Myanmar – Every day is a highlight!
Since I've returned from South East Asia, people are continually asking me what was my highlight, where was my favorite spot. The best answer I can come up with is 'All of Myanmar'. It amazes me to think back about my trip that was only a couple of months ago and think about this beautiful, largely undiscovered country.
Take for example the morning that a small group of us did a little photo tour to an area just outside the downtown area of Yangon. We walked for about 15 minutes and were outside of the business district, watching the city wake up and begin bustling with locals preparing a small market. We were there before sunrise and saw the monks lining up for their morning rounds and collection. I'm really not sure who was more curious, them or us. It is so incredibly interesting to go to an area where tourists are so rare that they actually become an attraction in the place they've gone to visit. I'll admit, I was a bit shy, not knowing how to approach or talk to the monks, but soon enough I came to understand that they were happy to see us and happy to practice their English skills.
I wandered around taking a few photographs and then one of the locals invited us in to the monastery to enjoy a local breakfast. A few minutes later the group of us were taking off our socks and shoes and following the kind man into a large dining area filled with locals. Barely with our bums in the seats, local men and women were coming out of the kitchen area with various dishes in hand and filling the table with typical breakfast consisting of rice, noodles, fish soup and then sweet sticky rice came along a little later. They filled our bowls and when we were done, they immediately appeared to fill them up again. They certainly didn't want us to leave hungry. These were the community members who came together to cook food for the monks at this monastery, but the monks were all out on collection at the time. After we finished our meal, we were surprised as the locals gathered around and wanted their photos taken with us. It was only my second day in Myanmar and I was already learning that tourists were as much of an attraction as the attractions were to the tourists.
With an open mind, even the simplest of pleasures can turn out to be a highlight of the trip. Similar to most, I expected extreme poverty. After all it is one of the poorest countries in Asia. To my surprise, our overnight bus from Yangon to Mandalay was beautiful, high end and even had a hostess on board. It was comfortable, with reclining seats to a much better decline than standard buses. Each of us was given a thick warm, fuzzy blanket and a hostess was available for questions and assistance throughout the night. On top of that, the recently built divided highway was mostly smooth sailing and despite the rain, I didn't feel fearful or uncomfortable at all throughout the night. I just laid back and slept.
Most of the tours that are offered to Burma / Myanmar, range from 12 – 17 days. Sadly, I was on a shortened version and had to pack as much as possible into only 10 spectacular days. Because of the shortened itinerary, we had only one full day to explore that wonders of beautiful Mandalay. Although the core of the city itself isn't really a highlight, there are lots of beauties to enjoy on the outskirts. A few hours to half a day can be spent enjoying the beauty, history and culture of the ancient U Bein bridge in Amarapura. Just simply watching the way of life, traveling by boat across the lake and then returning by walking across the 1.2 km ancient teak wood bridge. Along the way you can stop and taste local delicacies, take in the spectacular views and meet a few new local friends selling souvenirs.
Don't be put off though, despite the fact that they are there to make a living and sell their wares, I found the local kids particularly respectful, friendly and interesting. We only had about an hour to spend, which was far too rushed for this beautiful spot, but in that hour I managed to take a boat ride to the middle of the lake and then return on foot across the bridge. I met a young girl who walked back to the main land with me. We chatted about her family, her schooling and life on the lake. Her English was excellent, she was friendly and she didn't ask me to buy anything until we were nearly back to the main land. It was at this time that I bargained with her a little and purchased two necklaces … one with jade elephants and the other with amber.
We spent the remainder of our day in Mandalay crossing the Irrawaddy river to Mingun, a small community with some big claims to fame. The tiny community hosts the world's largest bell (over two tonnes of iron), the unfinished, Pahtodawgyi pagoda and the beautiful Hsinbyume pagoda. We spent a couple of hours wandering around, visiting the sites and dodging rain, which came and went in fits and spurts. Although the rain slowed us down a little as we waited for it to stop under the cover of a big leafy tree, it certainly didn't ruin the experience and I wouldn't change it for a second and replace it with a mass of tourists. I'd much rather travel in green season dodging a bit of rain than dodging hundreds of tourists. Having said that, it'll be quite some time before Mingun sees hundreds of tourists at one time.
Possibly the largest and best known attraction in Burma is the community of Bagan where they boast over 2100 pagodas, temples and structures in 42 square kilometers. The desert landscape dotted with structures of all shapes and sizes is absolutely spectacular. Take the time to see it at sunrise and sunset; it is truly spectacular. You can spend hours biking amongst the structures on dirt roads winding through ancient old Bagan. But, beware of the heat. Make sure you have sunscreen, lots of water and a hat to keep the sun off your face. Although the land is nearly flat, the heat adds it's own challenges to your physical abilities. Stop often and discover as many of the structures as you can. Each one is unique and the art and architecture will amaze you time and time again.
After enjoying the beauty of Bagan for a couple of days, we were off for a short visit to the Mt. Popa area. Mt. Popa is a volcano and an area that you can hike, but we simply passed over and twisted around the big mountain with a stop in the community to hear about the spiritual nats that are worshiped at the pagoda atop a mountain. Oh yes, and to meet the cheeky little Macque monkeys that scatter the town. If you have time, you can climb the 777 steps to the beautiful monastery at the top of the mountain, but beware as the monkeys live and play along the way, so I hear it is dirty and smelly.
Our next stop was a lovely lunch and visit to an elephant conservation camp. Hearing the story of how the organization started and how they have retired five or six elephants from the lumber industry to live peacefully and well taken care of until the end of their lives was inspirational. This organization has purchased these elephants, each of their handlers (Mahoot) and the Mahoot's family. Not only have they given the elephants a respectful home, but also have created a community and schooling for the Mahoots and their families. We had the amazing opportunity to feed the elephants banana snacks and then help bathe them in the river. They are so large, yet so quiet and gentle. I stood mere inches from their mouths, which were big enough to swallow me whole, and I grinned ear to ear with excitement the entire time.
