8 tips to travel sustainably and consciously
You want to travel more sustainably and consciously, but don't know where to start?
Here are 8 ways to be more sustainable when traveling to put less of a burden on Mother Nature!
1- Ban Plastic
Avoid using plastic items like plastic bottles, cups, and straws. Get a set of bamboo cutlery bonus point if you get a reusable stainless steel straw. Use refillable containers as well.
2- Sleep Local
Stay at an Airbnb instead of a hotel. This way you get to know the locals. You also have access to a kitchen, so you can buy groceries at the local market and then cook at home.
3- Be Mindful
Minimize waste of water and electricity. Turn off the lights and AC whenever you leave your hotel room.
4- Travel local
Use the train instead of flying to minimize your carbon footprint when possible. Buy carbon offsets to compensate for emissions made when flying. Opt for public transportation instead of driving or using taxis.
5- Respect People
Respect the environment and culture of the place you visit. Learn and respect norms and traditions to avoid cultural missteps.
6- Eat local
While traveling, avoid packaged or fast food by eating at local restaurants. If you go out, bring a snack and keep the containers for restaurant leftovers or to-go meals.
7- Carry your own toiletries
Bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo to avoid hotel freebies and reduce wastage. Bonus points if you already have refillable and zero waste packaged items.
8- Think before buying
Support small businesses by buying items made ethically and locally with minimum impact on the environment and people. Before buying souvenirs ask, if you would buy this if you weren't on vacation.
What are your top tips for sustainable travel?

Jeanne Comer, who helped create peace in the world one relationship at a time, died Friday, Nov. 23, at the age of 89.
She was best known as the founder of the Dayton Chapter of the Friendship Force, the organization that matches families around the world for home visits. The Dayton-area club, which has hosted hundreds of world citizens over the past 31 years, is the oldest and largest in Ohio and has been active in exchanges with international friends since 1980.
"The opportunity to meet people in foreign countries and to make friends with them, and to bring others from foreign lands and have them visit us in our homes, it just sounded fascinating," Mrs. Comer told the Dayton Daily News in June, when describing a 1979 article in the Wall Street Journal that inspired her to start the local group. "And it was such an inexpensive way to travel."
The Kettering mother of eight, whose license plate had the word "peace" on it, visited more than 34 other countries over the years. She helped organize the historic trip to Bosnia commemorating the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords and took her 17-year-old grandson along.
"He didn't really want to go, but when we got there, we visited the big cemetery in Sarajevo and he saw one plot that had nothing but babies that had been killed during the siege, he came back and wrote an 'Ode to Sarajevo,' " he was so changed," Mrs. Comer remembered.
Her message of peace will live on, friends and family say.
"Jeanne put Dayton on the map for thousands of people around the world," said Vicki Thompson, a former president of Friendship Force of Dayton. "We have lost a friend, and Dayton has lost an ambassador of great grace, but the legacy of her passion for peace continues."
Mrs. Comer has been honored as one of the Dayton Daily News' Ten Top Women and was presented with the Rosalind Carter Friendship Force Lifetime Achievement award in London, England, in 2000. She is represented in the Dayton Walk of Fame in the Wright Dunbar district and was especially proud of the Peace Pole that stands at Deeds' Point, near RiverScape MetroPark, that was donated by Friendship Force of Dayton. She had a smaller version at her home.
Mrs. Comer was born in Omaha, Neb., and was married to her husband Orville for 69 years. She worked as an executive secretary for Northrop Gruman for 18 years before retiring.
"One positive impact she had on all of us was to make us much more aware globally, aware of the plight of other people around the world, aware of our blessings, aware that we share a common bond," said Judy Imparato, one of Mrs. Comer's eight children, speaking on behalf of the family.
Visitation is from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight at Tobias Funeral Home, Far Hills Chapel, 5471 Far Hills Ave at Rahn Road in Kettering. The funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28 at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations to the Friendship Force, P.O.Box 291992, Dayton, OH 45429 or to SICSA, 2600 Wilmington Pike, Kettering, 45429.

There's no really nice solution to this problem. Here are some potential
An easy fix for this is to drop ant-jsch.jar and jsch.jar into
$GRADLE_HOME/lib. This has a few problems, the main one in your case
that it won't work with gradlew.
Another option is to inject the JARs into the appropriate classloader.
Here's some code to do this. You only need to do this in one project per
build - the root project would be a good option:
configurations { antssh }
dependencies { antssh group: 'org.apache.ant', name: 'ant-jsch',
version: '1.7.0' }
configurations.antssh.each { File jar ->
ant.getClass().classLoader.addURL(jar.toURL()) }
This should work fine with gradle or gradlew.
We will make it easier to use ant optional tasks in a later Gradle
release. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-574Adam

Word that would perfectly describe Michael Jepsen Jensen is "solidity". Dane hasn't used to get under some level and it was the same when it comes to his starts in TAURON SEC 2019. Rider of Falubaz Zielona Góra had been in the game for medals for a long time, but ultimately he had to leave empty handed.
It all started really promising. Dane didn't go to Guestrow as one of the favourites, but except for a poor heat no.5, he was racing really well. Two "threes" in the main series looked promising. After all, "Liglad" got himself into the race-off heat. There, however, his plans to get through to the final were buried by latter bronze medalist Leon Madsen and Antonio Lindbaeck.
In Toruń, it was slightly worse, even though Jepsen Jensen would start in Get Well Toruń team some years before. At Motoarena, Dane would not cross the finish line as first even once and he ended this meeting after piling only six points. It was not enough to let him through to the race-off heat and Dane had to pack his stuff early. We already mentioned that in Guestrow, Jensen was really close to a satisfying score. In Vojens, before his home crowd, he was even closer. This time, after an effective fight for a spot in the race-off heat, first position in it came! What's worth mentioning, Dane defeated Kacper Woryna on the distance in a spectacular style.
However, he had slightly less luck in the final heat, where up till the very last meters, he was chasing his countryman - Nicki Pedersen, with no result, though. After all, he got the worst sportsman position - fourth, but still with chances for a medal, he headed to Chorzów.
Ahead of the last round, Jensen was only three points down to Mikkel Michelsen, who was third back then. In such case, difference between a possible success or a failure, comes in details. Unluckily for Jensen, he was clearly lacking in wins. He would gather twos and ones, which couldn't let him guarantee fighting for a medal.
At the end of the day, Dane's season can be described at most as a decent one. He did not reach for the TOP 3 spot or even TOP 5. In Guestrow and Vojens, he missed his luck by inches, but in both cases it were his rivals who were smarter. Let's just hope that it was not a final word of this sympathetic Dane in SEC series.

