This May Fab Bag is different from rest of the Fab Bags, I have been receiving till now. This is a beautiful transparent summer bag with a net cross design in a cool orange shade. This is the first time the bag is designed in a net pattern and I am quite loving it. Lets take a look at the products of this Fab Bag May 2016.
Nyassa Tea Tree Face Wash – Rs 300/- for 145 ml.
Seasoul Dual Eyeshadow Palette – Rs 900/- for full size.
Inveda Sunscreen Cream Gel SPF 30 – Rs 225/- for 75 ml.
The Nature's Co White Tea Night Cream – R 895/- for 50 ml.
This transparent fab bag of this summer month contains a sunscreen from Inveda. I am happy to get this sunscreen this time, since we simply cannot step out these months without sun protection. I have used Inveda BB Cream before and liked it over all other BB Creams and quite excited to try this non sweaty sunscreen with SPF 30. The best part is its suitable for all skin types including the oily skin like mine. Its very difficult to find the right sunscreen for oily skin because most of them tend to be greasy and nothing can be worst than a greasy thick sunscreen on oily skin in summers. But this one seems to be light and matte as per the claims and is already in my trial shelf for tomorrow, to deal with these sweaty summers.
I think this Tea Tree Face Wash was specially sent keeping this summer month in consideration. There is so much oil production these months resulting into acne pimples and zits on skin. Tea Tree oil works wonderfully in controlling all these skin problems and this comes a great cleanser for these summer months. Though people with dry skin would want to skip this, since this might end up leaving their look even more drier and thus they should consider trying some other facial cleansers for dry skin.
Last but not the least comes this Nature's Co White Tea Night Cream. I am not very much fond of using night creams in summer months because most of them leave the skin greasy and I simply avoid the slightest of greasy stuff these summer months, but I am quite sure this one would be different in this case since Fab Bag Team always takes care of the season while sending the products.
This was all about this month's Fab Bag May 2016 and its products. I hope you liked the review. Would soon be updating the individual reviews, till then check out other summer posts. For those who are new to Fab Bag, its a monthly makeup beauty products stuffed bag which comes as a surprise every month with tons of offers and contests. If you haven't already subscribed to it, then go ahead and do it right away.

