Tomorrow is a big day for Xiaomi, as the company is expected to launch a row of products. The key highlight of the event will be the company’s eight-anniversary edition flagship smartphone phone, aka Mi 8, followed by MIUI 10 and also a fitness wear — Mi Band 3. Not only that, Xiaomi is also expected to launch Mi Note 5. Reports now are, Xiaomi may launch a fourth product, which will basically be a toned down version of the Mi 8, aka Mi 8 SE. Reportedly, the Mi 8 SE will be a special edition phone, meaning it will be available only in limited quantities to the customers, unlike Mi 8. Until now, all we knew about the phone was the name. Now, the latest leak reveals some hardware specs of the Mi 8 SE for the first time. The leak suggests that the smartphone will come packed with a much-improved selfie camera than the Mi 8. However, in other hardware departments, Mi 8 wins. This means Mi 8 will have much premium specs sheet compared to the Mi 8 SE.
A part of the Mi 8 SE retail box was leaked on the Chinese microblogging site, Weibo revealing some specs details of the phone. Apart from confirming the name of the phone yet again, the retail box reveals that the Mi 8 SE will be a special edition phone and will have much lower specs version of the Mi 8. It suggests that the Mi 8 SE will be powered by Snapdragon 710 processor, unlike the Mi 8 which is expected to come with Qualcomm’s latest processor currently, Snapdragon 845. The retail box further suggests that the Mi 8 SE may either come with 4GB RAM or 6GB RAM. The phone is expected to be available only in one RAM variant.
As already mentioned, the Mi 8 SE will be a toned down version of the Mi 8. The retail box reveals that the Mi 8 SE will not come with Face ID support which the Mi 8 is expected to pack. The only department that the Mi 8 SE is over the Mi 8 is on the camera department, the front camera mostly. The leaked retail box suggests that the Mi 8 SE will sport a 20-megapixel image sensor on the front, unlike the Mi 8 which is tipped to come with a 16-megapixel selfie cam. This is all the leaked Mi 8 SE retail box reveals about the phone.
Considering Xiaomi is also expected to unveil MIUI 10 in tomorrow’s event, we can expect the Mi 8 SE to run MIUI 10 on top of Android Oreo. As of now, there are no details on the price of the Mi 8 SE, but considering the specs, all we can say right now is that the phone will be much cheaper than the Mi 8, which is said to come with an expensive price tag.

Traditional umbrellas have many drawbacks, especially in severe weather conditions, strong winds blowing umbrellas, and spoke design makes it difficult to walk through the crowd.
The front of helmet umbrella has a sectional structure and is based on a motorcycle helmet design. This means that people can see the front thing of the helmet umbrella, while the strong winds and heavy rain to avoid the head and shoulders were wet. At the same time, it can also be used to block sunlight.

Update: We played the Dark Souls board game at Salute - check out our preview here.
Hot off the heels of the announcement a couple of weeks ago that Eric Lang and Cool Mini or Not will be creating a Bloodbourne card game, Steamforged games have just announced via their Facebook page that they are working with Namco Bandai on a Dark Souls board game.
Steamforged Games is proud to announce we will be working with Bandai Namco Entertainment, developing an exciting board game for the Dark Souls universe.
As Dark Souls fans, we could not be more excited to be given the honour of developing a board game that embraces everything that makes Dark Souls the deep, compelling game experience that it is.
The Dark Souls board game will be launched on Kickstarter during April 2016.
I’m a self-confessed Dark Souls addict, having fought my way through the undead burg far too many times. The game is a dark take on the fantasy game tropes and while there are your typical undead, dragons and knights, everything is much grimmer and bleak.
And when I say bleak, I don’t mean the comic skull adorned world of grim-dark, I mean the kind of bleak where you need to stand in the sun to make yourself feel better.
The Dark Souls video games are known for their punishing difficulty, grotesque boss monsters and sense of wonder and it will be interesting to see how Steamforged Games can convert this into a board game.
Steamforged have been highly praised for Guildball, their take on the fantasy football miniatures game but this will be their first foray into the board game arena. Here's hoping they can do the licence justice.

