There's a reason humans feel happier gazing at stars rather than screens and the stale air of a shopping mall cannot compare with the fresh sky of the outdoors. Welcome to the new fortnightly series, Life Outside! — a place where I will share snippets of microadventures, action sports, eco-friendly tips, and other adventure stories that hopefully inspire you to live a life outside of your home, work, or other space that confines you.
Microadventure: an adventure that is local, cheap, and easy to do yet fulfills your desire for an unusual or exciting experience. You don't need to go on a great expedition to go on an adventure, you can experience one close by during those coveted free hours you have a week.
Night swimming: Once the sun went down, some friends and I went for a spontaneous swim under the stars at Scarborough Beach. Thanks to a veil of darkness, everyone was acting like a little kid again — rolling around in the sand, doing cartwheels, and sprinting into the water.
Movie on the beach: There's a group of fellow expats who organize a movie on the beach every once in a while, where they throw up a small white sheet and project a movie against a secluded cliff wall. Moritz and I laid down a few towels and watched the dysfunctional relationship between Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in Frida unfold under the night sky.
Snorkeling in Mettam's Pool: For just a few hours, I snagged my snorkel and went down to an ocean pool just a mile from my house. The visibility wasn't great, but I did get to float among a school of small silver fish and watch some other critters snack on the reef's algae.
Watching the sunset from the roof of a newly explored parking structure: The sherbet colors of the sunset were so beautiful that it inspired a few of us to dance a little boogie to the music blaring from the tacky neon-lit beach club nearby.
Kitesurfing x2: I'm not comfortable enough with kitesurfing for it to not be an unusual or exciting experience — and I don't think it ever will be! Both sessions were at Pinnaroo Point. I always wait until most of the kitesurfers head in for the day, and kite just before sunset. The only downside to this is that all of the fishermen tend to come out around this time and I have to plan my exit to the beach between sketchy fishing poles. Guess you could say I'm hooked on kitesurfing? Ba dum, chhh!
Surfing in hot pink bloomers: Perth has a OneWave community that has started a movement to help bring awareness for mental illness. Every week for Fluro Friday, surfers splash out in neon clothing and paddle out together for a surf. Moritz wore a pair of my neon-pink spandex running shorts… prompting a random woman in the parking lot to ask me, "Is this a girl's day out or something?" I could only go in for a few minutes, thanks to my fresh 7:30 am work start time.
Margaret River Roadtrip: Moritz and I went on yet another roadtrip two-night camping trip to Margaret River. The first night, we had to camp in someone's front yard! Thanks to it being Australia Day weekend, Margaret River was more crowded than usual but we still found ourselves surfing at uncrowded smaller surf breaks midday after the morning rush left the water.
We arrived in Dunsborough in the middle of the night, and didn't want to wake up the neighborhood with out obnoxiously loud air mattress pump. So, Moritz and I walked through the entire neighborhood, pumped it up in the bushes off of the side of a main road, and then walked the queen sized rubber mattress back to our house — holding it over our heads like a canoe.
Of course, the mattress went flat halfway through the night. Possibly from a puncture wound doled out by a sharp branch.
The Surfrider Foundation has started a campaign, Rise Above Plastics, that strives to bring awareness to plastic usage and alternative items to use. Moritz and I did really well at generally avoiding plastic bags by bringing our trusty canvas ones and putting store-bought fruit and veggies straight onto the conveyor belt instead of separated bags. Boomerang Bags has just started to take off in Perth and I've signed up to volunteer sewing bags out of old fabric and finally put my dusty sewing machine to use.
However, we now have a popped air mattress that's irreparable as well as two other's lying around in our storage room from past roommates. I'm not sure whether these can be recycled — and if so, where? Our neighborhood's recycling program is basically nonexistent so I'll have to truck these somewhere to be recycled properly. Note: Never buying or inheriting one again!
For a freelance assignment, I chased down Simon Marks, one half of a duo that has just set off to kitesurf along the barren coastline of Western Australia without any support. No 4WD following them along the shoreline with supplies and no real backup plan if things go awry. Once they pass Perth, they'll be unreachable in a timely manner. They've built a small capsule (cheekily named "Choad") carrying all of their first aid, food, and water purifier that will drag behind one of the kitesurfers on a literal lifeline. Already, they've faced a snapped tow line and had to swim a 12m kite ashore. Still, Simon told me that the trip along Western Australia isn't the finish line — it's the starting gate in the grand scheme of their downwind without support adventures.
Another great post…you are so much like this Grandma….I still love to play outside!!! Makes me so happy to see you having these adventures!

