The only thing worse than project testing is test planning.
The combo of a cold with test planning this week had left me feeling really drained, when all of a sudden the IT guys got all their knickers in a twist over a data problem and asked me for an urgent business consult after lunch today.
Once I got to the root of the problem it all fell into place nicely and we have a working solution to develop next week, but more importantly the brainstorming has left me feeling reenergised.
What a great feeling to leave the office with on a Friday!
No amount of caffeine could give me this kind of rush!!!
I really like to be challenged by my job and it makes me remember why I turn up in the mornings!
I feel the need to write down some of my thoughts for my friends to read, without putting an essay on Facebook. Hence it is time I went back to my blog.
I had intended to write about the technical trials and tribulations of relocating Down Under and what that meant with regard to internet access, email, gaming, websites, TV, mobile phones etc... Well it turns out that I couldn't be bothered! No idea why, since that stuff used to rock my boat!
So this is more of a general commentary on our progress so far with surviving emigrating.
We are 5 months in now and have leapt through most of the hoops you would expect, such as accommodation, schooling and jobs and I won't say it was painless, but the outcomes have been favourable and tolerable.
What surprises me the most though is how comfortable it all feels. I am sitting here 26 floors above central Sydney with a killer commute every day. I have bought an Apple product to help pass the time. I struggle at night and weekends with substandard broadband performance, I hardly watch any Australian TV, the local sport is pretty rubbish, it's winter time and I haven't really had chance to make any new friends. Yet I am content and happy.
It helps that Lauren and Jocey are enjoying life down here. Lauren particularly has fitted in well to her new school and Jocey is growing up normally. They clearly miss their grandparents, whom we Skype every weekend, and Lauren talks about life in the UK occasionally, but not in a way that suggests that she misses it.
Lauren's accent may be the death of me though! Talk about killing Queens English! I cringe every time her T's become D's! I am looking forward to my Mum's response to that in November!!!!!!
We are buying a house. It is not what I expected or pre-planned in my mind before we emigrated, but it most definitely feels right. The fact that every indication is that internet connectivity at the new place will be worse than I am getting now, doesn't change my mind! The fact that we can't afford the dream house or the pool straight away doesn't seem to matter either. However the plot of land is a killer... It got under my skin. There are aspects of the plot that scare me, but only in a good way. They pose problems that intrigue me, but I know that in the short term I can just pay them to go away and sort them out properly in 2-5 years time.
In reality I suspect it will be 5-10 years before the house is "finished" close to the ideas in mine and Serena's heads, but then I don't think we really know what all those ideas are yet! We'll plan and build a home on the site of the current house in the next couple of years, but the landscaping, granny flat, pool, kitchen garden, stables(?), orchard, hot tub etc will all come along later once we have lived with it a bit and watched the kids grow up! All those years of watching Grand Designs on Channel 4 are coming back to haunt me!
So where does that leave me? Well at the moment I have 3 things on my mind.
1/ Work is turning a bit dull as we move into the Test Phase of the project... Still it will all be over by November and the pay is good.
2/ Money! It was all OK before we decided to buy the house. Now it has been stressing me out a little as the costs associated with the mortgage etc are currently unknown numbers. They'll firm up in the next few weeks, but for now they are bugging me!
3/ Level 80! My World of Warcraft Paladin made it to Level 65 last night. I can smell Level 80 now, and I don't know why, but I am really enjoying levelling up a character for the first time in years! It had all become such a grind, but the end game is in my sites and I really want to get another character there.
So when / what will I blog next? Who knows?
Weeeee.... Mobile Broadband for the Win!
5 GB data package and a Dongle Modem for the tidy sum on A$150 (about £90 at the current rubbish exchange rate).
TV so far is rubbish though!
Still the beach was nice today and the temperature is forecast to sit at 28°C for the rest of the week.
Just bought £10 worth of Skype Credit and phoned my Mum to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. She was chuffed, as was I at the minuscule price and tiny amount of data that it took. I then spent 10 minutes skyping my Dad properly to sort out his email issues after convincing him that it would be easier to do it with his computer turned on. Some things never change!
Think of this page as being pregnant!
The blog will be reborn again soon!
Back in a couple of weeks… Still on Facebook via mobile though!
16 minutes long… So get comfy first!

Glasgow company fined £90,000 as ICO tackles nuisance calls
Article added: 20/03/2013
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has issued a fine of £90,000 to a company that has blighted the public with thousands of unwanted marketing calls.
DM Design, based in Glasgow, has been the subject of nearly 2,000 complaints to the ICO and the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). The company consistently failed to check whether individuals had opted out of receiving marketing calls – in clear breach of the law - and responded to just a handful of the complaints received.
In one instance an employee refused to remove a complainant's details from the company's system and instead threatened to "continue to call at more inconvenient times like Sunday lunchtime".
The fine is the first the ICO has issued for a serious breach of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) relating to live marketing calls. This latest fine comes after the joint owners of a company, which was responsible for sending hundreds of thousands of spam texts, received penalties totalling £440,000 in November last year.
The ICO has informed two more companies that it is intending to impose significant penalties over breaches of the law, with a final decision likely in the coming weeks. A further ten companies are subject to ongoing investigation for cold-calling and sending spam text messages.
Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, said:
"Today's action sends out a clear message to the marketing industry that this menace will not be tolerated. This company showed a clear disregard for the law and a lamentable attitude toward the people whose day they were disturbing. This is not good enough.
"This fine will not be an isolated penalty. We know other companies are showing a similar disregard for the law and we've every intention of taking further enforcement action against companies that continue to bombard people with unlawful marketing texts and calls.
"All of this work has been made possible thanks to the information we are receiving from the public, which has assisted our investigation team in identifying the companies making these calls."
The ICO and OFCOM, who are responsible for regulating silent calls, have made it clear that companies must comply with the legal and regulatory measures in place. Failure to do so will lead to enforcement action, with the ICO able to issue penalties of up to £500,000 for serious breaches of the PECR, and OFCOM having the power to issue penalties of up to £2,000,000 over breaches of rules linked to abandoned and silent calls.

