Underground Letterboxing
Real Life Treasure Hunting
"There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure." (Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, 1876)... or in every girl's life, who had the good fortune to be born a century later when girls, too, could dream of treasures, read maps and dig in the dirt.
My treasure hunting started in the backyard around the age of 5, when, for a couple of years, I worked on digging a hole that I'm pretty sure could've easily been turned into a swimming pool. I mostly found grubs and earthworms, but all it took was one bent, silver spoon, and I was convinced that if I dug down deep enough I'd hit the mother lode. The Goonies was all the affirmation I needed.
Maybe it's in the DNA, or maybe it's that our house was built on some ancient trash heap that unearthed itself with each fresh rain, sparking my children's interest. My two boys were around 4 years old when they started heading out into the yard like mini-archaeologists, armed with toothbrushes, gently uncovering and collecting bits of broken glass and dishes. It was during those long days, when I was trying to find activities to wear them out and ensure a good night's sleep, that I discovered an underground hobby called Letterboxing, which took us on exciting adventures to new places—real life treasure hunts.
What is a Letterbox?
The term "letterbox" means "mailbox" in England, where the hobby began in the 1850s, in Dartmoor National Park. Visitors left messages for those who were to follow. Nowadays, you can find letterboxes almost anywhere. Just go to www.letterboxing.org and search by location. You will find them in nearly every town in every state, and even some in other countries. There are around 50,000 letterboxes hidden in North America.
What do you need to begin Letterboxing and what can you expect?
You will need a rubber stamp, an inkpad, a small notebook, a pen, a trail name (some people use their real names) and a set of clues to your destination. Those clues can take you through tunnels, down dirt roads and up mountain trails (you choose). You will end up in the most magnificently mystical places, sites that are sometimes historic and always beautiful. You will discover places that are in and of themselves treasures, but you will find the real booty discreetly hidden in plain sight.
There are three main rules to Letterboxing:
1. SAFETY. This is the Lowcountry. There are rattlesnakes, alligators and spiders. You have to be careful. Before reaching for a box, use a stick to poke around and make sure the area is critter free.
2. STEALTH. When you believe you have come to the point where X marks the spot, you have to check around and make sure no one is looking, no one who's going to ask why you're digging around in a hole in some decomposing tree, or why you're pulling a box out from under a rock, or why you're searching in the crevices of an old wall. When you find it, you have to play it cool. Sneak that box up under your arm and walk away. This is serious. Take a little walk. Find a scenic spot to sit and open your newly found treasure. When you're done, you have to sneak it back into its hiding place and cover it with some mulch or pine straw for the next person to discover.
3. HAVE FUN. What do you do when you find a Letterbox?
When you finally open the treasure, you will find a rubber stamp, a notebook, a pen and maybe an inkpad inside. If there isn't an inkpad, you can always use your own. Record the letterbox stamp in your own notebook, logging the date, time, location, and any other details you want to remember. Then use your own stamp to leave your mark along with a short message in the letterbox notebook. Even if you don't have a stamp, you can still leave a note. It can be fun to look through the other messages that have been left behind by other letterboxers. When you are finished, be sure to carefully reseal the contents of the box so they are protected from from rain, and then return the box to its hiding spot.
Ready to get started Letterboxing?
Pink Magazine is hiding the first Letterbox in Bluffton, SC. We look forward to reading the messages you leave in our notebook… that will be our treasure!
Directions to the Famous Cross of Bluffton Letterbox:
Travel to the end of Calhoun Street in Bluffton, SC where you can find the most beautiful view of the sun setting over the May River. You gotta' have "Faith" as you head ten paces towards the double doors. Turn your sights 90 degrees like you're "Going Down to the River to Pray." Proceed 33 paces. Where else would you find a treasure except hidden in a trunk?
Directions to the Heart of
Hilton Head Island Letterbox:
Start where you can go to watch a movie at Coligny Plaza on Hilton Head Island, SC. While you're there, don't forget to pick up a copy of Pink Magazine! Walk 6 paces and then head towards the ocean. Walk 50 paces to catch the New York Subway. When you exit the Subway, it's about 10 paces across the bridge. Act like Captain Hook and keep hooking for about 18 paces. Stop just before the "Stairway to Heaven." Instead, turn right and proceed about 6 paces until you find The Secret Garden. Sit down and take a load off. Don't be afraid to get close to nature. Look around for something tall with a hole in it. All you have to do is reach for it.
Remember: SAFETY, STEALTH, and HAVE FUN!

