GAILEY, BURGESS RE-SIGN
(February 14) — The York Revolution have announced three more signings for the 2017 season, bringing back left-handed starter Frank Gailey and lefty slugger Michael Burgess, while adding reliever Joe Van Meter. The signings were announced Monday evening by Revs manager Mark Mason on "Revs Hot Stove Weekly presented by Shipley Energy" on SportsRadio 1350 WOYK.
Gailey returns for his third season in York and will be with the team at the outset for the first time. The southpaw originally signed with York in June of 2015, going 5-3 with a 3.21 ERA during his first season with the Revolution, also his first year as a regular starter. Last year, Gailey joined the team in mid-May and became the ace of the staff, going 6-5 with a 3.14 ERA. A career reliever prior to his time in York, the Philadelphia native was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2007 and also pitched in the Philadelphia Phillies and Oakland Athletics organizations. The 31-year-old enters his 11th pro season with a 42-29 lifetime record and a 2.90 ERA.
"We're definitely looking at him to be in the starting role again and possibly even the Opening Night starter coming off the year he had last year," said Mason on WOYK. "I know he's excited about coming back, and we're excited about having him back."
Burgess heads into his second season with York after batting .275 with eight home runs and 31 RBI in just 43 games last season, sandwiching a stint in Mexico. Burgess burst onto the scene with eight RBI in his first three home games with York, including a grand slam to start a club record-tying seven-run comeback on May 25 vs. Southern Maryland, the biggest comeback in PeoplesBank Park history. The 2017 season will be his third in the Atlantic League, as the Tampa native originally signed with Somerset, where he belted 15 home runs in 2015, helping lead the Patriots to a league championship. Drafted 49th overall out of high school by the Washington Nationals in 2007, Burgess has reached the Double-A level with the Nationals, Cubs, Astros, and Orioles organizations, and owns 155 home runs and 609 RBI in his pro career.
"He was hungry to come back, and we know what kind of damage he can do," commented Mason. "He can be one of the most devastating hitters in the league especially from the left side. He's a middle-of-the-lineup impact guy. He loves hitting in our ballpark…he really loves hitting in all of the ballparks."
Van Meter signs with York after making his Atlantic League debut late last season, appearing in nine games with Southern Maryland. Originally a 21st round draft pick of the Texas Rangers out of Virginia Commonwealth University in 2010, the 28-year-old right-hander spent his first four seasons in the Rangers farm system, having also pitched in the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles organizations, reaching the Double-A level. Van Meter owns a 4.11 career ERA in 164 appearances, including 44 starts.
"I knew Joe and actually had some conversations with him a couple of years ago," said Mason. "We know he's a back-end of the bullpen type of pitcher. He's going to throw hard. I know he threw really well at the end of last year. He's healthy, and he's ready to pitch."
The Revs now have six players signed for the upcoming season and will continue to unveil preseason signings live each week on "Revs Hot Stove Weekly presented by Shipley Energy", with the next episode set to air on Wednesday, February 22nd at 6:30 p.m. immediately following "The Baltimore Baseball Show" on SportsRadio 1350 WOYK.

Home India Farmers burn copies of farm laws on Lohri
Farmers burn copies of farm laws on Lohri
Posted By: Editor State Timeson: January 14, 2021 In: India, Top StoriesNo Comments
Chandigarh: Farmers in Punjab and Haryana burnt copies of Centre's three farm laws on the festival of Lohri on Wednesday to protest against the legislations.
The harvest festival of Lohri is celebrated in Punjab, Haryana and other parts of north India, and bonfires are an important part of the festivities.
In Ludhiana, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders also burnt copies of the new farm laws.
Protesting farmers owing allegiance to different farm bodies held protest at many places in the state and burnt copies of the legislations.
Farmers also shouted slogans against the BJP-led central government and slammed it for not acceding to their demands.
Farmers, including women, under the banner of Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, held a protest at Pandherkalan village in Amritsar.
"We burnt the copies of the farm laws as a mark of protest against these legislations," said committee's general secretary Sarwan Singh Pandher.
Similar protests were also being held at other places in Amritsar.
"Until the Centre accepts all the demands of farmers, our agitation will continue," said Pandher.
"We will not accept these farm laws as they are not in the interest of the farming community and the government should repeal these legislations," said a protester.
Farmers also burnt copies of the new farm laws at other places, including Hoshiarpur, Sangrur, Kapurthala and Ludhiana in Punjab and Karnal, Gohana, Dabwali in Haryana.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh greeted people on the occasion of Lohri.
In a tweet, he said, "Let's all take a minute to pray for strength to our farmers and their families who are braving the bitter cold and fighting for our future generations."
In Ludhiana, the AAP leaders paid tributes to farmers who died during the ongoing agitation. They also observed a two-minute silence in their memory. Several AAP leaders were present on the occasion, including state unit chief and MP Bhagwant Mann, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Punjab Legislative Assembly Harpal Singh Cheema, Deputy Leader of Opposition Sarabjit Kaur Manuke, MLAs Principal Budhram, Baljinder Kaur and Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer.
Mann said the farmers' movement has now become a "mass movement", claiming that these laws are "dangerous" for every section of the society.
Farmers have been protesting peacefully on the roads for the last several months but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not listening to their plight, he said.
MLA Harpal Singh Cheema said that the AAP had been opposing the "black laws" from the day one.
"Today the AAP was burning copies of black laws in every village, street and locality across the state and was paying homage to the martyred farmers," Cheema said. Farmers who have been camping at the Delhi borders are demanding a repeal of the farm laws and a legal guarantee to the minimum support price for crops.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday had stayed the implementation of controversial farm laws till further orders and decided to set up a 4-member committee to resolve the impasse over them between the Centre and farmers' unions.

Beer Guy: Could Stroh's make return?
Tony Kiss
tkiss@gannett.com
In the beer world, brands can rise, fall and return. Pabst Blue Ribbon was once a great blue collar brand, then slowly vanished, and is now hot with the hipster crowd. Schlitz was a national powerhouse before slipping away, then making a return.
So could this happen to Stroh's beer too? There was a day when Stroh's was enormously popular before a mighty collapse. The brand was sold to Pabst, which owns many great old brews. But it has had little profile in recent years.
The story of Stroh's is told in a new book "Beer Money," by Frances Stroh, a member of the famed beer family which watched its fortune slip away. There's also news this week that Stroh's will again be brewed in Detroit, it's home for so many years. But whether it will ever make its way into the hands of many beer drinkers again is still very uncertain. It still has strong name recognition, but will require serious marketing to get drinkers to embrace the brand as it once did.
Stroh's dates to 1775 in Germany. By the mid 1800s, it had set up shop in Detroit. The brand continued to grow. By 1908, it was using a system called fire brewing, which you might recall became something of a trademark. It survived Prohibition by turning out such products as near beer and ice cream.
In 1964, Stroh's began the path that eventually led to its demise. It purchased Goebel Brewing with plans of at becoming a national brand. It did achieve that goal, and in 1982, after buying out Schlitz, it was the nation's third largest beer brand. But it took on lots of debt and was never able to fend off the rivals of Budweiser, Miller and Coors, which came east with its own expansion. Pabst took over in 1999. And thus began the slow fade away.
Maybe Stroh's would have never really survived the craft beer revolution anyway. There are so many brands out there and a lot of beer gets squeezed out of valuable space in the grocery store cold shelves and even on the floors. Every time a new local beer is being bottled or canned I wonder where it will go on the groceries and even in the specialty stores. Someone arrives and someone is bid farewell.

