Find MSC Grand Voyages Cruise
Aqaba/Petra
Must see places in Aqaba
Start planning your cruise and book your excursions to Aqaba
If you're interested in ancient history, Aqaba is a fantastic stop on an MSC Grand Voyages and MSC World Cruise. Jordan's only seaport has been an important trading port since 1500 BC and under Byzantine rule it's thought the world's first church was built here.
• The ancient city of Petra
• Wadi Rum carved out of rock
• The Red Sea resort
Half-built, half-carved into rock, and surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges, the ancient city of Petra is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in the world. Yet it was hidden and unknown for centuries until Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, a Swiss explorer, rediscovered it in 1812. Dating to around 3,000 BC, it was capital of the Nabataean Kingdom, an ancient nomadic Arabic tribe who enjoyed immense wealth from the incense trade.
Nicknamed "Rose City" because of the pink sandstone cliffs that its tombs and temples are carved into, today it is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Take an MSC excursion to explore Wadi Rum, a valley cut into sandstone and granite in Southern Jordan. Rock paintings, graffiti and temples are evidence of the many human cultures that lived here. An MSC excursion offers one of the easiest ways to experience the Arabic desert, and this is quintessential desert country. It's another world here, so it's no surprise that it's been shot as a backdrop for films like the Red Planet, the Last Day on Mars and the Martian.
To make your visit even more unforgettable, have tea and lunch in a traditional Bedouin tent.
After the heat of the desert, you'll welcome a dip in the Red Sea from the beach in Aqaba, with its calm, crystal-clear waters and thriving, marine life, it's an ideal snorkelling site.
Diving in the Red Sea
Pink sandstone buildings in Petra
A millenary culture
A holiday to Jordan means "desert", but this one plain word covers a multitude of scenes, from the dramatic red sands and towering cliffs of the far south to the vast stony plains of volcanic basalt in the east.
The northern hills, rich with olive trees, teeter over the rift of the Jordan Valley, which in turn runs down to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. The centre of the country is carpeted with tranquil fields of wheat, cut through by expansive canyons and bordered by arid, craggy mountains.
At Jordan's southernmost tip, beaches fringe the warm waters of the Red Sea, which harbours some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world. Jordan is part of the land bridge linking Europe, Africa and Asia, and has seen countless armies come and go. Greeks, Romans, Muslims, Christian Crusaders and more have left evidence of their conquests, and there are literally thousands of archaeological sites from all periods in every corner of the country, waiting to be discovered during your MSC Mediterranean cruise to Jordan. And yet the country is far from being stuck in the past. Amman is a thoroughly modern Arab capital with a noteworthy economic and social dynamism.

Determining whether a certain behavior could be a problem versus the child having nothing to do… or possibly over stimulated.
Respecting your children by offering choices will eliminate your frustration; guide them in the right direction instead of set them up for failure. Try to rotate toys to eliminate boredom. Store items on shelves at their level rather than boxes so that the child can see what is available. If putting toys away is an issue, try limiting the ones that you have available. Most children need warnings that activities are coming to an end soon, so try to give them enough time to mentally prepare themselves when you tell them it's time to start picking up. I don't know any adult that will just stop what they are doing on demand without saying hold on a sec and I'm certain we wouldn't tell another adult that it was unacceptable to say hang on either. Give your children a chance to make the right decision by providing them with transitional warnings.
Most importantly, treat every child with respect; that is one of the best gifts you can give any child!


African Americans live sicker and die younger than their White counterparts. Ailments such as asthma, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, are taking a far higher toll on African American communities. Other minorities also suffer from health disparities that affect everyone from infants and to seniors. Researcher Thomas LaVeist and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins Medical Center and the University of Maryland, estimate that between 2003 to 2006 alone health disparities cost us $1.24 trillion.
A series of films, presented by The Urban League of Portland's V.O.I.C.E. (Voicing Our Involvement through Community Engagement) Project reveals why this is the case and what needs to be done to end health inequalities.
The 'Unnatural Causes' film series starts this Thursday May 26 and continues through Tuesday June 14. Watch the movies and discuss how fair and equal social policies, living-wage jobs, affordable housing, racial justice, good schools, community empowerment, and family support systems can help our community's health.
How can it be that your street address can predict the state of your health? Discuss how segregation and lack of job opportunity, nutritious foods, and safe, affordable housing have been harmful to the health of long-time African American residents, and now new residents as well. Translation in Russian and Spanish provided.
Why do recent immigrants, although poorer, tend to be healthier than the average American? Despite being less educated, earning less and having the stress of adapting to a new country and a new language, they have lower rates of death, heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses.
Why do well-educated Black women have birth outcomes worse than white women who haven't finished high school? African American infant mortality rate is twice that of the majority population. Discuss how racism can hurt pregnancy outcomes in our community.
Why do layoffs take such a huge toll in Michigan but cause hardly a ripple in Sweden? Middle-class Americans are finding their health and way of life increasingly threatened by our unstable job market. What you might not guess is that it can have a detrimental impact on health outcomes and family stability. Discuss how job opportunities are just as critical to health as diet.

The Transportation Security Administration isn't kidding around. The government-funded agency will make you leave your giant teddy bear behind if it's deemed too large to fit on a plane. The stuffed animal was abandoned at LAX on Wednesday and its photo shared on the TSA's Instagram account as a warning to holiday travelers. "Why does this gigantic teddy bear look so sad? He was abandoned by his owners at LAX after the airline and TSA determined that he was just too big to be screened as a carry-on and taken on the plane," the agency posted next to the photo. "It's a good idea to check with your airline prior to traveling with overly large items as cary-ons. If you see this wayward bear strolling the streets of LA, please feel free to feed him." The Homeland Security branch created its Instagram account in 2008, and it's now accumulated an unlikely 599,000 followers. Bob Burns -- the social media guru behind the photos -- hatched the idea in 2008 as an easy way to communicate with flyers unsure of what to bring on an airplane. "You change it from people complaining about TSA to people saying, 'Wow look what TSA found, I can't believe someone would try to come through with this,'" Burns told Wired in 2014. "We like to show not only that our workforce is capable of finding these things, but we'd like to educate people." The TSA also has a Q&A Twitter account, which answers a wide range of flight-related questions and has more than 15,000 followers. "I knew it would be popular and I knew we'd have a never-ending source of content," Burns told Stuff earlier this month. "But I didn't know how popular we'd be." Perhaps that popularity will help the sad teddy bear will find a home.

Rules and regulations for the next five years for the Upper Republican Natural Resources District have not been fully completed but one thing is for sure—the allocation will remain at 65 inches.
If used equally, that amounts to 13 inches per year. However, the allocation is not based on annual usage but over the five-year period. That provides the irrigator some latitude based on weather conditions.
If it's a wet year and an irrigator uses just 11 inches, they don't lose the other two inches. Then, if the next year is dry, they could use 18 inches.
