The 8th Annual McKinley Williams-John Easterling Community Chess Tournament took place at the Richmond Recreation Complex on Saturday.
What can make a 6-year-old and a 78-year-old spend their day together at the Richmond Recreation Complex? The answer is chess.
In what may be the city's most age-diverse competition, 44 players spanning from ages 6 to 78 years old participated in the 8th Annual McKinley Williams-John Easterling Community Chess Tournament in Richmond on Saturday.
The field was diverse in skills, with rated, unrated and casual players in an annual Quad format event held at the Richmond Recreation Complex. Among them were three U.S. Chess Federation players with ratings that are near Master level, said TC Ball of the West Coast Chess Alliance, which partnered with the Richmond Community Services Department to hold the event.
"This was a very strong field of players," Ball said.
Several players from the Richmond Senior Center on Macdonald Avenue competed, as well as from Kennedy High School's chess team.
The tournament recognizes the contributions of Dr. McKinley Williams and the late John Easterling's efforts to promote chess in the City of Richmond. The initial tournament was started by James "Jim" Goins, former Finance Director/Treasure of the City of Richmond, according to Ball. To honor retiring Contra Costa President Dr. Williams, during the planning meetings for the tournament it was decided to include Mr. Easterling. Mr. Goins played in the first tournament eight years ago.
The next year, Jerry Anderson and Troy Porter approached the West Coast Chess Alliance about continuing the tournament. And it is this tournament that has led to the partnership between the chess group and the city that has led to community chess events throughout the year.
"I want to thank Tetteh Kisseh and the staff at the Richmond Recreation Complex for their excellent support in making our 8th annual tournament a success," Ball said.

Commentary > India: Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan
India: Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan
The centrist political platform held by Congress has become largely irrelevant.
Subir Bhaumik | Jan 01, 1998
The world's largest democracy, whatever may be its quality, is up for elections again. The fallout of the Jain Commission report brought down the government of I.K. Gujral, Parliament has been dissolved, and the battle lines drawn. In February's elections, the "stability card" will emerge as the make-or-break issue. Millions of Indians, who see economic growth and industrial development as more important than identifying the killers of Rajiv Gandhi (since it is already well known that the LTTE was responsible), are keen to elect a government that will last. The Hindu revivalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which was the single largest party in the last Parliament, thinks it can hijack the stability card from the Congress.
The BJP leaders have cause for optimism, for the post-Rajiv Gandhi Congress resembles the Mughal Empire in decline. However, Prime Minister-in-Waiting Atal Behari Vajpayee would be mistaken if he believes that the BJP can emerge as a monolithic party like the Congress of the Nehruvian era. For the BJP's conservative plank can never occupy the centrist political space in Indian politics that the Congress has held on to for fifty years.
Look at what the Congress was able to do: In Mizoram, northeast India, predominantly Christian, the Congress promised a "good Christian government" to upstage former rebel chief Laldenga in 1988. In other states, it appeased extreme as well as moderate Hindu and Muslim opinion to forge unbeatable electoral partnerships. In the Northeast and the South, it forged alliances with regional parties to win elections and form governments.
The BJP has a far too-well-defined a political agenda to be able to make friends and win allies with the ease of the Congress. It may engineer defections like it did recently in Uttar Pradesh, but that cannot be overdone by a party which claims the moral high ground. So for all practical purposes, the BJP itself will remain a "cow belt" phenomenon of the Hindi heartland. If the BJP wants to win more than two hundred seats, it will have to forge alliances with the regional parties. Not without reason did Atalji congratulate former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda for "bringing regional parties into the Delhi power structure, so that we were all able to interact and understand them". This, even while other BJP MPs were lambasting Deve Gowda for a hundred failures, real or perceived.
The early-December massacre of three score Dalit children, women and men in Jehanabad, Bihar, served only to tragically emphasise the power of caste in "Hindi India". This caste divide alone will prevent a cakewalk for the BJP with its slogan of "Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan". When as Prime Minister, Raja V.P. Singh, opened a pandora's box with the promise to implement the Mandal Commission report, the power tasted by the "intermediate castes" in successive state governments in Lucknow and Patna has by now ensured that parties like the Janata Dal and the Samajwadi Party will not fall before the sweep of a BJP steamroller.
If the BJP fails to sweep the polls in North and Western India, it can expect even less from the south and east. In these two areas, and even in Maharashtra to the west, the BJP's only hope is to build a network of alliances. In east, south and northeast of India, the regional parties have come to stay.
Whatever their track record on governance, like the backward-caste parties of the north, these regional parties have built strong platforms by catering to the distinctive identity of the people. And in West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala, the communists remain well entrenched.
And so, in all likelihood, India's forthcoming elections will deliver the complete marginalisation of the Congress, its centrist political platform having become largely irrelevant. Societal polarisation will instead pit the BJP, with all its monolithic aspirations, against the regional parties, the backward parties, and the Left. Sentimentalism alone will probably not work, which is why fielding Sonia Gandhi may not be such a good idea for the Congress.
February's elections will thus bring to centrestage the battle between India's so-called mainstream, symbolised this time by the BJP, and the "other India", represented by the backwards, the regional parties, and the Left, which aspires to lead them.
This marginalisation of the Congress will probably not be all too palatable to the "mobile Indian middle classes", who have after all been the greatest beneficiaries of the modern Indian state. These are people who have lost their regional roots through the centralising process of the post-colonial governance. But, since for them, India is mahaan (great) if it delivers enough in consumerist items, today, these middle classes would want a decisive BJP victory.
But India's other segments are perhaps not yet ready to give a complete mandate to politicised Hinduism. The BJP has grown fast, but not fast enough to totally substitute the Congress. And the power of the smaller parties cannot be underestimated either. Political pluralism, thankfully, may still have a place in post-Gujral India.

