Can't believe it's already Yellowstone Day Three! It is always exciting to see Bison. Today there is Bison in the fields and even one that wandered along the road. That was a treat in itself to see a Bison so close and not trying to view one while driving by. Traffic is at a stand still until a Park Ranger came to make sure there weren't any people foolish enough to get out of their cars and scratch these ears!
Yesterday we walked along the trails of the Grand Prismatic Spring and Turquoise Pool. Because this is one of the most spectacular sites to visit we took a different route to view it. Today we took a hike on a hill above the basin that gives us a fantastic view of the colors. Our granddaughter was so excited about this, as this is what she talked about most of the trip. The colors were just incredible and you could see more of the spring because it was warmer outside which created less steam coming up from the hot water.
The spring run-off is in full swing in Yellowstone, and the rapids and falls on the Firehole River are breathtaking. We took several breaks along the river to take in the sights. According to the staff, this year has more rain than normal, so every river we either drove by or stopped at was overflowing and moving swiftly.
A must-see for our daughter was to see a moose, and today is her lucky day. Up close we could see a Mama Moose and her baby. On the way back to Henry's Lake from Yellowstone we spotted the two of them and had just enough space to pull over to watch them. Oh what a joy it was to see and everyone was very excited because we could get some good moose pictures to remember our Yellowstone visit.
Another full day at Yellowstone,! We are ready to kick back and re-join Jeff back at our base camp at Henry's Lake State Park across the border in Idaho. Jeff was not able to make today's trip because he is recovering from falling off the ladder while trying to wash the RV's front window in May.
It is only 114 miles from Paradise Valley (Livingston Montana) to Henry's Lake State Park at Island Park, Idaho. We picked this park because it is only 15 minutes or so from the West Yellowstone entrance. Web reviews were good but it was hard to find many pictures to show the lay-out. We were very pleased with the park.
Off of highway 20 just past Island Park is the road leading to the state park. Go up and over a knoll, then you see the park and Henry's Lake along with a small range of spectacular mountains to the west. Reservations are required, so we had our spot picked out already. The facilities look brand new with a really nice bath house. Our site was equipped with water and electric, including 50 amp power, however we lost one leg of our 50 amps during a wild lightning storm the 2nd night, so dropped down to 30 amps. We had parked closer to the electrical box to give our kids room to set up their tent on the asphalt pad where Lola was parked, so we elected to just keep 30 amp power and have the park staff repair the electrical equipment after we left.
The bath house has regular toilets and there are additional "pit" toilets scattered around the park. This park has the newer pit toilets that have cement floors and the staff must use something like Happy Camper enzyme treatment because as long as the previous occupant has put the lid down there is very little smell ;-).
There is lots of room between camping spots, with mowed grass and wild flowers in between. The staff is friendly and everything is well maintained.
Henry's Lake State Park - Idaho near West Yellowstone.
After checking the Idaho State parks websites and a few blogs it looked like it was okay to fly the drone. I took it up to get pictures of Mt. Two Top to the east and Black Mountain and Bald Peak to the north. A few days later while I was doing some maintenance on the drone a ranger stopped by to let me know that drones could no longer be flown in Idaho state parks. He was very nice about it, and if I had wanted to get some more pictures it would have been easy to drive off the park land to fly.
If you are looking for a campground near Yellowstone that also has boating and ATV access, check out Henry's Lake State park. We were sure glad we did!
After spending a couple of days in Thermopolis and going to the Dinosaur Dig what could be better than stopping in Bozeman to go to the Museum of the Rockies (MOR). It has been a lot of fun traveling with our daughter and her family.
At the MOR the main exhibits are more dinosaurs and there are also exhibits on Native Americans, early pioneers and a traveling show about guitars. The third floor is a hands on area for kids to check out how a volcano is created and the surrounding area. There are several different shows in the Planetarium that are a must to see. The MOR is a great experience for young and old and is in a wonderful facility.
We left the dogs in Lola during our visit to the museum, and while the rest of the family went shopping in the museum store I went out to check on the dogs.
Bozeman Montana, the Museum of the Rockies and on to Henry's Lake Idaho.
It had been raining while we were in the museum and because we left the windows open in Lola the inside was a little damp. Once we all got together again the girls decided to go shopping. Can't resist a Costco and there is one in Bozeman.
Our son in law and I stayed in Lola with the kids and dogs. While we were waiting for the girls to return a tremendous lighting and rain storm went through Bozemen. Lola was rocking and the streets had temporary flooding.
By the time everyone was together again at the MOR the rains had stopped however that didn't stop traffic from being congested. We decided to go back the way we came in from I90 to MOR. Much easier drive.
The drive from Bozeman to Henry's Lake Idaho is a very picturesque drive with mountain streams and cliffs around each corner. I enjoyed driving especially since there are very few grades to deal with, and the ones we do have are gradual.
Traffic starts to increase as we drove along the Gallatin Gateway in Montana getting closer to Yellowstone National Park. We had become spoiled driving around the eastern side of Yellowstone through Wyoming and central Montana and seeing more antelope than cars!
We finally pulled into Henry's Lake State Park at 6 p.m. ready to set up camp and have dinner.