The intelligence gathered against Syria’s Assad was manufactured by elements within the spy community in order to mislead the US President to take punitive action, Ray McGovern, a veteran CIA analyst, told RT.
RT:You were one of the signatories to that letter to the US President. Do you think it will influence Obama?
Ray McGovern: Well, the problem of course is getting into what they call the mainstream media. The media is drumbeating for the war just as before Iraq. And they don’t want to hear that the evidence is very very flimsy. They don’t want to hear that people within the CIA – senior people, with great access to this information – assure us, the veterans, that there’s no conclusive evidence that Assad ordered those chemical incidents on August 21. They don’t want to hear that. They want to process beyond that and just deal with what we must do. Now, you don’t assume those things – you need proof of them.
RT:In the letter, you cite evidence that the Syrian opposition and its allies carried out a chemical weapons provocation. Why do you think this has been ignored completely by Obama and Kerry?
RM: The reason that they don’t adduce the evidence is because it wouldn’t stand up not only in the court of law, it wouldn’t bear close scrutiny. We’ve been down this road before. It happened before in Iraq. What the president needs to do is to release the intercepted message, on which most of this depends. And once he’s done that, we could see what he’s got. There’s precedent for this – Ronald Reagan in 1986, when the Libyans bombed a discotheque in Berlin, killing two US servicemen and wounding hundreds. He hit [Muammar] Gaddafi’s palace, killing his little daughter, 15 months old, and almost killing his son three years old. Now, the world said: ‘You can’t do that! What’s your evidence that the Libyans did that?’ And Reagan came to us and said: ‘We have to release that intercepted message. And we said; ‘No! No! No! You can’t do that because you’ll blow our source.’ And he said: ‘Do it anyway.’ That was released and the world calmed down. I don’t defend killing little children, but at least Reagan gained some credibility from the fact that he saw that the interests of the state, of the US, superseded protecting sources and methods. That’s what Obama has to do now. We’re very suspicious that if he’s unwilling to do that, since he sends his Chief of Staff before the camera and says: ‘Well, it wouldn’t stand up in a court of law, but, hey, intelligence is intelligence – you got to trust this. But we’re not going to trust him this time, especially when the head of the intelligence establishment is a self-admitted perjurer'.
RT:Why has it been so hard for Washington to sell to the world its case for intervention? Very few of their key allies explicitly support a military strike right now.
RM: I have to say that if you look at the ‘Cui Bono’ – the classic question: ‘who does this profit?’ The only state, the only country that it profits is Israel. As long as, there’s an unending… looks like it’s going to be a 30-year war in Syria, a Shia against Sunni contest, not only in Syria, but in the whole Middle East area, now that Israel feels that the Sunni and the Shia aren’t going to be turning their swords and their guns on Israel. It’s that simple. Now, [US Secretary of State] John Kerry has amply demonstrated that he’s under the influence of [Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin] Netanyahu. He made believe he was talking about Palestine in the last couple of months, but what he was really talking about was Syria and that shows in his behavior and even his demeanor. So, what we have here is a situation where Israel and the tough guys – and tough gals now – in the White House, advising Obama, say, ‘you’ve got to do something’, and the only country that would profit from this is the state of Israel.
RT:We heard John Kerry backtrack a little yesterday, by saying that Obama hasn't made a decision yet on Syria. The US President was much more certain about an attack on Syria a week ago. Why the softening of their stance?
RM: You know what happened a week ago. Last Friday, Kerry went before the cameras and said: ‘We got to do this. And here’s not the intelligence assessment, mind you – but the government’s assessment.’ Meaning the White House had a chance to massage it, edit it. It didn’t hold up to scrutiny. Now, what happened? Apparently the military got to the president, and I see some evidence of this. Next thing we know the president changes his mind on Saturday afternoon, and the only thing that really intervened was that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, telling the president: “Look. It’s going to be really hard to explain why we have to do it now. We could do it tomorrow, or next week, or next month. We don’t really have to do it now.” And the president said that in justifying this delay. What’s more evidence? Lindsey Graham and John McCain the next day just took off after the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman in a very personal and vindictive way. Because they know the military leaders went to the president saying, “Look, we know you’re being told this is going to be easy and limited and all that – but these guys and gals don’t know a thing about war. We do. And we know that it’s not going to be so easy, so if you’re going to do this, you’d better gain wide support, because, otherwise, your presidency is over."
RT:And who do you think the Congressional vote is going to play out?
RM: You know… I’m not a domestic political analyst. So, my opinion isn’t much better than anyone else’s. In Washington, within the beltway and in all the TV shows, it’s always “we’ve got to do something! We must protect the President!" The odd thing is that this time the Democrats have drunk the Kool Aid [an American expression in business and politics, meaning to follow blindly]. This time we have to protect the President, he’s gone out on a limb here. He’s drunk the Kool Aid, and I talked to a Congressman last night for five minutes… and it was every clear that he pledged the House leader that he would vote according to what the President says, because “we have to protect the President”. Are you going to say the President is lying? We don’t have to say [that]. What you do need to say, according to our information, is that the President is being given cooked-up intelligence because John Brennan, the head of the CIA, and James Clapper, the confessed perjurer, have thought it in their best interests to cater to the wishes of the White House, which have been very clear: ‘this time, we want to strike Syria.’ It’s a terrible situation, it’s a political sort of thing now, and we’ll have to see how it plays out. I have more hope than this time last week that it will be turned down. And then I don’t think the President would violate the constitution and the UN Charter both by starting a war.

The word Rumba is a generic term, covering a variety of names for a type of West Indian music and dance (i.e., Son, Danzon, and Bolero). Although the main growth was in Cuba, there were similar dance developments that took place in other Caribbean islands and in Latin America generally. Traditionally, the music was played with a staccato beat using instruments including the maracas, claves, marimba, guiro, cencerro, and bongo or timbales drums. The native Rumba folk dance is very sexual and danced extremely fast with exaggerated hip movements.
Today’s Rumba is danced very slowly and has romantic, flirtatious overtones. The American style version is done in a “Box” pattern to a Slow Quick Quick timing. In the Ballrooms we call it either the “Dance of Love” (because you stare into each others eyes as you dance) or “The Ladies’ Dance” (because is shows off women to advantage). Many modern Country, Soul and Latin love songs are Rumbas. The music has a slower Slow Quick Quick rhythm and therefore more exaggerated use of Cuban motion (hip movements) and a more fluid arm styling. The Rumba is a spot dance like most of the Latin dances, which means that it does not travel around the room.

