Past participants have come as Harvey girls, shifty-eyed snake oil salesmen, rugged mountain men, military soldiers, cowboys, lawmen, and pioneers.
This contest is not just about sharing your costume with others; it's also about the story you tell of how you made it, what was funny, difficult, inspiring about making it, and any other anecdotes that may bring a smile to our faces. So make sure to invest as much energy and creativity in your storytelling as you do in creating your costume!
There's a gold rush going on at Furnace Creek! All you need is a gold pan and the desire to have some fun. Black sand and gravel swirl as participants celebrate Death Valley's rich gold mining heritage at the Death Young and old alike are invited to learn how to "pan fer gold", then enter our contest "Pan to Win". The contest is conducted in accordance with international championship rules.
C'mon down folks and try your hand at an obstacle course with a wheelbarrow full of water. You will start the race by telling the waterboy how much water you want in your wheelbarrow, remembering that you need enough water to fill a five gallon pail to the drain hole in the side when you reach the end. On GO, you will grab up the handles of the old steel wheel wheelbarrow and take off for a race over and around 3 obstacles. The wooden ladder laying on the ground may give you a much needed shower, minus the soap of course. If you tackle this with water left you will weave around 6 rebar rods trying not to spill soo much of your precious cargo, and don't run over the rods. Let's assume for a moment that you make it through this portion of the course, you now kick into high gear and race to the wooden bridge. Don't fall off before the end or you will incur a 5 second penalty. From here the end is in sight. Race as quick as you can to the 5 gallon pail, tip up the wheelbarrow and hope the judge waves the flag as the water pours out of the hole in the side of the pail. Remember that all the time you are running the course the crowd will be cheering you on. Bring a sense of humor, a lawn chair and a possible bribe for the judge and the MC and let the good times and the wheelbarrow roll. Participant ribbons are awarded.
For many years, encampment-goers of all ages have delighted in this entertaining event — the Pampered Pet Parade! From lap dogs in biker outfits to an iguana on a leash, the Pet Parade provides wholesome fun and entertainment for the entire family!
We hope that you will join us at the Fiddler's Stage. There is NO entry fee to take part, but membership is required, so be sure to wear your Membership Badge. All pets must be under control and on a leash.

Home Latest News Analysis Could Red Devils' interest in Sergej Milinkovic-Savic pave way for Pogba's exit?
Could Red Devils' interest in Sergej Milinkovic-Savic pave way for Pogba's exit?
Idowu Oluwashola
Milinkovic-Savic, who has been sobriquet-ed as the Paul Pogba of Serbia, due to the similarities they share in term of style of play, has long caught in midst of prolonged interests from Manchester United and other elite European clubs since his impressive antics for Lazio.
His abilities has been noted to be sublime, which carries an aura of a masterclass. Milinkovic-Savic is a complete midfielder, who can play any position around the midfield seamlessly. He's capable of blending the traditional attacking movement, positional sense, and finishing ability of an attacking midfielder, with the height and physicality of a target man or defensive midfielder.
He also possesses good technique, tactical intelligence, vision, and passing ability, tenacity and an excellent defensive work-rate, which enables him to help out at both ends of the pitch, carry the ball, and start attacking plays after winning back possession.
Since his arrival at Lazio for €18 million in 2015, his market value has risen tremendously, with his price-tag been staged to be around €120 million according to a French site FootMercato.
Same site also reported about Manchester United are approaching the Lazio player through his agent and an intermediary after a failed summer move. This has come at a time when Pogba's future at the club appears to be in doubt.
During the summer of 2019, Pogba hinted that his time at Old Trafford was coming to an end as he said "it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else" with Real Madrid and Juventus being linked to the player.
This statement was made by Pogba at a time where his future at Old Trafford looked sour and on a downhill. His return to Manchester United had earlier been believed to be the beginning of what would have begun if he hadn't left the club for Juventus.
He revealed during his first interview at Manchester United that "he felt he has an unfinished business", which he feels it's the motivating factor that led to his second coming to Old Trafford.
Few seasons down the line, things aren't looking as bright as it was anticipated by both fans and management toward's his performance and form. Conjoined with the encounter he had with the club's former coach Jose Mourinho.
On the final day of 2018/2019 Premier League season, Pogba started for Manchester United as they lost to Cardiff City 2–0 at Old Trafford and after the game, Pogba was seen talking to some fans who were laying abuses at him.
His agent Mino Raiola, recently divulged an exit comment, where he stated that the player and club's plans beyond this season remains unclear. "We need to see in the summer if Paul is still in the plans of Manchester United and if Manchester United is still in the plans of Paul," Raiola said.
This public statement has led to more grievous anger from fans and even some of the club legends especially Gary Neville who blasted Paul Pogba's 'disgraceful' agent Mino Raiola.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville, branded Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola "a disgrace" after the Frenchman was embroiled in a transfer saga.
Neville stated that; "His agent is a disgrace and has been a disgrace all over Europe, not just for Manchester United," he told TV2. "They must stop working with him. He doesn't have the values you want in your club.
He continued saying: "My opinion is that Manchester United need not negotiate with him. He will try to fix a transfer for his player, and will try to take part of the transfer sum himself. That's how he operates."
Neville also highlighted how the off-field issues surrounding Pogba are damaging to United.
"[Pogba] wants to leave. He has made it clear," stated Neville. "For Manchester United, it's devastating. He is one of the best and most famous players in the world, but every week there are new issues.
"There is always controversy. It's probably not his own fault, but the fact is that it is devastating for a club."
With all the unending melodrama between Pogba, his agent and the club, the signing of Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio will come as an impalpable replacement and a relief to Pogba's second potential exit from the club.
Which might end up to be the best decision for both parties.

