Redcliff Castle, an Iron Age cliff castle overlooks Bedruthan Steps near Padstow. Two ramparts, approximately two metres high guard the headland and have associated ditches. The castle area has been reduced over the years by erosion, its original size now unknown.
Only discovered in 2007, Restormel Roman Fort lies about a quarter of a mile southwest of Restormel Castle near Lostwithiel. The fort has the usual rectangular plan surrounded by a rampart and ditch. Artifacts discovered indicate that the fort was home to Legio II Augustus throughout the Roman occupation of Britain. It measures 77 metres by 64 metres.

Rillaton Round Barrow lies on Bodmin moor about half a mile northeast of the Hurlers Stone Circle at Minions. Situated on the crest of a slope, the barrow contained a stone cist with a skeleton inside along with a ceremonial dagger. It has achieved fame as the excellent Bronze Age Rillaton Gold Cup was found here in 1818. The barrow has an approximate diameter of 37 metres and stood 2.4 metres high. A copy of the Rillaton Gold Cup can be seen in the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro.

Just on the western flank of Rough Tor, near Camelford lies a large concentration of Bronze Age Round Houses. The settlement runs southwards from the car park for over half a mile (1km) and contains field boundaries, pounds and numerous roundhouses making up an extensive settlement. On average the roundhouses have a diameter of approximately 4 to 6 metres and several are relatively intact.
One of the most visited Iron Age Cliff Castles in Cornwall, the Rumps near Padstow has twin headlands resembling the tail of a fish reached via a narrow neck of land protected by three distinct ramparts. The structures are thought to have been built in two phases with the Castle occupied between 400BC and 100AD.
Situated atop Samson Hill on Bryher, a ruined chamber cairn lies surrounded by ten kerb stones. Nearby, on the southern slopes of the Hill lies Works Carn. An oval shaped chambered cairn built out from the side of Samson Hill. Utilising the rock outcrop, it is revetted with large orthostats. The chamber is made from slabs set on edge with additional walling.
Shipman Head lies on the nortern end of the Scillonian island of Bryher. Quite dramatic in its own right, the headland is made more interesting by the existence of the ramparts of an Iron Age Cliff Castle. The wall just under a metre high is in the region of 5 metres thick. To the south and east of the castle lie a large number of ancient cairns.
Situated about 400 metres northeast of the summit of Rough Tor, a natural formation of granite rocks is surrounded by a large man made ring of piled stones with a diameter of about 30 metres, standing almost 1.2 metres high.
South Hill Cairns lie on the southern end of the Scillonian island of Samson to the west of St. Mary's. The are four Entrance Graves situated on the ridge of the hill. They are aligned north-south.

St. Piran's Round lies beside the B3254 to the west of Goonhavern. Almost circular, the 45 metre diameter enclosure is bounded by a 2.5 metre high rampart with an external ditch 1.5 metres deep. The earthwork is thought to date from Iron Age times and has been used in modern times as a venue for the meeting of the bards at the Cornish Gorsedd as well as 'miracle plays.
A line of more than 90 Bronze Age barrows line the top of a ridge near St Breock Downs. Stretching for almost seven miles, the best example is located at grid reference SW971681.