What has changed the most in hearing technology over the past several years?
Rigorous research and development efforts have helped hearing aids evolve from large, unwieldy accessories to sleek, nearly invisible designs with a multitude of features. And according to Connect Hearing audiologist Jody Pogue, these transformations have made differences in the lives of millions.
However, Pogue explains that detailed engineering efforts have paved the way for instruments that fit the needs of the many, while providing the flexibility to accommodate each user’s unique patterns of hearing loss.
“Digital hearing aids changed everything. All of a sudden, instead of making everything louder, we were able to fit those people who had those high frequency hearing losses,” says Pogue.
John Cummins, a Hearing Instrument Specialist with Connect Hearing, sees similar opportunities from these staggering technological advancements.
“Competition has improved the market offerings, and technology has vastly improved in both receiver-in-canal (RIC) and custom hearing aids,” Cummins says.
Cummins adds that since the input of practitioners is essential in finding the right devices, consumers probably won’t be in a rush to try to navigate the buying and adjustment process without the help of licensed professionals.
But the increased awareness around hearing aids, thanks to attention from major retailers and the new hearing aid bill, will help relieve stigma around the devices, making them more accessible and opening the door to even better offerings.
Indeed, the fluidity of today’s technology is better than it ever has been. According to Rachel Allen, another Hearing Instrument Specialist with Connect Hearing, customization is becoming ubiquitous for hearing aids.
“Most [hearing aid] companies allow the user to make changes based on their environment so they can fine tune the sound to their preference,” she says.
This convenience, Allen believes, will likely morph into even more connectivity to hearing aids through advanced cell phone apps that allow users to manually tweak their hearing aid programs with a tap of their screens.
What exciting new developments are on the horizon for hearing aids?
The major changes in hearing technology over the last few years are just the beginning. Pogue points out that hearing aid users have a lot to look forward to, especially with advancing Bluetooth® features.
Cummins sees similar things on the horizon for hearing aids. “Bluetooth® connectivity and reduction of size in hearing aids, as well as longer battery life (for rechargeables) will help connect those with hearing loss to more devices,” he says.
What will hearing technology look like in five years?
From on-demand everything to social media to self-driving cars, tectonic technological shifts are transforming the way we live our everyday lives—and hearing care is no different. With their capacity to so vastly improve the lives of users, our panelists have high hopes for the future of hearing technology.
As for Cummins, he sees a future of highly intuitive technology on the horizon.
Plus, Cummins says, users will be able to seamlessly connect with the most cutting-edge fitness products.
With all of these projected developments, there’s certainly a lot to get excited about!
Our panel of Hearing Care Professionals publishes great information for our monthly newsletter. Topics can include: hearing loss, hearing aids, advances in audiology - and technology.

Due to the overwhelming response, the radon test kits offered free from the Grey Bruce Health Unit have all been distributed. Those who have been put on a waiting list will receive a test kit in the coming weeks. No additional free kits will be available from the Health Unit.
Six hundred free home test kits were being distributed by the Health Unit as part of November Radon Awareness Month. Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. An estimated 20% of lung cancer deaths in Grey Bruce were due to radon.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that may accumulate in a home. Radon is colourless and odourless; it can enter a home anywhere there is contact with the ground, such as basements. Testing is the only way to know if it is present. Test kits are left in a home for three months. They are then mailed, in the envelope provided, for analysis and results are sent back. All homes regardless of age, single or multi story, slab or with basement can have radon.

The vanilla custard will arrive flaming in the sweet orange aroma of Grand Marnier. The moment you crack the crispy shell on top to the moment the waiter pulls the dish from your table goes quickly. Trust us, you’ll only need one spoon.
Rich, hearty, and fresh. Crafted flawlessly, the cream-based bisque combines hints of tart white wine with a generous portion of blue crab and is topped off with a crusty grilled crostini. This stout bisque would make for a perfectly paired surf and turf with the prime porterhouse.
Get back to basics with this meat and potato meal. The succulent, robust ribs are roasted with an entire head of garlic and basked in caramelized onions. Pair it with Ember’s delectable lobster mashed potatoes, and a Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned. Dine to the relaxing sounds of the streaming fountain on the outdoor patio, and you’ll have a night to remember.
Hand-cut from the center of the tenderloin, this perfectly seared and seasoned piece of meat will take your steak game from backyard grill-mate to culinary expert with the flip of a spatula.

Custom metal fabrication is an idea that’s becoming very popular. Instead of buying ready-made metal products, many people are opting for custom metal fabrication because of a number of reasons.

If you are looking for a metal fabrication company to bring your designs to reality, then you ought to ensure that you make the right choice. Here are some of the factors to consider before picking a custom metal fabrication provider.
Level of skill is the first thing you check when looking for the ideal custom metal fabrication provider. You want to ensure that you pick the right company depending on your project. For instance, you should look for an auto fabricator if you intend to manufacture tools or machinery to be used on cars. Knowing that fabricators have different skills sets is every important if you want to make the right choice. The good thing is that you can use the internet to conduct research quickly.Finding a specialized custom metal fabricator isn’t that difficult nowadays, provided you do your research correctly.
Another crucial thing to deliberate on when picking custom fabrication manufacturer is experience. Ideally, you should work with a company that has been around for several years. In addition, you should choose a firm that has experience in creating the equipment or machinery you want. It is quite risky to choose a firm that doesn’t have enough experience. In the end, if you make a mistake during the hiring process, then you are certainly going to lose time and money resources. If you wish to get quality services, then select firms with years of experience in the trade.
A professional metal fabricator must show his or her certification. You should choose experts who can assure quality because metal fabrication services do not come cheap. Check whether the company is certified by the state before doing any business.
Customer support is a crucial factor that you can’t ignore if you are looking for a quality metal fabricator. Because the process of fabricating metals requires a lot of discussions, means that you must pick a firm with good customer service. Ensure that you have enough time to do research before picking a custom metal fabrication firm. Not every firm that advertises metal fabrication services is an expert. You should be open to getting advice from relatives or friends if you wish the find the best company for your project.

I found from personal experience that one of the resolutions to prostate enlargement is to shrink it. And it is shrinkable by all of medical, herbal and natural means.
I am 69. I was diagnosed with prostatic hypertrophy (prostatic enlargement) at the age of 48, one of the youngest patients known to many practitioners. In retrospect, I thank God I did not submit to surgery when it was first suggested and I have not ever since. I know of a few who did it in undue hurry, a few who got wounded as a result, and a few who did not survive it. I have experienced 9 of all 10 symptoms of prostate enlargement and irritation. I worked with my doctors by way of understanding the decease and using both orthodox and herbal methods to tame it.
I am not a doctor and I do not make claim to solving medical problems but I have advice to give and a suggestion to make to deal with prostate enlargement and irritation in men.