Any measures that might make healthcare markets more competitive (and bring down premiums) are being fought tooth and nail by the Blues, according to this piece. (Hat tip Jameson Taylor) Tell us something we didn't know.
The same thing is happening in N.C. The Blues like the status quo because they enjoy a virtual monopoly here. But as they protect the status quo, waffle on mandates, and generally behave in their short term interests, they are providing fodder for the left to make the grand 2008 pitch for a single payer system. And the Blues have everything to lose if the left has its way.
So here's a message to Blue Cross Blue Shield: fight for deregulation. Yes, you'll have to compete like a real company, not a protected monolith that benefits from the regs. But at least you won't go the way of the dinosaur. Such is your choice, as no one – neither the left nor the right – is prepared to keep the current system. Something's got to give.


The shaggy dome of pale pink petals making up these very unique flower-heads, are actually a number of individual curving tubular mint-like flowers growing out from a central point. Monada 'Beauty of Cobham' has aromatic foliage and vibrant purple bracts, with the leaves sometimes being picked for potpourri. Plants bloom continuously if dead headed regularly and are tolerant of most soil types, but are prone to powdery mildew in situations that are too dry.
When crushed, Monarda leaves secrete a spicy, highly fragrant oil. It has a long history of use as a medicinal plant by many native American tribes. The Blackfoot Indians recognized the strong antiseptic action of these plants, and used poultices of the plant for skin infections and minor wounds.

HomeSportSports OtherExciting sport offers a gateway to Gortin Glens
Exciting sport offers a gateway to Gortin Glens
Posted: 7:55 pm December 29, 2020
By Chris Caldwell
c.caldwell@strabanechronicle.com
GORTIN Mountain Bike Club chairman Stephen Collins believes the newly opened trails in Gortin Glens Forest Park won't only become a gateway to the enjoyment of the local landscape but they will also open the door to the sport for many.
It has taken almost 30 years of hard work behind the scenes for local mountain bikers' dreams of proper trails being constructed in the Glens to become a reality.
The first trail development in the Glens was carried out by local enthusiasts around 27 years ago, but the development of official trails in Gortin didn't begin in earnest until 2013. However, due to various challenges and complexities this project had stalled and looked in danger of never being completed.
Then, in December 2017 there was a meeting that changed everything!
After that gathering, Gortin MTB was initially formed as a committee to liase with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and drive the development of an official trail centre in Gortin.
This led to the official establishment of Gortin Mountain Bike Club in 2018 and from there it has gone from strength to strength by developing a strong membership along with a close relationship with local Council.
In just two years, the club has enjoyed plenty of success with Kelan Grant – who has one of the trails, Kelan's Chase, named in his honour – winning an Irish title alongside his performances as a professional on the World Enduro Series with Team Chain Reaction Mavic, and two younger members have also caught the eye. Callum Morris and Hannah Mullin are the reigning boy and girl Irish Enduro champions.
"It developed from that original committee to become a club affiliated with Cycling Ireland," explained Collins, who is keen to attract more people to the sport.
"Since then we have developed a youth side of it. There is a pile of young ones in it, we have the Irish Enduro boys and girls champions.
"The youth is buzzing and Kelan is going to start coaching with those guys when the Covid regulations allow, so hopefully we'll have another couple of Irish champs bred, even EWS champs!
"We have between 40 and 50 active members from all over the country, all ages and there's a strong ladies contingent.
"It's a sport you have to try – people see all these mad videos of boys jumping over cars and things but it's just about being out in the fresh air, enjoying the scenery around the Gortin Glens, there's something about it, something special.
"It's nice to be out in nature, but my advice would be to go try it. It's inclusive and the mountain bike community as a whole is great – if you meet someone on a trail with a puncture, people will always stop and help – there's a real friendly buzz bout it."

1. Geography and population of India
India, a country that occupies most of South Asia. The capital is New Delhi, built in the 20th century on the South of the historic center of Old Delhi, serves as the administrative center of India. India is a constitutional republic with a very diverse population, consisting of thousands of ethnic groups and hundreds of languages. It is home to about 1/6 of the world's population, and is the second most populous country after China.
The land of India, together with Bangladesh and much of Pakistan, forms a well-defined subcontinent, separated from the rest of Asia by the imposing northern mountain range of the Himalayas and the adjacent mountain ranges to the west and east. In terms of area, India ranks seventh in the world. The territory of India is surrounded by the Arabian Sea in the west and the Bay of Bengal in the east.
General information about India:
Capital: New Delhi
Area: 3,287,000 km²
Internet top level domain: .in
Population: 1.39 billion
Population of India
The population of India is considered to be young. Its birth and death rates are close to the world average. More than half of the population is under 30 and less than a quarter are 45 and over. Life expectancy is about 68 years for men and 70 years for women.
The population explosion in India began after the major influenza epidemic of 1918-1919. In the following decades, up to the 1961 census, there was a steady increase in growth rates. India's population doubled between 1947 and 1981. Although fertility has declined significantly, the much faster decline in mortality is due to the country's accelerated population growth.

