To celebrate Dia de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, an exhibit was held at the Jardin Borda in Cuernavaca. On display were nearly thirty life size skeletons, or calaberas, intricately decorated using all sorts of materials including chiles, beans, flowers, candies and even eggshells. The exhibit opened on Thursday and an opening day reception was held that evening. The opening was free to the public and featured extravagant displays, live music, and traditional food and drinks.
Today we returned to Mexico City where we'll spend the next week before departing for Oaxaca to begin our long trip. Mexico City, as it turns out, is also a great place to be during Dia de Muertos. The main days of celebration are the first two days in November with tomorrow being the most important of the two. I can hardly wait to see some of the displays and events taking place around the city and to learn more about the traditions and history of the celebration.
After spending the past two weeks in Cuernavaca it's easy to see why so many people choose to study Spanish here. In fact, Cuernavaca is one of the most popular places in all of Mexico for foreigners to take Spanish lessons. I've spent the past two weeks studying at Centro de Idiomas y Culturas.
In addition to lessons in the classroom, my teacher Fabiola took me out into the city to see some of the popular attractions including a photography museum housed in a miniature castle, the Catedral and the Jardin Borda. We visited the local market just days before Dia de los Muertos to see the traditional breads, flowers, candles and chocolates and explored the underground waterways of the Pasillo de la Barranca.
Overall, I've found Cuernavaca to be welcoming and very accomodating to visitors, especially those who do not speak Spanish very well. In addition to beautiful weather year round and numerous attractions, there are also countless opportunities to practice speaking with local people who are accustomed to interacting with language students and patiently take the time to correct vocabulary and make friendly conversation.
I experienced this first hand during my interactions with the juice vendor on the avenue. Each morning I would point to the cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice I hoped to purchase and offer a polite "por favor." He would smile and clearly pronounce "toronja" before handing over the cup. He seemed pleased a few days later when I finally got it right, pronunciation and all. It's unlikely I will forget the word for grapefruit anytime soon, and learning this way sure beats trying to memorize words out of a dictionary!
Tepoztlan is an interesting, lively and fun little town located 80km south of Mexico City. We traveled by bus from Cuernavaca and it took about thirty minutes. It's a blend of well-preserved indigenous cultures and New Age beliefs and spirituality. The town is believed to be a magical place and claims to have a sort of creative energy. For this reason Tepoztlan attracts its fair share of writers and artists. Astrologers frequently travel here to investigate reports of UFO sightings. In addition, the town is believed to be inhabited by witches, but of the good variety. Alternative medicine shops, psychics and aura cleansers can be found around every corner, many owned and operated by expats from abroad, and the town itself has come to be known as somewhat of an international post-hippie mecca.
One of Tepoztlan's main attractions is its local market. We visited on Sunday which is one of the busiest and most animated market days. Vendors lined the streets throughout the center of town and inside the Zocalo. There were separate areas for fruits and vegetables, prepared foods, clothing, accessories and crafts. Scattered among them were stands selling ice cream, water ice and drinks called Micheladas. A very popular beverage and one that the town is known for, a Michelada is a mixture of two kinds of hot sauce, lime juice, and Corona. People were already drinking them from giant styrofoam cups when we arrived around 11 a.m. Finally, we opted to try the smaller version, and as I suspected it was pretty gross, but I think I might have been the only one to think so since people were lined up all over the place to buy them and Carlos finished the whole cup.
Recently, it seems there is a pyramid or archaeological site to tour nearly everywhere we visit and Tepoztlan was no exception. The cliff-top Piramide de Tepozteco is located approximately 2.5km from the city center. Of that distance, 2km is made up of rugid, steep stone staircases that snake up the side of the cliff. From the city center the pyramid is visble as nothing more than a white speck on the top of the mountain side. So small in fact, I could barely get it to appear in any of my photographs. At first it seemed hard to believe that it was possible to hike to the top, but after climbing countless steps and nearing complete exhaustion we finally made it. While not nearly as large as some of the other sites we have visited, the fact that it remains so isolated and difficult to reach made it all the more impressive. And even more impressive was the fact that people were working at the top selling tickets and beverages. Imagine having that as your daily commute!
It seems that nearly every day there is a protest, march or rally somewhere in Mexico. Most recently, the teachers in the state of Morelos are on strike. The strike and accompanying protests have been going on for several weeks now, since before Carlos and I arrived in Cuernavaca. Many of the teachers have set up camp in the Zocalo and their banners and tents have nearly taken over the center of town.
This afternoon while having lunch in one of the many downtown sandwich shops, we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of several marches converging on the center square. A few firecrackers were set off to announce the beginning of the event and within minutes the various streets leading into the Zocalo were crowded with marchers carrying banners and signs. Teachers and students from all across the state of Morelos as well as surrounding states had traveled to Cuernavaca to participate.
We took our place alongside the many other onlookers snapping pictures and listening to the chants blaring from the speakers that were strapped to the tops of cars and trucks. I still don't understand enough Spanish to fully grasp what it is they are protesting, but for the most part it seems people here are strongly opposed to the privatization of their schools and generally dislike the current administration of president Felipe Calderon.
After the march ended everyone gathered in the Zocalo to listen to speeches and to eat the free food that was handed out to the crowds by various participating groups and organizations. There was music and festivities following the rally and fortunately for us, the streets remained closed for a couple hours after the marches came to an end providing the perfect opportunity to do some more sightseeing.
The archaeological zone of Xochicalco is a Unesco Heritage Site and one of central Mexico's most important archaeological sites. This ancient ceremonial center is now a collection of white stone ruins, the most notable being the Piramide de Quetzalcoatl, or Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent. Located 15km southwest of Cuernavaca, the site is said to have been a commercial, cultural and religious center representing the various ancient cultures of central Mexico and gained importance around the time Teotihuacan began to weaken.
Since we haven't made it to the beach yet we figured we'd do the next best thing and visit one of the several balnearios, or water parks, surrounding the city of Cuernavaca. Also known as the City of Eternal Spring, the temperature here remains between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit year round. Perfect for spending the day swimming in one of the wave pools, riding water slides or relaxing under a palm tree.
The town of Taxco is best known for its intricate handmade silver jewelry and its popularity with tourists. Once a silver mining town, today Taxco is a well preserved, colonial town that the Mexican government has declared a national historic monument. Buildings are well worn and painted white with black signage and trim. All new architecture must conform to the original style and old buildings are restored whenever possible.
Taxco is a great place to explore with its narrow cobblestone streets and steep stone staircases that snake up the hillside and twist and turn throughout the center of town. It's easy to get lost here, and the hikes up and down the hillside can be exhausting. Fortunately, most streets eventually converge on the central marketplace and amazing views of the hillside can be seen around every turn. And if you get tired of walking you can hire one of the many white Volkswagen bugs seen speeding around town to taxi you to your destination.