St. Dennis Hill Fort surrounds St. Dennis church atop a conical hill near Indian Queens. Located just to the south of the A30 trunk road, its position effectively controls all the land north across Goss Moor to Castle an Dinas and indicates how the Iron Age people used high points in the landscape to control this ancient trade route through Cornwall. Circular in shape the twin ramparts are about 113 metres in diameter.
Otherwise known as the Brocagnus Stone, this 6th Century Inscribed Stone stands 1.5 metres tall at a cross roads of the B3314 roughly midway between St Endellion and Port Quin. The stone has recently been replaced here after spending many years at Doyden Point. The inscription reads BROCAGNI IHC IACIT NADOTTI FILIVS, which translates as 'Brocagnus lies here, son of Nadottus'.
A rarity in Cornwall, the St. Kew Inscribed stone has inscriptions in both Latin and Ogham (Old Irish). It reads IVSTI or Justus and is thought to be part of a larger inscription. It is situated within St. Kew church.
St. Warna's Well lies on the west coast of the Scillonian Island of St. Agnes. Dating from celtic times the well was later 'christianized'. It is approached by three steps leading down into its stone chamber and is located on rocks above St. Warna's Cove. Incidentally, St. Warna is the patron saint of shipwrecks.
Stannon Stone Circle lies on the slopes of Rough Tor, adjacent to the southern boundary of the Stannon China Clay Works. There are approximately 80 stones of which half remain standing. The circle has an average diameter of just over 40 metres dates from the Bronze Age and the proliferation of ancient sites makes the whole Rough Tor area well worth a visit.
Taphouse Ridge Round Barrows lie alongside the A390 road just under a mile west of West Taphouse. The Bronze Age barrows have an approximate W to E alignment and consist of two groups of four barrows. The western section have diameters of between 15 metres and 22 metres, whilst the eastern section are slightly larger with diameters of between 17 metres and 28 metres. Both groups exhibit the effects of treasure hunters and have robbed out centres.
The Devil's Coyt is situated near to the Trekenning roundabout on the A39 near St. Columb Major. Resembling the Quoits at Chun and Mulfra in the far west, records show that the Quoit or Dolmen was still erect until the 18th century. Its enclosed chamber measuring 2.1m x 1.8m x 2m high, covered with a large capstone. A support stone was removed from the western side in the early 1800's, with the quoit partially collapsing in the 1840's. Some thirty years later the quoit was broken up and remained lost until 1977 when its fragments were discovered during pipe-laying operations.
The Roman Altar stands within Tresco Abbey Gardens on the Scillonan island of Tresco. It is reputed to have been originally found at the site of the Pilots Gig Cafe on St. Marys. The altar stands 0.8 metres high and is 0.5 metres square. It is the only altar stone of its type in Cornwall.
The Trippet Stones Stone Circle lies near Blisland on Bodmin Moor and dates from the Early Bronze Age. Almost a true circle some 33 metres in diameter, only twelve of the original 26 stones remain. Eight still stand. The stone in the middle of the cicle is a modern boundary stone.
Standing within the south transept of Tintagel parish church, this inscribed stone measures 1.5 metres tall and is inscribed with IMP C G VAL LICIN, which translates as 'to the Emperor Caesar Gaius Valerius Licinus', which dates the inscription to about 250AD.
Tintagel Island is now a well known visitor attraction managed by English Heritage. Its main feature is the Castle thought to date from the 13th Century when it was the stronghold of Earl Richard of Cornwall. Prior to this the area was likely to have been an Iron Age Cliff Castle now sadly lost to erosion followed by a Post Roman settlement on level ground at the top of the island. Other walled enclosures on the ledges below the main path around the island may be medieval reworking of former Post Roman buildings. Associated structures here include a 12th century chapel, a pair of wells, a kiln and a tomb or shrine. It is thought that the island may have been the home of the Dumnonian royalty between 400 and 700 AD - still leaving open the possibility that (King) Arthur may have been concieved or born here.
A little to the north of Castle Down on the southern slope of Tregarthen Hill, on the north of Tresco, Isles of Scilly lie five chambered cairns or Entrance Graves, aligned NE-SW. The best preserved lies at SV88641626. This Entrance Grave has a diameter of about 7.3 metres with a chamber 4.6 metres long. It retains two of its original capstones and its inner kerb of 11 stones.

The inscription reads: C DOMI N GALLO ET VOLUS – ‘For the Emperor Caesars our lords Gallus and Volusian.’ Trebonianus Gallus and Antoninianus Volusianus reigned from 251-253 AD.
Two Bronze Age bowl barrows, approximately 26 metres in diameter lie close to the cliff edge near Zachry's Islands, Trevelgue. The stand 3.7 metres tall and stand proud of the landscape. On excavation, the easternmost barrow was found to have contained a stone cist complete with human skeleton, currently on display at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro.
Situated as it is close to the summer holiday resort of Newquay, Trevelgue Head Cliff Castle is usually overlooked by all but a handful of interested visitors. The castle is thought to date from the Iron Age although two Bronze Age barrows have been located indicating that the area has been utilised for even longer. Seven ramparts, ranging from 2 metres to 4 metres high, protect the interior making it probably the best defended cliff castle in Cornwall. Excavations in the mid twentieth century discovered at least fourteen roundhouses as well as Roman coinage.
Warbstow Bury Iron Age Hill Fort lies on the side of a hill just to the northwest of the North Cornwall village of Warbstow, near Launceston. Oval rather than circular it has diameters of 340 metres and 270 metres. The impressive ramparts are widely spaced and reach up to 5.8 metres in places. Their outer ditches are 2.7 metres in depth.

