Grandpa was always on the move, and once he decided to go, he didn't waste time looking back. This vital part of his character started at an early age.
He was only four when his mother died, and as soon as he was old enough, he left Irwin, Missouri and traveled the world before settling in Kansas City in the early 1920's.
Emerson Moseley worked at the central office of the Postal Telegraph and received market closings from all satellite offices. Night after night he received reports, but one in particular caught his attention because it always closed the same way.
"Ok, good night, God bless you, see you tomorrow, Della Kay." Curiosity got the best of him and he decided to pay her a surprise visit.
Della Kay was a good woman and realized right away that Emerson was a man worth catching. They were married three weeks later against the protests of everyone who knew them. "It will never last," they said, but it did. For 60 years.
Three hundred sixty eight days after the wedding their first and only child arrived. Emerson tried several jobs in town but soon became bored with the routine.
He hit the road and spent most of his life working out of his car. The road was a symbol of life and offered limitless opportunities. He always returned home with a gift or two under his arm, but one particular Christmas surprise would change their lives forever.
"The road was a symbol of life and offered limitless opportunities."
On his arm was a Kitten; not the feline variety, but the woman who would marry his son and give him the granddaughters who would breathe new life into him. That's where I come into the picture. I'm the first-born child of that marriage.
Grandpa became my best friend at a very early age. He taught me to read and write before I went to school and never stopped teaching me. He instilled in me an unquenchable thirst for learning.
Because we were always together, I was quickly dubbed his "little buddy." My sister arrived five years after I did, and things seemed to fit perfectly when she and my grandmother bonded in much the same way.
We enjoyed countless blessings but our lives were also touched by trials. My sister and I both married and brought another generation of grandchildren into their lives.
Grandma suffered a cruel stroke that affected both body and speech, leaving her able to think but unable to communicate. When my father died unexpectedly, we grieved together and pulled closer as a family. My sister and I tried to fill the void in their lives and became even richer for it.
Against Grandma's protests, Grandpa sold the house with its memories, bought an apartment at the best retirement community in town, and auctioned off everything they owned.
The idea of change revitalized him, but every blow of the auctioneer's gavel tore away at my grandmother's heart.
Grandma wilted in the new environment, but Grandpa flourished. He was on new turf, had a lot of exploring to do, and was relieved of the draining task of giving total care to Grandma.
Although he made friends there, he remained devoted to her, and wore the carpet thin through the maze of hallways that connected his apartment to her tiny room.
I called the apartment every morning under the guise of checking on Grandpa, but the truth was that I didn't want to start my day without him.
On Saturdays I would go to Grandpa's apartment with my children, and we would go as a group to visit Grandma. I believed it was my responsibility to help her visualize life outside that pale green room.
Grandpa became quite a hit at the home with the masses of widows confined to the nursing home. They watched with envy when he wheeled Grandma through the halls.
A healthy male in a nursing home is a rarity and caused a lot of whispers among the old ladies when they thought he was out of earshot. Their comments of appreciation always made me smile.
In time, Grandma passed on and we became concerned when he seemed to give up on living. I stood by helplessly and watched this strong man deteriorate until it finally became necessary to move him to the nursing home.
He settled into a tiny little room with only a bed and his recliner. I decorated the room with pictures of the family and my children proudly supplied him with new drawings or schoolwork on a regular basis.
His wardrobe was reduced to three outfits with MOSELEY scrawled on every piece with Magic MarkerTM so no one else would steal them. It broke my heart to see him there, but just as I started trying to prepare myself to live without him, I began to see a change.
On one of our family's weekly visits, I noticed a smiling silver-haired woman waving at him as we walked through the cafeteria. Grandpa nodded as if he were tipping his hat and I was thrilled to see a spark I hadn't seen in months.
"Grandpa nodded as if he were tipping his hat and I was thrilled to see a spark I hadn't seen in months."
"That woman has a crush on me," he said. "Who is she?" I asked as I looked toward her, wondering if she were responsible for the new spring in his step. "Her name is Maude."
We headed out the door for Long John Silver's, his favorite place to eat. We went there every Saturday without fail and each time he would say the same thing.
"This is the best meal I've ever had." "But Grandpa, you said that last week," one of the kids would invariably say.
"I do believe it's even better this week," he'd say with a wink, and of course we all smiled, happy to see him enjoying it. We were getting him back and it was a wonderful feeling.
Grandpa spent Christmas Day with our family at the house and took us all by surprise when he made an announcement. "I'm getting married," he said. "You're what?" I asked, believing he had suffered a mild stroke.
"I'm getting married," he insisted.
"To who?" I asked, testing him.
"To whom," he said. "It's always whom after a preposition."
"Okay, Grandpa, you caught me. To whom?" I asked. "Remember that lady you saw in the cafeteria? We're going to get married."
"Of course I'm sure. I asked her, and she said yes." "When is this going to take place?" I asked. Surely he hadn't thought this through.
"As soon as we can. We don't have much time," he said. For the entire day I humored him, wondering if he would remember any of this tomorrow.
When I took him back to the home, he insisted I meet Maude, so we walked down the hall to her room. She was a charming woman still full of life and I could see in a few short minutes why he wanted to spend what was left of his life with her.
The following Saturday both sides of the family got together and listened to their ideas. Everyone was enlisted with a cause and three weeks later, on January 12 they were married. Grandpa never believed in long engagements, and this time it seemed to make perfect sense.
The months that followed were a learning experience in love. "Now that Maude and I are married, do you think she could go out with us on Saturdays?" "I think we can find a place for her," I said.
Maude was a mover, too. She loved going for rides with us and especially appreciated looking at the trees and the long stretches of land away from the city. It was on these Saturday drives that we grew to truly love this woman who was born way before her time.
I knew these two kindred spirits were meant to be together. For some reason it didn't happen early in life, but it was still just as sweet. Unlike most couples at the home who were dying on the vine, these lovers were blooming.
The newlyweds would sit in the back seat of my car and carry on like teenagers. They sat close together with arms entwined, and occasionally I'd catch a glimpse of them kissing in the rear view mirror. I'd look over my shoulder and pretend to scold them.
"Am I going to have to take you two back to the apartment?" I asked. The teasing just encouraged more kissing. They were living proof that we're never too old to find love and never too old to give it. It was a beautiful lesson for all those who witnessed it.
The morning phone calls continued and Maude brought a new flavor to the conversation. "What are you doing this morning, Maude?" I asked. "We're just sitting here making love," she replied. I was stunned.
Were they really making love? When she told me the same thing every time I called, I decided that for the two of them, making love was just the act of being together. Sharing themselves with each other. A spiritual bonding.
"The Months that Followed were a Joy for all of us and we Hoped They Would be Able to Celebrate Many Years Together."
The months that followed were a joy for all of us and we hoped they would be able to celebrate many years together. One morning in November, though, Grandpa suffered a stroke and for the next four months he lived in a world where we couldn't reach him. Grandpa spent their first anniversary in a hospital bed. Maude was heartbroken. So was I.
My weekly visits became difficult when he could no longer participate. I didn't give up, only because I hoped somehow he did know I was there, even if he couldn't respond.
I desperately missed our daily talks and his loving encouragement. I missed his humor and curiosity about life. I even missed having him correct my grammar! I prayed for miracles to restore his health but it wasn't to be. God had other plans for this gentle spirit.
On our final Saturday together, after spending an hour delivering my monologue about unimportant daily activities, I tried one last time for some sign of recognition before walking out the door.
"Grandpa, do you know who I am?" Please, Grandpa, tell me who I am. His body slumped against the strap holding him in the wheelchair. I watched him strain to raise his head, but it was too heavy. With no other choice, he touched me the only way he could, with eyes that saw right through me. "Of course I know who you are.
You're my little buddy." I held him in my arms and felt the hot tears running down my cheeks. Nothing could have meant more to me; no other words could have been sweeter. I had my answer and it was time to let him go. From that point forward I prayed for his spirit to be released from his tired, old body.
On Monday, the doctors told us he only had a few days left. I signed donor cards for his eyes because that's what Grandpa had told me to do. I hoped that whoever received them would see the world in the same beautiful way he did.
Tuesday, I brought my children to his side to say good-bye. Wednesday morning, I planned to visit him mid-day but got the distinct impression that I should go early. I'll always be grateful I followed that prompting. I sat by his side, stroking his hand and feeling helpless until Maude arrived. Maude was a nurse and recognized the signs of death right away. We held his hands and shared our love with this gentle man who had made such an impression on our lives.
When finally he exhaled the last bit of air his lungs would hold, I stood there silently for a moment before going to get the nurse. I wanted to savor the look of peace on his face before the nurses came in to make their final preparations.
"You might as well bury me in the casket with him," Maude cried. "I don't want to go on without him." I knew exactly how she felt. There would never be another quite like him.
When they covered him with the sheet, I took Maude back to her room. We laughed and cried as we reminisced about the time we shared with him. I drove home in a stupor and spent the afternoon feeling my loss. When my children arrived home from school and saw me there, they knew the end had come and joined me in my grief.
On Friday we cried again with family and friends as the minister delivered the eulogy we prepared. Instead of mourning our loss we celebrated his life. We buried him next to Grandma - not in the quiet spot under the large Maple tree, but right up against the busy road traveled by thousands of active people every day. He picked the spot. He said he wanted to hear the roar of traffic passing by. As long as there was a road, there was someplace else to go.

