This is one of the achievements for the upcoming 'Draenor Pathfinder' meta, required to unlock flying in Draenor!
To fully complete the Draenor Pathfinder meta-achievement, you will need to complete: Draenor Explorer, Master Treasure Hunter, Loremaster of Draenor (A) or Loremaster of Draenor (H), and either Securing Draenor (A) or Securing Draenor (H). You will also need to attain revered reputation with Order of the Awakened, The Saberstalkers and either Hand of the Prophet (A) or Vol'jin's Headhunters (H) depending on your character's faction for Tanaan Diplomat (A) or Tanaan Diplomat (H).
There is also mention of a rylak mount, Soaring Skyterror as an additional reward. The ability to fly will apply to all of your 90+ characters after any one of them possesses all the prerequisites (So, no need to grind reputation on every alt that needs to fly), however it will not appear in 6.2.0 but rather in a later minor patch (referred to as 6.2.x). Note that Draenor Pathfinder is account-wide, it has been confirmed that you won't have to 'earn' all of the achievements on the same character but merely possess them on said character.
In an upcoming Public Test Realm build, we will be introducing a new meta-achievement called Draenor Pathfinder. You'll earn this achievement in Patch 6.2 by mastering the outdoor environment of Draenor—exploring Draenor's zones, collecting 100 treasures in Draenor, completing the Draenor Loremaster and Securing Draenor achievements, and raising the three new Tanaan Jungle reputations to Revered. Initially, this achievement will award a rylak mount: the Soaring Skyterror, one of the native beasts that roam Draenor's skies. Players will remain ground-bound on Draenor until a small follow-up patch (6.2.x), when all players who have earned Draenor Pathfinder on at least one character will unlock the ability to fly in Draenor on all their level 90+ characters.
As of 6.2 doesn't appear to share across factions unfortunately. My horde characters have it while my alliance do not.
I currently see no way to track progress for this achievement.
Aviana's Feather makes finding a lot of the treasures so easy.
Where can you track how many treasures you've found? I've tried looking under various achievements, but I haven't had any luck.
When you complete "Expert Treasure Hunter" (look under Exploration/Draenor), "Master Treasure Hunter" will appear as a new achievment. I suspect that Blizzard added this one to make it more difficult to get the flying ability completed where "Master Treasure Hunter" is one of the requirements. Check it out, ETH needs 50 found treasures and MTH needs 100.
Go buy yourself the treasure maps from the NPC in Warspear to make it easier to find treasures.
and you will find any treasure, rare spawn and daily rare spawn in no time. I only say to use Curse so that you do not have to try and find the addons folder in your computer and then unzip then to it. This makes things faster and easier in my opinion. Have fun and good luck all!
I have to say I am a bit disappointing with this comment section. I was coming here to find some good "hot spot" suggestions since I know there are a few places with a lot of treasures in one small area.
Frostfire and it spits out a ball that is looted, there are creatures with associated rare loot that does count, but they are very few.
- Looting the pockets, even the rare pendant, in Mor'dul tower in Frostfire Ridge does not give credit either.
- I have found it's best to stick to the resources/greens/gold loots.
- In Arak, looting the potion of shadow sight does count, so does using it to get a rare item. Two for one!
Note: these treasures here are usually the easy to find or not too difficult to acquire ones. no glider used, cos it require some estimation, if you fail, have to waste more time trying again. I logged them so that none of us should waste more precious time doing things like these. usually i will abandon search for a treasure if it takes more than 5 - 10 min to just have a view of treasure, now u can save these time. i hv include some simple instruction if it is slightly difficult.
/way 67.0 70.0 Nagrand Warsong Spear, very difficult climb @75.7 71. drop down many times. keep trying, keep jumping while "sticking" to wall can be done.
/way 38.3 58.7 Nagrand Goldtoe's Plunder. easy spot-on. get key from a green bird flying around chest. no need to kill.
/way 42.7 18.3 Spires of Arak, Misplaced Scrolls. Not under the bridge this time!
/way 43.8 24.6 Spires of Arak, Elixir of Shadow Sight, in fire hut.
/way 50.3 25.8 Spires of Arak, Iron Horde Explosives, yea, kill the lookout. GET BLOWN UP! haha..
/way 45.9 44.1 Spires of Arak, Relics of the Outcasts. so glad this is the hundredth one. a bit fun to walk the rope up there.
Check out Anguish Fortress, Quite a few treasures in one area, and easy to get to!
There are a lot of treasures in Shadowmoon Valley that are in close proximity of each other, was able to get 30 in less than an hour.
2 - Can you loot the SAME location more than once?
Found out that the Offerings in Shadowmoon Valley counts towards it! Thats 5 right there in a circle. :) I've got 2 more to go!
Make sure to download HandyNotes and HandyNotes_DrenorTreasures for this achievement.
Gorgrond is the best and easiest zone to clear. There were only 3 or 4 treasures that I couldn't find. I would start here and make sure to clear the map as best as you can because the other zones aren't as easy.
Frostfire was very spread out but the treasures were more or less easy enough to get. I didn't clear the whole map but I got a majority from here and Gorgrond. I had 78 at this point (this includes a random 25 that I started with via leveling), I stopped at Talador for four easy treasures that are near the flightpath npcs.
Nagrand was a real pain overall and I would suggest going to Spires of Arak instead. Nagrand has a lot of trick/puzzle treasures and the terrain is not fun to navigate.
These were the only zones I went to, It took me a solid 2 hours to do and I netted 1600 gold after vendoring the loots.
How do I know how many treasures I've collected so far?
Character A finds 25 treasures.
Character B finds 50 treasures.
Character C finds 25 treasures.
No. The 100 treasures NEED all to be collected by one & same character.
Does killing rare monsters count towards your treasure count for the achievement?
Where do you pick up the quest for Pathfinder?
Where can I track this achievement?
Can't find it in the achievements lists.
quests have been broken since level scaling, once you do quest, return to garrison, it shows a book with a blue quest, makes you go back and do it again, once you do, go back, it shows nvr picked up and have to do it again and again and again hoping one time it will log correctly, gl everyone.
If you have a toon with 500+ engineering, I STRONGLY recommend making and using the Gnomish Gravity Well in combination with Goblin Glider kits/tinker. It will make your life SOOOO much easier for so many of the hard-to-reach treasures.
Master Treasure Hunter does not show up as an achievement you can track until Expert Treasure Hunter is completed. This was annoying for me because the Draenor Pathfinder achievement would not properly link Master Treasure Hunter, so I was left wondering if it was going to work right. Once I hit 50, the Expert Treasure Hunter achievement turned into the Master Treasure Hunter achievement in the achievement pane.

