9 Books For Your Commute
Whether you have a short or a long commute, public transportation can be a significant part of your day. Your daily ride on the train or bus, to and from work, does not have to be a complete waste of time, especially if you bring books to read on your commute. In fact, you can make this time feel both satisfying and productive. Some of us like to use this daily trip to simply relax, reflect, and reenergize, while others find it more fun to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks.
Spending this time unplugged from technology can also benefit your day and your health. Reading a book during your morning or evening commute is a great way to add tech-free time to your day. The best books to choose are ones you'll find entertaining rather than ones that feel like a chore. Reading a fun novel during your commute can often take away the typical negative aspects of the commute. When you take the opportunity to slow down and enjoy a book, the commute can become one of your favorite parts of the day.
Here are nine books that will keep you completely entertained during your commute to work. They range from a collection of essays, to self-help, to fiction. Just make sure they don't make you miss your stop.
1. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is a collection of 22 autobiographical essays by humorist David Sedaris. His self-deprecating humor delves into his family, upbringing, heritage, homosexuality, jobs, education, and obsessive behaviors.
2. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
When you read the description of this book, it seems like another of version of The Fault in Our Stars. However, Andrews manages to avoid many of the typical YA stereotypes. The story is narrated by Greg Gaines, a very cynical and funny high school student. This book will potentially bring both laughter and tears to your commute.
3. The Stench of Honolulu: A Tropical Adventure by Jack Handey
Jack Handey, Emmy Award-winner and co-producer of Saturday Night Live, is best known for Deep Thoughts. The Stench of Honolulu is his first novel in which nearly every paragraph contains a joke. The story follows two men on a wild adventure in Hawaii trying to find the Golden Monkey.
4. I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley
I Was Told There'd Be Cake is a New York Times bestselling collection of 15 amusing essays ranging from childhood to present. She takes us on a journey through some of her most hilarious experiences living in New York City.

6. Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple

8. Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
Surprisingly, Modern Romance is full of actual data. Focus groups and interviews were taken into account in regards to how finding love in the modern era has changed. It is a successful hybrid of fact, advice, and comedy.
9. F*ck Feelings: One Shrink's Practical Advice for Managing All Life's Impossible Problems by Michael Bennett
This tough love self-help book values actions over emotions. The father-daughter duo created a refreshingly blunt and humorous approach to self-improvement. While this book has been branded the anti-self-help guide, it's still about understanding yourself.
Commuting can be a pain, but it doesn't have to be all bad. Use your free time to your advantage.

R&B singer August Alsina is getting ready to hit the road with some help from "Power" stud Rotimi and crooner Tone Stith. The trio are set to launch the Don't Matter tour next month.
Alsina went to Instagram Friday (June 2) with the big tour announcement.
Earlier this week, August released his new "Don't Matter" single.
Recently, Alsina shocked the world after revealing he's struggling with liver disease.
Hip hop star August Alsina has revealed he is struggling with liver disease and is 'sicker than ever'. The 24-year-old singer admitted he has an autoimmune disorder that affects his liver, in an emotional interview with his close friend Jade Pinkett Smith. The New Orleans native, who spent three days in a coma after collapsing onstage in 2014, said he was having a 'hard time' accepting what doctors are telling him.

If you were to meet Damon Davis in person, you would probably see him as the picture of good health. And yet Davis—a global leader, media guru and former basketball star—tells me he died 12 times before he was 25 years old. Davis went on a 10-year journey to find the physical and spiritual answers to his health problems, which he details in his new book, God Cures: 21 Days to Look Good, Live Great and Love Well.
I found Davis' story so fascinating that I asked him if he would let me interview him about it for my new podcast, "In Depth With Stephen Strang," which premieres today, Feb. 1, 2019, on the Charisma Podcast Network. His story of overcoming physical and emotional challenges certainly speaks of the power and wisdom of God. You can hear our podcast interview by clicking below, in which Davis told me that when he was young, doctors diagnosed him supraventricular tachycardia, which means he had a very fast heart rate.
"My heart would shoot to 250 to 270 beats per minute—sitting still," Davis says. "And your heart can't go that fast—like an engine in a car—without collapsing. And that's what they were afraid of."
Davis says whenever his heart rate would spike without warning, his family had to call 911. The paramedics would come and would either shock him with a defibrillator or inject him with Adenocard, a drug that flatlines the heart. Davis always preferred the defibrillator, because even the paramedics never knew if the Adenocard would kill him or not. There was always a chance Davis' heart wouldn't start again.

