A small bathroom that is falling apart is turned into a beautiful, classic space with the help of the Bath Crashers crew. A large, carrera marble steam shower is added. Custom storage makes practical use of the space. Natural light fills the room and a built-in coffee bar make it easy to rise and shine in this bathroom remodel.
A tiny master bath with one sink and no character is expanded and enlarged into the master bedroom to create an elegant east coast cottage space. The features include walls with reclaimed barnwood wainscoting, exposed rafters wrapped in more barnwood, and the carpeting gives way to Ipe flooring. The shower is decked out in tile mats that are sprinkled randomly throughout with 1 inch seaglass accents. Attic space along on the wall opposite the shower area is converted to fit a large vanity with drop in sinks and a storage tower. A large skylight brightens the space and brings in a bit of the outdoors. Ocean not included.
Luxury, laundry and a Shower that Sings.
A small master bathroom expands into an unused adjoining bedroom to create a functional, large, and luxurious new space. Part of the room is dedicated to a stackable washer and dryer with a custom-built laundry tub that sits in a butcher-block vanity. The room is concealed by a pocket door from the rest of the bath space, which features a double sink vanity with granite top, marble tile in the shower, an Ipe shower bench, and shower glass with audio electronics that turns it into one giant music speaker. Another enclosure with pocket door conceals the water closet, and the main flooring is engineered oak barn barrel wood.
When you already have a big bathroom like these homeowners do, the possibilities are endless. Bath Crashers takes this big and boring space to the next level by completely blowing up the room and starting over. A massive storefront window expands the view overlooking a golf course while a sleek soaking infinity tub sits in front of it. The shower that sits in the center of the room is completely enclosed in glass. Waterproof speaker tiles are installed for a touch of tech and custom closets fill the perimeter of this modern remodel.
An old Victorian bathroom is upgraded with new materials to maintain its unique charm. A glazed brick wall highlights a steel and granite double sink vanity, while a huge soaker tub sits next to a metal-wrapped ethanol-burning fireplace. Engineered cork flooring keeps the feet warm on the way to the large walk-in shower. A wood ledge with embedded wine corks and stemware holder is the final touch for enjoying a glass of wine in the space.
A bath with carpet and angled walls is reshaped and expanded with eclectic touches. A free-standing soaker tub sits atop 24in.x48in. slab tiles and is framed by a DIY sculptured wood wall. A floating vanity with vessel sinks and wall-mounted faucets are accessed by a pivoting door and a salvaged china cabinet is transformed into extra storage.
A large bath is flipped on its footprint to feature functional elegance. A double walk-in shower runs the length of the room with one half dedicated to steam and body sprays. The carpet is replaced with hand-scraped hickory flooring, atop which sit separate his and her vanities. A wine bar adds extra storage and is set off with a hand-crafted burned-wood countertop and mosaic backsplash. A do-it-yourself knee-wall made with glass and artificial tree branches adds privacy in the right place, and the main wall becomes an eye-catcher with a beautiful stenciled plaster treatment.
A small, ho-hum master bath is expanded by stealing space from a walk-in closet, which becomes a large, 2-person steam shower that features music and chromatherapy lights. A long, sleek, bamboo vanity replaces the old 1-person station and features offset bamboo drawer pulls. Two mirrors are encased in unique bamboo cases with a mid-century modern geometric design. Textured wall panels dress up the entire vanity wall, and the floor features classy, elegant bamboo planking. The walk-in is replaced with a new closet system that extends from the end of the vanity into the bedroom along an entire bedroom wall, and features sliding doors with a bamboo veneer. Natural light is supplied in abundance through a new skylight in the middle of the bath space.