Q: Does this PWM driver require additional protection to the MOSFETs? I have designed a circuit to run a 555 as an astable multivibrator. The values for the oscillator are a 4.7 uF capacitor, a 1k resistor, and a 10k potentiometer. For the capacitor I will use an electrolytic cap, so the value is not exact. This should give an oscillation frequency of no more than 500 Hz maximum, with a duty cycle between 50% and 99%.
The intent of this is to use it to control N-channel MOSFETs for PWM-ing brushed motors. The motors are vacuum cleaner motors, up to 12 amps each. The MOSFETs I have are IRFP460A. I'll need to use rectified mains to do this. This circuit should be testable with a lower voltage, although I'll need to use a dummy load.
The circuit also includes a bridge rectifier constructed from 1N4007s and a 7812 regulator. This will be driven from a small transformer with an output voltage of 20 VAC. This gives a voltage to run the 555, as well as control the gates of the MOSFETs. Since the 555 is operating from +12 VDC, there should be no need for a level shifter. The 555 is not directly operating the gates, I have a 2N3904 that is used to amplify the output of the 555.
Each MOSFET has a 1000 ohm pull down resistor between its gate and source. The gate is driven via a 10 ohm resistor. This means that turn on should be relatively fast but turn off is not as rapid. I don't think this is an issue below 500 Hz. If I have a 99% duty cycle at 500 Hz, the 555 should still be off for 20 microseconds.
Here is my schematic and the circuit board I've designed