Tales From The Jungle Crews
These are the stories of the Skippers of Disney's Jungle Cruise
Merry XMas... and the annual re-running of our XMas episode 20:59
So, early on in the life of the podcast, I had this great idea. What if I did fictionalized radio serials of the adventures of some of the types of stories I would make up in my head... and I did. And the Jungle Crews Radio Plays were born. 8 episodes that are some of the proudest things I've done around the Jungle. Every year I take a few moments …

Chuck Tales, WOO HOO!; S07 E03 57:59
Well, it took us a bit, but we're finally back and running at full steam. Well, half steam? Sort of a teakettle full of steam. Either way, we're bringing you new episodes. This episode we chat with Skipper Chuck, perhaps the only Muppet ever to be a Jungle Cruise Skipper. He worked in Orlando at the end of the 90's, and he brought his friend Skippe…
RERUN: All Good Things, S06 E13 17:00
Two years ago we wrapped up the podcast and season 6 with my looking back over the prior 6 years of Skippertainment. This is the last episode in our "Rerun Recap", which has been going on since I rejoined Disney in 2017. After this I don't have any excuses, and we'll be bringing you new episodes and content soon. Thanks for all the continuing suppo…
RERUN: Goodbye Mr Kipps; S06 E12 1:07:26
So, the TFJC podcast is back, but we've got 2 more "rerun episodes" to put in your ear-holes while we get some new content together. This one is sort of an ironic episode, because when I recorded it Kipp had just left the Jungle while I had just decided to come back. Now, I've just left, and Kipp is back as a Skipper. Still, Kipp is one of the best…
Jungle Crews: The Return; S07 E01 1:23:56
Well, hey there Skips and Skipperettes from all across the wild and untamed lands known only as Internetland. Welcome back to Tales from the Jungle Cruise. What a long, strange trip it's been. Two years back in the Jungle at Disneyland, and now I've parted ways again with a place that means so much to me. It was a tough decision, and a lot of peopl…
RERUN: Adventures in Fandom, pt 2; S06 E11 58:13
Sorry for the long delay... Here's the second part of our conversation with Skipper Leo Camacho... We're busy "backstage" unpacking all the stuff around SkipCast HQ, getting ready to bring you another wave of Skippertainment. Skipper Kyle, busy as hell and loving it.توسط SkipCast Network
So, the guest from these next two episodes has really seen his career explode in the 2 years since we recorded with him. From being a host of a nationally broadcast video game show to being a visible brand ambassador and influencer within the world of fandom, Skipper Leo Camacho has really seen his stars on the rise. But even though his time at the…
RERUN: Adult Onset Adultness; S06 E09 1:03:22
So, my time at Disney has again come to an end. The Jungle will go on without me, and the Podcast is returning soon. We've just got a few old episodes to recap, and we'll be back with new content. This one is a sad one for me. Skipper Andrew Petersen was a friend, and a beloved Jungle colleague. Andrew passed a year ago, and none of us have been th…
RERUN: Nostalgia Cricket, pt 2; S06 E08 42:54
Hey there, Adventurers! Glad to see you're still aboard, or ashore, or wherever you are. So much stuff to go over. After 2 glorious years back at the Jungle Cruise, my time in a boat is ending. This coming Friday will be my last day with Disney, likely for the last time. That means new episodes are planned and in the works, but it may take me a lit…
RERUN: Nostalgia Cricket, pt 1: S06 E07 35:49
Hard to believe that we're nearly at the end of our rerun lovefest, and we're just around the corner from new episodes. This week we are re-running our time with Tony Goldmark, of the "Some Jerk With A Camera" Vlog, and theme park connoisseur. The first of 2 episodes where we chat about the state of the theme parks, particularly Disney and Universa…
RERUN: Skippers and Happy Hour, pt 2; S06 E06 40:25
I'd love to say that after 8 years, I can stick to a weekly schedule, even with reruns, but this last week was a doozie for me. So, here's the second half of my chat with Katherine and Matt from the WDW Happy Hour Podcast Originally Published January 19th, 2017 Hey Adventurers! A little early from us, but never too much good Jungle stuff... We have…
RERUN: Skippers and Happy Hour, S06 E05 45:26
One of the great thing about the last 8 years of Skippertainment is that I've been a guest on so many podcasts, sharing my Jungle Cruise stories. One of those great moments was January 2017, and the WDW Happy Hour podcast. Matt and Katherine have become not only great Jungle Cruise supporters, but great friends. We do a lot of cross pollination of …
RERUN: Skipper Stories, S06 E04 37:22
Here's the part where I go "holy crap, I've known Dave Marley for nearly 17 years...". We're still doing our reruns for the time being until we get all the old episodes out there, but this one is a special one. The author of "Skipper Stories", "Skipper Stories 2, Electric Boogaloo", and "Really, Even More Skipper Stories?" sat down with us to chat …
Holy Crap, A New Episode! S06.5 E01 31:58
Well, after 2 years, we have a new episode... sort of. I mean, it is new, but it's not strictly a Jungle or interview episode. Hi there, I'm Skipper Kyle, and I'd like to announce the return of Tales from the Jungle Crews. My time with Disney is coming to an end in a few months, and with that, I am able to start producing some new content again. Th…
RERUN: Bag of Worms, S06 E03 55:16
Back in 2016 we had a Kickstarter going for our 2nd card game "King of the Skippers", and we had a couple of recent Jungle expats from Disneyland (and cute as hell lovebirds) on the show to talk about their recent time at Jungle in 2015-2016. So, jump back into the very recent past and enjoy our time with Skipper Kelsey and Skipper Dave. Originally…

