this is bbc news: i'm samantha simmonds with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a second night of violence in the netherlands as new coronavirus restrictions draw protesters onto the streets in the hague. as infection rates rise across europe, there's unrest too in austria, tens of thousands show their opposition to plans for mandatory vaccines. the world health organisation says it is very worried about the number of cases in europe, as the virus once again becomes the continent's biggest killer. success today does not mean success tomorrow because no country is an island. in other news, the us secretary of state warns of "real concerns" about russian activities at the border with ukraine. we don't know what president putin's intentions are
but we do know what's happened in the past. we do know the playbook. record numbers of migrants crossing the english channel prompt a review by the british government. and hundreds of tesla drivers are locked out of their vehicles, after the carmaker�*s app stopped working. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. we begin in the netherlands — and a second night of violent unrest over the dutch government's coronavirus measures. these are the latest pictures from the hague — where there is a heavy police presence and reports of rioters throwing stones and fireworks at officers. the police say four people are being treated in a rotterdam hospital
after friday night's protest there. demonstrations have also been taking place in a number of other european countries against coronavirus restrictions and compulsory vaccinations. i've been speaking to freelance journalist stephanie van den berg. she was in the hague when the clashes started, it's not like the full—blown rights will be saw but being fired with rubber bullets, but we are today, in rotterdam, police for the said two people were injured by bullets and now they said four, but that's all from yesterdays riots. i haven't heard any reports of gunshots today. but we do see all of the country, these pockets of unrest and people going out in the streets, trying to see what they can do, but also being met but the huge police presence not only in the
hague, but also in rotterdam and in any town that is rumoured to be a hotbed there. those figures are from the violence from those who are injured by rubber bullets. we don't have any updated information as to what is happened outside of the heavy police presence in fires being lived in the streets. what are people so angry about, where the being motivated to demonstrate like this? the main oint of demonstrate like this? the main point of the _ demonstrate like this? the main point of the demonstration - demonstrate like this? the main point of the demonstration is - point of the demonstration is that we have a current lockdown where bars and restaurants and clubs and other public spaces close at eight pm. but, the government announced that if that does not work, bringing down the record number of infections, that they might have to look at a system where unvaccinated people no longer will be able to have a green
check and the coronavirus app and cannot access bars and restaurants and so there will be restricted in their movements and that is what a lot of people are protesting about, the opportunity of having separate measures. find having separate measures. and the government _ having separate measures. and the government may have problems getting this through. because they don't have a majority, do they? we because they don't have a majority, do they? we have a caretaker _ majority, do they? we have a caretaker government - majority, do they? we have a caretaker government while l caretaker government while they're still forming the coalition party and one of the coalition party and one of the coalition partners is an orthodox christian party whose voters are also, there is part of them that aren't vaccinated because they believe it to be in gods hands and they already said they do not want separate pools for unvaccinated people and instead, they want a system for ever and has to be tested to go somewhere else of the
vaccinated people because the been going around and so, this is also right about something that the government might not even decide to do butjust the idea that this could be in the future something is what is getting people rounded up and what is getting people in the streets. the world health organisation has called on european countries to step up measures to curb the spread of coronavirus. dr hans kluge ? the who s regional director for europe — told us that while cases are high, the authorities know what actions to take: we are definitely worried but the good news is that we know what to do. let's look at the positive side. portugal and spain, they are implementing with they call a vaccination plus path. they're vaccinating and now boosted and also implementing the basic measures like masks, average 48% of the european
population is wearing a mask indoor. any percentage above that will have an immediate effect, much more attention to be paid for ventilation and finally, to new treatment protocols which have to be standardised. so why are we seeing this massive surge in cases? i put that question to virologist professor lawrence young from the university of warwick. i think it is a combination of insufficient vaccine uptake in the premature easing of restrictions and these countries that has contributed to the search and i think it just tells us that with this virus, there's absolutely no room for complacency. we look at countries _ room for complacency. we look at countries like _ room for complacency. we look at countries like austria - at countries like austria introducing compulsory vaccinations from february, is that the way forward for countries to have a low vaccination rate? i5 countries to have a low vaccination rate?- countries to have a low vaccination rate? is a very difficult — vaccination rate? is a very difficult issue _ vaccination rate? is a very difficult issue because - vaccination rate? is a very - difficult issue because there's a high degree of vaccine hesitancy and some of this is about mistrusting the
government and mixed messages from government and i'm not convinced that compelling people to get vaccinated in this way it's going to be successful. we are already seeing significant backlashes. and i wonder whether or not this has a lot to do with getting the message across about the fact that vaccines are very effective. we have seenin are very effective. we have seen in all of these countries across europe that vaccine significantly weakened the link between infections across this and hospitalizations willjust need to get a message across. you think it is about messaging which is been more successful in some countries than others than? i in some countries than others than? ., . , in some countries than others than? ., ., , ., ., than? i do. i really do and you have to be _ than? i do. i really do and you have to be mindful— than? i do. i really do and you have to be mindful of- than? i do. i really do and you have to be mindful of this - than? i do. i really do and you have to be mindful of this in i have to be mindful of this in the uk even though were slightly ahead of the curve because our search infection is in july and we because our search infection is injuly and we bought in boosterjabs and experiencing booster jabs and experiencing this boosterjabs and experiencing this search we now compounded by the winter weather and more
people indoors and poorly ventilated space and also the degree to which different country started to vaccinate their 12 to is—year—olds. that is also an important factor. 50 is also an important factor. so ou're is also an important factor. so you're saying we are ahead of the curve because we had our search back in the summer. i was winter modelling looking now going forward of the next few months, especially the booster vaccine is being made readily available for younger age groups? we readily available for younger age grows?— readily available for younger arr-erous? . , age groups? we an interesting situation and _ age groups? we an interesting situation and that _ age groups? we an interesting situation and that does - age groups? we an interesting situation and that does mean l situation and that does mean the same for complacency. missing the rights of about 10% in terms of case numbers over the last week but hospitalizations and deaths are starting to stabilise and possibly for the little bit in the uk. this boosterjabs are starting to have an effect and there's no question about that. as of the vaccinations for 12 to is—year—olds. but i do think we, like other countries, should be encouraging a cautious approach.
other news now: the us secretary of state antony blinken says his european allies share "real concerns" about unusual russian military activity on its border with ukraine. mr blinken�*s remarks came as american reinforcements for ukraine's navy sailed into the gateway to the black sea. kyiv has raised fears that russia may be preparing an attack. russia's president vladimir putin has accused the west of escalating tensions. our north america correspondent peter bowes has more. he is speaking on this again while visiting senegal. he spoke about this almost two weeks ago at the state department after a meeting with the ukrainian foreign minister when he also expressed concern, which we heard repeated by other leaders around europe that the russian authorities are building up their military hardware and troops along the border with ukraine, especially in the region of around 200 miles of the border. mister blinken described this as unusual and of great concern.
and that is the very reality of what is happening now. he also said he is concerned about the precedent of history and what is happened in 2014, the nation of russia in crimea. mister blinken referred to this is a playbook, a routine that is been seen before. the accumulation of forces and troops in the hardware followed by an invasion and the reason being given that essentially, russia was threatened, that it was a response and so, america's saying that it has seen this before and that is why there is concern about it potentially happening again. has russia responded at all? well, we have heard from president putin who has said that this is an escalation of tension by the western world. we have heard from others who have not denied that the
country is putting up these forces, but not any real explanation has been given as to why and it seems that is at the root of why the united states seems to some extent, the highest level to be perplexed in terms of how to respond to this, not knowing exactly what russia is doing and perhaps the further response that you refer to that the russian ship heading to the region, and equally, the united states does not want to inflame tensions if this isjust another case of president putin flexing his muscles with no intention of carrying out an invasion. at the moment, seems to be a wait—and—see situation while at the same time expressing very serious concerns. chinese state media has posted two videos purporting to show the missing chinese tennis star, peng shuai. the editor of the global times newspaper, who posted the videos, said they were filmed on saturday in beijing. the women's tennis association described the videos as insufficent, and has
threatened to pull its tournaments out of china unless it receives proof that peng shuai is safe. a major rescue operation has been taking place in southern india where flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains have killed at least 30 people. in one incident, three buses were washed away. analysts say unpredictable and extreme weather across south asia is driven by climate change, exacerbated by damming and deforestation, along with excessive development. thousands of demonstrators have turned out in paris to demand an end to violence against women. slogans on banners carried by the protesters included "no means no" and "educate your sons". the demonstrators are also calling for more equality between men and women and stronger government measures to fight sexism. high levels of volcanic ash on la palma island in the spanish canaries has once again forced the airport to close down. the cumbre vieja volcano has been erupting since late september, destroying buildings and plantations and forcing thousands to evacuate their homes.
there have been calls for calm in the united states after friday's court verdict that cleared a teenager of murder. eighteen year old kyle rittenhouse had argued he was acting in self—defence when he shot dead two men and injured a third during unrest last year over the police shooting of a black man. the not—guilty verdict has divided the country, as our north america correspondent nomia iqbal now reports. who's streets? our streets! hundreds of people marched through new york in protest at the verdict. in the city of portland, a riot broke out after protesters smashed windows and threw rocks at police. but nothing on the scale of last year's unrest. i'm alive but what . could've happened? after the verdict came out, he spoke to one of america's most conservative talk show host. tucker carlson. the jury reached the correct verdict _
self—defense is not illegal. i believe they came to the correct - verdict and i'm glad that everything - went well and it has been a rough - journey, but we've| made it through it. we made it through the hard part. - the case goes beyond what happened in this house in kenosha. for politicians, kyle rittenhouse for republican politicians, kyle rittenhouse is a brave patriot who was for republican politicians, kyle rittenhouse is a brave patriot who was defending himself that night after being chased. in many democrats are worried that by not being held accountable for killing two men and injuring the third, it sends a dangerous message. the vice president said the decision reflected poorly on the justice system. the verdict speaks for itself and as many of you know, i spend a majority of my| career working to make the criminaljustice systeml more equitable and clearly, there's a lot more to be done. president biden says he understands the angry and concern by some but struck a more measured tone. i stand by what the jury has concluded, the jury system works
and we have to abide by it. this case has exposed so many divisions that already exist in america about gun laws, racism and left versus right. the story of this teenager will do almost nothing to bring the sides together. this is bbc news. the headlines: a second night of violent demonstrations against covid restrictions in the netherlands, after the city of rotterdam was rocked on friday night. as coronavirus infection rates rise across europe, tens of thousands take to the streets in austria, in protest against a new lockdown and plans here in the uk, there's to be a review into how to prevent migrants crossing the english channel from france. it follows months of pressure on the government over record numbers of people making the journey. our uk political correspondent iain watson told us why this review is happening now: the government has to be seen
to be doing something because there are 24,000 crossings in there are 24,000 crossings in the channel and that's three times higher than last year. so, there is some political pressure in the pledge to take back control of the border but only yesterday, the labour leader was tweaking boris johnson's tail over this, promising but he can't deliver. butjust promising but he can't deliver. but just to be promising but he can't deliver. butjust to be a new initiative for the prime minister, of course, frustrated by the crisis. what he wants to see is across departmental focus on this like an covid—19. and for the cabinet officer minister, it is his problem solver and it seems like a bit of a poisoned chalice is going to work until next week or so and talk to different departments to see what they can do, but also come up what they can do, but also come up with some potential policy recommendations if any more are needed. that said, i'm not entirely convinced that a review will be up to do with some other initiatives have failed to do in the £54 million deal with france, for example, a thousand men to stop migrants
from setting sail and it stopped many, thousands of potential crossings but of course, as you mentioned, we have record numbers. and they've also tried various ideas that have not quite come to fruition, processing people of sure. what critics are saying and that is what is really necessary is the much deeper digging into the reasons why people feel they have to migrate, why they're leaving other areas in the middle east and north africa and coming to britain and the first place, i don't think there's enough but the reason why people would be coming to the shows in the first place. new footage has emerged of the latest attempts by migrants to cross the border from belarus into poland overnight. poland says belarus is now pushing over smaller groups of migrants at different locations. border guard officials say the migrants were violent, throwing stones and fireworks. hundreds of migrants remain in a warehouse on the belarusian side of the border, after a temporary camp at the border was cleared on thursday. a representative from the un refugee agency, who's visited
the logistics centre, has described conditions there as "horrible". our warsaw correspondent adam easton has more on the latest developments at the border. tensions have eased on the border somewhat when the largest which had over a thousand migrants in the belarusian authorities relocated those migrants to a logistics warehouse close to a closed border checkpoint. but the polish defense minister managed said on the radio this morning is that he noticed a change in the tactics, as you mentioned. no longer are they trying to have thousands of migrants in one place trying to get across the border, what they're trying to do is they're trying to push and help migrants numbers into different locations on the border crossing at night and we saw several attempts overnight and the biggest one was about 200 people according to the polish border guard agency and there
was some violent scenes where there were stones thrown in firecrackers throne, tear gas used in the migrants but planks across the razor wire fence and about 20 or more managed to actually get over until they are forced back by the polish forces, but there was some damage to police vehicles and one young family with the aim old daughter appeared to be distressed and they were taken to a polish hospital by ambulance but certainly it seems to be a change of tactics but doesn't seem to be, at least from the official side but crisis is easy, this is going to go on for many months and this is the new tactics that are implying smaller groups, different parts of the border each night. tesla drivers have reported being locked out of their cars, after the electric carmaker�*s app went down. dozens of owners say an error message on the mobile app prevented them from connecting to their vehicles. it's used as a key by drivers
to unlock and start their cars, although a key—card can also be used. tesla's chief executive, elon musk, apologised and said he would make sure the server error didn't happen again. our correspondent caroline davies has more: technology is designed to make our lives easier and we know the pain when it doesn't quite go to plan. yesterday, hundreds of tesla users reported that they were having difficulties using tesla as apple according to the down detector. the ceo of tesla tweeted firstly that they were checking the system and secondly later tweeted to say that the system should be back online again and we apologise and said that would not happen again. it is very important to emphasise that it's notjust the app, that is not the only way you can open up not the only way you can open up tesla cars, he can also is a key card to be able to get into them. but what was quite interesting is that i spoke to an academic intensely user and
when i spoke to him are there, he said that tesla can sometimes be a victim of its own success and advertises itself is very high—tech company in that it has cutting edge technology and its other things that many of the users appeal to them and that's why they want to purchase a tesla car in the first place in the giver used orjust relying on the technology and may be, don't leave the house of their keys as well. of course, it's like leaving your house and maybe just a phone, like leaving your house and maybejust a phone, hoping to pay contacts and if something goes wrong with the technology you don't have a credit card as well, you do not have an option to come up the technology might not always work, make sure you've got your keys as well. venezuelans go to the polls on sunday in regional elections. for the first time in a number of years, the opposition will be taking part ? and president nicolas maduro has also invited eu observers to monitor the vote for the first time in more than a decade. but will this make for free and fair elections? our south america correspondent, katy watson now reports from the state
of miranda. do you want change or more of the same asks the candidate. he is doing his best went over the people, pretty apt for a place where people have more faith in divine intervention than politicians to lift them out of poverty. politicians to lift them out of ove . ~ . ., poverty. we concede that the best leaders _ poverty. we concede that the best leaders are _ poverty. we concede that the best leaders are those - poverty. we concede that the best leaders are those in - poverty. we concede that the best leaders are those in the | best leaders are those in the community. and neighbourhoods they will grow from the burden up. disrupting politics and triumph over the political stalemate that the president has created.— stalemate that the president has created. this is a country where peeple _ has created. this is a country where people are _ has created. this is a country where people are so - has created. this is a country i where people are so desperate that political language must understand his hand—outs. in