But Davis' problems weren't confined to his health. He says the real tragedy of his childhood was growing up in a divorced home. He mother remarried, but her new husband was physically abusive.
"I was in the home of a drunk, who would literally beat me every day in the boiler room of my house," Davis says. "[My mother] worked; she did not know. It wasn't until my grandparents found the welts on my legs and the scabs from bleeding that [they] rescued me from my home."
That abuse set Davis on a journey of struggle, tragedy, bewilderment, fear and low self-esteem. But the worst was yet to come. One morning after visiting Congo, Davis woke up to discover he couldn't get out of bed. He couldn't shut his hands. He managed to crawl to the floor but felt like he was walking on glass. Finally, he got to the doctor, who told him he had rheumatoid arthritis, an aggressive autoimmune disease that was incurable.
"We get sick and we all go through the same thing," Davis says. "... [The doctors] put you on medication, and then you go back to life. But usually it's a modified version of what life is supposed to be. God created us to live this amazing life full of destiny and purpose. And I believe there's a strategy of the enemy to keep us from ever accomplishing and experiencing what God put in us to see unleashed in the world."
Davis says God created the answer, but unfortunately His people often don't see it.
"The church has done a great job talking about the spirit and the soul," he says. "We've done a very poor job of understanding the temple."
What Davis discovered is that much disease comes from a misalignment between body and soul. The reason for this is that disease goes back to what the medical community calls epigenetics. He says when the Bible talks about God knowing us before we were born and "writing into us" in Psalm 139, part of that includes our genes. Within our genes, Davis explains, we find traces of disease that our bodies express when the struggle and trauma of life take their toll on us. Davis calls this process "gene expression."
And while Davis believes in supernatural healing, he says there's a stark difference between healing and cure. God can heal us, but He also wants us to eradicate the things in our lives that are causing us to be sick and diseased in the first place. In God Cures, Davis details how to do just that.
"It's a 21-day journey that starts with us bringing into alignment our spirit and our soul," Davis says. "[Then it requires] a revelation of things we can do now, going forward, to not end up back where we were. And then finally, [I offer] a lot of practical steps that we just don't understand about how some food heals and some food kills; what proper exercise, diet and nutrition [are] all about; and the things that we can do physically to become the best version of ourselves."
Davis stresses, though, that this book is not a diet plan. On the contrary, he calls it a "balanced and sensible approach" to holistic health that starts with God.
I hope you order a copy of Davis' book—whether for yourself or someone you know. You can find the book at amazon.com or anywhere books are sold. To hear more of Davis' profound insights into gene expression—including the fascinating science behind it—click on my podcast below!

Recently I've been re-visiting patterns soon after my first make as it's easier to fix any design or fit issues whilst construction is still fresh. If I go back to a pattern after a few months, I've usually forgotten if changes were needed.
For my second GBSB woven shift I scooped out the neckline and used some bias binding to finish it rather than the suggested facing. I also lengthened the dress as my original alteration was a bit on the short side. I still found sewing the hem tricky. The pattern uses bias to finish the hem which splits at the side seam. Getting the bias tape to merge into the side seam is fiddly and involves a bit of hand sewing. I top stitched my hem and chalked my stitch line at the side seam to get a nice finish. The print is lighter than my first iteration so any wonky top stitching would show.
I used a cotton poplin that had been in my stash a while. I love this abstract print and have been saving it for a shift dress. The cotton has just the right amount of body and is the perfect weight for a summer dress. I'm obsessed with shift dresses at the moment. They are so easy to wear and can be smart or casual depending on fabric choice. There's the added bonus of not being restricted around the tummy area.
This dress came together really quickly and is perfect for stash busting. Expect to see more iterations on this blog.