Each spring and summer, most people look forward to the warmer temperatures, extra time to spend outside, and more opportunities for vacations. One aspect of this season that isn't very appealing, though, is the increased number of flying insects around. Some of the worst flying insects to deal with on your property are stinging insects like bees and wasps. Here are the most common types of bees and wasps that are known to nest in or around homes.
The paper wasp is an insect that is approximately an inch long. This wasp is black and yellow or brown with black wings. Paper wasps are named after the characteristic nest that they make from plant material, resembling bits of paper. A paper wasp nest first appears as tiny tubes joined together. If the nest continues to expand, it could grow rather large. As it grows, it will take on a rounder shape along the area where it began. Paper wasps can be territorial and have a painful sting, so their nests should only be removed by a professional.
Yellowjackets look similar to paper wasps, but they are significantly smaller. Usually, yellow jackets nest in the ground, but they have been known to build their nests in walls or up in hidden points in attics. Their nests may appear as a series of shaped tubes joined together. It's important to not attempt to remove a yellow jacket's nest by yourself, as these wasps can sting multiple times, which could trigger anaphylaxis in someone who is severely allergic.
Another common flying insect that homeowners see in the late spring or early summer are carpenter bees. This type of bee looks like a large bumblebee, with a black body and a yellow thorax. While in most cases these bees aren't aggressive enough to sting people, they can cause damage to wood surfaces around your home. This may lead to structural damage due to the bees constantly boring holes for nesting. If you spot these large bees hovering around your home, it may be time to call a company specializing in Pest & Termite Services for help.
The next type of bee that is sometimes found on or in a property is the honey bee. This is the same bee that is often seen on flowers and lawns once the weather gets hot. Sometimes, honey bees get confused and start nesting in the walls of a home. When a honey bee nest is found, your pest services professional can take steps to safely remove the nest.
The last common wasp that you may find nesting around your property is a mud dauber. This is a wasp that uses mud to create a nest that resembles a series of tunnels. They often will make nests along tight spots, like next to a window or against the roof of your home. Like most other wasp species, it's best to exercise caution when approaching these insects, as they could be territorial and dangerous.
If your home has a bee or wasp problem, avoid trying to remove nests by yourself. Instead, call a licensed professional to help rid your property of these nuisances.

With more than 25,000 stores in 75 countries and $21 billion in annual revenues, Starbucks is the largest roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world. Howard Schultz's strategic leadership was critical in turning Starbucks around. He is now hoping that his second retirement from the company he built from the ground up will be his final one. In the meantime, Kevin Johnson, the new CEO, faces several challenges. In particular, the question of maintaining core competencies and how to achieve future growth, both domestically and internationally, are central to the case. The case also focuses on diversification, as Starbucks is branching out in new areas such as menu extensions including offering alcohol as well as rolling out coffee bars with high-end offerings such as a $12 cup of coffee.

7 Haunted Places to Stay in the U.S.
Whether you like to stay in hotels, inns, or a bed and breakfast (BNB), as you travel the U.S., you can find plenty of haunted places to stay. The next time you head out on a haunted road trip, consider staying at some of the most haunted lodgings in America.
If you're filling out your paranormal bucket list and you love to travel, each of these places to stay are some of America's most haunted lodgings.
Charleston's most haunted inn, the Battery Carriage House boasts a cast of ghosts, especially in rooms 8 and 10. Here's your chance to see a headless torso, the Gentleman Ghost, and a multitude of others.
The Mason House Inn was built to accommodate Des Moines River steamboat travelers. It also served as an underground railroad station for runaway slaves.
The Shanley Hotel is reportedly the site of many paranormal occurrences, including apparitions, disembodied voices, and moving objects. The old bordello is supposedly the most haunted place in the entire location.
The Stanley Hotel is best known as the inspiration for Stephen King's book, The Shining, and it was used for the filming of two TV versions of the book. Reports of ghostly activity include visits from the now deceased owners, F.O. and Flora Stanley. It's rumored that Flora occasionally plays the piano in the middle of the night, but the playing stops as soon as someone enters the room. The old servants' quarters located on the fourth floor are said to be the hub of paranormal activity. Many guests and staff report hearing children at play, but no one ever sees them.
As you explore the Farnsworth House Inn's various documented hauntings, you'll understand why the Travel Channel ranked this historical house as one of the most haunted inns in America. Rene Staub, Fransworth's Director of Marketing & Promotions, revealed in an interview that, "The Farnsworth House Inn has no less than 14 spirits. The pain and suffering of soldiers and civilians left an imprint. Over 100 bullet holes bear mute testimony to that fact."
Staub added, "The spirits walk our halls, grieving over a lost son, untying shoelaces, or making other playful gestures." These common occurrences increase your chances for a ghostly encounter during your stay, and Staub advised that guests should be prepared for the unexpected.
Surrounded by tales of murder, the Myrtles Plantation located in St. Francisville, Louisiana seems like the perfect place for a haunting. Once a family home, the Myrtles is now a bed and breakfast.
The Myrtles has been the target of numerous paranormal investigations. Most of the haunting activity is centered around the story of a slave servant named Chloe whose ear was lopped off for eavesdropping. In revenge against the owners, she poisoned a cake with oleander leaves and served it to the family. The wife and children of the plantation owner ate the cake, became ill and died. Chloe was subsequently hung in the courtyard. Interestingly, many historians dispute the entire story, and there is little more than anecdotal evidence to support it. Still, there is a photo that supposedly shows Chloe's spirit standing outside of the house.
The Myrtles staff offers historical tours as well as mystery tours.
Not everyone has the opportunity to hook up with paranormal investigators and go on a ghost hunt, but finding haunted hotels and inns to visit and pass the night in can be the next best thing. Unfortunately, spirits rarely show up on command, and many visitors spend uneventful evenings in these places while other guests can't make it through the entire night. Still, all of these hotels and inns have strong reputations for being haunted, and they may just offer your best chance of having a true paranormal experience.