The Aspen Forum for Community Solutions and Neighborhood Funders Group will gather national, regional and local funders to a convening on best practices in place-based projects. This conference will explore best practices that allow communities to remain at the center of place based projects.
As place based efforts continue to expand, the relationship between philanthropy and community must evolve and change. For community change efforts to be successful, the people who live there must be central to the design and implementation because place is about the people who live and ultimately thrive there. This gathering will provide the opportunity to learn about practices, policies and models for creating places that are just and responsive to the needs of those that live there.
• Explore strategies and skills for improving grantmaking practice.
The agenda will be posted when available. The meeting will start at approximately 4:00 pm on Monday, September 19, and end around 12:30 pm on Wednesday, September 21.
This meeting builds on previous convenings, Towards a Better Place: A Conversation about Promising Practice in Place-Based Philanthropy in September 2014 and Is this a Better Place: The Art & Science of Place-Based Evaluation in October 2015.

text: Placental insufficiency, maternal malnutrition, and other causes of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) can significantly affect short-term growth and long-term health. Following IUGR, there is an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes. The etiology of these diseases is beginning to be elucidated, and premature aging or cellular senescence through increased oxidative stress and DNA damage to telomeric ends may be initiators of these disease processes. This paper will explore the areas where telomere and telomerase biology can have significant effects on various tissues in the body in IUGR outcomes.

Editor’s note: This new monthly series, “5 Family-Friendly Things,” spotlights five family-friendly entertainment choices on DVD, streaming or television.
Incredibly, that’s what some contestants in the National Bible Bee Competition Show did. The six-week series is broadcast yearly by the National Bible Bee and premiered April 24 on Facebook Live, with a new episode going live each Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern through May.
I watched the debut with my wife and 10-year-old son, not knowing if it would keep his attention. But by the end, he was engrossed in the competition and ready for the next week’s episode.

OK, so your kids brush their teeth twice daily. They may even munch on some breath mints or sugarless gum. Yet there are still times when their breath is odoriferous, kind of like their tennis shoes!
Bad breath can originate from other causes beyond simply a buildup of plaque and bacteria in the mouth. There are reasons that most people don’t even know can lead to bad breath in children and teenagers.
Want a recipe for bad breath? Allow fluids to collect in the nasal passages and the throat with a sinus infection. When this happens bacteria go crazy and get down to multiplying. Brushing won’t do a thing to this type of bad breath, so ask your child if he or she has a sore throat or burning nasal passages. Then call the doctor.
Healthy tonsils should look like a wad of Double Bubble gum and be spot free. Infected tonsils will appear red, inflamed, and have white spots on them. The smell will be less than appealing. Bacteria can collect in the pits of swollen tonsils and create bad breath. Antibiotics will be required to cure this breath, and maybe tonsil removal surgery.
Kids may run around like banshees, but they’re usually not all that concerned with water intake. A lack of water means the mouth produces less saliva, and since part of the job of saliva is to wash away odor-causing bacteria, guess what’s next? Bad breath. This isn’t excessive parenting, either, getting your kid to drink more water. Hydration is good and dry mouth is bad. Beyond bad breath, it can lead to tooth decay.
The other root cause of bad breath could actually stem from poor brushing, just not today. If decay and gingivitis (gum irritation) have taken hold due to lackadaisical brushing, both conditions create bad breath that won’t be remedied by immediate brushing. A trip to see us at Gentle Dental will fix the issues.
See? It may not be the case that your child would rather have a test in school than brush his or her teeth. That may not be causing the bad breath. Still, be sure they’re brushing and flossing regularly, and coming to see us twice yearly for professional cleanings and exams with the team at Gentle Dental. Call us at (989) 773-3560 to make an appointment.

Y’all know I love me some sneakers, and in particular, skater shoes – yes, I’m about that life (minus the actual skating). Loads of designers have added skater shoes to their collections from Céline to Alexander McQueen (ooh rhyming skillz) but Joshua Sanders pretty much built a collection around the sneaker shoe, so obvs I was all up in that collection weaselling around for my favourites and…it didn’t take me long to find them.
I’m mainly obsessed with the brand because of how perfectly street they are – they’re the perfect statement sneaker – some are basketball team orientated with special Lakers pairs and Knicks pairs, there’s an emerald satin pair with glittering NY letters on the toes, there’s the ‘bowbomb’ pair with huge jersey, mesh or satin bows covering the shoes (very street style photography worthy – love) but my favourites have to be the pairs with slogans on the front of the shoes: Bad Girl, Good Boy, Play Hard or my absolute fave Don’t Touch (#NEED). Did I also mention there’s a pair that looks like a pig and it’s called “Bacon, The Pig”…um, yes.
The brand’s tag line is “Heart in NYC, made in Italy” which is the perfect marriage of creativity and quality, no? What more do you want from a bomb pair of sneakers? The best thing about skater shoes is their versatility – not only do they look cool with a pair of jeans but you can get away with (some of) them for work (as I’m doing right now as I write this on my commute), with a skirt or a dress. So what I’m saying is, it’s like saving money because the shoes are appropriate for everything right? It’s practically a steal when you think about it (this is how I justify purchases in my mind). Moral of the story: Joshua Sanders sneakers are at the top of my sneaker #NEED list.
Joshua Sanders sneakers are available via their online shop (US), FarFetch and Matches Fashion.
What do you think of the brand , because obviously, I’m in love?
Cute shoes. Think they are great for those that follow fashion. Love the NY pair!

A place to include personal reflections and articles that I have found inspiring in one way or another and to share with you for what worth they may be.
Desiderata: A poem/prose about things desired - many find it helpful to find their way in at many times a hectic and absurd world.
Poetry: By Pablo Neruda - It was at that age poetry arrived in search of me.... Because.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines: By Pablo Neruda - About recognition and letting go.... because we can't move forward when we are clinging to the past.
Failing and Flying: From a counselling/mental health perspective, it isn't the event but what we tell ourselves about it that matters. I recall in elementary school the lesson about Icarus disobeying his father, flying too close to the sun, and failing. And yet Icarus did not fail... he flew... he soared!
The Awakening - by Sonny Carroll - A bit of prose about enlightenment when substance becomes what gives life meaning rather than style. One may still value style, but without substance... is it not rather hollow?
The Quitter - by Robert Service. Just have one more try — it’s dead easy to die, It’s the keeping-on-living that’s hard.
Abou Beh Adhem (May his tribe increase) - A poem that illustrates how to make love of God real.
The Worst Day Ever? A matter of perspective.
The Calf Path: How we often will do something out of habit, without ever looking at why, and if there is a better way!