After much speculation and a lot of rumors, it looks like it's official. According to E! News, Ciara and Russell Wilson are married. The two reportedly tied the knot at the Peckforton Castle in Liverpool, England in front of family and friends. News of their nuptials first spread after July 4, with reports of the two hosting a rehearsal dinner on July 5 across the pond. It sure seems legit, so I guess congrats are in order for the happy couple. Update: Ciara and Wilson both shared a pic of their wedding on Instagram. See below.
Earlier: According to TMZ, they invited around 100 guests, who were also instructed to hand over their cellphones during the wedding. Apparently, Ciara and Wilson wanted to keep things extra private and not have anything leak onto social media. TMZ also reported that those invited met at a "central location" and were then transported to the mystery wedding location. If true, they definitely took this whole privacy thing seriously.
However, it looks like Jennifer Hudson, who E! News reports was invited, captured the moments leading up to the actual ceremony. Her Instagram is filled with a lot of photos in her beautiful gown. She also took her son and husband as her dates, which is adorable. According to E!, Serena Williams was set to be a bridesmaid, but had to back out due to her Wimbledon semi-finals match. As for other famous faces, Kelly Rowland and Lala Vasquez were also reportedly attending.
Wilson and Ciara have yet to officially comment, but based on a July 5 tweet from Wilson, it seems like he couldn't be happier at this time in his life.
They first made headlines as a couple in April 2015, but pretty much solidified it when Ciara and Wilson attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner together. At the time of their outing, there was no denying the chemistry between them. Then, in March 2016, the singer and NFL star got engaged. Wilson posted a video on Instagram after his proposal with a very excited Ciara. Alongside the IG, he wrote, "She said Yes!!! Since Day 1 I knew you were the one. No Greater feeling... #TrueLove."
Basically, these two don't slow down when it comes to happiness and love. Congrats to both of them!

A Category 6 cable is more commonly known as a Cat6, it is a standardised twisted pair cable used for Ethernet and other physical layers that are backwards compatible with previous iterations, such as Cat5/5E and Cat3. It is compatible with fast Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and Gigabit networks.
Where can I use a Cat6 Cable?
In gigabit Ethernet based computer networks, Cat6 cables can also be used for video and telephone applications. Theyre designed for high speed data transmission and minimised crosstalk.
What kind of Cat6 cable should I buy?
Our Cat6 cables feature 250 MHz bandwidth and are available in LSZH (Low smoke zero halogen).
 LSZH cables are used in poorly ventilated environments because they release fewer toxic and corrosive gases.
 LSZH Cat6's are used in the rail industry, tanks, aircraft's, offshore installations and ships. Shielded options may be necessary in environments affected by high EMI (electromagnetic interference).
 Solid cables feature conductors that are made of one solid metal wire. These dont always offer flexibility. Solid cables are better at transmitting signals over longer distances. Solid Cat 6 cables are found within walls, conduits and ceiling spaces.
 Stranded cables consist of multiple fine strands of wires, twisted around each other in each conductor to form a larger wire. They are ideal for use as patch cords and other shorter network cables.
What's the difference between shielded & unshielded (UTP) Ethernet Cable?
 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cables provide resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This is due to their construction with twisted cables. However, when close to other machines, power cables, and electronics, they can be affected by EMI and RFI.
 Shielded cables provide greater resistance to EMI and RFI. Shielded cables, sometimes known as STP (shielded twisted pair) cables ensure faster transmission speeds, fewer data errors and less crosstalk.
Cat6 cable assemblies are ideal for networking connections between devices. Cat6 cables assemblies are a group of cables gathered together in a protective casing, used to connect up computer networks. Cat6 Cables Assemblies normally feature an RJ45 connector. An RJ45 is a type of connector thats used for Ethernet Networking. They can support 10 gigabit Ethernet over distances of up to 55m.
Category 5e FTP and Category 6 SSTP patch cords for making connections between patch panels and active components.Volition™ RJ45 / RJ45 cables are available in various lengths.Straight cabling.

Solid concrete base, elegant brass stem, and round glass table surface.
An elegant marriage of glass & brass meet with a firm concrete base - an homage to wandering planetoids, adrift in an infinite cosmos. The idea for the Side Table was conceived after seeing how beautifully pools of water can reflect the shimmering stars above. Its rounded glass surface and clean polished edges create a floating mirror, aimed at the sky - a void that both reflects and absorbs.
The concrete base is a solid 40lbs (20kg) providing a steady foundation to ground the table.
Looking for the perfect accessory to the side table? Our rocket ship inspired incense burner is it!

