7 High Heel Inserts and Insoles were ranked. These 7 foot comfort products were chosen because they are 1. marketed specifically for high heels with a 2 inch heel or higher heel and are 2. designed to add comfort to high heels by holding back the foot from sliding forwards thereby decreasing pressure on the ball of the foot.
The ranking pattern from best to worst - #1 to #7 - is directly aligned with high heel cushioning that feels softest and fits best. When is comes to cushioning her foot in high heels women want a soft cushion that can be custom fitted to her unique foot in both arch height and foot length. Any deviation from that ideal leads to negative reviews of the high heel shoe cushion brand because the insert or insole does not work to provide comfort like it is supposed to.
Negative reviews also result from problems directly created for the foot by poorly designed insoles that do not function as well in reality as they do in theory. All the inserts and insoles functioned as designed for some women, therefore all the foot comfort products had at least one positive 5 star review from a customer. The ranking is a result of looking at ratios of positive to negative reviews without regard to the numbers of reviews.
The best foot cushions, ranked #1 and #2 are soft underfoot and will fit any arch height. Both #1 and #2 are made from soft PORON foam and neither have material in the arch area that is intended to be weight bearing therefore there are no issues with regard to the arch for either. The #1 ranked inserts can be fitted to any length of foot, whereas the #2 ranked insoles do not fit all lengths of feet. The #1 ranked inserts do not crowd the foot due to the narrowing of the inserts at the front end and help add comfort by stopping forward slide of the foot. The #2 ranked insoles are wider under the toe area crowding the forefoot for some wearers plus allows the foot to slide forward causing discomfort to the toes.
Gel 3/4 insoles are ranked in the middle range in comfort at rankings #3, #4 and #5 . Gel is softer and squishier than resin insoles so they will mold better to the contours of the foot. The gel insoles that were the most malleable fit the best and ranked the highest. Gel insoles are comfortable throughout a wide range of arch heights due to their soft gel malleability but they are not as soft underfoot and do not rebound or absorb shock like inserts and insoles made from PORON foam. Gel insoles don't hold the foot back in some instances due to their slippery surface and their adhesive letting go from the insole. Gel insoles are a fixed length therefore they are too short to cushion the ball of the foot adequately for many women.
Gel insoles that are made from soft gel and can be positioned more flexibly, such as at rank #3, were ranked higher than harder gel insoles, at rank #4, or insoles at rank #5, that had hard gel ridges to stop forward slide but the ridges could not be fitted into a comfortable position.
The worst high heel insoles, ranked at #6 and #7, are made out of hard resin. They fit the poorest of all the insoles into the arch area of the foot. The design of the resin insoles is such that if they do not fit well at the arch they cannot provide comfort in the ball of the foot area. The resin insoles are designed with a dome of resin that is supposed to fit snugly under the arch of the foot making the arch carry some weight of the wearer. Some weight of the wearer is to be carried by the heel. The weight that is carried by the arch and the heel is supposed to relieve pressure from the ball of the foot. In this insole design the ball of the foot area does not need a cushion under it because in theory all, or most the weight of the wearer is borne by the arch and the heel. The resin insoles ranked at #6 has more sizes than the lowest ranked resin insoles at #7 rank, however neither of the resin insoles provided the level of comfort or customized fit that products made from PORON foam or gel provided. Resin insoles also created many more problems for wearers than any of the other styles of inserts or insoles lowering their ranking due to negative reviews about the problems that were created.
Many problems of the resin insoles originated with the fit of the arch. If the dome part of the hard resin insoles does not fit the arch exactly the insoles don't work. If the dome is too high for a low arch there will be pain caused by upward pressure under the arch. If the dome of the insole does not touch a high arch the insoles become useless for providing foot comfort because the insoles cannot hold the foot from sliding forwards or relieve pressure off the ball of the foot. The combination of not functioning as designed and the additional problems directly created by the resin insoles gives them the worst and second from worst ranking.
The study summarized in the photo is based on a synthesis of published *verified buyer reviews for 7 products currently sold for high heel comfort on Amazon. (the complete texts for synthesis are reproduced in 'Resources Used ' in the last several pages of this blog. Customer reviews data was collected Sept. 20, 2018) Ranking is from #1 BEST to #7 WORST , according to ratios of 5 stars to 1 star reviews. The products have varying amounts of reviews. The reviews are analyzed by ratios, not by volume. Reviews are all from years 2016-2018.
- by far the best (inserts), the spring back feature of the Poron, makes it so that when you take a step you get the right amount of gentle support - -great when you are wearing heels for a long time, keep my feet from sliding in my shoes –love these !
Material : Resin Shoes: For 1 inch and higher heels.
Products with the least negative issues for users are from brands Killer Heels Comfort and Foot Petals. These two products are the most customizable and are made from soft rebounding material which is comfortable underfoot. The two products ranked as 1 and 2 are made from PORON, which is a resilient material that moulds to the foot and never flattens. PORON also has a non slip surface which helps stop forward slide of the foot. The product that is the most customizable by the user is Killer Heels Comfort inserts for high heels. These inserts for high heels are in two parts that can be custom fitted to any foot length and has raised sections to physically stop the foot from slipping forward. The product by Foot Petals of Women's Killer Kushionz Insoles is made of a flat piece of PORON. It is soft and cushions the foot. A flat PORON insole will stop some forward slide because the surface has some grip and does not get slippery when damp. Users complained that the Foot Petals product broke apart in use, is thin and that it did not stop all forward slide.
The gel high heel insole products rank in the middle, in positions of 3,4, and 5. Gels are materials with softness and give. The Dr Scholls and the Envelop insoles have a fixed length that can only be positioned with the heel of the insole at the heel of the foot. This may leave the ball of the foot without cushioning because the ball of the foot part falls short of the wearers ball of foot. Some users complain about this. Of the three gel insoles the Envelop insole, made of silicone gel, appears to provide a more positive user experience than Dr Scholls or Amope and is ranked as number 3. Users say that the silicone gel material is thin so it adds comfort without crowding the foot. . The Amope product is a half insole that fits into the forefoot area of a shoe. There appears to be reported fitting problems related to proper positioning of the insole and positioning of the ridges that are supposed to fit against the front of the ball of the foot. Amope is ranked 4th by the users out of the 7 products analyzed.
The most problematic shoe cushioning products for high heel shoes over 2 inches are Insolia Insoles. These were ranked 7th . The second from the bottom at rank number 6 are Vivian Lou insoles. Insolia and Vivian Lou make high heel insoles from a clear resin material which users found to be hard. The insoles made by Insolia and Vivian Lou cannot be custom fitted by the user. The combination of an insole made from a relatively hard material, and little ability to custom fit the insole to the user's feet, makes customers have negative experiences with both Insolia and Vivian Lou products. This ranks them as numbers 6 and 7 out of a group of 7. According to user experiences with Insolia insoles the chances of a having a bad or negative experience with these is greater than the likelihood of having a positive experience. Customers who bought Vivian Lou insoles had only slightly more positive experiences.
According to buyer feedback Insola and Vivian Lou products work exactly as they are supposed to according to some buyers. The results of experiences for these two insoles are very polarized. Some people love them and some people hate them. People who love them may be people who happen to have the perfect arch shape for the product. But for a person who has a low arched foot the insoles raised area may push painfully into the underside of the arch of the wearer when the wearer's weight is placed on it. Conversely for a person with a high arched foot the raised area of the insole may not even touch the underside of their foot, making the insole useless for carrying the wearers weight or to keep pressure off the ball of the foot. Wearers at both extremes of arch height and configuration said as much about their experiences.
The reviews - and the stars received by each product - are available in their entirety as public information on the internet. No material has been added. The Discussion is based entirely on information from reviews. The order of the brands information is presented as listed above.
these worked well. I danced most of the evening without pain, these really saved me, no pain at all.
Work well –can finally walk comfortably in high heels!
hard as a rock, very uncomfortable.
arch supports feel weird and uncomfortable on my flat bottomed feet.
my feet feel great. It's now noon and I'm going strong. I've worn these shoes only once before and couldn't make it all day.
It adds some extra padding under the ball of your foot and makes heels more bearable. You can even wear them with open toe heels, since they are relative small.
long wedding day, my feet were happy until the end. Highly recommend.
they work as described. I can wear my heels for hours without any discomfort. Highly recommended!
put the inserts in my 2 1/2 inch heels for a party and I wore my heels all night (over 4 hours) with no discomfort at all!
I followed the directions but these gel packs feel like big bumps in your shoes no matter how you juggle them to find the right placement. I tried them in several shoes but same results. Waste of money.
too small, not what I expected it too be and not for heels.
This item is highly over-priced and not as good as the insoles that are less than a dollar.
Thought the extreme high heel ones would be even better - they aren't. They only have cushion on the ball of the feel and has a toe ridge that is hard to get perfectly align to the space between the ball of the foot and toe.
Envelop's gel insoles for high heels are made of extra-thick silicone gel for all-day comfort and pain relief.
The silicone construction absorbs shock.
Transfer the insoles between all your high-heeled shoes.
Added a decent layer of cushion and support. Ball of foot is comparable to a pair of Dr. Scholl's inserts I had in the past. Arch is higher.
they provided support comfort for the whole foot.
Just what I needed for shoes that were just a tad too big. Also love the arch support.
Perfect for keeping toes from pain in higher heels.
Helped fill the extra space in my high heels due to very narrow feet.
Wonderful insoles for any women who wears heels.
If the inserts fit, or even if they are a bit short they add comfort without adding bulk for most people who report liking them.
They aren't sticky enough, big enough, and your feet slide around too much.
my feet feels numb after a while.
Too small, don't have any value.
feet still pretty much hurt after wearing heels.
too short and too thick to use in my very average size 7.5 heels.
arch supports seem to stick up in the wrong spot. They do provide cushioning though.
put more pressure on my bunion.
-have tried many inserts over the years and these are by far the best. The material is soft but the spring-back feature of the PORON makes it so that when you take a step, you get the right amount of gentle support.
-as a picky customer with a fondness for heels, I have to carry around various products to adapt to changing conditions within the same day.
- these inserts are truly wonderful! They are like walking on air, and I had no pain on the ball of my foot when wearing (kitten) heels on cobbled streets in the heat, in new shoes.
-they are bouncy, and most importantly really do mitigate slide to the front of the shoe.
-these inserts are great. The insert is super soft. They really helped with cushioning my feet, which is great when you are wearing heels for a long time! They also helped keep my feet from sliding in my shoes.
-love these! I can't believe how much better my heels feel! Will reorder when needed.
-they really work as advertised. Will certainly tell everyone and will be a buyer for life!!
I put a pair of these foot petals on the sandals, and now not only did it stop the slipping, my feet are much more cushioned than before! I have only worn the sandals with these in them for a day, but I think these are great!
They make a hard shoe feel soft without adding bulk.
These really REALLY made a difference, the balls of my feet didn't ache. I mean, they're not magic, I still had to take a load off every now and then, but they helped!
They do help with some killer heels I have.
All my shoes including designer ones have the petals in them.
never fail to make my shoes fit right & feel comfortable!
Amazing they make such a difference!
They work like I hoped they would. Now my feet don't slide down to the toe.
if you don't want your feet sliding forward in your shoes. They really work! I have them in almost every pair of my higher heels/sandals. Great buy!
I needed something to keep my feet from sliding forward in a pair of high-heeled sandals. These did the trick.
Not as cushioned as I expected.
The staightness of them makes them less versatile than the Tip Toes by Foot Petals which I absolutely swear by.
Too narrow for shoes, but they do the trick.
curled up around my toes in my shoe, driving me absolutely crazy. Had to take my shoe off to not only wrestle the insert flat, but to reposition it several times over.
After 4hrs of standing, walking and dancing at a wedding, the adhesive on the petals were gone and the petal was sliding out of my shoes.
they did make my high heels "better"; but I won't say they make my high heels as comfortable as my sneakers, flats, or shoes with less than 2 inches tall.
insoles are way too thin and provide absolutely no cushion.
I do get some relief for the ball of my foot but not as much as I had hoped.
increased the discomfort in my shoe by being too thin and pushing my foot upward and forward, causing me to get blisters.
* Adjusts the pitch of feet in shoes.
* Shifts weight off the ball of the foot.
* Stops feet from slipping forward. * Improves ankle stability.
* Decreases strain on legs, back, hips + knees.
Wear shoes 4x longer without pain. * Ideal for 1 inch and higher heels.
Insolia Heels work by shifting weight from the ball of the foot back to the heel by causing the large heel bone, (Calcaneous), to rotate slightly back, this causes the force that would normally slide down to the balls of your feet, to remain back at the heel, and the pressure on your forefoot is reduced.
Actually worked - I could feel the difference! It truly shifts the weight to the heel from the ball of your foot. I was able to dance in my heels all night!
DOES NOT work at all. It feels no different than not wearing it.
I used these in my boots and noticed no difference whatsoever.
not sure they do everything promised. They are alright but definitely don't meet all their claims.
.invisible Resin Our clear resin material is impossible to see in any shoe - it's perfect for open-toe shoes and strappy sandals.
Slim Design Unlike 3/4 insoles, our insoles measure less than 7 in. long and .5 cm thick. Nothing goes under the forefoot to crowd your toes, make the shoes feel tight or push your foot out.
Precise Sizing The insoles accommodate shoe sizes 4 to 12, they are not one-size-fits-all because neither are shoes. The insoles are available in P, S, M and L.
Staying Power Our patented resin material doesn't wear down like gel or foam padding. And, are permanently adhered to the shoe so they don't slip out of place.
Good For Knees, Hips, and Backs Too By shifting weight to the heel, our insoles straighten posture, improve ankle stability, and significantly reduce strain on knees, hips and back.
these really did reduce stress on my feet.
when standing I was able to notice the difference in my toes (I could tell they weren't carrying a lot of the weight).
Less foot pressure when standing in heels for a long time!
3-4 hours before I felt any discomfort!
These do what they say they do. They work but, when your feet starts to sweat then the slip doesnt really help anymore.
Need them for the shoes that may put a little more stress on my feet - they are perfect!
Danced in my 4 inch heels for a couple hours with no pain!
found I could stand longer but still needed to take breaks to relieve the pressure.
inserts did absolutely nothing. You don't even feel them in your shoe. They do not shift your weight. They do NOTHING.
wore these for an hour,it didn't really make a difference after standing for a while the ball of my feet were hurting.
I had worn stilettos a few days prior without the product for comparison and it had the exact same result.
Don't believe the hype of the 'scientific research' They don't work.
my feet were in pure pain & numb all day & night.