Iranian doctors turn kitchens into surgeries to treat maimed protesters
As night falls across Iran, the homes of doctors fill with injured protesters and kitchens are turned into surgeries to treat gun shot wounds and broken bones.
"I removed nine bullets from an 18-year-old boy," said one doctor, speaking anonymously for fear of reprisal. With the internet controlled by the Tehran regime, meeting foreign journalists has become more dangerous since protests began over the death a month ago of Mahsa Amini, 22, in the custody of the Islamic Republic's morality police.
As the state uses violence to suppress demonstrations, those protesters who need medical treatment have few options. There have been reports of ambulances taking the wounded to police stations, not hospitals. Doctors are violently arrested if they are caught treating demonstrators and intelligence officers make a note of injured protesters who go to hospitals, arresting them later.
As a result, many doctors finish their hospital shifts and then treat protesters in their homes after dark. Shotguns were the most commonly used weapon, said the doctor in northwest Tehran who treated the 18-year-old. Some wounds are so deep that they were evidently fired at close range.
"Shotguns are being used in the worst possible way by police officers and plainclothes forces," he said. "It is as if they are untrained, or intent on increasing the number of casualties . . . sometimes they are just firing aimlessly at the crowd."
One patient was shot in his home for videoing protests from his window. Pictures from Human Rights Activists in Iran, which is based in America, showed that a bullet had lodged millimetres from his eye. "The number of the dead are growing by the day," said Skylar Thompson, an advocacy officer for the group. "Under no means is the lethal use of force against civilian protesters acceptable. The videos we are seeing come out of Iran — it looks like hunting season. These officials have no regard for human life."
Some doctors struggle to treat life-threatening injuries in their homes. Many young people refuse to go to a hospital when it could result in them languishing in a jail cell.
"I had a call about someone who had severe bleeding and was haemorrhaging because a bullet had hit vital organs," one doctor said. "I told them to get him to a hospital. Even if he is arrested he might have a better chance of living. [Otherwise] this person probably will not even last an hour or two."
The protests, which entered a fifth week yesterday, began with women publicly burning their headscarves and cutting their hair but have turned into mass demonstrations in towns, cities and campuses nationwide. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has accused Iran's foes of fomenting the "riots". In remarks on state TV he compared the Islamic Republic to an unshakeable tree, adding: "No one should dare think they can uproot it."
The Islamic regime has long created splits within the population of 84 million, trying to ensure that there has been no common cause for people to revolt against.
An accident and emergency doctor in the centre of Tehran told The Times that most injured protesters did not dare enter public hospitals but that private ones were less closely watched by intelligence officers and some who could afford private treatment were taking the risk. Even there, however, doctors suspect that hospital owners are under pressure to collude with the regime. The crackdown has been most brutal in Iranian Kurdistan, where the protests over Amini's death began.
Hengaw, a human rights group, said a doctor from Amini's home town of Saqez, who had been treating injured protesters, was violently detained by plainclothes security forces on Monday. His whereabouts are unknown.
With many choosing to try to self-treat their injuries, doctors inside Iran and abroad have been flooded with requests for advice, a task hampered by internet outages imposed on the country. Some have taken to sharing the messages they receive on Instagram where protesters are shown badly beaten, some with fractured skulls.

Easy Fudgy Brownies (Dairy and Gluten Free)
I officially have one more month of maternity leave left. A big part of me is excited to go back to the office and be around other adults -- to wear real clothes and eat lunch in relative peace. The other part of me is, of course, worried I'll be sad to leave Frances and the reliable and awfully sweet domestic routine we've established together: Walking the neighborhood looking at spring flowers and early morning chai and mat time. This past month Frances has become more wakeful and alert; she spends more time playing in her little chair and even laughed for the first time! But this increased wakefulness has also meant much less snoozing time and more fussing, which can often make for a pretty long day. I remember while I was home with Oliver a few years ago feeling a heightened sense of anxiety with each tough moment, as if the current state of things would be a permanent part of our reality. Baby doesn't stop crying from 5 - 6pm? Clearly you'll never have a quiet dinner again. Baby's now waking up three times each night. You''ll likely never sleep again. Of course now we have the perspective to know that Oliver is pretty decent evening company and sleeps through the night just fine -- most kids do, eventually. If one thing's a guarantee about parenthood, it's that nothing remains the same.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten and Dairy Free)
Almost two months into maternity leave and Frances and I are finding a groove. I feed her in the morning before anyone else is up and we head downstairs where she sits in her funny little seat on the kitchen floor while I make tea and figure out what to lay out for Oliver's breakfast. The rest of the day fluctuates between me wearing her in a carrier while she naps, taking walks around the neighborhood or playing during the brief window she's awake. After dinner when I think back on what we did during the day, it's hard to name specifics -- yet somehow time ticks on all the same. Knowing that Frances is our last baby has helped me accept this dramatic slow down in pace more readily than I ever could with Oliver. That and the perspective that the pace picks up quickly enough and these slower days will be gone in a blink.
Meet Frances
Friends. It's been awhile. But baby Frances is here so there hasn't been much free time to sit down and write. She's here, she's here! After what felt like a verrrry long pregnancy, Frances arrived one day before her due date at a little before 9 am on a cold but unusually sunny late January morning. Those of you who have been readers for awhile may remember that our son Oliver was born completely bald and remained that way for almost two years (!) but sweet Frances has a full head of hair, a hefty appetite, and loves to rock n' roll from around 8 pm until at least midnight.

Q: c# selenium hide Internet Explorer browser window I'm using selenium with c# and I would like to hide the internet explorer browser window. As far as I understood IE does not support headless browser.
For the particular case I'm working on, IE is the fastest browser, since I'm accessing internal company webpage.
Can you help me out?

