The driver acts as an auto technician and moonlights as a criminal escape driver. He was attracted to Irene and he remembers him and his child, although he is unusual, all consider it to be considered as a suitable creator, to help half of Erin's half to help, which only exits from prison. The thing started badly and the driver accidentally ended up with the end result. It was extremely awesome to cast me quickly to see this picture. Mr. Almost close to Gosling, we have Keri Mulligan who left me a complete ruin on destructive enthusiast Never Let Me Go. Sadly, in the drive, his character does not allow any wisdom to be shown.
As well as the partner part Brian Cranston has done a great job as a great bite and repairer. Supporting other exceptional names in the cast included Ron Perlin and genuinely recognized Christina Hendricks, who is one million miles away from Mad Man's part. So it's a cast that seepages with potential and potential. They really offered some people something to do more and I was frustrated by the empty vacations of the bathing, despite all they did enough work. Although the lead character will be as cool as an extraordinarily obscure saint, I might want to see more energy in his face off-off scope.
This picture has a hundred atrocities which seems straight from the textbook of Tarantino and that I have never been away from showing bloodshed scenes, yet I do not feel the voice of the barbarians to execute the execution. Surely the wicked It does not feel unnecessary, but it does not just coordinate the voice. Despite having an intestine, it is a quiet film, once chosen a choice and is exciting and others feel helpless and irrelevant.
The existence of fantasy pop is 'an actual person and a genuine legend' flew two or three times, and he easily appealed to me to oppose the cathartic closure that was going on. I do not like to give too much status, but as far as possible the activity can be much more streamlined and feel a bit longer. Honestly, I felt somewhat forgiving. It is upscale and very clean. It seems funny still does not require results. It's a tough emotional work and I absolutely understand its joy and I respect his brave quiets.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric car range: Why the short circuit?

The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace, a city boy, and range anxiety
Kirk Bell December 28, 2018
Electric vehicles aren't made for me. It's not that I'm not for them. My circumstances just don't fit with the realities of charging. I live in Chicago, in a 100-year-old apartment building converted to condominiums 17 years ago. I have a spot in a parking lot behind the building, but no means of charging an electric car. So, when I took delivery of a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace test car recently, the range anxiety had already begun. The EPA says the I-Pace has a 234-mile range, which seems short given its 90-kwh battery. As my experience with the I-Pace would seem to attest...

Jaguar delivers first I-Pace electric crossover in North America
Bengt Halvorson October 16, 2018
Jaguar confirmed its first retail delivery of the I-Pace electric crossover Monday, a few weeks ahead of the company's early November target for retail sales. The I-Pace isn't late, but a vehicle like it has been a long time coming. It's the first of what we can rightfully call a rival to the Tesla Model S fastback sedan and Model X crossover, more than six years since deliveries of the Tesla Model S began, and about three years since an overdue Model X, Falcon-wing doors and all, reached first customers. Along with the first sale, Jaguar finally released an official EPA...

To the world's surprise, the first all-electric luxury utility vehicle to follow the Tesla Model X into production did not come from the German makes of Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz. Instead, it arrived from that trio's smaller, scrappier British rival, Jaguar Land Rover. The 2019 Jaguar...

Jaguar I-Pace beats Tesla Model X in electric car drag-race video
The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace SUV that debuted Thursday beat all the German luxury makes to the punch in launching a viable competitor to the looks and capabilities of electric cars offered by Tesla. The 14-year-old Silicon Valley startup has attracted huge attention for the stunning acceleration of its cars, particularly the "P" performance versions. Now Jaguar has waded right into that fray.

Posted on January 27, 2006 by Alicia Bay Laurel	in Blog.
In October 2003, I was signing Living on the Earth books at the Bioneers Conference, an annual weekend event in Marin County, California, that brings together thousands of activists working toward a sustainable world, to witness a panoply of educational presentations. At the table next to mine, Jerry Mander and John Cavanaugh, co-chairs of the International Forum on Globalization, were signing their book, Alternatives to Economic Globalization. We made friends and traded books.
I began reading their book the following December. Don't be fooled by the dry title; this one's a page-turner. It links together all of today's issues—from global warming to in the invasion of Iraq to the AIDS epidemic in Africa to the attempted private sector takeover of Social Security—and places them in the context of a single looming menace: giant multi-national corporations that consider themselves above the law of any land. Indeed, if they find a country's laws an impediment to their profit making, they will impose trade sanctions until those democratically created laws are repealed. We're talking laws about environmental protections, food safety, labor, and monopoly.
The global conglomerates seek to control public water supplies around the world. Those who cannot afford the market price go thirsty, as do their crops. This assists in the corporations in herding cheap labor off the land and into their factories, while global corporations acquire the land for mono-crop agriculture exclusively for export—where self-sufficient agricultural communities had existed for thousands of years. Result: famine.
Some things were not meant ever to be owned by a single individual or organization. These are what Mander and Cavanaugh call "the Commons"—that which belongs to all and shared for the common good, including clean air and water, wilderness, biodiversity, the air waves (radio and TV), the basic human rights to medical care, education, and food safety.
What can we citizens do to protect the Commons, and to avert the social and environmental tragedies being promulgated by international administrative bodies that favor multi-national corporations over the needs of the people and the environment?
We can start by getting informed. Everyone from high school on up should read Alternatives to Economic Globalization. You can easily order one for $15.95 from Berrett-Koehler Publishers in Vermont at (800) 929-2929. Bulk discounts are available.
We all need truthful daily news, and one can find it online at www.commondreams.org, www.buzzflash.com, www.alternet.org, www.truthout.org, and www.tompaine.com.
We can speak out, calling and writing our representatives in Washington DC, writing letters to print publications, posting on web logs, talking with friends, and joining in public demonstrations.
We can create self-sufficient communities based on diversified agriculture, small businesses, seed saving, bartering, and community schools and clinics.
Absolutely, we need to support the few, brave politicians who are working to regulate corporate globalization and reverse its damage to our beautiful planet.

