Critter Country, situated at the end of a cul-de-sac and accessible via New Orleans Square, sports a pioneer appearance not unlike that of Frontierland.

Splash Mountain
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The area we now know as Critter Country has a long, storied past. The biggest problem has been the location. While there is cross traffic virtually everywhere else at Disneyland, this area has always been a dead-end. How do you keep getting people back this way has been the design challenge.
This part of the park started out as the Indian Village and featured 17 different tribes doing traditional dances. You could also board a war canoe powered by "real" Native Americans. The Briar Patch hat store is the only holdover from those early days.
In 1972, a bunch of happy, singing bears replaced the Native Americans. Maybe this would bring in the crowds? Country Bear Jamboree was originally intended to be part of the entertainment for Walt's vision of a ski resort at Mineral King in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains but that project was not to be. So instead, the bears migrated to Florida and their show became one of the opening day attractions. It was a huge hit and plans were quickly made to duplicate the attraction at Disneyland.
To make sure that Disneyland could handle the giant crowds they were seeing at Walt Disney World, a decision was made to build two identical theaters. Unfortunately, the local Southern California audience was not as enamored with the bears like the visitors in Florida. So much of the time one theater was closed and the other one was half-empty. Country Bear Jamboree closed in Disneyland in 2001.
So how do you drive traffic into the back of the park? You build the ultimate "E" ticket attraction, a Pirates of the Caribbean-type dark ride filled with audio-animatronics characters plus a big thrill at the end. Disney did not have to look much further than Buena Park to see how successful the Timber Mountain Log Ride was at Knott's Berry Farm. The park was set to dismantle Marc Davis's America Sings in Tomorrowland and that provided a whole bunch of audio-animatronics that were about to be orphaned. That is how Splash Mountain was born.
If you thought the attraction was named for the drop at the end, you would be wrong. When then-CEO Michael Eisner decided to green light the attraction, he asked his Imagineers to cross promote his new film Splash starring Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks. The Imagineers declined but they liked the name.
Splash Mountain was a hit but the Country Bear Jamboree was starting to fade. What to do? The marketing executives took a look at the bottom line and determine that the problem wasn't bears, just the wrong bears. Enter Winnie the Pooh.
To make Bear/Critter Country stand out from Frontierland, much of the architecture and landscaping was designed to give a more Northwest feel. With the addition of Pooh, iconic images such as honey pots were scattered about in an overlay. Splash Mountain was designed to have the feel of a cartoon background. As Imagineer Tony Baxter explains, "In a cartoon, you paint to blend everything together. The backgrounds are painted and then you add painted characters on top of those backgrounds. We've tried to do the same thing here."

Kline and Charlotte Price
Dr Kline Price Sr. (d.1973) and Charlotte Price (d.2013) started coming in the 1940s and are referenced in This African-American Life, a memoir written by their youngest son, civil rights leader Hugh B. Price, former President and CEO of the National Urban League. Price Sr. was the second black physician in the United States to earn certification from the American Board of Urology, which was a historic accomplishment back then. He maintained a full private practice, was an active surgeon and taught part-time at Howard Medical School. The couple provided financial support for the litigation brought by their neighbor, Charles Hamilton Houston of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which laid the legal foundation for the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling by the US Supreme Court in 1954 that outlawed segregated public schools.
The Price family joined All Souls because of A. Powell Davies and lived close enough to walk to services on Sundays. According to Hugh, the church's moral compass suited his parents perfectly and also touched his own life profoundly.
In an interview from The History Makers archives, Price remembered the church and his Sunday School experience this way: "I was very proud to be a part of that church. And a lot of people who cared passionately about integrating our society belonged to that church. Both black and whites belonged to that church. I vividly recall when I was a member of the Sunday School at All Souls Church, that roughly once a month we would go visit another church. We'd go visit a Greek Orthodox church, or a synagogue, or a Catholic church, or a Russian Orthodox church. And once a month, a delegation of kids from Sunday School would come visit us. And as a result of that, I grew up with a deep appreciation for sameness and a deep curiosity about otherness. And I grew up without any bias toward anybody who was different than me. And I wish that more of our children had that kind of exposure to others at a very early stage, before we formed impressions based on what adults tell us. It's one of the most powerful inter-ethnic exchanges I could imagine, and all it cost us was a batch of cookies when we were hosting, and a quarter tank of gas when we were visiting. But it was very powerful, and I have never forgotten it."

During the second half of the 19th century, San Francisco grew from a village to a major city. Located on a peninsula, the city faced a perpetual water problem. Mayor James Phelan realized that if the city was ever to reach its full potential, it needed an abundant and pure water supply from the Sierra Nevada. After studying a number of different sites, the Tuolumne River and the Hetch Hetchy Valley emerged as the preferred location. But the valley lay within the newly-established (1890) Yosemite National Park. Yet San Francisco continued its quest, purchasing land within the valley and seeking legislation to allow reservoir development.