The true-up comes in the fifth year. In that year, their pumping can't exceed 65 inches for the five-year period. If after the fifth year the irrigator has exceeded the 65-inch threshold, the amount of overuse is deducted from the next allocation period at a rate of 2-to-1.
If an irrigator used 68 inches in the five-year period, that irrigator would go into the next allocation period with six less inches of water. (68 inches minus 65-inch allocation=3 inches times the 2-to-1 penalty resulting in a six-inch deduction going into the next allocation period).
In the next allocation period, if the irrigator limits usage to 59 inches (assuming another 65-inch allocation), then they would restore their full allocation going into the next period.


Workflow congestion, sluggish switches, pointless parameter settings -- application flaws don't come from a single source, but they're easier to solve when you know where to look first.
No application, not even the most feature-rich and user-intuitive, can survive major performance problems. Maintain worker, customer and supplier quality of experience within the expected range, or face productivity drops, abandoned transactions and other bad news.
Poor application quality of experience comes from myriad sources, so troubleshooting application performance issues is the first step to fixing them.
Performance problems are disruptive to live operations because they were not caught in testing. They're often subtle, the result of a diverse set of conditions, and hard to remedy effectively. Many of these problems represent programming errors that show up only under extreme or unusual conditions, and this means administrators must monitor system and network logs and record users' complaints to even realize a problem exists.
The following application performance issues are typical in modern IT operations, but surreptitious.
Users typically identify poor response time as an application performance problem. Slow response is most often caused by resource congestion, either within the application's components or in the network connections. The explanation is simple, but it's tricky to find out what's getting congested and why. Before you try to fix anything, examine system and network logs for reported resource problems during the periods when response time is poor.
Pros find simple network or hosting problems easily enough, but hidden workflow congestion proves difficult to uncover. IT organizations commonly deploy scalable application components, particularly in the front-end, cloud-hosted component of an application, to handle variable workloads. All this front-end elasticity can feed a single thread into an inflexible, legacy application or a single database update process. Compare the transaction volumes or database access rates to front-end user access rates, and if the former is hitting a plateau, it probably indicates workflow congestion.
Never stop at troubleshooting application performance issues in production -- that step only solves the here and now.
When troubleshooting application performance issues, check whether configuration limits were set too low. Many applications, and even middleware tools, have variable parameters to limit buffers, threads and other activities. Developers tend to leave settings on default levels, which means the application can run out of a resource simply because the infrastructure didn't supply enough of it. This kind of error almost always leaves a message in a system log, so engage in thorough log analytics.
Sometimes poor performance is a problem unintentionally baked into application design; most commonly via over-componentization. Development teams think in terms of component reuse and composability of applications more than they do about operational impacts in production. When an application is divided into components, separately hosted, the workflow between components creates network delays, which can accumulate. Any delays in the processing done by the components also add up, and the result can be poor performance. Design issues are often hard to detect without an application performance management tool, because the problem isn't one massive flaw, but a series of small, accumulating delays. Turn to an APM tool for help, or do some more log analytics: Dig through individual network and hosting logs from the systems involved, and sum up the processing and transit times.
Never stop at troubleshooting application performance issues in production -- that step only solves the here and now. Examine the testing flow and application lifecycle management tools, particularly as they relate to volume and performance testing. Consider pushing the envelope more in the testing phase to simulate production-like conditions.
Application scaling is no simple feat. Most application teams apply scaling either to just one or only a few front-end components, which moves congestion back a step. Other teams apply scaling to too many components, and increase delay. Application components must scale as the workload varies directly with the number of users. Stop scaling at the point where some user tasks are completed, and the workflow then stops. If workflows connect all the way back to the database, take steps to improve database performance, through changes in parameterization, server upgrades and solid-state drives instead of disks.
Seek out data center network congestion next. An axiom of data center switching is that horizontal traffic between components is less efficient to connect through traditional switches than vertical flows to and from the user. Work with vendors to ensure that the network has an optimum switch topology in place, and use the fastest possible Ethernet connections between switches. If the application workflows move among several data centers, investigate a project to increase the capacity of data center interconnect trunks.
Review the component hosting plan as part of efforts to mitigate and prevent application performance issues. Co-host tightly linked application components in the same data center, as a routine matter. If you're worried about diversity and availability, the application's failover plan can include redeploying components to another location, but its normal configuration should optimize the intercomponent traffic in a complex workflow. Also check that the amount of resource sharing on servers is within an acceptable range, by counting the number of containers or VMs per server. Overloaded servers will usually run out of memory or show a sharp dip in performance when load increases.
Middleware configuration can be a big source of performance problems, in particular for workloads hosted on a cloud infrastructure and for container setups. Check configuration parameters to verify nothing is pushing the limits. With platforms such as Kubernetes for container orchestration and OpenStack for cloud hosting, the administrator can specify a networking tool; research whether the available tools can scale to the number of components you expect, or whether another choice might offer better performance. OpenStack's Neutron networking is known to have limitations with some plug-in configurations, for example.
As production deployment gets more complicated, troubleshooting application performance issues necessarily covers a greater pool of things that might have gone wrong. The overall strategy has to include limiting deployment complexity where the benefits don't justify the levels of design componentization and virtualization.
Which application performance issue is the hardest to detect?

The Shoebox app, or more famously the Timehop app, gives you a glimpse of your past by showing you your photos and updates from the exact day in history. Today, when I opened the app, it showed me a photo of my place I took 4 years ago that seemed very not interesting - a bulky TV hardly anyone uses anymore, a green plant probably should have stayed outside, a few extra Snoopy stuffed toy than a 30 year old man should have - but I remember vividly the emotions when I took this particular photo as I had just brought home one of the single most important purchase of my adult life - my sofa bed.
After the break up with Scott, I moved to this tiny place above a garage, which I am still currently living in. Beginning my new single life, all I had was a TV that Scott didn't want, a few pots, pans and a cutting board Bill and Todd gave me so I can cook, my personal belongings, and an air mattress Chris lent me. The air mattress was not very comfortable, each night, before I went to bed, I had to inflate it again as it will slowly leak through the night. I tried to repair it many times. I learned to brush soap water on the mattress so I can see where the holes were and used duct tapes over it. I even brought it to work one time to use industrial glue to seal the holes. I told myself that it would do for now, it was meant to be a temporary solution anyway.
It was not until July 17, 2011, 254 days after I started living on my own, when I finally had the courage to go to Ikea to get a "proper" bed.
Thinking back, I never quite understand what took me so long to make the step. I think part of it was the living condition fitted with my mental state during that time - I was lost, messed up, and unhappy - the mattress was unreliable, uncomfortable, and deflating. In my head, as long as I was sleeping on this temporary air mattress, my unhappiness was really just a temporary thing. It was a form of denial.
I remember the day when I decided to go to Ikea was a big day for me. I have been measuring my living space for months by then, and I flipped through the Ikea catalogue countless times. I knew exactly which sofa bed I wanted because there really was only one that fitted the dimensions of my space. Getting this bed meant I was ready for the next step of my life. I was both nervous and excited.