A: I had the same problem and I'm happy to help you out.
I am still looking for a solution to start IE headless but with the minimized version I could also help myself.
here an idea:
IWebDriver webDriver;

public void StackTest()
{
   webDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
   webDriver.Manage().Window.Minimize();
}

as a little tip I recommend to keep IE waiting until everything is loaded:
webDriver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60);

Rhetoric is the art of effective speaking or writing, especially using figures of speech and other compositional techniques to inform, persuade, or motivate a particular audience in a specific situation. Skills for rhetoric revolve around the effectiveness of language including its emotional impact (pathos), its logical content (logos), and its credibility (ethos). A basic premise for rhetoric is that how one says something conveys meaning as much as what one says. Think of the words used by the great writers, preachers, and statesmen throughout history to instruct, inspire, and influence.
From Ancient Greece to the late 19th century, rhetoric was a central part of Western education. Since then, it would seem that the dumbing down of the school system has resulted in rhetoric virtually becoming a lost art. Nowadays, persuasive writing and argumentative speech is mostly limited to English papers, literary criticism, and debate classes. While in the public arena, impassioned speakers often resort to name-calling and insults rather than intelligent discourse. Training in rhetorical skills will set students apart with distinguished written and oral abilities, and may help us to regain some of the intellectual and spiritual high ground in a deteriorating culture.
This 34-week course helps high school students develop the skills necessary to communicate more powerfully through writing and to articulate their thoughts clearly.
Develop creative writing skills including descriptive writing, poetry, and short stories.
Cultivate the use of expository writing including research papers, analytical essays, problem-solution writing, and firsthand accounts.
Learn the art of public speaking, including persuasive speeches, informative speeches, debates, and more.
This course includes basic grammar and writing composition, the writing of numerous academic essays, several public speaking presentations, and an extensive research paper. It counts for one credit of writing and one credit of speech.
Comprehensive and reasonably priced, this course is a good choice for college-bound students. The author says it's for junior high grades 7-9, but unless they're really advanced, we'd recommend it for senior high grades 9-12 instead. The curriculum is suitable for use by individual homeschoolers, small homeschool co-ops, and private schools.
This is a Christian-based course. Dr. Stobaugh weaves biblical concepts, readings, and applications throughout the curriculum. He wants this course to be not just an English class, but also a means to help equip students to stand firm in their faith and be prepared to actively participate in apologetics.

2012–13 BeNe League
The 2012–13 season of the Women's BeNe League was the first season of the Belgium and the Netherlands' women's football top level league. Since this was the first season, the league had no reigning champion, although both countries had reigning champions from their former top leagues—Standard Liège in Belgium and ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands. The season started on 24 August 2012. The championship was won by FC Twente.
The 2013–14 season of the Women's BeNe League is the second season of the Belgium and Netherlands' women's football top level league. The defending champion is FC Twente. The season started on 30 August 2013 and is played in a single division contrary to last season.
Originally planned as a 16 team league, one team withdrew before the season and another one withdrew during the season. Thus 14 teams made the final standings.
With six matches to spare Standard Liège already was set as the best placed Belgian side. The league was won by Twente for the second time in a row.
The 2014–15 BeNe League was the third and last season of the Belgium and Netherlands' women's football top level league. The defending champion was FC Twente. The season started on 29 August 2014 and was played in a single division. The season finished on 8 May 2015.
Following this season, Belgium and the Netherlands will have their own top level league again. The BeNe League initiative was ended because Dutch clubs and the Dutch FA failed to come to an agreement regarding the clubs' financial participation for the following seasons. The Dutch FA also questioned the lack of competitiveness.After the season, the Netherlands revived the Eredivisie as top league and Belgium created a new Super League.

The mini-series features the bloody history of the House of Batiatus and the city of Capua before the arrival of Spartacus. Quintus Lentulus Batiatus becomes a lanista (manager) when he takes over his father's ludus of gladiators. He has ambitions of stepping out of his father's shadow by seeking recognition for his own name and achieving further greatness for his house. By his side stands his beautiful wife Lucretia who will help her husband achieve his ambitions, whatever the cost. Batiatus puts all his fortunes on the man who will gain him fame and glory. That would be his best gladiator, the Celt, Gannicus, a skilled warrior who wields dual swords with deadly purpose. Those who oppose Batiatus and his future champion(s) of Capua do so at their own peril.
Purchased as an undisciplined and disheveled recruit in the first episode, Crixus the Gaul endures mockery and threats of death to become the champion after Gannicus. As Batiatus fends off repeated attempts by his professional rival Tullius to obtain Gannicus, his relationships with his father Titus and friend Solonius begin to suffer the strain of his relentless ambition. Former champion, Oenomaus, reluctantly becomes Doctore, while Syrian recruits Ashur and Dagan try to prove themselves worthy of being gladiators. Veteran gladiators Barca and Gannicus note the rising star of Crixus, as the machinations of Batiatus and Lucretia end in tragedy for several members of the household. Against all of this, the city's splendid new arena nears completion and with it the opening games that will make slaves into gods. When the arena opens, Batiatus' gladiators prevail in the contest. Gannicus again proves himself to be the champion of Capua and a god of the arena. By virtue of his win against Solonius' gladiators, he gains his freedom and Crixus becomes the new champion.