i'm @ samanthatvnews. hello. it may have turned colder but along with that change, the skies in many areas on sunday will be a good deal bluer. in fact, that change on saturday in scotland once the colder air had moved on through and that now spread south right towards the uk. along with the sunshine, there's a chance of catching a shower and across eastern areas of the uk. this cold front is moving away and there will be behind the colder air, along with the clearer skies across the uk but that colder air has arrived. now, it will feel very different from everything we've had so far this autumn, but it is not at all unusual for the time of year. but there will be a touch of frost and parts of scotland in northern england as the day begins and as i said earlier, plenty of sunshine around.
with a scattering of showers in northern scotland, wintry hills, a few earlier on in northeast england becoming more widespread across the eastern side of england as we go on through the day. one or two heavier ones in there as well. whereas southwest scotland, northern ireland, wales, the western side of england, bar an isolated shower, it will be dry and sunny. there's a brisk breeze adding a chilly to average speeds around the coast of northern scotland, north sea coast, 40 mph gusts and temperatures for the most part in single figures, just 10—11 around some of the coast of wales and southwest england. we'll keep a few showers in the east overnight and into monday. and cloud increasing in northern scotland a few outbreaks of rain, with the cloud here, temperatures moving in with the wind along the north sea coast where as elsewhere, there will be a more widespread frost as monday begins. monday for england and wales will deliver quite a bit of sunshine, some cloud increasing in northern england
with the chance of showers towards the north sea coast and parts of southeast england. notice cloudier skies for northern ireland and scotland and some patchy rain for northern scotland with that, the temperatures are edging up again, a few degrees. temperatures actually rally for a few days in the week ahead before it later in the week, we have another push of cold air spreading its way southwards. and likely to be a touch colder than the air we find ourselves in at the moment. quite a lot of dry weather around this week, just a few showers here and there in the showers as the colder air moves in by friday will be wintry in places.
this is bbc news,
the headlines. rioting has broken out for a second night in the netherlands over new coronavirus lockdown restrictions. hundreds of people have lit fires and pelted the police with rocks and fireworks in the hague. the protests mirror friday night's violence in rotterdam. tens of thousands of protesters have been demonstrating in the austrian capital, vienna, about an impending lockdown and plans to make vaccination mandatory. it comes as the world health organisation says its worried about the rise in covid—19 cases in europe. it's once again the continent's leading cause of death. the us secretary of state has described russia's actions as "unusual" and its rhetoric as worrying amid a build up of russian military activity on its border with ukraine. kyiv fears that russia may be preparing an attack. anthony blinken says european allies share the us concerns.

