Upon moving from Hamilton Air Force Base, Calif., to Travis AFB, Calif., on July 25, 1969, the Reserve Citizen Airmen of the then-349th Military Airlift Wing began flying the C-141 Starlifter, and thus entered the age of the jet engine cargo aircraft. For more than 37 years the men and women of the 349th worked tirelessly to hone their skills in the C-141 so that when they were called upon, they were ready for whatever lay ahead. From supplying the war efforts in Southeast Asia and the Middle East with troops and cargo, to bringing home the wounded, former prisoners of war and refugees, they served with spirit and steadfast commitment.

Nintendo Switch: What We Know Now

Love it or hate it, the Nintendo Switch reveal has the internet buzzing and gamers everywhere are talking about the capabilities of the new system and the long list of amazing games that are scheduled for release throughout 2017. Today, Nintendo released news that over 80 games are currently in development for the Nintendo Switch system and included an image with approximate release dates for the most anticipated titles. Click here to see trailers for the games Nintendo announced at their January 13th Switch Presentation.
For unfamiliar with the Nintendo Switch and what it does, here's a quick overview:
What is it? The Nintendo Switch is the latest video game console from Nintendo. It combines the power of a traditional home console with the portability of a handheld.
How does it work? The console bundle includes the console itself (which resembles a tablet device), a dock, and a Joy-Con controller. While the console is in the dock, games can be played on a normal television. The console can also be removed from the dock allowing games to be played on the go. The Joy-Con controller can be attached to the console for mobile gaming or attached to a provided grip and used like a traditional controller.
What are the system specs? The screen is a 6.2-inch multi-touch capacitive touch screen with a 1280 x 720 pixel display. It comes with 32GB of internal memory and allows for storage space expansion via microSDHC or microSDXC cards. Battery life is expected to be anywhere from 3-6 hours depending on software usage and playing conditions.
Does it allow online play? Nintendo has been criticized in the past for having a poor online service. To remedy this, they'll be introducing a new Nintendo Switch Online Service. The new service will be free when the system launches but will become subscription based sometime in Fall 2017. Exact dates and pricing information has not yet been released.
How does the online play compare to Xbox or PlayStation? Nintendo's online service pricing hasn't been revealed yet, however, most people expect it to be similar to the pricing for Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus which are both $9.99 per month. Unlike the Xbox and PlayStation networks, however, Nintendo's new online service won't have native voice chat. Nintendo has revealed that online lobby and voice chat will be handled by a smartphone app that users can download to their phone or tablet. Also, Nintendo isn't offering free games the same way that Microsoft and Sony do with their monthly subscriptions. Instead, Nintendo's subscribers will receive month-long demos of NES and SNES games which will change each month.
When is it coming out and how much will it cost? It's scheduled for released on March 3, 2017 for $299. The two available bundles include the console, a dock, the Joy-Con, a Joy-Con Grip, and two Joy-Con straps.

My name is Aaron D. McMaster. If you've never heard of me, it's probably because you're not a hot, busty woman. Most of the hot, busty women in the world are obsessed with me. I know what you are thinking, and you are right. It IS very frustrating to be unable to walk to the store for burritos without being mobbed by tons of hot, busty women trying to make-out with you. I was a 3 time member of the Rad Reader club in elementary school, a D.A.R.E. program graduate, and the only kid in my 5th grade class to eat a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich. In later years, my awesomeness was so concentrated that my high school was legally only allowed to put one photo of me in my senior yearbook. I even fell down at the skating rink and only cried for 20 minutes! I'm living the kind of life that most people only dream about.

If you donated money to Black Lives Matter, you might have been snookered
It was recently revealed that the largest social media group claiming to represent the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement was a total fake, and that the man who ran it collected more than $100,000 in donations that he reportedly kept for himself.
According to reports, the man's page, which on Facebook was simply named "Black Lives Matter," had almost 700,000 followers before it was identified as being fraudulent. Multiple money transfers that were made to private Australian bank accounts ended up becoming some of the first clues that something was not right with the page.
Both PayPal and Patreon immediately suspended the fundraising campaigns that were associated with the Facebook page, which quickly caught the attention of the media. Right around the same time, two other fundraising pages, Donorbox and Classy, removed their campaigns from the BLM page as well.
But the damage was already done at that point, and many BLM supporters are now wondering whether or not they, too, were bilked by this or potentially other similar scams. Since there's no way to really know who runs group pages on Facebook, including those categorized as advocacy or humanitarian, it's difficult to say where the money goes when people contribute donations.
"For at least a year, the biggest page on Facebook purporting to be part of the Black Lives Matter movement was a scam with ties to a middle-aged white man in Australia, a review of the page and associated accounts and websites conducted by CNN shows," reported CNN Money.
"The page, titled simply 'Black Lives Matter,' had almost 700,000 followers on Facebook, more than twice as many as the official Black Lives Matter page."
More money stolen by scammers? Thanks, Zuckerberg
While the unidentified culprit in Australia is technically to blame for this fiasco, one might argue that Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is equally complicit. After all, it was his company's absolute lack of oversight that allowed this impostor page to crop up and overtake the real one.
In fact, Facebook has never even bothered to establish any basic standards for verifying the legitimacy of large pages like this, including identity and location information for those that ask people for money or donations. It wasn't until Zuckerberg was summoned before Congress that Facebook has suddenly decided to implement some common sense standards.
But before all this Facebook maintained a "Wild West," anything goes standard that allowed pretty much anyone one with scamming skills to set up a page and use it to bilk money from people.
Interestingly enough, Facebook wouldn't have even taken the fake BLM page down, had it not been for the fact that it had already suspended one of the page's administrators, presumably for some other reason – and really only because of the media ruckus that ensued.
"Only after almost a week of emails and calls between CNN and Facebook about this story did Facebook suspend the page, and then only because it had suspended a user account that administrated the page," explains CNN Money.
"The discovery also raises questions about Facebook's commitment to change, and to policing its platform, even in the midst of its PR offensive leading up to Zuckerberg's testimony."
It should be pointed out that the official Black Lives Matter group had already previously contacted Facebook about the issue. Nothing was done about it, so CNN took matters into its own hands to try to get to the bottom of the issue.
It was later determined that the phony page had been consistently linking to websites tied to Ian Mackay, a National Union of Workers (NUW) official in Australia. A spokesperson for NUW told the media that it has since suspended Mackay, along with one other official, while it conducts an investigation into the matter.

