2. I'll be appearing on CBC radio's The Point show tomorrow around noon or so. Talking about — wait for it — men and cats. Yes, apparently I've become North America's foremost commentator on male ailurophilia. It's a heavy burden, it is.
I'm not 100% sure whether I'll be on live or whether they'll record me and then run it, but either way the Web site archives the shows as streaming media and podcasts, so if you miss me on the radio you can always catch it online. This will also give those of you in the US an opportunity to hear me blather on this critical subject, as I'm certain you'll want to.
OH. Interesting. I'll have to download the podcast.
Hey, I learned a new word today! Yay!
Even if you are live, that'll only be in the Maritimes. The rest of the country will hear you (and all of the show) at their same relative time, but of course pre-taped.
I'll try to be near a radio. I'm still not sure what to think of the show; it's new, replacing another show that moved to a morning slot in order to replace a show that was retired. And us CBC buffs have trouble giving things up.
Your multi-faceted fame precedes you.
Wait, your are invading Canada? Just when I thought about moving there…now I have to pick a new country.
You are the first American I've heard that was even aware that we had elections. Good on ya.
I'm curious to hear how your step into Canadian media works out though. Any chance you'll get to plug Zoe's Tale?
Well done, John. A popular blog and constant pet pictures clearly makes you an expert on all things both feline and male. And the interface between the two.
And yes, well done Canadians on surviving the election… without a Harper majority :P. I lived in Canada for the last year, so I know the politics relatively well. But I'm from NZ, and we have proportional representation. It always makes me twitchy that a party can very nearly get a majority of the seats with 37% of the vote. Blech. And the Greens and the Bloc have pretty close to the same amount of support, the Bloc gets 50 seats and the Greens get zilch. Double blech.
The Point is an interesting show- but too bad you're not on Q, which is the show that used to have that timeslot, discussing your books. That is more interesting to me than this thing about cats.
Must resist. Urge. To make. Joke. about. Men. and… p-p-p…..
Hey, cool. I liked the host, Aamer Haleem, when he was doing Bands Reunited on VH-1. I thought the episode where he got Scandal back together was particular good.
"Surviving" is an awful strong way of putting it.
Invasion? Perfidious Yank! General Brock will show you the error of your ways, just like last time.
And let's not forget about our abysmal voter participation this time around. So, 37% of 59% = 21% of all Canadians over the age of 18 support our current leader. Yup, it's a great feeling. It's at times like these where I wish we only had 2 parties.
I'M American and I knew about the elections! I even know (most of) the candidates names and watched a few minutes of the debate. Can I have a cookie?
Stephen Harper (the encumbant and minority party government winner) is too conservative for me, but in comparison to our conservatives…you all are lucky. He is intelligent, he knows the difference between church and state, and he is just a smidgeon to the right of Obama, IMO.
I would have voted for Green. I think Elizabeth May rocks. But I get your multi party dilemma. I don't completely understand the difference between the liberals and the new democratic party. But it seems like that vote was pretty split and together they could have ousted the conservatives. It would be nice if you (and us in the U.S. could have some kind of system of representation for minority parties instead of clumpy geography keeping them out even when they get a substantial % of the vote overall).
Don't you mean ailurocracy? I mean, you live in the domain of the Wondrous She.
O Boring Scalzi, the Executive Committee of The Official Ghlaghghee Fan Club notes that this post is the only remotely acceptable post in, like, forever.
Not that we will bother to listen, because we know you'll spend all the time going on about stuff nobody of any import cares about, and no time at all discussing The Spectacular Marvels of Marvellous and Magnificent She.
You are hereby forbidden, by order of the Executive Committee, to report on your ridiculous interview unless the report is accompanied by a superb picture of the Beauteous Ghlaghghee and an update on Her Doings.
Don't violate our order. We have officially adopted the Seal of Disapproval Award, and we are confident you don't want to receive it.
Have you seen Slate's take on the question of men and cats?
Not that I read Slate, but my news aggregator threw the link up the other day. Really.
Disclaimer: I am straight and male, but not a cat person. Though I apparently married their Queen.
I'd've settled for a Harper majority. I do not want to be heading back to the polls in another year and a half, which is what's going to happen here. Ideally, I'd've gone for an NDP minority, but that won't happen for a long time.
As it goes, anyway, yeah, I really dislike the idea of a provincial party whose ultimate goal would be the dissolution of this dominion of Canada being allowed to exist, and only runs in a province that is unfairly given so many seats in the House of Commons. I understand why they gave Quebec those seats, but times have changed in the past 160+ years and it's time to update the House.
Also, Elizabeth May is a dunce. If she really wanted to win, she would move to a different riding with weaker opponents, instead of running against Peter MacKay. I cannot take seriously a party whose own leader fails to be elected.
We have The Scalzi. And we are not giving him back.
Problem with Minority: we're going back in 18 months or so.
Problem with Majority: it's effectively a time-limited one-party state.
(see? There are things in Canadian politics I dislike – intensely – that you Americans get right(er). Just not your voting rules/structures).
Problem with most likely Majority (a Conservative one, which came close enough to be really scary): Yeah, they're a little right of the Democrats. Their base is, however, very socially conservative, while (to my bent) being nowhere near fiscally conservative enough. Harper *says* he's not going to go anywhere near the parts of our society that don't match those conservative values. I'm sure he'll keep saying that at least until the day after we vote him a Majority, all the while saying "trust us. It's not just that we'll get voted out of office if we tried it that's stopping us, it's actually what we're going to do." Whether it lasts more than two days after the election, I'm not so convinced of.
I was bored by this (Canadian) election, and my brother was a candidate. Top that!
To Lisa: The NDP was originally formed as the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, a socialist/social democrat party, which is something you don't have in America. It's avowed purpose was to destroy capitalism. They're not so radical anymore, but they're still capable of giving the average American right winger a brain aneurysm. Which is reason enough to keep them around. I know it gets confusing when even the Conservative Party endorses socialized medecine.
Not only did we have a party that wanted to destroy capitalism, we even elected a Communist MP in the 1940s!
I think that the last time an American politician actively aided and abetted an enemy of the US was in the 1861-65 unpleasantness.
Damn you John Scalzi! Now I'll have to listen to that truly execrable new show on the CBC. Try not to let the vapid, upbeat college radio amateur-hour atmosphere of the whole thing make your head assplode.
@22: In addition, remember that it was the CCF that really drove the move to socialized/normalized medicine in Canada.