There are a number of additional headers on this board, I may use them in the future to take +VDC power from the board.
Here is a quick listing of the parts

*

*D1-D4 - 1n4007

*LED1 - A Red LED

*R1, R12, R5, R6, R7, R10 - 1000 ohm resistors

*R3 - 3.3k ohm, used to drive the base of Q1

*Q1 - 2n3904

*C1 - Any electrolytic cap I can find to filter the DC from the rectifier

*C4 - 10 pF

*C5 - 4.7 uF

*R2 - 10k potentiometer

*All four MOSFETs are IRFP460

*C1, C2 - 0.1 uF capacitors

*C6 - unsure as to the value

Here are my questions with this circuit:

*

*I moved all the MOSFETs down on the board. Does this help or make the problem of EMF from gate charging? C6 is located down near the MOSFETS, can I size it appropriately to filter out any transients from the gates charging?

*Is there anything I can add to protect the MOSFETs from voltage spikes from brushed motors? Is this even necessary?

There's always that fateful day each year, usually in February or March, when ballet contracts are renewed. Dancers file into an office one by one, grab an envelope and sign their name on a nearby sheet of paper to signify the receipt of their fate. Inside that envelope is a contract for next season or a letter stating that their artistic contribution will no longer be needed. This yearly ritual is filled with anxiety and is usually followed by either celebratory frolicking or resumé writing.
Whenever I received my contract, I would throw up my hands joyfully knowing that I would get to spend one more year dancing. In 14 years at Boston Ballet, I never once looked at my pay rate when signing a contract. The thought of assessing my work through my salary never crossed my mind.
Contract renewals are rarely delivered in personal meetings at ballet companies. Photo by StockSnap.

