These days, it has become increasingly difficult to get a good night's rest. It is agonizing having to toss and turn in bed all night, or wake up so often you get mad only to get madder when your alarm goes off in the morning. A lot of people suffer from asthma, some insomnia, some anxiety and others different allergies. These and many more conditions contribute to the difficulty faced when it's time to go to bed. Over 70 different sleep disorders exist and millions of people suffer from these disorders, some more chronic than usual. Most people wake up feeling exhausted, not one good sleep. This could have a negative effect on their moods, productivity, health, energy and basically everything they do. Usually, because they are desperate, many will turn to sleeping pills which unfortunately could have side effects when used repeatedly, not to mention, they could be addicting.
What a lot of people do not know however is that there's more than one way to get better sleep. There are better, safer ways to get to snooze land and we'll be talking about one of those ways – the use of beautiful flowers and plants. Decorating the home with flowers has been an age long practice. It is used to add aesthetic value to the home. There are other benefits however, some of which include providing vitality, relaxation and purification. These other benefits are the reason these plants are useful in boosting the quality of your sleep. It is therefore advised that you opt for having a plant in your room instead of purchasing sleeping pills all the time. It's already an established fact that a time out with nature will reduce your stress and anxiety levels, so give it a shot, won't you? Plus, it could also be that the poor quality of air in your room does little to help you sleep, the plants could go to work on that and have your room dripping with freshness in no time.
Plants that will cure your insomnia
Oh the scent of lavender would get anyone, and why not? It is also popularly used to reduce stress levels and induce sleep. Studies carried out on its effects on sleep confirm that it does this by slowing down heart rate, lowering stress levels and reducing blood pressure. Did you know a study found that lavender reduced the crying in babies and caused them to sleep better and deeper? It was also found to reduce stress in mother and child, so this should be well received if you're a new mother! In women, it is found that lavender reduces REM (Rapid eye movement) and improves light sleep. It is true that there are a lot of products that are lavender scented which could help your sleeping, the idea here however, is to go with plants. So, find a lavender plant and have them placed on your nightstand instead. Sweetdreams!
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is known to generate oxygen heavily especially at night . This means that it can improve your room's air quality and thus have you sleeping great in no time. Infact, NASA lists the aloe vera as one of the top air-improving plants. It is easy to grow and maintain as it does not need so much watering, it belongs to the cactus family afterall (yes, those ones that grow in deserts). It needs a lot of sunlight(directly) though and so should be kept by your window. The Egyptians used to refer to it as "the plant of immortality " because of its multiplication characteristic. It reproduces so easily you would end up with more than one plant after buying one, then you could gift some of them to friends and family for good sleep or whatever else they decide. Apart from just being static in your house, you could use its gel for dry skin, burns, cuts insect bites and others.
Snake Plant
The snake plant is another plant ideal for sleep deprived folks. Like the aloe vera, it improves the quality of air in your room and is extremely easy to maintain. At night, it lets out oxygen and at the same time takes in carbon dioxide. This is what makes it effective in the improvement of air quality and as a consequence, a good night's sleep. The plant also filters household toxins like benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene, with these attributes, you're bound to sleep better.
English Ivy
English Ivy works like a magic wand. When there are toxins in the air, it can absorb the toxins and convert them into oxygen, magic! It also is very easy to maintain and grows really fast in a short time, all it needs is a little sunlight . It has been confirmed that it can diminish airborne mold and faeces by ninety four percent in a short time. These molds affect the breathing and so having an english ivy plant around saves the day. NASA also has it as a top plant for air purification. Researches carried out confirm that the english ivy has the ability to improve asthma and allergy symptoms and thus improve the sleep quality of victims of such. People who suffer from asthma and allergies hardly get a good night's sleep so having their condition somewhat remedied automatically improves their quality of sleep. You could simply get one of these plants and have them in a hanging basket in your room or in a ledge where its leaves could trail. Keep them away from pets and kids though, it's not safe for them. You might want to think twice about getting it if you have a dog or a kid, but if you must, then keep it out of reach.
Bamboo Palm
The bamboo palm is not a big plant but it has the ability to purify air. The bamboo palm is also known as reed palm. You could get this instead of going for those expensive air fresheners that are made with so much chemical. With it, your home will have pure, fresh air rid of all toxins and bad smells. You also will get to sleep better, plus your room will feel warmer. The plant does not need a lot of sunlight and water, just a little in direct sunlight and a little water in its soil to get it moist not flat out wet.
Spider Plant
The Spider Plant is another plant recommended for cleansing the air and improving your sleep. A NASA test showed that it was capable of getting rid of ninety percent of formaldehyde, a potential cancer agent. It is easy to have formaldehyde in your home from fillers, grout and especially adhesives, it is a good choice to have a spider plant around. It will also get rid of nasty odours and keep the oxygen levels in the room balanced, making your sleep better as a consequence.

It had been hard to think I actually had to download best osrs gold buying site a client to play Runescape. This was unheard of, especially thinking about the fact that we just had Internet Explorer and Firefox in our disposals back in the day to access the game. But boy has this game evolved. It is no longer the cute Java game using a poor resolution and clunky UI. There's full-screen mode with a few excellent visuals for what is basically a browser game.
It was actually incredibly confusing in the beginning. What did I survive do all those years back? How can I do today?
Everything is really different. There are currently costumes, which are essentially cosmetic items that may change the look of your character without swapping out armor. This pulled me off guard, as no more was able to quickly glance at a player and decide what he was sporting.
There is also the inclusion of this Solomon Store, that's the home of micro-transactions from the game. You can spend in-game bonds that are got by playing with the game or use real money to purchase items. (It is free-to-play, but you'll want to fork out to get a subscription to get premium regions of the sport and is completely worth it.)
Considering what Runescape how to buy osrs gold with money had been, this really is incredible development.If that was not sufficient, Jagex also implemented a completely different combat system, eliminated the wilderness (WHYYYY!?) , and deployed more quests for players to operate through. I loved how you might actually utilize non-combat abilities more often in the world to make a number of them marginally more useful. Oddly enough, it feels more like a MMORPG now than previously, despite the fact that there are a number of things I do not enjoy about the changes. Everything sort of felt exactly the same, but it had been such a departure from the match which I ceased playing in 2006.

