View the video or listen to the audio of the call here.
One way to use the information from this call is to organize conversations with 4-6 people thinking together in your home or coffeehouse or bar. Such conversations will help build political analysis and the relationships that are the sinew of a strong, resilient, and unified movement.
An example of discussion questions:
Reflecting on the Black Radical Tradition, Brenda Hyde of Southern Echo, Emery Wright of Project South, and Saladin Muhammad of Black Workers for Justice offered some critical directions for grounding and building our movement.
1. One point they made was that since the first organized resistance to slavery, Black radical resistance has been international, and frontline struggles have been intertwined. Questions: How do we move toward unity in a time of great division? What gets in our way? What is an outstanding example of unity?
2. Another point was that we must build base leadership among people who experience systemic oppression. Questions: What does that mean—to build base leadership? What are two ways we can build community leadership in theBlack Radical Tradition?
Watch the video to hear it all again or to hear it for the first time.

Farmer Feeling
Farmers at the National Ag Fieldays update us on life in their patch. Most dairy farmers are feeling reasonably okay going into winter, the drought seems to be well behind them in terms of pasture growth, although the financial cost is still there. Sheep and beef farmers however are struggling with the volatile sheep meat prices.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Tanning Process and other Tanning Beds topics.
Climate can most definitely affect the tanning process, assuming you are tanning outdoors. That's because, depending on your geographic location and the time of year, the intensity of the sun's rays, which emit the ultraviolet light that promotes tanning, varies. People in countries closest to the equator tend to have deep, dark tans year round while those who live in northern climates subject to extreme winter conditions are pasty looking for much of the year. If you choose to tan indoors using a commercial tanning bed or a home tanning bed, climate is irrelevant since you regulate the frequency and duration of your exposure to UV light.

An international team of engineers is joining forces with a disaster educationalist to investigate coastal flooding due to cyclones in three communities within the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka.
Communities in these provinces face a significantly greater risk of flooding from storm surges associated with seasonal cyclones than those in the rest of the country's coastal belt.
Using a range of methods including computer modelling, researchers plan to develop a series of compound flood hazard maps that will take into account storm surge components, rainfall and the future impact of climate change.
The C-FLOOD (Compound flooding from tropical cyclone-induced sea surge and precipitation in Sri Lanka) project is being funded through a grant from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the UK's Department for International Development under the SHEAR Catalyst programme.
It builds upon the previous work of national storm surge flood hazard assessment conducted by the University of Peradeniya and the Coast Conservation Department for Sri Lanka's Ministry of Disaster Management. This work produced storm surge flood hazard maps for the entire coastline of Sri Lanka. However, these maps did not include the effect of precipitation. This new C-FLOOD

Man allegedly stabbed in Dickens Road, Ipswich
PUBLISHED: 06:18 07 September 2017 | UPDATED: 09:44 07 September 2017
Police are continuing their investigation this morning into a suspected stabbing in Ipswich last night.
Paramedics treated a man, believed to be around 30-years-old, who suffered injuries in an incident last night in Dickens Road, which connects London Road and Hadleigh Road.
Police said they were called to Dickens Road at around 10.15pm to reports of a stabbing. It is believed he suffered a single stab wound to a leg.
A member of the public reported that a man had been assaulted with a knife in the street, Suffolk Constabulary said. A number of paramedics and police units from the Ipswich area were quickly sent to the scene.
A police spokesman said the injured man was not seriously hurt and did not require hospital treatment.
He was checked over by paramedics at the scene.
It is believed he was stabbed in the leg but enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.
The spokesman said it is too early to determine whether the latest suspected stabbing is linked to other recent knife-related attacks in the town.
This morning, police confirmed there had been no arrests in connection with the incident. A police cordon was not put in place at any point.
An East of England Ambulance Service Trust spokesman said: "We were called at 10.05pm yesterday to an incident on Dickens Road, in Ipswich.
"An ambulance crew and an ambulance officer were dispatched to the scene to help.
"At the scene we assessed a man, believe to be in his 30s. However, the patient refused treatment and left the scene."

