Why do this by bicycle?
What are the daily averages?
What tech equipment will we need?
How do we maintain everything on the road?
By Brendon; I have to admit, I pushed the idea past Emma a lot in the beginning and for 3 years it was the topic of many conversations. In order to convince Em that she had what it takes to bike tour, we did a 2 week 'mini-adventure' in Vietnam riding 700kms from Hanoi to Hoi An. It gave us a good feel of what it was like to travel by bike and we loved the new challenge of everything required of us for this full-on, self-powered, extended traveling business.
From the logistics of planning the route, to everything that it has taken to complete the goal, there has been constant planning, debating and a whole lot of negotiations. The challenge of this new travel experience completely captured our imaginations and the preparations were entirely full-time.
How do we manage distance & timing?
Originally Bren thought we could ride Vancouver to Santiago over a 12 to 15 month period. This timing derived from planning around travels visas, weather conditions, potential distances per day and overall budget.
Tough question to answer. We had to buy pretty much everything we needed before we even started this trip. It was quite the shopping experience at MEC! Some days on the road were very cheap and some not so much. Depending on the country, how the bike performed and how hungry we got! So we try to break it down into 2 categories; start-up and on road costs.
Start up costs – The biggest commitment for us is was of course the bicycle itself. We chose the Hase Pino tour bike.
This design is from Germany and is a called 'semi recumbent'. The need for special bike came about because of our vastly different riding styles and some physical factors that Emma suffered with on a traditional bicycle set up. It was a hard decision to commit to mainly because of cost, coming in around $8000 it's more than any car we have bought in our entire lives! Deciding to go with one bike instead of two was also difficult because tandem bicycles have limitations as to what type of terrain they can handle, more maintenance due to added stresses on the running gear and the uncertainty of how the bike would handle in different road conditions. All this was out-weighed by the simple fact that we were able to enjoy the travel together on the same bike (and Em wouldn't do it unless we had the Pino).
We were lucky enough to secure Crowd Funding through Pozible which made purchasing this bike achievable.
The next major money drain came from the tech side of things. This was more due to the cost of keeping things charged than the costs of the actual items. It was an interesting learning curve and with technology constantly developing, its fascinating to see how many new items became available even in the space of our journey.
Then there was the standard camping and cycling gear that needed. Starting from scratch this stuff adds up really quickly.
All up we looked at about $10,000 to get this project on the road. That seems a lot of money, and it is, but if we divide that by around 400 days on the road it comes out to $25 per day.
On road costs – based on past traveling experience, we aimed at about $50 per day between us.
All up this is a lot of money. By the time we got on the road the entire project was already over 3 years in formation with about 2.5 years of solid saving to get to where we thought we could financially make it to our end goal. It was a unique situation where you save a huge amount for a big journey then spend it all at once (mostly in the same store) before we even started.
Do we need a blog?
Brendon: This one took me a while to get on board with. I tend to love the idea of planning and doing rather than documenting. However after our first extended 18 month travels around the world we really only have some short emails and a bunch of photos to remember it by.
Em was very keen to document this trip in more detail and the blog seemed like the easiest way to get started. Em is a little more organized than myself and a much better writer so she took care of the blog and sharing our tales from the road.
I have also came to realize that we gained so much information from all bike blogs out there, and without them, we wouldn't have been able to prepare so well for our time on the road. We learned a lot from other cyclist's blogs that saved us a lot of time and money. So it only seemed right that we too should try to pass some of we learned to the next people who may need a little inspiration to get out there and see what is possible.
So have a tour though our site and enjoy the show.