Totting up Asia's large strategic petroleum reserves
Asian countries are some of the world's largest importers, with Japan holding the largest stockpile in the region
Japan has the largest strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) in the Asia Pacific region and holds the second biggest international stockpile after the US.
The country relies heavily on oil imports to meet its energy needs and maintains government-controlled oil stocks to guard against supply disruptions. Total strategic oil stocks in Japan were 589 million barrels – 55% government stocks and 45% commercial stocks – at the end of December 2011, data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed.
Japan was the third-largest net importer of total oil in the world after the US and China in 2011, having imported 4.3m barrels per day (b/d) and is primarily dependent on the Middle East, which accounts for around 90% of its crude imports.
As a member of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Japan must hold a minimum 90 days of oil stocks based on net import volumes. As of June 2012, Japanese government-owned stocks stood at 93 days of net imports.
Similar to Japan, South Korea is highly dependent on crude imports, most of which are from the Middle East. In 2011 net oil imports were around 2.4m b/d.
At the end of 2010, the world's fifth-largest crude importer held total storage capacity of 286m barrels, with just over half used for government stocks and international joint stockpiling, according to the EIA. The remainder is used for industry operation and mandatory industry stocks. As of June 2012, government stocks stood at 109 days of net imports. Elsewhere, Australia does not impose minimum stockholding requirements on oil companies, nor does it have public stocks. Instead it relies on the industry's normal stockholding practices to meet its IEA obligations.
Since 2000, declining domestic production coupled with oil-demand growth has resulted in a steady rise of net imports, and thus the amount of oil stocks needed to meet Australia's IEA requirements. Beginning in 2010, the level of oil stocks in Australia has failed to cover 90 days of net imports.
In June 2012, the industry had 71 days of net import cover. Net oil imports stood at 519,000 b/d in 2011, the highest on record.
Neighbouring New Zealand largely relies on its industry's normal stockholding practices to meet its IEA commitment. As of June 2012, government-owned stocks were 12 days of net imports, mostly held in other countries, including Australia, the UK, Netherlands and Japan.
India, Asia's second largest oil consumer after China, is expected to have nearly 40m barrels of strategic storage built by the end of 2012, enough to meet an estimated 14 days of imports. Filling these reserves is not expected to be a priority for India, which is not an IEA member, and has more pressing fiscal issues.
From a strategic perspective there is less urgency for India to fill its tanks relative to China. The Middle East is a short-haul supply source for India compared to nearly a month-long journey to reach China.