Oh, and... Season 7 kicks off the first week of July! Looking forward to being back in front of your ears on a regular basis. Skipper Kyle Originally Released …

I mean, there's nothing else that is happening at Disneyland around the end of the month, right? This episode is probably a little bit inconsequential to the catalog, but I'm inclu…
RERUN: Two A-Peeling Skippers, pt 2; S05 E23 43:24
So, this rerun episode wraps up the 5th season of the TFJC podcast. The second half of our episode with Skipper Freddy Martin and Skipper Jeff Bailes. We had a great time with this, and you can see the greatness that is Freddy Martin as he takes his first podcast steps. Originally Published June 6th, 2016 Hey Adventurers! Summer Vacation is here, a…
What can I say about Freddy Martin? This guy has blown up and has become a major presence in the Disneysphere recently. He hosts a podcast called The Themed Attraction podcast where he interviews Imagineers and designers of the places we love to play. (Search for it on all your Podcast providers.) He's been involved in the recent Adventureland Days…
RERUN: Swimming Against The River, pt 2; S05 E21 41:04
This week is the second half of our chat with Skipper Larry Kaml. It also has what is perhaps the greatest single and most requested Jungle Cruise story that we have ever had recorded on the show. This episode is, in some ways, the "most essential" listening of any of our episodes. Genuinely hope you all enjoy... Originally Released May 9th, 2016 O…
When we started the podcast, Skipper Larry Kaml was one of those guests we never thought we could get. He was a heavy personality for years in the Jungle, and his devotion around the time of the Narrations program was the stuff of legends. After a few seasons of showing him what we were about, I got to drive up and sit down at his dining room table…
RERUN: Catching Up With The Skipperette; S05 E19 30:08
First of all, there is no episode 18 in season 5. It's an April Fools prank we did, so we didn't want to mess up our numbering system. Skipperette Jen Chavez is one of the best people I know, and she's back at the WFJC. (Seems like we all get brought back into the fold eventually.) She has been instrumental in all of our Facebook content, and has c…
RERUN: The Surprise Prize; S05 E17 42:21
So, 3 years ago we did a Kickstarter for a little card game called "Jungle Rummy". We have wound up selling 500 copies, which wasn't bad for our first foray into game design. It still plays well, and I am really happy with how the art turned out. As part of the game, we did a backer reward for a pair of TFJC fans, and they got to share their Jungle…
RERUN: The Double Derail, pt 2; S05 E16 44:08
The second half of our chat with Skippers Amanda Taylor and Skipper Kellie York... Originally Published March 7th, 2016 Two weeks ago we got a whole lotta love for our two Skippers, Skipper Amanda Taylor and Skipper Kellie Pitts(York). Well, as promised, here is the second half of that episode with these two lovely ladies. As I warned you the last …
It's crazy that we're at this point in the podcast. I've been back at the Jungle Cruise for over a year now, and we're back to the episode with my original trainer from 2003. Skipper Amanda Taylor was one of my big influences in how I started in the Jungle, and Skipper Kellie York was an incredibly popular and well thought of Skip from the era just…
RERUN: Rai Know What You Did Last Summer; S05 E14 53:15
We still keep cranking out the hits, and it's hard to believe that this has been 3 years since I met Skipper Raisa. The only Skip I've known who has worked at all 6 US parks, and who has had such an amazing story to tell about her times with the company. She's super fun, and I'm always so happy when our paths cross. I hope you all enjoy... So much …
RERUN: Three Waterlogged Skippers; S05 E13 52:55
It's been a rainy start of the year in Southern California, and it reminds me of the time 3 years ago when I sat down with a pair of great Skips and we talked Jungle of yesteryear. Skipper Jeff Rhoads returned to the podcast with Skipper Tom Halligan and we talked a very interesting bit of Disney history with some really unique twists and turns for…
RERUN: The Weather Report; S05 E12 54:20
Greetings Adventurers, and welcome back to "We're still doing Reruns"... but we're getting ready for the relaunch of new content. Just a lot of life happening as we ramp up and get interviews scheduled. In the mean time, enjoy this rerun of our time with Skipper Rob Ferre.