2. The official language of India
There are hundreds of major and minor languages in India and many hundreds of recognized dialects, the languages of which belong to four different language families: Indo-Iranian (a subfamily of the Indo-European language family), Dravidian, Austro-Asian, and Tibeto-Burmese. The vast majority of Indians speak Indo-Iranian or Dravidian languages.
The complexity of such linguistic diversity lies in the fact that, thanks to long-term contact with each other, the Indian languages have come to converge and formed a single linguistic area - a sprachbund, comparable, for example, to that which exists in the Balkans. Languages in India have adopted words and grammatical forms from each other, and local dialects within languages are very different from each other.
3. Currency in India
10 Indian rupees = 0.14USD
Indian rupee is the currency of India; INR is the currency code and the currency symbol is ₹.
Since India's economy is based on cash, counterfeit currencies are circulated by those engaging in illegal behavior.
To prevent fraud, the Reserve Bank of India has modified and updated rupee banknotes with new security features over the years.
The exchange rate of the Indian rupee can be influenced by various factors, including trade flows, investment flows and oil prices.
4. Internet in India
In January 2021, India had 624.0 million Internet users.
The number of internet users in India increased by 47 million (+ 8.2%) between 2020 and 2021.
India's Internet penetration rate in January 2021 was 45.0%.
This figure is projected to grow to over 1.5 billion users by 2040, indicating a large market potential for Internet services for the South Asian country. In fact, in 2019, India was the second largest online marketplace in the world, second only to China. It is estimated that the number of Internet users is increasing in both urban and rural areas, indicating a dynamic increase in Internet access.
Of the total number of Internet users in the country, most people access the Internet through their mobile phones. There were almost as many smartphone users across the country as there were Internet users. The cheap availability of mobile data, the country's growing smartphone user base, and the usefulness of smartphones over desktops and tablets are some of the factors contributing to intensive mobile internet access in India.
5. Economic development in India
India has one of the largest and most diversified economies in the world, but due to its huge population it is - in terms of income and gross national product (GNP) per capita - one of the poorest countries on earth.
The agricultural sector remains the main employer in the country (about half of the workforce), although, while producing about one fifth of the gross domestic product (GDP), it is no longer the largest source of GDP. Trade, finance and other services together constitute the largest component of GDP.
About one fifth of India's workforce is employed in the so-called "organized" sector of the economy (eg, mining, plantation agriculture, manufacturing, utilities and modern transport, commercial and service industries). But this small fraction supports most of the middle and upper class population and provides most of the economic growth.
6. Job in India
In 2021, the average salary in India is INR 31,900 (Indian rupees) per month or INR 382,800 per year. That's $ 428.49 per month at the July 2021 exchange rate.

8. Indian mentality
In most cases, the Indian mentality is that "anything can happen." It is the foundation of Indian coexistence, which is essential for India's diversity. It is the Indian way of life - to accept the behavior of others, thinking that anything can happen.
For almost all Indians, the family is the most important social unit. Preference is given to extended families of two or more married couples who share finances and a common kitchen. Marriages are nearly universal, divorces are rare, and children are born in virtually every marriage. Nearly all marriages are contracted by family elders on the basis of caste, consanguinity, economic status, education, and astrology.
9. Advertising in India
The Indian ad market will recover to pandemic levels by 2022, up 12.4%. This will be led by television and digital versus lengthy recovery for print, film, outdoor advertising and radio platforms. The share of digital advertising grew rapidly from 20% in 2019 to 29.4% in 2021 and is expected to reach 32.7% by the end of 2022.
Overall, ad spend in Asia Pacific is projected to grow 8.0% to reach $ 229 billion in 2021. This growth is slightly slower compared to global ad spending, which is expected to grow 10.4% to $ 634 billion. India is the fifth fastest growing ad market in the world in 2021 after Canada, the US, Australia and the UK. India is the fastest growing online advertising market in the world, with a CAGR of 18.8% between 2020 and 2025.
10. Cryptocurrency in India
Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency in India. This is likely due to the fact that it is the longest-lived cryptocurrency and is valued the most, along with limited supply like gold. Proponents even call Bitcoin the "gold standard for cryptocurrencies."
It is reported that SEBI will be involved in regulating the sector. The central bank has repeatedly warned that cryptocurrencies could raise "serious concerns about macroeconomic and financial stability," and Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in November that cryptocurrencies could "spoil our youth." But despite government warnings and details of the planned bill that are still in the shadows, many cryptocurrency investors are hoping they can still trade. The Indian government is not seeking to ban cryptocurrencies, but will regulate them as "assets". It is reported that all Indian crypto exchanges will come under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission of India (SEBI). Citizens will have to declare their crypto assets and store them on Indian exchanges. They will no longer be allowed to store cryptocurrency on foreign exchanges or private wallets.

Разделение на некрасовцев и польшаков сохранялось на протяжении многих десятилетий. С 1867 года действует старообрядческая Введенская церковь. В 1862—1946 годах в селе располагался старообрядческий Архангельский мужской монастырь.

Apple love to launch a new product and explain with taglines that you've never seen anything like it, and this is exactly what they did with their new Retina MacBook Pro for 2012 although every change has hidden costs. It seems that the new Retina MacBook Pro has resulted in an extra battery replacement cost, which the price increase has been confirmed by Apple's own service documents.
You will notice that the Retina MacBook Pro battery replacement cost will vary by country, you can see this in the image below that is shown in Apple's "Replacing the Battery" documents, and the new Mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro will cost $199 pre taxes for a battery replacement. This is an increase when compared to the old 17-inch MacBook Pro at $179 pre taxes, although Apple has not commented on the reasons for a price hike.
The Retina display on the new MacBook Pro delivers the highest-resolution on any laptop display, according to Apple, and has more than 5 million pixels on a screen resolution of 2880×1800. This is a massive difference and one that some people can understand when you think it has 3 million more pixels than a high definition television, which can be seen in the image example below.
Did you manage to buy a Retina MacBook Pro before the shipping date changed, and what do you think about the rise in battery replacement cost?
I bought the MacBook pro with retina display once it was available before the shipping date changed, but it still says 2 to 3 weeks. Well I guess we'll soon find out if it's all worth it. Still keeping an eye on the stores just in case they get it first.