Home Arkansas News Dual Sport Riding in Arkansas
Dual Sport Riding in Arkansas
Zoie Clift
By: Zoie Clift, Travel Writer
Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism
Dualsport Biking in Arkansas
Part of the appeal of riding motorcycles is the adventure found on the open road. On a dual sport motorcycle, one suited for both on- and off-road riding, bikers can also venture off paved roads and highways to explore backcountry terrain like dirt roads, gravel roads and jeep trails.
"For every great vista on the highway there are a hundred nearby on dirt roads," says Scott Smith, an Arkansas based dual sport rider.
Smith, vice president of Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, started riding dual sport bikes about six years ago. He bought an XR650L Honda for $4,500, put on some safety extras and a Corbin seat, and has ridden almost 30,000 miles since.
Smith says dual sport riding provides a different experience than riding on highways. "We ride dirt bikes legal for the road, but we do our best to stay off paved surfaces," he states. "Much like slab riders, we ride with our friends sometimes, but mostly alone, enjoying the solitude and soaking up nature."
According to Smith, what makes Arkansas stand out as a dual sport riding destination is the contrasting topography, the many routes through thousands of miles of back roads, and the state's national forests. He says the rivers and creeks also offer views not seen from paved highways.
Smith adds that Arkansas is centrally located and a lure for riders who crave the state's hilly, mountainous roads. "Our people are friendly too; the traveler loves that."
His favorite route in the state is from Turpentine Creek to Oark, through Pettigrew or Red Star. Oark was made "biker famous" by Sam Correro, creator of the Trans-America Trail (TAT), a nearly 5,000-mile dual sport motorcycle route across the U.S. "He was right, they have good pie!," Smith exclaims, referring to what Correro reported about the Oark General Store. "The reason I like this route is there is no definite route between the two places, I make up a new route each time I make the trip. Our back roads make up a huge web of possibilities."
Smith has ridden the western half of the TAT through Arkansas. "Each time I want to keep going all the way to Coos Bay, Oregon, but reality drags me back and I go to work the next day dreaming about the ride."
The TAT starts in Tennessee and goes west across the U.S. to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. "You are touring America and you are seeing the heart of America like it can't be seen from the interstate," Sam Correro shares about the epic trail. "And you stop at all the mom and pop hotels and restaurants… and eat the local food."
As to the story behind the route, Correro, who is based in Mississippi, was looking for places to ride, so he started riding gravel and dirt roads on weekends and connecting the routes together. Pretty soon he had a big loop mapped in Mississippi. He wanted to go further – and Arkansas was the next state he tackled.
Correro contacted the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department and bought county maps that showed the state's gravel and dirt roads. He began riding and exploring the terrain. "My first couple of days in Arkansas proved to be good and I though, well I'm just going to keep going," he shares. "And I made my way into the Arkansas Ozarks, and to the Oklahoma state line."
"You are touring America and you are seeing the heart of America like it can't be seen from the interstate"
And then he kept going, eventually making it out to the coast of Oregon. It took him 12 years' worth of weekends and vacation time to map the entire TAT. "It was a labor of love is what it was," he says.
After he finished mapping the trail, he built a website that included detailed information such as rider reports, gas stop locations, restaurants, lodging, places to cross rivers and interstates, and where to access maps and roll-charts. Now dual sport riders from across the nation and world come to ride the trail. Correro explains the ride between Clinton, Arkansas and Bartlesville, Oklahoma on the TAT is one of his favorite two days of riding.
Smith adds, "dual sport riding serves up images and experiences you cannot find on the [paved] road, all in the near absence of cars and trucks. We respect our backwoods property owners and love our mountains. Minimalism is practiced while at the same time you have to be able to fix your bike in the middle of nowhere. If you chose to get involved [in the sport] be safe, ride within your skills, and wave at the locals."

Also, Scott Smith organizes the Arkansas 500 dual sport ride each year as a benefit for Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. This multi-day event covers 500 miles of back roads in Arkansas. For more details, visit arkansas500.com.
One more resource Smith shares – is how he's met others interested in this activity. To check out first person accounts and advice, head to the Adventure Rider Motorcycle Forum at advrider.com.

Nigeria farmer-herder conflict now deadlier than Boko Haram
By SAM OLUKOYAJuly 26, 2018 GMT
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria now faces a deadlier threat than its own Boko Haram insurgency, with fighting between farmers and herdsmen over scare resources killing far more people this year, a new report said Thursday.
The violence "threatens to become even deadlier" and could undermine national stability ahead of elections next year, the International Crisis Group report says, adding that the conflict "has taken on dangerous religious and ethnic dimensions."
More than 1,300 Nigerians died from the farmer-herder conflicts in the first half of this year, while the death toll from the Nigeria-based Boko Haram's insurgency was about 250.
The clashes are a growing security concern in Africa's most populous country, which is roughly split between Muslims in the north and Christians in the south.
The herders, mainly Muslims from the Fulani ethnic group, and the mostly Christian farmers are fighting over land and water in Nigeria's fertile central region. The threat from Boko Haram in the country's north has pushed the herders south into more heavily populated areas in search of grazing land, while climate change is also a factor.
Nigerians were shocked last month when more than 200 people were killed after herdsmen invaded a number of villages in Plateau State. The government sent in counterterror units to end the bloodshed in one of the deadliest such confrontations this year.
The government of President Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim former military ruler who won office in a democratic transfer of power in 2015, has not done enough to contain the conflict, the new report says.
Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu did not respond to requests for comment.