Drilling Expands Shumagin Vein Structure Strike Length by 42% to Approximately 1,350 Metres at Redstar Gold's High Grade Unga Gold Project
June 21, 2017: Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX.V: RGC, OTCQB: RGCTF, FRA: RGG) ("Redstar" or the "Company") is pleased to review its ongoing 2017 Spring Exploration Program at its 100% controlled Unga Gold Project in Alaska. The exploration program, focused on the high-grade Shumagin Gold Zone, included mapping, geochemical soil and surface rock sampling, geophysical surveys (surface MAG and IP), and most recently diamond drilling. The Shumagin Gold Zone remains open in all directions. Drill core & soil samples entered the assay lab on June 6, 2017, and the Company anticipates assay results in July 2017.
Following the successful ground based geophysical survey (MAG and IP) completed in April 2017, the Company recently completed an initial 12 drill hole program totaling 2,287.8 m of HQ & NQ diamond drilling that commenced in May 2017. Drilling was performed along approximate 100 m centers, with a goal of tracing Shumagin-style breccias/veining previously drilled at the Shumagin Gold Zone along strike to the southwest, as well as to complete additional infill drilling to further confirm continuity of mineralization. A follow-up drill program is expected to continue once assay results are received and reviewed. A more detailed geological overview and update will be made available once all assays are received and the geological modeling is complete.
Redstar's President & CEO, Peter A. Ball, stated, "We are excited to have intersected the Shumagin vein structure along strike to the southwest, and in addition intersected the vein structure within the main breccia system to the northeast with infill drill holes. The Shumagin Gold Zone has now been traced by drilling for approximately 1,350 m, up from approximately 950 m in 2016, an increase of 42% or 400 m. The work completed this spring both confirms the extension of the vein structure and, importantly, shows that the structure remains open along strike and at depth. The geophysical surveys performed over the Shumagin Gold Zone in April 2017 defined multiple hidden/blind structures with significant potential to host high-grade gold mineralization. Redstar also completed a geochemical soil sampling survey over the recently discovered parallel footwall structure, which is located approximately 400 m to the north of the Shumagin Gold Zone. Exploration along this long-lived structure is significant and continues to yield solid results each time the drill bit turns. Once again, the methodical step-out diamond drill program southwest towards Orange Mountain has intersected the Shumagin vein structure. Historical surface sampling has shown gold showings along the 9.5 km Shumagin trend across the island, and our systematic and focused exploration programs continue to confirm this extensive trend."
The Company intersected Shumagin-style breccias/vein systems in 10 out of 12 drill holes, with assays pending. Minor zones of alteration and stockwork veining were observed in the other two holes, and are not included as intercepts due to a probable fault offset, thus they will need to be further reviewed and modelled. In addition, approximately 600 gridded soil samples were taken to cover the strike potential of the footwall veining and associated geophysical anomalies discovered north of the Shumagin Gold Zone during March 2017 (refer to Figure 1 for Shumagin Gold Zone Plan Map).
Figure 1: Shumagin Gold Zone Plan Map
Redstar's VP of Exploration, Jesse C. Grady, stated, "Delineating the expansion potential of the Shumagin Gold Zone to the Southwest has been the Company's prioritized goal for the initial 2017 Spring Exploration and Drill Program. The methodical step-out drilling, that was guided by detailed IP and MAG ground surveys, has provided us with an exploration "template" that will be utilized on the other epithermal gold prospects within the Unga Gold District. A significant panel of vein breccia at the Shumagin Gold Zone has now been defined that can be infill drilled, while regional exploration efforts can focus on the other noteworthy gold prospects. From this drill program, we have recognized that the structures that host gold-silver bearing Intermediate Sulfidation-style Breccias/Veining at Shumagin occur at the transition of Advanced Argillic Alteration assemblages to Phyllic (quartz-sericite-pyrite) & Propylitic assemblages which also occur at other gold-bearing vein systems within the District (e.g. Aquila, Empire Ride/Apollo/Rising Sun, etc…). Noting that the structural controls, gangue mineralogy, and textures are all identical amongst these prospects, we have built a significant set of exploration vectors for the District. We are excited to further explore the Unga Gold District and continue the expansion of the Shumagin Gold Zone."