Link Belt 250 X 3 Excavator with instructions
Jurgen Krooshoop posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamFollowing up on the Zorex-220 PF-excavator, I found that there were some things that could be improved. Inspired by the colour-scheme of the USA-based Link-Belt Excavators, I started designing a new excavator. Allthough the principles and scale are basically the same as the Zorex, there are many differences: * Link Belt is based on a real existing machine, Zorex is just a typical excavator* Link Belt has fully studless chassis, completely hiding the drivetrain inside the chassis, while maintaining the suspension* Improved driving and slewing thanks to a roller.* Uses L-motor for slewing* Openable cabin-door, cabin-roof, superstructure-side-doors and opening top.* More detailed interior* Greebles mimicing the insides of the machine* Improved scaling by extending boom and tracks Link Belt & SBrick Some weeks before Lego World 2014, I was contacted by the Sbrick-team, asking if I would like to demonstrate the Sbrick at Lego World. They sent me the Sbricks and this excavator was chosen to be the test-model for there prototype-Sbricks. The tests at Lego World turned out succesfull, the model and the Bluetooth-controlled Sbricks performed well. Using an iPod Touch as controller, there was no interference with the many PF-controlled models there. Ans the Sbrick-system allows you to controll the speed of the motors, making the controll very precise and more realistic. So when I started making instructions, 2 versions had to be made: 1 for the PF-version and 1 for the SBrick-version.

Lampedusa One Year On: EU Still Failing to Deal with Migration Crisis as Death Toll Rises
Despite 800 people drowning off Lampedusa in the Mediterranean on this day last year, Europe is still failing to deal effectively with the migration crisis. Vulnerable people seeking safety and dignity remain at risk of death, torture and exploitation as they try to reach and cross the Mediterranean to then face a legal limbo once in Europe, said Oxfam in a new report today, 'EU hotspots spread fear and doubt'.
The crossing between Libya and Italy is the deadliest sea route in the world and the death toll for the current year has already reached 219 people. Regardless, nearly 10,000 people attempted to use this route to reach Europe in March alone. Total arrivals to Italy in the first quarter of 2016 are almost double the number of arrivals in the same period in 2015. But before people even reach the Mediterranean crossing points, many are left traumatised due to traffickers' abuse in North Africa.
According to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, migrants detained in the country often face torture, beatings, and forced labor. Recently four migrants were shot dead and 20 wounded while trying to escape a detention center.
22 year old Somali woman, Filsim, said: "I spent 8 months in Libya. We were imprisoned by a gang of traffickers when we arrived in the country. They would leave us for two or three days without food and water, and they beat us for fun. I have so many scars on my breast."
Filsim was finally released when her family managed to pay an US$800 ransom to the traffickers. She had to then pay US$1000 for the trip to Italy.
The EU's response to the Lampedusa drownings this time last year and the Mediterranean crisis as a whole has yielded successive emergency summits, beefing up Europe's border security and bringing in a 'hotspot' plan for Italy and Greece where asylum claims are expedited with a focus on swift rejections.
Three hotspots have been functioning in Sicily since September 2015, but the European and Italian authorities in charge of them have yet to agree a clear legal framework and on how they are run. This leaves a serious gap in clarity on how this system is ensuring respect for Italian, European and international law. The Italian parliament was challenged on this – no response has been forthcoming.
Vincent Koch, Oxfam's Regional European Response Coordinator said: "We have desperate people in desperate need and in desperate situations and the EU's answer is to put their political interests before the safety and dignity of human beings. The EU's approach to migration is adding to the overall death toll in the Mediterranean and ruining people's chances of leading safer lives."
The expedited approach of the hotspots is yielding faster decisions and more expulsions, but as a result many people are being shut out of the asylum system, left stranded and even more vulnerable.
Bakari, from Gambia, said: "After two days, they gave us the paper [the return order] and they put us out on the street without any explanation. There were seven of us, and we slept at the train station in Catania for three months."

People left like this are at risk of trafficking and labor exploitation - and fear often prevents them from seeking help. According to the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, this fear means that those responsible for exploiting migrants can act with impunity -- with women left particularly vulnerable to abuse -- while people who seek to assist undocumented migrants can face criminal charges.
"Migrants are increasingly being left in a legal limbo with nowhere to go and at risk of exploitation and abuse. It is a lose-lose for far too many people, who are deemed lucky because they survived the Mediterranean crossing unlike the 800 people who drowned in the Lampedusa tragedy last year. Put simply: the European Union has to do better than this as the death toll is rising," said Koch.
Oxfam calls for the EU and the Italian government:
- To clarify immediately how the procedures used within the hotspots approach are in accordance with law at European and national level and how oversight is conducted, including recourse to appeals.
- Ensure that, in accordance with law, every person is informed about his/her rights, including the right to ask for international protection, in a form and language they can understand.
- Bring identification and registration procedures into line with full respect of human rights. Use of force to coerce compliance with identification and/or fingerprinting procedures must not be permitted.
- Guarantee that no one is pushed back or expelled without a specific examination of his/her individual situation by the proper authority, which cannot be a law enforcement officer.
- Put an end to de facto detentions. No one must be retained in reception centers for for the sole purpose of ensuring his/her identification. Guarantee access to independent organizations that can provide aid, including psychosocial support, and monitor the respect of human rights, on the ships used for search and rescue operations, at the disembarkation points, and inside the centers where identification takes place.
- Put in place specific protection procedures for vulnerable people, including unaccompanied minors, women travelling alone, pregnant women, traumatized or ill people, and people with disabilities.

