If you're visiting Hanoi, you can't miss Ha Long Bay. A paradise of almost 2000 majestic limestone rock formations that tower over glistening emerald waters. Looking out onto Ha Long Bay, it's absolutely gorgeous and easy to see how this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and easy to see why Ha Long Bay was declared one of the natural wonders of the world! The water is beautifully embellished with countless charming brown wooden junk boats.
Looking for a Ha Long Bay junk boat tour, we weren't sure which one to choose. The streets of Hanoi are littered with tour operators, each selling various packages for this destination.
Specifically we knew we wanted to spend at least one night on a junk boat, and preferably with people of similar age, where we could enjoy a few drinks and have a bit of a party in paradise. So we were happy to have met a tour guide from the infamous Hanoi Backpackers Hostel. He told us that their tour ($159USD) would involve a night on a junk boat, followed by a night on Castaway Island – a private island owned by the owners of the hostel… it sounded great so we booked it the next day.
Although the bus ride from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay only takes 4 hours total (including a stop at a pottery barn from where you can get some noodles and any souvenirs you might like to purchase), it is a lot longer until you are finally able to step into your room aboard the junk boat.The bus was small and cramped and the up-right chairs which didn't recline didn't help much in the area of comfort.
After the minibus, we spent a while of waiting for a small motorboat to take us to the "Jolly Roger" (our home for the evening). Our tour group was quite a large one and we were therefore split onto two boats, though we remained on the Jolly Roger.
All of our meals onboard and on the island were included in the tour.
When staying on Castaway Island, the food we were given was similar to what we ate onboard. Free water was also accessible, although anything else, such as alcohol or soda could be purchased from the bar.
There was however, an outdoor shower just near our hut which was a welcome refreshment from the heat.
Situated in the heart of Cat Ba National Park, Castaway Island is the private island, owned by Vietnam Backpacker Hostels' owners. From afar, when approaching the island by speedboat, Castaway Island – in fact all of Ha Long Bay – ticks all the boxes of a paradisal destination. Crystal clear, blue calm waters, white sandy beaches, thousands of green forested islets dotted everywhere., tropical weather. Heaven.
On closer observation, you can see the environmental impact of tourists constantly partying there every day – the beach is littered with trash, the waves dragging it out and pushing it all back in. The colour of the sea near the shore was a murky brown colour. To thoroughly enjoy our swim here we had to endure walking/swimming past the rubbish & dirt and swim quite far out in order to find a clean area to swim.
For those who are more active, there were quite a few fun activities that we could participate in throughout the tour.
Tubing was a popular one, in which you're being dragged by inner tube by motorboat. The aim is to not fall off, similar concept to the Banana Boat.
Wakeboarding was also offered, for all levels, and lessons were even provided to the less-experienced.
Rock climbing gives a fantastic opportunity to take in the breath-taking scenery from up high as ell ). As well as the chance to take in the amazing scenery an amazing height. You will be taken on the other side of the island where you will be given all necessary equipment and an instructor will be there to guide you.
Kayaking was also offered as a relaxing activity both during the day onboard the Jolly Roger and any time we were staying on Castaway Island. This was a wonderful opportunity to visit other areas of Ha Long Bay up close, from different perspectives, and at our own leisure. Great opportunity to visit caves and the nearby floating fisherman villages.
We were picked up from the hostel at 7.30am and were taken to Ha Long Bay by minibus, which took approximately four hours including a stop at a pottery barn, where we were able to purchase some noodles and crisps.
Onboard, we were given some time to find our rooms before enjoying a shared lunch which included a wide selection of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and rice. Following lunch, we had the opportunity of spending a few hours kayaking around Ha Long Bay. A great workout with a great view! Although a couple of the kayaks did sink resulting in a few stranded swimmers, it was overall an awesome experience which enabled us to explore the huge mountainous rock formations and caves.
Waking up with an inevitable headache, we were served a simple breakfast at 7am, giving us ample time to repack our bags before changing boats & tour guide that would take us to the infamous Castaway Island.
Upon arriving at the island, we were given free reign to choose our accommodation and explore the island.We were given another simple lunch, and left to our own devices for the afternoon, giving us the opportunity to swim, sunbathe or participate in the aforementioned activities.
As the day wore on, more beverages were consumed and by sunset, the evening consisted of lots of drunken swimming, with many naked people running around, or people smoking tuc lao. In contrast to the chaos, when swimming in the sea at night, it was phenomenal to watch the plankton glow a dazzling array of colours as we touched them. If you've ever seen Life Of Pi, you'll know what I'm talking about.
We woke up with the peaceful sounds of the waves gently hitting the shore, although it was to be short-lived as sadly the weather was changing in front of our very eyes. We were warned of an incoming typhoon which meant we had to get off the island earlier than anticipated, and get back onto the boat which would take us back to the Jolly Roger.
The four hour bus journey back to Hanoi in the upright, hard seats of the minibus, felt significantly worse than two days prior, although this could have been avoided with less alcohol consumption… We arrived back to Hanoi in one piece around 6pm.