#blueSkyforSkye
We're a pretty close family here at Urban Adventures. When one of our partners around the world has a big life event — whether that's something as wonderful as a wedding or birth, or as sad as a loss — we all reach out, to say congratulations or to send our sympathies.
One of the most recent events that has brought us together is the story of a little girl named Skye. But unfortunately, it's not a tale for celebration.
Skye has Sanfilippo Syndrome. As the Sanfilippo Children's Foundation explains, the disease "is a rare genetic condition that causes fatal brain damage. It is referred to as a childhood disease because most patients never reach adulthood…. Over time, brain cells fill up with waste that the body is unable to process. As the brain gets progressively damaged, children experience hyperactivity, sleeplessness, loss of speech and cognitive skills, mental retardation, cardiac issues, seizures, loss of mobility, dementia and finally death, usually before adulthood."
Our connection to Skye runs deep. Her father, Mark Robson, is the former general manager of Urban Adventures. Although he's since left to pursue other passions, the fact is that without his efforts and integrity, Urban Adventures just wouldn't exist today. Mark left the travel industry to become a school teacher, helping to shape tomorrow's generation. Our current general manager, Tony Carne, praises Mark as his mentor, and we're sure Mark is now a mentor to many.
February 28 is Rare Disease Day, and Urban Adventures is dedicating this day (and the entire month of February) to raising awareness and funds for the Sanfilippo Children's Foundation. We're asking our friends around the world to share their views of blue skies, to send a message of hope for Skye and other children like her. Use the hashtags #blueSkyforSkye and #HopeforSkye to spread the word.
[Tweet "Find out how you can help children with Sanfilippo Syndrome. #blueSkyforSkye #hopeforSkye"]
We raised over $2,000 for the Sanfilippo Children's Foundation thanks to your donations and proceeds from tours in 14 cities on Rare Disease Day.
Mark and his family don't want our sympathy. They want a cure for their daughter and others affected by the disease. This month, and especially on February 28, share your blue skies and a message of hope by tagging #blueSkyforSkye and #HopeforSkye. You can also like the HOPE for Skye Facebook page.
If you'd like to donate directly to the foundation, please visit sanfilippo.org.au/donations.

Intimate weddings have an extra certain awesomeness that comes along with them and I stand behind my year long crush on the raise of them. Today's wedding is a special treat from Chicago based photographer Spark + Tumble Photography that will make any metropolitan loving bride coo. Set in the Chicago's West Loop, Catelyn Bergstedt & John Smith tied the knot in an elegant minimalist wedding at the modern Sepia restaurant. The couple kept the day simple, joining guests for cocktails & nibbles at the Sepia's stunning dark wood bar shortly after the ceremony, opting to focus on those around them. I love how Catelyn embraced the essence of an easy breezy bride, all the while begin so wonderfully chic in a lovely empire waist flowing wedding gown with a red lip pop. Each wedding celebration is special and unique and intimate weddings almost seem to carry a more personal & true stamp of the couple themselves, in Catelyn & John's case, classically modern with a focus on loved ones!


It was some good calls by the team in terms of strategy in the first stop and then obviously in the second stop when Jenson pits, we have to react. Up to that point I knew it was a long race, 27 laps to the end with Jenson putting on a lot of pressure. The car was feeling good, feeling good on traction and top speed, so it was enough to keep the lead into Turn Six.
Lewis Hamilton must also have really felt the pressure because it was his 100th grand prix race, he had won the race last year and in 2008, and to top that, team mate Button had a podium finish!
Poor Lewis, he really isn't having the best of seasons! Lets hope some big changes can happen for him this week ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix next weekend! Best of luck Lewis from me and TeamSport!

Action League Now!: The Series "Monster Mashed" (lost episode of "Kablam!" spinoff animated series; 2002)
The show's title card.
Status: Lost
"Monster Mashed" is presumed to be the eighth episode of Action League Now!: The Series, the spin-off series of Action League Now! from KaBlam!, which lasted from 2001 to 2002.
Though the exact list of shorts is unknown, two said to be in the episode by TV guide listings from companies, such as Time Warner Cable, gives the following description:
A vengeful mummy attacks the squad; the neighborhood dog swallows Stinky Diver.
Unfortunately, the description it gives is for the episode "Stinky Diver: Behind The Mask". However, the use of the title itself may be proof that the episode does exist.
For a period of time in the late 2000s, Action League Now!: The Series returned to Nicktoons Network in reruns, however, "Monster Mashed" was skipped over for an unknown reason, and, despite the guide saying "Monster Mashed" was due to air and giving a description, it would usually play "His Dishonor" instead.
Shorts believed to have been in this one are: "Melty Dearest", "Where Pigeons Dare", "The Wrath Of Spotzilla: Part 1" and "The Wrath Of Spotzilla: Part 2".

Mick played his first senior games in 2006/07, after a couple of years in juniors.
Captain of the Under 16 White team in his final junior year of 2007/08, Mick always led from the front as opening bat and won the Sean Sturrock Award for his batting average.
A more-than-handy opening bat in the Fifths, Mick regularly helped the team put on a good start. A patient and thoughtful batsman, he is always prepared to wait for the right ball to punish.


Austin is inundated with food trailers these days, and it's glorious. With so many to choose from, deciding on a trailer was a big decision. Luckily, with the help of my dear friend and mentor, Tony Bourdain, who doesn't yet know he's my good friend and mentor but has already visited Austin, I chose Odd Duck Trailer, which boasts "farm to trailer" fare from a wood-fire grill. Bourdain had briefly mentioned the slow-roasted coffee-rubbed pork-belly sliders served there. He had me at slow-roasted.
Odd Duck is flanked by two other trailers, the coffee trailer Brevitas, and the donut trailer GourDoughs. Like a mini food court, all three trailer eateries share a common seating area so anyone can have a pork slider followed by an indulgent donut washed down by a complicated coffee drink.
Because Odd Duck has a "seasonally daily changing menu," the pork-belly slider I had was not the same as the one filmed for Bourdain's show. Mine came with a mustard aioli and sauerkraut. The buttered buns were toasted on the wood grill as were the slices of belly. I'm not sure if it was the slow roasting or the fatty cut of pork, but everything just melted together as I bit into the tiny burger. The slider's deliciousness made up for the fact that I had to wait 45 minutes for a third of a sandwich. It also helped that I was surrounded by friendly folks willing to chat with a hungry grump.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Ronald Reagan Preview (Season 23)
In 1988, after two terms in office, Ronald Reagan left the White House one of the most popular presidents of the twentieth century — and one of the most controversial. A failed actor, Reagan became a passionate ideologue who preached a simple gospel of lower taxes, less government, and anti-communism. One by one, his opponents underestimated him; one by one, Reagan surprised them, rising to become a president who always preferred to see America as a "shining city on a hill."