Kids for the Earth grant award - 2013
Dear Mindy Habecker & the Dane County Environmental Council,
The Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy's education program has six field trip lesson plans directly linked to grade-level specific curricular units. With your help, this year we began making improvements to those lessons, which were originally created in 2009. The improvements include consideration of the Next Generation Science Standards.
A committee consisting of myself, (match dollars) and two naturalists (grant funded) completed a majority of the enhancements for four of our six field trip lesson plans so far. We intend to complete the remainder in 2014 for the following reasons: 1) the field season has been too busy since June to continue this work on the lesson plans, 2) our strong school district partner informed us that they will be re-visiting aspects of their science curriculum in late 2014 based on new standards. We would like to collaborate with them in this work.
You awarded $900 to this effort and so far $600 has been used. The photos are included in the new lesson plans, reflecting an improvement in the clarity and organization of set-up information for new naturalists running a program. During this year's field season, 10 naturalists and 535 students made use of these improved lesson plans.
Thank you for your support!

Teachers and Naturalists Teaming Up For Streams - 2013
The Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy's education program is working to reach out more to middle school grade-levels. We would also like to support and benefit from data collection regarding the water quality in the Pheasant Branch over time.
With your support, we will be able to support interested teachers on their first water quality monitoring field trips with their classrooms. This will impact teacher confidence and increase the likelihood of future field trips.
In 2013 we spread the word about a summer Water Action Volunteers stream monitoring program training for teachers and naturalists (match dollars) that was already being held in August. Three people from our contact lists attended that training. We have had no requests for stream monitoring field trips in 2013.
Our intention is to plan more targeted outreach to middle school teachers this winter in partnership with the Rock River Coalition, in hopes of increasing interest next year in the equipment, training and naturalist support available to teachers in the district and the Pheasant Branch Watershed.
It is our understanding that we have until April of 2015 to use all of the $800 the DCEC awarded for naturalists support with these anticipated stream monitoring field trips. Please let us know if this is inaccurate.

Equipment for Prairie Burns - 2012
Project Title: Burning Brush
Contact Information: Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy,
Susan Gruber, 2800 Tomahawk Ct., Middleton, WI 53562, firstname.lastname@example.com
Statement of Need: The Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy are committed to arranging for spring prairie burns for 4-5 successive years to manage non-native woody invasives. To prepare for the professionally-managed burns, volunteers and summer interns cut and stack brush piles for winter burning. In the past, volunteers have provided rakes. In the interest of safety and efficiency, fire resistant rakes are needed.
Project Goals and Objectives:
Project Goal: Manage natural areas by removing non-native trees and brush from the prairies, the oak savanna, the conservancy boundary, and along fire breaks.
This goal is directly related to the "DCEC mission to assist public and private groups in recognizing and protecting natural areas in Dane County; to assume an educational role in the protection of the environmental and natural resources; and in general to promote awareness, conservation, and preservation of Dane County's natural resources."
Work Accomplished: During the interns' summer workdays, we used the rakes to burn piles of brush in preparation of a gully restoration project. Near the end of the summer, volunteers and interns piled brush at the homestead site, but we were not able to burn it because of the drought. This fall, volunteers have continued to continue to cut and stack woody invasives in preparation for burning during the winter. From the start of the grant until October 13, 800 volunteers and 5 summer interns have contributed about 3000 hours to removing invasive shrubs and trees.
Outcomes and Impacts of the Project: By burning brush piles in a safe way, we are able to teach interns and volunteers the importance of clearing invasive plants. Burning the piles prior to burning the prairies and oak savanna in the spring will enable us to have a better burn and and reduce its cost so our dollars can go farther.
Sustainability: These rakes are durable and will be able to be used over many years by both the FOPBC and other groups as needed. They are noted for their strength and durability as they are constructed of 4130 aircraft alloy steel that is heat treated and tempered. With the Friends' ongoing volunteer program and summer interns, we will have many opportunities to use the rakes.

Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy, Inc. - Brochure Printing Grant - 2009
Thank you for your grant of $360.00 to develop, print, and distribute a brochure to recruit
participants in our restoration activities – specifically the new Adopt-A-Plot program in the Dane
County Unit of Pheasant Branch Conservancy. I'm attaching a copy. A former high school volunteer
who has moved back to the area worked with our Restoration and Management Committee to create the
brochure. It's awesome!
The brochure is an important tool in recruiting volunteers.
It includes contact information and refers readers to the Friends' website,
www.pheasantbranch.org, for more information.
We have distributed it at public events and to
groups that inquire about stewardship opportunities. In August, we mailed it to all residents
in neighborhoods along the east side of the Conservancy to invite them to learn about restoration
activities. On Sept. 13, we kicked off the fall with a public program about the area and volunteer
opportunities. (The invitation that was mailed with the brochure is attached also.)
This year we have had quite a few new volunteers. Some area organizations have contacted us about our workdays, and they have
recruited their members to join us on a designated day. This summer, we sponsored an intern as part of the Prairie Partners program,
a consortium of 5 environmental groups. Each Wednesday, the five interns worked with restoration volunteers at the conservancy under
the direction of Dane County Parks staff. This provided lots of opportunities for developing our volunteer base. To date, we haven't
found individuals who can take on leadership roles – but we're optimistic that will come as volunteers get more experience. We are also
pleased that 3 high school students are now part of our regular volunteers – two who attended every Wednesday through the summer,
and one who participated in most weekend workdays.
With our participation in the intern program and the volunteer activities that grew with it,
the conservancy is looking great – though there's always more to do. The volunteers have a refined
understanding of the need to manage conservancy lands and how community volunteers can help to
preserve and sustain them.
Through the summer and fall, we have logged a total of 2,650 volunteer hours on restoration activities,
substantially more than other years. In addition, two areas of the Conservancy were added to the
Adopt-A-Plot program. We're looking forward to building on this base in coming years – and to adapting
the brochure with each new year. Thanks for your help in getting it started!

This is a leftover from a few nights ago. It's a 15-minute exposure off the balcony. I wasn't going for a 15-minute exposure, but forgot to shut it off. I'm not sure where the red halo came from, but I suspect it is the filter that's on the end of the lens.
We left this place two days ago, and stayed at a funky old place in Gold Beach last night. It was right on the beach, but it was so windy we barely ventured out. Instead we lounged in the hot tub and swam in the pool, that had an old-school deep end. It said no diving, but I did anyway.
The Coquille River Lighthouse
This morning we headed back into California, and are staying in Trinidad for a few days. We did some hiking in the redwoods this afternoon. It was refreshing after the oppression of the salt air (kidding).
This is in Prairie Creek State Park, where we used to go camping when I was a kid. We'll be coming back out here tomorrow to do some more hiking and have a picnic lunch.
One of my souvenirs from this trip. So far I have a set of green lawn flamingoes, a bobble-head lawn gnome, and this latest addition--Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. I'm thinking of adding Paul and Babe to my office support staff.
Home soon.

Departmental Papers (BE)
Characterizing and Analyzing Diffusion Tensor Images by Learning their Underlying Manifold Structure
Document Type
Conference Paper
Date of this Version
The growing importance of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in studying the white matter architecture in normal and pathologic states necessitates the development of tools for comprehensive analysis of diffusion tensor data. Operations such as multivariate statistical analysis and hypothesis testing, interpolation and filtering, must now be performed on tensor data, and must overcome challenges introduced by the non-linearity and high dimensionality of the tensors. In this paper, we present a novel approach to performing these computations by modeling the underlying manifold structure of the tensors, using a combination of two manifold learning techniques, isometric mapping (ISOMAP) and local tangent space alignment (LTSA). While ISOMAP identifies the dimensionality of the manifold of the tensors and embeds the tensors into a linear space, facilitating statistical computations therein, operations like interpolation and filtering, integral to the process of normalization, require the reconstruction of the tensor in the tensor domain. To obtain this reverse mapping from the linear space to the tensor domain, i.e. to the domain of the original tensor data, we use LTSA. The modeling of the underlying manifold structure renders our approach better applicable to tensor data than existing methods that may not always be able to capture the non-linearity present in the tensors under consideration. In various simulations with known ground truth, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework based on ISOMAP and LTSA in performing a comprehensive analysis of DTI data.

Guest blog by Aurelija Meskaite - vegan nutritional therapist specialising in plant-based diets and a health food enthusiast, www.plantifulnutrition.co.uk
Can diet protect our long-term mental health and prevent Alzheimer's disease? There have been many claims but even though important, it's not something that often comes up in the pub or over a family dinner. I had a look at the scientific research and it turns out, it's not that complicated! The research all points in the same direction.
The Truth About… Healthy Eating (First shown on BBC1 at 9pm 2 June 2016) failed miserably; the reporting was biased and the conclusions misleading – it was more like an advert for the egg and dairy industries!
Being a vegan seems to attract polar opposite reactions from "you can't survive", through "you look healthy for a vegan" to "you look so much younger, it must be your vegan diet".
There are still more negative than positive reactions such as one sneeze and your vegan diet is to blame and people becoming nutrition experts in an instant worrying about your protein and calcium intake. But despite this dated negativity, there's a skyrocketing number of people going vegan for health reasons, celebrities, nutritionists and athletes promoting vegan diets and shops expanding their vegan ranges. Could the wimpy vegan be just a myth about to explode? Let's look at the cold, hard scientific data and see what research says about human health and vegan diets.
Have you heard? There's a vegan food revolution happening! It's been reported in the Guardian, the Daily Mail and the Mirror and this new ingredient now means that there has never been more choice for vegans..
We appear to be witnessing an exponential growth in the availability of vegan options in cafes, restaurants and coffee shops across the country!
As a vegan I have low expectations of finding anything to eat in high street coffee shops except possibly a small bag of crisps or nuts
Last month the World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed that processed meats such as bacon, ham and sausages, do cause bowel cancer and that red meats such as beef, pork and lamb, probably do too... no real surprises there!