This greenway is poorly marked and the trail is broken in places by a detour through busy city streets and 50 mph traffic. This was an awful ride spent being slightly lost and pretty frustrated at the large detour required to get back on the greenway trail. I won't be back.
Grateful for this resource

I'm fortunate to live within walking distance of the ATT. I walk or bike on it almost every day. Most of my mileage is on the southern half of the trail, south of Southpoint shopping mall. With that in mind here are my observations:
It doesn't have much dramatic scenery, but it does have and promote a sense of serenity along most of its length, which is all the more amazing when you consider that it cuts right through the busy RTP metropolitan area.
The trail is ALWAYS well maintained.
At the southern terminus of the trail, you can see that the rail bed continues, but is blocked by a barricade. Looking at the satellite photos of this area My fervent hope is that one day the rail-trail will be extended down this corridor.
As you would expect in an urban area, the trail can get overcrowded--especially on weekends.
Favorite Trail
August, 2018 by bmorrison4
I used to live right on the ATT and absolutely loved it. The trail is nicely kept and is shaded through many parts of it. The ATT made my runs so easy and it is easily one of my favorite trails that I have ever ran.
Great trail for a morning walk. It's part of the Cary Greenway and connects to other trails

Excellent trail, nice ride
June, 2018 by kevinkaren
I had an extra day to spend in the Triangle before heading home, and was excited to squeeze in a ride on this trail. I parked at the White Oak trailhead, which has restrooms. The stone trail was among the best I've ever seen; extremely wide, smooth, well-packed. Lots of tree cover, gentle hills. They use the old-fashioned access control gates on this trail, which are a bit narrow to ride through even at a slow speed. But road crossings were not too frequent and didn't slow me down.
Even though it was a Saturday and a lot of people were using the trail, I didn't feel hampered to ride at a (relatively) fast pace. The mix of families with strollers, walkers, runners, and riders all got along quite well. I rode to the end of the stone section, then back past my car to the paved section and into Durham. There was a bigger hill and one very urban area where the trail narrows and becomes effectively a sidewalk, then opens up a bit and dives back into the trees. I continued to Mile 5 and turned around where it seemed to be getting more urban again.
And despite the trail's name, not a single smoker in sight the whole way.
Great running trail, gorgeous scenery!
September, 2017 by amberazul14
I have wobbly ankles so some of the trail was moderately challenging (as opposed to running on flat asphalt) but it is truly gorgeous scenery and a lovely run. The restrooms were clean, the views were gorgeous and I look forward to running here frequently and bringing my kids to kayak. I'd easily rate it 5 stars, however I tripped on a root and gouged my knee pretty badly. If I wasn't so clumsy this would definitely rate 5 out of 5 stars.
awesome trail!

Warning: Off Leash Dogs Rampant
August, 2017 by whitneybtutor
I have lived in Erwin for 11 years and have used this trail many times. It is a shame, because it is a nice trail, but in the last couple of years I have had more and more problems with off leash dogs. Earlier this year I was chased by a pack of 3 aggressive dogs on the Dunn side of the rail trail, and there is another off leash aggressive dog that will charge and bark at the intersection of the trail and Suggs Rd on the Erwin side. We have tried, unsuccessfully, to alert Harnett Co Animal Control about these dogs. My husband left them messages which they never returned. So we have had to stop walking our dogs on this trail. It was not just the fact that the off leash dogs were taking an interest in our dogs, I also spoke to a couple of people who use the trail for jogging without dogs, and they are also being bothered by the aggressive dogs. So use with caution, and if you can, call the Harnett Co Animal Control if you have the same problem. Perhaps if enough people complain they will do something to make this trail safer.
Good walk

People complaining about sand, that gives you more exercise. I did not think the sand was bad at all. I did the walk from Reservoir park to NIcks creek. Nice little hike
course markings mia

February, 2017 by randycroce
We traveled there from NJ and stayed at a local hotel a few miles down the road. La Qunita was clean and accepted our dog at no extra charge. We parked at 3 different spots on our 3 days of riding there this past weekend. In the South Point Mall parking lot, at the New Hope Church Road Parking Lot and at the Kroger Parking Lot, with absolutely no problems. We rode the entire length and other than a couple of less respectful people not caring about anyone but themselves, we had a Great time. The trails are used by walkers, joggers, families, novice and very inexperienced riders. We did see a police officer on the trail on day 3. I contacted the local Police Department prior to taking to the trails, and was advised that other than a couple of incidents, that the trail is an excellent place to bike, and that there is no specific location presenting additional hazards. We cautiously rode north to Durham on our 1st day (Friday) and the trail was not very busy at all. As we neared Martin Luther Blvd, there was a growing number of younger folks using the trail for getting around, but none of them were in any disrespectful or threatening. There were also a few just hanging in the area along side of the trails, but were also not threatening to us in any way. Days 2 and 3 we covered from south of the South Point Mall which went from asphalt to finely packed sand and gravel. There were many many people on the trails on Saturday and Sunday, but there was plenty of room for getting around and not at all a "Too Crowded"place to be. We met a few people through out our days and just had an awesome time. We put in about 70 miles during or 3 day trek! and would love to return and bring more of our family with us next time.
Endor Iron Furnace Greenway - Rollerblading
February, 2017 by skmiller88
As mentioned, parking areas are somewhat hard to find. You have a couple of options for parking - park in the very back of the Timberwood Apartment Complex located off Wicker Street. There is also a parking area close to the intersection of Carbonton Rd and Halifax located at approximately 700 Carbonton Road. You may also choose to connect from the Kiwanis Parking area located off of Wicker Street (this connection is tricky to find and is not rollerblade friendly). There are also random locations along the trail that offer an opportunity to connect. The trail runs along the back side of Applebees, First Bank and Frank Theatres Spring Lane.
In terms of rollerblading - I would probably only do the section from 700 Carbonton and head NW (along Carbonton Road and under the overpass). The section from the Timberwood Apts. to 700 Carbonton is a little rough. It is definitely doable, but not the smoothest riding.
Its a good trail. There are some road crossings to be aware of and it does run through the shopping center. All-in-all it works as a nice paved trail. If blading, please keep in mind there are some hills along the trail. Please be sure to have good brakes and know how to brake properly down hills.