Emotion in the archive
By Mike Esbester on June 15, 2020 in Blog
When we started the project, we knew we'd be finding details which took us down to the individuals involved in the accidents. We'd long known the top-level figures: the hundreds who died each year and tens of thousands who were injured. Those numbers were almost too large to grasp, to feel a personal connection with. But the individual … well, that was always going to pose new challenges, as well as offer new possibilities. It has the potential to be very powerful, and to bring home the true cost of occupational accidents on the railways – something easily overlooked in the total figures. This is something which has become only too real for a great many of us in our current lives, under Covid-19, as this recent piece in the Guardian makes clear.
We'd considered the potentially troubling aspects of looking at these cases when we sought – and received – positive ethical opinion on the project design. At the very least, if anyone involved was upset by what they'd uncovered they were to pause and consider if or when they wished to continue. On a few occasions the volunteers have told us that they've done exactly this – typically when a case involved a young worker.
I wondered if I might have become hardened to the stories of personal suffering or wider familial hardship. The distance from the event and the people somehow kept it separate. And for the most part so far (though this will change) we've had mostly the 'official' side of the story, and only relatively rarely encountered either the worker's voice directly or the familial impact of an accident.
Yet whilst doing some research recently I found a case that broke through the barrier. A 16 year old killed at the same station where his father was working. So far, sadly, so unsurprising, and I could cope with that. But included in that file was a letter from the father, on black surround card, seeking acknowledgement of the fact that his son's loss 'has been a terrible blow both to myself and wife'. Perhaps it was the understated and muted recognition of grief. Perhaps it was the fact that the compensation that was granted was paid into the railway company bank – this being a railway family, it was no surprise that they should have held their money with the firm. And that was it. Definitely time for a pause.
These were events of nearly 100 years ago, but the personal impact – seeing the grief, even if only for a moment – was there. I know that all of the people we find in the accidents were individuals, with families and communities. But even so, I'd created an emotional barrier – possibly to enable me to continue with the work. That barrier isn't complete – and necessarily so. The reminder of the personal nature of these accidents is hugely important. I've no doubt there will be other 'break through' moments as the project continues – and whilst I don't look forward to them, they are vital.
Are we, as volunteers, archivists and researchers, sufficiently protected and sufficiently protecting ourselves, against 'vicarious trauma' that might be produced by some of the accounts we find? It's hard to say. This is something that's come up for us before, including at the Gerald Aylmer seminar in March and here. Empathy is crucial if we're to understand the humanity and the human costs of railway work. But it also leaves us open. Just because we've thought about the possibilities (so far as we might anticipate them), put steps in place to manage them and received a favourable ethical opinion, it doesn't mean that we won't be affected. Recognising when to pause, or stop, is clearly important – if not always easily done.

Lets Go Ghost Hunting at The York Witch Grave in Maine
Lizzy Snyder
Lizzy Snyder Published: January 7, 2022

I have always been a passionate follower of everything paranormal.
Since I am a ghost enthusiast, I have always believed fiercely into the transfer of energy and believe it is constantly flowing freely.
It's never-ending, so the energy or soul of another can be attached to things. For example, if a family lives in a house for 20 years, and all their emotions are felt there, then that collection of energy stays.
It can stay suck into the walls or items. It could be dark matter and energy or even light and positive energy, but it's present nonetheless.
There is a place in Maine that has been calling my name for years now. It's called the York Witch Grave. I was born in York, PA , so obviously it's a sign that I need to go there.
According to the Atlas Obscura and Seacoast Online, this place is crawling with presence of the unknown.
Apparently, in one particular grave lies and woman named Mary Nasson, who was said to be a witch in the 18th century. The witch trials were obviously not too far from us, down in Salem. However it has been proven that this woman was not a witch, and in fact was a very tender and caring mother and wife.
Because of all that negative judgment against her, the energy attached to the grave probably stirred up and awakened something.
According to an article on Secoast,
"Mary Nasson died close to 80 years after the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. And that is important, not only for placing the "Witch's Grave" in a different perspective, but also for making them aware of an intriguing relationship between individuals buried within the ground and the Salem Trials."
People from all over come to visit Mary's grave to drop bizarre tokens to her, such as coins, keepsakes, feathers, and sage (you know, witchy stuff).
Her gravestone is a square slab with a female figure engraved in her headstone, which makes people suspicious that she was a witch. I didn't know that a square grave or a figure would represent witchery?
I want to visit this site because no one except Mary Nasson knows what happened, and if I can contact her spirit via ghost tools, I will uncover the true and there will be justice for all.
I can't wait to grab my EVP Recorder to see if I can capture any disembodied voices and find out what really happened.

