Things to Do & Must-See Attractions in South Holland
Why you are seeing these recommendations
Rotterdam's brand new market hall is more than just a place to shop for produce and grab a bite; it's an attraction in its own right. It features over 100 food stalls, eight restaurants and 15 shops, all located underneath an imposing horseshoe-shaped structure with glass facades consisting of 4,000 small windows hanged by steel cables – it is, in fact, the largest glass-window cable structure in Europe, and as such, is considered an architectural masterpiece by many experts.
Additionally, the inside of the market is covered by more than 4,000 colorful tiles that give the horseshoe-shaped arch a boost of color, making it the largest artwork in the Netherlands. A 10th-century farm was uncovered seven meters underground during construction of the market, and several foundations and artifacts are now on exhibit throughout the market hall in homage to Rotterdam's agricultural past.

With 7 million flower bulbs planted every year across 79 acres (32 hectares), Keukenhof Gardens is a colorful sea of 800 varieties of tulips and other spring flowers, attracting visitors from around the globe who want to see the Netherlands' iconic tulip fields. More than 9 miles (15 kilometers) of footpaths provide space to stroll around the park, take photos of flowers in bloom, and enjoy this Holland tradition.
Keukenhof Gardens Tours & Tickets
Mauritshuis is home to one of the best collections of Dutch and Flemish paintings in the world. Often referred to as "the jewel box," the ornately elegant 17th-century mansion is a textbook example of Dutch classical architecture, built as the private residence of John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen.
Linking north and south Rotterdam across the River New Meuse, the Erasmus Bridge (Erasmusbrug is one of the city's most notable landmarks. Opened in 1996, it's striking for its single, angled pylon, which lends it the nickname "The Swan" (De Zwaan and makes it a must-see for visitors.
Even in a city with lots of out-of-the-ordinary architecture, Rotterdam's Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen manage to stand out from the crowd. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom and built in the early 1980s, these yellow-and-gray cubic houses are perched at a 45-degree-angle, creating unusual lines and strangely shaped interiors.
Built using funds donated by American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, Peace Palace (Vredespaleis) is one of The Hague's best-known landmarks. The grand neo-Renaissance building is home to the UN's International Court of Justice, which hears legal disputes between states.

Rotterdam's Euromast observation tower—which was built in 1960—rises to 607 feet (185 meters, making it the Netherlands' tallest building. Extended to its current height in 1970, the observation tower offers restaurants, hotel suites, abseiling experiences, a viewing platform, and a rotating Euroscoop glass elevator with panoramic views.
The Church of St. Lawrence (Sint Laurenskerk) is the primary landmark of Rotterdam, and the only remaining building of medieval times in the city. The late-Gothic structure was built between 1449 and 1525, originally consecrated as a Catholic cathedral before being converted to a Protestant place of worship following the Reformation in 1572. Much of the ornate decoration from the interior was removed at this time.
For a time, from 1619 to 1642, the church was topped with a wooden spire designed by architect Hendrick de Keyser, but this was demolished due to rot. The next idea was to top the tower with a stone pinnacle, but this caused the tower to tilt, requiring new piles to be added under the foundation. Much of the remaining interior decoration was removed during the Batavian Revolution of 1795.
Sint Laurenskerk was heavily damaged in the German bombing of May 14, 1940, the images of which still symbolize the hardship the city endured during this period. After the bombing, there was controversy over whether to keep or demolish the church, and in the end, a restoration was agreed upon.
One of the main attractions of the Sint Laurenskerk is the Carillon of bells, which were originally installed in 1661 as a set of 36 designed by F. Hemony. More were later added during the post-war renovation, and there are now 49.

As the main railway station of the city of Rotterdam and one of the most important transportation hubs in all of the Netherlands with over 110,000 daily passengers in 2007 (as many as Amsterdam Schipol airport), Rotterdam Centraal was just recently renovated and reopened in March 2014. Because it is
now connected to several high-speed networks in Europe and because of its proximity to Schipol airport, it is expected that the numbers of daily passengers will increase to 323,000 by the year 2025.
In terms of architecture, the station has already received the acclaim of the industry thanks to its bold yet efficient design – a nod to the city's architectural heritage, which is famous for being edgy and resolutely non-traditional. One of the main changes from the recent renovations works is the difference
between the north and south entrances; one faces the residential Provenierswijk neighborhood and the other, a futuristic, skyscraper-ridden commercial district. The station was designed so that commuters feel the gradual evolution from a more modest northern entrance with plenty of natural light and green
spaces merging into a metropolitan, dramatic allure to the south as the stations opens up onto a large and lively public square and a 5000-bike parking.
Transformed from a farmhouse into a stately home in 1533, Noordeinde Palace (Paleis Noordeinde) in The Hague was presented to William of Orange's widow in recognition of her husband's service to the Netherlands. Noordeinde Palace is one of four palaces across the country owned by the Dutch royal family and serves as the office of King Willem-Alexander.