BREMERTON – Atop a concrete staircase slowly being overrun with blackberry vines, Wes Larson and Mike Brown believe they've found a $15 million opportunity.
Never mind their vantage point, a 1-1/2 acre section of mostly derelict real estate that includes homes from the late 19th Century. They see unimpeded views of the Port Washington Narrows and Sinclair Inlet, bisected by the new Manette Bridge. And they're betting that, in spearheading construction of an 80-unit, five-story apartment tower there, that others will be captivated by those panoramas, too.
"Even from the first floor, people will have spectacular views," Brown said.
Over the next year, the Spyglass Hill project will begin to rise from its perch between Highland and Washington avenues. At 220 feet above sea level, it's the highest point in downtown Bremerton ? hence the reference to Robert Louis Stevenson's coming-of-age 19th Century classic. (Spyglass Hill was the highest point on Treasure Island.) It will change not only the landscape here but also the skyline, on par with the likes of the nearby Norm Dicks Government Center.
"I look at this as a legacy project," Larson said. "I think it's going to be a great asset for the community, and for generations to come."
Larson and Brown are managing partners of the Sound West Group development company. Brown has headed up FPH Construction, a partner of Sound West, since 1978. Larson, who grew up not far from the Spyglass site, long managed a $1 billion portfolio at an international bank before returning to the area in the late 1990s. The pair have since embarked on a gamut of projects: the REI Building in Silverdale, the Chateau Ridge housing development in Poulsbo, the Tower Medical Center in Silverdale.
Larson started believing in the idea of Spyglass in 2007. He remembers as a child the craftsman homes that lined Highland Avenue, many of which will remain encircled around Spyglass itself.
"It was the Queen Anne of Bremerton," Larson said.
During the days of the hot and ultimately overheating real estate market, the project moved along. It had site approval from the city in 2008. Then the economy tanked. But Sound West Group did not abandon the project.
It reduced the project's size from 132 to 80 units to provide for more on-site parking, which now will number 105 spots. Larson said forgoing an underground parking garage cut the cost of the development substantially.
Within the last few years, Sound West Group has been successful at finding silent partners to join the Spyglass project, which can be the toughest part to get off the ground. Curious investors could get an idea of the views Larson and Brown were peddling simply by going to visit the nearby Norm Dicks Government Center, climbing to Mayor Patty Lent's sixth floor office. Lent, for her part, was always willing to make a pitch for Bremerton to go with, Brown said.
Lent said it wasn't a hard sell for her. Bremerton combines a Northwest quality of life, on the shores of Puget Sound, without having to pay Seattle prices.
"You can pay half the price of what you'd pay in Seattle to get (a unit) twice the size, with water views and the ability to walk everywhere," she said. "That's pretty exciting."
The two men said their other strength was how they do business. Sound West Group's approach is to be a one-stop shop ? acquisition, development, construction, building management.
"For us, a motivating force is that we're in our own backyard," Larson said.
Sound West was able to snap up a T-shaped property for the project in fairly short order, with only three property owners encompassing the entire project along the 600 block of both Highland and Washington. The last purchase was two dilapidated homes owned by John Hoffman at 649 and 653 Washington Avenue that sit just above the Manette Bridge. Hoffman had been brought before the city's hearing examiner in 2013 for code violations stemming from their disrepair.
The developers plan to put in a bench and a plaque for Hoffman's family, who were among the earliest in Bremerton.
Clearing the Hoffman properties did not lead to an expansion of the project itself but rather presented an opportunity to increase parking on the site ? a concern among neighbors on Highland who felt the street would be overrun. A sliver of a building adjacent to Ninth Street was also purchased, giving Spyglass another access route for its tenants.
The developers have already completed asbestos abatement at all homes to be demolished. Next, in late September, comes demolition of the nine homes.
Construction on Spyglass, undertaken by The Rush Companies of Gig Harbor, is slated to begin in November.
The complex includes two main buildings: a set of town homes along Highland Avenue and a five-story tower. Rice Fergus Miller, the architecture firm that designed Spyglass, opted for the town homes to blend in to the Highland Avenue aesthetic, said Bob Guyt, an architect heavily involved in the project.
The exterior of the tower includes an abundance of glass to soak up the view. Many units include a deck.
"This is housing stock that doesn't exist in Bremerton," Brown said. "And maybe even in all of Kitsap County."
A fifth of the units will also be priced at a level on par with affordable housing rates in the county. Studios and one bedroom apartments dominate the lower floors, with more expansive units coming the higher you go, as well as on the book ends of the building. A terrace will give all tenants an opportunity to go on the complex's roof for even better views.
City improvements on Washington Avenue will be made as construction is underway and will include wider sidewalks and bike lanes from the Manette Bridge to Fifth Street.
Larson and Brown say they could not build Spyglass were it not for other downtown projects; the SEEFilm theater, Kitsap Conference Center and Norm Dicks Government Center preceding them.
"We would not be doing this if it had not been for previous developments," Brown said.
They're hoping Spyglass will bring a new wave of people living downtown and bring demand for more businesses, specifically a downtown grocer.
"You've gotta get people living downtown. Then the retail will follow," Larson said. "Perhaps this project will tip the scales for downtown Bremerton."
Spyglass is expected to open in Summer 2016.