My class-mate during the DU days and a close friend Md. Mujibur Rahman, a first batch guerilla trained Freedom Fighter of 1971 from the world renowned Dehradun Military Academy, India, took me to the Star Cineplex at Bashundhara City, a shopping mall in Dhaka on 17th November 2018 to watch this docudrama. We saw it; we found Bangabandhu like sky-touching statesman and the other way round of the hard struggling life of Hasina, Rehana… and many more things. It is like a journey for everybody going back into history.
Piplu Khan, the director of this telefilm deserves our high commendation for producing this magnificent docudrama and presenting it before us. It is a brilliant and bold piece of telefilm-making. He is reinventing the documentary... In my view there should be no rules and no boundaries to film-making, and the impact this film has shown us…I think that Piplu is a completely independent voice, and he presents situations and past affairs back to us in a basal way.The docufilm has been carefully crafted tableaux: there's one continuous shot where two women has a 70-minute lament, telling about aspects of their life, their parents, Bangladesh's Founding Father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, their mother, their brothers and other relatives who were brutally put to death by some roughish military men on 15th August 1975.The filmmaker is so present with them, you can't help but understand what they are going through, and to understand is to feel empathy and to want to help. There is never a dull moment watching the telefilm.It is so astute and the quality of the film-making is such that it becomes something very beautiful, a meditation on life. We're having this golden age of documentary right now and it's being driven by technology. In the past you would need to write a script first because the editing process was so laborious but now you can shoot a whole bunch of stuff and capture life in a way that you couldn't before and this film shows you just what level of artistry is possible.
You learn not just about the individual but also about the system in which they were living. I can't think of any other story in our culture that can tell us so much about Bangabandhu, Sheikh Hasina, Sheikh Rehana… in our lifetime and how society is evolving as this body of work. It is illuminating and fascinating and it's one of the things that inspired the director of the docudrama to do the work that he did.
It is the cruel poetry of detail that is so heartbreaking. It took something so horrible but found a way to go to the heart of the matter through simple details. It's stunning in its simplicity. It's powerful both in its observation and its analysis, which is a rare combination. This is maybe the greatest telefilm ever made in Bangladesh. It has wonderful cinema vérité footage of the "Hasina, a daughter's tale."
The film shoots some interviews with people and through their recollection you also have a sense of analysis and understanding rather than mere observation. So it's combining those many things in the film that really is magnificent. It is really a film about repressed memory, and the recollection of the hard struggling life of Hasina and Rehana. It really is one of the most poignant films about the trauma of losing their parents, brothers and many others.
It is so candid and affectionate and lovely, and everyone at the screening time loved it. Not many films bear re-watching, but this one does. It is a very timely film, in terms of present political situation in the country. It shows women actively changing their lives and I found that very inspiring. So many documentaries tell you what to think. This one doesn't – it puts you straight into the story and you get to know the characters just by watching them.
We watched this in the cinema, which was good because it's very beautifully filmed – a real spectacle. It's set in a reserve in Bangladesh and India. It has made something very powerful which has shown us what was really then going on in Bangladesh. It is just full of inventive and brilliant formal ideas as well as being a very beautiful film to watch. And it's informative too. So, the bed of it is factual, and people are responding to itIt shows you the breakdown of a society and the triumph of the greater evil once there's a political vacuum, so it's a very strong political film but it's also, dare I say it, incredibly exciting. For me, this is the first great example of a film-maker being there while it's all actually happening and there are moments in it that are utterly heartbreaking. It's a work of great bravery and definitive historical significance.
The director and his team just observe things and then find a rhythm in his cutting room to show you the reality, usually of an institution, and the human fallibilities of institutions. The telefilm is really about the humans. It is so rare that someone's life has been so well documented. I absolutely loved the way Hasina and Rehana told their stories using all that footage. As a viewer, you really get to know them and understand what they went through. The film has made me realise how much of their life was not in their hands.
Even without being political, the film is political, because it shows you what life was like inside Bangladesh at a time when the only perspective you got on the country was through a news lens. This was a landmark film for me because it made documentaries popular – people who didn't normally watch documentary films watched this. It tells the real story. The director and his team have told the story beautifully. It shows how one extremely powerful documentary can work alongside campaigning and holding demonstrations to bring about change.
Piplu always puts himself out to the nth degree; he manages to be in the right place and observe and tell the story through character. I think it's possible because of Hasina and Rehana's character – Hasina is warm, she's humble, she's sensible and she relates to people so well. It's a brilliant film. The docudrama is a revisit the whole ordeal that the two sisters encountered. It's a remarkable piece of documentary film-making.
It has been beautifully shot. Based on the life of Sheikh Hasina, 10th Prime Minister of Bangladesh, the film Hasina: A Daughter's Tale covers and is referring to the assassination of Bangabandu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with most of her family member in 1975. This biography based documentary tries to capture a riveting story of Hasina out of a tragic backdrop. It demonstrates the captivating story of the Premier with a layered interpretation of her tragedies and triumphs. Dramatically, yet honestly, the documentary progresses to portray a daughter, a leader, and ultimately a person along with her multiple facets and her journey associated with the genesis of Bangladesh.
The trailer opens with a monologue from Sheikh Rehana, the sister of the Prime Minister, as she speaks of a dream filled with darkness and sorrow. "Sometimes I wish everything was a dream," she says, referring to the bloodbath of August 15, 1975, when Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with most of his family members was brutally murdered. Here Sheikh Hasina has been depicted as a person who actually connects the most with the history and inceptions of Bangladesh. The filmmaker's intention throughout the process was to convey the story in an authentic manner, unmarred by any influence which can be open to independent interpretation. Besides the history, the filmmaker sought to showcase the uncanny and unusual sides of one of the most iconic figures of our time.
It stars Sheikh Hasina herself in the title role, and her sister Sheikh Rehana in the role herself. The film featuring Sheikh Hasina upholds not only the Prime Minister but also the life sketch of an affectionate mother, ideal wife and worthy daughter of a worthy father. Through this 70 minutes heart touching docufilm the new generation can know about Sheikh Hasina's progress of being a Prime Minister and many unknown events of her life. It is a tale of her coming Dhaka from a remote village Tungipara. It is an unprecedented presentation of history. It is a real story shown of turning into uncommon of a common woman not the Prime Minister.
Piplu Khan, director of the film tried to unfold different events with his efficiency upon description of Sheikh Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana. Different matters of Sheikh Hasina's family life, struggle, politics and other unknown events are manifested in the celluloid. Radwan Mujib Siddiq and Nasrul Hamid Bipu on behalf of Center for Research and Information (CRI) produced the docufilm. Sadik Ahmed was behind the camera. It was edited by Nabanita Sen and Debajyoti Mishra was the music director. He calls his docudrama a "riveting story against a tragic backdrop which infuses universal appeal to the narrative".
It has been shot in picturesque but real locations and that makes the actors look all the more attractive. The film has a decent storyline. It is a classy production. We wish the film to win the National Award for documentary film. It strikes a chord with the audience through his tragic portrayal of Hasina and her family members. It is a docufilm about Bangabandhu's daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's personal and political life. The new generation should watch this 70-minute docudrama. In short, Hasina – A Daughter's Tale is a must see telefilm for all.