Sadness at Santa Anita: What is the Solution?
Horse Racing News March 7, 2019 0 John Furgele
Horse Racing Safety. Horse Racing, Santa Anita Park
If you're a sports fan, you've had this conversation with your friends thousands of times, I'm sure. It goes something like this: "Why can't Johnson stay healthy?" Another way of saying it goes something like, "Sanderson is a great, but he can never stay healthy for a full season."
There is the other side of the spectrum, too. "You gotta love Gary Unger; that guy plays every game." (He played 914 consecutive NHL games.). And, of course, we all know about Cal Ripken, Jr. and his incredible streak of 2,632 consecutive baseball games.
Injuries are a part of all sports. Some players never get hurt, some get hurt periodically and others seemingly get injured all the time. Unger and Ripken never got hurt, while players like Jacoby Ellsbury of the New York Yankees seem to regularly miss 145 games per season. That's how it goes.
Santa Anita Park (photo by Jim Safford).
Horse racing is no different. Horses get injured, some more than others. There is, however, a great difference. If Jacoby Ellsbury breaks his ankle, he goes on the injured list, rehabs and, hopefully, returns to action. If a 5-year old gelding named Malamute breaks his ankle, he is euthanized.
Even those that love horse racing have trouble stomaching this. If you've ever seen a horse break down during a race, it is excruciating. In 2008, my then-3-year-old daughter and I were watching a race in February from Aqueduct when the lead horse went down. I was trying to share my love of horse racing with her and to see those tears was numbing and devastating.
For some, they can never watch again.
Santa Anita has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. Since Dec. 26, 21 horses have died at the track — some in races, others in training and others off the track. For most of the year, horse racing is ignored, but when horses are euthanized, the attention comes like an avalanche.
The track had been inspected and when it reopened last week, two more horses died. The track is closed again and will be inspected by former track superintendent Dennis Moore before reopening.
What can be done here? Are these fatalities the result of a bad track? Probably not. Are these fatalities the result of less-than-100 percent horses being pushed into races? Perhaps, but likely not. Are these fatalities the result of bad luck? Most likely, yes.
Some injuries are worse than others. In the fall, we saw the gruesome injury that Redskins QB Alex Smith suffered and for those that are old enough, we likened it to the one that Joe Theismann suffered in 1985. Smith's career is likely over, but not his life.
When horses go down, it gives the sport a black eye. There are already plenty of critics who think the sport is inhumane and should be outlawed. We all know that won't happen. Despite what PETA and other critics say, thoroughbreds are bred to race; that's what they do and that's what they will continue to do. Horse racing also generates billions of dollars each year thanks to gambling — and states regulate and get a cut of that money.
All that said is the sport doing enough for the athletes — in this case, the horses? We have seen other sports take initiatives to better protect the athletes. The new Alliance of American Football has eliminated kickoffs in an attempt to reduce concussions. Many think that, someday, the NFL will follow suit.
What can horse racing do? Horses don't talk, they can't tell their handlers when something is amiss. So, there is always risk when a horse goes to train or race. In the early 2000s, nine tracks installed synthetic surfaces to try to reduce injuries to thoroughbreds. Some chose Polytrack while others chose Tapeta.
The results were encouraging. Track fatalities, which are measured in deaths per one thousand races went down. At Santa Anita, the number went from 2.11 to 0.90 and while that doesn't seem like a lot, if you extend that to 10,000 races, it reads 21 to 10. Other tracks saw even better numbers. Keeneland saw its death rate decrease to 0.33.
The installation of synthetics was not the cure-all. While fatalities decreased, the number of soft-tissue issues increased and racing purists, handicappers, owners and trainers balked at the "fake dirt." In 2004, the California State Legislature mandated the installation of synthetics at California's four thoroughbred tracks — Santa Anita, Del Mar, Golden Gate Fields and the now defunct Hollywood Park. As mentioned, track fatalities decreased, but not everybody was happy. In the 2010s, both Santa Anita and Del Mar went back to dirt with Golden Gates Fields electing to stay with Tapeta.
Thoroughbred racing is regulated by the states; there is no national governing body and because the big tracks like Saratoga, Belmont, Churchill and Gulfstream never tried synthetics, the movement fizzled out. Today, the only racetracks that still feature a synthetic surface are Presque Isle Downs (PA), Arlington Park (IL), Woodbine (Ontario, Canada), Golden Gate (CA) and Turfway Park (KY).
I'm not saying that all tracks should install Polytrack or Tapeta, but it would have been nice to see all try it to get some concrete statistics. Recently, I spoke with Linda in the racing office at Golden Gate Fields in Northern California who confirmed that catastrophic injuries went "way down" once Tapeta was installed, but that wasn't enough to keep Del Mar and Santa Anita from going back to dirt. It would have nice to see all tracks try it for ten years, look at the statistics and make a more qualified determination.
What's happening at Santa Anita is tragic and closing the track was the right thing to do. Of course, there is no guarantee that inspecting and fixing the track will make breakdowns go away, but officials have to try to get to the bottom of this.
Like all sports, the best interests of the athletes has to be the top priority.