Highlights: Ian Poulter Blows Out Rory McIlroy 6&5 at WGC-Dell Match Play
Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy walk along the 13th hole during round one of the WGC-Dell Match Play at Austin CC on Mar 24, 2021 in Austin, TX. (Photo by Ben Jared/PGA TOUR via Getty Images)
Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter were last seen in the player's lounge at TPC Sawgrass sharing a lunch table while trying laugh off their horrific opening rounds of 79 and 77, respectively.
Things have improved some for Poulter… not so much for Rory.
The four-time major winner got absolutely smoked in the opening round of the WGC-Dell Match Play by his longtime friend and Ryder Cup teammate Poulter.
After a birdie on the very first hole to go 1-up, the 43-year old Englishman never relinquished the lead. McIlroy did make one brief charge with birdies on Nos. 6 and 8, but starting on No. 9, Poutler – a match play legend – put the petal down, and won five consecutive holes (Nos. 9. 10, 11, 12, and 13) to seal a 6 & 5 victory.

From the [little] horse's mouth
I asked him what he thought, about being taught proper blackfella stuff. He's nine, just recently turned, and while he has a turn of phrase to rival the greatest orator when excepting himself from homework or feeding the Kelpie, I was genuinely unsure what his response would be.
His face – muscles appearing where hair will come, eyes growing wiser by the day – split into a joyous grin, and the words tumbled out un-thought, a stream of pure consciousness that is as authentic as it gets.
"Mama, I love it! It's all the stories about this land, stories about the creatures that live here and stories that sound like songs… and the games are great: they're funny and clever and it's not like school work at all but I'm still learning. Do you want to see too? I can show you?"
If you knew my child, you would know that this is solid endorsement indeed. His bright little mind whirs continually, a powerful engine of curious thought. But school? He's not so keen. I have seen him adeptly tap out a the theme tune to M*A*S*H using four pencils and a Lego ninja while failing miserably to take in what is being said about multiplication algorithms beneath the beady eye of his teacher. Big blue eyes and a freckled smile get him a long way, and he skirts through much of the required syllabus with a wily shrug and insouciant attitude.
And yet, when we roam – swags belted, truck torqued, tarps often unravelling in a dirt-road scene akin to Priscilla – he is fascinated by the world around him, the culture and story and the application of this on Country. He was taught to make animal tracks by Uncle Kev Buzzacott on the edge of Lake Eyre. He learned to pick and cook wild rosella fruit, sticky hands dipping in and out of the pot on the fire on the banks of a lazy green river. And he will happily eat roo tail with his hands, fur and all.
This child has absorbed everything he has been taught about Indigenous Australia, because it is relates to the very heart of this land. Ask him and he will say, "it's Australia's story Mama, so that means it's everybody's story". And while he is lucky enough to have experienced the broadest reaches of this country, this tenet remains at the core of why I celebrate the opportunity he has to receive an Aboriginal education.
I have always taught him that knowledge is power: to understand and engage critical thought to situations is powerful. The understanding that he gains from an Aboriginal curriculum is equally and notably so, as it engenders shared understanding. It encourages recognition and respect, an embracing of diversity for its strengths as opposed to restricted, closed-minded colonial mythologies that breed discrimination, prejudice and inequality.
As the oldest continuous living culture on earth, the knowledge and lore of the traditional owners of this land is of seminal importance to Australia and globally. It is something to be innately proud of, to celebrate and to embrace with every part of our national identity. That it isn't remains a mystery to me, but I have to believe that will change.
And I know that the chance to broaden his understanding of the world with an ancient knowledge will help him navigate his future and that of those he loves in an equitable, diverse and caring capacity, a capacity that engenders reconciliation and ongoing understanding between the many, many people of the land on which he grows.
Wingaru Education believes that all children should have access to quality education about Aboriginal people and culture.
We believe that including Aboriginal perspectives in everyday learning promotes reconciliation and drives real change for Aboriginal people.