Last, but not least, we visited beautiful Inle Lake, which had different, yet incredible feel. As you can imagine, life on a lake is quite different from life on land. From the local market that we visited to the leg-rowing fisherman balancing on one leg on their flat boats, to the craft industry workshops – seeing the local way of life was eye-opening and incredible. Again, we were a bit rushed as our trip was a condensed version, but we managed to see the highlights and even take in the largely undiscovered and quiet Indein where there was not another tourist to be seen amongst the many hundreds of stupas and structures. Magical is not a word strong enough to describe the experience.
At the end of the trip we asked if it was possible to visit an orphanage or monastery and arrangements were made for our last evening in Yangon. We made a donation to the orphanage and had a tour of where schooling takes place, where the children sleep and the communal areas. Then we had the amazing opportunity to dish out food as the young monks gathered for supper. Young boys as little as four years old walked up to the serving area perfectly mannered. If we gave them too much of something, they politely put a portion back. It was a great lesson in humility and understanding to only take what you need and leave the rest for someone else. Of course, the monks were allowed to come back for seconds, so no need to waste food! Take only what is needed and if they are still hungry come back for more.
It's simple, every single activity, every single day was a highlight. There was something new, exciting and simply beautiful around every corner and I just couldn't get enough. 10 days was a great overview and a taste for the amazing destination, but easily I could spend a month exploring just the nooks and crannies of the 'tourist' areas, not to mention the lesser visited areas. And, as tourism begins to grow, more and more areas will be open for exploration by foreigners. In my opinion, Myanmar is a destination to be visited now, before it explodes in popularity, and then visited again and again as the economy gets stronger and new areas open up. There's nothing quite like seeing a destination that isn't used to tourists and getting an authentic feel for the people, the culture, the food and the beauty without the corruption of the tourist traps. Go see this destination soon to get an authentic feeling for the country. Then, explore it again later as more destinations open up. You won't be disappointed.
NOTE: My fabulous tour was with Tucan Travel. The are a small group adventure company with hundreds of tours to choose from. However, I highly recommend them for their Spiritual Burma Tour. I was on a condensed version, but the full trip would be amazing!
Next up was a short, but sweet visit to U Bein Bridge in Amarapura. This bridge connects an island to the main land, spanning the Taungthaman lake at 1.2kms long and is made from salvaged teak wood posts (or columns) from an old palace that was being moved from Amarapura to Mandalay. It was constructed in the 1850's. It is the world's longest teak bridge. The surprisingly sturdy teak-wood bridge is beautiful to look at and is of daily importance to the locals as they walk to and from the main land for work, school and markets.
It is best known to tourist for it's beauty at sunset and is one of Mandalay's most photographed destinations. Unfortunately, it was only a short stop for us, so I did not get to see it's beauty in the setting evening sun, but none-the-less, it was still amazing and full of life, functional and very active with locals. It was one area where we did see a couple of dozen other tourists, which is still incredibly miniscule.
Several of us opted to take a boat ride to the halfway point and then we walked back along the bridge (4000 kyat for 3 – 4 people). The heat was nearly unbearable, but the breeze on the water was refreshing. Along the way we saw people fishing from the bridge and from the water, as well as people swimming / bathing in the water.
On our way back each of us was approached by a child selling items. These children have been trained to 'make friends' with one tourist each rather than surrounding and bombarding all of the tourists at once. They love to practice their English with you and I found that the girls who 'friended' me were very polite and not pushy. They certainly told you about the items they had for sale, but they weren't demanding that you buy them. They were hoping if they had a chat with you, that you would be nice enough to buy them. I suppose this likely makes it harder for tourists to bargain as hard as well. At least for me, once I feel like I know someone a little, know about their family, their schooling etc, it is harder for me to offer them only half price.
I chatted with a young girl named Ehtoo for the walk back along the teak bridge. She spoke really good English, told me about her family and that she goes to school in the mornings, but has to work in the afternoons. She showed me the jewelry that she was selling. I wasn't interested and try really hard not to buy things if I'm not interested. But, the simple fact that she was trying to have a discussion and offering her items, but not pushing them on me … in the end I bought two necklaces from her for 12 000 kyat. She tried to get me to buy three for 15 000 but I simply wasn't interested. Sometimes I can just walk away, especially when I'm being swarmed and hounded. But, when I've had one-on-one time with someone, I find it much harder to say no.
I asked her if she made the jewelry herself, but she did not. She simply buys (or borrows) it from one of the larger stores on the teak bridge and then she gets a cut of what she sells. Although I would have much rather bought something that she actually made, or known that the money was going directly to her, but in the end, I guess she was making some money rather than no money and she was a really sweet kid.
At the Shwedagon Pagoda, our local guide took us to see a lovely old man who did an astrology reading for us based solely on our date and year of birth. He did his math on an old-school chalk board and spoke only the local language.
As each one of us went in, our local guide took notes and then translated the reading for us. Some of the group were amazed by how accurate he was. I, however, felt that it didn't work for me. You make your own judgement. Here's what my date and year of birth had to say about me.
On August 17 our group met as a whole for the first time. Travel agents from Australia, New Zealand, England and Canada along with our tour leader from Norway and our local Myanmar guide.
We set out for a walking tour of the city of Yangon. For the next four hours we wandered around the outside of many historic buildings in the city.
We got to visit the beautiful old rail station, a couple of churches, markets and beautiful, old abandoned buildings that were scheduled to be renovated into five star hotels.
We also got our first glimpse at the process of making the 'Myanmar-style' of chewing tobacco (bitter leaves) at a street vendor. They are also known to turn your teeth red. Mainly men chew the leaves of different strengths and then spit the red saliva on the ground or in garbage cans at restaurants.
Spitting everywhere is definitely something that I will never get used to in any city. Regularly I found myself avoiding red spots on the ground where men had spit, but after awhile, the spots became impossible to dodge.