A band of pilgrims at the fantastic Albergue O Recuncho Do Peregrino. I had planned on getting up at 6.30 for breakfast and an early start, but I decided to hold off till the more reasonable hour of 7.30 and so I got to join a lively lovely band of Spanish pilgrims. Even though I could barely speak their language, one of the group Antonio, who was a delight, translated for me and them. We had a lively breakfast. Then it was time to go.
Just said goodbye to Miguel and the band of pilgrims. I was to see them on and off over the rest of the day and one last time in Santiago…but more about that later. Aww I'm going to miss Miguel, he was genuinely lovely person. What a great host.
By 08:30 I was on my way and at Miguel's suggestion I stopped at the roadside café; Conchas del Camino, just 250 meters up the road from the albergue, and had my passport stamped, a cup of coffee and a chat then started my walk into Arcade – Destination today is Caldas de Reis. 35 kms or so. 😱😱😱 I'm feeling very emotional today. I cried a lot today. I've only got 3 days left till I reach Santiago. It's too soon. I'm loving this journey.
Crossing back over the N550 'Precaucion Interseccion' I set off somewhat lighter than the last few days…Pepe had been left behind at the albergue for transport with Tuitrans to my motel in Caldas de Reis. I'm missing him already 😉 No not really.
At some point I decided to phone ahead to the Motel to let them know that I was sending my backpack with Tuitrans and my eta.
But the lass who answered the phone had no English and I had my minimal Spanish. So I hurried into an hotel nearby; Hotel Duarte on the Rua das Lameiriñas, and asked if anyone could speak Spanish…no!! Panic. I had asked the lady in my best mix of Italian and Spanish "excusi Senora una momento grazie", so the poor girl was still holding on. Then in my best South African voice I yelled "does anyone here speak Spanish?" to which a young man in the garden in front of me replied, "I don't, but you see that lady walking there (in the distance), she does". He yelled after her, she stopped, he explained, I ran, she indicated 'slow down', so in my best hobble I caught up with her, explained the situation, handed her the phone and she spoke to the ever patient lady at the motel and explained what I had wanted to tell them. Whew. Panic over LOL Lesson #1 – learn the language. Tut tut. I had been lazy.
Not too long after that, I reached Pontesampaio, already in the municipality of Pontevedra. Its Roman bridge used to have 10 arches, although the current bridge dates from medieval times. It crosses the River Verdugo and played a key role in the battles that ended the French occupation in the 19th century. Nearby, you can find the river beach and several miradors over the Ría de Vigo. Oh I wish I had time to explore!
Tah dah!! Puente Sampaio Bridge the 10-arch Roman bridge (what you see today is the medieval structure), crossing the river Verdugo. Finally!
This was one of my 'must see' points along the Camino and I was delighted to finally be there. It is stunning. I diverted off the road and onto the wooden platform that runs alongside the river and approached the bridge from that angle. Apparently Arcade was the setting for an important battle during the Napoleonic Wars. Between June 7 and June 9 in 1809, The Battle of Puente Sampaio was fought at the mouth of the Verdugo River. Wow, talk about walking in the footsteps of history.
Arcade is a pretty little town with houses scattered across the hill tops and along the slopes down into the town. Walking across the bridge was exhilarating and we're still on the Via Romano XIX. Just mind-blowing to think that this was once a Roman route.
Needless to say I took lots of photos.
And then, once over the bridge we were suddenly in the Concello de Pontevedra.
After Arcade the route once again had us climbing a mountain. Camino Xacobeo Portugues.
From here we went up and up and up and up and then down and down and down, along narrow lanes between gorgeous houses, a number of hórreo – practically every house had one. Along gravel paths amongst fields of bamboo, shady trees, and vineyards. We passed another scallop shell installation and climbed some hellish boulder-strewn paths.
See this path with the large rocks, well just behind me was a lady on a mobility scooter. Two gentlemen were carrying her and all their equipment up the mountain and over all that. I can't comprehend that. I just complemented them and said "bravo", buen camino.
On top of this hill (mountain) at the 72.020 kms to Santiago marker, there was a table set out with some gentlemen giving information and selling trinkets and fruit. I bought an apple and they reliably informed me that it's all downhill from here and 7 kms to Pontevedra. Hurrah. Lunch. They also told me about a tiny church at the bottom of the route where I should stop to stamp my passport.
Finally, now we're below 70kms; just 69.971 kms to Santiago. I was getting really excited now. The k's were flying by and I eagerly awaited each marker along the way.
And there it was; Capela de Santa Marta c1617, just like he said it would be. A number of pilgrims were standing in a queue waiting to enter and stamp their passports, so I joined the back and eventually made my way in. It was simply beautiful. I did feel for the local lady sitting at the front, clearly in quiet contemplative prayer, her peace disturbed by all these noisy pilgrims in and out. I made a point of leaving a donation at every church where I got my passport stamped and always bought coffee or food of some sort at any café where I got my passport stamped.
I crossed paths with a group of pilgrims from the UK and struck up a conversation with a gentleman; Gregory. We enjoyed a most interesting conversation right along the diversion chatting about Geoffrey Chaucer, the Canterbury Tales, the Camino and walks in the UK. It seems his mother named him Gregory after Pope Gregory. How cool. The time passed quickly and my mind was diverted from the pain in my ankle.
Once we reached the edge of Pontevedra I decided to stop for a rest at Taperia Casa Pepe, something to drink and a pee. Not in that order. LOL The best part of the day. Super Bock. I'm having the Negra today. It's delicious. Quite strong and should go some way to numbing the pain. My poor poor feet. 22 kms to go to Caldas de Reis 😱😱😱 Sending Pepe (my backpack) ahead with Tuitrans, although really hard to let it go, was the best decision I've made so far.
Not long after that, and there were a lot of pilgrims. The route got really busy from here onwards and I was seldom alone for long. I also bumped into the band of pilgrims from breakfast 🙂 Awesome.
Then finally the city of Pontevedra. With the River Lérez at its feet, Pontevedra has been given many international awards for urban planning due to revitalisation in recent years and the prioritisation of pedestrians over cars. The old town is considered the second most important old town in Galicia after Compostela where you will find the church of the Virxe da Peregrina, and many small and lively squares: Praza da Ferrería, Praza da Leña and Praza da Verdura. I spent about an hour in this lovely city.
I stopped at the chapel of the Virgen Peregrina; Capilla de la Virgen Peregrina de Pontevedra, circa 1753, an absolutely beautiful church with many reference to Saint James; scallop shells; symbol of the pilgrims adorned just about everything. I spent quite some time here, had my passport stamped and bought a memento. Afterwards I sat outside on a stone bench just resting and looking – it's so beautiful. As was the day.
I loved the ancient architecture of Pontevedra.
Soon it was time to push on. I will however definitely plan this as one of my sleep overs when I walk the Camino Portugues again in 2021.
decisions! which way to go to Santiago…..
The first references for this bridge date from 1165 , when the kings Fernando II of León and Galiza and Afonso de Portugal signed a peace accord. Ponte de Burgo crosses the river Lérez near the estuary, a 60 km river born in Serra do Candán. What a thrill to finally see this bridge. I had seen so many images on Facebook, and now I was here!!
Crossing this bridge was really exciting. I was nearly half way to Caldas de Reis and just 63.183 kms to Santiago. By now I had walked 14.69 kms over 6 hours including rest stops.
Located in the parish of Alba, an area through which the Camino Portuguese passes, the place is known as Guxilde. In days gone by it housed a large number of pilgrims, one of whom was the Queen of Portugal, Doña Isabel, who in the year 1325, made a pilgrimage to Santiago to pray for her late husband. The little statue is D. Juan Lopez Souto, a parish priest. I sat for a while and kept him company, wondering what he saw with his stare.
One thing for sure, the ever changing terrain kept you on your toes….
I was shattered by this stage and still had quite a way to go. I could quite easily have just curled up in a ball and slept….. 54.786 kms to Santiago. Whew.
slowly slowly the km's went down down down….
My excitement levels escalated exponentially and suddenly I was infused with a renewed energy; Santiago 🙂 I cheered.
After safely negotiating this horrible road, the N550, the path steered into a vineyard. As I walked along the dusty path between rows of vines hung with thick juicy red grapes that smelled like thick syrupy juice, I saw what I though looked like a small snake on the path ahead of me. As the thought went through my head that it looked like a snake, it moved. IT WAS A SNAKE. I ran. I was exhausted. But I ran. I didn't even stop to take a photo for proof, I just ran LOL Up until that very second it hadn't entered my head that there were snakes in Spain!! I mean seriously?? Why wouldn't there be? It's a hot sunny country. After I recovered my equilibrium I continued on my way, somewhat more alert now. Just beyond that I happened upon an elderly couple snipping bunches of grapes off their vines. I greet them "ola, buenas dias" and was rewarded with a reply in English 🙂 Seems their daughter lived in London and the lady had been over to England for 6 years…hence her English. We exchanged stories and they offered me a bunch of those heavenly grapes. Oh yes please, gracias. 🙂 They tasted as amazing as what they smelled.
my heavenly bunch of sweet, juicy grapes.
After my brief encounter with the snake I decided that there would be no more visits to the bushes LOL. My bladder would have to wait.!!
46.787 kms to Santiago – As I approached Caldas de Reis I started to see more and more suburban habitation. I passed a tiny little church; Capela de Santa Lucia and a farmer on his tractor. There were more and more scallop shells to be seen.
Days end. Time 20:20 and after a very very long day of approx 32 kms I literally staggered into Caldas de Reis as the sun set. Not a recommended distance if you want to be able to walk the next day.
Thankfully I only have 19 kms to Padron tomorrow.