Q: Azure functions python - how to prevent SNAT port exhaustion? So I have an Azure functions app written in python and quite often the code throws an error like this.
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.***.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /x/y/z (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7faba31d0438>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 110] Connection timed out',))

This happens in a few diffrent functions that make https connections.
I contacted support and they told me that this was caused by SNAT port exhaustion and adviced me to: "Modify the application to reuse connections instead of creating a connection per request, use connection pooling, use service endpoints if the you are connecting to resources in Azure." They sent me this link https://4lowtherabbit.github.io/blogs/2019/10/SNAT/ and also this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/manage-connections
Problem is I am unsure about how to practically reuse and or pool connections in python and I am unsure what the primary cause of exhaustion is, as this data is not publicly available.
So I am looking for help with applying their advice to all our http(s) and database connections.
I made the assumption that pymongo and pyodbc (the database clients we use) would handle pooling an reuse despite me creating a new client each time a function runs. Is this incorrect and if so, how do I reuse these database clients in python to prevent this?
The problem has so far only been caused when using requests (or the zeep SOAP library that internally defaults to using requests) to hit a https endpoint. Is there any way I could improve how I use requests. Like reusing sessions or closing connections explicitly. I am aware that requests creates a session in the background when calling requests.get. But my knowledge about the library is insufficient to figure out if this is the problem and how I could solve it. I am thinking I might be able to create and reuse a single session instance for each specific http(s) call in each function, but I am unsure if this is correct and also I have no idea on how to actually do it.
In a few places I also use aiohttp and if possible would like to achive the same thing there.
I haven't looked into service endpoints yet but I am about to.
So in short. What can I in pratice do to ensure reusage/pooling with requests, pyodbc, pymongo and aiohttp?

Customer service jobs are one of the few online jobs that requires very little in terms of special skills.
All you need is a reliable computer and an Internet connection. As a service rep you can work for one of many companies that provide customer service through online contractors.
The services you might provide, based on your qualifications might include; answering simple questions, registering customers, placing orders, or providing technical input on products. A wide variety of businesses employ at home and online employees.
You could work for an airline, an Internet provider, a catalogue company, a successful entrepreneur, etc. The list is literally endless.
The best place to find a decent job is on an online job market. Sites like Enlace, Guru and odes have very strict guidelines for its members.
The sheer amount of available jobs on these sites is staggering, and with a bit of digging, sorting and weeding I don't see any reason why you shouldn't find work fast.
Make sure you ALWAYS use their online Escrow payment services to ensure you actually will get paid. Escrow acts as a safe go-between for you and your employer.
Upon choosing you for their advertised job your new employer will deposit the agreed payment into Escrow. You will then be notified with an email.
Once you know the funds have been placed you can start the job. Never, ever start work before you have been notified of this. Trust me. I've done this and lost hundreds of dollars in the process after the client disappeared with my good work without paying me.
In order to get started in this line of work you will need to have a resume that you can submit online. As you would expect, getting an online job is often a case of sending plenty of emails and making telephone calls to prospective employers.
It is highly likely that you will never meet your boss or your co-workers face to face. Make sure that your resume represents your interpersonal communications skills and any customer service related jobs you have held in the past.
If this is a career change for you it might be beneficial to get a customer service job at a retail store in order to hone your skills. Of course, you will also want to make sure that your resume is grammatically correct since you will probably be asked to submit reports online and communicate via email.
Most of the companies require any applicant to be familiar with their preferred computer programs. These typically include word processing and spreadsheet applications. Remember that your job is not only going to be about dealing with customers, it will also require you to write reports about your work.
As such you should familiarize yourself with commonly used computer programs. If you are not already familiar with these programs, you can take online tutorials, or enroll in specific classes to ensure that you know how to handle anything that comes your way.
As you look through the various websites that promote online customer service jobs, focus only on jobs that interest you. If you land a position, you will spend many hours each day talking to people about the product or service your company provides.
Because of that, you should make sure that you are actually interested in what you will be talking about.
For instance, if you enjoy traveling, you might want to work for an airline or a travel company. Your personal knowledge of travel and the excitement you could bring to customers is a huge boon in your favor.
If you are technically savvy you might be a good fit for an Internet service provider, or another tech company. By picking jobs within your expertise and interest your employer will require less time on your training. It will also push you to the top of the list of applicants.
If you simply enjoy talking to people and helping them, then virtually any customer service job is good for you. In fact, in order to be successful in this line of work you will need to have great interpersonal skills, a willingness to offer the necessary time with each client (so they feel well cared for), and a genuine interest in the company for whom you work.
If you have a preference, look do a keyword search for "inside customer service" (business to business), or "outside customer service" which refers to working with the general public.
One of the huge benefits of picking a customer service job is speaking another language. There are loads of bilingual customer service jobs just waiting to be filled. Keep in mind that these jobs require perfect command of the language in question. For that reason they pay handsomely too.
The key to picking any customer service job is to be enthusiastic about your product or service. If you can do that, your customers will be happy, and so will your boss.
One of the potential problems of working in this line of jobs is the dreaded burnout syndrome. When you speak to a large number of customers on a daily basis (and often irate ones to boot) it is easy to get burned out after some time.
If you find that the job you get is frustrating, do not give up. Find out more about the company and its products. It will help you when you are trying to help customers over the phone. If you still find yourself wishing the job away, look into other customer service jobs that might better suit your personality.
If you are doing outside customer service, switch to inside customer service and vice versa. You do not have to stick with the first job you find. Working with people can be frustrating but it can also be very rewarding.
If the job becomes a hassle, despite your best intentions it's best to get out before you damage the company's reputation with angry behavior.