"Casa Părinteasca" teas
The history of the "Casa Parinteasca" Museum, the landmark of the culinary route from Palanca, started in 2000 when Tatiana Popa, the Director of the Museum, managed to recover the family home estate that belonged to her parents and grand parents – deported by the Soviet authorities in 1945. In memory of her parents, grandparents and of the entire Popa-Biciusca blood, Tatiana Popa committed her self to set up a museum, for the revival and perpetuation of traditions and crafts. A museum that became, in time, an important tourist attraction from the area.
From the entrance you can notice the flowers collection in the garden – "peasant " flowers, reminiscent of the grandparents garden. Cold ment, spearmint, crocus, geraniums and other flowers, all full of flavors and beautiful. The flower garden has a beneficent and curative action on visitors, says Tatiana Popa. From here, plants are collected and teas are served to guests who are visiting the "Casa Parinteasca". Hyssop (Hyssopus) a plant that is mentioned multiple times in the Bible, even in the Old Testament, is the main ingredient in aromatic teas of Mrs Tatiana Popa. Tea also contains rosemary (Rozmarinus officinalis) with balm (Melissa officinalis), being highly appreciated by all guests.
Here visitors are greeted with strawberry jam, quince marmalade, black currant jelly, sweet cherry jam and many other products, which combine perfectly with the tea flavor. A special delight is the dandelion syrup, prepared in the spring time after an old, traditional recipe.
Ever present are the traditional buns – cakes with poppy "Scutecele Domnului" baked in the stove and sprinkled with poppy as well as the homemade pretzels.
At the "Casa parinteasca", visitors are initiated into art and crafts, including ancient – making carpet type "in bumbi" – a combination of convex rosettes forming a carpet decor relief. After a long time and efforts that Tatiana Popa made to revive this technique of carpets waving, famous once – in the interbelic period, elements of the carpets texture were included in the collection of the german designer Isabell de Hillerin, in 2012. Thus, the carpet "in bumbi" from Palanca, Calarasi, appeared in the Vogue fashion magazine, and not only.
Visiting the Museum, with the four rooms furnished in the style of traditional houses of Bessarabia at the end of the 19th century, participating in creative workshops, hearing folk songs sung by children from Palanca, tasting traditional products – all create an unforgettable atmosphere at the "Casa Parinteasca".

HÀ NỘI — The Department of Competition and Consumer Protection under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has warned against the unlicenced multi-level sales of Atomy products by organisations and individuals.
Some websites and social networks are trading many functional foods and cosmetics branded Atomy. Many individuals have purchased directly through these channels and are invited to become collaborators or distributors to earn commissions based on the sales volume of the subordinate network.
Most of the advertisements on these channels mention that Atomy is a multi-level trading company based in the Republic of Korea, which reportedly earned a global revenue of US$751 million in 2016.
According to Atomy's social network website, the brand's mission in Việt Nam is to "rewrite the ugly definition of multi-level trading." Consumers are not charged any fee and are required to purchase just once a year to maintain the account, with the cheapest rate being less than VNĐ100,000 (US$4.37). The brand said it is currently completing registration procedures and is expected to officially operate in the Vietnamese market from October this year.
However, the department affirmed that it did not receive any information or registration document for multi-level trading activities from any company owning products or brand called Atomy.
To avoid material and legal risks, the department has advised organisations and individuals not to participate in the multi-level business network in Việt Nam at this time, said a representative of the department. — VNS