We also stopped at a local tea-shop for snacks and drinks. I was incredibly surprised at the prevailance of Coke throughout the country, but many in our group drank the local Myanmar beer and a few gave the tea a go.
We also got to try local sweet and savory pastries of various kinds. I was the brave one to try small bites of many of them first. I'm actually not normally that brave with new foods, but pastries … well, how could you not like a pastry?
I'll tell you how … if it is made from Durian fruit.
Having never travelled to Asia before, this was a new smell and flavor for me, but most of the others were familiar with it. It is known for it's particularly pungent odor that quite reminds me of a public bathroom.
Then I took a little nibble.
Unfortunately, it tasted just like it smelled. A little like the smell of a public bathroom.
And, that was the end of that! No more Durian fruit for me.
We sat for another 10 minutes or so nibbling on the other pastries and treats, but there was no mistaking that I had cut into the durian pastry. For the next 10 minutes, the undeniable smell wafted over everyone, until we were ready to move along.
We wandered through several street markets filled with food, fresh produce and local treats.
As we headed back toward our hotel, and approached the historic Catholic Church, the rain started and we understood the meaning of monsoon season!
After a couple of hours of walking in the streets in the rain, we were off to the Strand Hotel for our welcome drinks.
Overall, a great afternoon of learning about Yangon's beautiful buildings, architectural history, and trying new foods.
Ever since I booked the trip to Asia back in April, I've known that I would be traveling in monsoon season. I tried not to research too many things before I came so I could experience things through my own eyes, but I did do a little research on the weather so I would know how to pack.
Throughout the southern part of Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia, there would be heavy rains most days for short periods of time and drizzle throughout the day. In the more northern parts of the countries, it would be just showers, not really heavy rainfall.
Just to be safe I packed two plastic ponchos, my good quality rain jacket that I never travel without and a small umbrella. To be honest, I'm glad I packed them all!
In Yangon, while out on our city walking tour we got caught in an afternoon downpour. Now, when I say downpour, it is actually quite unlike anything that we usually get in Canada. Although I suppose the freak rains / floods in Calgary and Toronto this summer likely compare. The rain comes on so fast and furious that you are nearly drenched before you can even open your umbrella. The rain comes down sideways and with a little wind, the umbrella isn't really helping you stay very dry at all. If you are lucky you can find a building to duck into, but who knows if the rains will last for minutes or hours.
In our case, on this particular day we took short cover in the Catholic Church while we were admiring the beauty. When it was time to go, we all gritted our teeth, put up our umbrellas and went along for the adventure!
None of us were dressed particularly appropriate for what we were about to encounter.
Long skirts, see-through shirts, sneakers … you name it and someone was wearing something inappropriate for the rain. Some of us had umbrellas, others were without.
We were soaked by the time we got to the street corner, regardless of umbrella size. Just around the street corner the rain had started to gather and it was impossible for it to drain away as quickly as it was falling. Soon enough, cars driving by were spraying us with water. There was no hiding and most drivers aren't considerate enough to slow down.
What seemed like an hour later (but likely only five minutes), we were crossing the already dangerous and busy streets on Yangon through rivers of rain flowing so heavy that they actually had current. Did I mention those rivers were knee-high in some areas? Most people (local and foreigners) were wearing flip flops (or thongs as the Aussies call them). So, on top of being in water up to our knees, the uneven ground was slippery and flip flops easily got lost in the water.
One of the travelers had been wearing sneakers and decided to go bare-foot, like many of the locals. Our local tour leader's flip flop broke and we had to stop at a store for her to buy a new pair. Luckily, I was wearing my favorite Merrill sports sandals, the type with straps so they don't fall off.
The day prior I had been wandering around Yangon on my own in my flip flops and in my short one hour stroll I managed to get two huge horrible blisters under the toe beside my big toe. Not only did they blister, but the skin tore off and they were left open and raw.
So, here I was on my second day in Yangon walking around in the dirty streets, with water to my knees. My feet were sore and all I could think about was that they were likely getting infected. Afterall, I would worry about that in Canada. Now, here in Asia, with the extra garbage and feces in the street, I was sure my feet would be black with infection the next day. Sounds gross, I know!
At the end of our walking tour, we finished at the beautiful Strand Hotel for a welcome drink. All of us sopping wet and embarrassed to even be entering such a beautiful hotel. None-the-less, we were welcomed with open arms, appetizers and a gin and tonic.
Despite being cold, wet and dirty, honestly, had we come in monsoon season and not experienced the torrential downpours, I think I might have been a little disappointed. I want to be able to tell people what to expect and that is all part of the experience.
Throughout the remainder of the tour we ran into a lot of showers, but rarely a downpour and after the first couple of days in Yangon, we were all prepared with rain gear and umbrellas no matter what the weather at the beginning of the day.
Although my raw, open blisters were incredibly sore for the next week, I washed them well that night, put some antibiotic cream and band aids on them and limped on my way.
After reading all of this, I'm sure many of you think this would be an absolutely dreadful vacation. In fact, it was not and it wouldn't stop me from doing it again in the 'off season'.
I've traveled to Peru and Ecuador in rainy season, Dominican Republic and Bermuda during hurricane season and now, South East Asia during monsoon season.
In my mind, the benefits of the beautiful lush greenery, the fewer tourists, lower prices, fresh fruit, produce and afternoon refreshing rains, outweigh the negatives of being drenched one or two days, with showers the other days. Monsoon or rainy season really means fast heavy rains, but they rarely last for a long time. There is often cloud cover or sunshine for the majority of the day, with only a few hours of rain.
Oh yes, and a word of the wise … don't try to dry your wet clothes in an air-conditioned room. You'll only end up with wet, cold clothes. Close your bathroom door and hang them to dry with the fan on. Like magic, they are bone dry the next morning.
Next time you consider traveling, think about 'monsoon' or 'rainy' season as being more relaxed, less busy and beautiful lush vegetation. It's all about the journey and your outlook on the situation dictates the outcome.

