On the eve of what could be a momentous launch of digital gadgetry - the release of the Apple iPad - I received the strangest email from Amazon regarding my Kindle. It invited me to spend anywhere between $84.99- $119.99 on a sleek Kindle cover by Cole Haan.
I'll tell you what - the coolest cover in the world isn't going to make my Kindle look modern. In fact, I've been thinking a great deal about just how Amazon is going to respond to the iPad, which sure looks like it has the potential to redefine the digital reader market, along with perhaps even laptops.
I'm thinking that by the end of the year, you'll be able to buy a Kindle for $99, and that this once-breakthrough product that has been dominant in this new category, could go the way of Yahoo, MySpace, and other "first-in products" that were ultimately usurped by something cooler, smarter, and simply superior.
So at a time when everyone's attention is on the excitement of the iPad, Amazon is selling expensive covers for their dated-looking Kindle. Go figure.
The other piece of this conversation has to do with radio. I know that every time a new device - or in this case, a new platform - is launched, there are radio people who start thinking, "Oh great - now I have to spend more money to participate in this space." Or "We're not going to do anything in this space until we can pay for it." Or my favorite: "Let's wait a while to see if this thing catches on."
But perhaps a different view is to consider that radio - through the development of apps - can be a part of the hottest new product launch since the debut of... the iPhone. The ability to be able to participate in a piece of technology that everyone's buzzing about is an incredible opportunity for a medium that can't seem to understand the importance of elegance, aesthetics, and the cool factor, not to mention the fact that pure AM/FM radios are rapidly disappearing from households, apartments, and dorms.
I want my medium to be able to share in some of the excitement that creates lines outside of the Apple store, covered by every news organization on this planet. This new class of devices has the ability to spawn the release of scores of other gadgets that make it easier for consumers to enjoy print media, as well as music, video, and other content.
The iPad isn't an albatross. It's an opportunity.
Fred, I'm curious: How much investment is warranted given that 1) if Apple were to sell 5 million units of the iPad, that would be about 1.6% of the population; 2) radio is still working to monetize streaming in general, while also trying to plan for ballooning expenses; and 3) the maintenance and content demands of apps for iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, etc. continue to mount and pull against still small budgets for web content. I agree that it's an opportunity, but how much does being "in" on the launch benefit the bottom line, in the short and long term?
All good questions. It starts out with having an overall strategy for digital - and for mobile. And every station/company is going to have different priorities, based on variables like budget, position, market size, etc. So there's no one-size-fits-all answer. I will say this - competitors like Pandora are vying to be everywhere, on every possible platform, and given that they are winning the streaming battle at the moment, that strategy appears to be working. I also believe that given the still-embryonic state of mobile - despite its meteoric rise - you cannot simply do an ROI analysis on a new space. Mobile allows broadcasters to purchase beachfront property. Whether stations can afford the upkeep is a good question. But listeners/consumers aren't going to be forgiving if they can't find you in a hot spot they enjoy. You're either there - presenting great content they care about - or they'll go elsewhere.

Antoniusschool Aerdenhout is een katholieke basisschool in de Nederlandse plaats Aerdenhout, vlak bij de grens van Heemstede, aan de Teding van Berkhoutlaan. De school wordt bestuurd door Stichting R.K. Onderwijs Aerdenhout. De school is in 1932 opgericht door de rooms-katholieke Antoniusparochie.

Geschiedenis
De Antoniusschool is in 1932 gesticht door de rooms-katholieke kerk aan de Sparrenlaan in Aerdenhout. Het kerkbestuur wilde eerst een stuk grond aan de Oosterduinweg kopen, maar aan de Teding van Berkhoutlaan konden ze voordelig aan een stuk grond komen. In die tijd was het bijzonder dat een rooms-katholieke school niet naast de kerk werd gebouwd. Maar naast de kerk aan de Sparrenlaan mocht door bepaalde erfdienstbaarheden geen school komen. Het kerkbestuur wilde toen zelfs de kerk verplaatsen naar de toekomstige nieuwe school. Van dit idee hebben zij toch afgezien. Na de aankoop van het bouwterrein werd architect M.I. van Engelen uit Amsterdam gevraagd een school te ontwerpen. De bouw startte in april 1932. De school begon op 5 september van datzelfde jaar met 3 leerkrachten en 82 leerlingen. Door de grote groei van het aantal leerlingen werd de school in 1940 uitgebreid met 3 lokalen en een gymzaal. Op dat moment zaten er in totaal 178 leerlingen op de school.

Een dag na de verbouwing werd de school door de Duitsers gevorderd, die het als een soort barak gebruikten. Er werd tijdens de oorlog lesgegeven in de Vondelschool en de villa's 'Varenbeek', 'Hazelaar' en 'de Wig'. Op 5 september 1945 konden de leerlingen en leerkrachten weer terug in de school. In 1962 besloot het kerkbestuur dat de school meer aan een bestuur had waarbij de ouders meer inspraak hadden. Bovendien was de Paulus-parochie gesticht en was de school ook de parochieschool van deze parochie. Toen werd de Stichting Rooms-katholiek Onderwijs Aerdenhout opgericht. In het begin van de jaren zestig moesten er zelfs noodlokalen op de speelplaats worden gezet, omdat er zoveel leerlingen bij kwamen.

Op 1 augustus 1985 is de kleuterschool 'St.Jozef' samengevoegd met de Antoniusschool tot één basisschool. In 1997 was er een groot onderhoud aan het hoofdgebouw. Daarbij werden daken, kozijnen en sanitair vernieuwd. Op de eerste verdieping werden de ruimtes verbouwd tot een magazijnruimte en een lokaal, wat nu gebruikt wordt voor extra hulp aan leerlingen en dramalessen. In het schooljaar 2003-2004 was er een grote renovatie, waarbij de lokalen werden vergroot en er nieuwe gangen en toiletruimten werden gemaakt.
De laatste verbouwing was in het schooljaar 2010-2011 waarbij er een nieuwe vleugel werd gebouwd waarin nu de peuters, groep 7 en 8 zijn gehuisvest.

De ligging
De Antoniusschool ligt in een rustige woonwijk, op loopafstand van het NS-station
Heemstede/Aerdenhout. De school in de stijl van de Amsterdamse School, hebben de 2 peutergroepen (Op Stoom) en de groepen 1 t/m 8 een lokaal.

Architectuur
De Antoniusschool Aerdenhout is gebouwd in april 1932 en ontworpen door de architect M. I. van Engelen. Het ontwerp is beïnvloed door de stijl van de Amsterdamse School. Dit is te zien aan de ingang met de glas-in-loodramen, waarboven de gevel is bekleed met geglazuurde, donkerblauwe tegels. Ook de verspringende delen in de muren, het siermetselwerk, de verspringende kozijnen zijn kenmerken van deze bouwstijl. De architectuur van de Amsterdamse school is een stijl die tijdens de Moderne Bouwkunst een grote rol speelde. De stijl is verwant met het Expressionisme.

Trivia
 Voor de opnames van de film, De Griezelbus werd de Antoniusschool gebruikt als decor voor de film als school.
 Er zitten momenteel ongeveer 228 leerlingen op de Antoniusschool.
 Op de Antoniusschool geven op dit moment ongeveer 18 leerkrachten les.
 Er hebben een aantal bekende Nederlanders op de Antoniusschool gezeten.
 Diederik Simon. Hij deed mee aan de Olympische zomerspelen van 2000 (zilveren medaille), 2004 (zilver) en 2008.
 Jochem Verberne, hij deed in 2000 (zilver) mee aan de Olympische Spelen.