FESTIVAL REVIEW: TRNSMT Day 1
By Liam Menzies(@blnkclyr)
It's finally arrived: after months of waiting and distortion fuelled trailers, TRNSMT has made its debut. Facing the feat of having to fill in the shoes of Scotland's quintessential festival T In The Park, this weekend will be facing a lot of scrutiny both in its layout in addition to the music.
Friday was very much the "appeal to the auld yins" day though that didn't mean it was gonna alienate anyone that was young by any means. In fact, it was arguably the strongest day out of the entire weekend and for good reason too: let's dive in.
The Vegan Leather
Who would have honestly thought that one of the most exciting sets of the entire day would have came from a wee glitzy group from Paisley? Well, those who were aware of The Vegan Leather before today certainly did and even their expectations were blown out of the water. With frontman Gian-Luca walking out in a wee, glimmering disco jacket wielding his guitar and a silver looking (fake) peacock, the feeling of the band's performance was firmly set.
Tracks like Shake It, while still in their infancy, still got a reaction from the crowd with a lot of people near the front dancing and chanting along: when you have Talking Heads meets Yeah Yeah Yeahs meet LCD-Soundsystem as the closest to a description of your band's sound, who can really blame them? Out of the lot though, This House gathered the biggest reaction out of the band's setlist, even literally bringing the audience to their knees just for that eruptious climax of both the song and the band's set. If The Vegan Leather weren't on anyone's radar before this gig, then they for sure as hell are firmly placed at the top now.
One of the first bands to play the TRNSMT main stage, Everything Everything had a lot of pressure on them to deliver the goods – they brought them first class by art-pop drone, attaching a big hug and some weird line about a fat child in a push chair along with it. The set's highlights were undoubtedly the moments where the band played anything off Get To Heaven, an album which converted so many and affirmed the love of fans prior: Jonathan Higgs' vocals are pushed to their very limits and just when you think they're about to break, they metamorphose into these grandiose displays of sheer beauty. Some new stuff was shown off that's set to appear on the band's upcoming LP A Fever Dream on August 18th and from what we saw, we have more than enough reason to get excited with some dance elements surely being implemented into their latest song's DNA. Sadly, we'll have to wait until then to get a better feel of where Everything Everything are going but from this set alone, they're already at the peak of Kilimanjaro in terms of quality.
The man's voice has a likeable quality to it akin to leather or caramel. Spent most of my time at the main stage melting over it. Matched with a decent set. – Fraser Nunn (@badknitbearD)
It wouldn't be a Scottish music festival without having, you know, a Scottish band playing on its first day on the main stage. Question is, who on earth do you get to play before fucking Radiohead? The question was answered by a melodic and resounding "us" by Belle and Sebastian, one act that have managed to make it both here and over the pond though it was clear tonight that they haven't lost their love of both Scotland and their roots.
Their was the back and forth patter between the crowd and frontman Stuart Murdoch who told stories of him walking through Glasgow Green after being at the old 13th Note and getting on the ferry to Dunoon to give some story to the tracks they were about to play. Oh boy, the tracks: not wanting to take from one album too much, Belle and Sebastian gave a diverse setlist with some unappreciated gems as well as some fan favourites, The Boy With The Arab Strap and Stars Of Track and Field getting an overwhelmingly positive reception by the audience. Even those who may have been in the crowd just to get a bit closer to Thom Yorke and co. were surprised by just how good the act were: hell, even fans like ourselves couldn't believe the showmanship displayed by a band over two decades into their lifespan.
Here it was, the main event. Radiohead's reputation precedes them though that changes from person to person: some will naively tell you that they're a bunch of moaners, others will tell you they're the best band of all time – funnily enough, both statements aren't exclusive from the either. As the band began things with a curveball, Let Down starting off the night's proceedings instead of the tour's old faithful DayDreaming intro, the way tonight's performance was gonna go was set.
There were too many highlights to count: Thom Yorke's infectious da dancing to Myxomatosis had mulitple folk in the audience trying to replicate it, there was the sing-song loveliness of the band's not so deep cuts like No Surprises and Paranoid Android, beautiful moments where the two infused like during Bodysnatchers that probably had the biggest reaction from the audience even though it's not one of the best known tracks from the group. Repeatedly thanking the audience throughout the set, Yorke and co's appreciation for both everyone in attendance and the fans who have got them there was honest and heartwarming.
"This is what you get, when you mess with us" Yorke sings gracefully on closing track Karma Police: if this is the result then everyone should fuck with Radiohead more often.

Unless you are a soldier deployed in a war affected zone, you don't expect to meet safety challenges in your routine workday. As bad as it is, the assumption is being challenged even small and medium sized businesses as well as sprawling enterprises.
Right from cyber security to workplace bullying and harassment, there are all kinds of real risks that can bring down the levels of safety at your workplace.
In such a situation, you have to ask yourself – what can I do as a leader to keep my business and my employees secure. In this guide, I will cover 4 risks, and their remedies.
Social engineering and phishing practices particularly target individuals working in thriving businesses, often with an attempt to steal business information, or trick the victim into making payments to the scammers' accounts on false pretexts.
In spite of the widespread cognizance about such kind of scams, it's surprising how many people continue to fall prey to these. That's partially because of the fact that scammers keep on inventing new ways to use technology to dupe people.
Include summaries of such instances in your internal memos and newsletters.
Domestic and international travels are a reality of the modern business setup.
Theft of anything from luggage, phone, purse, to camera, personal belongings and crucial documents is devastating for anyone, even more so for your employees travelling to perform business duties.
Plus, there are risks of health problems, cancelled or delayed flights, etc. This makes business travel insurance a must, not only for yourself, but also for your employees. While working with travel insurance providers, keep these points in mind.
Negotiate with the insurer for insurance policies that match well with the profile of potential travelers.
Enquire about the potential tax credit advantages that are to be availed in the capacity of an employer that takes responsibility of its employees' travels.
Look for peripheral services such as immigration guidance, cultural guides for cross-continent travelers, and visa acquisition counseling.
You won't know them till they wreak havoc. Till then, you'll continue believing that your workspace is completely safe and secure. However, every office has several potential hazards, hidden in plain sight.
Cleaners working with heavy equipment, mechanics operating heavy machinery, construction workers with exposed heavy and sharp tools, or warehouses with stack after stack of precariously arranged heavy boxes – it could be anything. To make sure you don't have to learn the lessons the hard way, arrange routine hazard identification audits by conducting floor walks.
Even if the state where your business operates doesn't require you to arrange mandatory evacuation drills, do so.
You just don't know when a panic situation could erupt and cause stampede-like situations in congested office spaces.
Anything from a bee attack to a fire accident could cause such unfortunate occurrences.
Fire safety drills and evacuation drills, apart from communicating clearly designated safe refuge areas for employees – that's how you remain prepared to face unsavory instances.
Chances are that you did not think beyond basic insurance and fire extinguishers to keep your business and employees safe. This guides helps you look beyond, and prepare for 'unlucky' days.

#BringBackOurGirls was a mistake

Listen to the story.

The global #BringBackOurGirls campaign is a great example of how a noble cause can backfire.
The abduction of over 200 girls from their school dorm in Chibok, Nigeria, by Boko Haram militants in April 2014 could have been an opportunity for the world to clamor for the release of the thousands of women and girls the insurgents have kidnapped in northeast Nigeria. Instead, it focused only on the Chibok schoolgirls and made celebrities out of them. That was a mistake.
The Chibok girls' names and faces were displayed in strategic locations around Nigeria's capital city, Abuja, and during protest marches from Paris to New York. Some schools in Nigeria asked each student to select the name of one missing Chibok girl and pray every day for her return. A list of the girls' names were displayed in newspapers and on large screens during humanitarian events.
That fame is now the greatest obstacle between the Chibok girls and a normal life after captivity.
In May 2016, Amina Ali Nkeki, the first of the missing Chibok girls to be seen after over two years, was rescued by the Nigerian military. She was flown VIP-style, by helicopter, to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja. The international media was invited to the ceremony. In October, 21 Chibok girls were freed by Boko Haram in a deal brokered by the Swiss government and the International Committee of the Red Cross. They were also feted in Abuja. Subsequently, two more Chibok girls were found by the military.
But, months after the cameras were turned off and the curtains drawn, the girls remain in government custody. None of them have been allowed to return home to their families in Chibok.
Thanks to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, so famous are the girls that the Nigerian military says it cannot guarantee their safety if they go home. Any other girl rescued by the Nigerian military can walk the streets freely, but the government is unwilling to risk the international uproar that would definitely accompany the re-abduction of a Chibok girl.
The Chibok girls' celebrity status also seems to have played a part in their continued captivity. Released Chibok girls describe a peripatetic life, constantly on the move with the militants. Some unsung rescued girls I've interviewed described, in contrast, being abandoned as the militants fled the approach of the Nigerian army. In some cases, the militants aimed stones at the women and girls, considering them a burden to take along as they fled, preferring to have them killed rather than freed.
Clearly, the militants knew better than to abandon their valuable merchandise and their claim to fame. The Chibok girls also say that they were fed plentifully until food ran out some weeks before they were released; given fabric to sew new clothes for themselves; and provided medical care from doctors whenever they were ill — treatment that is the complete opposite of that described by the average girl in Boko Haram captivity.
Without a doubt, the world meant well when it rallied round the #BringBackOurGirls campaign and called for the release of the Chibok girls. No one could have meant to create this problem for the girls and their families. But, the next time an opportunity arises to support a cause in Africa, let us all pause and think, and plan and consider, before jumping on the bandwagon and rushing to tweet.