The Company commenced its 2017 Spring Exploration Program in March 2017, and initiated its diamond drilling program at the Shumagin Gold Zone, within the Unga Gold Project, in May 2017. Planning for the next drill program is currently underway and will be focused on completing a geological mineral resource and 43-101 Technical Report at the Shumagin Gold Zone where a total of 77 holes (12,840.5 m) have been drilled, with 37 completed by Redstar since 2011. Of the previous 65 drill holes drilled before the current drill program, 100% intersected gold mineralization, 38% returned intersections over 15 g/t Au, 25% over 25 g/t Au, and 12% over 50 g/t Au.
In addition, the Company is planning to also drill test other high priority gold zones such as Orange Mountain, Empire Ridge, Aquila/Amethyst, and the newly discovered footwall vein to the north of the Shumagin Gold Zone.
Jesse C. Grady, MSc, CPG-11592, Vice President of Exploration for Redstar Gold Corp. is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Grady has prepared and approved the technical information contained within this release.

UCLA biologists report they have transferred a memory from one marine snail to another. But I have a nagging doubt.
Posted on 30.05.2018 01.06.2018 by Artificial Intelligence
At the very beginning, this experiment reminded me of a 40-years-old student joke on pseudoscientific methodology, in which cockroaches were mentioned. It goes like this:
"A researcher suggests a hypothesis: the hearing organs of cockroaches are located on their tarsi." To test the hypothesis, we knock on the table where the unfortunate insect is sitting, and see that the cockroach is running away. "Then, the naturalist tears off the cockroach's tarsi, knocks on the table and notes that the insect is not moving. Thus, the hypothesis is proved and turns into a working theory. "
But given the current trends in technology, if we move away from this research on cockroaches, this experiment looks a little different from my point of view:
There are two identical TV sets in a room on two different tables. Both TVs are connected to the 220V electrical power network. But only one of the TVs is connected to the television antenna, i.e. the first TV shows a television program, while the second one does not, only white noise. Let's conduct a simple experiment – let's turn off the antenna system from the first TV and connect it to the second TV. Make sure that the first TV stopped showing TV programs, and the second TV started showing TV programs. We make a very simple conclusion – the experimenter managed not only to "transplant" the TV program from one TV set to another, but also to prove that all the TV programs are located in the antenna system! What a simple and understandable experiment, but how far it is from the reality…
"UCLA biologists report they have transferred a memory from one marine snail to another, creating an artificial memory, by injecting RNA from one to another. This research could lead to new ways to lessen the trauma of painful memories with RNA and to restore lost memories.
"I think in the not-too-distant future, we could potentially use RNA to ameliorate the effects of Alzheimer's disease or post-traumatic stress disorder," said David Glanzman, senior author of the study and a UCLA professor of integrative biology and physiology and of neurobiology. The team's research is published May 14 in eNeuro, the online journal of the Society for Neuroscience.
RNA, or ribonucleic acid, has been widely known as a cellular messenger that makes proteins and carries out DNA's instructions to other parts of the cell. It is now understood to have other important functions besides protein coding, including regulation of a variety of cellular processes involved in development and disease.
The researchers gave mild electric shocks to the tails of a species of marine snail called Aplysia. The snails received five tail shocks, one every 20 minutes, and then five more 24 hours later. The shocks enhance the snail's defensive withdrawal reflex, a response it displays for protection from potential harm. When the researchers subsequently tapped the snails, they found those that had been given the shocks displayed a defensive contraction that lasted an average of 50 seconds, a simple type of learning known as "sensitization." Those that had not been given the shocks contracted for only about one second.
The life scientists extracted RNA from the nervous systems of marine snails that received the tail shocks the day after the second series of shocks, and also from marine snails that did not receive any shocks. Then the RNA from the first (sensitized) group was injected into seven marine snails that had not received any shocks, and the RNA from the second group was injected into a control group of seven other snails that also had not received any shocks.
Remarkably, the scientists found that the seven that received the from snails that were given the shocks behaved as if they themselves had received the tail shocks: They displayed a defensive contraction that lasted an average of about 40 seconds.
