How to Wear Mens Silver Jewelry
Ah, men and jewels. Or should we say men and jewelry? Either way, it has always been difficult for men to resort to jewels in anyway. Mens silver jewelry is no exception. For some reason, gentlemen refuse to adorn themselves with some of the greatest pieces that ever existed. There are two reasons as to why they might be doing this: they either believe that jewels were specifically designed for women or they simply do not know what and how to wear. That's why we are here. It's time we made it very clear that men's jewelry is one of the greatest concepts to have ever been invented. As long as these jewels are not being used it is a total waste (for men, of course). Let's start with the basics: gentlemen, you would have such a major advantage if you wore some jewels. Why? Because nobody does it! We are not talking about the exceptions here and we are not talking about the large earrings or the flashy bling-bling rings. We are talking about actual rings, bracelets and necklaces that you could be wearing to look a lot more chick. There is a huge difference between jewel meaning for men and women. For women it's beautiful, chick, classy and sexy. For men it's simply cool and young. Are we over the preconceptions? Good. It's time you saw how real men wear their silver jewelry.
Sadly for men, they do not have the same length variation that women have when it comes to necklaces. They can only choose between 18 and 24 inches while women can chose from 14 all the way to 40 inches. Yet this is not at all bad news for men. In fact, they have many alternatives to mens silver jewelry. The best way to look at necklaces for men is from the style perspective. While there are 5 styles that men can approach when it comes to these jewels, only some of them are "worthy" of the silver treatment. Before we go on, we need to mention something extremely important about men's silver necklaces: they are made to look old. Yes, they do not need to look new, they do not need to look like you just bought it on your way to the party and you definitely should not rely on them for giving you the cool vibe. When looking at men's necklaces, they need to look old, a little rugged, as if you received it from your grandfather and he received it from his. Needless to say, it would be really cool if you actually had one such piece, but you do not need to worry if you don't. There are plenty of them out there which also come with the rugged look for a great price and simply wearing it will grant you all the beauty and attention your many pride can crave for. Now coming back to the styles: the first and foremost men's necklace style is the dog tag. Dog tags are very old school and draw their roots from the tags that were used in the army. They are sexy, usually around 18 or 20 inches at max and you can carve details about yourself onto them. The old army dog tags used to have the soldier's name, rank, medical condition and religion carved into them, but you can always replace those with something more modern or a simple image. They are commonly used in informal, laid back situations. Just don't go to a ball room with dog tags.
Then we have silver chains. If you want to do yourself a favor, you can wear the chains without any sort of adornment. The fact that a man is simply wearing a chain is sexy, so your decision alone is a great asset. If you do, however, want to make an impression or have something specific in mind that you would like to add to your chain, you must know that you have the liberty to add anything. The most important part about a necklace is the chain. As long as you got that one right, you're good to go. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the ornament is more important. That is a rookie mistake that plenty of men make, but there is a very simple reason as to why you should not do it: people do not usually see your adornment. If your silver chain shows, that's already a good indicator, but you are going to be wearing your accessory beneath your shirt most of the time. Unless you are wearing a very deep V-neck (which you shouldn't be doing; at least not most of the time anyway), nobody will notice that you have a rock or a feather attached to your necklace. So keep your chain cool and your accessory discrete. Then there's the good old choker. Chokers are interesting because of their metal and leather combinations. There is nothing wrong with leather chokers that have silver parts here and there. They look great during summer and are bound to attract some ladies' attention. Never wear a full metal choker unless you want to look like a dog. As long as silver is a natural addition to your choker and the design looks nice, feel free to wear it, but don't push it.
There are plenty of opinions going on about how men should wear silver rings, or rings in general. But if you want the best advice on rings you only need to keep one thing in mind: do not overdo it. Men's hands are extremely beautiful in general. Adding one ring is one thing, but overadorning yourself is a huge mistake. You can wear one ring (perhaps paired with a watch on your left hand), but there are many situations in which even this is too much. The thing about men and silver rings is that they somehow do not fit on the long term. They eventually get married and start wearing a golden ring, which does not work well with silver to begin with. But supposing that the couple opts for white gold, another silver ring on his other hand might just work. Even then, when holding their hands together, men's hands are not exactly made to wear these jewels. Gold rings are something else entirely and they have a charm of their own. If you want the best advice on the rung matter, it is simply best that you decide for yourself whether a silver ring would work best for you or not. In case you, too, are undecided, feel free to heed the opinion of a shop assistant.
If rings were a total pain, you should know that bracelets are a lot more rewarding for gentlemen. The best way for you to determine your style would be to consult our Most Popular Ways to Wear Your Bracelet guide. You will see our introduction to styles and properly define what works best for you. And yes, ignore the nail polish details because those are not for you. For men, we recommend these two particular styles: the edge and the minimalist. The former style mainly focuses on black and metallic colors in general. You can wear chain bracelets and metallic ones just to create a solid impression. You have a lot of freedom with silver in this particular area because black and metal… well, you get it. The latter style is all about putting together two or three bracelets. You can wear 3 silver ones and you will rock the party no matter what. Just know that a few paired bracelets sort of work like a statement jewel for a woman.
As long as you have them all paired together it is more than enough. Now that we went through all of these jewels, it's time for our regular recap. First up we have the necklaces. There are three main styles that work exceptionally well when it comes to mens silver jewelry: dog tags, silver chains and chokers. Always keep in mind that the chains are the most important part of your necklace. You have all the freedom in the world when it comes to how you want to adorn your necklace, but this freedom comes with a great price: not everyone can see it. This is why it is important to keep the balance and match a cool accessory with a good chain. As for rings, things are a little complicated for men in this area. While some men look exceptionally well with silver rings, others are simply not meant for them. The best way to figure out what is best for you is to check out rings yourself or ask for an extra opinion. Lastly, bracelets can be really cool if you like the edge style or the minimalist. Edge keeps it dark and metallic while the minimalist is a great alternative for you to go simplistic and elegant. Pick your jewels wisely. As long as they flatter you, you can say that you made the right decisions.

Highly Adsorbent Materials for Natural Gas Storage
Texas A&M University
ARPA-E Award:
College Station, TX
Project Term:
09/17/2012 to 12/31/2014
Project Status:
Technical Categories:
Critical Need:
Today's natural gas vehicles are fitted with on-board fuel tanks that are too large, cumbersome, and expensive to properly facilitate the widespread adoption of natural gas vehicles in the U.S. and globally. Additionally, the low volumetric density of natural gas--roughly 30% less energy by volume than gasoline--limits the driving range of natural gas vehicles and makes cost-effective storage solutions a significant challenge. Dramatic improvements must be made to the capacity, conformability, and cost of on-board storage to accelerate natural gas vehicle adoption.
Project Innovation + Advantages:
Texas A&M University is developing a highly adsorbent material for use in on-board natural gas storage tanks that could drastically increase the volumetric energy density of methane, which makes up 95% of natural gas. Today's best tanks do not optimize their natural gas storage capacity and add too much to the sticker price of natural gas vehicles to make them viable options for most consumers. Texas A&M University will synthesize low-cost materials that adsorb high volumes of natural gas and increase the storage capacity of the tanks. This design could result in a natural gas storage tank that maximizes its ability to store methane and can be manufactured at low cost, side-stepping two major obstacles associated with the use of natural gas vehicles.
Potential Impact:
If successful, Texas A&M University's highly adsorbent materials would significantly improve the volumetric energy density of methane, driving down the cost of using natural gas in vehicles.
Improving the convenience of natural gas vehicle ownership could reduce our dependence on foreign oil and make consumers less vulnerable to sudden oil price shocks.
Natural gas vehicles produce approximately 10% less greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles throughout the fuel life cycle.
Compressed natural gas currently costs half as much per gallon of gasoline equivalent. With the average American spending over $2000 per year on gas, enabling the use of natural gas vehicles could save drivers $1000 per year.

