India strike early after setting New Zealand 284 in first Test
India and New Zealand players in action during their first Test at Kanpur on Sunday.
KANPUR: India set New Zealand 284 runs to win after a lower order fightback from the Kiwi demolition of the hosts' top batters on the fourth day of the first Test on Sunday. Ravichandran Ashwin then took the first Black Caps wicket in the day's penultimate over when Will Young fell leg-before for 2 in unfortunate circumstances. Young, who scored 89 in the first innings at Kanpur, failed to review an umpire's call before the clock ran out — and the Ashwin delivery was missing his stumps. The final day will resume with Tom Latham on 2, and spinner William Somerville yet to score.
ShreyasIyer — the first Indian to score a century and a fifty on their debut — bolstered his side's second innings with 65 after key partnerships with Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha, who was unbeaten on 61 runs when the hosts declared at 234-7 after tea. India had started in a commanding position with a 63-run lead at 14-1, after Axar Patel's five-for wrapped up the Black Caps innings at 296 on Saturday. But New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee turned the tables with crucial wickets to leave India reeling at 51-5. Iyer, who scored his maiden Test century in the first innings, helped pull India out of trouble after a 52-run partnership with Ashwin, who left the pitch after chopping a rising Jamieson delivery. Jamieson had triggered the Indian top order collapse with Cheteshwar Pujara's wicket for 22 in the 12th over of the innings.
India then lost stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane at 41 after he fell leg-before to left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel. Southee returned for an inspired bowling spell and took two wickets in his maiden over. The veteran pacer first removed opener Mayank Agarwal for 17 after he edged to Tom Latham at second slip. One ball later, Southee took all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja leg-before for a duck to leave India 51-5.
'Session by session': A stubborn lower order performance on an uneven surface saved the hosts further embarrassment as they reached 167-7 at tea. "The idea was to play session by session," Iyer said. Coach Rahul Dravid "said that I need to stay out in the middle for as much as possible and build on the score," he added. Iyer built a 64-run partnership with Saha before falling to Southee, who took three wickets in his 22 overs for 75 runs. Saha then played a gritty innings with Axar Patel, unbeaten on 28, to stitch an unfinished 67-run partnership before the Indian declaration.
Iyer said the hosts had the "spin power" to keep the visitors under pressure for the final day. Jamieson, who took three wickets in the second innings, also became the fastest Kiwi to 50 wickets in his ninth Test, beating Shane Bond's record by three matches. Patel took another wicket but the other two New Zealand spinners — Rachin Ravindra and William Somerville — went wicketless.

I haven't posted in awhile so I thought it was time to show my nerdiness!
(Nerd – definition – A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept) IRONIC that this post is about social skills!
I really enjoy teaching Social Skills! I've noticed, as I'm sure most of you have also, that many of my kids on the spectrum have great difficulty with reading comprehension. They especially have trouble with higher order language skills such as inferencing, predicting, cause/effect, etc.
I'm sure if we collaborated with regular and special education teachers about targeting pragmatics in their lessons, we'd get to target social skills more than once a week! I think that it'd be worth the time!
So, how does Social Skills relate to Reading Comprehension?
"Theory of Mind, one aspect of pragmatic competence defined as the ability to appreciate another person's thoughts and beliefs, is important for reading comprehension. Theory of mind has its roots in the early years when children begin to appreciate the feelings of another person (empathize). More advanced understanding is required in order to appreciate communicative acts, such as joking, lying, criticism and irony. These non-literal themes are often conveyed in stories. Communication as well as reading frequently involves looking beyond the precise information stated; it also involves understanding other relevant information that needs to be coded to understand the message being conveyed. These assumptions are often referred to as inferences. Inference-making can be thought of as a process of 'gap-filling'; inference-making is automatic for the skilled user of language and is important both for listening and for reading comprehension".
"Inferences are fundamental to successful reading comprehension. Research has shown that children as young as four years old can generate certain types of inferences during reading; generally these are causal in nature (e.g. what causes a physical action). Children become more adept at inference generation with age and older children tend to generate only those inferences that are necessary for text comprehension".
"In contrast to spoken language, written text contains far fewer contextualization cues for readers as an audience to draw inferences from. For example, in a spoken context, listeners have access to paralinguistic clues such as voice quality, intonation, volume, etc. as well as nonverbal signals such as gestures and facial expression. But in written text, such clues are not always present".
Check out my TPT resource "To Text or Not to Text"; this resource targets perspective taking, problem solving, inferencing, predicting, paralinguistics (i.e. prosody)!
"Although words alone carry meaning, reading for the most part involves the deciphering of phrases and sentences, which depends on both the words and how those words are organized. Therefore, it is important to spend instructional time not only on the meanings of individual words but also on the meanings of phrases and complete sentences. Pragmatics, which is introduced in the later primary years (7-12) Pragmatics involves understanding how the context influences the way sentences convey information. A sentence can have different purposes depending on the situation or context in which it is used. It can be a mere statement or affirmation, but it can also be a warning, a promise, a threat, or something else. Readers with pragmatic knowledge and skills are able to decipher these different intents from the context".
"Teachers in the later primary years need to show children how to use context clues that surround an unfamiliar word to help figure out the word's meaning. Because children learn most word meanings indirectly, or from context, it is important that they learn to use context clues effectively. However, context clues alone are not enough; the teacher will need to teach other word-meaning strategies to develop the child's ability to learn new words".

Do you incorporate reading comprehension in your social skills groups? If so, how?