Summary : Take a magnificent leap backwards and travel back in time to the islands that inspired Charles Darwin. Nothing opens up the world—or your imagination—like the Galapagos Islands. Isolated from the world for millions of years, these islands are home to stunning foliage and amazing animals that exist nowhere else. Discover rare species while treating yourself to the creature comforts of an all-inclusive experience. Mild or strenuous excursion options allow you to explore the islands at your own pace while scouting for a plethora of unique wildlife such as blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, and playful sea lions. Experienced on-board naturalist guides certified by the Galapagos National Park will share their knowledge throughout the voyage. While the Galapagos Islands are Ecuador's most famous destination, its capital, Quito, is a remarkable place unto itself. At an altitude of 9,350 feet, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers one of the largest, least-altered, best-preserved historic centers in the Americas. Pre- and post-cruise nights in this lively city of about 2 million people allow you to discover her many churches, restaurants, and museums, both on your own and with guided tours.
After breakfast, you will transfer to the airport for your flight to Baltra, Galapagos. During World War II, Baltra served as a U.S. military base protecting the Panama Canal from enemy attack. Now its cactus-strewn landscapes are home to the region’s main airport and where you will meet the ship. From the airport, it's a short bus ride and Zodiac ride to the ship for embarkation. Enjoy your first excursion in the afternoon.
Space is limited. Sign up for kayaking excurisions on board the ship. Each outing lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour. A naturalist guide will accompany guests on kayaking excursions (12 guests per naturalist guide). Please contact ExpeditionTrips for details.
Round-trip coach class Quito/Baltra airfare; two pre-cruise nights in a shared double occupancy room at the Quito JW Marriott Hotel; one post-cruise night at the Quito JW Marriott Hotel with dinner and breakfast; pre-cruise transfers between Quito airport/JW Marriott; transfers between Baltra Airport/ship; post-cruise transfer between JW Marriott/Quito airport; a full-day guided tour of Quito; afternoon shopping tour to local craft market, time permitting; shipboard accommodations; internet access; room service; onboard entertainment, programs, and lectures; gear on loan (snorkeling equipment, wetsuits, kayaks, binoculars, walking sticks); all meals aboard the ship; meals during the land portion of the package in Quito including all meals on Saturday, plus Sunday breakfast pre-cruise (excluding dinner on the day of arrival in Quito); most beverages on board the ship including select wines, sparkling wines, spirits, soft drinks; bottled water, coffee and teas; all gratuities for on board crew, lecturers, and naturalist guides as well as hotel staff and tour guides in Quito. Inclusions subject to change without notice.

Overview : The Celebrity Xperience is an upscale 48-passenger expedition vessel and a fine choice for travelers who prefer the intimate, comfortable atmosphere and attentive service of a smaller boutique vessel to a larger cruise ship. She is substantial enough to travel the Pacific in comfort and safety yet small enough to navigate remote areas and negotiate inter-island landings with agility.
The vessel features open-air spaces, a Jacuzzi, comfortable cabins, a library, and al fresco dining. 24 spacious staterooms accommodate up to 48 passengers—just half the number usually found on a ship this size. This means passengers can enjoy the generous accommodation of a larger vessel while preserving the atmosphere and exclusivity of a smaller yacht.
Cabin Description : Staterooms feature two lower beds (most convertible to a king) with choice of a soft or firm mattress, an ocean view, desk, thermostat-controlled air conditioning, and luggage delivery at boarding. Guests may enjoy room service (breakfast, lunch, and dinner available upon request) and free Wi-Fi. Plentiful storage space in the bathroom and wardrobe, a flat screen tv, direct-dial telephone, individual safe, private refrigerator, 100% Egyptian cotton linens, hair dryer, and dual voltage 110/220 AC provide familiar comforts. Complimentary use of premium bathrobes, beach towels, snorkel equipment, wetsuits, kayaks, and binoculars* is included.
*Binoculars also available for purchase.
The whole trip was fabulous, my highlights were the interactions with the animals and the knowledge from the naturalists. I especially loved snorkeling with the turtles, the sea lions, and the penguins.The iguanas and the boobys were in a class of their own and the sunsets were spectacular!
I was completely impressed with the staff professionalism and their service. The naturalists were great and their passion for nature showed through.