It's faster and easier to improve something that's already getting results, than to start from scratch.
Internet marketing that involves creating a flow of visitors to a website from search engine results is called search engine marketing ( SEM ). For Google, this covers paid Adwords, the main Organic results and the Local ABC map results.
The fact that people visit a website as a result of pro-actively searching makes them very hot-prospects for what you have to offer, so having your marketing message display in the results is extremely valuable.
Google is the biggest target of SEM, but Bing is also a major search engine, and there are other large players that use a search engine to display results : two are Youtube & Amazon (Facebook and LinkedIn are different because they display ads based on demographics and preferences and not pro-active searches).
Do you already have traction in search results ?
Even if you're not running paid Adwords, and haven't done anything much about being seen in the main results you may already be showing up for some phrases in the main listings.
You should have a look !
The new version of Google's search console, released in early 2018, is MUCH better than the previous version for checking your traffic from search queries.
If you haven't hooked the console up, you can still learn a lot about what you're appearing for already from other analytics tools like Matomo ( more info here ).
Locate any phrases and pages that you're already getting a good number of impressions for ( you may be surprised ).
Next see if you can increase the clicks by improving the message in the META description and title ( that are usually displayed as the default text ).
Make sure that the page itself makes an offer encouraging people to contact you or leave their contact details, like an email address.
The most valuable asset of your business is your list or database of contact details for people who have shown interest in your product or service.
If your website isn't doing this as effectively as you'd like, then download a free copy of the Website Debug Checklist here.
Sponsored listings across the top and bottom of the search engine results pages (SERPS) with a little, green "Ad" icon at the front . These are paid-for, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads, where the advertiser bids a certain amount they are willing to pay each time their listing is clicked. Sponsored adds are also syndicated to other websites that form a Content Network ( Google calls their program AdSense ).
Organic which are the main body of results. Marketing that increases traffic to websites by increasing search result rankings in the main body of results is called SEO.
Search engine marketing is one way of delivering good quality traffic to a website. It's not always the best solution due to the long wait in SEO and the cost of paid ads which have gone up a lot with Adwords. I now generally suggest starting with Facebook ads due to the incredible targeting options & lower cost.
We run Facebook ads for our Jumpstart Campaigns.
That said, SEM can provide huge exposure for a business and extremely proactive leads.
The amount of income to a business, group or individual is proportional to the amount of attention received – which you can observe with celebrities or groups with well-know names. You become well-known by generating interest in what you provide or accomplish, and the first step is catching the initial attention.


Coastal will begin worshipping at the old Scott Middle School (4116 Ave N 1/2) across from Ball High on Jan 7, 2018. The change of venue will allow for increased parking and meeting space, some equipment to remain setup, and a significant cost savings. The larger space will also allow us to go down to two worship services — 9:00 am and 10:30 am.

The Sixth Extinction
Published Dec 27, 2016 at 22:22
In the history of the world – as far as scientists have discovered – there have been five mass extinction events on earth. All have seemed to relate to sudden climate shifts. In this compelling and clearly-written book, Kolbert presents the evidence that we are in the midst of the sixth such event, and furthermore, the evidence implicates humans as the motivating force behind the event.
Kolbert is a fantastic writer and she pulls together numerous threads to establish her thesis. She examines the ways that we are tracking extinction and seeing it happen in a large scale today. She examines how humans came to understand the concept of extinction (there was a time, just a few centuries ago, where the idea that animals could no longer exist was unthinkable). But she also wants readers to understand how ecosystems work; how species evolve to find some equilibrium in their environment so they can avoid extinction. After this, Kolbert reveals the multitudinous ways our industrialized, globalized world is reshaping locales in an evolutionary blink of the eye; so fast that creatures of all sizes are helpless to adapt.
Kolbert ties all these threads together to argue that it's undeniable mass extinction is occurring, it's extremely likely humans are the cause, and then, to cap it all off, she argues that this destruction is not accidental but written into our nature as humans. It's an interesting argument and Kolbert is excellent at presenting it, but this last position is the most contentious in the book. The anthropocene is the term used to describe this era of massive climate change and extinction caused by human activity on earth. But anthropocene indicts humanity as a whole, as does Kolbert in the book, a generalization that leaves no room for questioning which humans were the primary drivers and what united them, or if there were other groups who did not participate in the destruction of earth in these past few centuries. There are numerous people who think these complexities are worth pursuing as we continue to address the destruction reaped.
Despite her last argument's generalization, I highly recommend The Sixth Extinction. Kolbert is one my favorite science writers: she writes with a mastery of complex subjects without becoming dense or complex in her language. The Sixth Extinction covers a wide range of history, scientific disciplines, and ongoing research work and Kolbert excellently distills these topics into a book that is easy to read. I enjoyed it immensely, learned so much, and surely would benefit from a reread.