Trent Teti experiences equal parts horror and fascination when he realizes that he's taught more LSAT courses, to more people, than just about anyone else in the world. At some point along the way, he started an LSAT company called Blueprint that does the same. Teaching LSAT classes provides a fairly strange vantage point, and Trent is repeatedly confronted with a rather narrow cross-section of humanity (aspiring lawyers) during what they believe to be the most stressful time of their lives (which will, no doubt, be dwarfed by future harrowing events the like of which they have yet to conceive).
The cyclical nature of LSAT preparation forces a blighted few, Trent Teti included, to answer the same questions regarding the LSAT ad infinitum. Part of the motivation for Trent Teti's blog is to set forth some provisional answers regarding these issues. Another motive is to address some broader cultural issues that may be of interest to students studying for the LSAT. Some of these include the nature of genius, the probable LSAT scores of characters on LOST, and issues regarding the lives of lawyers in general.
The last motive is to assure that Trent Teti avoids working on a languishing dissertation in philosophy he's fairly certain won't write itself.
As for the rest, Trent enjoys Illy cafe, motorcycles, and Apple Computers. He's either indifferent toward or actively dislikes most everything else.
In particular, Mr. Teti loathes certain expressions (which are sadly in vogue of late) that express trivial truth, such as "It is what is is." Trent also dies a little when he hears locutions that are apparently devoid of any content, such as "whatever." Lastly, he's annoyed by the use of expressions that strive at meaning, but apply improper predicates, such as "Let's be real," (as if we could be unreal), when what is meant is that we ought to try to be authentic or sincere.
Like many of you, we tuned into this evening's Republican Presidential Debate eagerly expecting a saloon brawl. And like many of you, we were a bit disappointed.
When studying for the LSAT it's easy to think fallacies are akin to other formal definitions and procedures we learn in college; important for a narrowly specified purpose in the short term, but otherwise largely irrelevant to our lives.
At Blueprint, our view is different. We think fallacious reasoning exists outside of the rarified world of the LSAT and that, at times, it can rear its ugly head and infect even the most level-headed of us.
Various circumstances encourage poor reasoning, but chief among these are politics and religion. Our etiquette conveniently holds that we shouldn't talk about such things so that we publicly justify our inchoate intuitions about the existence of god or the wisdom of universal health care.
After days and days of serious intellectual toil, we've come up with our analysis of the October 2010 LSAT.
Overall, it seems that logic games were of a more uniform difficulty than in years past, reading comprehension was pretty hard, and logical reasoning was generally pretty average in terms of difficulty. We can't go into too much more detail for reasons of national security and LSAC's licensing agreements, but for slightly more in depth analysis (including a brief explanation of the driver/cars game), check out Matt's video covering the ins and outs of the test after the jump (or in the featured video tab on the right hand side of the page).
Breaking News: The iPhone Gets you Laid!
Rumors about the legal profession's demise have become so common lately that one can almost be faulted for not knowing its dismal state. The WSJ legal blog and Above the Law were among the earliest and most vocal critics of the profession's future, but recently even the mainstream media have started banging the drum. Both the Los Angeles and New York Times have run a variety of stories about the dearth of jobs for law school graduates, their mountains of non-dischargeable debt, and the responsibility law schools have to reduce their admissions.
Do Law Schools Average LSAT Scores?
I wanted to write about why the couple that crashed the President's first state dinner should be strung up and publicly flogged for days on end. But editorial rejected it because they wanted to me write something about the LSAT.
So then I offered to write an analysis of why our failure to punish a couple who crash a President's state dinner in hopes of landing a Bravo reality show indicates that the post WWII American empire is dead, dead, dead. That was rejected by editorial on grounds that it was the same as the first story (which it kind of was, but still), and because they wanted something about the LSAT.


Portland's Multnomah Athletic Club proudly hosted the 2018 Pacific Northwest Regional Championships, featuring defending regional champion, current Oregon state champion and R48 #20 Dalton Beall, Oregon superstar Cody Townsend, former R48 semifinalist Aaron Garner, former national open champion Ryan Grossenbacher, WPH ambassador Stephen Stenberg, Matt Steele, Sean Steele, and a number of contenders from the Pacific Northwest. 2500 miles away, Erie, PA hosted the 7th Annual 2018 Great Lake Handball Doubles Shootout at the Downtown YMCA, featuring top players from PA and Ohio, including top six WPH Pittsburgh Ladder stars Andrew Joseph and Mathieu Pelletier and the father-son teams of Bruce and Joe Frankenfeld and Jeff and Jay Cattron.
Portland, OR- The Pacific Northwest's top two stars met in the Pacific Northwest Regional final, as current Oregon State champion Dalton Beall outlasted a hot-handed Matt Steele in the upper bracket semifinals and Cody Townsend turned back former R48 Elite 8 invitee Aaron Garner in a slugfest in the bottom bracket semifinal.
Beall and Townsend not only play in virtually every major final in the Pacific Northwest, but also play weekly in Oregon. "When Cody had his baby a few months ago my game really suffered because we weren't able to play much," stated Beall.
The final was an epic clash between the two great friends and class of the Pacific Northwest. Townsend started hot in game one, racing to a 10-4 lead, only to see Beal rally to take a 16-13 lead. Another momentum change saw Townsend reel off seven straight points to take a 20-16 lead, only to stall and open the door for five unanswered points and a one-game lead for Beall. Beall extended his scoring streak to 10 to start game two, taking a 5-0 lead and threatening to pull away from the Pride of Eugene. Beall kept his foot on the gas, extending his lead to 16-6.
"Kills, re kills, and dives all over the place," barked referee and WPH reporter Nick Flores. Townsend cut Beall's lead to three with an offensive clinic. "Cody starting raining kills from everywhere," reported Flores. Beall withstood the Townsend attack and reached match point at 20-15. A 28-shot rally ended with a Beall kill and championship, earning DB his second Grand Slam in a row: State Singles and State Doubles + Regional Singles and Regional Doubles in the same season.
Thank you to WPH reporter Nick Flores for the updates from Portland.
Erie, PA- Top six WPH Pittsburgh Ladder stars Andrew Joseph and Mathieu Pelletier made the 135-mile mile drive north from the friendly confines of the Steel City to the Great Lakes in Erie, PA for the 7th Annual Great Lakes Handball Doubles Shootout at Erie's Downtown YMCA.
Pittsburgh's #3 Joseph and #6 Pelletier teamed up for the first time in major doubles play and cruised to the final with a straightforward win against Ohio's Carlos Vasquez and Pete Giavarra. Awaiting Team Jolletier in the final was the father-son due of Bruce and Joe Frankenfield, who defeated Sharon, PA's father-son team of Jeff and Jay Cattron.
Joseph was seeking revenge against Joe Frankenfeld in the Great Lakes final, having just lost to Joe in overtime in round robin play at the recent WPH PA State Championships, costing Joseph a shot at the PA State title.
The always-confident Team Jolletier were dominated in both games of the final, as the Pittsburghers trailed Team Frankenfeld 15-21, 13-20. Serving for the match and the championship, 6'4 left-handed flamethrower Joe Frankenfeld ripped a power serve down the left, only to watch helplessly as a Joseph punch fist return struck Big Joe square in his mouth, jarring several teeth loose and creating a strong flow of blood. Joseph immediately started the injury clock on his cross state rival, resuming play right at the 15-minute mark.
Following the break, Team Pittsburgh earned a side out and served out the second game, scoring eight straight points on the first server. The tiebreaker was one-way traffic for Team Jolletier, as the Pittsburgh Ladder stars allowed just one point, scoring 19 of the final 20 points of the bloodbath. "When Pittsburgh and Cleveland get together, there will be blood," stated Team Jolletier.

