FILMMAKER NATE BARLOW Interviewed
I have not met Nate Barlow in person, but I have spoken to him on the phone, and he was part of my interacting with Frank Beddor, producer of Something about Mary and author of the Looking Glass Wars. I viewed and I think reviewed his film with Adam West, and enjoyed it, and have always admired his desire to make film, to understand it, and to pursue it in a way that produces interesting and different content. So, I present to you an interview with friend, Nate Barlow.
Alex: What can film do that other media cannot? Is film the highest form of medium? If so, how so? Do you see film as ever being overtaken in such a consideration? For example, could an interactive video game or reality programming on television actually be able to get more deep in a viewer's mind than a film?
NATE BARLOW: Film provides spectacle, a shared experience, even a uniting one, and does all these simultaneously—all the more so viewed properly, on the big screen, larger than life as film was intended, with an audience culled from across the gamut of society. Other media simply cannot match film in those regards, maybe individual elements, but not the potency of combination. Game of Thrones brought a level of spectacle never before seen to television, but lacked the communal aspect of being watched together in a theater. Online gaming may be a "shared" experience, but I've yet to see one, no matter how great the graphics, that so completely transports one to another world as Star Wars. Partly due to the lack of big screen experience, but also partly due to the nature of the storytelling. Multi-threading is a skill in its own, but lacks the power of bringing all story elements to bear in single minded focus.
That having been said, as much as I love film (movies are my first love alongside books) I would not dare call it the highest form of media, though perhaps the one with the highest potential for greatness (again, alongside books). Each form of media serves a unique purpose and provides a unique experience. Film cannot match television in terms of extended storytelling with myriad arcs, but film's message can be more powerful and impactful in its conciseness and singular completeness. Video games can be shared, but rarely are done so in en masse in a single physical space. It's the same reason that sports are so much more thrilling in person than on TV. Even if (or should I say when) we reach the point of a fully immersive virtual world unmistakable from reality, since each individual's actions in that universe affect his or her unique perception of it, we will see a situation involving millions of smaller interconnected personal experiences, not a single larger shared event and the impact that delivers.
Alex: What have you done as a filmmaker to make yourself best able to enter the world of film? Is it by doing, by education, by watching the work of other filmmakers? What films have you personally created or assisted directly in making happen?
NATE: Watching movies is the single greatest training, for that teaches the artistry, maybe not explicitly, but at a subconscious level. I had the good fortune growing up of viewing many classic movies on the big screen, not just on video. My father taught at Wesleyan University, which has an amazing film studies program, and he would take me to see their weekly movie. Not every week, but often. I cannot stress enough how influential that experience was on me, both on my future art but even on the decision to become a filmmaker.
That is an education that continues throughout life, watching more and more films, whether on the big screen or at home.
My explicit understanding of the artistry I absorbed subconsciously came from a single filmmaking class I had the opportunity to take in college, followed by my subsequent reading on the matter. The actual mechanics I learned working on set, learning by doing, old school, almost apprenticeship style, as was back in the case of the Hollywood studio system prior to the advent of film schools.
I've worked mostly in the indie world. A lot of projects, many of which have received distribution, but not massive amounts of mainstream attention. The most notable to me, of course, are the ones where I was a principal team member, such as my directorial debut Tales From Beyond starring Adam West and Random Encounters with Abby Wathen, Michael Rady, and a then unknown Meghan Markle (a film that I wrote). Almost needless to say, Random Encounters received significant attention across the pond and even a re-release that roughly coincided with the royal wedding.
Alex: Speaking only of the concept of successful art, tell me five of the very best films ever to appear. I am not looking at popularity, nor even of awards. The answer can include television or advertisements or even propaganda films from the war years. How did you choose such a list, and are there perfectly made films that don't appeal to people?
NATE: That's a tough question. So many great films, for so many great reasons. So, in no particular order, and not necessarily the best five in my opinion, just five of the best:
Citizen Kane: Admittedly so commonly listed among the all-time great films as to be cliche, but inclusion that is always warranted. The ultimate character study, how a man becomes the man that he is. Perfect execution. The mystery of "Rosebud." And the final warehouse scene, one of the most influential scenes ever.
A Clockwork Orange: My other favorite character study. Alex is quite simply the greatest movie anti-hero. A chilling commentary on society and where the lines between the rights of the individual and the safety of the populace at large should be drawn. Many issue films fail for focusing too much on the issue and not enough on story; A Clockwork Orange does not. And the use of music is unparalleled.