Footprints - Looking back on 2021 and into 2022
Throughout 2021, Xplora has contributed to increasing physical activity and creating a safe environment for children. Despite a year in which the world has dealt with closures and insecurity, the Xplora community has mobilised to have record-high activity in our Goplay campaigns—campaigns aimed to motivate children to increase physical activity, development, and play. Parents, you should be proud of that!
We will launch more exciting products and innovative services this year—and we are celebrating five years as a company. You won't want to miss 2022 with us, as we are sure that we will have a lot of fun together throughout the year. Read and stay tuned; 2022 will be the year!
We want to briefly wrap up 2021 and then tell you what exciting opportunities are to come in 2022. But first, happy New Year to you and yours! We hope that the holidays have been good, even though it may have been a little different for many of you. Let us hope that the new year will give us more of the "normal" back and that we can soon get together with all our near and dear ones whenever we want.
Thank you very much - and 10,158,979 bottles of clean water
We want to start by saying a big thank you to you. Thank you very much to you, our loyal customer, who knows us and our offers well. Many thanks to you, our brand new Xplora customers, who have a lot to explore from our "archive." Without you, we would not be able to achieve all the lofty goals we set for ourselves. With hundreds of thousands of children on the team, we will work together towards more incredible goals in 2022.
In 2021, Xplora kids helped supply 4,000 children with clean water for a year. Together with UNICEF Kid Power®, we gave the equivalent of 2 bottles of clean water for every 1,000 steps. In total, we managed to donate the equivalent of 10,158,979 bottles!
It has been inspiring and meaningful for us to encourage children to be active when many places like schools and playgrounds have been closed. We have invested a lot in this in the past year—and our users have really exceeded expectations, says CEO of Xplora, Sten Kirkbak.
We would also like to thank you, our digital friends, who follow us on social media. You, who use your time to leave likes and comments—and to you, who provide constructive feedback to us so we can always continue to improve. We value that highly. We hope you will continue with this positive trend in 2022, which will help lift us to new heights throughout the year. We need your opinion and your voice. After all, it is you and your children we are here for!
Social responsibility in focus
Through the award-winning activity platform, Goplay, Xplora has launched several campaigns where children could participate, compete and engage with important topics. Through the partnership with UNICEF Kid Power®, we have inspired children all over the world to donate clean water to children in need. In 2022, 10 million bottles of clean water will have ensured 4,000 children access to clean water for one year.
By signing up for the One Tree Planted campaign, children with Xplora's smartwatches have helped plant new trees—equivalent to an area the size of 21 football pitches—in areas ravaged by forest fires.
In 2021, Xplora helped contribute to several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our Goplay platform was also chosen to be a part of an important pilot project (Net Zero City) that will contribute to the UN's vision that 10,000 cities will be carbon neutral by 2030.
Our vision is that we can help change the world. Not only by motivating kids to reduce screen time and become more physically active, but also by inspiring children to help other children and use their activity for good.
Over half a million families have Xplora
In January 2021, Xplora launched its premium model, the X5 Play. We also announced in Q3 that over 540,000 Xplora watches have been sold worldwide since our launch almost five years ago. In August 2021, we celebrated over 100,000 users in the Nordic region alone. Xplora is also the leading player in several of its main European markets and is currently available in 20 countries.
By the way, did you know that Xplora is now a telecom company? Earlier this year, we acquired our Nordic distributor and MVNO, Xplora Mobile. That means that most phones we sell in the Nordics come with our own SIM and mobile subscription, which gives our customers easier activation and a customised and optimal subscription. Simply, a better user experience overall.
As a result of the acquisition of Xplora Mobile, we will also in 2022 roll out our own Xplora Connect (SIM) in the American and European markets, says Kirkbak.
New services in 2022
2022 will be the most exciting and eventful year so far in the company's five-year journey. It all started with the founder losing his son at a shopping centre in Oslo, which became the background for a small technology start-up, to now be a listed and international company with nearly 100 employees.
This year, we will launch more new products and services than we have ever done before. We are working on new smartwatch models, and we will introduce more exciting Goplay campaigns, says Kirkbak.
2022 will be the year where Xplora will give everything to surpass itself—and will continue to ensure that your children and you, parents, will experience Xplora as a great resource in everyday life—with security, increased activity, development, discovery, and play as keywords.
Xplora Pay
One of our highly anticipated new services is Xplora Pay, a concept where Xplora's smartwatches will function as pocket money, savings, and even a bank card. Xplora Pay will open up a safe entrance for children to the world of money. We want to introduce "pocket money" in a new, clever and flexible way.
We want to help children learn the importance of setting up good savings routines through their first pocket money and savings service. There will be many innovative and exciting solutions for both children and parents, says a secretive Kirkbak.
By 2021, Xplora has become the leading supplier of smartwatches for children in the company's main markets. In 2022, we will work hard for further growth and innovation.
In a time that has been marked by uncertainty and job loss, we are extra proud to have increased the team from about 40 to almost 100 people, says Kirkbak.
Safe technology for children in an unpredictable time
We recognise that the world is more vulnerable given the global pandemic, and maintaining contact with loved ones has become even more important—particularly for children. We take this seriously.
The world is thus becoming more digital, whether we like it or not. Technology can be a great resource for society if it is implemented and used correctly. At Xplora, we are concerned with adapting our technology to the best interests of children and parents. This may be more important in 2022 than ever—when the world is unpredictable—then we need technology that is solid, secure, and predictable. And these are the pillars of all that we do; our vision is to provide a safe entrance to the digital world, for both kids and parents. We want the whole family to experience an increased quality of life with Xplora.
We look forward to a bright 2022 together!