The coming of the New Year always brings both big expectations and reflections on the year that was. While planning out this year's blog, I thumbed through our posts from 2014 and found some exceptional posts that definitely stood out. With each addition that we make to the team, our knowledge gets more diverse. Marketing theory, organic, content and web development… we've come a long way from blogging about how to change a keyword to exact match.
Without further adieu, I give you the best DRA posts of 2014!
OK – some of it wasn't in 2014, but some of it was, so I'm counting it. The amount that I end up thinking about conversion tracking waxes and wanes month-to-month. As soon as I decide that everybody has it mastered, bam – I talk to someone spending five figures per month who has never turned it on. They don't know all the good stuff they're missing out on!
I recommend starting from the beginning, as Zach Mandelblatt takes you step-by-step through the philosophy behind tracking everything you want to track, accompanied by the nitty-gritty set-up instructions. If you think your tracking is all figured out (careful now), go ahead and start with section three, which covers branding metrics that all businesses, regardless of ROI goals, should be tracking. Part four, which covers Google Analytics, is the real sweet stuff, as good Analytics set-up instructions can be hard to find.
One of the reasons that AdWords became so wildly successful over the past decade is that you can track just about everything that your money produced. In terms of data tracking, there is just no comparison between AdWords and traditional methods like radio or print. The other benefit, which advertisers often seem to forget, is that you can actually use that data to make more money. AdWords delivers data in such a way that taking action on it can improve your ROI this week. And then the week after. And the week after that.
Nick Rennard's series on A/B testing shows you how to use that data to run small-scale tests within your account. Rather than take a quarterly look at returns on newspaper ads or TV spots, Nick walks through applying real-time data to incrementally improve your returns. If all that you get from the series is that you should be testing, that's a win in itself; however, he goes much deeper into advanced theory, user psychology, and other awesome things you should be thinking about as you bank more money week-after-week.
"The year of mobile" has become a cliche in digital marketing. It was supposed to be 2009, then it was 2010 again, and has maybe-kinda-sorta been every year since. I have an improvement. I'm of the belief that every advertiser has a tipping point when mobile traffic becomes so important that they must focus on it. This point is different for every business, but sooner or later it happens to everyone. "The day mobile reckoning" seems like a sweet name (I'm sure you can come up with something better).
When an advertiser reaches that point, some serious decisions need to be made. Not the least of which is whether to build a mobile website. Arin Adamson's piece walks through attributes that should guide that important decision, what people mean when they say a website is "responsive," and why you should care. Making the right investment is key here, as the importance having a mobile presence won't be going away. I don't foresee a "year of desktop" in the near future, which makes Arin's walkthrough all the more important.
I'm an English major, and I like to think that I'm well trained in saying what I mean, and deducing meaning from what other people say. Perhaps it's for that reason that I find so much of the internet's content to be, for lack of a better word, extraneous. Here's the point though: Google has been taking English classes. Its robots are getting better at critical reading, and they know whether you're bringing the goods or whether you're just typing words. Your SEO performance depends on it.
That's why Jason Cigan's point, saying what you mean and meaning what you say, is so important. He details some guiding principles from George Orwell that will help make what you write clearer and therefore more meaningful. Beyond being important for humans (remember them?), now that Google can judge your writing level and your intent (!!), your content's clarity and meaning are more important than ever.
Is PPC Management a Perfect Market?
I spoke the other day with someone at a traditional marketing agency about how they chose a PPC vendor to work with. Their response? "PPC's all the same, it depends on who sends me a bottle of wine." First, that's an amazing insight into the value of sales for any business. Second, I hear that every PPC agency is the same all the time, and you'll never believe it, but I disagree!
In this piece, I outline just how many complex, advanced skills are required to be a good PPC manager. Between creativity, psychology, design, coding, reporting & analytics, and everything else… it's not just Excel anymore. Evaluating managers on hard skills, like the ability to do VLOOKUP's, will never go out of fashion, but the industry is moving so fast that I'd argue that soft skills are becoming exponentially more important. You can have a great PPC manager, but if they don't possess a "willingness to learn" or a "proactive approach," what's going to happen when Google changes the rules next?
There you have it: the best DRA posts of 2014. Content, testing, proper set-ups – we covered it all last year. Stay tuned in 2015 as we hope to make our blog even better. Happy New Year!