I went to Ikea Coquitlam, one of the largest Ikea in Canada. I looked through the showroom, checked out the sofa bed on the show floor, copied down all the numbers I needed for the bed and prepared to walk down to the warehouse side to pickup the components. When I finally got to the stairway, I froze. "What if they don't have the bed I want?" I asked myself, "what if I have to go home empty handed?" I was too afraid of another disappointment in life. The thought of going home without a bed, at that moment, was more intimidating than waking up on a laminated floor with a sore back from a slow-leak mattress everyday. I cannot do it.
As I was having an anxiety attack, I texted Marv. "He had been through as much emotional roller coasters as I did, he will understand." I said to myself. Marv ensured me it was going to be okay. Why wouldn't it be? After all, it's Ikea, they have a giant warehouse, they have everything. So I nervously made my way to the aisles where the sofa bed components were going to be. To my horror, they didn't have what I written down. I couldn't find the frame, the mattress nor the bed covers. Feeling defeated, I walked over to a clerk and asked if the Richmond location will have the bed. He searched on his computer and found that only the bed frame was available there but the mattress part was on back order.
I was angry. It took me 7 months to get to the point when I finally had the courage to get this sofa bed. "It's not even a real bed! Just a sofa bed. This was a horrible idea." I angrily texted Marv. This one thing that was suppose to make me feel better about myself, but they don't have it. "I should just go home and do this when I am ready again," I texted as I was walking back to my car feeling I just wanted to go lay down on my air mattress. Marv then asked me to go to the Richmond store anyway, despite it's 45 minutes away. "Go get the bed frame first," he texted, "you can put your air mattress on it and at least you will have something tonight." I resisted the idea. I didn't want half a bed, I want everything to come together and be perfect. "Do it for me, if you can't do it for yourself." He then said. So, despite I felt this was a waste of time, I went to Richmond.
When I got to the Richmond Ikea, I didn't waste time and walked straight into the warehouse section and found a clerk. I told him the item numbers I was looking for as well as the other store had already told me I have to come back from the mattress in a week. He checked on his computer as I prepared myself for another disappointment. "I found it, and looks like we have the mattress as well." He said. "It's not possible, they said the mattresses are sold out." I questioned. "Sometimes the stock comes in and we don't have time to enter everything into the system." He smiled as he printed me a pick list. I quickly ran to the cashier while texting Marv, "they have it! They have the mattress and the frame!" I drove my Jeep to the pickup warehouse and a nice gentlemen helped me loaded 4 giant boxes, and my new mattress, into my car.
I didn't want anyone to help me with assembling this sofa bed. "This is going to be my thing" I told himself. So I carried these giant boxes up the stairs one by one. I used every ounce of energy I had to make my way up to the top of the stairs without falling down. Despite it was a workout, I had a smile on my face the whole time. I then spent the next 2 hours reading the instructions and carefully putting all the pieces together. Minute by minute, the pieces started to look more and more like a bed. When I finally finish putting the navy blue cover onto the mattress, I stood at the end of the bed, took the photo that is on top of this page, and started clapping.
Four years later, I look at this photo again, I still remember how silly I felt as I was cheering myself over this small accomplishment, but I didn't care. At that moment, all I knew was that I finally have a bed. I finally took my first step to make my life better for myself.
Happy anniversary, sofa bed, thanks for putting a stop to my leaky life.
I have the urge to type something again. The last five years was some of the most challenging and interesting times of my life. I can honestly said that I have lived it. Now that life is slowly putting back into order (still with many more interesting planned for myself), I think it's time for me to take a step back, once in a while, to write again.
A month ago, on June 9th, when I was driving home, at the corner of my eyes I saw two crows bullying something. Being the just-in-case-I-should-intervene person that I am, I stopped my car and found a young white pigeon injured. Even though it was just nature doing its natural selection, it was tough for me not to save it. So I sighed, knowing in the back of my head all my friends will be judging me as the crazy guy who saved a pigeon, grabbed my jacket, picked up the bird while the crows flew around wanting to attack me from taking their dinner (which they are rightfully so) and ran back to my car.
I called my friend Tamara as she knows a lot about animals, and she told me whom to call. Long story short, the bird ended up transferred to Burnaby Wildlife Rescue. I named it Ewen, the street where I found it.
Throughout the month, I called in weekly to check up on the bird. They said it was severely injured, but as weeks went by, it seemed more and more it will survive and can be released. Today, I got a call telling me I can go release the bird. I was delighted to hear the news.
To my surprised, the release process was a one-man job. I arrived at the location, they gave me a kennel with Ewen and 5 other rescued pigeons. The staff suggested me a location where I should release them. I gave them whatever cash I have on me as a donation and thanked them for their work and there I was, an Asian guy with a kennel of 6 pigeons. Let me say I was a bit worried people think I was going to eat these things.
I drove down to the Quay, in New Westminster, as they said it would be nice to release Ewen and his friends with a lot of other pigeons around. On my way, I coached them that they should stay away from crows from there on, and that it is extremely hot out there so stay hydrated. I sat the kennel on a bench, opened the door and watched them walked out one by one and flew away as I said goodbye to them.
It was a nice feeling to be able to be part of this release. A week ago, I had to say goodbye to someone I love, letting him go so he can be a happier person at the other side of the country. I chose the Quay to release Ewen because it was the same spot our first date was, where we walked down the boardwalk. It was oddly therapeutic.
I walked back to my car, sat down feeling both empty and rewarded. I turned on the radio.
It was playing Sarah McLaughlin's Black Bird.
I know I haven't said it, but I'm proud of you.
That was all that needed to turn my day around. Thank you.
Is my English horrible? Not extremely. Do I make a lot of mistakes if I don't think about what I type? Very much so. I am the first to admit my English is pretty awful at times. I often use incorrect word tense and I spell words according to how they sound to me, instead of how they really spell. When I make silly mistakes, I like to call them "Humperism". It takes some people years to fully understand them.
Do you think you can decode Humperism?
Me: TOTORO CAME LAST NIGHT!!! The acorns, they sprouted!!!!!
Me: I just finished my run, I walked passed my pot where the acorns are, some of them made it through the winter and sprouted!!!!!
Him: Oh wow. Well, life finds a way.
Me: Yeah! Apparently, not all of them got invested with lavas!!!
Me: Remember, I brought them back from Barrington.
Him: "Infested with larvae". Got it. Figured it out.
Me: YEAH!!! Those words!!! I'm going to have acorn trees!
I've been having a minor knee injury for the past few days. My right knee started to get sore after runs, and after my 24km run last Saturday (and doing laser tag and bowling after) it was noticably injured. Instead of pushing myself to try to run the following few days, I caved in and gave myself a break. It was tough to tell myself to stop, as I really wanted to stick to my training schedule of running 5 days a week, but during my internal conflict I remember what my friend Tamara told me when Scott and I broken up: "it's okay to be not okay". I know these two are complete unrelated topics, but I see myself acting the same way – trying to act like nothing happened but in fact I'm lying to myself, things are not getting better.