From their first moments in the studio, female ballet dancers are taught to hold themselves upright and control each movement of their body with intense precision. Yet in partnering, these rules of independent practice are challenged. Sasha Janes, Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music faculty member and partnering coach, offers some tips for how female dancers can navigate this change in approach.
But this path comes with extra challenges. The university you choose can make all the difference. So how do you find the right program?
Entering the corps de ballet can be a shock for recent graduates: What's needed by your company is suddenly much different from what helped you succeed as a student. Dance Magazine recently spent a day with some corps members from Boston Ballet, so we asked a few of the dancers for their top tips for success.
Even before I began my 14th season with Boston Ballet last fall, I knew I wanted it to be my last. I had taken the summer layoff to analyze my career, weighing my casting heartaches with my performance successes. I noticed that as I watched my colleagues dance, I felt more inclined to spend time encouraging their artistic success than fighting for my own. Plus, the timing would be cinematically perfect: The Sleeping Beauty was the very first ballet I performed as a child in 1991, and it will be the last full-length of Boston Ballet's season in May 2017.
I kept this decision a secret until my director called me in last September to inform me that he also thought this would be a good time to retire. I left his office unsure of whether I had finally communicated my feelings or just received notice that my career should end. Still, more relieved than sad, I now had the date of my final performance.
The term "stage parent" carries some seriously bad energy in the dance world. We think of parents aggressively fighting for their children to get cast first, perform more and constantly be in the front of the studio.
A stage mom or dad can become so involved in their child's career that they develop a symbiotic state of nervousness and desire for perfection in every step.
But having a stage parent isn't all bad. There are major benefits to having your own cheerleader. In the competitive dance world, a loving, informed friend who is perpetually on your side is hard to come by and even harder to count on.
Some stage parents are the best: Daniil and Dmitrij Simkin.
When the relationship works, the child finds success doing what he or she truly loves to do as the proud parent looks on with genuine support. But when it doesn't, unexpressed emotions will lead to a massive level of resentment.
-Check in with your son or daughter and make sure they love what they are doing before you push them to do more of it.
-Give them space to learn for themselves. Mistakes make us all grow. You will probably be right in the end (parents often are) but give them room to figure that out for themselves.
-If your child discovers dance is not for them, but they have chosen to participate in a show or signed up for a certain number of classes, discuss the value of following through with their commitments.
-Once they have a job and are of age to do so, let them live on their own. When a child begins intensely training for a dance career, it is hard to develop the social skills necessary to make lasting friendships, especially if their parent is such a powerful lifeline. You can still be there for them, but they need peers to thrive.
-If you have sound advice to give, share it—but do so realizing that you are their parent and not their teacher, partner or artistic director. They know what life is like in the studio every day; you do not.
-Encourage your dancer to be as well-rounded as possible. A full life leads to fuller dancing, not to mention providing a necessary back-up plan.
-Know that with every step they take, you are the source of their beautiful life. Also know that the more you experience your own life, the more you will have to talk about together.
-Frequently assess whether or not you love what you do. If the only times you think about dancing are when you are in the studio or theater, it's possible that a career in the field is just not right for you.
-Be honest with your feelings. If you're no longer passionate about dancing, sit down to talk about it with your parents. Listen to their response and be honest and true to your feelings.
-Do not send your parents in to fight your battles for you with your director. Not only are you missing a valuable learning opportunity, but you are developing a dependency that could prove to be detrimental later on.
-Tell your parents you are grateful for the sacrifices they made for your career. Don't let your dancing represent your thanks. Speaking your thanks will free your dancing to exist on its own.
-As you get older, seek out the space you need to grow. These conversations are always hard. Perhaps you need to take a break from constant communication or limit the scope of information you share. Make time to talk about your parent's life, and keep your work to yourself for a while.
-Remember that love is behind every push and shove, and that parental love will always be there no matter what.
Every dancer's career comes with disappointments. Maybe you're not getting cast in the roles you crave. Maybe you realize the promotion you're dreaming of will never come. Maybe you simply don't feel like you're living up to your potential.
But there has to be some balance to our labor of love. How can you know if you're just in a slump, or if it's time to change companies? How do you know if the negatives are outweighing the positives? Here are seven signs that you should possibly consider looking for a new dance job.
1. You're no longer receiving corrections or feedback on your performances. Every artist—in every field—needs feedback to progress. If you're not being pushed, or the artistic staff isn't responding to questions about your personal performance, there might be a bigger problem.
2. Your rank is ruining your relationship with dance. Are all your peers soaring ahead of you? If you know you are truly working your hardest and still feel like you're getting left behind, you might not be in the right environment. A different company could be a better fit for your strengths.
3. Extracurricular projects no longer fill the casting void. Sometimes when our dance career is in a slow phase, we can fill our time with outside projects like guestings, choreography, workshops, teaching, taking extra classes, etc. But if these activities aren't enough to satisfy you artistically or help you grow, you might need a bigger change than just another new side gig.
4. You can't talk to artistic staff. There are communication failings in every industry, but you shouldn't feel like you are constantly at odds with an "us verses them" mentality. Dancers need to be able to raise concerns about their needs, physical pains and career goals in a safe and empathetic environment.
5. You can't be your healthiest physical self. Every company has its own dynamic when it comes to unspoken expectations for physical health and well-being. You know your body better than anyone—it's your instrument. If your current company is demanding more than you can physically offer, find one that will provide you with the tools you need to create your longest, healthiest career possible.
6. You no longer believe in the artistic direction of the company. Every company goes through changes in artistic vision, whether it's due to finances, artistic leadership or societal influences. Find out the planned repertoire for next season and figure out how your dancing fits into that vision. If you feel like it's no longer a good match for you, don't stay just out of complacency.
7. You realize there is no clear path forward. Artistic leaders are not mind readers. Carve out appropriate opportunities to share your career goals with your director. Assess whether or not your vision for yourself aligns with theirs. Your director should be able to articulate their plan for your career's trajectory. Ask what you can work on to improve and never turn down an opportunity to learn a role that will stretch you artistically. But if your director doesn't see your career headed in the direction you want, take the reins into your own hands.
Ballet and scoliosis might seem incompatible. But Boston Ballet principal Anaïs Chalendard, who was diagnosed with severe scoliosis at age 14, says this is a misconception: "Quality strength comes from ballet," she argues. "The doctors were so amazed at the way ballet was such a good balance of work and freedom."
Instead of undergoing surgery as a teenager, she chose to spend 22 hours a day in a full torso brace for five years, just so that she could spend two hours a day dancing at Roland Petit's Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Danse in Marseille. "Ballet was my therapy," she says. "Scoliosis also influenced my way of dancing because, in ballet, I felt so free."
During those years, Chalendard regularly trained in the Mézières Method for breathing and posture. Practitioners hold a series of precise postures while segments of the body are mobilized into alignment. Tight muscle chains are stretched to allow for the greater strengthening of the core and leg muscles. The approach helped Chalendard learn how to relax the muscles around her rib cage, allowing her body to adapt to her unique spinal structure.
Although she was unable to find a Mézières practitioner in the U.S., she still incorporates Mézières principles into her dancing today. She also practices Pilates daily. The emphasis on deep lateral breathing while mobilizing the spine and rib cage has improved her spinal strength, and helps her find her center of balance more easily.
Every day, her center is in a different place. Finding it is crucial for avoiding spasms. She assesses her spine before she even gets out of bed in the morning, but most important is warming up properly at barre. "If I don't have enough port de bras and balances at the barre, it's fatal," she says.
Yet Chalendard insists that scoliosis is not a restriction. "Scoliosis is something I need to be aware of, but thinking about it constantly is not a solution," she says. "I actually ignore it on purpose. Yes, it affects me, but it is also a choice to let it be a part of me. All dancers have a way of working around their limits—that is what makes your movement unique."
Keep your body strong through pregnancy for a faster recovery.
During the first weeks of Boston Ballet's 2014–15 season, I began preparing for the most challenging role I could imagine: I was going to be a mother. To stay in the best shape possible, I took class every day, working on all the elements of technique that my changing silhouette would allow (mainly, footwork and port de bras), and kept up a schedule of low-intensity cardio. Even on the day I went into labor, I gave myself a barre in the kitchen and did 30 minutes on the elliptical.
There was a time in the ballet world when pregnancy and dance were mutually exclusive, one virtually mandating the absence of the other. That day is gone. The understanding of the dancer body is evolving, careers are getting longer and audiences and dancers alike now appreciate the artistry that develops through the process of motherhood.
But it's not easy. "Pregnancy is a time of tremendous anatomic and physiologic changes," says Dr. Bridget Quinn, one of the physicians on Boston Ballet's medical team. Your ligaments get looser. Your center of gravity changes. You become short of breath more easily. Your body needs more nutrients and requires more rest after physical activity. It's a lot for a dancer. But with diligent training, you can prepare for both a healthy labor and a quick recovery.
"Dancers are so used to pushing through physical issues like fatigue and pain, but pregnancy is a time to listen to your body," says Heather Southwick, director of physical therapy at Boston Ballet. She suggests pregnant dancers take up swimming for its low-impact cardiovascular benefits and its ability to increase circulation, muscle tone and endurance. She also tells dancers to practice ballet steps in the weightless pool environment. On drier ground, she recommends side-lying exercises to work hip abduction and gluteal strength, allowing for greater hip stability during recovery.
As the weight of the baby shifts your postural alignment, the spine can begin to sway painfully. For this reason, Marika Molnar, director of physical therapy for New York City Ballet, suggests practicing prenatal Pilates to help maintain proper spinal alignment and pelvic placement.
Mostly, dancers need to be aware of what their changing bodies can handle. I was told I could largely keep my pre-pregnancy routine as long as I was working within my limits. As I took class, I remained mindful of my shifting center of balance, my turns gradually became relevés and I stopped jumping after 20 weeks as directed by my PT. I also drastically slowed the pace of cardio workouts, and made sure to stretch my hip flexors and psoas to maintain flexibility and take pressure off my lower back.
After the baby is delivered, Southwick suggests dancers pay extra attention to the muscles in their pelvic floor. These muscles, important for balance, stability and continence, undergo significant stress during the carrying and delivery of a baby—the area can become weak and stretched as early as 12 weeks into your pregnancy. Prolonged contractions of these muscles as well as quick pulses while sitting or walking will help strengthen them. I made a point to do at least 10 quick and 10 slow pelvic contractions every breastfeeding session—this paced out the work and ensured consistent daily improvement.
While traditional core work is discouraged for the first six weeks postpartum, the knitting together of the abdominals can begin almost immediately following most pregnancies. Starting three weeks after my labor, I began each morning by doing a modified Pilates 100s while lying flat on my back, with my feet, legs and head on the floor. I used only my breath to engage my abs as they gradually regained their ability to function. By the time my son was six months old, they felt stronger than ever before.
Today, I also feel like I am a better dancer than ever before. It took me three months to recover to full rehearsal duty at Boston Ballet, and after two more, I was back onstage as our season opened, feeling so excited to perform. Having my son has given me a fuller arsenal of life experience to draw from, plus a new awareness of the physical work involved in making a ballet body.
A focus on strengthening the shoulder girdle (the muscles between your shoulder blades) is paramount for preparing the body for the not-so-balletic postures of breastfeeding. As I began walking on the treadmill during my recovery, I would engage my traps and parascapular muscles by doing a five-minute series of arm and back exercises—it not only improved my posture but kept me entertained on the treadmill.
Tip: Marika Molnar also suggests adapting your breastfeeding posture by supporting your arms with pillows, for example, to improve your upper-body placement.