Potty Training Tips
Watching your child grow up is such a special time, they begin to talk and venture off on their own! One of the biggest and toughest transitions is saying goodbye to diapers. An important thing to remember is every child is different during this process so do your best to find out what works best for your child!
I know it can seem like a bad idea to offer a special treat for using the potty but it really does help the process. Whether is it a small piece of candy or a sticker, a reward is a great incentive to get your little one moving in the right direction!
Weekend in:
The three day technique if you want to get things done quickly! Get ready for a weekend in and messes to clean up. This process involves putting training underwear on all weekend and letting your child feel when their wet or dirty. Make sure before starting this process that your child is showing interest in the potty. Hunker down and dedicate your weekend to getting rid of those diapers!
Potty Chart:
Create a calendar with your little one! Each day they go without an accident they get to put a sticker up a sticker for that day. At the end of the week they get a special prize. When they go full a month without any accidents take your child somewhere special to celebrate!
Changing Themselves:
When your child has an accident have them take off their dirty clothes, wipe themselves, put them in the wash and put new clothes on (with a little assistance if needed). This helps them see how much work goes into changing their own clothes when they don't use the potty.
No matter what process you use, always show lots of excitement each time they go potty. Kids love to be congratulated on something they've done and it encourages them to try again in order to get that response again.

Everyone in the know, says that you need an online strategy. But, how do you develop and sustain one? Sometimes it is impossible to effectively support all the Marketing initiatives required to implement and even more importantly maintain one . You know what you think when you go to a site that has not been updated since…2000. We have all seen them.
There are many estimates as to how often you should post. Once a day, once an hour, once a month – the frequency usually depends on how much time a business can spend on Marketing. The best approach might be to post when there is a new promotion or something interesting is happening in the business.
If this is still not often enough then providing information on customer and industry trends is a good way to keep the dialog going. A good place to start is to develop a publication schedule. Next, recruit writers. If there are enough resources available some should be from within the business. If not, there are many consultants that can help you.
The same approach can be used in other areas. Newsletters are a great way to contact your customer base. A great newsletter sent to an up to date distribution list is worth its weight in gold. Remember that your Facebook page can be used as a website, you can update it as often as you want to. Add promotions, coupons and anything else that appeals to your Target Market.
Remember that sometimes we all need to use the "Easy Button" and call someone.

Edwidge Danticat (Plough) reflects on the legacy of Martin Luther King in the framework of the 50th anniversary of his assassination. She speaks about Haiti, stigma, the plight of immigrants, and the courage it takes to act with what Dr. King called "dangerous unselfishness." See full article and illustrations by Haitian artists Yvan Lamothe and Roberson Joseph at Plough. [Many thanks to Peter Jordens for bringing this item to our attention.]
[. . .] In April of that same year, the United States had invaded the Dominican Republic over fears of communist expansion in the region. "We inundated that small nation with overwhelming force, shocking the world with our zealousness and naked power," Dr. King said of the invasion of Haiti's closest neighbor. "With respect to South Africa, however, our protest is so muted and peripheral it merely mildly disturbs the sensibilities of the segregationists, while our trade and investments substantially stimulate their economy to greater heights."
He called for the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and other nations to boycott South Africa: "No real national interest impels us to be cautious, gentle, or a good customer of a nation that offends the world's conscience." The world's conscience, he seemed to suggest, should be offended by all types of injustice, no matter the victim nor the source. As he said in December 1965, "The struggle for freedom forms one long front crossing oceans and mountains."
I thought of those words on January 11 of this year, on the eve of the eighth anniversary of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti. I might not have been thinking of that particular speech, had the president of the United States not been reported to have called El Salvador, Haiti, and countries in Africa "shithole countries." A few weeks before that, the president was reported to have said that all Haitians have AIDS and that forty thousand Nigerian visa recipients would never "go back to their huts" after seeing the United States. On a day when we were supposed to be mourning our dead, Haitians and Haitian-Americans found ourselves responding to the president on whatever platform was available to us – radio, television, newspapers, the streets, and social media.
On January 12, an earthquake commemoration procession starting in a square with a statue of the Haitian independence hero Toussaint L'Ouverture in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood turned into a demonstration with Haitian men, women, and children decrying the president's alleged racist remarks. Haitian Ambassador Paul Altidor, who just weeks earlier had published an opinion piece in the New York Times titled "Our Country Deserves Your Respect, Not Your Pity," made several television appearances reminding American viewers that Haiti and the United States were the first two republics in the Western Hemisphere, that the two countries had strong historical ties, and that Haitian soldiers fought alongside American troops in the Revolutionary War. Ambassador Altidor also highlighted the contributions of Haitians and Haitian-Americans to today's America, as hotel workers, taxi drivers, teachers, politicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and medical and military personnel. He mentioned that the first non-Native American settler of Chicago, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, was of Haitian descent. As was W. E. B. Du Bois, the African-American intellectual and founder of the NAACP. During an address at Carnegie Hall on February 23, 1968, on what would have been Du Bois's hundredth birthday, Dr. King called Du Bois "one of the most remarkable men of our time." "Dr. Du Bois was not only an intellectual giant exploring the frontiers of knowledge, he was in the first place a teacher," Dr. King said that night. "One idea he insistently taught was that black people have been kept in oppression and deprivation by a poisonous fog of lies that depicted them as inferior." [. . .]