Need to grind small quantities?
To monitor production or for small rate needs, RITEC's vibrating grinder machines offer you the possibility to grind all types of materials with a grain size from 20µ to 25 mm at the inlet for a final grain size from 10µ to 3 mm.
The installation consists of:
- a base unit, made of steel and equipped with an unbalance motor
- a grinding tube
To adapt to your constraints, the grinding tube and all parts in contact with the material can be made of steel, 304L stainless steel or 316L stainless steel.
It can also be coated with alumina on the inside to increase its strength.
Equipped with an unbalance motor, it creates an amplitude that transmits an elliptical movement inside the grinding tube, which is mainly filled with grinding bodies to which your input will be added.
Our vibrating grinders thus offer optimal grinding efficiency with lower energy consumption.
The output grid calibrated according to your needs will allow you to obtain the desired grain size with excellent homogenization.
Applications are diverse and our products are used in grinding lines for: clay, basalt, bauxite, limestone, calcium carbonate, fly ash, chamotte, lime, corundum, sintered dolomite, feldspar, ferrite, slag, lignite, magnesia, aluminium oxide, siliceous sand, silicon metal, glass, zirconia, etc...
Grinding bodies :
RITEC is a distributor of grinding bodies for all types of mills.
Depending on your input grain size, RITEC offers you different types of grinding bodies.
For example, for grinding with a feed grain size of 5 to 25 mm, we can provide the BVL with grinding bars in a special quality and with high wear resistance.
For shredding with a feed grain size of less than 5mm, we will guide you to special quality steel cylinders with high wear resistance.

Chaning the Z value of TCP during the program
edited January 2019 in RAPID Programming
Currently using an IRC5 controller. I'm looking to have my robot preset an EOAT with a part to a camera system where i image the Z offset from the EOAT to the end of the part. From there i need to pass that data to the TCP. Can anyone give some insight? I currently have everything solved up to the variable adjustment of the TCP during AUTO

The NutcrackerSpring 2016 Storytelling
An outstanding, kid - and adult-friendly introduction to that enduring, festive holiday staple, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet, presented by the London Philharmonic, conductor Stephen Simon, and veteran storyteller Jim Weiss (Greathall Productions). The orchestra is top-of-the-line, Simon's adaptation of the music feels seamless, and Weiss' narrative adaptation of the E.T.A. Hoffmann tale about Clara and the Nutcracker Prince, spaced with care within each section, includes vivid descriptions of how the ballet appears on stage. The illustrated CD booklet features an index of scenes, brief, well-written pieces about composer Tchaikovsky; the history of ballet, and of the harp; and a word scramble and crossword puzzle. A wealth of related educational material is available at the Maestro Classics website.

Re: What do you want....from us?
Yes, forums need to modernize!
One of the "problems" as I see it with Facebook is, you don't really "own" anything... Facebook owns it.
For example, do you "own" people who "Like" your Facebook page? Not really...
It used to be that Facebook showed stuff from your page to most people who "Liked" it. That percentage has been decreasing with each year...
So how do you reach more people who "Liked" your page? Easy - pay Facebook money to advertise to reach them!
That proves that it's really about the money... Facebook "owns" everything, your data, everyone else's data, and they also own your ability to reach anyone, including those who "Liked" your page, etc.
The same goes for any Facebook group... You "own" nothing, even if you started the group. Everything is controlled by Facebook... Facebook changes the rules over time. They'll change it to increase their own profit. So, however it works now, is not how it may work in the future...
To put it in other terms, where is the "toll position"? The answer is with Facebook - it is Facebook who owns the toll position for anything on Facebook!
It means they can "screw" you overnight if you are too dependent on them... And they've proven that they'll do it if it means greater and sustained profits for them...
I believe there is an opportunity to "modernize" things like forum software, to utilize more social media tools... (Maybe someone's done it, I don't know.) I don't have time to do it now... Otherwise it could be a good project...
Best wishes,

Praise be to Allah.Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
There is nothing wrong with the centre buying food a little early and then selling it to those who want to pay Zakaat al-Fitr, and then distributing it within the prescribed time.