I remember the first time my heart broke and I felt I might never breathe again. In my ignorance of failed relationships I had loved with an earnest intensity, pouring my feelings into somebody I hoped would cherish them forever. No poetry or cautionary tale can prepare a teenage heart for the agony of its first fracture.
For days I wandered through life a listless shell, fluctuating between hopelessness and searing anger. Never has the word 'yearning' been more appropriate than when referring to a young heart's lost love. I yearned, and I hated it. I hated him for ruining my life. I hated my own capacity for such feelings. Most of all, I hated the injustice of it all. I hated the imbalance produced by such an experience: the indignity of an uneven break. One party burdened with more agony than they can muster whilst the other walks away unscathed.
Though I decried love, no sooner than I had patched myself up I fell again and again with the same intensity. I fell in reciprocal love after trips to the cinema and tentative kisses. I became wedded to my Nokia, grinning foolishly at attempts at romance crafted into 160 characters. I had dinner with parents, feeling older than my years as I stumbled through polite small talk. Mostly though, I fell in unrequited love.
The popular boy in my class who had never once looked my way – a terrible choice on paper but who was, I assumed, inexplicably charming. The cashier at the bookshop, with the sweeping fringe. The boy whose eye caught mine across the throng of a mosh pit, who held my hand for two sweaty hours then disappeared somewhere by the merch stand.
Spurred on by sudden and powerful emotion, my imagination ran wild. In it, I lived out temporary fantasy lives with the objects of my affections. Some lasted for mere hours whilst others were novellas of love, meandering through week after week gathering nuance. Over dinner, I would imagine a hand laced with mine under the table. I envisaged introducing him ("my boyfriend", I would beam) to my parents and friends, always to rapturous acceptance. As I lay in bed on those nights when everything seemed dark, my imagined romances kept me company.
My love was equal parts compulsion and comfort. I relished the thrill of emotion as it stretched itself to capacity inside me, spilling over to brighten my eyes and colour my cheeks. I could hardly comprehend that anything else could be more worthy of my attention. I allowed love to blind me, proffering my hand to its guidance.
I also felt an unerring love for my friends: a platonic love, but one with no lesser intensity or commitment. My best friend and I kept a shared diary that we would each take home for two days at a time, then exchange furtively under a desk before classes began. Both the diary's contents and its existence were top secret, and guarding such a secret only brought us closer together.
It was a vessel for the myriad feelings a teenager can experience in a day; our heartbreaks and triumphs nestled on the same page as gripes about coursework or scratching our favourite CD. Each night we wrote until our hands cramped in an effort to get it all down on a page. I was intensely private, but sharing a diary with my best friend never once left me feeling exposed. I loved her so much that I wanted her to know my every thought, as though my experiences weren't whole until they belonged to us both.
When we turned sixteen, our paths diverged. She decided to leave school to attend the college in our town. Seeing one another was no longer a daily occurrence we took for granted. Any updates between classes were delivered not by her singsong voice but via a hasty text message, if at all. It was the end of an era and I was bereft.
My immature brain felt in this an acute rejection. At sixteen, I was so wrapped up in my own self I couldn't appreciate the valid reasons for which she had moved on. I saw only myself, and how her leaving had hurt me. I rolled my eyes as she talked about her new boyfriend and sat tight-lipped through tales of her new friends. After an evening of being aloof with the one person I loved most in the world, I would go home and mope. Within yet another fantasy life I had imagined our paths forever intertwined, but now she had ruined it.
I am no longer in my teens, yet I still love deeply and with a fervent intensity – I hope that never changes. I might have become more discerning with my whole heart, but I still fall in fickle lust with almost-strangers without quite understanding why. Having decided that her moving on was not cause to sabotage our connection, my best friend is still the platonic love of my life. I hope that, too, remains the same.
I had wanted to end by drawing a contrast but then, driving home the other night after some small upset, I realised there is no big distinction between then and now. I am equipped with greater level-headedness, yes, but beneath I am the same. I am still unerringly teenage in my pain.
The worst of my discomfort, disappointment, disgust belong to the girl I was a decade ago. They are a shot of emotion strong enough to challenge anything that has ever taught me to be palatable. Rationally, I understand that my experiences are not unique or incomparable; however, when I am hurting I still cannot grasp how anybody could feel the intricacies of pain in quite the same way. Logic can tell me otherwise, but in that moment I am the sole proprietor of every negative feeling there ever was.
In pain we are irrational teenagers, all open wounds and pouty lips. We are the centre of the universe for as long as our emotional insult endures, if only in our own heads. We still want to scream and run and sob until we're boneless. Often, the only difference between our younger and present selves is a modicum of self-control and a dash more empathy.
My emotions are ever-present but more reserved; like children at the dinner table, they have learned to behave in public as long as they sit under a watchful eye. I try to observe as they come and go, acknowledging their impermanence rather than becoming enmeshed in their stories. I have to check myself when I find that I am dwelling on an illogical rejection, or imagining a slight.
These things don't happen with a gracious ease. I still raise my voice when I shouldn't. My default reaction to the mere hint of confrontation is to leap clumsily to my own defense or to shut down entirely. More than once this year I have driven with tears blurring the road in front of me, sobbing in my car like some cliché romcom protagonist.
To be human is a messy affair. Love is not the neat, linear path we may have been taught to believe in. It is an overgrown hedge maze with thorns and dead ends, prone to leaving us lost and frustrated. Pain can be transformative, but it can also bring out the worst of us. My least agreeable self is she who reacts to any sort of pain, be it heartbreak, horror, or humiliation. Perhaps I thought I would outgrow this side of my humanity; that with age my emotions would become less chaotic and more easily quelled. Perhaps to some extent I was right – but I still remember the strength of my teenage feelings, because sometimes, I feel them just the same.

The first full trailer for Season 3 of "Stranger Things" is finally here — and it will have you wishing it was already July.
Netflix dropped a nearly three-minute trailer for the upcoming season that's full of so many pop-culture references to 1985 it'll have you feeling totally nostalgic if you're an '80s baby. The next season premieres July 4.
The new season takes place partly over July 4, 1985. But for sure it won't be an average Independence Day for the show's young stars, who must grapple with supernatural forces and otherworldly monsters — not to mention the challenges of puberty — in their fictional hometown of Hawkins, Indiana.
But the danger, as usual, isn't far away.
"Stranger Things" premiered in 2016 and has become one of Netflix's most acclaimed series. Inspired partly by such '80s hits as "E.T." and "The Goonies," it centers around the lives of four adolescent boys and their friends in Hawkins. A good portion of the show follows their adventures in another realm called the Upside Down.