"There is only as much peace as there are peaceful people."
[Both Levertov and Muste were immigrants who contributed much to the development of this country - it should never be forgotten that so much of what we are as a country comes from immigrants and their descendants.]Muste began his work for peace and justice as a young clergyman in protests against U.S. involvement in World War I in 1916 and 1917. Two years later in 1919, Muste with two other clergyman helped the mostly immigrant textile workers many of whom spoke no English in Lawrence, Massachusetts organize a strike for better wages and better working conditions. For the rest of his life until he died in 1967 Muste was engaged in social justice and anti-war/peace causes. It was A. J. Muste who introduced a young college student and seminarian named Martin Luther King, Jr. to the notion of nonviolent activism.
Recently I came across another quote from Muste that reflects my own evolving sense of what it means to be an activist for peace:
"In a world built on violence, one must be a revolutionary before one can be a pacifist."Muste did not mean "revolutionary" in the sense of engaging in violence against violence, but rather one must focus on ending social injustices first. In the same essay as the above quote, Muste went on to say:
"There is a certain indolence in us, a wish not to be disturbed, which tempts us to think that when things are quiet, all is well. Subconsciously, we tend to give the preference to 'social peace,' though it be only apparent, because our lives and possessions seem then secure. Actually, human beings acquiesce too easily in evil conditions; they rebel far too little and too seldom. There is nothing noble about acquiescence in a cramped life or mere submission to superior force."This hits home strongly to me. I think of all the people I know who don't want to talk about or think about "politics." Because it is contentious and disturbing and hardly "peaceful." Moreover thinking and talking about politics includes risks of disagreement with people we care about, family members and friends. Many people want to vote in elections and then turn their minds off and let someone else (elected officials, etc.) take care of everything. There are times when I find this appealing, to just turn off to politics and power. But that is not the way to peace, because genuine peace is not "social peace" as Muste said.
According to Muste, the foremost task of pacifists:
"is to denounce the violence on which the present system is based, and all the evil — material and spiritual — this entails for the masses of men throughout the world…. So long as we are not dealing honestly and adequately with this ninety percent of our problem, there is something ludicrous, and perhaps hypocritical, about our concern over the ten percent of violence employed by the rebels against oppression."Muste concludes with:
"Those who can bring themselves to renounce wealth, position and power accruing from a social system based on violence and putting a premium on acquisitiveness, and to identify themselves in some real fashion with the struggle of the masses toward the light, may help in a measure — more, doubtless, by life than by words — to devise a more excellent way, a technique of social progress less crude, brutal, costly and slow than mankind has yet evolved."
When I read this I think of Colin Kaepernick, who did not know when he first took a knee that he would end up with a Nike contract, he took a risk to identify with victims of police violence, to condemn a system that does violence to minorities.
Working for peace requires risks. May we all be willing to take some risks in the year to come in the cause of peace.

Get your own Staples Easy Rebates
If you have ever purchased anything from Staples, now you do not have to deal with any annoyances, as you will get your rebate online! Yes, this is true. The company had been struggling to come up with this idea for a very long time, and now it has finally been launched. Purchasing from Staples is easy, and a lot of people have always faced an issue with the rebates. This is the main reason forthe introduction of this new system, by the company. Not only this, but the company also came up with the idea of providing the Staples Easy Rebates i.e. www.stapleseasyrebates.com to the customers and talking to them through hotline numbers. The thing is that the refund will be provided to the customers on the purchases that they will make, rather than being provided to them on the coupons and their codes.
The Redemption
Nonetheless, with the repayment by the company, will be provided to the customers. They can buy whatever they want, no matter the category it belonged to. One thing should be kept in mind that the new product (s) that will be bought by the customers shall be well within the limits of the refund provided to them. The time matters a lot. If you register for the Staples Easy Rebates at the right time, you will get it as soon as possible. This marketing method has worked quite in the favor of the company and has increased its market share all over the world.
Staples Easy Rebates – The Whole Process
In order to file the rebate, you need to have access to the internet. You need to make sure that your internet works in a steady condition. However, you do need to buy something from the company first. After buying it, the rebate request can be entered through the internet. Completing the process is really easy, as everything is mentioned on the website itself. One thing that is really important is, having the receipt of the purchase that you made from the company. The receipt number of the purchase will help you in requesting for the rebate.
Staples Rebates Card
With the help of Staples Easy Rebates, one gets the chance to earn gifts. But it has to be made sure that the product comes up with a rebate. Only then you'll be able to claim the rebate. Such products are usually marked with a certain type of icon or a phrase, "easy rebate." This way, one can save an adequate amount of money on quality items.
Staples Easy Rebates allow the customers to get the rebates by two different means. You can either get them as a check or with the help of a prepaid debit card, depending on the rebate offers. For less than $10, cash can be deposited to the registered PayPal account.
Staples Rebates Login
To fully benefit from the services of Staples, customers first need to sign up online. After successfully making an account, they'll be able to enjoy the various deals. This can be done by clicking the link below:
Users will need to enter their 16-digit card numbers. This way they'll be able to view card balance, card activity history, get a text alert, update cardholder information, download and print cardholder agreement, etc.
After logging in, it can be used at checkout, restaurants, and gas stations and even while purchasing online.
How To Use Staples Easy Rebates
- Making the purchase
It is necessary that the item is purchased from Staples, and that too comes with a rebate. Then the user needs to head over to the Staples Easy Rebates page and choose where the purchase was made, either online or a store.
- Rebate Number
Enter the rebate ID number from the receipt of the purchased item. It is usually under the barcode at the bottom. Often the serial number of the electronic device is to be written down too.
- Getting Registered
One can avoid entering personal information every time a rebate is asked by creating a password. A confirmation page will be seen afterward, and the rebate should arrive within 4-6 weeks. The rebate can be tracked online.
Many people would be asking that how come a gift card restricted only to Staples and staples.com becomes more profitable than a Visa prepaid card which has the feasibility that it can be used anywhere? The following three reasons might convince you to get this:
- The resale for the Staples gift cards is pretty decent. One can get to know the current prices by visiting the Gift Card Wiki or Gift Card Granny, but that too is usually around 80-85% of the card's value.
- There is no expiration on the Staples gift card. So one can use them whenever required in their lifetime. On the other hand, the Visa rebate cards with an expiration date, usually a period of 6 months. Thus, one has to use them during this time frame or let them go waste.
- Visa Rebate cards don't come with a PIN. So the rebate cards can't be reloaded if surprisingly your Bluebird or Serve Survived Bird Armageddon.

While most of the research connecting brain health to physical exercise has focused on cardiovascular conditioning, newer studies suggest that lifting weights or resistance training also supports better mental health.
Scientists in Brazil performed animal studies demonstrating that strength training and aerobic conditioning improve learning abilities and recall.
The animals demonstrated increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that is linked to lower risk of dementia and better brain cell growth.
Other investigators in Japan corroborated these studies and showed that resistance training actually caused the animals' DNA to produce BDNF.
These studies indicate that building muscle strength leads brain cells to perform gene expression, which is the process by which information contained within the gene is used to synthesize genetic products such as proteins.
Scientists have confirmed that strength training is good for humans as well. Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose at the University of British Columbia demonstrated that women who lifted weights showed improved mental function when compared with control subjects.
Benefits were also shown for reasoning and attention skills, which are controlled by the frontal lobe — our "thinking brain."
How does strength training improve our mental health?
Some scientists speculate that our need to attend to form and technique while strength training provides an additional cognitive challenge that further bolsters our neurons.