Mrs Amīnah Mubārik
Home Titanic Survivors Mrs Amīnah Mubārik (Amenia) (née Iskandar)
Mrs Jirjis Mubārik (Amīnah Iskandar Nāsīf Abī Dāghir)1 was born in Hardīn, Lebanon around 1887.
She was the daughter of Jirjis Nāsīf Iskander and his wife Kattūr Hannā. She had married at a young age to Jirjis Mubārik Bū Tannūs (b. 1874) and had two sons: Jirjis (b. 1904) and Halīm (b. 1907).
Her husband emigrated to the USA in 1908 and operated a grocery store in Houtzdale, Clearfield, Pennsylvania. He had asked his friend Antūn Mūsà Yazbak, who was returning to Lebanon to marry, to escort his wife and sons with him and his new bride. Antūn's new bride was none other than Aminah's younger sister Sīlānah (b. 1896).
Amīnah set out with her sons, her newlywed sister and brother-in-law and several other from Hardīn, bound for Beirut where they would travel to Marseille and then on to Cherbourg where, on 10 April 1912, they boarded the Titanic as third class passengers (joint ticket number 2661 which cost £15, 4s, 11d). Among the various relatives travelling with her was her cousin Thamīn Tannūs and her son As'ad.
On the night of the sinking Amīnah and her sons met up with Antūn and Sīlānah Yazbak who assisted her in handling her two boys whilst the party made their way to the upper decks. Whilst stories differ as to how the family escaped, it is generally believed that the women and children escaped in collapsible lifeboat C. Antūn Yazbak was lost in the sinking.
Upon their rescue by the Carpathia and eventual arrival in New York, Amīnah and her sons were treated for shock and exposure. Coupled with that her boys had contracted measles. Following recuperation the party made their way to Pennsylvania to be reunited with family and friends.
Amīnah became known as Minnie in America and she settled with her husband and sons in Clearfield, Pennsylvania where her husband Jirjis (now George) operated a dry goods store. The couple would have a further two sons: Roy (1916-1990) and Daniel (1918-1986) (the 1920 census shows another two children, James b. 1917 and a daughter named Arael, b. 1919; what became of these two children is unknown).
The family appear on the 1920 census together, still living in Clearfield. Unfortunately Amīnah became ill with tuberculosis in the early 1920s and, perhaps hoping that the Lebanese climate would be more suitable for her condition, she returned to her homeland to her family in Hardīn and never saw her husband and children again. She died around 1922.
Her widower George later moved himself and his children to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania where he had family to help raise his children. He died in 1953.
Anglicized as Amenia Alexander Borek or Amenia Moubarek.

The United States is becoming increasingly dependent on space assets for the conduct of peacetime and wartime military operations. The Gulf War was the first "space-age" war in which space based assets played critical roles in communications, navigation, weather prediction, missile launch detection, and intelligence gathering. Future military actions will all depend heavily on space based assets.