Q: Youtube IFrame API Untrusted Origin I'm using the IFrame API as the title suggests. I have been following the guide in the API Reference. It works for me however I have found a few warnings that occur and would like to solve them. They are:

Untrusted origin: https://www.youtube.com

and

Untrusted origin: chrome-extension://boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd

both of which originate from www-embed-player.js:331
Through my research I have found that the second one happens because it constantly polls for the chromecast extension (kinda weird but its google). If I disable the chromecast extension that warning becomes errors such as:

GET chrome-extension://boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd/cast_sender.js net::ERR_FAILED

from www-embed-player.js:163
I have tried adding the enablejsapi and origin parameters mentioned with no change in luck.
I have also tried adding the IFrame directly as mentioned in Loading a Video Player which didn't remove the untrusted origin errors, and also broke my javascript functionality.
Thank you

A: The error has been acknowledged by Google:
https://code.google.com/p/google-cast-sdk/issues/detail?id=309

This is per design; in order to know if a user has the Chromecast
  extension installed (and which one), cast_sender.js requests the
  script from all potentially installed extensions.

Great Basin National Park and the Loneliest Road in America
Posted by MichelleNeale on August 13, 2020 August 12, 2020
After a great couple days exploring Elko and an adventurous hike in Lamoille Canyon, we continued on with our first post-quarantine RV trip around northern Nevada. Our next destination: Baker, gateway to Great Basin National Park and just a few miles from the Utah state border.
The 200+ mile drive was all highway, but we only saw a handful of other cars before arriving at the nearest major town of Ely – which, for perspective, has a population of under 5,000. I had considered booking a campground in Ely, but then realized that it was still an hour's drive to the one entrance to Great Basin. In addition to first-come-first-serve campgrounds inside the park, there's a small RV park in Baker. When I called to make a reservation and ask about cell service I was told they have it, which ended up being only technically correct.
Soon after we left Ely along Highway 50 – The Loneliest Road in America! – we lost cell service again. The drive was remarkable for its vast emptiness – which is saying something, given that we've already driven through so much open landscape. Aside from a windmill farm and a couple ranches visible from the highway, we didn't see any development until we turned off Highway 50 and reached the town of Baker. Which is tiny. It made other national park gateway towns we've been to seem like bustling metropolises.
It was clear why Great Basin is one of the least visited national parks. You have to make an effort to get there – even if you already live in Nevada!
Drive between Ely and Baker
The town of Baker. Our RV park was across the street from the road into the park.
Baker in the other direction.
It quickly became apparent that the three nights I had booked were two too many. The RV park was fine, but with only a basic row of sites on dirt and gravel, not exactly an ideal place to set up our chairs and lounge around outside in the heat. The one small grocery store in town was closed down. Not because of COVID; according to the sign the owners retired in the fall and a new buyer was yet to be found. Most critically, though, our Verizon cell service was only 3G; not enough for Chris to stay connected for work. (Charlie complained about slow service too but that was not a factor in our decision.)
Baker does have a quiet charm and some surprising gems. If you don't need robust cell service it's a great getaway. Kerouac's Restaurant, owned and operated by transplanted New Yorkers, was sadly closed for dining while we were there, but we enjoyed treats from the perfectly curated mini mart at their charming Stargazer Inn. The Magic Bean Coffee Cart, set up on the main road across from the park entrance, serves up great coffee, fresh baked goods, and breakfast sandwiches.

Home for the night.

In the end we changed our plans and booked the KOA in Ely for the next two nights. Being so close to the park, we still had time to drive in and get the lay of the land, plus explore the nearby Baker Archaeological Site, the remains of a Fremont Indian village occupied from around 1220 to 1295 AD.
The site was backfilled after being excavated to protect the remaining features for future study. The village discovered here was unusually complex for a Freemont settlement, with evidence that corn, beans, and squash were grown with the assistance of irrigation channels.
The two national park visitor centers, one in Baker and another inside the park, were both closed, but there were informational panels and paper maps available outside. (According to the NPS website the visitor centers are open again.)
I should mention that Great Basin is best known for Lehman Caves, one of the most richly decorated limestone caves in the US. Which were closed because of COVID. I'm sure the caves are wonderful and would love to return for a tour. But Great Basin above ground is just gorgeous, and I can confidently say that we didn't feel like we were missing out on anything. In fact, if the caves were open we would not have hiked as much as we did.
Navigating the park is straightforward: there's the entrance from Baker, and one main road inside the park. Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive winds its way from high desert sagebrush to a sub-alpine ecological zone, with an elevation gain of over 4,000 feet. After 12 miles the road ends at the Wheeler Peak parking lot and trailhead.

View away from Wheeler Peak
There's a campground plus several trails heading out from the Bristlecone parking lot, including to the summit of Wheeler Peak (at 13,065 feet), to the only glacier in Nevada, and to groves of the oldest trees in the world. Great Basin is famously home to Bristlecone pines, and the Wheeler Peak grove is the most accessible.
This hike was highly recommended, but I also wanted to see part of the Alpine Lakes trail. Our intention was to hike to the closest lake, then backtrack and take the Bristlecone trail. What we ended up doing was hiking the entire three miles of the Alpine Lakes loop trail after we started in the wrong direction, then walking another mile to the start of the Bristlecone trail. At over 10,000 feet the elevation is no joke, and we definitely felt winded at times.
Start of the Alpine Lakes trail
Views like this are why we were happy to continue on the trail even though we started in the wrong direction.
Worth the effort! Stella Lake

Teresa Lake
We got close, but this is a limber pine not a bristlecone. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest outside Bishop, CA is another great place to walk among these incredible trees.
Glacial moraine from the Bristlecone trail
Despite not getting to see the Bristlecone pine grove, or the glacier up close, or any part of Lehman Caves… Great Basin exceeded my expectations in many ways. Bottom line: There's always something to discover and enjoy in a national park even if it's not what you planned.
After a few hours we returned to the RV park, bid adieu to Baker, and drove the hour to Ely to settle into the KOA for a couple nights. The kids were disappointed that the playground was closed (due to COVID) but we found some really cool places to explore in the area that more than made up for it.