Chelmsford – With an enthusiastic overflow crowd looking on, Sandi Martinez cut the ribbon officially opening the Martinez for State Senate Campaign HQ in Chelmsford on Friday evening. The standing room only crowd heard words of leadership from Ed King, one of the founders of CLT who talked about Sandi's unwavering support for the people of the district and her promise to be a vigilant advocate for the taxpayers.
King said "When I founded Citizens for Limited Taxation I could only dream of a day when we would have candidates like Sandi Martinez. Her understanding of economics would be refreshing in the Senate. The fact that she really cares about the burdens on our taxpayers is especially welcome." Hs continued "She is a fine candidate and will make a great Senator, Replacing an incumbent who consistently votes for big budgets, wild spending, and higher taxes. I am honored to endorse Sandi Martinez."
Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Tom Hudner spoke of his support for Sandi and remarked about her support for the district and for veterans as a daughter and a mother of veterans and active duty Marines.
Martinez spoke of her commitment to represent the best interests of the district, not special interests. "My priorities would include working to attract business by repealing excessive taxes and regulations that drive business and our young and seniors out of state." Martinez said. She also vowed not to turn a blind eye to corruption which has been so rampant on Beacon Hill recently as the long list of troubled speakers and senators can attest.
Sandi's supporters were served delicious refreshments and pastry by the "Women for Sandi" team.
Sandi Martinez is a Republican candidate for State Senate in the Third Middlesex district. Her priorities include job growth, economic recovery, and lower taxes. She advocates for government accountability and will fight to bring full transparency to the spending on Beacon Hill.

Marketing Your Way to Success
ByUncategorized— — Posted in
Marketing is the keystone to any business, without it you will fail. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The great Yoda once said do or do not, and so it is with any business venture you either use a sound marketing strategy and succeeded or you sit around and wait for things to happen and you plummet straight to the ground and hit bankruptcy in no time. The thing you need to ask yourself is, do you really want this to be a successful business venture or are you just wasting your time?
One of the first steps is admitting that you are probably in way over your head and that you are going to need to get some help. You may not know everything that there is to know about every step there is when it comes to marketing, and that is okay. There are plenty of people out there just like you that have successfully started up a business. You will need to learn some things along the way like search engine optimization, you may also want to figure out a thing or two about mobile first index; this will be a great thing to learn about in today's market as most of the people you will be marketing to probably use mobile devices more than anything else.
Why Are Mobile Sites Important?
You may find yourself wondering why it is so important to create websites that cater specifically to mobile devices rather than simply making them like any other website. Well, one of the reasons is the fact that most people do not want to spend the time zooming and shrinking web pages on their phones. They do not want to scroll around on a page for ten minutes trying to find something or getting past a bunch of irrelevant ads to get to what they are looking for. By creating a mobile-friendly webpage, you can avoid all of this and guarantee a much more enjoyable browsing experience for your customer base and assure that they will share your site with their friends.
What Is SEO and Why Do We Need It?
SEO or search engine optimization is one of the most important aspects of any online marketing plan. This is what draws people to your site through any search engine using a specific keyword that is targeted to your site based on what you have chosen for your products or services. There are two types of SEO, on-site and off-site. On-site SEO deals with a lot of coding and placing metadata into your site and getting the right placement within Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines. Off-site is where you write blogs, articles with specific keywords or phrases and link these words back to your website. You then post these blogs and articles in as many places as you can that will allow you to place them.
Social media is another way that you can do a lot of SEO work by using hashtags along with these same keywords to help draw people together that follow these same keywords. SEO is a method that has proven to work time and time again and is something that will not stop any time in the near future. It is a cheap method of marketing and pretty much everyone and anyone that runs a business of any kind is using it in one way or another.

10 Tips Data Science With Python
Data science is very reliant on software to achieve its objectives. Although the hardware on which the software runs dictates things like computing abilities and speed, data science is down to the software and its building blocks.
In this blog post, Guttulus looks at one of the most important, if not the most important programming language of all time in data science; python. Hailed as arguably one of the best programming languages of this generation, python plays a very important role in data science.
Here is a closer look at data science with python and why the programming language is so significant in the world of statistics. Here are the 10 tips of data science with python;
10 Tips Data Science With Python
Here are some of the reasons why Python is still the most important programming language in data science:
Large number or libraries
Python has a large number of libraries which will help you to carry out a number of tasks in data science. These tasks include automation of the user graphic interface, handle multimedia data, handle databases and to process text data. These are all tasks which are very crucial in the world of data science.
Python is very flexible
Flexibility is the other reason why a lot of people prefer Python to the other data science programming languages. It affords its users the convenience of solving as many problems as possible in the shortest possible time. If you make exhaustive use of Python, there are endless possibilities as to what you can achieve.
Better analytics tools are built from Python
Data science is very reliant on data analytics. Data analytic tools provide information that helps shed light on given data patterns, provide better insights into the data and correlate data from big datasets. The best programming language when it comes to creating analytical tools.
Python is open source and free
The other thing that makes python ideal in the world of data science is the fact that it is open source. Anyone can therefore access it and the fact that it is cheap makes it ideal for any project. Anyone can access python and its large library and use it for whatever project you have in mind.
Python has a large community
The community using a programming language matters a lot. Without a large interactive community, using a programming language becomes very difficult as you can't consult on problems and brainstorm on possible improvements. Fortunately, Python has one of the largest communities and user bases in the world. In case of a glitch or clarification that you need, there are millions of people from whom you can consult.
Visualization and graphics
Python has very many data visualization libraries and features which are needed in data science. Data visualization and presentation is very important in data science as it helps scientists to easily pick up trends and also debug their codes. Things like graphical representations are easier and more interactive when using python as the programming language.
Python is crucial in machine learning
With its packages such as Tensorflow, Keras and Theano, Python provides data scientists with an opportunity to come up with better learning algorithms. This makes python about more than just analyzing data sets. It is used in understanding neural networks and building artificial intelligence systems.
Python is very easy to learn and use
Python is very easy to use on a day to day basis. It is pretty straight forward to learn and once you have grasped the basic concepts, advancing to fundamentals will be very simple. The syntaxes of python are also very relatable and don't need to be commented out for you to understand them.
Data preparation and presentation is easy
Preparing data for presentation using Python is very easy. Programming languages such as R and Java are not as ideal when it comes to presenting the data in a way that other people with little knowledge in programming can understand.
Python is not limited in terms of functionality
R and Java are bespoke in nature which means that they are limited in terms of functionality. Python on the other hand, is a general purpose programming language which means that it can carry out more than one purpose. This is very important in data science as there are very many facets to it and python can handle a lot of the functionalities.
Python classes and courses are available online for free
Good thing about Python is the fact that most of its basics and fundamentals courses are available online for free and anyone can advantage of them. If you are planning to get started on Python, all you need is to hop online today, look for an ideal course to get started and in no time, you will be making inroads in the world of data science.