Membership in this "movement" was originally explicitly for active members of the Catholic Church. But nothing came of this idea of forthrightly in the local parishes and diocese to request a public way of dealing immediately with doctrinal dissent without excommunication, firing, silencing. Now as of December, 2013, I have declared myself a "Deist" (www.deism.com) and I have issued a public call to the Roman Catholic Church to repudiate all their mythically based infallible teachings that have been used to persecute dissenters even unto death If you are interested in working on the issues involved, not just Same Gender Orientation (SGO), but any other that stems from religious terrorism, why not join up?


Shaina Aber is the policy director for the National Advocacy Office of the Jesuit Conference in Washington, D.C.
When I was young my father was actively involved in advocating against U.S. policies that were causing suffering among communities in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. I recall that when I was six years old he spent time in El Salvador with a faith/labor delegation, visiting jailed teachers who were union activists. Before his trip, we spent time with other families who would be sending delegates to El Salvador, and we children packed toys and clothes for Salvadoran children displaced by the war. Growing up in the D.C. area in the 1980s, the war in El Salvador was represented in the voices of community members hosting newly arrived Salvadoran refugees who'd fled the brutality of the Salvadoran forces. D.C. was a sanctuary city, and our communities proudly accepted into our places of worship and our homes those displaced by the war, who for political reasons were denied refugee status by the U.S. government.
As a child I was both moved and frightened by what I learned at our community's interfaith gatherings. My parents would later wonder if they overdid my exposure to the truth of the suffering of people in Central America, as I would awake sometimes from nightmares in which I imagined myself one of the children murdered by the contras or the Salvadoran army. I slept for years with a blanket over my head to protect myself from these assailants who seemed close to my home, who I imagined were perhaps hanging out with the president at the White House, who perhaps knew how much we reviled their deeds and were ashamed by our government's actions in their favor.
Delegations of activists and faith leaders, including Jesuits, passed through our interfaith community center on many occasions on their way to marches in D.C. against U.S. support for Central American military forces that were violating human rights, assassinating faith leaders and community activists and perpetrating atrocities. I experienced the 1989 assassinations of the Jesuits of the UCA as another tragedy in a line of barbarism emerging from a country in distress. I'd learned years earlier of the assassination of Archbishop Romero and of the Church women and of the disappearances of union activists and the murders of children. The murder of Jesuits who were tied to a university, some of whom were professors — teachers like my dad — struck close to home.
My work now has increasingly been centered on displacement and forced migration in three Central American countries where the U.S. played a role in fracturing societies during the 1980s: supporting wars in Guatemala and El Salvador, while using Honduras as a base of operations for training and equipping human rights violators. My parents' commitment and legacy, both their civil rights work and their work around justice for Central American communities, very much shaped my interest in the legal field and in working on Latin America policy, human rights, immigration and refugee issues.

Pulling the helmet off a crash victim can, in seconds, cause further trauma to the neck and cervical spine resulting in serious debilitating, and permanent damage. The Eject Helmet Removal System was designed to aid in the safer removal of a helmet by pushing the helmet off the head after the upper spine has been immobilized.
Essentially, the Eject system is an airbag that is inflated either by hand or by a CO2 cartridge when an EMT gets to you after an impact. The device is installed in your helmet. Once installed you essentially forget about it until the dark day when you have an impact that threatens your spinal cord. The EMT will attach his/her inflator bulb or CO2 cartridge to the valve hanging out of the back of your helmet and pump up the bag, lifting the helmet off your head without any strain on your neck. Because it lifts off the top of your head, the chance of further injury is drastically reduced.