How to Clean the Wii Lens
By Mary Freeman
Official Nintendo Wii Lens Cleaner
i Shane Stillings/Demand Media
The Nintendo WIi is a seventh-generation home video game console released worldwide in 2006. Since release, the system has achieved mainstream success thanks to its unique motion-sensitive controller and library of games. The exposed disc slot of the system, however, has a tendency to collect dust that can build over time and render some discs unreadable. Nintendo offers a Wii Lens Cleaning kit to restore the inside of the system to like-new condition.
Purchase the Wii Lens Cleaner directly from Nintendo. This can be done online at nintendo.com. Contact their support if you are experiencing disc read errors, as you may be eligible for a free Lens Cleaner.
Plug the Wii console into an outlet and eject any game that might be in the system.
Release no more than three drops of the liquid onto the cleaning pad. Too much cleaning fluid could be harmful to the system's internal components.
Place the lens cleaner into the Wii's disc slot. Make sure that the system is powered on and that the blue lines on the cleaner are vertical. The Lens Cleaner should be inserted with the top facing the right side of the system when vertical, and the top when the system is laid horizontally.
Move the Lens Cleaner gently up and down in vertically-oriented systems and left to right in horizontally-oriented systems. Move it 3/4 of an inch between 10 and twenty times.
Press "Eject" to remove the Lens Cleaner. You should not need to use any force to remove it.
Dirty lenses have a particularly tough time reading dual-layer games, such as "Super Smash Bros. Brawl."

Japanese VR Porn Show Closed Down Due To Overcrowding
Content, Latest News, Video Downloads
It appears that Japan is joining Australia and jumping on the new demand for VR porn.
At the weekend the Countries first virtual reality porn expo had been cancelled due to overcrowding.
Yesterday we revealed that Helsinki, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane were among the top Cities in the world when it came to demand for VR porn.
According to Google Trends demand for 'VR porn' has increased by 9,900 per cent over the past 17 months.
The Japanese Adult VR Fest 01 was taking place in the Akihabara district of Tokyo and was set to show off the latest developments in sexy hardware accentuated by VR handsets.
Apparently, hundreds made it inside before the festival before police shut down due to security concerns over overcrowding.
One observer said "The event didn't start until 2pm, so I went there in high spirits an hour before then, but the city was already overflowing with people," according to a translation (via Inquirer) of a reporter's account.
"There were so many that it was almost impossible to keep the situation under control."
The reporter who did make it inside managed to witness various sexual aids that can be paid with VR porn films from a headset.

Q: NHibernate-friendly database design for dynamically recreated tables I have an application design question for the nhibernate gurus our there.  My application tracks a list of documents submitted and displays data parsed from those documents to the public as a searchable transaction list.
The people/entities submitting these documents may (at any time) replace a previous version of a document with an updated version.  Only transactions from the most recent version of each document should be displayed in the searchable transaction list.
The front end of this application uses NHibernate for data access to perform the display and search of the transactions.
My initial idea is to put a trigger on my table of documents that will drop and recreate the table of transactions after any insert, update, or delete of the documents table using a stored proc.
There seem to be two shortcomings with this idea:
1) Since the stored proc will take maybe a minute to run to regenerate the transaction list, there will be a period of time where the transaction list table will be incomplete or not even exist.
2) The data that NHibernate will be reading will become invalid after a transaction table rebuild, and any cached information will be invalid.
A few alternatives that I have contemplated are:
1) using Views as the 'tables' NHibernate uses to read from the database, and update those views to point to the new data tables after a successful rebuild is complete.  This doesn't resolve the possible caching problem, though.
2) do the transaction table rebuild through the NHibernate session, though I can't figure out how the mechanics of this would work.  NHibernate would need to know about the 'live' set of transactions as well as the 'pending' set of transactions, and the pending set of transactions would need to be mapped to some dynamically named table(s).
Maybe I'm just architecting myself into a pretzel.
Anyone have any ideas what the NHibernate best practices for this sort of problem would be?

A: I recommend to use Lucene.net for indexing and searching that documents. And you don't need in a trigger and any SP - Lucene will update all indexes automatically.
And here are some tutorials about lucene:

Q: Using PHP and Javascript to animate Download button My PHP based web app has an "export" button that works. This is what it looks like. What I want to do is, once the data is exported then change that icon to a green checkbox. My PHP code on notes.php looks like:
if(isset($_POST['export_notes_to_excel'])){
  $sql_for_export = explode("ORDER", $_SESSION['sql']);
  $sql_for_export = $sql_for_export[0];
  $filename = "Notes Exported On - " .date('Y-m-d');
  $column_names = array("[Id]" => "ID", "[DateAdded]"=>"Date Added", "[Entry]"=>"Enty", "[AddedBy_Id]"=>"Officer ID");
  export_sql_to_excel($sql_for_export, $filename,$column_names);
}

This code works fine and I was trying to use JS here but the problem is PHP does not render my JS if I do something like:
echo "<script>console.log('test');</script>";

after the export_sql_to_excel() function call. I wanted to do 2 things actually. First, change that download icon to a loading icon when the file is being prepared by PHP and then a checkbox icon once the file is downloaded. Any help would be appreciated. Can this even be done with PHP being the server side code?
Thank you.

Be matched with a creative person based in another region!
Graphic design by Swedish designer Hanna Simu.
Do you need external expertise, new inspiration and someone to discuss creative solutions with? Or are you curious about how it is to run a creative business like yours in another country?
Right now creative people in Mid-Sweden, West of Ireland, Northern Finland and South East of Northern Ireland have the opportunity to participate in our Creative2Creative Matching Programme and be paired with someone in another region.
Ciarán MacLochlainn at Diaga design studio has already started the programme, they wished to be matched with a Swedish designer with special interest in typography. 'I suppose the reason we agreed to participate was because we we're looking for a fresh perspective on design from somebody with a different background and from a design culture we respect, to update our own design operating system', Ciarán tells with a smile.
'Nordic design in general, and Swedish in particular, has always been inspirational, from minimalism to their own national font. We feel it would be interesting to see the views from somebody that comes from a place where design has a higher prestige, both in the psyche of people, the policies of government and in general society. That's something we would love to increase here in Ireland and explore how advantageous that is, or not, as the case may be', Ciarán continues.
Packaging design by Hanna Simu.
Diaga has been matched with the Swedish designer and illustrator Hanna Simu who is excited about the progress. At the moment, she is studying graphic design and communication at Mid Sweden University and at the same time she is running her own creative business.
Hanna is doing her sixth and last semester at the university right now and is working with her final task. Together with her classmates and other design classes she will exhibit her final work at a design week in Västernorrland in May. 'It's a lot going on right now but I really want to get as much out of it as possible and learn as much as I can the last term. It's nice to bounce ideas with someone and get external input. I really appreciate this kind of opportunities that focus on other regions than Stockholm', she says.