Bernar Venet is a French conceptual artist and has his works displayed around the world. After Bernar Venet completed his military service he began to explore art by working with tar as paint and using coal to create sculptures. He later ventured into using cardboard to make sculptures and his exhibits were placed alongside New Realists and Pop artists work in the Salon Comparaisons in Paris.
In the mid-1960's Bernar Venet was influenced by the trend in using typical, simple and massive forms in sculptures. He also became interested in how mathematics and logic could be incorporated into their shapes. Bernar Venet would take several years to put his ideas into art forms. He spent time teaching as he entered a period of retrospection.
By the 1980's Bernar Venet was beginning to develop logical lines in his art work and also composed, imagined and choreographed designs and costumes for the production of Graduation, the ballet. He has worked in many mediums; painting, sculpture, music composition, film, photography and the performing arts.
Bernar Venet's most famous designs; however, were created in the 1990's with his pieces, Indeterminate Lines series, the Arcs, Angles and Straight Lines sculptures.Some of these pieces are so large he has to move hundreds of tons by truck to transport them in pieces. They are then reassembled on location based on instability, uncertainty and concepts of disorder. These sculptures are now exhibited at different locations worldwide including Versailles.
Bernar Venet's intention through his art is to raise questions. His pieces bring something new to the art world with the challenge to convince people that anything is possible. His early works with tar were daring and his pile of coal, Tas de Charbon was important for art history as it is the first sculpture not to have a definite form. This was a sculpture that could change in size, shape and volume and still be defined as a sculpture.