The Road to the Arkansas Derby continues on Monday at Oaklawn Park with the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes, headed by Uncontested, the runaway winner of last month's Smarty Jones.
Several return from last month's Smarty Jones (our recap is here), with some intriguing new faces as well. Let's take a look at the field.
1 – Cool Arrow (12-1) – If someone can got with Uncontested, it might be him, though I don't know if he's fast enough. Either way, his win in the Springboard Mile was aided by a very slow pace and he was no match for Warrior's Club two-back. Prefer others.
2 – Silver Dust (10-1) – He broke slow and was very green in his October debut before returning a winning going a one-turn mile at Churchill on November 20th. This will be his first start around two-turns, but that shouldn't be a problem for this son of Tapit. I think this horse might be pretty good for trainer Randy Morse and is going to be a big part of the play.
3 – Uncontested (5-2) – We don't expect that he'll be 5-2 (that would be a very fair price), but the impressive Smarty Jones winner is more than just a one-race wonder. He ran a big race when setting a fast pace behind McCraken in the Kentucky Jockey Club after a sprint debut win. He's going to play catch me if you can again and they'll have a tough time doing that. If there is one knock, it's that there is probably a little more pace in this race. But that might not be enough to get him beat today.
4 – Lookin' at Lee (8-1) – This deep closer figures to get a big pace to attack for his first start since the Breeders Cup Juvenile. He's a plodder though and we thought he basically was picking up pieces in his last two races, albeit races against Classic Empire.
5 – Rowdy the Warrior (20-1) – He was our underneath key in the Smarty Jones after a very tough trip behind a slow pace in the Springboard Mile at Remington. Last time, he ran fine, but didn't really threaten Uncontested. If the fast pace he needs develops, it will help several others as well, and with seven starts already under his belt, it's fair to question his remaining upside. Underneath use only.
6 – Cu Rahy (50-1) – He was dusted in the Smarty Jones and again last time in an allowance race and appears overmatched.
7 – Warrior's Club (12-1) – He ran fine in the Kentucky Jockey Club two back and didn't have much punch in the Smarty Jones last time, though perhaps he didn't care for the slop. Still, he's another with eight starts already and it's fair to question his upside. His big win, the Spendthrift Stakes, was aided by a very slow pace as well. I just think he's a cut below at this point.
8 – Petrov (5-1) – He's moving in the right direction figure-wise and was in a tough spot last time out chasing Uncontested and then having to try to finish – he did fine to finish a clear second but didn't threaten the winner. It should be noted that none of his four siblings to win were route winners, only sprint winners, so the extra 16th of a mile might not be to his advantage. He also figures to be chasing a solid pace today. I like him as a horse, but we'll try to keep him out of the exacta as the third choice.
9 – Dilettante (15-1) – He broke through in his 8th start with a nice win that earned an 88 Beyer, second best in the field, and far and away his career best. If he repeats, he'll be right there, but it should be noted that several others in the race had big figure jumps too. He's a threat on a repeat, but I don't see a repeat.
10 – Hence (20-1) – This late runner for Steve Asmussen broke his maiden last time at 1-2 on a sloppy track. He did defeat a next-out winner, but that horse saw his figure fall 5 points in the repeat victory. He drew a poor post and seems like he's in a tough position against much tougher horses.
11 – One Liner (7-2) – Todd Pletcher ships this horse up from Gulfstream after an allowance win on January 26th, which came in his first start off a six month layoff. He's obviously very talented, but is going to have to be used early from the 11 post. That won't be an easy task especially since he might be in the chasing position behind Uncontested.
12 – PC Cowboy (30-1) – He makes his first start for new trainer John Ortiz after finishing third in an allowance race going a mile on January 27th. He could be forwardly placed, but looks overmatched against these.
13 – Chief Know It All (12-1) – He wired an allowance race for Brad Cox on January 27th (beating PC Cowboy) but is in a very tough spot from this 13 post. Plus, his best races have come on the lead, which is hard to see happening with Uncontested in the field. You have to respect his outstanding trainer Brad Cox, but this is a tall order.
Projected Pace – It should be solid enough. Uncontested is likely to go to the lead and is fast enough to clear early, but there are more horses to push him along than last time. Will that be enough to get him beat?
Analysis – To answer our last question…doubt it. He just looks like the best horse in the field to us. One Liner and Petrov will be the second and third choices, and they are going to be the ones we'll play against. Both have to chase and finish with some fairly promising late runners behind them.
Play – Uncontested looks very tough, but we'll play him over Silver Dust, Lookin at Lee, and a little Rowdy the Warrior. We'll reverse for a little bit as well, but the main play will be Uncontested over Silver Dust and Lookin at Lee. If Silver Dust is at least 10-1, we'll have a few bucks on him to win.

Possessing Knowledge
January 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Perhaps 150 academics have contacted me over the last 11 years after coming across one of my websites or this blog. Some were directed to my work by my having contacted them. Others happened across it on a search. Others by referral. Almost universally, they leave no comments online. They email me directly with comments or questions. I receive maybe one email for every three posts by nonacademics. With academics, I receive maybe 200 emails for every one comment post.
I don't think the issue is that they feel like they are performing or speaking to a group when commenting online where other visitors can observe a conversation. What I believe is happening here is partly a hesitation to become associated with concepts they themselves have not signaled that they support. Perhaps they are concerned about association with an individual that will tout the visitor's support when it was not provided.
The horizontal, transparent, diverse world of the Internet does not exactly occupy the same behavioral space as academia. Academics are carving out territories where their names are associated with various disciplines. They are building walls around a place where their expertise has been established. This is so they can at least partly possess the respect that accompanies association. On the web, we mostly concentrate on taking down walls while seeking respect by sharing ideas to watch them spread beyond our awareness and control. This difference between professional and amateur doesn't seem that extreme. Still, control does seem an issue.
The professional, the academic, when offered respect, achieves units of currency called citations. The amateur, the blogger and net surfer are also offered respect in the form of citations represented by links and comments. In this way, the academic and the blogger/user are much alike.
The academic mostly shares his or her work and receives little or no money, as does the Internet sharer of ideas. Of course, the more often academics publish, the more likely they will achieve tenure, but once tenure is achieved, papers published still bring little money.
The academics base their seeking of community respect upon the words they compose, papers written with much attention to detail, citing allies whose work they respect or whose support they seek.
The net idea maker usually places far less attention on the words composed. Citations are far more casual, often neglected altogether.
A major difference, of course, is that source material in academia is often difficult to retrieve. Barriers among disciplines–different journals, different academic languages, different conferences–inhibit communication. Until the last 150 years, academics were almost exclusively the wealthy and elites. Then, to pursue an academic career and have access to peer-reviewed journals, proof of entry was required–a degree. Once academics have achieved a degree, the coveted information frame of reference continues to be the most effective way to establish territory among elites.
There seems to be more similarities between academia and Internet relations than differences, though the differences are stark. Still, wrestling with why so few academics leave comments on the over 600 posted pieces, I'd conclude that because words are the most important possession of a university professional, they are loath to share them publicly without the compensation of a potential citation from someone that shares their elevated or segregated station, or at least they want assurance that the other party won't embarrass them among their peers.
Is there a hierarchy here that should be flattened, an elite that should be taxed? The product of the current academic system is astonishing erudition. Might useful results be achieved if some barriers were removed? Clearly, the current system inhibits seamless sharing of high quality information.
Sharing is what the Internet is all about, behaving as an example and metaphor for the direction that society is taking. Academia, with roots in nineteenth century elitism, has trouble with the concept of sharing. Livings are made and reputations are established by embracing a covetous attitude toward knowledge.
Academics possess knowledge. Net users share it. When academics start leaving comments, I'll know that some walls are finally coming down.