Last summer, I posted a blog – Love Thy Old Phone (and Lazily Cut Electrical Waste) – about how I refused to buy in to the increasing culture of upgrading to a new phone every time one was offered. I've had the same old iphone for the last 3 years and have saved load of money on a sim only contract which gives me all the calls, texts and data I had before, but over half the price of my previous contract. I've continued over this last year to be smug in the knowledge that I haven't contributed to the millions of phones being discarded yearly, and have the bashed up device to prove it!
My phone smugness reached new heights today, when I received a free pay as you go sim card in the post from ethical phone network, The Peoples Operator. With only a few months left until I jet off on my travels, and impending lack of income, I needed to switch from a contract to a PAYG to save on monthly fees. After looking into providers and deals, I stumbled upon The Peoples Operator; who not only provide a good value service, but also campaign for charitable causes, non-profit organisations and ethical groups.
Top up bundles are pretty good value, starting from just £5, and the network enjoys 99% coverage across the UK. But the thing that hooked me in is their approach to profits. It's not just about making money for these guys and, as part of their mission to make a positive impact in the world, 10% of your bill is donated to a charity of your choice! Yes you heard correctly. They give £1 for every £10 spent to charity, rather than lining their greasy pockets or spending millions on expensive ad campaigns!
When you sign up, you simply choose from a vast selection of charities (from big names like WaterAid, to your local community project) and if you can't find your preferred charity, just get in touch and ask them to add it!
I am yet to test my sim out, but I'm excited with the prospect of this easy and inexpensive way of contributing to a charity I support buy doing the thing I love most….talking!!
Like you I have an old mobile phone and have signed up to The People's Operator mobile network. Such a simple and brilliant idea! Hopefully more people will follow us.

Document " The Impact of Shiftwork on Skeletal Muscle Health "
AISBETT B., CONDO D., ZACHAREWICZ E. & LAMON S. (2017). The Impact of Shiftwork on Skeletal Muscle Health. Nutrients. Volume 9. Numéro 3.
(1) Background: About one in four workers undertake shift rosters that fall outside the traditional 7 a. m.-6 p. m. scheduling. Shiftwork alters workers' exposure to natural and artificial light, sleep patterns, and feeding patterns. When compared to the rest of the working population, shiftworkers are at a greater risk of developing metabolic impairments over time. One fundamental component of metabolic health is skeletal muscle, the largest organ in the body. However, cause-and-effect relationships between shiftwork and skeletal muscle health have not been established; (2) Methods: A critical review of the literature was completed using online databases and reference lists; (3) Results: We propose a conceptual model drawing relationships between typical shiftwork consequences; altered light exposure, sleep patterns, and food and beverage consumption, and drivers of skeletal muscle health-protein intake, resistance training, and hormone release. At present, there is no study investigating the direct effect of shiftwork on skeletal muscle health. Instead, research findings showing that acute consequences of shiftwork negatively influence skeletal muscle homeostasis support the validity of our model; (4) Conclusion: Further research is required to test the potential relationships identified in our review, particularly in shiftwork populations. Part of this testing could include skeletal muscle specific interventions such as targeted protein intake and/or resistance-training.

Peter Phillips gambles that China will agree to legalise horse racing
October 10, 2015 by Marilyn Leave a Comment
The Queen's eldest grandchild is taking a gamble on whether Beijing will one day legalise betting on horse racing by becoming involved in an effort to push the sport into China.
Peter Phillips last week joined an international delegation of business leaders and diplomats at the official establishment of the China Jockey Club (CJC), a body intended to "oversee the development of the sport" in the country.
The club said it had the support of the Chinese government. However, Asian horse-racing insiders have described the move as "wholly surprising", and amounting to a huge gamble on whether Beijing will one day legalise on- or off-track betting.
The CJC, for whom Mr Phillips will be paid in shares as a "global ambassador", claims a number of high-level partners in the venture, including the British Horseracing Association (BHA). It plans to hold races in Beijing and Shanghai next year.
Unless the Chinese authorities have a dramatic change of policy, neither of those meetings will involve betting — the key element in creating popularity and investment in a sport that could generate billions in revenues. Gambling is strictly controlled in China.
Racing sources in Hong Kong and Japan said that the sudden emergence of the CJC was a surprise and questioned the claim that it had been approved from on high. Sources also questioned how closely the BHA and other partners were involved in the CJC at this stage.
President Xi Jinping's austerity campaign has targeted many "excessive" activities and injected a fear among officials of being seen with luxury goods. Horse racing has long been criticised by the Chinese authorities for its bourgeois image, and previous attempts to establish the sport have floundered for that reason.
Even if Beijing did officially endorse horse-racing and betting, racing sources said that it would take time to establish trust in Chinese vets and breeding farms.
Some investors, gambling that China will eventually allow horse racing have already built elaborate racing tracks around the country. They have not been used for regular racing, however, and some are falling into delapidation.