The Wizard of Oz: Few films have captivated generations like Oz. Brilliant special effects, still fantastic to this very day even with all the advances in FX technology. The transition from sepia Kansa to Technicolor Oz, absolutely inspired. Cinema's most enduring song. The Wicked Witch is terrifying, Dorothy's companions relatable, Dorothy herself a part of all of us. Judy became an icon, the film the most watched movie of all time.
Pulp Fiction: I know a lot of people prefer Reservoir Dogs, but for me Pulp Fiction has always been Tarantino's best film, and, to my mind, his most important. Why? It brought the 1990s indie filmmaking revolution to the mainstream. The film had buzz that extended far beyond the normal radius of arthouse fare, launching independents into the public consciousness in a way they had not been previously. An absolutely killer script enhanced by excellent performances, a revolutionary film.
Raiders of the Lost Ark: A crowd pleaser? Yes. Popcorn fare? Undoubtedly. But pretty much the perfect action-adventure movie, often imitated—and considering cinema's overall shift towards such escapist fare, often truly means often—never duplicated, rarely even approached. Never a dull moment, but, more importantly, not lacking the other elements that make a film great. For better or for worse, it's influence on the future of movies cannot be denied, one of the reasons it makes this list.
The Godfather, Vertigo, La Dolce Vita, so many other films deserve to be listed, are even better films, but I wanted to pick a cross-section of different films for a gamut of reasons.
Unquestionably, many perfectly made films exist that simply don't appeal to people, for a plethora of reasons. Some content is unpleasant to watch, no matter how well executed (although those that succeed in that matter, like A Clockwork Orange, stand out all the more for their success). Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom is a perfect example, a movie so horrific as to be almost unwatchable, but well-constructed and scathing in its commentary.
Alex: I've no interest in poking fingers in the eye of any director or producer, but, maybe the movie viewing public here. Are there films that succeed due to the public love of subject, while films that are brilliant made by or with lesser names that get no love? I am asking this as I hear often how taste and quality dovetail in the end in recognition with awards. Do the awards get it right even if the audience does not?
NATE: Absolutely. Look at the current swell of comic book movies, which go beyond even the business of star-driven projects purely to subject, the highest of high concept. They do have their place—movies have always provided escapism—but they do grow oh-so-repetitive, all but the best of them failing to break new ground, and those that do so only by masking deeper goals under that guise.
Beyond the comic book crop, Hollywood has always been star-driven, which situation has nothing to do with the quality of the filmmaking. So, yes, brilliant movies are often overlooked in the shuffle. Indie films have always fought that battle. Fortunately the rise of streaming services has provided a new outlet for smaller films. Indeed, documentaries have entered a golden age thanks to streaming and the ability to find niche audiences financially unfeasible to reach otherwise.
Do awards get it right? More or less. Not always the most worthy film in a specific category, but at least one worthy of note. Indeed, it's the one area where Hollywood does not kowtow to public whim and the almighty dollar. This has everything to do with the artists voting on the awards as opposed to uncreative MBAs only interested in the bottom line. History has shown, though, that audiences will support quality work. It takes more work to position and market lower concept or niche films, and the balance between budget and box office is more delicate, so really it's laziness on the part of executives, not audience disinterest that is the problem. Such films have lower budgets and thus actually represent lower financial risk, but since the work to take them to the ideal market is greater and the potential return on investment less (no matter how much more likely that smaller maximum positive is to achieve), studios favor what they believe to be "easy" crowd pleasers.
Alex: What projects are you working on now, how might my readers find you online, and if you could make a film with your having any talent involved, no budget worries, and absolute ability to get it made and watched, what kind of film would you want to make?
NATE: My two primary projects at the moment are two documentaries. The first is an experimental short on the Hollywood Sign that I directed entitled A Brief History of Hollywood which has been playing film festivals around the world. The other is a feature that I co-produced about the craft of scotch whisky entitled The Water of Life. We are currently self-distributing that movie to our core audience of whisky drinkers before taking it to streaming services and other distributors for a wider audience.
Of course, I have many other projects at various stages of development and/or completion. I'm currently writing two books, rewriting one screenplay and packaging another to shoot, and researching yet another documentary on an early silent film production company.
You can find me online at NateBarlow.com or on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.
If I could make my dream project without any strings attached, it'd be a big-budget studio spectacle, either a historical epic or a fantasy/sci-fi world. That ability to create—or recreate—a universe, to transport viewers someplace or some time they've never been, is simply magical, and something that film does better than any other medium.