Chris picked up Mexican food from nearby Rolberto's for a late lunch, which was so good we returned the next morning for breakfast burritos before heading out for the day. Our first stop was Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park just a few miles east. The distinctive, conical structures reminded Chris and I of the ancient beehive huts we saw in Ireland, although these ovens were built in the 1870's to make charcoal for a nearby silver mine. While only in use for three years (after all the surrounding trees were cut down and the mine dried up, quite a lesson in un-sustainability), the surprisingly large structures were used as shelters by farmers and ranchers, and possibly as hideouts for those pursuing less conventional occupations.
Charcoal ovens with Great Basin in the distance.
Each oven was filled to the top with 6 ACRES of trees and burned for 12 DAYS to produce 50 bushels of charcoal. The whole enterprise only lasted for three years before the resources were depleted. But it's a cool space to visit.
Once we turned off Highway 50 to get to the ovens we saw a sign for Willow Creek Trading Post. According to the sign we could find live buffalo for sale, among other things. Intrigued, we stopped on our way back from the state park. The trading post was a ranch with several small buildings, a lot of vehicles, and an impressive amount of items arranged and piled up outdoors that could simultaneously be described as museum/antique shop/flea market/junk yard.
While we were trying to take this all in, a woman with an oxygen tank and a little dog walked up to unlock the door. She told us that it hadn't been opened yet for the season, and that her 92-year-old husband was still recovering from getting their car stuck in a ditch the day before.
The inside of the trading post was a more intense version of the outdoors, with merchandise packed floor to ceiling in no apparent order. We each found a piece to buy, including a 1950's stoneware bowl and a 1997 pack of Matchbox cars. (The vintage bowl is currently holding fruit on our kitchen counter and will always remind me of Willow Creek.)
You can spot Wheeler Peak to the right, from Willow Creek.
After stopping back at the RV to take the dogs out we headed in the opposite direction, through the old town of Ely and continuing west on Highway 50. Our destination was Garnet Hill, a designated rockhounding area on BLM land. Tens of millions of years ago the hill was an active volcano that spewed massive amounts of rhyolite rock, with deep red almandine garnets trapped inside. We made it extra adventurous when we followed Google Maps' directions to turn off the highway and ended up on a narrow, deeply rutted dirt track that we had to reverse back down again. Lesson learned: wait until you see the Bureau of Land Management Garnet Hill Recreation Area sign to turn off Highway 50.
The only equipment we had with us were a couple hammers and sunglasses for eye protection. We were skeptical about the reports of finding garnets right by the parking area, but sure enough, as soon as we started looking through the pieces of rhyolite piled all around, we spotted a couple small gems. The four of us got busy searching through the rocks and bashing them with hammers. We broke a couple garnets with the blunt instruments, and found a lot of holes left from gems that had already been extracted. Still, we ended up with nine garnets in just an hour. It was an unexpectedly fun family activity, and we're already planning to do some rockhounding near Reno.
Find those gems, kids.
Garnets! All ours!
It was time to head back home, and I was looking forward to driving the longest stretch of The Loneliest Road the next couple days. I was expecting the empty landscape, but was surprised by how scenic parts of the drive were, with rolling hills and, always, mountain ranges in the distance. We passed through the historic towns of Eureka and Austin, and then had another 50 miles of open road to reach our destination for the last overnight.
A former Pony Express stop, Cold Springs Station now hosts a motel, RV park, bar and grill. We considered extending our stay another night to visit Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, but Cold Springs Station was improbably sold out for a popular off-roading gathering over Father's Day weekend.
Pitstop on the Loneliest Road
Cold Spring Station
We ended up with our first major RV issue after we parked. The living area slide-out got stuck halfway out and we couldn't figure out why. Fortunately it still retracted all the way so we could drive, but we still need to get it fixed before our next trip.
Even though it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, we were only a couple hours from home and had an easier drive after the previous long travel days. We had one more pitstop meal at the landmark Middlegate Station, another former Pony Express stop. We weren't expecting much, but they served up one of the best bacon cheeseburgers we've had anywhere in this one-of-a-kind setting. Perfect ending to our Nevada RV trip!

Actress Lindsay Lohan has submitted a doctor's note to skip her Los Angeles court appearance on Wednesday after reportedly becoming ill while in New York.
The Mean Girls star is due to appear in court to fight claims she violated her probation from a 2011 necklace theft conviction by allegedly lying to a police officer following a car crash in California last summer.
She faces three charges from the incident – giving false information to a police officer, obstructing or resisting a police officer in the performance of his duty and reckless driving, which carries a jail sentence of over 240 days.
However, it appears Lohan won't be well enough to attend her first hearing in person – on Tuesday, her new lawyer, Mark Heller, filed legal papers notifying the judge that she has been ordered by doctors not to fly after coming down with an upper respiratory infection.
In his court documents, Heller claimed Lohan had been examined by a Big Apple medic on Saturday – the same day she was photographed shopping in Manhattan. Those pictures have since surfaced on TMZ.com.
The new charges are the latest in a slew of legal problems for the star – she is also battling allegations of assault in New York, where she is accused of punching a female club-goer during a night out in November.
Katy Perry will be hosting the 1 Oak At The Mirage grand opening in Las Vegas on January 27.
The event—a charity fundraiser for the GiveLove charity—will see Perry joined by J. Molinari jewelry designers Markus Molinari andJason Arasheben and the recording artist Ferras. Proceeds from the event benefit the charity's efforts to provide temporary housing solutions and sanitation systems in earthquake-stricken Haiti.

Before Halloween.... Before Friday The 13th.... Before Scream.... There Was The Saw.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Reviewed by Movie Gazette on Monday, November 3rd, 2003.
Downsized abbatoir workers, weird hitch-hikers, vandalised graveyards, abandoned cars, a macabre house, a hapless quintet of young lambs for the slaughter, and the gentle hum of a chainsaw. With these basic elements and next to no money, Tobe Hooper has spun an unapologetically mean-spirited tale of skewed family values and Southern discomfort, where all sanity is finished off with a skull-crushing hammer-blow. An absolute classic of horror, with many imitators but few rivals.
Tobe Hooper's 1974 masterpiece 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' has acquired something of a mythical status. Stories have circulated for years about how its first audiences fainted or threw up in the aisles. It is believed by many (especially by those who have not actually seen it) to be one of the most unpleasantly graphic gorefests ever shown on screen. And it is the 'video nasty' par excellence, regularly accused of obscenity, immorality or worse , and often banned.
It seems high time to sort the facts from the myth.
First of all, although it has a plausible geographical setting (backwoods Texas) and although its narrator (an uncredited John Laroquette) declares it to be a true story, it is in fact no truer than Fargo (which uses similar tricks to authenticate itself). Claims that it is based on the real-life exploits of serial killer Ed Gein stretch our normal understanding of what 'based on' means.
Secondly, it is remarkably ungraphic. Far more terror is generated from the sound of a chainsaw, or the sound of screaming, than from the sight of flesh being chopped. And even when occasionally acts of violence are shown, they are astonishingly quick, and almost entirely blood free. Hooper is so skilled a director, with so firm a grip on atmosphere and tension, that you leave this film convinced that you have seen far more than he ever actually reveals.
Thirdly, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is a horror film which does not really scare its viewers, but rather, like 'Audition' and My Little Eye, traumatises them, bludgeoning them with scenes of psychological, as much as physical, torment. If you're looking for cheap frights, see a more conventional horror; but if you want to feel as though you've actually been battered by an agonising, visceral experience, this is the film for you.
Fourthly, if you can manage to catch your breath, you may be surprised to find yourself laughing. There is something absurdly recognisable about the cannibalistic family at the centre of this film, despite its inbred backwardness. The grandfather (John Dugan) whose words are uttered for him by everyone else. The son (played by the extraordinary Edwin Neal) who just wants to be an artist (albeit with corpses as his medium) while his brother (Gunnar Hansen) stays at home and does all the work (slaughtering AND cooking). It is shocking, but also darkly funny, to see in this crew of sickos something like a model family unit – respecting their elders, watching out for one another, and, most importantly, eating a shared meal. In this film, the family that slays together, stays together.
It's Got: An effective faux-documentary style, an eerie musique concrète soundtrack, moodily baroque sets, an unnervingly cruel streak, a harrowing final half-hour of psychological torture – as well as some good ol fashioned southern hospitality and nice n chewy home-cooked finger-lickin barbecue.
It Needs: To be seen both on the big and small screen. On the big screen it has the impact of an hour-and-a-half long hammer-blow to the head, whereas the humour is better appreciated with the images and sound reduced in size.

