text: An interesting premise for a story. It does, however, seem like a plot line suited for an adult story. I’ll have to see how it is handled since a mouth teen is more than suited to deal with aliens next door. Sounds interesting. I’ll have to keep my open for it. Thanks for the review.

"The Martian", the latest space adventure from the man who gave us the seminal "Alien" franchise, can be summed up in one particular scene. In it, commander Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain) of the Ares III mission discusses the rescue options for Mark Watney (Matt Damon), the crew member they mistakenly left behind on Mars. The most viable one will require great risk and extend their current assignment by a few more years, keeping them away from their loved ones for and the safety of home. From the immediate affirmative reaction from the crew however, she might as well have been saying "Call the sitter, honey. We're going to be out a little late." Indeed, despite the high stakes, this latest addition to the "lost in space" canon is a joyous testament to the power of human optimism and intelligence.
But let's back up a bit. At this turning point in the film, Watney had already been on Mars for many days (or "sols" as they are known on Mars), after a storm left him stranded and presumed dead by his crew. With an unfavorable atmosphere and limited resources, his situation was dire to say the least. But through perseverance and brain power - using his training in botany and other sciences - he managed to provide himself food, a habitable environment and establish communication with his people. In effect, creating life on Mars. Eventually, his efforts are detected by NASA, prompting a daring mission to bring him home.
It's been a good few years for the "space" genre, with the likes of "Gravity" and "Interstellar" taking us into the stratosphere exploring concepts both intimate and epic. And now with "The Martian", Ridley Scott and screenwriter Drew Goddard have taken the best aspects of those films - emotional catharsis and intellectual discourse - and distilled them into another thoroughly entertaining film.
On paper, "The Martian" wouldn't immediately appear to be riveting cinema, focusing on pure science and problem-solving above sentimentality and spectacle. But the film fully engages its audience through strong writing and compelling lead performance. Indeed, the beauty of the script is how it takes complex scientific concepts and makes them accessible. Unlike more ambitious sci-fi films, the clarity of Goddard's writing never makes it feel like a daunting science lesson.
Indeed, "The Martian" is consistently exciting and cinematic, and its greatest spectacle is Matt Damon's shining one-man show at the heart of the larger ensemble. As the character keeps himself occupied and entertained to maintain his sanity and hope, it's amusing to watch Damon's transition from momentary despair to eventual triumph.
Ultimately, it's this triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds which makes "The Martian" so satisfying. While recent space epics have left us in fear of that vast unknown in the sky, "The Martian" makes space exploration cool again. It leaves you in awe of what we are capable of as human beings. We can use our wit to save ourselves, our fellow man, and in the case of Ridley Scott, to revive a floundering film career.
And much like Johnny Depp in "Black Mass", the Academy will likely embrace Ridley Scott's return to form. "The Martian" is a crowdpleaser that sends you out feeling better about yourself, which will put it in a good position for a possible Best Picture nod, with Best Director to go along with it. I also expect some love for the Best Adapted Screenplay and of course, for Matt Damon's invaluable work as a Best Actor candidate. And though I suspect its visuals aren't striking enough to overcome the "been there, done that" sentiment for yet another space film, I think the sound design will be able to reap nods for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing. Of course, it will have to win over audiences first, but that seems like a near certainty. which I'm sure it will. As such, be sure to keep an eye on this one come January.

How to create new partition in hard disk in windows 8 / Windows 8.1?
Creating new partition in hard disk is a basic thing that every user generally does after purchasing new PC. If you want to create partition in your brand new Windows 8 PC, then follow this article.
To create a new partition, you must need to have some unallocated space or free space. You can shrink an existing partition to free some unallocated space. Before creating any new partition you must need to know some basic things. You can create maximum of 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition having any number of logical partitions in each hard disks. Generally all computers reserve a small Primary partition (100 – 200 MB) to store Reserved System Data, it is called System partition. So, you can create 3 more Primary partitions in each hard disk. Your computer may have more than one hard disk. Follow the steps below to create new partition in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.
1. Right-click on Computer icon and select Manage option.
2. Click on the Disk Management option.
3. Shrink any partition to create some Unallocated space.
4. After you get your desired amount of Unallocated space or Free Space, right-click on it and select New Simple Volume option.
5. In “New Simple Volume Wizard” click Next. Decide the size of your new partition and select “Next” again.
6. Now, assign a drive letter from drop-down list and select “Next”.
7. Next set a Volume label: and do not change any other settings there, just click Next. In next step press Finish to complete the process.
That’s it. You have successfully created a new Logical Partition in your Windows 8 / Windows 8.1.
Previous articleHow to enable Aero or Transparent glass taskbar in windows 8?
Next articleHow to install Windows 8 using USB flash drive?
my hassle is that out of the 450 GB space that’s on C, I’m able to shrink only to 228 GB … which means I need to have by default the balance in C ?
why am I not able to allocate 150 GB to C and the balance into other logical partitions, considering that I’ll not be storing any datafiles in C drive ?
Hi, Murali.. it is happening because.. file fragment in C: drive are not stored in contiguous way. They are spread up to that 228 GB space (empty space coming between the fragments). So you are not able to shrink it beyond that limit.
So, Defrag your C: drive.. it will solve the problem.
i am facing a problem in creating a partition of hard disk, as i have already 3 partitions but i want to create another partition from the hard disk.whether it is possible to create hard disk partition or not ?
On a disk (eg. disk0 ), you can create at max 4 Primary partitions. Among them one is System Partition ( 200 MB ) you can’t see it in “My Computer”. It may be visible from “Disk Management”. Now, you are telling that you have already created 3 more partition. So you have reached the maximum limit of creating Primary Partitions (i.e, 4).
So you can convert any Primary Partition to a Logical Partition. Don’t convert System Partition or C: Drive. Try to convert any of other two Primary Partitions to Logical Partition. EASEUS Partition Manager can help you with that. Feel free to ask for any further help.