Jim McLaren takes over chair at NFU Mutual
By Gordon Davidson News & Online Editor
Jim McLaren
Jim McLaren has been appointed as chairman of NFU Mutual, replacing Richard Percy who is retiring after seven years in the post.
Mr Percy will step down at the end of September, after spending a total of 16 years on the Mutual's board, during which time the business has prospered – it is now the UK's 14th largest insurer, with more than one million policies in force and £19 billion of assets under management.
Mr Percy said: "It has been a huge privilege to have served the Mutual over the last 16 years - seven of those as chairman. I am extremely proud of being part of this business which has grown strongly in the wider rural community and food processing sectors and, at the same time, developed its service to protect farm businesses through good times and bad, while keeping at the forefront of technological change."
NFU Mutual group chief executive Lindsay Sinclair, said: "Under Richard's chairmanship, NFU Mutual has continued to flourish and I would like to thank him for the part he has played in the company's success."
Mr Percy joined the NFU Mutual Board in 2003 and became chairman in 2012. He previously held a number of roles at the National Farmers Union, including serving as an NFU council member. He lives and farms in Bovingdon in Hertfordshire.
Mr McLaren, who has served on NFU Mutual's Board since 2012, will formally become chairman with effect from October 2019.
A former president of NFU Scotland, from 2007 until 2011, Mr McLaren is a mixed beef and arable farmer from Perthshire in central Scotland, who was awarded an MBE in 2017 for services to agriculture. His beef enterprise consists of a herd of pedigree Simmentals and a bull finishing unit. His arable enterprise runs to more than 1000 acres, growing mainly winter wheat and spring malting barley, with some land let out for potatoes, peas and carrots. Mr McLaren's last post was as chairman of Quality Meat Scotland, a position he held from 2011 to 2018.
Mr Sinclair said: "Jim's extensive farming expertise and leadership of many agricultural organisations, combined with his experience as an NFU Mutual director for the last seven years, provide the skills required to continue developing our services."
Jim himself said: "As a mutual insurer protecting over three quarters of UK farmers, and a strong supporter of the National Farming Unions, NFU Mutual is one of the countryside's leading organisations and as chairman I am looking forward to helping further develop its services for the benefit of members."

They were a GREAT motorcycle . H-D owners just could not bring themselves to ride one , no one else would go to a Harley shop and look at one . a buddy of mine that at one time had two Harleys and a Buell loved it . Something like 6 rear tires in the first year of ownership . He came by the shop one afternoon and let me take it for a spin , I had to stop twice , get off and make sure it had a V-twin engine . I can't recall the model . White , and the instrument cluster lights came on is sequence , then all on . It was WAY TOO righteous for me .
Instead of trying to figure out the regulator options I just got a lightly used one from @czakky When this one wears out I'll think about other choices. I have too many other projects and I can't have the Greenie down if the weather turns nice.
Okay, so "Electrosport." I see you asked, in that linked thread, "Which Electrosport is it?" , but I don't see a reply to that question.
So, which Electrosport is it?
ESR 515, then. Thanks for the clarification. Let us know how it works out . . .
Connectors were loose. I expanded the connector tips which helped and then used heat shrink to secure them. Started up the bike and it's charging. Was tempted to take a test ride but it's dark, 29˚ and I thought better.
Relocating the regulator is easly made in an afternoon with all parts. More electric hardware, tools, connectors, correct wire seals, still waiting for 12volt extra terminals.
Ohya my question, to rest my mind , Yes or No will be fine.
Isnt the green 30 amp fuse sort of on holiday the way the rectifier is hooked up now to the battery?
It finally warmed up enough last week for me to get out for a spin. According to the voltmeter on my heated grips it never went over 13.5v. Seems to be working right. One less thing to worry about.