These tiny drink factories can be powered by the sun to allow users to create a brewery almost anywhere — here's how they work
Mary Meisenzahl Jul. 28, 2020, 10:50 PM
Wayout microfactory. Wayout
Swedish company Wayout created beverage microfactories that can be plugged in anywhere.
Users select recipes, order ingredients, and more through an app.
The microfactories minimise emissions, energy, and plastic waste.
Transportation and food systems are some of the largest industries contributing to climate change, and Swedish company Wayout has a solution beer and a smartphone app. The company's microfactories treat water and turn it into different beverages, all within a machine smaller than 350 square feet.
Wayout's microfactories are "plug and play," so beverages can be ready to go almost immediately as long as the operator has water and a power source. They come with materials for brewing beer and cider, which are ready in about a week, plus syrups for different sodas. Owners can customise any kind of craft beers or soda they can imagine, with the help of Wayout's brewmasters.
With these microfactories, Wayout has removed many of the biggest environmental impacts of typical consumption. All the energy and emissions from bottling drinks, logistics, distribution, and producing plastic are gone when beverages are produced on-site. One safari camp in the Serengeti is already making plans to use a solar powered microfactory to produce four custom craft beers only available at the camp.
Here's how it works.
The first and most important thing Wayout microfactories do is treat water to make it suitable for drinking. It can even desalinate salt water, and treat 300 litres of water per hour.
Depending on what ingredients are included, the microfactory can make still or sparkling flavored water, plus tonics and soda.
Then, drinks are served cold directly from the module.
The microfactory can contain a full brewery, with water, hops, malt, and yeast to brew beer.
The microfactory weighs about 7.5 tons empty, and 12.5 tons when full.
It has a capacity of brewing 3,000 litres every month, and preparing 70,000 litres of water per month.
Serving these drinks instead of bottled plastic or glass, each microfactory can prevent eight tons of CO2 and up to 200,000 plastic bottles each month.
The microfactories can even be powered by solar energy for greater sustainability.
The machine automatically recycles water and energy, too.
Besides manually loading ingredients, every aspect of the microfactory is controlled through Wayout's app.
The first of these microfactories was delivered to Nairobi in January, and the next will be for a safari camp in the Serengeti, which can serve craft brews onsite.

Members are encouraged to join together and to participate in many exciting projects - the romance of finding a shipwreck permits one to experience first hand, tangible history into how we once travelled, lived and how the lives of those on board were changed for ever - there is even the possibility of a discovery that will change New Zealand recorded history.


The SS BADGER is a cross-Lake Michigan car ferry. She used to work for the Cheasepeak and Ohio (Chessie System) Railroad. Over time these car ferries became too cost inefficient. Now she is owned by another company and travels twice a day from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
You can see the large piles of coal at her dock, this is because the SS BADGER is coal fired. We didn't get a chance to get aboard her while we were in Manitowoc, hopefully next time we will.

Right now the shoe kinda looks like it came out of surgery... but she'll be okay. Once those straps were set, I added the center (vertical) strap and let it set a bit. This strap has 3 pieces-- a center red piece with the zipper on it, and then the outside red piece with the stitching.

Americas Oldest Art Found on Mammoth Bone?
Archaeology Cryptozoology
13,000-year-old bone etching
The Americas' oldest known artist may have been an Ice Age hunter in what is now Florida, according to an anthropologist who has examined a 13,000-year-old bone etching.
The carved bone, which depicts a walking mammoth, was found near Vero Beach in east-central Florida.
The now exclusive area once hosted giant beasts and nomadic bands of Ice Age hunters, said Barbara Purdy, a professor emerita at the University of Florida.
The examinations revealed that the light etching is not recent, and that it was made a short time after the animal died, according to Purdy.
Scientists also determined the 38 centimeter long (15-inch) bone fragment probably belonged to one of three animals: a mammoth, a mastodon, or a giant sloth, all of which died out between about 12,000 to 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.

Encountering God in our worship-spaces.
Lang, Paul H. The Pilgrim's Compass (pp. 64-65). Presbyterian Publishing. Kindle Edition.
As we make our way toward the Day of Resurrection one of the things we might do with more intentionality is to wonder about the sacred spaces in our life. Do we treat those spaces with the reverence due to a place where we are about to have an audience with the Almighty? When I visit Cistercian monasteries in order to be alone with God I am always touched by the reverence the monks give to the place of worship. Each enters and departs by pausing, turning to the altar and making a slow and deep bow. I have never asked my Cistercian friends about their reverence of the worship space, but I find it to be a beautiful expression of their confidence that they are with God when the enter that room.
Daily Collect: Lord God, you promise that we are given a place in your kingdom, and a way to follow you there. We give thanks that you remain with us on our journey of faith and pray that you will help us to hallow the sacred spaces in our life, that we might see how deeply they are imbued not only with your love, but with the hopes and aspirations of our spiritual forebears. May our prayers join with theirs and be woven into the fabric of a deep and abiding faith. We ask it in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Two defensive linemen who have not seen regular-season action since the 2016 season will join the Broncos, one a familiar face. The Broncos signed Billy Winn and Mike Purcell on Monday, the team announced.
Winn played in 16 games, starting two, for the 2016 Broncos. The team re-signed Winn in 2017, but prior to Vance Joseph's first season, Winn went down with an ACL tear. He did not play last season. But Vic Fangio will give the 30-year-old lineman another chance.
Winn started 18 games with the Browns from 2012-14. With three career sacks (and none since 2014), Winn would profile as depth if he makes the Broncos' roster. Purcell would as well.
The former UDFA, though, has a history with Fangio. Purcell entered the NFL as a 49ers UDFA when Fangio was still San Francisco's defensive coordinator. Having attended the Broncos' voluntary minicamp last week, Purcell would be entering his age-28 season. Purcell spent the 2018 offseason with the Chiefs but did not make their 53-man roster. He started five games for the 2016 49ers but has not played since.
Derek Wolfe, Adam Gotsis, Shelby Harris and Zach Kerr are almost certain to be back in the Broncos' D-line rotation. Former second-round pick DeMarcus Walker has played sparingly but remains on the team as well. The Broncos may also address this position in the draft.
Denver also added offensive lineman Jake Rodgers, another attendee at the team's voluntary minicamp. Rodgers, a seventh-round Falcons pick in 2015, has spent time on five teams' practice squads.