Windmills of Kinderdijk
The Netherlands is famous for its windmills, and the most charming place to admire the traditional Dutch landmarks is at Kinderdijk. Just outside of Rotterdam, Kinderdijk's 19 windmills date back to the 17th century and are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Museum De Lakenhal
4 Tours and Activities
Leiden's Museum De Lakenhal and the building it is housed in (the Laecken-Halle) are considered to be one of the best examples of Dutch Golden Age architecture in the Netherlands. For centuries, the building served as the inspection hall and the bustling center for Leiden's famous fabric trade, the products of which were exported to all corners of the world. The original façade of the 17th-century palace remains intact, although the interior has undergone quite a few changes over the centuries.
The site welcomed the Museum De Lakenhal in 1874, bringing in a diverse collection of works by Leiden-born master painters including Rembrandt van Rijn, Lucas van Leyden and Theo van Doesburg. With a focus on fine arts and Leiden history, the museum hosts visiting exhibitions in addition to its permanent collection. A mix of armaments, old tile, fabric, paintings and even an altarpiece from a 'hidden church' are tied together by the history of Leiden, allowing visitors to easily imagine what life in this historic city may have once been like.
Rotterdam Old Harbor (Oude Haven)
The Old Harbor, or Oude Haven, of Rotterdam is the city's first port, dating back to 1350. Today, the Old Harbor is an entertainment center of Rotterdam, with a unique mix of old and new structures and a collection of terraces and restaurants to enjoy some time to relax in the bustling city.
Rotterdam's Old Harbor is home to a number of old sailing ships that harken back to the heyday of the city as a trading port. Alongside the harbor stands Het Witte Huis (The White House), recognized as the first skyscraper of Europe. Standing 45 meters, the White House was built in 1898, and was not only the first, but also the highest skyscraper in Europe.
The ten-story, art nouveau-style building was designed by Dutch architect Willem Molenbroek, and stands on 1,000 piles that keep it from sinking into the soft soil. It is one of the few buildings in Rotterdam to have survived the German bombing campaign of May 14, 1940.
The Old Harbor used to be the home of the Plan C business complex, built in 1880. This complex combined shops, offices and homes around central arcades, allowing shoppers to remain dry even during the rain. This complex was, in fact, one of the first shopping malls similar to the malls of today. Unfortunately, most of Plan C was destroyed in the bombing, and only the railing and some underpasses of the complex remain today.
Taking its place around the Old Harbor are the restaurants and modern apartments that the Old Harbor is known for today. Chief among these are Rotterdam's Cube Houses, built in 1984. These houses, designed by Piet Blom, look like giant yellow blocks, tilted on their side and raised up on poles. The cube house complex is known as the Blaakse Bos, or Blaakse Forest, as each of the houses can be seen to look like a tree. One of the cube houses is open to the public, or you can spend the night at the Stayokay hostel, which is located within one of the cubes.
The area around the harbor has now been transformed into a center for dining and nightlife in Rotterdam. There are thirteen restaurant and cafes that surround the harbor, along with a CitizenM hotel.
Delft Vermeer Centre (Vermeer Centrum)
Relishing in the glorious history of Dutch painting, Delft Vermeer Centre (Vermeer Centrum) celebrates the legacy of Johannes Vermeer, the famous painter who once called Delft home. In the Netherland's Golden Age, Vermeer flourished as one of the most successful and highly regarded Dutch painters. His 'Girl With the Pearl Earring' painting has become one of the most recognizable in the world.
The museum expertly tells the story of his life and his works, while also highlighting the technique of other painters of the time. There are even pieces of his equipment and supplies that lend a glimpse into his artistic process.
The center is designed to show Delft as Veneer once saw it, allowing for a journey back to 17th century Holland and into his world of light and color. It teaches of his upbringing, mentors, and the influences that shaped him an his work. Visitors also have the opportunity to visit his studio and, using the camera obscura, play with light, composition, and perspective just as he once did.
Royal Delft (Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles)
Dating back to 1653, Royal Delft (Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles) is the world's best-known manufacturer of the Netherlands' iconic blue-and-white porcelain goods. The factory—the only such manufactory that remains from the 17th century—is open to travelers looking to learn about this one-of-a-kind hand-painted stoneware.
Museum Gouda
The Museum Gouda specializes in religious art from the 16th century, paintings from the 'Haagse School' of the 19th century and 20th-century Dutch pottery. Visitors will get to know the classical scholar Erasmus, who grew up in Gouda and played on the street where the museum is now located, and Dirck Crabeth, the master artist who created eight of the stained-glass windows in the nearby St John Church (leading to the church being placed on the UNESCO list of monuments).
The museum has a large collection of smoking pipes, tiles, antique apothecary jars and a solid selection of works from artists such as Toorop and Redon. If this sounds like an eclectic mix, it is! But hundreds of years ago, beer, cheese, pipes and pottery were cornerstones of Gouda's economy, and the museum does a wonderful job of showcasing how the town developed over the years.
Escher in Het Paleis (Escher in the Palace)
Behind the 17th-century façade of this palace—formerly the winter home of Queen Emma of the Netherlands—lies a series of lavishly appointed rooms plus an ornate Art Nouveau staircase and stained-glass skylights. It's also home to a startlingly eccentric collection of works of Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher.
Inner Court & Hall of Knights (Binnenhof & Ridderzaal)
The Hague's 13th-century Binnenhof (Inner Court) complex encompasses several landmarks, including the Gothic Ridderzaal (Hall of Knights)—a state building characterized by medieval-style turrets. Now home to the Dutch Parliament, the heritage site attracts visitors with a blend of courtly features and political significance.
Rotterdam City Hall (Stadhuis)
Rotterdam is famous around the world for its modern architecture, but this quirky feature came about by obligation rather than by imagination. The vast majority of the city was turned to ashes during the destructive Rotterdam Blitz by the German Air Force of 14 May 1940, but one building miraculously survived: the City Hall. Built between 1914 and 1940 as per Queen Wilhelmina's request, it has a symmetrical design and a sober Renaissance style that is not without resemblance to other Dutch city halls. It features and four wings and a small interior courtyard, as well as two statues on either side of the main entrance: the 'Portier' (doorman) and the 'Fiscus' (tax collector); there are ten other statues scattered around the city hall's gardens, each representing Rotterdam's values and virtues. The most striking part of the building, however, is the 70-meter high tower featuring a clock, a bell, and an angel of peace. During the holiday season, Rotterdam's biggest Christmas tree is set up in front of the City Hall.
Kunsthal Rotterdam (Art Hall Rotterdam)
A visit to Kunsthal Rotterdam, one of the city's most prestigious museums, offers the opportunity to appreciate both art and architecture. The dynamic institution is known for its ever-changing and intriguing exhibition program displayed in an architecturally inspired multifloored building, designed by famed Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.
Madurodam, a mini-Holland on a 1:25 scale, lets you tour the entirety of the Netherlands in an hour. One of Holland's most popular attractions since its development in the Hague in 1952, it highlights the epitomes of Dutch culture in scale-model replicas of perfectly ornamented bridges, canals, windmills, and major national landmarks.
Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp)
Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp) is known for its successful conservation and breeding programs. Visit the zoo for the chance to see creatures from all around the globe, from African pygmy hippos to Asiatic lions, North American polar bears to Australian swamp wallabies. There's even an on-site aquarium and butterfly garden.
Famous for its Delft Blue pottery and as the birthplace of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, the quaint town of Delft is ringed by scenic canals and located in the western Netherlands between Rotterdam and The Hague. Delft is also notable for its striking medieval buildings, lively market, and connections with the Dutch Royal Family.
Museum Prinsenhof Delft
Housed in a historic 15th century former monastery, this museum holds an impressive collection of Dutch Golden Age paintings. The Prisenhof Delfthas a fascinating history; after its use as a convent it served as the residence for William of Orange, who was murdered (bullet holes still visible) in the house by a fanatic in 1584. Operating today strictly as an art museum, its collection consists mostly of 17th century paintings and Delftware ceramics. There's also rich period furniture, tapestries, portraits, pottery, and fine gold and silver items that give a sense of Dutch aristocracy.
Themes from the time period, including the life of Prince William of Orange and the House of Orange-Dassau, the city of Delft, and the Dutch Uprising, are all well represented in the art. The interior also gives visitors the chance to experience Dutch life much as it was in the 16th century. Interactive multimedia and video presentations do a great job of bringing the history to life.