A heath presents a more or less uniform type of formation. There is no zonation, save at the periphery of a region of wood (or scrub), and except where it is wooded it presents a series of dominant associations or societies, which can be studied on a broad basis, and mapped as in the case of moors and bogs. Apart from the lines formed by the extent of the Ling, Heaths, Furze, Broom, Whortleberry, etc, there are the lesser societies that endeavour in more open spots to maintain an existence. These should be carefully studied, as in the case of meadows and pastures, by staking out squares, and the plants counted, or put down on squared paper. The dominant plants in these cases should be noted, and their percentage estimated.
Where there is woodland, this should be studied as in the case of woods (Section IV). The influence of the tree growth on the heath types should be noted, as also the form of the wood or the alternation of wood and heath.
The openness and extensiveness of a heath makes it especially adapted to the study of the plants from the ecological point of view; for there are no barriers, and a base line for the squares to be studied can be laid down almost anywhere.
The particular conditions of soil, the effect of light, wind, etc., should all be studied in relation to the adaptations of the plants to meet the special conditions in each case. Advanced students may make pot cultures, make observations on the rainfall or light intensity, water-content, etc.

Known for the iconic role of Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was recently revealed via the Hollywood Reporter that Scarlett Johansson is set to make $15 million dollars for the solo Black Widow movie.
This is a pretty big paycheck for a solo film as Robert Downey Jr. earned a six-figure salary of $500,000 for Iron Man. Not to mention her paycheck is the same amount of money that both Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth earned for Avengers: Infinity War.
Compared to when she first appeared in Iron Man 2, it's a big leap to earn $15 million. It is also unexpected for Marvel to give this amount of money for a solo film. After numerous successes and six appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it isn't a complete shock for Marvel giving Johansson this big paycheck. If anything it seems well deserved from the success of her character and the movies she has been featured in.
Actors like Chadwick Boseman was reported to have earned around $2 million for Black Panther while Brie Larson earned $5 million for Captain Marvel. Keep in mind both are a part of contracts for movies set to come, meaning a big commitment. Marvel is confident in the amount of money they are giving compared to other studies from the success of previous films. We will just have to wait and see what to think of Black Widow.

Monstrous Vermin
By Richard Fernandez Aug 26, 2011 6:42 PM ET
What if one day you woke up to find that everything you'd been doing for years was illegal? Sorry, wrong novel. The one we want isn't Metamorphosis, but Franz Kafka's other work, The Castle, where the narrator fails to discover to the last what he had to do to receive approval from the Castle's bureaucrats. The protagonist K, deals with men whose powers are indefinite and who prohibit things for reasons that are never explained. Possibly they don't know the reasons themselves. The same sort of mystery surrounds the raid of the Gibson guitar factory. The Department of Justice wants to shut them down for a reason. Is it really sane to ask 'why'?
The ostensible reason given is that Gibson — but not other manufacturers who are — are using wood harvested in environmentally harmful ways from the Third World. Yet with permits from the foreign governments, the US Customs and the Forest Stewardship Council in hand, it is hard to know what more Gibson could have done before making the guitars. Except to stop making guitars. The WSJ provides the bare narrative.
Federal agents swooped in on Gibson Guitar Wednesday, raiding factories and offices in Memphis and Nashville, seizing several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. The Feds are keeping mum, but in a statement yesterday Gibson's chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, defended his company's manufacturing policies, accusing the Justice Department of bullying the company. "The wood the government seized Wednesday is from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier," he said, suggesting the Feds are using the aggressive enforcement of overly broad laws to make the company cry uncle. …
It isn't just Gibson that is sweating. Musicians who play vintage guitars and other instruments made of environmentally protected materials are worried the authorities may be coming for them next.
If you are the lucky owner of a 1920s Martin guitar, it may well be made, in part, of Brazilian rosewood. Cross an international border with an instrument made of that now-restricted wood, and you better have correct and complete documentation proving the age of the instrument. Otherwise, you could lose it to a zealous customs agent—not to mention face fines and prosecution.
John Thomas, a law professor at Quinnipiac University and a blues and ragtime guitarist, says "there's a lot of anxiety, and it's well justified." Once upon a time, he would have taken one of his vintage guitars on his travels. Now, "I don't go out of the country with a wooden guitar."
Why? Was it because Gibson was not a union shop? Did they offend some powerful interest in the administration? What more could they have done to get proof that their wood was legit? These are all just theories. To get answers to actual questions, Gibson might have to do what K did before the fictitious Castle: wait and wait and wait, and win a case in court only to discover that it changed nothing. The interesting thing is that Gibson Guitar CEO Henry Juszkiewicz may understand that he's never going to get a reply, and unlike K, is unwilling to wait indefinitely simply to get a notice that patience is not allowed. So he's taking his case to public, because maybe they can figure it out.
Patiently waiting isn't always the best strategy. In fact, Kafka wrote another story called Before the Law, in which he explained the dangers of patience. The story is a single a paragraph in length and you may read it at the link in five minutes. But here's the gist of it.
Basically the applicant in the story patiently waits before a gate for permission to enter The Law and is given reason after reason for not being allowed in "just now". He waits for decades and decades and when he is finally dying of old age he aks the gatekeeper why he was never permitted entry. And he wants to know why no one else was seeking entry at this imposing gate? The answer is unforgettable.
The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him, for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man. "What do you still want to know now?" asks the gatekeeper. "You are insatiable." "Everyone strives after the law," says the man, "so how is it that in these many years no one except me has requested entry?"
The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, "Here no one else can gain entry, since this entrance was assigned only to you. I'm going now to close it."
"This entrance was assigned only to you. I'm going now to close it."
How did Washington ever become so Kafkaesque? What process transpired in the historical night to make so many individuals wake up to find themselves transformed into monstrous vermin ruled by officials at golf course? And who can answer this mysterious question? If Juszkiewicz simply waits for an answer to when the DOJ decided it was illegal to manufacture a guitar, it might be like waiting for the last doorway to close, the one made only for him.