M – The summer is rapidly – and erratically – tumbling into winter. While I am not fond of it, Mango is looking forward to playing outside in the snow with me very gleefully. D is morose about Nectarine and trying to squeeze in time out of the house without visiting the same malls over and over again. Sundays were tougher than other days (most place do not open until noon), but for now we have ger-nak-sticks (gym) in the mornings, which Mango absolutely loves. She even tried to sit in on the class of older children after her session was over (didn't work).
Somehow, we are thinking that Nectarine may shimmy past the crawling phase entirely. Right now she drags herself across the floor, anchors a leg and slides a bit further. Oh, she also rolls a lot too. One theory (straight from a speech therapist) is that if she doesn't crawl, her language may not develop as fully as it could. Guess we'll see soon enough. As it is, she is transitioning to food quite nicely. For the nonce, broccoli seems to be her favourite (steamed) vegetables. As for the puree, she leans towards the 'vegetable and chicken' blend. Yum. A meat smoothie.
Anyway. Life moves and we all change. It is still amazing how different our two children are. Pretty much same environment and love, totally unalike. One example to illustrate. Mango ignored cords; Nectarine finds them anywhere in a room (even the hidden ones) and slides/rolls right for them.
While Mango tolerated the exersaucer/jumparoo/rocker, Nectarine much prefers to explore the underbelly of them.
Ironically, Mango told me recently that when mommy says 'it's okay Nectarine', she is actually telling her to be quiet. Still, Mango calls her 'sweetie' and wants to hug her frequently (still working on her not lying on top of Nectarine. till needs to work on her sharing skills though). D is establishing with her that when she takes a toy from Nectarine, she has to replace it with another one. It's a start.
Very glad we seemed to have avoided the jealousy stage.
Quick calculation.
Born March 2011 = 8 months old. Almost coherently verbal
Born January 2009 = 2 years, 10 months old. Almost past the 'terrible twos'
Side note. We still have lots of Fall and pumpkin pictures. Remind me to squeeze them in – hopefully soon. 🙂

Audi took the wraps off the Q4 e-tron concept at the Geneva motor show this week, previewing a model that it expects to become its best-selling electric vehicle when it enters production next year. Shown fairly close to production form (it'll need some door handles), the Q4 e-tron will share the MEB platform with its Volkswagen Automotive Group siblings. The concept offers a range of over 450 kilometers (280 miles) in the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure WLTP cycle, which is far closer to the EPA cycle than the old NEDC test, landing 10 to 30 percent north of EPA estimates.
Powered by two electric motors making a combined 302 hp, the Q4 e-tron boasts a 0-62-mph sprint time of 6.3 seconds and is powered by an 82-kWh battery that consumes most of the underbody space in between the front and rear axles, weighing 1,124 pounds. Audi says that the concept can accept a maximum of 125 kW during DC fast charging, assuring an 80 percent charging time of around 30 minutes.
"In most cases, the Audi Q4 e-tron concept mainly uses its rear electric motor, a permanently excited synchronous motor, in order to achieve the highest efficiency," the automaker says. "For reasons of efficiency, the drive torque is generally distributed with a rear-axle bias. If the driver demands more power than the rear electric motor can supply, the electric all-wheel drive uses the front asynchronous motor to redistribute the torque as required to the front axle. This also happens predictively even before slip occurs in icy conditions or when cornering fast, or if the car understeers or oversteers."
The production version of this Q4 e-tron will actually be Audi's fifth electric model, presenting a smaller and less expensive alternative to its larger e-tron sibling that is going on sale right about now. The first customers will receive the larger e-tron model at the end of this month, followed later this year by the e-tron Sportback model, which is exactly what it sounds like. In fact, Audi brought the e-tron Sportback to Geneva, clad in some loud camouflage graphics, pairing a more coupe-like profile with the innards of the large e-tron SUV.
The Q4 e-tron, meanwhile, is meant to be the volume model once it goes on sale, serving as an entry point to those ready to make the switch to EVs.
"The Q4 e-tron concept is identifiable as an Audi at first glance by the Singleframe with the brand logo, the four rings," the automaker says. "And it will take no more than two glances to see that this is an electric Audi e-tron: Like the first production Audi with electric drive, the new concept vehicle also features a structured closed surface within a broad, almost upright octagonal frame in place of a traditional radiator grille. Air is supplied via large inlets that extend from below the two matrix LED headlights all the way down to the front apron."
On the inside, the Q4 e-tron concept features a floor made of recycled materials, trading chrome accents for paint finishes friendly to such materials. Seats upholstered with Alcantara trim are designed to carry four in comfort -- the concept is about the size of the Q3 -- offering touch panel controls on the steering wheel along with a main 12.3-inch infotainment screen angled toward the driver.
How close will the production version of the Q4 e-tron be to concept? Well, the 22-inch wheels look like a bit of overkill, given the overall size of this upcoming EV. But the majority of other elements look production-ready -- this model will be rolling out of the Zwickau factory in Germany in just a matter of months. The biggest questions between now and then are whether Audi will offer several different battery capacities and just how much range we can expect from those batteries in the EPA cycle. Also, it would be great to know the price.