Nick Lewin's Ultimate Cards Across.
The Cards Across is fine magic that has been a hit in many magicians show. However visibility has never been its strongest point. This version has deconstructed the effect and arrived at the most visual Cards Across possible. The punch of having red cards pass into a blue packet makes this an outstandingly visual piece of magic. The cards that can transfer between the two packages can even be selected by audience members in the routine if so desired. The routine plays equally well in a living room or a 2,000 seat theatre and is the ultimate 'packs small and plays big' piece of magic. No palming, no angle problems just great magical entertainment for any aged audience. A new improved, streamlined and simplified JUMBO version will be available June 2017.
This effect comes complete with the special Bicycle cards, DVD instructions and all the other props needed for you to be able to add this effect to your show immediately.
New Streamlined and improved Jumbo coming in February 2018.


One man had no food. There was no food and he had a young child, big enough to eat food. His grandmother was living: the man was married to the shanaghan's daughter but she died.
Grandchild, ch'idreedhoh vał is a toboggan made from the skin of the caribou leg bones. They made one, put in a fur blanket, and in it he pulled the child, they said.
The shanaghan's other daughter had a big family, too. She had lots of children. They had a hard time hunting so that man hunted for them. They did something bad. While he pulled his child [to their camp] in the dark, they said, "You are not coming in here. Don't come in," the other daughter told him from inside.
Well, grandchild, if he went inside, she would kill him. Long ago it was like that. So he couldn't go in. So even though it was dark, he put on his snowshoes and he pulled his child.
He walked in the dark beside a small valley and came to a small spruce tree all by itself. He leaned against it with his head. He put branches in it, put the baby in there and went away, they say. He walked a ways and daagoo came out from under some brush. He stepped on one of the daagoo with his big snowshoes and killed it. That was his food and he took it back to his child.
The shanaghan, mother of his wife who died, had followed him. She pulled a small tent after the child. They say she was a smart shanaghan. She came upon the child sitting there. She dug out the snow, laid branches in there and put the little tent over him to make a shelter. Then she collected wood and made a fire while her son-in-law, the child's father, was coming back.
Near there was a river and lots of wood. He made a sign and there they camped. He killed winter vadzaih , they said. The shanaghan gathered blood for his child. They made broth from the blood and gave it to the child to drink. He did that for him and he ate; then the child grew.
The child was smart as he grew up. All the people relied on him for hunting for food. The people who told him, "Don't come in here" froze, they say, because they had no food.
Lots of people who had no food stayed with the child, his grandmother and his father. There were lots of people but there was not much food.


As part of Unicef's blog series featuring partner local authorities to mark 2015's anniversary of the UNCRC on International Human Rights Day (10th December), Glasgow Councillor Stephen Curran released a blog on why local leaders must lead the way in advancing children's rights.
Glasgow is one of Unicef UK's Child Rights Partners and earlier this year the council made child rights training mandatory for all their elected members. In the guest blog for Unicef's Child Rights Partners series, Councillor Stephen Curran explains how this came about and why a strategic and political commitment to children's rights is essential to make rights a reality for children.

ASEAN FMs Summit
By editor On Feb 19, 2022
Foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) held in Phnom Penh virtually, chaired by Sokhonn. The representatives reiterated their commitment to ensure the full and effective implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement. The meeting was attended in person by foreign ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Laos, and online by foreign ministers of Brunei, Thailand and Vietnam, while Myanmar did not designate a non-political representative for it.
Furthermore, the ministers reaffirmed the importance of strengthening ASEAN economic integration and the intra-ASEAN trade, investment and supply chain connectivity to enhance the region's competitiveness, connectivity and resilience as outlined in the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025.
Pertinent to highlight that Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) is a mega trade agreement between 10 ASEAN member states (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) and its five major trade partners of China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The pact covers about 30 % of the world's population and accounts for about 30% of global gross domestic product. Apart from RCEP, the ASEAN foreign ministers also discussed ways to boost the regional economy in the post-pandemic era. To facilitate the region's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the body also emphasized the importance of full and effective implementation of the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework. The summit also discussed the Myanmar conflict and pledged resolve to ensure mitigate the major hurdles with reference to governance stability in the country.

'Heating and beating' are blacksmith's skills
By Tom Johnston
Staff writer Pioneer Press, Thursday, November 11, 2004
Jim Siebert's love of blacksmithing is more straight forward than the hot metal he bends. "I just like working with hot metal, forming metal, working with hammer and anvil, working with my hands," he said.
The Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, tool-and-die maker has for the last two years worked for the Barrington History Museum as a blacksmith at the agency's 212 W. Main St. quarters on the west edge of downtown Barrington.
Siebert, who started out as a horseshoe maker, works between noon and 4 p.m. on Saturdays from May through Labor Day. He makes, among other things, horseshoes, candle holders, coat hooks, and decorative signs the society either uses or sells.
To Siebert, his job is pretty simple. "It's heating and beating, that's bout it," he says. Usually, about 25 to 30 people make their way into the shop when Siebert is working. For some reason, they tend to want to witness Siebert make horse shoes. "It seems like everybody that comes in wants to see horse shoes being made," he said "And if younger people want to try, I'll get them started by making horse shoes.
Siebert does his work in the historical society's Village Blacksmith Shop. It is a reproduction of Creet Blacksmith Shop, the area's first working blacksmith shop that opened before the Civil War on Station Street, Siebert uses the original forge from Wichman's Blacksmith Shop, the village's last working blacksmith shop built in 1929 on Station Street.
After either moving entirely or recreating the buildings on its Main Street campus in 1999, the Barrington History Museum proudly possesses these prized buildings at its "Old Barrington Center" living history complex.
In 2000 we have moved to our new location in the "Old Barrington Center" at 212 W. Main Street in Barrington, IL. Please call 847.381.1730 for information about our events and exhibits.

The lack of big city news coverage and government agency involvement leaves independent photographers with the responsibility to document the breathtaking culture. The responsibility falls on these same people to bring awareness to epidemics sweeping it, such as rampant drug abuse, alcoholism, and suicide. Native American communities have a suicide rate of nearly double that of the rest of the country. It's a heartbreaking epidemic that sweeps all Native communities, including my own. To bring awareness to deep-rooted issues in my culture I teamed up with videographer Zach Erwin, for a photo and video project titled "Still Here" to spread awareness of these forgotten problems and issues beneath the radar, and to share the blissful and powerful imagery of healing our communities with tradition.
This footage was captured during the yearly Northwest Coast Tribal Canoe Journey, where thousands of Native people, young and old travel by canoe to a final landing destination. For two weeks we camp along the way hosted by different tribes. Traditional songs, dances, food, crafts, and stories are shared all day. The purpose of this journey is to promote sobriety by coming together in our traditional ways and reteaching our culture that was once lost, to the youth. Our goal was to bring awareness to both the positive cultural practices and to cast a spotlight on the devastation with these heart-wrenching interviews. In the social media influenced times, we know that the masses often don't believe what they don't see, so with this project, our hopes are to show you that we are still here and that we fill every day of our lives with effervescent culture and community.
The majority of people are severely misinformed about modern-day Indigenous life, and we counter that by painting the entire picture, showing you the good while you hear stories of the bad. In doing this we hope to avoid thoughtless, immediate judgment from drug and suicide statistics. The vast drug and alcohol use is often misunderstood by the public, therefore, it's never truly addressed. To those who know nothing about us, substance abuse is often seen as a staple of our culture but in reality, it is completely against our beliefs, the epidemics came after and because we were broken and shattered by the European inflicted genocide and enslavement of our ancestors. Our struggles come from people who thought they were superior to us, they forced what was left of our ancestors to no man's land, took their names and traditions away and introduced them to alcohol instead, it has left us devastated. Inferiority became our norm; we internalized the results of the pain inflicted upon us. Through photography we share with you, us taking back our true norms of community-wide sobriety.
Photography proves we are more than a forgotten people only to be seen in inaccurate textbooks. Photography shows that we are not alcoholic savages, we are peaceful, playful, positive people who are always surrounded by family and sacred traditions that have become a rarity in modern America. To help us heal and spread our peaceful ways, next time you pass a tribal casino on a road trip, stop to photograph the unseen community behind it. It's not easy to heal a culture when millions of Americans have their backs turned on them. Seeing is believing. The more people that learn and share our culture through imagery, the faster we will heal to be what we once were when America was ours.