Tongariro National Park - Ruapehu New Zealand
Within the Ruapehu region is the Tongariro National Park , which has dual World Heritage status because of it's unique natural and cultural attributes.
In 1887, in an effort to protect their natural and spiritual heritage, the region's native Ngati Tuwharetoa people gave the three sacred mountains to the New Zealand nation. As such, Tongariro was the first national park to be gifted to a nation by its indigenous people.
Tongariro, covering some 80,000 hectares, is a haven for scientists, hikers, skiers, mountain bikers, and leisure seekers.
New Zealand's most famous volcano, Mt Ruapehu, has extensive world class ski areas and has the unique distinction of being the only ski field in the world located within 500 metres of the crater of an active volcano.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) has lots of great information on the park.
You can visit their website here.
To view their page on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing click here.
Heritage & Maori Culture - Ruapehu New Zealand
Around 40 percent of the regions' people identify as Maori, and as such the region has a strong Maori culture. Perhaps because of its relative isolation, Ruapehu was one of the last areas of New Zealand to be settled by Europeans.
Along the banks of the Whanganui River you can still see the remains of Maori pa (their fortified villages) and many tribes were attracted to the region by the abundant natural resources. Tribes such as the Ngati Maniapoto, Ngati Rangi, Ngati Tuwharetoa and Te Atihaunui a Paparangi made the region their home and their descendants carry on their proud culture to this day.
Maori legend tells of how the supreme universe (Ranginui) placed Ruapehu, standing proud, at the centre of the North Island, and of how the great mountain gave calm to the land and its people.
But Ranginui sensed that Ruapehu was lonely, so placed several teardrops at the mountain's feet. One became the source of the Whanganui River. Tongariro became the guardian of the teardrops, Taranaki was tasked with care of the tapu (sacredness), Ngauruhoe was the ultimate servant, and Pihanga was the fertile maiden (and Tongariro's bride).
Legend has it that Pihanga was tempted by Taranaki's magnificence, so she forced Tongariro to banish his opposition, leading to Taranaki settling in the region that now bears his name.
The proud Maori peoples' spiritual connection with the land is especially evident in Ruapehu New Zealand.
Maori see the Whanganui river as having special spiritual, historical and cultural meaning. Starting as an alpine trickle on Tongariro, the Whanganui grows as it attracts waters from Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu, eventually becoming New Zealand's longest navigable river.
If you have the chance, take a guided canoe trip on the Whanganui, where Maori guides will tell stories, and play music to explain their special relationship with the Whanganui.
Seasonal Highlights - Ruapehu New Zealand
The Ruapehu region is the North Island's winter playground, and has New Zealand's largest ski fields.
Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields have a wide variety of terrain and cater to skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. And of course there's the thrill of skiing on the slopes of an active volcano.
Whakapapa is located on Ruapehu's north western slopes, and is New Zealand's largest and busiest ski field. It has around 550 hectares of ski slopes and a further 400 hectares of lift accessible terrain.
Terrain caters to everyone from learners, to extreme skiers, who attend the annual Extreme Competition in the pinnacles backcountry.
Turoa ski field sits on Ruapehu's southern side, and is the country's highest ski area, including Australasia's longest vertical drop.
Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy around 500 hectares of skiing, and another 400 hectares of back country.
One ski pass will give you access to both Turoa and Whakapapa during the June to mid November season.
Adventure / Outdoor Activities - Ruapehu New Zealand
Ruapehu's mountain streams and rugged terrain offer a range of year round activities.
Tongariro National Park is a stunning, world famous summer hiking destination. The acclaimed Tongariro Crossing is a gruelling 17km day long trek, which passes Mt Ngauruhoe and crosses Mt Tongariro, providing amazing views of crater lakes and active volcanic areas.
The 42 Traverse track is the Tongariro forest park's premier mountain bike trail, and takes riders across the central plateau on a 48km odyssey to the historic Owhango village.
Ruapehu's clear lakes and rivers are renowned for the quality and quantity of their fish stocks, and the Tongariro river is regarded as one of the world's top trout fishing rivers.
If time and budget allows, a guided fishing trip may just allow you to catch that special "trophy" fish.
For a great view of the region, Whakapapa ski area offers scenic chairlift rides through most of the year.
Nature and Wildlife - Ruapehu New Zealand
Between the Tongariro National Park, the Whanganui river and the
Whanganui National Park, visitors have no shortage of opportunity to experience New Zealand's unique flora and fauna.
The region is home to several significant nature reserves.
The Whanganui National Park includes one of the North Island's largest lowland forests, home to many different native birds. The brown kiwi, and the short tailed bat, New Zealand's only native mammal are found in the park.
Native eel, trout and freshwater crayfish (koura) thrive in the waters of the Whanganui, whose main tributary, the Whakapapa, is also one of New Zealand's finest trout fisheries.
Some Interesting Facts About Ruapehu New Zealand
* Here's a trivia question I bet you didn't know - the Ohakune carrot (the world's biggest model carrot!), appears on the New Zealand Monopoly board game.
* Tongariro was New Zealand's first national park, and the world's fourth.
* Tongariro National Park contains three active volcanoes, all around 2,000 metres high: Mt Tongariro (1,967m), Mt Ruapehu (2,797m), Mt Ngauruhoe (2,291m).
* The Maori name Ruapehu means "pit to explode".
* Want to ski on an active volcano? Mt Ruapehu has the world's only ski field within 500m of an active volcanic crater.