An afternoon game on Tuesday, February 5 demonstrated that adjusting game-play to ice conditions is an important skill in curling.
The Curling Saints started off well. Good guards and draws by lead Eddie Hao and second Colby Jackson, sweeping and strategic suggestions by Vice Nick Cruickshanks, and end-saving take outs by Skip Nova Schmidt saw SAC slowly pull ahead 3-0 by half-time.
However, the curlers from Toronto French School were becoming familiar with the ice and found the weight and the aim to tie the game with three points in the fourth end. A lucky ricocheting hammer rock saved the fifth end for the Saints despite earlier missed opportunities. TFS's growing comfort with the ice and some wide throws by SAC contributed to the game ending in a 4-4 tie. Two rounds of tie-breaking draws to the button by the respective skips ended in favour of TFS.
The SAC Open Team hits the sheets again on Monday, February 11 at Bradford Community Centre against Havergal College.

The Blue Eyed Shark Experiment - The Fluffer Album Review

Review of The Fluffer Album by The Blue Eyed Shark Experiment
If you're hoping for a straight up generic record that holds no surprises and blends into the background, then The Fluffer is not for you!
From the off it's a theatrical affair swamped in adventurous production and musicianship that overloads the listener with a cocktail of sounds noises and damn right barmy samples.
Opener The Fluffer has moments that have a lot in common with any Muse record of the past. This is all before breaking off into a spooky sounding romp that wouldn't be out of place at a French circus.
The Pace of this record is impossible to tie down, Goodbye my little friend proving this point from the off, contrasting with the Fluffer, it bursts from sombre to euphoric in no time at all, mixing emotions and sounds along the way.
There are also an array of genres on show here, folk, straight up acoustic pop are on display and there's even a dance record slapped in there for good measure. It would be safe to say that Jet Plane is the most out of place track on any album in recording history, following eight fairly gentle acoustic tracks, it bursts out like..er.. well like a jet plane to be honest, without any prior warning. That's not a bad thing however, surprises are always welcome, however surprises as dated as this are better off left on the studio floor. Sounding more like a cheap Pet Shop Boys B-side, it doesn't really do the Fluffer any justice at all. However this slight blip is quickly forgotten and the album gets back on track with Rain, which like most tracks on the Fluffer is a piano based track and follows a Beatles esque avenue with its melody and chorus.
It would be criminal not to mention Look Back, by far the albums stand out track, its pace is consistent. Driven by acoustic instruments, it allows more attention to focus on the heartfelt vocals that sooth throughout. Ultimately this record is an experiment that has most certainly worked. Never stopping to catch breath, it's a continuous journey that you will find hard to step away from.

It was quite humbling to be the concertmaster of an orchestra I consider to be one of the finest in America. There are certainly more famous orchestras with lengthy pedigrees and impressive reputations, and I've played with several. But it was a genuine privilege to regularly work with first-rate musicians of the highest caliber on a day-to-day basis, for 25 years. The commitment and exemplary standards of the MSO musicians and the overall trajectory of the institution stand as a model for this industry now, and it is gratifying to be a part of it. I will miss this role immensely, but remain with the orchestra as an Artistic Advisor.

People Poison Pill
Daniel Liberto is a journalist with over 10 years of experience working with publications such as the Financial Times, The Independent, and Investors Chronicle.
Katrina Munichiello
Fact checked by Katrina Munichiello
Katrina ?vila Munichiello is an experienced editor, writer, fact-checker, and proofreader with more than fourteen years of experience working with print and online publications.
What Is a People Poison Pill?
A people poison pill is a defensive strategy designed to deter or prevent unwanted takeovers from happening. Once an unwelcomed approach is made to assume control of the target company, its management team reacts by signing a pact vowing to all resign if the deal somehow gets completed.
The people pill strategy is a variation of the poison pill defense.
A people poison pill is one of several defensive strategies a company may pursue to prevent an unwanted takeover.
The target company's management team threatens to all resign if a takeover it doesn't want goes ahead.
If all the individuals responsible for the target company's success quit, the acquirer may reconsider pursuing a deal.
Such measures will only prove discouraging if the bidding party actually plans to keep the existing management.
Understanding a People Poison Pill
Acquisitions, the process where one company purchases control of another, occur all the time. Sometimes, the board of directors (B of D), a group of individuals elected to represent shareholders, will be happy to listen to bids. On other occasions, it may be completely against the idea of getting taken over and rebuff any proposals presented to it.
When faced with resistance, the interested party could either give up and move on or dig its heels in and engage in a fight. Should takeover advances turn hostile, companies have several tools at their disposal to safeguard their position and potentially prevent a deal from happening.
One of them is a people poison pill. A variation of the poison pill or shareholders' protection rights plans, this strategy involves modifying the corporate charter and asking all key executives to resign in the event of a takeover.
If a private equity firm wants to take a failing public company private to improve its operations and profitability, then a people poison pill will not work, as current management will bring no added value.
The logic here is that if all the individuals responsible for the target company's success quit, the acquirer may have second thoughts about still pursuing a deal. Of course, such measures will only prove discouraging if the bidding party actually plans to keep the existing management.
History of a People Poison Pill
The first use of the people poison pill anti-takeover strategy is attributed to the Borden Corporation. In 1989, the food company's B of D approved a people poison pill, ensuring that any bidder who tried to take it over on the cheap or planned to fire somebody would be forced to deal with a potentially crippling exodus of all of Borden's key staff.
In exchange for signing contracts pledging to join the pact, Borden executives were promised a stock option grant and some received additional cash in their severance packages, called golden parachutes.
Types of Poison Pills
A people poison pill is just one type of poison pill: a category of anti-takeover measures tasked with making acquisition advances difficult to swallow and potentially deadly. Like most other takeover defenses, poison pills strive to reduce the desirability of the target company until corporate predators lose interest and go away.
Other forms of poison pills include:
Suicide pill: The prey, as a last resort, engages in self-destructive measures to put off its suitor, favoring potential bankruptcy over the prospect of a takeover occurring.
Flip-in poison pill: Shareholders, other than the acquirer, are offered the chance to buy additional stock in a company targeted for takeover at a discount, thereby diluting the value of the shares already purchased by the acquiring company.
Poison put: The target company issues a bond that investors can redeem before its maturity date, thus increasing the cost a company will incur to acquire it.