Very nice article and photos. I can't imagine these are representative of daily life, though. Perhaps you could do a follow up, and part of the overall project, depicting daily life for a cross section of Native Americans?
I didn't know Indians had a drinking or drug problem. I've always thought of Indians as majestic people, who'd rather die than assimilate.
Of all the indigenous peoples on earth I think ours is the best and most special. The Indians come from tough brave stock.
The way I see our history with the Indians, is that the Indian didn't like the White Man and the White Man didn't like the Indians. You know, no harm, no foul.
What do you mean by "no harm, no foul"?
You know, we just weren't meant to be friends. Sad really, but sometimes that's how it goes.
I think the relationship between the White Man and the Indians is a bit more complicated than that. Europeans came, established a government, and took away their land.
Even a lot the reservations they were given have been given on false promises only to be shrunk, or even taken away again. It's a really depressing topic once you dig into it.
No, no it's not really any more complicated than hatred of the White Man and I have read that to this day they the Indians still hate our guts.
Now I know that's not true of all Indians, but probably most.
Yes, those that live on reservations are the people I'm talking about. People who have Indian heritage and are assimilated, I would say, are ambivalent, as most people are.
Not true bob, we don't hate white people. We practice peace and acceptance of all things. Even at the pipeline we were praying for the abusive policemen and private contractors.
So they hate white people for no reason?
We don't hate white people for no reason, we don't hate anyone as a whole because that's not how our culture is.
I believe that name of the state, Kentucky, means "dark and bloody ground." The name deriving from brutal wars amongst the Indians.
I agree with your assessment and I over simplified my comment, to distill it down to the, what I believe is the bare essence.
Interesting, thanks for the input friend.
Check where the link is again, and READ it, don't just try and pass it off as not applying to the USA.
You're more than lucky that Gabrielle didn't tell you off and delete your comment, because if this were my article/website, I would have. Keep your neocon nonsense to Breitbart and the National Review where it belongs.
You have a gift for storytelling, and for using your visual talents to share meaningful perspectives. Well done, and thank you for sharing.
The video is labeled "Part I". Will other parts be available soon? On Zachary's Youtube page I don't see a Part II.
Some of know only too well the problems associated with reservations. Their people come by night and steal our stuff and break into our homes and buildings. Then they drive back on the Rez and their cops stop us from chasing them and refuse to help our Police/Sheriff in catching them - even when we have it on video.
Too many of their people get jobs then fail to show up for a few days to a week or more and then come back expecting to still have the job.
BIA is a massive welfare program. Tribal members get their food allotment cards and sell them for fifty cents on the dollar.
They bring much of this prejudice on themselves.
With just a few tweaks, I or anybody else could say the same about white Americans such as yourself, in particular about how you sabotage yourselves by voting for politicians that work against your best interests, get you involved in foreign conflicts that do nothing but bring dead bodies and shattered lives home (and then who become homeless social wrecks much like the 'drunk Injun' stereotype people like you love to believe in), spend millions on military toys like the F-35 but won't spend money on social programs, public transit, or infrastructure, do things like be racist and buy a lot of guns, refuse to upgrade skills so that you're not dependent on resource extraction jobs like coal mining, etc. Who the frak are you to be giving Native American's any guff about how they conduct themselves?
What you and Zach have done here is work that matters. In a world that spends so much time yelling at the internet, but no one is listening, we need to preserve and tell these life stories.
100 years from now, no one will care about the gazillions of foodies or selfies. Nor will they care about all the self-promotion and commercials that flood our every waking hour. What they will care about is historical documentation, preservation of a culture, untold stories, and issues that faced our time. On a smaller scale, they will want family images to document their heritage and genealogy.
It, and mostly the comments, reminds me of this TedTalk, https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story ,where the speaker talks about her experiences relative to differing cultures. Highly recommended.
What a remarkable talk, that so well encapsulates what Gabrielle and Zach have done here. Thank you for this, Sam!
A quote that stuck with me from the talk: "The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story."
That's my favorite quote from the talk as well. I've recommended this to a lot of people since I first saw it. I'm always disappointed when they decline. I'm even more disappointed when they watch and have no reaction.
Well as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!
Great TedTalk. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely, I love this one!!


It would be fantastic to do it! I promise that if we don't get to do it for some reason, I will do my best to have Universal allow us to publish the book with all the making of, the behind the scenes art that we generated, because it is staggeringly beautiful. But any Lovecraft movie I could do, I would love – I love many of his tales, so if it's not Mountains, I hopefully can do one day one of his smaller short stories.


With a full horsepower motor, the XPOWER BR-252A is the perfect blower for providing high static pressure to fill up medium to large sized inflatables, advertising displays, and structures. The BR-252A, like all XPOWER blowers, is ETL/CETL safety certified for reliable indoor and outdoor use. What's the most important thing when it comes to a machine that is left on all day? Low Amps. The energy efficient motor designed to run continuously without racking up a high electricity bill.

Airblock Technologies Selected for U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force "Revolutionizing United States Air Force Operations" AFWERX Showcase
Airblock Technologies
Aug 6, 2021 · 3 min read
August 6, 2021 | BOSTON, MA — This morning, Airblock Technologies announced that it was selected for the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force's prestigious AFWERX program and its "Revolutionizing United States Air Force Operations" showcase. AFWERX is a United States Air Force program with the overall goal of fostering a culture of innovation within the service. The program had over 80 government and military evaluators review a total of 274 submissions, and Airblock was selected in the top 53. The program kick-off took place this week Monday, August 2nd and will include an in-person showcase at the USAF Innovation Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on August the 24th.
This news comes at a time when the the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Department of Defense are calling for improved aircraft maintenance operations to reduce the aircraft maintenance turnaround times (TAT). Agencies, both in the public and private sectors, are searching for ways to increase aircraft utilization, as well as implement predictive maintenance and enhanced data-driven decision-making.
"When I initially assessed the pains of aviation industry operations after more than 15+ years working for this industry, I knew paper-based processes and complex value chains were issues affecting the commercial side of the industry, but I never imagined this idea would bring the attention of governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Department of the Defense and the U.S. Air Force," said Janet Chacon, CEO and co-founder of Airblock. "I am truly honored to have our company selected for the prestigious AFWERX program, and I look forward to digitizing manual and analog processes with our platform, network, and award-winning team.
"As we continue to build the Airblock network and platform, having the opportunity to be recognized by and work alongside key governmental agencies, like the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force, makes the work we are doing at Airblock all that more meaningful," said Brian H. Hough, CTO and co-founder of Airblock. "As the original and foundational concepts and developments of Airblock evolved, even before our incorporation in 2019, we take great pride in these successful steps today, from inception and development to realization and implementation, as a trusted voice in the industry."