Alt-1959: Build cars! Bid for drivers! Suggest tracks!
by tommykl 27 Jun 2021, 10:29
It's been a while.
After a couple of years where work got more of my attention and running these races took more and more time, this series went on an unannounced hiatus. The forum outage didn't help, nor did some issues with deteriorating mental health. And yet, the forum bounced back, and I found myself with four months of gardening leave in which I could work on some projects. So I refreshed my VBA skills and bodged together a way to automate these races and make the whole thing smoother.
To cut a long story short, it's back.

Now that all I have to do is put one number in rather than painstakingly format everything and edit the post, this should take up less of my time.
Core game mechanics are currently unchanged, though this could eventually be amended as my free time and creativity continue to evolve in the coming months. I'm especially thinking of including modifiers for front vs rear-engined cars, as well as grip-limited vs power-limited circuits. The "in the news" and "currently winning elsewhere" segments will sadly be significantly reduced (if not completely cut) as they took up a lot of my time.
Aside from all that, we have a lot to catch up on. First things first: who's coming back, and who are they taking on?

January 9th 1959 - New Zealand Grand Prix qualifying
Those two months sure felt like two years, didn't they? Oh well, we've got a Grand Prix to get to. This non-championship race with reduced purse hasn't attracted that big an entry list, but that hasn't stopped some big teams from making the trip out of principle. Locals have also decided to leave this one be, preferring the Formula Libre event held on the same day. Nonetheless, 15 drivers have appeared and all will therefore start the race. The only stakes here are bragging rights and an advantage for tomorrow's race.
Jim Russell and British Racing Partnership didn't have the best experience in 1958 despite making the grid more often than not. This is a good opportunity for them to kick start the new year.
Chan Lye Choon first tasted Formula 1 at the 1955 Singapore Grand Prix, but now he's won the Macau Grand Prix, he's hoping to have a second bite in this lower-scope event. This time, he's got an old B.C.M.A. and a newer O.S.C.A. engine to help.
Scuderia Centro Sud had a great season in 1958, capped with two podiums from Hernando da Silva Ramos and André Guelfi. Both of them are present in Ardmore, albeit Guelfi in the underpowered Ugolini machine. Instead, the second Centro Sud entry is entrusted to Consalvo Sanesi, the former title contender who is slowly switching his attentions to GT racing.
Reg Parnell is another man who's seen better days. Now 47 years old, he's finally accepted that his affiliation with Maserati is unlikely to lead anywhere and put his eggs in the Cooper T45 basket. With a small entry list, this is a safe place for him to have a good time and consider his options for the coming season.
Both Rob Walker and José Froilán González are still jubilant from their long-awaited first victory at Sebring, a triumph they hope to repeat here. To acquire some more experience, Walker has also brought Dan Gurney along in an older O.S.C.A..
Alfred Owen also had a successful 1958, scoring a handful of points with Jack Fairman and Alan Stacey. While Fairman is taking some time with his tooling business, Stacey will be there in the usual B.C.M.A..
Ferrari is of course the biggest threat here, with a change of trackside management over the off-season. Newly-crowned champion Peter Collins is the obvious favourite this weekend, with Umberto Maglioli and Phil Hill in tow. Local hero Ross Jensen will be the sole Kiwi on the grid, with an older model under him.
While neither Lotus nor B.C.M.A. works cars will be in attendance, Australian Stan Jones was able to convince both Colin Chapman and the British government to provide him with a chassis and engine respectively. Suddenly he has a real chance to ruffle some feathers in by far the most competitive car he's had.
Tony Vandervell was making it known that he'd likely pull out of F1 if Salvadori did not score a podium at Sebring. When a third place was duly scored, plans changed and the team took their car through the Panama Canal and towards Auckland. Can they carry the momentum into 1959?
I've got a busy week ahead of me so can't guarantee when it'll happen, but it's happening.