For as long as I can remember, all the way through my early-30's, I've spent my life adventuring with my brothers. At first it was building forts, riding motorcycles, going to the beach, sailing to Catalina, fishing for Calicos, and then later it became traveling to Baja, Indonesia and Samoa to surf, diving and fishing for large pelagic species of fish. But then, in what seemed like a blink of an eye, my youngest brother Kirk up and left this planet.
Within a couple of weeks of his passing, I started putting together the "Kirk McNulty White Seabass Spearfishing Tournament." I knew I wanted to carry on his name and attaching it to something he loved and cared about was important to me. When Kirk passed away he was captaining a sport fishing boat out of Haleiwa, Hawaii. Shortly before that he had spent a year in New Zealand and Vanuatu as a fishing guide on the small cruise ship, Island Passage. When hunting fish, Kirk enjoyed rod and reel fishing, but what he really loved was being in the water with the fish and being challenged on their level.
This year marks the second year of the contest. In 2014, Paul Hugoboom won the inaugural contest with a 72.70lb. white seabass, the only fish caught over 70 lbs. There were 65 participants, with 10 fish taken. So far this year there are more than three fish over 70lbs and eight fish on the board with a month left in the tournament. We are expecting even more large fish to be caught as the white seabass become more active in May.
The proceeds from this year's tournament will be donated to the King Harbor Ocean Enhancement Foundation in Redondo Beach, California, which is one of 13 white seabass grow-out facilities supported by Hubbs-Seaworld in Carlsbad, CA. Their combined efforts help to improve the white seabass population on our coast, which has declined 90% in the last 50 years due to pollution and over-fishing. The program has been nurturing and releasing white seabass in local waters for almost 20 years, releasing hundreds of thousands of juveniles into the Pacific annually from San Diego to Santa Barbara.
A $10 entry is required prior to spearing a fish and you can register at www.HookBuzz.com The contest runs through May 31, 2015. Fish can be caught anywhere along the Baja and California coast. Verification details can also be found on www.HookBuzz.com
Winners of the contest will be chosen from the spear-fishermen who capture the top three biggest fish and the prizes are fitting to Kirk McNulty's life, as 1st Place includes a Coronado Islands Dive with Guardian Charters, JBL Reaper 100cm Speargun, Electric California Prize Pack, Pelican Products and much more.
An awards ceremony will be held at BodyGlove/Dive N' Surf in Redondo Beach, CA June 14, from 1-4pm where the prizes will be awarded to the top spear-fishermen and products from the sponsors will be raffled off to the public.
Sponsors confirmed as of April 26 have supplied over $3000 in prizes and gear from Electric California, Pelican Products, Body Glove/Dive N' Surf, Guardian Charters, Celestron Binoculars, Dark Seas, Fish 101 Restaurant, Salty Crew, SpearingForum, Reefrunner Gear, Spearing Magazine, JBL Spearguns, Riffe International, HippyTree, Diff Eyewear, Watermans Sunscreen, Daryl Wong Guns and Wilmington Iron Works.

A pack of Marlboros at a convenience store near the Mississippi Capitol costs about $4.99, which includes tax. If the Legislature chooses one possible option for a cigarette tax increase, the same pack could run $5.31.
For a person who smokes a pack a day, that's a difference of nearly $115 every year.
The push for a Mississippi tobacco tax increase has been building for months, with dozens of health advocacy groups urging the Legislature to make the cost of smoking higher as a way of pricing smokers out of the unhealthy habit.
Some legislators followed through, drafting five bills to raise taxes from their current 68 cents per pack to at least $1 per pack. For instance, Senate Medicaid Committee Chairman Brice Wiggins's Senate Bill 2701 would have increased cigarette taxes and directed the extra revenue that would be generated – potentially over $200 million a year – to help cover state Medicaid costs.
Despite legislators' and lobbyists' efforts, none of the bills survived deadlines. Revenue bills had to be passed by either the House or Senate by last Wednesday.
However, a bond bill that still survives could be amended later to increase cigarette taxes. As it stands, Senate Bill 3048 makes no change to current taxes, but by pushing it through before deadline, there remains the possibility of adding such a change before the final deadline for revenue bills in late March. The bill goes to the House for more consideration.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Joey Fillingane told The Associated Press that the goal of those pushing the higher tobacco tax is not to increase state revenue. Instead, in a state with high rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, Fillingane said tamping down smoking by making it more expensive could be one way to improve Mississippians' health.
Fillingane, a Republican from Sumrall, did not disclose how he would vote on an increase, though he did say in a November interview with AP that advocates' original push to increase the tax to $1.50 per pack is "extraordinarily high."
Compared to the rest of the United States, Mississippi's cigarette tax is low, with the 39th highest cigarette taxes. Connecticut comes in first place at $4.35 a pack, and Virginia last at 30 cents a pack.
Mississippi's rate is more comparable to some of its neighboring states. To the north, Tennessee's tax is 62 cents per pack, and to the east, Alabama's is 67.5 cents. Louisiana and Arkansas's rates are $1.08 and $1.15 per pack, respectively.
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work. We do it because it is important to us … and equally important to you, if you value the flow of trustworthy news and information which have always kept America strong and free for more than 200 years.
If those who read our content will help fund it, we can continue to bring you the very best in news and information. Please consider joining us as a valued member, or if you prefer, make a one-time contribution.Click for more info