We call it holistic conservation, or joined-up conservation. It's when the animals at our zoos and our fieldwork on the ground tie together to form a single logical thread.
The two of us recently travelled to Indonesia to visit our Selamatkan Yaki project, which works with Critically Endangered Sulawesi crested black macaques (Macaca nigra). The species can be seen at both Paignton Zoo and Newquay Zoo; in addition, Holly coordinates a key conservation programme for the species in European zoos. Selamatkan Yaki means "Save the Sulawesi macaque".
We went out to help organise and attend the second Species Action Plan workshop for Macaca nigra at which we gave a talk on the role of zoos in macaque conservation. We also went to generally catch up with Selamatkan Yaki and their projects and meet with various partners.
We attended the last day of school visits by the Selamatkan Yaki education team as they completed their Yaki Pride campaign in southern Minahasa – they have involved 34 schools in all. We also went to Tasikoki Wildlife Rescue Centre, which is home to around 60 Macaca nigra rescued from the pet trade, and to Tangkoko Nature Reserve to see wild macaques and other species.
We want to link the role of the European zoo population into the wider aims for conserving the species in the wild. As the European Endangered species Programme Coordinator for Macaca nigra, Holly is in a great position to do that.
The important thing is the link we as a conservation charity make between the management of zoo populations and conservation efforts in the wild. People can see this species in our zoos and learn about the way we are leading conservation efforts in their native range. It's joined-up conservation.
The trip went smoothly. Indonesia is a relatively modern part of the world and the team out there really took care of us, but it takes a long time to get there - about 24 hours door-to-door. We had a few tropical downpours with lightning and the forest was full of mosquitos and leeches! The highlight for Holly was seeing macaques in the wild for the first time.
Our project in Sulawesi is a great example of holistic conservation – we have a strong team on the ground working with local people in many different ways to reduce the threats to this species. Harry Hilser, the Field Programme Manager, and his team work really hard and do a fantastic job. This team is supported technically and financially by zoos back in Europe which keep macaques, including Paignton Zoo, Newquay Zoo and many others.

La convezione è un particolare meccanismo di trasmissione del calore che avviene attraverso movimento macroscopico.
In particolare nella convezione naturale il moto è indotto da differenze di densità, legate a loro volta a differenze di temperatura; tutto ciò deriva dal cosiddetto "effetto Buoyancy".
Ad esempio quando una superficie (ad esempio una lastra di acciaio) è ad una temperatura superiore rispetto all'ambiente esterno essa riscalda l'aria immediatamente circostante che per effetto di un aumento di temperatura cambia la sua densità, divenendo quindi più leggera. Ciò crea dei moti convettivi per i quali l'aria più fredda "scende" verso il basso mentre quella più calda "sale" verso l'alto, in modo che il processo si possa ripetere nuovamente. Questi moti fanno sì che il calore generato dalla superficie in questione venga quindi disperso nell'ambiente fino a raggiungere un equilibrio termico.

Irregular periods are always a cause of discomfort and concern. Hormonal imbalance is the main reason behind irregular or skipped periods. However, this is quite natural for the first 3 to 5 years of the onset of periods. Sometimes irregular periods are also an indication of menopause in middle aged women.
Yet some other causes of irregular periods are obesity, anorexia, stress, ovary syndrome and asherman syndrome. One serious cause of irregular periods is improper functioning of the pelvic tissues and organs. However, sometimes contraceptive pills are also a common cause. Skipped periods are also very common in lactating mothers. There are various options of treating this problem depending upon its causes. Though, home remedies are the safest means of treating irregular periods.
Lemon forms an effective home remedy for irregular periods. Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is essentially used by the body in regulating the blood count. Sometimes the deficiency of blood can be a reason for irregular periods. Vitamin C is not a source to iron, but it increases the iron absorption manifolds. It is for this reason that lemon eases the problem of irregular periods caused due to iron deficiency.
Cinnamon is a very common ingredient that is used as a flavoring agent. However, it offers various health benefits as well. One of the health benefits it offers is regulating the menstrual flow. It is a very powerful home remedy for irregular periods. It is generally used to treat this problem in teenagers, lactating mothers and women nearing menopause. This is because; cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone.
This ingredient is a natural hormonal balancer in the human body. It regulates the insulin level in the body, which eventually manages the menstrual cycle in women. This ingredient is found in cinnamon in abundance. Therefore, it effectively manages the level of progesterone by managing the insulin level in the body. For this reason, cinnamon is a commonly used effective home remedy for irregular periods.
Ginger contains gingerols, which are used for treating irregular periods. Gingerols are anti-inflammatory agents. Therefore, they efficiently cure the inflammation caused in the pelvic tissues and organs. This is one of the major reasons behind irregular periods.
Gingerols ease the surrounding tissues, which cures the problem of irregular periods to perfection. Reduced inflammation also reduces the heavy flow and pain caused due to heavy menstruation. It finally restores the regular flow of periods.
Honey is yet another home remedy for irregular periods. It is a natural source to body soluble enzymes like invertase, vitamine etc., potassium salts, organic acids and digestible sugars. All these ingredients trigger the metabolic rate, which helps in balancing the hormonal secretion in women. Balanced hormonal level automatically corrects irregular periods. Nevertheless, honey forms an effective and easy home remedy for irregular periods.
Papaya is a fibrous fruit. This is its USP against irregular periods. The presence of fibers helps papaya in reducing constipation. Constipation upsets the stomach, which directly affects the hormonal secretion in the body. Upset hormonal balance results in irregular periods.
Therefore, papaya restores the normal digestive routine. Improved digestion means reduced constipation. Consequently, the hormonal secretion is normalized. For this reason, papaya is a powerful home remedy that leads to a regular menstrual flow.
Exercising keeps a check on the physical and mental well being of a person. It is also a corrective measure for women suffering from the problem of irregular periods. Exercises trigger metabolism, increase digestion, reduces constipation and control hormonal secretion.
Normal hormonal secretion is the sole reason behind controlled periods. If you too suffer from the problem of heavy or skipped periods, you must start exercising. Exercises eventually bring all the body functions back to normal. When the body functions normally, the hormones are secreted in required amount only. Therefore, exercising is an easy and effective home remedy for irregular periods.
Carrot is a rich source of iron. Iron is required in blood formation, since it helps in carrying oxygen and forming RBC's. Therefore, carrot juice forms an effective solution to supplement the body with rich sources of iron. Thus, carrot juice is used for treating the problem of irregular periods, especially skipped periods.
All the home remedies mentioned above are very natural and effective remedies to normalize the menstruation cycle and menstrual flow, both. However, you must consult a gynecologist in order to avoid any future problem that may complicate your chances of becoming a mother. Irregular periods may also lead to serious stomach cramps. Thus, you must seek a doctor to confirm the reason behind irregular periods.
Some other powerful home remedies for irregular periods are beetroot salad, sesame seeds, peppermint, balanced diet, fennel and Aloe Vera.