Bashkirian industrial enterprises began an active struggle for personnel KXan 36 Daily News
According to him, companies in the region are quite sure of themselves. At the end of 10 months to 2022, Bashkiria's industrial production index increased by 2.8% and is ahead of the Russian average by almost 3%. The volume of shipped goods amounted to 1.8 trillion rubles (6.8% more than in the same period of 2021). Growth was achieved mainly in the extraction of crude oil and natural gas, the production of chemicals and chemical products, as well as in the provision of services in the field of mining and the production of vehicles and equipment. After foreign manufacturers left the Russian market, medicine production in the region increased by 25% and furniture production by 24.5%.
– In 2022, it was important not to collapse the economy, the enterprises of the republic coped with this task with dignity. Since February, none of them have been closed, – said Alexander Sheldyaev, specifying that the issue of the liquidation of the Sibay branch of the Uchalinsky GOK is still on hold and has nothing to do with the current political situation.
It is clear that at the beginning of the year, due to geopolitical events, many companies began to experience certain difficulties. Then a number of preferences and benefits were introduced in the region and an action plan was adopted with a total funding of 54.3 billion rubles. These measures have helped to somewhat mitigate the impact of the sanctions. So, for example, thanks to the program for organizing vocational training and further professional education for employees of industrial enterprises at risk of dismissal, it was possible to save jobs for 3,500 residents of the republic. For these purposes, the Republic of Belarus received 188.9 million rubles from the federal budget – the largest tranche among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Another 1.9 million rubles were allocated from the regional budget. At the end of October, 33 companies signed contracts for the training of 3,574 employees.
In addition, during the mobilization period, the authorities had to help industrial companies obtain deferrals for key skilled workers, and some were even sent home from combat coordination.
– The training of highly qualified welders is not a matter of a year, but they are needed here and now, – noted Alexander Sheldyaev.
He stressed that there is an urgent need for staff in many companies, especially new ones. Thus, only 400 out of 800 employees were able to recruit at the Arkada industrial association for the production of workwear. At the beginning of the SVO, about 2.5 thousand employees were missing, and now 1000. As the official noted, the positive aspect of the geopolitical situation is that it strengthened ties between industrialists and vocational education organizations in the development and implementation of new technologies, as well as training.
– In innovations, we work with the world-class Eurasian Educational and Scientific Center, which brings together science, higher education and business. Today we are all connected. This is something that has been missing for a long time. Likewise, as part of the third package of anti-crisis measures, a center for the promotion of innovation was created in the republic. This is our assistant for working with universities and companies, which promotes the ideas of developers, – said Alexander Sheldyaev.
On the issue of training qualified personnel, an important step was the strategic partnership agreement signed between Bashkortostan and the state corporation "Rostec". The document includes 28 activities, including training aimed at students, increasing the number of internships for students and internships for teachers. As a result of the program, 80% of college and university graduates should be employed in Rostec companies.
Another question is whether these guys will want to work in the industrial enterprises of Bashkiria in the future. Alexander Sheldyaev believes that the proposed salary decides a lot, but not everything.
– It is difficult to name the average salary by industry. But, for example, in light industry it is about 35 thousand rubles. If there are fewer, then no one will come to work. At the Ufa automobile-building production association, skilled employees with higher education receive about 90 thousand rubles a month, and ordinary workers – about 45 thousand rubles, says the minister. – Nowadays, there are more and more companies that take care of their employees: they open their gyms, laundries, dining rooms, computer rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. This approach has a good effect and makes such a workplace more attractive to young people. .
More than 90 Bashkirian companies participate in the state defense order program. In addition, this year, the region began to manufacture products for the needs of the Northern Military District, launched the production of individual first aid kits and sewing of sleeping bags, and also shipped thermal underwear, underwear, galloons for suits and protection For hands. In total, more than 10 companies in the region got on the "mobilization rails." Among them is Magellan, a manufacturer of overalls, which received 1 million rubles to fulfill the state defense order for the purchase of raw materials for the production of combat packs designed to perform tactical and special tasks.
To speed up the replacement of imported analogues in Bashkiria, a program to support innovation, technology transfer and intellectual property protection was launched. In 2022, the Innovation Assistance Fund supported 120 developers from Bashkortostan for 328 million rubles. As a result, the republic ranked fourth in the country according to the results of the national rating of scientific and technological development.

country of citizenship: Germany, United States of America
languages spoken, written or signed: German
educated at: Bryn Mawr College, Leipzig University
occupation: writer, historian, mythographer, teacher, classical scholar
award received: Gold Cross of the Order of Beneficence
Edith Hamilton (August 12, 1867 – May 31, 1963) was an American educator and internationally known author who was one of the most renowned classicists of her era in the United States. A graduate of Bryn Mawr College, she also studied in Germany at the University of Leipzig and the University of Munich. Hamilton began her career as an educator and head of the Bryn Mawr School, a private college preparatory school for girls in Baltimore, Maryland; however, Hamilton is best known for her essays and best-selling books on ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Hamilton's second career as an author began after her retirement from the Bryn Mawr School in 1922. She was sixty-two years old when her first book, The Greek Way, was published in 1930. It was an immediate success and a featured selection by the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1957. Hamilton's other notable works include The Roman Way (1932), The Prophets of Israel (1936), Mythology (1942), and The Echo of Greece (1957). Critics have acclaimed Hamilton's books for their lively interpretations of ancient cultures, and she is described as the classical scholar who "brought into clear and brilliant focus the Golden Age of Greek life and thought ... with Homeric power and simplicity in her style of writing". Her works are said to influence modern lives through a "realization of the refuge and strength in the past" to those "in the troubled present." Hamilton's younger sister was Alice Hamilton, an expert in industrial toxicology and the first woman appointed to the faculty of Harvard University.