It's becoming increasingly understood that the CISO role needs to be elevated. As that scope of responsibility expands, the need to distill the essential elements required for a cyber-secure organization becomes paramount. The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) suggests that products, processes, and people are the keys.
According to TechRepublic, those elements are at the heart of three trends identified by Kelvin Coleman, executive director of the NCSA, a nonprofit organization that aims to raise awareness about cybersecurity and privacy education. Coleman sees these themes as impacting cybersecurity even beyond 2019.
Generation Z Workforce—This is a generation raised on technology, which will have a big influence on how devices are used in the workplace. Because of this, and due to the fact that cybersecurity is showing up in more curriculum, Coleman believes the cybersecurity workforce will be largely populated by younger workers.
Employee Education is Not One Size Fits All—From phishing to other weak spots in the organization, employees must be brought in to the cybersecurity discussion and understand the stakes. Given the evolving threat landscape, training will need to shift to keep pace.

Invaders in Your Backyard
by Josie Bennett March 12, 2018
When most people hear the word invasion, the first thought that comes to mind is of alien spaceships or military troops. But did you know that a quiet invasion is taking place in your own backyard? An invasive plant is one that is not native and can cause considerable damage to an ecosystem. Invasive plants often do not have natural enemies and can spread rapidly while aggressively competing with native plants for precious resources.
Local wildlife, such as California quail and bobcats, rely on native plants to provide food and/or shelter. Invasive plants threaten wildlife and increase the risk of wildfire, as well as accelerating erosion and flooding. The California Invasive Plant Council estimates that invasive plants cost California at least $82 million a year. If that money wasn't spent on control, monitoring, and outreach, the estimated monetary damage could reach into the billions.
Let me introduce you to some of the common invasive plants that can be found in Orange County.
Creek bank cleared of Arundo
Meet Arundo (Arundo donax), also known as giant reed, a fast-growing perennial plant species originating from the Mediterranean basin. Arundo can grow up to 30 feet high in dense clumps, creating large colonies where no other plant can survive.
This species grows best in riparian zones where our local willows and sycamores make their home. Arundo not only replaces important native habitat and increases the risk of wildlife, it can even change the course of a waterway.
Russian thistle
Meet Russian thistle (Salsola australis), a summer annual that is also known as tumbleweed and was introduced to the U.S. in 1873 in contaminated flaxseed. Tumbling tumbleweeds are a historical icon of the Old West, where hot and dry conditions allowed this species to flourish.
Russian thistle can invade agricultural areas as well as our local native habitats. One plant is capable of releasing 200,000 seeds across several miles. The dry skeletons of tumbleweed can build up against buildings and fences, creating a fire hazard.
Meet Castor Bean (Rincus communis), a native to the Mediterranean, Eastern Africa, and India. This plant is considered to be the most poisonous species in the world due to the presence of ricin in its bean-like seeds. Castor Bean can grow to over nine feet in height and can quickly displace slower-growing native plants.
Tree tobacco
Meet Tree Tobacco (Nicotiana glauca), a wild tobacco native to South America that is toxic to most wildlife. This species flowers year-round, producing hundreds of seeds per flower.
Hummingbirds might enjoy the yellow blooms of this tree, but did you know that our local insects don't like to make their homes in non-native trees? Fewer insects in an ecosystem means less food for animals like baby birds who depend on caterpillars so they can grow big and strong.
Artichoke thistle
Meet Artichoke Thistle (Cynara cardunculus), a native of the Mediterranean and an invasive plant commonly found in the hillsides of Orange County. The bright purple blooms may look beautiful, but this spiny plant has a bad reputation for crowding out native plants that our local wildlife depends on for their survival.
What can you do to help in the fight to control invasive plants? Join us at one of our restoration stewardship events (scroll down) where we remove invasive plants and replace them with native plants such as the Coast Live Oak. Can't find the time to attend an event? Consider donating to Laguna Canyon Foundation as we help to protect the open space that we all love so much.
Laguna's Mighty Oaks
by Josie Bennett December 7, 2017
"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mighty oak is an iconic California feature symbolizing endurance and strength. Oak trees dot the hillsides in Laguna Canyon, providing food and shelter for wildlife as well as beauty and inspiration for nature lovers. Oak communities are a vital component of our Southern California landscape, supporting countless native plant and wildlife species. Oak trees are a keystone species, meaning that they are incredibly important to the other species in their habitat – if they were removed, the whole ecosystem would change dramatically.
There are nine oak species found in California. In Laguna Canyon, the most common oak is the Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), an evergreen species that ranges from Mendocino County to northern Baja. The genus name Quercus is derived from two Celtic words that translate to "good tree." Oak trees are slow growing and take 60-80 years to mature, making oak woodlands especially vulnerable to the effects of drought and fire.
Even the tallest oak tree began life as a small acorn. Acorns contain everything needed to grow into a mighty oak, including carbs, proteins and fats that the seedlings will need to grow. All those stored nutrients make a tasty snack for hungry wildlife. Out of the thousands of acorns that a tree produces, only a few will survive their first year. Oak trees depend on animals to help them to disperse their seeds. A California Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica) may bury 5000 acorns in one season for food storage. Many of those acorns will never be claimed and will germinate and grow to be oak seedlings.
Wildlife makes their home among the oaks and depends heavily on this tree for both food and shelter. You can find birds such as the Blue-gray gnatcatcher making a nest in the large canopy and the Acorn Woodpecker building a nest within a tree cavity. The dusky-footed woodrat makes a meal out of oak leaves while the pocket gopher can be found dining on the roots of oak seedlings. The leaf litter found under a tree supports an astounding variety of life, including fungi, bacteria, millipedes, ants and springtails.
Animals aren't the only ones that have historically relied on oak trees for food and shelter. Native American tribes used the acorn as a major food source and early colonial Americans used the wood for boat construction, wagon parts and charcoal. Nowadays, oaks offer visitors a shady place to stop and take a break while out exploring our parks.
You can enjoy a walk through an oak woodland by visiting Laurel Canyon in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park or Wood Canyon in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park. You can help protect our local oak trees! Sign up for one of our upcoming stewardship events or considering donating to support our restoration efforts.