Alabama executes Muslim inmate who wanted imam present
Dominique Ray, sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl, complained in a challenge that he wasn't allowed an imam to be present.
Feb. 8, 2019, 4:58 AM UTC
ATMORE, Ala. — A Muslim inmate who complained in a legal challenge that Alabama wouldn't let his Islamic spiritual adviser be present in the execution chamber was put to death Thursday after the nation's highest court cleared the way.
Dominique Ray, 42, was pronounced dead at 10:12 p.m. of a lethal injection at the state prison in Atmore.
Ray had argued Alabama's execution procedure favors Christian inmates because a Christian chaplain employed by the prison typically remains in the execution chamber during a lethal injection, but the state would not let his imam be present.
This undated photo from the Alabama Department of Corrections shows inmate Dominique Ray.Alabama Department of Corrections via AP
Attorneys for the state said only prison employees are allowed in the chamber for security reasons.
Prison system spokesman Bob Horton said Ray was visited by his imam both Wednesday and Thursday. Ray's imam, Yusef Maisonet, watched the execution from an adjoining witness room. There was no Christian chaplain in the chamber.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday had stayed the execution over the religious arguments, but the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for it to proceed in a 5-4 decision Thursday evening.
Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a dissent that the dissenting justices considered the decision to let the execution go forward "profoundly wrong."
Other states generally allow spiritual advisers to accompany condemned inmates up to the execution chamber but not into it, said Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, which studies capital punishment in the United States.
Durham said he did not know of any other state where the execution protocol calls for a Christian chaplain to be present in the execution chamber.
Ray was sentenced to death for the 1995 rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl. Tiffany Harville disappeared from her Selma home on July 15, 1995, and her decomposing body was found one month later in a cotton field.
It was Alabama's first execution of the year.
Ray was convicted in 1999 after another man, Marcus Owden, confessed to his role in the crime and implicated Ray. Owden told police that they had picked the girl up for a night out on the town and then raped her. Owden said that Ray cut the girl's throat. Owden pleaded guilty to murder, testified against Ray and is serving a life sentence without parole.
A jury recommended the death penalty for Ray by an 11-1 vote.
Ray's attorneys had also asked in legal filings to stay the execution on other grounds. Lawyers say it was not disclosed to the defense team that records from a state psychiatric facility suggested Owden suffered from schizophrenia and delusions.
The Supreme Court also rejected that claim Thursday.


Add extra delight to the festival of Diwali by sending colorful diyas to your loved ones in Gurgaon online, at cheap cost.
Diwali or Deepawali brings happiness and prosperity in the family.

People light up small clay lamps to welcome Laxmi and the happiness that she brings along. Diyas are an ultimate source of Diwali celebrations and are lit in a row to follow an ancient tradition. According to Hindu mythology, it was Amavasya or no moon night, when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after 14 years of banishment and people lit diyas to illuminate his path.

Vinhedo (wijngaard) is een gemeente in Brazilië in de staat São Paulo. De gemeente ligt 725 meter boven zeeniveau, is 82 km² groot en heeft naar schatting 54.194 inwoners (2004).

De gemeente staat bekend om haar "Festa da Uva" (Druivenfeest) en de corruptie van haar burgemeesters en secretarissen. Zo moest de oude burgemeester Milton Serafim samen met zijn twee secretarissen Marcos Ferreira Leite en Alexandre Tasca drie maanden de gevangenis in wegens medeplichtigheid bij fraude. Dit heeft in totaal 60 miljoen gekost.