What Does A Notary Public Do?
What a notary public does is witness the signing of the documents and ask every party for a sworn oath of authenticity. A notary license holder is an individual legally licensed by a state to administer oaths, take acknowledgments & certify documents. A notary shall train no energy or jurisdiction in criminal cases.
A notary should ensure that the particular person signing a doc to be notarized is who s/he says s/he is. Because identities are critical, a notary public may spend some time verifying the names of the events concerned in the signing.
One misconception a few notary license is that his or her official signature and/or embossing stamp automatically makes a document 'true and authorized'. Paperwork licensed by notaries public are sealed with the notary's seal and are recorded by the notary public in a register maintained by him/her.
The license holders seal shall either be a seal press or a rubber stamp. These shall be the exclusive property of the notary. Their signature and seal is required to authenticate the signatures on many authorized documents. They then verify the person's id, normally executed with a driver's license, presses the seal on the document and signs it.
Should you're an inpatient, you may also ask your nurse or unit clerk to arrange for the providers of a notary public with out charge. Additionally, mail-box shops, copy companies, and banks typically provide Notary providers to the public.
Authentication of a Notary Public's signature is usually required when international and different jurisdictions are involved. The general public may access this record and verify the "official" signature of the notary on the county clerk's office. If not, then a pattern of the Notary's signature and seal must first be authenticated by the appropriate provincial authority answerable for Notaries Public.
Every license holder shall have a seal of office, which shall be affixed to his devices of publications and to his protestations. The term of office is usually 4 years commencing with the effective date specified within the notarial commission. The Office of the Secretary of State performs random background investigations on individuals submitting new or renewal notary public license applications. The applicant can't act as a Notary Public until he receives his certificates of appointment from this office. An appointed license holder might start notarizing documents after receipt of a certificates of appointment from the Secretary of State.

Somebody, make a film about: William Marshal
Posted in Somebody Make a Film About, tagged Earl of Pembroke, Henry III of England, King Arthur, Louise VIII of France, The battle of Lincoln, William Marshal on June 4, 2017| 11 Comments »
A couple of weeks ago I saw King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Guy Ritchie's cockney geezer take on the legend. While not as bad as has been reported (I actually enjoyed it) it was all a little pointless. An over told story that more often than not disappoints on screen. The worst of the film was trying to shoehorn elements of the legend into the directors vision. Surely it would have been better to tell a new original dark ages story? Even better tell a real one.
The battle of Lincoln (or to be precise the second battle of Lincoln) took place on 20 may 1217 between the forces of Henry III of England (an eleven year old child at the time) and (the future) Louise VIII of France. The child kings forces were led by his Regent William Marshal. The 70 year old Marshal was reported to be at the centre of the action and fought fiercely despite his age, this helped cement his reputation as the "best knight that ever lived", a eulogy originally bestowed by the English Cardinal Stephen Langton. Marshal's was successful and set the ensured that Henry reigned for another fifty years and preventing the future king of France from taking the English throne.
William Marshal, grew up during The Anarchy in the 12th century, and was held hostage by King Steven to help ensure the loyalty of his farther John Marshal. He went on to spend his adolescence in Normandy in the household of William de Tancarville. In 1168 while in his early 20's he earned Royal Favour, he was involved in and ultimately injured and captured in a skirmish following an ambush. Before injury and capture he fought fierce rearguard action allowing the escape of some of the party. His bravery help earn him favour with his captors who fed him and dressed his would. His ransom was paid by Eleanor of Aquitaine (Queen consort of Henry II of England) resulting in him rejoining the court of King Henry II.
He went on to receive the title of Earl of Pembroke through marriage. He spent many years as champion tournament competitor, and was an inspiration for Heath Ledger's character, William Thatcher, in the movie A Knight's Tale.
In 1216, he was appointed Regent and protector for the nine-year-old Henry III, and regent of the kingdom. He continued in the role until his death three years later. He was invested into the order of the Knights Templar on his deathbed and was subsequently buried in the Temple Church in London, his tomb remains there to this day.
This is a brief snapshot of an incredible life, and surely one that deserves a movie.
Posted in Somebody Make a Film About, tagged March on Washington, Martin Luther King Jr on August 28, 2013| 2 Comments »
I normally try to avoid writing anything political on this site, however once in a while some things shouldn't be left unsaid. Films unlike any other art form (with the possible exception of music) have the ability to inform, educate and provoke debate at the same time as entertaining. That is why on this day, 50 years after the March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a dream" speech, I can't help thinking someone should make a film about this important turning point in history. A film to inform those unaware of the history and to remind the rest of how far we have come and how far we sadly still have to go.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Somebody Make a Film About: Pat Moss

