A 12-month study mapping bacterial diversity within a hospital -- with a focus on the flow of microbes between patients, staff and surfaces -- should help hospitals worldwide better understand how to encourage beneficial microbial interactions and decrease potentially harmful contact.
"The Hospital Microbiome Project is the single biggest microbiome analysis of a hospital performed, and one of the largest microbiome studies ever," said study author Jack Gilbert, PhD, director of the Microbiome Center and professor of surgery at the University of Chicago and group leader in Microbial Ecology at Argonne National Laboratory.
"We've created a detailed map, highly relevant to clinical practice, of microbial exchange and interaction in a large hospital environment," he said. "This describes the ecology of a building, a thriving microbial ecosystem that regularly interacts with patients in a seemingly benign way - at least most people don't appear to be negatively affected. It gives us a framework, something we can build on, showing how microorganisms enter and colonize a hospital environment."
The study, "Bacterial colonization and succession in a newly opened hospital," began two months before the University of Chicago Medicine opened its new hospital, the Center for Care and Discovery, on Feb. 23, 2013, and continued for 10 months afterward. The researchers collected more than 10,000 samples. They were able to detect microbial DNA in 6,523. These came from 10 patient care rooms and two adjoining nursing stations, one caring for surgical patients and the other, on a different floor, for cancer patients.
The investigators swabbed each patient's hand, nostril and armpit, as well as the surfaces patients may have touched, such as bedrails or faucet handles. They collected additional room samples from multiple surfaces, including the floor and the air filter. Each room was cleaned daily, with a more extensive cleaning after each patient's discharge.
The researchers also gathered samples from each unit's nursing staff, swabbing their hands, gloves, shoes, nursing station countertops, pagers, shirts, chairs, computers, land lines and cell phones.
"Before it opened, the hospital had a relatively low diversity of bacteria," Gilbert said. "But as soon as it was populated with patients, doctors and nurses, the bacteria from their skin took over."
A second, and ongoing, set of changes followed each patient's hospital admission. On a patient's first day in the hospital, microbes tended to move from surfaces in the patient's room -- bedrails, countertops, faucet handles -- to the patient. But by the next and every subsequent day, the preponderance of microbes moved in the other direction, from the patient to the room, steadily adding to the microbial diversity of the surfaces in the room.
"By the second day of their stay," Gilbert said, "the route of microbial transmission was reversed. Within 24 hours, the patient's microbiome takes over the hospital space."
There were two unanticipated findings. First, when the heat and humidity increased during the summer, staff members shared more bacteria with each other. Second, when they measured the impact of treatments -- such as antibiotics prior to or during admission, chemotherapy during admission, surgery, or admission to the hospital though the emergency department -- the impact was minimal.
"We consistently found that antibiotics given intravenously or by mouth had almost no impact on the skin microbiome," Gilbert said. "But when a patient received a topical antibiotic, then, as expected, it wiped out the skin microbes."
"This requires further study," Gilbert said, "but if it proves to be true then these genetic changes could affect the bacteria's ability to invade tissue or to escape standard treatments."
The study, published May 24 in Science Translational Medicine, "demonstrates the extent to which the microbial ecology of patient skin and of hospital surfaces are intertwined and may provide context to future studies of the transmission of hospital-acquired infections," the authors conclude.
The study was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Microbiology of the Built Environment Program and the United States Department of Energy. Additional authors were Simon Lax, Naseer Sangwan, Peter Larsen, Kim M Handley, Miles Richardson, John Alverdy, Kristina Guyton, Monika Krezalek, Benjamin Shogan, Jennifer Defazio, Irma Flemming, Baddr Shakhsheer, Stephen Weber, Emily Landon and Sylvia Garcia-Houchins from the University of Chicago and/or Argonne National Laboratory; Daniel Smith from Baylor College of Medicine; Jeffrey Siegel from the University of Toronto; Rob Knight from the University of California, San Diego; and Brent Stephens from the Illinois Institute of Technology.

1. It's staying the No. 1 pick even if almost no one is going right now. The top bite is the bluefin tuna (and yellowtail) bite on the offshore tuna grounds. Most of the bluefin are 25 to 35 pounds while the yellowtail are a smaller grade fish from five to 10 pounds. Overnight and 1.5-day trips, mostly out of San Diego and Oceanside Landings, are still making a few runs. What a way to start the new year. Tuna! For an update on the action, check the reports and audio on 976-tuna.com.
2. The winter trout bite on the upper Owens River just keeps getting better. A fixture in last winter's reports, it remains in the top picks this week. The big rainbows out of Crowley Lake are stacking up in the deep runs and riffles in the Hot Fingers stretch of the Owens. This is all catch-and-release fishing, but anglers are already report 20 to 30 fish days of trout to four pounds. For an update on this bite check with any of the fly-fishing shops or guide services in the Mammoth Lakes or Bishop region. Those include The Troutfitter at 760-934-2517, Sierra Drifters Guide Service at 760-935-4250, or Sierra Trout Magnet Fly Shop at 760-873-0010.
3. The Lake Skinner striper bite has been pretty solid for the past two weeks for anglers fishing cut baits at or near the inlet. These are mostly 2- to 5-pound class fish, but some bigger versions are showing now that the lake is getting trout plants. For an update on this bite, check with the marina staff at 951-926-8515.

Q: Concatenation inserting additional space character while joining the list in tcl. Is there a way to remove it? I am trying to split a variable and wishes to add a suffix to the first field and then later concatenate it with 2nd one using tcl
like
san_jose

to
san_state_jose

I can split the code
   set tcl_list [split $var_name "_"]
   set new_name [concat [lindex $tcl_list 0] "_state_" [lindex $tcl_list 1]]
   puts $new_name

But concatenation unfornatutly inserts additional space character before combining them as shown below
   san _state_ jose

Could you please  help me correcting that?
-Regards,
Div

A: One way is to use string cat:
set new_name [string cat [lindex $tcl_list 0] "_state_" [lindex $tcl_list 1]]

Or if new_name doesn't already exist, append:
append new_name [lindex $tcl_list 0] "_state_" [lindex $tcl_list 1]

Or just good old interpolation:
 set new_name "[lindex $tcl_list 0]_state_[lindex $tcl_list 1]"

Or maybe linsert and join:
set new_name [join [linsert $tcl_list 1 state] _]

A: I can solve the problem using regsub but I am interested in learning other ways also.
   set new_name [regsub {_} $var_name "_state_"]
   puts $new_name