Review in Greensboro News & Record, April 18, 1993:
GUNS N' ROSES CLEANS UP ITS ACT
EDDIE HUFFMAN
Special to the News & Record
Guns N' Roses showed Friday that toning down obscene lyrics hasn't drained the group of its musical power.
Nobody's likely to confuse Guns N' Roses with Wilson Phillips, but when the Hollywood rockers were introduced as "the feelgood band of the '90s" at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill Friday night, it wasn't altogether a joke.
That's because Guns N' Roses no longer has a chip on its collective shoulder the size of a tour bus. In 1993, Axl Rose's band has toned down the venom considerably, losing little of its musical power but dumping Rose's obscenity-saturated rants against everything from fellow metal band Warrant to the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
Before the kinder and gentler GN'R took the stage, the 12,000 or so people gathered in the Smith Center got to hear a set from Rose's childhood buddy, Shannon Hoon, and his band, Blind Melon. It's a good thing Blind Melon - which was based in Durham for awhile - has friends in high places, because its set consisted of self-absorbed tedium from Hoon and meandering, interminable strings of notes and verses not resembling anything you might call songs.
Much more popular was the entertainment between bands, when the video cameras for the GN'R set were trained on members of the crowd. Numerous scantily clad women bared their breasts for projection on the big screen.
Additional images of adult sexuality came courtesy of GN'R, which had three nearly naked women deliver drinks to the band during an "unplugged" portion of the concert. If parts of the concert reduced women to the sum of certain body parts, however, GN'R wisely avoided the woman-bashing songs that occupy too much space on its "Use Your Illusion" albums.
If GN'R lacked the raw power and endurance it showed in an unforgettable marathon concert at the Greensboro Coliseum in 1991, Rose still performed in a T-shirt that bore the face of cult-leading hippie murderer Charlie Manson on the front and the words "Charlie Don't Surf" on the back. Rose has always been out to shock, and songs like "It's So Easy," "Mr. Brownstone," "Double Talking Jive," and "You Could Be Mine" sounded as fierce as ever.
The band played with the fire that earned it its reputation, and the loss of rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin was barely noticeable. The only weak link Friday night was lead guitarist Slash, who is at least as important to GN'R as Rose himself. Slash - whose substance abuse is the stuff of legend - seemed distracted and unfocused Friday night, not touching the emotional fury he brought to the '91 Greensboro show.
In 1991, GN'R was a band with something to prove, headlining for the first time, touring after a four-year wait between complete albums, and previewing two new double-length albums. In 1993, GN'R was just a band with something to do. If Friday night's show wasn't an unforgettable concert, it was still a great one.

UFI Releases Asia Report
Andrea Doyle – Executive Editor
PARIS/HONG KONG – UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, has released the 17th edition of its annual report on the trade fair industry in Asia. The report, compiled by BSG in Hong Kong, provides a best estimate for the actual performance of the industry in 2020, as well as commentary on 2021 and the outlook for 2022.
Overall, BSG estimates that Asia recorded a 63% drop in net space sold in 2020 compared to 2019 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Relatively strong performance by China prevented the regional average from falling further. Trade fairs in China's key exhibition cities operated relatively normally from July to December 2020 — albeit with greatly reduced international participation.
Of the large markets in Asia, Hong Kong was hit the hardest, with an approximate 95% drop in net space sold in 2020. This weak performance is expected to be repeated in 2021 as Hong Kong's borders remain essentially closed going into the fourth quarter of the year.
"2020 and 2021 will go down in history as two extremely difficult years for event organizers. Although hopes are high for recovery into 2022, a number of factors continue to hinder a potential return to normal — including new COVID-19 variants, government policies, vaccine rates and travel restrictions," Mark Cochrane, UFI Asia/Pacific Regional Director and BSG managing director, said.

"This is a global crisis that has hit every one of UFI's members. As expected, net space sold in Asia in 2020 decreased significantly, however our industry will recover and will continue to play an essential role in Asia's economic resurgence. Complete recovery will play out on a market-by-market basis, which makes this report more valuable than ever. UFI and our members advocate for common sense measures to allow our industry and the region's economies to recover," Kai Hattendorf, UFI Managing Director and CEO, said.