How I stopped smoking with Blue Bay!!
I began smoking when I was 15 years old, and I continued to smoke for the next 12 years. As I got older, I tried on several occasions to quit smoking by using OTC smoking cessation patches/gums, and I even tried Chantix – nothing worked. In Feb 2014, I began vaping after my brother gave me a Kanger vape pen and some Blue Bay e-liquid to try. It was wonderful! I was finally able to quit smoking and became a vaper. From the start, my intention was to reduce my nicotine intake, and over time I have been able to achieve that goal. Vaping worked for me when nothing else would!


I'm a couple months behind on updating. Sorry about that!
I created a Facebook page a few months ago, but never got around to actually doing anything with it until today. I've created a news feed into the notes section, so if you have a Facebook account, you can subscribe to it. C-P.net on Facebook here.

Fencing as a PE Activity in High Schools
Fencing Team from St Andrews College, Marayong, 2008 NSW Schools Champions in Foil U13 (from left) Adrian Musel, Adam Kortynski, Alex Agaciak
Why introduce fencing into your school?
Fencing has been practiced for centuries and describes the sport of sword fighting with one of three weapons: foil, epee or sabre. With the study and practice of swordsmanship with these weapons fencing became the art of sword-play. Early on it involved deadly combat or the notorious "duel." Now modern is a quest for Olympic gold. The complex nature of fencing has led some to refer to it as "physical chess with the speed of light".
The Program can offer sessions to fit in with before, during and after school, not only providing an hour's supervised activity, but also allowing your pupils to develop new skills. The aim of the Fencing Programme is:
- to involve more children in sport,
- to identify talent and potential,
- to encourage competition,
- to increase the school's achievements,
- to raise the profile of the school,
- to raise the popularity of fencing in schools, NSW and nationally.
Fencing as a PE Activity
Fencing is one of the most complete amalgamations of mind and body in the sport. It is flexible and easily accessible, in that it does not require specialized fields or courts and can be practiced in almost any open space, including cafeterias, auditoriums, and even open classrooms, making it perfect for urban areas without space for physical education. Fencing is a year round sport and even at novice levels, provides effective cardio-vascular and skeleton-muscular exercise, with benefits for improved posture whilst at the same time requiring mental/cerebral effort thus improving reaction times. It teaches hand-eye co-ordination, improves concentration and perception, core stability and balance, mobility and sporting etiquette, discipline and social behaviours. It suits all age-groups and children of all shapes, sizes and degrees of fitness because fencers can develop and participate to a level that suits them. It is also novel and different often appealing to those who do not naturally gravitate towards the commonly offered field and/or team sports. Many young people who are not motivated to participate in team ball sports successfully find than they can preserve their individuality and achieve respectable results in fencing. Fencing is also an exceptionally safe sport, with fencers suffering fewer injuries than athletes in most other sports like golf, lawn balls, swimming, tennis and soccer.
A typical 60-minute session is designed for both boys and girls and would include warm-up and stretches, reaction-time exercises and fencing-related games, footwork practice, group
lessons on technique and tactics, and free-play, all under the close supervision of a properly qualified coach.
Benefits for Children
Fencing is particularly beneficial for children as is one of the most enjoyable of all exercise forms and benefits of fencing apply into every area of child's physical and intellectual being. An hour's active fencing burns over 400 calories and a competitive 9-minute bout can use up as much energy as a 1.6 km run!
Physical strength, coordination, speed, agility and self-confidence are just a few of the qualities this sport requires of its participants. Children learn how to judge and determine their opponent's intentions, behaviour, reactions, habits and character so as to anticipate their actions. They learn to analyse problems, make split-second decisions and take immediate actions.
Fencers learn to enjoy winning and profit from defeats, while becoming physically fit and healthy. The anxious or worried children become more confident and assertive as they learn to move and control own body. Development of strategically thinking and other skills gained through fencing can be applied to any situation of conflict or competitive interaction with other people in everyday life.
There is a progressive pathway available in the fencing and students wishing to develop further their skills and compete at the higher level will have an opportunity to join fencing clubs and continue practicing fencing after school hours. Fencers applying for undergraduate places at Universities can receive bonus points on their ATAR under the Elite Athletes programs. Fencers have a number of opportunities to combine their passion for playing sport when studying both in Australia and overseas.
Benefits for School
It has been proven that physically active children are not only healthier but also they do better academically. Fencing will contribute to increasing the school's achievements in sport and raising the school's profile. Over the period of last few years fencing has become more and more popular. Many prestigious schools offer fencing in their Co-Curriculum.
The NSW schools fencing program run by NSWFA is the most successful in Australia. The boys and girls may represent school at individual and team schools events in NSW and Australia which are contested in age groups.
Competitive sport gives children the chance to be the very best they can be and helps us find the champions of tomorrow. This fencing program will enable school to offer an attractive competitive sport to their pupils and helping more of them to achieve their potential.


The SUNY Adirondack Baseball team went 1-1 today against conference opponent Mohawk Valley Community College.
The first game of the afternoon was an 11-0 win for the Mohawk Valley Hawks. It was a tough outing for the Timberwolves who could only manage 3 hits in the game.
The second game of the afternoon was also a struggle early on for the Timberwolves who found themselves down 4-0 after a big second inning from the Hawks. SUNY Adirondack bounced back well this time around though and was able to score 5 runs in the third inning to take the lead for good. Brent McGhee drove in 2 runs to get things going. Chewy Stubblebine grounded out, scoring one run, and Jared Winkle singled scoring two runs in the frame.
Zach Malek picked up the victory for SUNY Adirondack while throwing a complete game.
SUNY Adirondack tallied nine hits in the second game. Joe Battista and Evan Bowers both had multiple hits for SUNY Adirondack. Battista led the Timberwolves with three hits in three at bats.
With the split today, the Timberwolves now sit at 10-15 on the season and 7-3 in conference play. They will be back in action tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Mohawk Valley to finish the season series. First pitch is scheduled for 12 PM.