Matthew Meselson on Science and Writing
Oral History -> James D. Watson -> Writer -> Matthew Meselson on Science and Writing
Science and Writing (Matthew Meselson)
Matthew Meselson Biography
Recorded: 17 Jul 2002
Al Hershey's papers, maybe they were well written from some points of view, but they were not easy to understand. Barbara McClintock's papers, again maybe they were grammatically excellent, but they were not easy to understand. So, yes, I do think it's very important. I think I learned how to write from Linus and from Jean Weigel, who was very careful about how to write.
Mila Pollock: Do you remember Jim's papers?
Yeah, sure….they're very clearly written. He hasn't written that many papers and each one is very carefully written.
Matthew Meselson earned his Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago in 1951 and from the California Institute of Technology in 1957 under the tutelage of Linus Pauling.
In 1958 with Frank Stahl, Meselson experimentally showed the semi-conservative mechanism of DNA replication as predicted by Watson and Crick.
He is currently the Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences in Harvard University's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. His laboratory studies sexual reproduction and genetic recombination, and how and why they are maintained in evolution.
Since 1963 Meselson has been interested in chemical and biological defense and arms control, has served as a consultant on this subject to various government agencies and is a member of the Committee on International Security and Arms Control of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
Meselson has received the Award in Molecular Biology from the National Academy of Sciences, the Public Service Award of the Federation of American Scientists, the Presidential Award of the New York Academy of Sciences, the Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, and the 1995 Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal of the Genetics Society of America. Dr. Meselson is presently a member of the Committee on International Security and Arms Control of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

The First Adam was created by Elohim on the sixth day of creation. Gen 1.27: Thus, Elohim created the human [Adam] in his own image, in the image of Elohim created He him, male and female created He them.
We call the First Adam also God Child – mankind's single, divine self.
The First Adam compares to the Second Adam and Ultimate Adam.

the beach of Microtel Palawan is itself a tourist spot because of the mangroves in its beach line. since the hotel is facing East, the sunrise will come right infront of this beach. so i set the alarm to 4:30am.
woke up that early with an all dark view from our veranda. along with ironwulf, we headed towards the beach which was just a short walk away from the hotel. in fact it's just right infront of the structure.
good that most of the time, the beach front is at low tide. this gave us flexibility to set up our tripods over the fine sand beach and move to some good spot. we didn't wait too long as the horizon was turning dark blue.
waking up that early didn't disappoint us. with the mangrove trees as silhouette, you won't find a hard time finding your favorite spot. indeed a picture perfect beach under a beautiful sunrise what more by day.
these mangroves kept well the treasures of a good shoreline adding to the fact that three quarters of tropical shorelines around the world are dominated by mangroves. this makes this beach still look exotic.
you won't end up visiting some of the great spots around the resort. among the best spots are the areas where a small amount of water is trapped during low tide. plus the outdoor pool just right beside the dining area and on the other side the beach.
during the weekend when we were there, the hotel was fully booked yet i didn't feel that the place was crowded. match this great view with the hammocks and you'll love it here. if you'll like the hotel by night, much more by day.
for those interested, it is highly recommended that you book ahead as Microtel Palawan has no off peak season as it is usually spared from the typhoons.
as always, beautiful documentation of your trips.
Wow, you took great shots! Lalo na yung third photo. I shall visit Palawan. Philippines really has a lot to offer.
Wow very interesting to see the island in different times. Love the night scene of the island.
this set is simply postcard-perfect. dom. galing! one of my favorites among your posts.
how's the price for staying here? really love to see this place even if i don't get to stay here.
amazing, a microtel branch right where nature is. ang galing..
wow! i just love all the pics here kuya dong! pinabilib mo ko ng sobra. hands down na ko sayo. hehe.
parang naimagine ko yung progression nung mula sa madilim tapos pasikat na yung araw tapos yan umaga na and mas nagiging visible na ang mga bagay-bagy....and the pool with the mangroves around/beside it....kakaiba yan.
Another amazing place. Really beautiful evening shots.
I'm fond of sunrises and the anticipation of another great day in a different land. The third shot really is captivating!
Really a nice series. The third and fourth pictures are so fascinating.
Such a good morning. Thank you.
best photos man.. you nailed it again..
Great shots! i love especially the sand pattens, parang desert! It's good not any plastic rubbish was visible. In other mangrove areas of the country, tutulo luha mo sa hinayang!
ganda ng shots ever kahit pa umaga or gabi. you're right! dapat makapag-pa book na this early..sana..
whoa. master dom ang dating. ang ganda.

Federal survey: CO is number 1 for youth pot use
By: Jennifer Lee Kovaleski
Colorado youth use pot more than anyone else in the entire country, according to recent findings of a new federal survey.
The Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) analyzed the findings that found Colorado is now ranked number one in the country for youth pot use.
"The fact that Colorado is now number one in the nation across the board, people need to step back and look at that," said Chelsey Clarke, Intelligence Analyst with Rocky Mountain HIDTA.
Clarke also said in the last two years (2013/2014), the new data shows youth pot use is up by more than 20 percent in Colorado when compared to the same two-year average prior to legalization (2011/2012).
"If you look at the data... you can't ignore, Colorado use has been trending up for the past several years," she said.
However, marijuana advocacy groups argue those numbers are misleading.
"The statistics are clear that the rate of teen marijuana use has not increased," said Mason Tvert with the Marijuana Policy Project.
Tvert said when looking at year-to-year averages, youth pot use has not increased.
"Multiple state and federal surveys have shown that marijuana use among teens has not increased, and in fact there are surveys with much larger sample sizes that show that it's actually trending downward," said Tvert.
But Clarke disagreed.
"If you're looking at year-to-year, maybe you can say that -- but we're looking at the trends that the data is showing," she said.
Clarke noted Rocky Mountain HIDTA summarized federal data from the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) and found significant trends in Colorado.
"The fact that youth went from number four in the nation to number one in the nation and that we're 74 percent higher than the rest of the nation for our youth [in the] past month... is extremely alarming," said Clarke.
"Is it part of the fact that people are more willing to say they smoke marijuana in Colorado because it's legal versus in other states where it is illegal still?" asked Denver 7's Jennifer Kovaleski.
"I think it's always illegal for youth so if you're gonna [sic] base that on if they're gonna [sic] talk or not, that hasn't changed," responded Clarke.
Rocky Mountain HIDTA's also found that the latest 2013/2014 results show Colorado college-age adults rank number one in the nation for past month marijuana use, up from number three in 2011/2012.
Rocky Mountain HIDTA is a federal funded grant program that's a part of the national drug control and policy of the White House.

