After Crewe
Last night's substantial defeat in Crewe should be a cause for Labour renewal not introspection. The crass anti-toffs campaign will be seen by the media as having played a big part. In reality, the result echoes the local election results earlier this month. Labour is having the sort of mid-term blues that the Tories regularly experienced in the late eighties.
But despite the extraordinary hubris of Team Cameron in preparing for a landslide, as revealed by Fraser Nelson this week, Labour still has a much more relevant programme than the Conservatives. This week's paper on school discipline demonstrated a practicality that is absent from Tory thinking on the subject; and despite the excitability of some pundits, there is little substantive difference between the two parties on school standards and structure. On health, the Tories have become a cipher for the BMA, while Labour is advancing a decidedly patient-focused agenda.
However, the next election is unlikely to be won or lost on those issues. Labour's unprecedented school building and hospital modernisation programme, its higher standards in schools, better paid teachers and doctors, have all been discounted by the media; and despite often positive personal experiences, there is a disconnect in the public mind between the genuine improvements they see in local public services and perceptions of the national systems. So, while more should be done by MPs to claim credit for these improvements, it will not be enough.
What will matter are the economy and a sense that the government has not run out of steam. At present, the polls suggest severe economic gloominess and a mood that it is 'time for a change'. Labour recovery - which is not the impossibility imagined by the media; Major won in 1992 after a far bigger by-election defeat for his party in mid-Staffordshire in 1990 - will depend both on economic recovery (and a sense that the cost of fuel and food is stabilising) and on a recovery of ideas and nerve at the centre. It also demands a much better selling of those ideas and what the Government is about. It is certainly true that there is little public sense of any of this today. But with a general election two years away - and the Tories having a weaker starting point in seats than Labour had after 1992 - there is still a lot to play for.

I don't share your optimism. If the Government are hoping to win votes on education then they are doomed. The broken education system (and the knock on effect it seems to have on anti-social behaviour) is a major cause of disillusionment with the government. As a teacher I'm embarrassed to mention I'm a Labour supporter to my colleagues.

I only partly agree with you - much more needs to be done:
1. There needs to be the vision which is missing - a coherence which absent. Too many spokespersons are not coherant.
2. The candidate wasnot good - the performance on the Paxman interview was not good - assertions of being a "good socialist" do not resonate with the voters we need to secure. Her sneering and dismissive body language was terrible. If these features were apparent to constituency voters then at least some support would not have been retained or won.
3. The Tory tactic was to focus on the national malaise and to consistently have the candidate chaperoned by a national figure and kept away from the media.
Clearly the 10p tax issue has been a disaster and seems to have resulted from an arrogance of office. The Party and its government needs to engage and connect in a way which Blair and his key people did.

The George Segal Gallery Exhibits "Between Here and Then: Photography from the Collections of Montclair State University"
Posted in: George Segal Gallery and University Galleries News
The George Segal Gallery enthusiastically presents Between Here and Then: Photography from the Collections of Montclair State University, on view from September 8th through December 17th, 2016. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 8th, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
This exhibition, guest curated by Mimi Weinberg, who teaches Art History and Theory at Montclair State University and Stern College of Yeshiva University, highlights important photographic works in the University's permanent collections. These collections include more than a dozen color Polaroids, as well as a series of black and white photographs, by Andy Warhol. The exhibit also features photographs by Donald Lokuta that capture George Segal in the process of casting his models for his famous Street Crossing installation, permanently on display at Montclair State University.
Weinberg's vision for the exhibition examines photography through a "phenomenological mode of viewing" and divides the work into four sections: Snapshots, functioning as visual diary entries; Sketches, photos implicated in the process of creating something else; Documents of objects and rituals; and Pictures, in which the images enhance the depicted subjects and are the ends in and of themselves.
A related special event, All That Jazz: Art/Philosophy/Action, will be held on Thursday, November 3rd from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the George Segal Gallery, moderated by guest curator, Mimi Weinberg, and featuring speakers and surprises.
Admission to the event is $25.00 per person, which includes an exhibition catalog and coffee; pay at the door. Please RSVP by Tuesday, November 1st by calling 973-655-6941. The event is free to Montclair State University students with valid ID.
The George Segal Gallery is located on the 4th floor of the Red Hawk Parking Deck, adjacent to the Kasser Theater. Gallery hours are from 11:00am-6:00pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and from 12:30-7:30pm on Thursdays. The Gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Entrance is free. Call 973-655-3382 or visit http://www.montclair.edu/arts/university-art-galleries-george-segal-gallery/ for more information, directions, or to schedule group visits, tours, and workshops.


The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced it is taking Viagogo to court for allegedly breaking consumer protection laws.
The watchdog said that the resale website had failed to make sufficient changes, following previous warnings, to bring it in line with regulations.
The CMA initiated enforcement action against four resale platforms in November 2017 following a probe into the secondary ticketing industry.
GetMeIn, Seatwave and StubHub made the necessary changes, but the CMA said in a statement on Friday that Viagogo had continued to contravene the law by failing to tell customers there is a risk they could be turned away at the door of events, due to restrictions placed on some resold tickets.
The regulator added that customers are also not being given sufficient information about the seat they will secure, while the watchdog also cited misleading information about ticket availability, amongst other issues.
"People who buy tickets on websites like Viagogo must be given all the information they are entitled to," the CMA's chief executive, Andrea Coscelli, said. "It's imperative they know key facts, including what seat they will get and whether there is a risk they might not actually get into the event, before parting with their hard-earned money.
Meanwhile Viagogo has once again been called to appear before UK parliament to answer for a host of controversies.
The inquiry comes almost a year after the site refused to appear in front of MPs at a previous evidence session.
Viagogo, which is already involved in several investigations for alleged offences including breaches of consumer law, is said to be sending vice-president of business development Christopher Miller to the hearing on September 5.
MPs on the department for media, culture and sport (DCMS) select committee will press the Viagogo executive about the long list of alleged wrongdoings involving the Switzerland-based company.
Miller has served as the right-hand man of Viagogo's publicity-shy founder and owner Eric Baker. The pair worked together at StubHub in the US before moving to Europe and starting up their own secondary ticketing platform.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Viagogo is reportedly planning on moving UK-based staff to New York amid ongoing investigations into its conduct in Europe.
Aside from the CMA action, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) referred Viagogo to National Trading Standards after failing to comply with the advertising watchdog's transparency criteria.
FIFA also filed a criminal complaint against Viagogo over its conduct in the run up to the 2018 World Cup. Football's governing body said it had received numerous complaints from individuals, consumer protection bodies and other market players about "opaque and deceptive" Viagogo.

Het Nationaal Jeugdorkest (NJO) is een Nederlands orkest. Het stelt jonge musici die zich voorbereiden op de beroepspraktijk, in de gelegenheid op hoog niveau ervaring op te doen in allerlei vormen van samenspel. Zij kunnen hierbij werken met de beste (inter)nationale dirigenten en solisten.