Dr. Michael Burry predicts a crash in passive investments
Sep 06 2019 | Hilliard MacBeth
Dr. Michael Burry, the lead protagonist in the movie "The Big Short" and successful speculator during the 2009 Global Financial Crisis, has called out the passive investing fad as a bubble that will end in a crash.
He says that "the longer it goes on, the worse the crash will be".
Will the passive investing fad end in a crash?
Source: Vanity Fair
I wrote about the passive investment strategy, that uses exchange-traded funds (ETF), in March 2019 in the note titled, "Hidden Risks of ETF investing" where I outlined the dangers of the passive strategy and concluded that when the trend reverses there will be opportunities again for value investors.
I agree with Dr. Burry that the demise of the ETF fad will be a significant negative event for markets. It's likely that it will happen during the next bear market. Because ETFs promise liquidity but cannot deliver on that promise when many people want to get out of their investments, the crisis in ETFs will be a major crisis for the markets.
Here's a quick reminder on who Michael Burry is. In the Big Short movie (his character was played by Christian Bale) he sat barefoot in in his office listening to loud music and beating drums while he fought with Wall Street and waited for his bets against sub-prime-related investments to pay off. He had been a neurologist but quit that profession to become a full-time investor.
He had heated confrontations with investors in his fund who had lost patience waiting for the housing market to crash and wanted to get their investments back. One of his very first large investors was Gotham Partners, which is run by Joel Greenblatt, the creator of "Magic Formula Investing". Greenblatt flew out to California and demanded his $100 million back from the fund, threatening to sue Burry. In the book by Michael Lewis, also called "The Big Short", Burry was described as under enormous pressure. Burry knew that the housing market and the derivatives based on mortgages would crash eventually and had placed large bets that would make billions of dollars when that crash came. Burry stuck it out and became rich and famous by surviving the pressure and giving his investors billions in profits. They did not thank him.
Now Burry is taking another bold stand, and he won't be thanked by the investment industry this time either. According to the Bloomberg article published this week.
Burry says that index funds and ETFs are like Collateralized Debt Obligations or CDOs, that figured so prominently in the sub-prime mortgage collapse. The similarity is because inflows into ETFs are governed by mathematical models of risk, not fundamental security analysis. In other words, computer algorithms are programmed to invest in capitalization-weighted index funds without examining the risk that the "herding" effect creates for the market.
The debate will rage on until the next bear market in stocks.
At that time, Dr. Burry will probably be proven correct in his assessment that ETFs have created massive distortions in the market. And the ETF passive strategy will fail to deliver for investors, like so many other strategies that promise an easy path to investing success.
There is no substitute for the hard work of fundamental analysis and careful selection of securities that will succeed. Value investing will make a comeback when the passive investing fad ends with a crash.

CEMP Camers Network,
Objective. To investigate the qualitative changes in the habitats of two most common species penguin populations in the Wilhelm Archipelago Pygoscelis papua and P. adeliae (Spheniscidae) penguins in the CCAMLR Subarea 48.1 under the impact of climate changes and krill fishery. Methods. The new method of time-lapse camera registration to observe the breeding success of penguins was applied to minimize the effect of human disturbance on the breeding and survival of chicks and to avoid disturbance of penguins. Installed in penguin colonies cameras were used to record next parameters: arrival to colony, copulation, egg lay, hatch and crèche. This method was introduced for the first time in the framework of the international CEMP project "Establishing a CEMP Camera Network in Subarea 48.1". More than five years' timeline of the project is expected. The traditional visual observation of penguin colonies from time to time has been used as well. Results. Over the last decade, P. papua has been shifted nearly 30 km southward and formed six new nesting colonies. Annual breeding success of P. papua on Petermann Island has ranged from 0.87 to 1.58 chicks crèche per nest over the nine seasonal observations during 2003—2017. 1.27 chicks per nest was found in 2016/17 season; a low breeding success rate in comparison to most of other seasons. The breeding success of P. adeliae was more stable ranging from 1.11 to 1.42 over the six seasonal observations; with highest in 2003/04. The range of prey for P. papua was studied. Conclusions. Changes in the penguin species habitat have been observed on the territory of the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was established that at the beginning of the ХХІ century the nesting areas of P. papua was significantly extended probably due to the climate warming in the region. It was shown that P. papua is more ecologically plastic species than P. adeliae. It is well know that the breeding success of predators such as penguins can be used as an indication of the status of lower trophic levels. Since, the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (Euphausiidae) is the main feeding object of the both penguin species diet (84%) in the Wilhelm Archipelago area, we propose a model of key elements for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the changes in the krill- based ecosystem of the Argentine Islands. Future development of the penguin nesting colonies monitoring using the CEMP Camera Network under the CCAMLR will contribute significantly to the real-time estimates of relative prey availability. The results of the gentoo and Adelie penguin's chronology and breeding success studies might be used (1) in development of the krill fishery management strategy in the CCAMLR for the rational use of Antarctic marine living resources; (2) to develop a resettlement model to predict the ecological risks due to climate changes for both penguin species.

The Bova Marina Synagogue is the second oldest synagogue uncovered in Italy and one of the oldest in Europe.

The synagogue is located in Bova Marina, Calabria. Bova Marina means "Bova by the sea", in Italian. Only the Ostia Synagogue is older. The remains of the Bova Marina synagogue were unearthed in 1983 during road construction. The site features a mosaic floor with the image of a menorah and accompanying images of a shofar and a lulav to the right and an etrog on the left. In addition, there are other decorative motifs such as Solomon's Knots. There is also a wall niche thought to once contain Torah scrolls.

The synagogue was built in the 4th century with renovations dating to the 6th century. There appears to be an older structure beneath the site but trying to reach it would require destroying the ruins. The synagogue is a basilica-style building that resembles the Byzantine synagogues of the Galilee.
The building is oriented to south-east. The synagogue appears to have ceased functioning around the year 600 when the entire area seemed to have been abandoned. In addition to the site itself, many artifacts have been discovered such as amphora handles with menorah impressions and three thousand bronze coins.

In January 2011, Calabrian newspapers reported increase funding of 600,000 Euros for restoration of the Bova Marina archaeological park. The restoration is part of a regional plan to increase tourism. The project also calls for the opening of a museum to display Jewish artifacts excavated from the site.

Local rabbi Barbara Aiello conducts tours to the site as well as other Jewish heritage sites in southern Italy.

The ancient Jewish community of Calabria is one of the oldest in Europe.