"The End of the F***ing World" should have ended at season one
Alyssa Husk, Entertainment Writer|December 3, 2019
"The End of the F***ing World" is a British dark comedy that was released to Netflix on January 5th, 2018. The first season was a new take on a Bonnie and Clyde story. It followed the main character James (Alex Lawther), and his psychopathic tendencies. He runs away with a brash classmate who's named Alyssa (Jessica Barden).
James puts up with Alyssa's rudeness and runs away with her solely because he fantasizes about murdering her. His plan to kill Alyssa goes awry when they break into a college professor's home while he's gone. When the professor comes home to find Alyssa sleeping in his bed, he attempts to force himself on her. James proceeds to stab the professor in the neck, killing him, to protect Alyssa.
The teens spend the rest of the first season on the run from the law committing petty crimes and falling in love. James works on getting past his murderous urges and Alyssa works on being less disrespectful and rebellious. The season ends with the police finding the criminal couple and James running away from the police to protect Alyssa again. The final scene is James running down a barren beach, the camera cuts to Alyssa as a shot rings out and it fades to black.
The second season released to Netflix on November 5th, 2019, and it's a completely different vibe from the dark suspenseful comedy that was the first season. It opens with what happened to Alyssa during the year after the entire incident ended. She moved with her family to her aunt's house in the middle of the woods, got a job, and purposed to her simple boyfriend she met at her aunt's café.
We are also clued in on the fact that the girlfriend, Bonnie (Naomi Ackie), of the professor James killed had a vendetta against Alyssa and James. It's also revealed to the audience that James is still alive. He was actually shot at the end of season one but he didn't die, he just had to relearn how to walk.
Alyssa finds out James is still alive and has been following her and ditches her wedding reception to run away with him. A series of unfortunate events unfolds; James and Alyssa pick up a hitchhiker who just happens to be Bonnie, Bonnie kills a motel owner, Alyssa and James ditch Bonnie outside of a pharmacy, Alyssa goes back home and divorces her husband, and Bonnie shows up to Alyssa's job with a gun. Bonnie ends up not hurting anyone and Alyssa and James admit they love each other, but decide to take things slow.
From an outsider's point of view, season two of "The End of the F***ing World" wasn't bad. It is well shot, has good dialogue, and interesting characters. My issue with it is that it doesn't do anything for the show overall. In comparison to season one, the second season was bland and uneventful. The characters didn't have the same bombastic personalities and intrigue.
The entire vibe of the second season shifted completely. Not only did it focus more on Alyssa than James, but it lost all sense of the Bonnie and Clyde charm that it perfectly encapsulated in the first season. It felt as if they attempted to make the characters more real and likeable, which in turn lost most, if not all, parts of the show that were interesting. In season one we see James and Alyssa arguing and juxtaposing each other almost as if they were caricatures of the odd introvert and brash extrovert. While in season two, James comes off as a sad pushover and Alyssa comes off as just plain mean.
Even though the first season left off on a major cliff hanger, there was no reason for a second season. The suspenseful ending of season one perfectly matched the tone and intensity of season one. Even if the cliffhanger wasn't resolved, the audience wouldn't riot because it just felt complete. The ability to conjure up your own ending was perfect for an out there show that didn't rely on telling you important parts of the story, but showing you them.
All in all, was the second season of "The End of the F***ing World" terrible? No. Did it add anything to the show and its concept overall? Also no. The addition of the second season doesn't ruin the show, but it detracts from its overall cohesiveness and wouldn't have been hurt without it. Even though the Bonnie and Clyde dynamic wasn't killed with James as much of the audience thought when they assumed he died after the gunshot rang out at the end of the first season, it did die off along with a lot of the heart and intrigue of the show throughout season two.

I don't know what's wrong with me but most times I make plans in advance, as the deadline creeps closer, I start getting second thoughts about those plans; I entertain notions of making excuses or secretly hoping that the plans have changed and the responsibility of making a decision negatively impacting such plans has been taken from me.
For example, I was invited to attend some friends' wedding in New Orleans this past weekend; now there were a couple of things about this event outside of my feelings for Dom & Izzy (both of whom I love dearly) that made me nervous.
• Unfamiliar Setting — a destination wedding and I've never been to The Big Easy before.
• Do I Know Anybody? — I only knew the bride and groom going into this event. No way in hell could I expect "Face-Time!" when they're surrounded by family and other friends.
For me these are big signifiers of anxiety.
And yet this past weekend I had an amazing time. I mean Amazing. I think it was those very things that I thought would be a source of anxiety that actually served as a source of energy for me.
As soon as I hopped off the plane, Dom & Izzy showed up with her sister, Ellie and her man, Adrian, and they rushed me straight to the French Quarter where the French Quarter Festival was in full swing. And before I knew it, I was in the heart of New Orleans and meeting Dom's siblings, their significant others and some of Izzy's friends. In one fell swoop, without their even knowing it, my friends managed to erase my fears of being in a new environment and my nervousness of meeting new people. I really enjoyed meeting these people — there was no weird awkward context; I feel that if I were to meet them at the ceremony, the vibe could have been totally different.
The wedding itself was brilliant as well; I had so much fun — one of the best I've attended — from the music choice (Izzy walked down the aisle to "I've Got You, Babe" and they walked off husband and wife to "Rock the Casbah"), to the venue (a quail farm in Covington), to the all around good vibes that meeting Dom's family (who really are Minnesota Nice!) and Izzy's friends and family provided.
I am very glad both Dom and Izzy got married, and I love being reminded that special people exist in my life.

Q: How to decide number of buckets in Spark I have read quite a few articles on bucketing in Spark but haven't still been able to get a clear picture of it. But moreover what i have understood till now is that "Bucketing is like partition inside a partition, and it is used for the candidates having very high cardinality which helps in avoiding reshuffling operation".
Even in Spark documentation, can't find enough explanation. Pasting an example from the documentation
peopleDF.write.bucketBy(42, "name").sortBy("age").saveAsTable("people_bucketed")
Unable to understand here, how the number '42' is decided for bucketing. Kindly help to understand the same. Also, any clearer explanation on bucketing would also be great.

A: 42 is just like what is the meaning of life? An example therefore.
Spark Bucketing is handy for ETL in Spark whereby Spark Job A writes out the data for t1 according to Bucketing def and Spark Job B writes out data for t2 likewise and Spark Job C joins t1 and t2 using Bucketing definitions avoiding shuffles aka exchanges. Optimization.
There is no general formula. It depends on volumes, available executors, etc. The main point is avoiding shuffling. As a guideline defaults for JOINing and AGGr are set to 200, so 200 or greater could be an approach, but again how many resources do you have on your cluster?
But to satisfy your quest for knowledge one could argue that the 42 should really be set to number of Executors (= 1 core) you have allocated to the Spark Job/ App, leaving aside the issue of skewness.

I did some chores in the morning and just relaxed, sitting outside the van, enjoying the warmth, birds and a little breeze.
Then we went snorkelling again. It is so much pleasure. I could live here for weeks, just doing this every day!
After lunch, drove out to Maud's Landing, just to the north of the village, along a rough track. There is a big controversy here at the moment, due to a proposal to build a resort and marina here. This is being hotly opposed by those who feel it will threaten the reef – both from pollution and over use. I hope it does not go ahead – I love the laid back, village nature of the place.
At Maud's Landing, John fished, without catching anything. I wondered if the fish knew where the marine conservation zone ended and stayed away from the fishing areas!
I went for a long walk along the beach. Beach walk days are just the best days!
Tea was chicken pieces done Greek style – marinated in lemon, garlic, herbs.