The evening's guest speaker, Alan, is passionate about the value of quality training and has wide experience in training sales people. Alan emphasised it is not so much what we say but how we say it. He suggested that if we tune our words to emotion we will have more success. For example, telling his wife she looks nice in that dress vs saying that she looks delicious in that dress…you have to agree he has a point, the latter is an attention grabber.
Alan kindly agreed to share his extensive experience and valuable insights with us: the interactive workshop on how to train your memory was truly memorable. Alan taught us that our memories rely on pictures, not words, and shared with us a memory method that he came across as a teenager and which he has used to great success ever since, including presenting the evening's workshop of over an hour with no notes whatsoever! Thank you, Alan, for a most enlightening session.

Q: How to automatically add X-CSRF-TOKEN with jQuery ajax request in Laravel How can I add csrf token with my ajax requests (GET or POST) of my Laravel application automatically without adding it manually to each and every request.
My ajax Request
   $.ajax({
      type:'post',
      url: "/email/unique",
      data: { "_token": "{{ csrf_token() }}", "email": email }
      success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
      }
   });

A: In Laravel the value of the csrf-token meta tag registers by default with the Axios HTTP library. But If you are not using this library, you will need to manually configure this behavior for your application.
To do this, store the token in a HTML meta tag

<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

Then, once you have created the meta tag, you can instruct the jQuery library to automatically add the token to all the request headers.
For that add the code to the resources/js/bootstrap.js file for Laravel 5.7 and resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js for Laravel 5.6 and below versions.
$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: {
        'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
    }
});

Ajax without csrf token as it will get added automatically
$.ajax({
      type:'post',
      url: "/email/unique",
      data: { "email": email }
      success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
 });

Awesome to see where they came from!!
You should post more of your trich shots!
I was given a clone and told it was from Grand Daddy Purple Seeds from a trusted and reliable source.
Mine appears to be something of a mutant plant, and it was this one that failed to produce seeds.
I also did not quite get to 8 weeks before harvest (Grower's fault). May be plant is not good for seeding too. I am going to try again with a second clone shortly, and will run this plant until it drops. Maybe I will have better luck next run.
This is supposedly the source of the seed.
This is just a stock lens shot on auto holding it still as I can. I used to use a tripod and shoot on macro, but without the true lens and no stacking I'll always be a hack. That shot looks decent but if you blow it up most of the detail gets lost.
I'm just glad there is an auto funtion.
He didn't specify much more than what I've said, but he was known to grow plants in the 15-20 foot range.
@toastyjakes - I have to say, you take some of the best pics Ive seen. What camera, gear are you using? Are these taken of cutting or are you getting these from a live plant? If so, how are you holding the camera steady enough to get these pics?
Do have a camera coming though that will put up some amazing shots!
My cell phone actually takes better pics than my Cannon Digital Rebel. I paid close to $800 for that thing way back in the day.
Come on everybody? No-one has a plant with trichs on it right now?
And it's about time!!! HERE WE GO!!!
We'll get more in depth as they grow.. I know there is someone out there with a trichome blizzard happening! Show em!!
I started taking some today, but only had time for a few. This one was the best of those and not worth much.

This protected area is predominantly a semi-evergreen forest, most of which has never been logged. It is a forest characterized by an enormous variety of plants, with more than 300 species of trees. Together with its floral richness Lobeke has 45 mammal species, excluding rodents, 305 bird species -3 of them new to science!-. 18 out of 30 species of reptiles found in the sub-region have been recorded in Lobeke, 16 amphibians, and about 215 butterfly species can be found there, 8 of them being endemic in Cameroon.One of Lobeke's most outstanding characteristics is its amazing network of swampy forest clearings. These large clearings, known as 'bais' by the Baka pygmies, are rich in saltlicks and serve as a pool of attraction for wildlife. Six forest clearings are being monitored in Lobeke.Observation towers (miradors) have been recently constructed near these bais. Miradors are wooden structures that can accommodate up to five people and serve as platform for observation of animals the visit the clearings.

Fauna Conservation introduces Non-Fungible Tokens to raise funding for Cambodia's conservation sector
Fauna Conservation NFT
Gareth Johnson
Fauna Conservation NFT is aiming to revolutionize the way Cambodia's conservation funds are raised and invested through the use of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
And what is an NFT? A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a completely unique digital asset, with the owner able to prove their ownership of said NFT.
The concept is new, but has already been utilized in the sports arena, with one NFT in the "NBA Top Shot" collection recently selling for around $200,000.
The concept works by utilizing the often controversial blockchain technology, commonly associated with "get rich quick" schemes, bitcoin, and a vast selection of other cryptocurrencies.
However, Fauna Conservation co-founder Thomas Hesketh feels confident in the future of blockchain technology – telling Cambodia Investment Review "many are rightfully cautious about blockchain projects – the tech is still in its infancy, and many initiatives will fail."
He added, "however, we believe there will be a shift in mindset as people engage with blockchain applications on a more regular basis, for example, many in Cambodia will start by using the Bakong payment service".
How can NFT's help with conservation in Cambodia?
The idea came to the team while kayaking from the Laos border to Kratie, where they spotted the extremely rare Mekong Dolphin.
With a previous interest in the blockchain space, the rare sighting inspired the concept: create NFTs of rare species that can be purchased and traded in not too dissimilar a fashion to Pokemon cards.
However, in this case, each purchase or trade of the NFT would lead to a donation to a conservation NGO.
Fauna Conservation NFT aims not only to raise awareness of the plight of endangered species, but more importantly, raise much needed funds that can be put back into conservation efforts within the Kingdom.
Fauna Conservation and NFTs for Development in Asia
The Fauna Conservation NFT team
Looking for funding for their project, the team entered the "NFTs for Development in Asia" competition organised by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Against extremely tough competition, with over 200 participants and 99 teams, they managed to win the final round against groups from Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, with the Fauna project succeeding against ideas that included tokenised carbon credits, and tokenised ownership of solar panels.
After finishing in first place, the team will receive seed funding to set up not only a fully-fledged not-for-profit organization, but also the first NFT project specifically aimed at conservation.
And as for the future? The Fauna team are currently looking to partner with global conservation bodies, as well as people wishing to get directly involved in the project, such as artists and digital illustrators.
And of course, hopefully have a positive impact on conservation efforts, with co-founder Todd Hunkin adding "We see great potential in the use of NFTs as a donation and funding mechanism – this is only the start".