Summit High School junior Blake Money will spend his summer competing against some of the best baseball players in the country.
Money is one of 80 high school students nationwide who've been invited to participate in the inaugural Prospect Development Pipeline (PDP) League. This invitation-only event is considered a development and showcase experience for high school prospects ahead of the 2020 MLB Draft.
Representatives from Major League Baseball stopped by Summit High May 10 to officially make the announcement. Money was joined by his family, coaches and classmates as he received his PDP League jersey. He is the first Tennessee student to receive this honor.
"I feel truly blessed and honored for the opportunity to compete with and against the top 80 players in the country," said Money. "I'm looking forward to a great summer."
The PDP League will be held this summer in Bradenton, Florida. Each of the 80 players will be placed on one of four teams, and the event will consist of competitive game play, practice and training sessions with MLB club representatives serving as coaches.
In addition to the on-field opportunities, the PDP League will focus on personal development through leadership sessions, diversity and inclusion training, proper use and importance of social media, nutritional tips and more.

text: atharix 25 Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Hi I know there has been many players suffering from that. There is also vote how many people so we will know. So I did some testing today and here are results: 1. Its issue only on EU - when i switch to US i have no lags like that - i tried US east and US west same setup same map = and i got only little lags - still much smaller then in EU. 2. The detail level, any processing any setup i did , did not changed the lags - so not related to players details setup - i tried lowest, and turn off everything, i tried medium and high, post processing, different setup - no impact. 3. It seems that omega wave - does not have the big spikes there - only small , seems pretty ok for last wave. Even its not smooth as other maps. 4. It seems it changes each waves - sometimes lags are unplayable, sometimes its a little bit better. The less enemies on map - less laggy. 5. More players in group - more lags. I tried 2 players and 3 - both unplayable - solo is laggy but with 3 people is literally teleporting. 6. This issue is not related to hw of pc - i bought new pc 2 months ago - which surpass even recommended hw for DD2 and other maps are going very smoothly. 7. I tried also setup with different equipment - i removed hero with remnants tried different combinations - still the same. The result: Results are clear EU server has big lag issue even on solo games. It looks its related to server performance - as less players on server = less lags with same monsters. It does not even seems to be lane related - same lags with different lanes. What reduce the lags? If you have lags on onslaught lost temple 150+ - just switch to US and you will have less laggy game. That i tested only solo. Also i discovered that in the night when there are not many players in the session - I tested at 9:00 PM, 10PM, 11PM and 12PM the lags are much less, now at 0:17 AM its pretty ok. Also try to switch to US server play a map fast - loose, and try switch back to EU. This helped me too, not sure why maybe luck. I hope this will help you guys - Chromatic - i hope you will address this. Thanks Edited April 12, 2019 by atharix 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After several bad storms hit the community of Maumelle in August, City of Faith was called out to help at the Gables Apartment complex. "We were hit with really bad flooding in Maumelle after the storm hit. No one was prepared for it. There was debris everywhere. I heard there was a need for help at the Gables apartments and knew a bunch of men that would love to help out," said Deputy Executive Director Terry Williams. COF-LR residents were able to help the residents of The Gables move furniture out of their apartments and into storage until the flooding and repair is complete. "I really like helping out. I know that if something like this happened in my hometown, I would want help from others too," stated a resident volunteer.

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Officials are searching for a man who they say attempted to abduct a child Sunday outside a Walmart in Poinciana.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office said the man approached the child in the parking lot of the Walmart at 904 Cypress Parkway and attempted to get her into his car.
"How could he do this? It's my granddaughter," said Niobis Jaquez, the girl's grandmother. "I was devastated."
Jaquez told News 6 her 10-year-old granddaughter went to get something they had left in their car.
The girl told detectives she was walking back toward the entrance of the store when a man in a red car opened the door and demanded that she get in the vehicle. The girl ran back into the store.
"(She said), 'Nana, this guy tried to take me,'" Jaquez said. "He says, 'Get in the car. Get in the car. Get in the car. Get in the car.' I said, 'Who?' She's like, 'This guy, and I told him no, no, no, no.'"
The man is described as Hispanic, 50 to 60 years old, with a bald head. He was last seen wearing a red shirt with a motorcycle on the front and blue jeans.
Officials said the man was driving a dark red Pontiac, possibly a 2008 Grand Prix.
Jaquez said she had a message for the driver: "It's the whole family, the whole community, that you're trying to hurt. Don't you have parents of your own? Or children of your own? I just hope they catch you."
Shoppers said Monday they were on edge after the attempted abduction.
Rosa Perez said she never lets her five grandchildren out of her sight.
"I don't care what I need," Perez said. "If they don't come with me, they are not staying behind."
Parents and grandparents told News 6 that after they heard about the incident, they planned to talk to their children about not talking to strangers.
"Children can be easy targets because they don't know any better," said Jaquan Vaughn, who was with his 4-year-old son. "Unless you teach your kids, they won't know better."
Walmart said in a statement Monday that the store takes the safety and security of its shoppers and employees seriously.
"We'll work closely with local police as they investigate this matter and (we) must refer all other questions to them," the statement read.
Investigators from the Sheriff's Office are looking through hours of surveillance video to see if the man was inside the store before the attempted abduction.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 407-348-2222 or Crimeline at 800-423-8477.