SRINAGAR: Train services have been suspended in Kashmir Valley for today and tomorrow in view of a strike called by separatists, a senior railway official said today.
Life in Kashmir has been disrupted today due to a complete shutdown called by separatists against the legal challenge in the Supreme Court on the validity of Article 35A, which bars people from outside Jammu and Kashmir from acquiring any immovable property in the state.
The official said there are apprehensions of law and order problem in the valley, hence train service will remain suspended for two days on August 5 and 6.
The situation across the valley is peaceful with no untoward incident reported from anywhere so far, officials said.
Shops and business establishments were closed across the Valley while all kinds of transport remained off the roads due to the strike called.
The state government has filed an application before the Registrar of the Supreme Court, informing that it is going to seek adjournment of the hearing of the petition in view of the "ongoing preparations for the upcoming Panchayat and urban local body and municipal elections in the state".
The officials said security forces have been deployed in strength at vulnerable places in the city and elsewhere in Kashmir for maintaining law and order.
Various organisations including Bar Association, transporters and traders' bodies have extended support to the shutdown call, comprising Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik.
Protests have been organised across the length and breadth of Kashmir over the past few days with mainstream parties like the National Conference and PDP also holding rallies in support of continuing Article 35A.

Writing a novel is a multi-stage process. It took me years to fully understand this — to realize and accept that you can't do it all at once. And at every stage of development, a writer should expect suggestions, critiques, and corrections, along with (you hope) enthusiasm for the story.
Here are the stages of development, and the kind of comments I might hear at each of them:
1. Brainstorming ("I like the plot, right up to the point where you suggest, 'The heroine finds out that her mom runs a secret government lab that is cloning the winners of American Idol.' Maybe something not quite so sci fi?")
2. Drafting ("140,000 words? I know you wanted to let the writing flow, but… hey, you fell asleep on the keyboard for about 40 pages here, didn't you?")
3. Rewrite ("The story features cops named Darryl, Derrel, Darrel, and his other brother Daril. Do you need all of them? And I thought you said you were going to get rid of the clones.")
4. Revision ("The heroine has three fights to the death with villains on the beach. How about moving at least one of those to the car wash?")
5. Polish ("'She fought him to the death in a frothy foam of slick bubbling sudsy slick soap on the floor of the car wash.' Maybe cut the second 'slick?'")
6. Copy editing (Note from copy editor: "Do car washes use soap, or industrial strength detergent? Please clarify.")
7. Proofreading (Proofreader changes "I have a sawed off shotgun" to "I have a piece of spearmint gum." Author deletes proofreader's correction. Changes text to "shotgum.")
8. Reader feedback ("You don't know what you're talking about. The correct term isn't shotgum, it's bubble gun.")
If you get to stage 8, consider yourself successful.

Now it's not what you're thinking.
Although I AM mad enough to cuss, that's not the F-word I'm referring to. 2016, the election, this world has another F-word on the tip of my tongue.
We all have our preconceived notions and understanding of what we think feminism is, was or is going to be. But let's just define it for all intents and purposes as to where we are now, and where we need to go from here.
Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women. (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism)
So that seems fairly clear-cut, doesn't it? But why isn't it then? Why is it that feminism and feminists evoke such negative connotations?
Reason #1: Feminism is misunderstood.
A lot of people associate bad things with the terminology of "being a feminist." And it's time to reframe and redefine what it truly means.
Malala is a wonderful example of a person who, at one time, did not want to be referred to as a "feminist." She misunderstood the true meaning of the word. She tells her story in her book, I Am Malala. And she spoke with Emma Watson during a 2015 recorded interview posted on The Guardian entitled, Malala Yousafzai speaks with Emma Watson: feminism is another word for equality.
The Guardian reports in their November 5, 2015, article:
Malala told Emma Watson that the actor's speech to world leaders made her change her mind about not describing herself as a feminist. Yousafzai, a Nobel peace prize winner, said she initially thought feminism was a "tricky word" but now believed everyone should be a feminist…"It has been a tricky word. When I heard it the first time I heard some negative responses and some positive ones. I hesitated in saying am I feminist or not?Then after hearing your [Emma Watson's] speech I decided there's no way and there's nothing wrong by calling yourself a feminist. So I'm a feminist and we all should be a feminist because feminism is another word for equality." Malala continues by saying that men "have to step forward" to promote equality of the sexes.
So in redefining and reframing feminism, I can think of no better terminology to use than Malala's words: feminism is another word for equality. Period. Not women getting ahead. Not women seeking to be better than men. Simply, equality for women.
Reason #2: Women still have to be twice as good as men to get the support from both men and women in order to be appointed to top leadership positions.
We have all read the statistics from corporate America regarding women in leadership positions. The 2016 Fortune 500 list includes just 21 companies with women at the helm—compared to 24 last year and in 2014. Or, to look at it another way, women now hold a paltry 4.2% of CEO positions in America's 500 biggest companies.
But what about world leadership positions? How do women stand there?
There are currently 18 female world leaders, including 12 female heads of government and 11 elected female heads of state (some leaders are both and figurehead monarchs are not included), according to United Nations data. These women account for about one-in-ten of today's leaders of United Nations member states. Half of them are the first women to hold their country's highest office.
And the United States is still not on this list.
According to Pew Research, while the number of female leaders has more than doubled since 2005, a woman in power is hardly the norm around the world.
63 of 142 nations studied by the World Economic Forum have had a female head of government or state at some point in the 50 years up to 2014, but in nearly two-thirds of those nations a woman was in power for less than four of the 50 years – including 11 countries (17%) where a woman led for less than a year.
Another 2015 Pew Research Center report on women and leadership found that 38% of Americans believe one major reason there aren't more women in top elective office in the U.S. is that they are held to higher standards than men. A similar share (37%) says the nation is just not ready to elect female leaders. What it boils down to is BIAS.
Why is that? In part, due to our next reason.
Reason #3: Women need to learn how to support other women and overcome their own biases.
In a November 9, 2016, article in Daily News entitled, Poll shows Hillary Clinton would have won the election if women backed her like Obama, writer Greg Smith shares,
The crucial supporters Hillary Clinton needed to send her to the White House didn't show up the way she needed — especially women. The truth is that women don't see other women as strong leaders. The bias that they hold has been shaped by society. It's time to let go of outdated beliefs that limit our ability to tap into the power of women...Surprisingly, President-elect Donald Trump attracted a higher percentage of white women than Clinton — 53% to her 43%, the CNN exit poll data show. But among women of color, she trounced him, winning 94% of black women's support, and 68% of Hispanic women voters.
Why did this happen? Because, plainly stated, women simply do not support other women.
Do you think that your daughter is as good as your son? Are you raising your daughter to believe that she can be anything that she wants to be? Or are you secretly a non-believer when it comes to the power of women?
We each need to ask ourselves some tough questions as a result of this election. Are we truly pursuing equality for women? Or are we just giving it lip-service?
If you and I do not call ourselves feminists and walk out equality for women every day in every decision and action we take, then we are not pursuing equality for women. And we are part of the problem.
We have to fix that. And in doing so, fix part of our broken country.