Interview: Michael McCluskey, Author
Michael McCluskey, a journalist, presenter, broadcast executive and media consultant lived and worked in many regions and cities across Australia, Asia and the Pacific. In this interview with artist Debasmita Dasgupta, executive director of ArtsPositive, Michael shares his sources of inspiration as a storyteller and the making of his books.
What inspired you to become a storyteller?
With more than 35 years working in journalism and broadcast media, storytelling has formed the basis of my professional life. Stories are the essence of human interaction. They can convey real events and exchanges of ideas and also form the basis for human creativity and imagination. I love the process of creating imaginative stories that, even though they may be fictional, can reflect upon the real life actions and emotions in people's daily lives. It is my hope that I engage with audiences to provide stories that are not only compelling and entertaining, but also provoke thoughtful and emotional responses.
Tell us a bit about your latest book. The idea behind?
With The Atonement of Grace O'Connell I wanted to tell a compelling, realistic story that demonstrated how hard life was for pioneering women, in rural Australia, especially those born out of wedlock. My main character is an extraordinary woman who uncovers deceit, betrayal and murder in her pioneering family's past. Born in 1884 on an Australian homestead, she overcomes prejudice and persecution and gains love, happiness and fortune. With faith and tenacity she strives to atone for the sinful legacy of her inheritance. Yet, probing too deeply, she reveals shocking secrets that should have remained buried with the dead forever.
Is there any other exciting book that you are currently working on?
My book is available as an eBook or Paperback at my website. It is also available through Amazon and other outlets, including the publisher. I am currently working on a new novel relating to people's senses and how they define our capacity to experience events, places, people and emotions.
Our Library was Vast
Sudha Murthy is a multi-faceted personality. An author, a teacher, a computer scientist and the chairperson of Infosys Foundation, Sudha has played every role with dignity, sincerity & grace. Since childhood, Sudha's parents gave her a balanced environment with love & knowledge that eventually became the foundation of her life. In her words, "My father didn't buy a refrigerator for years, but our library was vast. For us, academics were not only a priority but a way of life." (source: Forbes India).

Interview: Alejandro Frid, Conservationist
Alejandro Frid is a Science Coordinator/Ecologist at Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance. He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria, School of Environmental Studies in Canada. In this interview with artist Debasmita Dasgupta, executive director of ArtsPositive, Alejandro tells us about his journey as a conservationist and shares details from his existing and upcoming books.
What inspired you to become a conservationist? Was there a turning point or an interesting back story?
I was inspired to become a conservationist by being in direct contact with the beauty of the natural world. After experiencing with all my senses the atmosphere of an old-growth forest, rainforest, a fish school, caribou on the open tundra, there was no turning back.
Tell us a bit about your book "A World For My Daughter". How did you come up with that idea?
The book came to be because I had been dwelling in all the damage humans have inflicted on our planet, and I was feeling rather negative about the future. When my daughter was born, I realized that negativity and pessimism (nihilism, really) was no way to raise a child. So I gave myself a dual task: to be scientifically realistic about all the difficult changes that are here to stay, while staying humanly optimistic about the better things that we still have. A World For My Daughter" documents that process through personal experience, scientific research and much love.
Is there any other exciting project / book that you are currently working on? Is there a way our readers can support your work / campaign?
My next book, "Changing Tides: An Ecologist's Journey to Make Peace with the Anthropocene", will be published by New Society Publishers in the fall of 2019. In that book, through a blend of personal experience (including my own scientific research) and the voices of the Indigenous peoples that I work with, I argue that a merger of scientific perspectives and Indigenous knowledge might just help us change the story we tell ourselves of who we are and who we can be, and steer us towards a more benign Anthropocene.
Interview: Stefen Chow, Photographer
Stefen Chow is a Malaysian-born, Singapore-raised photographer. Stefen undertakes long term projects with social conscience. Stefen is the co-founder of 'The Poverty Line', a global visual project that contextualises poverty. In this interview with artist Debasmita Dasgupta, executive director of ArtsPositive, Stefen shares some exciting bits of his journey as a father, photographer & mountaineer.
What inspired you to become a photographer? Was that a childhood dream or a turning point in life?
I was trained as an engineer, but I loved the outdoors. I became part of a university team to climb Mount Everest, and I also took on the role as the photographer. Till then, I thought photography was something you only do on holidays. When I documented my teammates up in the Himalayas, the pictures meant more than snaps. It was also a record of our own history, and it gave perspective to people back home. I realised photography has the power to change peoples' minds, and I wanted to be a professional after I summited Everest. Thats 13 years ago.
Are you currently doing any special personal / professional project that needs a special mention?
I am currently working on a book on The Poverty Line. It was a project we have been working on for the past 8 years, and we have covered 31 countries/territories. The project was exhibited at the Thessaloniki Photo Biennale in Greece, George Town Festival in Malaysia, and was exhibited and presented at the United Nations this year.
What's ahead in 2019?
I definitely want to do a meaningful trip with my family this coming year. I don't have ideas yet, but hopefully it involves camping and cycling!
I am not scared of you
Violence has many faces --- assault, torture, rape, murder ... No matter what their names & forms are, violence is always ugly. We try hard to escape from them but unfortunately, they find a way to reach us. The only way to crush them, is by facing them with confidence. This #myfather #illustration is inspired by the courage of Sohaila Abdulali & her father, who fought against violence & won.