-Regards,
D

A: set tcl_list [split san_jose "_"]
set new_name [concat [lindex $tcl_list 0]_state_[lindex $tcl_list 1]]
puts $new_name

Since a constant supply of water in the soil is necessary for plant survival and growth, the irrigation engineer is concern with how water moves in a soil, how much water a soil can hold and how much of it is available to plants. Generally, the finer the soil particles and larger the amount of organic matter, the more water a oil holds.
When the water first enters or makes its downward movement through the soil surface. It is called infiltration of water and the rate at which water and the rate at which water is penetrating the surface of soil at any given instant is called the infiltration rate, usually measured in cm/hr. infiltration rates may be ranged from 2.5cm/hr to about 25 cm /hr hydraulic conductivity values.
It is the quality of soil that enables it to transmit air and water and is measured in cm/day. Hydraulic conductivity depends on the properties of the soil. A soil that has high porosity and coarse open texture has high hydraulic conductivity values.
The downward movement of water through the soil due to force of gravity is termed as percolation. The percolation water goes into the soil unit it meets the free water table. On the one hand, due to rapid percolation, there is practically no danger of soil suffering from bad drainage, but on the other hand, there is a possibility of the dissolved plant nutrients like calcium and magnesium being carried into deep into roots of common field crop. In sand soil or open textured soil there is a rapid loss of water through percolation.
Once flow due to gravitational force has ceased the water moved in the form of thin or capillary film from a wet regions to dry region.

April 4, 1931: "Work will be started shortly on a trail leading to the proposed lookout on Thompson Mountain." (Fresno Bee)
June 18, 1931: "A crew of men under Ranger A.B. Gould is constructing a lookout station atop Thompson Peak, on the east side of Plumas National Forest.
When completed, the station will be the fifteenth in the forest. Men are stationed at each lookout through the summer to watch for fires and summon help in extinguishing them." (Feather River Bulletin)
June 26, 1931: "A two-story building has been erected on the highest peak of Mt. Thompson as a fire lookout station. A road has been completed to the summit and a telephone line installed." (Nevada State Journal)
July 7, 1931: "The forest service is building a two story building on top of Mount Thompson, back of Janesville at a lookout station. The mountain is over 7000 feet high and the severe winds at that height are giving the carpenters much trouble in shingling the lookout.
The lookout station had to be anchored by big cables to hold it in place." (Reno Evening Gazette)
July 10, 1931: "The forest service is constructing a two-story building at the summit of Mount Thompson located back of Janesville in Honey Lake valley to be used as a lookout station for the region, visitors from the north said yesterday. The mountain has an elevation of more than 7000 feet, and on account of the heavy winds prevailing at the summit, it has been necessary to anchor the building in place with large cables.
Carpenters at work on the structure declare they are experiencing much difficulty in shingling the building because of the severity of the wind." (Nevada State Journal)
November 6, 1931: "Ranger Foster, lookout station tender at the summit of Mount Thompson, has moved down to Milford for the winter. He will engage in trapping in the adjacent mountain." (Nevada State Journal)
June 26, 1932: "Ranger Beard was at Mt. Thompson the past week where there is a lookout station being erected." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
July 26, 1932: "F. Bell of Laufman Station spent the past week painting the Mt. Thompson lookout station." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
October 13, 1932: "The Thompson Peak station where Harry Foster was on duty, was struck by lightning and the tubes of his radio put out of commission." (Indian Valley Record)
August 4, 1933: "A sudden blaze shooting up from below the floorboards of a logging truck, ate its way over nearly six hundred acres of timber south of Thompson Peak as early efforts to check it Friday failed.
A defective wiring underneath the truck blazed forth without warning. The driver alone could not check the flames even with the aid of a passerby, so rapidly did the blaze spread. The lookout on Thompson peak reported the fire to headquarters, and two hundred men from the Crocker CCC camp in Plumas County, were ultimately called to fight the fast moving blaze.
On Saturday, the day after the fire started, the flames were once brought under control, but the high wind which held the fire in the tops of the trees, carried it over the narrow trail and necessitated all night work before being brought under control.
The fire was the largest that has hit this section of the country this season. Over half of the timber was government property, the rest being private holdings of the F.G.S." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
April 27, 1934: "Harry Foster spent several days at the Mt. Thompson lookout station while he was working on the grade going to the station." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
June 8, 1935: "Harry Foster moved up to the Mt Thompson Peak lookout station Wednesday where he will do some road work before going on duty as lookout man for fires. He was accompanied by Ranger Ben Beard who reports the road to the station still blocked by snow drifts of considerable depth." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
October 17, 1936: Mr. and Mrs. Chester Herchberger moved Monday to the lookout station on Mt Thompson, where they remained for this week while the regular lookout man, Keifer Pattan, went deer hunting." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)

Thirty guests were present for thew occasion." (Reno Evening Gazette)
July 3, 1991: "U.S. Forest Service officials reported June 29 that the fire lookout tower at Thompson Peak had been vandalized. No estimation of the damage was available." (Feather River Bulletin)
2015: Between wind damage and vandalism, the lookout has been closed until repairs can be made. An alternate fire watch arrangement has been taken.
August 3, 2016: "The Thompson Peak lookout and access road in the northeastern Plumas National Forest will be temporarily closed from August 3 to September 30, 2016, due to construction activities. Fire watch coverage will not be affected by the closure." (YubaNet)

Why did King Robb not return to the North via the alternate route through the Bay of Crabs?
After his conquests in the Westerlands when King Robb returns to Riverrun, his first priority was retaking the North from Iron Islanders. His marriage to Jeyne Westerling had alienated the Freys and matters were further complicated by the treasonous murders committed by Karstarks. His passage to The North via The Twins was in peril.
As per Catelyn Chapter III in ASoS he was actively exploring alternate routes to go North, including through the Bloody Gate of Vale:
Robb: I've asked only that she (Lysa Arryn) open the Bloody Gate for us, and provide ships at Gulltown to take us north. The high road would be hard, but not so hard as fighting our way up the Neck. If I could land at White Harbor I could flank Moat Cailin and drive the ironmen from the North in half a year.
He was spending a lot of time brooding over the maps. Why did not he or any of his counsellors think of the following route:
Follow the Red Fork from Riverrun to Darry.
Reach White Harbour from the Bay of Crabs.
Flank Moat Cailin from the rear and retake rest of the North.
Admittedly, it would have been a long sea journey and the only show stopper I can think of could be lack of sea-faring vessels at his disposal. But he only needed ships to carry his men and not war-ships. Certainly, the naval prowess of Riverlands at his disposal was sufficient for this voyage?
PS : I am still in the middle of ASoS, so beg your pardon if there is a reference of this option (and reasons it was not feasible) in subsequent chapters.