Achtergrond
De orkesten en ensembles bestaan uit jongeren tussen de 18 en 26 jaar. Door middel van audities worden elk jaar meer dan 300 studenten van conservatoria uit Europa (en daarbuiten) geselecteerd voor de projecten van het NJO. Coaching en masterclasses worden altijd gevolgd worden door de presentatie aan het publiek.

Het verschil met het Jeugdorkest Nederland (JON) is dat de leden in het JON in de leeftijdscategorie 14-20 jaar zitten en in de regel (nog) niet aan het conservatorium studeren (behoudens eventueel vooropleiding). Ook stelt het NJO niet één orkest samen, maar kunnen musici deelnemen aan verschillende orkesten en ensembles.

Het NJO wordt onder andere gefinancierd door bijdragen van het ministerie van OCW, de provincie Gelderland en de gemeente Apeldoorn. Daarnaast zijn er bedrijven die sponsoren.

Activiteiten
's Winters is er een tournee door een symfonieorkest van het NJO, 's zomers nemen circa 250 musici uit binnen- en buitenland deel aan projecten die in het kader van het zomerproject worden georganiseerd: een maand lang werken ze aan een gevarieerd muzikaal repertoire, onder leiding van diverse dirigenten en coaches. Het repertoire reikt van muziek voor groot symfonieorkest tot kamerorkest en van hedendaagse ensemblemuziek tot operaprojecten en cross-overs met bijvoorbeeld dans of jazz.

Sinds 2001 organiseert het NJO in de zomer een eigen festival in Gelderland, de NJO Muziekzomer. Dit is het podium voor de vele ensembles en orkesten die worden voorbereid tijdens het zomerproject.

Optredens

Het symfonieorkest van het NJO speelt vaak in de series met abonnementsconcerten van de professionele symfonieorkesten in Nederlands belangrijkste concertzalen. Ook maakte het NJO vele tournees naar het buitenland, naar vrijwel alle landen van Europa. Noemenswaardige projecten zijn de scenische uitvoering de opera Falstaff van Verdi met dirigent Dennis Russell Davies in 1994 in Duitsland. In 1996 speelde het NJO op het Festival de Radio France & Montpellier, met werken van Mahler, Debussy, Glass, Maderna en Mozart. In 1997 volgde een concertreis onder leiding van dirigent Enrico Pace naar Litouwen, Letland, Estland, Finland, Zweden en Denemarken, waarbij het NJO pianist Igor Roma begeleidde. In 1998 en 1999 waren er tournees naar Frankrijk, Spanje en Portugal. De tournee naar Duitsland in 2000 werd afgesloten met een concert op Lowlands. Ook in 2012 en 2013 speelde een orkest van het NJO op Lowlands; op 18 augustus 2013 speelde het NJO Reich Ensemble Music for 18 Musicians in aanwezigheid van componist Steve Reich, composer in residence van de NJO Muziekzomer dat jaar. Het orkest speelde verder in Praag, op het Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, het Festival van Vlaanderen in Brugge, in het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, tijdens het Edinburgh Festival en het Young Euro Classic festival in Berlijn in 2012, 2015 en 2016.

Het NJO maakte opnamen van onder andere de Vier letzte Lieder van Richard Strauss met de sopraan Roberta Alexander, Three Places in New England van Charles Ives, De vuurvogel en Petroesjka van Igor Stravinski, en werken van Bartók en Rimski-Korsakov. Ook werden vele concerten opgenomen voor radio en televisie.

Sinds 2021 verzorgt het NJO de muzikale ondersteuning bij het TV-programma "ARIA" waarin wordt gezocht naar nieuw operatalent.

Dirigenten
Veel gerenommeerde dirigenten hebben het NJO geleid, onder wie Mark Wigglesworth, Jaap van Zweden, Iván Fischer, George Benjamin, Reinbert de Leeuw, Jos Van Immerseel, Philippe Herreweghe, Thierry Fischer, John Adams, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Enrico Pace, Oliver Knussen, Josep Pons en Paul Goodwin. Solisten die met het NJO hebben gespeeld of gezongen zijn onder anderen Anne Evans, Charlotte Margiono, Truls Mørk, Enrico Pace, Peter Donohoe, Boris Belkin, Igor Roma en Raphael Oleg.

NJO Summer Academy
Sinds 2001 organiseert het NJO de NJO Summer Academy, een internationaal orkest- en ensembleproject. Elk jaar nemen zo'n 250 jongeren deel aan dit project onder leiding van gerenommeerde solisten en dirigenten. Er is onder meer een groot symfonieorkest, een project voor kamerorkest en een project voor hedendaagse muziek. Het NJO Orkest van de 19de eeuw is sinds de oprichting van de NJO Summer Academy in 2001 een vaste waarde. Dit orkest speelt op authentieke instrumenten. Na Jos Van Immerseel is sinds 2009 Richard Egarr verantwoordelijk voor de authentieke uitvoeringspraktijk. Daarnaast is er jaarlijks een componist composer in residence: György Kurtág (2001), Louis Andriessen (2002), Wolfgang Rihm (2003), Thomas Adès (2004), Mauricio Kagel (2005), Sofia Goebajdoelina (2006), George Benjamin (2007), John Adams (2008), Oliver Knussen (2009) en Mark-Anthony Turnage (2010). In 2011 is het de beurt aan de Finse Kaija Saariaho. Tot 2010 was Reinbert de Leeuw artistiek leider van de NJO Summer Academy. Vanaf 2011 nam de Chinees-Amerikaanse dirigente Xian Zhang deze rol van hem over.

Prijzen en onderscheidingen
De uitvoering van Des Canyons aux Étoiles in Edinburgh onder leiding van Reinbert de Leeuw werd door de muziekcritici van The Herald beloond met de Angel. De opname van Boog van de Nederlandse componist Robert Heppener voor Donemus werd genomineerd voor een Edison.

Literatuur
In 1998 verscheen een boek ter gelegenheid van het veertigjarig bestaan van het NJO net de titel Het leukste orkest van Nederland. Dit boek beschrijft de geschiedenis van het orkest en bevat een complete lijst van alle concerten vanaf 1957.

The former combat engineer behind the Farm to Family local-food bus and market gets more national publicity than anyone in Richmond food circles. His secret? Suzi Lilly, his wife, a former film publicist who knows how to network. So far, the bus has made it to the "Rachael Ray Show," People magazine, the Huffington Post, Garden & Gun magazine, MichaelMoore.com, the BBC and a slew of other media outlets. Facebook friends number nearly 6,000, not bad for a two-year-old business that brings sustainable food to the community and grows some of its own.
Typical for Richmond, it's still a bus that flies under most people's radar. "When we were first on the BBC," Suzi Lilly says, "people joined our Facebook page from all over the world — Indonesia, Europe, just all over — and then we do a Groupon here and people haven't even heard of us." They're keeping the media pitches flying to The New York Times, Oprah and Barbara Walters, among others. So it's only a matter of time before Richmond picks up the signal.