Many patients glad to be served by a male nurse
Posted on May 26, 2022 by Nursing TV Leave a comment
Compiled by NRS. C. ARUNO, JUNAID IBRAHIM and R. ARAVINTHAN (Male nurses)
HE was teased by his friends when he decided to be a nurse, but Kamal Ab Ghani persevered and many of his patients showed appreciation for his services.
The 35-year-old said his passion in nursing started when he saw a documentary about a male nurse "Sister Bakar" when he was in school, Utusan Malaysia reported.
"There were only a few male nurses. However, patients appreciate our presence. When it comes to 'aurat', most male patients prefer a male nurse to handle them," he said.
He is currently the HIV and AIDS counsellor paediatric nurse at Hospital Kajang Specialist Clinic.
Kamal said he was referred to as a medical assistant (MA) or hospital assistant (HA) by patients as it was very rare to see male nurses in hospitals.
"Every time I meet the public, they would always ask me if I was an MA or HA.
READ ALSO: Male nurses earn $5,000 more per year than female nurses, according to a study.
Kamal, who has been working for 17 years, lost two co-workers to Covid-19 while on duty, saying that was his most unforgettable experience which left an impact on his career.
Nevertheless, he added that he was happy every time a patient was finally discharged.
Singer Baby Shima called on the women community to voice out if they were sexually harassed on social media.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Nor Ashima Ramli, said people who sent unsolicited sexual messages on social media such as Instagram should be punished, Harian Metro reported.
"To women out there, we have to be brave and should not be shy from reporting sexual harassment," she said.
Recently, Shima received sexual messages on social media from strangers.
"To those who like to harass people online, think wisely. We have an Act to protect the people, you will be detected," she warned.
A screenshot that she shared on her social media showed an individual persistently requesting to have sexual intercourse with her.

Reptiles are a class of vertebrates made up mostly of snakes, turtles, lizards, and crocodilians. These animals are most easily recognized by their dry, scaly skin. Almost all reptiles are cold-blooded, and most lay eggs—though some, like the boa constrictor, give birth to live young. Instead of possessing gills like fish or amphibians, reptiles have lungs for breathing.
The United States is home to a diverse range of reptiles. Today these animals face threats including habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation. Species such as the Kemp's ridley sea turtle and the Puerto Rican boa are currently categorized as endangered under the U.S. endangered species list.

"My main rule - do no harm, as they taught me at the very beginning of my career. Medicine is developing very rapidly, it is simply impossible to know and be able to do everything, so I try to maintain a broad outlook, keeping up with current trends and monitoring the latest evidence-based treatment protocols. I try to be honest with the patient, I like to work in a team and interact with colleagues in difficult clinical cases, get feedback from the patient, I'm interested in everything that happens to him after treatment.
After all, having unraveled a tangle of complex symptoms, you really feel like a professional and do not deceive the expectations of the person who came to you for help. This provides tremendous emotional support in the profession. And gaining human confidence is worth a lot."
Sincerly yours, Anatoliy Pastukhov

In case you didn't know, Egypt is in Africa.
The only images I had in my mind of Egypt were pyramids, temples and sheer linen dresses. We are a product of the media, and my expectations were fabricated mostly from historical fiction and BBC documentaries.
But Egypt is one of the most populated countries in Africa. Cairo is the largest city in Africa. There are about 25 million people in Cairo on any given day. In one city. There are 33 million people all of Canada. Our largest city, Toronto, has just over 2 million people.
Cairo isn't just the home of the Great Pyramids of Giza, it's also the home of millions of people and is the densest metropolis that I have ever seen.
Needless to say, it was an intense culture shock. I have never been to a city even a little bit like Cairo before. The traffic is so bad that it can take over three hours to make a 30 min drive. Every time we were on the roads, I thought we were going to die. There are no road rules, no traffic lights. There's only pure determination. Every vehicle is dented, scratched, damaged in some way by its life on the streets of Cairo.
And there aren't just cars on the streets either. There are also carts, drawn by donkeys and horses. Egypt is very much a city where the modern and the antiquated are thrown together and live side by side. I half expected to see a Bennett Buggy driving down the street.
The houses in Cairo are unlike anything I've ever seen. There are thousands of huge apartment buildings, stacked almost on top of each other. There are buildings that look more like shacks, with satellite dishes on top. Everything seems to be in a minor state of disrepair and in need of a good paint job.
There's another aspect of the culture in Egypt that I wasn't prepared for. As an obvious tourist, I meant only one thing to the people of Egypt. Money. Everywhere you go in Egypt, someone is trying to sell you something or ask you for money. They will take your luggage from you and then ask you for money for carrying it, even though you were perfectly capable of doing it yourself. They charge you 5 Egyptian pounds for a camel ride, then ask for another 20 for you to get off.
They offer camels in exchange for your hand in marriage. Someone offered me 2 millions camels. It was a good day.
Egypt was a definite culture shock. It was my first African country. Next time, I'll be better prepared.
Next time, I probably won't go to Cairo. Luxor was much nicer.
That was pretty much my brother's reaction to Cairo too, when he went. Although I was hoping you might have a better experience, being that he went with the military and was obviously not on the top list of welcomed guests there. Ah well. You live, you learn, and at least you saw even if you didn't conquer!
So, I definitely knew that Egypt is located in Africa, but I know what you mean…it's easy to forget that Egypt is IN Africa! "Traditional" Africa seems so different compared to Egypt. I really want to visit South Africa sometime soon.
I could not stop laughing when reading about the vendors and the type of things they said to you!! Also, I had no idea Cairo was so populated…especially when you compare it to Canada. That's crazy!
Whoa, 2 million camels? You must be a very desirable bride.
oh my goodness, it's like Turkey…well, Istanbul. But more intense, from the sounds of it! Still sounds amazing though, in its own way.
Isn't it funny that Jes and I posted the exact same minute? What are the chances?
hehehe My email was a bit confused by it too, I think.
I will be going to Morocco (I hope) the day before I pick u up at the airport. I wonder if it will be a simular experience….

Going to sleep stop system update?
Discussion in 'MacBook Air' started by Narkotiq, Jan 20, 2011.
Hello all, just got my new MacBook air 11 yesterday and absolutely lovin it.
One question: I tried to do the first system update (about 1.2gb) - I decided to close the lid and leave it overnight, when I woke up this morning the update has not been downloaded, Im just asking: when the MBA is in sleep mode does that cancel system updates and other downloads?
Of course it will cancel it. When you put it to sleep, you are basically shutting it off. The wireless connection closes so you can't download anything. But even if it was all downloaded and you closed the lid, you are shutting it off, so nothing will get installed.
You should keep the mba plugged in and on when doing software installs, especially system updates, so you potentially don't corrupt anything.