I think there are two things that you are overlooking.
The first is that the Lannister army could have easily cut them off. Having an entire army move anywhere is a slow and laborious prospect. The Lannisters would have known where the Stark army was moving (through spies etc.), and moved their own army to cut them off. Then the Starks would have had to contend with the Lannisters, something they did not want to do at all.
Even the risk of this would be enough to discourage Robb and his advisers, they would not want to potentially fight through an entire army, only to then go and fight another, their forces would be decimated. In order to retake the North they needed as many men as possible.
The reason they wanted to go through the Vale and depart from Gulltown would have been to avoid any confrontation with the Lannisters. This would be via land or sea, as departing from the Saltpans would mean a much longer sea journey, and the Lannisters backed up with ships from Highgarden could also have intercepted them easily.
Secondly, there are the logistics of such movements. Having to move an army across the country from west to east, then carry them across the sea, all whilst keeping them fed, and also transporting all of their weapons etc. is very costly. I'm not sure if it's explicitly stated where any ships from the Riverlands might be, but they might not all be able to reach the eastern shore to transport them.
This would mean hiring civilian vessels, most likely merchant ships, to transport troops. Those ships would not doing any trading at this time, so they would have to be compensated for that, even if they do agree to take them. Hiring individual ships to do this would be ridiculously costly, and the Starks had already spent a lot of money on this war.
Then the merchant ships would have to make a journey they possibly haven't made before. And it's not like they would be an organized force, hiring merchant ships might mean that some troops arrive there in 2 weeks, and some in 2 months. They would then have to regroup and only then could they attack Moat Cailin.
It's also unlikely Robb or the Stark bannermen would have chosen to trust civilian vessels to carry large chunks of their army overseas.
I do not agree with your first point. Lannister army had almost completely retreated all the way back to the King's Landing at this point. (apart from the small groups commanded by the mountain) I do not think either Lannister or Tyrell fleet was anywhere in the vicinity. Your second point is much more plausible but it would be great if we can find any references of Riverrun's naval strength. – pat_nafs Apr 7 '15 at 14:45
@pat_nafs - When an army moves cross country you don't really need a huge army to pick it off, and you wouldn't want to. An army, as stated before, moves very slowly. Small raiding parties can nibble away at a moving army and destroy farmlands in its path (to deprive it from food). You only need another huge army if the opposing one is coming in your direction. In real life, much of the Hundred Years War was fought like that. – System Down Apr 7 '15 at 16:41
I think you've found the problem yourself: lack of sea-faring ships.
In the quote you provide, Robb mentions that he asked Lysa Arryn to provide ships, and she refused.
You mention the naval prowess of the Riverlands. But remember that the Riverlands has been torn by war and pillaging for a long time - whatever resources they had at the start of the novels must be quite depleted by now. And they might not have had many sea ships to begin with anyway. You need different types of craft for sailing on the sea and on rivers.
Who would be able to provide ships at Saltpans? Who even held Saltpans at that time? It wouldn't be like going to the Vale of Arryn, which had remained relatively stable throughout the war so far.
Rand al'Thor♦Rand al'Thor
I did not propose acquiring the ships from Saltpans. I implied sailing from Riverrun. Riverlands were ravaged by wars but there was no large scale destruction of their navy and considering their intimate dependence on rivers / water find it hard to swallow they did not have significant naval strength, including sea-faring vessels... – pat_nafs Apr 7 '15 at 11:07
@pat_nafs I doubt he'd be able to bring ships large enough to go to sea all the way along the Red Fork from Riverrun. River boats are very different from sea ships, and I doubt the Riverlands had many of the latter. Certainly not at Riverrun - maybe at Seagard or Saltpans, if they count as Riverlands (I can't remember the exact borders). – Rand al'Thor♦ Apr 7 '15 at 11:09
Yep, I also have doubts about the Naval strength at Robb's disposal. And since, this option was not discussed (or at least shared with Catelyn), I think this is the only logical conclusion we are left with. Thanks. – pat_nafs Apr 7 '15 at 14:52
On a related note : another reason why it would have been great to have Robb POV chapters! – pat_nafs Apr 7 '15 at 14:55
There are two important factors here.
First of all, there are several reasons why the sea travel is not an attractive option:
As you said in your question, it will be a much more lengthy travel.
A lot of things can happen in the course of the war while they sail north.
There are Iron Men involved in the north revolt, they are fierce and temible on water, and surely Rob, who doesn't have enough intel about enemy forces at the moment, could fear Iron Men intercepting his vessels during travel north.
Arriving by sea at White Harbor could span several weeks since the first vessels arrive and the full strengthen army completes the arrival, as travel by sea is much more prone to weather delays. It's quite difficult to maintain perfectly grouped a large army, even military fleets face often problems to keep grouped. This could allow enemy forces to put siege to White Harbor or, at least blockade their port, forcing the rest of the fleet to find other safe places to disembark and making them vulnerable to quick attacks.
The second factor is that Rob truly believes that he can put a diplomatic solution to their feud with the Freys. This will open him safe pass to a ground enter in the North, faster, cheaper, being less vulnerable to a counterattack, and with it's army in better conditions.