An island stay sounds dreamy, but the reality of these five quarantine islands was often a nightmare.
Before antibiotics, there were quarantine islands. From their beginnings as a desperate response to the Black Death, to their heyday during waves of 19th-century immigration, to their surprising denouement as close-knit communities, these five quarantine islands tell the story of our uneasy relationship with disease—and with those afflicted.
The Black Death brought unprecedented suffering to Europe, but also unprecedented procedures for pandemic response. The plague first reached Italy's Mediterranean ports in 1347, and panicked officials in Venice isolated ships coming from infected ports for quaranta giorni—a "quarantine" of 40 days—the length likely inspired by the 40 days Jesus wandered the desert while tempted by Satan. In 1377, officials near the town of Ragusa—modern-day Dubrovnik—used islands to isolate sick ship passengers. Venice eventually followed suit, co-opting Santa Maria di Nazareth, an island in Venice's lagoon, as the first island with a comprehensive quarantine station. The name Nazareth gave rise to lazaretto (after Lazarus, the biblical character raised from the dead), a word that is still used for communities isolated by sickness.
Something called a coffin ship is bound to be horrifying, but for victims of the 1840s Irish potato famine, these floating, disease-ridden death traps offered a possible version of deliverance: hope of a better life across the ocean. Even knowing that up to three in 10 passengers would likely die of starvation or diseases such as typhus before setting foot in their new home, the voyage was, for many, a risk worth taking. Canada and other countries, including Australia and New Zealand, readied for the influx of immigrants. New Brunswick's Partridge Island, Canada's oldest quarantine island, processed nearly 15,000 of the approximately 100,000 Irish refugees to British North America in 1847. It would be another century before a vaccine put the last nail in typhus's coffin, and, with this and other medical advances, the Partridge Island quarantine station officially closed in 1942.
Quarantine islands were the airport security of the 1890s—a drag that everyone tried to breeze through. By then, quarantine procedure had evolved from a panicked reaction to routine annoyance. Take Isla de Flores off the coast of Montevideo. In 1899, the USS Newark approached the three-islet chain from Rio de Janeiro, a hotbed of yellow fever. To avoid quarantine, Vice Admiral Joseph Taussig and his crew washed everything that had touched the water of Rio's harbor, but, rules were rules, and port officials ordered 24 hours of observation.
In 1918, John Martin Poyer was the governor of American Samoa where he routinely tackled some "big" problems—two villages fighting over a cricket game, for example. (Poyer confiscated the villagers' guns and forbade them from playing each other.) But when a greater challenge emerged with news of the worldwide Spanish flu epidemic, Poyer turned the idea of a quarantine island on its head—he kept the world away. Every ship was quarantined for five days before passengers could disembark. It worked: American Samoa was one of the few places in the world where no one died of the flu. In contrast, on nearby Western Samoa, one in five people perished, grimly demonstrating the power of quarantine.
Today, one of the few remaining quarantine islands exists because of one of the most ancient recorded diseases: leprosy. Although a cure for leprosy was found 60 years ago, its stigma is alive and well and continues to shape the fate of Sorokdo. Established in 1916, the quarantine island housed lepers who endured forced labor, sterilization (allegedly without anesthetic), and medical experiments. But, surprisingly, many former lepers have remained. To these often-disfigured survivors, living with others like themselves is less traumatic than suffering the hate and fear that prevails in the off-island world. One of the world's last leper colonies—and quarantine islands—is bound not by sickness, but by sympathy.

Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world and with thousands of years of history, it's home to some of the most important landmarks on the planet. Egyptian landmarks showcase the ingenious, impressive, and mysterious works of the Ancient Egyptians, whose first kingdom emerged around 4,000 years ago in modern-day Egypt. From soaring pyramids through to intricate hieroglyphics and complex underground systems and temples, here are the best of Egypt's landmarks.

1.The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. The enormous pyramid has a base of 754 feet and a height of 474 feet. The pyramid is made of more than two million stone blocks, and even by modern day standards, it is a marvel of engineering and construction. It's the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and was built around 2560 BCE. It's also the last standing of the Seven Wonders. The Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed during Egypt's Old Kingdom, which is when Pharaohs were thought to be Gods and large tombs were built for their afterlives.

2. The Great Sphinx of Giza
The Great Sphinx of Giza is thought to be the oldest large statue in Egypt. It is believed to have been built in around 2500 BCE, making it over 4,000 years old. The limestone statue is an enormous sphinx 238 feet long and 68 feet high. The sphinx is a mythical creature that has its origins in Greek mythology. In Ancient Greece, the sphinx was known as a creature who was crafty and cruel. It is thought that statues of sphinxes keep a watchful eye over the subjects and this sphinx in particular is thought to resemble the Egyptian Pharaoh Khafre, who was ruler of Ancient Egypt at the time of construction.

3. Abu Simbel
Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II ordered the construction of the Abu Simbel temple in around 1200 BCE. Abu Simbel is located on the banks of the Nile River and features two enormous temples that have been carved into a cliff. The entrance is adorned with large standing guard statues. It is thought to have taken over 20 years to build and is an incredible sight for the eyes.

4. Karnak Temple
The Karnak Temple is a city complex made of different temples. It is thought to have been constructed in 2000 BCE and features ornate detailing, with over one hundred intricately carved columns in the temple's main hall. The hall was built as a place of worship for some of the main Egyptian gods. While the temple has fallen into ruin, you can still see much of its original columns and imagine what life might have been like 4,000 years ago.

5. Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon, built in 3400 BCE, is one of the oldest landmarks in Egypt. There are two statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep, built facing the Nile and the sun, standing at the entrance of the Colossi. There are several other statues surrounding the main two statues, which are said to represent Pharaoh Amenhotep III's wife and mother.
6. Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is one of the most important archeological sites in Egypt. It's a wide valley that's home to over 60 ancient tombs and burial chambers belonging to Pharaohs and powerful noble, including the likes of Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II. It's one of the first examples of a necropolis — or city of the dead. The Ancient Egyptians carved the tombs into rocks in the valley over a five-hundred-year period from around 1600 BCE to 1100 BCE. While the Egyptians liked to build monuments to their pharaohs, they also liked to build intricate, hidden underground mausoleums to protect them and their treasures.