With the Cape Verde summit conquered, we sleep and recover in Chã das Caldeiras, in communion with some of the lives at the mercy of the volcano. The next morning, we started the return to the capital São Filipe, 11 km down the road to Mosteiros.
There are 2829 meters, those of the Fogo volcano.
We ascend them and then descend them, for the most part, on rough lava or sand and volcanic ash where every two steps upwards gave rise to a slide. This setback was compounded by the altitude factor and the effect of the sun's rays, which were much more exhausting than at sea level.
As happens all too often, the constancy with which we interrupt the ascent and descent to contemplate the surrounding scenarios and their photography, caused a serious delay in arriving at the village, two additional hours, seven instead of the usual five, four used in the ascent, three in the descent.
We returned in ecstasy for all that had meant and provided that new achievement. Also exhausted by the effort we put into it.
It was, therefore, unsurprising that the night we spent at the Home Adriano, in Bangaeira, proved to be the one with the best sleep of many in Cape Verdean lands.
Dª Filomena had prepared a lunch for us in time for a normal meal time. Instead, we had lunch after three in the afternoon. Until sunset, we wandered among the buried houses and lived with families from Portela and Bangaeira.
A young family from Chã das Caldeiras works rebuilding a house.
Half an hour after the sun sets west of the island, we return to the shelter of the Montronds.
We drink anything hot. At nine in the evening, we surrender to fatigue.
We slept until seven in the morning. Shortly after dawn and devoured breakfast, we resumed the discovery and photography of Chã and its caldera, denuded as it was, despite more than an eruption of the capricious Fogo.
Around eleven, with the sun almost at its peak, the light turns out to be too harsh for our taste. It was the solar stimulus we were waiting for to get us on our way.
Exit from the Great Caldera of Fogo Volcano
The journey to Mosteiros went through the internal stretch between Bangaeira and the eastern exit of the caldera. Even on a Sunday, the people of Chã were forced to guarantee their livelihood.
In this space, we come across the last homes of the Caldeira. One of them displayed a small craft display by the wayside. A green articulated table, covered with volcanic sand, suggested coffee bags, houses and other sculptures created with lava, huts and other materials, especially vegetables.
Crafts display on the way out of the border.
We had already bought dozens of these traditional houses from residents we found at the opposite entrance to the boiler, next to the sign that welcomes those who enter the Fogo Natural Park. We limit ourselves, therefore, to contemplating the careful arrangement of the pieces and moving on.
A few hundred meters later, we came across a lady in dark robes and light eyes, with a large bunch of stone beans on her head.
Little by little, we made our way between a colony of large eucalyptus trees and a sea of lava propagated by one of the dozens of eruptions of the volcano, everything indicated that it was in 1951.
We said goodbye to Fogo, its hill enveloped in a hot, dry mist that reduced it to an almost conical silhouette, increasingly diffused against the whitish sky.
Passage from Chã das Caldeiras to Monte Velho Forest
We've reached the edge of the border. The path leaves the lava stronghold. Enter the Monte Velho Forest Perimeter.
Out of nowhere, a blue pick-up truck emerges from a meandering track. It comes loaded with wooden beams, essential to the reconstruction effort that the people of Chã das Caldeiras were forced to do after the last eruption of 2014-2015.
During our passage, the ranger is absent from the post. Embarrassed by the duty to charge tickets, he reaches us in a hurry. We paid you the 200 escudos due. The boy hands us the respective note and thanks, after which he goes back to the tasks that kept him away.
We continued on the descent. Eventually, an opening in the vegetation reveals a surreal scenario.
Between the plane of the treetops and the blue sky that served as the vault for everything, a great front of white clouds challenged the falling but solidified flow of the overwhelming flow that we had been following for a long time.
As white as it seemed to us, this almost tangible front of the famous Cape Verdean dry mist contained moisture.
It raised and irrigated the east-northeast bush of the island of Fogo, a vegetation at the top, old and leafy but that would soon surrender to different miraculous plant expressions.
Another farrusque sign identified villages and places reachable by the branching of a fork: Montinho, Piorno, Campanas Cima and R. Filipe on one side. Centro Monte Velho, Coxo, Pai António and Mosteiros Trás, on the other. We knew that by taking the second one, we would be on the right path.
The Semi-Vertiginous Descent Flanked by Agaves
Before long, the almost unpaved road gives way to a narrow, steep and winding path, flanked by hundreds of verdant and sharp agaves.
So pointed that any distraction and fall would result in serious injury. Steep as it was, the trail quickly took us under the blanket of "dry mist". revealed to us one World gradually more fertile.
On both sides of the agave hedge, the slope was filled with coffee groves that give rise to the prestigious Fogo café. Also banana plantations. And papaya trees. Here and there, some plantations lost among others.
Dairy cows grazed on makeshift, sloping pastures, furrowed by a network of old walls that marked properties.
The Municipality and the Village of Mosteiros. Between the Agricultural Fields and the Sea
The slope we were descending included Mosteiros, a county-municipality with almost ten thousand inhabitants and a growing population since at least 1980. at the foot of the volcano and at the exit of the trail we were trying to complete.
Almost all the inhabitants of Mosteiros live and depend on the rural environment, the main reason why we saw the slope cultivated even in strongholds so overhanging that they rejected terraces.
They plant them, keep them and harvest them with the help of small donkeys but powerful enough and resistant enough to carry their owners and large loads uphill.
Once again the vegetation opens up. It forms a natural window framing the vast lava slab at the northeast foot of the slope.
From there, among the foliage, we glimpse the half-finished block houses of Vila de Mosteiros, the seat of the homonymous county, in practice, a cluster of small, remedied villages inhabited by around four hundred souls.
Agriculture aside, many of its people from Fogu still enjoy the fishing livelihood that the Atlantic guarantees them.
Two hours had passed. The sun fell west of the Fire.
For reasons that only the "dry mist" knew about, it only affected the village. It brightened the houses and made it contrast with the desolate blackness in which it sat.
The half-finished houses of Mosteiros, in the vicinity of another usual lava path from the Fogo volcano.
The Musical Foreshadowing of Pai António. And the End of the Railroad.
With the knees in intense complaining, to the sound of an unexpected and festive batuque, we make ourselves to an improvised staircase. From its beginning, we could not see what was further down, but we suspected that it signaled the end of the route.
Finally, the staircase detaches us from the trees. The first steps show us a distant fort of houses from which huge papaya trees projected. The following ones reveal to us a pavement of Pai António Fundeira and the unmistakable Cape Verdean life scene that took place there.
The music came from a small grog bar with a hut roof, where a woman from the village stood in the shade and at the counter. At the side, between fierce table football matches, two countrymen discussed loudly, so at ease that not even the batuko it drowned out their arguments.
In front of him, Edilson, our "official" taxi driver on the island of Fogo, despaired of our delay. "Ah, there you are, at last.
I could see they were lost!" He greets us, therefore, with the confidence that we had from both sides, gained in good-natured conversations on other paths.
There, we completed 11km of arduous descent. The water we were carrying hadn't completely quenched our thirst. In agreement, we sat on the wall drinking a beer and a juice, chatting with the locals who, without waiting, welcomed us. There followed a drawn-out return to the capital São Filipe.
And a few more days in the warm Fogo de Cabo Verde.