SKU: MSP5STUDIOCA MPN: MSP5STUDIO-CAContinuing in the tradition of Yamaha's legendary NS10 speakers, the Yamaha MSP Studio series of bi-amplified powered studio monitors reproduce sound neutrally and without flattery, bringing to light the tracking room modes and resonant frequencies which can destroy an otherwise-great mix. Matched power amps provide low distortion. Great for professional and home recording studios alike. Available in 5-inch and 7-inch models. Sold individually.
Yamaha has a history of going against the grain with its compact studio monitors. Rather than boost bass and make speakers that "sweeten" a mix in playback, Yamaha has strived for accurate and neutral sound reproduction since the days of its now-legendary NS-10s. These little speakers are still sought after to this day for their boxy tonethe idea being that any mix which sounds good on a pair of NS10s will sound good pretty well everywhere else.
Yamaha has improved on this design once again with the MSP Studio series of affordable studio monitors. As with its predecessor the HS50Ms and the original MSP5s, the 5" Yamaha MSP5 Studio series speakers have a flat, neutral, slightly midrange sound and plenty of clean gain to bring out all the frequency peaks and nulls which can trouble a mix. This comes in especially handy for home studio use where multiple instruments tracked in the same untreated room can compound upon each other and lead to mud come mixdown time.
Yamaha has carefully paired the MSP5 Studios 5" and 1" drivers with specially-matched dual amplifiers (40 watts to the woofer, 27 watts to the dome tweeter) to prevent overloading from either component as volume levels increase. This reduction in distortion prevents harmonics which can cause inaccurate monitoring and compensation. The MSP5s one-piece, injection- molded enclosure is more acoustically neutral than previous wood designs, while a rounded baffle helps to disperse sound in a wider 120° arc to place you directly in the sweet spot even in less-than-ideal monitoring environments. Speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference from cell phones, radios, and other audio-visual equipment.
Other features include balanced XLR + unbalanced 1/4" ins, High- and Low-frequency trim switches for room tailoring, detachable IEC power cables (included), and On/Off switches. Yamaha MSP5 Studio monitors are backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Each sold separately.

As the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations enters its decisive phase, the tournament remains controversial in its host country. According to critics, its only purpose is to distract attention from Gabon's huge social problems.Hundreds of fans fill the streets in front of the 40,000 capacity Stade d'Angondjé in Libreville, the largest stadium at the African Cup of Nations in Gabon. They come from Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Tunesia – or from the host country itself, Gabon. The sound of trumpets and car horns fills the air whilst the colorfully-clad supporters sport hats and flags to show their allegiances.
One lady, who has a Gabonese flag painted on her cheek, has a message: "It's great for us that the cup is in Gabon," she told DW. "Obviously it was difficult after the turbulent elections but now we have a chance to come together as one people." Gabon, this little known country in central Africa, might be hosting one of the biggest sporting events of the year but it is also in crisis – politically and economically. The Africa Cup of Nations has come at just the right time.
Street battles after the election
At the end August, President Ali Bongo Ondimba was re-elected with a wafer-thin majority – and the opposition suspected corruption. Independent European Union observers also cast doubt on the result asviolent clashes spread through the streets. According to the government, the death toll ranged from three to seven. The opposition spoke of hundreds. The Bongo dynasty has been in power in Gabon for almost 50 years.
More than one in five out of work
Gabon's largest university is called, unsurprisingly, Omar Bongo – after the former long-serving president and father of the current incumbent. Professor Noel Bertrand Boundzanga is an author who teaches at the university. But he is nothing like the cautious analyst you might expect. "We are not anti-football," he told DW in no uncertain terms. "We love football! But you simply cannot invest over 700 million euros ($748 million) in football when the country is in the grip of a political and economic crisis. When schools don't have enough desks and chairs and when hospitals are short on medicine. There's a shortage of everything."
Gabon's lifeblood is oil. When the price of the black, liquid gold drops, Gabon suffers. Unemployment has soared to well over 20% as tens of thousands of people have been redundant. Even the school year started a month late because there was no money to pay the teachers.
A football-mad president
But the government insists that the Cup of Nations is not an attempt to polish up Gabon's wretched image. The country's sports minister, Yolanda Assele-Ebinda, emphatically denied such claims in an interview with German public broadcaster ARD. "We have a president who worships football and sport in general," said the minister. "Since he's been in office, he has used sport as a shop window for our country. Events like the Africa Cup of Nations help to build our infrastructure."
President Ali Bongo Ondimba then invites the German journalists to an exclusive interview in his palace – and he's not alone. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Borussia Dortmund star and Gabon's national hero, is also present. "I think it's a great thing to have the Cup of Nations here," he said, sticking to the official line. "Football can help us reunite our country."
His president on the other hand is effusive. "We have used the tournament as a project for the economic development of the entire country," he explained. When asked if two brand new stadia were really necessary in such a small country, he responded: "Of course! This infrastructure won't go to waste, particularly around the stadia. In Port Gentil, for example, we have built many new roads."
Two new stadia – but mainly empty
The Africa Cup of Nations held in a nation in crisis. 700 million euros invested in new stadia, ostensibly for the football fans of Gabon, but more realistically to appease a president's vanity. The stadia are largely empty. Many ordinary Gabonese are boycotting the tournament. This is the reality behind the facade.