7. Abydos' Temple of Osiris
The Ancient Egyptians carved hieroglyphics and intricate paintings into the walls of the Abydos' Temple of Osiris. The world's second oldest written language is hieroglyphics. While it can be seen at many Egyptian landmarks, the Abydos' Temple of Osiris doesn't draw as many crowds as that of more famous sites.

8. Egypt Museum
No trip to Egypt would be complete without exploring the Egypt Museum, which is home to thousands of artifacts. The museum is located in downtown Cairo and has items on display from the time of the Pharaohs. You can also find out more about King Tutankhamun's tomb, where you can see a detailed exhibit about his mummification and what treasures were discovered.

9. White Desert
While not an ancient Egyptian landmark, the White Desert is certainly a landmark of Mother Nature. The White Desert is an alien-like landscape., home to enormous mushroom-shaped chalk formations that are the result of thousands of years of wind erosion.

10. St. Catherine's Monastery
St. Catherine's is one of the oldest monasteries in the world. It was built around 565 CE and lies at the foot of Mount Sinai, which is sacred territory where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments. St Catherine's is a desert monastery that's home to a collection of religious manuscripts and art. Many visitors also hike to the top of Mount Sinai to see sunrise or sunset.

Zara Aleena: Sexual predator Jordan McSweeney pleads guilty to murdering law graduate as she walked home
McSweeney appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday where he admitted murdering Ms Aleena, who was brutally kicked and stamped on, then left for dead, in Ilford, east London.

A sexual predator has pleaded guilty to murdering law graduate Zara Aleena just days after being released from prison.
Jordan McSweeney appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday where he admitted murdering Ms Aleena, who was brutally kicked and stamped on, then left for dead, in the early hours of 26 June this year.
The 29-year-old defendant, who had targeted more than one woman before he preyed on Ms Aleena, also pleaded guilty to sexual assault.
Ms Aleena was walking home in Ilford, east London, after spending the evening with friends when she was attacked by McSweeney.
Prosecutors said the 35-year-old woman "stood no chance" as the killer dragged her into a driveway before kicking and stamping on her.
McSweeney sexually assaulted the law graduate and made off with her mobile phone, keys and handbag, the court heard.
Emergency services were called at 2.44am after Ms Aleena was found with severe head injuries, partially naked and struggling to breathe on Cranbrook Road in Ilford.
Paramedics took the victim to the Royal London Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
A post-mortem examination found she had suffered multiple serious injuries.
Ms Aleena was only minutes from home when she was murdered, in what police described as an "opportunist stranger attack".

Blood-stained clothes
CCTV from the night of the killing showed McSweeney following several women before fixating on Ms Aleena.
He was also captured on CCTV returning to his caravan in Dagenham, Essex, after the killing, where police recovered Ms Aleena's bloodstained clothes.
More bloodstains were found on a wall in Cranbrook Road with the defendant's fingerprint identified on them.
McSweeney had been released from prison on licence just nine days before the murder.
The court heard he was a prolific offender who had previously been jailed for criminal damage, racially aggravated harassment and unauthorised possession of a knife in prison.
He had 28 convictions for 69 separate offences including burglary, theft of a vehicle, criminal damage, assaulting police officers and assaulting members of the public while on bail.

'Substantial risk' to public
After his arrest following Ms Aleena's death, McSweeney refused to answer questions but told officers he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
While in custody, he was also said to have threatened police officers.
Having been charged with murder, he was remanded into custody after a judge found he was a "substantial risk" to the public, especially lone women.
Ms Aleena was an aspiring lawyer and had just started a new job at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Her family described her as a "carefree spirit, with the most caring heart" in a tribute following her death.
"She walked everywhere," the family said. "She put her party shoes in a bag and donned her trainers.
"Zara believed that a woman should be able to walk home."