The Elie Chain Walk
January 18, 2019 Àndraa
Coastal towns always have a touch of uniqueness to them. From their scenery to landscapes, their history to smells, there's always something that makes them stand out or leave a certain memory in your head. And for Elie, a small coastal town in Fife, that is no different.
There is one thing that stands out for me when I think of Elie, the chain walk. One of Fife's and scotland's best kept secrets. Situated down past the golf course along the beach it's a great activity for friends and families to do. It goes for a fair distance, making you use chains to shimmy along the side of the cliffs hanging over the water, and also up and down parts of the rocks that surround it. It's a hard graft but a great experience. It's completely free and you can do it anytime you wish. Be sure to check the tide before taking part though, If you do it as the tide comes in and when it's a horrible day then it may ultimately leave you stuck for a number of hours followed by a phone call to the coastguard and an embarrassing escort back to the car but we can talk about that another day….
At the top of the cliffs at the chain walk, lies the Kincraig hill battery. An abandoned area that was used in WW2 for defence, which is really cool!
Apart from the chain walk Elie has plenty more to offer. Golf is said to have been played in the town as early as the 15th century, and is still played today on a wonderful course at the Elie golf club. If you like your golf you should definitely go for a round here. Lady's tower and Ardross castle are two historic ruins that give you beautiful views of the sea and surrounding countryside and an insight into the past. The ship inn and the Elie deli are also two very nice places to grab a bite to eat or have a cup of tea in. They both boast of good menus which are more than value for money. There is also a number of shops, from boutiques to gift shops that are worth a little venture in. When I was younger my mum used to love them, she'd spend ages looking and buying things that much that it would be a struggle trying to get her to leave! Last but not least has to be the beach. Who doesn't love the beach? If you catch it on a good day then it's an absolute pleasure to chill at.
I'd highly recommend Elie for a day out, the chain walk is honestly a great experience and it will be a place that will more than definitely stay with you for a long time! As always, happy travels!

The Devil's Pulpit
October 28, 2018 October 28, 2018 Àndraa
Finnich Glen, otherwise known as The devil's Pulpit is a magical wee place in Stirlingshire, Scotland. Located somewhere between Drymen (Druiminn) and Kilearn (Cill Earnain) it is home to some pretty spectacular views, it's also an area that is drenched in folklore and legends.
The name relates to a rock located there that is shaped like a pulpit that you would find in a Church, though this Pulpit is surrounded by 100 ft walls and bloodied waters instead of benches or seats. Legend has it that Satan supposedly preached here, others have it as an an ancient meeting place for the Druids (Members of the high ranking professional class in the Ancient Celtic culture).
The water is of course not blood, the water isn't even red it's just the effect that the red sandstone below it gives off. Regardless of why the water looks red, it does, and it's honestly awesome!
If you do not know where you're going it is an absolute nightmare to find, i say this because it took me two separate attempts to find it. The first time i went, there was very little information available regarding it which ultimately led to us heading the opposite direction and spending a full day searching with no luck. After it featured in Outlander a while back it's popularity seems to have increased and there now seems to be numerous articles with information about it's where abouts available online.
If you plan on going be sure to make sure you have suitable clothing and shoes as getting there can be a bit dangerous or tricky. The stairs leading down (also known as the devil's steps) were built in the 1860's and are very narrow and slippy so please watch your footing. sometimes you may find a rope at the side of the stairs to guide you but not always, so again please be careful if you're going down them.
There is a carpark located at the end of the B834 just before the A809 road. It's not the biggest of carparks but getting parked there shouldn't be an issue.
How to get to the Devil's Pulpit from the carpark
At the car park you're wanting to take a left hand turn down the A809 and just keep following the road down. You will eventually come across a small opening to the left which will have a sign for it on the other side. Once you get through the opening, keep following the path. It's a couple of minutes walk but the stairs should end up on your left, it's a small entrance to the stairs so make sure you keep an eye out for them. Below is a step by step guide.
The Devil's Pulpit is a great wee day out, fun and challenging it's a place that will no doubt stay in your mind for the rest of your days. If you do visit please be careful, the footing on the stairs, the 70 foot drop surrounding it and swimming in the water can be very dangerous. It's also a place you may struggle for a phone signal so please be careful. As always though, happy travels!