This past weekend (October 17th-20th) I had the opportunity to attend Woodworking in America in Covington, KY (the greater Cincinnati area), which is one of the biggest woodworking conferences of the year, sponsored by Popular Woodworking. We usually have several representatives from Highland Woodworking attend each year, and while we don't have a booth at the event, we are always excited to get to go and hang out with all of the "popular" woodworkers.
On Thursday night, our friends from the Modern Woodworker's Association hosted a meet-up at Keystone Bar & Grill. It was really exciting to meet some of the online woodworking world "celebrities" including Chris Adkins of High Rock Woodworking (and the new host and creator of Highland Woodworking's Product Tours), Tom Iovino of Tom's Workbench, Dyami Plotke from The Penultimate Woodshop, and Sean Wisniewski of The Corner Workshop. These guys are the voices behind the MWA Podcasts, and they sound just the same in person as they do online. It was a fun evening of socializing and reuniting with some hilarious woodworkers.
Friday was the first official day of the conference and Roy Underhill made a grand entrance to his Timber!!! class by carting a gigantic piece of tulip poplar through the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of making eye contact with Roy and before I knew it I was sitting atop the log and steering it with an axe as Roy continued traversing through the crowds into his classroom. Megan Fitzpatrick, editor of Popular Woodworking, later thanked me for stepping up and not making her be the usual person that Roy makes a spectacle out of.
A large portion of Friday and Saturday consisted of classes and demonstrations taught by some amazing woodworkers that I have looked up to for awhile, including the aforementioned Roy Underhill and Megan Fitzpatrick, as well as Christopher Schwarz, Peter Follansbee, and Glen Huey. One of my favorite teachers in attendance was Mary May, who I first met at the Lie-Nielsen Open House last July, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by both of her carving classes (Carving Life into Leaves and Linenfold Carving), where she made every cut look effortless. I also attended Peter Galbert's Windsor Innovations class, where he discussed some great tips on the chairmaking process. Both Mary and Peter will be teaching upcoming classes at Highland Woodworking, and it was fun to get a small preview of what they have in store for these classes!
When I wasn't participating in classes I was down in the Marketplace, which was basically a woodworker's toy store full of vendors demonstrating their new and popular tools. A lot of our vendors were in attendance including SawStop, Micro Jig, Earlex, Hock Tools, Lie-Nielsen Toolworks, Scott Meek Woodworks, Easy Wood Tools, Saburr-Tooth, and Knew Concepts, amongst others. We got to see a lot of their new products that they were featuring and we're really excited to be getting them into our store soon!
Our online TV show, The Highland Woodworker, also had a booth showing recent episodes. Chuck Brock was manning the booth and occasionally snuck away to shoot segments for future episodes of the show! We're looking forward to seeing the finished product!
At the Lost Art Press booth, they had the anticipated release and signing of To Make as Perfectly as Possible. At the signing were authors Don Williams and Phillip Lafargue, as well as editor Christopher Schwarz. They had both the standard edition, and the limited deluxe edition, which was one of the most beautiful woodworking books I have ever seen.
In the last Friday session, many members of the online woodworking community gathered for an Online Woodworking Roundtable, moderated by Megan Fitzpatrick. The participants of this roundtable included the three voices behind Wood Talk Online Radio (Marc Spagnuolo, Matt Vanderlist, and Shannon Rogers), the three voices behind the Modern Woodworker's Association podcasts (Tom Iovino, Chris Adkins, and Dyami Plotke), as well as Wood Central, Woodnet, Giant Cypress, and more.
Participants in the Online Woodworking Roundtable.
I believe the Online Woodworking Roundtable was a new addition to the WIA lineup this year, and with all of the content that the above participants are putting out there (amongst many other online resources), it was very relevant to the online woodworking experience that even you as a reader of this blog are getting right now! Each participant went around and described their contribution/site and then Megan opened the discussion to the floor and audience members were able to ask these guys questions about where they see the online woodworking world going and the differences between the resources we had 10 years ago and what we have now. One of the main things I came away with is the fact that the online woodworking world has created more of a community amongst woodworkers, where we can easily share our tips, projects, and progress with just the click of a button. It has brought woodworkers together, like the guys of Modern Woodworker's Association and Wood Talk Online, who are able to collaborate and share their work with the community.
That evening we were lucky enough to run into the Wood Talk guys in the hotel lobby and ended up going to dinner with them at the Behle Street Cafe, for some great food, fun, and conversation.
The second day was pretty similar to the first with more class discussions, marketplace wandering, and enjoying the company of fellow woodworkers. Overall, Woodworking in America 2013 was a very informative, fun, and educational event and we are already looking forward to going back next year!

Great post. We had a great time at WIA13 too and can't wait to see everyone next year.
Also, I'm very excited about my first trip to Highland in a week and a half.


I have been searching the internet for hours trying to find a solution to this problem to no avail .
I just restored my PC through Dell's backup and recovery manager. When finished, I tried to install drivers for my GTX 560 that I downloaded off of the Nvidia website. I receive the error: "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware."
I go to check the Device Manager and in the Display adapters I see "Standard VGA graphics adapter", not my Nvidia card. I'm assuming that is the reason my card does not appear and I can't install drivers?
First I tried uninstalling the Standard VGA graphics adapter but I found that it re-installs itself whenever I restart. Next, I tried to uninstall in safe mode but it STILL re-installs it self while in safe mode. I have tried Driver Sweeper to the same effect. After reading several threads online where users experience similar problems, I went to Dell to find the drivers they supplied for the computer I bought and Dell doesn't offer drivers for the card I have because I upgraded since buying the prebuilt from Dell. I found Dell drivers for a 560 ti however I still receive the same "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware" error.
Why is Device Manager showing me "Standard VGA graphics adapter", Why isn't it recognizing my card when it previously did before being restored?, and most importantly how do I get it to recognize my card so I can install the drivers?
I shouldn't worry too much about Windows installing drivers for the VGA adapter.
What you need to do is download NVIDIA's driver for your GTX 560 and save it to your hard drive.
Next, right-click the downloaded driver's .exe file and choose Run as Administrator.
You'll be offered a quick install and a custom install so choose the custom option.
The installer will uninstall the VGA adapter driver and clean install the GTX 560 driver.
I just tried doing that however I get this error: "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware" before I am even given the install option.
I attached a picture of what I see.
A search on Google reveals this to be a common problem.
Have a look at this thread and post #6 in particular for a rather involved solution.
Posting this on my phone, attempting a fresh restore then trying the method on that thread.
Do you have Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit?
Obviously you'll need a 32-bit driver for the former and a 64-bit driver for the latter.
Have you tried NVIDIA's Auto Driver Detection utility?
I have tried the detection utility but I receive this message: "Unfortunately we were unable to detect your GPU. Please try again using the manual search"
Are you absolutely sure you have the GTX 560 installed in your computer, because right now I'm out of ideas.
AMD Radeon HD 6470m showing as Standard VGA graphics adapter???