The leaves outside were barely moving. Perhaps a day to try the latest 1 Skewer Delta kite again. The low end of the wind range for this particular kite hadn't been tested yet!
Despite the forecast for a hot maximum temperature, my son Aren and I got in the car and headed out for a nearby reserve. It was a day for full-on UV protection, with wide-brimmed hats and sunscreen.
There was a fair amount of smooth high-level cloud, plus a slight dust haze. Being just before mid-day, the temperature didn't seem too bad. Even the breeze wasn't warm, perhaps because it had crossed the Gulf from the West.
A very light breeze was gusting to 'light' as weak thermals came through. The kite's fresh-wind stability, or rather, lack of it, was not going to be a problem today! Hence it was decided to remove part of the tail, leaving just 2/3 of its original length in place.
As we often do, some low flying was done first, to get a few still photos. The kite ended up on the ground several times due to lack of wind. Because of this, it was necessary to let out about 20 meters of line to get video, using 4x zoom. For a few minutes when the wind strength just happened to be ideal, the tiny tailed Delta flew like a much larger version. Stable and very smooth. Even the tail hardly shifted.
When necessary, my 4 year old kiting assistant, Aren, did a good job of running out and flipping the kite over so I could re-launch it from the grass!
Recently I came across a rather descriptive kiting term for something I like to do from time to time - the float launch. I did one of these, using several gusts to float the Delta out to about 60 meters or so, just 2 or 4 meters off the ground. Then, there was enough breeze to maintain a 40 degree angle, letting line slip slowly through my fingers.
With about 90 meters out, the 1 Skewer Delta kite went up nice and high for a while. Then, it encountered sinking air, and a rapid keel-first descent followed!
Like other Deltas, this one gets up a wing-waggle when trying to fly in insufficient wind.
The outing turned into one of those marginal days when constant work was necessary to keep the kite in the air.
Most of the time, the Delta was flying at low line angles purely due to the low wind speed. A lot of pulling-in during lulls and letting out during gentle gusts made the most of the available wind.
The Line draped across the grass at one point, with the little 1 Skewer Delta kite in a wing waggling slow free-fall towards the grass.
At its highest points, the kite often got quite close to the position of the sun. In fact, an interesting thing happened when the kite got between the sun and a small flock of galahs sitting in a tree... They took off suddenly, perhaps believing they were being eyed off by a hawk!
Might as well mention now a coincidence that happens very occasionally. The shadow of the kite moved around just meters from Aren and I for a few moments, despite the long distance between the kite and us. Couldn't help calling the attention of my 4 year old to this of course. He seemed surprised. Never-the-less, he was now bugging me to take him across to the nearby play equipment...
Summing up. There was a lot of climbing and descending, with the
size of the 1 Skewer Delta kite limiting how high it could go on its 20
pound line in such a light breeze. Still, it was a lot better experience
than yesterday, when we went out in extremely gusty fresh wind
conditions! Although the flying wasn't pretty, at least I managed to
fine-tune the length of that little tail-let on one tip, to correct a
turning tendency. You can see it in the photo up there. My favorite
trimming trick for little kites on simple bridles!
Making Skewer Kites is one of my downloadable, printable e-books which has instructions for all my well-tested Skewer kite designs. There's nothing like flying something you made yourself!
The story above was an actual flying experience with the described kite. My write-ups are definitely warts-and-all since things don't always go totally as planned. However, half the fun of kiting is anticipating the perfect flight. When it happens, it's magic!
I'm referring to Simplest Dowel Kites, my popular kite-making download. It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled. Each kite is capable of flying hundreds of feet up for hours on end.

1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
As I read this verse I began to think, what a great verse to put up on my fridge (which as you see I ended up doing). Maybe I can also tape it on the inside of my wallet. Or how about on the pantry door? (did that too) That's where all the goodies are ha!
But then there's that part in the verse that says, "or whatever you do". Now there are so many more places I can put this verse. I need to post it to fatherhood, marriage, work and relationships – there's just an endless supply of areas where this verse can be posted.
I know the best way to post this verse is to post it on the forefront of our minds, as we are doing things always. So this morning I ended up printing a list so i can literrally post it a couple places and give one to my kids to post somewhere in their room. I'm looking forward to doing this when with them when I get home from work today.

What would your suggestions be as to the choice between thematic or the power blog. If i go with the more basic is it easy to upgrade? Or am i best going to the power blog to start with as upgrading could mess things up?
Is thematic easier to edit in anyway?
Is the Power Blog simply something with more options?

Chiang Mai's Smiles, Laughs, and Oh Mys…
Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday, our 160th episode. I'm still relaxing here in Chiang Mai, and loving every moment. This week I'm straying away from the food. However, if you have missed any of my recent Chiang Mai foodie posts…Brown Rice Organic Bistro, Chiang Mai Street Food Episode 1, Chiang Mai Street Food Episode 2. Just to show you all that I do something besides eat (not much mind you!) I give you a few recent shots that made me smile, laugh, or think OH MY (while I was laughing and smiling!)
You know the drill…:)
To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog.
Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.
Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.
The Twitter hash tag for Travel Photo Thursday is #TPThursday.
As a courtesy please post a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox.
Of course, the first laugh has to be food related. With all the English speaking Expats in Chiang Mai you'd think that all of the English signage would be perfect. Signs like these really are part of the city's charm, and always make for a smile and a chuckle.
Next we have the latest winter fashion trends from our furry friends. Yes, they really do get cold here in Chiang Mai!
A public service announcement for all us walkers! Seriously, I wanted to thank whoever added this chair to the crater; one less hole to fall into!
Marilyn has taken up residence at one of Chiang Mai's newest malls…OH MY!
Finally, an unexpected encounter (who would have thought?)
What makes you laugh when you travel?