The ability to forgive yourself for not able to always perform your best is important. At rough times, we are allowed to take a step back, slow down and take care of a very important person – ourself.
My most anticipated game of 2013, which actually was supposed to be my most anticipated of 2012 but got delayed, is finally releasing! I've pre-ordered my copy since August last year and could not wait for it to be in my hands! I mean, Studio Ghibli (My Neighbour Totoro, Spirted Away, etc) and Level 5 (the Professor Layton series), how can they fail? The graphic and the music is just so stunning in this trailer!
Just a few more days... hopefully my Wizard Edition of the game will arrive!
I've been too many Cirque du Soleil shows. Too many that I start to think that I should pull a @Blogography and start a new section in my blog to talk about them, just like he does for Hard Rock Café. My love affair with Cirque started when I worked for them one summer. See, back when I was dating Michael, his security company had contracts with Cirque du Soleil's Alegría and Quidam. At the end of the one month job, they treated us to watch a dress rehearsal to thank us, and I instantly was memorized by their stunny stage, artistic performances and athletic abilities. Therefore, each time when they come to town, I always try to go see them, even though they can cost quite a bit. So far, I've been to (in the order that I've seen them) Alegría, Quidam, Varekai, Corteo, Kooza, O, Kà and on last Thursday, I saw their newest show Amaluna.
To be honest, I was a bit hesitated to see Amaluna. First of all, Cirque du Soleil and I had a very weird relationship. When I went to see Quidam, Michael had just recently broke up with me; I had to pushed myself to find someone to watch it so I didn't have to go alone. Varekai was part of Scott's birthday present back in 2006, which he fell in love with Cirque and bought many souvenirs, one of which is the few things I kept from the relationship: a leather mask in the shape of the sun. Therefore, last December when I was in Vegas, seeing O and Kà was a breakthrough for me as they were the first shows I see Cirque again. That said, going to the Big Top to see a travelling show is completely different... the location, the memories, I wasn't sure how I was going to handle that mentally. Moreover, like I said, I already saw 2 shows in less than 2 months already, as much as I love Cirque, it's a little bit too crazy, even for me. At the end, after some thoughts, I decided to get the ticket anyway, mostly because I know I will regret for not catching it, especially the chance of me being in the same city the show is going to be at is rather slim.
The moment I walked close enough to see the Big Top, my feeling of worried and panic was swept away by all the happy memories I had with Cirque: the people whom I used to work with, the popcorn, the music, the happy times when I was with Scott. Everything rushed back in at the same time. I just love these guys! Then of course there was the show, what Cirque du Soleil is known for, and boy did they deliver. Being freshly seen O, arguably their most polish show, I wasn't sure if Amaluna can impress me like O did, after all, I waited over 10 years to see O and with that much anticipation it still didn't disappoint. I can safely say Amulana was unique and different enough for me to completely fell in love with it. Without putting too much spoilers out, let me write down a few of my impression of the show.
Amaluna was a very fast pace show, compare to all of the other ones I've seen. Most Cirque shows has distinguishly slower sequences at times, but almost the entire first part of Amaluna was fast pace acts accompanied by rock n' roll music, which I was a total surprise. Even the aerial contortion act were fast pace! It was also a very female oriented show, where both the plot and performers were predominately females, yet you don't find it being too "girly", if you know what I mean. The story was very easy to follow and the comedic relieves were mostly on point. As for the show stealer act, I can't speak highly enough of it. As I recall, there were many acts from different shows of Cirque that I love, but only a handful of them had my jaw dropped: Alegría's power tracks, Quidam's statue and Kooza's wheel of death, and I have to add Amaluna's "balance goddess" into the list. I can't emphasized how amazing to watch the talented Lara Jacobs creating an art piece right in front of you with nothing but herself and pieces of woods. It was so simple yet out-of-the-world difficult, slow but heart-pounding. If there was one act that gets your money worth, it was this. Of course, every single segment of the show was fantastic, but I will always remember how zen it was to witness Lara ending her piece.
Overall, Amaluna is definitely amongst the favourites of all Cirque's shows I've watched. I love each of the show for very different reasons and one day I'd like to explore more about them, but for now, I highly recommend Amaluna to anyone who has yet to see Cirque du Soleil live or to those who are veteran sun followers.
A tragic lost of one life spurred many fountains of life; a difference of one life changed the people around him forever. We often think we are too small to change; we often think we are too young to do something. Never underestimate what one wish can do; never underestimate one life can do. Two videos, two stories; equally inspirational.
To say that I'm not a potato kind of guy is an understatement. I am pretty Westernized in most parts, compare to a lot of my Asian friends who were born outside of North America, but when it comes to my diet, I can not be more Chinese. I enjoy the occasional steak and hot-dog, but if I haven't had rice for a few days, I can physically feel that my body is missing something. In Chinese, we call this missing "rice-chi" (飯氣), basically means lacking the energy of rice. What worse is nothing can replace this craving, I have to have actual rice! In Chinese we have a slang called "rice bucket" (飯桶), referring to people who are idiots. As I'm a literally a human "rice bucket" with the way I consume rice, I often get called that.
When we talk about non-Asian food, I am pretty much not a fan of potato and bread, which, funny enough, are the stable carbs in the Western diet, just like rice for Asians. Pasta is okay though, but similar to potatoe and bread, I can only eat so much before I find it way too stuffy and unhealthily filling. This extend to almost all potato and bread-based food like chips, fries and biscuits, with two exceptions: McDonald's fries Calbee potato chips.
Like many kids with similar background as I do, going to McDonald's was a huge treat when we were growing up. And despite many American Chinese restaurants has deep fried items on their menu, traditional Chinese food hardly have anything that is deep fried, so having McDonald's fries were exotic enough for me as a kid, that even till now knowing they soaked their fries in tons of sugar and vinegar, I still like them a lot. Calbee chips, on the other hand, I had quite a bit while growing up.
In Japan, Calbee is one of the biggest snack manufacturers. Their shrimp cracker sticks (kappa ebissen) were what made them well-known. In their selection of snacks, my favourite has always been their chips, in particular their BBQ flavour chips. As I recall, it might have been the first chips I've ever had. Compare to regular chips in North America, it has a slightly stronger flavour yet way less salt, so you can taste the chips better. They call it BBQ but to be honest, it taste more like roasted or baked. Nevertheless, like my stable diet, rice, whenever I have craving for chips, I just want these Calbee chips as they are pretty awesome.
Up until very recently, I thought this is their standard flavour, as when they introduced Calbee in the 70's Hong Kong, that's the only flavour they offered. However, I found out this flavour only exist in Hong Kong and Sigapore market! (On their website, they listed a flavour called "Sapporo Barbecue Flavor" that was introduced in 1974. I've never tried it, but maybe that was the origin of the BBQ flavour known today.) Apparently, they have different type of flavours for different market; that is why when I tried to locate them in Austin, Texas, I can only find all other exotic flavours like Seaweed and Salt but not my favourite BBQ kind!