Why Did Teaching Become a Pink Ghetto?
Most public-school teachers are women. And they're still fighting for the fair pay and respect that feminists rallied for more than a century and a half ago.
Now that the back-to-school rush is over, those of us who aren't students, educators, or parents of students likely stop paying much attention to what's going on in public classrooms. But before we close the school doors for another year, we should take a minute to ponder this simple statistics problem. Of approximately 3.4 million American public-school teachers, what fraction are women? Quick answer: about three quarters. Longer answer: It depends. Before high school, there's somewhere between a 75 and 85 percent chance that a child's teacher will be female, and about a similar chance that she'll be white. In 2012, a hair over 98 percent of preschool and kindergarten teachers were women. More men enter the picture as children get older, until high school, when about 42 percent of high-school teachers are men (by contrast, the numbers of African- American and Latino teachers drop to about half the levels in the elementary grades.). This gender situation hasn't changed much in almost two centuries, and the numbers are similar in private schools. Statistically speaking, in the United States, women are teachers and teachers are women. But what does this mean for women?
Even when we're paying attention, we tend not to ask this question. Instead, we want to know what this gender imbalance means for boys and men. Why don't more men go into teaching, especially at the elementary level? Just last week, the New York Times ran a Sunday Review article asking just that question, rehearsing two familiar ideas: that boys need male role models in the classroom (an idea that the article acknowledges "underscores gender stereotypes"); and the more pernicious issue of status, a vicious cycle by which female-dominated jobs get less respect, and therefore attract fewer and fewer men. But perhaps those dominant women should be at the center of this story? Women who don't teach, but do vote, should remember that when politicians and education reformers rail against "bad teachers," demanding accountability and an end to union protections, the targets of their attacks are disproportionately women. When they talk about teacher layoffs and school closures, they're talking about putting hundreds or thousands of women out of work.
When did we get so used to the idea that teachers are female, and, by extension, that teaching is a low-status profession? In her enlightening new book The Teacher Wars, education journalist Dana Goldstein shows that this was not always the case. In early America, classrooms were makeshift and an afterthought. Outside the wealthier New England enclaves, children who were old enough to learn to read and write were old enough to help out in the family business of survival. But by the turn of the 19th century, more reformers and civic leaders, usually churchmen, started to advocate for more widespread educational opportunity—although then as now, they met with resistance from those who didn't want to pay higher taxes. Schools were locally organized and left to town councils, churches, or charities to run. The main job of a teacher was to keep order, and unlike today, nearly every teacher was a man.
But once teaching had been established as a respectable way for women to earn a little money (and perhaps dodge an unwanted marriage), its professional injustice began to turn those women into activists and feminists. Susan B. Anthony began teaching at 18, was the head of girls' education at a large academy by age 26, and realized she preferred money and independence to marriage and babies. By 1848, pay inequality and the impossibility of rising any higher in her school (her boss was a 19-year-old man) drove her out of teaching and on to Seneca Falls. She made her first public speech at a meeting of the New York State Teachers' Association in 1853, where she argued that teachers would never be as widely respected as doctors or lawyers as long as those professions were closed to women, and teachers were paid a pittance—arguments that are still being made today.
Anthony's famous activism was matched over and over again by other women whose first experience of work, public speaking, and something like independence came in a classroom. Goldstein tells the story of Belva Lockwood, widowed as a young woman, who supported herself by teaching and became furious at being paid less than her male counterparts, and went on to earn a law degree, argue in front of the Supreme Court (the first woman to do so), and run twice for president. During the Civil War and Reconstruction, when the question of education for African Americans was fiercely contested, teaching turned women into activists and pioneers. It was both an inevitable career path and a missionary calling for a woman like Charlotte Forten, a wealthy, free-born, educated black woman who during the Civil War traveled south to teach formerly enslaved pupils, from toddlers to grandmothers, how to read and write.
Teachers' unions, the current target of so much political ire, also owe their existence to women politicized and goaded to action by injustice. The first such union, the Chicago Teachers Federation, was a combative organization founded in 1897 and headed up by the formidable Maggie Haley, a teacher since the age of 16. Its fights sound depressingly familiar—Haley's first goal was to get her state to close corporate tax loopholes and pursue tax-dodging businesses to fund the schools adequately and stop teachers having to fight for every tiny wage increase. Dubbed the "lady labor slugger," Haley fought the complacent myth that women in the classroom were mothers or missionaries, led there by duty and therefore obedient to authority. Today, despite the disproportionate ire that they draw from the right, unions protect only seven percent of American workers. The current president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, therefore understands some of the tide of attacks on teachers' unions as rooted in envy; as she explains to Goldstein, they can look like "islands of privilege" to other unemployed or unprotected workers. But women workers are already underpaid and likely to be juggling part-time, low-status jobs without benefits. Seen from the perspective of the alternatives, unionized public school teaching seems like it should be a coveted, high-status job in this economy.
But those qualifiers—unionized, public school—are major ones, at least since the wholehearted embrace of high-stakes testing by education reformers since the early 1980s, and the more recent embrace of charter schools. Diane Ravitch, the former Bush-administration advocate of No Child Left Behind, has turned her back on the concepts that guided that reform movement, and is now crusading to do something that a few decades ago seemed unthinkable: save public schools from disappearing, sinking in the waves of the charter-school movement that takes public money without any of the accountability of public schools to keep struggling kids enrolled, to answer to voters, or to offer teachers job protections. People like Bill Gates, with deep pockets and big ideas, are fond of explosive reforms that ignore the dull, everyday realities of teaching and social change: that a mythical great teacher can't inspire a kid out of poverty overnight, and that systemic social problems aren't as easily disruptable as business gurus want to believe.
There's a vast mismatch between our lofty goals for public school—lifting children out of poverty, turning them into leaders, teaching them to dream big—and our micro-managing methods—endless tests, evaluations, and paperwork. The teachers Goldstein interviews in classrooms from Newark to Los Angeles are frustrated by the administrative demands on their time and by the disrespect and suspicion with which they're treated; many of them also wish that there was more time to develop kids' creativity or challenge them intellectually. The recent emphasis, in the Obama administration's Race to the Top program, on tying student test scores to individual teachers, flies in the face of some of the best current research that the best way to help teachers improve is to allow them to collaborate, share ideas and lesson plans, and watch each other teach. It may be an essentialist step too far to suggest that this kind of collaborative approach is one that women would be especially good at. But it's certainly clear from Goldstein's book that teachers' intelligence and experience are routinely dismissed in favor of top-down, radical reform agendas. In the far-from-radical words of Christina Jean, a social studies teacher turned instructional coach, teaching should be a profession that is "challenging and stimulating to adults"—an aim that harkens all the way back to Catharine Beecher's desire for intellectually stimulating classrooms. Teaching and its current battles are a reminder that the most basic feminist goal, that women will be taken seriously as intelligent adults and trusted to do a good job, is still a long way out of reach.