Painting (Written January 2011)
I think I'll paint a scene for you,
Of glories yet to be,
Of silver moons, and mountain views,
And sunsets on the sea.
I have said it, again and again and again, but if I could ask for a single talent, if I could ask to actually achieve one of my goals, it would be to be able to use my words to show people other worlds. If I could succeed in any one thing in life, it would likely be to use my words to change somebody's life for the better. If I could give a blind man the joy of imagining a scene he would never be able to see, even if it isn't the same, I would be happy. Words are the closest we can get to magic, and when we use them to write stories we are the closest we can get to creating any thing. With such power on the tips of our tongues, with such ability just begging to be used, what a waste it would be to not use it well. What a gift, right?
Don't forget to check out the Jog-A-Thon page I put up. It is for my school, and it is a great place, so ever cent helps. C=

NVMe over Fabrics: the storage revolution
5x more performance than current day lightning fast SSD
First there was fast, then came faster. Mellanox states: "The performance of storage technologies has increased 100 times in the last five years as Flash-based Solid State Disks (SSDs), and especially SSDs connected over NVMe, have come to market." Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) provides 25x faster performance over traditional spinning drives (HDD). Such performance offers hugely improved revenue opportunities for high transactional sectors such as FinTech, eGaming and Retail.
SSDs get faster
NVMe is shaking things up in the storage arena. As the new target storage for ultra-low latency workloads, it's a priority issue for storage vendors. They're looking at ways to introduce NVMe to their portfolios to enable the delivery of high bandwidth and low latency storage. It offers speed, scalability and efficiency. The NVM website defines it as:
… "A scalable host controller interface designed to address the needs of Enterprise, Data Center and Client systems that utilize PCI Express® (PCIe®) based solid state drives. The interface provides an optimized command issue and completion path. It includes support for parallel operation by supporting up to 64K commands within a single I/O queue to the device. Additionally, support has been added for many Enterprise capabilities like end-to-end data protection (compatible with T10 DIF and DIX standards), enhanced error reporting, and virtualization."
In terms of speed, NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) provides distance connectivity to NVMe devices with no more than 10 microseconds (μs) of additional latency over a native NVMe device inside a server. Some vendors are ahead of the curve and their offerings do not require engineering. Others need to re-engineer to retrofit NVMe or produce completely new products within their portfolio. Fortunately for those who are still working on their solutions, the market generally gives time to catch up. No organisation wants to gain an early adopter reputation if it implies teething problems with nascent technology. Caution saves cash.
The big question around NVMe-oF is what fabric to choose. This highlights other issues such as the feasibility of using current SAN fabric, whether FC or Ethernet. There are options available including Local Bus (internal to the server) and various NVMe-oF options including Fibre Channel or RDMA.
Network saturation
While current All Flash Arrays are already moving storage performance bottlenecks from arrays into the storage networks, NVMe puts extra workload on the storage network. This extra workload will push Fibre Channel and RDMA over Ethernet to their saturation point very quickly. As an example; just four NVMe devices can saturate a 100GB network.
With this type of demand on the network, dedicated NVMe fabrics could be a recommendation going forward since if offers the chance to remove all other traffic to support the storage SLA on the network.
The state of play
With the NVMe market headed towards more than US$57 billion by 2020, NVMe vendors such as Brocade and Mellanox are positioning themselves as leaders in the market place to leverage this growth opportunity in the drive for businesses to get top performance. The affected storage vendors like Pure Storage, HPE, Fujitsu, Western Digital (HGST and Tegile), IBM, Infinidat, NetApp, Oracle, Dell/EMC and Huawei will continue to adapt as needed.
Others, such as Fujitsu and Western Digital have distinct advantages through running their own research, development and manufacturing programmes, and are most likely to introduce product re-engineered or new to market quicker than the competition.
At Viadex we partner with some of the most innovative All Flash Array vendors who are deploying NVMe technology into their products. We provide informed recommendations around both fabric types, and alternatives to NVMe-oF until such time that the cost becomes less prohibitive. What's your view? Is this the next essential storage strategy? Get in touch to chat about such issues at any time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Less than 1% of our population is involved in farming and ranching, but this small group feeds our nation as well as many others around the world. Here in the U.S., we are blessed with a safe, reliable and abundant, year-round supply of food and spend less per capita on food than any country around the world.
The International Agri-Center® is home to World Ag Expo®, the California Antique Farm Equipment Show®, AgVentures!® Learning Center and an antique farm equipment museum.