Below are independent comments from 110 of our travellers who have visited Chongwe River Camp, and have kindly agreed to share their thoughts.
An excellent camp with very friendly management and staff. Good food and range of excellent activities - drives, canoe, walking safari and hide. Elephants were frequent visitors to the camp and around our tent.
It can take some time to drive into the National Park (at least about 30 minutes depending on where the Chongwe River can be crossed), however, the route to the park along the riverside is interesting for birds and water fowl. On one occasion we returned to the camp from the Park by boat across the Chongwe which took only minutes.
Excellent general guiding from Sam: highlight, one evening, was seeing two leopards with an impala kill being dispossessed by hyenas. Excellent walking safari with Bright, especially learning about the life of termites and some of the history of the park.
We loved the location of this camp, right on the river! The tents were spacious and very well maintained. We loved the bathroom. We had so much activity right outside our tent and around camp! Elephants daily sweeping up "elephant biscuits" all over camp, poking their trunks around the tent was really fun! Listening to the sounds of hippos, leopards, lions, and hyenas at night was wonderful. Friendly camp staff always trying to surprise us!
We didn't get to fully connect with our guide but enjoyed most all of our activities!
We had a one-night stay here before flying home, and the highlight was an afternoon canoe trip followed by a night drive on which we saw 2 leopards. The next morning our guide took one of us on a short walk before going to the airport.
As we commented previously, their flexibility and willingness to accommodate everyone's requests was greatly appreciated.
5th time at Chongwe RC, and I will return!!
We especially enjoyed the boating and canoeing activities at Chongwe.
The camp is very comfortable, and staff was very friendly and helpful. We were surprised with a bush lunch along the river one day.
We had 2 guides here, Stephen and Bright, and they were both excellent. We particularly appreciated their awareness of photographer's needs, always working to position us properly and giving warning when they expected a good photographic opportunity to develop.
Activities at Chongwe seemed to be very flexible, with enough guides that they were able to accommodate every guest's wishes. We arrived late afternoon yet they were able to take us on a short sunset river cruise. When we canoed the next day we had 2 guides for the 2 of us so we each had our own canoe.
We knew this camp was further from the park than those we stayed in at South Luangwa but we had not appreciated how much difference this would make. The game drives were long and often very lacking in game, it sometimes seemed more like a race to each radio sighting. However the camp itself does promote it's river based activities more than the drives.
It is a very friendly and relaxed camp in a beautiful setting, the tented chalet was very warm and comfortable with a private seating area. Elephant and hippo are frequent visitors to the camp day and night but staff are always on hand to keep guests safe.
The food in camp was really good with plenty vegetarian choice. The only issue we had with the catering was the 'bush bbq' which was not a success.
Fantastic location, very warm friendly staff.
Beautiful camp. Albida suite is fantastic - incredible views up the Chongwe and Zambezi and so much space. The plunge pool is lovely. Michael our 'butler' looked after us very well but was not at all intrusive. Breakfast omlettes cooked on the camp fire were the perfect start to the day. My wife was ill one day and the camp managers were very solicitous.
The 'elephant in the room' tales on a new meaning when there is actually an elephant in your room. That was very exciting but I think the camp could probably have been clearer about the likelihood of that happening and what we should do when it did. My daughter nearly got caught sitting on her own by the river when the elephant appeared - only a last second warning from Michael enabled to her scramble back to the relative safety of the dining area.
Clement our guide was very good - both in a jeep and on the water.
The boat trips are great and the canoeing was a definite 'life highlight'.
Game in the National Park did sometimes seem a bit thin on the ground - though overall we were more than satisfied with what we saw.
We had stomach upsets in both Norman Carr camps we went to having never previously had a problem in 4 previous safaris in other countries. So we do wonder if their food hygiene is fully up to standard.