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. October has been super busy, which means I didn't get much of a chance to head over to Weight Watchers to give myself a little bit of a check-in.
For those of you that weren't aware, (no hard feelings), I've been on (doing? attending? whatever.) Weight Watchers for just about four months now. I'm also not being paid to say anything that is in this blog post, even though I would gladly take some cash for it. (Looking at you, Jennifer Hudson!) So far, it's been an incredibly successful journey. To date, I've lost nearly 17 pounds, which doesn't sound like a whole lot, but that's an average of about 1 pound a week…and also heavier than the bowling ball I used to throw back in high school. Super cool. I'm also pretty amazed at my quick success.
It took me until now to figure out really what it was that caused my success. Granted, I'm eating smarter and exercising, but it's a little bit more than that. At least, I think so. Being a Weight Watchers member gets me (some, not many) things, including access to weekly meetings. I used to go to meetings every Sunday before I moved, and once I was settled in, I found another store that held meetings on Sunday. Wahoo! I found stability in my crazy adult life again.
This month, I could only go to two meetings. I had missed three meetings in a row, and had no idea what to expect when I stepped on the scale for the first time in nearly a month. I was mentally prepping myself to see some incredibly high number on the scale, knowing that I hadn't exercised as much as I normally do, but still hopeful. Up just over two pounds. Awesome.
I'll admit, I was pretty hard on myself about it. Way harder than I should have been on myself for gaining only two pounds in three weeks. Two pounds is less than the weight of an ostrich egg…pull yourself together Jackie! It was tough to shake it at first. I zoned out the whole meeting, beating myself up inside, asking myself what I could have done differently, yelling at myself for not running further or faster, and stupidly telling myself that I should try some of those drink-water-and-powder "detox" diets that are essentially equivalent to a 3-day starvation.
It took me a while to get through the mini-spiral of self-depreciation, but I went on a long run and thought about it. Yep, I gained two pounds, and yep, when I've finally started to try to lose weight it hurts my motivation and self esteem, but hang on a second. I (at the time) had lost 12 pounds. 12! That's a lot. More than a child weighs at birth! I had finally gotten myself to understand that the bigger picture is what is important, and there will be some bumps along the way.
After going to a meeting for the first time in three weeks, I was kicked in to high gear and back on track. Even though I didn't exercise as much as I would have liked, I buckled back down and had lost four pounds in a week. I credit Weight Watchers meetings.
These meetings allow you to sit in a room full of positive energy and motivation, even though it's only for a half an hour. I'm generally the youngest in the room, but I still feel like I fit in. There's an incredible mix of people there, and all of them have something helpful to share.
For anyone struggling with weight loss that isn't willing to join Weight Watchers for whatever reason (no judging, I promise!), I would say this – find a group to hold you accountable. Put together some sort of "biggest loser" competition in your office, or find a group of friends that are willing to get together once a week and support each other. It doesn't sound like the best advice, but what do you have to lose?

Brodeur lifts Devs over .500
Tampa, Fla. — Martin Brodeur came up big again, and got a little lucky, too.
Brodeur made 34 saves, and Brian Gionta scored twice during New Jersey's three-goal second period to lead the Devils past the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 last night.
David Clarkson also scored for the Devils, who went 4-0 on a four-game road trip. Brodeur allowed five goals during the stretch.
"He played unbelievable this whole road trip," Devils defenseman Colin White said of Brodeur. "Save after save. They had a lot of chances, good quality chances."
Brodeur stood tall in the third, when the Devils were outshot 14-1. He also benefited from a video review with 4:49 left that showed a puck that trickled through his pads, but didn't cross the goal line.
"I saw it (didn't)," Brodeur said. "You never know when it's in the hands of other people what they're going to see."
The victory also lifted the Devils above .500 for the first time this season at 11-10-2. "It means we're doing better," Brodeur said. "Every team in sports, you want to be over .500. So now we're there and hopefully we'll never look back."
Devils left wing Patrik Elias missed his second straight game with flulike symptoms.
Tampa Bay got goals from Vincent Lecavalier and Jason Ward. The Lightning have dropped four in a row after a five-game winning streak.
Gionta and Clarkson scored 42 seconds apart in the second to give the Devils a 3-1 lead. After Gionta scored from the left circle at 12:19, Clarkson extended the lead to two goals during a two-on-one at 13:01. Gionta's power-play goal earlier in the period, at 4:49, had tied it at 1. Jamie Langenbrunner had an assist on the goal, giving him six in the last three games.
Brodeur, one of two NHL goalies with 500 or more wins, stopped 14-of-15 shots by the Lightning during the second. The victory was the 503rd for Brodeur, with only Patrick Roy (551) ahead of him on the all-time list.
Notes — Former Devils coach Pat Burns, who stepped down from his coaching position because of cancer in 2005, is scouting for New Jersey. The Florida resident sat in the press box with Devils GM Lou Lamoriello.