Guides: Cape Verde
Fogo Island, Cape Verde
Around the Fogo Island
Time and the laws of geomorphology dictated that the volcano-island of Fogo rounded off like no other in Cape Verde. Discovering this exuberant Macaronesian archipelago, we circled around it against the clock. We are dazzled in the same direction.
Chã das Caldeiras, Fogo Island Cape Verde
A "French" Clan at the Mercy of Fire
In 1870, a Count born in Grenoble on his way to Brazilian exile, made a stopover in Cape Verde where native beauties tied him to the island of Fogo. Two of his children settled in the middle of the volcano's crater and continued to raise offspring there. Not even the destruction caused by the recent eruptions deters the prolific Montrond from the "county" they founded in Chã das Caldeiras.
Cidade Velha, Cape Verde
Cidade Velha: the Ancient of the Tropico-Colonial Cities
It was the first settlement founded by Europeans below the Tropic of Cancer. In crucial times for Portuguese expansion to Africa and South America and for the slave trade that accompanied it, Cidade Velha became a poignant but unavoidable legacy of Cape Verdean origins.
island of salt, Cape Verde
The Salt of the Island of Sal
At the approach of the XNUMXth century, Sal remained lacking in drinking water and practically uninhabited. Until the extraction and export of the abundant salt there encouraged a progressive population. Today, salt and salt pans add another flavor to the most visited island in Cape Verde.
Boa Vista Island, Cape Verde
Boa Vista Island: Atlantic waves, Dunas do Sara
Boa Vista is not only the Cape Verdean island closest to the African coast and its vast desert. After a few hours of discovery, it convinces us that it is a piece of the Sahara adrift in the North Atlantic.

The gigantic Tengger caldera rises 2000m in the heart of a sandy expanse of east Java. From it project the highest mountain of this Indonesian island, the Semeru, and several other volcanoes. From the fertility and clemency of this sublime as well as Dantesque setting, one of the few Hindu communities that resisted the Muslim predominance around, thrives.
Cilaos, Reunion Island
Refuge under the roof of the Indian Ocean
Cilaos appears in one of the old green boilers on the island of Réunion. It was initially inhabited by outlaw slaves who believed they were safe at that end of the world. Once made accessible, nor did the remote location of the crater prevent the shelter of a village that is now peculiar and flattered.

If the almost antipode tazzie is already a australian world apart, what about its inhospitable western region. Between Devonport and Strahan, dense forests, elusive rivers and a rugged coastline beaten by an almost Antarctic Indian ocean generate enigma and respect.
Tonga, Western Samoa, Polynesia
XXL Pacific
For centuries, the natives of the Polynesian islands subsisted on land and sea. Until the intrusion of colonial powers and the subsequent introduction of fatty pieces of meat, fast food and sugary drinks have spawned a plague of diabetes and obesity. Today, while much of Tonga's national GDP, Western Samoa and neighbors is wasted on these "western poisons", fishermen barely manage to sell their fish.