Moving Forward in the Community
By Richard Backus
Tags: April/May 2019, Richard Backus, Hit-and-Miss, The Cultivator,
One of the best – if not the best – aspects of collecting old engines is the people. When I was first introduced to the vintage engine hobby, I was completely out of my element. I had a solid background in car and motorcycle engines, but hit-and-miss engines? Not so much. Yet as soon as I was introduced to the old engine crowd, I discovered what an incredible resource of people of passion and capacity it contained, and I'm constantly reminded of my fortune in being a part of the community.
It's likely that most of you know little about our parent company, Ogden Publications. In addition to Gas Engine Magazine, we produce a number of enthusiast publications, covering subjects ranging from vintage farm engines to vintage farm tractors, classic motorcycles, self-sufficient living and homesteading, fermentation, and heirloom plants. All of our titles are defined and motivated by that same recognition and embrace of community, and we're committed to being active, positive members of those communities. Take Hank Will, our editorial director; when he's not commuting to work on his old Honda XL500, you'll find him cruising the fence lines on his rural farm where he practices small scale, alternative agricultural strategies, a driving passion in his life for as long as motorcycling has been in mine.
Publishing GEM and being a part of the old iron community is a unique opportunity that we don't take for granted. Moving forward, we're going to embrace our communities in a new way to better serve those audiences and make us more sustainable as a business in the process. Beginning sometime this year, we'll embark on a new mission where we no longer look at ourselves as just a magazine and events business (you probably didn't know we produce the Mother Earth News Fairs held across the country every year), but as a truly community-inspiring wellspring that feeds and is fed by an enthusiastic and engaged community of individuals.
Moving forward with us, you won't simply subscribe to GEM or one of our sister publications, you'll also get to choose membership in one or more of our communities. You'll still receive GEM in the mail just as you always have, so don't worry, nothing changes there. But for the same price of your subscription you'll also have full access to our soon-to-be-gated websites including exclusive member-only premium material such as fixed discounts on books and products in our online store, videos and podcasts, reduced entry fees to certain events and museums, and more, as we're still building the benefits list.
None of this happens without you, and the fact that we're here and moving forward with new models to build our communities is only because of your interest in being a part of the vintage engine scene. We'll have more details to share soon, but feel free to drop me a line with any thoughts or questions about the magazine or our future.

Q: will zero loss affect back propagation update Say I'm doing a standard DNN classification task, and I'm using the cross-entropy loss. After loss calculation, I apply a mask vector([0, 0, 0, 1, 1, ...] to the loss to set some of the loss to zero.
the question is how will Tensorflow handle this zero loss? Will it be involved in back propagation or not?

A: Yes, tensorflow will be able to handle this. The gradients leading to the masked loss values will then just be 0 because they did not influence the loss values.

A: Applying a mask to the loss of your model after you have calculated the actual loss essentially means that the zero elements of the gradient are omitted during backward propagation. For example, it is a very common approach to apply a mask vector to the loss when dealing with time series data, which is usually padded to have the same length. These extra zero values are of no use to your model when calculating your gradients and are therefore ignored.

adjustment was made for St. Croix, which was closer. Although the captain doubted the accuracy of the fuel gauge reading, he decided to descend in order to establish visual contact with the water. He also advised the purser that they were low on fuel, and to prepare the cabin for ditching. The purser made this announcement, and no other warning was given to the passengers prior to impact. The ditching site was confirmed on radar with the assistance of a PanAm flight that diverted for that purpose. Other fixed-wing aircraft orbited the area until the US Coast Guard, Navy, and Marine Corps helicopters began picking up survivors. Weather in the area during the rescue operation was estimated to be 400 to 500 feet overcast and visibility as low as three-eighths of a mile in rain. The aircraft sank in water more than 5,000 feet deep, and was not recovered.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was fuel exhaustion which resulted from continued, unsuccessful attempts to land at St. Maarten until insufficient fuel remained to reach an alternate airport. A contributing factor was the reduced visibility in the approach zone because of rain showers, a condition not reported to the flight. The Board also finds that the probability of survival would have been increased substantially in this accident if there had been better crew coordination prior to and during the ditching."
Distance from New York-John F. Kennedy International Airport, NY to Sint Maarten-Juliana Airport as the crow flies is 2694 km (1684 miles).

About Anime and Manga Studies
Highlighting New Publications – Interpreting Anime
categories: New Publications
Until recently, the options open to anyone looking for a general text on Japanese animation – one that could serve as a general explanation and summary, and an introduction to more in-depth approaches and readings – have been relatively limited. Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke, first published in 2000 and updated in 2005, certainly played this role at the time of its initial publication, but could it still do so almost twenty years later? The essay collection Cinema Anime: Critical Engagements with Japanese Animation (2006) was similarly important, but it too is now dated in many regards. Thomas Lamarre's 2009 The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation is a major contribution to anime studies – but it is by no means an introductory text. And somewhat despite its title, even the relatively recent Anime: A Critical Introduction is a more complex book than it may at first seem – as it is in fact an introduction to the critical debates and discussions around and about Japanese animation.
This is precisely why Interpreting Anime (University of Minnesota Press, 2018), is a such a welcome addition to the body of English-language scholarly writing on Japanese animation. The author, Christopher Bolton, is a professor of comparative and Japanese literature at Williams College, with a focus on Japanese science fiction in particular, and has been studying Japanese animation since the early 2000's. So, what exactly does Interpreting Anime add to the growing list of "books on anime", and, turning this question around, how it is actually useful, and to whom?
By "interpreting", Bolton specifically means the idea of "critical consideration" – the goal of the process is to "extract or generate new meanings…particularly meanings that speak to broader issues of politics, gender, technology, and media." More specifically, the purpose of the book is also to demonstrate how anime can be "interpreted" using a variety of specific critical approaches, among them structuralist analysis, phenomenological film theory, postmodernism and posthumanism, and queer theory. In a way, then, it is also an introduction to the approaches themselves. In addition, as Bolton notes, one more goal, given his own background in comparative literature, and following Jaqueline Berndt's call for a "broadly comparative perspective on manga", is to "juxtapose anime with a different comparison medium". This, then, will allow for examinations that lead to at least some answers to the question "what can anime do that other media cannot?" And if these goals are successfully achieved, readers can use the "lessons" of Interpreting Anime to inform their "creative engagement with any and all anime" going forward.
The process of actually meeting these goals is a short introduction, seven main chapters, and a conclusion. The title of each chapter (as well as the introduction and conclusion) actually specifically names the anime that it "interprets" – Read or Die, Patlabor 2, Ghost in the Shell, 3×3 Eyes, Millennium Actress, Blood: The Last Vampire, Howl's Moving Castle, and Summer Wars. Of course, this does not mean that the named anime is going to be the only title that is discussed in each – the Ghost in the Shell chapter covers both the first movie, and Innocence; the discussion of 3×3 Eyes is followed by a reading of Vampire Princess Miyu. It is also worth noting that five of the main chapters are based on materials that the author already published previously – but each one is significantly updated and expanded from the form in which it first appeared.
At the same time, equally important to the structure of Interpreting Anime is the specific approach or methodology that each of the chapters utilizes. So, the Akira anime is "read" alongside the manga, and alongside several major discussions of postmodernism in media as a notable example of a "Japanese postmodern". For his interpretation of Patlabor 2, the author draws on Vivian Sobchak's examination of electronic media, with a dream or potential for limitless possibilities, and a strong urge to ignore or just not consider limitations or costs or inevitable effects. Millennium Actress is interpreted using an approach grounded in queer theory – and a comparison with experimental theater, including a theatrical adaptation of the film. And for Howl's Moving Castle, the interpretation considers the similarities and the very significant differences between the original English novel and the Hayao Miyazaki anime.
So, with all of this in mind, where does Interpreting Anime leave us after its approximately 260 pages? Importantly, and hopefully, it leaves us aware of anime's limitations:
Comparisons between anime and other media invite us to consider what each of these media can and cannot do, what it it can and cannot represent. I cannot escape the limits language imposes upon me, any more than I can look into my own blind spot, stand apart from my own body, or speak outside my own voice; but by comparing different forms of language, we can at least beign to think about what those limits might be."
Interpreting Anime, p. 258
Bolton already readily acknowledges that many potentially interesting topics must necessarily be left outside the scope of this book – "a tradeoff between focus and coverage" – both in terms of the kinds of anime that it highlights, and the theoretical approaches that are utilized. In particular, as with most English-language scholarly writing on Japanese animation, the discussion primarily deals with theatrical films, not with the television series that make up the vast majority of Japan's animation production, although one of the chapters does consider Blood: The Last Vampire both as a thing in of itself, and as a component of the Blood franchise and media mix. And, thought the book was was published in 2018, the most recent anime it discusses is 2012's Blood-C: The Last Dark – this is inevitable, but still, unfortunate.
Still, though, why does Interpreting Anime exist – and, better yet, why it is worth paying attention to? To me, the explanation Prof. Bolton puts forth is actually very convincing:
For me, the reason to talk, write, or teach about anime (or any literary text for that matter) is to forge an encounter with other people across the language of that text – to touch and change and learn about each other. The more texts we have available to us and the more we have to say about them, the richer, the more nuanced, and the more creative these encounters will be.
– Interpreting Anime, p. 258
Interpreting Anime, then, is not solely, or even primarily, about the "passive" act of interpretation. Rather, and granted, potentially, it is an aid to another process, an active and ongoing one – of conversation. This, then, makes it particularly welcome for anyone who is interested in learning about these kinds of conversations, and about how to participate in them!
Ed. note: To promote the book, Prof. Bolton has prepared a full website for it – InterpretingAnime.org. This includes an in-depth table of contents, a teacher/instructor guide, a selection of review blurbs, and a book trailer