Pecten Reef Habitat Restoration
by Josie Bennett October 19, 2017
Laguna Canyon Foundation is thrilled to announce the funding of the Pecten Reef Habitat Restoration Project! The Pecten Reef project is being funded by a $677,400 grant through the California State Coastal Conservancy. Laguna Canyon Foundation and the Coastal Conservancy have a long history of partnership, with numerous projects funded totaling 12.5 million dollars. This total includes over $10 million towards land acquisition to preserve 310 acres of sensitive habitat and $160,000 towards designing and installing new interpretive signage in Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park.
The Pecten Reef project is located in the northeastern extension of Aliso and Wood Canyons, within the Aliso Creek watershed. Aliso Creek is one of the major stream systems in Orange County, running for a little under 20 miles from the foothills of the Santa Ana mountains to the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Beach. It's one of the last remaining natural creeks in Orange County and is an important wildlife corridor that connects the mountains to the sea.
Human impacts on the creek include increased water flow, the introduction of non-native weeds, and high bacteria levels. These factors have led to the creek being added to the Clean Water Act list of impaired waters. 4.8 million dollars have already been invested in rehabilitating the creek through efforts including invasive weed control, habitat restoration, and the construction of the 2-acre Dairy Fork wetland to capture runoff water from surrounding communities.
The Pecten Reef project is in one of the most sensitive and important areas in the Aliso Creek Watershed, and contains critical habitat for sensitive, threatened, and endangered species such as the Southwestern Pond Turtle and Least Bell's Vireo.

In addition to improving the habitat surrounding the creek, another goal of this project is to revegetate an exposed portion of Pecten Hill. Pecten Hill is made up of the limestone remains of an 18-million-year-old tropical shell reef (and is what gives Pecten Reef its name); this is in fact one of the only preserved portions of the ancient marine reef.
Our vision of this project is to create a resilient home for wildlife, help to improve water quality in Aliso Creek, protect sensitive paleontological resources, and offer hands-on stewardship events for the public.
Interested in getting a closer look at this area? Ready for some hands-on habitat restoration? Join us on the second Tuesday of the month at our Pecten Reef stewardship events! Sign up at lagunacanyon.org/activities.

Fall Migration
by Josie Bennett September 26, 2017
With temperatures hitting 80 degrees this week in southern California, it might be hard to believe that we marked the first day of fall on September 22nd. While we might not see dramatic seasonal changes like the leaves changing color back east, there are many changes to see if you look closely! As the days begin to shorten, watch for late season flowers in bloom, including sand aster (Corethrogyne filaginifolia), clustered tarweed (Deinandra fasciculate) and twiggy wreath plant (Stephanomeria virgate). These plants offer important resources for local birds and other pollinators.
Twiggy wreath plant
One of our most exciting seasonal changes is the fall migration of birds into and out of Southern California. As we say goodbye to birds such as the Pacific-slope Flycatcher and Wilson's Warbler, we are able to say hello once again to the Yellow-rumped Warbler and Hermit Thrush.
The Northern Arctic Tern, which travels up to 24,000 miles a year, holds the record for the longest migration path of any migratory bird. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of energy for a bird to travel such a long distance. You may be asking yourself, why not stay in one place like most of us humans do? The simplest answer is that birds leave one area when the resources that they rely on become less abundant and move to another area where resources are more abundant. Birds depend heavily on the plant community where they make their home to provide them with shelter, food and places to nest. Without these resources, birds are unable to thrive.
Whether you are out on the trail hiking, taking a bike ride, or volunteering at one of our stewardship events, it's always a good time to look for birds! Keep your eye out for some of these fall migrants:
Townsend's Warbler
Join our next birding walk in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park on Sunday, October 29th and benefit from our volunteer naturalists' expertise as they point out and identify both local and migratory birds!
The Buzz about National Pollinator Week
by Josie Bennett June 22, 2017
National Pollinator Week is June 19-25! Pollinators are incredibly important to the plants and animals that live in our local wildlands. The process of pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from one flower to another through the wind or with the help of an animal that is looking to make nectar its next meal. These animals inadvertently get pollen attached to their bodies and carry it along to the next flower. Once a flower has been pollinated, it will produce fruit which provides resources for animals as well as seeds to make new plants.
The ideal home for a pollinator includes a wide variety of native plants that are clustered together. Pollinators need food all year round, not just in the spring when the wildflowers bloom, so it's essential to have late flowering plants such as Epilobium canum (California fuchsia) and Deinandra fasciculata (clustered tarweed) mixed into the habitat.
From the miniscule Ceratina bee to the iconic monarch butterfly, pollinators come in many different shapes and sizes. According to the Xerces Society, there are 1,200 – 1,500 native bee species and over 200 butterfly species in California. Butterflies and bees aren't the only pollinators that you can find while out exploring. Even bats and male mosquitoes can be pollinators! Next time you're out enjoying the open space, watch for flowers that have hummingbirds, ants, flies, and flower beetles collecting nectar and pollen.
Help Laguna Canyon Foundation celebrate National Pollinator Week by doing your part to protect our open space. To promote diversity of pollinators, we need to work together to protect, preserve, and restore as much native habitat as possible. Sign up for an event at the Native Plant Nursery in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park to help participate in seed collecting, seed starting and plant care on the second Saturday of every month. With your help, these native species will be planted into the park and will help to support our local pollinators.
The Canyon in Bloom
by Josie Bennett May 18, 2017
Have you noticed a dramatic splash of color while out on the trail? Spring and summer are the peak blooming season for the mariposa lily, a spectacular plant that is part of the lily family (Liliaceae) along with chocolate lilies and humboldt lilies. Mariposa lilies are in the genus Calochortus, which is derived from Greek and means"beautiful grass." Although their narrow leaves do resemble grass, they are actually perennial bulbs – meaning they live for more than two years.
There are six species found in Orange County, including two rare species, Catalina mariposa lily and intermediate mariposa lily. Here are a few of the mariposa lilies that you may come across while out exploring the South Coast Wilderness.
Splendid mariposa lily (Calochortus splendens) is our most common local mariposa lily and flowers from April through early June. Look for the pale lavender-to-pink petals among openings in oak woodlands, as well as in coastal sage scrub and grassland habitats.
Catalina mariposa lily (Calochortus catalinae) is designated as a rare plant (CRPR 4.2) by the California Native Plant Society, although it is fairly common in Orange County. At first glance the white petals resemble a morning glory, but the dark centers help to distinguish these flowers. This species can be seen flowering from February through May.
Weed's mariposa lily (Calochortus weedii) and Intermediate mariposa lily (Calochortus weedii var. intermedius) show off a variety of brillant colors, including yellows, oranges and purples. Both of these species can be seen flowering from the end of May through mid-July, although they are in bloom a bit early this year!
Looking to find these beautiful flowers out in the South Coast Wilderness? Check out the Wood Canyon Trail in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park and the Mariposa Trail in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park.
Snakes of Orange County
by Josie Bennett April 19, 2017
Spring is in the air in California, and as the weather warms up, it's a treat to see some of the animals that call our open space their home. Everyone likes seeing butterflies, birds and bobcats while out exploring the trails, but who enjoys seeing snakes? I know that I do, but many people's initial response to encountering a snake is fear or disgust. Why do snakes get a bad rap? A fear of snakes runs deep through ancient mythology and the Bible, but our disdain is misguided.
Snakes are cold-blooded reptiles that are secondary consumers (they eat animals that eat plants) and fall into the middle of the food web. They play an important role in our local ecosystem by controlling rodent populations and by providing food for raptors.
People are often scared of snakes, but in reality, snakes are also scared of people! The best defense a snake has is to avoid confrontation by slithering away or by warning others to stay away (like rattlesnakes do). Although you don't need to be scared of snakes, you should be careful when you see one and give them their space.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Be alert during warmer weather and in the evening when snakes are most active.
Never put your hands or feet where you can't see them.
Wear closed-toed shoes on the trail.
Stick to the trail! Snakes can be hard to see in tall grass and in rock crevices.
Learn to identify the common species in the OC.
Remember not to panic if you see a snake – this is their home!
Next time you're out on the trail and see a snake, stop and observe it for a while. You might be surprised to find yourself enjoying snakes after all! 🙂
Nineteen different species of snake make their home in Orange County. Snakes most often encountered in the wild in Orange County include:
Gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer)
Southern Pacific rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus helleri)
California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula californiae)
Interested in learning more about snakes, and even getting the opportunity to touch one yourself? Register now for our RATTLESNAKE! event in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park on Saturday, April 29th. See and even touch live, non-venomous snakes displayed by snake researcher Steve Bledsoe of Southwestern Field Herping Associates. Enjoy fun crafts. Learn to ID rattlesnakes and what to do if you encounter one. Come prepared to have your most interesting snake questions answered!