We got cold weather and rain in January, and along with that came a green desert.Nothing like the weather some of our states are experiencing but cold for Arizona weather, at least for awhile. I hope everyone is safe and warm out in those crazy cold areas. This time of year has always been one of my favorite times here in Arizona. The colors everywhere are so striking compared to the normal colors of gray, brown and white.
I especially like seeing the little bits of green moss here and there. This is not something we get a lot of here in the hot desert, especially during our summer months.
When the rain and cold finally go away and everyone gets up early to head out for a hike, there are some beautiful little gems to see.
On this hike, that there were many visitors to greet my husband and I early in the morning. Pretty little flowers were all over the desert. What a treat for us both.
My favorites were the golden poppies.
Everywhere we walked, every corner we turned, we would see a pretty flower. All those colors were amazing.
Whenever anyone in our family asks us the best time to visit Arizona, we always answer back, between the months of October-April. That is when the sun is out, the temps are cool and flowers are everywhere.
Sometimes these beautiful golden flowers will cover a whole hill. Now that is a site to see, especially when you aren't expecting to see so many colors in a desert.
This was turning out to be another perfect hike. Every once in awhile, we would come across the tiniest little flowers, like these purple ones.
Or this tiny treasure. You have to get in really close to appreciate the detail. Some of these flowers are the size of a pinky nail.
I was so mesmerized by everything that I kept hiking.
Then I turned around and realized we were miles away from the parking lot. If you look in this photo, you can see the freeway way off in the distance, well, that is where the parking lot was.
I couldn't help it, it was so pretty. We had to get back home though, errands and shopping for food for my mother-in-law.
When we finally made it back to the parking lot we were greeted by these flowers as well, they remind me of daisies. If you look off in the background you will notice fencing posts and horse posts. You can not only hike our desert trails but also mountain bike or explore by horseback . It is huge and beautiful. There is so much to see.
It is also really easy to keep going on one of our trails here in our state. So please remember to bring water, and let people know where you are headed. With all your supplies and camera in hand just have fun and enjoy the beauty all around you.
Forgot to add this last photo of a little poppy coming up through a pile of rocks. Such a determined little guy. All life needs a chance to shine and be seen. Hope you all had fun on this little hike with us.
Previous Post Updates and my favorite blogger's posts this month at Our Little Red House.
I think the are called Mexican goldpoppies. So cool that you get flowers like this in London as well.
What a beautiful hike! I love seeing what it's like in difference parts of the world. I love the flowers and that huge cactus.
Thank you, me too. always love seeing what other parts of the world look like.
Beautiful, my fave is those cacti!
I dont know any winter except our canadian ones..cold wet grey and long.
Nice that some corners of the world isnt covered in ice and snow between oct n april. For us is can snow as early as oct and as late as april!
Thank you. I have only been around snow a couple of times. It is beautiful but after awhile it does get to be a problem, like driving in it, frozen pipes and I hate cold temps. I don't think I could survive in really cold weather, I was born and raised in a desert environment. I do love how the snow sparkles like diamonds though.
The first snowfall of the year is always magical but it gets old quick lol.
We got a lot of rain today here in the city. I think up north at Our Little Red House they are getting some snow right now.
Thanks so much for warming up my thoughts with your lovely post !!
Thank you, hope you are all well and staying warm over there. Have a wonderful weekend as well.
Gorgeous pics as always. I really like the little poppy coming up through the rocks. Strong and inspiring image.
Thank you. It amazes me how these flowers and plants will pop up anywhere.
Thank you. I think they go by the name Mexican Gold poppies. I need to research that. We should have a lot of wild flowers this year since we have been getting a lot of snow up in the high country.
It is so pretty. I have a post coming up later this week (hopefully) where we all went on a hike during a rainstorm, it was so beautiful. Can't wait to share those photos with everyone.
I love those poppies, they come in yellow and orange as you know and are just so pretty. I have another post coming on next month on all the wildflowers. The one scheduled this weekend is from a rainstorm we had, we have been getting a lot of rain lately. I have one photo in that post where the poppy is covered in raindrops. My husband took it and it is my favorite photo so far this year. We try to get out for a hike at least once a week before the summer months hit us and then it is too hot to do much.


The world's oldest head lice were 10,000 years old, give or take. Two varieties of louse have been feeding on human blood for much longer than that. They are actually adapted to prefer us as hosts. Six to twelve million kids in the U.S. get head lice per year.
Unlike body lice, which are dangerous and were spreaders of typhus fever for many years, head lice are relatively harmless. Also, unlike body lice, infestation has nothing to do with cleanliness of the person. If your child is sent home by the school nurse, spare yourself the shame.
It's all a matter of PH levels. When we are born, our scalps are neutral with a PH level of 7. But as we mature, they reach a range that is slightly acidic and form an "acid mantle." Most adults have an acid mantle that is inhospitable to lice. So that's why kids get lice more often. Because they spend a lot of time together in close quarters, children tend to spread lice rapidly.
Lice have three forms, the nit (egg), nymph, and adult. The adult louse is tan/gray, the size of a sesame seed and is six-legged. Lice mature in seven days and survive for 30, although they can only last 48 hours without a host. Your best chance of spotting an infestation is to find nits firmly attached to the hair shaft near the scalp, as the adults and nymphs are evasive.
The symptoms are simple: tickling and itching followed by scratching and, consequently, sores. If you suspect your child may have lice you can come in for a quick diagnosis with just a comb, magnifying glass, and possible microscope. You will likely want to report a lice infestation to your child's school nurse, as they are probably not the only case.
The child or family member with lice should undergo the protocol described on one of several over-the-counter treatment rinses and continue to be vigilant for 2-3 weeks. All family members should remain on guard (parents can host lice as well), and all surfaces in the home should be washed and disinfected. Don't worry about your pets, though—lice only want us!
Several prescription treatments with specific application instructions are also available for more stubborn infestations. We can definitely beat the lice. For more info, come in to one of our locations and speak to a physician about ways to rid your home of these itch-inducers today!