Home United Arab Emirates
Statement by His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed AlNahyan
Mr. President, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to H.E. the President of Kazakhstan: not only for the hospitality and friendship he and his people are bestowing upon us in hosting us here, but also for the vision and foresight that led him to propose the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), now almost twenty years ago to date. Interaction and Confidence Building specifically cater to intra-Asian relations and focus efforts toward enhancing pan-Asian development.
On a number of issues, Asian countries already successfully interact to build common responses to common challenges. Asian countries have recently come together over Afghanistan. The Istanbul-process aimed at security stability in the Heart of Asia is the most eminent illustration of this intra-Asian cooperation. Insecurity in Afghanistan has repercussions far beyond its borders and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council will be directly affected by any instability origination from there. Asain-owned approaches are very important to ensure progress, notably since the wider international presence is scheduled to be significantly diminished from 2014.
Maritime piracy and threat to the safety of sea lanes in Asia, is another prime example where Asian countries, notably around the western Indian Ocean, cooperate. The United Arab Emirates has assumed a leadership role on this issue, organizing two high-level international conferences in Dubai, bringing together public and private stakeholders. In doing so, the UAE has greatly benefitted from the experiences of countries dealing with maritime piracy in the Strait of Malacca.
However, Asia still faces problems that stand in the way of realizing its full global potential. Allow me to identify three issues that are close to the UAE's interest and that would benefit from confidence building mechanisms, also in an Asian context.
Firstly, the UAE continues to suffer from the occupation by Iran of three UAE islands in the Strait of Hormuz. In spite of this illegal occupation, the UAE has always been willing to submit to international mediation or direct negotiations to reach a solution for this destabilizing conflict with potentially far-reaching international consequences. However, Iran's unwillingness to engage has so far has obstructed any progress since 1971. Let me repeat the UAE's position: we are willing to submit to international action, including through the UN, the International Court of Justice, or any international mediation or direct bilateral negotiations.
Secondly, the humanitarian situation in Syria, as a result of the current regime's intransigence, is deteriorating by the day. In addition, humanitarian suffering is increasingly exported, since neighbouring countries are hosting vast numbers of refugees. The UAE and other Gulf countries have taken their responsibility, offering financial and in-kind assistance. Syria and the region will be served by a transition to a new Government and international sanctions are the best option to weaken the current regime. The Arab League has been at the forefront of implementing these. But the gridlock in the UN Security Council is obstructing effective international action. While acknowledging recent positive steps by the Asian members of the P5, the UAE urges them to further reconsider their positions and support the transition.
Thirdly, the international community should not ignore the situation in Palestine. While reasonably calm at the moment, the situation there will eventually deteriorate as the Peace Process becomes stagnant. Israel's continuing settlement activity stands in the way of any lasting solution.
Overall, Asia – with its vast variety of people and cultures – benefits from projecting an image of tolerance and diversity. While strongly adhering to the principle of non-interference, the UAE feels that individual Asian Governments have a responsibility to take care of minorities within their territories. In this respect, I would like to express my deep concern regarding the incidents of sectarian violence in Myanmar and I call upon all countries in this meeting to urge the Government of Myanmar to stop these violations of international law.

Government initiatives toward aiding entrepreneurs in successful setting up of potato flakes production units, and providing them with radical technical intelligence will continue to bode well for developments and sales of potato flakes in the near future.
A recent study of Fact.MR envisages the potato flakes market to record a splendid 7.0% value CAGR through 2028. Fast growth of food chains worldwide, beyond metros in destinations of tourist interest, is another key growth influencer of the potato flakes market.
Organized and planned approach of modern trade formats to distribution and logistics management, and demand aggregation across diverse product ranges, have significantly impacted sales of potato flakes worldwide. Potato flakes sales are likely to grow on the efforts of modern trade retailers in maintaining their fill rate above safety stock, for balancing the inventory across the economic order quantity. Supremacy of modern trade in the potato flakes market is foreseen to prevail, despite relatively slower sales conversion estimated for the period, 2018 to 2028, according to the study.
However, specialty stores are fast permeating the potato flakes market, with sales growth forecast to record a relatively faster pace through 2028. Challenges apropos of competition from modern trade channels are more than offset by shifting consumer preference for all-natural, premium foods, which have a direct influence on growth of the potato flakes market. The potato flakes market is likely to benefit immensely from attractive product presentation, clear market position, and excellent maintenance of customer relations observed in specialty stores.
"Potato flakes have sought widespread adoption in manufacturing and processing of food products, in light of its incremental filling, water- & oil-holding, and thickening attributes. Transportation and storage of potato flakes involve lower investment, as the shelf-life is greater for the product. Several food processing manufacturers are shifting their focus from fresh potatoes to potato flakes, in a bid to simplify production processes involved, increase productivity, and cut down manufacturing costs. Application of potato flakes has witnessed a widening trend, and culinary experts are putting constant efforts on discovering more potential applications of potato flakes," says a lead analyst at Fact.MR.
The potato flakes market will continue to grow in light of expansion of retail chains, in terms of both digital and physical. Increasing product portfolios and production lines of established players is another key demand influencer for potato flakes. Robust rise of the retail sector across diverse domains of consumer products has posed an indirect impact on demand for potato flakes. Leading companies in the potato flakes market are focusing on consolidating their market position to gain higher stakes, while emphasizing on production of light-weight and high-quality products.
Remarkable growth in retail sales of baby food products, in tandem with essentiality of potato flakes as an imperative ingredient in many baby foods, will further fuel growth of the potato flakes market in the upcoming years. Rapid urbanization and rising disposable incomes of consumers have directly influenced sales of processed and ready-to-eat foods, as they enable relaxation in the already busy regime of consumers. Demand proliferation of such food products has significantly rubbed off on expansion of the potato flakes market, and this trend is expected to persist in the upcoming years.
Demand for potato flakes will also be impacted by shifting consumer preference toward consumption of food & beverage products that are rich in nutrition. Efforts of leading players in realizing new product developments and innovations, for gaining a competitive edge and better positioning of their brands, will also remain a key growth influencer for the potato flakes market in the forthcoming years.