For many of us, we know the nuisance of a minor pain. If allergies cause us to have a sinus headache, we take a decongestant. Back pain from a weekend of yard work? Ibuprofen may do the trick.
But what about those who suffer from chronic pain that lasts longer than 6 months? No one wants to live in pain, but we also have to be careful not to put our health at risk to be pain-free.
Americans have increasingly been prescribed opioids – painkillers like Vicodin, OxyContin, Opana, and methadone, and combination drugs like Percocet. The use of these prescription drugs has quadrupled since 1999 although there hasn't been an increase in the amount of pain Americans report. In 2012, health care providers wrote 259 million opioid prescriptions, enough for every adult in the United States to have a bottle of pills. According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as many as 1 in 4 people who receive prescription opioids long-term for non-cancer pain in a primary care center struggles with addiction.
Along with addiction, opioid risks include depression, overdose, and withdrawal symptoms when usage is stopped.
In response to this growing opioid epidemic, the CDC released opioid prescription guidelines recognizing that opioids are appropriate in certain cases such as cancer treatment, palliative care, end-of-life care, and in certain acute care situations – if properly dosed. But for other pain management, the CDC recommends non-opioid alternatives such as physical therapy to cope with chronic pain.
Physical therapy is a safe and effective way to treat long-term pain. Physical therapists can provide evidence-based treatments that help not only treat the pain, but the underlying cause of the pain. They can play a valuable role in educating patients about alternative options and setting realistic expectations for recovery without opioids.
While it may feel counterintuitive, the more a person who has chronic pain moves, the better usually he or she will feel. One of the goals of physical therapy is to help patients suffering with chronic pain become stronger because they're usually weak from not moving.
A physical therapist will work with a patient – typically as part of a medical team – to understand the pain and what's causing it. This allows the therapist to work with the patient and other healthcare providers to determine how best to treat and manage it.
Physical therapists can provide exercises that strategically focus on strength, flexibility, posture and body mechanics. Strengthening and stretching parts of the body that are affected by pain can decrease the pain, increase mobility, and improve overall mood.
There are a number of ways that a therapist may help a patient manage pain. These can include low-impact aerobics, massage, stretching, manipulation of joints and bones, strengthening exercises using resistance bands, movement therapy and additional types of exercise. Exercise could involve walking on a treadmill or swimming in a pool, depending upon an individual's abilities.
These therapeutic exercises are designed to help a person increase muscle strength, endurance, joint stability, and flexibility. In addition, physical therapy also aids in reducing inflammation, stiffness, and soreness. It encourages the body to heal itself by boosting the production of the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Overall, when it comes to chronic pain, physical therapists often can help people move safely and functionally in ways that they haven't been able to for a while. So before agreeing to an opioid prescription for chronic pain, consult with your physician to discuss your options for a non-opioid treatment.

Are You a Bird Brain? You May Wish You Were!
» Archives for Donna.Atkins
Posted: August 9, 2010 by Donna.Atkins
On those days when you start to feel that your coursework is taxing your brain, take a moment to think about Alex, an African grey parrot, who was the subject of a thirty-year (1977-2007) experiment by an animal psychologist named Irene Pepperberg, initially at the University of Arizona and later at Harvard and Brandeis University. Before her work, scientists believed that a large primate brain was needed to deal with complex problems related to language and understanding and that birds were not intelligent and only used words by mimicking.Pepperberg's accomplishments found that birds may actually be able to reason on a basic level and to use words creatively. She reported that Alex had the intelligence of a five-year-old human and the emotional level of a human two-year-old at the time of his premature death (from an unexpected catastrophic event associated with arteriosclerosis) when he was about thirty years old (the average life span for African grey parrots is fifty years). At the time of his death, he could identify 50 different objects and recognize quantities up to six and could distinguish seven colors and five shapes. He understood the concepts of "bigger," "smaller," "same," and "different," and was learning "over" and "under."Among a number of his skills, he had a vocabulary of 150 words and appeared to have understanding of what he said. He could label an object when asked about its shape, color or material. He could also add to a limited extent, and understood the concept of zero, answering "none" when asked the difference between two objects if there was indeed no difference!When the bird was tired of being tested, he would indicate that he wanted to go back to his cage by saying, "Wanna go back." If he said, "Wanna banana," and was offered a nut instead, he would stare in silence, ask for the banana again, or take the nut and throw it at the researcher before requesting the item again!And talk about "famous last words,"Alex's last words to Dr. Pepperberg were, "You be good. I love you."

Speaking 1,000 Words Without Opening One's Mouth…the remarkable aspect of nonverbal communication.
Posted: February 25, 2010 by Donna.Atkins
In Argentina, the "thumbs up" and "okay" gestures we use regularly in America are considered to be really vulgar. In Cambodia, it is bad manners to meet the eyes of someone who is older than you. In Turkey, people routinely stare – at foreigners and at each other! In China, winking is considered to be highly offensive. In India, it is expected that one will allow an arm's length of distance from another in conversation, to provide personal space. Similarly, in Britain. In Mexico, however, people who converse stand very close to one another as do people in Russia and backing away appears rude. In Thailand, a nod doesn't mean "yes," but is merely a sign of respect. In Japan, one must point with the entire hand, as pointing with the index finger is rude.One of the most sought after transferable skills (a skill that can be taken from one job to another) for those who work in the medical industry, is the ability to perceive nonverbal messages. It is through nonverbal messages that people communicate their real feelings and their intentions become evident. Continue reading…

Posted: January 6, 2010 by Donna.Atkins
The ABC-TV show, "Good Morning America," had a remarkable video recently that managed to overview the entire past ten years within three minutes. I was surprised by how many things I had forgotten about that were covered in the content and also surprised that we all survived the decade in light of all of the goings on. If you have not seen this video, you need to check it out and see how much you remember.