This venue is absolutely incredible, location and decor wise. What sold us in the end though was the staff. Comments and questions were addressed promptly, recommendations and ideas were brought to the table and the staff couldn't have been more professional. I loved the collaborative experience, the fact that a Wolfgang Puck Chef came out to speak to us at our tasting, which was incredible in itself, that the staff remembered us from our tasting and introduced themselves if we didn't know them. We like knowing who we work with and everyone here was just so willing to make our day the best day possible it was heartwarming to have them around. We would visit guest tables and our waitress brought our drinks to us, because we always forgot them at the other table, she also made sure our sweetheart table was ladled with all the food from our buffet, and desserts were piled high. A guest accidentally broke a champagne flute, they cleared it out immediately and didn't make our guest feel bad about it. One of our guests was not as mobile, and they made a plate for her, ensuring she had everything she needed. All our guests were totally gushing about how good the food was, how gorgeous the sunset looked (we had a gorgeous day), which was definitely our intent. Even with a buffet option, the food was displayed with care. Walking to the Gaylord Resort, where we stayed overnight, took 5-6 minutes (truly, I was in heels and a wedding dress). The wedding coordinator was accommodating for general needs, swap outs (due to allergies), custom drinks etc. If you have specific desires just ask and the coordinator will let you know what can be done. They also let our vendors in 30 min before the scheduled time, which was really helpful. We absolutely do not regret choosing the Sunset Room and would recommend them!

The Sunset room was breathtaking. Leslie and the staff were incredible. We were treated to a private dining experience to taste the food that would be served, which made us feel like royalty. The food was delicious and we got to meet and discuss options with the Chef. Leslie was extremely accommodating in letting us get into the venue to setup everything to make our day so special to us. The day of the wedding our guests had a fantastic time, and commented how the staff made the experience that much better. As for the room, we could not have asked for a better venue. The cock tail hour was set up exactly to our specifications. Guests were greeted with a drink, and were able to explore the balcony overlooking the harbor. The doors opened to the reception just as the sun was setting, creating the perfect ambiance for our night. We had 173 guests total, but this venue would have been just as perfect if we had 30 more or 30 less. We can't thank the Sunset Room staff enough and would highly recommend this venue to couples!

Was here for a wedding and reception. It was a beautiful choice for the occasion. The views of the Potomac and the Harbor from the balcony during the cocktail hour were extraordinary!

I visited this location for a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. As an event coordinator, I observe venues all the time to see if the space can be transformed for an event. This venue didn't need much transformation at all. It has a great view as it sits right on the pier overlooking the water and it even has a patio area that is perfect for cocktail hour. On top of the view, the food was also delicious. I had a salmon dish, as well as, a lavender lemonade cocktail and they both were perfect.

Attitudes from the Editor
This industry has got a big PR problem. No, I'm not bad-mouthing the many fine public relations folks out there with whom I communicate every day. I'm talking about the public perception of the technologies our businesses thrive on, in this case, HDTV. You may have read the remarkably inaccurate article about HDTV in the Wall Street Journal in early August, in which the writer claimed, among other things, that HDTV was equivalent in quality to DVD, that manufacturers weren't pushing HDTVs and that very few people were buying them anyway.
You and I know that none of those assertions are true. However, we're not the general public. We wake up and go to sleep with HDTV on our minds. We deal with the issues on a daily basis. But the people who are most important to you are largely getting their information from misinformed sources.
Larry King recently commented on HDTV in his "King's Things" column on CNN.com. His take on the subject: "How many people do you think really want to pay all that extra money for HDTV? Unless you are an electronic freak, most people can't tell the difference between HDTV and regular reception." Has he ever really experienced HDTV?

TWO girls at Halstead Preparatory School have helped each other to memorise the mathematical constant Pi to 416 and 417 decimal places.
The feat could make the nine-year-olds the youngest in Britain to memorise Pi to more than 400 decimal places.
Working together and then being tested separately, Shristi recited to 417 places in 3 minutes, 51 seconds while Melina achieved 416 in 3min 15secs.
The exercise was part of the school's work on Pi Day last month in which pupils were taught about Pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which is useful in many mathematics calculations.
Pi is generally expressed as 3.14, but has an infinite number of decimal places and mathematicians, young and old, compete around the world to memorise the greatest amount.
A 10-year-old boy from Gloucestershire has been credited with being the youngest Briton to recite Pi to 220 decimal places.
Halstead Preparatory School has contacted the "Pi authorities" in Germany to see if Shristi and Melina qualify as the youngest to recite to more than 400 places.
According to the Pi World Ranking List website, Shristi is 22nd in Britain for the number of decimal places and 288th in the world. The world record is 70,030 digits.
Penny Austin, Halstead headteacher, said: "Shristi and Melina love anything mathematical and we are all very proud of their amazing achievement.
"As good friends they had so much fun helping each other learn to recite pi to so many places."