10 September 2020 – today's press release
By Mark Valladares | Thu 10th September 2020 - 10:30 pm
Follow @honladymark
PM must stop playing fast and loose with rule of law
Responding to the statement by the European Commission confirming that, if adopted as it stands, the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill would "put at risk the ongoing future relationship negotiations", Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Christine Jardine said:
No one can really be surprised that the measures the UK Government have brought forward have put the likelihood of a trade deal in jeopardy.
This proposal undermines trust and the UK's standing on the world stage. The Government must now act swiftly to erase anything that violates international law or that could undermine the Good Friday Agreement.
For the sake of the future of our country the Government must stop playing fast and loose with the rule of law.

I don't see how Boris Johnson can go on negotiating with the EU. He has already shown himself as a man with no integrity. Why would Brussels trust him to negotiate. He has seriously damaged our countries reputation in the eyes of the world. I think he should resign or get the sack in order to restore Britain's reputation in the world.
Peter Hirst 11th Sep '20 - 12:06pm
This is what happens when an ideological policy is pursued at the expense of everything else. It's a bit like falling in love with and pursuing someone who it is obvious to everyone else you have no chance of having a relationship with. I don't think our PM listens to anyone except his own thoughts.

Surely we do not judge the strength of a democracy by the people that voters choose to elect or the policies being proposed by successful candidates.......

Q: Requirements for linear function of gamma distribution If X is a gamma distribution, and Y = aX + b. What are the requirements for a and b for Y to be exponential?  I suppose a must be greater than 0, and b must be zero?

A: If $X \sim Gamma(\lambda, \theta)$, then p.d.f. of $X$ is
$$
f_X(x) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(\lambda)\theta^\lambda}x^{\lambda-1}e^{-\frac{x}{\theta}}.
$$
$Y = aX + b \sim f_Y(y) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(\lambda)\theta^\lambda}(\frac{y-b}{a})^{\lambda-1}e^{-\frac{y-b}{a\theta}}.$
The latter is a p.d.f. of exponential distribution only if
$$
\lambda = 1\text{ and }b = 0 \Rightarrow
$$
$$
f_Y(y) = \frac{1}{a\theta}e^{-\frac{y}{a\theta}},
$$
which is a p.d.f. of exponential distribution $Exp(a\theta).$
$$
a \text{ must be } > 0.
$$
But, if $\lambda = 1$, it means that $X$ is also exponential:
$$
Gamma(\lambda = 1, \theta) = Exp(\theta).
$$