All my notes from the RailsConf sessions are here. They don't contain everything from the sessions I attended, just mostly things that were either new to me or were of some importance. O'Reilly put up most of the presentation slides on their site. Does anyone have notes on Uncle Bob's Clean Code presentation? The one on the O'Reilly site is Java-specific. He didn't do a Java talk at RailsConf did he?
If anyone was at Dante's on Saturday night, and took pictures of the Exta Action Marching Band, I'd love to see them.


In this video, we drove to Clark Pampanga and joined the New Balance Run On Philippines 2019.
New Balance Run On (previously known as the Power Race) is the premium road race of the sports brand, it features non-standard distances like the well-known 25K, 16K and 8K that is designed to push runners to go beyond the usual… a chance to power-up their performance.
This 2019 is also the first time New Balance hosted the race outside of Metro Manila, where more than 2000 runners still participated.
The 25KM route was both challenging and refreshing, and the change in scenery from your usual Manila race route gave this race a totally different race feel. This place actually reminds of how BGC was back in 2009.
Congratulations again to New Balance and to everyone who joined the race! This is definitely something to look forward to next year! Hope to see everyone again on the next video!

Orycon 2015 report!
It's a bit weird these days for Dara and me to show up at a convention that we're not actually working–or which I wind up missing because I need to blow the whole con actually writing because I suck at deadlines. *^_^*;; Medical shenanigans have also kept us from going to cons we've wanted to go to for a few years running.
Like, for example, Orycon! We missed the last couple ones due to those medical shenanigans, but this year, we finally made it down. This was the first Orycon we've been to in some time, so it was pretty much like going to the con for the first time all over again.
Dara has a con report up over here. To her overall commentary I will add that the hotel was pretty good, though it was a change of pace for us to be in a hotel with a tower-style structure rather than a more spread-out one like the Doubletree has for Norwescon. So there was a lot of Elevator Con going on, since there were things on the two lower-than-lobby levels, as well as on the 2nd, 3rd, and 16th floors.
And I did like the funky shape of our room. We were at the very end of a hallway, so rather than just being a square room or a rectangular one, ours was more triangular. Which was kind of cool. And we were up on the fifth floor, and on the correct side of the building to have at least a bit of a view out our tiny window.
Friday, when we came down for the con, we listened to more Big Finish on the way (Fourth Doctor adventures, the third season of those, with Leela as the Companion). And we wound up hitting a big chunk of traffic in Portland, which delayed our arrival somewhat. We wound up showing up right around dinner time. Once we got settled in (car turned over to valet parking, checked in, stuff dropped off in room, badges picked up from registration, books dropped off at NIWA table in the dealers' room, dinner eaten, milk fetched from nearby 7-11 for important tea-making purposes), the rest of the night was pretty relaxed and groovy.
First things first though: at registration, I discovered that HOLY CRAP TANYA HUFF WAS AT THIS CONVENTION. Because see, I'd had no idea whatsoever that she was going to be the author GoH at this con until we showed up!
The reason why this is important: I consider Huff, along with Esther Friesner, two of the top formative influences on my own writing, at least in the SF/F genre. (The other being Barbara Michaels/Elizabeth Peters, who was not an SF/F novelist, but who is definitely an influence on me nonetheless.) In Huff's case in particular, it's because she was my first exposure to queer-friendly fantasy that was also presenting queer characters without drama about them being queer. Don't get me wrong–I was right there with all the rest of the queer readers slurping up Mercedes Lackey's Vanyel trilogy too, because yeah, the Vanyel trilogy was pivotal. But it also came packed to the brim with drama surrounding Vanyel being gay. Huff's writing, when I found it, showed me that it was not only okay to have queer characters in your story, it was also okay to not have their queerness be a cause of strife and drama, particularly strife and drama that would get them persecuted or killed. Or cause them to lose their love interests.
So yeah, Huff's early books mean a lot to me and they're why I've continued to happily read her releases ever since. And yes, you can trace some of the feel of the Warder books right back to her Summon the Keeper stories. Including how she and I, to date, are the only SF/F authors I'm aware of with Newfoundlander male leads. 😉
Then, I happened to cross paths with her in the elevator as I was heading up to the 5th floor, coming back from getting that necessary milk! I had just enough time to say hi, introduce myself as Anna the Piper, and to tell her I'd be coming to her reading before I had to get off on the 5th floor.
After all of that, Dara and I went to the NIWA Meet & Greet, which was nice; it was good to see a bunch of faces to associate with the names I've been seeing on the Facebook group. Most of the people who showed up were already NIWA people, though one or two were interested in learning more about the organization, so that was cool. And we went to Frank Hayes' concert. Frank's generally always delightful, and I must always give the man props–he may often forget his own lyrics, but he's always so entertaining about it. He remains one of my favorite filkers to this day, and is responsible for a couple of my very favorite filksongs. <3
Saturday, while we were wandering around investigating what was where, Dara and I came in on a gathering in the fan lounge of the PDX Whovians group. They're a Portland-based Doctor Who fanclub, and it was fun to hang out and chat about the Doctor with them.
And since Saturday was going to be the time Tanya Huff would be signing autographs, I made a point of swinging through the dealers' room so I could go get a couple of her books. I snapped up paperback copies of both The Future Falls and The Silvered (not realizing at the time that I'd actually already bought that, DOH, but I didn't find that out till I got home on Sunday). Problem was, I promptly managed to tear the back cover of The Future Falls trying to figure out how to get it into my already overstuffed backpack.
And I hate damaging my books. Dara, while I was busy going AUGH, wisely suggested that I just buy a second copy, and get that one signed, and she could work on repairing the cover of the damaged one and we could donate it to the Little Library in Lake Forest Park. Since we owe the Little Library a book anyway.
So I did that thing. Huff and I have been following one another on Twitter for a while, ever since I volunteered her a bit of data about bouzoukis for research purposes. This was the first time I'd met her face to face, though! And I told her to her face that I'd been telling people a lot that "if you like Tanya Huff's books, you'll probably like mine". Which made her smile, and made her sign one of the books I gave her like this!
Autograph!
When I posted this photo to my Facebook and Twitter accounts, my friend Geri lamented that if she'd known Tanya Huff was going to be at this con, she'd have totally Paypal'd me money to get books to sign on her behalf. I told her Huff was having a reading the next day and her books were on sale in the dealers' room. I got Geri to tell me which books to get, and went back and acquired another copy of The Future Falls, as well as the hardback of An Ancient Peace.