Why Did 'Gambit' Lose Director Rupert Wyatt?
Posted on Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 by Angie Han
Channing Tatum's Gambit movie suffered a big blow blow this month when Rupert Wyatt abruptly dropped out. At the time the director cited that old standby, scheduling conflicts. However, a new report points to creative differences as the real reason Wyatt left. Basically, he couldn't get Fox to sign on to his vision. Find out what led to the Gambit Rupert Wyatt exit after the jump.
THR, which got the inside story on the Gambit Rupert Wyatt exit, stresses that this isn't a question of Wyatt's professionalism. "He shows up. He comes early. He stays late. He's got good ideas," says a source. However, Wyatt wanted to rewrite Gambit and make the world his own, and as the trade puts it, "when a director paints on a big, $100 million-plus canvas, studios want to help pick out the colors."
Nor are Wyatt's talents as a director in doubt. His Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a critically acclaimed hit, and he's been in high demand for projects like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Londongrad, and The Equalizer. But as you may have guessed by glancing at that list, he's starting to earn a reputation for dropping out of projects.
In most or all of the cases, it seems, the situation is the same: Wyatt signs on, struggles to convince the studio to back his vision, and walks away. Says one studio exec of Wyatt, "I think he's a very principled guy. He wants to make the best version of something, and he's so desperately afraid of making something not good that it's easier to walk away than be pushed by committee."
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, Wyatt's agent Brian Swardstrom hastens to point out: "Many have ended up in director's jail when they didn't walk away, and perhaps they should have." Indeed, the Gambit situation could've been much worse. Better Wyatt and Fox part ways now than try and force two irreconcilable visions to align, with Fantastic Four-like results.
As of now, the studio still has Gambit slotted for release on October 7, 2016, but the odds of the film actually making that date are getting slimmer. We previously heard script issues were creating budget issues, which in turn may have caused scheduling issues, and at this point it's not scheduled to start shooting until early spring or so. Fox has yet to announce a replacement director for the movie.

RIVERSIDE - Healthy gains in several sectors of the regional economy offset losses in other sectors for December, leaving the unemployment rate in Riverside County unchanged, state officials said.
The jobless rate in December, based on preliminary estimates, was 4.3 percent – the same level booked in November, according to the California Employment Development Department.
Agency figures showed that the December rate was exactly one percentage point below the year-ago level, when unemployment stood at 5.3 percent.

Al-Khwarizmi Does the Math
By Pamela | February 29, 2012 | 2
Quick: multiply DVII by XVIII. Before you could work the problem you translated it into Arabic numbers didn't you?
The person you can thank, or blame, for your ability to multiply and divide is the mathematician and astronomer Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (ca. 783-847), whose name lives on in a mangled form as "algorithm. (Honest. Take a moment to sound it out.)
We know very little about al-Kwarizmi's life. His name suggests he was born in the region of Khwarazm in what is now Uzbekistan. There are suggestions that he was a Zoroastrian, who may have converted to Islam.
We know a lot about al-Kwarizmi's work as a scholar in al-Mansur's court in Baghdad. He introduced what were then called "Hindu numerals" to the Muslim world. He produced an important astronomical chart (zij) that made it possible to calculate the positions of the sun, the moon and the major planets and to tell time based on stellar and solar observations.
Al-Kwarizmi's most important contribution to science was a ground-breaking mathematical treatise: al-Kitab al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jebr wal-Muqabala. The title translates to The Compendium on Calculation by Restoration and Balancing, but the book is most often referred to as al-jebr, or algebra. His treatise was a combination of mathematical theory and practical examples related to inheritances, property division, land measurements, and canal digging. He was the inventor both of quadratic equations and the dreaded word problem. (Some of his word problems became classics, which meant they were still giving schoolboys grief several centuries later.)
So, the next time you need to calculate how long it will take for two cars to meet in Dubuque if one car leaves Minneapolis going 60 miles an hour and the other leaves Peoria traveling 75 miles an hour? Thank al-Khwarizmi.

MG100 Spotlight: Tracey Brady, Managing Director, Link Group
Tracey Brady, Managing Director of Company Matters at Link Group, is being recognized by Diligent's Modern Governance 100 program. The Modern Governance 100 is a community of general counsels, corporate secretaries and other governance professionals who have demonstrated resilience, dedication and empathy in the face of a complex and ever-changing world.
Tracey Brady has seen first-hand how good governance practices lay the foundation for long-term success. Long a vocal advocate of the benefits of digital governance, Brady finds that modern governance practices offer her – and her company – significant competitive and operational advantages.
Modern governance plays an integral role when it comes to helping any business keep pace with the times: "Modern governance is exactly what we need to recognize," she notes. "We need to adapt to changing environments and support businesses as they strive to evolve."
As the architect of the market-leading governance infrastructure her company has in place, Brady knows just how much of an impact it can have. With a large team spread across a number of different locations, she uses Diligent Entities to implement a consistent approach to how they deal with their many clients and their differing demands and needs.
Her utilization of digital governance at Link Group has enabled her and her team to get a full picture of everything they need from within the confines of one easy-to-manage, virtual platform. Ultimately, governance technology makes life easier for her and her clients. "It's about ease," says Brady. "We've created efficiencies." From reporting to filing, Diligent Entities provides her with the organisational tools she needs to maintain the gold standard service she and her company have become known for.
How Brady Uses Diligent
Corporate entity management: a single source of truth that's integrated across departments
Automated reports and flexible subsidiary reporting
Data integrity: verification that entity data is reviewed and updated appropriately
Brady is keen to share her passion for best practices in corporate governance with her industry peers. As Link Group's CEO of Corporate Markets Susan Ring notes, "[Tracey] has been persistent in driving the agenda. She has, for example, initiated a programme called 'Ahead' which is a forum for other governance professionals from the world of company secretarial, general counsel, investor relations and various other roles. This programme has now been in place for three years and has gathered significant support and momentum through the various research reports, networking and launch events such that it now has a followership of well over 1,000 attendees."
Finally, Brady notes, good governance is about providing support on all fronts. That support has been the cornerstone of Brady's relationship with Diligent too. "We know that we can pick up the phone [to Diligent] at any time. If something out of the blue was to come up, we know that we've always got support there," she says. "Whether it's for us in the UK or whether it's for our parent company in Australia, it doesn't matter what end of the day it is – there's always somebody there who'll pick up the phone."
Brady began her career in corporate governance 21 years ago and, over the years, has mainly worked in UK PLC boardrooms. She became managing director of the Company Matters business at Link Group 7 years ago, and in that time has won awards including ICSA Service Provider of the Year and was named as one of the Governance Hot 100.
Within the industry, she has been a regular speaker at conferences and events as well as a member of many industry groups, including the All Party Parliamentary Corporate Governance Group. A strong advocate in the diversity space both in board rooms and throughout organizations, she is proud of the research they undertake in small cap/AIM listed companies.