Bettering partnerships between schools and universities
By Lesley Howell2019-11-25T11:03:00+00:00
HE and secondary staff need to work together to improve opportunities that encourage students to continue to study science
Despite being a popular A-level subject, there has been a steady decline in the number of students opting to study chemistry at university, with applications down by 21% over the last three years. So, should we be doing more to improve partnerships and opportunities between schools and universities to promote the study of chemistry in higher education (HE)?
State schools find it harder to access partnerships with higher education institutions (HEIs) and schools that serve deprived communities are more than two-and-a-half times more likely to encounter barriers in getting university access help for their pupils relative to the private sector. This news will certainly concern HE widening participation and outreach departments. However, there are opportunities for schools to access HE through university open days, summer schools, taster days, masterclasses, CPD opportunities for teachers and technicians, and public lectures. However, are HEI's providing the right opportunities to maximise the impact they have on prospective students and teachers?
Source: © Fergus Burnett
Participants in the Sutton Trust Summer School for Year 12 students from state school backgrounds. They are shown taking part in activities in the Reach Out Lab in Imperial College London as part of a four day residential which aims to increase the number of state school students applying to do STEM subjects at university.
From an HEI perspective, these events are an opportunity to form and maintain relationships with students, teachers, departments and schools. The aim is to inspire students to continue their studies, to consider a degree/apprenticeship and potentially to choose to study chemistry at the HEI. From a school perspective, university taster days and masterclasses provide students with first-hand experience of HE. These close relationships offer opportunities to visit the campus, meet with current students and gain an insight into life at university. If events are designed with schools in mind, they can be linked to the curriculum and help demystify HE. In addition to informing and inspiring students, these sessions can also provide information on the admissions process and career opportunities and pathways so teachers are more informed when advising their students on selecting both a subject and a HEI.
Whether state schools find it more difficult to access HEI resources than independent schools is up for debate. For example, some HEI's only run events for students from the state sector, which makes it harder for private schools to access partnerships with that HEI. In London, both Kings College and Imperial College run chemistry summer schools only for applicants from the state sector and actively promote students from a widening participation background. Partnerships are dependent upon the actual classroom teacher and the vision of the head of department. Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has some excellent partnerships with schools in the local area from both the state and private sector and students from these schools regularly attend events run by the chemistry department. These schools feel they have good access to HE due to the success of their relationship. Trevor Grant, head of chemistry at Graveney School, says 'Overall access to HEIs is good but it can take a bit of time to find out who we need to talk to… but then good relationships are formed, which means we can organize some events.'
It does help if we have a personal connection to the HEI
From a HEI perspective, there are a number of reasons why state schools may find it more difficult to access partnerships with universities. Susan Matthews, senior lecturer at the University of East Anglia, believes administrative problems are to blame. When HEIs send out information it can be difficult to ensure that information reaches the right person in a state school. Likewise, if a school wants to arrange a visit it can be just as difficult to contact the right person. 'It does help if we have a personal connection to the HEI,' says Christabel Haines, head of chemistry at Greenford School. Furthermore, teachers in state schools are less likely to have the time or resources to seek out contacts and foster the relationships needed to ensure access to HE. So you could argue that HEIs should reach out to schools, but, unless a department has a dedicated member of staff, time constraints make this approach unfeasible.
Timing of events can also create barriers. HEIs would prefer to run events outside of their semester times, which is not always ideal for schools. Teachers are under pressure to ensure the curriculum is taught before the all-important exam period and they may feel they cannot justify a visit to a HEI or there is no time left in the term. This barrier is difficult to overcome because it requires both schools and universities to work together to plan events, ensure that the content and delivery enriches the national curriculum, and that students, teachers and academics alike benefit from participating.
Another obstacle facing state schools is that HEIs often offer selective opportunities through enrichment/gifted-and-talented schemes, or schools are asked to select students based on enthusiasm and talent for a chosen subject. Such schemes may mean that a disinterested young adult misses out on the opportunity to be inspired to aim higher because they don't meet academic criteria. Similarly, fee-paying events disfavour students from poor backgrounds. HEI's often have funding to cover costs for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, but in these instances students may put off from applying in the first place. Susan suggests that HEI's need to look at how they engage and work with schools to ensure fair and open access to all.
So, is it simply a matter of time and resources? If so, then the funding from the Department of Education announced this summer will help because it can be used to provide cover for teachers or buy out a teacher for a few hours a week to work on building key partnerships in HE. Tippu Sherriff, senior lecturer at QMUL, believes schemes such as Spectroscopy in a Suitcase and the Schools Analyst competition, both run by the Royal Society of Chemistry, help to forge relationships and make that initial contact between school and university. Once established, these relationships can be very fruitful, but they need to be maintained and staff turnover at schools can risk that relationship's success. Finally, HEIs need to look at what they are offering schools in terms of a partnership and whether it works for both sides. Improvements don't need to be dramatic but rather customised to the needs and goals of each department and school. Funding could be used for schools and HEIs to work together to develop bespoke opportunities. The most important aspect is to build and maintain these relationships for the betterment of our students and for the future of chemistry.

I like her and all and I think she's a fine actress, but let's look at the resume: three best actress nominations (one for supporting, but still), one win, the title of the world's highest paid actress ($52 million in 2015), and a reputation as a goofy, lovable, down to earth gal that would be anyone's best friend. Are we sure she's THAT good? Her performance in Hunger Games is just fine, but she plays a pretty passive lead character that sits around and mopes until she starts yelling. Even her performance in one of her Oscar winning scenes here. Isn't that Bradley Cooper's scene? We know she's capable of flipping out, but if you replaced her with an average actress, isn't that scene 90% as good? Also, are we sure she always manages to trip/rip her dress/forget her speech? At the risk of sounding overly cynical, is it possible that her super chill persona is just a creation of some super smart publicist? I think she's a good actress and I actually think she's improving, but I'm not exactly sold on her being the number one actress in the world right now.
It's messy, imperfect, and it was never going to live up to its own lofty expectations. But what if you didn't know it ever existed and I came up to you and described it? Close your eyes and imagine my voice. "Hello. There's this new show that you can binge watch on HBO about a few crooked detectives and a trying-to-go-straight gangster. They're up against all of their own departments (who all went them to fail) in a conspiracy that goes to the top. The show builds a little slow, but the last four episodes are filled with action and drama and it leads to a heartbreaking conclusion. Also, the show features totally committed A-List talent." So maybe you won't run to the TV immediately, but you'd put it on your list, right? No? Aw, well, I kinda liked it.
I have a bone to pick about your view of the godness that is Jennifer Lawrence. Everyone knows she's good, hell she's great, you say it yourself. And look at that resume! Any actress in Hollywood not named Merryl Streep would kill for that kind of track record, and at 25! I think you're overrating her overrated-ness. We all know she's good, it's just a fact of the universe, and yeah there's the crowd that worships the ground she walks on, and they're a particularly loud and patronizing bunch, but let's not persecute the girl for having such great talent and a great personality that attracts such loyal fans. I'm content knowing she's top tier and not having to scream it from the rooftops. Saying she's overrated is just missing the forest in the trees of a great acting career that we'll continue to enjoy throughout our lifetime.
Isn't that Bradley Cooper's scene?
I'm not sure that it is his scene. You see 3 different sides of Jennifer Lawrence's character in that scene. I would say the movie is Bradley Cooper's movie, but J-Law steals that scene completely. I've said in the past playing crazy is a little overrated, but she plays bi-polar which is a lot more interesting to me. In that scene she played it calm and cool and then completely batshit crazy. Also no one praises her for her blockbuster films like The Hunger Games, just like no one praises Bradley Cooper for The Hangover or The A-Team. I think she is rated exactly where she should be. I'm interested in seeing Joy and see how she is in that.
True Detective 2 is underrated. Good job.