Collins, the overwhelming favourite, wasn't able to leave the pits for qualifying until the dying moments. Yet, he still found enough to slot into second place behind González, who set a monstrous lap to take a close-fought pole position. Salvadori was also able to pull out some impressive pace to secure a second row start for Vanwall (ahead of works Ferraris among others). Despite being trusted with the best machinery the United Kingdom has to offer, Stan Jones can only make it to 12th position, presumably a byproduct of lacking the expertise required to effectively assemble the car.
Re: Alt-1959: New Zealand qualifying up!
January 10th 1959 - New Zealand Grand Prix
Pole-sitter González may have had a good enough start to lead into the first corner and at the end of the first lap, but his early pace was not enough to keep it for long. Defending champion Peter Collins soon made a clean move for the lead, but seemed unable to pull away for long. González barged his way past on lap 7 despite pressure behind from Maglioli, but with a fast-starting Dan Gurney hounding the Italian, González was clear... for three laps, until Peter Collins set the fastest lap of the race on lap 10 taking back the lead.
The early pace of the leaders contrasted with a chaotic scene in the midfield, as an unfamiliarity with the track led to some unwillingness to overtake for some drivers. Reg Parnell had no such qualms, soon reaching fifth position, but his strong start was sadly squandered by a gearbox failure. Stan Jones, struggling to adapt to his first taste in top-class machinery, soon followed suit. His engine had been showing smoke, and he pulled into the pits after falling to last place behind André Guelfi, whose F3-adjacent car quickly gave up as well.
By this point, Collins was losing pace lap after lap. González had taken back the lead a second time on lap 14, far more easily this time. The cause soon became apparent, as Collins' car broke down shortly thereafter with several dead cylinders. Ferrari's issues were compounded when Ross Jensen's 801 has a suspension fail on the same lap out of ninth place. Jim Russell, recovering from an early spin, passed Chan Lye Choon for what was now that ninth place. An unlucky position it turns out, as Russell soon lost control of his Cooper and wound up stranded in the grass next to the airfield. After 20 laps, González led the steadily climbing Phil Hill, with Dan Gurney holding on in third. Roy Salvadori, Consalvo Sanesi and Umberto Maglioli closed the top six, at the top of a close-fought midfield.
That midfield allowed Hill to pull away in second and was steadily reeling in González's lead, up until lap 26, when a third Ferrari race was unfortunately ended, this time with a gearbox issue. Maranello's hopes now rested on Maglioli, who was now at the forefront of the midfield fight in third place behind only the Rob Walker 1-2 of González and Gurney. As Stacey and Sanesi scrapped over sixth place of eight remaining cars, Maglioli now had to defend from Roy Salvadori's Vanwall, with Ramos hanging back waiting for the battle to develop.
In his inexperience, Gurney struggled to keep up the pace and eventually lost second place to Salvadori on lap 36. Maglioli wasn't there to take advantage of this though, having been caught and passed by Ramos. Sanesi slowly joined the scrap himself, while Alan Stacey slowly fell back and eventually pulled into the pits with electrical gremlins.
Salvadori was certainly competitve, but not enough to build a gap to third place and certainly not enough to put a dent in González's ballooning lead. Indeed, despite a valiant effort, he relinquished second place to Gurney with 30 laps remaining. A few laps later, a frustrated Ramos made it past both of these guys, sick of having lost so much time in these battles all race. He'd had González's pace the whole time, but once he'd reached the front and seen that the Argentine was almost two laps up the road, the motivation faded. Salvadori's clutch started to stick, putting an end to an impressive race for the Brit, and Gurney immediately took back that second place.
This led to a no-holds-barred battle for second place between the four remaining contenders: Gurney, Ramos, Sanesi and Maglioli. Chan Lye Choon was also still in the race, but too far behind to capitalise or ever catch up, and he'd eventually also retire with a driveshaft failure. Gurney led the way while the rest jockeyed for position, and once Maglioli had come out on top, he soon got his Ferrari past Gurney's O.S.C.A.. Sanesi had also fallen back a bit further, leaving the positions static for the last few laps... that is, until Ramos slowly reeled in Gurney. With three laps remaining, he'd made the move stick, but Gurney was able to counterattack and secure third place.
González secured his second win in as many races, with Maglioli salvaging a second place for Ferrari. Gurney's third place is his best so far, while Ramos will be frustrated with fourth place after demonstrating good pace. Sanesi brought his car home in one piece, having at least recovered from a poor start to race as high as fourth.