Follow the directions below to start your seeds. Keep your seeds in their sealed packet in a cool, dry place until ready to sow.
To harvest and store your herbs, there a a few simple rules to keep in mind. Harvest early in the day, after the dew has dried, but while the herbs are still lush in the cool of the morning. Most herbs are at their peak just before they bloom. Use fresh, or air dry carefully out of the direct sun, in the oven, or even in the microwave. See website for more instructions. If you're looking for ornamental kettles to add to your tea time collection – In The Kitchen has the top 10 coolest kettles we've ever found.
And now to the herbs!
This beautiful perennial is a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies and beneficial insects and would be welcome in any garden for its showy flowers and fragrant foliage. But many grow it for its medicinal and herbal properties. The leaves have a strong scent of licorice with a touch of mint, hence its nickname "licorice mint." Leaves and flowers can be used fresh or dried for salads, teas and garnishes.
Anise hyssop grows up to four feet tall and produces blue spikes of compound florets. The seeds are easy to germinate and grow with full sun and average water. It self seeds readily and often blooms the first year. New seedlings are hardy and transplant easily. Plant the tiny seeds on soil surface, pat down gently and water well. Optimum germination temperature is 60-70 F. with germination in 10-40 days.
When you look closely at the blue flowers of dragonshead, you'll see where it got its name. Sometimes also called Melissa, Moldavian Balm, or Moldavian Dragon's Head, this lovely little annual is easy to grow and both the flowers and leaves have a delightful lemon scent. The leaves can be used fresh or dried to make a lemony flavored tea. The dried leaves are stronger in flavor than lemon balm and the foliage holds its scent well when dried. Best of all, bees love this plant, and it will attract lots of beneficial pollinators to your garden.
Blooming in summer, the bright blue-violet flowers are held in upright terminal clusters above the dark green thin foliage. It grows about 2 feet tall, with a spread of about a foot. It will tolerate semi-shade, but is happiest in full sun and moist soil, although it is more drought tolerant as it grows. Start seeds indoors to plant out after all danger of frost. Plant seeds ¼" deep, germination temperatures can range from 50-75° F, and germination should be from 7-14 days.
Although chamomile is an annual, this sturdy little plant will reseed readily if planted in the right location, and reward you with a bouquet of uses: aromatic, cosmetic, culinary, decorative, and medicinal. Among other uses, the leaves and golden dried flowers are used for tea to calm frayed nerves (or even your restless child), to treat various stomach problems, and to relieve muscle spasms. Dried leaves and flowers are used to scent potpourris. Chamomile also is used for soothing baths and skin lotions, and a chamomile rinse adds golden highlights to blonde hair.
Chamomile seeds are tiny! When you are ready to plant, carefully shake the seed packet contents onto a piece of dry white paper, and use a slightly moistened toothpick to pick up the seeds. Plant into prepared medium, gently pressing into the surface, do not cover. Germination is 4-8 days at 55-70° F. When the plants are big enough to handle, transplant into your garden or container 6 inches apart. Prefers light, dry soil. Keep plants moist until established.
You can grow horehound and use it in your own soothing teas, or if you are adventurous, in your own homemade candy. Candy made from the herb horehound was often given as a cough drop to sooth deep chest coughs. Horehound can be started from seed and harvested the first year. This woody perennial grows 8-24″ tall and has hairy stems covered with downy, gray-green leaves. The leaves have a wooly crinkled appearance. The small, off-white flowers are born in summer and are said to attract beneficial insects to the garden. As an added bonus, it's a great companion plant for tomatoes and peppers.
Start your seeds indoors 12 weeks before transplanting. Sow the seeds ¼" deep with soil temperature 70-85° F. Keep the seed moist until germination. When two leaves have formed on the seedlings, they are ready to transplant into the garden in a sunny location. Do not over water horehound, it likes to dry out between waterings. Grow horehound in any well-drained, soil in full sun.
Keep cutting back for new growth and extended harvests. The leaves and flowers lose their flavor quickly, so snip them into smaller pieces to dry on screens. When dry, crumble and store in jars.
Lemon balm is one of the most prized summer herbs for teas. A perennial lemon-scented member of the mint family, it's a great candidate for a container. Fresh sprigs are beautiful to top drinks and as garnishes on salads and main dishes. The dried leaves scent potpourris. Lemon balm is used in a facial steam to clean the skin. It also is used in teas, beers, and wine and with fish, mushrooms, and soft cheeses. Fresh leaves are used in salads, marinades for vegetables, chicken salad, and poultry stuffings.
Lemon balm is easily grown from seed; germination is best when seed is uncovered. Start earliest seed 6-8 weeks before the date of last frost. You may also sow the seed directly outside in the spring or fall. Germination time is widely variable, between 10-40 days at 60-70° F. Make sure the planting medium does not dry out while the seeds are germinating, and be patient if needed. Enjoys well-drained soil in full sunlight. Leaf growth may be slow the first year, and more vigorous thereafter.
Harvest before the plant flowers, for optimum fragrance. Cut the entire plant about 2 inches above ground. Dry quickly to prevent the leaves from turning black. Lemon balm should be dried within 2 days at temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees F. Place on a wire rack to dry. Store in an airtight container.

Students walk out of Ignacio High School to call out racism – The Durango Herald
The supervisor says the protest is an opportunity to "learn a few things, and move forward in a good way"
Isabella Lee Masters, left, and Alexis Ortiz, far right, participated in the Ignacio High School strike on Friday to protest racism. They said they were fired from their Senate positions for high school students because they chose to participate in the strike. (Christian Burnie/Durango Herald)
IGNACIO – About 21 students left Ignacio High School Friday afternoon in protest at what they see as a lack of action by school officials in dealing with racist and discriminatory behavior directed by some white students towards students of color.
Students gathered along the side of the road on Browning Street and Baker Street, a block from the high school. Students waved signs that read "Don't Silence Our Voices, Hear Us," "IHS Doesn't Stand With Racism," "Open Your Eyes" and "Honk if you hate racism."
The drivers would sizzle often, and the students responded with cheers, applause, and thanks.
Students at the protest said there is a contrast between punishments for white students versus students of color who get into fights over racial slurs, with white students essentially receiving a "slap on the wrist" while students of color are temporarily suspended.
The withdrawal gives the administration pause, said Christopher Decay, director of the Ignacio School District. "You will learn a few things, and move forward in a good way," Friday said during an interview with management. Durango Herald.
"The kids, they have concerns about equality and racism, so they planned a peaceful demonstration, a withdrawal," Dickey said. "Before they came out, we tried — we had a town hall where we could talk about things and things we could do better and ways to move things forward. They do something in a peaceful way. On some level, we have to pay attention and we need to be proactive about what we are doing. with it ".
New student Elena Manuelito said the incident that sparked the protest included a brawl that broke out between two students earlier this month.
Manuelito said that one of the students used insults against another student, which led to a fight. Manuelito said the student who used the insults "received nothing but a slap on the wrist." But the other student, she was suspended from work for three days, she said.
Jeremy LeMasters, a father of four and still his youngest of three in the school district, said there have been multiple fights this month over racial insults directed at students of color.
Isabella Lee Masters, a student at Ignacio High School, said she was removed from the student senate because she chose to participate in the strike, which she helped organize with Alexis Ortiz, another freshman.
She said Ortiz was removed from the Senate.
Before the strike, Isabella LeMasters said the high school hosted a gathering to bring "both sides" together to discuss students' concerns about unaddressed racism.
Ignacio High School students went on strike Friday to protest what they see as high school racism with some students calling the students racially colored slurs. (Christian Burnie/Durango Herald)
Isabella LeMasters, who is black, said she's called the N-word on a daily basis. She said a female student in her Spanish class calls her an N every day, right in front of the teacher, and the student is never asked to stop and no disciplinary action has been taken against him.
She said teachers and staff don't know where to start mediating concerns about racism among students.
"They brought us all together (to gather) and told us to talk about it," Isabella told LeMasters. "And they didn't even seem to know what they were going to do. They were asking us for advice on how we want them to fix it rather than just what to do."
Superintendent DeKay said he knew nothing about the two students who were expelled from the Senate for participating in the strike. But at the end of the day, he said, the district wants students in class. The district wants to care about social justice, but it also wants to grow academically.
DeKay said he has not heard any concerns or reports about students making racist remarks about students of color.
"We have a staff that is very aware of and very supportive of cultural differences," he said. "When we know things in the office, we work hard to investigate and do the right thing."
Stephanie Lemaster, mother of Isabella Lemaster, introduced Announce With a copy of a letter you sent to your high school principal and superintendent urging the district to address racism in the classroom. She said she did not receive a response from the school district.
DeKay said he was aware of the letter and responded to Stephanie LeMasters via email on Friday.
Jeremy LeMasters said he gets angry when he hears his kids come home from school and talk about how they've faced racism from their classmates.
"I'm almost 50, dude," Jeremy LeMasters said. "I've lived in Colorado almost my whole life. I've been dealing with this (expletive) since I was a little kid. My oldest son, he's 26, comes out of here. Same stuff with him, you know? He didn't want me to do any something about it."
LeMasters said that when his eldest son was in school, his son didn't want to rock the boat, get in trouble, or be ostracized. He said the whole situation was heartbreaking for him.
"My daughter literally cried for days because of these things," he said. "And they love going to school. They are good kids, they are good students, and they don't get into trouble."