Today we're celebrating a holiday very near and dear to our hearts — National Quilting Day! Although it seems that there's a national holiday for just about everything nowadays, National Quilting Day is one we take time to celebrate. Quilting is deeply rooted in our heritage and is one of the most identifiable characteristics of a Vera Bradley bag. From Totes and Handbags to Travel and even our new Home Collection, quilting is a key part of our brand.
It seems fitting that the same month we celebrate National Quilting Day, the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Quilt with a Cause starts making its rounds. Each year, volunteers and friends of the Foundation handcraft a one-of-a-kind quilt that travels across many of our stores to raise money for breast cancer research. Our 2018 Quilt with a Cause started its tour earlier this month and will continue to travel across several states through early June. While it's on the road, you can enter to win the quilt for yourself at any participating Vera Bradley store location! What better way to celebrate National Quilting Day?

When Cutchogue firefighter Drew McCaffery passed away from cancer in August at the age of 41, he left behind grieving friends and family across the North Fork.
To honor his life and to raise funds for cancer research, McCaffery's brother Michael has once again organized a memorial 7K race with proceeds going to the Fire Fighters Cancer Support Network, the Kanas Hospice Center and to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
The Drew McCaffery Walk/Run will be held on Nov. 10 in Cutchogue, beginning at the corner of Route 48 and Bridge Lane and will end at the Cutchogue fire house, where Drew served for the community for 24 years.
The race distance is 4.37 miles (about 7 kilometers) in honor of the fact that Drew was the 437th member of the Cutchogue Fire Department, Michael said, and along the way, runners will pass by Drew's home and the church where he was married to his wife Lauren.
Michael hopes that money raised from the race will help others.
Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10. The race begins at 8:30 a.m.
You can register online here: https://www.drew7km.com/?fbclid=IwAR30HaPVNimbrANiIpapO3FGM2_tV7TDnC0lqRE5IypS4Eu2f5QFbXC5Byo
Each participant will receive a T-shirt and a memorial medal.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'bamboo' tag.
My second day of trekking in Sapa started off better than the first, mostly because I got a good night's sleep and it wasn't raining. After breakfast at my hotel (which incidentally looks a LOT more elegant in these photos) with some other tourists who were also from the same hostel in Hanoi, I walked with my tour-buddy Lisa into town to meet our tour group. The downtown area was bustling with locals buying vegetables in the market, transporting livestock and hassling tourist to buy "hande-made" goods. Our tour guide later told us that she knows most of the goods are imported from China, ha.
I took some great photos of the local women; the kind that really make people jealous you were able to interact with such "authentic" and unique cultures. I know a lot of the women wear their traditional minority clothing for tourists now, but it still looks amazing and the Sapa Valley minority groups still seem to thrive in this area. Our group for the day consisted of multiple guides from the Mao minority village, and 5 females in their late 20's. We were a chatty and energetic group from America, Canada, Switzerland, France and Germany…which made sliding down the muddy hills together all the more fun. Due to the rain our knee-high rubber boots became essential for the hike, and once I stepped in a mud pit so deep that the tall boots saved me by just an inch. While the minority women practically skipped down the muddy hillside, us foreigners labored through the mud-drenched paths, often taking a hand for balance.
Despite the fog, the rivers alongside the muddy trails were a stunning aqua-marine color and the bamboo was thick and impressive. We came across quaint village homes that were stunningly set between miles of terraced rice fields, and somewhat larger villages that were bustling with activity. There were children whipping around on bikes too-large for their bodies, 7 year-olds leading heards of oxen, families busily preparing meals for Tet, pigs and other animals tending to their young, and of course, the minority women hawking their wares. One of the photos below depicts two boys cleaning a pig in the river in preparation for their feast. Also, the photo of two young kids on the steps of a run-down, vacant-looking building, is actually a hospital in one of the towns.
I was a bit sad when the trek ended for the day, as I could've spent a few more hours wandering around those villages…every single thing I saw was picturesque. Little did I know that I probably should've just trekked back to my hotel instead of waiting for our "shuttle bus." We waited for two hours to get picked up due to some miscommunication and the lack of employees during Tet. Then, when a beat-up, rusty, old pick-up truck finally jammed us all in, it broke down 20 minutes later. The driver spent a good half an hour getting the thing running again, while my ever-positive group assured our cute tour guide that we didn't mind.
After tipping our tour guide $5 USD (which nearly doubled her days pay) Lisa and I headed back to the train station. We ate some Vietnamese egg rolls before hopping back on the night train, and this time I slept pretty hard. I arrived back at Hanoi around 5am, checked my email for a bit at the Rendezvous Hostel, and headed back to the airport for a flight to DaNang!
I have a few additional things to add regarding our trip. First off, we almost didn't make our initial bus from Beijing to Tangshan, because the last bus out of Tangshan apparently leaves at 7:30 and we were a few minutes late to arrive. It's difficult to figure these things out because there isn't a posted schedule, you just have to know by word of mouth. Luckily the bus guys were interested in making an extra buck, and we say on our suitcases in the middle of the aisle for the 2-hour trip to Beijing. Upon arriving in Guangzhou, we could immediately tell that the cuisine was different. Lots of restaurants displayed all of their live seafood in aquariums near the entrance of the restaurant, where patrons could literally choose which items they wanted for dinner. Most of the seafood looked alright, but there were large containers of eels and half-dead turtles that made me grossed out and sad. The thing I really don't like, which I have seen in a few cities, are the large glass jars of dead snakes in some type of liquid…which really make me lose my appetite. I have tried chicken heart, pig tendon and picked chickens foot since being here, but the slimy things are the ones that really get me. (I hope you didn't just eat breakfast, sorry!) After visiting Southern China, I definitely believe that saying that "the Chinese will eat anything with legs except a table, and anything that flies except a plane."