Executives from Cadbury and its new American owner came under fire from angry MPs amid uncertainty about the chocolate-maker's future in the UK.
Marc Firestone, executive vice-president of US food giant Kraft, and Cadbury's president Trevor Bond were repeatedly challenged about their long-term commitment to Bournville as they appeared before the Commons Business Select Committee.
They insisted that they intended to keep production in Britain but stopped short of any specific long-term commitments.
Fellow committee member Lindsay Hoyle, a Labour MP, said Kraft had made the same promises to Terry's of York before moving production of the Chocolate Orange to Poland.
Kraft had said it would keep the plant open, but later changed its mind, saying it would close after all, with the loss of 400 jobs.
The company chiefs today insisted there were no plans to rebrand Cadbury's products.
"We have no plans to rename Cadbury's Creme Egg or Cadbury's Dairy Milk into anything else," Mr Bond said.
Mr Firestone added: "It's absolutely our plan to preserve the identity of the brands themselves as well as the identity of the company itself.
Mr Firestone later promised that there would be no manufacturing job losses at Cadbury for the next two years.
He said that, having listened to unions, MPs and the Press, it was "clear that our reputation requires action more than words".
"First, I will say that we can commit that, for a period of at least two years, there will be no further closures of manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom," he said.
"I can also commit that, beyond any programmes that I mentioned that have already been negotiated and announced, there will be no further compulsory redundancies of manufacturing employees in the United Kingdom.
"These are statements I believe are helpful in removing a cloud of uncertainty and creating an atmosphere where we truly do, as Kraft, want to regain the trust of our colleagues, of the Government, of the public."
Mr Firestone said Kraft wanted to "move beyond the controversy" and develop a "stronger growth platform" in the years ahead.


The HootSuite App Exchange features tools created by 3rd-party developers to extend the capabilities of HootSuite. These apps fit into HootSuite streams allowing a custom user experience within your social media dashboard.
Best of all, the HootSuite App Exchange is designed to allow developers to quickly create new apps – going from idea to submission within a day… whether its adding a new social network, integrating a chat application, or pulling more statistics into HootSuite, its all possible with this new toolkit.
via HootSuite – Social Media Dashboard for Teams using Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin.
So what's the big deal here? So what, right?
One of the strengths that Seesmic Desktop has been touting is the connection and expansion into more than Twitter. Making Seesmic a social media app, not a Twitter app. HootSuite, while still focused on Twitter, is also trying to become a tool that hooks people in with the Twitter features, but reels them in with the add ons.
Real time chat integrated into my Twitter client? Maybe connected to GoogleTalk? That would be cool and it would eliminate an app I need to run. Connect to FriendFeed? Another. Really good alerts and Growl integration?
The more tools that HootSuite can replace with add-ons and still not bog down the app or clutter the interface up. The more people who will use it.


Many patients visit the dentist when superficial stains show up on the teeth along with irregularities in the enamel. The main reason for visiting the dentist is smile correction. Many factors can cause the defect like amelogenesis imperfecta, fluorosis, and hypoplasia. All these conditions need enamel microabrasion where the dentist will use abrasive and acidic agents to perform the process. The abrasive agents include 6% hydrochloric acid along with silica or 37% phosphoric acid along with pumice. The dentist will apply the substance to the damaged enamel surface by exerting mechanical pressure using the rubber cap attached to the rotatory mandrel of the micromotor with low rotation.
There has been the introduction of several treatment procedures in the dental market meant for restoring the dental appearance of a patient who seeks dental aesthetics. Each technique undergoes an evaluation to check the time taken and the effectivity of the procedure. It is also necessary to verify whether a low-cost treatment is enough for the purpose. The Wayzata Dental prefers enamel microabrasion technique for the removal of stain marks from the teeth surface. It takes care of both the aesthetics and the conservation of the natural structure. There is a high success rate for the process.
You will have to go for the microabrasion once you notice the intrinsic discoloration or an alteration in the texture of the teeth. The technique involves removal of the porous surface layer of your enamel and any entrapped stains. The dentist will rub the acid and abrasive compound containing gel in a manner similar to the dental prophylaxis using water and pumice. The technique is the first choice of managing the teeth having intrinsic stains as it removes brown, opaque stains and makes the surface smooth by getting rid of the irregularities.