Q: Using an int as the numerical representation of a string in C# I'm trying to use an integer as the numerical representation of a string, for example, storing "ABCD" as 0x41424344.  However, when it comes to output, I've got to convert the integer back into 4 ASCII characters.  Right now, I'm using bit shifts and masking, as follows:
int value = 0x41424344;
string s = new string (
              new char [] {
                 (char)(value >> 24),
                 (char)(value >> 16 & 0xFF),
                 (char)(value >> 8 & 0xFF),
                 (char)(value & 0xFF) });

Is there a cleaner way to do this?  I've tried various casts, but the compiler, as expected, complained about it.

A: Characters are 16 bit, so you have to encode them into eight bit values to pack them in an integer. You can use the Encoding class to convert between characters and bytes, and the BitConverter class to convert between bytes and integer
Here is conversion both ways:
string original = "ABCD";

int number = BitConverter.ToInt32(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(original), 0);

string decoded = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(BitConverter.GetBytes(number));

Note that the order of the bytes in the integer depends on the endianess of the computer. On a little endian system the numeric value of "ABCD" will be 0x44434241. To get the reverse order, you can reverse the byte array:
byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(original);
Array.Reverse(data);
int number = BitConverter.ToInt32(data, 0);

byte[] data2 = BitConverter.GetBytes(number);
Array.Reverse(data2);
string decoded = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data2);

Or if you are using framework 3.5:
int number =
  BitConverter.ToInt32(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(original).Reverse().ToArray() , 0);

string decoded =
  Encoding.ASCII.GetString(BitConverter.GetBytes(number).Reverse().ToArray());

A: int value = 0x41424344;
string s = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(
               BitConverter.GetBytes(value).Reverse().ToArray());

(The above assumes that you're running on a little-endian system. For big-endian you could just drop the .Reverse().ToArray() part, although if you are on a little-endian system then it would probably make more sense for you to just store "ABCD" as 0x44434241 in the first place, if possible.)

A: public string ConvertToHex(string asciiString)
{
    string hex = "";
    foreach (char c in asciiString)
    {
        int tmp = c;
        hex += String.Format("{0:x2}", (uint)System.Convert.ToUInt32(tmp.ToString()));
    }
    return hex;
}

It will convert string to hex as you required.

A: public static string ToHexString(string value)
{
    return value.Aggregate(new StringBuilder("0x"),
        (sb, c) => sb.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", (int)c)).ToString();
}

A: if the string is never longer than 8 chars and a kind of Hexstring, you could use
the base variable 16 have a look at the Conversion functions from the Convert class.
string s = "ABCD";
uint i = Convert.ToUInt32( s, 16 );
MessageBox.Show( Convert.ToString( i, 16 ) );

Rage Crossbow X 2-Blade Mechanical Broadheads - 125 GR, 3 Pack is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 16.
Get maximum penetration with the Rage® Crossbow X Broadhead. The broadhead consists of razor-sharp .035" stainless steel blades and produces a 2" cutting diameter. Its Shock Collar blade retention system prevents the blades from opening prematurely and its Ferrule Alignment Technology (F.A.T.) increases velocity and energy so you can strike big game with force. The Crossbow X includes a practice head and is designed for use with a crossbow.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Geronimo from Work as advertised! I am skeptical of mechanical broadheads ( I have used them in the past with mixed results) but decided to use these after trying several fixed blades on my x-bow. My fixed blades always had a possibility of planing. After trying the fixed blade and then going to the Rage Crossbow X there was a world of difference. The Rage broadheads actually hit where my field points were. During this past deer season I was able to take 4 deer with my x-bow and the Rage broadheads, and not a one of them made it more than 70 yds. All 4 of them dropped within sight. I also bought the replacement blades and it is extremely easy to replace.
Rated 5 out of 5 by wayne59 from these are awesome !!!!! these were recommended to me so I decided to try them, and I haven't been sorry they are high in price but they do the job. shot at 2 deer 2 different times and brought home the meat both times.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gabe from Major Damage Shot a doe broadside and it went through her before she even realized. The broadhead opened completely on impact and I had a straight pass through. The entry and exit wounds were HUGE. Upon hitting her with a heart shot, she ran 40yrds and dropped within sight. It was my first kill with a rage. I won't be buying anything else. It flew just like a field tip. I am a believer of "Rage in the Cage".
Rated 5 out of 5 by JW from Big Hole Leaves a big hole in the animal. Has a 2" cutting width but when the animal jumps on impact or the sound of the shot it seems to gain more cut. The new shock collars work good. You will be replacing blades on them but it is possible to take more than one animal with a set of blades. I prefer the rear deployment of Rage broadheads to any front deploying ones. Ive had bad experiences with the front deploying broadheads not opening and going clean through like a field tip. I havent had any problems with Rage and will continue to buy them.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yeti15 from Reage Crossbow X 125 Grain These broadheads are excellent in putting down deer. The entry wounds are huge and blood trails are significant. I have never lost a deer when hitting them with these broadheads. They have been redesigned so that they only deploy once entering the deer. The shock collars are very important and are very effective in holding the blades in place. The only negative is they basically are a 1-time use, which may be important to some hunters. I only care about how they work in putting down deer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlie from Great Broadheads These broadheads fly like a target head so are accurate and fast. Yet they open as they enter the deer and make a wide cut. I use them exclusively.