Whether you're just browsing new scheduling software or just randomly heard of Schedulicity, here are all the reasons why you should strongly consider signing up!
You're a salon owner, so Busy might just be your middle name. You just don't have the time to compare 50 scheduling software tools, so we'll make it easy for you.
Let's review why you should use Schedulicity as a salon owner, and we're sure we'll convince you!
Managing a salon carries many moving parts. You have 5 employees, 6 different schedules including you…as well as all the clients that come with it. And don't forget your personal schedule! There's just no time to rummage through multiple calendars.
Schedulicity allows you to see all your appointments and personal time in one place. You can even access appointment details, store notes, and set up other employees' appointments. Sync your Google Calendar along with it, too! We just want to make it easy for salon owners – and remove the stress of repetitive, tedious tasks.
We always see businesses posting their available times online, but they tell the client to call to book an appointment. What era are we in?
Clients now expect businesses to all be online with a full booking experience too. Why do we need to continue calling, which also interrupts your quality appointment times? Typically, the client's first choice will not be available, turning into phone tag for days. Why not put your schedule online, so they do know when you're free – and ready to book?
Schedulicity provides the features for a client to browse your open schedule and book an appointment for a service of their choice – instantly. You can block out how long a service would take, so it properly adjusts in your calendar automatically.
Now, do you agree that online appointment bookings can save you time?
There are many other scheduling software tools to choose from, but what is our main differentiator? We have a world-class support team that walks you through everything. It doesn't help when you're spending 3 hours to manually enter your new client list when we can just do it for you. Migrating is one of the top issues our new businesses face, but it's just one of the things our awesome support team solves!
We build a bond with all our businesses, so you can feel comfortable to come to us anytime you need. Remember those Discover customer service commercials? That's just a fraction of what we are.
Ping us in the purple button on the website (on the bottom right) and we'll get back to you almost immediately. We help streamline your salon business – not an additional headache for you!
We're not just a scheduling software. We provide all the marketing tools needed to continue growing your business.
Online business listings in the Schedulicity Marketplace bring you visibility for more potential clients. We drive thousands of clients everyday to our site, and in turn send you more traffic. Not only that, we offer Automated Marketing and Client Text Reminders to help you engage with your current contacts.
Schedulicity's Automated Marketing feature allows you to set up automated email templates for special occasions like wishing a Happy Birthday, sending a Thank You, and more. As salon owners, nurturing personal relationships is essential. Though, you just don't have the time to wish 20 people a day a Happy Birthday, even if you wanted to. We make it easy for you to maintain a close relationship with your clients with Automated Marketing – and you can even include a special discount for their next appointment to get them to rebook!
Another common struggle for salon owners? No-shows and cancelled appointments. We lessen the impact by automatically sending Client Text Reminders, so that you can get a heads up on a potential cancelled appointment. It saves you time from sending manual reminders, but also saves you revenue as you can instantly rebook with the early notice.
Again, no-shows and cancelled appointments can abruptly interrupt your schedule. You're most likely not going to be in front of a computer. Don't fret. You can handle the situation by sending out an email of open appointment times and scheduling an appointment with just the Schedulicity Business mobile app.
Our app allows you to access your client list, book appointments, and more for easy scheduling needs.
As you take advantage of all our scheduling features for free, experience all the new incoming business you receive from Schedulicity. Would you have gotten all the easy traffic without online scheduling? First, we streamline your salon business by organizing your scheduling. Then, we take it up a notch by helping you expand with marketing tools that engage your clients throughout the year. Let's not forget the added bonus of a world-class support team! We provide all the resources to help your salon succeed, so don't be shy.
Use Schedulicity for your salon business! Sign up here.

Thank you. The other day I missed a ',' or something similar and the page wouldn't load. It took me 30 minutes later to work out my stupidity. Thanks for looking it over. Sometimes it needs someone to have fresh eyes looking at it.
Any hour past 10 hours or there part of i.e 1 minute and 30 seconds of duty over 10 hours would be 11 hours. I think any reasonable employee would just call it 10 hours of work rather than creating an inquiry of questions and time spent on why they logged an extra second.
Hi folks, I am using: <input id="date" class="form-control" type="text" name="Date" data-data-format="dd/mm/yyyy" value="<?php echo date ("d/m/Y", strtotime ($found_flight_row->getField('Date') )); ?>" /> which allows me to have a date picker and also display dd/mm/yyyy via the 'strtotime'. What I am trying to do is have an edit query so I can edit the date and submit that. On my edit_response page I have the following for the date: //Setup date to be in US format from AU format $date_input = $_REQUEST['Date_Start']; $date_array = explode ("/", $date_input); $date_toFM = $date_array."/".$date_array."/".$date_array; $edit_record_edit = $User->newEditCommand('Flights',$_REQUEST['-recid']); $edit_record_fields = array('Date'=>$date_toFM, etc etc etc etc....... I am getting the date doesn't meet the validation criteria. I am guessing it is being sent as d/m/y maybe to Filemaker. Can someone shed any light on this?
As crazy as that sounds no, it is actually for a duty roster tracking purpose. If the staff member goes over 10 hours of work (plus any part of an hour) they need to have x amount of time off.
I hate to be a pain but where am I pasting that code? I assumed in the header of the search results page but I just get a blank white screen.
I have a user layout in filemaker which has a filtered portal on it displaying a total from another table. How do I get this filtered field to the website? I have tried several things however it keeps showing me the total for that field rather than the filtered total. ie. it is showing me the total amount of money received rather than how much that user has paid. Trying to use it for a dashboard.