Rococo Revitalize Skin Lightening Cream claims to inhibit hyper pigmentation, eliminate skin pigmentation and disperses melanin pigment – allowing this product to deliver brighter, lighter, and more even-toned skin. However, is this the best skin lightening solution available to you? The following review will examine various aspects of this product such as formula and customer support, in order to determine if this is a wise purchase choice.
What's in Rococo Revitalize Skin Lightening Cream?
Alpha Arbutin is a natural skin lightening agent that reduces the skin's melanin production through a process of hydroquinone release. Kojic Acid lightens the visible damage caused to the skin by sun exposure as well as scars, therefore, reducing signs of aging. Bearberry Extract is an antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental damage as well as lightens the tone and color of skin. In saying so, it's concerning that there is not a concentration provided for this ingredient as it needs to be effectively diluted in order to deliver results without damaging skin. Licorice Root Extract is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that controls oil production of the skin and soothes acne-prone skin. While these ingredients may prove beneficial in delivering some skin lightening results, the lack of any patented ingredients is a concern as these are third-party tested and clinically proven to deliver results – therefore, giving customers peace of mind. Other brands on the market include up to 5 patented ingredients, such as Alpaflor Gigawhite (which brightens and evens skin tone) and PhytoCellTec Alp Rose (which protects the skin from external and aging damages). What's more, the formula contains fragrances and colorant which may hold hidden ingredients that could be harmful to sensitive skin. There is no mention of this product being cGMP certified or cruelty-free, raising questions as to the quality and ethics of the production process.
How Do You Use Rococo Revitalize Skin Lightening Cream?
The manufacturer provides simple instructions on how to use this product. Simply apply a thin layer of the cream to the entire face and neck twice a day after washing the face. Then, massage the cream into the skin using a circular upward motion. This product is claimed to be quickly absorbed and suitable for all skin types. However, the lack of the concentration of active ingredients prevents us from starting if the formula is accurately dosed to deliver desired results.
Rococo Revitalize Skin Lightening Cream can be purchased from the manufacturer's website. A 60ml tub currently retails for $24.90 which is within the standard price range of products such as these. However, with a lack of patented ingredients, this price may not be justified. Furthermore, there are no bulk offers or discount deals available, which may make the sustained use of this product costly.
There is a 30-day period in which product may be returned for a refund, however, this only applies to products that are a result of a defective or incorrect order. This does not actually support customers who may not be satisfied with the product's effectiveness and is way below the market standard. This does not show much confidence in the manufacturer's perceived efficacy of this product, as they are not willing to back up their claims. Furthermore, there are many customer reviews online that claim that this product was ineffective for them and displayed no visible results.
Rococo Revitalize Skin Lightening Cream has a range of ingredients that may support the skin lightening process, however, the lack of patented ingredients may make this product less effective than alternatives on the market. While the price is somewhat affordable, the continual use for minimal efficacy may result in an accumulated cost that may become expensive. Although there is a refund policy, it does not actually back up claims as it doesn't support customers who may not like the product. These reasons, as well as many negative customer reviews sharing claims of inefficacy, is why we do not recommend this product.


In a landmark move, a nine-Judge-bench of the Supreme Court of India has upheld the constitutionality of entry tax. As per SC, protection under Article 301 does not apply to taxes.
Revenue of over Rs 30,000-35,000 crore per annum for state governments is at stake on account of the litigation by companies on entry taxes which is levied by a host state on entry of goods into that state.
Manufacturing companies had appealed that entry taxes restrict trade and freedom of movement of goods and therefore, violate rights under Article 301 of the constitution.
The jist of the argument of Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi was that now that GST bill has been passed, future entry tax issues will be resolved using those rules and the apex court need not interfere in the issue. But the Chief Justice was of the view that "lakhs of cases are pending across courts so what we feel is that past issues should be resolved first".
Being the first company to challenge an entry tax levied by Haryana in the Supreme Court, in 2002, Jindal Steel Ltd. contended it was beyond the power of states to impose tax on the inter-state movement of goods. Several companies filed similar petitions thereafter. All major companies including Vedanta, Hindalco, Adani, Reliance Industries, SAIL later joined the bandwagon.
In their arguments, counsels representing companies told the Supreme Court that striking down entry tax laws would pave the way for the much awaited Goods and Services Tax (GST) and smooth implementation of it.
However, states refuted these arguments by saying their sovereign powers should not be diluted as the right to levy and entry tax is essential to the division of tax powers between the Centre and states.
Hence, the states argued, that they have the constitutional right to pass laws on issues placed in the 'State List' and 'Concurrent List' defined under the Constitution, including the movement of goods.