High-dose biotin trial produces disappointing results
This week, MedDay Pharmaceuticals announced that the second pivotal Phase 3 trial (SPI2) of MD1003 (biotin), an investigational product for primary and secondary progressive MS has failed to meet its primary and secondary endpoints.
MedDay Pharmaceuticals
The trial evaluated the safety and effectiveness of three daily doses of high dose (100mg) biotin compared to placebo in 642 people living with progressive MS without recent relapse. The main measure of the trial was an improvement in disability which could be a lower EDSS score or a reduction in the time to walk 25 feet. The study failed to demonstrate an improvement in either of these measures compared to the placebo group.
MD1003 is a highly concentrated formulation of biotin. Biotin is one of the B-group vitamins (vitamin B7). It has been suggested that very high doses of biotin may be effective in MS by promoting myelin repair through activation of an enzyme involved in myelin synthesis and by enhancing energy production in demyelinated nerves.
An earlier clinical trial of 154 participants with progressive MS had provided initial evidence that high doses of biotin may impact disability progression. An improvement in disability after 9 months of treatment which was still evident at 12 months was the main measure of this earlier trial. Over 12% of the MD1003 group met this criteria compared to none in the placebo group.
MedDay have said they will present more detailed results from the study in April at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) meeting which will take place in Toronto.

I debugged the code to check for errors in my tests, but I can't even get there, since it's failing in the creation of WireMockClassRule (see code below).
private static int VVS_PORT_MOCK;
static {
    try {
        VVS_PORT_MOCK = (new ServerSocket(0)).getLocalPort();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        //
    }
}

@Rule
public static WireMockClassRule wireMockRule = new WireMockClassRule(VVS_PORT_MOCK);

The problem seems to be in the dynamic assignment of the port, cause if I hardcode a port value:
 private static int VVS_PORT_MOCK = 8989; //using this it works

All the test are passing with no problems (but since this is a unit test, I'm trying to avoid hardcoding it, because I want to ensure that the test will pass everywhere).
(I checked with netstat to see if the port assigned was being used before, but there's no problem there)
I'm thinking it has to do with some local configuration that I'm missing, but I'm lost at this point.
Any ideas of what may be happening?
Also, please let me know if further information is required to address this issues.
Thnaks!

A: ServerSocket is retaining the port when you run the method "getLocalPort()" and when the code is instantiating the WireMockClassRule the port is already binded, causing the Exception that you are facing.
You can change the code block provided with something like this:
ServerSocket ss = null;
try {
    ss = new ServerSocket(0);
    PORT = ss.getLocalPort();
} catch (IOException e) {
    LOG.error("Socket Exception while opening socket:", e);
} finally {
    try {
        ss.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        LOG.error("Socket Exception while closing socket:", e);
    }
}

Let me know if it works

Ether 2011: Killing Joke
Royal Festival Hall, London - 1 April 2011
"This band somehow create a sound larger than the universe"
The very thought of seeing the mighty Killing Joke at the Royal Festival Hall on All Fools Day is something, initially, to be taken with a sense of humour. After a successful afternoon touring Samuel Smith's establishments, we arrived at the prestigious and luxurious venue just in time to miss the support band, but took our seats and awaited Killing Joke's emergence.
On the large backdrop screen, the cover of their latest release Absolute Dissent was displayed in all it's glory. The massive crucifix adorned with tannoy speakers, surrounded by billowing explosions was accompanied by a Bladerunner intro soundtrack. The atmosphere, despite being a restrained seated venue, was electric. The calm before the storm!
With over 30 years of experience and material under their belts, Killing Joke are never bound to fail to please, and in front of an almost full house, the founding four members made their way onstage and let rip in to Unspeakable from the What's THIS For...! album. To the solid barrage of Big Paul Ferguson's drums and Youth's bass, Geordie's guitar cut through like a slightly rusty sabre, right to the very heart of the machine. Jaz Coleman, dressed in full camouflage uniform and trademark warpaint, paced the stage like a terrorist of noise, a commander of the mass, his voice never strained or faltering. On a busman's holiday from Inertia, keyboardist Reza supplied some razor sharp melodies whilst looking almost like Dave Gahan's long lost brother with his red and black quiff intact. This band somehow manage to create a sound larger than the universe, without being just an assault of ear-shattering noise, more powerful than any metal band, more commanding than any battlefield General, and still keep you dancing.
Throughout the show, the video backdrop kept in faith with the songs, adding to the atmosphere of each track whether it be scenes of war, Fred Astaire dancing to Wardance, or the iron Thatcher dictating the Eighties. The set was a good mixture from over the 30 years of Killing Joke, and of course featured songs from their latest album. It was a slight surprise to get Love Like Blood as the second song in the set, but it did make you aware that there must be more gems to come. And there were!
The complete setlist ran thus: Unspeakable, Love Like Blood, Change, Wardance, Communion, Bloodsport, European Super State, This World Hell, Fall of Because, Ghost of Ladbroke Grove, Madness, Requiem, Primitive, The Great Cull, Asteroid, Depth Charge, The Wait and Psyche. As an encore, two more crowd pleasers in the form of Eighties, and Pandemonium.
After the 80 minute non-stop ride the auditorium lights came back on, and we suddenly realised that the voodoo trance was over. For nearly an hour and a half we had been totally under the spell of the mighty Killing Joke, oblivious to external problems, war, disasters, and stresses. This is a band that cannot be ignored, and should not be ignored. It's no wonder that their influence has spread far and wide, from NIN to Franz Ferdinand to Nirvana to my very own band. One more pub followed, and the last train home at midnight, content in the fact that the gig exceeded all expectations tied to a seated theatre. We lived like Kings and Queens. 9/10