Rockdale County Clerk of Courts Janice Morris took the oath of office on Dec. 18. Probate Judge Clarence Cuthpert Jr., performed the swearing-in ceremony at the Rockdale Superior Courthouse.
Originally, the swearing-in for all of the county's elected officials was scheduled for Dec. 29 at the Rockdale auditorium. However, due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, swearing-in ceremonies were restricted and held separately on different dates.
Morris was joined by her husband, Tolbert, for her swearing-in ceremony.
She said she is excited about her new role as Clerk of Courts and looks forward to bringing a wealth of knowledge as a senior-level manager with her experience in leading and managing a large budget.
"I will remain accessible, accountable and approachable as the new leader of the Clerk's Office. Having the ability to reach each employee and citizen as a servant-leader is my top priority," Morris said.
Morris recently completed 40 hours of training through the Clerk's State Association and she looks forward to utilizing the tools learned throughout the training to execute as an effective and efficient leader of the Clerk of Courts Office.
Morris will begin her new role as Rockdale's Clerk of Superior and State Courts effective Jan. 1.

Experts say that military children are well-rounded, culturally aware, tolerant, and extremely resilient. Military children have learned from an early age that home is where their hearts are, that a good friend can be found in every corner of the world, and that education doesn't only come from school. They live history. They learn that to survive means to adapt, that the door that closes one chapter of their life opens up to a new and exciting adventure full of new friends and new experiences."

This week's favourite photo is courtesy of Royal Canadian Air Force Capt ret'd Cous Cousineau, SC, MSM, CD and founder of Paws Fur Thought.
Shot after dark, this stunning and tranquil image features Quidi Vidi, a neighbourhood in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The village is located at Quidi Vidi Lake.
Cousineau noted he shot it at 10mm, ISO 2500, f 6.3, and 15-second exposure off of a tripod using a cable release.
"Photography has helped me see the world in a different light, and learning to employ different techniques has certainly helped expand my viewpoints," said Cousineau.

Admittedly the Queen of Typos, Cyndi Mills strives for none, but one or two always seems to slip in. She apologizes! Over the last 29 years Cyndi has had the opportunity to move around the country with her husband, Scott and their four children. Having lived in Chilliwack, Edmonton, London, and Petawawa. She stumbled into the world of journalism by accident – looking for a career that could give her the flexibility to work from home to be with her children and support her husband's military career. Cyndi is also a military parent as her two oldest children are in the military. Raising her third and fourth teenagers, she tries to keep sane by walking, gardening, writing, and spending time with her family while running Canadian Military Family Magazine.

Pradaxa is a relatively new drug approved on the American and Australian pharmaceutical markets as a blood thinner with a view to avoid stroke. It has in many countries replaced the oral drug Warfarin. Given that the blood is deliberately thin there is potential for internal bleeding in the brain, stomach and other areas caused by either trauma to the area and/or an existing weakness in the body.
The various medical communities are watching closely as analysts are considering whether Pradaxa has potential dangers because there is no medication that can reverse the effects of Pradaxa's blood thinning. If someone starts to bleed internally it is very difficult to reverse the effects of Pradaxa without using dialysis. There are rumours of deaths and injuries related to Pradaxa but they are only rumours at this stage.
If you have any questions from a legal perspective please Call 1800 681 211 to discuss or visit one our offices.

When Men Are Rape Victims
Unwanted or abusive sexual experiences happen to men. It's not always called rape, but its effects can be devastating.
Sexual victimization of anyone leaves the person feeling vulnerable, ashamed, guilty and fearful with the abuse often going unreported for those very reasons.
Boys and men can be sexually abused by straight or gay men or by women who take advantage of vulnerability. A common myth is that sexual abuse of a boy can contribute to his sexual orientation later in life. However, studies show that a man's own sexual orientation is neither the cause nor the result of sexual abuse. By focusing on the abusive nature of the interaction rather than the sexual aspects, it becomes easier to understand that sexual abuse has nothing to do with a victim's own sexual orientation.
Because society views males as protectors, the myth persists that males can't be victims. Regardless of our individual definitions of masculinity, boys and men are vulnerable to those who use greater size, strength, knowledge and authority to coerce or force them into unwanted sexual experiences and then to remain silent.
Authority figures and admired family members, athletes or social leaders who are predators often use special attention and privileges, money or other gifts, promises, bribes or even threats to reduce resistance. The fact that the victim experiences arousal during the interaction does not make it alright if the experience is not wanted. And, sexual predators are known to seek out lonely and isolated young people to exploit.
Sexual abuse is no less harmful to men than it is to women. And, the harm increases if adults who could help them are reluctant or refuse to acknowledge what happened. This leads many survivors to believe they are at fault and on their own, and they stay silent and suffer shame for years instead of being able to get help and heal.
Another myth is that boys who are sexually abused will go on to abuse others. While it is true that some abusers have histories of being sexually abused, themselves, the majority of boys who are victimized do not become sexually abusive as adolescents or adults.
Sexual abuse is never the fault of the victim, but predators are skilled at getting those they abuse to take on a responsibility that is theirs alone.
Studies indicate that male victims of unwanted sexual experience often feel an intense anger and a fear of losing control of that anger; they feel confused about their male-ness, betrayed by those who violated their trust and ultimately abandoned and unsafe. Untreated, they feel helpless, they are unable to trust others and therefore to make deep connections. And, they are often unable to set boundaries. With no one to talk to, these feelings intensify, leading to a profound sense of alienation and the loss of childhood or a whole chapter of one's life. Some are driven by a need to always prove their manhood through playing super-aggressive sports, having a number of sexual conquests, picking fights, reckless driving, daredevil stunts -- protecting themselves from further attack, and precluding any challenge to their manliness by being tough.
As a community, we can do much better for men. We need to better understand how sexual assault happens in the first place and raise everyone's awareness of prevention. And when a guy acknowledges he's been assaulted, we must have the supports and resources available that each individual needs to heal. We can start by never blaming the victim and by always holding the abuser accountable.
OUR TURN is a public service series made available by Turning Points Network in celebration of its 40th anniversary of providing violence-prevention education programs in our schools, services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and helping people move from the darkness of abuse toward the light of respect, healing and hope.