How And Where Did Kennedy Die? Your answer may provide insights into how you fit into the new workplace.
In the current job market, there are four different generations working, the first time in American history that this is the case. Each generation has a different way of communicating and different values and expectations.
According to Greg Hammill, a human resources specialist, there are distinct attitudes, motivational "buttons," behaviors, habits and expectations identified within each generational group. Research has revealed that individuals communicate based on their generational background. Generational differences can affect hiring, the building of teams, motivating and managing people and, ultimately, increasing productivity. Generational differences can also result in misunderstandings, employee turnover, problems in attracting good employees and keeping employees loyal. Learning how to communicate with the different groups can eliminate a great deal of confrontations and misunderstandings in the workplace. Follow past the jump for profiles of the four generations sharing the modern workplace. Continue reading…

Poem "Invictus" Inspires Movie
Posted: December 14, 2009 by Donna.Atkins
There is a new movie out called Invictus starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The movie takes its title from a poem of the same name, "Invictus," the best-remembered work of British poet William Ernest Henley (1849-1903). Invictus is a Latin word meaning "unconquered," and the poem was written in 1875 as a demonstration of the poet's resilience following the amputation of his foot due to tubercular infection. Freeman plays Nelson Mandela in the movie and the poem was recited by Mandela daily for motivation during the thirty years of his political imprisonment in South Africa.

2016 World Chess Championship: Game #4
Nov 17th, 2016 by Daaim Shabazz
Game 4: Karjakin: Minister of Defense!
Superlatives were bandied about to describe Sergey Karjakin's defensive prowess after holding Magnus Carlsen in a 94-move bout. Peter Doggers of chess.com quipped that Vladimir Putin should hire him as "Minister of Defense" after which Karjakin said (with a wry smile) he'd be honored. Certainly Karjakin was glad to have escaped yet another unpleasant outing and didn't mind all the cliches in social media… overused yet again.
For the 2nd game in a row, Karjakin has emerged from the brink of losing. Who does this result favor more? #worldchess2016 #CarlsenKarjakin
— Daaim Shabazz (@thechessdrum) November 16, 2016
Many felt that this result may have helped Karjakin's confidence since he has scored two moral victories, but Carlsen said without a tinge of doubt that he would rather be on the offensive than having to defend such positions. Certainly, the world champion has to be happy with the positions he has been getting and is showing his superiority in technical positions. Zambian GM Amon Simutowe opined,
I am beginning to think Karjakin might pose Carlsen some real challenges in this match. While Carlsen has controlled the games in the first four matches, I am not sure it's a good sign if a player of Carlsen's caliber fails to convert at least two games in which he has an advantage into a win. On the other hand, if the trend of Carlsen dominating the games continues, he should win the match.
For the third game in a row, there was a Ruy Lopez, this time an anti-Marshall system with 8.h3. This is an attempt to side step the uber-complicated sequences after 8.c3 d5!? 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 Bd6 12.Re1 Qh4. Karjakin has extensive experience with this theory.
Images of the epic Game Four (different angles)
Carlsen ponders move after Karjakin's 15.Qf3
Carlsen takes a nap on the couch before Karjakin's fateful 18th move.
Indeed the Russian was comfortable and appeared to have his bearing well into the complicated jigsaw of pieces typical of the Ruy Lopez middlegames. Then, the moment came… 18.Bxh6? Karjakin had been goaded into a gluttonous blunder which was curtly refuted with 18…Qc6!
Zoiks! The response on social media exploded. Now black simply threatens 19…gxh6 and 19…Nxe4. They say mistakes happen in bunches and Karjakin interpolated the move 19.Bxc4?! which ceded the b3- and d3-squares. The alternative 19.Bc1 was needed.
Svidler: "If your reply to 18…Qc6 is 19.Bxc4, then you simply don't play 18.Bxh6. This is a complete U-turn" #CarlsenKarjakin
— chess24.com (@chess24com) November 15, 2016
After 19…bxc4 20.Be3 Nxe4 black's pieces got a huge dose of oxygen and Karjakin was on the brink of a dashing defeat. He had to get a grip on his position … and fast! One of the most admirable qualities of the challenger is to have the nerves of steel when under pressure. He opted to swap queens, but after 25.Ng4 Rb5 26.f3 the laser bishops were poised to slice his knight duo to shreds.
Karjakin started to venture into time pressure where one more slip could mean an immediate loss. He decided to temporarily jettison a pawn to activate his knight. After the 40th move, it was clear that white was going to suffer and Carlsen was the type who would play 100 moves. Tension continued to mount and after white's 45.Nd1 black played 45…f4?
Carlsen thought his was winning easily, but 45…Be6! was the killer. "I don't believe white can save this position," said Karjakin in the press conference. This turned out to the the last chance for Carlsen and after another 40 moves, Karjakin held the fortress. Drats! Carlsen foiled again.
Postgame Press Conference
Video by World Chess
So… going into a rest day Russia has to be feeling good and Karjakin more confident. With each draw, Karjakin is going to increase his chances of a match upset. For Carlsen, he must be disappointed to have missed these opportunities. When Anand missed his big chance after Carlsen's 26.Kd2?? (losing two pawns to 26…Nxe5!). Anand was visibly shaken and went down 12 moves later.

Here is a list of resources I've found helpful as we've faced challenges. I pray that these books, albums, and apps will be an encouragement to you as well. I've included a few direct amazon affiliate links to help make it easy to find the resources.
Amazon Music: My personal playlist of songs that have encouraged me on our journey.
Seeds Family Worship – There are several different albums of scripture songs centered around various themes – great for memorizing bible verses with your kids. (There are also Seeds Family Worship videos on YouTube).
Living Proof Ministries with Beth Moore – there is a downloadable app for ios and Android. You can listen or watch full teachings from Beth Moore. It's one of my favorites.
First 5 – from Proverbs 31 ministries – quick and easy daily devotionals available to read on your phone.
Logos App – This is a free Bible app that also gives you access to some great bible study tools.
OnePlace – an app that allows you to listen to a variety of sermons, bible studies, or Christian podcasts.
RightNow Media – this is a subscription-based service (kinda like a Bible Study Netflix).
Lifeway Women Online – video-based bible studies that you can watch online from teachers like Priscilla Shrirer, Beth Moore, Lisa Harper, etc. The studies are free to watch, but are only available for a limited amount of time (after that, you can rent the videos). A new study starts around every 6-8 weeks.
Fighter Verses – This is a paid app, but it helps you memorize Bible verse through graphics, songs, and quizzes.