This report is a terminal evaluation of a UNEP project implemented between 2010 and 2015. The main aim of the project was to support Major Groups and Stakeholders (MGS) participation within UNEP's work at policy, programmatic and governance levels and to facilitate the engagement of MGS in international environmental decision-making processes. The evaluation was undertaken after the project's completion to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency).


Famous for quotes such as "We must cultivate our garden," and "If we do not find anything pleasant, at least we will find something new," Voltaire, the philosophe, felt the cold acutely. And helped inform HOW we think today? This is a comprehensive, impeccably indexed and footnoted biography of this seminal man. The binding is only reasonable, there is one page loose but hey, it's just a map! And there are lots of words to compensate. Otherwise it is in Very Good Nick. One of the lovely things about this book is that it has a price tag in Euros (normally I remove these, but I love to think of the distance this book may have travelled.
First published 2010, this is a revised paperback edition from 2012.


In Skyscraper each digit placed in the grid can be visualised as a building of that many storeys. A '5' is a 5 storey building, for example. Each number outside the grid reveals the number of 'buildings' that can be seen from that point, looking along the adjacent row or column. Every building blocks all buildings of a lower height from view, while taller buildings are still visible beyond it.
For example, if you look along a row and see "1 2 3 4 5" then the clue at the start of the row would be 5, since no building obscures any other. If instead you looked along and saw "1 3 4 5 2" then the clue would be 4, since 4 buildings can be seen (the 5 obscures the 2).
We can also place a 5 in the very centre of the grid, using regular Sudoku-esque rules (to ensure one of each digit in each row and column).
Noting our pencilmarks and looking at the bottom row we can see there is only place for the '4' to fit, so we can add this in.
We can also progress using the skyscraper logic more directly. Consider the '2' clue at the top of the second column. There must be a 4 at the very top of this column, otherwise 3 or more buildings would be visible.
Similarly by elimination of other possible placements we can now place the '4' in the 4th row down, then the 4 in the 2nd row and finally the 4 in the 3rd row.
Look at the highlighted square above. The square beneath cannot contain a '1' because if it did then the '2' clue next to it would be wrong (we'd see 3 buildings from that point). So the highlighted square is the only place the '1' can fit in this column. If we add this we now have only one solution for this row that fulfils a '4' clue, since "1 2 3 4 5" would have given us a '5' clue. We can write this in.

Scranton is a 'hot commodity' for downtown residential housing
As appeared in The Times Tribune by James Haggerty on September 24, 2012.
Scranton's financial house may be in disorder, but the downtown residential boom continues to build momentum.
More than $11.3 million in three ongoing developments will add 74 apartments to Central City by next summer.
"Scranton is a hot commodity," said Charlie Jefferson, an investor in the $8.6 million redevelopment of the Scranton Chamber of Commerce Building at Mulberry Street and North Washington Avenue.
Scranton's municipal government is facing a credit crisis and recently borrowed $6.25 million to cover short-term financial obligations. City residents could face potential tax increases of 39 to 79 percent – or more – over the next three years.
But a downtown residential development trend that took flight in 2010 shows no evidence of interruption.
"I don't think we are anywhere near saturated," Art Russo, a Scranton building contractor and real estate developer, said as he strolled through an apartment complex he is constructing in an industrial building at 829-831 Adams Ave. "We have nothing empty. We can't build them fast enough. If I had 20 more apartments, they would have been rented."
There have been eight apartment developments in existing downtown buildings in the last 2½ years, Mayor Chris Doherty said.
"Are we challenged financially? Absolutely," he said. "Economic stuff, you can get through. The downtown is truly a neighborhood now. Nobody could talk about things like this three years ago."
Mr. Russo, one of the key figures in downtown apartment expansion, is part of a group investing $2 million in the renovation of a 45,000-square-foot structure about one-half block south of the Watres Armory. The Adams Avenue building housed a Bell of Pennsylvania plant for more than 50 years before a window and door manufacturer acquired it in the mid-1980s. A health- and beauty-products company leased the structure from 2007 to 2011.
Work on the site started in April, about two months after Mr. Russo's group acquired the structure and an adjoining vacant lot for $400,000 from a Scranton property holding company. Twelve apartments already are occupied by students from the nearby Commonwealth Medical College and six others are under construction and will be occupied by medical school students in December, Mr. Russo said. Nine more will be built by next summer, he said.
Rents range from $750 to $1,250 monthly and tenants have free parking and free use of laundry facilities.
"The med school is a tremendous asset to the city," Mr. Russo said as he sat in the building's lobby and workmen moved through the complex. "In 10 years, you are not going to be able to recognize this neighborhood."