Not much information to be found on Pickard's Chinese Syncopators. They were an active string band on the Vaudeville circuit in the 1920s & 30s, and seemed to be a Chinese/American combo. This is a cool and quirky rumba called "Ali Baba".

We were delighted to welcome 50 volunteers and guests from across the Borough to the Winter Party. Guests included The Mayor of Richmond, Cllr. Ben Khosa, Cllr. Michael Wilson, Cllr. Pamela Fleming, The Revd Wilma Roest and the Trustees who very kindly, provided the food and drink.
In his speech, The Mayor thanked the volunteers for the enormous contribution they make to the lives of so many isolated and elderly residents in Richmond, whether driving to medical appointments, doing the shopping or just being a friendly companion over a cup of tea. Volunteers in Richmond are the unsung heroes of the Borough and it was an honour to be able to sing the praises of the Richmond Good Neighbour Volunteers.
Thank to generous donations from supporters an array of prizes was available as raffle prizes raising £172 for the charity. Funds raised will go towards hosting more social events for our more isolated clients.

Tiger to Resume Australian Flights?
Tiger Airways Australia expects to resume services "in the near future", possibly by 5th August, having been given conditions to meet by Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority. The Singapore-based low cost carrier's Australian flights were grounded by the CASA four weeks ago due to safety concerns.
In a statement the airline said: "CASA has today issued Tiger Airways Australia with a set of formal conditions that the airline must comply with, some of which must be satisfied prior to the reintroduction of their domestic flights. As a result of the progress made since 1 July 2011, Tiger Airways Australia is confident that it can comply with these conditions and expects to resume services in the near future.
"As a consequence, Tiger Airways Australia will automatically refund all passengers booked to fly between 1 August 2011 and 4 August 2011 (both dates inclusive). A further announcement, concerning flights scheduled to operate from 5 August 2011 and the re-commencement of sales, will be made at the appropriate time."
CASA said: "While CASA might be able to grant the necessary approvals by August 1, Tiger clearly anticipates a return to service no sooner than August 5. There are suggestions that when Tiger resumes services it will drop Avalon as its second Melbourne airport in favour of basing all or most of its fleet of 10 Airbus A320s at Tullamarine.
"This may in turn see a much more concentrated network focus on the Melbourne-Sydney route, as well as on flights to Brisbane, which is expected to be one of the early cities which the as yet unnamed Boeing 777-200 equipped Singapore Airlines owned medium to long haul low fare carrier will serve from sometime next year."

1. Practising everyday for 10 min is better than practising 2 hours in one go once every week. Regular practise, like regular exercise, trains your hands and your brain to get smooth, even results in your playing and technique. Gradually, (and much faster once you get going) your speed goes up and your technique improves, and so does the entire sound you get out of your cajon.
2. For technique, exercises and rudiments a metronome is essential. The metronome keeps your time… have a look at what a metronome is here in wikipedia if you are unfamiliar with it. Back to Techniques and rudiments, you should try to incorporate these into your daily practise. Playing and learning new grooves is important but having a good technique will improve every single groove you play, it defines your sound and your precision as a cajon player. It gives you freedom to play relaxed and comfortably, and ability in order to learn much faster.
3. A dopt a good posture when you play, this starts at home, when you are alone practising, thats where you must be aware of your posture and movements. Having a mirror for practising is an excellent way to keep eye on your posture. You should seriously not slouch if you intend to have a long and fruitful relationship with the cajon…learn from the beginning how to sit up and find the right relaxed position. Check out my posture and basic sounds vid for more on this subject.
4. Having the right practise environment is important. If possible (not essential), get a solitary place/room to practise in every day. Having the room without any distractions is a good idea if you feel a bit demotivated to practise… nevertheless, if you have passion and determination, you can make any environment work for you!
5. Let's face it, cajones are noisy, and we love them like that, but not everyone else likes to hear cajonero's /a's rudiments everyday. Noise can many times be an issue as to why we sometimes don't practise regularly at home. To dampen the cajon, you can place some foam inside on the floor of the cajon, or for a much more drastic dampening, you can stuff the inside of your cajon with towels, and even cover the outside frontboard of the cajon with a towel, so you end up playing on the towel instead of the wood.
5. If you practise over and hour, take a break every 45min or so just to refresh your mind, and your position. It is known that (even though this varies a lot from person to person) your concentration starts going down after about 45 min, so take a small break to get sharp in your brain again, get some fresh air etc. This improves and helps your posture. Stand up and stretch upwards and outwards, take a few steps, then you're good to practise some more.
6. Drinking water throughout your practising never hurts, it really keeps your muscles moist and your concentration tip top, not to mention it's pretty good for you!
7. After doing excesices and technique, play along to some music that already features cajon, and learn some of the fills and grooves that the cajon player plays in the songs. You can play along as well, this is great practise!
8. Be creative, many times once you have worked out a daily practise routine, it can become stagnant, leave some of your practising time free to just be creative and have fun, just trying spontaneous things. It's great to be serious, but if your technique training makes you forget how to have fun just playing, you missed it! One really great thing to do in this time is building up opn some more percussions and co-ordination, using different drums with your cajon, or trying a pattern with your foot while you play a groove. Or invest in a cymbal or hi hat and incorporate it into your playing!
9. Take a break! If you have played a lot for everyday for 10 consecutive days, take 1 day off from playing if you can, or as soon as possible, or take 2 -3 days off playing if you've played a whole 2 months non stop. This is what we call a reset, it gives you a break, so when you return from playing, your mind is fresh and has some new idea, plus, after those breaks is when you see how much you have improved!
10. Be positive. Your thoughts is what affects EVERYTHING in your life! So this would of course apply to your musical endeavours too. Be positive. Forget about comparing, forget about other people and what they are doing, forget about all that rubbish, and be busy with who you want to be. Thats all you need to be! 🙂 When you practise, be excited, and if you need to, join a few fellow musicians or percussionists and meet up once a week or fortnight and jam, or go and see some live music, anything that really inspires you and makes you wanna play more!
Thank you for the practice tips!
I've recently started playing the Cajon and am really enjoying it. Your a great inspiration and I like your style of playing very much.
is your learn to play DVD still in the works and if so when is it being released?
I've been a drummer all my life 'n Cajon-ing is new. And not easy. Your site makes it easier. Can't thank you enough from Singapore.
Thank you for the email and pointers on practicing. I truly want to master the Cajon and want the process to be productive and fun. Hopefully in a few months I can upgrade my Cajon. I like those I have seen on your site. I live in Asheville, NC area and don't see many people playing the Cajon. I really would love to get your DVD to practice and learn as much as I can.
how can i get the lessons' DVD if it's avaliable !
And can i receive it in Egypt ?
There are some great metronome apps that will run on your cell phone, and they are free!
Hi Heidi, taking advantage of this tips, I have a concern and I would like you give me an advice about it. What kind of cymbals to play with cajon, do you adviced me? I was searching on internet about it and I saw some recommendations as Sabian El Sabor picante hand crash 16″ or 18″, but I saw a couple of recommendations too about using a Sabian Splash, what would you recommended me?
You couldn't have asked this question at a better time, I have filmed an entire video of about 18 min running thru my cymbals I use and the ups and downs and giving some demonstrations of their sounds, it has taken a while to edit also because I have been way too busy with my band (Fernando's Kitchen) new Album and our albmlaunch, arranging, editing, mising, recording, directing the other musicians…. not to mention my cajon school and cruz cajons, but it's almost done and I hopeto have it up on youtube next week! It will really give you some great help on the "what cymbal do I get" question!!! 🙂 Sign up to my newsletter to be sure to get it emailed to you as soon as it's up!
Hi Heidi, actually I'm signed up, I will wait for that video.
This is a very true comment, old is simply a state of mind! You can do anything at any given moment of your life if you really want!
Awesome and helpful as always, Thanks!