I commonly get the question, Why am I taking General Chemistry? It's in innocent question, because unlike the majority of my class, I don't need to take the class, my college career could come and go without me even setting foot in a Chemistry lab, or struggling through thermodynamics. However, I didn't want to let that happen, because Chemistry is fun, fascinating and useful, even for aspiring financiers like myself. For years, the world of business has ignored the value of interdisciplinary study, the value of the arts, social sciences and especially the natural sciences. As far as the fun part, I grew up watching the discovery channel, in elementary school Mythbusters was my favorite show, because I loved watching stuff explode/burn/self destruct and those are all things you get to do in Chemistry (abit in a more controlled, small scale way). In regards to fascinating, understanding how the world works on a molecular level is just amazing, for example now I know the origin of one of the two reasons cooks add salt to water (the other being flavor) for making pasta, and why it's a myth. Because of boiling point elevation, the boiling point of a liquid solvent (Water) will be higher when a solute (table salt) is added to it, meaning the pasta should cook faster, but after doing a little math, we see that it would take a much larger quantity of salt to make a meaningful difference on the boiling point. Lastly, how is chemistry useful in other fields, namely finance. Well, when you think about it there are many similarities, both involve ratios, formulas, conversions, data analysis, and the 'scientific method' (creating a hypothesis, 'testing' and revising it, etc.), it doesn't really matter if your 'hypothesis' is about a chemical reaction or about future stock price performance, the thought process is the same. For example (trying really hard to not be technical here), I own the shares of a foreign corporation, meaning I am directly impacted by changes in exchange rates, a concept that used to be very confusing for me, until I had an 'aha' moment that I could use dimensional analysis for this, the ratio of one currency to another is no different than the ratio of one unit of measurement to another. This concludes my lengthily explanation of why I am taking this class.
To start, after experiencing many failures in the past with online learning, I was pleased with my success in this course, I cannot point my finger at a particular aspect that enabled this success, but one aspect that I attribute to this was that I felt more connected with my peers and professors due to the use of the discussion forum and the eportfolio comments. Additionally, I learned more than I expected through the course, especially about how all of the disciplines come together, like how communications is so important for business, and how math is applied to political science. I also found the research tools module especially useful, since in college being able to use scholarly publications and cite sources properly is so important. In regards to goals for this year, I have a few, so here they are. I want to work on building both personal and professional relationships with people in school as well as in the community. I want to better understand the connections between every academic discipline and value the opportunity to learn even if the topic doesn't seem like something that is relevant or useful in my eyes, going along with that I want to see school as something more than just working hard and getting an 'A', I feel like that the end of my high school career became that, even though by nature I love learning, sometimes it becomes easy to fall into that trap and not see the personal value of education. Another goal of mine is to get involved with a volunteer organization, over the last five years I've been very active in my community, and want to continue giving my time and heart to a meaningful cause. Last but not least, I want to take better care of myself both emotionally and physically, because your health, like your relationships, and your education is priceless, and needs to be tended carefully. In regards to my longer term goals, they are listed on the introduction section of my page.
Lastly, although I enjoyed all of modules greatly, developed useful skills, and learned many fascinating things (Where else can you learn about everything from the Bermuda Triangle, to public relations nightmares, and preventing plagiarism in five weeks?) I have to give special mention to the math module, and the wonderful Professors Miller and Nurtaza, the experience and your comments were the highlight of this course for me. It is amazingly meaningful to have experts like yourselves affirm my talents and abilities in this area. All in all, I'm somewhat sad that it's over, but am very glad that I get to spend the next four years in such a wonderful scholarly community.
In this module, I have learned many skills that I believe will be helpful as a first-year college student and beyond. I have learned how to read a scholarly article for the purpose composing a accurate and quality summary, how to carry out an academic conversation with peers and professors on a discussion forum and through the resume assignment and developing my e-portfolio I learned how to write about myself in a way that accentuates my skills, experience, learning style, and passions.
I believe I have developed a better ability to modify my writing for different situations, ie. in a discussion forum, for professional correspondence, and within academia.
My e-portfolio shows that I am led by my goals, and driven to pursue my passions, but that I believe that expanding my knowledge in a wide range of disciplines is important to my future success both personal and professional. It also demonstrates my tendency to learn best visually.
My future goals in regards to writing at Pace and beyond include developing my general writing skills, understanding and executing writing for a variety of different situations/disciplines and being able to communicate my knowledge and opinions through writing.
Over the duration of the media and communications module, I have developed many skills that will be beneficial as a first-year college student. I have continued to develop my communication skills especially in regards to using a discussion forum within an academic context, and even learned how to respectfully disagree with peers in this setting. In regards to media literacy, I have learned about how when consuming media you need to be aware of the motivation behind the messages you are consuming, motivations that are often not clear and that are sometimes 'hidden'. Mass media does have quality information, information that is useful in academic and professional settings, but in order for one to use knowledge obtained from mass media, one must understand the motivations behind the production and distribution of the content.
This module taught me three major things about the field of Media and Communication Studies. Before I started, I thought communications was just journalism and broadcasting, I had no idea that public relations was a part of the field of communications. I also really expanded my idea of what media literacy is, and developed techniques to become a more literate consumer of media, like evaluating the motivation and independence of the content producer/distributor. Additionally, through the discussion forums, I got a better idea of how technology is changing the media landscape, from how we consume video, to how we experience advertisment.
Although I'm not interested in pursuing a career directly within the field of Media and Communication Studies, I know that there are skills within this discipline that I will utilize in my chosen field, especially the skills contained in the area of Public Relations, because no matter what you do it is important to convey a convincing message.
I believe I am a media literate student because when I consume media, I consider the motivations of the producer of the content, consider the reality that in the eyes of media companies I am both a 'product' (selling my 'eyes'' to advertisers) and a 'customer' (paying to view the content) and realize that media is a powerful tool for generating emotions (therefore I need to consider "Why am I feeling this way?", when consuming media).
Mathematics has played a major role in so many aspects of my life. For starters, I am an avid cook, and utilize math regularly through the cooking process. Just yesterday, I used math while cooking when I realized I didn't buy enough mushrooms(opps), and needed to figure out two things, how many servings of the recipe could I still make, and how much of the other ingredients would I need to keep the proportions right considering my lack of a sufficient quantity of mushrooms. By now, my use of math in the kitchen has become second nature and I am a better cook because of it. I also use math to keep track of my grades, and help me succeed academically. One example of this is last year when I was concerned about my grade in physical education and wanted to see how I needed to do on the rest of the tests to make sure I could keep a good grade in in the class, and used math to do this. I also use math when I'm buying music on iTunes and want to make sure that I'm buying as many songs as possible with my card, and leave as little money as possible left on my account.
As a finance major, and as someone who desires to pursue a career in that field, I envision math playing a major role in my career, and my academic path towards that career. I see myself using statistics to evaluate the risk present in a variety of financial instruments and utilizing mathematical modelling techniques to increase my understanding of historical and future real world financial events. I also realize the importance (especially in regards to finance and other areas where applied mathematics is used) of balancing the "art" with the "science", and seeing where the numbers fit with and backup qualitative observations.
Since math has played such a major role in my life, a role that has been apparent for quite some time, I can't really say that this experience was an "aha" moment for me, however this experience was one that confirmed my interest in the field of applied mathematics, as I greatly enjoyed the process of evaluating and testing different voting methods using a numerical approach.
After reading the article, A few aspects stood out to me. Like I noted in my final reflection, one of my goals this year was to learn for the sake of learning, not just to get a 'A', a very similar statement to Paul's in the article, where she says successful students "Pursue passion, not A's". Her call to "read and think actively" also caught my attention, because some of my most successful experiences have come out of making connections and being curious. I also liked her part on goal setting, and have been personally trying to improve my own goals using the S.M.A.R.T method, because in the past I have struggled with goal achieving. In conclusion her call to "find a way to contribute" just happened to be one of the goals that I created before reading this article, so I was pleased to know that it's something that she believes can contribute to success.
Thanks Rachel for posting your thoughtful final reflection. You are on your way to becoming a successful college student!
I like the way you organized your reflection in concise bullets and addressed each part of the promt in a direct manner.
Thanks for the reflection on the media and communications module. We appreciate your thoughtful reflection. Good luck come September and keep in touch.
Rachel, Great post on how math has been useful to you. My research has shown me that there is much work to be done in the area of mathematically assessing risk in financial markets, My belief is that "bad math" was at least partly responsible for the crisis back in 2008- a miscalculation of risk in mortgage backed securities. I hope you will work to find a better way!!
Rachel - great job on your ePortfolio! Hope to see you in the Library this fall.