Your car tyres are the only single link to the surface of the road. Therefore, it does not matter whether you have a car that has a powerful engine and a sophisticated transmission if you have subpar tyres. However, most people find it difficult to find the best ones for their car.
If you have the answers to the two questions, any tyre shop can help you to determine your needs before you make a purchase. Ensure that you communicate to a salesperson in a shop who has a reputation for helping clients with the right answers. Based on the questions you ask, you will get the right tyres based on some factors like the tread life, driving conditions, handling and ride.
How long should a set of tyres last? When asking this question, you should keep in mind that in some instances the lifespan is not exact. This is because the wear and tear of a tyre is tested by a manufacturer and it may not be accurate. To know it lifespan, look at the UTQG rating. Tyres are graded and labelled to establish the correct traction, tread wear and temperature resistance. This is a law which manufacturers follow, and they indicate the comparisons between a control tyre and a tested tyre.
Which are the best tyres to use in wet weather? Most people around Europe live in a climate where the weather is wet and cold at one time during the year. Therefore, if you live in such a place, you will want to focus on purchasing ones that are capable of coping in wet weather. If you do not choose an all-out snow set of tyres to use during winter, swap for a set of standard to use during the milder months. Also see in this post the difference between wet and dry tyres.
Which speed rating should you choose? If you live in an area where the speed limit is below 100 KPH, why would you consider purchasing tyres that are speed rated for speeds higher than 200KPH? You should be honest with yourself and choose ones that are speed rated at normal speeds. A good and standard speed rating you can consider is the H rated. These tyres can withstand speeds of more than 150KPH. You will not spend a lot of money and most likely not note the difference when driving. It is important to choose the best speed rating to maintain speed while you drive fast. If you own a normal street car, you can choose the V-rated tyres unless you want to drive at speeds higher than 200KPH. What you should remember is that the tyres with high-speed rating are manufactured using softer rubber which means that the tyre has a shorter tread life, and it will most likely have a low lifespan in the real world.
Which ride quality tyres do you need? A car that has low-profile tyres, for instance, a 40 or 50-series looks beautiful and sporty, but this feature can be harsh to the car over potholes and bumps. Ideally, you should choose a 60 or 55. Low profile tyres are prone to damage. However, they have stiff sidewalls which can improve the handling of your vehicle.
Should you purchase tyres that are noisy? Some of the tread designs produce a louder noise than others; this depends on the tread design and the tyre brand. If you drive in the city streets, then this may not be a major factor. But if you drive on the highway, you will need to consider this feature especially if you drive an SUV. You can get tyres that are quiet. It is good to note that some tyres of the same make but in different lines will also vary in the road noise.
Choosing the right set involves a number of considerations. Talking to a salesman about your needs will help you increase your driving experience by getting the best tyres that have a longer lifespan. Remember to choose those that are manufactured using recent technology. Great tyres can make your less-than-fantastic car look great.

Is the League of Democracies a Bad Idea? How Europe should Respond
CEPS Policy Brief No. 162, May 2008
6 Pages Posted: 28 Jan 2009
See all articles by Michael Emerson
The idea of an official organisation of democratic states wishing to promote democracy worldwide has surfaced periodically in recent years. In 2000 the Community of Democracies was inaugurated and survives as a body committed to supporting democratic change. Now the notion is gaining further currency. US Presidential candidate John McCain has advocated a League of Democracies. And analyst Robert Kagan, an advisor to McCain, has recently made a contribution on the subject. This paper by CEPS Senior Fellow Michael Emerson and Associate Senior Fellow Richard Youngs argues against a new organisation, but does advocate a serious concertation among relevant existing international organisations and seriously interested national governments to move pro-actively for democratic progress worldwide.

Memphis announcer, promoter, Corey Maclin dies in car crash
Posted by Greg Oliver | Jul 31, 2013
Corey Maclin, a former Memphis TV announcer, promoter, and occasional wrestler, died last night in a car crash.
According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the accident took place around 10:30 Tuesday night in Panola County, which is directly south of Memphis, Tennessee. The car rolled over on Interstate 55.
Corey Maclin
Maclin was married to Carmela Sykes-Maclin for more than two decades and the couple have six children.
His involvement in the Memphis wrestling scene is long and impassioned.
Macklin was an announcer on TV — a spinoff from his duties as a sports anchor on an ABC affiliate, as well as a promoter. He worked alongside Dave Brown on WMC-TV for 13 years on Memphis Wrestling. On occasion, he wrestled.
In a 1998 interview with Sarah Gregory of the Memphis Dateline, Maclin addressed the appeal of pro wrestling in his eyes: "I think it's just great entertainment — with the smoke and fireworks, and all of that. It's such a big production; something the whole family can enjoy, like basketball or football."
The son of Jerry and Everlena Maclin, Corey was the fifth of six children, growing up in Shelby County. He credited his secondary education at Millington Central High School for the beginnings of his skills in public speaking, announcing and community involvement.
In 2010, Maclin tried his hand at politics, running as the Democratic candidate for Shelby County Court Clerk; he was defeated by Republican Wayne Mashburn.
His first job in the media was as a part-time DJ with KFTH 107.1 FM, later becoming a full-time radio announcer six nights a week while still in high school. At 18, he was named program and news director at WLOK radio.
Later, Maclin sold advertising for Silver Star news, and started his own ad firm, Corey Maclin and Associates in 1997.
Maclin's name received a lot of publicity in 2010 when Jerry Lawler sued Maclin for creating DVDs, Classic Memphis Wrestling, which Lawler alleged Maclin had no right to the footage. Lawler helped Maclin get started in the wrestling business.

Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court Affirms Death Benefits for Common-Law Spouse of Fatally Injured Worker
Under the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act, relatives of a fatally injured worker may receive death benefits. These benefits serve to compensate surviving spouses, children, and other dependent family members for the loss of financial support. But sometimes legal issues arise concerning the relationship between the dependents and the deceased worker.
Common-Law Law Firm
A recent Commonwealth Court decision, Elk Mountain Ski Resort v. Tietz, deceased, and Tietz-Morrison, affirmed an award of death benefits to a surviving spouse in a common-law marriage. In this case, the claimant, or surviving spouse, alleged that her husband died due to multiple traumatic injuries sustained in a utility-tractor rollover accident. On a fatal claim petition, she listed herself and her two children as dependents. The employer formally agreed that the death was work-related and that the daughters were entitled to weekly death benefits. But it was not determined that the couple was legally married at the time of death. The parties agreed to submit the issue of whether the couple was legally married at the time of death to a Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ).
Before the WCJ, the surviving spouse testified that she and the deceased had entered into a common-law marriage in 2004, one year before the State Legislature abolished common-law marriage. She detailed their traditional Native American marriage ceremony and presented documents to prove the existence of the marriage. And she testified that she and the deceased lived together with their children from the marriage ceremony until his death, holding themselves out as husband and wife, to be recognized by the community and at work. The WCJ found a common-law marriage contract existed, and that she was entitled to death benefits as the deceased worker's surviving spouse.
The Workers' Compensation Appeal Board affirmed this decision, and it held that because the deceased worker was unable to testify, there was a rebuttable presumption in favor of a common-law marriage upon proof of living together and reputation of marriage. The Board held that the surviving spouse's evidence supported the WCJ's findings. The employer appealed the decision, and the case proceeded to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.
The Commonwealth Court limited the issue to whether the WCJ committed an error of law, and whether the findings of fact were supported by substantial evidence. In other words, the Court made clear that they would not reweigh the evidence. The question was whether the WCJ's finding, the existence of a common-law marriage, met its legally required burden of proof: clear and convincing evidence.
In most workers' compensation proceedings, the burden of proof is a preponderance of evidence. But, in the case of a common-law marriage, clear and convincing evidence, a stricter standard, applies. This, the Commonwealth Court explained, is because common-law marriage claims are discouraged and reviewed with great scrutiny.
While the employer argued that the surviving spouses' testimony did not meet the clear and convincing standard, the Commonwealth Court held otherwise. Among other evidence, the surviving spouse presented testimony regarding verba in praisenti, the words exchanged between husband and wife during the marriage ceremony. The Court also noted testimonial evidence about Native American culture and practices, and the surviving spouse's explanation that a marriage license or certificate was not part of these culture and beliefs. Importantly, the court stated that the employer did not present evidence disputing the surviving spouses' testimony.
Finally, the Commonwealth Court made clear that the WCJ determines credibility and weighs the evidence. By accepting the surviving spouse's testimony as credible, the WCJ found it to be clear and convincing evidence that she and the deceased worker were legally husband and wife. And, the Court noted, while she was not required to do so, the surviving spouse also provided "overwhelming" evidence of constant cohabitation and a reputation of marriage. Since she was the common-law wife at the time of his death, the Court held that she is entitled to death benefits under the Workers' Compensation Act.

Sometimes, it just hits me outta nowhere that our family of four GREW! It's not four anymore, there are six of us now. And it's at seemingly normal moments that this epiphany occurs.
Tonight, it was dinnertime. Year after year, as I prepped dinner plates, it was simply four plates.
Because we were young parents, poor and working through college, we decided it'd be fun to start over in adding some littles during this more secure place in our lives. We wanted to know what it felt like to say, "Tonight, we make a baby!" Previously, our kiddos were wanted surprises!
But one extra ovulation day and a date night later, we were given our sweet son.
They waited impatiently, for my return.

The Crack Kid Myth
FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2000 ISSUE
Devastating effects of prenatal cocaine exposure don't pan out.
By Josie Glausiusz|Friday, September 01, 2000
RELATED TAGS: DRUGS & ADDICTION, SEX & REPRODUCTION
More than 30 states have filed charges against women for taking illegal drugs during pregnancy. In 1997, for instance, South Carolina's Supreme Court ruled that women who use drugs during pregnancy can be prosecuted for child abuse. The vast majority of women targeted under this policy are crack cocaine users. But a new study conducted at the University of Florida suggests the laws are as misguided as they are harsh. Children born to cocaine-addicted mothers are no more likely than other kids from similar backgrounds to have significant behavioral problems during their first three years.
Psychologist Fonda Davis Eyler and pediatrician Marylou Behnke studied 300 children from poor families with similar racial backgrounds. Half of the kids had been exposed to cocaine in the womb, half had not. The researchers asked the parents or guardians to answer detailed questions about their children's behavior and temperament. There were no significant differences between the two groups, although both sets of children showed more behavioral problems than average— a finding that Eyler and Behnke attribute to poverty and bad living conditions. "There's not a strong effect of cocaine on misconduct or behavior problems in these children," says Eyler. "We can have a lot more hope about their future."
Still, she and Behnke agree that questionnaires completed by caretakers or family members may give subjective results. Psychologist Barbara Strupp of Cornell hoped to avoid such ambiguities with a laboratory test. She injected rats with cocaine during pregnancy and then studied their offspring. The rat young displayed no memory deficits or social abnormalities, although they did have difficulty staying attentive to tasks when distracted. "In the early 1990s, major magazines ran cover stories on crack kids, but these reports were not based on scientific evidence. Despite popular belief that there are lasting and devastating effects of prenatal cocaine exposure, that just hasn't been the case," Strupp says.