The Democratic Party Has Taken Back the Flag
Just in time for Hillary Clinton's post-convention bus tour.
By Margaret Doris
PHILADELPHIA—Ain't nobody gonna rain on her parade.
Hillary Rodham Clinton planned to celebrate the launch of her fall campaign outdoors on Friday afternoon, with Independence Mall providing a historic backdrop to a massive rally. Instead, when the forecast called for thunderstorms, organizers scaled back and moved the rally indoors, to an old gymnasium best remembered as the home of the inaugural 1938 NIT champion Temple University Owls.
It didn't make no nevermind to the candidate.
"I don't know about you, but I stayed up really late last night. It was just hard to go to sleep," an ebullient HRC told the crowd of several thousand supporters gathered just hours after she formally accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for President. "When I woke up this morning, and Bill and I started drinking our coffee—or asking that it be administered with an IV—we suddenly looked at each other and we realized as of tomorrow, we have 100 days to make our case to America."
The kick-off event, the prelude to a three-day bus trip reprising the Bill Clinton/Al Gore 1992 post-convention swing, served as a formal introduction to the themes and images that will define the campaign in the weeks to come.
The Democratic Party has now taken back the flag. Red, white, and blue bunting festooned the balconies and railings in McGonigle Hall, and the campaign handed out American flags to the celebratory crowd. Unfortunately, the convention did not inspire a new campaign slogan. The Clinton/Kaine ticket is apparently sticking with "Stronger Together."
Donald Trump has travelled far on "Make America Great Again." Bernie Sanders' "A Future to Believe In" inspired over 13 million voters. Rolled out in late May, "Stronger Together" is by some counts the seventh slogan HRC has employed in the course of her campaign and sounds sadly like something the second string at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce came up with to promote a new compound laundry detergent.
On Friday, massive Bernie Blue "Stronger Together" banners and signs flanked the left side of the podium (on the right, large stenciled lettering on the walls suggested campaign tactics: GYMNASTICS. FENCING.) The candidate herself is on week two of her wedding dance song, entering and exiting with Tim Kaine to the strains of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (two points for going with Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell over Diana Ross).
"Donald Trump painted a picture, a negative, dark, divisive picture of a country in decline," she said Friday. "He insisted that America is weak, and he told us all, after laying out this very dark picture, that 'I alone can fix it.'
"Now, as I watched and heard that, it set off alarm bells, because just think about what happened here 240 years ago," she continued. "Think about our founders, coming together. A Declaration of Independence, writing a Constitution. They set up our form of government, the longest-lasting democracy in the history of the world. And you know they did it because they knew they didn't want one person, one man, to have all the power, like a king," she said. "I don't know any founder, no matter how strong they were, no matter how smart they were, that believed only one person could solve our problems."
As if on cue, a protester starting yelling "Hillary is a war criminal!" As he was escorted out, HRC seamlessly ad-libbed, "And I'll tell you something else—they also expected a kind of raucous debate in America. But at the end of the debate we have to come together and get things done."
She can expect to encounter protesters almost every day from here on in. Her ability to keep her cool, to handle protesters with grace and wit, will say much about the condition of the campaign.
"Stronger Together" is by some counts the seventh slogan HRC has employed in the course of her campaign.
Jody Sturgill, 43, travelled to Philadelphia from east Kentucky to volunteer with the Philadelphia Host Committee. Back home, he juggles the challenges of promoting tourism in Kentucky's impoverished coal region, advocating for LGBTQ causes, and supporting Hillary Clinton.
"I've been working for her since 2007," Sturgill explained at the conclusion of the rally, watching from a balcony as Bill Clinton worked to leave no hand unshaken. "I've met her in person like four times. She's a genuine person."
He continued, "What you see on TV seems more fake or projected. [In person] she seems more like an aunt or a grandmother." That's why he hopes the campaign puts Kentucky in play. "Everybody…thinks they're forgotten. She needs to come, let her voice be heard."
Drew Wicas, a rising senior at Franklin Marshall, and her sister-in-law, Erica Wong Wicas, a workers' comp litigator, got in line at 9 a.m. to secure a spot at the rally. Drew Wicas, a Sanders supporter, found the whole event "magical."
"Talk about someone that doggedly goes after something," she said, impressed.
"She just had this big convention, and she's ready to get going."
"I'm going to donate a buck or two" to the Clinton campaign, she said, taking a page from the Bernie Sanders playbook. "Everybody's got a buck or two. You're a college student, donate a buck or two."
The thunder held off, and the rains never came. The "bus" outside was really two "Stronger Together" buses, several charters, a couple of black SUVs, and a fleet of police escorts.
Finally, after a long and grueling primary season, the campaign was on the road again.

Q: Non-coprime solutions to x^n+y^n = z^2 Let $n$ be an odd prime. I know that the equation $x^n+y^n = z^2$ has no non-zero coprime solution in integers whenever $n \geq 5$, and that there are infinitely many solutions as soon as one drops the coprimality condition. As a curiosity, my question is: is there a way to parametrize all the non-coprime non-zero integer solutions to this equation (using different parametrization families, if necessary)? If it helps, take $n$ small, say $n = 5$ or $n = 7$.

A: The answer to the question depends on the parity of $n$.
Suppose that $n=2k$ is even. Let $(x,y,z)$ be a nonzero solution to your equation, with $y\neq 0$.
Then $(x/y,1,z/y^k)$ is also a solution of the equation. Hence to construct all the integral solutions you need to find all the rational points on the hyperelliptic curve $z^2=1+x^n$. For $n\geq 5$ there are only finitely many such points and for each point you find a one-dimensional family of solutions of the form $(tx,ty,t^k z)$ with $\gcd(x,y,z)=1$.
If $n=2k-1$ is odd then you can find all the integral solutions as follows. Let $x,y$ be coprime integers and write $x^n+y^n=ts^2$. Then $(tx,ty,t^k s)$ is a solution.
So $((x^n+y^n)x,(x^n+y^n)y,(x^n+y^n)^k)$, $x,y\in \mathbb{Z}$ parametrizes a subset of all the integral solutions. For fixed $x/y$ you will miss at most finitely many solutions.
However, I doubt that you can give an algebraic description of all the integral solutions.