We can hardly imagine life without the internet as a search tool: whether at school, at work or for recreation. If it were a library, the internet would be the largest library in the world – with millions of shelves stacked with endless amounts of books, texts, CDs and films. And yet how can we get to grips with all of this if we want to learn something? How do we search for information when we want to know something and learn about it? What type of search process leads us to which goal? What action do we take when we want to find certain information on a particular topic, and what significance does information search have when learning? Search engines, link lists, wikis and video portal all offer search assistance.
In recent years, this field of research has become highly popular under the heading “search as learning” (SAL). The interdisciplinary research project “SALIENT: Search as Learning – Investigating, Enhancing, and Predicting Learning during Multimodal (Web) Search” will enable the cooperative partners from the areas of computer science (Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology in Hannover and L3S Research Centre) and psychology (Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM)) to explore in the future the factors that make such search processes work and develop recommender systems that recommend additional learning content to users that may be appropriate for them.
The research project seeks to determine how multimedia online resources, such as texts, images and videos, are used to meet information needs. One example is the use of web documents retrievable via web search engines when tackling learning tasks.
Acting on the recommendation of the “Senate's Competition Committee (SAW)”, the Leibniz Association Senate approved the SALIENT research project under the “Leibniz – Collaborative Excellence” funding line at the end of November 2017 with a €961,000 grant. The aim of the funding programme is promote the collaborative networking of excellent research at different institutes – within and outside of the Leibniz Association. Besides the lead applicant – Hannover’s TIB, represented by Professor Dr. Ralph Ewerth and Professor Dr. Sören Auer – the project also involves L3S Research Centre at Leibniz Universität Hannover (Dr. Stefan Dietze and Professor Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl) and Tübingen’s Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM) with its Knowledge Construction Lab (Dr. Peter Holtz and Professor Dr. Ulrike Cress) and Multimodal Interaction Lab (Dr. Yvonne Kammerer and Professor Dr. Peter Gerjets). “In addition, the project is one of the first collaborative projects undertaken by TIB and L3S in the context of the “Data Science and Open Knowledge” joint lab of TIB and Leibniz Universität Hannover, established this summer to deepen the cooperation,” emphasise Professor Dr. Sören Auer, Director of TIB, and L3S’s Professor Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl.
IWM’s Dr. Peter Holtz and L3S’s Dr. Stefan Dietze are particularly delighted about the possibility of continuing beyond 2018 the initial successful cooperation in exploring complex learning and knowledge construction processes on the web, which is currently being undertaken under the EU project “AFEL – Analytics for Everyday Learning”. “The insight gained by combining the different forms of expertise is greater than the sum of insights produced by each individual project partner,” stated Holtz. In the SALIENT project, the L3S team, led by Dr. Stefan Dietze, will build on interdisciplinary work currently being undertaken in the area of Learning Analytics (for example, in AFEL) and will involve the results of other priority initiatives in the context of Digital Education.
The research project, which is set to start in 2018, will be funded for a period of three years.

Oxfam GB’s Head of Publishing, Emily Gillingham, explains why and how we developed a free, online course for changemakers, and what the early results show.
“I’m hoping this course will help me focus my objectives a bit more and discover what small but important steps I can take towards promoting change, changing minds and minding our community.” This comment from one of our learners sums up why we developed the Make Change Happen course.
“Inspiring, provocative, with hands-on activities that really help put together projects and actions to implement change.” And this comment, posted at the end of the course, gives us hope that we managed to deliver something that will help grassroots activists and community organisers to change the status quo.
Seeing how power works, what the context is, where the levers of change are, and involving others are all key ingredients to achieving meaningful sustainable social and political change.
Sharpening awareness of how to influence change and increasing knowledge of our own assumptions and unconscious biases, while being adaptive and curious about where the possibilities for change lie, can all have a major impact on our confidence and effectiveness as changemakers.
Many activists already know this, and Oxfam runs skills-based workshops with changemakers and civil society organisations around the world to teach it. We also present this learning through influencing guides on our Policy & Practice website, and the Influencing series on this blog.
We wanted to find an effective alternative way to share our learning with people anywhere in the world, so that they could directly apply it the changes in their communities and contexts. And we wanted to provide a space for people to connect and learn from each other’s experience – to deliver an experience of ‘collective action’ in practice. So, the idea to develop a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) took root.
Make Change Happen is that MOOC and opened as a free, online course in October 2018. At 8 January 2019, 4716 people have enrolled from 156 countries. The UK, India, Spain, the US, and Australia are the top 5 countries while Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, Brazil, Vietnam and South Africa are also in the top 20 by registrations. 2825 people have started the course so far, and 873 have taken part in the online discussion forums.
People have shared their aspirations for change, their challenges, what inspires them, self-awareness, and what they have found useful along the way.
These have been rich with shared experience and insight, outshining the learning content provided. People have shared their aspirations for change, their challenges, what inspires them, self-awareness, and what they have found useful along the way. They have also shared their plans for change; ambitious, heartening, and positive proposals for tackling a wide range of important issues.
We set up a core content team and a broader Reference Group to gather input from across the organisation and beyond at critical points in the course’s development. They provided case studies to illustrate the different ideas and connected us with changemakers who could share their stories. Including the voices of those working now on social, political and environmental issues from different kinds of organisations in different contexts we felt was critical to support the learning.
One of the first things we did was to establish who the course was for and for what purpose. We settled on three target ‘personas’, including a community organiser, a rural NGO programme manager, and a curious digital activist. We referred back to what their needs and goals might be throughout the development to ensure the content was at the right level. Our evaluation plan will help to tell us whether we pitched it right for that audience and what changes we should make for the next run.
We also had valuable conversations with others who have developed MOOCs in similar fields, such as the University of Cape Town’s Becoming a Changemaker, Amnesty International’s courses in human rights, the World Bank’s Citizen Engagement course, INASP’s courses for researchers, and the team behind the University of Oxford’s From Poverty to Prosperity. We are grateful to all the colleagues and partners who contributed their ideas and experience to the project.
Early on we recognised that we would need a partner organisation who could provide deep expertise in distance learning and help us to turn content ideas into an actual course. Open University provided this, supporting us with drafting the initial outline, creating videos and animations, and building quizzes and interactive elements. They also brokered our partnership with Futurelearn, a top MOOC platform with a strong focus on ‘social learning’ that supports peer to peer discussion.
The process of developing the course has been a real learning experience, sharpening our own thinking on change and how to effectively drive it.
The first run of Make Change Happen will close towards the end of December although those who upgrade can gain ongoing access to the content and discussions. We will soon have a good idea of how many learners completed the course and what their feedback is. We also invited around 30 individuals to act as ‘critical friends’, giving us specific areas for improvement.
In January, we will work with OU and Futurelearn to make changes to the course. For example, we already plan to combine some of the steps, and remove some of the jargon that managed to sneak in! We will reopen it in March 2019, and again in June. After that, we will re-evaluate the project before committing to future runs.
Time will tell what the real impact will be on the skills and confidence of changemakers around the world. We intend to follow up with those who opt in to hear how their learning has impacted their approach to change processes. Our ultimate hope is that the learning journey provided here gives power to people addressing unfair, inequitable economic, social, political and environmental situations wherever they are. It is a contribution to the change that we wish to see in the world.
We are very grateful to all the learners in the course who have engaged so positively and with such passion to the discussions and given us feedback along the way. We wish everyone the very best of luck on their change journeys! To stay in touch, please join Oxfam’s changemaker community or follow our Influencing blog series.