You, Me and our Resilience
This project proposes a novel way of articulating and communicating the interlocking risks associated with poverty and climate change, and of exploring the shared experiences of different communities, acknowledging that climate change affects everyone on the planet. It uses Forum Theatre, an established form of participatory drama that takes and applies peoples' own experiences to share stories, encouraging participants to collaboratively seek and enact potential solutions to the proximate and underlying drivers of their oppression – in this case, the multiple risks and uncertainties that plague and indeed define the lives of the poor.
The project works in Kenya and the UK, using the dramatization of common stories to provide a safe space to enable the sharing of lived experiences of climate related hazards and the collaborative identification of solutions. It will engage directly with communities themselves, and with scientists, policy makers and corporate actors to identify leverage points to build resilience of poor people to climate change, extreme weather events and other stressors.
The approach has three principles at i ts core: cross-cultural learning based on narratives and lived experiences of resilience to hazards; an active participatory approach using Forum Theatre as a means of empowering communities to transform their circumstances; and targeted engagement with top scientists, influential policy-makers and insurance industry executives. Forum Theatre is the central means of communicating and engaging with these different communities and audiences. Originally developed in Brazil by Arturo Boal and sometimes known as 'theatre of the oppressed', Forum Theatre is a medium for engaging community groups in solution-focused dialogue about the issues that affect them (Boal, 1992). A typical Forum Theatre piece presents a story similar to the actual experiences of the community and focuses on a particular difficulty they face. The community audience is invited to stop the performance and attempt to change the course of action and work towards resolving the situation. The key partner in this project is S.A.F.E. Kenya, (www.safekenya.org) a Kenyan NGO and UK charity that uses street theatre, films and community programmes to educate, inspire and deliver social change on a range of issues, including HIV/AIDS prevention, female circumcision, gender-based violence, unclean drinking water and environmental sustainability. We work alongside S.A.F.E., including their award-winning Executive Director Nick Reding, to co-design and co-develop the theme and the production and activities stemming from it.


I recently purchased one of those baby carriers (for my now toddler baby) where you can wear them on your back and barely even feel them. It's glorious. My one year old LOVES (read: demands) to be held, so this has been a great purchase. Without it, my arms and back can get quite sore. With it, I can carry him for way longer and expend way less energy.
Another example: before I learned how to swim correctly, I wasted A LOT of energy trying to do free style staying flat on my stomach and using mostly my arm strength for momentum. When I learned the correct form, I was able to go twice as fast while using WAY less energy by letting my hips be my power source – moving them from side to side to gain momentum with each stroke.
Sometimes I think we waste marital energy in all the wrong places. I think there are ways to expend less energy and time, while getting more bonding bang for our buck when we use our energy in the right places.
I recently re-read the 5 Love Languages. I'm sure most of you are at least vaguely familiar with the book, but if not, here's the gist: many couples have such a hard time connecting because they are speaking different love languages. We are trying to show our spouses love in ways that just don't resonate with him/her.
If his primary love language is physical touch, no amount of service could compensate for a lack of physical connection. Her marital energy would be better spent expending less energy on creating the perfect dinner and cleaning and more energy on back rubs, hand holding, and … well, being physical.
Likewise, if he is confused why his wife is not more affectionate when he does plenty (in his mind) to show his love by buying flowers and cards, but her love language is acts of service, his energy would be better spent less on buying gifts and more on helping out around the house.
That being said, there are certainly some things Rich does that I appreciate much more than others. My primary love language is quality time, so even if Rich were buying me gifts all the time or sending kind texts, to me, it still wouldn't replace him giving me his undivided attention. That is how his marital energy is best spent- looking me in the eye, talking to me and spending time with me. Little else he does can compensate if that isn't happening.
So how do we know how to show our spouses love in the best ways and save our marital energy??
Your spouse is the only one who can tell you how to best love him or her. Here's a simple tip that may help: once a week every week ask your spouse: What is one thing I can do for you this week to make you feel loved?
Write it down and then DO THAT THING. Or at least give it your best shot.
I believe that done right, this tip can save your marriage.
Rich and I have started asking each other this question at the end of our companionship inventory. It is a WONDERFUL way to not spend so much energy with a trial-and-error method of showing love. Your spouse is telling you exactly how they want to be loved that week. And then when you do it, it is interpreted for what it truly is: an act of love. Your motives aren't questioned. Your energy is well spent.
I'm discovering Rich and I take very few candid pictures together. I'm quickly depleting my reserve on this blog.
This isn't about you, it's about your marriage, so start by just asking your spouse, and chances are they'll reciprocate before too long. And when they do, remember to keep your requests VERY simple and easy to do especially at first. (Rich and I have trial-and-error-ed this one for you; trust us, keep your requests simple).
We're all busy. We're all tired. We all should probably be spending more time on bonding with our spouses than we're currently doing. Use your marital energy in the best ways possible- ask your spouse how they want to be loved and then show them love in that way.
I think that this is a very good point even though I'm not married! My boyfriends love language is acts of service so I can understand him and the reasons he gets irritated a lot easier from that perspective. Likewise he understands my language is physical touch and is sure to kiss me on the forehead when I'm having a bad day. Communication is so much easier when you know what someone sees as affection.
These are wonderful ideas & tips. I'm practically married to my boyfriend, & I can relate so much to this post!!
I think my love language has changed since I had my daughter. =) It used to be physical touch, but now I think it's acts of service. I need to re-take the test again to find out!
This is so spot on, Celeste.
We actually share the same love languages (quality time, physical touch), but nevertheless, the question "how can I make you feel loved" is incredibly important. Maybe work is getting stressful for him, and acts of service would trump the quality time a little.
Sometimes I get really sad at society's representation of marriage. As if it causes people to become nothing but a "shell" of themselves. Marriage is such a gift and pleasure.. people that think otherwise don't understand that selfishness has no place in marriage, so of course they think it stinks! Anyways, I'm rambling… but I LOVE this post!