I am a strong supporter of looping.
When this school year started, I knew I had my work cut out for me. Unfortunately, during the previous year, the second grade teacher was overwhelmed and had numerous personal problems. Moreover, the students were considered unmanageable and difficult. The saddest part was these students who were the most needy, received the least. They were not ready for third grade.
With each passing day (well, sometimes a day felt like a week) progress happened. I worked on solidifying gaps in their foundations, remediating weaknesses and showering them with enthusiasm and laughter. My third graders who couldn't write a sentence in September, learned to write multi-paragraph compare and contrast essays. The art, music, gym, computer teachers couldn't get over the change in their conduct from last year. Success was contagious.
Here is the best news of all. They're mine next year. Granted this wasn't a big surprise – not with my persuasive skills! Once, I knew they were mine next year for fourth grade, I reduced the internal pressure I placed upon myself and maybe inadvertently, on them. Now, as this year winds down, I've been reflecting on what worked and what didn't. I know what I need to do differently or change based on their needs.
I can't wait for September. When we return, I know it will seem as if only a weekend has passed. The students and I will resume the routines, expected behaviors, and we will easily slip into the new challenges for the school year. I know them and they know me. Furthermore, the parents know me. All of us will have the benefit of established trust and can savor the saved time. Looping is a gift.
I bet your students are as happy as you are! I can't wait to hear how it goes next year.
And I'm so glad you were able to bring them so far in such a short time--they're lucky to have you again next year!

That's quite a question Jean . . . thanks. I am busy writing a post on the subject, and should have it up in a day or two.


Jamie: It took a lot of planning. I wanted it to be somewhere special to both of us. I've been coming to campus since I was three and we kind of grew up here together.
Shaaba: Honestly I had no idea! The number 17 is a special number for me, and for two months he kept doing cute things on the 17th of the month. I just thought he was being a good boyfriend.
I think the most important things are love, courage and understanding.
I just did it for me; it was what I wanted to do.


Kickass Female twist to the Arthurian legend? In the present? YES PLEASE! The Once and Future Queen lives up to that idealism and exceeds it. The narrative introduces many different elements that make it inclusive and fresh. The characters are diverse racially, sexually, age-wise, and gender-wise. Moreover, the story itself shows a learning curve for the characters, from the parents to the Arthurian reincarnations. To adapt to the changes, they all go through different acclimatization methods. This story is one of the most dynamic ones I've read this year, and it's an amazing recreation of the Arthurian narrative.
Instead of replacing the original story and characters, the writers create a story where the Arthurian narrative is retold in the present day, bringing with it contemporaneous idealisms. However, not all of the members of the roundtable are present. Still, the characters exist within a context: they have families. For example, their parents are involved and care about their children's well-being. The narrative is a queer one without the typical tropes undermining characters and subject development. Moreover, healthy communication balances the adventure. This balance creates a narrative that is hard to put down.
As with all comics, art and style are very important. They balance the verbal element and enhance the narrative. All this is true for The Once and Future Queen and more. The art fits the mood of the narrative well at every twist and turn. Also, the art and style enhance the page by page parallel of sweet art representing the open communication and the brutal art of the action sequences. These moments were my favourite because it reminds the reader that silence is toxic.
Buy it! I really enjoyed The Once and Future Queen, and I'm looking forward to the second installment. The narrative shows how well diversity plays into a recreation of a narrative without replacing the original tale. The main character is a WOC, and bisexuality and asexuality are represented. The action sequences are interspersed with healthy communication. This interspersion produces a polyamorous relationship. Also, the art fits the mood of the narrative and balances the verbal elements of the comic. In short, The Once and Future Queen is a mind-blowingly amazing comic. I am very excited for the continuation of the story.
The comic will be available in comic shops on Nov. 1 and on Amazon on Nov 14.