In a conversation on Twitter last night a good friend Stefan Lubinski suggested that everything these days is marketing. I disagree – and here’s why.
There are more platforms than ever before on which to communicate to large groups of people – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, WordPress, Blogger, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, Snapchat, Meerkat, Periscope, Google Plus, Google Hangouts, Email, SMS, WhatsApp… to name but a few. There are more online publications than ever before – on any topic you can think of. There are more people using them to publicize products, services, opinions, content – you name it. But that’s NOT marketing.
At best, the majority of it is publicity; at worst it is just noise. Like somebody with a megaphone stood shouting at people in the digital street.
Some are shouting orders: ‘Do this!’, ‘Click here!’, ‘Buy this!’, ‘Read that!’.
Very little of it could be described as marketing!
Marketing is about getting people to take a specific action – because they want to. This requires them to understand what they are being asked to do and do it willingly in order to support you or your organization. The action needs to be specific and clearly defined. It should, also, have a defined commercial value.
No matter how much you urge somebody to do something; no matter how loud you shout or how often, if they don’t want to do it all you do is lose your voice.
I wrote a few months ago that most PR and marketing is publicity that explains more.
Why is public relations so expensive?
Why is public relations so expensive? Because you continue to pay the ridiculous monthly retainer fees that firms charge. Without question. You don’t even expect them to quantify the return you will receive on the investment they are asking you to make. The reason public relations is so expensive is your fault.
The first question that any PR company asks when you enquire about working with them is ‘what’s your budget?’ And you tell them. At least, you tell them the number you think is the going rate for the cookie-cutter PR ‘strategies’ most sell comprising a standard set of activities and, let’s be honest, very little strategic input. It’s like playing poker where you show all of the other players your cards – and then wonder why you always end up losing your shirt.
Start being more specific in what you need.
You don’t need media pitching. You DEFINITELY don’t need somebody else doing it on your behalf. Focus on specific short-term outcomes that will help you achieve your big hairy business goals – and have a PR company tell you how they are going to help you achieve them. Then ask them to put a price on their part in that process.
Whether it’s milestones towards your ultimate goals or stepping-stones to building a relationship with key people, start focusing on specifics. Most PR firms justify their activity on the basis that they’re trying to deliver awareness. Most of the activity is wasted [at your expense] because they’re targeting the wrong people. More focus means less waste. Let waste means lower investments.
Stop telling PR firms what your budget is.
It’s the fastest way to have them spend every single cent – and more often than not, it’s not necessary. More often than not your budget is really what you think the going rate is – but there is no ‘going rate’. You can’t put a price on activity – only on advice and outcomes that deliver value.
Only you have the power to change the price of PR retainers, by voting with your money. If you refuse to buy in the way that most PR firms sell then they’ll have to change. But, while you continue to play their game – a game they’ve loaded to ensure they always win, PR will continue to cost thousands of dollars every month and continue to deliver little value for your investment.
Stop Creating Content. Start Building Relationships.
What if you stopped creating content to post on every social network and publishing platform and focused instead on building relationships? Think about it. How much time, money and energy are you wasting by creating content in the name of marketing that has no noticeable impact on your business?
Sure, you might get a few people sharing a post; you might feel good that somebody liked what you wrote; but what’s the tangible value from spending hours every week creating content? Don’t know? Don’t want to know?! If you’re doing it because your ‘PR’ or ‘marketing’ company told you to there’s a pretty good chance the only winner in the process is them!
What if you stopped creating content and, instead, focused on building and maintaining relationships with the people who matter most to the success of your business? What if, rather than creating a piece of content you picked up the phone and talked with somebody? A potential investor; a prospective customer; a journalist; a former customer that just became an ex-customer.
What if, rather than trying to sell them something you asked questions? What if you tried to gather insight, rather than convincing them you’re the Uber of X or that you have a unique, innovative whatever that they simply must buy? What if you spent the money you’re wasting creating content that nobody reads; nobody cares about; and invested it in the relationships that matter most to the success of your business?
How to tell the difference between a PR company and a publicity firm.
Most PR companies are in the publicity game. Here’s how to tell the difference.
1. A publicity company offers media pitching as their primary service. A PR firm helps you build relationships with key people.
2 Publicity firms think content marketing or social media are the future of public relations. A PR company thinks that building and maintaining relationships is the future of public relations.
3. A publicity company has no idea what the other 3Ps are. A PR company understands the role of promotion and the importance of relationships in the process.
4. A publicity company has a picture of a megaphone on their website. A PR company doesn’t.
5. A publicity company sells on the back of their journalist relationships. A PR company will help you build relationships with journalists and anybody else that is important to the success of your business.
6. A publicity firm talks about engagement but can’t explain what it is or how it will benefit your business. A PR company can explain the value of you having relationships with the right people.
7. A publicity company can’t actually tell you what the return on your investment in PR will be over and above ‘awareness’. Awareness is an outcome of publicity. A PR company can.

