homes with sunny colors, various shades of yellow and orange, in accessories, such as throw pillows and rugs, vases and objets d' art. The jovial colors also serve to emphasize the simplicity of the décor.
Although we would never mistake a Japanese décor for Scandinavian, the philosophy behind them is very similar. The Japanese word is "shibusa," which means "simple, subtle and unobtrusive"—add to your space only that which is needed for an uncluttered and balanced décor that is in tune with nature. The Japanese honor their connection to nature with expansive windows or a large sliding-glass doors to let in the natural light and views of nature. Inside the home, rooms are partitioned with shojis, screens that slide back and forth, that take up less space than doors that open out. Traditionally, the screens are made of fine translucent paper that let in natural light.
Natural materials are used to decorate (e.g., bamboo, river rock, flagstone) with a simple color palette, primarily the colors of nature: the browns of wood, greens of plants, greys of stone.
"Riad" at one time referred to the courtyard that is the center of both home life and light. Today, riad refers to the way that harmony in the home is created by color, texture and light. To channel riad, create spaces dedicated to living plants, decorate with woven wall hangings or brightly colored tiles and make use of the brilliant Moroccan light. Unlike the Japanese and Scandinavians, harmony in Morocco is created with ornamentation and vibrant colors, rich jewel-tone fabric, complex designs, intricately carved partitions and a sea of floor pillows.
The pièce de résistance of Moroccan design is the pouf, a large firm cushion covered in heavy fabric used as a footstool or low seat. Prop up your feet or add chic extra seating for an unexpected guest. Top t with a tray and it's a tea-time table or a side table for the patio. A pouf adds color, comfort and a regal touch to any room.
Swahili is Kenya's national language and their interior design expresses "karibu," which means "welcome." They welcome guests into their homes with a décor as warm as the sun and sand and as exotic as the local flora and fauna. Bold patterns, vivid colors and earth tones, animal prints, wood carvings—all mirroring the splendor of the continent and a tradition of mysticism.
Key pieces are the Inkundla-inspired sofa that recreates the camaraderie of sitting in a circle; a wooden potjie, a three-legged pot originally brought to southern Africa by the Dutch; and thick wool rugs with native motifs in juxtaposed natural shades and vibrant colors.
Each island has its unique characteristics and traditions, yet there is a Caribbean identity shared by all of them. Part of that identity is "riley," the carefree existence, authenticity and energy that flows through their interior designs. Bring the islands into your home with natural materials that are durable: rattan, bamboo, wicker and mahogany wood and vibrant colors: lime, coral, peach and yellow. Hang baskets with colorful patterns. Have a corner full of lush greenery and tropical flowers.
Or you could have an all-white room with linen curtains and small bursts of color, such as a pillow, a small rug or vivid flowers.