Painting the Town… Update (27/11/16)
I can't remember the last time I spent some real time with this work which I've been working loosely with since the summer. Today I've spent some good time in the studio playing with my lights and projector, directing them onto the white models I made in the summer. I've finally been able to do what I set out to all those months ago. It was rather satisfying to see these ideas take form, if they worked or didn't was another thing, to actually follow through on a thought that had been there for a long time means I'm happier for it.
So it was all about colour to begin win, wanting to shine block colour, taking the phrase almost literally – painting the town red – with light. I found that the red was coming out more pink, turning to less obvious colours such as green and blue, before finishing with orange. Photographically the results aren't the best. I found myself returning to earlier work, which is not where I want to be heading, I need to move away from the literal yet atmospheric.
Moving onto another idea I had was to project video onto these essentially blank canvases which meant getting the projector out and finding clips of Westerns I have, seeing what work. Not really choosing anything in particular I went for the rollerskating scene from Heaven's Gate (1980) which pushed me to consider how to really use the projector and the model, which with every consecutive scene grew ans grew. With this scene it was more about how can I cove the whole or the majority of the model.
It was nice to see how the image consumed the model, becoming an outdoor cinema, projecting its image against a saloon. The image come up well on the model, it will ultimately vary depending on the model being projected onto. I moved onto a scene from The Searchers (1956) which was more of the same. I went to another scene from the film, this time bringing another model, meaning that the projector had to move back to accommodate them both.
What happened here was that the images took on a status of being bigger, yet still very much part of the same world. When I saw the landscape against the more urban models, this is something I wanted to explore, the background being part of these models in the foreground. Pushing it further with the final gunfight in True Grit (1969) which had wide open spaces to take advantage of.
This particular scene worked more so because of the action, the cinematic presentation of the scene, these gigantic god-like being behind the models. I also moved all four of the models in front of the projector, experimenting with layout, creating shadows, which ultimately don't really matter as the image is still caught on the models in front, the light becomes sculptural. I carried the god-like status through to the next scene – the family massacre in Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) which I was very pleased with, partly down to the close-ups.
For the last set-up I positioned the models into a more conventional street set-up, with a gunfight from A Few Dollars More (1965) which drew me to my final thoughts of the day, linking nicely to the original inspiration of the Marquis in Melton – Street violence, or that of gunfights in the genre. I'd like to see how more models and more gunfight scenes work with this set-up. I still want to see how the cowboy figures work in terms of shadows they produce.
So as you can see I have been very busy and had lots of fun, immersed in the Western. To me this piece is about the violence that is created/depicted in the genre, this is where I maybe leading this piece going forward.
Heaven's Gate (1980)
Due to the sheer length of Hevean's Gate (1980) I have decided to watch it in two parts, just over the hour mark tonight (8/11/14) and I feel that I should hold back until I have seen beyond the Johnson County War horses ride off into town. My initial thoughts are that Michael Cimino for all he is now known for, almost bankrupting a studio by blowing his budget, his film truncated for theatrical release he has produced (only looking at the first half of the directors cut) a masterpiece that is the scale of a David Lean, cover vast stretches of even just one state, the emotional depth of a George Stevens and the romanticism of Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs Miller (1971). If that is even possible for a man who only a few years before caused uproar with The Deer Hunter (1978) has taken on a dark page in his countries own past, as it turned on the immigrants who tried to make a life for themselves, as the Americans years before once did. I can't wait to see how the town react to the state and even country whose middle class army turn on the people who make the country so rich.
I could only wait a single night to complete this epic of a film, putting the label to shame when applied to The Big Country (1958) somewhat. I could see the length issue, needing to bring it in to theatrical release friendly length, which would only hinder the film. Noticing scenes which could be cut back, none entirely removed. Everything is in there for a purpose, prolonged to enjoy the spectacle of their integration with American's who here are living alongside one another in peace. An issue that has become a hot topic in the UK with the borders within the EU for free movement the influx of people from all over Europe, which is having an effect on the fabric of the nation, its politics and infrastructure. I'm just glad we have moved on even from the 1950's and the comments of Enoch Powell wanting to pay each immigrant to leave. That's was progress when compared to the extremes which the US government went to in Johnson County, Wyoming in 1890 with immigrant causing "near anarchy". This conflict between the towns people enabled by the President versus the immigrants is the backdrop for this dusty dramatic epic.
Beginning in 1870 when two friends are graduating from university it seems that the possibilities are endless for James Averill (Kris Kristofferson) and Englishman Billy Irvine (John Hurt) in a sequence that is full of great promise for all the young men and the adoring women who join them in dance and celebration. We can see the beginning of something special for James and Ella Watson (Isabelle Huppert) which's brought to an abrupt close with cut to twenty years later and the shooting of an immigrant from a shadowy figure from behind a sheet, the figure – Nathan D. Champion (Christopher Walken), of authority is looming in, wanting to control if not quell the bubbling situation of fear that is brewing out in Johnson County 1890.
We can see the speed of development in the country, as we cut to not a boom town, but a booming metropolis of a busy main street, horses pulling trailers, men in shops kitting themselves out in the latest suits and guns. It's still very much a mans world. It doesn't quite fit for James/Jim who quickly leaves for his homestead where we find Ella waiting for him. He has all he needs, a sheriffs job and a woman who makes him happy, what more does he want. The fear of a list of 125 names made up by cattle men who fear the influx of new Europeans. His friend Billy's revealed to be a weak man of only clever words and ideals that get him nowhere in the West kept alive only by his class that.
Before the conflict begins we're treated to over an hour getting to know the people of the county that have shaped it, reminding us of the fabric the growing country then and now. Something that is the foundation of most countries that is sometimes forgotten. It's a rich tapestry of scenes that are woven together to give us an image of a cohesive community that ultimately stand-up and fight the cattle men. Ignoring the law that was behind this influx of men is long coasts riding over the countryside with guns in hand, ready to deliver justice.
With all the grand imagery that is the overwhelming factor that makes this film so enjoyable and rewarding. We see a lot of dust in the air, brought up by the wheels on the ground, the sub seeping through the windows. Visually its splendid to watch, taking us to a dirty rough and ready. It falls down on the characterisation, the old friends only have a few scenes together. Cimino is doing what I do when documenting my work, he "milks it" squeezing everything out of his scenes, allowing them to play out. A lot is going on, it's hard to see where any cuts were made for this final directors cut. We could easily have a documentary cut of the film seeing a historical account of the conflict rather than that characters. The only characters that are really focused is within the love triangle which's tolerated and not tested. Jeff Bridges is given a few scenes as John L. Bridges who protects Ella more than anything. The ending is probably my only major fault that never really says anything, asking more questions, whose the girl who sits before a very much hurt James who cannot seem to move on. Maybe this ambiguity that has allowed such respect to build up around this film that is unique from any other in the Western genre.
If we take only one thing away from this controversial landmark film it is the visual detail, the love devotion that goes into every scene, every frame even. We should forget about the controversy behind the film, the massive budget, the incredible number of takes. However it does mark the end of an era in Hollywood film-making, the loss of directorial control, the creative reins have been now pulled in considerably. We still get the rare film that from Terrence Mallick and Scorsese which has their stamp all over it. Now we have films that are generated out of successful franchises, reboots and superhero universes that are proven to make a massive box-office return. The studio has won out, thank god for the indie film.
One-Eyed Jacks (1961)
I watched this based on recommendation from a number of sources, One-Eyed Jacks (1961) is another of those misunderstood films on the time on release by a one-time actor/director, such as Charles Laughton who directed The Night of the Hunter (1955) which also fell foul to similar results. Both now highly regarded classics of both the Western and film noir respectively. One-Eyed Jacks could have been more successful if it was made and released during the dark psychological 50's. Even with the working combination of Marlon Brando and Karl Malden in On The Waterfront (1954) and A Streetcar Names Desire (1951). Maybe it's because the film so intensely charged that it was too much to see two men once bank robbers who rode together turn so viciously away from each other.
With a dream western cast, calling in a huge number of supporting actors who are synonymous with the genre, from Hank Worden through to Katy Jurado and Slim Pickens I can only presume the rest were busy working with John Wayne or John Ford at the time of filming. It's rich is passion and a dark heart that travels from Mexico to the coat of California as two men must find justice. With Brando in front and behind the camera we've a different kind of western, one that is brooding and dark, full of psychology, whilst the actor who had already done a handful of westerns fits easily into the world he is bringing together. With heavy touches of visual theatrics, such as hiding the Mexicans in pursuit behind sandstorm, not properly insight to both Rio (Brando) or the audience who try to make out what they are seeing. This too is where a father/son like relationship that was once strong, built on a shared need for women and greed is broken when Dad Longworth leaves to buy new horses, taking the opportunity to start over again. Leaving Rio with little choice but to give himself up to the authorities that surround him. A price he will not forget to be repaid.
Jumping forward 5 years we see two men making a break from prison, nothing will stop these two men, Rio and Chico Modesto (Larry Duran) from freedom. With one goal, to find Dad Longworth ad kill him. It's not the bandit after the sherif who put him behind bars, it's the betrayed friend righting a wrong that he can't forget. Meeting along the way, Bob Armory, one of Ben Johnson's finest performance outside of the Ford Stock Company and The Wild Bunch (1969) as another bandit who won't be messed around when he joins up with Rio who has a bigger reputation with a gun. Who watching the changes in his new temperamental partner.
On arriving in California we find a now respectable Longworth, a reformed gun-man now as town sherif, with a Mexican family in his life. The life of freedom and abiding the law has paid off for him, everyone knows his past, a past he has chosen to rewrite for himself, which will soon be re-evaluated when Rio arrives to find him. Living the life he could have had, fuelling his anger, the need to kill him grows stronger still. Adding to that he meets Longworth's step-daughter Louisa (Pina Pellicer) who becomes his love interest, yet bordering on incest, if only related by marriage.
Both men are very much the same, shaped by how events five years previously panned out, sending them both in different directions. Both a liars hiding their past from the women in their lives. It's only a matter of time until they both can't take anymore, who will shoot first? There are many opportunities to silence one another, the audience is left frustrated by the will they won't they, not of love but kill, something not often replicated in the western. Surrounded by characters who are all playing against the type we usually see on-screen and so effectively too.
I'm pleased I've finally watched this sometimes forgotten classic, I wonder what else Brando may have directed if he wasn't put off by the public response, with such adult themes. A film that was originally 5 hours long was recut into this still impressive form. Will we ever see that version, much like Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1980) whose directors cut is 4 hours long. Brando's reported in-experience behind the camera was sadly not seen for the genius he was today. Like so many actor/directors of his time that weren't given the chance to make more, with visions so ahead of their time, it's a case of if only.
Professor Neil Campbell (Discussion 22/3/12)
To mark just over a year ago since my chat/discussion/conversation with professor Neil Campbell of American Studies at Derby University, I feel I should share that conversation, to allow you all to understand more where I am coming from, my position on the Western, from my degree show piece and my fascination with the Western genre. I will link the conversation back to my writing on some of the films that we discussed
Q. Why did the Western genre lose popularity in the late 60's?
A. The impact of television was clearly apart of that. The Television programs in that genre, was saturating the market. The genre was more accessible to viewers, here and in the U.S. Hollywood had to look to other styles or forms to gain their audiences. There was also the political climate, that of the civil rights movement that had reached a high, with riots and the death of Martin Luther King. Jr. Also the American people were beginning to question the conflict in Vietnam. This also questioned American values. In-turn the style of the Westerns didn't tap into that at all. Being covered by the likes of John Wayne and John Ford, who were going into decline themselves. The Western doesn't die it simply takes different forms. The classic formula was that a problem needs to be solved, the people can't solve it, so a hero arrives. The film becomes action packed, solving the problem with violence. The classic John Ford's fit the age anymore, being based on mythologies. Younger people are looking for something else. New directors like Sam Peckinpah, and Robert Altman who directed McCabe and Mrs Miller (1971) and Arthur Pen who directed both Left Handed Gun (1958) and Little Big Man (1970). The genre is seen now as Post Western, films about the West in the 20th and 21st century, such as No Country for Old Men (2007), that alters and plays around with the genre. The idea of the hero is now too simplistic. People don't want to question the myth, as it sacrilegious to do so; it's the national narrative, best seen in the Western. Today people are more cynical and sophisticated. Open Range (2003) is a classic western but also modern, so it's like a Ford, but the Ford Western can no longer be sustained. It survives in a new form, the Contemporary America, using Western elements. So the Western has to adapt to the times to survive. The classic Western genre will always have a place, as apart of the culture, but also seen as a product of it times that tried to adapt, but was lost in the idea of the hero. Too simplistic to really survive when political tensions increased around the world and at home concerning America. The WWII required escapism, to have heroic figures saving the day, and seeing America as a place for possibilities and progress, the American dream.
Q. How has the depiction of the Native Americans effected their identity, their political position and racially?
A. In the classic western the Native Americans were seen as inferior, they had secondary importance. This produced a stereotype. They were seen amongst other obstacles to be overcome in order to progress. They were treated as just material. There was slow recognition to see them as human, not wanted to be seen on the same level as white people. Their importance really increased around the time of the civil rights movements. Hollywood had to acknowledge this. At the time of films such as Gone with the Wind (1939) they didn't have the vote. John Ford tried to explore this through his films Cheyenne Autumn (1964) and Sergeant Rutledge (1960) and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). The minorities gradually become more human and less stereotyped. However things don't really change until the Native Americans start to make their own films, in Post Westerns, but not in the Western style, such as Smoke Signals (1998) by director Chris Eyre, being set in a contemporary reservation. The film acknowledges the stereotypes are now apart of their identity, but seen critically and ironically, drawing stupidity out, they can laugh at it. Films such as Little Big Man (1970) is a civil rights film about the Native Americans, with lines such as "Sometimes it's a good day to die". Dances with Wolves (1990) however Campbell sees it as actually quite limited . Sadly there are not many Native American films being made, as they can't get access to funding.
Q. How has the depiction of Early America been distorted by film?
A. It's all about the myth; the first movies that were made during the silent era were about the West. At that time, the frontier was still out there. The Indian wars were still going on. There was a gap between the frontier and the Western expansion; these two grew up together. They had a ready-made landscape which could be mythicized. Dime novels that were being published created heroes out of gunfighter's, for instance Jesse James who has recently been portrayed by Brad Pitt (in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007). Beachamp follows up the idea of the Duke of Death in Unforgiven (1992). The dime novels mythicized the West. This was symbiotic in radio and film and the myth takes over. People don't care for the real West, they are more persuaded by the myth where the hero walks away and we forget the violence. The real record of the West is by the photographers such as Muybridge in landscapes that he took, the photographs are slightly more honest, but get sucked away. Ansell Adams photographs are more empty, there is no community, how America was. Films such as Heavens Gate (1980) and The Deer Hunter (1978) by director Michael Cimino depict the West more honestly regarding immigration, when people just arrived off the boats. John Ford being an Irishman, depicted immigrants but using broken English, at a time in reality when there were all sorts of languages in the country. This is explored more in Deleuze's Cinema 1 & 2. By 1945, things changed dramatically when WWII ended. The Neo-Western was coming into being. Ford represented the old style of Western. Directors such as Altman and Peckinpah were directors of the changing genre. The genre had to find a new form; life was no longer simple. They can't go back to the American dream, or maybe not so, with films such as No Country for Old Men (2007). Also films such as Bad Day at Black Rock (1954) by John Sturges, which was so different with slow ponderings, looking at the internal space and the landscape, looking at war and racism. The Misfits (1961) set in the Nevada open desert starring Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable. The film was based on a book by Arthur Miller directed by John Huston. The film Lone Star (1996) starring Kris Kristofferson set in the modern West, with classic elements but certainly looks at new ideas.
Q. Do you believe the majority of our knowledge of the West now comes from films?
A. In short, yes in Europe and America, only through the images, T.V. adverts and art etc, which take aspects of the mythologies. There are lots of examples of distortion, which come from 19th century American Art. I'm recommended to look at West is America, an art collection that was held in the 1990's. The paintings are mythical, by the likes of Russel, Remington and Beerstat, from which the film-makers borrow from their art. Where as the work of Adams is not original, borrowings from paintings, and film borrows from photographs.
Q. Do you think that the Native Americans have fair representation in film and politically?
A. Yes, generally, but it depends on the voices being heard, more so now through the news, painting and films. However there are problems that still exist, people's perceptions are broadly better and fairer, but still thought to always have feathers. There's a film called The Exiles (1961) about a group of Native Americans who move to Los Angeles from a reservation, after being encouraged by the government. They found difficulties with alcohol, poverty and employment. However they are not shown as victims. The Urban world is so different from where they came from. Lastly the films of Sergio Leone lean towards the New Western genre.