US President Donald Trump arrives to deliver a statement about missile strikes on a Syrian airfield, at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, April 6, 2017.
Trump has, however, cast doubt on the timing of the possible military action, saying, “Never said when an attack on Syria would take place”.
Worries about a confrontation between Russia, Syria’s big ally, and the West have been running high since Trump said on Wednesday missiles “will be coming” in response to the attack in the Syrian town of Douma on April 7, and lambasted Moscow for standing by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “I don’t know what to do”. “On a strategic level – is how do we keep this from escalating out of control”, he said.
“I’m not ready to speculate that that would happen”, Mattis said.
More practically, at the United Nations, Russia´s diplomats vetoed a USA motion to re-establish an global investigation into chemical weapons use in Syria that could have established blame.
However, in an increasingly complex conflict involving many foreign players, “Western strikes also risk playing into a regional war that is centred on Iran”, warned Julien Barnes-Dacey from the European Council on Foreign Relations in London.
Washington, Paris and London have nevertheless insisted that their own secret intelligence points to Assad’s guilt, and on Friday, a U.S. spokeswoman said they had “proof”.
He said that because the U.S. had no personnel at the site of the suspected chemical attack on Saturday, it has no hard evidence of what happened, although he personally believed it was an “inexcusable” use of chemical weapons. Khairullah is active with the Syrian American Council, a group that has called for the United States to destroy Assad’s air force to prevent more fly-over bombings.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesperson Steffen Seibert told a news conference on Friday that Damascus had a record of using chemical weapons and that there were “strong indications pointing towards the Syrian regime” in this case.
Asked about the risk of confrontation with Russian Federation, an ally of Syria, Khairullah said the United States should consider potential conflicts. “There’s enough verification that the Syrians dropped chemicals out of helicopters in barrels using the type of nerve agent that they like to use on their citizens and it’s a weapon of mass destruction”. British officials said up to 75 people were killed.
Under a 2013 US-Russia deal that averted US-led strikes, Syria agreed to give up its chemical weapons stockpile and sign the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) which bans the use of the toxic gases in warfare. Though the Syrian President and his Russian backers said the incident was caused by an aircraft colliding with chemical weapons on the ground, President Trump responded with military action. We’re trying to get people in there.
A joint US-British-French operation had been launched on Syria.
Russian UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia responded that no one gave the United States or the West “the authority to act as gendarmes, policemen of the world”, and demanded that they “return to the legal fold”. That meant airstrikes, possibly in tandem with France and other allies that have expressed outrage at the alleged Syrian chemical attack, could be launched within hours of a presidential decision.
Russian Federation has demanded further investigation into the alleged chemical attack with foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova saying claims around the attack were fake and warning the West to carefully consider the consequences of their actions.
In the days between the attack in Douma and the US-led response, Washington and Moscow clashed repeatedly in duelling press statements and United States debates.
More practically, at the United Nations, Russia’s diplomats vetoed a USA motion to re-establish an global investigation into chemical weapons use in Syria that could have established blame.
Shanawani said it would be better “if they sit down and agree with each other and talk about it”.

A short intermission from the siege of Fausignac, for a little post on a recent project.
I was given a 'Wild-West' stagecoach - this had potential to be converted to a more 18C style one so I did a trial assembly of parts.
The Duke assures her he will do what he can to help her father; he turns to his generals and asks when assistance can be given..
General von Messing responds that the troops from the Duchy of Fenwick in ducal pay, stationed in the south of the country, can be on the move in a few days time, the rest of the army could be mustered in a couple weeks - after discussion the Duke orders the general to send the Fenwick troops to Moussignac in Pelardon and do what they can to help - the rest of the army to muster to the south of Zomverre's capital in and around Dijkswold.
Meanwhile back at Fausignac, over the last few days the Monrovian infantry and engineers have been busy; most of the line of circumvalliation has been finished despite a small sorty from the east gate which was pushed back quickly by Monrovian cavalry.
The defenders watch as Monrovian troops arrive and take up positions (out of range of the guns)..
taking position opposite is a brigade of infantry - the Volontaires de Noverre..
After much debate between the Duke and his general staff it has been decided that the army will mobilise and muster at Moussignac north of Fausignac near the border with Zomverre. The army is too small to face the whole of the Monrovian army but if the capital is laid siege to by the Monrovians the Duke is confident they will be able to deal with a screening force and disrupt the effectiveness of the siege, hopefully they will get some help from Zomverre.

Speaking of the Spin Problem (below), If Google labels a press release as news, will there be any difference between spin and news? Here’s a little design exercise that shows what a long lever arm Google has become. We start with how bad its current policy is, and imagine how it might help make journalism honest again.
Dan Gillmor, Dave Winer, The Register and many others have objected to Google’s treatment of press releases as the same as news. Google’s well-received Beta News service lists a press release as a peer to a news articles if both are returned by the same search argument. This is A Bad Thing, especially since it’s so hard to tell the difference anyway. But could Google turn the tables and increase its stature with a simple algorithm?
Google knows which sources churn out press releases, and could easily identify any press release by the standard format taught in Press Release 101.
Google can compare text better than anyone else.
If it chose to, Google could categorize and track all press releases.
If it chose to, Google could append a styled “PR” next to every press release found in a search.
Google could also identify what portion of a “news story”, published by a so-called news source, is derived from a known press release.
Presto! Google becomes part of the solution and exposes how little of “news” is newsworthy.