Nature Expeditions :: Articles :: What's in Phil's wildlife photography kit bag?
So this is my nature photography kit. You're going to have to read through my complete thought process here to fully understand why I've chosen these lenses. I obviously start with the lenses, as the glass is by far the most important equipment in photography. My kit is emphasised in bold type. I also list everything at the bottom of the page.
I don't like to have to carry too much kit. I don't like to carry too much anything! Carrying less is always my first priority when hiking out. Although not taking the picture because I left my kit behind defeats the objective, I therefore carry general purpose zooms rather than a sack full of primes. In the old days we always considered a prime lens to be sharper than a zoom lens, sharpness is no longer so definitive in newer Canon EF L-series primes and zooms. There are other reasons I'd want to use primes though, they are usually faster (have a wider aperture) than their zoom counterparts allowing action-stopping shutter speeds to be used in low-light situations, also allowing excellent subject isolation by blurring the distracting background. I'll come back to my prime lenses a little later.
I choose Canon EF L-series zooms for their versatility, quality, and because of their weather sealing (so important when out in the wild). Image stabilization is very important for me, which rules out the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens, its price and 82mm filter also deters me from this, but I'm sacrificing the fast f/2.8 by not choosing that. So for my general purpose zoom I could have chosen the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens but I chose the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM as my primary walk-around, travel and general purpose lens. These are both great lenses and for most, there is no wrong decision to be made here. But for wildlife, having the extra 35mm of focal length range on the long end is the selling point for me, I have this 35mm overlap in my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM (The Ultimate Zoom Lens), but overlap is nice to have and means I don't have to change lenses at 70mm to the much heavier EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.
For my telephoto primes I use the Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM lens mostly because it is an amazing performer. The extreme light weight of this lens (relative to its focal length and aperture) allows easy hand-holding, and reduces fatigue when carrying for long periods of time. I often completely remove the mount and hood to make it even lighter (lens-flare doesn't occur). My biggest lens is the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM. The 600mm f/4L IS II with the 1.4x extender mounted behind it has slightly better image quality, has a slightly longer focal length, is slightly less expensive, is slightly lighter, has a much shorter minimum focal distance and higher MM than the Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM lens, so why buy the 800mm! As I've just mentioned I use the Canon EF 1.4x III Extender. Use of the 1.4x creates a still tiny and ultralight 560mm f/5.6 IS when mounted on my Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM lens. Furthermore, I prefer to use my big lenses on my APS-C/1.6x sensor format Canon EOS 70D DSLR camera rather than on my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with full-frame sensor. With my Canon EOS 70D my EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM lens becomes a 640mm f/4 IS with a 20.2 megapixel sensor. To get that same magnification using my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV 30.4 MP sensor I would have to crop it later in Photoshop to leave me with a similar-looking image but made of only 13 megapixels. Of-course I can use my 1.4x extender mounted on my Canon EOS 70D with my EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM lens which then becomes a 896mm f/5.6 IS with a 20.2 megapixel sensor. The Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM is the longest focal length Canon lens available with an f/4 max aperture. And the only longer Canon lens is the Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM lens. But as I've already mentioned with my Canon Extender EF 1.4x III attached, the 600 L IS II even beats this lens at an equivalent f/5.6 max aperture focal length of 840mm. When I use the 600mm on my Canon EOS 70D with its APS-C censor I get 960mm framing equivalency f4. Add the 1.4 extender and I get a whopping 1344mm f5.6 with 20.2 megapixels.
For my smaller focal length primes I am not going to waste my time and money buying lenses that are not sharp enough, and I also demand action-stopping shutter speeds in low-light situations. So for these I use Sigma ART lenses simply because they are sharper, have f/1.4 apertures, and best-in-class image quality. They are not only sharper than Canon EF L-series primes they are much cheaper. The only sharper lenses than these are the Zeiss Otus lenses but they're much more expensive and are only slightly sharper at f/1.4. It's not a no-brainer though! Canon EF L-series lenses are much smaller, lighter, and have weather sealing. Some even have image stabilization. All of those things really matter to me and for those reasons I may yet purchase a Canon EF L-series lens as a landscape lens to carry in the mountains. For that the only 24mm prime lens with image stabilization is the expensive Canon EF 24mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. But of-course I don't need the image stabilization for landscapes taken on a tripod. And I get my 24mm in my Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM and having a tele-zoom for landscapes is invaluable. I'll also mention that if you're only doing landscape and not wildlife photography then you can save a lot of money by not buying the much more expensive faster lenses. I obviously use my lenses for both landscape and wildlife photography.
Back to primes. So for landscape, architectural, interior, night sky, and general wide-angle photography and also videography I use the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. Compared to the next-fastest Canon f/2.8 24mm lens options the f/1.4 aperture allows 4x as much light to reach the sensor, permitting subject and camera-shake-stopping fast shutter speeds even in low light and providing subject-isolating shallow depth of field. When used on my ASP-C/1.6x sensor Canon EOS 70D DSLR this lens' angle of view is similar to that of a 38.4mm lens on my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV 30.4 MP full-frame sensor, that's quite a standard lens for a crop-sensor, which is sometimes handy. Nevertheless I tend to keep my crop-sensor Canon EOS 70D for my telephoto lenses, and predominantly use these sharper lenses on my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to make good use of its 30.4 MP full-frame sensor. My other Sigma prime lens is the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. Simply because I sometimes want a pin-sharp 'Normal' focal length lens, which this is when mounted on my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV full-frame body. Don't use it much though, mainly because I don't want to carry it. It may be an unjustified purchase. When mounted on my Canon EOS 70D APS-C/1.6x body, a 50mm lens delivers an angle of view equivalent to an 80mm lens on a full frame body, which becomes a nice portrait lens. I generally carry both of those full-frame and half-frame bodies with me so with these lenses I have all the focal lengths I need. Like I said these Sigma ART lenses are very large and heavy, they are also not weather sealed, so I only usually carry them out when I know I might need them.
I don't yet have a macro lens, I have always said I'd buy one, but I fear that even if I did I wouldn't want to carry the extra weight. If I were to get one it would be the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro lens. But guess what! The one thing you don't need to buy for macro photography is a macro lens! I use Canon EF AF-compatible extension tubes with my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens, which is pin-sharp in the centre where it's needed. I use the tubes with the other lenses too. When used on my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM tele-zoom I can achieve near perfect close-ups which have depth of field, so getting whole insects and the like in focus in one rapid shot. Not as nicely as focus stacking achieves but focus stacking can't be done on moving subjects whereas this method can. Whilst the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM + extension tube combination isn't a true macro with a 1:1 reproduction ratio, it's an excellent lens for macro insect and flower photography.
All of my lenses use 77mm screw-on filters (other than the 400mm and 600mm telephotos which use 52mm drop-in filters at the back), and I use Hoya 77mm HD UV filters on the front of each to weather seal them. These have ultra thin, hard glass, which has self-cleaning, aqua-phobic coatings. I carry a single Hoya 77mm Circular Polarizing CPL HD Digital Glass filter, and 77mm drop-in neutral density and graduated filters on the front, which I share between all lenses.
Before I get on to my other kit I especially want to mention my Peak Design Capture Camera Clip with PRO Plate Pro-Quality Camera Carrying Solution. I actually use two of these at the same time, one on my hip the other on my backpack's shoulder strap. At £70 each you might say it's not worth it, but I can assure you it is. Over the years I've tried all types of camera slings and quick-release carrying devices, none have been very successful. The Capture Camera Clip by Peak Design is the only real choice in my opinion to carry a camera, even with my 400mm attached for quick deployment in the field. The cheapest prices I have found are £65 at PARKCameras.
Other kit I usually carry includes a Canon angle finder for when using cameras in awkward places, Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT Flashes + mounting clamps, a waterproof anti-shock memory card storage case containing several Sandisk and Lexar SD cards & Compact Flash cards, a wallet containing spare camera batteries, cable releases and remote controls, a beanbag, a microphone, a car window mounting clamp for tripod-heads, a Benro Professional Dual Action Ballhead V2 I actually ordered a V3 from Benro in China but they sent the V2 in error, when I tried it I decided I liked it better than the heavier V3. I also have a Benro GH2C Carbon Fibre Gimbal for use with the 600mm, a 5 foot Innorel RT80C Carbon Fibre Tripod with angle adjusting legs and additional quick-adjust ball-bowl, and an Andoer L200 Arca Swiss Telephoto Lens Support which I seldom carry unless I need it.
As you've read in amongst the above paragraphs I carry two camera bodies - the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV for all my general photography and landscapes, and the Canon EOS 70D for wildlife photography using my big lenses. Canon have now replaced the 70D with the 80D but I feel the upgrade is not worth me changing to that. I have considered replacing my Canon EOS 70D with the Canon EOS 7D Mark II… You can read this decision process in another article - Should I replace my Canon EOS 70D with the Canon EOS 7D Mark II?
The latest addition to my camera kit is the Mavic Pro drone. I've wanted a drone to carry on my tours for some time now, but up until now they've all been awkward sizes and not practical to carry. They've also seemed to be somewhat problematic and difficult. I've done years of research into this and I decided that I'm not going to invest in one of these until someone produces a quality, reliable folding drone with decent battery-life. Well that drone is now here with the new Mavic Pro from DJI. The specifications for this are very impressive - The rotor-arms fold in for carriage making the folded dimensions: 83mm x 83mm x 198mm and weighing only 748g. It includes obstacle avoidance intelligence, a 12 MP 4K Camera mounted on a completely stabilized 3-axis gimbal, and 27 minutes flight-time per battery. I bought the Mavic Pro Fly More Combo which includes 3 batteries, a car charger and a carry case.
This topic has all been about the kit that I carry in my camera bag. I haven't mentioned my camera bag itself. That's because I don't really have one! As you know I'm a mountain guide and therefore I have specialist back-packs that I use on the mountain with other kit in them and I have no place for a dedicated camera bag. All of my mountaineering back-packs include a front access door so what I usually do is use a partition padded insert bag accessed through that front door. That essentially makes my back-pack into a camera bag. But as I've said throughout I really don't like to carry too much weight and so I quite often use even smaller padded insert bags just for a couple or three items. It's all dependent on what I need to do.
That might seem to you like a lot of kit for someone who hates carrying too much. Well this is the list of photography kit that I would take abroad on a shoot, not what I would be dragging up a mountain or through a jungle. I think too many cameras and lenses can get in the way of picture taking. Like I've tried to say a few times throughout this article - I carry only what I think I'll need on the day. Yes! Quite often I wished I hadn't left something behind. But you have to improvise with what you have with you, which is more often than not the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM or EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM on the Canon EOS 70D body and maybe the 24-105mm f/4L IS USM on the EOS 5D Mark IV body. I'd obviously never hike around with the heavy 600mm, that would only be used close to the ship or car or in a hide, and typically used with the gimbal on the tripod. I often hike without a tripod too. I've experimented with a smaller tripod, which is the subject of another article - Trying to make a light-weight travel tripod.