Poison Pill: A Defense Strategy and Shareholder Rights Plan
The poison pill is a tactic public companies sometimes use to deter a hostile takeover.
Hostile Takeover Explained: What It Is, How It Works, Examples
A hostile takeover is the acquisition of one company by another without approval from the target company's management.
Macaroni Defense
The macaroni defense is an anti-takeover measure whereby a company issues a large number of bonds that must be redeemed at a high price if it is acquired.
Suicide Pill
A suicide pill is a defensive strategy that involves a company desperate to prevent a hostile takeover adopting measures that drive it to bankruptcy.
Scorched Earth Policy
A scorched earth policy is a strategy designed to deter a hostile takeover by making the target company unattractive to the potential acquirer.
'Just Say No' Defense
A "just say no" defense is a strategy used by boards of directors to discourage hostile takeovers by rejecting the takeover bid outright.

Can anybody speak to the pros and cons of ADO vs DAO? I've been using DAO for several years and am trying to convert to ADO/ADOX. I keep running into problems using ADO and am wondering if the move is worth the trouble. Are there significant advantages to using ADO that I am not seeing? If I don't find any convincing arguments, I'm going to move back to DAO ... it's not the fastest, but it seems more stable and easier to work with. My primary development environment is Access XP and I write lots of VBA code.
Under most conditions, DAO is 1.5 to 3 times faster than ADO. Of course, MS is done with DAO, so ADO is the future. For now, stay with DAO. Maybe play with ADO so that you get familar with it.
I think you may be right ... ADO is presenting more problems than forward compatibility is worth (in this project anyway).


I need to put more "speed" in my "speedpaints".
So cool! I really like the hare! One can easily imagine the wind pushing the grain down and the energy rippling through the air.
Used your image in a short post about magickal/spiritual paths.
Full credits for sure. Wish you allow it.
Sounds like Radagast from the Hobbit..
Looks freakin' awesome! Everything in this picture screams great power. Really great job.
That bunny... seems suspicious. Great idea though, I go check the barbarian and the monolith now.
whoa...to say your skills are accelerating is an understatement. Very nice work here.
Looks like something out of "the Dresden Files". Very cool.
Well, you may not have got the speed down, but let me tell you, you've definitely got the 'paint'. Beautiful work. I especially like the fattening of the grass and also the uniqueness of a hare as a totem animal.
Before the rabbit it was missing something. I had recently read an article on the "three hares" motif and presto! Bunny.
I love the mood. The lighting is so wonderful.