Later this year we will see the movie Rush directed by Ron Howard about James Hunt and Niki Lauda and their rivalry throughout the 1976 Formula One season. A season whose outcome owed as much to behind closed doors tribunals as it did to races on the track, but one was often mentioned in commentary throughout the 1980's when I started watching F1 racing. This got me thinking of other racing drivers who could have movies made about them. The obvious choice is national hero and "the greatest driver never to win the World Championship" Stirling Moss, however he isn't actually the most interesting Moss. That would be his less well known, his sister Pat Moss who had a successful rally career through the 1950's and 60's.
Taught to drive by her brother at the age of eleven, then in 1953, aged just 18 she started driving in club rallies, a year later she bought a Triumph TR2 and started taking on more serious rallies. She approached Standard-Triumph for sponsorship for the 1955 RAC Rally. They offered to supply a car but no cash. Already having a car she walked away, their loss!
BMC offered her a place as a works driver and gave her expenses and a works MG TF 1500. She went on to achieve 4th place in a Morris Minor of all things in a 1958. Her finest hour came in 1960, having already achieved 4th Place at Belgium's Liège-Rome-Liège Rally to years earlier, she won the over-all title. She won several ladies events including five European Ladies' Rally Championships but continued to race against men. Her race results include 2nd at the Coupe des Alpes, 2nd in the British RAC and 3rd at the East African Safari Rally. The success of the Mini Cooper is well know, what is often overlooked was its first victory. It wasn't a man in the more famous Monte Carlo Rally, it was Pat Moss at the Netherlands Tulip Rally.
Moss sadly died of cancer, aged 73 five years ago. She married fellow rally driver "Mr. Saab" Erik Carlsson in 1963, she contined to race for a further decated for Ford, Saab and Lancia. The pair had a daughter, now a successful show jumper, Susie Rawding. In 1967 she wrote a memoir The Story So Far that could form a basis for any movie project. Suggested casting, Emily Blunt as Pat Moss.

Four Bicester AC athletes represented Oxfordshire in last weekend's inter county cross country championships held at Loughborough. They were up against the best cross country runners in the country in their respective age groups.
Ben West produced one of the finest ever long distant runs by a Bicester male as he led home the Oxfordshire team in the under 17 men's event. Even though he is still in his first year in this age group, West produced an extraordinary performance to place 25th out of the 263 finishers clocking 20mins 57 secs, less than a minute behind the winner. This run crowned off what has been a marvellous season where he claimed three cross country titles.
Milly Couzens improved on her effort of last season in the under 13 girl's event where she placed 52nd out of 304 finishers clocking 13mins 50 secs. Couzens was 2nd home for the Oxfordshire team who were a creditable 14th out of the 40 finishing teams.
Like West, Max Nicolle is in his first year of his age group and he was 4th scorer for the Oxfordshire team in the under 15 boy's event as they placed 28th out of the 41 teams. Nicolle finished 174th out of the 294 finishers clocking 17mins 54secs. And there was a welcome selection for Tom Gould in the under 20 men's event as he finished 160th (35mins 54secs).

Just Hours Away – Israel Heads to the Polls
The final polls conducted until the Friday before Election Day on Tuesday, March 23, all suggested continued political deadlock. Neither the anti- nor the pro-Netanyahu blocs are expected to receive 61 seats in order to form a government.
Naftali Bennett's Yamina Party, however, which is currently not committed to either bloc, could give the anti-Netanyahu parties a coalition.
The final poll broadcasted by KAN Channel 11 gave Netanyahu's Likud Party 31 seats, followed by Yesh Atid with 19 seats, New Hope and Yamina tied for the third largest party with nine seats each, and the Joint List is stable at eight. The ultra-Orthodox Shas Party also has eight, while United Torah Judaism (UTJ) and Yisrael Beytenu have seven seats each.
Labor and the Religious Zionist Party received five seats each, while Blue and White, Meretz and Ra'am crossed the electoral threshold with four seats each.
The above polls, plus a number of other polls done by various outlets, will be the last before the election on March 23 in accordance with Israel's election campaign laws.
AFSI prays this election is the one that sticks. After a string of many elections Israelis have gone through over the last two years, we trust that the winner will secure the necessary 61 seats needed to form a government. We also look forward to Israel's new Prime Minister moving the country forward, specifically in applying Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
Israel's election is heading toward a deadlock, final polls predict, by Cody Levine. Jerusalem Post, March 21, 2021
Renewal and Expansion In Beit Shemesh
PA Must Rethink Peace, Aim For 'Soft Sovereignty"


This wedding combined some of my very favorite things–a pretty summer palette of yellow and grey, the magnificent Geo. W. Peabody Library, Jennifer McMenamin Photography (definitely one of my all-time favorite photographers–so talented!), and a couple very much in love who obviously cherished every moment of their wedding day.
Katie and Sean were married in June of 2013 and the palette she selected was perfect for a sweet summer wedding. the maids wore charcoal grey dresses and the soft yellows with a few pops of deeper yellow and the accents of grey-silver by way of velvety dusty miller and silver brunia were the perfect complement. Even the recently renovated Marikle Chapel at Notre Dame of Maryland University was dressed in Katie's palette of buttercream yellow.
Bouts and corsages were comprised of white ranunculus, yellow spray roses, calla lily, crespedia (better known as "billy balls") and silver brunia.
Katie was walked down the aisle by two distinguished gentlemen, her very proud grandfathers.
Jennifer certainly captured the depth of feeling as they left their granddaughter at the alter with her waiting groom.
Tables were set with an eclectic collection of books and clusters of flowers in delicate vases.
Special thanks to Jennifer McMenamin for letting me share these beautiful pictures and congratulations to Katie and Sean!