Aviation: Will flying cars take off?
The prototype Detroit Flying Cars WD-1 was involved in an accident at Willow Run Airport last Friday. The two seat experimental vehicle that can double up as an aircraft or a motor car hasn't flown yet, but it was undertaking taxi tests ahead of a first flight when the incident occurred. Its not appropriate to speculate on the cause of any accident before the investigation is completed, but the reports did bring thoughts about flying cars back to the fore. The Aviation Oracle has never really subscribed to the concept, and it's now worth outlining why not.
The prototype Detroit Flying Car met with an accident last week during taxi tests. (Detroit Flying Cars)
The concept of taking to the air and winging our way above all the traffic on the roads, avoiding bottlenecks and delays, but then touching down near to the office or shopping mall is extremely compelling. One manufacturer will take a product to market next year using the advertising strap line "Fly & drive freedom" which sums things up nicely. The US firm goes on to say: "One vehicle, two modes of travel. It seats two and converts from drive mode to flight mode in under a minute with just the push of a button." Sounds wonderful.
The Terrafugia Transition will go on sale next year? Is it a portent of things to come? (Photo: Terrafugia)
But the idea that we will all - or even many of us - will be travelling in flying cars in a few years time seems rather far-fetched at present. There are some obvious practical reasons why flying cars won't see widespread use in the near to mid-term future:
Flying car designs are always going to be a compromise between the demands of flying and road driving. Aircraft need propellers and wings that won't be allowed to be deployed on road-going vehicles, while cars have larger driven wheels. All the extra equipment and the complex drive train is not going to be as light - or as optimal for each environment - as items designed specifically for air or ground use. And anything that flies will almost certainly have to be maintained to aircraft standards, and that will be expensive. Cars typically have an annual service - anything that takes to the air (other than drones) is subject to inspection every 100 flying hours. Aircraft engines service and overhaul intervals are based on the hours that they have been running - are owners going to be happy using up these hours driving on roads?
The generation of flying cars currently under development are not autonomous - that is, they are not flown / driven by automatically, meaning that a pilot's licence will be required to fly them. That alone limits the size of the market to little more than the current pilot population, as there won't be many more people prepared or able to learn to fly (including meeting the medical standards), just for the sake of combining their road and airborne transport.
Just imagine driving along a motorway with a flying car skimming over the road and then landing just ahead of a stream of traffic... Or sprouting wings and occupying several lanes as it is driven at or above the speed limit to lift off... There is no way the authorities are going to allow these things to lift off or touchdown on our roads, among all the other traffic - it just isn't going to happen. So the types of flying cars currently being put into production are inevitably going to use airfields to take off and land, unless an owner has a very large flat field. And they won't be 'go-anywhere' machines because they will have to meet the rules of the air - which means they won't be allowed to fly at low-level over built up areas where they cannot 'glide clear' if a fault develops. And if your office is beside the runway at a congested, slot controlled airport there won't be any free airspace capacity nearby anyway.
Despite the shortcomings, flying somewhere and having a road-going vehicle available immediately upon landing will undoubtedly be a compelling proposition to some people. However, it isn't going to be a city-to-city journey for reasons already explained. That means the end-to-end journey will be increased by the time it takes to drive to an airport, or into a city. And are flying cars going to be admitted into many airports - in order to use the runway - without being subject to detailed security inspections? Unlikely - certainly not at the larger ones. So there will be delays in transitioning from ground to air too.
Even a minor ding to the panel / skin of an aeroplane has to be inspected by an engineer, because a small dent could mask more extensive structural damage. Who is going to risk parking their flying car in a supermarket car park, when an incident could mean it's grounded for an inspection? Aircraft tend to operate in fairly well protected environments, where knocks are less common than on the roads. And it won't be possible to take a flying car to a body repair centre round the corner - it will have to go to a firm that specializes in airframes. Are owners going to be happy paying for the work to be done to their flying cars?
It usually costs far more to repair an aircraft after an accident than it does to fix a car. However, insurance for light aircraft often costs little more than for a road-going vehicle, because accident rates are much lower. What's going to happen to insurance rates when a flying car is subject to the knocks that can happen on our roads? Will any insurance company want to cover a flying car at a reasonable rate, given it might get involved in expensive dings in car parks?
And finally, flying cars aren't going to be particularly practical. Those currently under development are only two seaters. There's nothing too much wrong with that given they are likely to be used only as recreational vehicles, but it certainly rules out a whole family travelling together. Furthermore, aircraft are constrained by weight and balance. So while it may be possible to fly to the DIY superstore or garden centre in a flying car, returning home loaded with paint, shrubs or flat-pack furniture is going to be almost impossible.
So if would be owners are going to have to drive to and from airports in their flying cars, and if they are going to have to pay aircraft-like rates for maintenance and repair, what's their true appeal? Private pilots who already own aircraft might as well keep that for flying, and run a car on the road. Potential buyers might save the cost of a aircraft hangar at an airfield by taking their flying car home and parking it in a garage, but that's about all.
Earlier flying cars such as the Taylor Aerocar weren't overly successful - only six were built. The current designs will sell better but are still unlikely to be a practical proposition.
Nope, flying cars don't add up at the moment. The Aviation Oracle thinks that those currently being offered to customers such as the WD-1 (if the firm recovers from last week's setback) and the Terrafugia Transition will amount to little more than expensive toys. The Transition will cost upwards of $279,000, while an alternative from Aeromobil is projected to retail for well over $1.0m. That doesn't mean none will be sold but these designs will only appeal to the vanity of a limited number of rather affluent customers who probably own a light aircraft and have a pilot's license.
The Aeromobil 5.0 VTOL is likely to cost between $1.2m and $1.6m. (Aeromobil)
Bigger things to come
Have almost dismissed the current round of flying cars as 'toys', its important to point out that some heavyweights in the commerce and aviation industries are spending lot of money on research into autonomous flying vehicles right now. Thought leadership by names like Lockheed-Martin, Amazon and Uber demands attention. Their work will come to something eventually - most likely moving goods and packages initially, rather than humans. The work will eventually lead to wider-spread adoption of the technology and it will then start to make a transition into the private ownership space.
If that results in a self-driving / self-flying vehicle that can take off and land in a small space, like a helicopter, the proposition might become a little more compelling. But even then it's going to be interesting to see how highways, housing estates, and public parking areas will be adapted to accommodate such devices. It's going to be quite some time - probably decades - before the results translate into a flying car that will be a common site in the garages of the average family home.