Author: Trisha Lee

Author: Barry Lopez
Publisher: Trinity University Press
Category : Fiction
The six stories in Outside show Barry Lopez's majestic talent as a fiction writer. Lopez writes in spare prose, but his narratives resonate with an uncanny power. With a reverence for our exterior and interior landscapes, these stories offer profound insight into the relationships between humans and animals, creativity and beauty, and ultimately, life and death. In "Desert Notes," the narrator says, "All my life I have wanted to trick blood from a rock." The story proceeds to instruct the visitor on how to experience the desert but continues like no ordinary field guide. At stake here is what is at the furthest edge of our grasp. "You will think you have hold of the idea when you have only the hold of its clothing." Rattlesnakes, the shell of a beetle, a few twigs, silence--out of these spare elements Lopez conjures a realm that shimmers with an elusive but palpable presence. "The Search for the Heron" and "Within Birds' Hearing" present encounters with animals that are imbued with spiritual--and often inexplicable--exchanges. In solitary, almost visionary episodes, the narrators pass into permeable realms of nature, recalling a time when humans and animals spoke the same language. Lopez's gift is to imagine a reality where humans can be so embedded in the natural world that the boundaries between inner and outer fall away. Again and again, whether describing a Navajo rug possessing the essence of its maker, or a boy who can change places with his half-coyote dog (named Leaves), or a teacher whose presence brings into question the meaning of friendship, Lopez portrays elemental and sacred places. His prose transcends its simplicity to enter spaces of wonder and mystery. As James Perrin Warren says in his compelling introduction, "Lopez's narrators bear witness to extraordinary patterns and purposes . . . The storyteller is vital to the community and to a healthy landscape, but the vital relationship is also reciprocal. . . . We participate, along with Lopez, in the long history of storytelling. We become part of the atmosphere in which wisdom shows itself." Barry Moser's eleven otherworldly, densely layered engravings accompany the text. Each provides a meditative experience that parallels Lopez's complex sense of our relationship to nature. An afterword by Lopze closes this dramatically original collaboration. Outside brings together Barry Lopez, best known for his National Book Award–winning Arctic Dreams; Barry Moser, the publisher of Pennyroyal Press, whose reputation as a book artist, printmaker, designer, and artist is legendary; and the widely published James Perrin Warren, a professor of English at Washington and Lee University, to offer an abundance of riches for readers and lovers of fine books.
The Storyteller Trilogy
Author: Sue Harrison
Publisher: Open Road Media
Pages : 1378
The complete saga of prehistoric Aleut tribal life in one volume: "Under Harrison's hand, ancient Alaska comes beautifully alive" (The Denver Post). In Song of the River, eighty centuries ago, in the frozen land that is now Alaska, a clubfooted male child had been left to die, when a woman named K'os rescued him. Twenty years later and no longer a child, Chakliux occupies the revered role as his tribe's storyteller. In the neighboring village of the Near River people, where Chakliux will attempt to make peace by wedding the shaman's daughter, a double murder occurs that sends him on a harsh, enthralling journey in search of the truth about the tragic losses his people have suffered, and into the arms of a woman he was never meant to love. In Cry of the Wind, Chakliux has one weakness: the beautiful Aqamdax, who has been promised to a cruel tribesman she does not love. But there can be no future for Chakliux and Aqamdax until a curse upon their peoples has been lifted. As they travel a dangerous path, they encounter greater challenges than the harsh terrain and the long season of ice. K'os, the woman who saved Chakliux's life when he was an infant, is now enslaved by the leader of the enemy tribe against whom she has sworn vengeance. To carry out her justice she will destroy anyone who gets in her way, even the storyteller she raised as her own son. And in Call Down the Stars, a handsome young tribal warrior and sage, Yikaas has traveled across the sea to hear stories of the Whale Hunter and the Sea Hunter peoples. Around the fire, Qumalix, a beguiling and beautiful storyteller, barely old enough to be a wife, catches the eye of Yikaas, and so begins their flirtation through storytelling, which brings to vivid life tales of the Near River and Cousin River tribes. The fates of lovers Chakliux and Aqamdax, and their wicked nemesis K'os, are revealed as Yikaas and Qumalix weave together tales from their ancestors' past—and tales from their own lives.

Category : Poetry
Storyteller is the third collection of stories written in verse by David Hamilton. Each story is told by a historical figure to convey allegory, symbolism and metaphor, with the author as the overarching narrator. The book takes readers on a journey through imaginative worlds where the reader witnesses experiences and meets people they would meet in their own lives. "Listeners live this as a communal story, a shared history that makes us part of it. Isolation is filled in, emotions link the community. Would our communal lives Make an interesting play?" David's unique collection aligns contemporary content with traditional poetic forms, linking the two together to provide a social commentary on the modern world. Such technique can be witness in 'The Lotus Eaters', a story that first appeared in Homer's Odyssey. Circe's transformation of men into swine is here presented as escapism through drugs. David has also updated other traditional stories such as Reynard the Fox to tell the story from the fox's point of view, and Chaucer's The Hall of Fame. The collection concludes with a sequence of seven Pastorals, featuring myths and deities from classical times telling practical stories of husbandry. David's latest collection of poetry is wordly and not academic, and presents readers with a unique combination of traditional forms and contemporary content. The book will appeal to fans of poetry, as well as readers that have enjoyed David's previous works, King Alfred's Jewel (Matador, 2014) and Concept Poems (Matador, 2016). David has contributed essays to the New English Review and Storyteller is advertised in the Literary Review.