An interesting division has been occurring in the Aurora mayor's race scheduled for November. It's not the usual split you see amongst the GOP — establishment vs. grassroots. This time it's more of a generational split, or the old guard vs. new guard in our view. When you compare Ryan Frazier's supporters against the others in the field this distinction is hard to miss.
There are a number of upstanding citizens running to succeed the long reign of the father-son mayoral dynasty of Paul and Ed Tauer. That does not include Defector Debbie.
It does include people like Jude Sandvall and Steve Hogan.
Hogan is a former Aurora city councilman, who ran for Congress as a Democrat twice in the early 80s, later switching to the Republican line, and served a total of 24 years on the council. Over the years he has built up a successful network of contacts on both sides of the aisle, allowing him the ability to raise a serious chunk of change. A couple of weeks ago, Hogan released his initial fundraising numbers reporting that he had raised $125,000 already.
He will be a serious challenger with top level operatives in Marcus Pachman and Sean Walsh. It's an interesting re-match against Frazier for Walsh, as he ran the campaign of Frazier's 7th CD primary opponent, Lang Sias, in 2010.
Hogan's rolodex has garnered him the backing of some serious old guard establishment figures like former Governor Bill Owens and former US Senator Hank Brown. He also has the support of the Tauer family, which has ruled over Aurora for nearly the last 20 years.
Jude Sandvall is a Realtor with some significant old school establishment support of his own (see his supporter list after the jump). Behind his campaign stand a bevy of backers who have dominated Colorado politics for a long time. From former state Senate Majority Leader and former State Treasurer Mark Hillman to the one and only Tom Tancredo, Sandvall has his fair share of dominant figures behind him.
Perhaps most important to his campaign is the backing of the Cottrells. Bo and Lynn Cottrell, Republican activists who have been doing the heavy lifting of the GOP since forever, are strong supporters of Sandvall. They are highly respected and their endorsement will no doubt carry a lot of weight. Sandvall is a great guy with solid conservative principles. Even those not supporting him say he would make a good mayor.
But good is not enough. Many new school Republicans and activist types want more than a "good" mayor. They are looking for dynamic, engaged leaders to represent them at all levels of government, including the mayor's office in Aurora. A quick perusal of supporters of Ryan Frazier's campaign from an upcoming fundraising event notice bears this new school vs old school paradigm out.
From newly elected Adams County Commissioner Erik Hansen, who has been busy cleaning up the wave of Dem corruption that has hit his county, to Brett Moore, who recently finished his tenure atop the Denver Metro Young Republicans, Frazier is garnering the support of the next generation of GOP leaders.
It is no surprise that we are fans of Fraziers, as we pointed out in our post about his entrance into the race. Some may say we are just shilling for our guy in the race. We're not. We haven't made any endorsement of Frazier's mayoral campaign. While we've spoken highly of Frazier, the generational and establishment lines that separate Frazier from Sandvall and Hogan are distinct and notable. It is an interesting split, regardless of who is in the race.
The supporter list of Frazier looks more like a who's who of those fighting the political battles in the here and now, whereas Sandvall and Hogan's endorsers read more like a list of political alumni. Many younger activists and GOPers see Frazier as a rising star with an ability to reach out to new constituencies and act as an able spokesman for the conservative philosophy. His numerous appearances on Fox News point to the fact that his messaging abilities are able to tap into a larger segment than your average Aurora mayoral candidate.
The fault lines can also be seen in the candidate's interactions on Facebook. Steve Hogan has a FB page, but it is barely ever used and has less than 100 "likes." Sandvall likewise has a FB page with less than 100 "likes," though he uses it more often than Hogan. Frazier, who was able to port over his nearly 2,500 "likes" FB page from his Congressional campaign, has a lively exchange going on with his supporters. In a low turnout, off-year election things like this can have an outsized effect. It's also an unmistakable sign to supporters that Frazier gets the new way campaigns are run. Social media matters.
Frazier clearly has a major leg up on his competition, having run for the 7th Congressional district last year. In addition to his FB page, he is able to take his lists of volunteers and donors, as well as the relationships he has built with activists and opinion makers, and bring them to bear in the race.
While Sandvall has sold himself as the Tea Party candidate, the real movement candidate appears to be Frazier, who brings with him a long list of supporters invested in putting young, dynamic conservative leaders into office. Just as with the fight between Sarah Anderson and the El Paso GOP, a newer and younger generation of conservatives are lining up against the old guard establishment. There are good people on both sides of each struggle, but the distinction between new guard and old guard is impossible to miss in both battles.
« MONEY MEET MOUTH: Will Udall & Bennet Vote For Balanced Budget Amendment Or Cave To Liberal Loons?
I happen to like Frazier a lot. I think he's a dynamic personality, he's a good leader, and he's about 80% there on my issues. On the other hand, Jude Sandvall sounds like a great conservative as well, and he is endorsed by some of the Colorado Conservatives I admire the most. It's a good thing I don't live in Aurora; I would have a really difficult time deciding who to vote for.
Endorsements to me mean nothing, what they do means more. Ryan's track record trumps any endorsement shown here (even though I like a some on the list).
It seems that when it comes to elections people complain about the negative attacks etc, but yet they show their ugly head again with the initial comment. I have met Ryan on several occasions and find him to be a great asset to the city of Aurora on council, and hope he can become elected to Mayor.
Although I appreciate the list of each candidates supporters I am disappointed that you are focusing on the window dressing and not the substance of the candidates values and plans once in office. Relegating Jude Sandvall to the 'establishment' bucket based on endorsements without talking about why said persons are endorsing him, lays bare your own bias in this race. You have chosen to hide your own identities for reasons that are unclear but still insert your own endorsement into the article.
When you argue for positions based on constitutional and liberty principles you carry some weight based on substance but you have lost me on this shallow analysis. Let's see a careful examination of each candidates actual plan to govern and reform bloated, ineffective government. Todays voter wants more. What say you?
Yes, it's important to analyze how someone would govern in office from a conservative/liberty perspective. But sometimes one candidate is more purely conservative while another is a conservative leader.
I'm of the opinion that as long as the conservative leader doesn't stray too far from being a good conservative, I'd rather have the leader than the pure conservative.
I want to know where and how the 'good conservative leader' is going to lead. Jude has laid out a very specific plan to reduce spending significantly while maintaining essential services. Municipalities must analyze the cost of taxation/spending to its citizens as part of the big economic picture impacting their lives.
I am not denigrating Ryan's abilities nor leadership qualities but to date Jude has put forth a stronger plan to manage and lead in my view. In order to justify splitting the conservative vote Ryan needs a stronger plan.
puts it LIGHTLY! "Endorsements" come down to one thing and one thing only: who was hired to fund raise for the campaign. Frazier hired 20 year old kids, and HE also happen to be endorsed by the younger crowd. It isn't some "great political strategy", it's more about who is friends with whom and where 20 year old kids spend their time: Facebook.
I know the Peak is young, but shallow analysis like this is gonna kill you quick.
The average age of FB users is 38. Nice try.
I don't know the average age of a facebook user? Who cares!?!
MY POINT was it only comes down to who you hire to fundraise for your campaign and the people THEY attract.
And excuse me for not being all that impressed with the ability of a former failed congressional candidate who is easily shoved around to have a few more "likes" on Facebook (since he has run for every conceivable race in the state…and failed)!
Lets see how much YOUR argument matters when the average age of a person voting in an off-year municipal (free for all) election is probably 65…just saying.
but this is his second race is less than a year (technically 3rd). If he doesn't win it'll be hard for him to regain his footing. FB matters if his "fans" are actually Aurora voters or actually campaign for him. It's better to have 25x more fans than not, but it's pay-off depends on who it is.
Frankly wouldn't one of these guys be wise enough to drop out simply so Colorado's 3rd largest city isn't represented by a Dem?
I'd be inclined to support Frazier, but I don't know too much about him. Is he 100% conservative. The fact that Peak politics is shilling for fans of Frazier gives me a slight moment of pause. I never took Peak politics for the Sarah Anderson type, but if it's true that you guys have seen the light then I'm all in favor.
Frazier as a dull bulb who lost his chances at a bright future when he got pushed out of the US Senate race for a PATHETIC congressional campaign in a republican year. But I am glad to see that the guys (ahem, establishment) who pushed him out of that race are now helping him raise money for a split GOP race in Aurora which will inevitably fall into the hands of a Dem because ego-maniacal people like Frazier need an office more than a real job or POLITICAL experience.
I'm certainly disappointed Frazier didn't do too well with the Congressional campaign, too, but I'm willing to give him another chance. It's a big jump from city council to Congress, and he might have just not been ready for that kind of campaign. Now I'm just hoping he's been humbled enough that he'll appreciate any office the public decides to give him.