MRSA: Unstoppable?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a type of bacteria responsible for many difficult-to-treat infections. In fact, MRSA is a type of Staphylococcus aureas bacteria that has developed a resistance to many types of antibiotics, namely penicillin. MRSA infections are a major problem in hospital settings, as patients suffering from open wounds and weakened immune systems are more likely to get infected. These infections cost the U.S healthcare system 3.2 to 4.2 billion dollars every year[i] and kill more than 18 000 people.Consequently, MRSA is a rising public health concern.[ii] Infection rates in Canada have spiked since 1995. According to researchers studying the development of these bacteria in hospitals, the rates of infection have soared 17 fold since that time. [iii] This study was also amongst the first to link clinical and epidemiological data to prove the categories of persons most at risk, namely hospital patients. [iv]Amongst those hospital patients, those at the greatest risk are seniors with underlying medical conditions, surgical patients, and diabetics requiring dialysis. However, MRSA is more than just a bacteria found in hospitals, as it is becoming increasingly common in communities. According to a CDC report published in 2007, MRSA kills more people every year in the US than AIDS. The rate is only increasing, and there are very few effective antibiotics left to treat it.
It's easy to disregard MRSA as it seems so abstract. You hear "non treatable" and think of a far away exotic disease like Ebola. How wrong you would be. MRSA is a very real and present danger. Take the case of Andrea, a 23 year old who was put in isolation for seven days and six nights because she was diagnosed with MRSA. Her first symptoms were abscesses around her belly button and groin area, and she went to the hospital twice before they were able to figure out what she had. She spent useless money on antibiotics that she could not afford, and lost several paychecks worth of time.[v] If that doesn't make the risks clear enough, take the case of Caleb, a seven year old from Texas. Caleb contracted MRSA through his eczema while he was being treated in the hospital. He has had several outbreaks of MRSA, leaving his parents without money, or options. Furthermore, he has a number of medical conditions that weaken his immune system, making him all the more vulnerable to virulent attacks. In order to avoid infection, he has to stay at home, in isolation, with no friends and no opportunity for school. It is likely he will die if these infections keep recurring.[vi]
It is clear that something needs to be done. MRSA's biggest strength is the lack of awareness surrounding the disease. Infection prevention techniques and implementation of hospital protocols need to be promoted so as to inform the population of the risks. Don't wait for your turn, get informed now.

Leafroller Moths
Archips spp.; Choristoneura spp.; Argyrotaenia spp.
Pest Description
- adults: wingspan ~ 3/4 inch; wings held tent-like over back; color variable
- larvae: up to 1 inch and found within rolled leaves; typically green with a brown to black head capsule
- eggs: gray brown and often laid in overlapping clusters on or around the plant
Host Plants, Diet & Damage
- deciduous trees and shrubs; fruit trees
- larvae feed on leaves and roll leaves using silk
- leaf skeletonizing and leaf damage; fruit cat-facing or loss
- defoliation in severe cases
Biology, Life Cycle & Damaging Life Stage
- overwinter as eggs or larvae on or around host plants
- overwintering eggs hatch after budbreak
- species overwintering as larvae emerge around budbreak
- larvae spend most of their developmental period inside of the rolled leaf
- species with one generation per year will lay overwintering eggs in mid-summer
- species with two generations per year will lay eggs in spring and summer
- pupate within the rolled leaf, or on or around the host
- one to two generations per year depending on species
- larvae are the damaging stage
IPM Recommendations
- Keep trees healthy with proper cultural practices.
- Monitor trees for egg masses, larvae and rolled leaves.
- Management is seldom warranted; tolerate pest.
- If needed, apply an insecticide (azadirachtin; Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki; carbamate; pyrethroid; spinosyn) to foliage targeting newly hatched larvae in spring.

I'm reading a book that Rev. Bill Moorer suggested to me to prepare for our stewardship season this fall. We'll fill you in on more details about that campaign next month, but first I offer this review of the book written by a pastor whose church I attended in seminary, Rev. Patricia Farris. That church, First UMC of Santa Monica, was situated in the midst of a very wealthy community. Would Rev. Farris describe her church as a "rich church"? That answer has nothing to do with the economic condition of the church's members. Read on, and then I have a few comments after her review:
"In Rich Church Poor Church: Keys to Effective Financial Ministry, J. Clif Christopher affirms: "Jesus has died and been resurrected. The Holy Spirit has been sent to be among us. Martyrs by the thousands have died to bring us to where we are today. The church is the living body of Christ in the world and we are part of it. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. There is no excuse to be poor anymore." (p. 8)
And yet, he goes on to paint a sobering picture of where we are: giving to religion in America has dropped from 60% of charitable gifts to 35%. United Methodists give an average of 1% of their income to the church. Baby boomers are giving about 15% less than their parents at the same age. Financially healthy churches totaled 31% of all churches in 2000 but only 14% by 2010.
Where is your congregation in this portrait? How do we live faithfully and creatively in this Rich Church Poor Church tension? Mostly likely you have some learning and growing to do. In fact, perhaps nothing strikes greater dread in a pastor's heart than budget calculations and the annual giving campaign. Clif Christopher understands and offers a framework and tools for growing into a healthier place. His premise is that what we are called to do and to be as the church is far too important not to do it well.
Are you in a rich church or a poor church? Don't answer too quickly. A rich church, Christopher contends, focuses on mission rather than survival, compelling communication rather than fact communication, debt principal rather than debt payments, asking versus not asking, humility rather than arrogance, high expectations rather than low expectations, knowing the facts on your donors rather than guessing, being transformational in talk rather than obligatory, and pastors taking the lead. Each chapter concludes with a set a questions useful to the pastor as well as to Finance Committees and other church leaders.
Christopher's main point is that people give to the mission of the institution. Note—the mission of the institution, not to the institution per se. This is perhaps the most impactful generational shift. People want to hear a compelling story of what the church is doing in people's lives and in the world. They want to hear what difference their giving makes. They relate to changed lives.
It follows, then, that communication must be compelling and inspiring, rather than fact-based. It must be story based, rather than a list of statistics and numbers.
Secondly, Christopher asserts that people give out of regard for staff leadership. People give to people. They seek a sense of confidence in their leaders. This is why, Christopher maintains, pastors should invest time in their donors, those who are blessed financially to share those blessings with the church.
And thirdly, people need a sense of confidence in the institution. People want to see a church that is a good steward of the resources entrusted to it. People do not want to see waste nor an organization that constantly seems to be short of funds. Rather than hiding a surplus, church leaders should be inspired to share good news and how the resources of the church are being used to change lives. This inspires generous giving.
The Rich Church, Christopher says, constantly holds out a vision that is grand and bold about what God is doing and going to do. So the first bit of homework for every pastor and church leader is to reflect on how they would answer someone who asks "why should I give to this church." Take that to heart. Ponder it. Find tools and directions in Rich Church Poor Church. Then tell. Ask. Teach. Dream. Be thankful. Say thank you. Be transformed. And expect the Holy Spirit to do great things."
Clif Cristopher was the workshop leader at a financial stewardship seminar I attended in my first year of ministry in Waldron, AR. That workshop, called "Not Your Grandparents' Offering Plate" dispelled much of the conventional wisdom we probably have about giving and inspiring giving to a church. At our recent Finance Committee, our Treasurer, Karen Manera, wanted to share with the committee some news about the church's financial status. As we had projected, we are running a deficit this year. Our pledging givers have given $3000 more than we had budgeted them to give at this point. That's good news. Our unpledged income is around $10,500 short of what we anticipated it would be at this point in the year. As I mentioned, these figures are already projecting a deficit to expenses. We have been finding creative ways to offset utility and maintenance costs, including turning the air conditioning off on 3rd floor throughout the week and even Sundays. Thanks to the kids classes and the Logos class for relocating during the summer months when cooling that floor requires the most energy–that and other thriftiness (including our staff making do with less energy) has meant we're under budget $6000 in maintenance expenses, and $3000 in utilities. Keep in mind that these expenses for the building provide for ministry and hospitality throughout the week as well. We host Adult Children of Alcoholics twice a week, Boy Scouts once a week, Narcotics Anonymous twice a week, and the Kendall Whittier Food pantry 5-7 days a week. Our building is truly a place of healing and wholeness every day of the week. We have given around $4000 to conference and district missions and apportionments so far this year, but we hope to pay more like $40,000.
We have the opportunity to erase our deficit thanks to the generous stewardship of a family who has made a matching grant to the church to match all gifts above and beyond what has been pledged to the church or what was given to the church last year by families not making a pledge but what was on giving statements at the end of 2016. I believe we must tell our story more compellingly in order to harvest the riches of time, talent, and gifts that are already within our church. I dedicate our gifts to the unique way that we help build the Kingdom of God each Sunday in worship—but if you're not there to hear it, or if you're there but not listening, you might not catch on to that inspiring invitation. We're making a difference and living into our mission at UUMC—and you can be a part of that, instead of apart from that. Let's keep improving, church!