#FreeDejiAdeyanjuNOW: Nigeria Has Returned to Military Rule – Saraki
Senate President Bukola Saraki says it sems like the country has gone back to the period of military rule.
Saraki said this while calling for the release of Deji Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerians.
On December 13, the police arrested Adeyanju for a murder case that he and some of his associates were discharged and acquitted for 2009.
He initially stood trial for the case in Kano in 2000.
Before the arrest, he was arraigned for alleged cyberstalking, inciting disturbance, criminal defamation and promoting terrorism on social media.
But in a statement by Yusuph Olaniyonu, special adviser on media to the senate president, Saraki urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that the fundamental human rights of Adeyanju are not continuously abused.
The senate president said the case "is more political than judicial".
"The way the matter has been handled and the last decision of the magistrate court to remand the young man in prison till after the conclusion of the 2019 polls has presented our democracy in bad light," he said.
"We are now looking like a country that has receded to the period of military rule. The president needs to intervene to find out whether the current travail of Deji Adeyanju has anything to do with his frequently expressed viewpoints against the federal government and why his arrest after leading a protest has now ignited all the various charges being filed against him and if it was true that the charges for which he has been remanded in prison till February had actually being adjudicated upon by the high court.
"It should be noted that prior to the coming to office of this government, those of us in opposition, the APC, freely criticized the Goodluck Jonathan government and flayed their actions and statements without any attempt by the administration to stifle opposing views.
"This administration which benefitted from such open market place of ideas, which is a key tenet of a democratic regime, cannot offer anything less to our people.
"At this point, President Buhari should not allow the excesses and over-zealousness of some security agents to give his government a bad name and that is why I think he should interfere and let the world know the truth about this case.
"It is obvious that this case is purely political and not about any judicial action. I also call on all human rights protection groups to wade into this matter and ensure we do not watch helplessly as the rights of a citizen is being trampled upon."

Today, I watched the Salman Khan starrer 'Ready' at the only theater which screens Bollywood films in Singapore. After, Wanted and Dabangg, the genre of nonsensical entertainment comprising of catchy numbers and over the top action, as in the films in the 1980's and the early 1990's were again back in vogue, with the masses craving for style and raw humor. The USP of Bollywood is not tasteful cinema which will be treated as case studies in film schools internationally like kurosawa ans ray, but rather the absence of it. The south asian ethos is captured in bollywood films which is indeed one of the bigger cultural exports apart from yoga to the global community. The TED Talk delivered by Shashi Tharoor on the rising 'Soft Power' illustrates the the charm of bollywood over an illiterate women in Dakar, West Africa who travels to the main city to watch a bollywood film every month, even though she understands none of the dialogues. Human emotions are powerful enough to surpass the language barrier and Bollywood's true strength is in delivering in the face, raw emotions to the person who does not even understand it.
A Russian and an Indonesian friend of mine was inquiring about Mithun Chakraborty, the famous lead actor of the 1970's and 80's and they remember him by the iconic film 'Disco Dancer' and the song Jimmy Jimmy… Although Mithun Da, might be a 60 plus, character actor now, his work resonates with people who does not understand any word of it, its only by action and mannerisms that he swayed his audiences. Amitabh Bachchan is a legend whose popularity is from Kabul to Kyoto. His charisma and his sheer talent, has made him India's unofficial cultural envoy. Shahrukh Khan was honored with the 'Datuk' title from the Royalty in Melaka, Malaysia for his sheer popularity to bring in tourists in to Malaysia with his film Don. The film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' is a household staple in the Malay speaking world. The power of musicals are undermined by the intellectual community in India. Its our identity as the Hong Kong Film Industry has its action choreography as its mantle, leading to Oscar wins in the main category. Lagaan and Slumdog Millionare showed that Bollywood resonates with even the western audiences. Let us play to our strength instead of being blatant copycats.

Bonsai trees are diminutive and exquisite examples of larger trees. To keep them small, they spend their lives in shallow containers. Just about any type of tree can be a bonsai. Bonsai trees require training to grow into the elegant plants we all know and love. Bonsai nurseries are great place to go to get untrained new Bonsais that you can manipulate into the Bonsai Tree of your dreams.
Pointers on Beginner Bonsai Trees
Beginner Bonsai Trees have are shapeless plants that need to be cultivated into whatever your heart desires. This is a carefully done process. When done incorrectly it can end up doing more damage than good to the life span of your tree.
It is possible to choose from many bonsai styles. Some of the more popular and less complicated ones include the windswept, cascade, slanting, formal upright, informal upright and the bunjin designs. Hobbyists about to grow beginner bonsai trees are able to select any style they will be happy with. While making the purchase, notice if a certain bonsai tree already has a tendency toward a specific shape. Does it have a crooked trunk or branches that suit a particular form? Carefully taking the time to observe the features of a new bonsai can be greatly rewarding, as well as inspiring.
Learning how to prune both the crown and the roots of your beginner bonsai trees is an area you want to put the most time into as it will reap great Bonsai rewards in the future. Pruning implies cutting off specific parts to encourage more growth or to engender a hearty plant. Repotting and pruning of the beginner Bonsai trees also encourage them to grow faster. Further, you will need to replace the container of your bonsai repeatedly every one or two years to stimulate continued health and in order to access the roots for pruning. This will also encourage faster growth, which can mean more pruning will be needed.
Carefully planning on weather conditions for your Bonsai tree is imperative. Since many varieties of bonsai trees which have been shipped from tropical or subtropical regions, are not able to withstand cold and the shallow bonsai containers can freeze when left outside in winter snow and cold, it is
recommended that you bring your beginner bonsai trees inside during the cold season in your area. In addition, most Bonsai trees are outdoor plants that need to be outside for a good part of the warm season. Alternating your indoor and outdoor Bonsai routine is imperative for the plants survival.
The drying out of soil is very dangerous for the trees. To prevent this from being catastrophic, avoid keeping the plants near ovens and radiators. The container can also be placed on top of some pebbles in a shallow water dish to keep the humidity up around the plant. The container should not be directly in the water, just above it. Also, make sure the bonsai plants are not left too close to windows, because excess cold can stress a tree to the point of death. The more research you do to duplicate the conditions of a bonsai tree's origins, the easier it will be to promote its healthy survival for many years to come.
This is all you'll need to remember to care for your beginner bonsai trees, trim the plant regularly, provide water and high humidty, warmth, and occasional feeding, for best growth. Following this plan will bring you many years of satisfying bonsai gardening time.