RERUN: An Upstanding Skipper; S05 E11 1:02:06
Hey there, Adventurekateers... Welcome back! We're still in rerun land, but not for much longer. This episode was Skipper Alex Elkin, who had just come through town for a stand-up gig, and we were able to get him on Skype to record an episode of the podcast. He's a great comic, and a well remembered Skip by those who worked with him. I hope you all…
RERUN: A Script For The Ages, pt 2; S05 E10 48:22
Well, 2019 is here, and so much is happening at the Disney parks, the Jungle Cruise, and for me in my life. It's an exciting year, filled with lots of new stuff. We have a ton of new products at our Skipper Store on TeePublic. It's super exciting, and I'll work on keeping everyone up to speed on all the big Jungle and Skipper Kyle news. It's strang…
So, when we look at our podcast run, we had a lot of Skips from the 00's, and decent representation from almost every era, but only a couple of people from the late 60's. Skipper Joel Halbestadt was one of them, and he was very influential in the time going into the 1970's and in doing some of the first cohesive script editing and input. Most of th…
RERUN: Jungle Crews Radio Play XMas Episode 20:59
It's that time of year again... time for the yearly "Republishing of the XMas episode". The TFJC Radio Play Xmas episode is one of the favorite things I've done related to the Jungle Cruise, and it's one of the things I get asked most about. Trevor Kelly and Joey Hurley join me for another dive into the world of the Jungle Cruise and it's Skippers.…
RERUN: A Broom With A View; S05 E08 49:30
One of the best things about doing a podcast is that I got to meet and develop friendships with the hosts of other Disney podcasts. The ones that became my closest friends are the guys at The Sweep Spot, a podcast hosted by a pair of custodial CM's who have really turned it into something. They get amazing guests, and they put out a book with their…
RERUN: David Koenig's Lawsuitland, pt 2; S05 E07 45:26
And... here's the second half of our interview with David Koenig as we talk lawyers, mice, and the joys of the Jungle... Originally uploaded October 6th, 2015 We're back, and this week we're bringing you part 2 of our sit down with famed author David Koenig, author of the new "The People vs Disneyland" book, which details the lawsuits that have mad…
One of the best things about doing this podcast has been getting to know David Koenig. One of the few non-Skippers on the pod, but definitely has the pedigree to talk about Disney. His books were formative in the way I viewed the company, and his latest book "The People v Disneyland" was no exception. This was a fascinating interview where we talke…
RERUN: The Darling of the Jungle, pt 2: S05 E05 42:46
And... here's the second part of our interview with Skipper Danielle Ernest. (We are still working to be on track to have all of our reruns finished by the end of the year.) Originally Published September 8th, 2015 This week we finish up our conversation with Skipper Danielle Ernest, and her unconventional way she found her way into the Jungle... W…
RERUN: The Darling of the Jungle, pt 1; S05 E04 51:25
So much happening out there in Podcast land... We're going to put up a few new episodes today, and I'll be off air for a week or so while I head out of the country with the wife. Exciting times in Australia! Our online store, the Skipper Store, is getting beefed up with a lower cost shirt selection over at TeePublic. It will take us a bit to get it…
RERUN: Sullivan's Travels; S05 E03 1:06:02
When I make a list of my top 5 episodes that we have produced, this one is definitely in it. We get to speak to Disney Legend Bill "Sully" Sullivan. Sully was a fixture at Disneyland as an original 1955 Skipper, and transitioned to a position working closely to Walt on projects like the Squaw Valley Olympic Games and the 1964 Worlds Fair. He then b…
RERUN: A Stand Up Gal, pt 2; S05 E02 40:02
Part 2 of the interview with the Skipperette herself, Jen Chavez. Originally Published on July 27th, 2015 Hey Skips, we're back! This week we present the second episode of our 5th season, concluding our chat with the fantastically funny Jen Chavez. We talk about the Skipper Standup show, which already has happened now, and was a fantastic success. …
RERUN: A Stand Up Gal; S05 E01 45:27
Well, 2/3 of the way through our cavalcade of reruns, and we're still putting up the old content for you to listen to. This week we sit down with our very own Skipperette, Jen Chavez. Jen took over the reins of the Jungle Crews podcast and Facebook page when Skipper Kyle went back to Disneyland, and she has done a remarkable job over the last year.…
RERUN: The State of the Jungle; S04 E23 44:11
Well, we come to the end of another season in our recap-a-rama. As we keep moving through the years, this episode is a strange one. It's a recap episode for Season 4, and it is a little bit of me just telling my story. Things are good and busy in the Skipcast world, and there's a lot of interest in the Jungle Cruise movie.