"It's as though we transferred the memory," said Glanzman, who is also a member of UCLA's Brain Research Institute.
As expected, the control group of snails did not display the lengthy contraction.
Next, the researchers added RNA to Petri dishes containing neurons extracted from different snails that did not receive shocks. Some dishes had RNA from marine snails that had been given electric tail shocks, and some dishes contained RNA from snails that had not been given shocks. Some of the dishes contained sensory neurons, and others contained motor neurons, which in the snail are responsible for the reflex.
When a marine snail is given electric tail shocks, its sensory neurons become more excitable. Interestingly, the researchers discovered, adding RNA from the snails that had been given shocks also produced increased excitability in sensory neurons in a Petri dish; it did not do so in motor neurons. Adding RNA from a marine snail that was not given the tail shocks did not produce this increased excitability in sensory neurons.
In the field of neuroscience, it has long been thought that memories are stored in synapses. (Each neuron has several thousand synapses.) Glanzman holds a different view, believing that memories are stored in the nucleus of neurons.
"If memories were stored at synapses, there is no way our experiment would have worked," said Glanzman, who added that the marine snail is an excellent model for studying the brain and memory.
Scientists know more about the cell biology of this simple form of learning in this animal than any other form of learning in any other organism, Glanzman said. The cellular and molecular processes seem to be very similar between the marine snail and humans, even though the snail has about 20,000 neurons in its central nervous system and humans are thought to have about 100 billion.
In the future, Glanzman said, it is possible that RNA can be used to awaken and restore memories that have gone dormant in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. He and his colleagues published research in the journal eLife in 2014 indicating that lost memories can be restored.
There are many kinds of RNA, and in future research, Glanzman wants to identify the types of RNA that can be used to transfer memories."

This past weekend, I fell into a somewhat troubling conversation with a friend on Facebook. First, I guess, a little background would be helpful: Like a lot of authors, I have an author page, to which I tend to confine posts about my writing. For one thing, I don't want my friends and family to feel like I'm spamming them with stuff about the writing gig. For another, I have been known to post political items on my timeline, and I don't want to take a chance on alienating readers needlessly.
Makes sense, right? But then I had this conversation on my personal timeline. "Is Crosswind out?" my friend asked. I told her it was, and in fact, it had been out since November 20th – a good two-and-a-half weeks. And then she said that she had missed the news, which surprised her, given that we're Facebook friends, she's a fan of my page, and she knows me from Message Board X where nothing was posted about the book.

Why do we need govt.? Dept.
by CalWatchdog Staff | May 24, 2013 11:05 am
[1]May 24, 2013
By John Seiler
Governments tell us we need to pay high taxes to them so they can protect us from criminals. And one of the most liberal Democratic areas in the country is Oregon[2]. It's a heavily Blue state, last voting GOP back in 1984 when Ronald Reagan won every state except Minnesota. It's the left-most member of the Left Coast.
In the Beaver State, all major political positions are liberal Democratic: governor, both houses of the state legislatures, both U.S. senators, and the majority of U.S. House members.
In the new "Rich States, Poor States[3]" ranking by the American Legislative Exchange Council of how big government is, Oregon ranked 7th biggest government of the 50 states. So they're no slouches in providing a lot of government to protect and serve us.
But this just happened[4]:
JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Ore. (CBS Seattle) — An Oregon woman was told by a 911 dispatcher that authorities wouldn't be able be able to help her as her ex-boyfriend broke into her place because of budget cuts.
Oregon Public Radio[5] reports that an unidentified woman called 911 during a weekend in August 2012 while Michael Bellah was breaking into her place. Her call was forwarded to Oregon State Police because of lay-offs at the Josephine County Sheriff's Office only allows the department to be open Monday through Friday.
"Uh, I don't have anybody to send out there," the 911 dispatcher told the woman. "You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away? Do you know if he's intoxicated or anything?"
Incredible. Remember, this is high-tax, liberal Oregon. And if women can't get government protection from rapists, can the women at least get a refund of the tax money they paid for promised protection that never materialized?