A first-year medical student at the Commonwealth Medical College, Jonathan Berkman of Boston lives in a new apartment complex in the former Bell of Pennsylvania building at 829-831 Adams Ave. in Scranton.
Students from the medical school and the University of Scranton graduate school also occupy eight apartments Mr. Russo built this year in an ongoing $750,000 redevelopment at 217-219 Wyoming Ave.
Rents at the building, which includes six one-bedroom and two two-bedroom units, range from $700 to $1,000 monthly.
Mr. Russo's group acquired the 13,000-square-foot structure, which housed John's Bargain Store for many years, for $299,500 in June 2011. He expects the first floor to be used for offices and the renovation to be complete in November.
Residents will begin to move in November into the Chamber of Commerce Building, which will be called 426, its Mulberry Street address. The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce vacated the building in 1989 and relocated to 222 Mulberry St.
Rents at the 39-apartment complex will range from $725 to $1,500 monthly and 24 units already are leased, Mr. Jefferson said. He was part of group that invested $23 million in a redevelopment that created 89 apartment in the Connell Building in 2010.
"There is an attractiveness to the quality of life associated with the downtown," Mr. Jefferson said. "It's clean. It's livable. It's safe. It's walkable."
The state provided $3.5 million in grants for the renovation of the Chamber of Commerce Building, a landmark limestone Art Deco-style structure. The building will have five two-story lofts, three apartments with balconies overlooking a courtyard, second-floor flats with 20-foot ceilings and two units with fireplaces. Thirty-one of the units have one bedroom and there will be four spaces for street-level commercial tenants.
Property owner Charlie Jefferson and property manager Jessica Kalinoski stand in a corner apartment that features 20-foot ceilings in the new 426 apartments, Mulberry Street at North Washington. The redevelopment of the old Chamber of Commerce building will provide housing to people who want to live downtown.
Hangover from the financial crisis may provide drive behind the rising demand for downtown living space.
"Young people can't get mortgages," Mr. Doherty said. "It's part of the banking crisis."
Different groups gravitate to different downtown locations.
Mr. Russo is drawing students to his new developments, while the Chamber of Commerce Building – like the Connell Building before it – is attracting young married professionals and couples, area natives returning to the city and mature residents who want to get away from property-ownership expenses.
"It's not just one market we are looking at," Mr. Russo said.
The growing residential population also improves the downtown commercial atmosphere.
"There's been a heck of a lot of growth in the downtown in the last five years. I'm bullish," Mr. Jefferson said.
"People living downtown not only are residents, they are consumers," Mr. Doherty said. "One step leads to another. Next year, you are going to see the same amount of development, just in apartments."

The Gemito Collection
As part of the exhibition Artisti dell'Ottocento: temi e riscoperte, two rooms focuse on the sculptural and graphic production of the the Neapolitan artist Vincenzo Gemito (1852 - 1929), of whom the Gallery has a rich and important collection.
Vincenzo Gemito was one of the protagonists in 19th century Italian art. Works on display in these rooms focus on his human and artistic journey that has now become a true legend.
Born in Naples on July 17, 1852, Gemito was abandoned and raised by the Santissima Annunziata Maggiore Basilica and Orphanage, from where he was adopted by a childless couple: a carpenter and his wife, Giuseppina Baratta. From a young age he exhibited a talent for the arts and was placed first in a workshop of an academic sculptor and painter Emanuele Caggiano, and then with Stanislao Lista. Afterwards, he attended the Naples Academy of Fine arts, where he studied together with his friend Antonio Mancini.
During his youth, in parallel with painting commissioned portraits, which included famed subjects such as Giuseppe Verdi and Mariano Fortuny, Gemito completed, to particular success, a series of works on the theme of young fisherman. Two studies in wax from this series completed in 1876 are on display. Sometimes, the artist made his "street urchin" models pose on a cliff coated in soap in order to capture the tension of balancing in his works.
References to classical art are constant in Gemito's work. Already visible in his first works, such as Ritratto della Moglie Anna (Portrait of Anna, the Wife) dating to 1886, the references to classical art intensify in the years of his mental illness: in 1887, the sculptor was committed to a mental institution for a brief period. After his release, he closed himself in his home and did not emerge for 22 years.
Suffering from delirium and hallucinations, Gemito claimed to be able to speak with historical personalities such as Alexander the Great, for whom he designed an equestrian monument at the beginning of the 1910's, which was never completed. Among his preparatory studies, in addition to drawings and tondi (circular artwork), there is a Cavallo(Horse) with mobile joints, constructed with the help of a carpenter. He continued working up until his death, in Naples on March 1, 1929, completing several works with a classic form, such as La Giovinezza di Nettuno (Neptune's Youth), La Sorgente (The Spring) and La medusa (Medusa), while obsessively working on the theme of Alexander the Great.

Home Sectors TRANSPORTATION London bus garage becomes world's largest vehicle-to-grid site
London bus garage becomes world's largest vehicle-to-grid site
A North London bus garage is set to become a 'virtual power station', generating electricity from buses when not in use. Following a transformation to garage nearly 100 new zero-emission electric buses, Northumberland Park is now one of the biggest electric bus facilities in Europe. The project, called Bus2Grid, is believed to be the world's largest vehicle-to-grid (V2G) trial site.
Northumberland Park
V2G technology enables energy stored in an electric vehicle's battery to be fed back into the electricity network. By recharging when demand is low and putting energy into the grid when it is high, V2G helps manage the peaks and troughs, balance the network and make it more efficient.
If the entire London bus fleet of around 9,000 vehicles were to be converted with the technology being used in the Bus2Grid project, it could theoretically provide enough energy to supply more than 150,000 homes.
The Bus2Grid project will be led by SSE Enterprise in partnership with the Mayor of London, Transport for London (TfL) and Go-Ahead London. The initial trial will use the batteries of 28 state-of-the-art double decker buses, capable of returning over 1MW energy to the grid.
Bus2Grid will explore both the commercial value and social benefits to the energy and passenger transportation systems by developing services for the national grid, regional distribution network operators, bus operators and transport authorities. The development and test of the underpinning technology is also an important objective of the trial.
Niall Riddell, Smart Systems Innovation Sector Director for SSE Enterprise, said: "Central to the challenge of decarbonising our transport and achieving climate change targets is how we can optimise the existing flexibility within the energy system. Developing a charging infrastructure that operates in two directions so that batteries can give back as well as take from the grid is an important part of this.
"SSE Enterprise is proud to have electrified most of the bus garages in London that operate electric buses. Delivering the Bus2Grid project is the next natural step in using smart technology to make bidirectional charging the reality for today's bus users."
Go Ahead London was chosen by TfL to run the first electric buses in London back in 2013. It has now grown its fleet to 240 – making it the largest e-bus operator in Britain.
Dr Stephen Hall from the University of Leeds, one of the project partners, said: "Electrifying transport will have huge benefits for air quality in cities and for meeting our climate change commitments. Large electric vehicles like these can also support the energy system, but this means creating new ways of working between energy utilities, grid managers, and transport providers. This project is creating new business models to make this happen."
Frank Thorpe, Managing Director of BYD UK (Build Your Dreams), said: "This is a significant step for the BYD ADL Partnership, already the market leader in electric buses on British roads. Exploiting the potential of electric buses to act as 'mobile power stations' will be critical to the efficient running of the grid once electric vehicles of all types become commonplace."
UK Power Networks forecasts there will be more than 3.6 million electric vehicles connected to its network by 2030, an increase of more than 3.5 million on the 95,000 vehicles currently in its region, creating significant additional demand on the energy system. The options are either to spend customers' money on building new infrastructure to meet this increasing demand, or to charge in a smarter way to avoid it.
Ian Cameron, Head of Innovation at UK Power Networks, said: "We believe buses have a big part to play in rolling out low emission vehicles. They offer huge opportunities to contribute towards the drive to improve London's air quality.
"A fleet of bus batteries harnesses large amounts of electricity and they are habitual, with regular and predictable routes, driving patterns and timings. That means we can easily predict and plan for how we can use any spare electrical capacity they can offer. For example, we could use them as energy storage devices that could add capacity and help us to increase the volume of renewable energy exported onto the network when supply might otherwise be exceeding demand."
The three-year trial is funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) with the support of Innovate UK. The Bus2Grid project is being led by SSE Enterprise and supported by a partnership including bus manufacturer Build Your Dreams/Alexander Dennis Limited (BYDADL), TfL, bus operator Go Ahead Group, electricity distribution network UK Power Networks, Leeds University and Scotland based Alexander Dennis with aggregation of the buses supported by Origami.