The second half of our interview with the fantastic Dr David Marley and Skipper Trevor Kelly. This is confusingly named, but my consistency was always a bit suspect. We tried a new feature to the podcast called "Disney Lies", and it pretty much fell flat. So, there's that. Enjoy! Originally published June 9th, 2015 The second half of our chat with …


#saa100babychallenge Well, the weekend is over and I don't know if the children really did much skill building. I really need that money tree to be ready to harvest so that I can purchase two essential items for their aspirations – a chess table and a climber. Oh well, I just have to be patient. Today is Spring Day 2, Monday, a school day, and Ana, Brittani, Cameron, and Deja are all still C students. Oh, and what is this? Brittani seems to be sick today. I have Brittani head to the fridge and get a glass of orange juice. I am not sure what Brittani is suffering from, but normally orange juice works to combat the common cold. And Brittani's needs are pretty much in the red, too.
Then I get this pop-up.
Oh dear, so Brittani has to take a sick day from school. As soon as she finishes her orange juice, she heads to bed. So Melody is left alone with the three toddlers. Maybe she can work on their skills with them. Nothing like working on skills together. Fiona going potty while Felicity plays with some blocks. As I look around the lot, I see the mail carrier deliver the mail. Noooo! Go away! No more bills. But he doesn't listen to me and leaves some mail for Melody.
I have Melody get the mail, and I am almost afraid to look. Not as bad as last time, but still bad as they only have $104 simoleons. Oh well, she will worry about that later. Brittani gets up and I have her get another glass of orange juice from the fridge. She seems to be doing better. I then have her use the facilities and take a shower. They will only be little for a while longer, so Melody has some fun with Fiona. Airplane time. Well, I guess Felicity is having the meltdown today and is HANGRY. Melody puts her in the highchair and gives Felicity some yogurt and water. Felicity seems happy with the choice. Well, she was happy for a short time. Here is the aftermath of Felicity's meal time. And don't you think that Brittani is such a great helper, even when she's sick? Melody talks to Brittani about Family Club. I then get a pop-up that Melody has completed the Leader of the Pack Aspiration and received the Natural Leader trait.
Plus she has also completed her New Year's Resolution! Way to go Melody!
And just like that, Ana, Cameron, and Deja are back from school. Ana looks like she may have to take a shower before the birthday party. Melody sends them all to "green up".
And what a surprise, Cameron is now a "B" student.
Ana, Cameron, and Deja have also come back home with a school project in their inventory. This is pretty neat because I have never done a school project with the children before. This will be a first. As tomorrow is a holiday, they will work on it then. Cameron also has to do extra credit work. While everyone gets ready, Melody makes the cake and then gives Victor Feng a call and invites him to the birthday party. Tonight is party time! Baako is their caterer again and Cameron blows the party horn to celebrate. Victor holds Elise to blow out the candles.
And Elise Coffey-Feng ages up to Child. She rolls the Artistic Prodigy Aspiration and Creative trait. She also gets the Happy Toddler Trait! Woot! And what's a party without presents? Elise opens her gifts and gets Blarffy, Mr. Floppy the Gnome and a Yuki statue. She will treasure all of them. The only downside to the party was that Deja decided to "make a mess" with some paints in the living room. I think she was just trying to draw a picture and got over excited with the paints. Melody calmly talks to her about her behavior and Deja cleans it up.
And so ends our day in the Coffey household.
'I completed this challenge before toddlers came out. I haven't attempted it yet since they came out. I probably will at some point. I did keep a spreadsheet. I did make an alteration to make room for their traits.
There are tabs on the bottom for each Generation. Very cool. I still use my copybook to keep track but also started to use this as well. Here is the link. Thanks, Fizzstix.
wow that spread sheet is a labor of love!
Isn't it though? I put other stuff in my notebook though, just so I know where I am to write the story. I thought she did an excellent job.

"These fungi live in isolated conditions and proliferate under inhospitable conditions including low temperatures and high levels of ultraviolet radiation," says Daiane Cristina Sass, a professor at UNESP who heads a project engaged in a search for microorganisms that produce compounds with antibacterial action for use in agriculture.
"How have they adapted to survive in an environment so hostile to life? We wanted to see if they produced molecules with unique structures that protected them from infections and might therefore be capable of antibacterial action." Sass wrote an article published in Letters in Applied Microbiology - jointly with IB-UNESP colleagues Lara Durães Sette and Henrique Ferreira, among others.
Sette isolated 33 filamentous fungi from samples collected in soil under rotten wood on Deception Island and 53 filamentous fungi from marine sediments at a depth of 20 meters in Admiralty Bay, King George Island. All fungal strains are kept at UNESP's Microbial Resource Center (CRM). The researchers found that 29 of the 86 Antarctic fungi they isolated (19 of marine origin and ten terrestrial) contained compounds with proven action against X. citri.
Isolating the compounds produced by the fungi and verifying their antibacterial activity involved several stages. The process began with isolation of the fungi, which were then grown for several days in culture dishes with nutrients. The fungi were cultured in liquid medium and shaken for 20 days at 15 °C. The solid biomass was separated from the liquid portion, and both parts were submitted to processing with solvents to obtain intracellular and extracellular extracts.
The researchers obtained 158 extracts. Each extract was diluted at several concentrations (2.10 mg/ml-0.02 mg/ml) and tested against X. citri. In the case of the soil fungi, most of the extracts with antibacterial action were intracellular in origin, while for the marine fungi, only the extracellular extracts hindered the bacterium's growth. "We wanted to determine the lowest concentration of each extract that inhibited growth in 90% of cases," Sass said.
Some (12) of the extracts affected bacterial growth at lower concentrations than the highest tested, and ten of these inhibited growth in more than 90% of cases at concentrations of 1.5 mg/ml-1.0 mg/ml. "At maximum concentration, one extract inhibited growth by up to 98%, and another inhibited it by about 80% at 0.52 mg/ml," Sass said. "It's important to note that we're talking about extracts [which contain varying amounts of molecules]. If an extract contains only one compound that's responsible for this bioactivity, the compound may display good antibacterial activity at much lower concentrations."
Twenty of the isolated fungi with action against X. citri belonged to the genus Pseudogymnoascus and were extracted from terrestrial and marine samples. Next came Penicillium (five), followed by Cadophora (two), Paraconiothyrium (one) and Toxicocladosporium (one), all extracted from marine sediments. Having identified the extracts with action against X. citri, the researchers are now working to find out which chemical compounds give them this antibacterial capability.