The Multimatic DSSV-equipped Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 successfully completed America's Longest Off-Road Race – the famous 550-mile Best In The Desert, "Vegas to Reno" event.
The course encompasses a wide array of grueling terrain, from silty desert wallows, to dry lake beds and mountain passes as high as 8,000 ft. above sea level.
Entered in class 7300, which comprises stock production mid-sized pick-ups and SUVs, the modifications made to the ZR2 by Chad Hall Racing included sanctioning body-mandated safety items such as a roll cage, a 44-gallon racing fuel tank and racing seats with safety harnesses. KC HiLites racing lights, two-way radios and a GPS system have also been added. The truck retained the stock ZR2's 3.6L V-6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, along with a modified version of ZR2's Multimatic DSSVTM damper technology.
In addition to Hall Racing's alterations, this crew cab ZR2 acts a testbed for Chevy Performance and hints at a range of potential parts to be offered for ZR2 as well as the standard Colorado.
More information about the truck and event is available from Chevrolet.

What is JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex?
JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex is a dietary supplement formulated to help people suffering from chronic joint stiffness and general difficulties in movement.
The manufacturer claims that this supplement is also capable of addressing joint deterioration that occurs as a natural consequence of aging and daily and wear and tear.
This supplement works best for people who can use some help in restoring flexibility to improve mobility and bring comfort in movement.
Table of Contents [Show]
It provides added lubrication to prevent friction that causes joints and bones to become brittle and damaged.
This feature also provides added protection during use of joints and when exercising.
Who is the Manufacturer of JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex?
This supplement is distributed by JB Nutra, a privately-owned trading company. The company claims to have many years of experience in trading goods, including supplements.
The company description on Amazon, however, does not provide details about its track record in the nutrition, health and wellness business.
A third-party website associates JB Nutra with the Juicy Beetle Nutrition, LLC, a company based in Delaware in USA.
Another third-party source lists the company and states that the company has only been operational for two years.
How Does JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex Work?
This joint pain product works by delivering a combination of glucosamine sulfate, chondrotin sulfate and MSM[1], ingredients that have been associated with improvement of joint and bone health.
These components support proper natural body processes that are involved in repairing damaged joints and in maintaining optimal joint functions.
The addition of ingredients that contain high amounts of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories helps provide enhanced protection from future damage, including the prevention of swelling which can lead to greater flexibility, comfort in mobility, and better range of motion in the long run.
JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex Ingredients – Are they Safe & Effective?
This product is formulated with a combination of key compounds claimed to positively influence joint health, as well as natural extracts that function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
More specifically joint supplement consists of the following ingredients:
- Glucosamine Sulfate: It speeds up the body's joint repair mechanisms which supports the faster and more effective restoration of damaged joints by enhancing the rate of production of cartilage which serves as the building block of bones
- Chondroitin Sulfate: When combined with glucosamine, the pairing boosts the restoration of damaged joints
- MSM: It helps facilitate mechanisms necessary to build bones and enhance bone health by delivering sulfur, an element critical in bone production
- Boswellia Extract: It improves the effectiveness and rate of absorption by the body of all the beneficial ingredients folded into this supplement as it simultaneously slows down the rate of collagen breakdown, resulting to decreased rate of joint damage, most especially that caused by the natural aging process[2].
- Quercetin: It contains both antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components which support enhanced joint immunity from future damage and decreases the rate of aging
- Methionine: It initially helps by rendering affected joints with its natural analgesic properties which, in turn, results to greater joint flexibility in the long-run
- Turmeric: It contains strong antioxidants, as well as anti-inflammatory components that promote significant improvements in joint health
- Bromelain: An enzyme derived from pineapples which has been found to have strong anti-inflammatory properties[3], it promotes faster healing while simultaneously blocking future joint damage caused by inflammation
What are the Advantages of JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex?
- It contains anti-inflammatories which may provide comfort from pain.
- This supplement commits to deliver both short-term and buildable longer-term effects to joint health.
- The formula contains components that help improve the efficiency of supplement absorption which allows for pain relief to be delivered faster.
- Antioxidants are infused into the formula to help protect joints from future causes of damage and deterioration.
What are the Disadvantages of JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex?
- There is very little information shared about this supplement which fails to explain exactly how this supplement works and what it commits to do for you.
- The cost amounts to triple or double the price of most other supplements that are similarly formulated as this product.
- One bottle of this supplement contains only 60 capsules which, if taken at three capsules daily as instructed by its makers, will only last you for 20 days.
- This supplement contains shellfish which may cause allergic reactions in some users.
- Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories derived from natural ingredients are present in very low concentrations and may hardly contribute to the delivery of claims made about this product.
- This supplement contains low levels of chondroitin and MSM compared to other similarly formulated joint supplements which will likely influence product potency to deliver joint pain relief and enhance overall joint health.