[What is k-means?](#about)
[Setup Process](#setup)
[API](#use)

##   What is k-means?

k-means is an npm module that utlizes python under the hood to give easy access to running a k-means clustering algorithm on your dataset. k-means exists on the npm registry under the name "k-means". The code can be seen at my k-means github repo. A demo application of the k-means clustering algorithm is forthcoming.

    npm install --save k-means

The algorithm in the lib folder uses unsupervised machine learning k-means algorithm to cluster similar data samples together.  The algorithm expects the data to be clustered to be structured as a matrix. This should be represented in JavaScript as a two-dimensional array: each inner-array is a sample of the data, while each element inside the inner-array is a feature of that sample. The features should line up accordingly. In other words, the 2nd feature of the 3rd sample should represent the same feature, as well as using the same units as, the 2nd feature of the 112th sample.

The number of desired clusters to cluster the data into should also be inputted. The algorithm divides the data into n distinct clusters.

Using the node.js command line interface, the underlying python engine can be launched as a child process, with the results streamed to node. These results are divided into various variables based on the type of data they hold, and a user can gain access to all this raw analysis.

##  Setup Process

To utilize the Product-Recommender NPM module, the first step would be to make sure one has successfully installed node.js, npm, and a python version of >= 2.7.  To install these items, I would recommend you check out http://nodejs.org/download/ and https://www.python.org/download/.

In addition to these prerequisites, you will need to install a few python modules: numpy and jsonpickle. For install instructions on numpy, please go to http://www.scipy.org/install.html. For jsonpickle, please look at http://jsonpickle.github.io/#download-install. Some more python modules used in this project are argparse, ast, math, and random, though these should be included in the Python Standard Library so there is likely no need to download these.

##  API

To use my k-means algorithm, first install k-means:

    npm install --save k-means

Then, require k-means in your js file. I'm going to use the variable 'cluster' to represent the k-means library

    var cluster = require('k-means');

cluster is a function that takes up to three arguments

### matrix (required)

As mentioned above, our matrix should be represented in JavaScript as a two-dimensional array: each inner-array is a sample of the data, while each element inside the inner-array is a feature of that sample. The features should line up accordingly. In other words, the 2nd feature of the 3rd sample should represent the same feature, as well as using the same units as, the 2nd feature of the 112th sample.

    var matrix = [[1, 1, 3], [4, 5, 1], [6, 5, 2]]

### options (optional)

Here, you can customize how you want your k-means clustering to run. Our options object can take up to two properties:

    var options = {
      clusters: 2 // number of clusters we want to cluster our data into. The default is 2. Sometimes, it is natural for one or more clusters to end up being excluded if they would not contain any data points.
      iterations: 10 // number of iterations we want our k-means to run. The higher the number, the potentially more accurate, but it might take longer. The algorithm will cut off early if clusters stay perfectly consistent between iterations.
    }

### callback (optional)

The results of the k-means clustering will be passed to a provided callback function

    var callback = function (results){
      console.log(results)
    }

The passed-in results object contains two pieces of data: finalMatrix and clusterCenters.

finalMatrix will be similar to your original matrix you passed in, except where each index in your original array is a sample of your data, each index of finalMatrix will be an array with two elements: the first one being the cluster that the sample is assigned to, the second being the sample itself. The order of samples will remain the same.

clusterCenters is an array of length = number of clusters, where each index is the center coordinates of that cluster. The index of clusterCenters matches up to the cluster number assigned to each sample in finalMatrix.