The Witcher 3 Patch Addresses PC Performance Issues Caused By Current-Gen Update
12/19/2022 Comments Off on The Witcher 3 Patch Addresses PC Performance Issues Caused By Current-Gen Update
Witcher 3 finally received its current-gen update last week, and while it was a peachy experience on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 (mostly), things weren't so great over on the PC side of the gaming spectrum. Broken ray tracing, DLSS not working, random crashes, and overall poor performance were just some of the issues players reported after receiving their upgrade, which many derided as a downgrade over the original.
Developer CD Projekt Red acknowledged the issues on PC and said it was "actively investigating," eventually narrowing down its top priority issues. Game crashes, poor ray tracing performance on Intel GPUs, and the Origin version of the game being unable to update were at the top, although CD Projekt Red stated it's still looking for more feedback for further performance enhancements.
Today, we got our first hotfix. CDPR said that the version number The Witcher 3 won't change, but it "should improve the overall stability and performance, and fix GOG & Steam overlays." Additionally, the Origin version of the game can finally update, so if you purchased The Witcher 3 on EA's launcher, now's your time to give the current-gen update a try. CD Projekt Red community director Marcin Momot said to set aside 3 GB for the update on Steam and 1.9 GB on GOG.
Aside from overhauling the game's visuals and adding a ton of new features, the current-gen update also adds a brand-new quest that has you help out a priest near The Devil's Pit. Complete the quest successfully with the "good" ending and you'll also notice a pooch named Kal wandering around the location. That's a nod to Henry Cavill's real-life dog, an American Akita named "Kal" for his role as Superman (Cavill's role, not the dog). There's also a mysterious new easter egg that refers to Cyberpunk 2077, another of CD Projekt Red's games that suffered a rough launch, but has managed to turn things around in the years since.

Supporting our young people
22 Oct 2022 • By Deb Thurgood Share:
I hope the first week of term 4 has gone well.
In a recent column, I spoke about supports that were available to parents and caregivers of children and the process for making a report of concern if you fear for the wellbeing or safety of a child. I also know that some of our youth are themselves struggling with their mental health and wellbeing – anxiety, disconnection and the negative effects associated with social media.
It can be hard for any person to open up and be vulnerable, and sometimes even harder to know where to go for help, counselling and general support.
Earlier today, I had a conversation with representatives of 24-7 Youthwork about their engagement in our community and the E Tu Tangata programme, which instills the belief that each individual has value, that we can succeed together and that others matter.
I applaud them as well as our schools for the hard mahi they are doing to support Cambridge youth and also recognise the recent involvement of other organisations such as "I am Hope" locally in this space.
If your child is struggling and isn't ready to speak to a friend or family member, there are independent organisations they can text or phone to contact a trained support person/counsellor for a korero and advice.
The following are just a text or phonecall away : – Youthline, 0800 376 633 or free text 234, What's Up?, 0800 942 8787 or www.whatsup.co.nz , The Low Down, 0800 111 757 or text 5626, and 1737 (text or call) is a nationwide support line. Sparx, 0508 4 Sparx (0508 477 279) or free text 3110, is a self-help e-therapy tool for youth (12-19yrs) and also offers a helpline. Lifeskills Cambridge also provides free counselling to primary age children in Cambridge (www.lifeskills.org.nz). Cambridge High School also has school counsellors on site. Where cyberbulling is an issue, there is also help available. Netsafe has a lot of information online at https://netsafe.org.nz .
On another note, just a reminder that for reporting historical incidents, you can phone 105 but also, you can access it online via the Internet at 105.police.govt.nz . Reporting online also enables you to upload any photos at the same time.