Anyway, on a night I'm slightly bummed out that my right knee is a little sore from training too hard, these Calbee chips with a can of Pepsi is making my life pretty darn good.

Miscommunication contributes to a large portion of malpractice cases.
Once that visit starts and the physician gets more information, it may be an opportunity for them to tell a patient, you know, I'm really sorry but after speaking with you, and hearing about what your issues are for the last 10 or 15 minutes, I'm very uncomfortable continuing in this way and I feel strongly that we really need to see you in person or you need to see some physician in person.
And for a patient, that might actually be comforting, compared to just telling patients they have to come in right off the bat.
For a patient to now know that despite a physician's attempt to see them virtually, they really felt strongly that the risk of coming in is not as great as the risk of not coming in.

Telehealth, or virtual care is more popular than ever. The Covid pandemic has seen to that, but what are the patient safety and risk management issues related to virtual visits, and how has the pandemic affected all of this?
We'll be joined by two national experts on this topic. First, Dr. Joseph Kvedar, Senior Advisor in Virtual Care at Massachusetts General Brigham, and Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kvedar is also President of the American Telemedicine Association.
Q.) Thank you for joining us, Dr. Kvedar.
A.) It's a pleasure, Tom, to be with you and your listeners.
Q.) You've been a leader in something called 'telemedicine' for many years. Can you help us with some simple definitions so we're all are on the same page about what we're talking about? This is all in the context of today's movement away from in-person health care because of COVID.
A.) Well the broadest term really is "digital health," and that includes anything that uses computer technology to change health care delivery, and that can be as broad as electronic records or robotic process automation or things like that. I think what we're really talking more about today is telehealth, but the core of it is clinical interactions that we used to think were limited to the office but being done now using technology.
Q.) Where do you think the priority attention is at the moment because providers are seeing how much they can redirect in person health care to virtual visits? What are some real high-level basics that must be thought out and executed well?
A.) Well at the most fundamental, what I've been encouraging doctors to do is to analyze very carefully the information they need to make a diagnosis or a therapeutic decision and whether they can achieve those data without touching the patient. If, for some reason you need a physical exam maneuver or the patient needs to come to a facility for some interaction like, say, for an ophthalmologist you have to put your head in the slit lamp, you have to put your head in the autorefractor, anything like that just shouldn't be done by telehealth because it's fundamentally going to give you short change as a clinician. But anything where you can comfortably make those decisions without touching the patient is fair game, so that's the highest level. I think other things come in such as authentication, making sure that the patient is the patient, that the doctor is the doctor, making sure that if there are, for instance, readings on devices, let's say we're doing blood pressure from the home. Usually the state of the art is to calibrate those blood pressure devices in the office with the patient in the office and then send them home so that they can collect blood pressure readings and we know what they mean according to the ones we're taking in the office. Blood glucose similarly, etc., so those are some of the high-level concerns.
Q.) Where have we typically seen malpractice claims in this space, would you expect anything to be different now?
A.) Well, it's interesting so I published a paper in April of 2019 I believe with a colleague in JAMA, a short letter on malpractice claims and digital health, and we didn't at that time find any case law. It wasn't an exhaustive search, and I wouldn't ever say that that means there is no case law, but it is rare and I've been following the field for 27 years. It's been rare right along. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be thoughtful about risk management and mitigation and those sorts of things, but it's been rare. The few cases that have come up, and this gets back to you and I talking about definitions, are things like internet prescribing for substances where someone never had an interaction with a doctor. Those kinds of cases have come up from time to time.
Q.) One of the top patient safety and risk management concerns might be the decision whether to see a patient virtually or not. What are some key guide posts?
A.) Yes, I agree with that and again, that's what people are learning now. And I think, not to make it sound instinctive because all that we do should be thought out and data-driven, but as a clinician, I really believe we develop a sense of when we're delivering quality care or not. And if you just feel like this isn't quite right, then I think abort, and have the patient come in the office.
Q.) Do we have a modern set of practice standards for this new medical world we're in or do they need updating?
A.) I think updating. It is very specialty specific, and the specialty societies are really the right vehicles to be having these conversations about what is best done via telehealth and what's best done in the office. And I think I mentioned mental health. The physical exam in mental health is talking to the patient. So you can do almost 100 percent of mental health this way, yet other specialties are going to be much more metered if they involve procedural things or very, very hard-to-reproduce physical exam findings, things like that.
Q.) Thank you, Dr. Kvedar.
A.) It's always a pleasure, Tom, and very important topic that you're addressing here.
Joseph Kvedar, Senior Advisor in Virtual Care at Massachusetts General Brigham and Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School.
Also joining us on this segment is Dr. David Feldman. Dr. Feldman is a surgeon and is the Chief Medical Officer for The Doctors Company, which is the nation's largest physician-owned malpractice insurer.
Q.) Dr. Feldman, thank you for joining us.
A.) A pleasure to be with you.
Q.) You have been helping providers use telemedicine and think about the risks and safety measures for virtual health for a long time. What's different now that you see that needs our attention, and what guidance has The Doctors Company given to its insureds?
A.) That's a great question, Tom, and times certainly have changed. We know that telemedicine is being used exponentially more than it had prior to the pandemic, and we don't believe that it's ever going back to the way it was, which I think in many ways is a good thing both for patients and physicians. Physicians do need to think about the risks with telehealth and to begin with the first question one needs to ask him or herself is, is this the right way to see this patient and that was always the case. The Doctors Company, our mission is to advance, protect and reward the practice of good medicine, and practicing good medicine means making the right decisions and going with your gut sometimes about whether patients should really be seen virtually or in person. Especially now during the pandemic, when a physician might be confronted with a patient who is very fearful of coming to any kind of health care facility. Many patients are, we know that, whether it's a doctor's office or a hospital.
Having that first triage, if you will, and doctors often can have their office staff be part of that to make a determination about which kinds of patients should be seen in person and which kinds of patients can be seen via telehealth. Some of that depends on the type of visit it is. Patients are going to be more likely to opt for a telehealth visit, but once that visit starts and the physician gets more information, it may be an opportunity for them to tell a patient, you know, 'I'm really sorry but after speaking with you, and hearing about what your issues are for the last 10 or 15 minutes, I'm very uncomfortable continuing in this way and I feel strongly that we really need to see you in person or you need to see some physician in person.' And for a patient, that might actually be comforting, compared to just telling patients they have to come in right off the bat. For a patient to now know that, despite a physician's attempt to see them virtually, they really felt strongly that the risk of coming in is not as great as the risk of not coming in. That's what medicine is, it's balancing risks so I think giving patients that kind of information can be helpful and actually enhance the doctor/patient relationship and the whole experience.
Q.) If we sort of go back to what we've always been talking about with telemedicine or with virtual health visits, what are some of the top line basics about practicing telemedicine safely that we would talk about even without COVID.