Peshawar: A spokesman of Peshawar University today denied that there has been any hike in tuition fees for undergraduate courses at Peshawar University.
There is no truth to criticism that students had to pay more than the normal tuition fees stated by the university previous year.
I am sharing this from authentic source i-e Peshawar university official page. For confirmation you can also visit Peshawar university website. Beside from this, illegal occupants of hostels need to be pressed, beaten and thrashed again.

Vancouver International Airport has some exciting major expansion projects ahead
As one of North America's fastest growing airports, Vancouver International Airport has some exciting major expansion projects ahead that Kasian is proud to be involved in. In 2017, the airport welcomed a record-breaking 24.2 million passengers and expects to accommodate 32 million by 2022. Included in YVR's list of capital projects, which are expected to cost $9.1 billion, are terminal expansions, parking changes and sustainability features. By the end of the year, the airport expects to create around 2,500 full time construction jobs on Sea Island, plus many others off-site.
Our Vancouver Team is working on the new YVR Pier D expansion project that will help accommodate the increase in passengers and provide a new travel experience. A "forest" of towering Western Hemlock is part of a display that will allow visitors to the Vancouver area to be immersed in nature without even leaving the terminal. It will likely be the largest indoor planter in the world, according to the Vancouver Airport Authority's vice-president of engineering.
Additionally, Kasian will be showcasing our work on the new Pier D expansion with an interactive VR experience at the upcoming Smart Airports Conference on July 23-25 in Edmonton, Alberta. Over 100 Leading airport and aviation experts will offer leading insights, present interactive panels, and host specialized workshops. We hope to see you there!

There is no reason to panic. A contact lens cannot actually move behind the eye. If a soft lens (or part of it) has gotten stuck under the eyelid and disappeared, it is most likely stuck under your upper eyelid and will usually come out by itself. This might take a few hours, or even days, but the condition should not be particularly dangerous.
While you should contact a professional if you feel great discomfort or the eye is very red, you can try to help the lens come out yourself.
Read the instructions on the cleaning solution that you normally use. Check that it's safe to use directly in the eye. If so, drop a few drops into the eye to moisten the lens and help it move smoothly.
Without moving your head, look as far down as you can.
With your eyes open, very gently push the upper part of your upper eyelid (near the bone) with your fingers.
Keeping the fingers there, now look up. The light pressure should keep the lens in place and prevent it from moving back up with they eye.
Release pressure and look down again.
Repeat for a few times. With luck, the lens should appear again!
How to Prevent It From Happening Again?
You might want to consider using extra breathing lenses. Moisture reduces friction and makes it less likely that the problem occurs again in the future.

The guys at Emerald City Tattoo are not only talented, but some of the nicest people I?ve met, which is a big luxury to me in this industry. The guy who helped me, Bryan, was passionate about art, and it really showed in the final results of my tattoo. I?ve been to at least four other places in the Seattle area, and none were even remotely close to being as great as this place. They will ensure you are satisfied with the design, add in helpful suggestions without the common tattoo-artist-arrogance, and pace the actual tattooing to what you are comfortable with. I recommend Emerald City to anyone wanting to get some nice work done!