Q: Python 2 vs Python 3 straight bytes converting I have Python 2 code, which works perfectly alright:
# python 2
key = 'L\x1e@\xael\xc0\xa9\xa3\x8d\x9e5\xac\x00\xe5\x98h'
# type(key) => <type 'str'>

Originally my key is just some random 32bytes value. And here i share the only repr() values.
So I can use some random bytes-like sequence as a string.
But when it comes to Python3, my incoming string is in bytes:
# python 3
key = b'L\x1e@\xael\xc0\xa9\xa3\x8d\x9e5\xac\x00\xe5\x98h'
# type(key) => <class 'bytes'>

And I need to convert it to string "as it looks", without replacing any characters.
I tried to do it though ascii:
key_chuncks = [chr(s) for s in key]
# ['L', '\x1e', '@', '®', 'l', 'À', '©', '£', '\x8d', '\x9e', '5', '¬', '\x00', 'å', '\x98', 'h']

As you see chr(s) interpretes some bytes sequences as characters and I don't need this behavior.
Is there is a way, to convert my bytes to string "as it looks"? Without any character interpretation (decoding). ?
All I need is to convert key_before to key_after in Python3
key_before = b'L\x1e@\xael\xc0\xa9\xa3\x8d\x9e5\xac\x00\xe5\x98h'
key_after = 'L\x1e@\xael\xc0\xa9\xa3\x8d\x9e5\xac\x00\xe5\x98h'

# type(key_after) => <type 'str'>


What do I charge for Oddjobbing?
Gardening work, decorating etc. What is a sensible price?
One problem I've had over the years of casual labouring / oddjobbing is how much do I charge for doing a job. Should I charge more for certain types of work, should I charge by the hour or by the work and skill involved. Sometimes I've done well and sometimes I've failed miserably!
There are two types of work here; the customer who wants you to work on a kind of permanent regular arrangement, wanting you to do say four hours a week on a Tuesday or other day if it's raining. This may fluctuate a little bit as quite often they will have a couple of extra things they want doing, so you work around that and if it's 'more work, more pay' fair enough!
The other work is where you have a kind of circle of Customers, usually this is where they only want you when they want, normally to cut the grass, the hedge or whatever, in other words 'a Service'.
The hourly way is quite simple, you come to an arrangement over the pay and get on with it. Most of these customers have larger properties, so you don't have to worry about too many overheads except the cost of getting there - they will have their own tools which you use etc.
The problem is more for those one off jobs where you have to turn up cut the grass and go. This leads into more overheads quite often and some people may not accept an hourly rate on the theory they think you're going to do the job as slow as possible! I should say in most cases you have soon got to know them and they make their mind up as to if you are trustworthy or not.
1. How much petrol am I going to use getting there?
2. Will I have to take away the grass cutting and weeds etc?
3. If I do how much time is that going to take to clear up at home?
4. Do I use my own tools?
Time to get there plus petrol (say 30 mins) = £7, Actual time spent at job = 2 hours £20, time to clear their rubbish away = 30mins = £5. So although you're there for 2 hours, if you charge £20, you could be saying goodbye to £12 and you've in real terms only earnt £8.
This will usually come into the price for the job and not an hourly rate, so knowing your abilities, approx time to do the job plus the overheads are imperative.
3. The almost certain having to dart out because you've used more paint than you thought and need some more.
There are so many things which can make your work slower than you thought. I reckon on my oddjobbing, decorating and gardening work around 75% of all the jobs I've done have taken me longer than expected.
So if you give a price and the customer asks how long it's going to take, be very aware. If you say £200 and you find it only took you a day, they may find that harsh even if they thought it was an acceptable price in the first place. Chances are you haven't written the final bill, so if you should have a guilt problem, you can always be honest and say it didn't take you as long as expected and will reduce the total by £30. This would also have the benefit that they'll ask you to do something else in the future.
If you found you spent a day more than you'd quoted for, take it as a lesson learnt and go onwards and upwards.
Word of mouth is the best and least expensive form of advertising, news gets round quick and if you're not ripping people off, you'll find your telephone at home ringing quite often with prospective customers!
Be up front and if a customer turns you down on price, ask them how much the other person is charging. Be careful though, some may not like you doing that.
Most of all; How long will it take 'on the job', how long will it take getting there, equipment needed and even allow for the occasional break to have something to eat etc.
Never put aside that you have to pay your way in life, be positive, be motivated, but don't take it hard should you have the occasional slip up.
Don't miss the hard bits!
It's nice to use their's!