Malcolm Gladwell's new book What the Dog Saw, a compilation of some of his favorite New Yorker pieces, has drawn both praise and criticism. Personally, I'm not a big Gladwell fan. Shoot me. I'm told he's an interesting person. And he knows how to tell a good anecdote. But, at the risk of oversimplifying my critique of his work ... he oversimplifies.
The general thesis of Blink, for example, was "trust your gut ... except when you shouldn't." Okay ... but why can you trust your gut sometimes, but not others? What does that tell us about what "gut" instinct really is? And what does that mean in terms of how we process information in the world? And what do we do with that knowledge? The really interesting points are left dangling. Why? I don't know, but I suspect it's because they're complex and not easily summarized ... and might muddy the simple and easily-grasped ideas or conclusions that are a trademark of Gladwell's work.
If I'm not a fan of Gladwell, it's because I want to see robust logic behind an argument, depth to its exploration, and acknowledgment of the complexities and contradictions it may entail. Simple, neat answers don't appeal to me, because they don't resonate with what I've experienced in the world. But clearly, I'm an outlier in that regard.
Judging from the sales of not only Gladwell's books, but the plethora of "3 step," "7 habits," "9 insights" and other success-formula books on personal and business improvement, there's an almost ravenous hunger in the world for simple answers on how things work and how to get the game right. And that hunger has only gotten more intense as the world has gotten more complex.
It's an interesting phenomenon. Surely one part of our brain knows that the world, or even the world of business, is more complex than the raft of simple, success-formula books promises. And yet, like a woman who, despite multiple failed affairs, convinces herself that this married man will surely leave his wife, we ... or at least a good number of us ... keep buying the fantasy. We keep being drawn to simple-sounding answers and solutions--to the tune of almost $13 billion a year. Even when, or perhaps because, they don't pan out to be true, as a writer for The Economist pointed out in a recent column.
"The Three Habits ... of Highly Irritating Management Gurus" takes the writers of those "3-step" and "7-habits" books to task on several fronts. First, for repackaging stale ideas as breakthrough insights. Second, for using seemingly "model firm" anecdotes to prove their points without a lot of rigorous research--anecdotes that often prove embarrassingly untrue several years down the road. And third, for ... well, peddling those "three habit" success-formula lists and prescriptives.
But "the most irritating thing of all about management gurus," the author writes, is that "their failures only serve to stoke demand for their services. If management could indeed be reduced to a few simple principles, then we would have no need for management thinkers. But the very fact that it defies easy solutions, leaving managers in a perpetual state of angst, means that there will always be demand for books like Mr. [Stephen] Covey's."
Ironic, but true. If writers come up with list-based solutions, and oversimplified trends or observations, it's because there's a far larger audience for that kind of book than one titled, "Some interesting ideas that might prove useful to think about as you make your way through a very complex world."
But why is that? One would think that we'd rather have a book that offers realistic assessments and thoughts on the tough choices and complexities we face than simple panaceas that sound terrific or comforting but describe a world that bears little resemblance to the mess we generally find ourselves navigating.
If we don't, it's at least in part because humans are just so uncomfortable with ambiguity. There are all kinds of psychological studies on that point. We desperately want there to be a pattern, an orthodoxy, a model, or a formula we can simply implement or follow to find our way back to safe, clear, and happy endings. Even if we're told that real wisdom, strength and growth come from figuring it all out for ourselves, as we go.
What's more, this tendency may be getting stronger in the next generation. I interviewed a business school professor yesterday who told me that she thinks MBA students today have a far lower tolerance for ambiguity than students she taught 20 years ago. She attributed the shift to the fact that many of today's students grew up with tightly scheduled lives and activities, leaving them little experience in exploring the world without structure, expectations, or guidelines. I think another factor may be the pressure they feel to achieve and get the "right" answer.
But whatever the reasons are, if her observation is true, then it's cause for concern. Because there are dangers to oversimplification, as recent events in both our economy and Iraq have painfully reminded us. No matter what we might like to be true, successful leadership in an increasingly complex world is going to depend not on condensing it to simple terms, or finding the right prescriptive formula, but on getting comfortable enough with ambiguity and complexity to see a way through it. One thoughtful, creative and unique step at a time.

David Bailey (born January 2, 1938 in Leytonstone, London) is a celebrated and famous English photographer. In the 1966 film Blowup the character of the London fashion photographer was largely based on Bailey.
In 1959 he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio before being contracted as a fashion photographer for Vogue magazine in 1960. He also did a large amount of freelance work.
Along with Terence Donovan, he captured, and in many ways helped create the Swinging London of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. Both photographers socialised with actors, musicians and royalty, and found themselves elevated to celebrity status. Together, they were the first real celebrity photographers.
"She was magic and the camera loved her too. In a way she was the cheapest model in the world - you only needed to shoot half a roll of film and then you had it. "She had the knack of having her hand in the right place, she knew where the light was, she was just a natural."
The Swinging London scene was aptly reflected in his Box of Pin-Ups (1964): a box of poster-prints of 1960s celebrities and socialites including Terence Stamp, The Beatles, and notorious East End gangsters the Kray twins (see photo).
One of the most notable points about the portraits within the box is that Bailey cut off the tops of the subject's head or cropped in closer than most traditional portrait photographers would have done at the time. This gave an impression that the pictures were bigger than they actually are, and has since become a common practice in portrait and fashion photography.
In 1966, the movie Blowup was made, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. The film concerned itself with the work (and sexual perks) of a London fashion photographer played by David Hemmings and was largely based on Bailey.
As well as fashion photography, Bailey has been responsible for record album sleeve art, for performers including The Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull. He has also directed several television commercials and documentaries.
One of Bailey's most famous works depicts the Rolling Stones. It features Brian Jones, who drowned in 1969 while under the influence of drink and drugs. He is seen standing slightly apart from the rest of the group.
In 1976, Bailey published Ritz Newspaper together with David Litchfield.
Bailey was awarded the CBE in 2001. and has worked with Manchester band Oasis, boxer Naseem Hamed and Supermodel Naomi Campbell.
In 2005, he was involved in a feature titled "British Rule" for GQ magazine, charting the British influence on rock n' roll, photographing several artists including Paul Weller, Jarvis Cocker, Razorlight, Brian Eno, M.I.A., Ian Brown, The Futureheads, Belle and Sebastian, Damon Albarn, Dizzee Rascal, Kaiser Chiefs, Robyn Hitchcock, Super Furry Animals, and Colin Blunstone for the spread.
He maintains that his style of photography remains the same.
"I've always tried to do pictures that don't date. I always go for simplicity,"

text: "How do Russian leaders balance the need to decentralize governance in a socially and politically complex country with the need to guarantee political control of the state? Since the early 2000s Russian federal authorities have arranged a system of political control on regional elites and their leaders, providing a "police control" of special bodies subordinated by the federal center on policy implementation in the regions. Different mechanisms of fiscal federalism and investment policy have been used to ensure regional elites' loyalty and a politically centralized but administratively decentralized system has been created. Asking clear, direct, and theoretically informed questions about the relationship between federalism, decentralization and authoritarianism, this book explores the political survival of authoritarian leaders, the determinants of policy formulation, and theories of federalism and decentralization, to reach a new understanding of territorial governance in contemporary Russia. As such, it is an important work for students and researchers in Russian studies and regional and federal studies."--Provided by publisher.