With the steady rate of development that has seen smartphones take the center stage of technology today, it will somehow surprise many people that we have to write on the best Garmin GPS Devices as our topic of discussion today. Many will feel like; this is the 21st century! I've got that on my phone. You're right though, to an extent. Smartphones today have some of the best cameras and GPS maps that we can find but still, nothing compares to a dedicated GPS device such as those from the manufacturing giant Garmin in helping you navigate through routes as you move around.
Several manufacturers still produce dedicated GPS devices which are great for several reasons that include but not limited to running, hunting, driving, navigate airplanes, biking, harvesting fields as well as military operations. Names such as TomTom and Magellan ring a bell but Garmin is the leader in this industry. The manufacturer has produced some really great products which have gained them a stronghold in this market. Today, we'll be looking at some of the best to come out of their ranks but before that, why would you really need a dedicated GPS device in this time and age?
Why Would You Need a GPS Unit In the 21st Century?
If you are the type that loves road trips so much, you'd agree with us that it may be annoying to be tethered to your phone over a long period of time. GPS devices like the best Garmin GPS devices will provide you with accurate and precise directions on routes and pointers to your intended destination.
For drivers, aside from being free and relieved of having to hold on to your phone while still trying be driving sanely, dedicated GPS devices such some of those Garmin Car GPS will provide you all you need and more to get to your destination without having to rely on your cellular network.
The modern-day GPS devices from Garmin will operate easily independent on your phone's data plan or Wi-Fi. Along with these comes newer and more advanced driver assistance features. Other features such as Bluetooth connectivity, geo-based recommendations as well as voice commands are now done on larger HD displays. The truth today is that GPS units aren't dead, many of these devices such as the best Garmin GPS devices would do most things your smartphones aren't really capable of doing.
Truth is you'll need to pay a little attention as it is with most other products or brands. Going shopping for Garmin GPS devices is one part of the equation already solved. Just like it is with buying other GPS devices, we'll try to bring to you a comprehensive guide and tips regarding some of the most important features to look out for in the best GPS devices.
These devices come in different sizes and so you should be sure of what you want. Large screens will make it easy to see the display but will also mean the size of the unit too will increase. Screen resolutions of most new GPS devices today also come in Full HD resolution or at least 720p HD. This will make it easy to see displays easily. Do you want a large screen size or a portable or lightweight device? This is yours to decide.
Touchscreen devices are great and can be fun and easy to operate. Buttons for interface control are also great when you'd have to use your device with gloves on your hand most often. This though will depend on what you do and maybe the time of the year as people often wear gloves in the winter. So want to go touch or buttons? Decide.
We've been asked several questions one of which is what the LMT in Garmin GPS stands for. The LMT means Lifetime Maps + Traffic. A good GPS device should be able to provide you traffic information and should also be able to take note of this while providing you real-time estimates of your arrival time to your destination. Having traffic information will help you avoid road closures, traffic jams if possible, and avoidable accidents.
The purpose of GPS devices is to make navigations easier. When the use of this device becomes complex and confusing, the whole purpose has been defeated. While there are such GPS devices with complicated features and operation out there, the best Garmin GPS devices are some of the easiest to use in the industry.
Technology and innovations have entered into the industry and now we have some GPS devices that will easily take vocal commands from users. While this will help you stay focused on driving to increase safety, it will also signal an increase in how much you may have to pay. Check out for this if you'd want it all the same in your device.
Want more features such as 3D building view, updated maps, preload maps, third-party maps and software, wireless transmission and electronic compass? The list goes on and on. Although these will often mean you'd pay more for these premium features, they are great and can help ease the way you interact with and use the device.
Pricing is one of those things you'll also need to consider when trying to get your device. More features will often mean more dollars. Although our list still has some premium-priced Garmin GPS devices packed with premium-quality features and performance, there are still some of those bargain buys which also presents great value and performance despite retailing at an affordable price.
Now, we are at the stage where we go more direct and precise with all we have been saying. It is no doubt that Garmin produces the best GPS devices as these have still been able to hold sway in a market that is always being threatened by the versatility of smartphones. We took to the streets as well as hours of online research to bring you ten of the best Garmin GPS devices available today for GPS navigation and other related purposes.

The Garmin Nuvi 3597LMTHD has a 5.0-inch touchscreen display which we found out to be highly responsive. We are impressed as this is one of the best touchscreens you will find on most GPS devices nowadays. The 5-inch screen has a high resolution that displays readings with great clarity.
Lifetime Traffic is the premium traffic service offered by Garmin. It is the HD Digital Traffic service and it alerts you when new updates as regards your route are received. The Nuvi 3597 has a special receiver which receives HD Traffic updates every 30 seconds.

Smartphone Link app on the GPS device also allows you connect your smartphone to share information and data with each other. While we'll not go into this in details, this feature is really awesome and will help the device send useful info and details to your smartphone.

The device has over 10 million POIs and has 3-D buildings and terrains of the North America Landscape.
Other features such as Garmin Real Directions offers a great user experience and the lithium-ion battery will last you about two hours if you forget to plug in the charging cable.
With the many features as well as the availability and affordability of most GPS devices of nowadays, you'd hardly hear of people getting lost as GPS devices can easily help you discover where in the world you are and how you can get back home safely. Even though this product is no longer in production, the stock on sale is still receiving rave reviews and patronage due to simple things.
We said simple things because rather than stock the device with mouth-watering features like it is in some of those premium-priced devices, the Garmin Nuvi 50LM Navigator only focuses on the basic while the design and build were also made to be as sturdy and durable as possible.