Coronavirus: We've started return journey to recovery, says Adeboye
Wale Oyewale, Ibadan
The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, said on Sunday COVID-19 pandemic would soon come to an end.
The cleric made the prediction in a Sunday service telecast on Dove Television Station.
He said, "I believe I have good news for us; I believe that the return journey to normalcy has started.
"I sincerely hope that we will remember to give all glory to God. We thank government; we thank God for efforts so far made. I believe they have done creditably well; it was a situation they had never seen before. But I would suggest that in the future, they should include in their committees men of God.
"I am not talking of small men like myself; I am talking of chief imams and archbishops so that they can help them with the spiritual aspect of this warfare. I sincerely do hope that we would not admit that it is not our wisdom, not our ability, not our planning that had given us whatever victory that we have already got."

He added, "We need to return all the glory to God because as the elders would say, rain can send you to the same hut more than once. We need to really give all the glory to God because we don't want the victory that we have won so far to be reversed. If you ask any doctor, he would tell you that the most difficult kind of cancer to handle is the one that relapses. We don't want a relapse of this scourge."

Goldcorp Inc makes first move into Arctic with $520 million deal to buy Kaminak Gold Corp
Goldcorp Inc said it would buy Kaminak Gold Corp for about $520 million, giving it the Coffee gold project south of Dawson City, Yukon
Handout/Kaminak Gold Corp.
The $520-million sale of Kaminak Gold Corp. marks yet another success for mining entrepreneur Eira Thomas, whose companies have been on a major winning streak of late.
"I'm really fortunate that I've had the opportunity to be involved in some terrific projects," Kaminak's chief executive said in an interview.
Goldcorp Inc makes first move into Arctic with $520 million deal to buy Kaminak Gold Corp Back to video
Ms. Thomas, 48, is known as the "Queen of Diamonds" because she discovered the Diavik diamond mine in the Northwest Territories in 1994. But her recent track record is just as notable.
Hackers target Goldcorp, release reams of private data online including payroll and passports
Goldcorp swings back to profit citing lower costs and higher production
She co-founded Lucara Diamond Corp., which made headlines around the world last year when it discovered the second-largest gem-quality diamond in history. Stornoway Diamond Corp., which she co-founded and led for several years, is close to bringing Quebec's first diamond mine into production. They are two of the mining sector's only bright spots of the past few years.
And now Kaminak is being sold to Goldcorp Inc. for roughly triple its value at the start of 2016. The all-stock deal represents a 32 per cent premium to its closing price on Wednesday.
Handout/ Kaminak
Like its peers in the junior gold mining sector, Kaminak was left for dead by most investors over the last few years. But the Vancouver-based firm staged a massive rebound in 2016 as gold prices rose and it released a promising feasibility study for the Coffee gold project in the Yukon. The study indicated Coffee could produce more than 200,000 ounces of gold a year for several years at low all-in sustaining costs of US$550 an ounce.
Thomas, who joined Kaminak in 2013, acknowledged she is stunned how far the company has come in a short period. Now that a brutal four-year bear market for gold stocks is finally ending, the top companies are separating themselves from the pack and enjoying big share price gains.
"You start to lose faith that you'll ever see the light of day," she said.
"So it's nice to come out the other end and realize that we're not crazy, that our conviction is justified and that we have a really great project."
The estimated construction cost for Coffee is a manageable $317 million, and Thomas said Kaminak had planned to take it right to production. But when Goldcorp came calling with a big premium offer, the company changed course.
Goldcorp produces about three million ounces of gold a year, so adding another 200,000 annually is a very small deal by its standards. But there are more exploration opportunities at the Coffee site, and Goldcorp will do more drilling to try to boost the reserves. The project currently has three million ounces of indicated gold resources, and another 2.2 million ounces of inferred resources.
"We have long held the view that Coffee possesses significant exploration upside outside the current resource base," Raymond James analysts Phil Russo and David Sadowski said in a note. They see "moderate" risk of a rival bid.
The acquisition is David Garofalo's first big move since he became Goldcorp's CEO at the end of February. It fits the company's longstanding strategy of buying low-cost ounces in politically safe jurisdictions in the Americas, despite the relatively small size.
After the success of Kaminak, Stornoway and Lucara, Thomas said she has not decided what to do next.
"I'm really pleased that we've got a stronger market upon us and we're starting to see some interest back in the sector, and I'm excited to turn my mind to the next one."