R.L. Stine Continues to Frighten
Written by Jon Williams
The calendar may have just flipped over to August, but as far as we're concerned, it's never too early to start thinking about Halloween. You can look forward to plenty of Halloween media ideas from us between now and October, and what better way to kick it off than with a master of the creepy tale, a man whose work has been the basis for countless pleasant shivers in the dead of night? After an early career writing humour aimed at kids, R.L. Stine eventually came to the conclusion that he'd rather frighten them. His first kids' horror novel, Blind Date, was published in 1986, and the rest is history. According to his website, he's written well over 300 books in the intervening 32 years, including a number of wildly popular series.
By far his most well-known series is Goosebumps. Begun in 1992 with Welcome to Dead House, the classic series ran through 1997 and comprised a total of 62 books. Goosebumps has taken on a life of its own with a number of spinoff and companion series, some of which continue to this day. One of those is called SlappyWorld, featuring Slappy, a ventriloquist's dummy come to life with scary stories of his own to tell. Slappy made his first appearance very early on, in 1993's Night of the Living Dummy, and became a primary antagonist in the 1995 follow-up. From there he took on a life of his own, so to speak, appearing in several HorrorLand books (yet another Goosebumps-adjacent series) before spawning his own series in 2017's Slappy Birthday to You. There are currently five books in the series, with Escape from Shudder Mansion just releasing late in July, and more to come.
Of course, popular as it was and still is, Goosebumps was not Stine's first book series. That honour goes to Fear Street, which started in 1989 with The New Girl. Recent titles in this series include Party Games and Don't Stay Up Late. Also released in late July, You May Now Kill the Bride is the first book in a new Return to Fear Street series. And Fear Street fans can look forward to renewed interest in the series, with Fox recently announcing plans for three theatrical films to be based on stories from the books.
And although Stine has made his name in the world of publishing, he is certainly no stranger to the screen. As his writing career was gaining traction in the early 1990s, he helped create and wrote for the children's TV series Eureeka's Castle. Shortly thereafter, Goosebumps was turned into an anthology TV series that ran for four seasons. In 2007, the movie The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It was made, loosely adapted from a book of Stine's short stories, and that too was spun off into a successful anthology series, winning a number of Daytime Emmys among other awards. And in 2015, Goosebumps became a feature film starring Jack Black as R.L. Stine himself. A sequel, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, is due in theatres in October.
R.L. Stine has been giving young readers the creeps for more than thirty years now, and in so doing, has inspired generations of kids to develop a love of reading that has carried them into adulthood (and adults who grew up reading him as kids should check out Red Rain, his grown-up horror novel written in tribute to longtime fans). As his popularity expands with each new book and movie, continue to share his work with eager young readers and listeners. You can search his name on our website for all his works we carry in audiobook and Playaway, and point your patrons to hoopla, where they can find a wide selection of his books in both audio and eBook.

Léglise de la Descente-du-Saint-Esprit de Ruma (en serbe cyrillique :  ; en serbe latin : ) est une église orthodoxe serbe située à Ruma en Serbie, dans la province de Voïvodine. Construite à partir de 1836, elle est inscrite sur la liste des monuments culturels de grande importance de la République de Serbie (identifiant SK 1307).

Présentation

L'église de la Descente-du-Saint-Esprit a été construite à partir 1836 à l'emplacement d'une église en bois mentionnée dès 1750 ; elle a été édifiée à l'instigation du riche marchand Cincar et est également connue sous le nom d'« église grecque » (en serbe : ). Elle a été conçue dans un esprit classique par l'architecte Matijas Frelih, originaire de Novi Sad. Par manque de fonds, les travaux furent interrompus et ils reprirent en 1903 sous la direction de l'architecte autrichien Hermann Bollé, qui infléchit le projet originel dans un sens plus éclectique.

L'édifice est constitué d'une nef unique prolongée par un chevet demi-circulaire et, à l'ouest, elle est dominée par un haut clocher. Les façades, richement ornées, sont rythmées par des pilastres surmontés d'une frise courant en dessous du toit ; les fenêtres sont dotées d'arcades en plein cintre. À l'est de l'église se trouve un petit bâtiment rectangulaire couronné d'un dôme qui abrite le tombeau de la famille Marković.

L'iconostase a été sculptée en 1851 par Georgije Dević et peinte par Uroš Predić, qui a également réalisé les peintures du trône de l'évêque et du chœur ; dans son travail, l'artiste a été assisté par Paško Vučetić.

L'église a été restaurée en 1980 et le toit a été refait en 2006.

Honeybees play a huge role in the ecosystem. Do you know that all sorts of fruit and vegetables are pollinated by honey bees, such as broccoli and squash, apples and almonds? It is important in foraging crops, such as field beans and clover, used to feed the livestock we depend on for meat.