First of all, let me commend you for hiring a lawyer to review the contract documents before you sign them. You might be surprised how many people don't consult an attorney when making a new home purchase – until after things go wrong. By then, a buyer's options may be severely limited. What could have been a relatively small fee, of a few hundred dollars paid to a lawyer to review documents, frequently turns into a very expensive legal battle with your builder and/or a very unhappy homebuilding experience. Of course, having a lawyer review your documents won't guarantee a smooth running job with no disagreements, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
As for the builder's assistant not providing you with specifications, I would respectfully suggest that she is wrong if she said no builder provides that information to their buyers. Construction specifications should absolutely be an integral part of every construction agreement. How are you supposed to know what you are buying if you do not see it in writing and it is not part of your contract? Do you get vinyl siding everywhere or brick veneer on certain walls? Does the refrigerator shown in the model come with your home? How about the icemaker, double bowl sink, granite island countertop? Who pays to have the driveway paved, the utilities connected to the house, the septic system installed? Will your heat pump be a high efficiency model? How many coats of finish will be applied to your hardwood floor? What if you want more than one color paint in your house, extra electrical outlets, more phone jacks, wires for a sound system…? There is almost no limit to the things that can and do go wrong when clearly written specifications are not included in a homebuilding agreement. More importantly, without such information in writing, you have little legal recourse if you don't get that for which you thought you paid.
While it is generally a good idea, whenever possible, to give your builder the benefit of the doubt and to avoid upsetting the people that are building your home, your builder also needs to remember that you are still their client. As you say, it is your house, your money, your future, and you have every right to know what you are getting and to get what you want. So, make sure that you are comfortable with how your home will be constructed and what fixtures it will contain by having as much information as possible clearly defined in writing before you sign a contract. If you don't understand the purchase agreement, and/or the specifications, and/or the words contained in them don't say exactly what you think they should, it is a good idea to take the time to reword the documents, so that all parties agree, before you sign them. The only documents to which you will be able to refer when something does not go as you thought it should are the signed pieces of paper that make up your contract. In general, what you think, what the builder or their representatives told you, or what you saw in the model home are no longer very important if they are not specifically referenced in your purchase agreement and/or specifications.
Your contract should contain enough information that a third party – like maybe an arbitrator or a judge – will also know what you are purchasing. The more vague your contract, the more likely there will be disagreements over it. While some builders prefer vague contracts, to give them as much freedom as possible to make substitutions using "like materials", such a contract does not always benefit them in court. However, when specifications are not clear and a buyer thinks that they are not getting something for which they think they paid, a dispute almost always ensues. The size of the dispute is usually directly related to the cost of the items in question, but since people can become personally attached to a new house very quickly, emotions are just as often a major factor in legal disputes. Regardless of what started it, if the disagreement cannot be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, the project may be delayed and lawyers may need to get involved; at which point builder and buyer may both lose.
Getting back to the benefit of the doubt theory, maybe the assistant to whom you talked is inexperienced, or the builder may, as a matter of policy, send out as little information as possible until they know they are dealing with a serious buyer, or maybe someone simply forgot to send out the information that you requested. So, rather than have your attorney start writing letters too early – and pay for his or her time and upset the builder before you even start building – you may want to talk directly with the owner of the company or send them a very courteous letter explaining that you asked, so and so, for a copy of the construction specifications for the home that you are considering purchasing. She told you that "no builder provides that information" and to date she has not provided you with any specifications. Would they please see that you receive a copy of the construction specifications for your home as soon as possible so that you can make a decision on your purchase. Depending upon their response, you can decide how to proceed from there. Personally, if a builder would not provide written specifications for the house I was about to have them build for me, I would not have them build it, regardless of how much I liked their model home. However, you will have to determine for yourself what to do in your particular case if the builder continues to refuse to give you the information that you have requested. Hopefully, a personal conversation with the owner or a pleasant written request will do the trick.

Strawberries contain alpha-hydroxy acids which contribute to the perfect exfoliation of the skin. What should you do? Cut two strawberries in half and rub your face with half a strawberry. Stay like this for a few minutes, then rinse your face with warm water. Your face will be clean and visibly smooth.
Mix 3-4 strawberries with 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons yogurt and half a banana. Apply this paste on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Stay with the mask on the face for about 10 minutes, then clean it with cotton pads soaked in water.
Mix 5 strawberries with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Rub your feet with this composition, leave it on for 5 minutes and then rinse with water.
Mix 5-6 mashed strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sour cream or plain yogurt and a few drops of rose water. Apply the mask on the face and let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with water.
Mix some strawberry juice with few drops of rose water. Soak a cotton pad in this mixture and wipe your complexion to remove impurities.

Disclosure: I received the Innotab Max from VTech for review. All opinions are my own.
It is amazing how quickly children absorb information. They truly are sponges and I love giving my kids a heads up with educational toys and materials. VTech has proven to be a fantastic resource of learning toys from birth to grade school. The new VTech InnoTab MAX is a hot item on wish lists this holiday season.
This kids' learning tablet has been updated quite a lot from our current one. One thing that I noticed off the bat is that the InnoTab MAX comes with a kid-friendly cover with a handle that is removable. My kids love to tote things around and the durable case puts my mind at ease when the tablet goes mobile. It features a super fast processor and a high-resolution multi-touch screen display. Did you know that kids can actually exchange voice and text messages, photos, drawings, etc. between the tablet and a smartphone? Genius!
There are 15 onboard apps included such as Premium VTech® Kid Connect, My Magic Beanstalk, Movie Maker, Art Studio, Wonder Cam Max, E-Reader with Story Dictionary and more. It also comes with one free Toca Boca app and two additional free apps that can be downloaded from the Learning Lodge. Kenzie discovered Toca Boca a while ago and is obsessed! She even makes me play with her and can literally spend an hour in the hair salon 2 and kitchen apps. The memory can even be expanded with a microSD Card up to 32GB. Another neat feature is the rechargeable battery. I can't tell you how many batteries we go through in our household on toys. It's just insane and costly.
Don't worry about kids perusing odd and/or inappropriate material because there are parental controls available to manage their apps, web access and tablet time. This is must have for under the tree this year!
One winner will Receive a VTech Innotab Max!

Artists are always searching the world for inspiration, but the most amazing discoveries are really inside their creative minds. Treat them to a sensory depravation experience and let their minds wander the Cosmos in search of beauty and truth. Or maybe they just take a nap, either way they'll get something out of it.

Lung capacity is defined as the total amount of air in the lungs, right after taking a deep breath; whereas lung volume is the physical dimensions of the lungs. Lung ability is calculated utilizing the different lung quantities during breathing and also exhalation. The lung capacity is measured with a spirometer; as well as an average person can hold about five to six liters of air in his/her lungs. In the event of normal breathing, this kind of capacity is not fully used.
During an analysis, the patient will be first checked for almost any respiratory diseases. Breathing issues, just like coughing tend to be confirmed during an actual test. Other tests to make sure that level and also duration are blood tests, chest x-ray, spirometry and screening sputum samples. There is no cure for persistent bronchitis, but medications, like corticosteroids, are prescribed to help cope with the signs. Because chronic bronchitis will be bacterial in nature, medicines are given. Patients with chronic bronchitis are extremely vulnerable to some other infections.
Doctors usually administer a pneumococcal vaccine as well as annual flu vaccine, to prevent infection risk.
The best treatment, is always to quit smoking.
Avoid second-hand smoking at all costs.
Air pollutants as well as gases also worsen the condition, so clean and pure area help ease chronic respiratory disease.
Diet and health and fitness also help curb the results.
Exercise a lot more frequently.
Drink at least eight glasses of water daily to eliminate the phlegm. Chicken soup or cozy teas will also be very helpful for this purpose. Even if you do not think that eating anything, you have to keep healthy food for the sake of your baby.
There is actually an increased sense of exhaustion and fatigue experienced. This is as a result of way the particular lungs are working due to the development of the condition. Thus, as the scarring progresses, the amount of oxygen infused into the blood from the lungs will decrease; thereby, leading to exhaustion and exhaustion.
Given below is an understanding of the signs and symptoms of lung infection caused by various microbial agents along with certain helpful cures to stub the root of the infection.
Lung infection is generally referred to as lower respiratory tract infection. This term is synonymous with pneumonia. Lung bacterial infections tend to make the individual feel extremely weak, straining the patient's overall health also. There are two types of infections of the lungs: (1) Chronic; and (2) Acute. The most common infections of the lungs consist of pneumonia and bronchitis.
Lack of liquid may result in dry mucous and will not necessarily assist in the assembly of more mucus. Thus you need to drink a lot of water in order to take care of the liquid balance within your body. The humidity level of the area in which you sleep also needs to be high. This will keep your airways moist and will reduce coughing.
Changing your body position will help you almost immediately stop a coughing fit. Simply sit on a chair and flex towards your knees. While doing so, try and control the shhh and breathe typically through your nose. Hold your breath for a few seconds and breathe again while in the identical position. Then, lift your head and sit upright. Focus on your breathing pattern as opposed to your own cough. It is likely to reduce then.