We are so happy to hear from you!
Verity Vareé
She's casual. Criss- crossed legs. Her face is gentle and brave. Her accent is soft and warm, like an invitation. She sounds regal, perhaps because the sound is unfamiliar; perhaps from a quiet confidence. All I know is that I want to listen, to ask more questions to hear the sound of her "S's and L's" all afternoon. The way she says the word, "English" is enough to just melt your heart. If you're a romantic at all, hearing it will make you want to go to Norway and hear from a dozen more Norwegians just to listen to their accents. Her eyes get wide as she speaks and she seems to forget herself, to become more comfortable and expressive. Her humility is genuine. I've had my small baby with me as we've talked. She's been gracious and loving in between me attending to baby and distracting from the interview. If you are quiet and wait for her to grow comfortable, she seems to blossom, to expound on the hint of a person she shows in her initial quiet demeanor. Her eyes are kind, her soul is loving.
Since this interview Linnea has turned eighteen and moved back to Norway.
Emily: You're here as a foreign exchange student. How long have you been here in the States?
Linnea: Oh, I don't really remember! I think when I traveled I didn't sleep for almost fifty hours.
So, it's all mixed up. I think I've been here for nine months now, though?
E: How did you get involved with the foreign exchange program?
L: I have a lot of friends who traveled with this agency and recommended it because it was so great. I was searching online to find the best agency as well, but I really wanted to go on exchange. The other exchange agencies seemed fine, but not as good as the one I am with. There was a lot of paperwork to do, but it was worth it because I'd rather be safe even if it means a lot of papers to fill out.
E: What drew you to do exchange? Why did you want to travel to study?
She giggles.
L: Um, I wanted to...oh, get out. I wanted to get away from my town, to experience something new, another culture, another language. I've always wanted to learn how to speak English properly and in Norway we have English, but it's not the same as being in America where you have to speak English.
L: I wanted to go on exchange in middle school, but then other things came up. I'd never seen myself doing it. I've never been the person to do something like that. I'm more like the quiet and careful and "don't do it" kind, you know? I think I just wanted to do it and get some perspective on...on, you know, the United States.
E: What was your perspective before you came? What did you think of the U.S.?
L: I thought it was big. Now I think it is still big, but I don't know! I didn't know what to think about the people. But, now that I know people here I see they are very nice and I heard before that Americans were very nice and friendly which is the opposite of Norwegians.
E: Really?
L: Yes, people who travel say that Norwegians are not very friendly. And that's very true, too. If you go out to do your grocery shopping, people don't talk to each other at all; it's only people you know, but not to people you don't know. When I got here I saw, "Oh, yeah! People do that actually."
E: What have you enjoyed the most since being here in the States?
L: Probably speaking English and meeting the people. It's cool to say you know people in America, or you have friends that are Americans! It's going to be hard to leave everyone. I don't know if I'll ever see some of them again. So, that's strange, but you know that's how it is.
E: How old are you?
L: I am seventeen. I'll be eighteen in December.
E: Seventeen! You seem so much older!
She laughs.
L: Oh! You think so?
E: I would have guessed at least twenty.
L: Oh, well, oh that's funny I think. But yes, the stereotypical Norwegian doesn't talk to another Norwegian. I think the Petersons (her host family) read somewhere that we're like a coconut. So, a Norwegian sort of is hard on the outside and soft on the inside. It takes a while to get to know someone from Norway. That's true, but not everyone is like that. It's kind of hard to explain. It's very different than here. If you were in Norway and just started talking to someone it's kind of like, "Woah!" You know? You just don't do that.
E: What do you miss the most about Norway?
L: I miss my friends and family, of course. And the food I think. I really miss brown cheese and chocolate - Norwegian chocolate. It's the best chocolate ever! I miss meals, like the typical Norwegian meals. Sometimes I miss just talking to people in Norwegian. I miss the nature and the country. Virginia is more similar to Norway. We have a lot of mountains and fjords and trees. It's very green, but the town that I'm in is more agricultural. It's very flat and we have mountains too, but if you go north in Norway you have these big mountains and fjords. And the weather sort of depends. We can have all the seasons in one week. Like last year we had rain, snow, and sunshine all in one week. I think it depends on where you're at in Norway too, but where I'm from it's raining a lot and it's flat, so it's very windy.
E: Tell me about your family.
L: I'm a twin, so I have a twin brother and I have two older brothers. They are twenty and twenty six, I think? Yeah, twenty six. I'm actually one minute younger than my brother, so I'm the youngest. And my parents? My mom is a midwife in a hospital and my dad has a Ph.d in physical education, so he teaches teachers physical education. My twin is in England right now on exchange. When I wanted to go on exchange he didn't really want to, but he realized while I would be gone that he would be all alone. And he wanted to do something, to play soccer in England. So, he went to England on exchange.
E: Is that pretty normal, to go on exchange?
L: Yeah, I think it is becoming more normal. Students who are in my county and are on exchange, there are about 25 of us and that's more than there has ever been. So, yeah more people want to go on exchange.
E: Do you live in a pretty small town?
L: Yes! I live in a town with like fifteen thousand people I think.
E: Do you and your twin spend a lot of time together? Is that maybe why he wanted to go on exchange?
L: I think so. You know, one day he just said, "I want to go on exchange!" And I think my parents wanted him to go on exchange, as well. I don't know. I don't really know why. It's strange being so far away from him. I've been around him for seventeen years and it's strange to be the only child now with Lisa and Steve (her host parents) because I've always had a twin. That was kind of an adjustment, but it's okay.
E: Are you two very close?
She smiles softly.
L: Yeah.
E: And your older brothers, are you all close?
L: Yeah. My older brother, the oldest, is in Oslo, the capital of Norway. He's a photo journalist. So, he moved out a long time ago. And my second oldest brother is in north Norway right now and he's studying to be a lawyer. He moved out two years ago, I think. So, he's in college.
E: Do you have plans for what you want to do?
L: I have no idea. Still trying to figure it out. I'm considering teaching something.
E: And this experience has led you to want to keep traveling?
L: Yes! Actually I didn't decide to go on exchange until the last minute!
She chuckles.
L: Yes, I was actually too late for the deadline for exchange through this agency to go to the United States. But, before I decided to go on exchange we, as a family, decided to plan a trip to Africa and we started planning two years before the trip. We went last summer to Africa. It was for a birthday party for a friend of my mom's because she was turning fifty. I think because she had worked as a midwife in Africa, she wanted to turn fifty in Africa. At the time I still hadn't decided to go on exchange. I don't think we would have gone to Africa if I had decided to go on exchange because when I came home from Africa I had three days then I went to the United States. Yeah, so it was kind of crazy. But, it was really fun to experience Africa, too.
L: I just love to experience a new culture and meeting new people from another culture, so that was really special.
E: What about it is the most exciting to you?
L: To know a person, to see what's important in their lives. I can see the difference between Norway and that particular country. I just like getting to know people and their values and such.
E: Have you always been that way? Interested in other people in that way while growing up in Norway?
L: Not really. More in my teenage years than before. When I was younger I was really shy and quiet. I'm still quiet, but not as shy. Like, I hated meeting people because I was so shy, but now it's fun meeting people and talking to them. Yeah, you just see how different their lives are in so many ways. I don't remember when I started... I always liked traveling, but it was always with my family and not alone.
E: What was that fifty hours like from Norway here with no sleep?
L: It was awful in a way. Because I had just left my family and friends and I was on the plane like, "Oh my goodness. What am I doing? I'm not going to see my family for ten months. I'm all on my own and I don't have anyone!" In South Dakota where I'm staying I'm the only Norwegian out of all the students. I was really, really tired but I was excited to meet my host family. I don't know. I don't remember a lot from that time. It was all just mixed emotions.
She smiles.
L: I couldn't sleep at all because of the time difference. Seven hours.
Yeah, that was hard.
E: Did you feel scared at all?
L: When I applied for exchange I didn't feel nervous at all. Then I went to Africa only a few weeks before leaving for America. I didn't think that much about going on exchange for ten months, but the day before I left I was just freaking out. It was awful…the worst day of my life. I was crying all the time and when people came and said goodbye to me I was crying. Even just saying goodbye to my parents at the airport I was crying and they were watching me and I was like, "Agh!"
L: So, yeah. That was not good at all, but I'm glad that I did it. I think it's kind of strange that I didn't freak out before. I was kind of thinking that I wouldn't do it.
E: That you would pull out at the last minute?
L: Yes. And that that was okay, but I didn't. And the last day I knew I was going to go for ten months. So, that's how I felt.
E: You are very brave. Perhaps it was the realization and the weight of your decision that made you cry the day before?
L: Thank you. I think it's going to be even worse going home! Because I won't see most of them again. Like, I know I'm going to see my family again. But, I think about that I won't be able to see people here again and I'm terrified. I just know that I won't ever see them again. I don't know; life happens I guess. I have really good friends in South Dakota. And my host family, too, because I've lived with them for nine months now. It's going to be really hard. They're like my second family. And they haven't treated me like a guest. They've taken me to family and treated me like family, so I really appreciate that.
E: But, you said foreign exchange is becoming more normal in Norway?
L: Yes, it is. It's common in high school and college.
E: Are you excited to see your brother and hear of his adventures?
L: I've been Skyping with him a lot, so I've heard a lot already. But yes, I'm excited. His experience has been totally different from mine here. At his school he has Norwegian as a class, so that's very different from my experience here. And I'm excited to hear how he has changed as a person. I'm excited to see him how he is now because I haven't seen him in nine months!
E: How do you think you've changed the most since you came to America?
L: Oh, me? Hmm. I think I've become more outgoing...Ehh, I hope.
L: Yeah, I don't know. Just more… outgoing is the word for it. Because I am not afraid of talking to people anymore like I used to be. I stayed back a lot, I think. I wasn't afraid of what people thought of me, I was just different. I'm not like that anymore. It's kind of hard for me to tell, but I know when I go home my friends and family will tell me.
E: And what are you most excited for when you get back to Norway?
L: I still have my senior year left in Norway and I just got a job. I applied for a job back home, so I have that! I'll be starting to work and I'm excited for that.
E: Where will you work?
L: At a pharmacy actually. I'm just excited to be in Norway and be with my friends and family and catch up. And I don't know because I don't have any plans for after high school. I really want to go backpacking, or something like that.
E: What are your favorite activities?
L: I like being with my friends. I like reading, hiking and just running. I used to play soccer for seven years, I think? And then I just didn't want to anymore. It was just too much. I like experiencing new things and I like traveling.
E: What sorts of books do you like to read?
L: I like fiction a lot and I like true stories. Yeah, before I came here I didn't read a lot, but now I like to read a lot more because I got a Kindle from Drew. (A member of her host family.) And it's very handy because I use it a lot at school. It's really fun to use and I think I'm going to use it more when I get home. I really like to read. I just read everything.
E: What are you reading now?
L: Now I'm reading a series called "Pretty Little Liars."
E: How do you like it so far?
L: I like it. I watch the show.
E: Since you've been here in the U.S.?
L: No, at home. But I like the books better. It's not only series like that, though. I like other books, too. But, right now I just wanted to read those because I heard it was so different from the show.
E: Is that pretty typical, to watch a show from the United States in Norway?
L: Mhm, I actually watch more American shows than Norwegian. We don't have any Norwegian shows really. Well, maybe a few but they're not my type of shows. We have a lot of American TV.
E: And does the same go for your music?
L: Mhm. More American music than Norwegian music. And we have Norwegian artists that sing in English because only five million people know Norwegian, so if they sing in English they have more of a response.
E: Did you learn English in school very young?
L: Second grade. It's required to take in preschool, middle school and the first year of high school. Before I came here I never spoke English with anyone other than my English teacher. So, when I came here, I realized that I had to speak English. It was kind of hard at first because I had to translate everything in my head. I could understand almost everything, it was just hard to speak it. So, it's going much better now.
E: How has speaking English helped you in discovering American values?
L: Being in high school here they are focusing more on America and the United States and not much on other countries. I don't know, it's fun to communicate with Americans in English. I'm understanding better now that I can speak to them and not be in Norway.
E: What do you think the biggest difference is between you and Americans?
L: I'm not sure. I think that's more like how you've been raised. Values for me are not the same as values for Americans because they have totally different lives than me.
E: What are your greatest values?
L: Family. Family and friends are the greatest values for me because they are always there for me. I've actually learned more about myself here than being in Norway because I know I am different. I know I am not an American.
E: What have you learned about yourself?
L: I've learned that I have to go after my dreams. I've learned that I have to do something and I have to do it without thinking that much about it. In Norway I was overthinking things. I found out that I have to listen to myself, too. And that I have to just be myself. I've learned that I have to trust people, because when I came here I did not know anyone. I've become more independent because I've come to know a lot of people and they've become very important in my life.
E: What is your relationship with your family like?
L: When I was younger I was my dad's little girl. I was always with him and now we are very close still. We always do stuff together. We run together, we hike together and that's with both my parents. Yeah, I can say everything to them and they don't judge me or anything like that. They support me and they know what's best for me, so they give me advice. My brothers have always been protecting me because I'm the only girl and I'm the youngest. Yeah, we are just very close and we do everything together. We go hiking and we play board games and just talk about stuff. Now I don't see them as often as before and the time with my brothers is more valuable.
E: What are your favorite things to do with your family?
L: Play board games!
I really like playing board games with them. Just spending time with them. It doesn't matter as long as I'm with them. Like, around Christmas when everyone is home and we just talk about different things and we just have fun.
E: Do you have any traditions as a family?
L: We do. Around Christmastime we play a lot of board games. We have movie nights and such. I know we have more, I just can't seem to think of them right now.
E: Of course, because you just do them! Do you have a favorite holiday?
L: I love Christmastime. My favorite season is probably summer because I feel like you can do so much more in the summertime than during the winter. In Norway we have mild winters and cold summers, but still get some nice weather. We don't have any school in the summer. I just feel like it's more free in the summer. I love December so much because we have so many traditions around Christmas, not just in my family, but Norway in general. Like, every day in December when we were younger, but we used to get a present, or something. We used to be four of us kids, then there were three of us at home and we got a present every third day. That was from December first to the twenty-fourth we would get a present. That was just something fun because it was something exciting to look forward to. And then we have TV shows that are only on during Christmas, they are really old TV shows and just very fun to watch. I don't know, I like Christmas a lot, but I like the season of summer more.
E: What do you think are the most obvious traits about you.
L: That I'm very careful and that I am there to help them. And that I am always happy…I hope!
Most of the time, yeah. And people know they can always trust me and my friends know that I am always there for them. I am adventurous and quiet and very calm. I am…nice? I like to help people. Yeah, I'm just, well …I'm happy!