Mischief Steps Out
15 comments:
I hope that Mischief was happy.ReplyDelete
I'm glad Mischief got out and got some exercise. I think he just wants to join in your adventures as well.ReplyDelete
Beautiful ride, Janie... I don't blame the horses for putting on their brakes.. I don't like those lose rocks either...haReplyDelete
Glad you had a good ride though. Sorry you missed photographing the antelope... Maybe you'll see them another time.
Glad Mischief got a chance to kick up his heels! We saw lots of Primrose blooming in NV. UT was so beautiful when we passed through - we were having a snowstorm in Breck!ReplyDelete
Nice to see some of those spring wildflowers in the desert. :)ReplyDelete
The antelope dust made me smile, Janie. How many times have I taken a photo of...OOPS! It's gone. :)ReplyDelete
Our weather here is behind too but a sudden few warm days have rushed a few plants into bloom and then faded them quickly. I wish spring could be a tad more gentle.
The primroses are white! Ours are yellow and won't be out for a while.
I don't blamd Mischief and Coco for being wary of the canyon rocks. They look slippery to me.
Yay for Mischief getting a good ride!!!ReplyDelete
I like that bit of color you found in the middle of it all. You're good at finding things of beauty along the trail;))ReplyDelete
Hope you had a wonderful week....and weekend. (I'm trying to catch up!)
I bet Mischief was happy to get out on the trail again.ReplyDelete
Awesome, Janie, just beautiful!ReplyDelete
Pop over to this gals blog & view the video. Youll love it.
Good morning Janie, with dawn out of sight in my part of the world, I am taking pleasure musing over Mischief and your incredible unlimited knowledge of your surrounding: name of places, wild flowers, etc. It's a pity the antelopes were gone before your camera was ready to set. At least you have the dramatic effect of the dust trail they left for you. haha. As I am closely looking at the those terrains you are following through, your blog title does justice in those specks of trails you'd passed through. I get sidetracked most of the time, so you'll wonder, where on earth I popped out from! Oh this jesty cold autumn morning mood here.ReplyDelete
Janie, what does the phrase, "sulled like a mule," mean?ReplyDelete
Interesting to see that two track vanish in the distance. A very visible trace for being so small.ReplyDelete
For Janey, re: sulled like a mule.ReplyDelete
The term came from the book, Lonesome Dove. I think it's in the first chapter when Gus comments that "the sun was sulled in the sky like a mule," (can't find the book right now, so I'm guessing on the exact words) meaning the sun was stubbornly stuck in the sky. The context was that he wanted to go to the shed and have a drink as soon as the sun went down, but the sun seemed to be taking forever set. "Sulled" seems to be derived from "sullen".
Steve loves the line and uses it all the time, so it just slipped naturally into my post language. No offense intended to mules or mule owners!
sulled like a mule--how interesting. Now I'm going to find a way to use that phrase. I liked the antelope dust and the primroses too. I haven't noticed any in bloom around here. I took a ride out looking for some desert blooms but didn't see any.ReplyDelete