The versatility of a well-made flour tortilla astounds me. Additionally, the effort-to-payoff ratio is highly satisfying during the summer months when finding time for cooking can be a challenge. Lately, I have made a habit of whipping up a batch of these tortillas every week for meals-on-the-fly, and I have found that anything you would normally use a bread product for always tastes better in a homemade flour tortilla.
This weekend I went camping on Flagstaff Lake with a group of old friends. Several times a year we make it a priority to shut off our phones and lose ourselves in the woods for a couple of days. Normally, I buy a bag of English muffins (boring) and prepare breakfast sandwiches (alright) to cook over the fire (good) for breakfast. This time I decided I would test my own theory of tortilla-superiority and make a breakfast burrito (yes): eggs, jalapeno, Mexican cheese blend, and grilled potato, zucchini and celery. No surprise, it was incredible. Seriously, pick a platform: steak, veggie burger, fish, chicken, eggs, ground turkey. I have tried them all and they all taste good in a tortilla.
Do note, the tortillas I speak of are not the equivalent of a burrito wrap you buy in the store. This recipe is as solid as they come, and it is seriously worth trying.
And to wrap it all up (no pun intended), a little plug for cast iron: of all the reasons to own a cast iron pan, homemade tortillas probably fall around number 38. Buy one and try them out!
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Separate dough into 8 balls.
Preheat cast iron pan and a splash of oil over medium heat until hot.
Roll each ball of dough out into a round, 8"-10" discs. You can also roll them out one at a time as they cook; this is the method I prefer.
Place a tortilla into the hot pan and cook for 1 minute per side (realistically, anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes per side is normal). Lift the tortilla up with tongs to make sure you aren't overcooking them. You will want to flip them when they are golden brown on the bottom, as pictured above. If you over cook them they will be too crisp and will lose pliability. Between each tortilla, add a little more oil to the pan and let it heat up.
Serve, or feel free to store them in the refrigerator wrapped in aluminum foil for later use.


We are currently getting our first shot of winter. With and inch or two of snow last night, whipping winds and temps falling though the 20's, I think it's safe to say that winter has arrived!
Now I'm not meteorologist, but I do have some predictions this winter. I predict it'll be either a) very very snowy or b) very very cold.
My prediction comes from what is happening with the weather today. We are up to our 24th named hurricane of the season, the NE has seen major flooding and severe weather continues to break out in Tornado alley in November! The weather is very active, no matter what you look at. And what's Minnesota known for? Well cold and snow. Two things that have been, for the most part, quiet over the past few years.
I think that Minnesota will see more snow and cold this year as Mother Nature is constantly brewing up storms and it's only a matter of time before she sets her eyes on Minnesota.
What is your prediction for Upstate, NY weather?

Bering Sea
Seas of the world: Mediterranean Sea (1), Red Sea (2), Black Sea (3), Caribbean Sea (4), Gulf of Mexico (5), Hudson Bay (6), Bering Sea (7), Tasman Sea (8), Coral Sea (9), Bay of Bengal (10), Arabian Sea (11), and North Sea (12)
The Bering Sea is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. It comprises a deep water basin, which then rises through a narrow slope into the shallower water above the continental shelves.
The Bering Sea is separated from the Gulf of Alaska by the Alaska Peninsula. It covers over 2,000,000 square kilometres (770,000 sq mi) and is bordered on the east and northeast by Alaska, on the west by Russian Far East and Kamchatka Peninsula, on the south by the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands and on the far north by the Bering Strait, which connects the Bering Sea to the Arctic Ocean's Chukchi Sea. Bristol Bay is the portion of the Bering Sea which separates the Alaska Peninsula from mainland Alaska. The Bering Sea is named for Vitus Bering, a Danish navigator in Russian service, who in 1728 was the first European to systematically explore it, sailing from the Pacific Ocean northward to the Arctic Ocean.
The Bering Sea ecosystem includes resources within the jurisdiction of the United States and Russia, as well as international waters in the middle of the sea (known as the "Donut Hole"). The interaction between currents, sea ice, and weather makes for a vigorous and productive ecosystem.
World's Seas[edit]
The world's seas include the Mediterranean Sea (1), Red Sea (2), Black Sea (3), Caribbean Sea (4), Gulf of Mexico (5), Hudson Bay (6), Bering Sea (7), Tasman Sea (8), Coral Sea (9), Bay of Bengal (10), Arabian Sea (11), and North Sea (12).

In order to adequately evaluate our product, we would need to run two separate tests. One would test the usability of the product and the user experience. The other would test the effectiveness of the device as a learning instrument.
For the first test we would create our earthquake simulation kit and bring it to an Earth Science class. The ideal group of students would be in middle school or high school and would be currently taking an Earth Science class. We would incorporate this product into their current curriculum and create lesson plans around it. In order to evaluate how the students react to the product, we will put them in small groups and give them a specific task to complete. We may then measure the success of the simulator based on student reactions at different points in the process, noting when students react well and when they become confused or unsure of where to move next in the process. If the process runs seamlessly from setup to engagement to cleanup, then we may confirm successful user interaction and usability.
Before performing the test, we would need to determine the test's significance level and the corresponding values for each of the three outcomes.
The test would ideally be performed using three earth science classes of the same grade and caliber (i.e. both "Honors" or both "Regular," etc.). If this is not possible, then a single class will be used and the students will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Before the normal lesson on earthquakes is taught, the students will take a pre-test to determine their existing knowledge of the subject. Then, the teacher will be instructed to proceed with the lesson(s) as per usual. Once the lesson is completed, or at a point just prior to assigning a lab/activity for the students to perform, the students will be given a second pre-test. This will be done to establish a baseline, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching prior to any lab/activity.
The students will then be assigned a lab/activity. One group will perform a traditional, non-simulated based lab, one will perform a simulation lab using a traditional earthquake simulator, and the third will perform a lab using our sound-based earthquake simulator. Once the lab is completed, the students will all take a post-test. The results of the post-test will be compared with those of the second pre-test across the three different groups in order to determine the effectiveness of the three different labs/activities.