Ten years is a long time for any restaurant to thrive and survive, especially in Asheville's highly competitive dining scene.
But Luella's Bar-B-Que has reached that decade mark and will celebrate Tuesday, March 21, with a special anniversary beer plus food-and-brew pairings at both the Merrimon Avenue and Biltmore Park locations.
Luella's has teamed with Asheville's Hi-Wire Brewing Co. to create Pig on a Wire Anniversary Ale, an amber honey-wheat ale that goes well with barbecue.
The event will also feature Hi-Wire's limited-edition blueberry sour, a gose and Bed of Nails Brown Ale. Some of the brews will go into small-bite food offerings like shrimp on a wire and beer belly wrapped pork shank, says Craig Peters, general manager of the Merrimon Avenue Luella's. As part of the celebration, customers who buy the beer can take home the glass while supplies last.
Along with the specialty food items, Luella's will offer its regular menu at the pairing, including its popular chicken wings and smoked beef brisket. "This will not be like a big beer dinner," Peters says. "Each of the beers will be paired with a bite." No reservations are needed.
Luella's, which specializes in Eastern North Carolina vinegar-based barbecue sauce, was opened in 2007 by Jeff Miller and had its first location on Hendersonville Road in South Asheville. In 2009, it moved to North Asheville and took over the former Boston Pizza site, which had once been an A&W drive-in, Peters says. That was followed by a Luella's at Biltmore Park.
Luella's 10th-anniversary celebration happens 5-9 p.m. Tuesday, March 21, at 501 Merrimon Ave. and 33 Town Square Blvd., Biltmore Park. For details, follow Luella's on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or visit the Luella's website.

Veolia unveils plans to build electric vehicle battery recycling plant
Veolia has today (10 January) announced its first electric vehicle battery recycling facility in the UK, which it says will have the capacity to process 20 per cent of the UK's end-of-life electric vehicle batteries by 2024.
Many of the materials required for battery manufacturing rely on traditional water and energy-intensive processes, with an estimated 500,000 gallons of water required to extract one tonne of lithium using this type of mining. Veolia's facility will instead extract the required raw materials from end-of-life batteries, which the company states could reduce water consumption, as well as cutting greenhouse gas emissions from battery production by up to 50 per cent.
Veolia states that the new facility, situated in Minworth, West Midlands, is a 'first step' for the company in its development of recycling technology and treatment capacity within the UK, with an anticipated 350,000 tonnes of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries predicted to be in the country by 2043.
The plant will initially discharge and dismantle batteries before the mechanical and chemical separation recycling processes will be completed. Veolia has additionally stated that it will utilise its network to establish a 'full circular economy solution' in the next five years to produce battery precursors in Europe.
Gavin Graveson, Veolia Senior Executive Vice-President, Northern Europe Zone said: "This is an important first step on the UK's journey to create an ethical and sustainable supply chain for batteries that will be increasingly necessary as we transition to a greener economy.
"We will not reach carbon neutrality without increasing our investment and development of new technologies and recycling opportunities. As the demand for electric vehicles increases, we will need this facility - and more like it in the UK - to ensure we don't hit a resource crisis in the next decade.
"Alongside other projects across the globe, bringing Veolia's expertise to the UK recognises the size of the national market and appetite to recycle locally and responsibly. Urban mining is essential if we are to protect raw materials and will, in turn, create a new, high-skilled industry."
Research by the Green Alliance has previously pointed to the potential of electric vehicle battery recycling, estimating that, if the 1,400 tonnes of lithium and 800 tonnes of cobalt contained within the UK's fleet of electric vehicles (as of 2019) were all recovered and recycled, there would be enough acquired raw material to produce 222,000 car batteries, equating to ten per cent of projected new sales in 2035.
In its report, entitled 'Critical point: securing the raw materials needed for the UK's green transition', the group urged the UK Government to adopt a comprehensive circular economy policy for electric vehicle batteries in order to encourage investment in reprocessing.

Hello everyone! Happy FRIDAY! YAY!!! I thought is was Monday all day yesterday...having a day off in the middle of the week really messes with your mind...hahaha! I had to go down the mountain EARLY this morning to get my husbands truck to the shop! We spent the morning there, hoping it would get fixed, but it was not to be...back down the mountain again on Monday or Tuesday! That's okay...we did some grocery shopping and had a breakfast date...yes, it was that early! We even had to wait half an hour to get into Costco! I'm home now and it's time to blog! I hope you are INSPIRED!!!
I'm really gonna try hard over the next year to use ALL of my stamp sets and to show multiple cards made with the same set! Today's card is created with the Floral Frames Bundle and the Gallery Grunge stamp set! I LOVE them both!
My card base is Whisper White with another layer of Whisper White cut to 4" X 5 1/4". Before attaching it with dimensionals, I stamped the background with Crumb Cake ink using the Gallery Grunge stamp set. I cut the Lemon Lime Twist frame with the Floral Frames Framelits, as well as the Old Olive foliage and Flirty Flamingo flowers. I punched a 2" circle with my punch and stamped the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I attached the entire frame with dimensionals and I added some Metallic Pearls to the centers of my flowers! I LOVE this look together! It has a bit of grunge (in the background) but is still clean and simple! What do you think?
I hope you're INSPIRED to get your inks and stamps out and do some creating! If you want these, just click on Shop Now at the top of my blog!
THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by today! Have a FABULOUS weekend! Stay SAFE and COOL!


We're still in the early planning stages of our trip, but wanted to get it out there that we are planning a Spring Break trip for March 13-20.
We'll be working with Lutheran Social Services which helps to resettle refugees coming to America. We'll be working in their computer labs, working with kids in after-school programs, and meeting those who have emigrated and hearing their stories.
Sign-up will be the beginning of next semester, but start thinking about it now. The cost will be around $200 for the whole week, which will include transportation, lodging and food.