The state of Alaska has released the findings of its 2016 summer visitor intercept survey. Conducted by McDowell, the Alaska Visitor Statistics Program is Alaska's most comprehensive visitor report. The full report is online through the state's Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development.
The Alaska Visitor Statistics Program 7 includes research on all aspects of Alaska summer visitation. The report is a valuable trove of information about the demographics, preferences and habits of Alaska travelers. It explains who comes, how and when they book, what they do while here, and satisfaction with their experiences. That's just the tip of the iceberg: it provides the most detailed information about regional differences in visitation, and nuanced information about visitors and their habits crosstabbed against a whole host of interests, travel patterns, and Alaska locations.
The findings incorporate extensive surveys conducted with real travelers during intercepts across the state in the summer of 2016. Put plainly, it's the best single resource for information on our travelers.
It may be tempting to skim the executive summary and call it a day. But the detailed data is a far greater prize for businesses. The summary profiles are much more specific. Want to drill down to visitor habits in Southcentral, or even those in individual cities and towns in the region? It's there. Need to get in the mind of a cruise passenger? Yep. Repeat visitors, small ship cruisers or B&B guests? Yes, yes and yes.
At minimum, review the Southcentral Alaska Regions and Communities summary profile. The information is much more specific about your visitors than the statewide information.
For example, Southcentral travelers (and those who include Anchorage in particular) are much more likely to be independent travelers, who didn't purchase a package. Anchorage also gets a whopping 92 percent of the state's fly/drive visitors, those who entered and exited Alaska via air and rented a vehicle. That information alone could inform a whole year's marketing, and it's merely the beginning.
This study is typically only conducted every few years, and with the state budget being what it is, it is unclear when we might get another update. The study is most applicable to business decisions now and for next summer. The older the data gets, the less useful it will become.