Preview: Spassky Vs Fischer at Hampstead Theatre

Cold war tensions erupt as a chess game becomes a proxy battle between east and west ideology in Tom Morton-Smith's psychological thriller
The Cold War chess face-off between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer is dramatised in the world premiere of Tom Morton-Smith's psychological thriller at Hampstead Theatre. Ravens: Spassky Vs Fischer takes audiences back to Reykjavik, 1972 when global media attention on the 'match of the century' sparked a proxy battle of differing political ideologies. Ronan Raftery, whose screen work spans The Rook, Fresh Meat and Fantastic Beasts, takes the role of the Russian world chess champ squaring up to the American, played by His Dark Materials and Chernobyl actor Robert Emms.
Q How much did you play chess before this role and how have you prepared to play a World Chess champ?
A I knew nothing about chess beyond how the pieces move, so the first thing I did was create an online chess account and start playing. I still get routinely hammered by Ukrainian teenagers! It's been great learning more about the game, and apart from beginning to really love it, it's been incredibly useful for the show.
Q How will the production make such a cerebral game dramatically interesting?
A We are attempting to show all 21 games of chess between Spassky and Fischer without actually playing them out - marking them physically or musically. So having a better understanding of the game and what goes on as one player dominates or capitulates has been fascinating. (Director) Annabelle Comyn has a very clear vision as to as to how we dramatise it, using music, choreography, audiovisual cues, silence, 20 chessboards and few other curveballs.
Q It's set during the cold war, a fascinating time of East/West tension and yet we are still talking about Russian poisonings and interference in elections.
Does the play resonate in that way?
A Absolutely, Tom's writing feels like an energetic response to those sort of tensions, without ever beating us over the head with it. Much like the cold war itself, a lot of what is being fought over remains unsaid. While it's undoubtedly a political play, the primary focus is on the characters, how they operate and adapt to the bizarre circumstances surrounding the game they love above all else.
Q What are the challenges of playing Spassky and what challenges does he encounter? A Although he's the lesser known of the two, Spassky is a fascinating guy. He adored chess but hated being at the political centre of this global proxy war. The stress of representing the Soviet Union really unsettled him, not least because of the enormous pressure exerted on him from Moscow. He later described his years as world champion as the unhappiest time of his life. On the surface, he was a very even, level headed man, successfully burying his anxieties beneath an exterior of professional calm. So remaining true to that while allowing the audience to glimpse his inner turmoil is a fascinating challenge which I'm enjoying.
Q You have worked on a variety of projects from comedy to big budget movies and theatre, do you have a favourite job type and what brings you back to theatre?
A I don't have a favourite genre or medium, I'm attracted to good writing and brave directors. I've been pretty lucky to have worked with great scripts and directors in the past few years and this show is very much in keeping with that! I'm always wondering about the greener grass on the other side, so I've been dying to get back on stage in recent years, and once this show ends I'm sure I'll be itching to get in front of a camera.
Ravens: Spassky Vs Fischer runs November 29 to Jan 18 at Hampstead Theatre.