La nevicata del 1985, nota nell'Italia Settentrionale come nevicata del secolo, fu una precipitazione nevosa che si abbatté su gran parte dell'Italia centro-settentrionale fra il 13 e il 17 gennaio 1985, provocando grandi disagi, causata dalla contemporanea ondata di freddo.

Inverno 1984/1985

Condizioni climatiche generali

L'inverno tra il dicembre 1984 e il gennaio 1985 fu particolarmente rigido, caratterizzato da temperature sempre più basse, a causa di un'anomalia termica della stratosfera che provocò il congiungimento dell'anticiclone delle Azzorre con quello polare, permettendo la discesa di aria artica marittima sull'Europa.

Il gennaio 1985
A partire dal 4 gennaio, una massiccia ondata di gelo proveniente dall'artico russo (più precisamente dal mare di Kara) raggiunse il mar Mediterraneo, avanzando con estrema velocità.

L'ondata di gelo, in un primo momento, provocò estese nevicate su Toscana, Umbria, Marche, Lazio (Roma compresa), Campania e anche, in misura minore, in Pianura Padana (sebbene non si trattasse di un fenomeno eccezionale per il clima dell'Italia Settentrionale). A causa dell'inversione termica e dell'effetto albedo, le temperature minime in Toscana ed Emilia-Romagna scesero anche al di sotto di -20 °C.

Successivamente, tra il 13 ed il 17 gennaio 1985, una depressione centrata sul mar di Corsica provocò quella che (assieme alle altre che seguirono nei giorni successivi) è ancor oggi ricordata a Milano come la nevicata del secolo o la nevicata del 1985, costituendo la nevicata più forte registrata a Milano nel XX secolo.

In una sola nevicata, che durò oltre 72 ore, caddero tra i 70 ed i 90 cm di neve. Il totale dei centimetri di neve caduti raggiunse livelli record: 20 centimetri a Genova, 30 a Venezia, 40 a Padova e Treviso, 50 a Udine e Vicenza, 60 a Biella, 80 a Bologna, 90 a Brescia, 110 a Como, 122 a Varese, 125 a Belluno fino a 160 cm in Valganna a nord di Varese. Da 130 a 150 cm a Trento. A Milano, dopo 4 giorni e 3 notti di nevicata, il manto nevoso arrivava fino a 90 cm. Nevicò addirittura a Cagliari e in tutta la Sardegna.

Conseguenze

L'eccezionalità del fenomeno provocò caos e problemi in tutto il Nord Italia, impreparato ad una simile situazione. Inoltre, parte delle attrezzature antineve della metropoli lombarda erano state precedentemente inviate a Roma, dal momento che la Capitale era già stata bloccata, il 6 gennaio, da una nevicata di dimensioni anomale per il luogo.

Milano restò bloccata per tre giorni, con le strade invase da bambini in slittino e buontemponi con gli sci. Alcune strade furono nuovamente rese agibili al traffico dopo l'intervento dei carri armati della caserma Perucchetti, ubicata entro la città, per cercare di liberare le strade principali urbane schiacciando e spostando la neve. Vennero impiegati 650 militari di leva del terzo battaglione trasmissioni Spluga, del reggimento artiglieria a cavallo "la Voloire", del terzo battaglione logistico di manovra Bersaglieri della brigata Goito, secondo battaglione bersaglieri "Governolo" (Legnano), tutti acquartierati in caserme entro la città o nei dintorni. Solamente le automobili con le catene montate sulle ruote erano in grado di circolare per le strade cittadine; la rampa di salita sul ponte della Ghisolfa venne bloccata per ore, causa la sbandata di un autoarticolato scivolato sulla neve depositata sul manto stradale.

Per il carico eccessivo della neve, crollò il tetto del velodromo Vigorelli, mentre il nuovo palazzo dello sport (costruito nove anni prima, vicino allo stadio di San Siro), venne completamente distrutto e mai più ricostruito. I tetti di molti altri edifici pubblici e privati crollarono a causa del peso della neve accumulata, tra cui uno dei due padiglioni palestra della scuola del Sole, nel parco Trotter, mentre lungo le strade abbondavano i rami degli alberi che avevano ceduto per l'accumulo nevoso.

In Lombardia le scuole restarono chiuse per una settimana, tranne a Milano, dove vennero aperte prima. L'esercito intervenne per le principali arterie del centro, le vie minori non poterono essere sgomberate costringendo gli studenti (in molte zone della città) a recarsi a scuola con difficoltà, anche perché per rimuovere la neve dalle strade erano stati forzatamente utilizzati mezzi non specifici (ad es. gli escavatori) che l'avevano accumulata in alcuni punti dei marciapiedi, o tra le strade e i marciapiedi, rendendo ancor più difficile la circolazione dei pedoni e i loro attraversamenti delle strade.

L'amministrazione comunale milanese venne accusata di non aver provveduto a compilare in autunno la lista degli spalatori di neve occasionali da mobilitare per le emergenze neve; a tale accusa venne risposto che al solito appello annuale non vi era stata adeguata risposta di potenziali spalatori.

Gli accumuli della neve, raccolta entro il centro urbano da vari autocarri, vennero scaricati in campi periferici alla città, dove resistettero fino a fine primavera, annerendosi sempre più col passare del tempo a causa dell'inquinamento cittadino.

L'evento è tuttora impresso nei ricordi di coloro che lo vissero anche perché, dopo un paio di anni, ci furono tre inverni consecutivi senza fiocchi di neve in molte zone d'Italia.

Ricordi dell'evento nella musica, letteratura e teatro

Il gruppo rock Bluvertigo intitolò il suo terzo album Zero - ovvero la famosa nevicata dell'85, in ricordo dell'ultimo momento in cui, a detta del complesso, la moderna e attrezzata Lombardia andò in crisi.

All'interno dell'album Dopoguerra del gruppo rock italiano Klimt 1918 è presente la canzone Snow of '85, ambientata appunto durante questa famosa nevicata.

Piero Colaprico e Pietro Valpreda ispirati dalla nevicata hanno scritto un romanzo giallo La nevicata dell'85
ambientato nella Milano bloccata dalla nevicata del 1985.