As David mentioned, our room/mini apartment in Guangzhou was awesome. In fact, I just created a review on Trip Advisor to let others in on the secret! The weather was so sticky in Guangzhou that I found it hard to leave the comfort of the A/C, my new book and the cute apartment…and I definitely took a few relaxing naps. Despite the fact that it was overall difficult to find enticing food in Guangzhou, there was lots of cheap, fresh fruit being sold on every corner. I ate a good amount of melon and sweet lychees, and had some fresh watermelon juice.
One aspect about the trip that was rewarding was that we could actual tell some difference between local dialects! Yes, we're still tone deaf, but we actually picked up on many sound changes in the northern vs. southern language. For example, many words up here (north) add an "r" sound to the end that is lacking in the southern accent. To play is "wan" in the South instead of "war." Additionally, the southern accent even deletes the "r" sound on some words, like the number ten. This made things a little confusing for us, because usually ten had been "shier" and four was "si", but in the south the both sounded very similar. Anyway, this gets confusing, but we managed to make some accent jokes with the locals about the changing language and felt a little proud for noticing this difference. Now, we are back in Tangshan instead of Tangsan!
Overall, Shamien Island was my favorite part of Guangzhou because it was like a quaint oasis in the middle of the city. David looked up some to top rated Western restaurants (Danny's Italian and Wilber's) which we found after some wild goose hunts, but even there the food just wasn't great. In Guillin we stayed at another nice hotel for around $20/night, and found out the beauty of Ctrip, because we booked our hotel through this site, and found the posted prices at the accommodation to be about 4 times what we paid! I think this case was unique to more touristy places like Guilin and Yangshuo, but we were glad we booked ahead. Meeting up with Robbie and his girlfriend and hearing about his entrepreneurial ventures with cli.org was a cool aspect to the trip, and visiting Yangshuo was incredible. I had an incredible time biking through the Karst peaks on the tandem bike with David. The scenery was so incredible with tall and slim mountains on both sides of the road, and many rice patties strewn all about. The photo of the Li River with the bamboo boats and the peaks is one of my favorite from our time in China. I would be happy to go back to Yangshuo for more biking, boating, good western food and hospitality from the locals.
One reoccurring theme that I am beginning to recognize through our travels is how people not only reasonably adapt to their circumstances, but thrive in a variety of conditions. When I see a migrant worker taking his or her long commute home on the train or watch a trash collector ride around on their bike all day in the hot sun, I often think that I could never endure a life like that, and I truly appreciate the options I have in my life. However, the more I see here, the more I believe that I have come to value my lifestyle because it's free, but also because it's comfortable and normal for me. Maybe I am naive, but if I had grown up as a migrant worker, I think I would find a lot to like about this way of life. This is not to say that I haven't experienced whining in the school regarding wanting a new job, but when it really comes down to it, when I discuss alternatives with my friends here, most of them seem to value living in China and being connected to all things Chinese. Opportunities are certainly more limited in this country than ours, but not so much so that a person can't change their life if they really desire a new one. Maybe this is just overall ignorance of condition or opportunity, but I prefer to see this mindset as a positive ability for human's to thrive emotionally in their surroundings, no matter what those may be. In response to these thoughts David says I'm a true anthropologist at heart, and I take that as a huge compliment. I like knowing that the human condition is different for many, yet we are all linked in our ability to develop a fondness for "home."
We had a really good time today. We slept in for the first time so far and despite another episode with the shower of horror (not just freezing water, but alternated to skin-scaldingly hot, too. Neither a usable temperature, woo!) had a relaxing morning. We met our managers (Eddie and Sally) and the other teacher (David A) at school and headed off to lunch with Eddie's business partners. We went to a traditional "hot pot" restaurant, which is a tradition started in Mongolian and is now popular in many parts of China. The style is similar to American Fondue in that there are tons of small dishes that are cooked in a pot of boiling water and spices. This hot pot restaurant was pretty fancy, as we got our own private room and personal hot pots. The food was awesome; a variety of tofu, thin slices of meat, vegetables and other interesting items. The most unique dish was probably thin slices of cow stomach. We also tried bamboo meats and I tried the raw beef, and really liked both. We also had sugar-glazed sweet potato for dessert (although it's just a main dish in China) which had the texture of candied apples and was also delectable! Eddie's associates were so generous and half of the table was drunk off of bijou (traditional rice wine) by the end of lunch.
After lunch we headed to the Giant (same bike brand as in American) bike store to buy bikes! Eddie offers his new teachers the opportunity to buy bikes, and we gladly accepted. David and I now both have brand-new Giant bikes, which we rode right out of the store. It was an exhilirating and exciting experience to ride our bikes on the streets of China for the first time, especially when Eddie yelled out from his motorbike, "WE ARE THE ASTON GANG!!!" Oh yes, and it was also snowing, but you probably figured that, since it apparently snows wherever we go! As Little Miss Warmy McWarmerson, I never thought I would be riding a bike in the snow.
I also would like to share a few updates:
1. We both have Skype and would love to chat, so look us up! *David: davidjacobs85 *Erin: erin.henshaw
We are usually on Skype/gchat between 8-10am (US) every day and can be available during the evenings most Mon-Wed.
2. Our blog has had over 1,000 views as of yesterday, cool! Just FYI, you can subscribe to the blog through WordPress and then you will be updated each time we make a new post. Also, it seems that we are starting to be come a little bit of a resource on world travel, so if you have friends with questions/concerns about visiting China or anywhere else we have visited, please send them along! Between David and I we have visited: Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Alaska, England, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Germany and have particularly good/recent knowledge of Spain, China and South Africa.
3. I'm thinking about trying to create a China/US book club that would meet on Skype/post to the blog. It would happen at a relatively slow pace (one book every month or two) and would be focused on both Chinese cultural books/novels and current fiction. If you would be interested, please post a comment or email me…anyone is welcome!
4. All is well; we are healthy and happy and our apartment is warmer than the Jacobs' house!