So, are Oregon's budget problems because liberal Democrats, who run the state, are too stingy with taxation? No. You probably already guessed why the state has budget problems and can't protect defenseless women against rapists. Walter Russell Mead explains[6]:
Oregon Catches Pension Bug
Yet another state is preparing for a major hit by the pension storm. Oregon's pension fund for public employees is now in a $16 billion hole caused by the failure of its investments to come anywhere close to the 8 percent rate of return the state was predicting. Now lawmakers are forced to choose between contributing billions of taxpayer dollars to close the pension gap or fully funding the state's school system.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has the details[7] on exactly how the state got itself into this mess. The main culprit, as usual, is a set of overly generous benefits that actually allowed some state employees to earn more in retirement than they did during their working days:
— Workers hired before 1996 get a guaranteed annual return on their account of 8 percent, regardless of the actual performance of financial markets. In some years when market returns exceeded 8 percent, the entire growth amount was credited to member accounts — as much as 21 percent in one year. As a result, workers shared in the fruits of economic booms without losing out during busts.
— Some retiring workers can choose an option known as the "money match," in which the pension fund doubles the money in a retiree's account and converts it to an annuity. With accounts swollen by generous credits of investment returns, the option can result in a substantial retirement benefit.
It's the same old story. Government taxes us for "services" it can't provide because our tax dollars actually are going to retirees living it up at our expense.
We'd be better off just getting rid of government entirely and paying for services, including private police protection, ourselves.

One of the ways that 5th Avenue Dental in Spokane enhances the way we care for patients is through implementing advanced digital 3D scanning in our practice.
Digital 3D scans take an electronic "impression" of your teeth. We can use this virtual model to do everything from craft customized dental crowns to plan your orthodontic treatment. The accuracy eliminates human error for the best fitting restorations available.
Do traditional dental impressions cause a tickle in the back of your throat? Individuals with sensitive gag reflexes love our Spokane 3D tooth impressions because there's no need for a gooey tray to bite down on. Scanning the surfaces of your teeth recreates a model with pinpoint accuracy, and you won't have to worry about losing your lunch during the process.
In the past, traditional impressions meant that our Spokane office had to pour materials in a lab, create a model of your teeth, then ship that model off to a lab. If at any time the materials were exposed to cold, heat, moisture, or didn't dry properly, it could cause them to chip or warp.
Why does this matter? Because it caused microscopic changes that altered the fit of your crown or other lab-made restorations. Now that we're able to eliminate these risks, we can ensure a great fitting crown or bridge the first time, every time.
5th Avenue Dental is electronically connected with our own private dental lab. With a digital 3D impression of your teeth, we're able to transfer the file directly to the lab technician making your new crown, bridge, denture, or braces. There's no waiting on the mail to come or extra back-and-forth time spent working out problems with a model. It's all securely transmitted online. Some newer types of restorations are even milled by computerized equipment that is able to read the digital file, completely eliminating the risk of human error during the fabrication process.
Traditionally, the time spent sending conventional models back and forth between the dentist and a lab meant that patients had to wait longer for their final restorations. 5th Avenue Dental is able to provide more efficient care, because we've cut down on the time it takes to share your information with our dental lab. Faster doesn't mean sloppier…it means we're working more efficiently and in the best interest of our patients!
More efficient treatment also means we're able to make your dental care more affordable. By eliminating the extra materials and logistical issues involved, we can make your oral health care more cost-savvy. If you don't have dental insurance, we will work with you as much as possible.
Confused about part of your treatment plan? This is exactly where our 3D imaging comes into play! Our intraoral scanner makes it easy to share information with you, so that you can see what we do with your own set of eyes. After all, we understand that not everyone wants to take our word for it. We want our Spokane patients to have the same information that we do, so that you can make an educated decision about your dental care needs.
When Do We Use 3D Scanning?