The Storytellers' Journey
Author: Joseph Daniel Sobol
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
This is the seed of The Storytellers' Journey, Joseph Daniel Sobol's history of the past thirty years of American storytelling. In this compelling examination of the contemporary search for myth, Sobol explores the social and psychological roots of the storytelling revival and the ever-resurgent power of the storyteller. Drawing on interviews with dozens of storytellers around the country, Sobol paints the revival as part of a larger process of cultural revitalization. He traces the growth of the preeminent revival organization, the National Association for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling (NAPPS), and details the individual passions, the organizational politics, and the economic, social, and mythic forces that have combined to transform a ragtag assemblage of enthusiasts into a national and international network of arts professionals. A seemingly chance encounter between a restlessly ambitious high school teacher and a coonhunting tale on the car radio sets off a chain of inspirations that changes the face of a small southern town, touches lives across America, and revitalizes a homely but treasured art form.
Crossroads: Performance Studies and Irish Culture
Author: Sara Brady
Publisher: Springer
Category : Performing Arts
The highly performative categories of 'Irish culture' and 'Irishness' are in need of critical address, prompted by recent changes in Irish society, the arts industry and modes of critical inquiry. This book broaches this task by considering Irish expressive culture through some of the paradigms and vocabularies offered by performance studies.
A Fish in the Moonlight
Author: Sidney Homan
Publisher: Purdue University Press
Category : Biography & Autobiography
The storyteller has a fascinating place in our world. Storyteller Sidney Homan tells tales of growing up in Philadelphia in the 1940s and 50sa€""accounts of Bruzzy the Bully; of John Crapp, the television salesman; of Leslie Doober and his rotten banana; of drunken Uncle Eddie, and of the Queen of the mushrooms. Sometimes comic, sometimes bittersweet, A Fish in the Moonlight illuminates the growth of both storyteller and listener.
The Storyteller's Son
Author: Wesley Allan Dueck
Publisher: FriesenPress
A storyteller, upon realizing his life is short, begins to prepare his seven-year-old son Wesley for a dark, fatherless future. Using Bible stories, he tries to convince his son to be a lifetime follower of the God who loves him and longs to be his earthly father's replacement. But when his father passes away, Wesley is filled with bitterness. Like the old tree behind his family home, he is pelted by the storms of life and can only brace himself against the wind. As Wesley embarks on a journey away from the God he believes is responsible for his dad's death, he turns to petty crime and a path marked by bad choices until ultimately a collision course with a "God Encounter" changes his world. In his memoir, The Storyteller's Son, Wesley Allan Dueck becomes a storyteller himself by skillfully recounting his stories of his journey's twisted path – first away from and then towards – his God and religion. Sometimes truth makes a better story than fiction, so buckle up, grab a box of tissues, and prepare for a roller-coaster ride that ends in salvation.

Chatoyant College, Chatoyant College Book 12: Reemergence
Chatoyant College Book 12: Chapter 31: Pass It On
January 12, 2017 January 16, 2017 claredragonfly
When Dawn and her friends reached the magic professors' hallway, it was immediately obvious which of the professors was keeping watch on campus tonight—Professor Strega.
Dawn sighed a little, but she knew it could have been worse. She wasn't sure how much she trusted Professor Lal anymore, and Professor Rook was really difficult to talk to. It didn't help that he appeared, to her Sighted eyes, as literally a giant crow.
Then again, Corrie had a class with Professor Rook this semester; maybe she would have no problem talking to him, though she hadn't really said much about him except that his class was demanding. And Dawn only trusted Professor Strega a little more than Professor Lal.
In fact, she wasn't sure how Professor Strega might feel about them coming to her with information that only pertained to the future of the campus. Since she was leaving—thanks in part to painstaking research by Edie—she might not care.
But they had to tell someone, and she was the one who was around.
Corrie took the lead and walked up to the one door that had light spilling from under it. She knocked, and after a few moments, the door opened. Professor Strega was behind it.
She looked at them with an inscrutable (to Dawn) expression, then stepped back, pulling the door open with her. "I thought you might be Roe, or bring Roe."
"That's right," Dawn said, frowning and looking around at the empty hall and office. "It's Friday night. Doesn't she have lessons with you?"
"They are no longer regular," Professor Strega said. She sat in her desk chair, leaving just enough room for the three of them to stand in her small office. "She is growing quite skilled with her visions. Difficult they may be to interpret, but she has some control, and no longer are they so frightening to her."
Dawn nodded. That was true—she hadn't heard Roe scream for months. There had been times at the beginning of the fall semester when everyone on their hall in Gilkey had been awakened by Roe screaming in her sleep after a particularly scary vision, and she was glad that was over.
"Well, it's a good thing she's improving," Corrie said, clearly thinking that it would have been unfair of Professor Strega to abandon Roe if she'd still needed work on her visions.
"Yes," Professor Strega said. "Why do you come here?"
"We needed to talk to a magic professor," Corrie said. "We ran in to Elrath a little while ago."
Professor Strega's tongue flicked out. "He has right to be on campus."
"Yes, of course," Corrie said. "It's what he said to us that has us concerned. People are starting to pay attention to him, to notice that he's different from other people on campus."
"We explained that it's because the magic is no longer smoothing everything over," Edie said. "With no magic forcing people to ignore evidence of faeries, strange things stand out a little more now."
Professor Strega nodded slowly. "Do they realize he is a faerie?"
"I don't think so," Dawn said, thinking of the boys who had commented on a girl running out of the room in the library. They obviously hadn't seen, or even suspected, the tall, muscular man she saw. "They just think he's a weird girl. Or maybe an interesting girl."
"But that's not the actual problem," Corrie said quickly. "He's mad that it works that way."
"Oh, he did not think of the consequences of his actions." Professor Strega spoke so dryly that Dawn wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic or not, but she couldn't help smirking anyway.
"Exactly," Corrie said. She was smiling, too. "So he said he's going to fix it. I don't know how, since he'd told us that the only way to fix the magic is with a new agreement, but he might have been lying then, or wrong now."
"And if it is possible for him to do something, we want the magic professors to keep an eye on him," Edie said.
"Yes," Professor Strega said. "I suppose we must."
"Sorry to dump this on you," Dawn said. "We know it won't be your problem soon, but you're the one who's here. We can come back in the morning and tell whichever magic professor is around then." Of course, she hoped they wouldn't have to, but she would have felt bad leaving out the option.
"No, no. Not necessary. I will speak to the others." Professor Strega picked up a pen from her desk and spun it between her fingers. "Did he say anything of what exactly he would do?"
"No," Corrie said, glancing quickly at Edie. "Just that he was going to fix it himself. He was kind of mad at us, but we were trying to get him to leave us alone."
Professor Strega's mouth opened wide in what Dawn thought was a smile. "That is right for you to do, girls. Thank you for telling this."
"You're welcome," Corrie said, and then they got out of there as quickly as they could without being rude.