1. While driving to conduct an off-campus training course, my car had a flat tire. I called AAA for assistance, but encountered a charge for their service. Can I submit that cost for reimbursement since I was on university business?
No. The university does not directly reimburse for personal vehicle maintenance or repairs. The cost of personal vehicle maintenance and repairs are a component of the mileage reimbursement. Accordingly, employees must personally pay for the costs such as roadside assistance and tire repairs when driving their personal vehicle on university business.
2. I was asked to attend an out of town conference and place the cost of my hotel and gas on my personal credit card. I do not have a credit card, nor do I wish to obtain one. Can my department force me to obtain a credit card?
No. The university cannot force an employee to obtain a credit card through the State of Texas Travel Charge Card Program or any other means.
Travelers may pay for the travel charges personally and seek reimbursement, or they may use other available payment options offered by the university. Company billed options exist for air and rental vehicle. In some cases, company billed options are available for lodging. Employees should contact their department's Travel Assistant for assistance determining available company billed options.
3. If I use the toll road while driving to an out of town conference, will I be reimbursed for the cost of the toll?
Yes. The university does reimburse for toll charges. The employee may use the MapQuest chart for mileage and tolls to Austin or San Antonio to see the cost for reimbursement (mileage and tolls), the TxTag Toll Calculator, or the actual toll charges once the bill has been received.

Florida’s children are our state’s most valuable resource; we must do everything we can to ensure a bright, healthy and successful future for them. Unfortunately, our children are at risk of losing essential programs that protect their health and help them succeed in school and beyond.
It is vitally important that the Florida Legislature continue to fund important prevention initiatives like Healthy Start, the Florida Infants and Toddlers Early Intervention Program, child care and early education programs, as well as programs that prevent child abuse and neglect.
We know these programs save money because the results are healthier children, better students, more productive workers and responsible citizens.
Each of us work hard every day in our communities on behalf of children, but during the week of March 18, 2001, I will join thousands of advocates at the State Capitol to speak with one voice in support of our children.
In this past year’s election, many people told us they support children’s issues. Now is the time for them to stand up for our kids. We know state budget shortfalls may cut deeply into these important programs.
Please call or write your elected officials and ask them to support Florida’s children. Ask them to ensure that the future of our children remains bright.

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton said his mistake on the Sochi circuit cost him time, but he praised Bottas for doing a better job as the Finn grabbed only his second pole of the season.
Sochi: Lewis Hamilton admitted he "over-egged" his final lap in Saturday's qualifying for the Russian Grand Prix as he tried to find the pace to beat Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas. The championship leader said his mistake on the Sochi circuit cost him time, but he praised Bottas for doing a better job as the Finn grabbed only his second pole of the season. "Big congratulations to Valtteri," said the defending four-time champion, who leads nearest rival Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari by 40 points in the title race. "He's been driving very well all weekend and did the better job."
Hamilton conceded that his last two laps "were not special at all", but added: "You can't always get it right and at least we are still in the fight tomorrow." He said he had been struggling in the middle of the lap. "I knew I had to push a lot because I knew that (Bottas) would gain time so I needed about half a second and I just over-egged it a bit. "I picked up some dirt on my outside tyres and there was less grip."
The Briton said he expected the start to be "an interesting one" with Vettel attempting to make the most of a slip-streaming opportunity behind him from third on the grid. "But after that, it's about strategy really, which we're all pretty much the same on... we'll just give it everything we've got." A bullish Vettel said he retained hopes of winning despite qualifying a distant third.
The four-time world champion insisted that Bottas's half-second advantage in qualifying did not give a true reflection of Ferrari's race pace. He also reminded the Finn of how last year's contest in Russia had unfolded when Vettel was on pole, but Bottas burst into the lead from third on the grid at the start. "I just spoke to Valtteri and reminded him what happened last year, so maybe we can turn it around," said Vettel. "It would be nice, but it depends on the start, the initial jump and then you know where you are."
Vettel said it was "important to get as close as possible to them and then we'll see, but it's true they've been very quick -- so we'll see tomorrow. "I think it should have been a bit closer, the gap, but we didn't have enough to be a threat." Vettel was half a second off Bottas's pace and four-tenths behind second-placed Hamilton. "I am pretty happy with the car and it's not like there is a big issue with car balance," added Vettel. "I think we reached our full potential today."

text: The Double Hot Curl is where the Hot Curl transforms from a traditional displacement hull into a futuristic planing hull. Think of it as Hot Curl meets Fish! This board is designed with two "Hot Curl" tails that breathe freely and allow the water to flow over them and create hold. The Double Hot Curl is a finless board designed NOT to slide. The tail does a good job of holding the board nice and true on the takeoff. This board is designed for the rider to surf with an upright posture and to engage the rails by leaning into turns more like a regular finned board. This style of finless board is a pure joy to surf both forehand and back hand. It flows with a finless friction free feel while staying completely engaged in the wave face. Long live the Hot Curl!