Glenfinnan (or Gleann Fhionnain in Scottish Gaelic) is a hamlet in the Highlands area of Scotland and one of Scotland's most iconic places. If you haven't saw it in the Harry Potter films or on the back of a tenner, you've probably seen it somewhere else. It's an area rich in history and a place that is fantastic for a day out with friends, yourself or with your family. It lies about 30 minutes' drive, west of Fort William along the A830 on the road to Mallaig.
It's an area drenched in history dating back hundreds of years. On the 19th of August, 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his father's standard on the shores of Loch Shiel which was a pivotal moment as this marked the start of the Jacobite rebellion and what would ultimately change Scottish history and culture forever.
In 1815 a monument was erected in tribute to the Jacobite clansmen who had fought and died in the cause of the Bonnie Prince. It was designed by a Scottish architect by the name of James Gillespie Graham. It stands at 18m high, and at the top there is a lone kilted Highlander which serves as reminder. The visitor centre offers guided tours to the top of the monument which are well worth doing, the views of Loch Shiel and the surrounding areas are truly breath-taking.
The visitor centre tells the story of the Bonnie Prince and his campaign, from Glenfinnan to Derby then all the way back to the final defeat at Culloden. It gives a good insight into the Jacobite Rising and is well worth a wee venture to. If you are travelling by car then the car park at the visitor centre is probably the best place to park, it costs to park but gives you the best access to the centre and to the monument and saves a lot of hassle.
The viaduct is another famous landmark which is simply stunning. Constructed in 1897 by Sir Robert McAlpine it has a staggering 21 Arches and reaches a height of 100ft above the valley. It is made completely of concrete and is used by passenger trains from Glasgow Queen Street & Mallaig. Police had to issue a warning to people walking on the viaduct due to a number of near misses so if you are visiting the viaduct, gonnae no walk on it. A plague was unveiled at the base of one of its Arches in 1997 to commemorate it's centenary so if you are walking down at the Arches then that's something to look out for.
The Jacobite steam train has been operating on the line every Summer since 1984. It is an 84 mile round trip which starts in Fort William and ends in Mallaig and travels through some of the most beautiful areas in Scotland. If you ever get the chance to go on it then honestly do it, some of the views and scenery you will see are jaw droppingly beautiful. There's a reason it has been called "the most beautiful rail journey in the world". You may recognise the steam train from the Harry Potter films as it was used as the Hogwarts Express with the viaduct also being included in the films.
If you want to see more of the area or to get some spectacular views then the Viaduct trail is perfect for you. It is around a 2.5 mile walk and lasts usually between1 and 2 hours. The start of the trail is at the car park on your first right if you are heading from the visitor centre, if you are coming from Mallaig then it's the first car park on the left before the visitor centre car park.
Glenfinnan is honestly a cracking day out for everyone. If ever get the chance to visit, whether it be on the train or bus or car then you should jump at the chance to go. It's a place that you showcases some of the finest beauty in Scotland and a place that you will never forget.

Ahh Pittenweem (Baile na h-Uaimh in Scottish Gaelic), the beautiful little picturesque seaside village which sits on the coast of the kingdom of Fife. Sitting 11 miles south of St Andrews, the small fishing town with a population of around 1,700 people should be on your bucket list if you're ever in the vicinity. Famous for its fish which are popular with families all across Scotland, it's a village with a fascinating yet dark history.
What started off as an early Christian settlement many centuries ago, it was awarded the status of a Royal burgh by King James V in 1541. In 1705 it was the scene of a famous murder, in which a woman named Janet Cornfoot was falsely accused of being a witch and was lynched to death by a mob of locals. It's history regarding witches is well worth a look into, as it's very interesting.
The village is one that I hold close to my heart, with several of my relatives living in the village it's a place where I spent a good number of days as a child visiting. It is also the place where my brother and my papa were laid to rest after they both sadly passed away, my brother loved it so much as a bairn that my parents decided it would be the best place to honour him. So it's a place that holds a sentimental value to me naturally.
Onto a cheerier note though, if you've ever watched the visitscotland promo videos there's a good chance you will have seen Pittenweem. Which brings me onto my next point, what to do?
The main place to go is the harbour, the views of the village from the pier is incredible. It is such a beautiful view, with the boats, shops and houses in the background it gives you a homely/calm feeling. It's the type of view you would expect to see on a postcard. If you do visit the harbour then make sure you get yourself down to a place called the ice cream shop, the ice cream is truly phenomenal and with the amount of sweets available which are too good to turn down you're sure to have a sugar rush for days.

Pittenweem priory was an augustinian priory which was built in 1318. Built over the ancient sacred cave associated with Saint Fillan, there is a stairwell linking the grounds to the cave but this has been closed off to members of the public. Although the site is now a parish kirk for the church of Scotland, the beautiful building still stands and is very impressive to visit. Most of the fortified east gatehouse still stands which can be dated back to the 15th century, as well as the gate house which is described as "one of Scotland's best-preserved late medieval houses".
St fillan's cave is a hidden cave located on Cove wynd down next to the harbour. Being used as a chapel from the 7th century, it became popular with smugglers who used it for centuries but due to them using it as a rubbish dump the cave went off grid for a long time. In 1935 a horse fell down a hole which led to the rediscovery of the cave, and after being cleared of the rubbish it was refurbished and reopened to the public in 2000. The cave has a locked gate, but a key and an information leaflet are available from the Cocoa Tree Cafe which is close by at 9 High St. It costs £1 for an adult and kids go free. The church also occasionally holds services in the cave.