A.) Oh sure, well, you know, the big three we think about with any telehealth visit even before COVID were licensing, privacy, and payment, and all of those have changed. They are likely to keep changing, although many of us hope they don't go back to the way they were. The most important thing to remember as a physician practicing telemedicine is where your patient is and where you are. Even though you're doing this virtually, it's still practicing medicine and you have to have a license to practice medicine where the patient is and where you are typically. And every state is different. We know this in the malpractice world. Malpractice rules are all different and licensing issues are too. There are some resources out there where you get at multiple states rules, but if it was me, especially if it was only a few states that I intended to practice telehealth in, I'd want to go right to that state's medical board site and make sure I understand what their current rules are. Many of them have relaxed the rules because of the pandemic. We don't know how long that's going to last, and some of those rules may change depending on governor executive orders and so forth. But it's worth checking before starting if you're going to be doing visits outside your state to make sure you have the ability to practice medicine in those states.
There are some ways to do this easily. Some states actually have a special telemedicine license and there is something called the Interstate Licensing Medical Compact, I believe, which is for about half the states. It allows you to more easily obtain a regular license in the state if you have one in another state.
Privacy is another issue, we know that the HIPAA regulations have been suspended for the pandemic so that you can use lots of different devices and programs. But I would suggest, since I really believe telehealth is not going away, that physicians really think about if they are going to start down this road, getting a HIPAA-compliant program to start with, and that way you're protected regardless of what happens. And I think it's just good practice, especially if you're doing sensitive things. The payment issues, that's a whole another topic. They have been relaxed and changed in a way that makes it practical to do this. We'll see if that holds up, but that's a more practical thing than a risk thing.
Q.) Right, and it's difficult to talk about a specific case, but what would be a real-world kind of example of a case with a patient or family conflict that didn't go well, or one that did, involving telehealth?
A.) It's pretty unusual to be honest. When you look at the overall picture of malpractice claims, telehealth is a very small part of it or it has been in the past. We'll see what happens going forward and malpractice lags everything else, so we won't really know what the pandemic's impact on telehealth as a component of malpractice claims will be for a number of years. But we do know in the past, even though it was pretty unusual, it typically involved missed diagnoses, often cancer misdiagnoses. If somehow in your differential there's something that really requires some type of examination you can't do, and if you don't do it and you miss that diagnosis, that's a problem, obviously. That could lead to a delayed or missed diagnosis or wrong diagnosis and a bad outcome for a patient and a potential lawsuit. So if based on your history, you start hearing things from what the patient is telling you that you know in order to evaluate, you're going to need something more than what you can do on a telehealth visit, that's the time to stop and have the patient come in. Use your best judgment as they say, because I think that could really end up being a problem.
Q.) Are there ways to even think about virtual health care as a way to make things safer?
A.) Well certainly. There are things you can do, and there are great examples of it. Certainly behavioral health is an ideal type of medicine to be practiced virtually, since most of those interactions are really conversations with patients and if you can do that virtually, it's a lot safer in the current pandemic certainly. It's also safer because patients don't have to go anywhere. It's easier. We know in stressed communities, patients often can't afford the bus fare to get to a doctor's office. Now some would argue they may not be able to afford to have a phone either, that's true. But there's some interesting data that actually comes from New York City Health And Hospitals, which is a safety net system, and they found that patients actually have more resources than we think when it comes to the ability to do these kinds of visits and they are more amenable to it. So I think we shouldn't be relying on myths and talk, and we really should see what the data shows. And I think we'll find that patients actually may be more able to do this. And if we can see patients where we weren't able to before, that's certainly safer to actually have an interaction even though it's virtual, it's not in person. I don't want to say it's better than nothing. I think in some ways it's better than what we were doing before, in some ways maybe not. But it opens up new avenues to be able to see patients that we couldn't see before and that's certainly going to lead better health care I think.
Q.) Dr. Feldman, thank you.
A.) Tom, it has been my pleasure and I hope everybody stays well and safe.

Rennie calls on SNP government to follow England and support guest houses and B&Bs
Originally published by Scottish Liberal Democrats
Scottish Liberal Democrat economy spokesperson Willie Rennie has today called on the SNP Government to follow the UK Government and provide grants for guest houses and B&Bs in the hard-hit tourism and hospital sector.
Scottish Guest Houses and B&Bs have been excluded from the recent grant support allocated in Scotland, while similar businesses in England have been told they will be receiving up to £15,000.
Mr Rennie said:
"Despite tighter restrictions in Scotland and a massive loss in trade for this important set of small businesses in is astonishing that the SNP Government have cut B&Bs and Guest Houses out from support.
"It is especially frustrating because the UK Government are funding similar businesses south of the Border.
"The sector has lost huge sums because of the caution urged on the domestic market and also the travel restrictions which means they have missed out on the valuable Chinese and American custom.
"This may be the final nail in the coffin for many of them so I hope the SNP Government is able to change this to provide the support they need."


April 20th, 2013 KPE association elected Judith Christoph as guide general commissioner, Marcus Morath as chairman, Maria Hylak as national secretary and Thomas Rieger once again as scout general commissioner. Welcome to Judith and Marcus ! Thank you and "Gut Pfad" to Günter Arend, Hanni Christoph and Kornelia Schneider after their years of service !
Here is the theme for the Scout Film Festival in its 5th edition.
The festival was born in 2002 on the initiative of the French Confederation of Scouting which includes the "Eclaireurs Neutres de France" (Neutral Scouts of France), the "Fédération des Eclaireurs et Eclaireuses" (Federation of Scouts and Girl Scouts) as well as the Association of Guides and Scouts of Europe.
This day is an opportunity to see the movies in competition of less than a minute and less than fifteen minutes all made by scouts. Open to all branches as well as scoutmaster groups and regardless of the nationality (French subtitles must be included), this event is an opportunity to develop new skills, meet Scouts from other movements and promote the scouting spirit on the screen.
Christophe Charly, the head of the festival, also plans novelties for this year with the opening of a forum with scout writers and illustrators like Emmanuel Beaudesson, Bruno Robert, Laure Bonnet, and a picture exhibition.
So grab your camera, write your scenarios and make it to Paris on November 23th to share your vision on Scouting with us and to have a fraternal time of exchange with other movements!
Here's the link to the 5th Scout Film Festival web!
Inscriptions can be done also internationally – it's an open event to all UIGSE members!

Creating a password protected zip file is easy in Mac OS X and does not require any add-ons or downloads. Instead, use the zip utility that is bundled with all Macs.
This offers a simple way to protect a zip archive file from unwanted viewing access, as when a user attempts to decompress the contents of the zip archive, the correct password must be entered in order for the archive to extract.
If you're not sure how to use that, read on to learn how to create zip archives encrypted with passwords. These encrypted zip files will maintain password protection across platforms, meaning you can send a protected zip file to a Windows user and they will still need to enter the password in order to view the contents.
The resulting archive, in this case named "archivename.zip", is now encrypted with the password provided. The file that was encrypted, "filetoprotect.txt", is now inaccessible without entering that password.