Wayne Bennett has been officially confirmed as the 2020 coach for the Queensland Maroons.
He will replace Kevin Walters, who resigned this week to take on the head coaching role with the struggling Brisbane Broncos.
Walters, who has two years remaining on his contract with Queensland Rugby League, said he would assist Bennett in preparing for the upcoming State of Origin campaign.
The first game will be played in Adelaide on November 4.
The 70-year-old previously coached the Maroons in the 1980s and early 2000s.
Queensland have not won the State of Origin since 2017.
Bennett, coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL, said he felt privileged to be given the opportunity.
"I love coaching Queensland and I'm extremely humbled to be invited to coach this team again, particularly in light of the challenging circumstances with Kevin moving on to coach the Broncos," Bennett said.
"I'm very proud and pleased that I'm still able to do it. State of Origin means so much to the people of Queensland.
"It's been a difficult year for many people and I just want to give something back if I can."

Bennett 'the right person' for Maroons
QRL managing director Robert Moore said Bennett's experience would be a great asset to the Maroons.
"Our people involved in the process to appoint the new coach all viewed Wayne as the right person when we took into consideration the unique circumstances we are now faced with," Mr Moore said.
"There's no doubt next month's series will present a range of new challenges due to the scheduling change and biosecurity protocols.
"Wayne has the necessary experience and he knows what it takes to win big games at representative level, for both state and country."
Game one of this year's origin series will be Bennett's 23rd game in charge of the Maroons.
He has won five of the seven Origin series he has coached and guided the Maroons to their first clean sweep in 1988.

Celebrating God's enduring fidelity
Church, Community, Congregation / March 20, 2021 May 6, 2021 / By Admin
We give honor, love, appreciation, gratitude and good cheers to our dear Sisters who celebrated the anniversaries of their religious profession on March 19, 2021, Feast of St. Joseph at the Sanctuary of the Queen of Apostles, Pasay City.
The Holy Mass at 4:00 in the afternoon was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Rollin Jean Marie Flores, Provincial Superior of the Society of St. Paul.
One of the celebrants, Sr. Gloria Felix, made a unique entrance marching along the middle aisle accompanied by the song "I'll Walk with God", while the rest waited near the altar on their wheel chairs. Before the final blessing of the Mass, Sr. Gloria gave a thank you message on behalf of the group.
The celebrants of the day were:
Sr. M. Assunta Labay – 70 years of religious profession
Sr. M. Rosalia Arcilla – 65 years of religious profession
Sr. Proserfina Dela Cruz – 65 years of religious profession
Sr. Gloria Felix – 65 years of religious profession
Sr. M. Joseph Estrada – 65 years of religious profession (in Boston, U.S.A.)
Sr. M. Fides Galipot – 65 years of religious profession
Sr. M. Benigna Cadawas – 60 years of religious profession
A simple merienda y cena at the FSP quadrangle, facing the MTMH house followed the Eucharistic celebration.
Looking back to the years that have passed so quickly, those days spent in religious life are a long period of mission and sacrifices, but also of graces and blessings from the faithful God; blessings for the celebrants themselves and their loved ones, relatives and friends, blessings for the Congregation and blessings for the Church. The celebrants, together with their departed co-novices, who celebrated theirs' in the heavenly homeland, have left their footprints in the sand of time, leaving us the lasting legacies of love, fidelity and perseverance. We thank God for His great mercy, His limitless love and fidelity. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, once again, dear Sisters!

Five Spanish tech startups to watch
ForceManager
Founded by Óscar Macià and Xavier Bisbal in 2011, Madrid-based ForceManager is aiming to bring salesforce management more effectively into the mobile era. It offers a cloud-based platform that enables sales staff, managers and directors to access all their relevant data in real-time, from wherever they are.
Features offered include the ability to manage accounts and contacts, monitor and analyse activity and set up automatic reports into sales activities. The company has native apps for Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Apple's iPad and iPhone.
The company says that its apps are aimed at getting salespeople to manage their time more effectively so they can concentrate on selling.
Essentially, what the company says it's doing differently is flipping traditional salesforce management on its head - instead of the sales agent taking time out of their schedule to produce reports, metrics are automatically collected and presented to the agent and manager.
The company has raised around €3.3m in funding including a May 2014 investment from Nauta Capital.

Intelliment Security
Intelliment Security began life back in 2007 as a research project at the University of Seville before being spun-off into its own business, headed up by Sergio Pozo and Eduardo Fernández.
The company offers what it calls software-defined security policy management — an abstract and intelligent control pane where security policies are automatically pushed out across the network without the need for human intervention. This, the company says, can replace inefficient one-by-one manual configuration changes that need to happen following one single security policy change, leading to fewer errors.
Intelliment is a great example of a startup that identified a weakness — in this case security policy management — and set about creating a solution to that problem. It is similar to software-defined networking in that the intelligence is shifted to a centralised management system. This means disparate security systems, irrespective of which vendor supplied them, can be managed from one place.
Intelliment Security has pulled in venture funding from Caixa Capital Risc and Institut Català de Finances.