Kritz started its activity in 1976 with a major participation in the Belgian recording business.
3 recording studios were build between 1976 and 1987. In 1991 Kritz decided to go into the musical instrument business and started a large research and development plan to update musical instruments and Commercialise them. Kritz focused its know-how towards the electric guitar.
From 93 up to now, many solutions to tuning and sound problems were realised. This resulted in unseen instruments. Now, some are world's most sought-after instruments. From the beginning we already decided to use all digital means possible to achieve one goal: try to make a guitar that one can "feel" Without influencing the feelings of the musician. For this we needed to be very selective. So, we use computers only for high precision jobs. Not for fast jobs. We use composite materials only for their properties and not because they speed up production. We do not listen to tales, legends or guitar stories. We do not follow trends or designs. Nevertheless, we respect the wishes of the guitarist. So don't expect plastic guitars or space shuttle bodies. Our changings always are "careful". We sometimes do "reverse research". That is the old principle of "trial and error" + the "answer why": we make the craziest things out of an idea. Then we try it, until we hear something "unusually" nice. We trace the origin of this sound and we apply this new "whatever-it-is" on one of our existing, Kritzguitars. This is how the 4Everneck, the Smile frets, the Kritzwood, the Blower pickups, the Complex radius and our Kritz Intonation Compensation (K.I.C) became reality. The reason for this "reverse research" generates from the fact that we cannot make a bar graph of a musicians "feeling". We have no computers who can tell us what a "nice" guitar sound is. So we must take the best out of everything and put it all together.If you design computer software, you do it with a 0 and a 1.A guitar can be made with computers, but it always has to become a good instrument. So the instrument will always have to caress our inside feelings. We will look at it, touch it, play it hear it and feel its vibrations. We will expect it to give us the music that our brains want to express. That is where we become involved. The right combination of different woods. The right pickups for the right musical style. So many details that make the difference. Our guitars are made to express exactly what you feel inside. Always, everywhere.
That's why they sound like no other guitar on earth.