Ms Aleena's murder led to more calls to end violence against women and girls.
Speaking outside court, Detective Chief Inspector David Whellams said Ms Aleena "had every right to feel safe" but "instead she was a victim of shocking violence".
"We are working tirelessly alongside communities and our partners to make sure women can feel safer, and crucially safer in our city," the senior Metropolitan Police officer said.
He described McSweeney - who will be sentenced on 14 December - as a "very dangerous individual".
'She had every right to feel safe', Met Police says
After the hearing, senior Crown prosecutor Olcay Sapanoglu said it was "clear that McSweeney was intent that night on finding a woman to attack".
"He sexually assaulted her, then brutally stamped on her several times before appearing to walk away," the prosecutor said.
"Moments later he returned, only to stamp on her several times more and then, finally, leaving her for dead.
"McSweeney did not display a shred of humanity towards Zara.
"Indeed, having completed his initial assault, he returned to inflict further injuries, leading to her death. At no stage during his police interviews did he express any sorrow for his actions."

Asimov's April/May 2010
Brian Bieniowski wrote the guest editorial and compared short stories to the B-side of old records -- something that will let you know if you want more of the artist.
Silverberg did Part 2 of Show not Tell.
I liked a lot of the stories in this issue:
"The Union of Soil and Sky" by Gregory Norman Bossert -- archeologists are looking for ancient civilizations on a foreign planet and find more than they expected.
"Mindband" by Pamela Sargent -- how does a reporter prove that a Pentagon contractor made a mistake that killed lots of people?
"Jackie's-Boy" by Steven Popkes -- a future Earth where plagues are everywhere and those that live are mutated. An elephant who can talk takes a boy with her to find other elephants (herd animals) and along the way find dragons.
"Adrift" by Eugene Fischer -- There's a new method of shipping over water: nodes go from one place to another and to platforms in the oceans. Kind of like containers that can run themselves. A group of children show up in a node at the platform but they'd been planning to get to the US, which would keep them. Will they have to go back to the danger of the Congo or on to the US? This story had to have been submitted well before the Haiti earthquake, but there is a part where the platform boss explains how they use the nodes to help disasters that strongly brought Haiti to my mind.
"They Laughed at Me in Vienna and Again in Prague, and Then in Belfast, and Don't Forget Hanoi! But I'll Show Them! I'll Show Them All, I Tell You!" by Tim McDaniel -- a mad scientist actually has valid projects but is laughed off the stage every time. Fortunately, his daughter is along.
"Pretty to Think So" by Robert Reed -- the president broadcasts that everybody must start east immediately. He won't tell why, but at the White House, they say it's a comet. It's an asteroid. It's aliens. What is it really? And how do our viewpoint family get away?


"It's not self help, it's self create… reach inside, craft your calm"
Gratitude: It's part of all our lives. The power of a 'thank you' can get you far! As children we were taught it as good manners. 'What do you say…?' It doesn't really matter if you mean it. But did this do gratitude a disservice? We knew it was right, good and polite. As with many things we're taught as children, it begins in teaching cause and effect. Which can slip into learned behaviour, a habit.
Someone helps you. Someone does something nice for you, the correct and sociable response is 'thank you'.
But that doesn't really respect the deeper meaning of gratitude or the power it has to craft calm.
I first came to gratitude about ten years ago and rather than it being a way to craft calm, I found it out of desperation. Today gratitude is a buzz word. It's happily starting to reach into culture and consciousness.
But then I didn't call it gratitude. Every night before I went to bed, I began keeping a diary. I needed to because I was in a dark place. I'd miscarried and every month came and went without any life changing toilet trips.
Something I was looking forward to the following day.
I realised it was helping and I clung to it. It really helped to lift me out of those dark days.
Since then and the cancer diagnoses I've had a vested interest in living a happier, more fulfilled life. So I read a lot and you just can't get away from gratitude as a route to happiness.
You need to fill your diary. Sometimes there's nothing to put in and so you have to get creative. Craft some gratitude. What do you have? Did you take something for granted. Could you adjust your view on something? Could something have gone a lot worse?
You start to look for things.
Positive moments don't float past unnoticed.
Moments – like not losing your keys down a storm drain – start to take on a magical quality.
A gratitude diary gives you a reason to stop, pause, experience the moment instead of it rushing by.
It shakes up our sense of entitlement.
Start to look and you'll find it everywhere.
Take note of every throw away thank you. Are you truly thankful? Is it something you can add to your calm cache of good things that go on.
It can help to shift and eventually transform a life dismorphia.
If you're in a light place, this can all seem too airy fairy. Too simple. Undynamic. Totes emosh.
I believe sometimes folks need to be in a dark place in order to grow. That's when this might be just what you need to pull yourself outta there.
But (and I'll say it again) it's a skill. It takes practice. And it's worth it. Your calm will thank you. Genuinely.