“It’s my turn to give Nana her eye drops today!”, yelled Anthony, aged ten.
“No it’s my turn…” his five years old brother vehemently shot back!
Nana overheard her grandchildren bickering and braced herself as she prepared to get into the judge’s seat to sort out the ‘lawsuit’ that would soon be brought to her. She was pleasantly surprised when the kids did not turn up even after fifteen minutes. As she strained her ears to hear if they had stopped bickering, she overheard their peals of laughter. She smiled to herself and went back to her nap.
“Nana! Look at what these kids are up to!” Her peaceful sleep was broken by Mrs. Seth, their neighbour who had held both the kids by their ears and was dragging them in.
2. Remove the cap of the eye drop bottle carefully ensuring that the tip does not touch anything.
3. You may sit/ stand / lie down. Tilt your head backwards if you are sitting or standing and look up. Use a mirror if you are putting the drops yourself.
4. Pull your lower eyelid away from your eye very gently to form a pouch.
5. Position the bottle vertically over this region. Squeeze the bottle gently and allow one drop to fall inside the lower eyelid. Look down, release your eyelid and close your eye.Do not squeeze or roll your eye around.
6. Press the inside corner of your closed eye with the tip of your index finger for at least two minutes. This minimizes the absorption of the eye drop from the tear duct, nose and throat into the blood by blocking the tear duct openings. Absorption of the drug into the blood may give rise to side effects depending on the drug in the eye drop. This also helps in keeping the eye drop in your eye where it is required.
7. After using the drops, wash your hands immediately, to remove any medication that may be remaining on them.
• If your hands shake too much, you can approach your eyes from the sides so that you can rest your hand on your face to help steady it.
• If you are not sure if the drop has gone into your eye, you may place the eye drop in the refrigerator (not freezer). When the cold drops go in you will be able to feel it and know for sure that it has gone in.
• If you have trouble holding the eye drop bottle because it feels too small to hold, wrap a paper towel around it to make it wider.
• If you need to put more than one drop, wait for five minutes between the two drops. This will prevent the second drop from washing the first drop out before it has done its work.
• Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions. Do not over medicate or under medicate on your own.
• Ensure that your doctor knows about any other medication (aspirin, herbal supplements, vitamins) that you are consuming. Also inform about any allergies.
• If you have been prescribed an eye ointment and eye drops both, use the eye drops first.
• Throw out the bottle after the recommended time. This is usually four weeks after you have broken open the seal.
Anthony was happy ‘coz he got to use the bottle everyday now! But it was Nana’s Ophthalmologist who was the happiest when he saw that the drops had begun to help Nana’s Glaucoma better than before, now that they were actually going in every time.

So, if we are working on a job for you and we have not sent you a proof yet, then the chances are that your job will be set back a bit. For those that we haven't spoke to yet, we will be contacting everyone via email once things are running smoothly again.

When I got together with fellow black women feminists, we talked about the ways people tend to think about domestic violence (DV). As one attendee stated, “Obviously if someone came at you with a bat on the first date, you would know right away they are someone to avoid.” The reality is, abusers are manipulative people. They tend to take their time (sometimes years) grooming their victims before they ever physically assault them. If it even goes that far.
The idea that all abuse is extreme, is what I call the “Lifetime Movie” syndrome. You know how in lifetime movies they tend to over dramatize everything. Not to say that it isn’t true for many women, but a lot of abuse tends to be more subtle/calculated. Because of the “Lifetime Movie” syndrome, many people have bought into the idea that domestic violence is only “real” if a woman has visible scars.
When you look at the range of abusive tactics, the majority of women have been in some type of controlling relationship. Even if the incident happened one time. There is the belief that domestic violence is a daily occurrence. If a woman has been harmed just one time, that is domestic violence.
Michelle’s story is similar to many women who may not have been hit, but terrorized in other ways. Often times, it’s hard for women to talk about this type of abuse because people don’t take it seriously. Michelle has been openly criticized about the incident.
The complicated matter of what constitutes abuse is something we all need to be more educated about. With over 90% of domestic violence victims women, we will have a woman in our lives (family, friend, etc.) dealing with this issue.

Two years after the devastating Wood Buffalo wildfire, government and the insurance industry continue to work together to ensure no resident is left behind.
As of May 10, 97 per cent of the residential insurance claims resulting from the disaster have been settled, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC). This means about 900 residential claims remain unresolved, of which 85 per cent have received an extension.
The Insurance Act sets out a two-year deadline for property claims to be settled. All insurance companies have been granting extensions on a case-by case basis, some up to 12 months.
When an extension is granted beyond the statutory two-year limitation, affected residents can continue to resolve their claims. As a last resort, they can file a court action to preserve their legal rights.
The original deadline to settle claims was early May. However, the majority of residents with unresolved claims have been granted an extension or have filed a court action. If any resident has not been granted an extension on their claim or started a court action, they are encouraged to contact the Superintendent of Insurance for more information.
As of May 10, 97 per cent of residential property claims have been settled.
Approximately 900 claims remain open, of which about 85 per cent have been granted an extension.
Insurance companies are expected to pay out $3.7 billion to Wood Buffalo policyholders as a result of the wildfire. In all, there were 25,499 residential property claims, 4,151 commercial claims and 14,444 automobile claims filed.
Under the Insurance Act, insurance claims have a two-year statutory limitation period from the day the loss occurred or from when the policyholder ought reasonably to have known of their loss, to reach a settlement. If claimants are unable to settle before the deadline, they can preserve their rights by asking the insurer for an extension or by filing a statement of claim in court. Those who have received an extension can also file a court action to preserve their rights past the extended limitation period.
The 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire began on May 1, 2016 and the vast majority of private property damage occurred in the first few days.
For more information, contact the Superintendent of Insurance, tbf.insurance@gov.ab.ca or 780-643-2237 in Edmonton, or dial 310-0000 toll-free in Alberta and then dial 780-643-2237.