Planning for ClearCorrect Braces — Orthodontic therapy takes a lot of planning, especially when it comes to computer guided clear braces like ClearCorrect. These aligners are made using a virtual impression of your teeth that we transmit directly to ClearCorrect labs. Their computer system takes your "model" and creates a series of customized aligners that reposition your teeth. If something needs to be tweaked or a tooth moved, ClearCorrect is able to do it virtually through their planning software, thanks to the digital image that we've captured in our office.
An Upcoming Dental Crown or Bridge — When you need more than a filling, it's vital for us to share an accurate impression of your teeth with our dental lab. The lab uses the information to create an accurately fitting crown, bridge, or other restoration that fits in line with your neighboring teeth. Even the slightest inaccuracies can create a chain of unwanted events. With digital scans, we're able to eliminate human error and material issues.
Smile Makeovers — Part of a smile makeover is seeing how your teeth bite together in relation to one another. We need to know which tooth "hits" other teeth and where, so that your new investments (such as veneers) fit properly and can be maintained.
Teeth in a Day Treatments — Are you preparing for a Teeth in a Day procedure or considering getting implants to replace all of your teeth at once? This process involves placing approximately four implants and immediately loading a customized denture that latches on top of them. Thanks to intraoral scanning, we're able to do this with extreme accuracy! The digital impression is taken in advance (even before any existing teeth are removed) so that we can carefully craft a new prosthesis that will fit as best as possible. Without it, your Teeth in a Day wouldn't fit nearly as well.
Experience high tech dentistry at its finest. Call 5th Avenue Dental in Spokane today to schedule your visit at our Spokane location. New patients are always welcome. Convenient 0% interest financing plans are also available.

Antarctica vs The Arctic: how to choose your polar tour
June 22, 2016 By Lauren in Polar, Travel Tips Comments Off on Antarctica vs The Arctic: how to choose your polar tour
It's all very well to settle on a polar adventure for your next big trip, but which direction do you go? North to Greenland, Canada and Norway? Or south from Cape Horn, all the way to the Antarctic Peninsula? There's no right answer. Each hemisphere has their merits. Ideally we'd say do both, but if you're trying to decide between polar bears and penguins, Northern Lights or Antarctic ice sheets, freezing cold or…freezing cold, this guide will help.
At the end of the day, neither experience will be a disappointment. Try to base your decision on what you want to get out of the trip. Wildlife? Sea ice? Adventure activities? The sense of a real expedition?
Antarctica, the cliff notes
Antarctica really is the frozen ends of the earth. It's the highest, driest continent on the planet, and to get there requires a trip by sea across the storm-wracked Drake Passage between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula (unless you cheat and catch a very expensive plane). Unlike the Arctic, 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, so the landscapes (although incredible) are largely the same: icy mountains, huge glaciers, sea ice and calving icebergs. If you're coming for plant-life and colourful flora, forget it.
Temperatures during the warmers months will still often be below zero, probably around -13 degrees Celsius, making it colder on average than The Arctic.
In terms of wildlife, Antarctica is obviously where you find penguins: Adelie, Chinstrap, Gentoo, King, Emperor, RockHopper and Macaroni penguins to be exact. There's also an abundance of fur, leopard and Weddell seals, as well as migrating Humpback and Minke whales.
The Arctic, at a glance

The Arctic is fundamentally different from Antarctica because it is a frozen sea, not a frozen continent. Technically an 'Arctic' voyage will probably take into account any of Greenland, Norway, Russia and northern Canada, which means there's a much bigger variety of both wildlife, landscapes and flora on offer. You'll find incredible ice sheets and glaciers on Greenland, but then there are also the Taiga forests of Russia and Canada, the inky fjordlands of Norway and the volcanic lava fields of Iceland. The temperature is a little warmer than Antarctica, but don't pack your bikini: in the warmer months it can edge above freezing, but it'll probably still be a few degrees under depending on where you are.
In terms of wildlife, Polar Bears are The Arctic's big drawcard (you won't find them anywhere else), but there's also migrating humpback and grey whales, walrus and harp seals, and large land mammals like reindeer, musk ox and Arctic foxes.