Crosby residents can skip this tedious job totally by working with a professional cleaning provider that specializes in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specifically designed to have homes prepared for those moving in to settle in as quickly as possible. Having your house cleaned extensively before you move out refers common courtesy if absolutely nothing else, but occasionally it is a compulsory requirement, specifically if you're a former renter.
Besides that there are many reasons why it is imminent for Crosby occupants to employ a professional home cleaning company when they are moving in or moving out. There is absolutely nothing basic about a move. Many tasks require to be achieved given a short duration of time. The scope of the cleaning requirements that have to be done can be overwhelming certainly, specifically if the occupant is burdened with work and other obligations. Windows should be cleaned down, radiators should be cleaned, tiles should be pristine, and cooking area cupboards have to be emptied out. Existing home furnishings should be dusted and carpeting have to be extensively cleaned.
The contract signed by the homeowner and the occupant usually consists of a provision that obliges the latter to leave the property as they had found it-empty, pristine, and undamaged. In addition, for renters who have chosen to move out, the property manager may include additional charges versus deposit dollars if certain areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is definitely not the priority for someone who is confronted with the powerful challenges of settling into a new location and starting a new life. There are numerous things that have to be accomplished in so little time, not the least which is finishing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to satisfy their end of the contract, the more useful option for the tenant is to work with Crosby expert cleaning company, rather than do the cleaning themselves.
The major benefit of employing Crosby expert cleaning company is that they can do the task more completely and more efficiently. A cleaning company can work wonders, and recover a place that has been lived in for quite some time into an area that is virtually brand new. An individual without sufficient experience in making use of cleaning equipment and cleaning solutions would not understand what kind of chemical to utilize to get rid of a certain type of stain.
Moving into a new place in Crosby can be stressful. More than likely, the new arrivals do not know anyone in the area, and there is nobody to give an additional hand in preparing the place for the furnishings and individual results of the renter. Home owners or supervisors typically need the last occupant to leave the properties in excellent condition, it is still essential for the new resident to ensure that the area is certainly a wholesome, safe, and pleasant place to live in. Professional cleaning service companies provide not only end-of-tenancy cleaning services. They might likewise be called upon to carry out a thorough cleaning and maintenance, take care of the property, check the little information, and establish that the new home is certainly all set for occupancy.
Before you leave the house, check for busted items and ensure you replace every one of them. In case you forget to replace such things like lights or missing screws, it is very likely that your homeowner would take a large portion off your initial deposit for these petty items.
You will certainly have to make an option between employing a specialist to clean it or resorting to cleaning it on your own if the house has wall to wall carpeting. If you look at the present condition of the carpet and match it to the initial state, this decision would be easy. When you make this decision, bringing it to the original condition ought to be your aim.
You must also inspect the walls to see if there are spots on them. Walls with stains can be a big problem due to direct exposure. Ensure you get rid of wall-stains with a moderate hand to stay clear of wearing down the paint due to the fact that if that happens, you will certainly lose a big portion of your deposit money.
After you have done all the cleaning, establish that you check the refrigerators and ovens. The seals of the refrigerators should be in proper condition, and the ovens should be clean enough for use. When moving out in Crosby, these checks will certainly increase the probabilities of getting the deposit amount in whole.
Do your research! There are actually lots of business that offer move out cleaning and steam carpeting cleaning covering many properties as apartments, condos, town-homes, single family homes throughout where you live, and picking the best one will indicate a practical, problem-free move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of savings. If you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing home, book as far beforehand as possible. Reserving toward the last days of the month frequently means greater rates and less accessibility. Giving your prospective business 2 to 3 weeks notice will typically lead to an affordable rate, and enable you to select a consultation for the local time and date that suits you.