I cannot believe it's been more than a month since my last post, but August and September have been two very busy months, so I hope I can be forgiven. However, I could not have let this day pass without a special post dedicated to the International Translation Day. There are so many things that are worth exploring and talking about when it comes to our beloved profession, but I've chosen a few and I hope you'll enjoy this post.
5 misconceptions about professional translation
Misconception #1: I'm bilingual, so I am as good as any translator
BIG mistake! Bilingualism is merely about a varying level of comfort with two different languages; it is not a substitute for learning to be a professional translator. True, it is the starting point for any translator, but it is not sufficient in itself. There are several examples to prove the inadequacy of bilingualism in dealing with the many ambiguities that professional translation aims to eliminate.
Misconception #2: Translators and interpreters can translate anything and everything
It is a mistake to assume that just because a translator is proficient in two languages, he or she can immediately and effortlessly translate anything between those two languages. Technical and domain-specific text is extremely difficult if the incumbent has no prior experience in those domains. The process will be slow and prone to errors.
Misconception #3: A professional translator is an unnecessary expense
Another big mistake – sadly, one that only sufferers at the hands of poor translation are privy to. In many cases, a hobby translator can do the job just as well as a seasoned one, but for the most part, a non-professional translation is guesswork at its worst. Your budget will be the least of your problems if you unleash an untrained translator on your most valuable asset – your content.
Misconception #4: Translation is simple
In three words: it is not! A professional translator should have a nimble mind capable of choosing the exact words and phrases that fit into a sentence without changing its meaning, intent or tone. This is where human intervention is most needed, because no machine can accurately (or more accurately than a human expert) translate a piece and have everything in order.
Misconception #5: Any input can give high-quality output
Absolutely not! There is no way that a translator can give you high-quality output if the input isn't superb to begin with. The only option is to first get the source material up to scratch, and provide the translator with every bit of contextual information possible. Anything less will show up in the results.
4 interesting facts about translation
Fact #1: The average translator's output is between 300,000 and 1,000,000 words per year!
Fact #2: Translation actually has a patron saint – St. Jerome. His translation of the bible, called The Vulgate, was written for the benefit of Latin-speakers in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D.
Fact #3: The word "translation" is derived from Latin, and means "the carrying from one place to another."
Fact #4: Septuagint – a translation of the Hebrew Bible and other scriptures into a form of Greek (Koine) – is the name of the first translation in the classical world, because it was believed to be the work of 70 translators!
3 books in translation
The Bible is not the most-translated book – at least not in full. The most number of languages that a whole book has been translated into is "Listen to God and Live Forever", a 2011 publication by the Jehovah's Witnesses. Here are some books from diverse categories that were so popular that translations number in tens and hundreds:
- Pinocchio – 240+ languages from the original Italian
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights – 438 languages from the original English, French and Spanish
- The Adventures of Asterix – 112 languages from the original French
2 essential differences between translating and interpreting
There are far more differences between the skill requirements of translators and interpreters than there are similarities. There are domain-specific skills, culture-specific skills and several other skills that defy comparison.
Difference #1: The Time Element
Simultaneous interpreting (the most well-known type at least among people outside the industry) is an 'in the moment' act. Often, an interpreter cannot even begin translating a sentence until it has been spoken completely. That leaves them only a fraction of a second to begin the translation, prepare to listen and interpret the next sentence, and effectively tie everything in to the theme of the discussion. Though translators face no less of a challenge in terms of complexity, the time-frame is vastly different.
Difference #2: Awareness and Attention
A professional interpreter is often not in a position to ask the speaker to repeat themselves. That means every sentence has to be listened to carefully and only once before the output is expected in the target language. Translators, however, can read and re-read a piece of text or audio as many times as they like in order to get it 'just right.'
1 Cliché about translation
Lost in Translation
Professional translators know exactly what this cliché means, but to the lay person, it is defined as 'losing integrity while converting text from one language to another.' In fact, clichés themselves are often 'lost in translation.'
Happy International Translation Day!
1st October 2014
Thanks a lot. Good enough resume. But don't forget about the translators from such non-ethinic language as Esperanto. Kind regards, V. Payuk, ATA-certified English-Ukrainian translator #1
1st October 2014
Time isn't always on our side… so here's a belated thanks and best wishes for international translation day and happy translating, Alina. I also want to thank you for sharing the "anacardi" post. Etymology is a bit of a passion, not easy to share with everyone. 🙂