CLIMATE CHANGEENVIRONMENTThere is Still Hope

In preparation for a quick getaway, the bride and groom ran to the waiting convertible with a "Just Married" sign on the trunk. With showers of confetti and cries of congratulations, the groom turned the key in the ignition.
Smiles turned to shock as we heard a loud explosion; the front of the car was engulfed in smoke. It took a few minutes of confusion to see that no one was hurt or injured. It was a smoke bomb, a prank the two teenage sons of the bride played on the newlyweds.
No ordinary wedding, this was the marriage of my father to my new step-mother. My naive eleven-year-old mind was beginning to understand that this was going to be far from the fantasy family I dreamed it would be.
My mother died when I was seven, leaving my father with two sons and a daughter. For three years we lived with dad and an abusive aunt. The grief of my father was palpable, not to mention the grief and confusion we children felt. So when he married this woman, it was exciting, relieving, and hopeful. Here was a woman who seemed to really be interested and kind to us. The hope in my heart was as large as my body could hold: I would have a new mom.
According to Step Family Matters, a web site established for the support of stepfamilies, "One important aspect parents need to understand is why misbehaving happens in the first place. A misbehaving child is a discouraged child because he or she has a mistaken belief about the lack of belonging or significance in their family." If this is so, certainly my father and this new family threatened these two rebellious teens.
Dad was the authority in our house before these two families merged; things were done according to his rules. One of the rules was never to talk about the elephant in the room—my mother's death, my aunt's abuse and my father's sadness and anger were just walked around, but always loomed large. We were told what to do and we did it. Now things were certainly shifting. My new step-mother acted as mediator between dad and her two sons, while assuming the role of disciplinarian for the three "new" kids. While the older boys were outwardly rebelling, I was inwardly trying to find my way as well. I became a people pleaser, hoping to be accepted. I tried to "be seen and not heard," but that only lasted so long before my spirit would erupt in temper. Surely this too was a form of acting out.
The car explosion is a good metaphor for how we came to forge our new family. Boom!...people and relationships, unresolved loss and grief mixed with expectation and hope. There were new rules and rituals that were very different from my family of origin. There were family dinners, fights and tears, just like any family, but it was intensified because we were all uncertain about our place in this new family. I was in a smoke cloud of confusion for a very long time. I am not sure I ever felt truly a part of a new family but rather that I was assimilated into theirs.
As Elizabeth Carter, ACSW of the Family Institute of Westchester states," Our culture provides no guidelines. It is our experience that blending families is one of the most difficult transitions for families to negotiate." Death, divorce and a new family-- these were the very complex issues that we wounded family members were dealing with, without adequate support or guidance. Covered in an ash of denial as a way to cope, denial then became a way of life.
My parents did the best they could given the times they were living in. Children don't come with instruction sheets. People learn how to be a parent one day at a time, and becoming a stepparent adds layers of dimension to that task. It takes looking at the elephant in the room, feeding and nurturing it, with a big dose of time and patience.
Family meetings are a way to give all members a forum for sharing thoughts, needs, and feelings, as well as fostering a sense of belonging. Perhaps a book like Ron Deal's The Smart Stepfamily would give these meetings direction and purpose.
Discipline your own biological children until new family bonds, boundaries and rules are forged and strong.
Respect and honor the relationships children have with their family of origin. They have bonds that should not be broken with other parents, grandparents, etc.
My basic need was support through the inevitable ups and downs of our new life. I needed reassurance that my relationship with my father and brothers was secure. I needed then to know I was loved and valued as a member of this new family. As a young child I needed to know that love doesn't divide, but rather multiplies, given time and effort.

Great article, very well-written and informative! I'm so glad you were able to come out of these difficult experiences with a positive outlook.
Thank you for this insight. We have a blended family with six going on 7 children. I am all too aware of the elephant in the room and will use your article to help us gently discuss his presence. God bless you for sharing.
This article gives me insight into something I never experienced. My heart goes out to Carol, who lived it, then learned from it, and is now able to dissect it without acute pain. I will remember these thoughts and be more sensitive to the various circumstances of family life. Thank you, Carol, for sharing your wisdom born of pain.

With five children (ages 7 to 17) there were lots of misunderstandings! We will continue to seek God's word in growing our family and our marriage. Praise God for you and this ministry."

    <artifactId>resteasy-jackson-provider</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.14.Final</version>
</dependency>

A: I also hit this issue and found that it was caused by a mishandling of the META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers files when creating an Uber jar.
Full details can be found here, but the main problem is the files are overwritten by each other rather than concatenated so that if you have MessageBodyWriter's from multiple jars, only those from the last one are registered.  I was using gradle to build my uber Jar and solved the problem by adding the following:
shadowJar {
  mergeServiceFiles()
}

For maven, the maven-shade-plugin should also be able to handle this properly.

A: The message body readers are discovered automatically based on the classpath of your application(by default) or can be registered manually. Depending on the application server and deployment structure you use, the specific message body reader might not be available. Commonly used providers with application/json capabilities are  resteasy-jackson-provider, resteasy-jettison-provider. Verify that at least one of these is available in your classpath.
Also can you check that you have not disabled provider discovery in the web.xml?
 <context-param>
     <param-name>resteasy.use.builtin.providers</param-name>
     <param-value>true</param-value>
   </context-param>

If that does not help, can you provide more details on how you package your app, where do you deploy it, and some relevant configuration files?