Logtrust
Formed in 2011 by Pedro Castillo and headquartered in Madrid, Logtrust says its aim is to "democratise real-time big data tools", meaning it aims to collect, analysis and visualise data in real-time. Its cloud-based big data analysis tool pulls together machine data and system and user information to offer security intelligence, business monitoring, compliance and management capabilities.
The company says it treats all information like a database and presents visualisations of large datasets in real-time. It also offers what it calls an 'intelligence sharing' platform, where users can share their information with other customers.
This "democratisation" of big data that Logtrust talks about is what marks this company out as one to watch. Instead of being aimed at IT departments, Logtrust aims its technology squarely at end-users. It offers its data visualisation tools via a website that users can access on a pay per use basis, so they do not have to go to their IT department to get insight from their data.
Its social element is also interesting, encouraging users to share insights, issues and anything else they may find interesting with the wider community.
The company has raised €2.2m so far.

Another company founded in 2011, this time by Oscar Maire-Richard. Madrid-based Prot-On specialises in document encryption. It says its technology enables enterprises to protect all copies of a file, control who has access to the file and track document usage, such as who has accessed the file.
Prot-On doesn't store the files itself, which is an important point to note, but instead integrates with the likes of Google Drive and Dropbox and just about any other document sharing or management platform individuals and companies are likely to use.
Speaking at the Spain Startup South Summit this month, Maire-Richard said the recent release of intimate photos, stored in iCloud , of hundreds of celebrities could have been avoided with Prot-on, as whoever stole the photos would not have been able to access them.
It's the completeness of the coverage that draws attention to Prot-on's product. Managers of a document can control who can open it in read-only mode, who can edit it, print it, copy it and manage it, and from where they can do it, such as a Windows desktop or Android smartphone.
It offers a Free version for home use, a Premium edition for €99 per year, and a Corporate edition that includes the ability to manage users' access, create work groups and more in-depth reporting.
It has raised €1.1m in funding so far.

Signaturit
It may not be the sexiest technology around, but the ability to quickly, securely, and legally sign a document from any device and any location is something businesses across the world would be interested in. Founder Juan Zamora is another example of someone who was frustrated at the lack of tools on the market that did what he required, so he set out to create one.
Founded in May 2013, Signaturit is the result. The technology enables users to electronically sign documents from their mobile device, ensuring a document is legally binding. The platform also offers real-time reports on the status of a document.
The Enterprise package offers company branding, API integration for signing lots of documents and dedicated support. All data is encrypted and every document has a timestamp, so both parties know when a document was signed and that it has not been altered.
It's worth pointing out that Signaturit is not an app, and it doesn't require anything to be downloaded on to the mobile device for it to work; it instead it hooks up to the sender's email server or platform. All a sender needs to do is add .signatur.it at the end of the recipient's email address and they will receive a prompt to sign the document, either via a pre-saved signature or through writing it with a stylus or finger.

If you hear this term, your doctor could be talking about many things, from a polyp in your colon to a tumor. An abnormal growth can be benign, which is cancer-free. Or it may be malignant, meaning it has cancer cells. It can also be "precancerous" -- it could turn into cancer.
A treatment you have in addition to your main treatment to lower the chances of the cancer coming back. Sometimes, your doctor will recommend something before your main treatment to help make it more effective. That's called neoadjuvant therapy.
In order to grow and spread, cancer needs a blood supply. These specially designed drugs stop new blood vessels from forming and carrying blood to the tumor. The drugs may not kill the tumor, but they could stop the cancer from moving to other parts of your body.
A medicine that helps prevent or ease queasiness and vomiting, common side effects of some cancer treatments. Your doctor may prescribe more than one drug. It's usually pills taken right before or after your treatment. If you're in the hospital, you may get the medicine directly in a vein.
A treatment that uses a product made from a living source, such as human or animal cells or a microorganism. Some types attack specific cancer cells. Others affect your immune system (revving it up or making it less active) or ease some cancer side effects. Biologic therapies include immunotherapy, gene therapy, and certain targeted treatments.
Your doctor may order a test to look for certain substances in your blood, other body fluids, or tissues. What he's searching for are called biomarkers or tumor markers. They're usually made by cancer cells. They can help your doctor figure out the best treatments for you, how you're responding to treatment, or if your cancer has spread or come back.
A small sample of tissue or cells your doctor takes from you to look at under a microscope. He might use a needle (the size depends on what part of your body is getting the biopsy) or a thin, flexible tube designed to hold special tools. The procedure usually hurts very little since he'll numb the area first.
This type of radiation treatment gets put inside or very near a cancerous tumor. Your doctor will use tools such as needles, seeds, or wires to put the radioactive material in the right spot. You may also hear this procedure called implant or internal radiation therapy.
A substance that can raise your odds of developing cancer. There are many. Tobacco smoke is one example. So are asbestos and ultraviolet sunlight. The likelihood you'll get cancer because you were around a carcinogen depends on many different things, including how long you were in contact with it as well as your genes.
You've probably heard of this cancer treatment. It kills cancer cells or stops them from growing using strong medicine -- one drug or a combination of them. You usually get "chemo" as an outpatient at a hospital or clinic or in your doctor's office. It's usually injected, but sometimes chemo drugs are swallowed or put onto your skin.
Doctors use research studies to gather data about how new medicines or treatments work in specific groups of people. Some trials look at how well new ways of diagnosing or testing work. The studies can last several years, and they have strict controls.
After you've finished your main leukemia or lymphoma treatment and tests don't show any cancer in your body, your doctor may recommend more treatment to kill any lingering cancer cells. Chemo and radiation are two examples of this.
The time between the start of one round of treatment, like chemotherapy, and the start of the next round. The break lets your body rest and recover.
A word that ends with "-ectomy" refers to surgery that takes out some or all of a body part. For example, in a mastectomy, the surgeon removes breast tissue. An oophorectomy takes out an ovary. A nephrectomy removes a kidney. As a cancer treatment the surgeon will remove cancer cells along with some or all of the body part.
A description of how a tumor looks under a microscope. This will give your doctor an idea of how quickly the tumor may grow and spread. That, in turn, helps him plan your treatment. Low grade means the cells have changes that suggest they're slow-growing. High-grade tumors may spread more quickly. Different cancers have different grading systems.
Some cancers, like breast or prostate cancer, need certain hormones to grow. This treatment blocks those hormones or changes the way they act in your body. It may slow or stop cancer from spreading, ease your symptoms, or help prevent the cancer from coming back. It's usually used with other treatments. You may get injections or take pills at home, in your doctor's office, or a clinic or hospital.
This generic term refers to several tests that take pictures of your body's organs and structures. One example is a mammogram, which uses X-rays to look for breast cancer. Other technologies use a magnetic field or radio waves. Tests include CT, MRI, PET scan, and ultrasound.
The process of giving a dose of chemotherapy, which can last hours. The drugs usually go directly into a vein. So you don't have to get stuck with needles over and over, you'll probably get a flexible tube called a catheter put through your skin, or a small disc called a port put under your skin. These hook up to an IV tube. They won't be taken out until your treatment is done.
Swelling in your arms or legs can happen when fluid builds up. It's possible after your lymph nodes are damaged or removed as part of your cancer treatment. Lymphedema can't be cured, but you can take steps to manage it.
Sometimes cancer spreads from one part of the body to another. For example, cancer that started in the lung can spread, or metastasize, to the liver, bones, or brain. Those cancer cells will be the same as the ones in the lung, not like cancer cells that started in the new body part.
These drugs use your immune system to fight cancer. They bind to the surface of cancer cells or specific immune system cells so your body can do a better job of finding and stopping the cancer. They can also help radiation and chemo treatments target cancer cells and avoid healthy ones.
A condition where your body doesn't have enough infection-fighting white blood cells. It can be a side effect of cancer treatment.
The ending "-oma" means tumor or swelling, and the first part of the word tells you what kind of cell it's in. For example, carcinoma is a cancer that starts in your skin or the lining of your organs. Sarcomas begin in connective tissue like bone, fat, and blood vessels. Lymphoma and myeloma are cancer in your immune system. Glioblastoma is a tumor in the central nervous system.
The branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Cancer doctors are called oncologists. They may specialize in different ways to treat cancer.
A system of support and comfort to improve your quality of life. It brings together experts in different fields to help you with pain and symptom management, and the mental, emotional, and spiritual effects of cancer. It can begin as soon as you're diagnosed and continue throughout your treatment, as well as afterward and if the cancer comes back. It also includes end-of-life care.
A detailed plan for treatment based on guidelines accepted by experts. "Protocol" could also refer to a clinical trial. In that case, it will outline things like who is eligible, how data will be collected, and the goals of the study.
This common treatment uses energy like X-rays and gamma rays to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. Sometimes a machine will direct radiation from outside your body toward the cancer. Or your doctor may put radioactive needles, seeds, or wires inside you near the cancer. You could get radiation as your only treatment or as part of a treatment plan with other therapies.
The symptoms of cancer have disappeared, and your tests are negative. It doesn't mean you're cured because the cancer may still be in your body, and it could come back. Remission can be partial or complete, depending on whether or not all traces of cancer have gone.
Different cancers have different staging systems.