In the wake of a New York Inspector General's report alleging that Antoine Thompson (SD-60) received a contribution of $8,600 from Aqueduct Entertainment Group (AEG), an entity that was heavily lobbying Senate leadership to obtain a racino operation contract at Aqueduct Racetrack, it's being alleged that a local Assemblyman took over $50,000 in politically motivated, Aqueduct-related contributions and voted to set aside the regular procurement process to enable the Aqueduct contract to be awarded on political considerations.
Tim Kennedy, the Democrat running for State Senate in SD-58 hit his Republican opponent, Jack Quinn III in a press release yesterday:
Kennedy campaign notes Albany incumbent Jack Quinn III is embroiled in Aqueduct scandal.
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Albany incumbent Jack Quinn III is embroiled in the Aqueduct scandal that has grabbed the state's attention, voting to side-step standard procurement procedures and avoid transparency measures while taking money from parties involved in the bidding process.
In 2008, Quinn III voted "yes" on Assembly Bill No. 9998 that removed the standard procurement process for the Aqueduct VLT. His vote facilitated the entire scandal. Quinn cast his vote to keep politics involved in the bidding process and to keep the process out of the light of transparency.
An initial review of the inspector general's report shows that Quinn III has taken approximately $50,000 from companies vying for the state business and firms associated with individuals named in the report.
Quinn III took a $9500 maximum contribution from Douglaston Development LLC, which was founded by Jeffrey Levine. Levine was named in the inspector general's report as an "AEG representative." Levine currently serves as the chairman of Douglaston Development. Levine also owns Levine Builders, a company named in the report.
Quinn III took a maximum contribution of $9500 from SL Green, one firm that was competing in the bidding process. He also took $4000 from a subsidiary of another company competing for the contract.
Quinn III also took two $9500 contributions from Tishman Speyer Australia Asset Management, a firm lobbying for SL Green. Quinn also accepted $5,500 from eEmerge, which is a subsidiary of SL Green.
"For years, Albany incumbent Jack Quinn III has lived and participated in Albany's pay-to-play culture," said Tim Kennedy, a candidate for New York State Senate. "Quinn III's vote to keep politics in the bidding process involving AEG and then financially benefiting to the tune of approximately $50,000 from those involved is a perfect example of why Western New Yorkers are hungry for change in Albany, and it's why I'm fighting to bring change to Albany. It's time we put politics aside to fight for progress in Western New York. Albany incumbent Jack Quinn III has voted to maintain the failed Albany status quo. I'm standing up for Western New York to make sure we build a government that we can trust."
According to Kennedy, the root of the problem is Albany.
"After decades in control, Republican leadership corroded the State Senate into a rotten mess of corruption and dysfunction. The leader of the Republican Senate, Joe Bruno, was indicted by the FBI, and now, we see an Albany mentality persisting among certain members of the Senate Democrats," Kennedy said. "This isn't a party problem. It's an Albany problem."

I love Halloween. Well, I love most of Halloween. I love the sunny, crisp fall afternoons, and I love the creativity of the costumes. The excitement of children is palpable, and the giggling is infectious. I love the feeling of comaraderie amongst the neighbors as we troop from house to house. But I don't love the candy.
I hate all the candy, to be honest. We come home with tons of candy, the majority of which we can't or don't eat. Little Miss has a diary allergy which cuts out a huge portion of the candy we collect. We all avoid HFCS and food dyes wherever we can, which cuts out the majority of the rest. Mister Man get to keep his Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. A few neighbors hand out fruit strips or peanut packs, and one neighbor cooks hot dogs for everyone. That and bags of pretzels are usually what we have at the end of the night.
Even the fruit strips and peanut butter cups aren't unlimited. I don't want the wee ones eating that much sugar. It isn't good for their overall health, and it really isn't good for their teeth. Knock on wood, neither of them has a cavity yet, and I'd like to keep it that way.
This year, American Dental Association (ADA) and PopCap Games are partnering to help people provide an alternative to candy for trick or treating. Anyone who wants to give out copies of PopCap Games' Plant vs. Zombies can download free game coupons that can be redeemed for the full game for either Macs or PCs. Now that's sweet, right?
The codes can be redeemed at Stop Zombie Mouth starting October 30 and until November 10. The hit game normally retails for $19.95, and I can't wait to see the faces of the kids - especially the middle school trick or treaters - when they see what we're giving out this year!
In the interest of full disclosure, I received #StopZombieMouth cards to give out at Halloween next week. I was not provided with any additional compensation. As always, all opinions expressed remain my own.

Dietary laws
Like Muslims, observant Jews do not eat pork, but they also have a longer list of creatures considered unclean and not fit for consumption. Jews are only to eat Kosher food. The laws surrounding the preparation of Kosher food are quite complex but include rules about dairy products, ritual slaughter and eggs. Forbidden food is called Trefah.
The Tallit is a special shawl worn by Jews when they pray and sometimes at ceremonial occasions such as weddings and funerals.
Tefillin, or Phylacteries are small square leather boxes on straps. They have pieces of parchment with verses from the Torah inside them and some Orthodox Jews wear them during prayers. Tefillin can be worn on the arm and the head.
All Orthodox Jewish men wear a small skull cap called a kippah or yarmulke, as do some, but not all, Reformist Jews. Orthodox women cover their heads with a scarf or hat.
Mezuzah are small wooden containers with certain verses from the Torah inside. They are attached to the doorposts in Orthodox Jewish homes.
The Synagogue and Worship
Jews call their place of worship a synagogue and sometimes a temple. Synagogues are often places of education and community centres as well as places of worship.
A Rabbi or a Chazzan (also called a Cantor) leads the Jewish religious service. In Orthodox synagogues, worship is in Hebrew. In Progressive synagogues other languages including English may be used.
Men and women are separated in Orthodox synagogues but not in Progressive ones.
The interior of a synagogue has various important features connected with worship:
The Bimah is a kind of pulpit.
The Aron Hakodesh is the Holy Ark, a wooden cabinet containing the scrolls of the Torah, which are produced during services and paraded around the synagogue.
The Ner Tamid is an ever-burning light hung above the Aron Hakodesh and representing ever present God.
The Menorah is a seven-branched lamp representing enlightenment. It has strong associations with Hanukkah.