How Should You take JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex?
The manufacturer recommends taking three capsules daily although it fails to inform if the capsules should be taken at different times of the day, and whether or not these should be taken with a meal or, an empty stomach.
How Much Does JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex Cost?
One bottle containing 60 capsules which makes for a 20-day supply of this joint supplement costs $39.99 on one of the retailer websites.
There is no indication if discounts are available for bulk purchases.
What is JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex's Return Policy?
There is no information about product return and exchange.
Does JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex Offer a Free Trial?
There is no information about a free trial being offered for this product.
JB NUTRA Ultra Joint Flex Review – Final Verdict
Almost the only information a person can know about this product is that it is intended to promote joint health.
Other than that, its makers do not make any attempt to explain how this joint pain supplement works.
The formulation is also typical, closely mirroring how many other joint supplements are made but, the price is premium, most especially because 1 bottle will last only for 20 days when taken at the recommended rate of 3 capsules per day.
The lack of thorough information about the manufacturer makes this choice even harder. The best action you can take is to list down the pros and cons then compare it with other joint supplements such as CurcuWell, Helix Original, Inflama-Rest, and Hydraflexin.

The main opening will end up being the back with a large armored assault ramp. My original plan is to use foam as the floor but I am thinking about mounting a wooden or metal floor in the bottom and then use it as a model transport.
This side will end up being the front. I am planning to cut a four inch hole just below the vent. This will eventually hold the belly gun. The dome is about eighteen or so inches across and it is going to be a big model. I will use the BoLS Lords of Battle Vol2.0 datsheet for the Great Gargant to plan its equipment.
It is very much a work in progress but I think I can get the majority of it together rather quickly and then take some time on the detailing.

The last and the lowest lake of Upper Lakes Is "KOZJAK LAKE" ("JEZERO KOZJAK")!
It is located on an altitude of 534 meters above the sea level, and has a title of the largest as well as deepest lake in the whole lake system of Plitvice Lakes.
It covers an enormous area of 82 hectares, and its depth is 48 meters! Its length is more than 2.35 kilometres, can you believe that? As well as its enormous width, it goes from 135 to 670 meters! This is the last lake which belongs to the group of Plitvice Upper Lakes.
"Kozjak" is coming from a Croatian word "koza" which means "goat", because a legend is telling about a herd of goats who have been chased by wolfs and then got lost around this exact lake.
This lake is fed by several waters, firstly from "Burgeti Lake", and also by streams of "Rječica", "Matijaševac" and "Jasenovac".
This lake is also a natural phenomenon as it was formed by natural flooding of nearby waterfalls and merging on two lakes, which barrier you can still see in about 4 meters depth. Today, this lake is stretching from northwest to southeast. Colours of the lake are mostly dark green to turquoise, depending on the season. In the middle of this beautiful lake, you can see a small island called "Štefanijin otok", on which you can dock with a small boat and go to the next direction of your visit to Plitvice Lakes, Lower Lakes.
The end of the lake there is a barrier and waterfall where waters flow down into Milanovac Lake.
PRO TIP: Start your visit to Plitvice Lakes here, to avoid the crowds of visitors!
Kozjak GPS Coordinates: 44.884518,15.613077 /44°53'04.3″N 15°36'47.1″E
This is the first and highest lake in Plitvice Lower Lakes area!
It is located on an altitude of 524 meters above the sea level, and can be set among the smaller lakes in the whole lake system but the largest in the Lower Lakes. Its area is around 3.2 hectares and its maximum depth is around 18 meters. The length of the lake is 470 meters while the width is between 50 and 90 meters.
Waters for this lake come for "Kozjak Lake", and they are forming a beautiful waterfall called "Milanovački Slap" which is 10 meters high.
Its name origin comes from a Croatian word "Milan" which is a common Croatian name, but also a person who had mills in this lake. It is situated in a canyon, so it is naturally formed in between rocks and cliffs, and some of them are twenty meters high. You have two walking paths, one of them is taking you all the way along the lake, while another one is taking you along the cliff's upper levels where you can enjoy panoramic scenarios.
Its colours really depend on daily light and sky's brightness, so the water can vary from light green to dark blue colours. At the end of the lake, you can see a plateu ending with another barrier and more waterfalls, whose waters continue its path towards Gavanovac Lake.