Led from the margins: our membership and management structure
The Resource Centre prioritises work with groups from the most marginalised communities in our city: those in areas of social housing, those of black and minority ethnic people and of disabled people. All of our work is led by the groups we prioritise. The Centre's membership is made up entirely of groups in marginalised communities and representatives of these groups elect our Management Committee from among themselves. Each person on our Management Committee is a volunteer activist in a small community group, based in a community which is excluded and marginalised in society.
Despite Brighton's cosmopolitan and prosperous image, these groups are often unrepresented in the city and are locked out of the structures of power by a range of intersecting barriers:
Local residents in areas of social housing – our membership list includes tenant and resident associations, school PTAs, sport and social groups based on estates, where people often feel forgotten and ignored by the key institutions of the city, and experience practical and financial barriers to equal participation in the city's cultural and democratic life.
Black and minority ethnic communities – both new and established BME communities in Brighton & Hove have developed self-organised groups as a key mechanism for supporting their members to deal with issues such as racism, language barriers, access to housing, maintenance of cultural heritage, fragmented communities and isolation.
Disabled people – systems designed for non-disabled people often make everyday activities – such as travel, meeting others, attending events and getting a job – more difficult than they need to be, leaving many disabled people isolated and living on low incomes. Groups run by and for disabled people run activities that are accessible by design, and enable their members to find a sense of belonging and autonomy.
For all these groups, the issues faced by individuals in their communities make organising in community groups both more important and more difficult. Low incomes, precarious work patterns, geographical isolation, health inequalities and language and literacy barriers mean that organising a group is more challenging in the very communities where groups can make the most difference.
Their experience of working with these challenges and overcoming these barriers make activists from these groups particularly qualified to direct our support work with other small groups.
Because the Resource Centre is led by volunteer trustees drawn from communities that share this experience of exclusion and self-organisation, the work of the organisation as a whole is oriented towards practical action to help member groups counteract the imbalances they face. We do this by:
Providing additional services for member groups, free of charge and at a time and place that suits the group volunteers involved. This contrasts with their experience of being excluded in practice – by lack of funds, distance to travel or inaccessible premises – from services that are nominally open to all.
Responding to specific requests from member groups as they arise, rather than expecting groups to fit in with a schedule of training courses. This enables member groups to set their own priorities for the support they receive from staff, and respects that they are the experts regarding their own needs.
Integrating member group services with our open-access front desk. This helps to make the Resource Centre a welcoming and diverse space, where member groups can feel confident about being treated respectfully.
Putting the interests of our member groups at the heart of our evaluation and development process. This helps us to focus clearly on the benefits for groups of any potential change, and to concentrate our fundraising efforts on the priorities of our member groups, rather than those of funders.
Learning directly from member groups about what works for them, and making these lessons available to the wider community through our online information service.
"The Resource Centre offers a way for small groups to collaborate and learn from each other, without compromising the independence and expertise which make them so effective. At its centre is an alliance of many of the most marginalised groups in the city who have created a structure that not only services their own needs but also provides a hub for hundreds of other small groups." (Roy Crowhurst, Resource Centre Chair, 2017)

All parents should encourage children to experience since playing will be as important as sleep and food and forms a crucial role in the child's development. If you watch children playing you could glance at the excitement and happiness which they experience on their play. They be adventurous and inventive while playing they invent their very own games, be creative and develop problem solving skills while playing. Those children that are banned to learn often develop to be rude characters and would often be short tempered and moody. DianaShow There is really nothing much to spell out in Brain Buddies since it targets plain logic and maths. Like the name prescribes the sport is for educational purposes. Once player starts the game, Brain Buddies can provide explanation to the way it operates. There are 4 kinds of mini-games, including memorizing to simple basic maths.
Children are drawn to imaginative pretend play so that they can engage in the act of adult copy, whether it is pretend cooking through pretend food and kitchen toys or participating in the creative play of Dress Up where they can mimic adult careers and roles. Through this kind of play children learn many important social, familial and civic lessons. During the initial few a lot of a child's life the brain keeps growing and in a more impressionable state pc opportunity be in again. It is when the little being of life, anyone behind mental performance is experiencing everything initially and without previous information to check anything. It has a clean slate.
In order to satisfy their curiosity and also have them learn to see interesting things all the time, a parent or gaurdian has a few options, and educational toys are probably the best of these options. Educational toys appear in immense variety today, plus they are not simply fun to learn, but they also can show kids the best way to behave, they make them learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and sizes.