This Monday for our guest speaker series GUESS WHAT?!:
Amelia Ernhardt: Dance 101
"I feel like once a week I have a conversation with a pal that results in 'I didn't know you were a dancer'/'You're the only dancer I know'/'I have never seen dance', and I'm starting to wonder/worry that there's such a big divide between contemporary dancers and every other contemporary artmaker in the city. there are exceptions to the rule but by and large dancers tend to hole themselves out and not engage with the rest of the… community, and it winds up being to our detriment – non-art people think "modern dance" is too weird and art people think it's not weird enough.
So I want to (graciously) (nicely) defend it for the length of a lecture, give some brief history about it's development, how it came to canada, post-modern dance in the 60s/70s, the cool cool shit that happened here in the 70s, people doing amazing tricks and cool shit with their bodies in the 80s and 90s, everything that has happened in europe, ever, the many current and historical collaborations/crossovers between film/projection//intermedial practices all other uses of video art/new media and dance.
and then talk about what's happening here now IRL."
Starts at 8pm sharp.

Comparing and Contrasting FDA Medical Device Regulations for Clinical Investigations with ISO 14155:2011
Today's clinical research landscape for the medical device industry is global in nature. Whether conducting a U.S. study with additional international sites, or conducting the entire study outside the U.S., sponsors must be well-informed about the multiple requirements in order to run a well-controlled trial that will withstand the scrutiny of worldwide regulatory agencies. Conducting a trial under the umbrella of both 21 CFR and ISO 14155:2011 (ISO 14155) will position the sponsor well globally at trial end, but implementing this can create confusion and chaos during study conduct.
With a focus specifically on clinical investigators, this whitepaper will examine common findings from FDA inspections done both in the U.S. and internationally, and highlight some differences between 21 CFR and ISO 14155 related to those findings that would be beneficial for study teams to know.

What if I told you thieves stole a man's tools he had used to make an honest living? How would you react? What if these thieves also stole the awards this man received as recognition for both his great individual achievements and for his role in making the business he worked for among the most successful in the world? How would you react? How would you react if I told you this man is a military veteran, who answered the call of duty when the country and the world need it the most? What emotions would you feel? Anger? Sadness? Shock?
Personally I feel both anger and sadness. I am angry at the thieves who stole things from this man after he worked so hard to achieve. I feel sadness because even if, and when, these items are recovered; some of the damage may never heal. I have plenty to say to the person or people who did this. They are not worth the space they occupy on this earth, nor the oxygen they breathe, and plenty more which is not suitable for printing. The best I can sum up how I feel is this way, HOW DARE YOU!!!
Now take all your emotions and wrap them around the idea that the man I have been talking about is Lawrence Peter Berra. Yogi, the man the myth, the legend. The man who could utter sentences which decades later still baffle people. Such as:
"I really didn't say everything I said."
I have plenty to say to these thieve. I am guessing there are some people in the Bronx and around the baseball world who would love to do more than just talk to them.
On October 8th, the Yogi Berra Museum was broken into by thieves. Among the items stolen were several of Yogi's 13 World Series Rings, his two Most Valuable Player Awards, and the mitt he used to catch Don Larsen's perfect game during Game 5 of the 1956 World Series. These items are priceless in baseball value, but also in the value they have for Yogi and his family.
The theft makes me wonder what some people are not willing to do, either for money or simply because they want to have something. The worth of a person's reputation and honor appears to have a dollar value for some people. This is disgusting. The opposite is true for the man who had his property taken from him. Yogi Berra is and never has been a victim. He has put every ounce of energy he has into what he believes. It does not matter if it is fighting for freedom, playing to the best of his abilities on the diamond, or helping kids learn. Yogi is a man's man. He is tough when need be, he exudes love and humility everywhere he goes. Everyone should aspire to be like Yogi.
The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center's mission is to "preserve and promote the values of respect, sportsmanship, social justice and excellence through inclusive, culturally diverse sports-based educational programs and exhibits." This mission reflects through the young people who have come to the museum for programing. Yogi through the museum and center continues to give back and help make the world a better place.
Yogi Berra Stadium, which is connected to the Museum, is home to both the Montclair State University baseball team and the New Jersey Jackals of the Can-Am League. Yogi's connection to Little Falls, New Jersey has given both the college players a place to play the game they love, while getting an education. The Jackals' players have the opportunity to continue chasing their baseball dreams.
When people talk about baseball legends they refer to players like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Koufax, and so many more. However, Yogi Berra is in a class of his own. He is referred to not by his surname, but rather by his first name/ nickname. He is the uncle everyone in and around baseball loves. He is family. While he is widely respected, there is an aura of familiarity about him which breaks down the need for formalities. Yogi Berra is a man we all know in some manner, and we all love him just the way he is. It is time for us as a baseball community to assist in returning to Yogi what is rightfully his and to see that those who have violated his generosity are held accountable for the crimes they have committed.

COLDENHAM — Artist Shawn Dell Joyce has been teaching the entire fifth grade at East Coldenham Elementary School about their namesake Jane Colden, America's first female botanist.
"Jane Colden is a local hero who wasn't included in the history books," said Shawn Dell Joyce, artist and executive director at Wallkill River School. "Our children wouldn't know about her contribution to history if it wasn't for programs like this."
All fifth graders received sketchbooks and instruction from Joyce in the Linnaeus System of plant identification, which Colden used herself to identify more than 256 indigenous plants in New York in 1755. Joyce took the children outdoors to identify plants, sketch them in their sketchbooks, and learn how colonial Americans used the plants for food, and medicine.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Joyce has taken the Jane Colden program into East Coldenham. Each year, Joyce writes a grant to defray the costs of the program, which is provided free to the school district and families.
This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.