Q: Getting an array of strings from cells in excel - VBA I am working on a program that needs to read an array of values from cells in another worksheet in the same workbook. I am able to read a single value just fine, but when I try to read multiple, I cannot return an array.
Here is what I am trying to do:
    Dim list() As Variant
    list = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A2:C2").value
    Debug.Print TypeName(list)
    Debug.Print UBound(list)
    Debug.Print LBound(list)
    Debug.Print TypeName(list(UBound(list)))

For which the output is:
Variant()
 1
 1
Subscript out of range

However, If I try it where I expect a single string, instead of an array of strings
    Dim value As String
    Let value = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Site IDs and CJONs").Range("A2").value
    Debug.Print TypeName(value)
    Debug.Print value

for which I get the output
String
Expected Value

According to this question I should be able to simply return an array from the range function (example from the answer below), but it doesn't seem to be working for me. What am I doing wrong?
    Dim DirArray As Variant
    DirArray = Range("a1:a5").Value

A: Although it is not obvious, this:
Dim DirArray As Variant
DirArray = Range("a1:a5").Value

actually is like:
Dim DirArray(1 To 5, 1 To 1) As Variant

DirArray(1, 1) = Range("A1").Value
DirArray(2, 1) = Range("A2").Value
DirArray(3, 1) = Range("A3").Value
DirArray(4, 1) = Range("A4").Value
DirArray(5, 1) = Range("A5").Value

Pulling a set of cells into an array usually makes a 2-D array.
NOTE:
If you want to go from array to worksheet cells then, for example:
Sub ytrewq()
    Dim DirArray(1 To 5, 1 To 1) As Variant

    DirArray(1, 1) = "Larry"
    DirArray(2, 1) = "Moe"
    DirArray(3, 1) = "Curly"
    DirArray(4, 1) = "Shepp"
    DirArray(5, 1) = "James"

    Range("B9").Resize(5, 1) = DirArray
End Sub

A: I might as well put my comment as an answer:
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim list As Variant
    list = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:C2").Value))
    Debug.Print TypeName(list)
    Debug.Print UBound(list)
    Debug.Print LBound(list)
    'Debug.Print UBound(list, 2) Error
    'Debug.Print LBound(list, 2) Error
    Debug.Print TypeName(list(UBound(list)))
    Debug.Print list(UBound(list))
End Sub

Gives output:
Variant()
 3
 1
String
x

where C2 contains letter x.

Multiple factors like lack of sleep, electromagnetic fields, aluminum (found in anti-acids, water, foil wrap, deodorants, cookware) interact with our genes to produce diseases like Alzheimer's. In addition, inflammation is always present in most diseases and Alzheimer's is not an exception. Inflammatory-promoting factors include trans fats, saturated fat, stress, infections, lack of exercise, autoimmune diseases, vitamin deficiencies, celiac disease, colitis, sugar, and diabetes, all of which increase the risk of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
New research confirms that diabetics have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center reported that people with diabetes are 70 percent more likely to develop Alzheimer's compared to those with normal blood sugar levels.
Type II diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, a condition where chronic high blood sugar levels have caused an overproduction of insulin. Along with many other side effects, high insulin levels produce inflammation in the body. This inflammation can cause damage in the brain.
Another study, led by Rachel A. Whitmer of the Division of Research at Kaiser Permanente in California, looked at the history of more than 22,000 patients with Type II diabetes whose records had been followed for eight years. The study revealed that higher blood sugar counts correlated with an increased risk of developing dementia. Those with very high blood sugar levels showed a dramatically increased risk of dementia.
"With the whole diabetes epidemic we're seeing much more Type II, so are we going to see even more Alzheimer's than we thought we would see? If we continue in this direction, it's a little bit frightening," says Dr. Whitmer.
For someone with type II diabetes, when blood sugar rises, brain function begins to slow. This occurs even before a diabetic may notice symptoms of blood sugar swings, which is why it is so important for diabetics to develop lifestyle habits that help them control their blood sugar.
The link between diabetes and Alzheimer's goes even deeper. In both diseases, there is a buildup of the protein amyloid–in the brain in Alzheimer's patients, and in the pancreas in those with diabetes. Too much insulin, a condition common in diabetics, can contribute to the buildup of amyloid in the brain.
While there may be no reason to panic, there is strong urging for both diabetics and pre-diabetics to take every measure possible to properly manage blood sugar levels. And since diabetes is a disease which develops because of years of high blood sugar, even people who are not yet at risk for diabetes should do what they can to stay that way.
Managing your blood sugar is not at all complicated. Exercising and maintaining a healthy weight are two simple ways to combat diabetes. It's also important to consider how your eating habits affect your blood sugar. Refined carbohydrates and sugar are especially known for causing high blood sugar. Eating carbohydrates alone can cause blood sugar to spike, so try eating whole carbohydrates with some protein and healthy fat to prevent this. Making permanent healthy lifestyle habits is your best chance at preventing disease.
People with prediabetes have a higher risk of cognitive decline, poor memory, and loss of brain function. Sugar is a key factor that increases inflammation and stress hormones which then affects our bodies and brain. Type 2 diabetics do have a much higher risk of getting Alzheimer's, specially in those genetically predisposed. In fact, some scientists are now calling Alzheimer's disease the "type 3 diabetes".

First to be picked for the team. First to win the race. First to wear the freshest new shoes. First to comment. First to post about an artist. The need for being first has evolved over the years, and blogging's no different. Whilst you've always had the 'tastemakers' breaking news, in recent times, as the number of blogs increase so does the need for challenge, all in the name of being first. Sometimes it's nice to take a backseat. Time to reflect and remind ourselves (or at least in my case anyway) why I even started this blog. It wasn't to be first. Or to take on any of these big sites who have a whole team of writers behind them. At the end of the day, I'm just one guy. I started Scientists of Sound in order to share music I like, as simple as that. And here's one of those very tracks. A random discovery whilst browsing Soundcloud. I don't know too much about Rheya. Hell I don't know anything at all except they (him/her/machine) reside in Sweden and make some of the sleekest minimalistic synth work I've heard. Drowned in sea of swirling pads Alone On The Rope reflects the kind of Nordic scenery we often associate with Scandinavia as thumping electronic percussion throbs beneath its hazy lead vocals. Lose yourself above and below.
Rheya currently have a free 3-track EP available to download from their Bandcamp here. Whether we'll hear form them again, we can only hope.