The life of Andréanne Leblanc, a paramedic who treated the wounded after the January 2017 mosque shooting in Quebec City, came unravelled in the months that followed the attack. Her mother blames untreated PTSD.
The mother of a Quebec City paramedic found dead just over a year after treating wounded victims of the Jan. 29, 2017 mosque shooting spree wants more help for people like her daughter suffering post-traumatic stress.
Andréanne Leblanc, 31, was found dead in March, dressed in her paramedic's uniform. She was on duty that frigid January night when she received the urgent call to head to the mosque in the city's Sainte-Foy district.
Lucie Roy, Leblanc's mother, is going public with her grief in the hope her daughter's death will push public health authorities and ambulance operators to take post-traumatic stress disorder more seriously.
"When she did this [took her own life], she wore her paramedic's uniform," Roy said in an interview from her home in the Magdalen Islands.
"It was a clear message telling us that she loved her job, but it was difficult."
The shooter, who court testimony said was seeking "glory," killed six men, seriously wounded another six and threatened the lives of about 40 people, children included, who'd gathered there for evening prayers.
Leblanc's task was to treat the wounded aboard her ambulance as they were rushed to hospital.
Leblanc, in that final gesture, wanted to send the message that paramedics save lives, "but maybe someone should take care of them, as well," Roy said.
"What led her to this torment was post-traumatic stress that was not caught in time," said Roy.
First responders must have available, and must accept, the help they need, she said.
"Paramedics think they should be able to stand up to [PTSD]," Roy said. "But they are humans, too."
A couple of days after the mosque shooting, Andréanne Leblanc received about one hour of counselling.
André Tremblay-Roy, the vice-president of his local of the paramedics union and a friend of Leblanc's, said she never wanted to talk about that night.
Tremblay-Roy said before the mosque shooting, Leblanc was an outgoing, athletic person, up to any challenge.
However, when he would try to broach the subject of the attack, she turned evasive, he said, telling him, "I'm OK."
"I realize that all my colleagues need help sometimes," he said. "But paramedics have this kind of badge, this kind of label that they are superheroes."
"I have pictures in my head that will remain with me for the rest of my life," he said, referring to his own traumatic experiences on the job.
Lucie Roy said that in addition to the mosque shooting, her daughter had to deal with three suicides in four years of fellow paramedics in Quebec City and Pointe-à-la-Croix in the Gaspé, where she used to work with Tremblay-Roy.
Roy said one hour of counselling after the mosque shooting was not enough.
Leblanc continued to work as a paramedic after the mosque attack, Roy said, but she found her full-time job in Quebec City stressful and took a job as an on-call paramedic in Rimouski, thinking it would be less demanding.
But being on call all the time meant few nights of uninterrupted sleep, her mother said.
Roy visited her daughter often that final summer and found her increasingly tired, worn out and stressed. She also suffered a back injury, and her personal life came undone.
"It was one thing after the other that led to her stopping work," Roy said.
By September, Roy said, her behaviour was completely changed, and she couldn't recognize her daughter.
"You would say something to her, and she wouldn't remember. She was hyperactive, hyper-aware, much more irritable."
Although Leblanc was never diagnosed with PTSD, for Roy, who worked in health care, all her symptoms pointed to it.
"She didn't at all have the same personality. She would have mood swings for no apparent reason."
At this point, Leblanc lived in fear that the phone would ring and she would be called to an emergency situation, her mother said.
"She was no longer able to go on," Roy said. "She did consult someone, and she was put on a sick leave."
The young woman returned to her mother's home on the Magdalen Islands, but by that point, insomnia compounded her woes.
"She was very agitated. When she couldn't sleep, she would get up in the middle of the night to read and do all sorts of things.
"It was like a downward spiral," Roy said.
Without a family doctor on the islands, Leblanc went to a walk-in clinic for help, but waiting times and the shortage of medical specialists on the Magdalens meant she did not get the counselling she needed.
Vince Savoia, executive director of the Tema Conter Memorial Trust, a national foundation that helps public safety workers cope with trauma and costs of psychiatric treatment, said intervention plans should be mandatory and held on a regular basis, not only following major events.
"First responders view themselves as the fixers, and when they can't fix it, that's when they start to have issues," said Savoia, who dealt with his own PTSD in the 1990s.
He also deplores that Quebec's workplace safety board, contrary to other provinces, requires workers to prove without a doubt that their distress is linked to a single event, within six months of it happening.
"You add to the anxiety, depression, fear and anger, the financial responsibility that these people can't meet, that's just a recipe for disaster in the making," he said.
The École national de police du Québec, Quebec's police academy, has developed a program to help police and fire fighters deal with PTSD.
Donald Gilbert, general manager of the Corporation des services ambulanciers du Québec, said about 200 supervisors or paramedics have followed the PTSD training course.
But Quebec has a shortage of paramedics, making it difficult for individuals to take time to do the course.
"Each time we bring a paramedic in the classroom for two days, there are fewer paramedics in the field to serve the population," Gilbert said.
Lucie Roy said the program should be offered to all first responders in the province. More should be hired; they should be better paid and recognized for the vital role they play.
"They are on the front line," she said. "They are the ones who take the patient to the hospital and often, with the care they provide, by the time they get to the hospital their life has already been saved."
Coroner Jean-Pierre Chamberland is investigating the circumstance of Andréanne Leblanc's death and could issue recommendations to the government or the industry.
Alexandre Bissonnette, the mosque shooter, entered guilty pleas to the six charges of premeditated murder and an additional six charges of attempted murder with a restricted weapon. He is expected to be sentenced next September.
If you're worried someone you know may be at risk of suicide, you should talk to them, says the Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention.
An earlier version of this story said incorrectly that Andréanne Leblanc died weeks after treating wounded victims of the Jan. 29, 2017 mosque shooting spree. In fact, she was found dead 14 months after the shootings.