If it ain't broke, don't fix it: wise advise, which French director Xavier Legrand has clearly taken to heart in putting together his supremely accomplished feature debut, Custody (original title, Jusqu'à la garde), about a child trapped in the middle of a custody battle. Using the playbook for suspense written by Hitchcock and the like years before, Legrand builds tension, slowly turning the screw until we can't take any more and things get more serious than we had even imagined.
The sense of menacing unease begins from the very start as the separated couple attend a custody hearing. The mother, Miriam (Léa Drucker), washed out, clearly exhausted from similar drawn-out legal battles in similar cold, grey rooms, stares ahead vacantly as the lawyers trawl through balance sheets, medical records and her son's written statement about his supposedly aggressive father, Antoine.
Played by an imposing Denis Ménochet, Antoine is, of course, the picture of meekness and humility here and manages to win time with the 11-year old Julien (Thomas Gioria) on the weekends, despite the less than glowing reports, including an accusation that he once severely injured his daughter, Joséphine (Mathilde Auneveux), who's about to turn 18.
We spend the rest of the film weighing up Antoine's character against this intense opening scene and the character assessment, watching for any indication of whether the man is a victim of petty plotting by an embittered ex-wife or is, in fact, unfit as a father.
It puts us on edge and in the shoes of the child, Julien, who tries his best to keep the couple from ever meeting or speaking. At first, it just looks like the preference of a mummy's boy but, as the scales tip and the dark family dynamic begins to reveal itself, the necessary vigilance of someone all too used to his father's patterns of aggression.
Trying to force his way back into the family, Antoine starts to become a dark presence even in his absence. One striking scene is an extended long shot at the daughter's eighteenth birthday party where a text stops Joséphine in her tracks. As the music pumps in the background, all we have to go on is the sight of the exchanged looks and whispers, but we know exactly what's going on and who's turned up uninvited. Like Joséphine, mirroring her mother's earlier blank stare of stress/distress for the rest of the night as if glimpsing the film's (potentially) horrific conclusion, we are gripped by anxiety.
Custody is essentially a fleshing-out of Legrand's 2013 Oscar-nominated short Just Before Losing Everything. It adds roughly an hour of material to that film but, apart from some slightly unnecessary intrigue about whether Joséphine is really a wild child or not, very little of that goes to waste. Told with real economy, subtlety and sensitivity, Custody displays a new director very much in control and a dab hand at showing how badly other people can lose it.

Chiropractors are typically more focused on taking care of their patients than collecting money. And, since most business owners are willing to give customers the benefit of the doubt, they often find themselves in the precarious position of spending additional resources trying to collect what they have already earned. Positive cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. In most cases, insufficient collections efforts are the beginning of a company's cash flow constraints.
Know when to escalate the matter.
According to Sallee, Money earned today is more valuable than money earned in the future because it is available sooner to be invested. So by putting off efforts to collect from a customer who doesn't pay, you are essentially giving them a free loan. Given that no entity is making you a free loan, the urgent need for collections should be all the more clear.

Q: Why do I see duplicate warnings in Eclipse/ADT for the same code line? I'm surprised to see duplicate "Android Lint Warnings" for the following code fragment:
122 String contactName = contact.getName();
123 name += contactName.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase();

-> Implicitly using the default local is common source of bugs: Use toUpperCase(Locale) instead; Contact.java; line 123
-> Implicitly using the default local is common source of bugs: Use toUpperCase(Locale) instead; Contact.java; line 123

I know how to fix this, but I'm still surprised to see the same warning twice.
Anybody ideas/suggestions, or is this an Android_Lint_Warning-issue?
My development setup: iMac, ADT/Eclipse Build: v22.2.1-833290

A: Found the solution, i.e. if you use the following code snippet you only get one warning:
122 String contactName = contact.getName();
123 name = name + contactName.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase();

-> Implicitly using the default local is common source of bugs: Use toUpperCase(Locale) instead; Contact.java; line 123

Also if you're using something like:
123 name = contactName.isEmpty() ? "-" : contactName.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase();

you'll get the same two warnings as mentioned before !?!
Probably has to do with building/parsing the expression tree IMHO.

One of the most challenging parts of being a commercial photographer is the estimate. It such an essential skill that has taken me years to get figured out (and I still make improvements every time I do one). One of my biggest stumbling blocks was the Usage Language. Usage is how you assign your creative fee. The more usage, the more it costs. But there are so many ways to describe the same types of usage. And so many different photographers and reps use different variations of Usage Language that I imagine it's it's hard for a buyer/client to compare one estimate from another.