Moving away from the media-tie ins for what may turn out to be a very short while, I turned to a book that I found at a very small bookshop at a bus station. Despite it being a novel for children or very young adults, The Web: GulliverZone's author, Stephen Baxter, is one well known for his adult science fiction novels and stories. Having read some of them, I was very curious to see how his foray into the much younger age groups progressed.
In 2027, the world is at peace. Conflict has stopped, and people live in a harmony we can only dream of. To celebrate this, every February 7 is World Peace Day, in which the entire globe rejoices their peace, and among other things, access to The Web, and all of the amusement parks contained within, is free. This isn't the Internet, but a virtual reality world in which people can immerse themselves in "real" situations, from the safety of their home.
Our main character, Metaphor, along with her brother, Byte, and school mate Wire (No, not real names, but aliases. In this world, they seem to hold almost as much importance, however) travel into The Web on World Peace Day, with the sole focus of getting to the newest theme park, GulliverZone. Once they arrive there, they enter the world of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, and meet the Lilliputians, tiny people who fit in the palm of your hand. Things seem to be going great, until Metaphor learns that these tiny people may be more than just data, and that far more may be going on behind the scenes. World Peace Day hasn't yet reached the digital world.
While obviously very light fare, this book still managed to be fun and entertaining. The content was obviously geared towards children, but there was a lot of extra stuff in there that only adults would pick up on, such as names (the President of the United States was named Samuel Jackson. Coincidence? I think not). The foreshadowing was also nicely done, as was the extensive use of Swift's famous novel. All around, Baxter did an impressive job. For the average adult, this won't be your favorite book, but it was entertaining enough while on the bus ride. While the first part of a series, this book has a full end, and can be read as a stand alone.

Transcript Elbow(Humeroulnar) Joint
Elbow(Humeroulnar) Joint Presentation by Lindsey Bidleman and Linda McConnell Components of the Elbow Joint Include… Linda Surface Anatomy Bones Articular Capsule Cartilage Bursae Ligaments Muscles Nerves Arteries Veins Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Linda Cubital Fossa Medial Bicipital Groove Biceps Tendon Triceps Tendon Olecranon Lateral Epicondyle Medial Epicondyle Radial Styloid Process Ulnar Styloid Process Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Joint Biceps Tendon Medial Bicipital Groove Cubital Fossa Olecranon Linda Medial Epicondyle Triceps Tendon Lateral Epicondyle Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Joint Radial Styloid Process Linda Ulnar Styloid Process Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Joint Linda Carrying angle When arms are at your sides, palms facing forward, you hands and forearms should be about 5-15 degrees away from your body. This angle allows your forearms to clear you hips when swinging your arms while walking. Also very important when carrying various objects. The angle is more pronounced in women than men. Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Joint Carrying Angle: Male vs Female Linda Bones of the Elbow Joint Include… Linda Humerus- Largest bone in the upper extremity. Articulates with the radius and ulna. Ulna- The stabilizing bone of the forearm. The medial and longer bone of the two forearms. (Pinky side) Radius- The lateral and shorter of the two forearm bones. (Thumb side) Trochlear Notch Ulna Olecranon Process Radial Notch Coronoid Process Olecranon Process- Big bony projection on proximal end. Coronoid Process-Prominant elevation on anterior surface. Trochlear Notch- Articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. Ulnar Tuberosity- Inferior to the coronoid process. Radial Notch- Smooth, rounded curve that articulates with the head of the radius. Linda Ulnar Tuberosity Anterior Right Posterior Right Anterior Right Posterior Right Humerus Capitulum- Articulates with the head of the radius. Olecranon Fossa- Big depression on the posterior side of the humerus. Medial Epicondyle- More prominent than the lateral epicondyle. Coronoid Fossa Trochlea- Articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna. Coronoid Fossa- Superior to the Medial Epicondyle trochlea, the smaller depression in the anterior side of the humerus. Lateral Epicondyle- Smaller than the medial epicondyle. Lateral Epicondyle Capitulum Olecranon Fossa Trochlea Linda Radius Neck Head- Smooth, flat surface for articulation with the capitulum of the humerus. Neck- Narrow part between the head and the radial tuberosity. Radial Tuberosity- Directly under the head and neck, flat surface. The attachment for the biceps muscle. Linda Head Radial Tuberosity Anterior Right Articular Capsule Linda Articular Capsule is "sleeve like" and surrounds a synovial joint, encloses the synovial cavity, and unites articulating bone. Composed of two layers… Fibrous Membrane- usually consisting of dense irregular connective tissue that attaches to the periosteum of the articulating bones. Synovial Membrane- Composed of areolar connective tissue with elastic fibers. Cartilage Linda Cartilage is a solid, stretchable type of connective tissue that forms parts of the skeleton where more flexibility and protection are necessary. Articular Cartilage provides a smooth, low friction gliding surface for free movement for the humerus, radius, and ulna. Its shiny surface also makes it kind of pretty! Bursae Linda Bursae are closed sacs containing fluid , they prevent friction and enable structures to move freely over one another. Intratendinous Olecranon BursaSometimes present in the tendon of the triceps Subtendinous Olecranon BursaLocated between the olecranon and the triceps tendon, just proximal to its attachment to the olecranon Subcutaneous Olecranon BursaLocated in the subcutaneous connective tissue over the olecranon Clinical Awareness of Bursae Linda Injury can happen to the subcutaneous olecranon bursa by falls on the elbow, and from infraction from abrasions of the skin covering the olecranon, causing the bursa to become inflamed. Repeated excessive pressure and friction produce a friction called Subcutaneous olecranon bursitis. Pain is severe during flexion of the forearm It is easy to treat if the patient follows the "P.R.I.C.E". Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Ligaments: Connect bone to bone Collateral ligaments of the elbow joint are strong triangular bands that are medial and lateral thickenings of the fibrous layer of the joint capsule Ulnar Collateral Ligament- Medial and triangular ligament that extends from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna consisting of three bands… 1. Anterior cord-like band is the strongest 2. Posterior fan-like band is the weakest 3. Slender oblique band that deepens the socket for the trochlea of the humerus Linda Ligaments Cont… Linda Radial Annular Ligament- This ligament encircles and holds the head of the radius in the radial notch of the ulna, and permits pronation and supination of the Radial Collateral Ligament forearm Radial Collateral LigamentLateral fan-like ligament that extends from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the annular ligament of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna.

Staring at a fire can be almost hypnoticWednesday, Sep 12, 2018
I burned a pile of brush the other night. We have burning restrictions here in Nova Scotia due to the lack of rain, so burning is limited to between the hours of 7 p.m. and 8 a.m., when the dew has settled.
I often wonder how forest fires are ignited so easily, it seems, when I struggle to get a pile of dry forsythia branches and old fence boards to burn but I finally had success after three previous attempts resulted in a petered-out fire.