Later that afternoon Dara got in on the Jam in the Key of C. I did not participate in this, because I hadn't elected to bring an instrument with strings–all I had with me were flutes and the good whistle, none of which were actually in C. However, it turned out that the title of this jam in the program book was misleading, because they totally did other keys. But they still didn't play anything I felt comfortable trying to jump in on, so.
Early Saturday evening went to the Masquerade, which was rather more laid back than the one we're used to at Norwescon, and closer to VCON's Masquerade in how it was done. Participants had a bit of Q&A with the judges when they came out, and there was less emphasis on skits to present to show yourself in character. As always, Torrey Stenmark's costuming was excellent and it was great to see her in full genderswapped Captain America regalia, and it was delightful to learn that she calls that version of the character "Stephanie Ginger Rogers". ;D
I think my favorite unfamiliar costume, though, was the kid who was wearing a full-body costume for Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.
Later Saturday evening went to wandering around and checking out room parties. Stopping at the release party for the NIWA anthology (more on this in an upcoming post!) was obligatory. But we also stopped at the party for the next Westercon, at which I was amused by the girl who was handing out the drinks. At one point she made us all bright blue shots and called them audience participation shots. She yelled "WARP CORE BREACH!" and we all had to yell "EJECT" in response and chug the shots. This was particularly amusing given the guy on hand who was wearing a Romulan uniform.
Sunday started off nice and strong with a couple of concerts! Dara and I came in on the tail end of the set by Going Viral. When we came in they were singing a song about "Girl Dressed as Slave Leia", which I was prepared to make faces about. But then they did an awesome song that they called a "Choose Your Own Rockventure", including getting a volunteer from the audience to come up and play the part of the admiral of a starship, while the audience had to yell out their choices for what he should do after every verse. That was clever and cool.
Their closer was also hysterical, along the theme of nerddom getting overhyped about movies that aren't even out yet, and people being convinced that they will absolutely hate these movies. They got us all singing along with that, and we laughed because it's so VERY VERY TRUE.
After them came the headlining concert: the PDX Broadsides, who are awesome and highly giggle-worthy. I knew most of the songs they performed, but they also had a couple of new ones. Of those, the best was hands down the one about the Nopetopus. Particular props for rhyming "shown us" and "Patronus" in the chorus. <3
I was delighted to hear that they've released a new album, too, Aim to Misbehave. As you might guess with a title like that, why yes, there are Browncoat-themed songs on this album. Two of them, in fact, including the crowd-pleasing "Nathan Fillion, Please Take Off Your Pants". Those of you who are Browncoats will know instantly what episode of Firefly this song is about. Go! Go buy their album! And tell them I sent you!
Next: Tanya Huff's reading, woo! She gave us a choice of the first chapter of the new book, and an unpublished Vicky Nelson story. The room opted for the latter, which pleased me quite a bit–because I'd been unaware that there were in fact additional short stories in the Vicky Nelson universe. (I think at some point I'd known these stories existed–but if I had, I'd forgotten!) So it was a great pleasure to hear about what's happened to Vicky and Mike since the ending of the series.
Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't read the Vicky Nelson books
The story she read was set 19 years after the end of the books, and Vicky's transformation into a vampire. She and Mike are still in Toronto, and they're still together–but Mike's now pushing sixty, and he's just been injured in the line of duty. While she has to investigate what's happened to him, involving trying to figure out how to vanquish a malevolent djinn, Vicky finds herself confronting her anxieties about Mike growing old and how she'll eventually have to face losing him.
It was a very nice little story, and since it isn't published yet (it's due to come out in a forthcoming anthology), I very much appreciated the chance to hear it!
After she was done, I came up to ask her if I could trouble her to sign the books for Geri, which she was happy to do. (And a bunch of other folks in the audience wanted her to sign stuff, too!) But what really kicked me over the edge of squee was her asking me to save and sign one of my books for her. "YES MA'AM!" I chirped, and promptly scurried off out of the way to let the rest of the folks have their chance to talk to her.
Met up with Dara and headed down to the dealers' room, because I'd already sold at least one copy of Faerie Blood off the NIWA table, and I wanted to make sure that if there were any left, Tanya could have one.
As it happened, she caught up with us shortly after we got to the table. So of course I signed Faerie Blood for her, and she turned down any notion of taking it as a gift, because of course writers need to be able to sell their books. And when Dara and I pointed out the soundtrack CD, she also bought a copy of that!
And then, we just wound up standing there chatting for some time, which was delightful. Since Tanya is a fellow musician and a fellow Great Big Sea fan, we had a great deal we could chat about! Dara is prepared to talk instruments at the drop of a hat, while I will happily gab for hours on the topic of Great Big Sea. I wound up promising that I would in fact send Tanya guitar chords to Great Big Sea songs. And I also had to point out that if she liked Faerie Blood and wanted to proceed on to Bone Walker, that book does start out at a Great Big Sea concert.
Fellow NIWA author and table maven Lee French volunteered to take a pic of us! So she and Dara both took pics of Tanya and me, and Lee was quite amused about how she hadn't ever seen so much squee before. (Lee, I note, has not seen me at Great Big Sea or Le Vent du Nord concerts!) Here are the pics they took! Behold, Internets, the only SF/F authors who have bouzoukis and Newfoundlanders in their stories!
Me and Tanya #1
Eventually, after I shut up long enough for another fan to stop and chat with Tanya, and after Dara and I made sure we weren't keeping Tanya from any other scheduled obligations, we wandered back over to the Book Universe booth so that I could see if they had a copy of the short story collection Blood Bank–with the rest of those Vicky and Mike stories I hadn't read yet! Book Universe did not disappoint! And Tanya signed the rest of their stock for them, too.
(If you're counting, Internets, that means I bought six, count 'em, six different Tanya Huff books this past weekend. Four total for me, counting the one I bought twice, and two for Geri! Because her books are awesome.
If on the off chance you have read my stuff and you haven't read hers–which, I grant, ain't likely given that she's a way bigger name than I am–go! Read her, for freg's sake! She's got epic fantasy AND urban fantasy AND military sci-fi space opera, so your options for what to read by her are many and varied!
And if you love Tanya's titles and you missed her at Orycon, she WILL be the Author GoH at Norwescon next year!
But I digress.)
After we finally parted ways in the dealers' room and I got the rest of the unsold books and the one unsold CD off the NIWA table, Dara went to go retrieve instruments. And I bumped into fellow GBS fangirl Jamie and had a lovely chat with her, too. This was a nice little coda to an overall excellent afternoon, and the last lovely note to a relaxing little convention before we set out for home!
The trip home got us more Doctor Who audio, a decent to-go meal from a burger bar who has really good fries and pretty tasty egg nog milkshakes, and me taking over driving because Dara was sleepy. We made it home safe and quite happy with the weekend as a whole. A+, Orycon, would and probably will attend again!