SDS Mailbag: Ideal Final Four locations, creating the perfect SEC team and how the Playoff has hurt the Pac-12
Adam Spencer | 11 months ago
Leap Day is tomorrow, and that always reminds me of "Parks & Recreation," where Jerry Gergich was born on Feb. 29. So, when he's 64 years old, he's technically celebrating his 16th birthday.
That's a great episode and worth a watch on Saturday. Leap Day is a really weird concept when you think about it.
We don't have time to think too much about it, though. Let's dive into your questions for this week's Mailbag!
@Dobbe8:
If you could pick 1 city to host the Final Four every year, what city would you pick?
I'm partial to Missouri cities, since I went to college there. Kansas City would be an awesome annual location for the Final Four. It's crazy that KC hasn't hosted the Final Four since 1988, although I guess I sort of understand it.
These days, the NCAA likes to play the Final Four in football stadiums, and they aren't going to be playing basketball in April in Arrowhead Stadium anytime soon.
Therefore, if I could pick 1 city to host the Final Four every year, I'd go with St. Louis. There's a dome that is only used for a few events each year and I'm sure the XFL's BattleHawks wouldn't mind sharing the dome for a weekend.
St. Louis is centrally located, too. Plus, in a way, it's better than Kansas City because it's farther away from the Kansas Jayhawks. They don't need the built-in advantage of having the Final Four in Kansas City every year.
If I had to pick a non-Missouri city, I'd go with Indianapolis.
@SChinni12:
If you had to build a team of the best SEC players, who would you pick? Let's say 5 starters and a sixth man.
There are a number of great players in the league to pick from, but here are the guys I'd want on my All-Star team:
Guard: Ashton Hagans, Kentucky — I don't need much scoring from the point guard position with all these other guys on the roster. What I do need is a distributor, and Hagans leads the SEC with 6.5 assists per game. He's also the best defender in the league, so this is a no-brainer.
Guard: Mason Jones, Arkansas — We have to find a place for the SEC's leading scorer. Jones has no problem putting a team on his back offensively, as we saw when Isaiah Joe was out. No, that didn't translate to any wins at Arkansas, but with this all-star cast around him, that won't be a problem.
Guard: Anthony Edwards, Georgia — The superstar freshman doesn't play for a great team, but I think he'd shine with the right supporting cast around him. He and Jones would form a dynamic scoring duo in the backcourt, and Hagans would do a great job making sure each guy got enough touches. Edwards against defenses that couldn't help off their man to stop him would be super fun to watch.
Forward: Reggie Perry, Mississippi State — Perry is the SEC's leading rebounder, averaging 9.9 per game. He's also scoring 17.4 points and dishing out 2.4 assists per game. He can do it all and that earns him a spot in the frontcourt for this squad.
Forward: Nick Richards, Kentucky — Among qualifying players, Richards has the best field goal percentage in the SEC and it isn't even close. He makes 65.8% of his shots. The second-place player, Florida's Keyontae Johnson, makes 54.5% of his attempts. Richards is also second in the SEC with 2.2 blocks per game. He makes a big impact on both ends of the floor.
Sixth Man: Isaac Okoro, Auburn — Okoro is super versatile and can guard anyone on the court. He's also no slouch offensively and is one of the most energetic players in the SEC.
I'd feel pretty confident in that squad going up against any other group of 6 players in the nation.
@MichaelJtr8:
How are you going to spend your Leap Day this year?
Well, I plan on spending Leap Day watching other people leap. By that, I mean there's a full slate of SEC basketball games on that day, including No. 15 Auburn at No. 8 Kentucky. If Kentucky wins that game, the Wildcats will all but lock up the SEC regular season title.
Texas A&M-LSU will also be fun to watch, as will Florida-Tennessee and South Carolina-Alabama. This is the second-to-last Saturday in the regular season, so we'd better make the most of it!
I also have a birthday dinner to go to, but it better be somewhere with a TV so I don't miss any basketball.
Jon:
Ducks fan here who really enjoys SEC football and this great site. Football going national with the BCS and the Playoff has materially benefited the SEC and hurt CFB west of the Mississippi. The Big 12 and Pac-12 are a combined Playoff 1-6. Today, the Pac-12 cannot convince many of the best Left Coast high school players to stay "home." And Steve Sarkisian staying at Alabama as an assistant instead of taking the head job at Colorado, as well as Mike Leach leaving for Mississippi State, also speaks to the demise of Pac-12 football. Considering the money flowing to B1G and SEC teams and with the ACC having its own ESPN-owned network, is there any way CFB west of the Mississippi can return to national relevancy, or are we looking at a Power 2, augmented from time to time by a school willing to pay $9 million plus to its head coach? Is it a good thing for CFB for the game to disappear out west? And does any SEC fan care or should they care?
This is, by far, the longest question I've ever had to answer in the Mailbag, but I think Jon's question is absolutely worthwhile. To answer the last question first, no. SEC fans absolutely do not care and should not care about anything outside of the SEC. The SEC can print its own money when it comes to football, and the current setup absolutely benefits the conference.
As for the second-to-last question, no. It is not good that football west of the Mississippi River is taking this big of a hit. But, for the Pac-12 especially, that's a situation that has everything to do with TV deals. You've seen the stories about the Pac-12 considering 9 a.m. local time kickoffs just to get into that lucrative noon Eastern time slot. The late-night "Pac-12 After Dark" time slot isn't as lucrative, money-wise. East Coast teams are always going to have the benefit of better TV slots.
I don't think the Big 12 is affected by this situation as much, but it does have a big impact on the Pac-12. Here's the solution — allow players to be paid. California schools and Oregon (with Phil Knight and Nike's deep pockets) could absolutely compete if players were allowed a salary.
Chris Petersen, who coached Washington last year, was only the 17th highest-paid coach in the country, behind even Charlie Strong at USF. That needs to change, but it won't change until the Pac-12 Network makes more money. Right now, almost no one can watch the Pac-12 Network, which hurts the conference as a whole. Meanwhile, the Big 12 is hurt by the Longhorn Network, which benefits only 1 of the conference's 10 teams.
It is a complex issue, but until other conferences find the success that the Big Ten Network and SEC Network have found, they'll continue to lag behind. It's as simple as that.

I disagree. Selfishly, SEC fans love being #1. But, in the big picture, the domination is not good for CFB. There is already heavy SEC fatigue around the country. If CFB becomes a regional sport, TV rating will eventually diminish hurting the SEC and B1G.
MattyJ 11 months ago
If it were going to diminish, it would have diminished already. Bama fatigue and New England fatigue are real as well but people still tune in to watch their games cause they want to watch greatness or see them lose.
I am not talking about today or even tomorrow. We have not reached the point of it being Regional. But, if folks on the west coast figure they no chance before the 1st kickoff, I can see it happening. JMHO.
Additionally, the new transfer rule and the NIL allowance that is on the horizon is going to change CFB as we know it. More recruits will like the idea of playing in LA and other areas of Cali where the opportunities are much better.
Dirty South 11 months ago
If LA was that big of a pull the Cali schools would be doing a hell of a lot better in recruiting. Forget the entire state, USC can't even recruit LA. All of the elite players out there are coming down south.

St Louis? You must be kidding. If you polled 1000 people in the US outside of Missouri asking this question, not one would say St Louis . If you had those same 1000 people list their Top 10 sites, St Louis would never be mentioned.

brainesman 11 months ago
Indy isn't bad (STL is, there's nothing there and what little is there is spread out). Indy has centrality but the obvious answer is NOLA. Perfect venue and a ton to do. San Antonio isn't bad either and Vegas will be a great option once the dome opens.
As someone who attended the Tourney there a few years ago, St. Louis should probably be below every other city with a decent dome. They should at least be below (roughly in order): NOLA, LV, SA, LA (soon), Indy, ATL, Det (actually pretty nice now), Minneapolis, DAL, HOU. I might be forgetting some city with a dome, but I've been to all of those minus DAL and they are all much better places to host to a big event.

The PAC 12 will be FORCED to come east to play if they want to stay relevant. I have enjoyed Tennessee's tussles over the years with UCLA, etc. I'd especially love to beat the University of Spoiled Children, too.
Plus, how much advertising is being done towards travelers in the South to come to an away game. Oh, and we need to see the SEC teams ALSO travel out west. Not naming any names, but some schools have been much more reluctant in the past to play outside the SEC 'footprint.'
Tennessee has always been one of the few teams that would play tough non conference opponents. For many years Tenn and LSU were only ones who did it. But if you look at future schedules, Tenn is lagging way behind Ga,Ala,LSU,Auburn Even Fla (tho hard to believe) They need to add some muscle.
Yeah didn't they travel to Oregon a few years back? I give them kudos for that.