A man and a young girl have been killed after a plane made an emergency landing on a beach in Portugal.
According to local reports, a 56-year-old man and an eight-year-old girl died after the light aircraft landed on the busy Sao Joao da Caparia beach in Almada, near the capital Lisbon. The two victims are not believed to be related.
While the plane's two occupants were said to be unharmed, witnesses branded the plane's pilot a "murderer", the Mail Online reported.
One witness known only as Mafalda, said grabbed her children as the plane came down.
"Those first moments were very tense. People wanted to attack the pilot and began to shout at him that he was a "killer". Everyone was really disgusted," the paper reported.
Another witness told Expresso: "We saw a plane flying very low and landing on the beach. First hit a man and then a little girl."
Media footage from the scene appears to show a light aircraft in the water of a beach, with emergency services attending. The small aircraft, reportedly a Cessna, appeared to have a partly broken left wing.
The victims were said to be sunbathing when the plane made its emergency landing. The girl who died had been with her parents, who were unhurt, the Associated Press reported.
Police said two people inside the aircraft were being questioned by authorities. Maritime Police Chief Pedro Coelho Dias confirmed: "The victims are a man and an eight-year-old girl. They were hit by the plane and died at the scene."

Bystanders Key to Cutting Cardiac Arrest Deaths
TUESDAY, March 12, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting is a leading cause of disease-related health loss in the United States, a new study says.
But bystander use of CPR and automated external defibrillators reduces the risk of death and disability.
"Cardiac arrest is unique because survival is dependent on the timely response of bystanders, medical dispatch, EMS personnel, physicians and hospital staff," said lead author Dr. Ryan Coute, a resident in emergency medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Coute said people need to know that "cardiac arrest" and "heart attack" are not the same.
Cardiac arrest, an abrupt loss of the heart's ability to pump, leads to death within minutes if not treated. A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked.
Researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 cardiac arrest cases that occurred outside a hospital setting in 2016. Their aim was to find out the years of life lost prematurely along with years lived with disability due to a disease.
That's a rate known as disability-adjusted life years, or DALY.
In 2016, the DALY for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest stood at 1,347 per 100,000 people. That made it the nation's third-leading cause of health loss due to disease, behind ischemic heart disease (2,447) and low back and neck pain (1,565).
People who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest lost an average of 20.1 healthy years. Nationwide, this translated to 4.3 million healthy life years lost in the United States.
Women had higher DALY rates than men. Hispanics had higher rates than whites, who had higher rates than blacks, the study found.
Researchers also looked at how bystanders' use of CPR and automated external defibrillators (AED) factored in.
They found that survival to hospital discharge was higher for cardiac arrest patients who received bystander CPR than for those who did not (21.5 percent vs. 12.9 percent).
The study was published March 12 in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
The impact of cardiac arrest on years lost to premature death and disability was previously unknown.
"Our results show that bystander interventions reduce death and disability, underscoring the importance of bystander CPR and AED education, as well as national cardiac arrest surveillance," Coute said in a journal news release.
"Our results may also help inform funding agencies and policy makers regarding how to best utilize limited resources to improve public health," he added.
The American Heart Association has more on cardiac arrest.

Although I have spent all my summers in Mykonos since I was six, I love Chania, especially in the winter. The scenery of Chania in the winter is breathtaking. I love sitting in the Port of Chania where one can enjoy amazing food looking at the sea with snowy mountaintops in the background.
In 2006, I met my husband on another trip to Thessaloniki during the film festival. Having already spent the New Year in Chania, specifically in the Milia Mountain Retreat, I suggested we spend it there together. Milia is an authentic 17th century mountain settlement which has been transformed into an eco-friendly tourist complex. The philosophy of "back to basics" has found true meaning here in its simplicity, harmony, clean air, warm hospitality, relaxed atmosphere and home-cooking. Milia is open all year round. Within 9 months we were married.
The limpid, blue-green waters will remind you of an exotic paradise.
During this trip we spent the first day of the year in Elafonissi, a tiny island with white sand, separated from the shore by a lagoon no more than a metre deep. The island is less than 200 metres from the beach and you can easily walk there through the warm, shallow water of the lagoon. On reaching the island you will discover lots of tiny beaches on its south coast. White though the sand may be, in many places it has a pinkish hue due to the thousands of broken seashells it contains. The limpid, blue-green waters will remind you of an exotic paradise. Imagine all this in January without a soul in sight.
I love most Cretan dishes. Amazing snails; great locally grown vegetables like " askolibroι" and "stamnagathi;" fresh sea urchins, which they serve cleaned in a deep plate with olive oil and lemon; "staka, a thick cream served with grilled game; wonderful pilafi, the cretan version of rissoto. I really cannot choose any one dish from Crete because I love them all.
In Chania one can find amazing ceramics, bowls made out of olivetree wood and also the best knives. There is a whole area in the Old Port called "machairadika," which comes from "machairi" the Greek word for knife.
I would love to go to the Prespa Lakes region, a place where nature, art and history come together in and around the lakes. Prespa is a transboundary park of great significance due to its biodiversity and endemic species.The mountains are one of the last European homes of brown bears, wolves, chamois and wild boar whilst the lake host breeding colonies of Dalmatian and White Pelicans as well as pygmy cormorants.
Addicted foodie and serial cook, who loves to dance, practices yoga, enjoys living in the center of Athens spending time outdoors with family and two kids.