Inside Judy Chicago's Monumental Goddess Sculpture for Dior
At Christian Dior's spring 2020 haute couture show in Paris today, attendees were ushered inside an enormous womblike chamber, with a curved mauve ceiling and soft lilac carpeting. The space was part of a 225-foot-long and 45-foot-high inflatable anthropomorphic sculpture, installed in the gardens of the Musée Rodin, by the pioneering American artist Judy Chicago. The 80-year-old first designed the structure, which represents a goddess figure with round feminine forms, in the late 1970s, though it was never realized in three dimensions. "I'm just glad I've lived long enough to see it," she said before the show, dressed in a custom gold Dior suit, her hair dyed a regal purple.
The work, titled "The Female Divine," served as the show venue and also contained 21 vividly colored, hand-appliquéd and embroidered velvet banners that lined the runway. Each was stitched with a query that related to the work's driving proposition, which was written across a central banner: "What If Women Ruled the World?" The prompts ranged from the material — "Would Buildings Resemble Wombs?" — to the political and social: "Would God Be Female?" and "Would There Be Violence?" They were all questions that have been present in Chicago's work since she began her practice in the 1960s. "I'm 40 years past 'The Dinner Party'," she says of her monumental 1974-79 work, a 48-foot-wide ceremonial banquet scene that celebrates 39 female icons, from the ancient poet Sappho to the artist Georgia O'Keeffe, and was produced in collaboration with a cohort of textile and ceramic artisans. "But the issue of changing attitudes toward women and imagining 'the female divine' is something that hasn't happened yet, has it?"
"These are big questions," Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior's creative director, said backstage after the show in reference to Chicago's banners. "But women have a different relationship with power, we have more of a community attitude. I saw this with Judy's work 'The Dinner Party,' which she realized with many women around the world." The tapestries, which are almost 10 feet tall and 7 feet wide, illuminated this in a spectacular fashion: Each of them was handmade by female students from the Chanakya School of Craft, a nonprofit organization based in Mumbai, India, that teaches women artisanal techniques that were traditionally practiced by men. "I spent a lot of time working on 'The Dinner Party,' trying to infuse women and women's history with a sense of the sacred and the valuable, because there are all these things associated with women that have been devalued: our bodies, our crafts, our history," said Chicago. "I tried to bring the same thing to bear on this work."
Through collaborations with prominent female artists — the American photographer Cindy Sherman and the British-born Surrealist artist Penny Slinger have both previously made work for Dior — Chiuri is on a mission to explore a connection between feminist thought and fashion. But when Chicago and Chiuri first discussed this project, last July at Dior's fall 2019 haute couture show, the artist knew she wanted to do something very specific. "I was sitting in the show and I was thinking, 'Can art have any real place here, other than just as a background?' There have been a lot of artists who have worked with fashion brands, but they have largely been commercial ventures," she said, pausing to look at the work around her, "We made art." Asked whether she had answers to any of the questions posed on banners, she replied with a laugh, "I'm an artist. It's my job to create."

- Since you've been in Reykjavík you're going to loads of concerts, aren't you?
- Yep. I'm trying to get sick of Icelandic concerts so that I won't miss them anymore. So there are some days I have a concert marathon from 5pm to 2am.
- And have you heard of a band called Hjaltalín?
- Hjaltaliín. They are very good. I mean veeeerryyyy good. They're playing in Gamla Bío in December.
Well, the next day I had bought my ticket for the concert, sometimes you have to trust your friends who live here.
I'd been told later than their first two albums were completely different from the latest one, ''Enter 4'', but I had decided to go to the concert without listening to their music at all.
I arrive in Gamla Bío where everyone already sits, waiting for the band to start.
I like this venue, an old theatre with very pale pink comfortable seats.
What can I say about this concert?
I wasn't expecting anything from them as I had no clue what kind of music they play.
Sigga has just an incredible -amazing strong deep beautiful powerful- voice which fits completely well with Högni's voice. Together they've been able to give goosebumps to the whole audience.
And the musicians. When it comes to have some extra musicians, Icelanders aren't afraid to bring a whole music ensemble, and I love that!
Everyone has contributed to make this night unforgettable.
And a very special congratulation for the lights engineer. The light show was stunning.
It's definitely one of the best show I've been so far in Reykjavík.
And if you have a chance to catch them somewhere, just go!