U.N. Security Council moving fast to impose sanctions on N. Korea: British envoy
All News 05:38 October 05, 2016
NEW YORK, Oct. 4 (Yonhap) -- The U.N. Security Council is "moving fast" to adopt a new sanctions resolution on North Korea for its fifth nuclear test, Britain's U.N. ambassador was quoted as saying Tuesday.
"I think we are moving fast, or at least fast by normal Security Council standards, to impose additional significant measures in light of the continued breaches of the resolutions, and that's progressing," Amb. Matthew Rycroft told reporters, according to the DPA news agency.
The Security Council condemned the North's Sept. 9 nuclear test and pledged to adopt a new sanctions resolution. Officials said the United States and China have been in negotiations to reach agreement on how strong new sanctions should be.
Cooperation from China is key to putting together any meaningful punishment for the North as it is one of the five veto-holding permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and the main provider of food and fuel to the impoverished North.
China, the North's last-remaining major ally, has been reluctant to use its influence over Pyongyang for fear that pushing the regime too hard could result in instability in the North and hurt Chinese national interests.


Here is a financial checklist to refer to when your child turns major.
When your children turn 18, it is no doubt, a major milestone for them as well as you! You would be happy to see your child grow into a young adult. At 18 years, your children become eligible to vote to choose the leaders of our country, to hold a driving license and also become eligible to hold assets in their names independently, without any guardianship.
It is not uncommon for parents to create and hold both physical and financial assets in the name of their minor children. Many parents prefer investing in their child's name so as to earmark it for the financial goals related to the child and register themselves as guardians of those assets.
But what happens to those assets when your child turns 18 years and hence, is legally recognized as a major? Can your child encash/redeem/sell the assets in her name on her own will? Can you claim back the assets in her name? Will you even have any legal right over the assets you have created in your child's name after she becomes a major?
As minors, your children cannot sign any legal papers or carry out financial transactions or enter into contracts or issue third party cheques. When they attain majority, they are eligible to do any of the transactions mentioned above.
Can you withdraw the assets in your minor child's name?
Many parents prefer not to hand over the financial assets to their child and want to withdraw it. As a guardian, you can choose to withdraw those assets before your child becomes a major.
However, any interest received or gains made from a minor's account is added to either of the parent's income and taxed.
If there are any physical assets in the name of a minor child such as real estate, you would need the permission of the court to sell the same.
Can you claim the assets you created in your child's name after she turns major?
No. All financial assets get frozen as soon as your child attains majority. She is eligible to receive all the financial assets in her name, irrespective of the fact that it is acquired by you. If there are any physical assets such as real estate in her name, she can choose to sell it and no permission is required by the court. If any guardianship was registered, it becomes invalid. If your child receives interest or makes gains by selling an asset, she is liable to pay tax on it.
What are the implications if you nominate your minor child to receive your assets?
You are legally allowed to make your minor child as nominee for your assets but a guardian has to be mandatorily appointed. Your child will be eligible to receive the assets only after she attains majority. If there are any other beneficiaries of the asset being referred, they have to wait until the nominee attains majority to claim their share.
What is the process to convert an asset into a minor's name to an individual status?
PAN card is mandatory for any type of financial transactions. If your child doesn't have a PAN, apply for one or if she already has a PAN, apply for reissue of the PAN card with the photo and the signature of your child included.
Since your child is a major now, she would need an ID proof with her recent photograph and signature. You can get her passport updated with the latest photo and address or obtain a driving license with the current address updated.
With a PAN card and ID proof in hand, you can initiate the process to convert assets in a minor's name to that of an individual. However, the process for the same varies for each asset type.
Let us understand the process to convert from minor to major for each asset type.
The bank accounts in your child's name will be frozen once she turns major, and even the guardian is not allowed to operate it.
To convert a minor account to an individual savings account, you have to visit the bank along with your child for in-person verification, along with PAN card and ID proof. Some banks just upgrade the same account and allow you to maintain the same account number and some banks ask your child to open a new account and transfer the funds of the minor account to it.
The bank will obtain specimen signatures of your child on the request form as well as your consent for converting the account to major. She will be eligible to receive chequebooks, make fund transfers and have an independent debit card.
Having an independent bank account is a major step as your child has to furnish the bank account details for accessing other financial assets.
If you have opened an FD or an RD account in the name of your child, the process to convert them into normal FD/RD accounts is similar to that of the bank account.
However, you have to request for removal of guardianship of the account and update your child's bank account number to which the maturity proceeds are to be credited.
To convert MF holdings in a minor child's name to a normal unitholder, the first step you have to undertake is to get KYC done.
1. Copy of PAN attested with signature.
3. Valid address proof such as passport, driving license etc.
Once the KYC is done, you have to submit a request to change the status of MF holdings from minor to major, along with a cancelled cheque of your child's bank account.
A guardian can open a Demat account in the name of a minor and trade securities.
To convert a minor account to an individual one, some firms may ask your child to open a new Demat account and transfer the shares held to the same. The minor account would be closed.
Some firms upgrade the minor account to an individual one but follow the same process as opening a new account.
Your child also has to sign a new agreement with the Depository Participant (DP) such as CDSL or NSDL. You also have to get your child's new bank account linked with the trading account.
If there is a PPF account in your child's name, then to convert it to an individual PPF account, you have to submit your child's photo, PAN copy, address proof and ID proof along with a cancelled cheque and get a fresh passbook issued for the account.
However, the account maturity date will still be the same as that in the minor account.
As parents, we should be clearly aware of the impact of creating assets we hold in our child's name. If you want to create an asset for your own use, it is better to avoid involving minor children in it. Also, when they attain majority, you will have no right to it even though it is acquired by you.
However, if you want to create assets in your child's name and don't mind them taking over once they attain majority, go ahead. But the minor accounts have to compulsorily convert to individual accounts once your children complete 18 years.
As you can observe, the process to change the status of assets from a minor to an individual has to be initiated with an individual PAN card and ID proof in hand. Opening an individual bank account is the next important step.
Armed with these, you can smoothly change the status of the assets held in your minor child's name to individual ones.

Bon Jovi: What About Now
Maddie Cohen, Staff Writer
In 1983, a group of aspiring rock artists came together and created the band Bon Jovi. Since then, the hit group has sold 130 million records worldwide, transforming it into a world wide sensation.
The band features lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi (John Francis Bongiovi, Jr.), guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, and drummer Tico Torres.
While most music groups are loyal to a specific era and style, Bon Jovi appeals to many ages. Young kids are likely to recognize some of Bon Jovi's most famous tracks due to their presence on several movie soundtracks. A few of Bon Jovi's popular songs include "Living on a Prayer," and "Wanted Dead or Alive."
Just when fans of Bon Jovi were beginning to wonder whether the acclaimed band had finally retired from the music industry, the group came out with a twelfth album on March 11.
Titled What About Now, this new album is overwhelmingly encouraging. The first song of the album, "Because We Can," chronicles the journey of a struggling couple who try to save their marriage. This song is similar to many of Bon Jovi's songs as it touches on themes of loyalty, belief, and confidence. The first line, "I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean/I am a rock not just another grain of sand," immediately sets the tone for the song as well as the rest of the album.
The lyrics demonstrate how one can stand out and be unique, and carry the common themes of love, hope, and reliance. The themes are easy to understand and the simple chord progressions make the music of Bon Jovi more emotional than cerebral.
The style of the album is similar to Bon Jovi's previous works featuring the same classic rock that fans of Bon Jovi have come to expect. The tracks on What About Now are heartwarming and traditional. The songs harken back to a bygone era. In one track, "What's Left of Me," Bon Jovi laments the demise of famous punk club CBGB.
The album is rife with nostalgia— likely to a time when his music was more popular—to which he clearly desires to return.
Bon Jovi's newest album is unlikely to impress first time listeners with its classic feel. However, the sounds of What About Now will please his dedicated fans, young and old.

Quakers and the Underground Railroad (March 2018)
Slavery was a part of life in the American colonies – not just here in the South, but also in New Jersey, Rhode Island and New York in the early days.
Slavery was associated with crops which required lots of hand labor – sugar cane, rice, indigo and especially later with cotton. Some skilled slaves were "rented out" by their owners.
One of the earliest Quaker protests against slavery was the Germantown Declaration of 1688. During the 1700's Quakers like John Woolman, Benjamin Lay and Anthony Benezet worked to convince their fellow Quakers of the evil of slavery. By the time of the American Revolution in 1776, you could not belong to the Society of Friends and own slaves.
Before the Civil War, almost half of the Quakers of North Carolina left in the early 1800's to find new homes in the new free states of Ohio and Indiana. They stayed in touch with their relatives back here, and family ties had much to do with the Underground Railroad.
In the 1800's, virtually all Quakers were opposed to slavery. Some were abolitionists, who felt that slaves should be freed immediately whatever the cost, while others were gradualists, who felt that emancipation needed to take place over time.
Some Quakers were involved with efforts to send freed slaves back to Africa and help them re-settle there. Other Quakers worked to teach slaves to read and learn skills and trades.
Helping slaves to escape was illegal, with fines of $1,000 (since the average daily wage was $1, the fine was equivalent to three years of a typical family's income).
Quakers were deeply divided over whether it was right to obey the law, or to obey what they felt was God's "higher law" and help them.
Slaves who managed to escape were assisted by the Underground Railroad, which was a loose and highly secret network which passed the escaping slaves from one "station" to another, often at night.
Allen Jay and his family worked on the Underground Railroad when he was a boy. His Autobiography contains one of the few written accounts of what it was like. Levi Coffin's family was also extremely active on the Underground Railroad. The Mendenhall Plantation in Jamestown was a station, and many of you have seen the wagon with the secret compartment which was filled with escaping slaves.
Compared with the four million people who remained in slavery, the number of slaves who escaped on the Underground Railroad wasn't large; probably less than 100,000 over a 40-year period. But they gave hope to the millions who remained in slavery, and the brutal treatment of slaves who tried to escape helped turn public opinion against slavery.