Also, I played a little with the main stairs structure. These stairs are not in the plan of the Palace, I an invention but, the actual stairs was modified in XIX century, that lets me be creative...In absence of the original plans.
And finally, I can't avoid show you the first room of the noble floor, was a good idea prepare the patterns of the decoration and copy-drag with the mesh modules of the facade, now I can adjust quickly and have the room ready to live. Also I added a vault, door frames and some furniture. About windows, if you comes to Chateau de Versailles in SL, surely you could open almost the totality of the palace's windows. I clap, is beautifull and realistic, but they are spending a lot of server resources repeating scripts. Then, is preferable put opening windows where the view offers a good perspective.
I hope you enjoy this morsel of Naples!

When did classical and traditional music become so intertwined? I suppose we must go back to the 15th century to find where it started but the definition of classical music didn't appear until the early 1800s. In England, we can probably pin the blame on Ralph Vaughn Williams for nicking so many good tunes for Hymns Ancient & Modern and then Percy Grainger and George Butterworth. The purpose of this musing is to try to define Brian McAlpine and Mutual Imagination Society Vol 1.
Brian is first and foremost a composer, notably of music for film and television, where the accompaniment to a scene is so important and he's contributed as arranger, composer and performer to almost seventy albums. He doesn't borrow tunes but he does employ traditional styles so here you'll find massed highland pipes alongside horns laid over the foundation of his piano. He doesn't borrow tunes but 'November 6th', for example, sounds as though its origins lie deep in the past 'Blue Grass', which follows it, sounds much more contemporary with drones and massed keyboards. I'm just guessing here because Brian is a phenomenal multi-instrumentalist but modestly doesn't list all his instruments and what I take to be synthesised strings could be the real strings of Jonny Hardie and Alison Smith multi-tracked. 'Blue Grass' is a particularly fascinating track because half-way through Brian suddenly switches to banjo overlaid with pipes before eventually returning to the drones.
All the tracks dance around ideas and forms. The eleven minute opener, 'Suite #1', is a sort of hors d'oeuvre allowing the listener a taste of what is to come. Brian uses a good deal of piano-accordion but he doesn't do things in the obvious way. 'Piobroch #1' is initially a piano piece and just when you think it won't happen, here come the pipes but not for long and we're left with piano and accordion. 'The Tumbler', which comes next,opens with bluesy saxophone played Nigel Hitchcock but having established itself it wanders off for a while.
I'm not enough of an expert to say what Brian McAlpine does exactly or how he does it but he does say that each piece was composed to express an emotion and was inspired by the Scottish landscape and that, at least, I can recognise. I also know that it's a rather wonderful album.

Introduction: Trellis Plans
The Handyguys build a simple trellis out of a singe board. We document the process online at http://www.handyguyspodcast.com/118/episode-23-trellis-plans There is also an accompanying podcast and a downloadable .pdf describing the build at the same URL.
Step 1: Listen to the Podcast
Listening to the podcast will give you a better sense of the project. Go to http://www.handyguyspodcast.com/118/episode-23-trellis-plans and click the play button.
Step 2: Gather Materials and Tools, Build the Trellis
- Table saw
- Drill and bits
- Wood glue
- Spring clamps
- 5/4" x 6" x 8" knot free cedar or similar
- 4" exterior wood screws
- 1 1/4" exterior wood screws
- bar clamps
- square
2. Cut one of the slats into cross pieces as show on the next page
3. Cut your 3/16" slat into eight 6" pieces.
4. Assemble the base first as shown on page two. Use glue and screws. Pre-drill to prevent splitting. A bar clamp will help hold everything together while you are drilling and screwing.
5. Attach the top cross piece first. Use spring clamps to hold it while you drill and screw. Attach the center and outer two slats first then slats two and four. Attach with 1 1/4ââ¬ó exterior wood screws. Use a square to ensure the first cross piece is square to the center slat.
6. Attach the remaining cross pieces in the same fashion and make sure they are square to the center slat.
We hope you find this to be a useful project. You can download a .pdf of the plans http://www.handyguyspodcast.com/downloads/TrellisPlans.pdf

The Nador Sete ferry route connects Morocco with France. Currently there is just the 1 ferry company operating this ferry service, Grandi Navi Veloci. The crossing operates up to 1 times each week with sailing durations from around 39 hours 45 minutes.
Nador Sete sailing durations and frequency may vary from season to season so we'd advise doing a live check to get the most up to date information.
Prices shown represent the average one way price paid by our customers. The most common booking on the Nador Sete route is a car and 2 passengers.
The city of Nador is located in the north east Rif region of Morocco on the Mediterranean Sea coast. It is also a port on the Bhar Amezzyan Lagoon which has made it an important trading centre for fish, fruit and livestock. Around 10 km to the north of Nador is the Spanish city of Melilla. The city has been ruled by a number of different civilisations during its history. The city is believed to have been founded by the Berber Civilisation and then ruled by the Phoenicians, the Romans and the Arabs. The city's name is believed to derive from the name "Has Nador" which is a small settlement near the lagoon. The city is a popular meeting place for expatriate Moroccans who go to the city to meet their relatives and is therefore an important source of income for the city. The city does not have many sights of particular interest, there are no pretty little ports or beach side restaurants, but it is still a popular destination for tourists who visit Nador to take in its traditional Riffian atmosphere.
Ferry services from Nador depart to Almeria and Motril in Spain and Sete in France.
The French town of Sete lies on the cost of the Mediterranean Sea, around 30 km from Montpellier, and is sometimes referred to as the "Venice of Languedoc". The town's coastal and canal location is part of its charm and visitors to Sete will find a number of good restaurants, busy streets and visitor attractions to enjoy. If you head down to the St. Louis Pier you will be able to see yachts entering and leaving the harbour and fishing boats unloading the day's catch. The town was built on the sides of Mont St. Clair, between the Thau Lagoon, the Sea and the canals, and is one of the largest ports on the Mediterranean Sea coast. In Sete, there is a lovely mixture of scents from the Sea and the garrigue (Mediterranean scrubland) in the air.
From the town's port, ferries depart to Nador, Tangler Med and Barcelona.