The Veronica Scanner: Live 3D Portraiture
ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS, 2016
WADDESDON MANOR, 2016
A continuous thread in the story of visual art, from ancient Greek mythology to the rise of photography in the 19th century, is the desire to represent a subject's true likeness. As part of this story, Factum Foundation's sister company, Factum Arte, developed the Veronica Scanner which uses photogrammetry to record highly objective portraits. The Veronica Scanner was installed in two locations as the centerpiece of an interactive exhibition exploring 3D portraiture.
Around 1,000 people were scanned and nearly 10,000 visited The Veronica Scanner: Live 3D Portraiture; the result of a collaboration between the Factum Foundation, The Rothschild Foundation and the Royal Academy of Arts. It was hosted at the RA in early September and at Waddesdon Manor in late October, and was one of the most well attended exhibitions ever recorded at the Coach House Gallery at Waddesdon Manor.

Photogrammetry is an advanced 3D scanning technique where over-lapping photographs of an object are matched and processed into 3-dimensional form. In just four seconds, the Veronica Scanner's eight cameras capture 96 high-resolution photographs of the human head and bust from every angle, mapping even the finest surface details. These images are then aligned in specialised software to produce digital 3D models with colour information. These files can be 3D printed, which in turn can create highly detailed moulds to cast in a variety of materials.

The interactive exhibition was designed by RIBA award-winning architect, Charlotte Skene Catling and was envisioned a bustling futuristic workshop. Alongside scanning and processing members of the public, curated texts, historical artworks, and portrait busts in a variety of scales and materials produced with data from the Veronica - from 2-inch silver, to life-size chocolate, to a 1-meter-tall plaster bust - were displayed. 3D printers, provided by iMakr, and a wood carving KUKA robot, lent by the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), demonstrated contemporary rematerialisation techniques.

The display was supported by a curated exploration of 3D photography through the ages: the process by which art and science together have striven to perfectly capture and replicate the complexity of human features. Original artworks were kindly lent by Tomasso Brothers, London & Leeds. The result was a space where visitors were invited to engage with the exciting transformation of two-dimensional images into three-dimensional forms as well as notions of subjectivity in the perception of our likeness.

The Veronica Scanner is able to capture any facial expression in just four seconds. The rendering of extreme expressions is notoriously difficult to achieve in portraiture.

Capturing Reality's software, Reality Capture, was used on site to align the 96 photographs of each head, to produce the digital 3D models which replicate every feature of the face in intricate detail. Some of these models were materialised through subtractive (computer controlled wood carving) and additive (3D printing) processes and added to a growing display of busts produced with data from the exhibition. Each scanned visitor was sent their high resolution digital file in formats suitable for 3D printing and for viewing online. Some visitors went on to produce their bust in various materials including 3D printed resin, bronze and plaster.

At the second location in Waddesdon Manor, the project welcomed an exciting new addition thanks to iMakr: the ROKIT INVIVO Hybrid Bio Printer, a 3D printer capable of printing organic material and live cells. The Bio printer was presented to the public for two days, printing ears, noses and other body parts with data from the Veronica Scanner, in a skin like material. This was a rare opportunity to engage with the forefront of 3D printing technology as the printer is currently only available for research purposes. The Veronica Scanner was also modified to accommodate children, allowing for a richer database of faces and expressions.

Luke Combs to Play Halftime of Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Game
Billy Dukes Published: November 24, 2021
Luke Combs will be in Dallas for Thanksgiving. Country music's newest Entertainer of the Year is scheduled to perform at halftime during the Dallas Cowboys' home football game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The game starts at 4:30PM ET on CBS, which puts halftime at about 6PM, give or take 30 minutes.
As is tradition, the game will also be the annual Red Kettle Kickoff for the Salvation Army. In fact, it's the 25th annual Red Kettle Kickoff, meaning you can expect to begin seeing bell-ringers with their red kettles outside of major stores soon.
Combs has been spending considerable time in Dallas recently. Last Thursday and Friday (Nov. 18 and 19), he brought his tour to American Airlines Center. There, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott turned up backstage.
The Dallas Cowboys actually announced Combs as their halftime performer last week, supplying him with his own jersey as he crafted a video announcement. The earlier football game on Thanksgiving involves the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. Big Sean will perform at halftime during that game.
Southern University's Human Jukebox Marching Band will play halftime during the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints game on Thursday night (Nov. 25). Singer-songwriter Ne-Yo will sing the National Anthem in Detroit.
Combs grew up near Asheville, N.C., where the in-state football team is the Carolina Panthers. He's previously indicated that they're his favorite team, telling Audacy that the New England Patriots are his least favorite.