How to choose?
For a lot of passengers, it comes down to a simple choice between polar bears and penguins. And there's nothing wrong with basing your decision on that alone. It's worth keeping in mind that, while you're basically guaranteed to visit vast penguin colonies in Antarctica, spotting a polar bear on the ice flows of Spitsbergen isn't quite so easy. Our captains and guides know the best places, but it's not something that can be guaranteed.
Something seasoned Polar travellers learn to appreciate is, funnily enough, ice. Eerie blue sculptures, carved by wind and rain, snout-nodes glaciers calving into the sea, massive icebergs floating past your port hole. Both the Arctic and the Antarctic have vast icesheets that spread across the surrounding ocean as it freezes solid over winter. But if you're looking for the biggest, the best, the most impressive, Antarctica probably edges out its northern rival.
Image c/o Mariusz Kluzniak, Flickr
It sort of depends on what you'd like to see. For Antarctica, the overall best time to travel is between late November through to the end of February. The temperatures are warmer (by Antarctic standards, anyway) and you might catch the birth of penguin chicks if you travel in mid to late January. If whale watching is your thing, it's at its best from February through to March.
For the Arctic, cruises are determined largely by the retreat of the sea ice (it's hard to cruise on mile after mile of solid ice). High summer is the best time, which runs from late June through July and August. Those two months in particular are the height of the Spitsbergen travel season, and give you the best chance to spot polar bears, Minke and Humpback whales, birds and walrus colonies.
One thing that gets lost in all the 'adventure of a lifetime' talk around polar expeditions, is that neither The Arctic or Antarctica is impossible to get to, or even particularly difficult. The Arctic is a broad term, but most cruises will circumnavigate Spitsbergen. The airport there is only a few hours from Oslo. Other Arctic journeys may depart from Reykjavik (just over two hours from London) or Ottawa near the border of Quebec. Flights to these places from major airports are not unduly expensive, and in fact the big advantage of The Arctic over Antarctic is that you can quite easily tack it on to any existing journey in the Northern Hemisphere, whether you're in America, the UK or Europe.
Antarctica is a little different. Although it sits at the southern pole of the planet, the average traveller can realistically only access a small part of it: the Antarctic Peninsula. This is done from Ushuaia in Argentina, via a 2-3 day crossing of the Drake Passage. There is also a flight available from Tierra del Fuego if you're dead against an ocean crossing.
Explore Antarctica or The Arctic for yourself on a Peregrine small group tour.

"Riverrun" by Io Worthington and Lucy Mullican
(20th - 28th July 2019)
Photography: Marco J Federici
Art works by two recent Graduates of Glasgow School of Art chosen by Professor Richard Demarco
These artists are dedicated to respecting the processes of change and transformation, as found in water, plants, creatures, in life on earth. Through the act of drawing they document this change; Lucy using natural plant dye, Io watercolour and oil paint. Drawing is an unstable process; the first forms perish, erased, overwritten or transformed, by those that follow in the making of the work. It is an unending cycle of formation and decay. Lucy traces the lives of plants, following their change in colour and form with her pencil and b
rush. The subject of Io's paintings is transformation: a flower is a bird is a wave is a flame, all at the instant of their conception. James Joyce, like these two young artists, was concerned with the circle of life and death. His masterwork, 'Finnegans Wake' begins, or rather begins again, for the text is a circle, with these words: riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay. The work ends, or rather recirculates, so: a way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay. Joyce's words echo in the marks made by these artists.
Joseph Beuys, a Joyce scholar, was devoted to the earth, to plants, flowers, insects and the creatures who live with them: the hare, the stag, the swan. His spirit, devoted to Scotland, which he loved, and where he made masterworks, can be felt in the physical reality of their work. In this uncertain time of climate change, these two artists, at the outset of their careers, have provided invaluable food for thought to remind us, like Joyce and Beuys, of the true function and purpose of the artist.