Imagine stepping out into the warm morning sunshine, pouring yourself a cup of crisp, locally grown coffee, and sitting back to take in the splendour of a lush rainforest cascading down through a mountain valley below. Swarms of brightly coloured hummingbirds, honeycreepers and bananaquits flit around just metres away, while raucous parrots and maybe even a toucan say “good morning” from nearby treetops. The incredible “gong” of an enigmatic bellbird rings up through the forest.
This was the scene that greeted 11 birders (led by Jared Clarke & Ernesto Carman) as we began our Trinidad & Tobago birding tour this past December. This beautiful destination provides a wonderful introduction to the birds of South America, perhaps the most diverse and exciting birdlife on earth. The tour is also a relatively relaxing one, since we stay at just two locations the entire time – including the famous Asa Wright Nature Centre, with the amazing verandah described above. Our excursions consist of world class birding opportunities, like the unforgettable Scarlet Ibis roost in the Caroni Swamp, the Oilbirds at Dunstan Cave, hundreds of nesting Red-billed Tropicbirds on Little Tobago Island and the amazing Main Ridge Forest Reserve (the world’s oldest protected area).
The list of highlights for 2017 was a long one and included amazing views and photo opportunities of 14 species of hummingbird – including the highly prized Tufted Coquette and Ruby-topaz Hummingbird. We also enjoyed great views of Channel-billed Toucan, encounters with the endemic Trinidad Motmot and Trinidad Piping Guan, lots of other wildlife and of course those Scarlet Ibis, Oilbirds and Red-billed Tropicbirds.
A small sample of photo highlights are included below (photos by Jared Clarke). As always, the tour was a resounding success and enjoyed by all. Be sure to check out details for upcoming tours to Trinidad & Tobago (Trinidad-Tobago-Birding-Tour).
Asa Wright Nature Centre offers some of the best opportunities to see the often-elusive Tufted Coquette – a tiny yet beautiful hummingbird of northeastern South America. A combination of carefully planted gardens and well-placed feeders allows guests to get up-close and personal with a great variety of hummingbirds and other colourful species.
The large estate, lush forests and many walking trails of Asa Wright Nature Centre also allow guests to explore and find plenty of other exciting birds – from tiny manakins to soaring raptors. One of our many highlights was this unusually cooperative Bearded Bellbird – considered the loudest bird on earth. Its deafening call can be heard for miles, and was absolutely astounding at this range!
The Asa Wright property is also home to the one of the world’s most accessible Oilbird colonies. These unique birds are the world’s only nocturnal fruit-eating bird – roosting in dark caves by day, and using echo-location to navigate and find food only under cover of darkness. Our visit to see these birds is always a highlight, and certainly one of the most surreal experiences you’ll ever have in nature.
While this trip is definitely planned around birds & birding, we also take time to find, learn about and enjoy lots of other wildlife and aspects of nature. This tiny Trinidad Stream Frog lives only here on the island – one of two endemic frog species we encountered while birding at Asa Wright Nature Centre.
Our group enjoyed numerous day trips and excursions to various habitats on Trinidad. One of the most exciting trips took us into the higher elevation rain forests of the Northern Range mountains, where we encountered a great variety of birds and amazing scenery. This Guianan Trogon came out to greet us on the drive back, sitting right over the road for us all to enjoy.
Owls are a highlight of any birding trip, and this Ferruginous Pygmy Owl was no exception. We found it sitting calmly in the middle of a frenzy of songbirds, all of which were frantically trying to drive it away.
Other excursions took us back down the mountains into lowland habitats, including mangroves, savannah and agricultural areas. The variety of birds and other wildlife here was very different, yet equally rich and amazing. This Savannah Hawk was drying its wings after a heavy rain shower (we actually encountered very little rain during our trip – another reason the tour is scheduled for this wonderful time of year).
One of our group’s favourite birds to see and watch was the beautiful Rufous-tailed Jacamar – of which we found several. This one was very obliging as a small group of us strolled through a wooded garden, even flying towards us and landing quite close.
A huge highlight of our time on Trinidad was a visit to Caroni Swamp. A relaxed, bird-filled cruise through the mangroves was capped off with the spectacle of thousands of brilliant Scarlet Ibis (along with several species of herons) coming in to roost. Guests always count this among the most amazing experiences of their birding lives, and with very good reason!
The Trinidad Motmot is one of two endemic birds in this island nation, and we enjoyed amazing views of several throughout the tour. This one was especially cooperative during our first day on Tobago, where they tend to be less shy.
The Ruby-topaz is considered among the most beautiful of all the hummingbirds. We were fortunate to see a dozen of these brilliant birds at three locations, including some incredible views like this one on Trinidad.
While on Tobago, we spent a morning exploring the beautiful Main Ridge Forest Reserve. This large reserve was first proclaimed in 1776, making it the oldest protected area in the world – and the numerous hiking trails makes this tract of pristine, native rain forest very accessible. One of our targets here was the Blue-backed Manakin (absent on Trinidad), like this male that showed surprisingly well in a fruiting fig tree.
No visit to Trinidad & Tobago is complete without a visit to the spectacular seabird colony on Little Tobago. This small island, just off the northeast coast of Tobago, is home to hundreds of Red-billed Tropicbird, Brown Boobies and Red-footed Boobies – among other great birds. Our clifftop vista found us overlooking the colony, dozens of soaring birds and the sparkling blue water below. What a fantastic way to end a wonderful adventure!

The Tax Commission on Tuesday, Jan. 16, voted unanimously to approve the regulations that will govern both the medical and recreational marijuana industry in Nevada.
The vote came after more than three hours of a final hearing on the regulations that frankly resemble a small phone book. They span more than 250 pages and contain 246 Sections detailing the rules.
Taxation Director Deonne Contine told the commission there have been some 60 meetings over the past year and more than eight workshops.
The rules not only lay out full licensing procedures for cultivators, producers, testing labs and dispensaries but penalties for violating any of them. They get down into labeling requirements for pot products as well as safe food handling requirements for pot producers.
Extensive rules mandate all pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals used at every stage from the grower through the retailer be disclosed. They detail inventory controls, security and confidentiality for customers, cardholders and patients.
Some of the testimony on the final day attempted to open the doors wider for companies wanting to transport marijuana from retailers to customers and seeking more dispensary licenses in certain areas.
But those issues are all contained in the Question 2 language voters approved in November 2016. Under Nevada’s Constitution, the ballot language can’t be amended for three years after voter approval so those issues are etched in stone for another two years.
The regulations now go to the Legislative Commission for final approval.