NSW to take babies away from drug-addicted or abused women
THE New South Wales government is considering controversial new laws which could see babies taken away at birth from drug-addicted or abused mothers who refuse to seek help.
Pregnant women who abuse drugs or alcohol will be made to sign a Parental Responsibility Contract ordering them to undergo treatment for the sake of their baby.
If they refuse, or show no intention of complying, the government will be able to remove the child the moment it is born and use the broken contract to immediately start formal proceedings to place the baby in the state's care.
The new legislation will also extend to pregnant woman who suffer domestic violence.
In those cases, the women will be asked to sign a contract ordering them to either leave their partner, move in with a relative or seek help through domestic violence counselling.
Family and Community Services Minister Pru Goward said the changes were designed to put the child first and provide the strongest possible incentive for troubled mothers to turn their lives around.
"I make no apologies for taking this bold new approach to child protection, which ensures we are putting the best interests of the child at the centre of every decision we make," she said.
The new laws are awaiting final approval from Cabinet before they are submitted to State Parliament.

Spiritual intimacy is more than praying together, going to Mass together, and doing churchy things together. It's understanding the calling to mission, the meaning of the Vocation of Marriage.
We are Christ for one another. And we minister to the Christ who is in our beloved. In spiritual intimacy, we see past the flaws and sins of our sweetheart into the heart where Christ dwells, where the desire to be holy exists deep down.
Our vocation as a couple is to help each other become all that God the Father created us to be. It's the calling to evangelize each other (and children) to grow in faith. It's being strong in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit when the other is weak. And it's listening to our beloved when we are the one who is weak in faith, doubting God's help, or worried about the future.
Spiritual intimacy goes beyond our relationship. It produces the question: How can we help other couples experience the love and power of Christ that's available in the Sacrament of Marriage? How can our relationship teach the world what God's plan for marriage and family life really is?
Spiritual intimacy is heaven coming to earth. And it lasts for all eternity.
Reflection Questions:
- How do I minister to Christ who lives within my sweetheart?
- When my beloved looks at me, how visible in Christ in me?
Strengthen your relationship:
Take turns describing what you like best about your beloved's faith. Then answer: What would you like your beloved to do that will help you with your own faith growth? Why would it be helpful to you? End the discussion with a shared prayer asking the Holy Spirit to strengthen your spiritual intimacy.
This is the seventh in an 8-part series on the intimacies that are so important for a good and lasting marriage.

The General Services Administration is poised to reach its fiscal 1996 goal of bringing local telecommunications charges under $20 per line a move that many observers believe will lead to even bigger cuts through competitive pressures on local phone companies.
Cuts in Overhead Save the Day
The reductions in GSA's rates have been attributed solely to cuts in the agency's overhead charges to users. GSA reduced its overhead by 30 percent this fiscal year resulting in a rate decrease from $24 to less than $21 said Margaret Binns assistant commissioner for field operations at GSA's Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS). GSA likely will reduce overhead by another 90 cents by the end of the fiscal year she said bringing line charges down to an average of $19.97.
Candace Hardesty assistant director for strategic planning and program administration at the Treasury Department said the decrease will give her a strong reason to consider GSA's services when installing telecom lines throughout the country.
"If GSA is lowering its rates we would give them our business if they are the most advantageous service provider for us " Hardesty said.
Treasury and other major telecom users have been giving most of their local service to their own contractors who have undercut GSA's pricing.
Consultant Warren Suss president of Warren H. Suss Associates Inc. said GSA's overhead reductions put the agency in a strong position to demand similar concessions from regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) which traditionally have charged high rates on GSA contracts and have done little to improve them in the past year.
"GSA has shown a willingness to do what they can [to reduce rates] but that is not enough " Suss said. "They will now turn with a vengeance to the marketplace to drive costs down dramatically - enough to attract the two-thirds of federal users not [using] GSA local services."
Not everyone is yet convinced however. Wushow "Bill" Chou deputy assistant secretary for information systems at Treasury believes the prices the department obtains through its own contracts beat those offered by GSA even with the latest decreases.
Suss however predicted that agencies such as Treasury may be won over if GSA can extract lower prices from the RBOCs.
GSA took its first giant step in that direction this month at an industry briefing in New York City at which FTS personnel told local service providers that the RBOCs would lose GSA's business to alternate access providers if they did not bring their rates down. GSA invited vendors to comment on the new Metropolitan Area Architecture program to allow vendors to compete for federal business in 10 cities beginning with New York.
Binns said the RBOCs declined to offer their comments at the meeting although alternate carriers such as MFS Telecom and Teleport Communications Group were extremely supportive of GSA's strategy.