Fox News' Retracted Seth Rich Conspiracy Theory Story Unlikely to Spark Lawsuit
When a man dies, the right to take someone to court for defamation of his character dies with him — leaving little recourse for families like that of Seth Rich.
Rich was shot in the back in D.C. last July, while employed by the Democratic National Committee. On May 16, Fox News ran a story alleging that the staffer had leaked thousands of internal DNC emails to WikiLeaks. The story doesn't explicitly link Rich's murder to the allegation that he was the source of a leak appearing to show that party officials were conspiring against Bernie Sanders — but it does note that the "botched robbery theory" hasn't panned out and whoever shot Rich didn't take his wallet, cellphone or other valuables.
The Washington Post on May 23 published an op-ed written by Rich's parents, who asked the conservative media to "stop politicizing" their son's death. "We have seen no evidence, by any person at any time, that Seth's murder had any connection to his job at the Democratic National Committee or his life in politics," it says. "Anyone who claims to have such evidence is either concealing it from us or lying."
That same day, Fox retracted its article saying it "was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require." The network's host Sean Hannity, however, indicated he's not going to drop the subject forever. "Out of respect for the family's wishes, for now, I am not discussing this matter at this time," he told his viewers Tuesday evening. Hannity also wrote on Twitter that he's "working harder than ever to get to the truth the family wants and deserves." The anchor is currently on vacation, amid calls from advocacy groups for advertisers to boycott his show.
While public backlash has been swift, experts say there probably won't be any legal ramifications in response to Fox's story about Rich.
After all, there's one glaring, insurmountable legal hurdle. "The right of defamation dies with the individual," says litigator Neville Johnson. "The person's family doesn't really have any right of defamation."
Trying an end-run with claims like invasion of privacy or infliction of emotional distress likely wouldn't work, either.
Johnson says few have tried to sue on behalf of departed loved ones since Errol Flynn's daughters took biographer Charles Higham to court in the '80s over his claims that their dad was a Nazi spy. Both the trial and appellate courts sided with Higham.
"The courts have uniformly said you can't get around that rule by pleading it in a different way," says Jeremiah Reynolds of Kinsella Weitzman. "I don't really know how [the Riches] could come up with a claim. It's a shame because it's really a pretty egregious case."
It would make an effective media law class hypothetical, according to Fox Rothschild litigator Lincoln Bandlow, who teaches at USC and says the network's decision to retract the story was likely rooted in journalistic integrity and not fear of legal liability. "In a post-Rolling Stone verdict environment, you don't want to be a news organization that looks like it's standing by questionable or disputed sources," he says, referencing the 2016 jury who found the magazine liable for defamation after it retracted a story about an alleged gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity.
News outlets, or individual personalities like Hannity, that intend to keep pursuing this story would be wise to leave the staffer's family out the picture, though.
"If there's a statement that somehow references the family itself, that's the key," says Bandlow. "If the story veers into 'the family knows this was a DNC murder hit and they're keeping it covered up,' then you're going to have a problem."

Housing Minister Phil Twyford says that the Government wants to "strike a balance between providing tenants with security of tenure and allowing them to make their house a home, while protecting the rights and interests of landlords", but headlines his announcement as "Government to make life better for renters":
The public is being asked for feedback on new Government proposals aimed at making life better for renters, Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford has announced.
"Our tenancy laws are antiquated and don't reflect the fact that renting is now a long-term reality for many of our families. A third of all New Zealanders now rent," Phil Twyford said.
I think that renting has been a long-term reality for a lot of families for a long time, but many people only rent for relatively short terms – see (2015) The average length of stay in a rental property is two years says Barfoot & Thompson
"Insecure tenure can forcer families to continually move house. This is particularly tough on children whose education suffers when they have to keep changing schools."
Phil Twyford urges landlords, tenants and other interested people to have their say on the proposals covered in a discussion document on reforming the Residential Tenancies Act released today.
"We want to strike a balance between providing tenants with security of tenure and allowing them to make their house a home, while protecting the rights and interests of landlords."
That could be a challenge. It will be difficult to legally require landlords to provide secure long-term tenancies, as that would bind them to long-term ownership of rental properties.
The discussion document covers proposals on:
- ending no cause tenancy terminations while ensuring landlords can still get rid of rogue tenants
- increasing the amount of notice a landlord must generally give tenants to terminate a tenancy from 42 days to 90 days
- whether changes to fixed-term agreements are justified to improve security of tenure
- limiting rent increases to once a year
- whether there should be limitations on the practice of 'rent bidding'
- whether the general obligations that tenants and landlords have remain fit for purpose
- better equipping tenants and landlords to reach agreement about pets and minor alternations to the home
- whether further controls for boarding houses are needed to provide adequate protection for boarding house tenants
- introducing new tools and processes into the compliance and enforcement system.
"As people rent for longer, they want to be secure in their homes and put down roots in their community. That's why making life better for renters is an important aspect of the Government's housing plan," Phil Twyford said.
Should people who rent expect to be able to securely "put down roots in their community" long-term?
The discussion document and a link to an online submission survey are available at: www.mbie.govt.nz/rta-reform.

'markmclaren' in My LinkedIn URL Put It on Page One of Google
Here's a deceptively simple search engine optimization tip: whenever possible, put the relevant keyword into the URL (web address) of the page you want to optimize.
You may have noticed that on a Google search results page, whenever keywords appear in the URL of a listed page, they are in bold. For example, in a Google search for "mark mclaren", whenever the words "mark" or "mclaren" are in a URL, they are in bold.
Several Google results for "mark mclaren". The keyword terms that appear in the page URLs are always shown in bold.
Google looks at a number of things to figure out what a page is about, and the URL is definitely one of them.
I did a little experiment lately to prove the point. My LinkedIn profile has a custom URL — as they all do: you can change your LinkedIn URL from a generic numerical URL to whatever you choose. Mine used to be http://www.linkedin.com/in/mcbuzz and it was nowhere near page one of Google results for "mark mclaren".
Then I changed it to what it is now: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mcbuzzmarkmclaren and a few weeks later, there it was on page one. To the best of my knowledge, all other factors remained unchanged, so this stands as pretty good evidence of the power of putting keywords into a URL when you want to improve a page's rank in search results.
If you try this technique with your own LinkedIn URL, be sure to put the new link somewhere where search engines will find it. One good place is in the sidebar of your blog or website using one of the "View My Profile" buttons LinkedIn provides. See an example of a LinkedIn profile button on the McBuzz About This Site page. If you already have one of these, you need to update the URL to match your newly customized one.