Arsene Wenger was furious after Arsenal were denied what seemed a clear penalty in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League quarter-final draw with Liverpool.
Alexander Hleb appeared to be tugged back by Dirk Kuyt and boss Wenger told BBC Sport: "It was a blatant penalty, under the eyes of the referee."
Wenger, though, feels his side will get the result they need to progress in the second leg at Anfield next Tuesday.
"It will be a test for us, but we have the desire to do it," he said.
"I feel we were not rewarded for what we produced - and we had the chances to win it.
"We were a bit unlucky with a big decision of the referee on the penalty. It's difficult to take, but we have to swallow it."
Dutch referee Peter Vink appeared to be well-placed to see whether Hleb was impeded by Kuyt in the second-half incident which occurred with the score at 1-1.
Wenger was left dumbfounded after Vink waved away Arsenal's appeals, but he insisted his side still should have the advantage in the tie after dominating for large spells.
"It is difficult to understand how we did not win the game, because we had a lot of possession and a lot of chances," he said.
"Liverpool created very little, and the whole second half was played in one half.
"If you look at our amount of possession compared to Liverpool, it is frightening that we could only come out of it with a 1-1.
"I cannot fault the players. We were unlucky in the circumstances, notably with the Nicklas Bendtner chance."
Substitute Bendtner unwittingly cleared a Cesc Fabregas shot off the line but he had already been ruled offside.
"The game was played in one half in the second period and it was difficult because Liverpool defended well," added Wenger.
"I think Kuyt played second right-back and on the other wing they defended deep and it was difficult to find space."
Before the second leg the sides meet again in the Premier League on Saturday and Wenger feels that encounter could be significant.
"It might take more out of us than this game," he said. "It is now a little bit of a survival battle - the one who is still good after three games is the one who is the better team."
Wenger revealed forward Robin van Persie is a doubt for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off, having been replaced by Theo Walcott at half-time because of a thigh problem.
He said: "We had to take him out as a precaution. It doesn't look too bad, but we think he may be short for the next game."

Inclusion Europe > News > Croatia: End confinement of people with disabilities
Click here for the easy-to-read version
Croatia's government should end the confinement of children and adults with disabilities in institutions, five disabled people's and human rights organisations said today in a letter to Prime Minister Andrej Plenković. Despite some initial progress, the process of moving people out of institutions and into community-based living has stalled, the groups said.
Based on government figures for 2017, more than 7,800 adults and children with disabilities live in state-run institutions. More than 2,000 others live in privately run but state-funded institutions. These include smaller institutions called family homes, which house up to 20 people with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities, or mental health conditions. It is unclear how many others live in long-term care in psychiatric hospitals without their consent.
"The Croatian government should follow through on its promises to respect the rights of everyone who has a disability to live independently and make their own choices," said Emina Ćerimović, senior disability rights researcher at Human Rights Watch. "The government helped make this a reality for hundreds of people and should build on this experience for thousands of others."
According to official data, between 2011 and 2016, the government provided support for approximately 700 people to move out of state-run institutions and into organised housing in the community.
Croatia should make a clear plan to phase out institutions
The groups sending the letter are Inclusion Europe, the European Network on Independent Living, the Centre for Peace Studies Croatia, Human Rights House Zagreb, and Human Rights Watch.
The Croatian government should make a clear plan to phase out institutions, the groups said. The government should also develop services in the community, so that children with disabilities can grow up in families and that people with disabilities can live independently, with adequate support.
"The Croatian government needs to move more quickly to meet its obligations under the international disability rights treaty, which it ratified a decade ago," said Human Rights House Zagreb's Ivan Novosel. "This includes removing all legal and societal barriers that prevent people with disabilities from taking an active and full part in society."
The government's figures show that as of April 2018, more than 2,455 adults with disabilities were living in foster care. On May 21, the government published a draft Law on Foster Care that would give priority to placing adults with disabilities in the foster care program, including without their consent. Foster care cannot be considered independent living in community for adults as required by the disability rights treaty, the organisations said.
Both the United Nations Committee on the Rights of People With Disabilities and Croatia's Ombudswoman for Persons with Disabilities have criticized placing adults in foster care.
"The government continues to place adults with disabilities in institutions and foster families against their will"
"Under the international disability rights treaty, Croatia must respect the right of all people with disabilities to live independently in the community, regardless of their impairment, support needs, or age," said Ines Bulic Cojocariu, deputy director at the European Network on Independent Living. "The government should develop and adequately fund community-based services. Instead, the government continues to place adults with disabilities in institutions and foster families against their will."
People with psychosocial disabilities in psychiatric hospitals and those in foster care remain excluded from the government's deinstitutionalization efforts.
In an April meeting with Human Rights Watch, the Social Policy Ministry promised to adopt a new plan to support community-based living for people with disabilities, including those in state-run institutions, private institutions, and family homes. In a subsequent letter to Human Rights Watch, however, the ministry said that people with disabilities who need long-term and intensive care will remain in institutions.
Many people with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities end up in institutions or foster care because they are denied legal capacity or the right to make basic decisions for themselves. A guardian makes some or all decisions for them. About 18,000 people with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities are under some form of guardianship in Croatia.
Jyrki Pinomaa: "Croatia should be restoring legal capacity to people under guardianship"
In June 2014, the Croatian Parliament adopted a new Family Act, which abolished full guardianship. It required courts to review all previous decisions on deprivation of legal capacity with the aim of restoring partial or full legal capacity to those previously stripped of it by January 2020. Since then, courts have reviewed only 1,179 cases, restoring full legal capacity to just 95 people and partial legal capacity to 273. Restoring partial legal capacity means a court can specify what decisions the person is allowed to make independently and those that a guardian will continue to make, such as for living arrangements and health care.
Guardianship and other forms of restricting the right to make decisions are inconsistent with Croatia's human rights obligations
said Jyrki Pinomaa, president of Inclusion Europe. "Croatia should be restoring legal capacity to people under guardianship and implementing supported decision-making systems that respect the autonomy, will, and preferences of each person."
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities guarantees the right of everyone with a disability to live independently and to be included in the community, regardless of their disability, whether they have multiple disabilities, or whether they need a high level of support. The freedom for individuals to make decisions and control their lives is essential to living independently, the organisations said. In December 2017, the Council of the European Union called on EU governments to ensure that everyone has the right to live independently within their community and to play an active part in society.
"Croatia should mark the 10th anniversary since ratifying the disability rights treaty by reforming laws and policies to meet its obligation under the treaty. This includes ensuring that persons with disabilities have the opportunity to choose their place of residence and where and with whom they live, and are not obliged to live in a particular living arrangement ," said Cvijeta Senta of the Centre for Peace Studies.