Kacey Musgraves & Ruston Kelly's 'To June This Morning' Re-Imagines Johnny Cash Love Letter
The latest official music video from 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words' (out now/Legacy Recordings) finds newlyweds Ruston Kelly & Kacey Musgraves turning a love letter that Johnny Cash wrote to June Carter Cash into an all-new ballad. It was filmed at the remains of Johnny and June's home at Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Ruston originally started composing "To June This Morning" as a teenager, based on a love letter that Johnny had written to June as she descended the kitchen stairs one morning in 1970, eight months pregnant with their son John Carter Cash. Years later, when Ruston was asked by John Carter to contribute to this album, he asked his then-fiancée Kacey Musgraves to record the final version with him.
The video begins with Willie Nelson & Kris Kristofferson's contribution to 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words,' called "Forever/I Still Miss Someone." A thematic prologue to both the album and the video, "Forever/I Still Miss Someone" features two of Johnny's old friends and collaborators: Willie plays the melody to one of Johnny's songs ("I Still Miss Someone") while Kris recites one of the final poems Johnny ever wrote, called "Forever."
Says John Carter Cash, "To me, the essences of the tracks "Forever/I Still Miss Someone" and "To June This Morning" are both of hope. My father wrote the poem "Forever" weeks before his passing. "To June This Morning" has the same hope; the words were written in February of 1970, one month before my birth. Together they represent Dad's enduring hopes, the beauty of faith and the belief in all the good to come…even in the face of his own mortality."
A collaborative album of Johnny Cash's unknown poetry, lyrics, and letters now set to music by an astounding array of contemporary artists, 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words' was released on Friday on Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. The release has been met with a number of high profile features including CBS This Morning, the NY Times, Rolling Stone, NPR Weekend Edition, Associated Press and much more.
Listen to 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words' on all platforms here: https://JohnnyCash.lnk.to/Foreverwords_AlbumPR
Along with Ruston Kelly & Kacey Musgraves, 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words' features new songs by Chris Cornell, Rosanne Cash, Elvis Costello, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Kris Kristofferson & Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, John Mellencamp, Carlene Carter, The Jayhawks and more.
Legacy Recordings has previously released the music video for Rosanne Cash's "The Walking Wounded," which was filmed at Johnny Cash's childhood home in Dyess, Arkansas. Other previously released songs include Chris Cornell's "You Never Knew My Mind" and Elvis Costello's "I'll Still Love You."
When Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash passed, they left behind what John Carter Cash describes as a "monstrous amassment" of things, including a treasure trove of undiscovered material that includes Johnny Cash's handwritten letters, poems and documents, penned across the entirety of his life.
Recorded primarily at the Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee, 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words' is also the musical companion to the best-selling "Forever Words: The Unknown Poems," a volume of Cash's unpublished writing edited by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon and curated by John Carter Cash and Steve Berkowitz. Muldoon also contributes liner notes on the album. Many of the songs on 'Johnny Cash: Forever Words' were directly inspired by material in the book while others are drawn from different sources of Cash's unpublished writings.

Original article (Duffy Signs Contract Extension Through 2022-23 Season) on Miami (OH) University's athletic website miamiredhawks.com.
Miami University Director of Athletics David Sayler announced Thursday that women's basketball head coach Megan Duffy has inked a contract extension through the 2022-23 season.
Duffy guided the RedHawks to the best win turnaround in the nation under a first-year head coach as Miami won 10 more games than a season ago to collect a 21-11 record on the year. She was one of just four rookie head coaches this season to post at least 20 wins, and the only female to do so.
The Red & White went 12-6 in Mid-American Conference play, their most wins since 2007-08. This year's feat was particularly impressive as MU began conference play 2-5 but finished the regular season by winning 10 of its last 11.
When all was said and done, the 'Hawks closed the regular season with the fourth-best record in the conference, earning them a first-round bye straight to Cleveland for the MAC Tournament. There, Miami topped rival Ohio, 69-66, to advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2008. The Red & White's run came to an end when they fell to eventual champion and Sweet 16 team Central Michigan, 61-58.
Under Duffy's tutelage, Miami produced two all-conference performers in Lauren Dickerson and Kendall McCoy. Dickerson was tabbed First-Team All-MAC while McCoy earned All-MAC Honorable Mention.
The RedHawks improved statistically in a number of areas this season, one of the most notable being on the defensive side of the ball as they led the conference in scoring defense at 64.0 points per game.
The program's successes this season were hardly limited to the court. Last month, Miami had a program-high eight student-athletes tabbed Academic All-MAC. This past summer, the RedHawks were named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Top 25 Honor Roll after earning the sixth-best team grade-point average in the nation among all Division I schools. Most recently, the team was recognized as having the top GPA of any women's program at Miami.
Duffy is set to bring in a talented recruiting class this fall. The early signing class from November features two in-state products in Alexis Straw and Kennedy Taylor while Vannessa Garrelts hails from Illinois. Most recently, the RedHawks signed Nia Clark to a National Letter of Intent.


Heap is a unique new service that automatically captures all user actions on your site including UI interaction.
This library helps developers integrate Heap analytics into their Django projects.
Now you are ready to start tracking.
By default, django-heap tracks your site's superusers as well. You can disable this by setting the HEAP_TRACK_SUPERUSER flag to False. This prevents the script tag template from rendering when user has is_superuser property set to True.
django-heap can automatically call heap.identify with data from the authenticated user. To do that, you need to set the HEAP_AUTO_ID_USER setting to True (disabled by default). Only authenticated users will be identify. The User object's get_full_name method will be used to derive the name parameter for the identify call, and if User object has an email field, the email parameter will also be passed. There is currently no handling for the cases where get_full_name returns the user's email address.
Note This implementation is currently experimental, so please do it manually in the BODY tag as suggested by Heap documentation if you find it doesn't work for you.
You can customize django-heap by simply overriding the default template. There is currently no direct support for custom tracking calls, but it is planned for the next release.