Our long-only equity strategy returned over 18% in the first quarter of 2019.
Our discipline and new commitments made during last year’s drawdown were rewarded this quarter. Last year’s large market decline allowed us to buy new positions in businesses trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic worth. One of these companies is growing its topline at more than 20% per year and has a decade-long runway of double-digit growth opportunities via store expansion, and yet we were able to pay less than 15x 2021 earnings and half our estimate of the value of the business. Another new position traded for less than 13x (ex-cash) our 2021 estimates and was 40% below our valuation of the business, even though it’s likely to grow its topline 14% per year for the next several years. Investor panic in Q4 2018 allowed us to buy these high growth companies at value prices. And we were pleased that these two new positions were among our best performers in the first quarter of 2019.
We welcome large drawdowns, as we strive to use them to our long-term benefit, and our historical record doing so has been good. We wish there had been a lot more volatility during this bull market!
Our positions in financials were our worst performing positions in Q1 2019. However, our conviction continues to run deep. Our bank holdings are extremely well-capitalized, offer multiple avenues for long-term growth, have strong sustainable competitive advantages, and most importantly, currently trade for less than 9x forward normalized earnings. We think it is highly likely that these positions will deliver an excess of 15% per year over the next few years. Plus, we view the downside risk of these holdings over the medium term as negligible. While our positions in large banks may not be our best performers in the years ahead, we do think they remain a relatively low risk way to achieve double-digit returns.
In aggregate, we continue to view our portfolio as valued to generate average annual returns in the mid-teens over the next several years. This is in stark contrast with broad stock market indices, which appear priced to return a mid-to-high single digit figure at best.
Today, over 80% of our portfolio is invested in 13 companies. We are now finding excellent value in industrial, energy, and financial companies, the traditional bastions of “value” that have been largely ignored over the last couple of years. Investor neglect has left these businesses priced in such a way that handsome returns should follow even if business operating performance is middling.
Broad stocks markets like the S&P 500, on the other hand, are priced for perfection. Consensus forward earnings estimates sneakily assume a march to peak profitability.
S&P 500 consensus estimates for 2020 have pre-tax, pre-interest margins rising above 16%, something that has only occurred a handful of quarters over the last 20 years, and only at the heights of the last two bubbles. And even if margins do make their way up above 16% (for math wonks, that’s +2 standard deviations above the mean which occurs less than 5% of the time), it’ll take an above average multiple to generate returns north of 7% per year.
Based on the S&P 500’s current valuation, peak profitability must materialize, or investors will soon discover their “cheap,” “fair,” “average” forward valuation metrics are based on overenthusiastic margins, or at the very least likely fleeting ones.
Not only is our small collection of carefully chosen businesses a key differentiator, but even the underlying valuation dynamics favors our positioning.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (February 14, 2017) – The Pacific Challenge Series presented by PenneyLawyers.com has completed its 2017 schedule announcements with Ukiah Speedway set for July 29th. The touring Super Late Model series is set for ten races at five tracks in 2017, spanning across northern and central California.
Located on the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds, the quarter-mile Ukiah Speedway has been a fixture on the series calendar from its inception. PCS and Ukiah Speedway officials aim to make the most of the sole appearance at the track compared to three visits in 2016. 2012 and 2016 champion Jeremy Doss of nearby Upperlake, CA won two of last year’s races while series runner-up and 2014 champion Mike Beeler won the July race to be the event’s defending winner.
Drivers such as Hunter Corbitt and Chris Scribner earned their first career series wins at the track while JR Courage led 48 laps last July en route to a second place finish and 2016 Rookie of the Year Matt Wendt ran up front early in the May race. The smaller track has produced some of the closest racing and creates perhaps the most even playing field in the series.
The 2017 Pacific Challenge Series fires off March 18th at Madera Speedway before traveling to Roseville’s All American Speedway on April 15th, Shasta Speedway on May 6th, and Stockton 99 Speedway on May 20th.
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (February 10, 2017) – The Pacific Challenge Series presented by PenneyLawyers.com has confirmed the ninth date for its 2017 campaign, to bring the touring Super Late Model series to four tracks signed for the upcoming season. The PCS will return to its largest track at Anderson, CA’s Shasta Speedway on May 6. It will mark the seventh time PCS has raced at the 3/8ths mile located on the Tehama County Fairgrounds.