Women Scientists That Revolutionized Female Sexuality
Published: - Jan 05, 2022
The following female scientists helped thousands of women challenge the social norms around gender and sexuality, understand their bodies better, and get to know themselves better.
The Woman Post | Carolina Rodríguez Monclou
Here are six scientists and sex educators who provided valuable inputs to help women achieve orgasm and understand their bodies better.
Hildegard of Bingen
Hildegard promoted gender equality, denied that sexual pleasure was the fruit of sin, and argued that the blood that truly stained was not that of menstruation but that which was shed during wars. She was a woman far ahead of her time, primarily in her views on the importance of sexual gratification for women. Without fear of the patriarchal authority of the time, this nun made the first descriptions of the female orgasm, studied the sexual organs of male and female, and dared to state that pleasure, far from being the exclusive patrimony of men, was a matter of two.
Miriam Menkin
The scientist became the first person to fertilize a human egg in the laboratory. However, the success of Menkin, a graduate in histology and comparative anatomy, was a long-distance career. Many universities and laboratories did not admit women in her time, and others had a very small quota for them to participate as researchers. In 1994, alongside Dr. John Rock, Menkin announced that they completed a series of in vitro fertilization (IVF) experiments in the journal Science after six years of trying the procedure in their laboratory at the Free Hospital for Women in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Helen O'Connell
Helen O'Connell was not only the first Australian to specialize in urology. She also described the complete anatomy of the clitoris with all its elements in 1998. The doctor included the corpus cavernous as part of the pyramidal structure and linked its relationships with the urethra and vagina in her description. The only human organ designed for pleasure has been her obsession. The doctor has focused much of her research on studying the famous G-spot.

Helen S. Kaplan
In 1980, Kaplan began to talk about the Triphasic Model of human sexual response. Baptized with the name of its creator, the sexologist H. Kaplan, it is based on studying the different phases of the human sexual response in three periods divided into desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution. With this theory, she emphasizes the influence of the psychological aspect on the sexual experience. She also explained the desire functions as the stimulus before genital contact. Her contribution expanded the effectiveness of sex therapy, giving greater importance to the psychological aspects.
Shere Hite
The sex educator debunked myths about the female orgasm. For example, she explained that masturbation and the role of the clitoris are vital steps to reaching climax. Her research was crucial for sex therapy and female sexuality. Hite interviewed 3000 women and revealed that most don't orgasm from intercourse. As Psychology Today explains, "The Hite Report told women that it was normal to not orgasm during intercourse and that, instead, the vast majority of women need direct clitoral stimulation to orgasm."
Virginia E. Johnson
Virginia's field of research was physiology and sex therapy. She is considered the first woman to study sexual dysfunctions scientifically. Her efforts in her lab, analyzing heart rate and brain activity during sexual activity, broadened humanity's understanding of sexual pleasure and dysfunction. But it is also worth noting that thanks to her contributions, sexual therapy, and couples' therapy gained greater respectability in the clinical field.

Junior banker quits publicly after relentless work in lockdown
by Sarah Butcher 02 February 2021
An investment banking analyst and fledgling banking Youtube personality has decided to leave the banking industry, and says the relentlessness of work during lockdown is partly to blame.
As an employee in a client facing industry works, you're constantly on call, says Bryan Jun in a Youtube video posted to his channel last week. "You feel like you can't plan things ahead and there's not necessarily an incentive to get work done fast because there's always going to be more work," says Jun. This situation always exists in banking, but has been worsened by working from home, Jun adds. - It's important for banks to educate senior people so that they appreciate that "things don't have to get done right away," he says. "There is this relatively toxic mentality going around where things constantly need to be done, but people are going to burn out. We need to take a step back and let people have time off work. That's important - recharging is important."
Jun worked for Lincoln International in Chicago, the mid-market M&A where a junior banker died in 2018 after allegedly complaining about the long working hours. He joined Lincoln after graduating from Washington and Lee University.
In a previous video, Jun said it's a myth that bankers consistently work 100-hour weeks. - There's a definite culture in banking of saying, "Oh, I worked 130 hours last week," or, "Hey, I barely broke 90 hours this week," as if it's a kind of achievement to be unlocked, said Jun. In fact, he said hard work in banking is dependent on work flow and rarely involves the kind of hours implied in a 100-hour week (9am to 1am Monday to Thursday, 9am to 9pm Friday, and 24 hours over the course of a weekend).
So why did Jun quit? It seems to have been partly due to the lack of control over his time and the relentlessness of waiting at home and wondering when the next piece of work requiring immediate completion would come in. It also seems to have been because the work had an inherent pointlessness to it. "There have been moments at 2am where I have regretted doing investment banking in the heat of the moment, where I said "Oh my gosh, I don't want to align this logo for the 4,000th time; I didn't get this quarter of a million dollar degree to do this...," said Jun. "I've realized that finance perhaps isn't my main interest...does not make my heart beat faster," said Jun, adding that his colleagues seemed "a bit more excited about the tasks they were doing," than he did.
Despite all this, Jun says banking is a good career choice if, like him, you're, "not a doctor, you're not a software engineer, you're not in the STEM fields, if you're in the general world of business, and you're not exactly sure what you want to do." The relentless work can even be a positive, said Jun: "You get a very, very heightened experience in a concentrated amount of time, and you're quite literally working four years worth of work within a two-year timeframe."