Microsoft Word is easy, accessible and low-cost – and most authors can operate it almost in their sleep. So what are the attractions of a specialist writing software Scrivener, that make the learning curve worthwhile? Tasmanian novelist Alison Clifford shares her experience.
I've used Word for years. I know the program well and I've used its features to make my writing easier. The problems many writers seem to experience haven't occurred with me—I've never had Word crash. As far as word processing goes, I've seen no reason to change. I've been tempted by Scrivener several times, but always stayed with Word. Until now.
So Why Switch to Scrivener?
I write romance suspense novels. Each time I forgot which chapter a certain clue was in, or when I couldn't remember the details of some research, I became frustrated and wasted time trying to find it. I tried setting up spreadsheets to record details, or using a notebook, but it's always been a juggle. The ability to have it all to hand prompted me to look at Scrivener once more.
The learning curve. Every time I looked at Scrivener reviews there were always comments about how much time it took to learn how to use. Sure, there are courses to do, but did I want to use a program I needed to do a course for when I could write using Word? How much time would I be wasting, and would it be worth it?
This time though, I watched the two introductory videos on the Literature and Latte website. Not once, but twice. That was when I started seriously considering changing to Scrivener. I had a better idea of what it offered and it didn't look too difficult to negotiate the basic functions. And it has a free trial. The temptation to have everything in the one place was too much to resist any longer.
Well, that was an anticlimax! I had little problem with getting a good grasp on the basic functions. I credit this to two things: watching the introductory videos again before I started; and taking the time to go through the tutorial. It's also helpful not to get hung up on what they call things, e.g. a document could also be referred to as a chapter. Following the tutorial through was simple and taught me all I needed to know. Also, the tutorial is always available under the Help menu, so refreshing knowledge on functions is easy. There is a manual—a big one! It's searchable, and I used it to work out how to import from Scapple (another Literature and Latte product that I use for planning). Perhaps not the easy way to earn, but the information is there if I need it.
Learning Scrivener – or at least the basic functions of it – was easier than I had expected.
Oh, the functions! I'm using Scrivener to edit the manuscript for my next novel and adding chapter synopsis, labels, document and project notes as I go. It's made the process so much easier to have the information right on the screen. I love that I can add labels to chapters and find them with a few clicks of my mouse. No more scrolling through to find what I need! The chapter synopsis will help with the flow of the story and serve as a quick way to refresh my memory.
The function I didn't expect and now love? Document and project notes. I can add notes to the document or project, whichever is appropriate. These notes can also be accessed when using the overview of the project, or the corkboard function. By clicking on the relevant line or card, the notes appear. So useful, and no more notebooks cluttering up my desk!
I've set up my own template based on my current project. It was a quick and straightforward process and now I'll have the basics of all I need right from the start: labels; character files; and settings files. I took inspiration from the templates provided by Scrivener to enhance my design. And I can transfer the character files from one project to the next if I'm working on a series.
No more piles of print outs, no more searching Pinterest for that article I saved…somewhere. I can have all the research in the project file and using the split screen function I can look at the research as I am writing.
Does that mean I'm giving Word the flick?
Well, I still need to send a Word file to my editor, so it's not completely gone. I gave the export function a trial run, and it seems to work well (phew). I also enjoy the formatting process, so until further notice I'll be using it to prepare my files for uploading for publication. Although I won't save the cost of purchasing Word, Scrivener is not expensive, and it's a one-off purchase.
Changing to Scrivener was nowhere near as traumatic as I thought it would be. The program was easy to install, and the tutorial was simple to complete. The features that drew me to Scrivener are all I'd hope they'd be and I don't regret making the change.
Are you thinking of switching? Give it a go. Hey, you can always go back to what you used before. I doubt I will—I love Scrivener.
Alison Clifford has independently published seven romance suspense novels, drawing inspiration from her childhood in country Victoria and her time serving in the Royal Australia Air Force. She now lives with her family in Tasmania. For more information about Alison Clifford, visit her website: www.alisonclifford.net.
I too agree that Scrivener is a wonderful tool! As I write each book in my series, I'm exploring the possibilities available on Scrivener and utilizing the tools. A learning curve for sure, but the sweet part is its value even if you never learn all the bells and whistles. So helpful to read about how other authors use it. Love the project targets/daily word counts!
I totally agree with you Alison. I love Scrivener. Your path to moving over to it was similar to mine. I'm sure I don't use all the features it has – perhaps I'll add them as I get to know about them – but having everything to hand under one roof, so to speak, is brilliant.
I really don't know how I managed without it before!

Q: Rendering of point pattern from a data frame using Spatstat is taking too long to execute in R/Shiny I am building a shiny app to perform spatial analysis using the spatstat package. I do not have any issue exciting the code. But rendering the map, points and contours are taking quite a long time to load on the map. The data frame has almost 87,000 data points to render.
My code to load the shapefile and create ppp data format is as below:
library(sf)
library(spatstat)
library(sp)
library(rgdal)
library(maptools)
library(ggmap)
library(RColorBrewer)

s.sf <- readShapeSpatial("india.shp")
s.owin <- as(s.sf, "owin")

breakpoints <- c(-50,-40,-30,-20,-10,0,100,200,300,400,500,600,800,1000,1200)
colors<- c("#08519c","#3182bd","#9ecae1","#c6dbef","#f7f7f7","#fff5f0","#fee0d2","#fcbba1","#fc9272","#fb6a4a","#ef3b2c","#cb181d","#a50f15","#67000d")

# The data here has 87,000 rows post filtering
df <- read.csv("data_illness.csv")
df <- df[df$condition == 1,]

# taking look long to create ppp data format
data.ppp <- ppp(x = df$Longitude, y = df$Latitude, window = s.owin, marks = df$condition)
plot(density(data.ppp, sigma = 1), col=colors, breaks = breakpoints, pch=".")
contour(density(data.ppp, 1), axes = F, add=TRUE, pch=".")
plot(s.owin, add=TRUE, las=1, pch=".")

I need an alternative/efficient way to run the code so the loading of the map is quick on the shiny app.
I am stuck with this and really need help here!

A: It appears that your own data may be in geographic coordinates (lon,lat),
which may give a bit of distortion to your results. In spatstat everything
is assumed planar, so you should really project your polygon and points
before converting to spatstat format.
Since we don't have access to your data I make some fake data below to give
a few suggestions for improvements.
library(spatstat)
W1 <- Window(chorley)
set.seed(42)
X1 <- runifpoint(87000, win = W1)

Now X1 is a ppp with 87000 points in a polygonal window. The command
density.ppp estimates the intensity of points by kernel density estimation.
You should only excecute this command once and save the results for plotting:
inten1 <- density(X1, sigma = 1)
plot(inten1)
contour(inten1, add = TRUE)

If the conversion to ppp needs to be faster you can add check = FALSE if
you already know that all points are inside the window of observation, so the
code doesn't need to check this for all 87000 points. Compare these:
df1 <- coords(X1)

t0 <- proc.time()
X1 <- ppp(df1$x, df1$y, window = W1)
proc.time()-t0
#>    user  system elapsed
#>   0.096   0.000   0.096

t0 <- proc.time()
X1 <- ppp(df1$x, df1$y, window = W1, check = FALSE)
proc.time()-t0
#>    user  system elapsed
#>   0.002   0.000   0.003

I don't see anywhere in your code where you plot the actual points. Could
you make your example reproducible and show the results and explain clearly
which part you need to be faster.