The $500,000 New York State grant will be used to further develop the property into athletic fields, pavilions, expanded walking trials, more parking with road access to the fields, electrical infrastructure, drainage and irrigation. The creation of a park setting will provide for educational and recreational opportunities for the community.

ANOTHER CASUALTY IN THE WAR ON COLLEGE MEN, THIS TIME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON: Texas student commits suicide after Title IX kangaroo court.
If every other egregious example of a male student denied due process after being accused of sexual misconduct gets ignored – this one should not be.
A male student who was accused of sexual harassment committed suicide just days after the University of Texas at Arlington ignored its own policies in order to punish him. The accused student's father, a lawyer acting as the administrator of his son's estate, is now suing the school for violating his son's Title IX rights.
College administrators, as well as members of the media and legislators, would do well to remember the name Thomas Klocke. Klocke, a straight male, was accused by a gay male student of writing anti-gay slurs on his computer during a class. Klocke vehemently denied the accusation, and administrators who investigated the incident acknowledged there was no evidence to support the accuser's claims, yet Klocke was still punished.
I'm delighted that the father is suing everyone in sight. I think they should also be named and shamed. We don't know the accuser's name, but we do know the name of Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Heather Snow, and that of UTA's associate director of academic integrity, Daniel Moore.
Just days after Klocke was punished, he took his own life. Had Snow and Moore followed proper UTA policy, Klocke might never have been punished in the first place, as he would have been allowed a hearing to present evidence in his defense.
Klocke's father alleges his son was discriminated against because he was a male accused student, and that Snow and Moore selectively enforced UTA's Title IX procedures.
Klocke had no prior history of mental health problems, and by all accounts was happy and looking forward to the future after graduation.
This is a disgrace. People should lose their jobs over this, at the very least.

Freelancing is a way of applying your skills to many areas without being tied to a full-time job. Freelancing involves a lot of time management and juggling different kinds of work and fees. It requires managing your fees and budgets while you need to continually search for more work, and leave enough time for your own personal practice. Freelancing is highly unstable, but allows you the freedom to fit different kinds of work around your practice.
It's pretty hard being freelance. You have to do everything. If I write an email, I'm my own agent, I'm my own artist, I'm my own technician, I'm my own taxman – I'm my own everything. Ninety five per cent of what I do is not creative work, it's research and all the components of trying to battle the general day-to-day office and home balance that I choose to mix because I work at home.
- Janek Schaefer, Artist
My career really started taking off in the final years of my PhD studies. I gave up my temporary corporate job and never looked back… (apart from at the salary). It was fantastic to have the time to write and really concentrate on achieving my goal of being a freelance composer. I help my finances by lecturing at various Universities and I really enjoy doing many different creative workshops. I find that the workshops I present keep me socialised and help me distill things into a certain simplicity. I learn a lot about my own creative work by sharing ideas and gain a lot from the exchange and discussion with the many different groups I work with.
I started out as a trombone player. I studied for four years at the Royal Academy of Music (London) and then spent just under ten years as a freelancer working for orchestras, theatres, early music ensembles and so on. I also taught at various levels – schools, universities and privately. During this time I was also developing my conducting career and formed an ensemble (sound collective) in 2003. In 2006 I was chosen to be Mackerras Fellow in Conducting at Trinity College of Music for a two year period and at that point I stopped playing to concentrate exclusively on conducting.

DREADD Activation of Subfornical Organ Neurons
Circumventricular organs are specialized brain nuclei that lack a complete blood-brain barrier. These areas contain specialized sensory neurons to detect substances in the circulation to subsequently alter brain function. One such region, the subfornical organ, plays a pivotal role in body fluid homeostasis and autonomic function including neurogenic forms of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In this podcast, Editor-in-Chief Bill Yates (University of Pittsburgh) and guest expert Alastair Ferguson (Queen's University) join authors Sean Stocker (Penn State College of Medicine), Haley Nation (Penn State College of Medicine) and Brian Kinsman (Penn State College of Medicine) in an engaging discussion about their investigation into whether selective activation of subfornical organ neurons using virally-mediated expression of Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs, or DREADDs, stimulates thirst and salt appetite. Could neurons of the subfornical organ be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of body fluid homeostatic disorders and cardiovascular disease? Listen and find out.

Hi, I have been doing c++ for about a month and a half and have done 26 tutorials on Youtube and I feel rather proud of learning something I have wanted to do since I was 13 (I'm 20 now) and that is to program. Back to the point. I know a console title can be done with system("title windowname"); but I want to have one that is portable and the stupid firewall (Comodo) asking me to give it permissions. cin.get(); has stopped the firewall were had it wouldn't if I put system("PAUSE");
What I am saying is: is there an alternative to system("title windowname") I'm pretty sure its not portable and I am trying to make my code as portable as possible, to set me in good habits.
Thnx in advance!!