Beat every adversity with a gush of laughter
Today's #myfather illustration is inspired by one of the most celebrated Urdu writers in the world, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, & his beloved daughter, Salima Hashmi, Pakistani artist, former college professor & anti-nuclear weapons activist. I was watching a video in which Salima remembers her father - how he inspired her as an artist & as a human being, how he never gave up when times got rough, & how he always found a reason to laugh in every adversity.
In his own words:
Speak, your lips are free.
Speak, it is your own tongue.
Speak, it is your own body.
Speak, your life is still yours.
See how in the blacksmith's shop
The flame burns wild, the iron glows red;
The locks open their jaws,
And every chain begins to break.
Speak, this brief hour is long enough
Before the death of body and tongue:
Speak, 'cause the truth is not dead yet,
Speak, speak, whatever you must speak.
(Translated by Azfar Hussain)
The hardships & sacrifices of our parents often inspire us to do something more meaningful with our lives. Like Dolly Parton, who created the #ImaginationLibrary to honour her father. As a child her father couldn't afford to go to school as he had to work for a living. Years later, when Parton began the Imagination Library, she wanted to reach out to every child in her community with free books. Today's #myfather illustration is inspired by her noble thought, a tribute to her dear daddy. For more inspiring father-daughter stories, click here!

No Darkness can Trap You
This illustration is inspired by a true story from the Philippines.
"The Jeepney Ride Home" by Mai Tatoy
When I was 18, I was held-up at gunpoint.
I was commuting home from school on a jeepney that December evening in Manila. Three armed men came onboard and ordered us to give them our wallets and valuables. So we did. They hopped out then told the jeepney driver to keep driving. The driver was kind enough to drop us off where we could walk home.
The minute I got home, I burst into tears. My Ma and Pa held and consoled me. Things could've been worse, they said. That's true, I replied. I guess it was the trauma of it. Plus, I had not eaten all day that day because I wanted to save money to buy Christmas gifts for our family. We weren't poor by any measure, but money was always tight.
The next day, I commuted to school again. That night, at the corner where I take the jeepney home, I saw my Pa standing there, waiting for me. He knew I'd become frightened of riding the jeepney at night, so he accompanied me on the ride.
He did this for the next four months.
From December to March, my Pa met me at that corner and rode the jeepney with me when my schedule meant I'd be commuting at night. My Pa who doesn't drive and couldn't afford to do anything else to protect his daughter from robbers except sit beside her on the ride home.
He taught me that love is doing what you can with what you have for those you love.
He remains the most thoughtful, generous person I know. It is the greatest honour of my life to be the daughter of Rey Brodit Tatoy.

Is GE looking to come to Florida?
Florida has failed to land a "significant" Connecticut-based company, one of "America's oldest and largest," according to Florida's top business recruiter.
Yet while Florida has been actively pursuing the headquarters of the Connecticut-based conglomerate General Electric in recent months, no one will identify the whale of a company that doesn't want to move south of the Georgia-Florida line.
Senate Rules Chairman David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, acknowledged Thursday that he recently traveled with Enterprise Florida staff and House Speaker Steve Crisafulli to Connecticut to give a two-hour presentation to some unspecified corporate officials.
Simmons declined to discuss further aspects of the pitch, noting he signed a confidentiality agreement. Crisafulli also signed such an agreement, according to the speaker's office.
"I'd be happy to disclose everything, but that's all I can say to you," Simmons said.
GE has been on the relocation market since June 4, a day after Connecticut's budget was approved. The company told employees an "exploratory team" had been assembled to look at relocating the headquarters "to another state with a more pro-business environment."
Enterprise Florida President and CEO Bill Johnson, addressing the Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee on Wednesday, said executive leaders at the unidentified company have advised Florida they don't want to go south of the Georgia-Florida border.
"I think that's insane, because what's the distance," Johnson said. "But it was their call."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitutional has reported that Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal was among people reaching out to GE after hearing the company was seeking a more business-friendly environment.
Johnson, who referred to the unidentified company as one of "America's oldest and largest," said at least 12 states are bidding for the company. He said the firm inquired about the number of patents issued in Florida, along with asking about the state's investment in K-12 and university-level education.
Bloomberg reported in late August that GE removed the Dallas area as a potential relocation destination because of opposition by some Texas lawmakers to the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which Congress let expire at the end of June. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported this week that Ohio had been eliminated from the running for the same reason.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott sent a letter to Congress urging the reauthorization of the bank, as it "will allow Florida companies to continue to expand their international trade activities."
Scott spokeswoman Jackie Schutz said Thursday any News Service of Florida inquiry regarding GE should be directed to the company.
Dominic McMullan, GE's senior manager of public relations, said in an email that GE's standard response on the matter is: "We have formed an exploratory team to assess the company's options to relocate corporate headquarters. The team is currently engaged in the process and is taking many factors into consideration. When there is a final decision on relocation, we will communicate it publicly."
Scott, who has declined to say if GE officials were among the corporate leaders he visited during a business-recruitment trip to the Nutmeg State in June, said on Sept. 10 that it would be a "big opportunity" to land GE. But he added that he is calling "all the companies" from Connecticut that are interested in relocating.
General Electric, founded in 1892 by a group that included inventor Thomas Edison, employs about 5,700 people in Connecticut. Other large corporations in Connecticut that reportedly could also be on Scott's radar include Aetna Inc. and Travelers Cos Inc., as they have also been critical of the state's new budget.