Underlying all of the tools on StockCharts.com is our extensive price database, which contains data for over 50,000 different ticker symbols. After each trading day, over 1 million new data items are added to the database. It is important to understand how this data is organized in order to take full advantage of our website.
We have datasets for most ticker symbols in each of the markets we cover, but that doesn't necessarily mean we have all ticker symbols. We do not automatically provide data for extremely low-priced stocks since technical analysis techniques do not work with such stocks and the charts for those stocks can be extremely misleading.
If there is a ticker symbol for a stock in a market we cover that you would like to see and we do not have that symbol in our database, you can request that we add that symbol by using our Symbol Request Form.
We offer real-time data from two different sources: exchange real-time data for NYSE/Nasdaq/TSX/LSE/NSE and BATS real-time data for NYSE/Nasdaq.
Exchange real-time data comes directly from the appropriate exchange. We consider data quotes from those exchanges to be the "official" quotes for each security, and they should be extremely close to real-time values found on other sources. In addition, exchange real-time data contains accurate volume data. We highlight exchange real-time data bars in green.
We currently offer exchange real-time data for the NYSE, Nasdaq, TSX, LSE and NSE exchanges. There is an additional charge from the exchanges for their real-time data.
BATS real-time data is provided by the BATS exchange for no additional charge. BATS data is only available for US stocks. For liquid stocks, BATS data is very similar to NYSE/Nasdaq data. For thinly-traded stocks, BATS data can differ significantly. BATS data quotes do not contain useful volume information, so we do not display volume on BATS charts. We highlight BATS real-time data bars in yellow. Click here for more information about the BATS real-time data available on our site.
For each ticker symbol in our database, we have daily, weekly and monthly data bars. For the stocks that we track, we also have intraday data bars available in 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 30-, 60- and 120-minute durations.
Subscribers can create charts using any of the time periods listed above. Non-members can only chart daily and weekly bars.
Mutual Funds only report one data point per day (after the market closes) and thus can only be charted as lines on daily charts.
Indexes that only have one data value per day are called "End-of-Day" indexes and have the phrase "(EOD)" at the end of their description. They are typically updated soon after the market closes. Indexes that have the phrase "(NBD)" are updated during the next business day (i.e., the next day that the market is open).
Similar techniques are used to create 5-minute bars from 1-minute data, 30-minute bars from 10-minute data, monthly bars from daily data, etc.
Note: The date for weekly and monthly bars indicates the start of the bar's time period. For example, on a weekly bar, the date of the bar corresponds to the Monday of that week.
Note: For intraday bars, the first bar of the day may be shorter than the others. For example, since the US and Canada markets open at 9:30 AM, the first hourly bar of the day actually only covers 30 minutes, from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM. Subsequent bars cover entire hours.
We adjust our historical price data to remove the effects of fund distributions, dividends and stock splits from our charts. Without those adjustments, our technical indicators would give false signals.
If you'd like to chart the non-adjusted version of a stock, just add an underscore character to the front of the stock's ticker symbol.
Click here for more details on data adjustments.
The availability of historical data on our site varies based on the specific symbol, the data bar period, your membership level and how you want to use the data.
1-, 2-, 3-, 5- and 15-minute bars going back 20 days.
10- and 30-minute bars going back 40 days.
60-minute bars going back to 2004.
Daily, weekly and monthly bars going back to 1990 for most stocks, indexes and mutual funds (assuming they have been around that long).
Daily, weekly and monthly bars going back as far as 1900 for some indexes.
Your membership service level will determine how much historical data you can use in your charts, as well as whether or not you can see historical data in tabular format.
Non-members can only create charts of 5-years or less in length. They cannot see data in tabular format.
Basic and Extra members can create charts that use data from as far back as 1980. They can also see data in tabular form going back to 1990.
PRO members can use all of our historical data in their charts with some data going back to the 1940s or earlier. PRO members can see data in tabular form going back to 1970.
To see exactly how far back we have data for a particular symbol, just click the Symbol Catalog link at the bottom of any of our pages and search for the ticker symbol you are interested in. The starting date for its data is listed on the right side of the search results.
Note: Currently, "!" indexes are mostly indexes that were originally posted on the defunct DecisionPoint website, while "$" indexes were originally posted on StockCharts.com.
People can use ratio symbols to create what is sometimes called the "Price Relative line," the ratio of a stock against the S&P 500 Large Cap Index. For example, charting AAPL:$SPX will show you the Price Relative line for Apple Inc.
The actual values for each point on the relative strength line is not relevant. Instead, focus on the direction and shape of the line.
If the line is rising, the first ticker symbol is outperforming the second ticker symbol.
If the line is falling, the second ticker symbol is outperforming the first.
On a SharpChart, the "Price" indicator can be used to add a ratio symbol to an existing chart.
These formulas ensure that the ratio symbol's High value is still the highest value and its Low value is still the lowest value in the resulting dataset.
Similar to ratio symbols (see above), you can also join two ticker symbols together with a hyphen to create a "Difference Symbol," e.g. $TYX-$FVX.
On a SharpChart, the "Price" indicator can be used to add a Difference Symbol to an existing chart.
The Open, High, Low, Close and Volume values for the second symbol are subtracted from the corresponding values of the first symbol.
$ONE - this index always contains the value "1" for all of its data fields. It is mainly used to generate the reciprocal of any other ticker symbol in our database by using it in the first position of a Ratio Symbol - e.g., $ONE:$VIX. This is one easy way to create an inverse chart.
$SYMBOL - this index equals the "main" ticker symbol in a SharpChart.
$SECTOR - this index equals the sector ETF of the sector that the main ticker symbol belongs to.
$INDUSTRY - this index equals the industry index for the industry that the main ticker symbol belongs to.
So, for example, you could use these symbols to create a ChartStyle with a "Price" Indicator of "$SYMBOL:SECTOR" - then, regardless of the ticker symbol you apply the style to, we would then plot a sector-based relative strength line on the chart. These pseudo-symbols are available for use with US symbols that have a sector and industry assigned to them.
$THSAW - This index contains a "perfect" sawtooth pattern for studying 45-degree reversals.
$THSINE - This index contains a "perfect" sine-wave pattern for studying rounded reversals.
$THHS - This index contains "perfect" head-and-shoulders reversal patterns.
$THEW - This index contains "perfect" Elliott Wave patterns.
$THSS - This index contains a "perfect" set of sawtooth wave patterns that are themselves contained in a larger period sawtooth pattern.
How do I download data to Excel?
How do I access and use the Index Catalog?
Q: Do you offer pre-market or after hours data?
A: We do not have access to such data at this time.
Q: What time do the NSE charts update in real time?
A: The NSE starts trading at 9:15 AM and closes at 4:00 PM local time. That would be 11:45 PM and 6:30 AM Eastern Time, respectively.