What do you know about Siberia?
30 Sep What do you know about Siberia?
Posted at 11:47h in Russian cities, Trans-Siberian Railway Tour	by	ruslan.bets 0 Comments
No matter whether you are going to make the Trans-Siberian railway trip or you are just interested in the Russian landscapes, geography and nature, Siberia remains for most a remote place somewhere in Russia.
What comes to your mind when you hear "Siberia"? Cold, winter, snow, and that it's far, far away…? All true! But Siberia is much more than this! It has amazing wildlife, stunning landscapes, fantastic people, diverse culture and dramatic history. It's mysterious and tempting. Boost your Siberian knowledge with the list of 13 most important, fun and interesting facts we prepared for you!
1. Where is Siberia?
Siberia may refer to Siberian Federal District (of Russia) or Russian Siberia but the widest definition and most common use is the geographical region, in which Siberia extends from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east and southward from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central Kazakhstan and the borders of Mongolia and China. Siberia is, definitely, on the list of the must-see places to visit in Russia.
2. How big is Siberia?
13.1 million square more than 3/4 of the Russian territory. It's 20 times bigger than France and 50 times bigger than the United Kingdom! The territory of Siberia is bigger than any country on a map. Siberia is covering almost 10% of the world's landmass.
Siberia literally is the same size as Canada! Do you still have any doubts that it is a great place to visit in Russia?
3. How many people live in Siberia?
Although Siberia is 77% of Russia, it has only 27% of its population – a bit less than 40 million people. Living conditions in Siberia are pretty tough and many young people often move to other parts of Russia or abroad, so the population is expected to gradually decrease.
4. What does "Siberia" mean?
Some claim that the word "Siberia" originates from the old Turkic word for "sleeping land" or "beautiful land", others say it means "wild land" and some suggest it comes from Russian "sever" (North).
We personally like the "beautiful land" 🙂 The beauty of Siberian nature certainly makes it one of the best places to visit in Russia.
5. Since when is Siberia part of Russia?
The process of Russians conquering the Khanate of Siberia and the whole North of Asia (an area much larger than the old khanate, which is now known as Siberia) took place in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Russians reached the Pacific Ocean in 1639.
6. What is the weather in Siberia like?
Think Siberia think cold. Yes, winter lives up to its reputation. From November to February the whole Siberia is covered with snow, even 80 cm deep.
Lake Baikal is completely frozen for a few months, so not only you can walk there, but it's common to drive on Baikal with a car. Siberia among all the places to visit in Russia stands out for its weather challenges.
The temperature in Siberia drops to -40 degrees Celsius and in some parts it reaches even -60, for example in Oymyakon, the world's coldest permanently inhabited town. But guess what, Siberia has summer too! It's short (lasts max 3 months) but the temperature can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius, giving the region one of the world's greatest temperature variations. Probably no one can appreciate summer as much as people from Siberia do!
7. What is the highest point in Siberia?
There are several mountain ranges in Siberia, including Ural Mountains (which separate Europe from Asia), Baikal Mountains over the northwestern shore of Lake Baikal and the Altai Mountains, where Irtysh and Ob have their headwaters, popular among mountain climbers.
The highest point in Siberia is, however, the active volcano Klyuchevskaya Sopka, on the Kamchatka Peninsula (4,649 meters). This makes Siberia one of the great places to visit in Russia for any mountain lover.
8. What is the deepest lake in Siberia?
Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in Siberia but it's not the only record that Lake Baikal is famous for. Lake Baikal is also the deepest and the oldest one in the world. Just imagine if we measure the depth of Lake Baikal from the top of the mountains surrounding Lake Baikal to the thick bottom of the lake, it will 12,977 meters!
Lake Baikal has the thickest bottom silt in the world – 8500 meters! It contains 20% of the world's total unfrozen freshwater reserve and this fact also makes Lake Baikal so special. When the lake freezes during the winter, an amazing phenomenon takes place: the ice is transparent, giving the amazing appearance of turquoise ice.
These are some incredible facts about the Pearl of Siberia as most of the people call Lake Baikal, but for some people, these facts are not as important as the feeling of infinite freedom, unity with the wildlife and contemplation of the eternal realm of primeval wisdom that can be found while traveling across Lake Baikal.
9. What is the longest river of Siberia?
The longest river in Siberia, and in the whole Russia, is the Yenisei-Angara-Selenge River system, which is 5,539 km long. According to the legend, Angara is a daughter of Lake Baikal. One day Angara run away to her boyfriend – Yenisei. Her father became so angry that he hit her with a rock, she stumbled and fell. Angara asked for forgiveness but her father said, she would only get his tears. That's why waters flowing from the Angara into the Yenisei are as clear as tears, and lonely Father Baikal became grey and suffering.
10. What's the biggest city in Siberia?
The biggest city in Siberia is Novosibirsk (with 1,5 million population), followed by Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tyumen, Barnaul, and Irkutsk. Novosibirsk is also the fastest growing city in the world, and for sure one of the places to visit in Russia.
11. Who lives in Siberia?
Most Siberians are Russians and Russified Ukrainians. Apart from them, about one-twentieth of the population consists of aboriginal groups.
The largest indigenous group in Siberia are the Buryats, mainly concentrated in their homeland, the Buryat Republic. We also shouldn't forget about all the animals inhabiting the area.
Siberia is a hotspot for biodiversity and wildlife! Numerous species live there, and unfortunately, many are endangered ones, including tigers, leopards, bears, eagles, sheep, salmon.
12. What is katorga, ssylka and Gulag?
You have probably heard all these words before – katorga, ssylka and Gulag are terms associated with exile and forced labor camps in the Soviet Russia, many located in Siberia.
Gulag was the governmental agency, which administrated the Soviet forced labor camps, and was the main instrument of political repression in the USSR.
Katorga was forced labor or penal servitude, the harshest punishment, usually with a sentence of a decade or more, which often meant death.
Ssylka (exile) involved different types of banishment, for example it required the victim to live in one of the towns in Siberia under police control. If you're interested in this topic, read "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, winner of the Nobel Prize.
13. When was the Trans-Siberian Railway constructed?
The Trans-Siberian Railway (Transsibirskaya Magistral) was built at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, under the supervision of Tsar Alexander III and Nikolas II. It is the longest railway line in the world, connecting Moscow with the easternmost points of Russia and the Sea of Japan.
The journey from Moscow to Vladivostok takes one week. The Trans-Siberian Railway is, until today, one of the most convenient and most reliable means of transportation in the region.
Read more about one of the most scenic railway rides in the world in our Essential guide for Trans-Siberian Railway trip.
14. Why should you visit Siberia?
Siberia occupies a huge territory, which includes almost every kind of habitat found in the northern latitudes with a wide variety of climatic conditions and geographic landscapes. Which means – there are countless reasons to come and countless things to do there! Siberia is great for nature and active tourism.
You can do mountain climbing in Altay Mountains, rock climbing in Stolby, volcano climbing in the Kuril Islands or Kamchatka, wildlife tracking in national reserves or hiking across the frozen waters of Baikal. Learning from Siberian life directly from Buryats, discovering shamanism, spending cold evenings in Russian banya (sauna) and tasting local delicious food will also make your stay unforgettable!