Grant takes 'Bama job, leaving VCU, UVa. in the lurch
Published Saturday, Mar. 28, 2009, 4:21 pm
One possible player in the University of Virginia men's basketball coach search is out of the game. Former Virginia Commonwealth University coach Anthony Grant is the new head coach at Alabama. Grant will reportedly be paid in the $2 million-a-year range. VCU had reportedly made an offer in the million-dollar range to try to keep him in Richmond.
"We're certainly disappointed to lose Anthony," VCU athletics director Norwood Teague said. "However, his service at VCU was unmatched, and we want what's best for Anthony and his family. It was an absolute honor to have him here at VCU, and Alabama is getting a one-of-a-kind person and coach."
Grant's teams were 76-25 in his three seasons at the helm at VCU. The Rams pulled off a shocking upset win in Grant's first season in 2007, knocking off Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in March en route to a school-record 28-win season.
Virginia Commonwealth won two CAA Tournament titles and three regular-season championships in his tenure.
Grant had been considered a top candidate for the job that opened at Virginia with the March 16 resignation of Dave Leitao. Others included in the talk around a new coach include Oklahoma's Jeff Capel, Minnesota's Tubby Smith and Xavier's Sean Miller.

Suleiman also protected the Jewish subjects in his empire. In 1553, Suleiman denounced blood libels against the Jews. A blood libel is an accusation that the Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians to use their blood in religious rituals and has been a major theme in the European persecution of Jews. This denouncing was known as a Firman, a royal decree or mandate issued by an Islamic state. Suleiman's favorite doctor and dentist was a Spanish Jew named Moses Hamon, who encouraged the Sultan to denounce the blood libels.

Komal Thatal is an Indian professional football player. He was born on 18th September 2000 in Sikkim, India. He has made 31 appearances for the India U17 national side.
He began involving himself with the game by the early age of 3-4. In 2011, Thatal began playing professional football by joined the Namchi Sports Academy in his native state, Sikkim.
He played there for three years and then attended trials for the AIFF Elite Academy and India U17 side which was about to play for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Thatal joined both the team and the academy by impressing the coaches.
In 2017 he made his international debut with the FIFA U-17 World Cup. For this he was practicing since 2014. But Thatal was allowed for only the first match of the tournament which was against United States.
Komal came to limelight when he scored a superb goal in a match against Brazil which proved to be the Indian U-17 team's only goal in the BRICS tournament held in Goa, India in 2016. The match culminated in a 3-1 loss for India.
He didn't score a single goal in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. So, he was not part of the World Cup after the first match and even went on not to be part of I-league.
Thatal started out with the Namchi Sports academy in the year 2011 and continued there till 2014.
From Namchi, Thatal got a nice start and was soon part of AIFF Elite Academy after leaving Namchi in 2014. He continued there till 2017.
For the 2017–18 season Thatal joined Indian Super League side ATK. Officially he is part of the team since Jan 1, 2018. On 28 January 2018, He made his professional debut for the ATK in the match played against Jamshedpur.
He came on in closing time towards the very end of the match. ATK were defeated 1–0. He has just made two appearances for the team one against Jamshedpur and the other against Mumbai City.
He is the first Indian who has scored against Brazil at any level. Apart from that, he has scored the most number of goals, nine, for the county at U-17 level.

Abstract : Registration and modeling of shapes are two important problems in computer vision and pattern recognition. Despite enormous progress made over the past decade, these problems are still open. In this paper, we advance the state of the art in both directions. First, we consider an efficient registration method that aims to recover a one-to-one correspondence between shapes and introduce measures of uncertainties driven from the data which explain the local support of the recovered transformations. To this end, a free-form deformation is used to describe the deformation model. The transformation is combined with an objective function defined in the space of implicit functions used to represent shapes. Once the registration parameters have been recovered, we introduce a novel technique for model building and statistical interpretation of the training examples based on a variable bandwidth kernel approach. The support on the kernels varies spatially and is determined according to the uncertainties of the registration process. Such a technique introduces the ability to account for potential registration errors in the model. Handwritten character recognition and knowledge-based object extraction in medical images are examples of applications that demonstrate the potentials of the proposed framework.