A: Try data.table::fread("data_illness.csv") instead of read.csv("data_illness.csv") as it is often faster to read larger files.
Also, pre-filter your csv to only contain the columns you use (e.g. condition, Longitude, Latitude)
Do you need to load all 87,000 data points?  Can you summarise them first, for example, averaging specific coordinate squares?

The Hope Camp Trail heads east from Camino Loma Alta Trailhead for about 100 yards down to the Ridgeview Trail split. Turn left and begin a steady, mild climb on hard packed sand.
Many of the park's cacti and cholla species can be found right along this path. Views of Rincon Peak (8,482') emerge on the NE horizon, the district's eponymous summit.
The final 100-200 yards steepen up to a saddle that connects two small knolls, where the trail fades at its highest point (.8 miles : 3,350').
There is no clear end to the trail, but it does widen at a cul de sac of sorts, indicating the intended turnaround point. A social path continues in the same general direction (north) higher into the foothills. Be mindful of regulations that limit off-trail travel, and of rattlesnakes in this area.
Saguaros are numerous, large and well-developed in this area. Saguaros flourish from 2,500' - 4,000', and in warm areas that drain water efficiently. Steep, south facing slopes above this trail are ideal saguaro habitat.
Six species of rattlesnakes inhabit Saguaro National Park: Western Diamondback, Tiger, Northern Black-tailed, Mojave, Sidewinder and Arizona Black.
Dogs are not permitted on hiking and riding trails in Saguaro National Park.
Camino Loma Alta Trailhead is located at the end of Camino Loma Alta Road, on the southwest boundary of the Rincon Mountain District.
To reach the trailhead from Tucson, take Speedway Blvd (east) to Freeman Road. Turn right (south) on Freeman Road; this will turn into Old Spanish Trail Road just prior to reaching the visitor center.
Continue on Old Spanish Trail Road to Camino Loma Alta Road. Turn left (north) on Camino Alta Road. The final .5 miles is a graded dirt road.
From the parking area, follow the path just beyond the NPS sign to a gate. Unlatch the gate to access the trail. Stock trailers must park in a designated area just before the start of the dirt road.
"NO DOGS. Dogs are strictly prohibited on trail. There are three signs at the trailhead that state the prohibitions. Park Rangers will issue tickets for violations."

Three members of the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society were thanked by the City of Santa Clarita this week for their work to memorialize the victims of the 1928 St. Francis Dam disaster.
The former dam in San Francisquito Canyon, part of the L.A. City aqueduct system, collapsed just before midnight Monday, March 12, 1928. Nearly 13 billion gallons of water were unleashed on sleepy residents from Saugus to the sea. An estimated 411 people perished in the flood. It was California's second deadliest disaster after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
The St. Francis Dam Disaster site is a state historic landmark but has never been recognized at the federal level even though it was America's worst civil engineering failure of the 20th Century and prompted dam safety measures that are still utilized today.
City Councilwoman Laurene Weste presented certificates to Historical Society directors Alan Pollack, Dianne Erskine-Hellrigel and Ann Stansell for their efforts to raise public awareness of the victims who paid for the development of Los Angeles with their lives.
Stansell was the first researcher to put names to casualty numbers in a comprehensive manner. As a graduate student at California State University, Northridge, she spearheaded the "Forgotten Casualties Project," which identified each individual victim (some of whom may never be known) and determined their final resting places. Stansell holds a master's degree in anthropology and now works as a National Park Service archaeologist.
Pollack, president of the Historical Society and a medical doctor by profession, came up with the idea to have the disaster site designated a national memorial after visiting a similar dam disaster site in Johnstown, Penn., which has the federal designation.
Pollack teamed up with Erskine-Hellrigel, president of the local Community Hiking Club and a veteran promoter of environmental legislation, to draft and lobby for passage of the Saint Francis Dam Disaster Memorial Act. The act cleared the House of Representatives in the last congressional session and has been reintroduced in the Senate this year.
The legislation, which incorporates Stansell's and others' research, would designate 353 acres of already federally owned Forest Service land as the memorial site and would accommodate a visitors center to be built with privately raised funds. Pollack and Erskine-Hellrigel have established the St. Francis Dam National Memorial Foundation for that purpose and are actively seeking monetary pledges.
The Historical Society will hold two events in March to mark the 91st anniversary of the disaster. The society's annual lecture at the Saugus Train Station and bus tour to the dam site will be held Saturday, March 9, 2019, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Sunday, March 31, the society will host a 52-mile bus tour of affected properties in the flood plain from Santa Clarita to Santa Paula.
The March 9 lecture is free; the March 9 and March 31 bus tours are ticketed events. For information and reservations, visit SCVHS.org or call 661-254-1275.