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier dog breed was developed to be a farm dog in Ireland. Like other Terrier Dog Breeds they had the task of hunting vermin. Farmers also found that they made good herding dogs and guard dogs.
The Wheaten is a medium sized dog breed standing 18 – 20 inches (46-50 cm) and weighing 30 – 40 pounds. They have long coats that are quite soft and silky. Generally they need a lot of brushing and grooming because their long coats tend to pick up everything. The coats are always a wheaten color (hence the name!).
This is a very affectionate breed of dog that is quite good with children. They love strangers and need to be taught not to jump up on them. And they are good with other pets.
Wheatens are a playful breed with average energy. They are a bit stubborn (like most Terriers) but are not terribly difficult to train (about average).
They are great jumpers and are quite curious. That combined with their hunting instinct makes them a constant danger for escaping from the back yard!

DRUUMM Regional Conference January 17-19, 2014
Diverse, Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries (DRUUMM)* will present a full weekend Regional Conference January 17-19, 2014 at First Unitarian Universalist Church in San Diego, California. "Creating Family in Community" is the theme that sets the stage for intergenerational exploration of the ways we examine, redefine and name ourselves in relationship to others. In a spirit of openness and welcoming we build the beloved community, sometimes grappling with the tough issues of oppression and privilege, but always circling back to the ways we celebrate together with love, joy and compassion.
Friday night opens with a joyous celebration open to everyone. Hosted by poet and spoken word artist, Christopher D. Sims, the evening will feature an all ages line-up of local and imported poets, spoken word artists, musicians, and dramatists. Performers will have an opportunity to garner donations for their organizations that are in alignment with the vision of DRUUMM as we seek to build a meaningful anti-racist, anti-oppressive multicultural, multiracial community. Refreshments will be served at a late evening reception.
Saturday will be a day filled with workshops and identity caucuses for DRUUMM members and friends. Anyone is welcome who self-identifies as a Person of Color (not considered "White" in the USA, such as people with African, Asian/ Pacific Islander, Latino/Latina/ Chicano/Chicana/ Hispanic, Native American/ Indian/ First Nations, West Indian/ Caribbean, Middle Eastern, or multiracial heritage), or who has encountered personal oppression in overt or subtle forms because he or she appears to be of a racial or ethnic identity other than White or Anglo/European.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided. Saturday night's family gathering dinner will give multicultural, multiracial families of many definitions and configurations an opportunity to relax and unwind together followed by some fun music and our best dance moves as we venture out to enjoy some of the sights and sounds of San Diego.
A bevy of DRUUMM ministers from across the country will preach at all three worship services on Sunday, 9:30 and 11:30 at the Hillcrest Campus and 9:30 at the South Bay Campus. All are welcome to attend. This remarkable event will reach even further in deepening our connections and understanding at a Sunday community luncheon and forum where the congregations will share their reflections with each other and then bid farewell to enjoy the beautiful San Diego region before heading home.
Registration fees and other details will be announced soon. The conference is partially sponsored by the church's ROAR with SOUL (A Journey Toward Wholeness Transformation Team) – We Resist Oppression And Racism with a Spirit of Openness, Understanding and Love.