In my full confidence of yr personal regard, as well as of yr professional accuracy, attention & ability, I ask yr care & counsel of a claim due to me as you will find on perusal of the accompanying papers.
When you shall have decided on the course proper for me to pursue, please to communicate with particular directions for me to follow.
Must I administer on Semples estate?, how when & where.
Can the suit be brought in the Maryland circuit court, or must I report to the state chancery.
The only property to be found is the land & rents mentioned in [in] my bill which lay in the county of Washington State of Maryland.
No heirs nor executors do I know or can I find, but some cousins, one of whom lives in Maryland.
The mortgage spoken of by Mr. Mason demands peculiar attention for the reasons & suspicions assigned by him & because the heirs of James Lawson claim the benefit of the mortgage which we beleive [sic] (James Lawson) was a partner of Semple, & which partnership we wish to prove & therefore institute the suit agst [against] Stuart as you will see by the second bill now sent.
The bills require perhaps correction & addition, for our Virga lawyers are at a loss when they refer to Maryland law & usage.
I cannot compensate you for the trouble I impose but by success, when my remunerations shall be as liberal, as [can?] be I am vy [very?] sure, yr friendly execution of my anxious desire.
I will write to ["to" written twice] Mr. Martin [Marting crossed out] when I hear from you soliciting his co-operation.
Please to answer this letr by the mail following its recept which goes to Allens Fresh—Charles County Maryland under cover to the revd Mr. Contee.
Can I as a debtor administer on Semples estate in Maryland, how & where must I so do—this would be a short cut to my relief. If the act of limitation affects me, because of my often visits to this state use the name of Ludwell Lee who intermarried with Flora Lee one of the daughters of Philip L. Lee, & who is Executor of Francis L. Lee one of the Exrs of Philip Ludwell Lee & interested with me: he never visits this state—a few weeks ago he was in Baltimore his first visit. You will find in the decree the name of Flora Lee, &c.

A packed crowd at Powerhouse last Friday night for John Maloof's presentation of Vivian Maier photos, promoting his book, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer. It's an odd situation to say the least: Maier having passed just after her work was discovered but before any artistic or financial recognition could be gleaned from it. She was in default at the facility where her belongings were stored, so everything passed at auction to two interested buyers: Maloof and a group now known as Vivian Maier Prints, Inc. Thus, her estate in effect actually came to be "settled" prior to her death in 2009. These materials include thousands of rolls of undeveloped film. Add to this her propensity to hoard everything that came her way and you can see that it's nearly impossible to fully evaluate her achievement or worth. You also have an idea of the sticky moral and aesthetic position the Maier promoters find themselves in.
Enter the fray: John Maloof. Maloof is billed as "an author and street photographer" in powerHouse's press sheets. Prior to 2007 when he found the Maier material, however, he was in real estate, occupied in putting together a publication to promote Chicago's Northwest Side. He was looking for photographs to illustrate his book. And but, here's the twist: how does someone engaged in such a commercial enterprise, even if for purportedly altruistic reasons, morph into an "author and photographer" (another powerHouse phrase)? He had no background in either field.


One of the last prophesies in the Bible is now under fulfillment (Revelation 13:4, the city of the Seven Hills is not only Rome, but also Jerusalem, Rev. 11:8), the most Holy City of many believers of Christianity, godly non-political Islam and godfearing Judaism is about to be defiled (Leviticus 18:22) by the Synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2,9 & 3.9) when they move the main Gay Pride Parade to Jerusalem. The askeNazi Jews, the Edomites and the Cainites is laughing in G-d's face, make a mockery of G-d.
They do most of them not believe in G-d, but they do believe G-d have saved a nation for them. Corrupted UN politicians did, not G-d.
I promise them, this is the last nail in your coffin, you might not even have time to regret your perversions before [eternal] death strike you. Very soon you will see yourself reaping what you sow. The Grim Reaper is coming for you.
When will the Jewish Syngogues (of Satan) start resite the New Testament as part of unity and ecumenism?
If this perverse idiots in caballistic Freemasonry under the jewish B'nai Brith in their Salomonism and Babylonianism of Egypt & Sodom wouldn't corrupt the World with their perverted gospel of unity and ecumenism of religions with atheists and satanists alike, the World would never been in such a mess, on the brink of total destruction (Rev. 6:15-16).
They promise the Tenple that Jesus Christ vowed there shouldn't be stone upon stone of (Matthew 24:2, Mark 13:2), and that happened in year 70. «We will rebuild» (Isaiah 9:10), they state in their pride. They forgot the correct cornerstone (Acts 4:11, Matthew 21:42, Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 28:16).
Shame on you. Exchanging good (Jesus Christ, and Christianity, The Way) with evil. The luciferian impuls didn't serve you well, did it (Isaiah 27:1) ?
Was this the last nail in the coffin of the state of Israel in the Middle East – will G-d do as with Sodoma and Gomorrah ?
And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is figuratively called «Sodom» and «Egypt,» the city where their Lord was crucified.
«Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.
It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
«As when God overthrew Sodom And Gomorrah with its neighbors,» declares the LORD, «No man will live there, Nor will any son of man reside in it».
«Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?» (Rev. 13:4).


I love a good frittata. It's the best and easiest way to serve eggs at a brunch. Here is a recipe from Sarah Leah Chase for a lobster Frittata that is a sure hit.
Preheat oven to 350. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan. Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and peppers and stir often till cooked and tender, about 10 minutes. While the veggies are cooking, whisk eggs and cream together in large bowl. Whisk in saffron, basil, salt, and pepper. Crumble the Boursin cheese into the mixture. Now stir in lobster meat and sautéed veggies. Add the grated Gruyere cheese. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Place pan on baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake until just firm, about 45-60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes then serve. Nice with some fresh greens and a light citrus vinaigrette.

Q: Check on .Net framework version from WinForms app How to check the .net framework version on start of WinForms application that wrote on .NET 3.5? If .net 3.5 is not installed, the application should show the message about it (may be with link on .net installer or some else). Now it show some error that is not clear for user.

A: You have to create a starter app written either in .Net 2.0 or as an unmanaged app (to cover if there's no version of .Net installed at all) and start that first and then if .Net 3.5 is installed it'll start the real app, otherwise it'll show a nice error message.
However, the even better solution would be to have your installer install .Net 3.5, that way you won't have to worry about it (but this obviously won't work for XCopy deployment etc).