A Utah Desert's Unlikely Gem
Bosse and other environmental entrepreneurs are proving that there is a market among outdoor enthusiasts for recreational opportunities in natural settings.
Laura Huggins
The Mojave Desert in southwest Utah is desolate and dry, until Highway 18 takes you across a canyon that is overflowing with lush greenery, sheer rock walls, and gin-clear springs. Locals have known about this unique oasis—dubbed Crawdad Canyon—for many years. As long ago as 1920, travelers on the Old Spanish Trail could pay to swim and relax here, and the family of homesteader "Gramps" Cottam ran it as a low-key recreational area until 1995.
But it was only in the past decade that Crawdad Canyon acquired its unique new identity: a private climbing resort, among the first in a wave of eco-sensitive, specialty vacation destinations. In addition to a restored pool and other amenities, the canyon now features 200 bolted climbing routes ranging from 5.6 (a couple of pull-ups and a few flights of stairs) to 5.13 (two finger pull-ups, ten flights of stairs, several sit-ups, and the splits) winding their way along the 80-foot basalt walls. There are belaying benches, manicured paths, and brass plaques at the base of each climb with the name and rating.
What do you get when you cross a Willie Nelson look-alike with the personality of Richard Branson?
Answer: Jim Bosse
A local non-profit climbing group, the Southern Utah Climber's Coalition, manages the climbing area, collecting the $8-a-day climbing fee, maintaining the trails, bolts, and bridges, and offering guide services. In return, the group gets 20 percent of revenues and a few months a year of exclusive access. "The unexpected appearance of so much in the midst of so little creates an instant desire to explore and the lure of relief is irresistible," said rock climber and author Todd Goss, who my family met in the summer of 2008 after succumbing to the allure of Crawdad Canyon.
The climbing was outstanding, but even more exceptional is the story of the man whose vision inspired this first-of-its-kind private climbing park.
A Vision for a Canyon
What do you get when you cross a Willie Nelson look-alike with the personality of Richard Branson? Answer: Jim Bosse. After becoming bored with his day job as a developer, consulting for Hollywood films on the side, and his hobby of horseshoeing, Bosse escaped California to find something special in a canyon hidden in southern Utah. The special came as a combo platter of rock climbing, a natural springs pool, camping, crawdad fishing, wild turkeys, and french fries—all within a two-mile radius. This combo is now attracting guests from all over the world, and the campsites are booked a year in advance for select weekends.
If climbing is not your cup of tea, there are other types of recreation parks popping up. For example, Texas rancher, Trey Hill, now supports himself full time with a bike resort that offers 40 miles of trails, camping facilities, trailer hookups, and a restaurant. Hill hosts about 150 paying riders every Saturday.
Long before Bosse, "Gramps" Cottam acquired the land and water rights to the Santa Clara River and adjacent natural spring via the Homestead Act. He started charging travelers 15 cents for a dip in the pool and another quarter if they wanted a wagon ride up the other side of the steep canyon. The pool and property stayed with the Cottam family until 1995, when Bosse came along and convinced the family that he had the resources to revive the property without building a conference center. According to Morris Atwell, friend of Bosse and the current manager of Crawdad Canyon, "Jim saw the remains of a worn down pool and overgrown canyon and immediately had a vision of a beautiful recreation resort."
Within a year of purchasing the property, Bosse turned the small, dilapidated pool into a flourishing oasis. He expanded the swimming area, built decks and bridges over the river, refurbished the restaurant, groomed paths through the dense cottonwoods filling the canyon floor, and established camping areas.
During construction of the pool and campsites, Bosse couldn't help but notice the hoards of climbers literally hanging around southern Utah. He had just purchased 45 acres of a rocky canyon. Bosse put two and two together and his entrepreneurial spirit perked up once again.
On one of Bosse's trips to a local lumber store, he saw a large climbing structure in the parking lot. He dropped his shopping list and ran over to see climber extraordinaire Todd Goss doing a demo. Goss recalls a "hairy, flannel shirt redneck" running up to him to chat before he could even get his harness off. Bosse raved about the "black rock" in his canyon. Goss tried to ignore him, but Bosse was persistent and before he knew it he was in Jim's truck "heading out to Crawdad."
Sure enough, there was "gold in them thar hills"—Bosse's black rock turned out to be Basalt, with plenty of pockets and cracks for climbing, plus shade and a stream (valuable commodities in the desert). Bosse wasn't one to dabble around and he quickly recruited Goss, Michal Nadd, and a few other folks from the Southern Utah Climbers Coalition to start clearing the canyon and preparing the routes.
The crew was committed to not only creating the first private climbing park, but also preserving one of the most pristine climbing areas in the United States. Nadd recalls the season of sleeping on a futon in the women's restroom as being one of his best. And Goss, who lived in a broken down house on the property while setting routes, remembers being inspired by seeing "a millionaire [Bosse] wash his hair in an old trailer house sink because he wanted to live on the property during the renovation."
If it's water you're looking for, Bear Paw Outdoor Adventure Resort for Canoe and Kayaking, located in Wisconsin's Wolf River territory, is designed for the outdoor enthusiast.
Although the team was dedicated to creating Crawdad Canyon Climbing Area, they made sure they had fun in the process. Goss recalls the day Bosse collapsed in his lawn chair to enjoy a margarita after hours of clearing debris. He watched a few climbers finish bolting a new route then jumped up and declared (after his second drink) that it was time for him to try climbing. Sporting tennis shoes, jeans, and a full belly, Bosse pulled off the first ascent of "Chef Sherry." Upon completion, he bellowed, "I am the best climber in the world—I have now done it all!"
A Sad Turn, But a Bright Future
Unfortunately, Bosse's love affair with Crawdad Canyon may have contributed to his ill-timed death in 1998. After a hard day's work in the canyon, Bosse, who had a heart condition, died of a heart attack. He knew this was a possibility, but his passion drove him to live life to the fullest and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit of the West.
Although this epic tale includes sorrow, Bosse's memory and inspiration live on. His goal was to create a place where lives could be enriched and people could become aware of the natural environment— all while earning a living from revenue generated from the outdoor mecca (Bosse recouped his initial investment of $350,000 in two years). His objective has been accomplished at Crawdad Canyon and is now being replicated elsewhere.
Bosse's vision has inspired other "enviropreneurs" to invest in private recreation resorts. The Johnson family learned of Crawdad Canyon and started developing a climbing area at their Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in the Ozarks of Northwest Arkansas. With the constant stream of pro climbers visiting Horseshoe, climbing has attracted the spotlight and guests are coming from far and wide for the chance to climb the coveted sandstone. Jason Roy, Adventure Activities Director and Head Climbing Guide, says, "The draw to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch is the close proximity to camping and safely bolted moderates [routes]. It's like luxury climbing … and the climbs are so diverse from slabs, to cracks, to steep overhangs, and massive arêtes." It has much to offer in addition to climbing. Horseshoe Canyon's guest ranch packages include horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, shooting, disc golf, cookouts, and various lodging accommodations such as tepee camping.
The pool and property stayed with the Cottam family until 1995, when Bosse came along and convinced the family that he had the resources to revive the property without building a conference center.
If it's water you're looking for, Bear Paw Outdoor Adventure Resort for Canoe and Kayaking, located in Wisconsin's Wolf River territory, is designed for the outdoor enthusiast. Whether it is a quiet paddle across a lake to see an eagle's nest, or the thrill of navigating the rushing whitewater in a canoe or kayak, Bear Paw has a staff of professional kayakers standing by to help. Other activities include fly-fishing, yoga, and, in the winter, skiing and snowshoeing.
While much of nature-rich land is being developed in the form of subdivisions and strip malls, Bosse and other environmental entrepreneurs are proving that there is a market among outdoor enthusiasts for recreational opportunities in natural settings.