Mercedes Benz EQA electric car prototype spotted ahead of launch
- May. 18th 2020 3:56 pm PT
We get our best look at the new Mercedes Benz EQA electric car as two prototypes are spotted ahead of the launch.
In 2017, the German automaker unveiled the EQA concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show. It was a compact hatchback.
At the time, Mercedes-Benz claimed an impressive powertrain consisting of a battery pack of "up to 60kWh" for a "real-world range" of 400 km (250 miles, but on NEDC, so likely closer to 200 miles EPA range), dual motors with over 268hp (200kW), and all-wheel drive delivering 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in around 5 seconds.
They also said that it had DC quick charging capable of adding 100 km (62 miles) of range in 10 minutes.
Last year, Mercedes-Benz changed strategy for the EQA and made the vehicle a crossover.
We have previously seen camouflaged prototypes since the change to a small crossover, but now we get our best look at the Mercedes Benz EQA, as two prototypes with very little camouflaged has been spotted testing in Germany:
The two vehicles spotted by YouTuber WalkoART give us our best look at what we believe will be the production version of the electric crossover:
In 2018, Daimler invested around $600 million to produce the new EQA compact electric car at their factory in France, where they will be using their experience building electric smart cars.
Mercedes-Benz previously said that the production version of the EQA would be revealed in 2020 for deliveries shortly after, but it's unclear how the plans have been affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The automaker has been indicating that they plan to move forward with their transition to an electric vehicle, despite the more financial pressure created by the pandemic.
Electrek's Take
I was looking forward to having an electric hatchback option in the luxury segment, but I am warming up to this crossover format.
It's hard to understand the size of the Mercedes-Benz EQA at this point. I am not sure it's going to be big enough to compete with the Tesla Model Y and other small electric SUVs entering the segment, but we will see.
The fact that automakers are currently rushing to release electric options in the highly popular small SUV/crossover segment probably pushed the German automaker to transition the EQA from a hatchback to something with a higher stance.
What do you think? Let us know in the comment section below.

olafur eliasson presents the unspeakable openness of things as part of his first solo exhibition in beijing. the extensive exhibit comprises an array of large-scale immersive installations, sculptures and works on paper by eliasson with each space conjuring a discrete environment dedicated to a specific natural phenomenon, such as light, fog, shadow, water, geometry, and movement.

as the visitor moves through the galleries, they pass through a series of immersive environments beginning with the intense light of the unspeakable openness of things (2018), which was created by eliasson especially for the site. the large scale work comprises a giant ring of light which casts an warmly saturated orange light upon the space. it comes after a report earlier this year revealed that china has issued an 'orange alert' for beijing and other cities, which is the second highest warning in its four-tier air quality monitoring system.
the little sun
eliasson is known for his large-scale works that adopt elemental materials such as light, water, and air temperature to engage with the viewer's perception of space. he often plays with natural phenomena, drawing attention to social issues, including alternative energy and climate change. in 2012, he debuted little sun, a small solar-powered lantern aimed at increasing the everyday accessibility of alternative energy.

Many children are victimized by physical, sexual or emotional abuse. The emotional types of abuse can be as devastating as the other forms. This psychological mistreatment can include verbal cruelty, coldness from the parent or caregiver, threats, intentional corruption of the young one, rejection and abandonment. Any child can become a victim of abuse, regardless of economic or social background. The causes of emotional abuse are varied, complicated and may be multiple in nature.
The abuser's own childhood can often influence how he treats his own children. Parents and other caregivers model behaviors from their background, which means the victimized children may grow up to be abusers themselves. If a parent was emotionally abused as a child, he may emotionally abuse his child. Professional therapy may be necessary to break the cycle of abuse.
Substance abuse can contribute to a caregiver's tendency to emotionally abuse the child under her care. Overuse of mind-altering drugs, including alcohol, prescription medications and street drugs can contribute to a person's propensity to emotionally violate a child. When someone is under the influence of a substance, he is more likely to ignore a child, make inappropriate comments or verbally lash out in ways he would abstain from when sober.
One common cause of emotional abuse of children is a parent's undiagnosed mental illness. When someone has an illness of the mind, including a personality disorder such as manic depression, she may lash out at a child due to her own suffering. The caregiver's illness may make her withdrawn and, thereby, emotionally unavailable to her children. Certain mental illnesses can cause paranoia, which can extend to a parent suspecting a child of plotting against her. Once the abuser is diagnosed and adequately treated, she may be able to care for her child more appropriately.
Stress can cause parents and other caregivers to psychologically mistreat children. Someone under a high degree of worry finds it difficult to deal with the needs and desires of young people under his care. Life stressors ,such as financial worry, relationship concerns and difficulties on the job, can exhaust a caregiver to the point where he has little to offer his children. He may take his anger from his own problems out on his children by verbally abusing them.
One often unacknowledged cause of parental abuse is inappropriate expectations of children. Some parents have unrealistic beliefs about how children should behave and achieve. When a child fails to live up to these exaggerated ideals, the parent may react by isolating the child, treating him coldly or placing even more expectations on her. These are all abusive reactions, though many parents fail to recognize them as such. For example, a parent may insist on perfect grades, and when the child's marks fall short, he may require impossible amounts of studying from the child and punish him by restricting all social activities. A parent often believes his reaction is appropriate but his response can be emotionally harmful to his child.
Caring for children comes naturally to many, but often an adult needs to learn how to effectively parent her children. Some parents do not know how to handle the physical and emotional needs of their children. These parents may not understand how to discipline their children without being abusive. The Helpguide.org website reveals many people, such as teen parents, do not realize how much care and attention children require until they are faced with the everyday job of providing appropriate care. Fortunately, most communities offer parenting classes and support groups for those who need to learn how to adequately care for children.