Carpal Tunnel May Be Genetic Condition
A new medical study suggests that carpal tunnel syndrome may be genetic, rather than cause by repetitive use.
"The idea that CTS is related specifically to typing or overuse of the hands in general is pervasive in modern society," said David Ring, MD, senior author of the study, to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The findings provide important data to human resources directors and could influence treatment options being developed in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
"It is commonly accepted as true, but according to the scientific evidence, the link between hand use and carpal tunnel syndrome is overstated and may be inaccurate. In contrast, there is strong evidence for an inherent, genetic risk for CTS. CTS sufferers are most likely innocent bystanders and should not be blamed for their illness," Ring said.
Patients with CTS experience hand numbness, and eventually develop weakness and atrophy of some of the small hand muscles that control the thumb.
Ring said that carpal tunnel syndrome remains poorly understood. Pressure in the carpal tunnel (a tunnel formed by the small wrist, or carpal, bones and the transverse carpal ligament) is involved in the pathophysiology, and release of the pressure by dividing the transverse carpal ligament stops the process. The cause of the increased pressure, however, remains unknown in the vast majority of patients.
"This application of stringent science to theories of causation may affect claims of disability, workers compensation, and personal injury, Ring said. "It should also influence the information that physicians are providing their patients about carpal tunnel syndrome."


In just two weeks, I went on two long distance car trips with my almost two-year-old daughter. The first trip was 5.5 hours one way, the second around 7 hours (with border crossing). Having long trips in such a small span of time I learned a few tips on how to travel with a toddler by car.
Having a few different activities we could pass back to Baby Girl (BG) helped curb any boredom meltdowns. These activities do not need to be fancy. BG loved 'reading' magazines and would flip through the pages and rip them up. We also gave her a sand bucket and large fish toys and she would shake them around and put them in the bucket and then on her lap.
BG flipping through a magazine in the car. Originally posted on twitter.
Snacks are a must. We made sure we had her favourites on hand – strawberries, crackers and chocolate milk – so she would eat and drink lots. Just be careful you give a balanced assortment with snacks and food on the road. Road trip food is notoriously unhealthy and you do not want any bowel issues. We learned this the hard way when BG got constipated on our second trip.
Kids need to run around so make sure you stop every few hours to change diapers, have potty breaks and let your kids run. Most rest stops now have grassy areas. Bring a small inflatable ball and you can play soccer or pass the ball around for 15 minutes. Just make sure the area is clean before you play.
If you can swing it drive after dinner. Not only will there be less traffic but there is more of a chance your little one will sleep through the whole trip. If you are going to drive at night make sure you are well rested and there is someone that can share the driving with you if needed.
We live in a rural farming community and to go into the city we need to drive almost an hour. BG is used to being in the car for longer periods at a time. As they say 'practice makes perfect'.
Please share your long distance driving tips below.
I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately–we're leaving on a 48 hour drive with our 4 year old and two year old in a few weeks. Yikes.
We live 3.5 hours away from family so our travelling had increaed a lot over the last couple years. Sometime we needs to go there and back in one day. Yuck!. With a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 6 month old, we have made use of all of your tips. We have also made use of stories on tape (or rather, I put them on my tablet and we feed it through our car stereo) and each of the bigger goys gets a special bin with books, coloring, cars, fruit, water, and goldfish. For longer trips we have bought a few new books and toys from a thrift store. That way it isnt a big deal if we lose them along the way. My favorite is to travel while they sleep. Though it doesn't happen often that all 3 are out at the same time and I usually spend most of the trip in the back entertaining the baby and answering questions from my 6 year old. Travelling with littles is a full time job!

Swakopmund & Walvis Bay
Swakopmund is the adrenalin capital of Namibia! The region is home to huge colonies of Cape fur seals and superb resident and migrant birdlife.

Weltwitschia plant, near Swakopmund, Namibia
Swakop, as it's affectionately called by the locals, features on most Namibia itineraries. It's a fun place to unwind for a few days and there really is plenty to do.
Flanked by the rolling Namib dunes on one side and the cold Atlantic Ocean on the other, Swakop is a pretty town, full of German colonial architecture, attractive boutiques, pretty palm-lined streets and quality restaurants.
Thirty kilometres to the south is the fishing port of Walvis Bay. It's an interesting drive down the sometimes foggy coastal road that forms a barrier between the Namib dunes and the Atlantic Ocean. The majority of boat tours operate from Walvis Bay, providing an opportunity to view some of the regions seal colonies and the marine birdlife up close.
Desert adventure: This is the adventure capital with everything on offer from sky diving to quad biking, dune skiing, hot air ballooning, you name it, you can probably do it here.
Water sports: When you've had your fill of sand, take to the water. Enjoy kayaking amongst the seals and birdlife at Pelican Point. Depending on the season you may see dolphins and whales
Boat tours: Catamaran tours are incredibly popular and a great way to see more of the coastline around Walvis Bay. They are educational and fun. Playful seals are usually the star attraction though you may see dolphins too. Birdlife is plentiful, there's always something to see. Top it all off with some oysters and bubbly. Fishing charters can be arranged for keen fishermen.
Food glorious food: Swakop has a great selection of restaurants, there's always fresh fish and seafood on the menu.
Cape Cross: Drive 1.5 hours north of Swakopmund to the Cape Cross Seal Reserve. It's home to a huge colony of Cape fur seals (and it's a bit smelly). Thousands of seals come ashore here and you can get pretty close to them on the raised walkway.
Birding hotspot: Walvis Bay and Swakopmund are important sanctuaries for both resident and migrating birds with over 150 species recorded in the area. It's a hotspot for greater and lesser flamingos. Birding is best between October and April when the visiting migrants are around, the sheer number of birds is impressive.
Ancient Welwitschia plants: A more sedate pastime would be a trip out to look for the endemic weird and wonderful ancient Welwitschia plants. Some of them are estimated to be over 1000 years old.
This is the adrenalin capital of Namibia, also home to huge colonies of Cape fur seals and superb resident and migrant birdlife.

A few of our clients who have come of the mountain in the past few days have talked about the terrible weather currently hitting Kilimanjaro. Bad weather at this time of year is, of course, nothing unusual – it is, after all, the start of the main rainy season and April/May are often difficult times to climb, so the fact that the end of March is also tough is no great surprise. What is surprising is just how bad they are, with snow strecthing down below Horombo and very wet conditions at the bottom. Indeed, one of our guides, Freddie Achedo, was saying that he had never seen such bad conditions – and he has climbed over 320 times!
One of our trekkers, KK Condon, has kindly agreed to allow people to see her photos that she has put onilne.
The photos on this Flickr site don't look too bad – at least until Kibo, when the snow suddenly seems very heavy and covers the entire summit! But suffice to say that it did make trekking a very difficult affair – KK explained that it took the three of them twelve hours to get from Barafu to the summit (it should take about six) – and they believe they were (unsurprisingly) the only people on the summit that day.