La vicenda di un altro romanzo giallo Asso di picche, scritto da Luciano Secchi, con protagonista il detective Riccardo Finzi si svolge anch'essa durante la nevicata.

Emilio Russo ha scritto Diario Anni Ottanta, un dramma teatrale ove sette personaggi sono bloccati causa la nevicata entro un bar a Milano. L'opera è stata rappresentata al teatro Filodrammatici di Milano durante la stagione 2006/2007.

Nel 2008 si è formata la band La nevicata dell'85, molto attiva nella scena indipendente lombarda. L'omonimo album di debutto è uscito nel 2010 per Fumaio Records.

Nel 2011 il cantautore bresciano Beppe Donadio pubblica la canzone Il primo uomo sulla neve, cantata in coppia con Fabio Concato.

Le interpellanze parlamentari
Il blocco quasi generale della circolazione e degli aeroporti, causato dalla nevicata, fu oggetto di numerose interpellanze da parte di parlamentari, alla Camera dei deputati durante la seduta del 16 gennaio 1985.

La risposta del Governo venne data sia dal Ministro dei trasporti Claudio Signorile che dal Ministro per il coordinamento della protezione civile Giuseppe Zamberletti.

Signorile osservò ...il carattere eccezionale, realmente eccezionale, delle precipitazioni e delle condizioni meteorologiche.... aggiungendo, a discolpa dei disservizi lamentati nelle interpellanze, che ... il riferimento al 1956 è solo parzialmente esatto, dal momento che, se genericamente la tendenza meteorologica è stata sul tipo di quella del 1956, l'intensità delle precipitazioni, la situazione delle temperature e la gravità delle conseguenze sono state nettamente superiori.. fornendo inoltre paragoni con disservizi avvenuti in altri paesi europei in simili condizioni.

Zamberletti riferì che aveva ...disposto il trasferimento di unità del genio del IV corpo d'armata, della regione nord-est, in supporto alla realtà metropolitana lombarda e soprattutto della città di Milano... . Questi reparti erano posti a disposizione della Prefettura di Milano in coordinamento con i Sindaci locali.

Altre notevoli nevicate in Italia settentrionale
 L'inverno tra il 1946 e il 1947 passerà alla storia come uno dei più freddi e nevosi di sempre per il nord Italia. Il mese di gennaio trascorse all'insegna del gelo causato da frequenti incursioni dell'anticiclone termico russo-siberiano in sede Europea. Molte importanti città del nord (Torino-Milano-Venezia) toccarono temperature minime inferiori ai -10 °C nel corso della prima decade. L'osservatorio di Milano Brera registrò nel primo mese dell'anno temperature negative per tutti i 31 giorni, 19 dei quali con temperatura massima sotto lo zero. La media mensile fu di -2,59 °C inferiore alla norma. Ad inizio febbraio si verificò quella che fino al 1985 rimase catalogata come "La nevicata del XX secolo". Il continuo afflusso da est di aria fredda dei giorni precedenti aveva posto le basi per l'instaurarsi di un solido "cuscinetto di aria fredda" in pianura padana ideale per abbondanti nevicate. Il giorno 2 febbraio giunse da ovest un'intensa perturbazione atlantica con minimo posizionato tra Inghilterra e Francia profondo . Il giorno 3 Milano fu interessata da una modesta nevicata di 10 cm che si dovettero però sommare a quelli della notte successiva. Infatti tra le 19:00 di lunedì 3 e le 14:00 di martedì 4 nel capoluogo lombardo caddero 50 cm di neve che paralizzarono la vita cittadina. Gran parte del NO italiano rimase bloccato da una nevicata che lasciò al suolo a seconda delle zone 20 cm - 80 cm di neve. Si citano sempre gli inverni del 1929, 1933, 1956 e 1985 ma uno dei più nevosi fu proprio quello del 1947 con accumulo finale di 116 cm per la città di Milano. Il record spetta all'inverno del 1978 con 125,0 cm.
 Tra il 4 e il 5 gennaio 1954 pesanti nevicate interessarono molte zone della pianura padana. In circa 24 ore caddero 60 cm a Torino e Brescia, 50 a Milano, 90 a Piacenza e Cremona, 55 a Reggio Emilia, 35 a Bologna e 45 a Vicenza.
 Nel febbraio 1956 si registrò un'ondata di freddo eccezionale, accompagnata da intense nevicate: il 2 febbraio la Pianura padana scese sotto l'isoterma -15 °C a 850 hPa, mentre la -20 °C abbracciò interamente le Alpi e bufere di neve interessano tutto il nord e già il 4 febbraio tutte le precipitazioni, in atto su buona parte dell'Italia, erano oramai nevose; il 13 febbraio giunsero nuove correnti gelide dalla valle del Rodano determinando temperature rigidissime in quota che avvolsero tutto il nord e determinarono intense nevicate, ma gelo e precipitazioni insistettero ancora nei giorni successivi e nuove nevicate si ripeterono in particolare il 18 febbraio su tutto il centronord, e la neve continuò fino al 20 febbraio.
 L'inverno tra il 1977 e il 1978 va ricordato per l'alto numero (almeno una decina) di eventi nevosi che furono registrati nell'Italia settentrionale. A Trento e Varese caddero più di 200 cm, nel Milanese circa 125 cm. Disagi si ebbero in molte località per il pericoloso accumulo di neve sui tetti delle case.
 Tra il 26, 27 e il 28 gennaio 2006, sempre nell'Italia settentrionale, si verificò un'altra nevicata eccezionale. La sua particolarità fu che, pur essendo meno abbondante di quella del 1985 – durò metà del tempo (36-40 ore) – fece registrare un'intensità e una velocità d'innalzamento del manto nevoso da primato. Particolare fu anche la velocità con cui parte del manto nevoso si sciolse a causa della pioggia che seguì la nevicata e al successivo consistente aumento termico; la poca neve rimasta però restò al suolo per più di 15-25 giorni. La regione più colpita fu la Lombardia, con accumuli di 40–60 cm nel Milanese, 50–70 cm a Como e 78 cm a Varese; mentre in Valganna e Valmarchirolo (valli a nord di Varese) si misurarono circa 115 cm. Oltre al capoluogo regionale, vennero maggiormente colpite le zone della Brianza monzese e lecchese con 65/70 cm di neve. Anche il Trentino venne colpito dall'intensa nevicata: a Trento si superarono i 70–80 cm di accumulo, nella zona di Rovereto circa 50–60 cm e nell'alto Garda trentino (Riva del Garda) oltre 40–45 cm. A Genova l'accumulo fu di 25–50 cm.