"Croatia must stop putting people
with disabilities in institutions"
Five organisations who are working
for people with disabilities in Croatia
wrote a letter to the prime minister of the country.
These organisations are:
Inclusion Europe;
European Network on Independent Living;
Centre for Peace Studies;
Human Rights House Zagreb;
Human Rights Watch.
In the letter they write that no one should live
any more in institutions in Croatia.
The Croatian government needs
to make this happen.
There are still a lot of people
living in institutions in Croatia.
Most of these institutions stay open
thanks to the money given to them by the government.
Some of these institutions are small,
with about 20 people with disabilities
living there.
There are also people with intellectual disabilities
who are made to live in a hospital.
Emina Ćerimović works for Human Rights Watch
and knows a lot about human rights.
She says that people with disabilities have the right
to live independently and to make their own choices.
The government of Croatia
should respect that right.
The government of Croatia has already helped
some people with disabilities to get out of institutions
and to live in the community.
But there are still a lot of people with disabilities
who live in institutions.
The government should help
these people too to get out.
To do this, the government needs to make a plan
to close institutions down one by one.
It is important that the government helps
create support services in the communities.
In this way children with disabilities
can live with their families,
and adults with disabilities can live independently.
Ivan Novosel works at the Human Rights House Zagreb
He says that the government of Croatia needs to respect
an international document for the rights of persons with disabilities
it signed many years ago.
The government agreed with this document,
so it must respect the rights of people with disabilities,
for example the right to take part in society.
The government in Croatia makes
people with disabilities live in group homes,
even if they don't want to.
Living in group homes means
you still do not have an independent life there.
This is against the treaty the Croatian government signed.
The UN CRPD Committee said that group homes
are not good for people with disabilities.
Bulic Cojocariu works at the
European Network on Independent Living
He says that Croatia must respect
the right of people with disabilities
to live independently in the community.
The government should give money
to support services in the community.
But it doesn't do it.
Instead it still puts people in institutions and in foster care
The people who do not get help from the government
are the people who live in hospitals and group homes.
In April someone from the government of Croatia
said that they would work to support community living
for people with disabilities.
But afterwards this person said
that people who need a lot of care
will have to stay in institutions.
Many people with disabilities are under guardianship,
live in institutions.
This is because someone else
is making all choices for them.
In Croatia there are a lot of people
who are under guardianship.
The law in Croatia says that full guardianship
should not exist anymore.
So anyone who was put under full guardianship
can have back their rights.
Judges are working to give back
legal capacity to everyone.
But it is taking too much time.
And most of the time they do not give the people
back their full legal capacity.
This is bad because then still guardians make
many decisions for these people.
Jyrki Pinomaa is the president of Inclusion Europe.
He said that Croatia must respect the right
of people with disabilities to make their choices,
because otherwise Croatia would go against human rights.
The government of Croatia needs to work
so that everyone can live independently
and be able to make their own choices.
The UN CRPD says that it doesn't matter
which kind of disability you have.
You have the right to live independently
and to be part of the community.
It's very important to have the freedom
to make choices in your life.
Also the Council of the European Union
agrees on this,
and asks all European countries
to respect the freedom of choice
of people with disabilities.
Cvijeta Senta works at the Centre for Peace Studies.
She said that 10 years ago
Croatia signed the UN CRPD.
She said that Croatia should remember that.
She said that people with disabilities in Croatia
should be able to live wherever they want
and with the people they want to live with.
Our work brings the voice of people with intellectual disabilities and their families where decisions about their future are made.
This has always been incredibly important. It is even more so with the Covid pandemic drastic impact on their rights and lives.
Being visible and vocal on issues directly affecting millions of people requires your support.

Nausea is both a symptom and a side effect- It results from the stimulation of specific receptors, 5-HT3 for acute (sudden) emesis and the NK1 receptor for delayed emesis as is found in chemotherapy. Both receptors have been selectively blocked with anti-emetic drugs demonstrating their role in nausea and vomiting.
CB1 receptors appear to be co-located and have an opposite effect (an anti-emetic effect) to the 5-HT3 receptors. The mere presence of cannabinoids may also interfere with the action of the 5-HT3 receptors by direct interference with calcium channels in the receptor itself independent of any CB1 receptor activity. In the presence of CB1 antagonists (which block the CB1 receptor) this anti-emetic property of cannabinoids to interfere with the 5-HT3 receptor continues.
The majority of the anti-emetic effect of cannabinoids does, however, result from agonists binding to the CB1 receptor in the gut and brain stem. There has been a series of 19 patients reported that developed cyclical vomiting with chronic use of marijuana, which resolved when use ceased and returned if restarted.
However many recent studies, including a meta-analysis of over 1300 patients using various CB1 receptor agonists has demonstrated that cannabis and related compounds are equal to slightly better than conventional anti-emetics and the euphoria and associated anti-pain, pro-appetite effects make cannabis and related endocannabinoids especially useful in chemotherapy and HIV related nausea.