Ah yes, The Longhorn Network. The deal breaker on "what could have been" with the Pac-16(?) and what continues to plague the Big 12 (laughable title). Brings a smile to my face every time I think about how incredulous those jerks in Austin were when we made the move to the SEC.

Friedrich Franz Graf von Waldersee (* 17. Dezember 1829 in Berlin; † 6. Oktober 1902 in Schwerin) war ein preußischer Generalleutnant.

Leben

Herkunft
Friedrich Franz Graf von Waldersee war ein Enkel von Franz Graf Waldersee (1763–1823), einem illegitimen Sohn des Fürsten (ab 1806 Herzog) Leopold III. von Anhalt-Dessau aus einer Verbindung mit Johanne Eleonore Hoffmeier. Er war das vierte von sechs Kindern des preußischen Generals der Kavallerie Franz von Waldersee (1791–1873) und dessen Ehefrau Friederike, geborene von Hünerbein (1799–1859). Seit 1897 befindet sich der Familiensitz derer von Waldersee auf Gut Schloss Waterneverstorff im Ortsteil Waterneverstorf der Gemeinde Behrensdorf.

Militärkarriere
Waldersee besuchte das Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin und trat anschließend am 13. August 1848 als Füsilier in das Kaiser Alexander Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 1 der Preußischen Armee ein. Während der Revolution 1849 war er mit seinem Regiment an der Niederschlagung von Straßenkämpfen in Dresden beteiligt. Im weiteren Verlauf seiner Militärkarriere wechselte Waldersee 1857 von der Infanterie zur Kavallerie über und wurde am 18. Dezember 1864 Rittmeister und Eskadronchef im Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 6. Als solcher nahm er im Deutschen Krieg 1866 an den Kämpfen bei Dermbach, Hammelburg, Roßbrunn und Uettingen sowie der Beschießung von Würzburg teil. Für seine Leistungen erhielt Waldersee den Roten Adlerorden IV. Klasse mit Schwertern.

Am 2. Mai 1870 wurde er zum Major befördert und während des Krieges gegen Frankreich 1870/71 als Stabsoffizier verwendet. Waldersee war bei den Schlachten von Gravelotte und Noisseville sowie der Belagerung von Metz, für die er mit dem Eisernen Kreuz II. Klasse ausgezeichnet wurde.

Am 22. September 1874 beauftragte man Waldersee mit der Führung des Ulanen-Regiments Nr. 13, beförderte ihn am 18. Januar 1875 zum Oberstleutnant und ernannte ihn schließlich am 15. Juni 1875 zum Regimentskommandeur. In dieser Funktion folgte am 18. April 1878 seine Beförderung zum Oberst. Als solcher wurde Waldersee am 15. Mai 1883 à la suite des Regiments gestellt und zum Kommandeur der 6. Kavallerie-Brigade in Brandenburg an der Havel ernannt. Im Jahr darauf kehrte er nach Hannover zurück und wurde am 14. März 1884 Kommandant der Stadt sowie am 15. April 1884 Generalmajor. Es folgte am 4. August 1888 noch die Verleihung des Charakters als Generalleutnant und in Würdigung seiner Verdienste am 21. September 1889 die Verleihung des Sterns zum Kronenorden II. Klasse. Am 16. Mai 1891 wurde Waldersee unter Verleihung des Sterns zum Roten Adlerorden II. Klasse mit Eichenlaub mit Pension zur Disposition gestellt.

Er verstarb an einem Herzschlag und wurde in Hannover auf dem Engesohder Friedhof beigesetzt.

Familie
Am 19. Mai 1863 heiratete Waldersee in Alt-Jeßnitz Geraldine Freiin von Ende (1843–1919). Das Paar hatte zwei Söhne:

 Leopold Friedrich Franz Otto (1864–1950), preußischer Offizier
 ⚭ 1898 Emilie von Kotze (1872–1935)
 Siegfried (1866–1886)

For many years, private colleges routinely granted interviews with admissions officers to prospective students. As the number of students applying has dramatically increased, many colleges have been unable to keep up with such demand and are not interviewing at all or are often providing alumni interviews.
As colleges tend to have many applicants with high standardized test scores (SAT and/or ACT) and impressive academic grades, it inherently becomes harder for schools to effectively differentiate among students. Many colleges, as a result, are looking more closely than in years past at the application essays, extracurricular and community service "resumes" and summer activities. Admissions teams want to get to know the students, their passions, social skills, versatility and level of confidence, and so they are looking to the essay for the student's humanity and personality.
They also want to learn about the student's character. The essay becomes nearly the only way to gauge this. It effectively becomes an "interview."
Just like there are fashion trends, there are trends in the style of the essay. Conversational is "in." This is a significant trend.
An effective technique is for a student, prior to writing the essay, to record what he or she wants to say then listen to it carefully and make verbal edits before writing it on paper. By talking through your thoughts and ideas, it can help to determine which subject to write about, as well as to find a better sense of voice. This can result in an essay that is more conversational in tone and thus very appealing to admissions officers.
After writing the essay, the student should read it out loud again to a relative or family member. Reading the essay out loud can help the student catch any awkward sentences and receive feedback from the listener. Of course, be sure to spell-check and proofread your essay.
Pretend you are talking in a conversational tone to your favorite relative in the living room. For example, recount a story as you would to a friend or relative including quotations from the dialogue that took place.
Your opening few sentences are key. Admissions committees do not have much time to read each essay and if they are not captivated, they may not read further. Put the reader "in the scene." For example, if a student is discussing the challenges of working at a summer job, he or should could describe the first day: "When I first arrived..."
Write as though you are telling a story and use anecdotes. Anecdotes make the essay more compelling to the reader. For example, "I never felt more gratified than when I was able to teach David to ..."
Try to convey why professors at the college would want to teach you.
Demonstrate what positive impact you will likely make on the college both inside and outside of the classroom. Extracurricular and community service aspirations can be mentioned. Let the reader see the connection between what you have done and what you intend to do. For example, if you've been a camp counselor and want to major in psychology, demonstrate the connection between the two. What aspects, specifically of the camp work, make you want to explore these issues further in the classroom?
Show passions, goals and interests and write in an emotionally connected and lively tone.
Be sure that your essay addresses the question being asked.
Use distinctive details to paint a vivid picture for the reader.
In the digital world we live in today, people tend to be speaking less and conversing more electronically. Since the essay requires "speaking" with emotion, it is a different style from the more truncated language students use in texting. It can be refreshing for colleges to have students apply who also add the "opposite" dimension. It is very important for prospective students and families to know what colleges want and vice versa. After all, the reciprocal fit between the student and the college is truly the most important aspect of the process. Colleges actively look for this fit.

Corpse Mania is a good, solid mystery film. Director Gwai Chi-Hung does a nice job with atmospherics of the film; it is creepy and spooky in all the right places. The exploited necromaniacal element is in the scenario but it is tertiary to the plot proceedings. Tanny Tien Ni is smooth as the brothel madam while Wong Yung is quite competent as the police investigator.