The U.S. auto safety watchdog, long criticized as toothless and slow, is showing both bark and bite under its new boss – a testimony to his credentials as a safety expert and a hardening of the administration's policy after a wave of deadly defects.
Having taken the helm of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in January, Mark Rosekind has wasted no time in forcing reluctant companies into recalling millions of defective vehicles. In doing so, he has shown greater willingness than some of his predecessors to use the government's full legal powers over the industry, some for the first time.
In the past week alone, the agency announced the biggest recall in history, involving nearly 34 million vehicles with potentially deadly Takata Corp air bags. It also scheduled a rare public hearing to review Fiat Chrysler recalls involving 10 million vehicles and warned of potential multiple penalties that could total $700 million.
Rosekind, 60, took over the regulator after a bruising year of criticism from the public and Congress over failures to respond quickly to major safety crises. And he came with clear marching orders from Washington: take dangerous vehicles off U.S. roads.
"We brought him in to bring it," Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told Reuters in an interview.
Current and former officials say recalls did not always serve as a top priority for earlier administrators.
For instance, David Kelly, who filled the job on an acting basis at the end of the George W. Bush administration, focused on fuel economy.
During that administration, the agency's preferred approach was to address safety issues through voluntary service campaigns, though they were still outnumbered by recalls. Critics say a similar approach continued into President Barack Obama's administration.
"We finally have a NHTSA administrator who wants to be the cop on the beat," said Joan Claybrook, who led the agency in the 1970s.
Rosekind declined to be interviewed for the story.
David Strickland, the last permanent NHTSA administrator who served between 2010 and 2013, told Reuters that Rosekind was looking for new levers to bring change, just as past agency chiefs did.
"I used tools that were uncommon when I was administrator," said Strickland, who pointed to $49 million in civil penalties he levied against Toyota Motor Corp. Up to then, he said, the regulator's biggest ever fine had totaled only $1 million.
During his tenure, the agency drew fire for being slow to act on unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles, and over an agreement with Fiat Chrysler to limit the recall of Jeep vehicles equipped with fuel tanks that could rupture and catch fire in crashes.
Now an attorney who represents an automaker group that includes Toyota, Strickland said the compromise reached on Jeep vehicles in 2013 prevented a drawn-out legal battle that would have kept unsafe cars on the roads for years.
The same recalls will now be scrutinized at Rosekind's hearing in July.
Several other former NHTSA chiefs were unavailable for comment.
The appointment of Rosekind, a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board, raised eyebrows because of his lack of auto industry background but was welcomed by safety advocates, who viewed his public safety expertise credentials as eclipsing those of many of his predecessors.
Distinguished by a towering frame and gray mane, Rosekind is a Stanford- and Yale-educated expert who worked as a scientific consultant before spending four years at the NTSB, where he took part in seven major accident investigations.
"He thrived under pressure and was a commanding, decisive presence at accident scenes," said Debbie Hersman, who chaired the NTSB at the time.
Former NHTSA officials say a lack of safety expertise has made it hard for some administrators to press for recalls internally.
A congressional report released last year said the agency for years either overlooked or failed to grasp evidence identifying a deadly ignition-switch defect in General Motors Co. vehicles, which has led to 104 deaths and 2.6 million recalls.
In its defense, the agency has pointed to its limited resources and enforcement powers. Its Office of Defects Investigation, responsible for monitoring 250 million vehicles on U.S. roads, has a staff of 51 and annual budgets of $10 million – about 4 cents per vehicle. By contrast, GM alone generated net income of $2.8 billion in 2014.
Yet acting within the same constraints, Rosekind has utilized some legal tools that have been available, but rarely used before.
In the Takata recall, the regulator for the first time is exercising its authority to expedite recalls under the 2000 Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act. The Fiat Chrysler hearing will be the first of its kind for the watchdog since 2012 and the biggest ever.
"He's using the resources he has and working to change the culture at the agency from one that gets along with the auto industry to one that regulates the auto industry," said Clarence Ditlow, a leading auto safety advocate who heads Washington-based Center for Auto Safety. The agency now has a boss who is not tied to the auto industry, but knows Washington and regulation, Ditlow said.
Automakers and Wall Street investors expect the new tough regulator to drive up industry costs by forcing companies to boost reserves for future recalls after a record 64 million vehicles were recalled last year.
Yet bringing lasting change remains a daunting challenge for Rosekind, whose term will end along with Obama's in early 2017.
Takata's airbag recall alone could take years to complete as automakers scramble to line up replacement parts.

The Flavour Of The Mintoff Era
by John Manduca
The Flavour Of The Mintoff Era quantity
ISBN: N/A. Category: Rare.
– secret negotiations made public.
This is a lucid and concise account of the mementous negotiations which took place between Malta and Britain in 1971 to 1987, details of which have remained secret for over thirty years.
For the first time, what went on behind the scenes, the brinkmanship and the tantrums, the manoeuvres and the intrigue indulged in by several countries becomes public knowledge following the passage of time and the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act in the United Kingdom.
These protracted, and sometimes acrimonious negotiations resulted in a new Defence and Financial arrangement (valid for seven years) and the departure of the British forces from Malta, bringing to a close an association in times of war and of peace which had lasted for nearly two hundred years.
The Flavour of the Mintoff Era is based, in the main, on confidential 'Annual Reviews' and dispatches sent to the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in London by eight High Commissioners serving in Malta. These Reports are detailed and outspoken and many new facts come to light for the first time. They make a valuable contribution to Maltese history and politics, and give us an insight into Dominic Mintoff's views on countries such as Italy, Libya, Israel, North Korea, China and the Soviet Union, and record the efforts by the United States and other Western countries to deny facilities to the Russians, they also deal with the Maltese Prime Minister's meetings with Lord Carrington, Mr Edward Heath an d Mr Joseph Luns (of NATO), and the attempts at mediation by Archbishop Miachael Gonzi.
Reports by the British High Commissioners are supplemented by the author's contribution on matters such as the dispute over Church schools, the take-over of Broadcasting, the bitter conflict with the Doctors and the expulsion of the 'Blue Sisters', the collapse if the National Bank and the use of violence and abuse of human rights.
The 'Forward' to the publication us by Dr Albert Ganado, a noted historian, and the book also includes a final chapter giving the author's recollection of his stay in London when High Commissioner for Malta.