The differences of hot yoga vs. non- heated yoga
Close your eyes and picture yourself on a white sand beach, the warm air on your skin, the sun's glowing rays, and the soothing sounds of the ocean. Keep them closed, then walk into our heated studio and roll out your mat. I bet you can barely tell the difference.
A traditional non-heated yoga class has numerous benefits- increased flexibility (where do you think we all started?), massaging our internal organs through various poses and twists (like wringing out a wet sponge), and creating a quiet space for your mind in a world full of unrelenting noise, to name just a few. Turn up the heat to 90 degrees and 40% humidity, and those benefits skyrocket.
The Top 5 Benefits of Hot Yoga
- The heat softens your muscles, making them agile and flexible, so that you can reshape them into anything you want. (hello curves!)
- Heating your body before and during a workout decreases your chance of injury. The heat loosens your muscles and the looser your muscles are, the less chance they have of tightening up and straining during practice.
- Hot yoga is complimentary to other sports- it undoes all the damage we do by contact sports, weight lifting, running, or biking, by opening up the muscle tightness making you more agile for your exercise of choice.
- When you sweat during the yoga poses, the impurities are flushed out of the body through your pores in the skin, the largest organ of the body. (I like to think of it as wringing out a sponge, when you squeeze it tight all the toxins get flushed out and drained by the lymphatic system).
- Adding heat to Vinyasa (a type of yoga meaning "flow") builds up strength in the body, increases heart rate, and leaves you feeling like you just finished a cardio workout (depending on the teacher of course).
Drink some water, eat a protein filled snack about 30 minutes before, and you'll be ready to practice! No sweat 😉
Catch our Hot Yoga classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday mornings. Check the schedule tab for more details.

It's hard to remember all the forms of invalid logical argument. Recently, I've seen several great guides on this subject. These are both amusing and highly instructive.
Thou Shalt Not Commit Logical Fallacies <- great quick reference. Also, you can order the wall poster if you want to establish some basic ground rules for your office 🙂
An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments <- a more in-depth reference with amusing illustrations. I really like this one. (Thanks for pointing this out Jack!)
P.S. It may just be coincidence but I haven't heard "beg the question" used incorrectly on NPR's All Things Considered since I wrote them an e-mail to complain 🙂

Last night was the all-school science fair at my elementary school. The student participation was fantastic, and parent/teacher/student turn out to view the experiments was superb. I was incredibly proud of my class which had almost 100% participation! One of the experiments I thought could transfer to a home decor project was dying carnations with food coloring. Not only is it an effective experiment using dependent and independent variables, but the results were aesthetically pleasing as well!