London: A 20 minute brisk walk every day could help beat dementia, as it not only boosts memory but also improves the walker`s brain function, a new study has revealed.
Dr Laura Phipps, of Alzheimer`s Research UK said that while there is currently no way to prevent dementia, the best evidence shows that regular exercise, along with eating a healthy diet, not smoking and keeping the blood pressure and cholesterol in check can help lower the risk, the Daily Express reported.
On a programme of moderate exercise, the researchers examined people aged 60 to 88, out of which half had mild cognitive impairment.
They were all asked to do their walking on a treadmill, guided by a personal trainer and it was found that respondents with cognitive impairment and those without improved their cardiovascular fitness by about 10 per cent.
Scans showed for the first time that the gentle workouts also improved brain function.
All participants improved their memory performance and showed enhanced ability at memory retrieval tasks.
The study is published in the Journal of Alzheimer`s Disease.

15 arrested in Bosnia, France over human trafficking network
Issued on: Modified:
Seven members of a human trafficking network were arrested on Tuesday in Bosnia and eight in France. They allegedly forced Bosnian women and children to beg and steal in the streets of several French cities.
"The operation takes place in the Zenica region (centre), in Jajce (centre), in Vlasenica (east) and in Prijedor (north). Seven were arrested and house searches and inspections are ongoing and a similar operation is underway in France," a police statement said.
The detainees are suspected of having recruited several women and organising their departure to France from 2012 onwards.
"Once there they were forced to steal in the street and to hand over the money," the police statement said. "In some cases, children were also victims."
Bosnian and French police estimate the illicit profit was more than two million euros.
The money was allegedly laundered in real estate purchases and luxury cars in Bosnia.
Bosnia in the Balkans is a transit point for human, drugs and arms trafficking.

Book Overview by Jon M. Quigley
Many organizations have a series of activities or processes that they go through to produce the end product or service. The work will start with some kind of development process, which may be a matter of days, months or years, depending on the complexity of the product or service. As part of the decision to undertake the project, we must understand the business case. Specifically, we must understand whether we can achieve the cost targets for the project and the product or service as compared to the value we present to the customer. If we are a sophisticated organization, we may have a series of actions (tools and techniques) that we undertake to secure the cost of the product or service meets our project objectives. Among these tools are our project management activities and any gates or review points we have in the process that aide in identifying whether we can meet the cost targets. We may also employ tools like Pugh Matrix to facilitate creation and selection of the optimum design concept.
These activities are in place so we deliver the product at the best possible cost such that we can deliver the best value to the customer. There are considerable tools we can use to improve the value proposition. We discuss these tools at length in our book Reducing Process Costs with Lean, Six Sigma, and Value Engineering Techniques. Cost improvement possibilities do not end when we launch the product or service. In fact, as the product or service matures, we may have increased competition or will become in the uncomfortable position of competing on price. We will have to ensure our product or service is ready to compete over the metaphorical lifetime.
To ensure we deliver the best value proposition our organization has a number of possibilities available to develop our value proposition. Depending upon the level of sophistication of our organization, we may use brainstorming or Function Allocation System Technique (FAST) to generate the seed of a design solution. Though thought not effective, experience suggests that brainstorming techniques can work to produce a number of ideas from which to start. Additionally, may make use of value analysis and value engineering techniques. The analysis phase of this activity is called value analysis. The design phase of this activity is called value engineering. Finally, for the design phase (and actually any time we revise our product), we can make use of decision-making tools such as Pugh Matrix to determine the best of our ideas. The Pugh Matrix tool provides a way of comparing a selection of possible solutions to a prioritized set of criterion. This comparison further enables design refinement. For example, we may see how we can take the superior elements of an overall inferior design to improve the design of the most likely to succeed design candidate.
Early on in the life of the product or service, there are few customers and possibly no or not much competition either. We may wish to drop our sale price while improving our profit margins. As the product matures, we acquire more customers along the way. However, if this is a profitable product it is likely our competitors will notice. At some point, we may have to start competing on cost with those competitors as the product races to the end of the useful lifecycle. That is okay, we have a variety of tools to improve our value proposition. As we start to compete on price, for example, we may use tools such as Total Quality Management (TQM) as well as Six-Sigma techniques can help us reduce waste, improve quality and streamline our material handling and product manufacturing processes. However, these are not the only tools at our disposal. We can use those previous value analysis and value-engineering techniques to improve our product cost structure and ultimately our value proposition. We are a bit constrained during these activities since as we have a product already in existence. For example, a major tooling change may not be our most appropriate product adjustment due to the costs associated. We have to work within the confines of the existing design and manufacturing methodology as well as customer expectation. Still it is an exercise that we must go through as the use of these techniques can stave off product or service "death" for some period. As long as we can maintain our margins, we can still produce the product or deliver the service. If we do not have competition in the market yet, we improve our profits. Even if we have competition in the market place, with these value improvement activities ongoing through the product lifecycle, we are better able to maintain our profit margins as we steadily reduce our product or service cost and associated price.
It may not seem obvious, but we can benefit from these exercises even if we do not have the cost pressures due to competition. As we improve the value proposition we reduce any cost barrier to the customer for purchasing the product increasing the "take rate" for the product or service. The same can be true for competitive markets where the organization may have to use cost to attract or retain customers.
It is in our best interest to optimize the product cost from the start of the lifecycle, even during conception. Those up front activities really matter. However, all is not lost if achieving optimum product cost up front was not possible. Even if we did spend time optimizing the design during the conception and development phase, there are ample opportunities to improve the product or service cost in any number of ways during the lifecycle. It should be clear the longer amount of time we spend optimizing the product or service margins, the better corporate stewards we are and the more probable the company will be profitable. We can also say that you can not "cost cut" your way to profitability as a long-term strategy. Generating new products and services is the other half of the equation for maintaining a profitable organization. We discuss all of these tools and techniques in detail, and much more in our book Reducing Process Costs with Lean, Six Sigma, and Value Engineering Techniques.