In addition, flocks of 23+14 'very dark' birds were seen flying 'in' then circling high before heading north-west over Black Combe. They were thought to be skuas by the observer but too distant to be at all certain
Kittiwake - flock of c75 in, then on, then out. 6 in
Fulmar - 2 out
Gannet - probably about 15 in total, including a few immatures
Whimbrel - 10

Arctic Skua - dm in at 1335
Gannet - 4
Sandwich tern - 2 out
Whimbrel - 1

I Am Jenna Hamilton
No Doubt is the tenth episode of the first season. It was first broadcast on September 20, 2011.
Jenna feels like she and Matty are actually on solid ground for the first time when he asks her out on their first real date. But, when Tamara reveals her suspicion that Matty wrote Jenna's care-frontation letter, Jenna starts to question everything about her romance with Matty.
It's a normal day at school, until Jenna notices a fight between Jake and Lissa because Jake told Lissa he kissed Jenna. Jenna sees the fight and gets slapped by Lissa. This causes Valerie to act as a mediator between Jake and Lissa about how he can make it up to Lissa. Elsewhere, Jenna tries to reconnect with Tamara via help from Ming. Jenna is forgiven, but Tamara confesses she didn't write the letter and just said it because she was hurt.
Moreover, Tamara voices her theory that Matty wrote the letter. This causes Jenna to rethink her "relationship" with Matty while complications arise when Matty wants to take Jenna out for dinner in a secluded area. It turns out to be Matty's family's restaurant and Jenna's concerns are resolved when Matty's uncle comments about how Matty has never taken a girl there before.
When they get back to Jenna's home, Tamara and Ming bust their date with games and confessions but are soon won over by Matty's true words. Before leaving Matty and Jenna alone, Tamara whispers that she doesn't think that Matty wrote the letter anymore. In the meantime, Lissa and Sadie team up to make Jake break up his friendship with Jenna but he ends up apologizing to Jenna for the earlier fight, and breaks up with Lissa.

WARNING: Spoilers are coming.
It was hard not to be overly excited about the finale for the fourth season of Game of Thrones for a couple of reasons. First of all, "The Watchers on the Wall", the penultimate episode of the season, wasn't really a true Game of Thrones episode; it was a sample of what a GoT movie could be like…
The bigger reason to be excited, however, was the fact that all week a certain quote from showrunners David Benioff & D.B. Weiss spread like wildfire (yes, pun intended): "['The Children' is] the best finale we've ever done, bar none."
Was that going to really be the case?
Of course it was, how couldn't it have been? This episode was jam-packed with plot turns that would usually be on their own as the focal-point of more character-driven episodes. But, somehow, the crescendo of all the storylines preceding "The Children" resolved harmoniously with heroic surprises — from new characters and old — and a litter of untimely deaths scattered throughout…
Great personal, character-centric moments were supported by amazing performances — especially from that of Lena Headey and Peter Dinklage — while a couple more great action sequences were added onto this season's legacy.
The real story with this particular Thrones season finale was that the inevitable surprises were actually had by all, even the book readers. The biggest outcry was concerning the absence of a certain character (this deacon isn't trying to be vague at all; I'm shielding myself from book spoilers as well) and the premature death of a couple of others.
To top it all off, Benioff and Weiss left us with the some of the best, most frustrating, cliffhangers of the series so far:
-What's Arya (Maisie Williams) going to do in Bravos? Is shes going to start her assassin training so she can cross a few more names off that list? And perhaps wind up Link's replacement in a certain forthcoming Wii U game?
-Is Stannis (Stephen Dillane) going to try and be the saviour of Westeros and go after the White Walkers? Where the hell are the White Walkers? Why was Melisandre (Caribe van Houten) giving Jon Snow (Kit Harington) that look? Could that be a look of a mother seeing not exactly approving of how her estranged son turned out?
-Then there's the question that's eating myself up the most: Is there going to be a Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright)-centric, How to Warg Your Dragon episode in the next few seasons? They have to be building him up to control a dragon, right?!
Of course, the number one rule when trying to predict future Game of Thrones events (for non-book readers) still stands: just don't. If "The Children" — and season four as a whole — is any indication, the journey can be even more fun than the destination.
Until next year, Westeros.

When it comes to bookmarking a website lunascape is the most inconvenient browser to use.
When clicking on a website to bookmark it should be a simple process of clicking on a tab to save it,
like in many other browsers.
On Lunascape the method of saving a website to your favorites is the worst feature I have ever seen
on any web browser ever.
It's hard to explain why but if you try to do yourself you'll see what I mean.
I've tried unsuccessfully to book many websites and found I couldn't.
For the benefit of your users try making this a simpler and more convenient process rather
than a headache.
This should not be puzzle or a brain teaser.