Welcome to my new website! I am so excited to introduce my new digital homestead.
After renovating my old site by myself (may it rest in peace), I just wasn’t happy with how it came out. Turns out the Home Depot approach isn’t always the best when it comes to your website. I’m a pretty smart cookie, but my expertise certainly does not lie in web design.
On one of my late night Pinterest wanderings, I stumbled upon a website designed by White Oak Creative. I then proceeded to visit the White Oak site almost daily for several months. Everything was so sleek and clean and… everything that my previous site was not.
I realized that if I was going to have a website, it needed to be one I was proud of.
When Lindsay announced she was booking clients for 2016 back in January, I jumped on the opportunity. Lindsay was a dream to work with and I now have a site that I’m in love with that can do all of the things I need it to do.
The moodboard Lindsay created for jessicaerinmartin.com, featuring blush pink and soft textures.
Also, I’m starting up the blog again.
Four years ago I challenged myself to write a blog post every week. It was something I really came to enjoy, but after the 52 weeks were up I stopped posting as much, and then not at all. When reflecting upon all the things that bring me joy, I realized that I needed to recommit to the blog.
So, dear reader, every Wednesday I will post here on the blog. The posts will revolve around advice for actors and filmmakers, as well as updates on my own projects. I hope to bring value to other artists, and hopefully save you some of the legwork that I’ve already done. There will be resource guides and challenges (if you choose to accept them). The blog archives are also here for you to explore.
Please check out the new video gallery where you can find clips, shorts, and reels. The photo gallery where you can find Screen Icons, collaborations with Dawndra Budd, theatre stills, and more. And there’s now a Shop, where you can currently find audiobooks which I have narrated or produced, as well as my top book referrals for artists. Stay tuned, as there will be more items coming to the Shop in the next few months.
This is my new online home and I hope you will leave here entertained, informed, and delighted.
Thank you for coming, and ya’ll come back now.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Ryk E. Spoor became a fan early; he discovered the Oz books by L. Frank Baum by the age of seven, and these were some of his first inspirations (leading years later to his self-published novel Polychrome). A teacher handed him Second Stage Lensmen when he was 11; this encounter with epic space opera set him irrevocably on the path to SF geekdom. In 1976 he logged onto his first computer and invented the online nickname "Sea Wasp" in 1977, the same year he discovered roleplaying games in the form of Dungeons and Dragons; the two passions eventually led in roundabout fashion to his meeting Kathleen Moffre; they married in 1995.
While science fiction and fantasy remained his passion, Ryk Spoor did attend colleges where he picked up an A.S. in Mathematics and Science, a B.A. in Psychology, and an M.S. in Information Science. Today he works as Research and Development Coordinator for a small high-tech firm, and is listed as inventor on eleven patents.
A Usenet flamewar led to the publication of his first novel, Digital Knight, by Baen Books, and he now has a total of 15 published novels, the most recent being Challenges of the Deeps, the third Arenaverse novel. Ryk lives in Troy, NY, with his wife Kathleen, four children, one poodle, and too many chickens.

Easter became a festival of apology across the Christian world Sunday as church leaders issued mea culpas for grievous sins committed against children and God, The London Times reported.
The pope was one of the few who failed to refer at all to the crisis that is tarnishing the image of the Church worldwide -- and that has even embroiled the leader of the Anglican Communion, Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.
In Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, acknowledged his own role in putting the reputation of the Church before justice for abused children, apologizing "with all my heart" but stopped short of the resignation that many believe is inevitable.
Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster and leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, admitted that "serious sins" had been committed within the Catholic community. Preaching at Westminster Cathedral, he said: "Talk of sin is not always popular -- unless we are talking about other people's sins. In recent weeks the serious sins committed within the Catholic community have been much talked about.
"For our part, we have been reflecting on them deeply, acknowledging our guilt and our need for forgiveness.
"This is the journey of Holy Week. Indeed, to appreciate the message of this great Christian feast we have to begin with our own sin and shame."
The sermons reflected one of the most dramatic Easters in living memory for Church leaders and the congregations, more used to listening to age-old and often anodyne messages from the pulpit about the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
At Canterbury Cathedral, Williams issued his own apology to the Catholic Church in Ireland for saying that it had lost "all credibility."
A statement released by the Archdiocese of Dublin last night said: "The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, this afternoon telephoned Archbishop Diarmuid Martin to express his deep sorrow and regret for difficulties which may have been created by remarks in a BBC interview concerning the credibility of the Catholic Church in Ireland.
"Archbishop Williams affirmed that nothing could have been farther from his intention than to offend or criticize the Irish Church." Archbishop Martin, the second most senior Catholic in Ireland, responded to a rare breach of ecumenical protocol by Williams in an interview with BBC Radio 4.