Joanna experiences the death and resurrection of Jesus
Author katiePosted on July 28, 2020 April 16, 2022 1 Comment
Joanna's mind wandered – back to the memories of colorful events that for her had only been experienced in monochrome – outdoor theatre spectacles on the edge of the dead sea, glamorous parties where fine wine and exquisite meals had been prepared and served impeccably by Herod's seemingly endless staff and servants and time spent reviewing and purchasing the latest fashions and in preparing her appearance for such occasions. All these things she, in her position as wife of the steward of the King, had been privileged to experience.
Santa Juana de Cuza-National Shrine & Parish of Saint Anne-Hagonoy
Despite all the splendor surrounding her she had spent years in silent darkness. Ever since she had given birth to a stillborn son she had felt numb while the world around her continued to hum along. She had masked herself from the world by investing even more time than she had before her loss in ensuring her appearance was immaculate. She spoke to no one, not even her husband, Chuza, of her heartache.
Despite his high workload Joanna's distance had not gone unnoticed by her husband. Although their match had been arranged, he genuinely loved his wife and her unhappiness troubled him. Yet he did not know what he could do for her. He had tried to reach out to get her to talk about how she felt about her loss. But this only seemed to discourage her from communicating even more. The more he tried to reach out the more excuses she seemed to have to spend time away from him.
But Joanna had found she could not cut her heart off completely from the world. She could not ignore the buzz that had infected the workers in Herod's court. And it was this buzz that led her to first attend of of Jesus's gatherings.
At first she watched on from a distance and attended purely out of curiosity to see for herself the itinerant teacher who had become so talked about in Herod's household. But as she attended more and more gatherings it became more than that. As she listened to his stories her heart felt warmed. She also watched on at several gatherings as many sick people were brought before Jesus and were healed.
Then, one day, when she had placed herself closer than usual to where Jesus taught he approached her after he had dismissed the crowd.
"God loves you just as much as he loves others."
"He wants you too to be healed of your heartache and self-loathing."
"What happened to your son was not in any way your fault. It did not happen because God loves you any less than he loves others."
Joanna felt unsure that Jesus was in fact speaking to her or someone near her. Then, Jesus walked closer towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders and looked straight into her eyes.
A lump deep inside herself seemed to travel from her chest to her throat. It broke out in uncontrollable sobs. Her body shook with the intensity of her tears and she felt a great release of a pain deep within her that she had been too fearful to face and define herself.
Since that moment things had been different.
Her world had changed. The darkness that had followed her around her for so long had lifted and colour had reentered it once again. It was not in the glamourous events that she found it but rather in what she previously had not noticed. She had become more aware of natures' beauty, the love within others and joy in simplicity in things like cool drinks on a hot summer's day and simple kind acts of someone she did not know very well. These all had become very colourful to her.
But had her transformation been all built upon a false hope? Jesus was dead! Dead! Was this new way she had found of living also to die?
She looked around the room. The men were mostly sitting alone in silence, withdrawn and despondent. The women were sitting or standing in small groups whispering and weeping. Martha was busying herself with practical matters – laying out food on tables in the centre of the room so that all those present could eat when their bodies required. There was an unspoken agreement that the Sabbath's meals today would not be shared as usual and no prayers would be recited.
Joanna felt Mary's anguish from the deep within her. She felt such a tenderness for her and realised there was something she could do that would be able to assist, albeit in a small way – she could organise all the materials to ensure Jesus' body could be properly treated. There had not been enough time after his crucifixion and burial to ensure this important ritual could be properly carried out.
Joanna looked over to Mary, Jesus's mother. She was sitting down. Her eyes were red, her shoulders drooped. John was attending to her and had brought her some food from the table Martha had prepared in the middle of the room.
This task gave Joanna a sense of purpose and having something to focus on gave her some relief from the awful thoughts and feelings that had plagued her mind and body all of the previous night.
Joanna approached Martha and told her of her plan and then left the place where Jesus' followers had been staying to return to Herod's palace in Jerusalem. It was quiet out in the streets although Joanna noticed a few of Jesus' disciples had taken themselves outside to clear their heads.
Upon arrival to the palace Joanna summoned her maid. She asked for her to prepare sandalwood and myrh and satchels for carrying the precious elements and upon receiving these from her maid she returned to the disciples.
In the evening on the sabbath, Joanna placed what she had gathered from the palace near a window in a smaller room adjacent to the communal room. This room faced east and on the night of the sabbath Joanna, Martha and the other women Martha had gathered for the visit to the tomb the next day, slept next to one another in this room. They wanted to be sure they would not wake up any of the men upon leaving and also that the first light would wake them.
Joanna was first to rise. She gently touched the other women one by one and they woke in turn and in silence placed on their headscarves, outer garments and shoes. Though dawn had not yet broken, the cobble stone of the city street was becoming a shade of blue rather than black as they started out to attend to their task.
Their footsteps echoed off the walls of buildings they passed by in the street until they exited the city through a stone framed walkway. The sound of their steps softened into crunching of sand and small stones beneath their sandals as they exited city walls. Blue and grey were the predominant colours of the morning light wrapping around shadows of objects whose identities as small shrubs and rocks was becoming more apparent as the light of day steadily increased.
The women walked in silence. The mood did not muster any blithey chatter that had been the norm for this group of women as they had journeyed alongside one another accompanying Jesus.
The tombs were located at the bottom of the hill of calvary. As a small stream flowed subtly at the base of the slope the shrubbery was more abundant. As the women entered this area the light of the new day had heightened so more defined colours could be seen – various shades of green of the leaves of the abundant shrubbery and browns, blacks and whites of the bark of some older more mature trees. Pink and red were also there in the buds wildflowers. The stream created a slight moistness that made their scent slightly perceptible despite the fact that they were mostly just budding and only a couple barely opened.
These changes in the landscape went unnoticed by the women. However, the silence among them was broken as their thoughts turned to more practical matters as they neared the tomb.
'Who will roll away the stone entrance to the tomb for us?', Martha voiced her concern. 'I am not convinced the guards will allow us to enter.
Martha had barely finished her sentence when a sound like constant thunder began to engulf them. The earth started shaking and several of the women, including Joanna, lost their balance and fell to the ground. White brilliance engulfed them so they could not see where they were or where they were going and an invisible wave of energy rushed from the tomb where Jesus had been laid to rest and to where they were headed. The energy was powerful but good – a wave of love. When the energy force from this wave struck the women some of them lost consciousness. Then two figures started to emerge through the brightness. They were human-like but taller than humans.
"Why do you look for the living among the living among the dead?"
"Jesus is not in the tomb. He is risen!"
Then the two larger than human figures disappeared. Joanna became aware that she was lying on her stomach on the ground and her two hands were outstretched in front of her and were holding something. Whiteness still surrounded her but was starting to subside. She looked through the whiteness and could make out that what she was in fact holding onto were two ankles attached to human feet. When she looked closer at these feet she noticed two deep healed wounds in their centres. Joanna's body gave an involuntary shiver.
She was afraid to look up for fear of what it meant. She was fearful that the enormity of it would overwhelm her.
"You don't need to cling to me in desperation Joanna and don't cling to me in my earthly form. There is so much more than it is possible for you to ever imagine to come."
Joanna looked up at Jesus and his face shone with a vibrant light far more luminescent than anything human. It was if all the memories she had of goodness and love were welling up within her and as if they were happening to her all at once in this moment. She felt a deep power surge within her, she felt weightless and as if she could fly.

Great story – very moving


In the context of its 2014 Bosnia Project the Nuhanovic Foundation is hosting a meeting of experts on the present situation of civilian victims of the Bosnian wars, in April this year. The meeting will bring together lawyers and legal activists, representatives of victims' organizations and NGOs who are active in the region to discuss the best way to move ahead for victims wishing to proceed to litigation in order to claim their right to recognition and reparations for the harm they suffered. The Foundation will produce two reports, one summarizing the situation for Bosnian victims up to April 2014, and one documenting the outcome of the meeting, in May. These reports will be available on our website.

Amistad translates as "friendship" from Spanish, which is fitting given that this reservoir is shared by the U.S. and Mexico. Marinas and boat ramps provide access to the lake for watersports, like fishing and waterskiing. The 254-foot tall dam across the Rio Grande was built in 1968 and serves as a customs station in Del Rio, Texas. The National Park Service (NPS) runs a free museum nearby.
Panther Cave pictographs, Seminole Canyon State Park, watersports
Amistad National Recreation Area is also famous for its 4,000-year-old pictographs, which can most easily be accessed on guided tours of Seminole Canyon State Park, 45 miles outside Del Rio, Texas on Highway 90. Admission is charged for the museum and tour, but provides the only way to see the colorful artwork in Fate Bell Shelter. Viewing fossils in the limestone was an added bonus on the tour.
The pictographs in Panther Cave can be seen from afar by hiking a trail in the state park or up-close by boating to the dock and climbing a steep stairway.
If you are unable to hike down into the canyon, the Seminole Canyon State Park museum has a replica of the rock art.