A low-diameter, fast interconnection network is going to be a pre-requisite for building exascale machines. A two-level direct network has been proposed by several groups as a scalable design for future machines. IBM's PERCS topology and the dragonfly network discussed in the DARPA exascale hardware study are examples of this design. The presence of multiple levels in this design leads to hot-spots on a few links when processes are grouped together at the lowest level to minimize total communication volume. This is especially true for communication graphs with a small number of neighbors per task. Routing and mapping choices can impact the communication performance of parallel applications running on a machine with a two-level direct topology. This paper explores intelligent topology aware mappings of different communication patterns to the physical topology to identify cases that minimize link utilization. We also analyze the trade-offs between using direct and indirect routing with different mappings. We use simulations to study communication and overall performance of applications since there are no installations of two-level direct networks yet. This study raises interesting issues regarding the choice of job scheduling, routing and mapping for future machines.

EFCC Did Not Hand over Alamieyeseigha's Property To Falana
AMT TanimuApril 6, 2017 1:41 pm 0
Wilson Uwujaren, Abuja: Our attention has been drawn to a malicious and misleading report trending on the social media platforms that Ola Olukoyede, Chief of Staff, CoS, to Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC was a staff "seconded" to the Commission from the Chambers of Femi Falana, SAN.
The report further alleged that Falana, SAN is a beneficiary of some of the properties recovered by the Commission from the late Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha, former Governor of Bayelsa State, hence the secondment of Olukoyede to the EFCC. The allegations are not only unfounded but evil, as all the properties recovered from the former governor have been returned to the state Bayelsa State government.
For the record, Olukoyede was not "seconded" to the EFCC by Falana and he has never worked in Femi Falana's Chambers. He was head hunted based on his pedigree. Even if he had worked for Falana it may not have mattered as working for Falana is not a criminal offence in the nation's statute.
It is also important to state that Falana, SAN is not a counsel to the EFCC and has never interfered in the operations of the agency.
The author of the mischievous and misleading information went ahead to give the telephone number of the CoS and asked members of the public to call and enquire if he was indeed a former staff of Femi Falana's Chambers. He has therefore been bombarded with unsolicited calls by members of the public.
Whoever is behind this criminal act should desist forthwith as any attempt to further malign the reputation of Olukoyede and the EFCC would not go unchallenged.

NEWER POSTFG to evolve creative measures to ensure full payment of pension arrears
OLDER POSTFIFA World Rankings: Super Eagles Move To 5th Place In Africa


As a women-owned company, LuminAID seeks to empower women not only with our inflatable solar lights during emergencies but also in recreational activities. When we first learned about Emily, we were struck by how passionate she is about the outdoors: she is an avid solo female traveler with an impressive National Park Bucket list. Many women consider traveling solo, but can often be put off by the risks associated. We asked Emily about her motivation for traveling and the experiences she's had.
A: I am a mash-up of varied and seemingly disparate interests that have come together to create a truly joyful and fulfilling life. I am a math teacher, a lifelong artist. The explorer in me loves the limitless potential of a classroom of students - finding their way, just me in the outdoors. I have a passion for exploration and solo experiences. I have traveled to almost every state on my own, 41 US National Parks, 5 in Canada, and countless other monuments.
"Doing things made me feel capable -- and that capability provided me the motivation I needed to do more. And more and more and more."
Q: Why did you become so passionate about the outdoors?
A: I've always loved being outside. I was the sort of kid that would run around all day and hate coming in at night. When I became a teacher, I put all of my effort into teaching. I found joy in exploring. So, I moved to Colorado at 28 without any family or friends to start a new life. I immediately got out on the trails (even though I really knew nothing about the outdoors). Doing things made me feel capable -- and that capability provided me the motivation I needed to do more. And more and more and more.
Q: When did you come up with the idea for your National Park bucket list?
A: I was inspired by my uncle's adventures and honestly going through a bit of an identity crisis -- nearing 30, single, and purely focused on teaching. I decided on a whim to go to the Grand Canyon. I didn't consider taking anyone with me -- besides, that would take away from what I wanted the trip to be.
I traveled to the Great Sand Dunes, Santa Fe, the Petrified Forest and on to the Grand Canyon. I spent all day hiking only stopping to watch the sunset. It felt natural and unlike anything I had experienced before. I felt like myself. The truest version.
After that trip, I continued chasing that feeling, and it increased with each journey. After doing 12 National Parks on my own, I realized this was unique, and that I should gamify it to keep myself motivated. I wrote all the parks in my journal, and vowed to check them all off by 2025 -- when I am 40.
Q: What are some major challenges you've encountered?
A: It's been a little over 3 years since that visit to the Grand Canyon. I've visited 41 US parks, and there have been challenges. Money. Time. I travel extensively -- meaning that relationships often don't receive the time and care that they need. Fear and anxiety. I've always had a precarious relationship with both, and at different times they creep up unannounced.
"It's not that I'm not afraid -- I am all the time -- I just do it anyway."
Q: Why did you decided to travel solo?
A: I didn't decide to travel solo as much as I didn't really consider anything else. I didn't have a friend or boyfriend that was interested in the same things I was, and I knew I wasn't going to wait around.
I've always been very confident in myself, but I still struggle with fear and anxiety. Society have made women believe that there is danger around every corner. The truth is that scary things do exist, everywhere. I feel more safety on the road. I have a higher level of confidence when I am traveling that I think comes across. It's not that I'm not afraid -- I am all the time -- I just do it anyway.
Q: What has been your most memorable solo travel adventure?
A: A road trip I took through the West and Canada last summer. I had just had a platform bed built in the back of my SUV and some extra time to fill. I spent time in Montana, up through 5 Canadian National Parks, back down through Yellowstone and the Tetons -- all camping (and hiking and driving and swimming) on my own. I was facing fears daily and finding strength within myself that I didn't know I had. I came back a changed person -- more confident, capable, and willing to share my experiences.
Q: What advice would you give to other women who want to travel solo?
A:First, it's okay to be scared, everyone is. The pictures you see on Instagram don't tell the whole story. Don't let it stop you.
Second, it's never too late. I had a steady career, apartment, and a bunch of friends married with children -- but I didn't let that define me. I haven't done things in a conventional way, and that's what's made them even sweeter.
Third, You don't have to backpack the entire Pacific Coast Trail or take a year off to visit 50 countries to experience the outdoors. Take a walk in your neighborhood or visit a new city park.
Are you ready to experience the outdoors? Check out our Solar Lights and Phone Chargers to light your way.