The last month has been a whirlwind of lesson planning, cutting, pasting, laminating, and organizing. In other words, school is back in session. After a blissful ten week hiatus, my lazy summer days have come to a close. And it's been a bit of a rough adjustment on my end. During those ten weeks, I had allowed myself to nestle into a very cozy place in my life. Mornings in my pj's with Lina, afternoons straightening up the house and running errands, evenings curled up on the couch watching Kenny Powers with Mike (did I mention I started watching Eastbound and Down this summer? My new favorite). For a while there, I was living the delusion that I was a housewife. A stay-at-home mom whose only job was to look after her baby and keep her apartment tidy.
The truth of the matter is that changing diapers, bleaching the bathroom, making baby food, mopping the floors, and spending quality time with your child (and husband) is a bonafide full-time job in itself. But over the course of the summer, I had actually gotten really good at it. I had established a routine, a system, in which I could keep my home livable, while still having plenty of time for my daughter and even a few date nights(!) Not once did I forget to pay a bill because I was just too exhausted, or fall asleep at 8:00 on date night, or trip over the laundry bag that I never got around to putting away. None of these things were an issue over the summer because for the first time in my life as a working mother, I was actually on top of it. My only job was to be Mike's wife and Angelina's mom. And I must say that this was the job I was born to do.
But now I feel as though someone has taken a pin and popped the little bubble I was living in. It took all of two days of being back to work full-time for the sink to overflow with dishes and for the perpetual exhaustion to settle back in. Truth be told, I have a great job. It's incredibly challenging, and very demanding of my time, but I honestly love my students and do enjoy my work. I just wish I could go above and beyond professionally without my personal life taking a hit. When I stay late after school to work more, I miss out on even more time with Lina, which just kills me. But if I spend my whole weekend relaxing with my family, I feel guilty that I should have done more work for school. Sometimes I feel perpetually guilty. If any of you working moms unlock this mystery, please share your secrets!
I guess at the end of the day, it's a balancing act that I will eventually master. In reality, I was blessed that the city of New York gave me ten paid weeks off to enjoy with my family. Maybe instead of complaining, I should acknowledge what a wonderful thing that is, then focus my attention on how to better balance it all. We all wear many hats, I suppose; wife, mother, teacher. I guess the trick is to master how to change them swiftly, while not letting the other ones fall.

Reflexology, not to be confused with massage, has been practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptians. Eunice Ingham, a pioneer in this field wrote a book published in 1938 about the modality.
In a typical session the therapist use only their hands to stimulate specific reflex points that correspond with all the glands, organs and systems of the body. By working the hands or feet we primarily effect relaxation or relief of stress and tension. It is said to improve nerve and blood supply helping the body to naturally normalize. It is simple, safe and effective.
At The Rejuvenate Colon & Massage Center a session will last approximately 40 minutes with the clients needs addressed appropriately. To make an appointment for a Reflexology session please call (570) 253-5170.
Karen McConnell is currently enrolled with the International Institute of Reflexology at the third level and enjoys offering this modality to her clients to further benefit their needs for optimal health naturally.

Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza, a sociologist, runs a great blog site, Get A Life, PhD, that is a goldmine of tips and resources to be a productive, successful scholar. On top of maintaining a healthy balance of her work, family, and personal lives, she also has multiple blogs (wow). Below, she has allowed me to share her most recent bit of advice on starting the semester off right.
You may also other posts by Dr. Golash-Boza useful, including tips on teaching, effective writing, presentations, dissertating, health and wellness, public scholarship, productivity, and organization.
How are you feeling about starting the semester?
The end of summer usually involves a shift in the daily and weekly workflow for academics. During the summer, most of us have fewer commitments and many of us do not teach. Personally, I have always made a point to avoid the lure of extra income and not teach during the summer. As for administrative responsibilities, these accrue as one advances in one’s career. However, I try to keep those to a minimum during the summer months. Because of my research interests, I also usually spend nearly all of my summer outside the United States.
This past summer, I traveled to Guatemala and Mexico – which also explains why I have not been posting to [my] blog all summer.
This August, once again, I find myself looking towards the fall semester and thinking about how I am going to organize my time. My children start school on Monday, and I teach my first class on September 4. This gives me some time to get used to the rhythm before the semester starts in full force. During this time, I plan to try out a new schedule and see how it works for me.
The idea is that I will create a weekly schedule that has my fixed appointments for the semester and also carves out time for things I need to do but could do at any time: prepare class, read, write, exercise, eat, and respond to emails.
Kerry Ann Rockqeumore calls this schedule your “skeleton.” She suggests making one each week. Mine does not look like a skeleton at all, so I prefer to refer to it as a template. I find it useful to make a template at the beginning of the semester and setting up repeating appointments in your calendar so that your template is ready each week when you decide on your specific goals.
When making my weekly template for the semester, the first thing I think about is teaching, as teaching has a fixed schedule and I need to set aside time to teach and to prepare for class. I am fortunate to only be teaching one class this semester. Thus, I block out the time I will teach as well as a few hours to read and prepare for class. I am teaching a graduate seminar and we will be reading a book each week. Thus, I need to set aside time to ensure I finish reading the book. I will have time to read for this class in the evenings, after the kids go to bed, but, from experience, I know I also have to set aside time during the day to read and think about the books before class.
The next thing up is office hours. I have set those on Thursday afternoons.
Up next is writing. I know I write best in the mornings. My children will leave the house by 8:30am each morning. And, my goal is to write for two hours each morning. From experience, I know I need to set aside two and a half hours in order to get in two hours of writing, so I will set aside 8:30am to 11:00am each morning. Once I do that, I remember that I need to be more efficient on Wednesdays when I teach, so I cut Wednesdays back to 10:30 and give myself some extra time to prepare class.
I need to go up to campus on Wednesdays to teach and on Thursdays for office hours. I usually bike to campus, and it takes me about 45 minutes. So, I set aside an hour to get to campus on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Biking to and from campus also counts as exercise for those two days. Once I do that, I remember that I often don’t finish all of my administrative tasks during office hours on Thursdays. So, I decide I should go to campus on Fridays as well and take care of business. I can use Friday afternoons to write reports, submit receipts, review materials, and clean out my email inbox.
We all know how time-consuming email can be. So, I set aside another hour before lunch each day to take care of email. If I focus on email and avoid being sucked into the Internet vortex, this should be enough time.
Then, I remember I also need to set aside some time to read. As I mentioned earlier, I do find time to read in the evenings. However, I also need time during the day to download articles, order books, and select what I will read. So, I decide to set aside Monday afternoons to select readings and to read for the week.
I also need to get in my daily exercise. I will get in enough exercise from Wednesdays to Fridays by biking ten miles back and forth to work. So, on Mondays and Tuesdays, I set aside an hour for exercise each day.
I color-coded my schedule so that I can see at a glance how much time I am dedicating to writing (red), admin (green), teaching (orange), and self-care (purple).
As I make this schedule, I know from experience that probably no week will go exactly like this. However, it helps me to have a structure. It also is a reminder that I am very busy and have lots of things to do, even though I am only teaching one course.
Inevitably, someone will ask to have a meeting with me during one of the times I have set aside for something else. That will be fine, though. Having this visualization of my ideal week will allow me to see what I need to move around in order to make time for a meeting.
If I need to have a one-on-one meeting, my first suggestion will be that the person come to my office hours. If that does not work, I have also set aside time on Thursday and Friday afternoons to meet. If neither of those times work, I will move things around. For example, if I need to meet on Tuesday afternoon, I will have to spend some time on Monday preparing for class. Or, if we meet on Friday at 11, I will have to get an early start on my writing and pack my lunch to take to the office. If the meeting is casual, I can suggest we meet for lunch any day of the week.
If I am asked to join a group meeting, I will suggest that the meeting happen on Thursday or Friday afternoon. My next preferred time will be a different afternoon. As usual, I will do my best not to schedule meetings during my writing time, as I know from experience that mornings are my most productive times for writing.
What about you? What will your ideal week look like? Do you find making this kind of schedule helpful?