For the past few decades, there has been a considerable research interest in the area of drug delivery using particulate delivery systems as carriers for small and large molecules. Various polymers have been used in the formulation of nanoparticles for drug delivery research to increase therapeutic benefit, while minimizing side effects. . Polymeric nanoparticles with a size in the nanometer range protect drugs against in vitro and in vivo degradation; it releases the drug in a controlled manner and also offers the possibility of drug targeting. The use of polymeric drug nanoparticles is a universal approach to increase the therapeutic performance of poorly soluble drugs in any route of administration. Here, we review various aspects of nanoparticles formulation, characterization, effect of their characteristics and their applications in delivery of drug molecules and therapeutic uses.

Sarasota dancer strikes gold in Cuba
By Carrie Seidman , Herald-Tribune
/ Monday, April 28, 2014
The Cuban National Ballet School has a reputation for turning out extraordinary dancers coveted by the top ballet companies around the world.
But it was an American from Sarasota, dancing for only four years, who won a gold medal at last week's XII Concurso Internacional para Jóvenes Estudiantes de Ballet (12th International Competition for Young Ballet Students) in Havana, organized by the historic school.

Francisco Serrano, better known to family and friends as "Panchi," took the top prize for variations — solo excerpts from traditional ballets — in the advanced division, defeating students from the very school where his parents, Cuban natives who defected in 1993, trained. The 17-year-old, who was recently awarded a full scholarship to the Royal Ballet in London at the Youth America Grand Prix competition finals in New York, was the first-ever and only contestant from the United States.
Serrano was one of seven students from the Sarasota Cuban Ballet School (including his 14-year-old sister, Camilla) who traveled to Havana on a cultural exchange visa for a two-week training workshop held in conjunction with the competition, which drew more than 500 dancers from Cuba, Mexico and South America. Serrano's parents, Ariel Serrano and his wife, Wilmian Hernandez — who founded the three-year-old Sarasota school — both danced with the Sarasota Ballet in the 1990s.
Francisco Serrano said the win was as much for his parents as himself; his father and mother have been his primary teachers.
"Of course, you dance for the audience, but honestly, I kind of wanted to do it for them," he said. "I wanted to prove I could do the same thing they did, on the same stage and in front of the same people. It was an honor to go where they started. It just made me really happy."
For Ariel Serrano, watching his son place first in his homeland was both overwhelming and reassuring.
"It's just pure happiness," he said. "To have my boy come to the source and to win it in Cuba is beyond belief. And to do it against the quality of the students there — specifically the boys — tells me he's in the pack to be among the greatest."
The trip marked the beginning of what Serrano hopes will become a permanent relationship between his local school and the one that gave him his start, where many of the teachers with whom both he and his wife trained still instruct. In late June, the Cuban National Ballet School's director, Ramona de Saa, will bring five of her students to Sarasota for a six-week summer workshop at Serrano's school. The workshop culminates with a performance at the Sarasota Opera House on August 1.
Serrano also performed this variation from "Le Corsaire," to beat an international field and capture a gold medal at the Concurso Internacional para Jóvenes Estudiantes de Ballet in Havana. / HT photo by Elaine Litherland
"I was born there, but I was made here," said Ariel Serrano, who grew up in Santiago de Cuba, danced for Cuba's Ballet de Camaguey and defected while in Monterrey, Mexico. "I love America, but they are the ones who gave me all the tools to do what I have done here.
"My hope is that we can become the ambassadors. It's about time that we look at the real meaning of the relationship between our people and our countries. I hope this opens the doors for the future."

So my mother has fallen in love with the shape of biscornus now. She loves them so much she has been suggesting that I make them for ornaments next year. Actually is more being told that I need to make biscornus next year for chirstmas, but I don't mind.
But I have been designing she started me thinking and I came up with this design.
Here is the back. I used Rhodes Stitches for the squares and it adds such a cool 3D effect.
Here it is finished :D I love it!
This one is for me and I have done one of my goals for December Stitch for the sake of stitching. I loved it.
Phill asked if I could make a couple of ornaments for his grandparents as well, as if I didn't have enough already! But we are going to see them this year when we're down in Canberra so I went yes definately. Not being sure if they would like penguins and since it gave me an excuse to make more of these lovely biscornus I decided to make 2 more of these.
Here is the start of a blue and silver biscornu in the same design. Rhodes stitches is silver metallics killed me!
Such a clever woman. It looks awesome.
I love your design for a biscornu. Looking forward to seeing your boxers. My two are here next to me snoring away.
I love your design and a biscornu as an ornament is a good idea.
What a pretty design. I love the color you chose as well. Have a great weekend!
Lovely! I don't blame her for wanting some on her tree!

Va començar amb l'Infantil B, i va créixer pujant de categoria del club blaugrana: Infantil A, el Cadet B, Cadet A i el Juvenil B.

Al final de la temporada 2004-2005, va ser un dels jugadors joves que apareixen dient "recorda el meu nom" a l'anunci "s'acaba la lliga, comença una era".

La temporada 2008-09, va ser al Juvenil A, on va ser capità de l'equip. A la mateixa temporada, va aconseguir el passaport espanyol, cosa que el permetia jugar com a comunitari amb el primer equip.