How long does my child need to be on the mission field? Will they be able to call me in a foreign country? Should I be supportive of them? How are my children going to raise enough funds to become the missionaries they want to be? Don’t they need to get married first? Are my grandchildren going to be safe?
Why does my child feel called to become a missionary and I don’t?
As parents, one of the hardest and best things you will ever do in your life is letting go and trusting God with your children. This blog post will address some frequently asked questions like these while also sharing advice and encouragement from parents who have had children go overseas as missionaries.
1. Is Everyone Called to Go Overseas as a Missionary?
Everyone is called to do missions–but not everyone is called to be a missionary overseas. Your child may be called to pursue other careers such as becoming a neurosurgeon, chiropractor, or a CEO of their own company. If everybody went overseas, there would be no one to send them. Recognize your child’s passions by encouraging them in their dreams and being supportive. Find books, resources, and people who are Godly examples of what it means to live and work for God’s glory in those fields. Seek to teach your children how to listen to the Holy Spirit and obey the Lord’s calling on their lives. If you encourage your kids to be delight-directed in their passions and dreams while also supporting them through their failures and mistakes, they are going to be well rounded in every area of life.
2. Can My Student Get a Job and Earn Money With a Missionary Degree?
Nearly all employers today are looking for someone who has a college degree and experience in the field they are going into. While not all missionary degrees or service related jobs can effectively support your student’s work as a missionary, college degrees are a gateway for your student to get into countries that aren’t openly receptive to missionaries. Your student can make a long-term impact by going as an English teacher or starting their own business in another country.
Encourage your student to be purposeful in getting a job that they enjoy doing. Going into another country with a skill or college degree can build bridges across cultural barriers and will give them the possibility to disciple locals through their work. Not only will they get to do a job that they love, but they’ll be able to share the gospel with those they work with. Others use their missionary degree to serve people while using a portion of their funds to support organizations all over the world. Whether your child gets a missionary degree or not, they can bring the gospel to where it is not through a variety of jobs and businesses all over the world.
3. Why Should I Encourage My Children to Pursue a Career in Missions?
– Carol Freeman, BGU Campus Pastor, wife, and mom of five children with fifteen years of cross-cultural missions experience.
Encouraging your children to go into missions provides them an opportunity to ask the question, “how can I share God’s love to the lost people in my own city before I go overseas?” Missions doesn’t always mean that each of your children needs to go overseas. You can encourage your children to pursue a career in missions by shaping their perspective into a mission-mindset through serving. How you raise your kids now is going to make a lasting impact on their lives in years to come.
Parents, the best gift you can give to your children is your love and encouragement in missions. This an amazing opportunity for them to serve with a purpose, and to show the hungry and hopeless how valued they are in the eyes of God. You can give your children the experience of a lifetime by encouraging them to start serving now.
When you encourage your children to serve with a purpose, you are nurturing their hearts to become more compassionate and tender towards those who are in need of having God as their personal Lord and Savior. You may or may not be raising up future missionaries or Billy Grahams–but more importantly, you are encouraging them to live a purpose-driven life where their passion is to see people changed by their time seeking after the Lord.
4. How is My Child Going to Support Themselves and Their Future Family?
Many missionaries have been raising support from families and friends for centuries. While fundraising could enable your child to be effective in their work overseas long-term, there have been many missionaries who have had to come off of the field because they didn’t receive enough support. While fundraising works, there are many other ways for your child to save money and support their family on the mission field.
God has called each of us to be good stewards of the money and wealth that He’s given to us. By teaching your children how to be mission-minded and to live simply, you are not only challenging the way they view the world and money, but you are waging war against the standards of living the American dream.
5. Is Missionary Work Safe?
There are a variety of places around the world that are in need of missionaries that are relatively safe, but there are also many more that are less safe than life in a western world. Both desperately need messengers to bring the good news to them. At Bethany Global University, we take great precautions to evaluate the safety of every Global Internship site for our students. Each site carries different risks and it is our hope that many would some day take the Church to the hardest and darkest places that have had no chance to learn of Christ. Ultimately, the safest place is to stay in the center of God’s will, wherever that may lead us.
While He is the only one who can keep them safe, you can still teach your children how to take precautions and make wise decisions while being self-aware of the dangers of living in a foreign country.
– Scarlett Von Gunten, wife, entrepreneur, and mom of seven–including me.
6. Can I Trust God With My Children?
Parents, the Lord has placed a strong calling on your life to trust Him with your children. While the Lord has also given you the responsibility of raising, loving, training, disciplining, and watching out for the safety of your children, you can’t always live in the fear of the unknown. It’s better to trust Him with your children than it is yourself.
Ask yourself, “Is this what the Lord has for them? Is this going to prepare them to go do what He has called them to do?” You’re not alone in your questions. Ask God to help you trust Him. If you’re unwilling to embrace the change, you won’t have the privilege of seeing the fruit He produces in your children’s lives. Only He can change your anxious and worrying heart–if you’re willing to let go and trust Him. He will patiently and lovingly listen to your fears while bringing that insurmountable peace to your heart. Let go and rely on Him for strength, trusting that He is with each of your children always, even when you can’t.
7. Will I See My Grandchildren Again? Will They Know Me?
Your children may one day get married and have children of their own on the mission field. Once in a while, they’ll come home on furlough and stay with you because they have nowhere else to go. You may be seeing a lot more of your family than you thought. Though this is not always the case, as many missionaries rent a house instead or stay with the missions organization that sent them onto the field.
However, this is the perfect opportunity to spend time with your grandchildren and let your child and their spouse rest. Teach your grandchildren how to go fishing, or play a board game, or how to cook and bake. Treasure these moments and make new memories with them because the next time you blink, they’ll be having families of their own. Trusting God with your children and grandchildren can give Him glory and He is then able to use their stories to impact lives for the furthering of His Kingdom.
One of the best gifts God has given to me is my parents; the best gift I can give them is to be obedient to the Lord and to pursue His calling on my life. Even as a young adult, God has placed a strong calling on my life to honor and respect my parents even when they aren’t in the room. I am so grateful for their love and encouragement and for how God has been working in their hearts over the past twenty-one years to trust Him with me. They have never hindered me from following God’s calling on my life and instead have always given me wise advice that is precious and close to my heart. I am so thankful for the way they’ve raised me, and one of the ways I can honor them is to listen to their wisdom from their time seeking after the Lord and living it out in my own life as I also devote myself to Him.
God has richly blessed me by giving me supportive parents, and He can use you in this way as well to be a blessing your children. I am praying that as you and your spouse raise up your kids to follow Christ that one day they will look back and see that because of your commitment to the Lord in those small moments, your family has been able to stick together through the joyful seasons and the hard seasons. That no matter what the day brought, you fell on your knees to cry out to the Lord and praise Him for His faithfulness while thanking Him for the family He gave you.
I am praying that one day, they are going to look back and remember you praying over them every night, that you were the one who taught them about the different countries on the map. That you were the one who bought the books on missionaries and found mission conferences to go to. That one day, they’ll look back and see that you are their Godly example of what it looks like to daily practice following God’s will in every area of their life.
You are the difference you want to see in your children’s lives. You are the legacy-builders, the world-shapers, the dreamers, and the life-givers. By trusting the Lord with your children and being supportive of their passions and dreams, you have the honor of watching God move in your children’s lives to impact the world for His Kingdom.