CD Projekt Red finally brings HDR support for The Witcher 3 on PlayStation 4 but visual bug still remains.
It's been three years action role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from developer CD Projekt Red came out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Yet, people cannot seem to get enough of it and so, constant updates are being released every now and then. The most recent released patch is for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro, which was about to fix issues from the one released back in April. However, players started immediately complaining about having some visual problems.
This update was introduced with HDR color support for Sony consoles but creating issues when people tried to run the game in 4K. Patch 1.60/1.61 was dropped to support all PS4 consoles as they promised in December while adding 60 fps support Xbox One X. That was it for back then and Xbox One S had to wait till March to have updated with superior visuals. Aside from graphical improvement, the patch was supposed to do some performance optimizations and stability improvements.
According to developer patch notes; there were also a few localization bug-fixing and slight visual enhancements. However, players were mostly concerned with object popping up in between places and less detail in distance. Suddenly that has become a major issue with everyone who tried out this update. Some objects are getting disappeared and then some of them appearing out of nowhere. This are not just some claims, there are videos on YouTube to back it up.
If you look closely, Geralt of Rivia runs through the field, grasses starts showing detailed texture as he nears them but they remain on a reduced level of detail when seen from the far. The most noticeable immersion breaking comes after 0:52 time frame of the clip above. Of course the tree didn't just popped out but it only detailed out as whole only when he approaches nearby it and not before. After seven months of waiting, this really made a lot of fan upset on so many levels.
Players who have faced this have mentioned that up until patch 1.60, this problem didn't exist. Supersampling for PS4 Pro also is removed for those playing it on a 1080p TV and need to enable settings once again. Issue of items popping up only comes when the game is played in 4K Mode, while 1080p mode remain fine for now. The update came out on a perfect time as The Witcher 3 will be celebrating its three-year anniversary on May 19, if it was not for these current inconveniences.


We brought about 40 people on our second annual rafting trip with Holiday Expeditions last month. Surprisingly, a bunch of SEO geeks survived a weekend together with thunderstorms, blazing sun, chocolate-milk water full of tree stumps and cacti, two nights camping, intense water fights, frogs in sleeping bags, hiking in Canyonlands National Park, noodling for catfish, and more than 23 of the country's most intense whitewater rapids in Cataract Canyon.
Holiday Expeditions pampered us along the way with entertaining guides, excellent food like steaks, omelets, chicken-Caesar salad wraps, blueberry pancakes and lasagna. Props to them; they put on a great trip.
What an amazing trip! Loved the water, loved the camping, loved the scenery, loved the guides, loved the food.
I highly recommend Holiday Expeditions as a tour company. They really can't be beat.
That water doesn't look at all white to me.
That looks like fun. The water reminds me of when I was young we used to play in canals that had the same type of water.

An increasing number of states are investing in the well-being and success of young children by expanding mental health services in pediatric, home, and community settings, according to a recently updated report by the National Center for Children in Poverty.
Using Medicaid to Help Young Children and Parents (now with enhanced maps) provides information about key early childhood mental health services states are covering with Medicaid, including dyadic treatment; mental health services for children in home visits; parenting programs; and ECMH services in pediatric settings. The report also offers information about requirements concerning the use of evidence-based models and other features of coverage.
Even as some states have recently expanded Medicaid coverage for key mental health services that benefit young children, current federal proposals for repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act pose a grave threat to these services. As our colleagues, Elisabeth Wright Burak at the Georgetown Institute Health Policy Institute Center for Children and Families and Stephanie Schmit at CLASP, explain in Top Five Ways ACA Repeal and Medicaid Financing Changes Would Harm our Youngest Children, these proposals would leave many low-income families without any health care coverage, and reduce the important health benefits currently provided under Medicaid to children.
Advocate for coverage of key services that could be covered, but currently are not (such as parenting programs that address mental health problems and services for children who are "at-risk" but lack a diagnosis).
Speak up to ensure that services related to young children's mental health and parent depression are among the essential services that must be preserved in federal and state health care policies.
For technical assistance or questions related to these issues and the report, please feel free to reach out to us at Sheila.Smith@nccp.org.


As we method the discharge of Battlefield 5's Firestorm battle royale mode, gamers have begun discovering references to the mode within the game's recordsdata.
As you've little question beforehand seen with Fortnite, and Apex Legends, gamers who know what they're doing wish to dig by way of game recordsdata to search out unannounced particulars, or leak upcoming content material.
Battlefield 5 has seen little or no of that since its launch, however this modifications now that Firestorm is shut. Everyone is of course very curious concerning the first battle royale mode in a Battlefield game. Though DICE has but to formally reveal a launch date, we do realize it's a part of the following Tides of War chapter, which kicks off this month.
In an in depth submit on the Battlefield 5 subreddit, person Temporyal uncovered a bunch of unannounced particulars about Firestorm that would give us an perception into the way it's going to play.
Before we dig in, it's value preserving in thoughts that not every part discovered within the game's recordsdata essentially means it'll be in Firestorm. These references may merely be for cancelled options, or some which can be coming down the road.
First, the recordsdata do characteristic code for solo, and duo variants. DICE beforehand mentioned Firestorm is designed for four-player squads, and this might nonetheless be the case at launch, however we will no less than see that different choices are being explored. The maximum player count is, as beforehand confirmed, nonetheless 64.
One of probably the most fascinating particulars they picked up is that lessons do make a return within the mode, and it does seem that gamers gamers will have the ability to choose considered one of them pre-match. This could possibly be just like Apex Legends, which additionally gives gamers the selection of sophistication at the beginning of a game.
Keeping up with the extra fascinating findings; the Firestorm map seems to have safes that gamers can open. We're unsure what's the importance of that presently, however it's sufficiently big that the game retains observe of what number of safes gamers have opened.
In the preliminary reveal, DICE mentioned Firestorm will characteristic Conquest-style objectives randomly spawning across the map to encourage teamwork. This is as soon as once more current within the datamined recordsdata, and it seems a few of them will award gamers with autos, or different provides.
Vehicles have two variants, both transport or assault. Then there's air autos, which do make an look. There's even a reference to a helicopter of all issues. It's doable these are tied to reinforcements gamers could possibly name in, as there does look like code indicating such a characteristic exists.
Many conventional battle royale components will clearly be current in Firestorm. Players will para-drop into the map, and so they'll should scavenge for weapons, armour, and therapeutic objects. Firestorm seems to characteristic merchandise rarity tiers, and a standard stock system. Defeated gamers will probably be knocked out, and could be revived by teammates.
There's additionally a physique armour system with three tiers, although they couldn't discover references to an armour restore characteristic. Different weapon sorts will spawn as world loot, proper alongside attachments like sights, bayonets, bipods, prolonged magazines and so on. The recordsdata additionally make point out of incendiary bullets, quick bullets, and "heavy load" amongst them.
Generally talking, attachments look like based mostly on present weapon Specializations in multiplayer, so they could find yourself functioning like perks fairly than bodily objects gamers decide up. As for ammo sorts, it seems Firestorm will consolidate the normal calibres into the totally different weapon archetypes; so AR ammo, LMG ammo and so forth.
There's extra in Temporyal's submit on the hyperlink above. Though none of it has clearly been confirmed, their findings no less than allude to an fascinating battle royale mode, if nothing else.