In September this year two plucky young Brits will be taking on the challenge of climbing Africa's highest mountain in aid of Brain Tumour Research.
Kelly Jo Hearsey and her friend Mandy Bocker were inspired to climb Kilimanjaro after Kelly's son's classmate, Taylan, died aged 7 from a rare form of brain tumour.
They have set up a justgiving page to help them collect the £7000 they are hoping to raise in sponsorship money. You will also find on this site links to their weblogs, which they are producing for every stage of their preparation and climb.
The address is www.justgiving.com/KellyMandjaro – which is just about the cleverest 'justgiving' webpage title I've seen.
We do of course wish them both well – and will keep you updated on their progress and how they get on when they're actually on the mountain.

I have just received an email from Karen Valenti, 'boss' of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project that fights for the rights and welfare of porters on God's Greatest Mountain.
In the email, Karen, surprisingly for those who know the previous reputation of the company, praises the Moshi-based trekking agency Mauly Tours.
As Karen writes: "I would like for you to know that Mauly has taken major steps to be in compliance with KPAP's guidelines. These include the weighing procedures, [and] use of tipping sheets and salary records in which each of the crew sign for the payments.
This is very good news, particuarly as previously Mauly had been renowned as one of the worst performers when it came to porter welfare. We would like to offer our congratulations to Mauly for the steps they have taken – and to KPAP, of course, for persuading one of the larger operators on Kilimanjaro to improve its treatment of their staff.

At the end of this month Microsoft Africa executives will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with the intention of raising funds for Miracle Corners of the World (MCW). The funds raised by Microsoft employees, partners and customers will be used to help build learning centres in African countries, as part of Microsoft Africa's broader initiative to support educational development on the African continent, giving back to the communities within which it operates.
MCW is a non-profit organization founded in 1999. Its vision is Local Change Through Global Exchange and its mission is to empower youth to become leaders of change. Please visit www.miraclecorners.org to donate to the initiative.
We wish them all the best on the mountain – and will let you know how they get on!

In September of this year Jude Mahoney, along with friends Peter Glenn and Jia Yan Gu, are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for two charities, the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign and Out of Afrika – a charity founded in the UK that works at grass roots level with communities in Kenya to promote education to orphans and disadvantaged children to increase self-sufficiency and long term sustainability. We're looking to raise £15,000 – an ambitious amount by anyone's reckoning – which is why they have begun to advertise their climb 8 months in advance; and wy they've got in touch with us to help them in their fundraising. Which we are of course happy to do so.
We do of course wish them well in their endeavours.

On February 19-26, pulmonary hypertension (PH) specialists and Pulmonary Hypertension Association Scientific Leadership Council members, Drs. Ray Benza and Robert Frantz, along with Jessica Lazar, PA, will know firsthand what it means to be breathless. For in a joint effort to raise global awareness of PH – a condition which occurs physiologically while ascending to high altitude), they will tackle the ultimate challenge – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain!
In addition to raising awareness of pulmonary hypertension, they also hope to raise $100,000 for PH research.
We do, of course, wish them well in their climb – and will hopefully let you know how they get on!
Third Edition of Kilimanjaro guidebook here at last!!
Posted by Henry at 11:48 am, January 25th 2010.
We're delighted (well, relieved more than anything) to be able to annunce that the long-awaited third edition is finally – FINALLY! – here. We received a boxload this morning, and presuably they'll be in the shops ery shortly too.
We do apologise to everyone who's been waiting, particularly those who've written to me wondering where they can get hold of a copy – plus, of course, those who are climbing with us and who hae been (patiently) waiting for their complementary copy too. I will personally be sending those out over the next couple of days. I will also be sorting out the Amazon links (right) so that you can once more buy the book through this website.
Once again, thanks for patience over the past few weeks.
Third edition on its way!!
Posted by Henry at 12:05 pm, January 2nd 2010.
The third edition of our bestselling guide to Kilimanjaro is finally on its way back from the printers and should be in your shops in the next month. I have seen a copy now – so I know it exists! – and it should be in the shops soon.
I notice that Amazon.com (ie the US) are estimating that they will have the book available for sale on Feb 23 but I think they are being a touch pessimistic.
If it's not already on general sale, then perhaps one of the best ways to get hold of a copy is at the Adventure Travel Show at the Royal Horticultural Halls at Victoria, London, 29-31 January 2010.


"Ballston Animal Hospital is hands down the best experience I've ever had with any vet clinic. Dr. Snow and Dr. Collins are so thorough with my aging cat's needs and I appreciate their mindfulness about cost as well. All the staff from the receptionist area to the vet techs to the vets treat my little girl with the utmost respect and consideration. I'm lucky to have such a great team so close to us!"
"Fantastic place - they don't hassle you to buy things you don't need and help you to care for your pet with kindness and a great depth of knowledge. We see Dr. Scher for our dog who has allergies and have only had good experiences here. It's easy to schedule an appointment and get refills. Dr. Scher also keeps up with new developments in veterinary care and the office is always quick to email receipts and vaccination records."
" They fit me in short-notice, held the appointment on time, moved thru the appointment quickly, and I was completely satisfied! My dog was happy while there, and all of the staff were very friendly. Great service!"
" Brought in our new puppy and the Vet spent a full hour with us. Covered every topic imaginable. The staff is great and very kind to all the pets that walk thru their door. "
" Ballston Animal Hospital has been my family's vet for years, and they continue to take great care of all of our pets.

Q: Usar order_by en Django Intento ordenar una lista de post en Django. He leído que hay que usar .order_by('-fecha'). He probado lo siguiente en el template:
{% for post in persona.post_set.all.order_by('-fecha') %}
    {{ post.texto }}

{% endfor %}

Pero me devuelve este error:

Could not parse the remainder: '(-fecha)' from 'persona.post_set.all.order_by(-fecha)'

¿Como podría ordenar los post de forma que el ultimo post que se haya posteado sea el primero?

A: Tienes varias opciones.
Si tiene sentido que los tus posts siempre estén ordenados por fecha, puedes indicarlo en el propio modelo.
class Post(Model):
    # ...
    fecha = DateTimeField(...)

    class Meta:
        # sort by "fecha" in descending order unless
        # overridden in the query with order_by()
        ordering = ['-fecha']

Otra opción es crear una propiedad en el modelo que te permita obtener los posts ordenados:
class Persona(models.Model):
    # ...
    @property
    def sorted_post_set(self):
        return self.post_set.order_by('-fecha')

Otra opción es pasarle al template una lista de posts ya ordenada en lugar de un queryset.
def persona_view(request, persona_id):
    persona = Persona.objects.get(pk=persona_id)
    ordered_posts = persona.post_set.order_by('-fecha')
    context = {'persona': persona, 'ordered_post': ordered_post}
    return render(request, 'myapp/persona_template.html', context)

A: Lo mas fácil es manejar esa parte en el view.py
personas = Persona.objects.all().order_by('-fecha')

y envías el resultado persona a tu template .html para poder iterar
{% for p in personas %}

{{ p.texto }}

{% endfor %}