Every person on the planet that has ever spent time fishing in a bass fishing boat, wants one. They are very convenient and most of them are quite fast. So getting from fishing spot to fishing spot is no problem at all. A traditional bass fishing boat sits very high is the water as well, so with the aid of a trolling motor, the angler is able to fish very shallow water. Most traditional bass fishing boats are also equipped with the latest in fish finding technology, so the angler normally has little problem 'finding' the fish. Getting those fish to bite can be the challenge. The interesting thing is that having one of these traditional bass fishing boats is not always necessary.
A traditional bass fishing boat, while amazingly nice, comes with a big price tag. A price tag that can easily exceed $ 25,000! Buying a traditional bass fishing boat is literally like buying a new car. Sure you can get a used one for a lot less money, but buying a used boat is worse than buying a used car. It can be a real game of Russian roulette; you just never know what's going to happen or how a used boat will perform on the water.
A viable alternative to this bass fishing boat dilemma is to purchase an inflatable bass fishing boat. Personal pontoon type boats make excellent bass fishing boats for smaller bodies of water. They are amazingly comfortable and easy to maneuver. And because they're inflatable, these types of bass fishing boats are sure easy to move from one body of water to the next. Imagine being able to fit your bass fishing boat in your vehicle, rather than towing it behind your vehicle?
Most personal pontoon boats come with either 1 or 2 seats, these seats are then attached to platforms that are also large enough to hold your fishing gear. This type of bass fishing boat really is a great option for smaller bodies of water, and is definitely an option for those of you who travel in an RV. Simply keep your boat in your RV until you get to your destination, take it out, inflate it, and you are ready to fish whatever body of water you happen to be near. These types of boats are a great option for RV users, and again are not only a ton less expensive than traditional bass fishing boats, they are a ton less expensive to transport as well.

Critically Taped - On outerwear with critically taped seams you only have taping at the key points where potential leakage can occur. This is acceptable, or even advantageous if you live in a dry climate, if you're more concerned with breathability than dealing with wet weather then outerwear featuring critically taped seams is the way to go.
Thinsulate™ - 3M Thinsulate™ insulation is constructed from unique, high-loft microfibers for increased warmth with less bulk. 3M Thinsulate™ is breathable, water-resistant and durable, all while improving mobility.
Synthetic insulation is measured in grams, so a jacket with a 80g rating simply means that a 1 meter by 1 meter piece of that particular jacket's insulation weighs 80 grams. The higher the rating, the warmer the outerwear.
Recycled Polyester - There are over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris floating in the oceans. Recycled polyester won't fix that but this is better for the Earth than creating virgin polyester for products.
ENJOY & CARE Collar - Roxy has teamed up with a cosmetics brand, Biotherm, to create a unique material imbued with an exclusive formula which protects the face and neck from dehydration caused by freezing temperatures, dry air, and friction from clothing.
Chafe Free Collar - Extra soft tricot liner to protect your face.
Jacket to Pant Interface - Connect your jacket to your pants for better protection from the elements.

FAA: Not All Medications Are Approved For Flying
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the general aviation (GA) community's national #FlySafe campaign helps educate GA pilots about the best practices to calculate and predict aircraft performance and to operate within established aircraft limitations.
A Loss of Control (LOC) accident involves an unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight. LOC can happen when the aircraft enters a flight regime that is outside its normal flight envelope and quickly develops into a stall or spin. It can introduce an element of surprise for the pilot.
Medications and Flight
Medicine, whether it's prescribed or bought over-the-counter, is designed to solve a problem. However, medicine may create real hazards for pilots even if used correctly. Some drugs can compromise your ability to control the aircraft. These meds can affect your ability to think clearly and make critical decisions quickly and accurately.
The FAA is concerned with a medication's side effects in you as well as whether your underlying medical condition allows you to be fit for flight. Level with your doctor, and your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), and tell him or her about your condition. He or she may be able to treat you in a way that will keep you safe, and in the cockpit.
Don't Be "That Pilot"
A pilot may decide that he or she can control a medicine's effects on the body, and decide to fly anyway. Since a medicine's effects can be exaggerated at higher altitudes, that plan could be disastrous. Another pilot may choose to withhold information, and not tell his or her AME, that he or he has a condition that could compromise safety. Not only could the undisclosed condition endanger the airman, but the treatment could also create problems through drugs that limit peak performance in the cockpit.
You must ensure you are fit for flight, and that means being alert, ready, and free from any limiting medications. You must be honest with your AME and tell him or her about any medical conditions you may have, and any medications you are taking. In some cases, he or she can recommend alternative treatment options that could keep you in the air.
Common Meds to Watch For
The FAA is often asked for a list of "approved medications," but the FAA does not publish such a list. The reason is that medications change frequently, and while the FAA may approve medications for some diagnoses, those same medications are not approved for others.
What types of side effects should you look out for in medications? One of the most common side effects is drowsiness, which you'll often see in antihistamines, a medication used to control allergies. These meds can have powerful sedating effects. In fact, one of them (Benadryl) is often used as a sedative. The NTSB has found that sedating antihistamines are the most common medications found in the bodies of pilots killed in accidents.
The second most common sedating drugs are cardiovascular drugs, which include medications for high blood pressure. Some less common drugs include those used to treat diarrhea, seizures, smoking addiction, and depression. Avoid opioids at all times. If you are taking any of these drugs, work with your doctor and/or AME to see if you can find an alternative.
Don't fly while using a medication with which you've previously experienced a negative side effect. If you are using an FAA-approved medication for the first time, see how it affects you before taking flight. Wait 48 hours after taking it and see if you are fit for flight.

Marsh brothers stretch Australia's lead to 133 runs at end of day three
England 346 (Root 83) v
Australia 479-4 (Khawaja 171)
Fifth Ashes Test, Sydney, day three
After Usman Khawaja scored 171 runs, it was Shaun and Mitchell Marsh, who propelled Australia's first innings lead to 133 runs with six wickets in hand at stumps on day three of the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney.
Earlier, Australia resumed the day with a score of 193 for two, trailing England by another 153 runs. In the second over of the day, Steven Smith (83) went on to complete his half-century and few overs later it was Khawaja's (171) turned to celebrate as he brought his maiden Ashes century.
With England hardly troubling the duo, they took the second new ball immediately when it was available but that did little as the duo brought the 150-run stand for the third wicket.
The boundaries came from the blade of Khawaja but as Australia crossed the 250-run mark, a lapse of concentration led to the dismissal of Smith, who edged one back to Moeen Ali (1-125), ending the 188 run stand.
In the final over before lunch, England reviewed a LBW decision against Khawaja but luckily for England Mason Crane (1-135) overstepped otherwise they would have lost a review considering the ball was missing the stumps. Australia added 84 runs in the session.
Runs were hard to come by at the start of the second session with Moeen and Crane keeping things tight. The leg-spinner was slowly getting into the groove as his deliveries turned viciously.
The 110th over from Moeen saw Khawaja hit two boundaries to bring his 150 and five overs later, Shaun (98 not out) was given out caught behind but used a review to overturn the decision.
With a boundary in the 123rd over, Shaun took Australia into the lead and he hit two more in the 126th to reach his half-century. Australia ended the second session with a score of 365 for three.
Crane provided respite for England in the final session as he foxed Khawaja with a wider delivery and Jonny Bairstow whipped the bails off to get a stumping and the home side could have slipped further as Mitchell (63 not out) was continuously troubled by the leg-spinner.
In the 133rd over, England even went for a review for a catch at slip off Mitchell but replays showed the bat had hit the ground. Nevertheless, both the Marsh brothers kept the England attack at bay with an unbeaten 104 run stand for the fifth wicket to take the total to 479 for four at stumps. Australia now lead England by 133 runs with six wickets in hand.