Q: Move a files only in the git index without a working directory In preparation for rolling multiple repos into a single monorepo, I want to go through my entire repo history and move everything into a subdirectory foo/ in every commit.
The fast (faster than --tree-filter at least) way of doing this seems to be with filter-branch and the --index-filter filter. However, with this approach you only have the index to work against, not a working tree. So how would I add a new directory and move all files into it for each commit's subtree?
I'm basically looking for the equivalent of git rm --cached, but git mv doesn't seem to provide this option.

A: There is no equivalent of git mv --cached or git mv --after (see hg mv --after for comparison).  There should be, in my opinion, but there isn't.
So I wrote one.  It's a little cheesey but it should work for your case, provided you have no files with control-A characters in their names.  If you want to move entire sub-trees of files, you'll probably want to fancy it up, and maybe write it in something other than shell script.

Juan Uribe is catnip to Brian Sabean: the Giants should pass on both of them
By Craig CalcaterraSep 28, 2009, 8:20 AM EDT
It happens almost every year: the Giants, for reasons clear only to them, sign some 30 year-old (or older) hitter to a silly contract based on a career year and some pie-in-the-sky sense that he'll do it again. The candidate for 2010: Juan Uribe:
There exists a player who sounds as though he wants to be a Giant next
year. This year, he is hitting .299 in 378 at-bats. Project his numbers
over 500 at-bats and he would have 20 homers and 70 RBIs.
His on-base-plus-slugging percentage (OPS) as an everyday player since
Aug. 1 is 1.011. To put that in context, the only National Leaguers
over 1.000 for the entire season are Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder.
He is a favorite among fans and teammates.
I'll pass on the Pujols/Fielder comparison because I'm trying to give up my ducks-in-a-barrel addiction and simply note that Uribe is putting up numbers like nothing he's done in his nine seasons in Major League Baseball. Seriously, his OBP over the past four seasons has been .296, .284, .257, and .301. His lifetime OBP is .299. By any measure, by any way you slice and dice it, his current season is the very definition of a fluke. He has a touch of pop in his bat and can play two or three positions so he has some use as a utility guy, but he's not the sort of dude you make a point of going after in the offseason.
Like Uribe, Giant GM Brian Sabean's contract is up after the season. The fact that a 30 year-old fluke is sitting out there, just waiting to be given a $5M+ salary by Sabes is reason enough to find a new general manager.

The Taff Vale Railway (TVR) O1 class was a class consisting of fourteen 0-6-2T steam tank locomotives, designed by Tom Hurry Riches, which were introduced to the TVR during the period 1894-1897.

Numbering

Withdrawal and disposal

All were withdrawn from traffic between 1925 and 1931.

Locomotive 28

Locomotive No. 28 is the last surviving Welsh-built standard gauge locomotive. It began its TVR career working the mineral and coal trains from collieries to port. By 1922 when the Great Western Railway had taken control, it had run 483,189 miles, and by 1923 was given a major overhaul, receiving a new boiler from the West Yard Works.

Absorbed into the GWR fleet, No. 28 was renumbered No. 450, and given a GWR-style cover over its safety valve, its external design was unchanged. It was withdrawn from service on 30 October 1926, but was found to be in good mechanical condition and sold to the Government in 1927, for use on the Woolmer Military Instructional Railway, later called the Longmoor Military Railway. The engine was named "Gordon", after the General of Khartoum, and was kept in immaculate condition in Hampshire, performing relatively light duties compared to its TVR working days.

The Second World War broke out and No. 28 was renumbered W.D. 205, then W.D. 70205, before becoming surplus again and put into storage. It was then sold in 1947 to the National Coal Board and used at their Hetton colliery railway. It was renumbered No. 67, though still retaining the "Gordon" nameplates as it engaged in heavy work on the coalfields again. It received a major overhaul in 1955, with minor alterations to its external design, but by 1959 it needed boiler repairs and was withdrawn from service in 1960.