Most Russians can only dream of living the high life, but they have firm ideas of what they would buy if they could afford luxuries.
With the likes of Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich frequently featuring in the British press, you might be forgiven for thinking that Russia is full of oligarchs jet-setting around the globe. But in reality most Russians can only dream of living in luxury.
Sociologists at the Romir research centre decided to find out what Russians think constitutes a luxury, and what you need to earn to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle. They surveyed 1,000 residents of cities with populations of 100,000 or more in eight federal districts. The survey respondents were aged between 16 and 50.
The main symbol of luxury for the majority of Russians (53%) was a private yacht. In second place was property (42%) and a private plane (38%) was third.
Expensive cars were named by 37%, diamonds by 30%, and holidaying on exotic islands by 29%. Less than 15% saw antiques or valuable paintings or going on cruises as symbols of luxury.
Clothes by famous designers and fur were considered luxuries by 9% and 8%. Only one in 20 associated gourmet restaurants with luxury. And while black caviar is often associated with the high life in the West, only 4% of Russians named it as one of their would-be luxuries.
Rankings of luxury items differed between men and women. Men were more strongly impressed by yachts (58%; 48% for women) and private planes (42%; 34% for women). Luxury homes are cited more by women than men as symbols of luxury (49% versus 34% for men).
People in different age groups also had different priorities. Expensive cars were most important to the under 25s, but older people ranked them in fourth or fifth place. A private plane was named as the second most important luxury for those aged 25 to 44, while younger respondents were less impressed by the pleasures of private air travel, ranking it in fifth place.
Russians over 45 saw holidays on exotic islands as their main idea of living in luxury, while younger respondents had other luxuries in mind, ranking exotic holidays in sixth place.
When asked which countries were most associated with luxury living, 33% chose France. This was followed by the United States (23%) and United Kingdom (21%). Interestingly, the top 10 countries associated with a life of luxury included Russia (6%). Perhaps this is because Moscow is now one of the most expensive cities in the world.
More women than men opted for France (46%; 20% of men), probably because Paris is seen as the city of romance and haute couture. Men were more likely to cite the US, Britain, and Switzerland. The United Arab Emirates and Monaco, where wealth is more obviously on display, were also mentioned (by 14% of men and 11% of women).
When it came to naming brands associated with luxury, Dior, Chanel and Gucci were among women’s favourites, while Bentley, Rolex and Dolce & Gabbana were named most by men.
The survey found almost unanimous agreement that rich people should pay a higher rate of tax when buying luxury goods. Only 7% thought that there should not be a tax on luxury items. However, there were differing views as to where the bar for taxing luxury goods should be set.
According to 40% of respondents, a higher rate of tax should be charged on items costing as little as 500,000 to a million rubles (about $ 17, 000 to $ 34, 000). They hadn’t seemed to take into account, however, that their own family cars might be subject to a higher tax at this rate. Others set the bar higher at anything costing 3.2 million rubles (about $ 108, 000) or more.
Perceptions of how much you need to live in luxury varied. On average, it was thought you needed a monthly income of a million rubles per family. Those in Moscow and St. Petersburg put the figure at 1.5 million rubles (about $51, 000) a month.
When the Romir research centre asked Russians in August 2011 what they thought was the minimum wage needed for a family of three to live a “normal life”, the average answer was 66,000 rubles (about $ 2,240), and around $ 3,000 for St. Petersburg and Moscow.
Perceptions of the income needed to live the high life were virtually the same for men and women, but differed wildly when it comes to people of different age brackets. Those under 25 considered people with a monthly income of 650,000 rubles (about $ 22 000) to be rich while the older age group put the figure at 1.1 million rubles (about $37, 000).

Tillson's multiple exponential average (T3) is an advanced moving average indicator built by Tim Tillson in 1998 to avoid tradings during trend side movements. For its calculation it is possible to use a series of multiple exponential price smoothing.
Compared with standard moving average algorithms available online, this indicator performs better market’s noise filtering and user experience with less lagging time. It is extremely important once trading strategy orients on detecting early signals of fresh trend arising.Most widespread way to trade via T3 is to wait for an intersection between bull bar’s open with T3 line, that signals to buy, and reverse action signals to sell.

Shooting stereoscopic 3D video with an existing 2D camera would be a nice feature to have. But most cameras aren’t designed to do that and achieving a stereoscopic 3D effect typically requires two separate cameras, plus additional software to stitch the two videos together.
Vitrima is a stereoscopic 3D lens that connects to a GoPro camera via the camera’s standard housing that comes pre-attached to the lens. The lens transforms the camera into a 3D recording device without the need for another camera or special software. It uses mirrors to create the 3D natively in the camera. Another nice feature is that Vitrima is waterproof.
Vitrima ships in August at future pricing of $129. But Indiegogo backers can order one with an $89 pledge. Its maker is also fielding a lightweight version of the lens, ideal for drones and gimbals, that connects directly to a GoPro camera and ships in September at $99. But Indiegogo backers can order one with a $75 pledge. Its makers hope to raise $20,000 by July 22.
As long as Vitrima provides a good-quality 3D effect, it seems to be another handy accessory for the popular GoPro. The one main drawback is compatibility because, for now anyway, it works only with the GoPro Hero 4 and Hero 3. Watching the videos recorded in 3D also requires a separate 3D headset or uploading videos to YouTube to use select types of 3D glasses. Vitrima’s makers are selling a 3D headset at $29.