There are several shops located throughout the town, as well as several beaches. If you're ever lucky enough to visit when it's sunny (which is a rarity for us in Scotland) then grab an ice cream and go sit down at the beach, it's honestly sheer bliss.
Pittenweem is a lovely wee village which is the perfect place for a wee day away or a stopover. It is a wonderful example of a traditional Scottish fishing village and the type of place your bound to fall in love with. Happy travels folks!
Cúm Gàidhlig beò!
Kilmartin or Cille Mhàrtainn (in Gaelic) is a bonnie wee village in the Argyll and Bute area of Scotland. Famous for the Kilmartin Glen, which is said to have one of the "richest concentrations of prehistoric monuments and historical sites in Scotland". Seriously though, this place is an archaeologists heaven.
It's a village that you won't often find on the majority of mainstream guides, just like many of the hidden gems in Scotland it isn't one of the must see places you'll read or hear about on the tele or online. For someone who travels all over Scotland regularly I only discovered it by accident just recently, and it was honestly the best accident I've ever encountered.
What is there to do in Kilmartin?
Kilmartin Parish Church
Kilmartin is littered with things to see or do, literally. Kilmartin Glen alone contains over 350 monuments scattered within a 6 mile radius. It's the location of a number of important Neolithic, bronze age and iron age sites. This includes Temple wood, which consists of North and South stone circles with a burial cist in the middle. It is estimated that these were in use around 3000 bc! Aswell as Temple wood there are several burial cairns, chambered cairns, standing stones and cup and ring marked rocks all within walking distance.
Carnasserie Castle is a ruined tower house approximately 2km north of Kilmartin. It was built around 1565 and 1572 and after being blown up by royalist forces in 1685 it fell into disuse. It was taken over by historic Scotland and is superbly preserved. It is completely free of charge to go in and explore.
The medieval hill fort of Dunadd is another must see site. Believed to be the capital of the kingdom of Dál Riata (an ancient Kingdom of the Scotti tribe) it has been traced back as far as the 6th century. It is free of charge to explore.
Kilmartin parish church dates back to 1835, though there had been previous churches on the site before it. It is home to the Kilmartin stones, 79 ancient grave stones with some dating back as far the 9th/10th century. There has been a lot of theories regarding the stones and having a connection to the Knights Templars, but these theories are unproven. The church also harbours the Kilmartin crosses which are traced back to the 9th/10th centuries. It is open for visitors between 09:00 and 16:00.
Kilmartin House Museum
Kilmartin house is an award winning museum which interprets the monuments in the area. It has a collection of excavated artifacts that have been found within the area. It cost £6.50 for an adult and £2 for a child. It is open between 10:00 and 17:30.
The last on the list to visit is Kilmartin Castle, which was built around 1580. It stands above the village and up until recently was up for sale for around a generous price of £400,000.
It is based around 8 miles North of Lochgilphead and 30km south of Oban. It is accessible by the A816 which runs through the town. As always I recommend travelling by car, it has so many more pros than cons. If you're travelling by train, the closest train station is Oban so you would need to get the bus from Oban to Kilmartin. Travelling by bus is a lot easier, there are lots of buses that go to Lochgilphead from Glasgow and many buses that go to Oban from all over Scotland. There are busses between Lochgilphead and Oban daily which pass through Kilmartin.
If you love history, or are interested in Scottish culture then Kilmartin is the place to be. For a small village it is absolutely packed with jaw dropping sites, monuments and artifacts. It's a place you will definitely not forget. Happy travels!
Scotland never fails to disappoint when it comes to scenery and history, and Inveraray is a fine example of this. Situated in the Argyll and Bute area of Scotland, Inveraray or Inbhir Aora as it's known in Gaelic is a unique little town that is hidden away with the closest town Garelochhead being about 14 miles away.
Home to around 650 people it is a small town, but with several landmarks and attractions, the beautiful jaw dropping scenery and the history it boasts of it is a hit with tourists and easy to see why.
The town was built in the 18th century and is described as "being one of the best examples of an 18th century new town in Scotland". The town consists of many shops, coffee shops and restaurants. It also has a few popular tourist attractions, which brings me to my main point:
For a small town Inveraray certainly has its fair share of things to keep you occupied.
Inveraray jail is probably the most popular attraction. Built as a 19th century prison and court house it was used as a prison from 1820 until 1889, and carried on as a court house until 1954. It has been converted into a museum now showing what the living conditions were like for it's prisoners, some as young as 7! It also tells you about individuals who were sent there and gives you an insight to their crimes and punishments. You can either get tickets for it online or at the door, buying online will save you a few bob. Prices are £9.50 for an adult, £5.85 for a child (under 5's go free), and £8.95 for senior citizens and students.
Inveraray castle is next on the list. The home of the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Clan Campbell the castle is open to tourists who wish to explore it. The castle has been around since the 1400's, but the iconic castle you see today was built in the 18th century. Visitors can explore the castle and the gardens, learn about the history of the castle and of Clan Campbell. Prices are £10 for adults, £9 for students and senior citizens and £7 for kids with under 5's going free.
The two above are the main attractions in Inveraray, but there is plenty to do in and around the area. Why not take in the scenery of the beauty that is Loch Fyne? The longest sea Loch in Scotland. The spectacular scenery overlooking the loch will leave you breathless. With several pubs, restaurants and shops you certainly won't be stuck for things to do.
When travelling around the Highlands of Scotland I always recommend taking a car to do it, there are just so many places that offer you beautiful views to not stop off at. If you aren't travelling by car then your next option is the bus. There are a number of buses that go to and from Inveraray from a number of places around Scotland. There isn't a train station within at least 10 miles of Inveraray so the train isn't really ideal.
There a good number of hotels and campsites located in and around Inveraray. There is also a caravan park and plenty of spots to wild camp at. If you are wild camping though remember and check the Scottish outdoor access code before you go.
If you're looking for places to visit in Scotland then Inveraray should definitely be up there on your list. With not only the town itself being something special, the drive to and from also offers you some of finest and stunning views in Scotland. If you have any questions or would like to tell us about your experience of Inveraray then please comment down below. Happy travels.
Glen Etive
February 9, 2017 February 9, 2017 Àndraa
As someone who travels through the Highlands of Scotland on a regular basis, I honestly cannot help myself but stop every single time I pass and gaze at the beauty that Glen Etive has on show. It truly is an amazing place.
Glen Etive or Gleann Èite (the Gaelic spelling) is a glen located in the Scottish Highlands. The name Etive is believed to mean "little ugly one" from the Gaelic goddess associated with Loch Etive, which would leave you to believe that those Scots back in the day had a cracking sense of humour as nothing could be further from the truth.
It became semi famous in 2012 after the James Bond film Skyfall filmed a scene there, that left a lot of viewers asking the question "where is that?". Moving from modern day blockbusters to ancient folklore now, the Fachen is also known as the dwarf of Glen Etive. This being a creature with half a body, a long black mane on it's back, a mouth extremely wide and having such a terrifying appearance that it's believed to induce heart attacks for those unlucky enough to see it. So er, try not to stumble across one if you can!
For those avid mountaineers and hill walkers, you're spoiled for choice at Glen Etive. There are several peaks all around that fill up your view, I've made a wee list below:
Buachaille Etive Mòr (1,022m)
Ben Starav (1,078m)
Meail a' Bhùiridh (1,108m)
Beinn Fhionnlaidh (959m)
Buachaille Etive Beag (958m)
Beinn Sgulaird (937m)
The river Etive which runs through is also a popular destination with kayakers. It is supposed to be one of the most challenging whitewater kayaking routes in the whole of Scotland. With grade 4 rapids, and a countless range of waterfalls and pools.
Travelling to Glen Etive can be easiest done by car. Approximately 11 miles to the southeast of Glencoe on the A82 is the road in and out of Glen Etive. It requires a good bit of concentration and observation skills though as it's very easy to miss, and I mean very easy to miss. If you're not travelling by car then your best bet is to get a bus to Glencoe and embark on good ole fashioned walking or cycling but with that being said it may take you a few hours, but surrounded by the beauty of the Highlands? I can't imagine a nicer walk.
There are cottages and campsites available in the area but luckily as "wild camping" is legal in Scotland if you're planning on camping then you can pretty much do it anywhere you like (within reason) make sure to check the Scottish outdoor association code below before you do though.