A: Doing that in a .NET 3.5 application is going to be kinda hard, since you never get to the point where your application is started.
Generally this is done in the installer for the application, by adding a launch condition. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315291
EDIT: I found an article that explains how to write an unmanaged application to run before your .NET application starts (as suggested in ho1's answer)
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2009/01/31/9387659.aspx

A: Check out this C++ project that should do what you're asking for.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/DotNetTester.aspx
You'd just set up your shortcuts to launch that app, which would in turn launch your .net app.
From the project description:

For example (test for a minimum of FW 1.1 and launch an application):
dotNetTester.exe 1.1 C:\Temp\Myapp.exeC:\Temp\Myapp.exe

A: I re-read your question - you cannot run .NET x ver app when .NET x is not installed! The end.
If you have it installed, then for other purpose-
Use System.Environment.Version to find which version you are using currently.
To know about all the versions installed, check this.

Enumerate the subkeys of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP. Each subkey is a .Net version. It should have Install=1 value if it's present on the machine, an SP value that shows the service pack and an MSI=1 value if it was installed using an MSI. (.Net 2.0 on Vista doesn't have the last one for example, as it is part of the OS)

You can access this registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP" and iterate over the values.

Brigitte Laurier (Brigitte Bardot), daughter of the President of France, is madly in love with Michel Legrand (Henri Vidal), the chief of staff of her father. He tries to evade her, but she follows him to the airport as he meets his mistress, Mrs. Wilson (Madeleine Lebeau), who intends to divorce her husband to marry Michel. He continues to shut down Brigitte's repeated sexual advances, but he finds that hard to do, as she has just appointed herself to an internship as Michel's secretary.
She creates a ruse whereby Michel is tricked into delivering urgent papers to the President (André Luguet), who is spending the weekend hunting in the countryside. Michel's former mistress, Caroline d'Herblay, and her politician husband are also at the same hunting event, and Mrs. d'Herblay insists that Michel stay the weekend. The President asks his daughter why she tricked Michel like this, and she proclaims her unrequited love for Michel as her father balks at her silliness.
Michel and Mrs. d'Herblay reunite secretly in the woods and they arrange a rendezvous later in the night once her husband is asleep. As she slips out of her room later that night, her husband fakes snoring and follows her, suspecting she is up to no good. At the same time, Brigitte heads to Michel's room and surprises him -- as he was expecting Mme d'Herblay -- and she tells him she wants to be his mistress and promises never to speak of marriage. They kiss, but Mrs. d'Herblay walks in on them and a scene erupts. Mr. d'Herblay (Noël Roquevert) himself hears vaguely sexual sounds emanating from the President's room (as he is lighting his smoking pipe), and a separate scene erupts whereby Mr. d'Herbaly wakes up everyone in the house -- i.e., the Cabinet of France -- as they investigate who is in Michel's locked room. Mrs. d'Herblay is hidden and Brigitte is revealed to be in Michel's bed in front of the entire French government, thus embarrassing the President. Not wanting to cause a scandal, Michel and Brigitte are forced to be married by her father. During their honeymoon, Michel tells Brigitte he is glad he married her, but she is unsure. When they return to France, she tells her father she is sure Michel will cheat on her sooner or later, but her father is sure he will not.
The next day, Prince Charles (Charles Boyer) starts his state visit to France. As she is preparing to go to the gala ball, Mrs. Wilson calls Michel -- apparently not realizing he is married now -- and Brigitte picks up. She is sure Michel is cheating on her with Mrs. Wilson, and she confronts him at the ball. Michel laughs it off, but in a fit of jealously, she tells Michel she will cheat on him with the next person to walk through the door. Michel laughs and bids her good luck as Prince Charles is that person. Not backing down, she curtsies to make herself known to him, and slips into a side room. Prince Charles follows her, and they both get on their knees to look for Brigitte's broken pearl bracelet. She admits to him that she is in love with him, and Michel becomes jealous that the two of them are flirting. He slaps her in public, and brings her home.
Mrs. Wilson calls the next morning, and when Brigitte answers, she sets up lunch for her and Michel for that afternoon. Mrs. Wilson shows up and is still infatuated with him and kisses him as Brigitte watches. Brigitte plays the role of maid, but is surly as she serves Mrs. Wilson. Michel's office calls, but Brigitte pretends to be having a phone conversation with the Prince and says that she is going to the embassy to meet him. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wilson storms off as she finds out the Brigitte is actually Michel's new wife. As the women leave, Michel's office calls back and he realizes it was just a ruse that the Prince called, and he knows Brigitte is lying.
However, Brigitte actually does go to the embassy and meets Prince Charles, who decides to cancel his plan to open a nursery with the Queen and instead spend the afternoon with Brigitte. He offers to fly her in a new French fighter jet to have tea with the Queen of England, and they go to the airport. While at the airport, Brigitte calls Michel to brag that she is flying with the Prince, but he doesn't believe her. As they fly off, the Prince asks what Brigitte's name is, the Prince decides not to go to London, but instead fly to Nice and go for a swim. After swimming, the Prince and Brigitte go to a beach restaurant, where the Prince is mistaken for a rowdy local. The other locals stop them from leaving and a fight occurs until they realize he is actually the Prince.
Meanwhile, while the Queen is speaking at the nursery opening, the President and Michel realize the Prince actually did leave with Brigitte and is not sick with a migraine as is told to the press. Michel becomes enraged with jealously that the Prince is with his wife, but the President begs him not to make a big issue out of this. Michel goes to see the Prince to prove he is not sick, but the Queen stalls him until the Prince is able to return and act sick. Michel apologizes for his apparent mistake.
When Brigitte tells Michel she went to Nice with the Prince for a swim, having just left the embassy, he does not believe her and thinks she is making a fool of him. They promise to always tell each other the truth, but when she again tells him she was with the Prince -- the truth -- he doesn't believe her. Ultimately, she tells him she was at the cinema with a friend and crosses her fingers.