This is particularly important for encrypting zips of multiple files under OS X Mavericks.
Notice the password will not display, this is normal behavior for the Terminal.
Notice that with a folder of multiple files, you will want to use the -er flag, the addition of the r indicates that zip will recursively compress and password protect all files in the folder.
While this can provide some protection on a per-file or folder basis, it's always a good idea to password protect the Mac in general with a login requirement on system boot, wake from sleep, and waking from the screen saver.
Keep in mind that password protected zip files are not encrypted with some super strong deep encryption method, so if you want a more secure file encryption, you may want to pass a regular zip file through openSSL encryption with des3 or something similar to really make the file secure.
Good tip for casual use. Using openssl for encryption would be a better choice for anything truly sensitive to prying eyes.
Encrypt with 3DES? That's far from secure, should be at least AES-128 or so.
Unarchiver might be screwing it up, the bundled Archive Utility opens these without incident.
doesn't work on Mavericks.creates the file but when I try to unzip it there is only an empty folder with no content + doesn't ask for password during unzipping.
Password protecting zips does indeed work in Mavericks, you must follow the instructions. Passwords for the zip files are automatically saved, thus it won't ask for the password unless you choose NOT to save the password when entering it.
One condition that will cause an empty archive: If the user operating the ZIP utility doesn't have permission to read from and write to the folder being compressed. Before ZIPping, set the permissions for the folder so that you, the user, can read and write (in the Get Info panel).
It does seem that the original file name has to include the path or the file can't be found. The easiest way to do that is to drag the original file into the Terminal window after the 'archivename.zip' — Terminal will put in the path and file name.
• Is there any way to create the encrypted-zipped file and have it land in the same location as the original file?
• Can Windows users open the resulting encrypted-zipped file?
Double-clicking or using the unzip from command line works for myself.
Seems easier to just use Stuffit, Unarchiver, or any number of the other free GUI utilities out there.
Don't get me wrong, nice to have options.
I keep getting "zip error: nothing to do!" as a response. I don't see how I could be messing this up, but apparently I am. Any ideas why?
As a response to what specifically?
I'm getting the same response "zip error: nothing to do". Is there a remedy to this?
Yes, you need to specify the full path to the file you're trying to ZIP and it cannot have any blank spaces in it. So if the file is in a folder named, for example, "This and That," change that folder's name to "This-and-That" and then specify the full path to it (for example, ~/Documents/This-and-That/fileToCompress.doc, not just fileToCompress.doc).
Silly question, but what about just making a standard zip file? How do you do that?
To make a zip first click on the file then go to file then compress. That should work.
Got Lion und have a similar problem.
Got a valid zip file with option "-e" after entered a password.
But the status message is "stored 0%"!
The zip file is not! encrypted and more the twice as big as the normal zipped file with the finder.
Does anyboby no what I make wrong?
I'm in Lion and the compression works fine. It asks for the password and verify and zips the file. When I double click on the zip file it just opens without asking for a password.? I guess I'll look for some archiving software that has password protection.
What? There is no option to save the password in the keychain in Terminal that I am aware of.
hi i try to follow this .. but after pasting zip -e archivename.zip filetoprotect.txt i can't proceed typing the password.. well i type a pw but the cursor doesn't move at all. what am doing wrong?
I tried this as well. I am unable to type a password. We are missing something.
Hello how do you unzip from command? I try double clicking the file with a password protected zip file, but it doesn't work. Thank you.
hello. also confirming this does not create a password protected archive in lion just as TJ discovered. there is no checkmark for "save password" in the command line. so… what do we do?
quick followup – the original post instructions do not work, as mentioned. however, following rachel's instructions above, using "-ejr" instead of only "-e" worked just fine in lion. archive was encrypted.
only negative – i use "the unarchiver" as my unzip utility – this password protection froze it. but, the default mac utility works fine.
you'd think something as simple as zip password protection would be easily implemented into the OS, and on top of that would be compatible. i mean, come on apple!
In snow leopard, the archive is created, but double clicking on it throws an Error 1 – Operation Not Permitted.
The trick is not to include the dollar-sign ($) when you're copying the command above. The dollar sign is shown in the Terminal before each command you type and so that's why it's shown up there.
(the "r" after the "-e" just means to also ZIP up any contents of a folder if you specify one; that's necessary to ZIP up a folder—password or not—at least on Lion).
I have an archive that has been created and encrypted on a PC, which contains three different files, one of them with a different password. Under Lion, if I simply double click on it, I get Error 1 – Operation not permitted.
after providing the password when prompted, the file is extracted fine.
In Snow Leopard I had to type cd ~/Desktop (it is on my desktop) in order to make this work, it didn't find the file just from including the pathname with the filename….
1. Once you have Terminal open, use the "cd" command to change to the folder the file is in. The easiest way to do this is to write "cd " (that is, type c, then d, then space), then drag the folder your file is in over the Terminal window and press Return. That tells Terminal to "change directory" to the folder you dragged in.
2. Instead of just writing the filename, you can put the full path to the file instead. The easiest way to do _that_ is to drag the file itself onto the Terminal window instead of typing out its name. So then the steps would be to type "zip -e DVD_VR.zip " (including the space) and then drag your file into the Terminal window, then press return.
The ZIP file will go into the folder you're currently in in Terminal (so if you don't change to the directory your file is in first, your ZIP will actually be put in your home directory.
As mentioned in the article, when typing the password, the cursor will not move (typical when working in the terminal). Type as you would normally, hit enter, then confirm the password by typing it a second time (cursor won't move).
Thanks for this, just used it with great success.
7) Double-clicked the archive and was asked for pwd.
Voila, folder created on my desktop with the three (3) files inside (I wasn't sure if it was adding to the Archive or over-writing.. now we know — it was adding!).
I tried and tired to do this with mavericks, and it kept giving me a 0% file. Then I found this website, with the same instructions except their command line starts "zip -er" instead of "zip 'e". It worked like a charm.
I cannot confirm that password protection is working cross platforms.
I have used the terminal command "zip -er [archive] [folder]" as advised above under OS X Mavericks. A password protected archive.zip was created as expected. To extract the ZIP-file in Mavericks I had to enter the password as expected. But the I moved the ZIP-file to Dropbox and downloaded it with Windows Vista. Clicking the ZIP-file showed immediately the files in the contents of the archive, without any need to enter a password.
Trying to open one of the files in the content caused a window to open asking for the password (on file-level not on archive-level). After I entered the password as used for creating the archive under Mavericks resulted in an error message like "the file cannot be opened, it may be damaged". Using Microsoft OneDrive instead of Dropbox resulted in the same behavior. I am too lazy to test now the other way round, if I would create a password protected ZIP-archive in Windows and send this one to Mavericks but I would expect this way to work. My conclusion: it seems like the Apple way does not keep the conventions.
Had the same precise situation with Yosemite.