Travel pillows have become an important aspect of a comfortable trip. Whether you're taking a flight or simply hitting the road, you'll find them handy for catching some sleep in otherwise awkward positions.
But with so many travel pillows on the market, finding the perfect one for you can be cumbersome. Because not all travel pillows are created equally – there are many different designs created to suit the needs of different travelers, and they come in many different shapes, sizes, weights, and filling.
With so many things to consider when choosing a travel pillow, we've put together five tips to help you find the best one for you.
Choosing the wrong luggage for a trip leaves you with a cumbersome problem – you can't just take it home and switch it! But there are so many types of bags available these days, that making an informed decision can be the most difficult part of your trip!
The most important thing to remember is that different types of luggage will be suitable for different types of trips. So in this article we've broken down four popular styles of travel, and the type of luggage that is best suited to that trip.
When traveling, the luggage you have can spell a great time or a tiring time. You don't want to spend the whole of your vacation lugging around a broken suitcase because the wheels snapped, or it couldn't handle the weight of all your clothes and things.
Traditionally, shoppers have gone to the mall or department store to buy their luggage, and been able to physically inspect a bag before making a purchase. But with the growing trend of buying online, less and less people are making the physical trip.
It's certainly a lot easier and more convenient to do your shopping online, however make sure you keep the following points in mind to ensure you get your money's worth.
Your luggage is your most important travel essential. But there are so many types of bags available these days, that making an informed decision can be the most difficult part of your trip!
The most important thing to remember is that different types of luggage will be suitable for different types of trips. So don't fall into the trap of thinking any bag will do, because you just need something which will transport your things.
The right bag should fit with your travel preferences. So the following are things to consider when choosing the best suitcases, bags and carry on luggage which matches your style and needs.
The Best Cheap Sunglasses for Travel: Spend More on Travel and Less on Material Things!
Travel is an incredible experience. The sense of freedom is exhilarating as you escape the confinements of your job and monotonous everyday. But unfortunately travel can be just as expensive as it is exciting.
Of course you want to look good as you wander the streets of Paris, or relax on the beach in Phuket, but purchasing high-end designer labels can really eat away at your travel budget, and less budget usually means eating ramen noodles out of a youth hostel!
So we're in favor of ditching the designer for the destination, and thoroughly enjoying your travel experience. There have been many experiments conducted that prove spending money on experiences instead of things result in more overall happiness. And a great place to start is with your sunglasses.
Travel is the perfect opportunity to sport fun looks and trendy styles. But when traveling for business, it can be tricky keeping up with the latest trends while still maintaining professionalism. It also depends on the industry you're in.
Whatever your business is, bonding with colleagues, engaging in business meetings, and impressing clients is a part of all business travel. In order to make a good impression, you have to look good from head to toe.
Choose a suitcase that compliments your style and makes you look put together. From mid-century to sleek, here are some of our favorite catalog finds and brand favorites specifically for trendy business travel.
Dear Female Travelers: Reasons Knix Is the Greatest Travel Underwear You'll Ever Own!
If you're anything like me, you get a headache when it comes to understanding the specs of today's cameras. I try my hardest to watch YouTube tutorials in an effort to become wiser, but end up frustrated and feeling as though I am that single kid in the back of the class that just doesn't get it.
Yes I want a camera that records good images and video, I am after all a travel blogger who needs to share my experiences with the world. My goal, however, is to inspire others to travel, not to enter photo competitions or create the next Academy Award winning masterpiece.
We've all become so programmed to think we need to keep up with the crowd by shelling out hundreds if not thousands of dollars on the latest well known name brand camera equipment. But there comes a stage where you wonder if we really need all these new fancy camera features and if so, does it really have to cost us an arm and a leg to get it?
Personally, I've gotten to the stage where I would rather spend more on adventure travel and less on action camera's.