Creators on the Rise
Charli D'Amelio Has Amassed 100 Million TikTok Followers In One-And-A-Half Years
By Geoff Weiss • 11/23/2020 •
Charli D'Amelio has realized a distant TikTok dream — surpassing 100 million followers on the app within roughly one-and-a-half years, having launched her TikTok channel in May 2019.
D'Amelio, 16, has quickly become the most-followed creator on TikTok by a mile, followed only by Addison Rae (70 million followers), Zach King (53 million followers), and Loren Gray (50 million followers).
"It's literally insane," D'amelio said in a TikTok video to fete the occasion, in which she hosted a Zoom meet-and-greet with several of her fans (below). "I'm excited to see where this journey goes from here." On D'Amelio's behalf, TikTok is also donating $100,000 to American Dance Movement — a nonprofit dedicated to improving and increasing access to dance education in the United States — with $10,000 going to 10 different dance schools across the country.

D'Amelio is a former competitive dancer who has become renowned for her abilities on the app. Her massive following has also made possible several big-ticket brand collaborations with the likes of Hollister, Morphe, Invisalign, and Dunkin' Donuts. D'Amelio also hosts a podcast with her older sister, Dixie — a huge TikTok star in her own right with 35 million followers. She is also the author of a forthcoming autobiographical advice book called Essentially Charli.
Charli and Dixie — along with their parents, Marc and Heidi — are en route to building a full-fledged family entertainment empire. Last month, former UTA digital co-head Greg Goodfried departed the agency to work with the D'Amelio family full-time. The family counts 1.2 million subscribers on a collective YouTube channel, and reportedly have a reality television series in the works.

The Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Maha Khtaya D-Baz; Phonology, Morphology and Texts
by Hezy Mutzafi. Published in Journal of Semitic Studies; XL V/2 Autumn 2000.
Republished in Nineveh Magazine, 1st and 2nd Qtr., vol. 24, Nos. 1 & 2, 2001.
Posted: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 at 01:25 PM CT
"Since the beginning of scholarly activity in the field of Neo-Aramaic in the first half of the nineteenth century, the type of Aramaic spoken by the Assyrian tribe of Baz (bāz) has remained all but ignored. Not only are the published data on bāziyāna, the language of Baz, extremely scanty and sporadic, but even this meager amount of data is partly marred by non-linguistic transcription and inaccurate details. In the early years of the twentieth century the Bazi Assyrians (calling themselves baznāyē, baznáy or bazné according to dialect) resided in six villages along the narrow valley of Baz in the Ottoman vilayet of Hakkâri, about fifteen kilometers south-east of the town Julamerk (called Jurmal by the Assyrians; present-day Hakkâri, Turkey). The principal village of Baz was Maha Khtaya (i.e. 'the lower village') situated at 37º27 N, 43º53 E; and the other Bazi villages were Shwawwa, Irgab, Be-Selim, Arutus and Qojij. The people of Baz were mostly farmers, shepherds, builders and blacksmiths. Many Bazi tribesmen used to earn their livelihood during wintertime as hired laborers in the vilayet of Mosul.
"During World War I the Bazis, numbering several thousand, shared the tragic fate of the entire Assyrian people, whose leaders sided with the allied powers. In September 1915 overwhelming Kurdish f loyal to the Ottoman regime poured into Baz; and the surviving Bazis, defended by their retreating combatants, had to flee their ravaged homeland. Three years later, after a lengthy ordeal, they were resettled in Iraq by the British authorities, first in a refugee camp, later in the vicinities of Dohuk and Amadiyua, in villages where often the entire population was not only Bazi, but originated from a certain Bazi village.
"Oppression, wars and political upheavals prompted almost all rural Assyrians of northern Iraq to leave their villages, some families crossing to Syria already in 1934, others moving to the large urban centers of Iraq and later emigrating in great numbers to North America, Europe and Australia. In the urban Assyrian communities, Baziyana, like the other Neo-Aramaic varieties of Hakkâri, is being rapidly effaced by the Urmi-based Koine.
"Although the data at my disposal on Bazi varieties other than that of Maha Khtaya d-Baz are very limited, it is safe to determine that the Neo-Aramaic of Baz is a cluster of highly interrelated and completely interintelligible dialects, and that many if not most of the salient features of M-Baz described here apply to the Baziyana language as a whole."

My First Efforts in Invention Summary and Analysis
The second chapter of Tesla's series covers his early development as an inventor. He focuses first on his own physiology and relates it to his success as an inventor. Although he is in his middle age, Tesla explains, he has the physical condition of a man much younger. This is despite having had several extended illnesses as a child, he adds. He explains this is due partly to his observation of moderation in consuming stimulants such as caffeine or excessive alcohol. Tesla derides the contemporary prohibition movement that seeks to outlaw alcohol, however. He observes that other substances like caffeine and tobacco cause just as many ill effects and are just as dangerous. He also hints that it is preferable for people to have free access to these addictive substances, because it will...