"Initial reports indicate that three coalition soldiers were wounded in the incident," Lieutenant-Colonel Jerry O'Hara, a spokesman based in Kabul with the US-led coalition force said on Sunday.
Witnesses said they saw four soldiers being carried away in stretchers.
O'Hara said the explosion was caused by a roadside bomb, but police said it was a suicide attack and witnesses described how a Toyota saloon rammed into a Canadian vehicle at a crossroads.
Doctor Abdul Qaoum, at Kandahar's main hospital, said at least two civilians were killed and nine others wounded.
Qari Mohammad Yusuf, a Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility.
"This attack is part of our jihad and we plan to carry out more such attacks," Yusuf told Reuters by satellite telephone from an undisclosed location.
Coalition troops cordoned off the site.
Taliban fighters have launched several suicide attacks, mainly targeting US-led troops and NATO peacekeepers during the past few months, but they have not caused major casualties.

PATIENTS WILL GET more choice over which GP treats their family following agreement between the Government and British Medical Association over changes to the GP contract for next year.
The new deal will see three major pilots launched across England from April 2012 that will allow patients to register at practices away from where they live, such as near to where they work or close to a relative they care for or even close to a child’s school. It will also mean that patients may not be forced to change GP surgery if they move locally. This, says the Government, will save up to three million people who move locally every year the inconvenience of re-registering as they can remain with the practice of their choice.
Seventy-five percent of patients who responded to a recent consultation on GP choice made it clear that they wanted greater ability to register with a practice of their choice. The settlement provides the opportunity to fully test and evaluate the impact of increasing choice in pilot areas and will inform proposals before wider implementation is considered.
The contract agreement aims to promote better working practices between GPs and A&E departments. GPs are to work in groups to review the patterns of A&E attendances and find ways of improving the quality and accessibility of the care they provide so that patients avoid unnecessary A&E attendances. The scheme focus in particular on quality of care for older patients with complex health needs at high risk of admission, children with minor illness or injury and patients who frequently re-attend A&E.
Subject to the Health and Social Care Bill, it will be a contractual duty for GP practices to be members of a clinical commissioning group (CCG). This provides clarity to GP practices over their contractual responsibilities and is an important step forward in the process of NHS modernisation.

The Library of Congress launched By the People (crowd.loc.gov) in the autumn of 2018. The application invites you to transcribe, review, and tag digitized images of manuscripts and typed materials from the Library’s collections. Everyone is welcome to take part! You don't even need to create an account, but if you do you'll have access to additional features such as tagging, and reviewing other people's transcriptions. All transcriptions are made and reviewed by volunteers before they are returned to loc.gov, the Library's website. These transcriptions will improve search, readability, and access to handwritten and typed documents for those who are not fully sighted or cannot read the handwriting of the original documents. Check out the FAQs in our Help Center for more detailed information.
The name By the People was announced November 19, 2018 at our very first transcribe-a-thon and on the 155th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. The phrase comes from the closing line of that speech, which states “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us… that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." The name was chosen to reflect the spirit of democracy in this undertaking which asks you, the American people, to join us in making the Library of Congress accessible to all.
By the People runs on Concordia, new open source software developed by the Library of Congress to power crowdsourced transcription projects. The code is visible and free to reuse: visit our Github repository for more information. The platform was built utilizing user-centered design principles based around building trust and approachability. This project is a partnership between the Library and a growing community of volunteers who help us to iteratively improve the platform. Everyone is welcome to take part in transcription and tagging and to give feedback about how we can improve the code base and the project itself. Be in touch!
This program is generously supported by the National Digital Library Trust Fund. This application is the result of collaboration between numerous divisions and teams at the Library of Congress.

Other than husbandese, I do not speak a foreign language.
I studied Latin, but that hardly counts. It’s not like French or Italian or Klingon or any of those languages in which you can carry on a decent conversation about who should quarterback the Cleveland Browns.
But the joke was on them. We absolutely DO use Latin every day. Words such as agenda, census, via, affidavit and vice versa all are full-on, good old-fashioned Latin.
So let’s turn Latin into a fully spoken language again. I’ll get us started with this primer of common Latin phrases.
Carpe noctem– My goldfish bumped into me.
Carpe diem — My goldfish died.
Per se — A Latin typo. It either means purse or peruse. The original meaning has been lost over the centuries.
Ad nauseam — What happens when the same commercial plays for the 37th time while you’re watching the football telecast.
E pluribus unum — Many buses came but the East Londoner, ‘e could only ride one, guv.
Veni, vidi, vici (pronounced “wenny, weedy, weechi”) — Willy Wonka’s cousin, who invented grass trimmers.
Sic semper tyrranis — My dinosaur is running a fever.
Pecunia nervus belli — Not knowing who sent the flowers tied my tummy in knots.
Et cetera — Brother of former Chicago lead singer Peter Cetera. Et is the guy who scheduled catering for the band.
Amor vincit omnia — Sir Vince performed yoga chants while wearing his knight garb.
Bona fide — Fido found the bone he buried.
Et tu, Brute? — You realize, don’t you, that it was uncouth to eat both pieces of pie, you cad?
Quid pro quo — If you’re only going to pay him one pound sterling, the speaker you hired isn’t going to finish the sentence. You just get half a quote.