I'd rather miss Olympics than take vaccine: Yohan Blake
Kingston , 01 Mar 2021
Jamaica's two-time Olympic gold medallist sprinter Yohan Blake said that he would rather not participate in the Tokyo Olympics than take a vaccine for Covid-19. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has "encouraged" all athletes travelling for the Games to take a vaccine but it is not compulsory."My mind still stays strong, I don't want any vaccine, I'd rather miss the Olympics than take the vaccine, I am not taking it," Blake, 31, was quoted as saying in Jamaican newspaper The Gleaner."I don't really want to get into it now, but I have my reasons," he said.The Tokyo Olympics is expected to be Blake's final Games. A series of eight athletics meets were organised in Jamaica on Saturday, marking the return of sports events in the Caribbean island nation after they were paused due to the pandemic. Blake himself was speaking after participating in one of the meets.The Olympics is set to be held from July 23 to August 8. It was originally set to be held from July 24 to August 9 in 2020 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic.

The price went through an important resistance at 1.2080 - 1.2129, but bulls are likely going to test the next resistance at 1.2246. If a pullback from this level happens little later on, there'll be a moment to have a downward correction towards the nearest support at 1.2129 - 1.2080.
Bulls faced with resistance at 1.2225, so there's time for a local bearish correction. The main intraday target is the closest support at 1.2164. This level could be a departure point for another upward price movement in the direction of the next resistance at 1.2225 - 1.2246.

His independence of spirit stands out in his demeanor, and the Golden One recognizes it. (Anthem)
Unmentionable Times the days of the past when humans still possessed individual rights and political freedom. The dictators regard those past days as evil, because humans were living for themselves, not for others. It is unlawful to speak of these days when individuals were free to pursue their own happiness. (Anthem)

volute a spiral, scroll-shaped ornament in Ionic and Corinthian architecture. (The Fountainhead)
Who is John Galt? This phrase is uttered as a sign of despair and hopelessness. The question lacks specific meaning and cannot be answered. Its use in everyday language is a sign that people believe answers don't exist to the problems that plague American society. Dagny and (to a lesser extent) Eddie are dynamic thinkers and people of action who believe that answers are possible and that positive steps can be taken to save American society. Consequently, they reject the pessimism that this question embodies. (Atlas Shrugged)

I didn't tell you this, but I decided to do something I have not done in the past with the choreography I learned from Mercedes in Jerez last fall, I decided to keep it.
You may think I keep all of the dances I learn from her, or perhaps you know me better than that.
My pattern is to let them go.
In fact, this intention I set last fall during the FlamencoTour to Jerez, to retain and polish the choreography Mercedes taught us, is part of the reason I set up the holiday challenge.
Yesterday I invited you to partake in the Dance as if You Were in Class with Mercedes Challenge with me. I figured it would be a fun way to keep some flamenco in our lives during the holidays while classes are on break. So, we'll be simulating being in class with Mercedes from the comfort of our own homes for seven days beginning December 25.
Below is a short activity to help you to get you ready.
By the way, I meant to send this out earlier today, but I was traveling to visit my family, and all of a sudden it's late! So, this can definitely be done on Day 1 of the challenge instead.
Materials needed: sticky notes or other paper, writing utensil, possibly this post.
Time it will take: 5-10 minutes.
I am in Córdoba. I like it here.
This evening we were taking a stroll, my nieces, my sister, and I.
That's something I like about Spain. Families and friends taking walks around the town together. It is normal. It happens every day. So many people out and about. Together.
Lots of jasmine hanging down the wall.
Ada, Margot, and I couldn't get enough of it.
This week I'm visiting my sister and brother-in-law and my three nieces for the holidays. When I arrived on Christmas Day Ada and Margot put on their flamenco dresses that I'd gotten for them in Spain last year. Each niece got a fan as well, that is tres abanicos for tres sobrinas. Since Ellie isn't really into the whole flamenco thing, she has been loaning us her fan this week and assisting in letra translation instead of dancing.