text: How Do I Establish Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My Kansas City Home? September 20, 2017 If there's anybody around who still hasn't heard about the benefits of geothermal heating and cooling, you might very well inquire if they've been living underground. Of course, if they had, they'd probably miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground. Nowadays, though, most Kansas City homeowners understand at least a smidgin about the benefits of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are contemplating one, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their existing system or as the system they install in that new home they're having built for them. Considering switching to geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are alluring: Trading your old-fashioned HVAC system for a geothermal one could help you slash your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent! Geothermal heating and cooling systems are extraordinarily energy efficient. That, coupled with the fact that they have a benignly symbiotic relationship with the environment, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems available today. Considering the options geothermal systems give you – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, to begin with – you can better insure that the system you choose is the most efficient and effective for your Kansas City home. Geothermal heating and cooling systems are made for generations of trustworthy performance. The fact that they have fewer parts, require less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be installed indoors, out of the weather, surely helps. A geothermal heating and cooling system can be installed any time of the year. The weather and the temperature are no hindrance, and no extra fees are charged for "seasonal reasons." Only a teeny, tiny bit of your yard need be dedicated to a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is necessary is unobtrusive; the "curb appeal" of your home should be completely unaffected. Finally, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming increasingly feasible from a cost perspective – even in the (one would hope) temporary absence of federal tax credits and rebates. Refinements in system design and manufacturing processes as well as growing competition in the marketplace are what's helping drive costs down. Still, as inviting as all this is, a geothermal heating and cooling system is a considerable investment. Whether or not it's the ideal investment for you is dependent not only on your financial circumstances but also on such factors as the land space available for the heat-exchange loop and the present ductwork in your home if you're retrofitting. Before you decide to replace or retrofit your current HVAC system with a geothermal system, talk with the professionals at ECS Geothermal, Inc. We can help you make the right choice – and see that you get the optimal geothermal heating and cooling solution for your Kansas City home. Back To News

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Latina women. Although they have a lower incidence of the disease when compared with other population groups such as non-Hispanic white and African-American women, some studies have shown that Latina women have a higher risk of mortality when compared with non-Hispanic white women. This phenomenon can be explained in part by the higher prevalence of aggressive subtypes in Latina women, particularly the triple negative. Such differences in breast cancer–intrinsic subtype distribution between population groups might be a consequence of a variety of risk factors differentially present among population groups. Here, we provide a full description of risk factors that might be associated with the high prevalence of the triple-negative subtype in Latina women. We assessed demographic (socioeconomic status), modifiable (reproductive patterns, obesity, and physical activity), and nonmodifiable (family history, germline BRCA mutations, and genetic ancestry) risk factors. The observed inconsistencies among different epidemiologic studies in Latinas warrant further research focused on breast cancer subtype–specific risk factors in this population.

Pre-Ordering a sixthreezero bicycle.
Since the response to the Global Pandemic in mid-March, bicycle demand has increased significantly as it is an outdoor activity and one of the few things that people across the country could enjoy during this time in human history.
We have sold out of many of our models, and we are currently offering an option to "Pre-Order" incoming inventory from our factories.
This is a program we have employed so that riders who truly are looking for a new bicycle to ride during these historic times.
How does 'pre-ordering' a bicycle work?
In the most basic sense, it is a reservation on future inventory yet to be ready for sale to riders.
On the product page of the bike you wish to order, you will either see a button to "Notify Me When In Stock" or to "Pre-Order" the bicycle.
If the "Add To Cart" or "Buy It Now" buttons are active, then the bike is in immediate stock and will usually ship within 3-5 business days.
These are examples of how the pre-order and the notifications buttons will appear on the product page:
We do not make products available for pre-order unless we have a verified delivery date.
If the "Notify Me When In Stock" button is present, this means that we do not have reliable delivery dates available, so we don't make the promise that we will ship on a specific date, when in fact we do not have verification that it will. The best thing to do is to sign up for the email notification when it is shown on the product page of the bicycle you would like to order.
Please note, when you receive a stock notification, it may very well be a notice that "Pre-Order" is now available for the specific bicycle you are interested in.
Please visit our Pre-Order FAQ page for more information, or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com✕

QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
What is the difference between the Pave N Trail and the Reach Your Destination? Is it just the rear fender and 7 versus 21 speed?
The Reach Your Destination is more suited for road and bikepath use, while the PavenTrail can be used anywhere really.
The PaveNTrail seating position is a little more leaned-forward than the Reach Your Destination. PavenTrail also has a suspension fork and suspension seatpost, whole the Reach Your Destination is a hardtail.
The Reach Your Destination is a comfort commuter/city bike. The Reach Your Destination tires are semi-slick, so they do not have deep treads for off-road use.
Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any other questions.
with only 7 speeds, will it be okay for very hilly streets
Greetings and thank you for your inquiry.
It is difficult to answer because it really depends on your leg strength and your ability to ride.
I have a lot of hills in my area and I can get around just fine on 7 speeds, but I have very strong legs.
7-speed models are by far the most purchased out of any speed configuration.
We do have a generous return policy if you find that the 7 speeds are not enough for you.

How do you tackle sloping gardens like these?
With severe garden slopes, you basically have 3 options:
- Live with the slope
- Terrace it (quickly or slowly)
- The compromise
1. A garden slope you can live with
The effectiveness of this will, of course, depend on the severity of the slope but if you simply don't have the funds to throw at sorting out levels your best option is to make the most of it.
Free-flowing curved shaped borders will cope much better with slopes and undulations than any other design shapes – avoid straight lines at all costs, especially if your garden slopes from side to side as well as up and down.
2. Terracing a sloping garden
3. The sloping garden compromise