Tales of Racism and Sexism, From 3 Leading Asian-American Women
Lee: One of the things we have to think about is, first of all, Asian-Americans have an enormous tent with so many diverse histories, so many countries of origin. What we often forget is that, within the countries of origin, there's certain stories of patriarchy that we don't want to talk about, histories of colonialism and imperialism. That's incredibly informative when we think about sex workers, in particular, and working-class women because we have all these class issues. We also have ethnicity issues, we have regional issues. It's really complicated. Tchen: I think it's about otherness. It doesn't matter how long you've been here. I mean, I can't even speak Chinese and yet, I feel very othered, always feel it. Why did "Minari" win best foreign-language film even though it's an American story? It's part of othering. You layer on top of that the sexualization of Asian women — which has always existed and is fueling this. The law enforcement are sort of saying this has to do with his sex addiction, so therefore it's not a hate crime or racially targeted. No, no, no — that's all together — all part of one piece. I can remember when I was younger, just out of college in 1978, there were men who would come up to me in the street, drop their pants and say I reminded them of the girlfriend they left behind in Vietnam. Literally drop their pants and begin to touch themselves in the middle of downtown Chicago, and this happened more than once. Lee: This happened to me, too. It happened to me several times. People would actually grope me in the street saying things like, "You remind me of somebody in Vietnam." Very often, these are poor, homeless people. It's not as if I don't have sympathy for them — they're maybe suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. But it doesn't mean that we don't deserve sympathy either. There's been so much of just swallowing the assault, all this repression, and we carry it forward, saying, "Oh, it's not a big deal, it'll be OK." But now people are saying: "No more. We are first among equals. This is not OK."

Educator giving teachers 'a pat on the back'
by ALEC HARVEY
Photo courtesy of David Seale.
David Seale, who became principal at AvondaleElementary School in January, has written a book called "Teacher Affirmations," which he calls "a sort of 'Chicken Soup for the Teacher Soul,' except grounded in more reality, research and experience."
David Seale has been an educator for more than 25 years, and he knows how difficult teachers' jobs can be.
That was the thought behind a podcast he began a year ago, that was meant to inspire teachers and others in the education field.
"Teachers get plenty of professional development but not always the pat on the back they need," he said.
That podcast, available through listennotes.com and iTunes, has become the basis for Seale's first book, "Teacher Affirmations," which he calls "a sort of 'Chicken Soup for the Teacher Soul,' except grounded in more reality, research and experience."
And Seale has plenty of experience. A graduate of Mountain Brook High School, The University of Alabama and The University of Montevallo, he began his teaching career in the Tuscaloosa County School System. From 1999 to 2005, he was an English teacher and debate coach at MBHS, and he was principal at Tarrant Intermediate School from 2015-18 before joining the Birmingham City Schools system as an instructional coordinator.
"But my draw to the schoolhouse was too strong," said Seale, who became principal at Avondale Elementary School in January.
Seale's podcast and book consist of short bits of information and inspiration.
"I had the idea for the podcast about a year ago, because I read some troubling research on the high rate of teacher burnout, as well as a realization that there is a teacher shortage across the country," Seale said. "I felt like the content of the podcast would also work well in a book format, especially for those educators who are not necessarily podcast listeners."
Seale believes his educational affirmations are particularly important as teachers wrestle with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Right now, a large percentage of our teachers are not only having to teach their students in a format in which most have never utilized — distance learning — but they are also teaching their own children at home, as well as being a parent," Seale said. "They are essentially juggling the three most important jobs all at once. So, some validation and encouragement is needed now more than ever, I feel."
For Seale, over the years, that has meant returning to why he became a teacher in the first place.
"Many times, when I have felt a little burned out or frustrated, rediscovering my purpose, my 'why' for becoming an educator, has been huge in helping me reignite the fire," he said. "I also try to surround myself with positive influences, as opposed to those negative folks in the profession who can sometimes add to the negativity and burnout."
Those bright spots have often come from his students, according to Seale.
"A lot of the affirmations I have had along the way usually come in the form of small things and almost always from the student success and the small appreciations I get from my students," he said. "For educators, it doesn't take much, because we are in this profession for children and to help continue a society of leaders, learners and citizens."
Seale hopes "Teacher Affirmations," which is available at independent bookstores and on Amazon, will reach more than his target audience.
"The book is certainly geared toward educators, and a lot of the advice is specific to the profession," he said. "But the messages of service, validation and perseverance can certainly apply to anyone in any profession."