Whether you're visiting or just passing by, Glen Etive should be a place on your bucket list. A place you should stop and just take in and embrace the beauty in which the Scottish countryside has to offer.

THE RECTOR INTERVIEW 2014
The Rector Interview: Becoming leaders in Europe
Rector Dag Rune Olsen wants the University of Bergen (UiB) to be one of the leading universities in Europe.
Rector Dag Rune Olsen of the University of Bergen (UiB).
Eivind Senneset
By Jens Helleland ÅdnanesUpdated: 14.08.2014 (First published: 06.08.2014)
This article is a longer version of an interview from the UiB Magazine 2014/2015. You can download a PDF of the full magazine.
Professor Dag Rune Olsen, you have now been UiB rector for a year, can you tell us a little about your first year in the rector's chair?
"My first feeling is one of pride in our strong international orientation as an institution of research and higher education. This is clearly expressed in the numbers collected by the Research Council of Norway for co-publication, in which the University of Bergen ranks highly; not least because of our many collaborations in the United States and Canada – but also with a strong presence in many countries in Africa and Asia. In total, we have between 700 and 800 international agreements with universities and research institutions, and these invaluable collaborations will be even more strongly embedded in the new UiB strategy we are currently working on."
When you travel in your function as rector, what makes the most impression on you?
"Unfortunately I get to travel less as rector than I did previously for my own research work. Our Vice-Rector for International Affairs, Anne Christine Johannessen, gets to do most of the travelling. Quite naturally, of course. But I was in Cape Town for the annual general meeting of Worldwide Universities Network (WUN), an outstanding example of our international outreach. Cape Town was a city of contrasts. Along with the other members of the WUN Presidents Forum, I got to visit a wonderful vineyard, whilst discussing future challenges with them. On the other hand, we were shown some of the informal settlements in the city. It was fascinating to see wealth and extreme poverty in such proximity. It brings the social differences straight to you and makes you pause to think."
You mention the WUN collaborations, and we also have an extensive institutional partnership with Makerere University in Uganda. What do these research and education partnerships mean for UiB?
"I am interested in science diplomacy, and as a rich institution in a democratic part of the world, I believe we at UiB have a special responsibility to promote academic freedom worldwide. I believe that science can create dialogue across borders. This dialogue is particularly important in times of crisis and can help improve diplomatic relations between nation states. Academia has an extremely important task in creating openness and inclusion."
Despite travelling less now than before you became rector, you probably still entertain quite a few global guests. What about UiB would you most like to stress to your guests?
"For me it is most important to get across our values of tolerance and inclusion, and also what we have to offer our international visitors. I often refer to our many excellent research and education groups. When I meet colleagues from other universities, I always signal that we would love to exchange students with them and that we are delighted to have more international students at UiB."
What do you feel is the general impression of UiB internationally?
"UiB is associated with the rich nation of Norway. I also find that people view us as an open-minded and medium-sized university with an international outlook. Some express concern about the weather and believe that we have snow all year long (laughs), but then I will usually show them a photo I keep on my mobile phone, which shows cherry blossoms in January! Bergen certainly isn't as wintery as some people may believe."
Are there any research environments you think have made particular headway internationally in your first year as rector?
"First, I need to point out that there are way too many research groups making their mark internationally for me to mention in a sentence or two. But if I have to pick one group, I would have to say that our climate researchers are in a unique position. They have clearly positioned themselves well internationally and regularly publish articles in renowned journals. They are also good at communicating their research, both to the general public and decision-makers. This means that they are having an impact in the public debate. Take their participation in the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They represent excellent research and present problems that go right to the core of one of the major issues of our age."
Fronted by researchers on this level, what are UiB's ambitions for the forthcoming years?
"We want to become one of Europe's leading universities and to be at the very top in the Nordic region. We are also ambitious in our outreach to the local and regional community that we are part of – our hinterland. If we are to achieve these ambitions, we need to be able to recruit the best researchers and students and foster their development. We need to have in place good collaborations with global research institutions, but also to maintain good relations with Norway's public sector and local arts and businesses. This duality between local and international, between public and private sector, has always been a trademark of UiB."
Horizon 2020 is the EU's new research framework programme. How ambitious does UiB want to be about the Horizon 2020 process?
"Horizon 2020 enables us to meet our own research ambitions. This requires good relations with international actors and is an incentive for further international collaboration. The EU's desire for sustainable innovations fits hand in glove with our own research ambitions. Also, we are already good at interdisciplinary research, with researchers who are working on global challenges, such as climate change, public health and better use of natural resources, to name but a few. This interdisciplinarity is very much in demand in Horizon 2020."
How will UiB help researchers when competing for funds?
"We have appointed a task force, who help and encourage prospective applicants with their proposals. This has no direct impact on the research itself, but we want the applications to be top-notch. This also works as invaluable practice for the researchers themselves, teaching them budgeting and project planning. So the process in itself is raising standards among our researchers."
There are around 14,000 students at UiB, of whom 1,500 are international students. How do you stay in touch with all the students at UiB?
"On the last Friday of every month I have been inviting anyone who wanted to chat with me to meet me at the Student Centre. In the study year 2014/2015, I want to move this closer to where the students are. I now will meet them directly at their faculties, still on a monthly basis, but moving between the faculties. Like before, this is intended as a very informal, drop-by session, where I will gladly answer any question. I believe it's important to have this type of open dialogue on all levels, both with students and staff. I'm not sure if this is unique, but I enjoy it. It's fun discussing issues with the students – I find them to be open, honest and direct. And inquisitive. I don't want to lead from behind my desk. I want to interact with all those who have elected me as their rector."