L'estiu del 2009, l'entrenador del Barcelona Atlètic, Luis Enrique el va triar per formar part del segon equip. Em comptes d'anar al segon equip, l'entrenador del primer equip Josep Guardiola i Sala, el va cridar per jugar la pretemporada a Anglaterra i la gira pels Estats Units amb el primer equip.

El 15 d'agost de 2009, en Jonathan va ser convocat pel seu primer partit oficial amb el primer equip: la Supercopa d'Espanya, contra l'Athletic Club, encara que al final, va ser descartat i va veure el partit com a espectador.

Dos Santos va debutar amb el Barcelona Atlètic el 5 de setembre contra el Mallorca B. El partit, va acabar en empat (1–1).

Dos Santos va fer el seu debut oficial amb el primer equip del FC Barcelona el 28 d'octubre de 2009 substituint a Seydou Keita el minut 80 en un partit de la Copa del Rei contra la Cultural Leonesa. El partit va acabar 2–0 a favor del Barcelona.

El juliol de 2014 el Barça va traspassar el jugador al Vila-real CF, per una quantitat que podria arribar als 2 milions d'euros, entre fixes i variables. A l'equip castellonenc, s'hi troba el seu germà gran Giovani dos Santos.

Carrera internacional
Va ser cridat per Javier Aguirre per la selecció de Mèxic el 22 de setembre de 2009, per disputar un partit amistós contra la selecció de Colòmbia, que va tenir lloc el 30 de setembre. En aquest partit, dos Santos va ser de l'equip titular, i va ser substituït el minut 72 per Patricio Araujo. Colòmbia va guanyar l'enfrontament 2–1.

Martijn Eickhoff to become new director of NIOD
As from 1 September 2021, Martijn Eickhoff will be appointed by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) as the director of the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies. He will succeed Frank van Vree, who is leaving his position due to his pending retirement but will stay on at the NIOD in a different position.
Eickhoff (1967) has been a senior researcher at the NIOD since 2006. Two years ago, he was appointed Professor by special appointment of the Archaeology and Heritage of War and Mass Violence at the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA) of the University of Groningen (UG). He studies the history, cultural dimensions and effects of large-scale violence and changeovers of power in Europe and Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries.
An important research theme in Eickhoff's work is the relationship between politics, heritage and violence. In collaboration with Marieke Bloembergen of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV), he is studying the transformations of archaeological sites in colonial and post-colonial Indonesia. This resulted in the monograph The Politics of Heritage in Indonesia. A Cultural History (CUP), published in 2020.
Eickhoff studied at the University of Amsterdam and the Freie Universität in Berlin before obtaining a PhD at the University of Amsterdam for his study into Dutch archaeology and its confrontation with national socialism.
In 2020, Eickhoff was interviewed by the UG about the vulnerability and resistance of heritage in times of war. Click here for a full overview of Martijn Eickhoff's projects, publications and additional positions.

Soccer is generally a boy's game because of all the running and kicking of the ball but there are girls who are inclined to play it too especially those who are competitive, who think that their gender is not a limitation for them to enjoy. They believe that if boys can do it, so can they. Of course watching and comparing how the boys and girls play, one will always be rougher and kicks higher and farther. That is why in competitions soccer trophies for girls are also available. Besides, no one wants to be called discriminatory especially in this time.

A children's hospice has been recognised for its innovative fundraising event in collaboration with sugar manufacturers Tate & Lyle Sugars.
Richard House Children's Hospice and the Silvertown-based company were awarded runners-up and received a certificate of commendation in the Challenge Event category at last night's Third Sector Business Charity Awards.
The novel team building challenge saw six teams of employees from the sugar giant take over six Richard House's charity shops for a day last year and compete to raise the most money.
Their efforts raised more than £25,000 for the hospice, which has made a huge difference to children and young adults with life-limiting illness, and their families who are supported by Richard House.
Fraser Chynoweth, Food Service Sales Director for Tate & Lyle Sugars said: "The Shop Challenge Day was as good as any corporate team building event we could have paid for, with the added benefit that all of the money went to a fantastic cause. We are delighted that the challenge and our strong relationship with Richard House was recognised at last night's awards."
Peter Ellis, Chief Executive at Richard House, said: "We are extremely grateful for the continuing support of Tate & Lyle Sugars, who have supported us for many years, and I thank everyone involved in making the Shop Challenge such a huge success. The accolade of receiving a commendation from the Business Charity Awards capped it all."
Tate & Lyle Sugars is based near the Beckton hospice and has supported the charity since 1999.

← UW pre-optometry students to the rescue!
Yesterday afternoon, during Stella's nap, I was working here at the computer with sunshine pouring in from the window when thought I detected the slightest noise behind me. I swiveled in my chair and was jolted by the sight of Stella, standing just a couple feet away. "Thriller" would've been an apt soundtrack for that moment. She scared the living crap out of me–but thankfully I only gasped and didn't scream. Stunned speechless by her stealth, I suppose. Come to think of it, her disheveled hair, squinting eyes not yet accustomed to light, and baggy sleep sack did give her a ghoulish look. She got out twice more before I finally gave up on that particular nap time and accepted our weekend fate: Shopping for a big girl bed. And perhaps a small bell to be sewn onto her pajamas.