CLIVE Palmer's Cayman Islands-registered Hawker Beechcraft 4000 Horizon Bizjet VP-CPP touched down in Bundaberg at the weekend, but the United Australia Party leader didn't appear to make the trip to the Rum City.
According to Central Queensland Plane Spotting, the private aircraft visited Gladstone and Bundaberg airports on Saturday.
The VP-CPP flew down to Gladstone Airport from Townsville before it then continued to Bundaberg Airport.
It returned to Townsville from Bundy around sunset.
According to the plane enthusiast website, Mr Palmer took delivery of VP-CPP in the middle of January after the sleek bizjet arrived on the Gold Coast (where it is currently based) from the US.
Previously Mr Palmer utilised other corporate bizjets and a helicopter to fly around Australia and overseas, the Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign VP-CFP and Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express M-ATAR were more recently used.
He has also flown around in a pair of McDonnell Douglas MD-82s registered VP-CBH and VP-CBI, plus Agusta A119 Koala helicopter VH-KOL, which were all registered to Mineralogy, the mining company owned by Mr Palmer.
Mr Palmer has ramped up campaigning in the lead up to the next federal election, however despite targeting Hinkler with billboards, texts and TV advertising, a candidate for the region is yet to be announced.

Accor announces two majestic hotels in India - Raffles Jaipur and Raffles Udaipur - in the presence of Accor Chairman & CEO Sébastien Bazin and owner, Ratankant Sharma.
The iconic Raffles brand is synonymous with luxury and extraordinary adventure and this announcement signals a new direction for Accor in India, with a stronger focus on luxury and premium brands. Both hotels will deliver a palatial experience in an extraordinary setting along with the famously discreet and personalised Raffles service.
Raffles is renowned for setting the standard for luxury hospitality for over 130 years. With 13 properties across 11 countries, each Raffles hotel represents a carefully curated experience in the most distinguished addresses in the world. Since joining the Accor network in 2015, the brand has undergone a renaissance, with a strong pipeline that will see the portfolio double in the next few years.
India's state of Rajasthan is unique for its rich heritage and tradition and is famous for its spectacular palaces and forts, which makes it the perfect setting to continue the Raffles legend. Jaipur forms part of the culturally rich tourist circuit known as The Golden Triangle, which comprises New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur; while Udaipur is a natural extension of this given its proximity to Jaipur. Both cities are renowned as epicentres for the highest levels of luxury, so it makes sense that the Raffles brand will make its presence in both. For the well-travelled, both Rajasthan and Raffles represent a perfect confluence of adventure, luxury, gastronomy and discovery.
Commenting on this historic occasion, Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO Accor, said: "It is with immense pride that we announce the arrival of the Raffles brand in India, a hallmark of luxury and sublime service in a country that is famous for delivering luxury at the highest level. With our strategic partners, we look forward to providing an oasis of calm and charm in two of the most incredible destinations in India. We thank Mr Ratankant Sharma and our partners for entrusting us with these landmark properties and we look forward to delivering the distinctive Raffles experience to travellers in India. We also thank Mr Sharma for bringing the first Fairmont to India in Jaipur and extending this partnership to the Raffles brand."
"Today's signing of the Raffles Jaipur and Raffles Udaipur marks a historic moment for Accor in India and certainly for tourism in India," said Jean-Michel Cassé, Chief Operating Officer (COO) – India and South Asia, Accor. "We are seeing increasing demand for luxury travel in India and are looking forward to expanding Accor's globally renowned portfolio of luxury brands in this incredible country. The addition of the iconic Raffles brand signals a new era for our group."
Also commenting on this occasion, Rantankant Sharma, said "Bringing the Raffles brand, which is synonymous with excellence, taste and luxury, to India is a perfect fit for our vision to lead both Udaipur and Jaipur, the historic cities of Rajasthan, into their next chapter whilst keeping their historic values and ties. The opening of Raffles Udaipur and Raffles Jaipur is a key moment in our strategic growth in India and represents a new era of highly differentiated ultra-luxury experiences for Udaipur's and Jaipur's residents and visitors. These two hotels will be the jewel in the crown of our landmark developments and centrepiece in these vibrant, rich and magnificent cities. We are very grateful to the Accor Group and Sébastien Bazin for giving us the opportunity to bring our vision to both the historic cities of Rajasthan to create new icons in India's most magical cities. This partnership reinforces our foresight of India becoming a global gateway with world-class facilities that set new standards for residents and visitors alike. We look forward to welcoming guests and offering them the most memorable experience in a timeless destination."
Raffles Udaipur, India, set to open in December 2019, Raffles Udaipur will be the first for Raffles in India. Often referred to as the "Venice of the East," Udaipur is located in the western state of Rajasthan and famous for its rich cultural heritage, lakes, temples and palaces. Easily accessed from Udaipur's main attractions, the resort will include Raffles' Signatures such as a 1,100 square meter Raffles Spa, Long Bar, and Writers Bar along with a rooftop restaurant and an all-day dining restaurant, a swimming pool, and deck. Situated on an island in the middle of a lake, Raffles Udaipur will offer a truly unique setting for the 101 room Resort.