I too am having problems making this work in Snow Leopard. I can successfully create an encrypted ZIP file of a PDF. And I can successfully unzip using Terminal and entering my password. However I cannot simply double click the ZIP file for it to unzip. I get an error (Error 1 – Operation not permitted). This leaves me to believe it is a Permissions problem, as suggested above. The permissions for my Desktop are read only for everyone other than the owner (me). How and where should I store the PDF and subsequent ZIP to allow full permissions. I dont want to get into messing around with Desktop permissions, it's a slippery slope to never ending problems in my experience.
What I want is an automator workflow finder addon that allows me to right click a zip and add a password.
Mike Flugennock (and anyone else who cares) in the same terminal window where you entering the zip command, at the prompt enter "ls filetoprotect.txt" (minus the quotes) and if you get "no such file or directory" that means you are not in the directory ("folder") where the file is.
You have to cd (change directory) to where the file is or specify the full path. If there are spaces in the path surround the entire file name with double-quotes (") or put a backslash '\' before each space as in file\ to\ protect.txt for "file to protect.txt".
Better yet, before you hit return (enter) type the Tab key. Terminal will beep at you if it can't find a file matching the name. As a matter of fact, if you type "zip -e xmisc.zip filetopr" (minus the quotes and then type the Tab key if the file exists Terminal should fill in the rest of the name for you assuming only one match or it will beep if more than one file matches.
Sorry, that's a lot of info to digest – and I only come here when researching so if you ask I may not reply.
Got it! You don't cd to the directory but one level up.
The problem with all of these password procedures is that gmail will not allow you to attach a file that is a zip file within a zip file.
Compressing the file first and then password protecting it causes gmail to see it as a zip file within a zip file and it won't let you attach it.
Installing keka worked for me.
So, am I correct in believing there is no built-in way to do this from the GUI without using third-party software?
Why do we need to do anything anymore via command line??? Surely Apple include a GUI way of doing this? Suddenly feels like a time warp back to the 1990's….. I had a go at the command line approach and failed. Any help most welcome!!

Twitter hasn't had a very good relationship with auto-cropping. Images just haven't historically displayed very well on the platform.
Fortunately that is soon changing. The company recently announced that it is dropping crop on the web altogether on both its Android and iOS apps.
It may seem like a small change but Twitter's auto-cropping algorithm was at the heart of a controversy last year. That was when it was pointed out that there was evidence that the company's auto-cropping algorithm favored white faces over black faces resulting in black faces getting cut out and white faces displayed more prominent.
Research into the issue revealed a minor bias but the issue wasn't as serious as was being described. The company nonetheless decided to disable the feature and now it seems that it's going away for good.
The coolest aspect of the change is that rather than getting a clumsily cropped image preview of your tweet viewers will get to see the entire image. That matters especially if you're in the habit of posting memes which often lose much of their punch and impact if you can't see the whole thing. Worse is that relatively fewer people are likely to click on your tweet to see the complete image if it's cropped in such a way that it's hard to tell what it is.
We applaud Twitter's decision here. They weren't very good at auto-cropping anyway. Abandoning the feature makes the platform richer and more interesting. That's the kind of thing that attracts users and advertising dollars. So kudos to Twitter all around.
It's also great from a marketing perspective. So if your business leverages the power of Twitter there's even more to smile about. You won't have to worry that your image heavy advertisements and branding tweets are getting cropped in inconvenient ways.

Smoke and fire damage repair is very important if you have experienced a fire at your home. Whilst you may be tempted to throw everything away, rather than attempting to salvage it, there is actually a lot of items which can be saved using simple fire damage repair techniques. Paying an expert to help you out after a fire may actually be less expensive than discarding all of your possessions and buying new ones. It also means that you will be able to keep many items which have sentimental or technological value to you, or are important in other ways. If you are worried that fire or smoke has damaged your technical equipment, then you should always contact an expert before proceeding.
If you think that your TV, music system, computer, laptop or any other electrical appliance may have been affected by heat damage or by smoke, you should refrain from turning the device on until it has been checked over by a fire damage repair specialist. Not only could turning the device on be dangerous (the heat may have allowed the electricity to bypass safety connections), it could also irreparably short circuit the device.
Smoke contains carbon which could have coated important components of the device and this could seriously affect the way that the device works. If it has been ascertained that there is soot or smoke residue in your devices, you should not plug them in until they have been completely cleaned. The carbon in soot can bridge circuits, so that your devices will not work as they are supposed to. Improper handling could end up wiping all of your data, and the machine may not be salvageable. The residue will also act as an insulator on any heat producing elements in your devices (there are lots of these in computers and TVS), meaning that these elements will not be able to cool down properly. If these elements are unable to cool down properly, it is highly likely that they will overheat and fail, which will damage the device. Lastly, smoke is normally highly acidic, and contains other corrosive elements which will cause pitting and oxidization. The components in your electronic devices will then corrode more quickly than they should, which will lead to your devices failing prematurely.
If you think that your electronic devices have been affected by heat or smoke damage, take them to a fire damage repair specialist who is equipped to deal with technology. With electronic devices, the fire damage repair specialist may have to take the device apart, and then begin to clean every single component. In some cases, a few components may need to be replaced, in order for the whole device to continue to be operational. If they cannot help you to salvage the device, they may be able to help you to remove personal data from the device, so that you can access it in another way.

Two blogs you might be interested in.
The first is that of our friend and fellow Sentirist Joshua, Psallite Sapientier. Josh has just come back from a short holiday in South Australia catching up with Lutheran pals there such as the inestimable Pastor Fraser Pearce (now Pastor of Bethlehem, Flinders Street). He also went to the Barossa – my ancestoral happy hunting grounds (or at least grape-stomping grounds) – and visited the little church of Gnadenfrei at Marananga. A good friend of mine, Pastor David Spike, now Deputy Headmaster at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Croydon, was ordained there because his father was the resident pastor there at the time. Your correspondent, having been recently ordained himself, assisted at the ordination, as did (if memory serves me correctly) another good friend of mine and now the pastor to my wife and children at St Paul's Box Hill, Pastor Andrew Brook.
Speaking of ordinations, the other blog I wanted to feature is one that Joshua has only just brought to my attention, by the newly ordained Fr Nicholas Pearce at apriestdownunder.com. Fr Nick was ordained on Saturday here at St Pat's Cathedral (unfortunately I could not attend because I was home alone with a sick daughter), but he has some nice pictures of the ordination and his first mass on the blog. He seems to be quite prolific in his blogging – obviously relishing the new found freedom beyond the walls of the Seminary. Soon pastoral life will kick in and I guess the volume of the blogging will decrease a little, but we can be certain that the quality will be maintained. Nick has been blogging since August, and looks set to become our local "Fr Z." at this rate. Congratulations on your ordination, Fr Pearce, and welcome to the SCE blogroll! I hope you will find time among your many priestly duties to drop in for a glass of port at the SCE commentary table!
You must tell us more about the Barossa, or Neu-Schlesien (New Silesia) as I believe they first named it.