Right back at’cha, Liberty U.
Front Page » Events » Right back at’cha, Liberty U.
Good ol’ Liberty U., that bastion of narrowmindedness – you wouldn’t expect anything other than to hear that the school has formally revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club, and will subject Liberty U. Democrats who still consider themselves Liberty U. Democrats to possible expulsion.
Whaddya say we do the same thing to Liberty U.?
First to the Democratic Party issue. “The Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine (supports abortion, federal funding of abortion, advocates repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotes the ‘LGBT’ agenda, hate crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity, socialism, etc.),” read an e-mail from Mark Hine, the vice president of student affairs at Liberty, to Brian Diaz, the president of the Liberty University Democratic Party organization.
And so, according to the e-mail, the club must stop using the university’s name as part of its name, can no longer hold meetings on campus and cannot advertise its events to fellow students. Violators of the edict from on high are subject to reprimands under the school’s Liberty Way conduct code and could face expulsion.
“We are in no way attempting to stifle free speech,” Hine told the Lynchburg News and Advance, obviously oblivious to the concept of hypocrisy as he spoke.
He told the paper that the university could not sanction a club that supported Democratic candidates, which brings up a question from me. How can we Virginia taxpayers continue to support with our tax dollars a university that doesn’t follow the basic tenets of free speech and freedom of expression?
Now to what we the people need to say to Liberty U. Liberty U., as a private university in Virginia, participates in the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant program. About 20 percent of Liberty students are eligible for the grants, which are valued in the area of $2,000 a year, meaning they’re not insubstantial to the students or to the school.
It’s clear that the Liberty U. platform is contrary to the mission of the TAG program and the taxpayers of Virginia for the use of their higher-education dollars, which isn’t to advance the cause of the Democratic Party or Republican Party or the right-to-life movement or the choice movement or any party or movement or ideology or line of thought but to promote learning and growth and self-improvement across the spectrums.
It’s time we send this message loud and clear.

Ah Fall, it’s the one season of the year where I’m extremely busy due to work commitments. Luckily the new season of anime is here to help me cooldown from my long days at work.
So far, I’ve found that ZombieLand Saga and SSSS Gridman to be my favorite animes this season, even though I’ve only watched like 5 of the new animes that have come out so far.
Anyways, I don’t want to spoil anything about ZombieLand Saga as I feel it would be more fun to watch the show blind, but I will say that the show was a ton of fun.
S(4) Gridman really gripped me with its interesting shot composition and directing. I just love how uneasy the show made me feel because just all of the actions felt normal, but off. Like how in horror movies where characters know a ghost is in their house, but they can’t see it. I’m excited to see if the anime will pay off on it’s initial set up, but if it doesn’t, I’ll still have fun with the well written characters.
What new seasonal shows have you been watching and what’s your favorite so far?
A new original story unlike the past movie that was a compilation of the series.

The State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by President Cyril Ramaphosa did not offer reassurance to either foreign or local investors, but rather created more reason for uncertainty and concerns.
Minority rights movement AfriForum says the President failed to heed the warnings of major investors in South Africa – as evidenced by the controversial diplomatic memorandum of the USA, UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland that has come to light recently – “by persevering stubbornly with plans for implementing a programme of expropriation without compensation”.
Alana Bailey, Deputy CEO of AfriForum, responded to Ramaphosa’s speech by saying the President clearly ignores the examples of countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe that are now experiencing the disastrous effects of similar programmes, thereby gambling with the future of everyone in the country.
According to Bailey, in his State of the Nation Address, President Ramaphosa suggested that entrepreneurship can be promoted and inequality reversed by means of the redistribution of property, but throughout the world ample proof attests to the fact that the protection of private property rights is the key to economic development.
Bailey emphasised that AfriForum realises that in the months leading up to a national election, state of the nation speeches tend to focus on placating voters and lesser-loyal party members, but taking the current economic crisis faced by South Africa into consideration, especially in terms of the scale of unemployment, corruption and crime, it is disappointing that the President did not display strong leadership by dispensing with populist promises of instant solutions such as expropriation without compensation, but rather forged ahead along this self-destructive path.
“Where human rights such as private property rights were violated, economic growth has never followed, and the victims have consistently been the most vulnerable people who were supposed to have benefitted from such redistribution processes in the first place. All the beautiful promises made by President Ramaphosa in his 2019 State of the Nation Address regarding upliftment programmes, are condemned to failure unless private property rights are protected,” Bailey concludes.

Mobile network operators globally have partnered with network equipment vendors on trials ahead of 5G’s widespread availability in 2020. Yet, in recent months, far more crystallized claims have been made. Following the approval of the 3GPP 5G NR specifications in late 2017, some mobile operators promised to have live 5G networks in place within the next year. Are we in the early stages of evolution to this technology, or is the industry’s current position on 5G more hype than reality?
Despite confidence from US operators, a number of challenges must be addressed before these deployments can truly take shape. Alongside valid comments from T-Mobile’s CTO Neville Ray, who slammed Verizon’s decision to use pre-standard technology, a list of network design concerns, virtualization considerations, and spectrum efficiency questions are flying under the radar, which must be answered before 5G networks can truly go live.
To ensure 5G’s success, operators need to capitalize on the lessons learned from previous network rollouts. The shift from 2G to 3G was a considerable step change in function for the industry. The move from 3G to 4G was more drastic, and 5G will present greater hurdles still.
Each stage of the mobile industry’s evolution until now has been dependent on new infrastructure to soak up heightened data demand and deliver on new use cases, without any real attention being paid to capital expenditure. This is part of the reason why mobile network operators are still looking to recoup their 4G investments. With 5G networks dependent on new hardware and up-front investment yet again, this is where the story needs to change while this new technology is still on the road to widespread commercial implementation.

A detailed description of the Blueprint "Run around a loco.".
Run around a loco requires a decoupling system mounted on the loco. The loco decouples and runs over a parallel track to the other side of the consist to couple it. This enables the possibility to run a train in the opposite direction with the loco at front.
This is of interest for 0 layouts running locos from Lenz, or other reliable decoupler systems.
Run the train in block 2 slowly to prevent having a car on the IN sensor.
Run forwards over switch 1 in the 'short' block 4.
Run backwards, over parallel block 3, to block 1 behind the siding where the cars are waiting.
Run forwards, slowly in block 2 where the cars are waiting, until the car which the loco has decoupled from triggers the in event.
An action chain, triggered by 2c, could do the job with exactly all the actions described in the Sequence paragraph.
