I woke up Tuesday (July 14) to buzz after buzz on my phone — texts flooding in from young Iranians I had met in June, celebrating the historic nuclear agreement that had just been announced.
Only a few weeks have passed since I visited Iran with a select interfaith U.S. delegation, where we worked to break down the cultural and religious barriers that separate us and Iran.
I am hopeful that this deal will empower many of the brilliant young leaders in Iran to steer their country to a better, more inclusive place.
When many Americans think of Iran, they generally envision conservative Muslim religious and political leaders who articulate a strict and unyielding adherence to their version of the teachings of the Quran.

Once we sail into the known areas for whales, we will look for signs of wildlife; birds and splashing for dolphin, and spouts to find whales. When we spot the whales, we will follow alongside and observe these gentle giants, providing some amazing memories and photo opportunities. Sometimes, they will come right up to the boat for an unbelievable view.
Just a couple miles offshore from San Diego, we are lucky enough to spot Gray whales migrating South, from Alaska to Baja, and then back to Alaska after mating and calving in the lagoons of Baja, Mexico. The season in Southern California starts in December and goes through March. The Eastern Pacific migration consists of over 20,000 Gray Whales, so we have a great chance to spot these amazing animals. They will hug the California coastline on their way down to Mexico, and can be found off Point Loma, just outside the kelp beds. In February, the transitional period begins, where we start to see whales traveling North. On the Northbound leg of the migration, we tend to see larger pods traveling a bit further offshore. The Gray Whales will travel in pods from two all the way up to twenty four. On your whale watching tour we will sail into the known areas looking for whales, we will look for signs of wildlife; birds and splashing for dolphin, and spouts to find whales. When we spot the whales, we will follow alongside and observe these gentle giants, providing some amazing memories and photo opportunities. Sometimes, they will come right up to the boat for an unbelievable view. There is a 4 hour minimum for whale and dolphin watching charters.
We have multiple species of Dolphin in the waters offshore San Diego, and a resident population of Bottle Nose Dolphin in San Diego Harbor. Most of the pods we find are extremely friendly, and will often come right up to the bow of our boat to say hello and smile for some photos. On our adventures offshore, we will typically come across huge pods of Common Dolphin, which we call megapods. These megapods will can contain thousands of Dolphin, and seem to be never ending. These friendly mammals will surely show off their swimming and acrobatic skills for your group, creating an experience you will never forget. Book your San Diego gray whale and dolphin watching tour today! (Duration 4 Hours).

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story gets its first trailer3 min read
Sebastien ClarkeApril 7, 201600245
The first teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has arrived, and by the look of things this is a very different take at the rejuvenated sci-fi saga. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Monsters), Rogue One is the first of several planned spin-off movies, and is said to take place just before the events of the original film. In it, a group led by Felicity Jones sets out to steal plans for the Death Star — the same plans, it seems, that Princess Leia stored in the memory banks of R2-D2 back in 1977.
Jones, who we learn is named Jyn Erso in the film, is the focal point of the trailer, painted as a rebel from the start. She's definitely a rogue, as an unnamed authority figure lists her many crimes, including forgery and aggravated assault. Mon Mothma says she's "reckless, aggressive, and undisciplined" — but those qualities are probably what will help her most in the battles ahead. "This is a rebellion, isn't it?" she asks. "I rebel."
"THIS IS A REBELLION, ISN'T IT? I REBEL."

At Star Wars Celebration last year, Edwards talked about his inspiration for the film, and how he was looking to create a grittier take on the franchise, citing Saving Private Ryan as one of several inspirations. The menacing, black-clad trooper featured in last night's teaser preview seemed to signal just that, and the intensity of today's trailer certainly follows through. (Imagine facing down AT-ATs while on foot.) With the traditional serialized saga safely rebooted thanks to The Force Awakens, Rogue Onerepresents an effort to expand Star Wars into a more traditional cinematic expanded universe, similar to what Marvel has done in recent years. It will turn Star Wars into an annual event, with Rogue One slated for release on December 16th, Rian Johnson's Episode VIII following one year later, a Han Solo spin-off film coming in 2018, and then Episode IX capping off the Skywalker saga in 2019. There's also another anthology film scheduled for 2020, though as of yet neither a title nor character has been officially announced. Rumors, however, have centered on everyone from Boba Fett to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Acrylic paint is formulated with pigments suspended in an acrylic or plastic binding emulsion with a water base. Acrylics dry very quickly and are available in a wide spectrum of colours. They are simple to apply, do not emit toxic fumes and can be cleaned with soap and water. The medium on which they are painted must be sturdy, but otherwise there are no limits to the use of acrylics. As a traditional painting surface, wood can provide an interesting grain pattern, but it is quite porous, so sealing it may be required.
Apply gesso with a broad brush across the entire wood panel, using as many coats as needed and ensuring that it is completely covered with no wood showing below and that the layers are even. Begin by applying the gesso vertically, letting that dry, then horizontally, to ensure an even application.
Sand away any excess gesso once it has dried, which will take about 30 minutes per coat. Make sure your surface is completely level to begin painting.
Draw a sketch of the painting on a piece of paper that you wish to recreate on the wood panel, making notes about the colours and details. Acrylic paint is quite forgiving and can easily be painted over, but making a sketch beforehand can save time and resources.
Paint your images directly onto the panel, using the sketch as your guide. Allow the paint to dry and then add details and highlights. Experiment by building up colours in different areas.
Wood absorbs the moisture in acrylic paint, but a gesso layer is highly recommended on wood to prevent that process. Primarily used in oil painting, gesso provides the barrier between the paint and the wood so the colours remain true and do not dry out. Acrylic medium can also be used instead of gesso. This material has the same formula as acrylic paint, but without the pigment. It is available in three weights: medium, gel or paste, and two finishes, matt or gloss. If you are confident in your imagery, you can sketch directly onto the gesso as underpainting (a technique used by masters like Da Vinci and Michelangelo) or you can begin without a sketch. Mix the acrylic paint with a medium to experiment with different facets of the paints. Make them thicker or thinner, lighter or darker, glossier or matted. The heaviness of the wood will allow you to paint on multiple layers without any warping, a common problem with paper or canvas. Any combination of factors will determine how your finished piece will look. For example, you can use an acrylic medium that will make the finished piece look like a metallic bas relief, by using a medium, matt product with metallic acrylics. Try different sizes of wood panels and paints to become familiar with the surface and the media.
Use a well-ventilated space for your painting; although acrylics are relatively nontoxic, as opposed to oils, some colours contain mercury, arsenic or cadmium to achieve the required pigmentation.