Q: How precalculate this lighting layer like in this Raycaster Engine please check this raycaster example be Sage3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abki1Tp1maM
I wonder how the lighting layer is done?
For sure it baked into sometinhg, we can see soft shadows, occlusion and colors.
I was tkingking about baking each cell into separate texture, but even for 64x64 cells it would be 4096 textures only for floor, you also need walls and maybbe ceilings so it would.
The second thought was that baking one texture 512x512 for ex. for 100  or 200 cells.
But maybe it is possible to bake the buffer somehow?? please note again that this is software raycaster not poligonal software renderer.
Thanks in advance :)

USING THE MAGICAL MUSIC FACTORY
I Can't Record Anything
You might not have microphone plugged in. If you are using a laptop, it may have its own microphone – all you need to do is make sure it's active.
For Windows 8/8.1 Press the Windows key and X and select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Recording' tab. Make sure that 'Microphone' is set as the default input. Click Ok. If you are using a desktop or tower PC you will need an external microphone which can be plugged into the microphone socket of the PC. If the microphone has an on/off switch make sure it's switched on……
For Windows 7 Go to the Start Button and select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Recording' tab. Make sure that 'Microphone' is set as the default input. Click Ok. If you are using a desktop or tower PC you will need an external microphone which can be plugged into the microphone socket of the PC. If the microphone has an on/off switch make sure it's switched on……
I Can't Hear Anything
You might not have your speakers switch on/turned up.
For Windows 8/8.1 Press the Windows key and X and select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Playback' tab. Click on the 'Properties' button at the bottom right-hand side of the dialogue box. Click on the 'levels' tab. Ensure the sliders are set to 100% and that the little speaker picture shows just a speaker (click on it if it doesn't). Click Ok and Ok.
If you have external speakers attached, check to see they have their own power and/or volume control. If they do, make sure the speakers are switch on and their volume is turned up.
For Windows 7 Select the Start Button select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Playback' tab. Click on the 'Properties' button at the bottom right-hand side of the dialogue box. Click on the 'levels' tab. Ensure the sliders are set to 100% and that the little speaker picture shows just a speaker (click on it if it doesn't). Click Ok and Ok.
When I Record A Sound, It's Too Quiet
This usually because the microphone is not near enough to the sound source (a voice or object or instrument). Try moving the microphone as close as you can (but watch out for anything that might hit the microphone or make the sound distort – see below). If the sound is still too quiet the recording volume might be too low. To remedy, please do the following:
For Windows 8/8.1 Press the Windows key and X and select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Recording' tab. Select the default device and click on the 'Properties' button at the bottom right-hand side of the dialogue box. Click on the 'levels' tab.

Select the default device and click on the 'Properties' button at the bottom right-hand side of the dialogue box. Click on the 'levels' tab. Ensure the sliders are set to 100% and that the little speaker picture shows just a speaker (click on it if it doesn't). Click Ok and Ok.
When I Record A Sound, It's Too Loud/Sounds Distorted.
This usually because the microphone is too near to the sound source (a voice or object or instrument). Try moving the microphone a bit further away (but not too far or the sound will get too quiet). If the sound is still too loud the recording volume might be too high. To remedy this, please do the following:
For Windows 8/8.1 Press the Windows key and X and select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Recording' tab. Select the default device and click on the 'Properties' button at the bottom right-hand side of the dialogue box. Click on the 'levels' tab. Drag the microphone slider a little to the left, which lowers the recording volume. Click Ok and Ok.
For Windows 7 Go to the Start Button and select the Control Panel. Go to 'Sound'. Select the 'Recording' tab. Select the default device and click on the 'Properties' button at the bottom right-hand side of the dialogue box. Click on the 'levels' tab. Drag the microphone slider a little to the left, which lowers the recording volume. Click Ok and Ok.
There Is A Gap In The Recording Before The Sound Starts.
Open Mr Mangle's Magical Music Factory and when you are the 'Home' page, hold down Shift/Ctrl to make the Settings cog appear. Click on it. Change the number on the 'In Level'. This determines how sensitive Mr Mangle's Magical Music Factory is to your microphone. If you LOWER the number you will to make more noise (maybe even shout!) before the recording will start. If you RAISE the number then you will only have to whisper before the sound recording will start. Try altering the setting and then recording again. It takes a bit of trial and error to find the best setting for your computer, but once you have you shouldn't have to change it again provided you use the same microphone. It's probably best to do this adjusting before the class comes in…….

These colors are worn by students from the University of Bologna, headed by Giovanni Battista De Rolands and Luizi Zamboni.
The main aim of the student was to collapse the Catholic government of Bologna.
The students consider themselves patriots and the tricolor cockades used were a representation of their inspiration from the Jacobin revolutionary movements, with modified colors to differentiate them from the French.
The current flag of Italy was officially adopted on 17th January 1797.

These are the best 2010s talk shows, ranked from best to worst by user votes.