Preservation

Following requests to NCB that it should be saved, locomotive 28 was successfully presented to British Railways for preservation in 1962. It is now part of the National Collection. It was originally intended that the last Welsh-built standard gauge locomotive be restored to original TVR condition at the Caerphilly Locomotive Works, however the site was given notice of closure and No. 28 was the last to leave for storage in Swindon and London.

In 1966, it was returned to Caerphilly as the National Museum of Wales had been given custodianship of the locomotive. In the 1983 the engine was restored to working order by the Caerphilly Railway Society and ran for about 7 years, until taken out of service to await routine boiler examination. Caerphilly Railway Society subsequently closed. The locomotive then spent over a decade on loan to the Dean Forest Railway who dismantled it for a more thorough restoration, but this was unsuccessful due to the discovery of cracked springs.

The NRM later in 2013 moved the locomotive to the Llangollen Railway where it was to be reassembled. In 2013 the cosmetic restoration of No. 28 was set to go ahead thanks to a three-way partnership between the National Railway Museum, the Llangollen Railway, and the Gwili Railway, with the aim of returning the locomotive to original condition. In 2014 it moved to the Gwili Railway on static loan under the care of the Gwili Vintage Carriages Group, with the current agreement due to expire in February 2020.

On 1 October 2019 the National Railway Museum and Welsh Railways Trust (Formerly Gwili Vintage Carriages Group) announced a three-year overhaul agreement to return it to steam in a £160,000 project, part-funded by a £18,000 grant from the Association for Industrial Archaeology. This grant will be used to restore the rolling chassis of the locomotive, which includes original Taff Vale Railway components. The overhaul will be carried out at the Gwili Railway, where it will then work.

The hands below were dealt in a game of Minibridge.
How many points does each player have?
Who announces his points first?
Which pair are the declaring side?
Who is declarer and who is dummy?
Which player makes the first lead?
Which suit would you advise defender to lead?
How many tricks is declarer sure to make?
Would you advise declarer to go for game?
Does declarer have any chance of making extra tricks?
You may find it helpful to take a pack of cards and lay the hand out on the table when working out the play.
1. West has four points North has fourteen points. East has six points South has sixteen points.
2. West announces his points first because he is dealer.
3. North/South are the declaring side. They have thirty points between the two hands whilst West/East have only ten points in the combined hands.
4. South is declarer because he has the most points. North is dummy because dummy is always the hand opposite declarer.
5. West makes the first lead because he is to the left of declarer.
6. The defence should lead hearts, because West holds a solid sequence and the lead is safe. Even though North has the ace and king, it will not give declarer a trick that is not his by right. The queen is the card that is usually led from Q J 10. Lead the top card of the sequence to tell partner about your holding.
7. Nine tricks are available in top cards. Two spades, two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs.
8. Yes. With nine top tricks in no trumps, declarer should certainly go for game.
9. Yes. Declarer and dummy have more spades than the defenders. If the defenders' spades break with three in each hand, as they do, declarer can play three rounds of spades, winning two and losing one. He will then be left with the last spade in dummy and this can win a trick.


The Tony Serrano Century Ride - http://www.tonyserranoride.com/ April 9th, 2016.
I am sure we will be discussing this at the next meeting of the Walton County Repeater Group (https://wc4rg.wordpress.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/groups/1066043030080902/) which is this Thursday evening (2-18-16) at 7:30 pm, at the Walton County Fire Rescue Headquarters. Which is located at 1000 Heritage Pkwy, Between, GA 30656. If you would like to volunteer ham radio services for this event it would probably be good if you could come to that meeting.
This was more of a skill oriented thing than a volunteer event. There is a calendar of events on the website. I did this one time and it was fun and enlightening. I only got lost a couple of times.
This will take place Sat, April 16, 10am – 4pm but there is no location listed on their website yet. I have contacted Kyle with GARS (kyle@kandka.com) to see if I can get more info.
I do not have any equipment for this type of event so we would need to look into getting something. I have heard of guys buying kits and building them as a group but I have no more info on that at this time. I will see if Kyle can give me more info on that as well.
Kung Fury! in all of it's glory.
Orienteering sounds like something my family would like to do. That March 26th Event sounds pretty cool. I'll check my schedule and see if I'm free the next few days. That may be an event we use for a preparedness event if possible.

Original 1st printing 12&7/8 x 21&5/8" concert poster for the Grateful Dead (misspelled "Greatful Dead"), appearing with the Real Thing and Autumn People (lights by Marshmellow Cannon) at the Continental Ballroom (Auditorium) in Santa Clara, CA on 5/20/1967.
Art by Lee Cannon, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 233 (plate 2.343).
Thick flat vellum stock poster is in decent/used (B/B-) condition; there are small tape pulls and tack holes in all four corners (tack holes also in the top/bottom center margin and an additional pull in the ticket outlet area in the lower left corner), along with a series of thin stress bends, a few stray surface scuffs, a series of extra-thin hairline-thin horizontal roll creases in the lower part of the image area, a light vertical stain/discoloration along the left margin, a few tiny edge dings, a light amount of toning and a set of tape pulls/remnants on the reverse... definitely a little bit on the worn side, but it's all there.
AWESOME-looking low-run mid-'67 Grateful Dead poster from the Art of Rock book.