Located in a quiet corner of rural Tuscany an hour from Florence and Pisa by car, Hotel La Tabaccia is easily reached from both city's international airports.
Tuscany is rightly championed as one of the world's finest centers for art, cuisine and wine, but it's also famous for birthing the Toscano, Italy's iconic cigar. Characterized by a simple band, the cigars are fermented to give them an unmistakable, rich aroma. The site of Hotel La Tabaccia played a big part in the process, acting as a site for drying the cigars before production moved on and the site found itself without a use.
The original structure of the factory is retained, but underneath a wealth of changes have taken place. 31-rooms are located within, each distinctly Tuscan in design with restored oak wood beams and tiled ceilings. Guests can expect amenities like WiFi Internet, flat-screen TVs, minibars and air conditioning. The bathrooms are spacious and all feature a rainforest shower.
Relaxation tends to come easy amid the rolling hills of Tuscany, and Hotel La Tabaccia helps things along with the presence of a dedicated spa and wellness area, Le Piscine. Here guests can enjoy a slew of massage and beauty treatments, a sauna and a small gym. If the weather is agreeable (and in Tuscany, it usually is) take to the large outdoor pool and catch some rays.
Send an availability request with your requested dates to the Hotel La Tabaccaia.

Scientists say they've discovered Washington state's first dinosaur fossil. The announcement marks a unique find for the state. Its a rare moment for North America's Pacific coast.
Paleontologists at Seattle's Burke Museum said that the bone fragment is 80 million years old. It probably belonged to an older, smaller cousin of the Tyrannosaurus rex.
The bone fragment was uncovered at Sucia Island State Park. That is on the San Juan Islands. It comes from the late Cretaceous period. The findings were detailed online in the science journal PLOS ONE.
Scientists haven't been able to identify what specific dinosaur the fossil comes from. It's just a fragment. But they're certain it belonged to a theropod. That's a group of two-legged carnivores.
The creature probably died on land. Then it likely washed out to sea. There, it took a beating, scientists say. The fragment was the only fossil uncovered at the site.
"This fossil won't win a beauty contest," Christian Sidor said in a statement. He is the Burke paleontologist who co-wrote the journal article. "But fortunately it preserves enough anatomy that we were able to compare it to other dinosaurs and be confident of its identification."
This is pretty interesting, considering that it is 2015 and Washington still hasn't had their first dinosaur bone until now. That's pretty impossible, having all those years and still no dino bones.
I like that washington finally gets its own fossil I'm surprised they found one because they are so rare. For the CTC I think its hard because the shifted a lot over the last millions of years.
That's cool that Washington state finally got a dinosaur. The reason that there are not many dinosaurs in the area is because it is theorized that it was probably underwater.
According to sources from scientists, they have recently discovered the first dinosaur fossil every to be discovered in Washington State. For the pacific coast in Northern America, this is a very big deal. According to the scientists, the bone fragment that they found was about 80 million years old. They think that the bone was from an ancestor of the tyrannosaurus Rex. Scientists have been unable to determine which dinosaur they bone comes from.
This is a very interesting article, scientists have uncovered the first dinosaur bone ever to be found in Washington State. The bone is said to have been about 80 million years old.
The first dinosaur bone ever found was recently discoverd in Washington. Dinosaur bones arn't usually found in this area because of is climate. Scientists think this area used to be underwater so thats why the fossil was found. It was found three years ago and scientists have been studying it ever since. They do not kow what animal it is from but they think it was a cousin from the T-rex and that the bone came from a three foot high thigh bone, it is nearly seventeen inches long and nine inches wide it is about eighty million years old. Tho fossilwas probably washed out to sea and that was where it was found on site at Sucia Island State Park in the San Juan Islands. Curetnly it is at Seattle's Burke Museum. It is the secnd bone found in this area tho other is sixteen thounsand year old mammoth tusk found at a Seattle construction site. This si an important find and will hopefully lead to many others.
I think it is very interesting that they found the fossil here, we learn that fisssols are found mostly in areas that were once covered in water. My dad has a tusk from a mammoth that was found on a construction sit eso this article was interesting to. This is an important discovery in science that will hopefully lead to other discoveries.
I think this article is is cool because discoveries are good and important to us, and it is good for the education and the way you can find different things about it that can lead you to a good direction.
80 million years old! It still continues to amaze me that dinosaurs lived so long ago. I think that this is an awesome accomplishment for Washington, and so is the 16,000 year old mammoth tusk found at a construction site!
There are so many dinosaurs, it was crazy! From the velociraptor, to the giagantiraptor, the ever popular T.rex, and countless others! Speaking of the Tyrannosaurus rex, did you know this titan of the Dino world was not the biggest? Compared to some, even tiny! Out of all of the carnivorous two legged dinosaurs, the T.rex was 3rd largest. The other two go in this order; the gigantisauras, an almighty predator who stands about 49 feet long, and the fear of fish, the Spinosauras, an aquatic monster of 50 feet long! Well, that explains why no dinosaurs evolved to fish in these areas. And if they did, they all most likely went running to their dens.
It is a really cool discovery that they found a real live dinosaur fossil. It was Washington State's first dinosaur fossil. The fossil was preserved for 80 million years. Since the scientists theorize that the land was uninhabited unless it was underwater, then it might have been above water. The dinosaur must have been small because the bone fragment was a three foot thigh bone. The scientists have done three years worth of research so they must have found out a lot of information. I think that is was a rare and amazing discovery of the dinosaur's three foot thigh bone.