The only U.S. National Park within the expansive Sonoran Desert is divided into two separate districts east and west of Tucson, Arizona. Its namesake cactus can reach 50 feet in height and weigh more than 16,000 pounds when swelled with water during the rainy season. Saguaros do not typically branch their first arms until age seventy-five and they can live over 200 years. They share their home with other cacti that have cuddly names like teddybear cholla, hedgehog, barrel, staghorn cholla, and prickly pear.
Learn more in our guidebook to the 62 National Parks, A Park to Yourself: Finding Adventure in America's National Parks (available on Amazon).
Cactus Forest Drive, Desert Ecology Trail, Scenic Bajada Loop Drive, Desert Discovery Nature Trail
There are National Park Service (NPS) visitor centers in both the Rincon Mountain District and Tucson Mountain District. In each district, opportunities for visitors include scenic drives, handicap-accessible nature trails, and more strenuous hiking options. Much of the wildlife is nocturnal in the hot desert, but watch for unique species like javelinas, ringtails, kangaroo rats, roadrunners, phainopeplas, desert tortoises, Gila monsters, and western diamondback rattlesnakes.
Hikers can find great overlooks of the surrounding mountains along the short Ridge View Trail in the eastern Rincon Mountain District of the park.
Winter is a great time to come to Saguaro National Park due to mild temperatures, but to see the desert in bloom the spring is best. Saguaros typically bloom in early June, though their large white blooms are hard to photograph at the top of the tall cacti where moths, bats, and other pollinators can find them.
https://www.nps.gov/sagu/planyourvisit/hours.htm
In the Rincon Mountain District the Cactus Forest Drive is all paved, but in the Tucson Mountain District the Scenic Bajada Loop Drive is mostly a graded gravel road.
Only backcountry camping in designated sites (with a permit) is allowed in the National Park, but campgrounds are available at Tucson Mountain County Park just outside the western district and throughout Coronado National Forest which borders the eastern district.

Nez Perce National Historical Park
December 8, 2020 Raven About The Parks	Leave a comment
Nez Perce National Historical Park is unique because it comprises 38 sites stretching across four states, not even including an 1877 incident inside Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park. Many of the locations (as well as Big Hole National Battlefield) cover the War of 1877, when a portion of the tribe fled more than 1,000 miles from Oregon towards the Canadian border only to be stopped 40 miles short by the U.S. Army at Bear Paw Battlefield in Montana. Under the leadership of legendary Chief Joseph they crossed the Rocky Mountains at Lolo Pass, made famous by the Lewis and Clark Expedition that the tribe assisted in 1805.
Museum, film, Heart of the Monster, Lolo Pass, Bear Paw Battlefield
The main National Park Service (NPS) visitor center is in Spalding, Idaho on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation where the "heart of the monster" resides. According to legend, after Coyote slew the monster that inhaled all the people, its heart and liver came to rest on the banks of the Clearwater River. This park is also unique because the Nez Perce remain an active tribe with a strong sense of community, as documented in the excellent new film at the visitor center. Highway 12 follows the beautiful Clearwater River through northern Idaho and provides access points for the unpaved Lolo Motorway (a section of the Nez Perce National Historical Trail) and its many scenic overlooks.
Nez Perce National Historical Trail stretches 1,170 miles from Oregon to Montana, ending at the NPS site at Bear Paw Battlefield where a five-day fight finally led to the tribe's surrender in October 1877.
At a roadside pullout on Highway 95 in Idaho, the NPS interprets White Bird Battlefield where 34 U.S. Army soldiers were killed on June 17, 1877 escalating the U.S. government's conflict with the Nez Perce into a war.
https://www.nps.gov/nepe/planyourvisit/hours.htm
Most of the major roads are paved, with the notable exception of the Lolo Motorway which requires a high clearance vehicle (and four-wheel drive on its western end).
There are camping opportunities ranging from dispersed to developed located throughout Clearwater, Nez Perce, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests.

Pushing Past
Donovan Carter of "Ballers" Talks Pushing Past Failure and Pursuing Your Dreams
Locale Magazine Editors
Written By: Nikki Brown
Photographed By: Jared Schlachet and Joe Magnani
We all have childhood dreams. We fantasize about growing up to be pro athletes and firemen, astronauts and spies, musicians and movie stars. Donovan Carter dreamed of playing football for the NFL, and he nearly achieved his goal. A celebrated college career playing for the UCLA Bruins led him to try out for the Oakland Raiders, but he didn't make the final cut.
Carter's childhood aspiration could have ended there, but an open mind led him to consider other possibilities. The former football star is now living his dream, but rather than playing football for the NFL, he acts the part of NFL player, Vernon Littlefield, on the HBO show "Ballers."
Carter stars alongside mega-celebrity Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in what is now the third season of the show. "Ballers" offers a behind the scenes view into the private lives of NFL players and those who support them.
Johnson plays the role of Carter's financial manager. It's common to hear about pro athletes who make millions only to go broke a few years after retirement, and the show sheds a much-needed light on this real-world struggle.
Carter thinks there are some key lessons that people of all walks of life can learn from the show when it comes to money management and just being a good person. Speaking of his character, Carter said, "You got a lot of people in [Vernon's] ear telling him what to do," later adding, "Sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes." Carter hopes younger players can learn a few tips on how to manage their finances and set themselves up for rewarding lives. "I'm learning from Vernon's mistakes right now in my real life," he said.
In the show, Carter's character, Vernon, figures out that he needs to heed the advice of those who care about him and ultimately make decisions that are best for his career. Indeed, in real-life, Carter wouldn't be where he is if he hadn't listened to advice and made his own decisions along the way. When Carter didn't make the Oakland Raiders during the tryout weekend, his dreams were crushed. Not knowing what to do next, Carter spoke to his UCLA defensive line coach, Angus McClure. McClure put Carter in touch with a former UCLA quarterback, actor Mark Harmon. Carter hadn't acted since a role in an elementary school play of To Kill a Mockingbird, but, inspired by Harmon, he decided to take a risk and give acting a try.
Carter's open mind paid off. After successfully landing a few commercial gigs, he had the opportunity to audition for "Ballers." Three months of nail biting and uncertainty passed, and Carter received word that he had landed the role of a lifetime. "[There's been] ups and downs like everybody," said Carter, but "I just appreciate the moment [and] enjoy every day."
After three seasons on "Ballers," Carter has grown as an actor and as a person. On the first season he said he wanted to do everything right, but now he likes to mix it up with different choices. "You have to put yourself out there," he said. "It's up to you to be risky enough to try something." Just like his days playing football with the Bruins, Carter mastered the art of listening to the director, showrunner and fellow cast, but most importantly, he learned to trust his own instincts. Gaining an understanding of how to take good advice and stay true to himself has served Carter well in football, acting and in life.
Carter compared the collaborative atmosphere of "Ballers" to being on a great football team. Describing what it's like to be on set, he said, "There's no ego. There's no animosity. Everybody genuinely loves each other." Carter has previously spoken about the positive influence of working with Johnson. When he first started on the show, he felt a mix of nerves and excitement, and Johnson reassured Carter that everyone believed in him and told him to just keep doing what he was doing.
Carter hopes "Ballers" will go for a fourth season, but beyond the HBO comedy he wants to continue to grow as an actor and expand his range. "I want to try different things," said Carter about his future. Always willing to put himself out there, if the role is a good fit, Carter is all in. "My goal every year is to always be better," he said. He also hopes that his story will inspire others to take risks and believe in themselves. "Go for your dreams," he said, "whatever gives you the butterflies."