Q: Windows Phone 7, Conditional Rectangle fIll to new ImageSource possible? So I have a seemingly simple question:
How do I go about coding an "if rectangle.fill is X, change fill to this specific image" in C#? Here is my rectangle in XAML:
<Rectangle Height="auto" Width="auto" x:Name="Honey" ManipulationStarted="Honey_Started">
                    <Rectangle.Fill>
                        <ImageBrush ImageSource="image100.jpg" />
                    </Rectangle.Fill>
                </Rectangle>

That was simple, but how would the code behind look? The following example is obviously wrong, but am just including it to hopefully show what I wish to accomplish.
private void Honey_Started(object sender, ManipulationStartedEventArgs e)
    {

        if (Honey.Fill == image100.jpg)
        {
            Honey.Fill = 900image.jpg;
        }
    }

A: Instead of checking the filename of the Fill, you could change the Rectangle's Tag property (or create your own UserControl). Then, for example, you could do this:
<Rectangle Height="auto" Width="auto" x:Name="Honey" ManipulationStarted="Honey_Started" Tag="image1">
       <Rectangle.Fill>
             <ImageBrush ImageSource="image100.jpg" />
       </Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>

I've added Tag="image1" as an attribute in your Rectangle. You can then access this in the codebehind and check.
private void Honey_Started(object sender, ManipulationStartedEventArgs e)
    {

        if (Honey.Tag.ToString() == "image1")
        {
            ImageBrush ib = new ImageBrush();
            BitmapImage bImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri("900image.jpg",UriKind.Relative));
            ib.ImageSource = bImage;
            Honey.Tag = "900image.jpg";
            Honey.Fill = ib;
        }
    }

There are other methods as well. All I've done in the Honey_Started event is create a new ImageBrush in code, assigned it an image (900image.jpg) and then set that ImageBrush to be the Fill value for the rectangle.
An alternative method could be two store the two ImageBrushes as a class level variable and use them to compare the value.
BitmapImage biImage100 = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Jar/image100.jpg",UriKind.Relative));
ImageBrush ibImage100 = new ImageBrush() { ImageSource = biImage100 };
ImageBrush ib900image = new ImageBrush() { /*assign the 900image.jpg image*/ };

     private void Honey_Started(object sender, ManipulationStartedEventArgs e)
     {

           if (Honey.Fill == ibImage100)
           {
                Honey.Fill = ib900image;
           }
     }

I'm male 31y/o 1.8m tall and weigh(ed) 105kgs.
I was told by doctor too loose some extra kgs because of hypertension. I need to shed about 10kgs.
Its been 2 weeks now since I've started some exercise and eating healthier.
exercise is 3 times a week for 45mins each ( Stepping day 1, Boxercise day 2 and Yoga day 3 ) I feel much more energetic and flexible (loose) since I started exercising.
You may be gaining muscle tissue which weighs more than fat tissue or you may inadvertently be eating more because of exercising. You can also try the DASH Diet which was developed to lower bp and should help with weight loss. Click on 'Diet' at the top of this page and then on 'Food as medicine' and 'Hypertension' and get a copy of the DASH Diet.
Because your present BMI = 32,4 it is advisable that you lose weight. To get your BMI back into the normal range, e.g. 25, you would have to weigh 81 kg, but start off with those 10 kg, they will make the world of difference.
Keep up the good work with the exercise.

The Valley of Wyoming: The Romance of Its History and Its Poetry. Also ...
Por Lewis H. Miner
PREFATORY NOTE.
The Summer tourist, or the traveller from foreign lands, often finds himself embarrassed by the great variety and exquisite beauty of American scenery. In such a moment of doubt, let him decide in favor of that matchless valley declared by Colonel Stone to be superior in its real charms even to Dr. Johnson's ideal of the Happy Valley of Amhara, which he describes as the perfection of an earthly abode.
The decision being made, the traveller has looked in vain for a little hand-book to serve as an intelligent guide to the natural curiosities and beauties, bloody fields and antiquities, of Wyoming. He could hardly find a separate copy of Campbell's imaginative and exquisite poem. He was fain either to supply himself with the voluminous and exhaustive pages of Miner, and similar works, or he must trust himself to the disjointed and sometimes rhapsodized legends of the cicerones of the valley.
This little volume, which has not the slightest claim to be either a history or a study of romance, is presented as just such a hand-book as the tourist will need. The visitor to Wyoming will find it a guide to his feet, and the visitors of former years may in its pages renew the charming itinerary at their own firesides.
In the extracts here presented may be found the true romance of the history of Wyoming, most romantic because simply true.
The brief compilation given will serve to interest the visitor, and the slight sketch of men and events will need no very vivid imagination to reproduce for him the figures of the early colonists, to conjure up the desperate conflicts, the Indian war-whoop, the shrieking women and children, the smoking desolation.
The great poem of Campbell has been appended; for although it is not entirely true to external nature, it is most delicately true to human nature, and appeals directly to the human heart. It, more than veritable history, has made known the sad story of Wyoming wherever the English language is read; and it will perpetuate that story where histories are unknown, and when histories shall be forgotten. "Oh, happy privilege of genius," says Leigh Hunt, in speaking of Priam before Achilles, " that can reach out its hand from a thousand years back, and touch our eyelids with tears !"
It is worthy to be remembered in passing, that the beauty of "Susquehanna's side," as depicted by Campbell, gave to the great Lakers their idea of selecting it as a spot upon which to try their wild scheme of Pantisocracy at the beginning of this century, a scheme abandoned while in embryo.
Nor is this the only poetic garland hung among the wild flowers on her ruined wall. Our own Halleck, dreaming in the happy valley, one day wakened into sudden song, declaring, as he gazed :
" Nature hath made thee lovelier than the power
Even of Campbell's pen hath pictured."
A few other poems, chiefly of local and antiquarian value, have been added for the tourist's behoof, and he may thus move among the Wyoming people to the songs of their own making.
New YORK, 1866.
INTRODUCTORY.
WYOMING! who has not heard the name of the beautiful valley through which the Susquehanna glides, "fair Wyoming," with her mountain walks, her storytelling glens, her founts and brooks, and maids as dewdrops pure and fair, which the soul with grandeur fill, and melody and love?
Who has not heard, too, her sad story? It has been elaborated by the pen of the historian, and immortalized in the lofty rhyme of the poet. Wyoming ! thine, indeed, was the fatal gift of beauty, that dowry which is so often fraught with woe to its inheritor. For its possession and enjoyment contending tribes of the red men fought ; and when wrenched from their grasp by force, or fraud, or treachery, and white men, bearing the casket of a better civilization, had come within her borders, and she had received the baptism of blood as a seal, even then followed contentions, and tumults, and bloody wars between factions of the pale faces: the issue was to decide which should have her to hold and to enjoy. It is not to be wondered at that the poor Indian, untaught, selfish by intuition, and believing in the law of might, should have fought long and well to retain the possession of that which to him was a terrestrial paradise.
There were no nobler hunting-grounds, nor a more beautiful wigwam-home. Nature was lavish of supply, and prodigal of health and happiness.
Here was the mountain, the plain, and the river, each of its kind the noblest; the mountain for hunting, the river for fishing, and the plain for planting. But why, after its possession by the white man had been secured, brothers with brothers should contend, it is not designed in this compilation fully to explain. A few brief facts we shall give, and let our readers gather the philosophy for themselves.* It is the old paradox of pundit and poet :
" Strange—that where nature loved to trace,
As if for gods a dwelling-place,
And every charm and grace had mixed
Within the paradise she fixed,
There man, enamored of distress,
Should mar it into wilderness."
* For the materials from whence this brief compilation is derived, we are mainly indebted to Miner's, Chapman's, and Stone's Histories of Wyoming.
