San Mateo - Rioja Wine Festival More than a bull run - Viva San Fermín!
Experiences are there to be shared… And in Spain, when we speak about experiences, we think about Southern Spain, about Andalusia, about the roots of the Country, and as such we are bound to share with you all about Andalusian fairs.
The Andalusian fairs have special significance for the cultural elements that contribute to the region’s culture and idiosyncrasy: both those inherited from the original festivals, of livestock and religious origin. All the Andalusian fairs have in common characteristic elements such as the Feria’s gate, ‘feria venues or stands’, Andalusian horses, women dressed in flamenco and of course, Andalusian dance and music.
Fair is tradition, commemoration, fair is to share good moments, fair is fun and joy. Pure joy by day in the city centre and by night at the fairground.
Its history has more than 500 years. The summer festivities of the city have their origin in the commemoration of the incorporation of Malaga to the Crown of Castile by the Catholic Monarchs, who enter the city on August 19, 1487. In 1491, coinciding with the liturgical celebrations of the Cathedral’s chapter house, the City Council established the beginning of popular festivities. It is the year 1887 when, in the commemoration of the IV Centenary of the entry of the Catholic Monarchs in Malaga, they re-emerge in all their splendour.
The August Fair in Malaga has reached our days as the Great Summer Festival, with an open, cosmopolitan and international sense, which reflects the character of the capital of the first tourist area in Europe.
One of the singularities of the Feria currently resides in the division into two areas of entertainment, because although the fairgrounds or Real de la Feria, is located in the Cortijo de Torres, the historic centre of Malaga lives its Fair of day. Therefore it could be said that in Malaga there are 2 fairs, the Day Fair and the Night Fair.
Feel good from the moment you set foot in the chalky sand, in the fairground … Get out your dot’s fan and feel the vibration!
Any excuse is good to visit us, to explore the South, to discover Spain!
Viva Malaga, and its fair!
Discover the Andalusian folklore – Welcome to the Fair of Southern Europe!

A pair of portable, emergency radio stations built for use in Southeast Alaska in the event of tsunami or other disaster are being deployed in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.
Engineers from the Latino Public Radio Consortium and WNYC install “Radio to Go” in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Radio to Go was designed and built by public radio stations in Southeast Alaska for use during emergencies, and are likely the only fully-portable units of their kind in the world.
Nicknamed “Radio to Go,” the kits were designed and built by engineers in the CoastAlaska Network following the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Housed in Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan, the Radio to Go kits are believed to be the only three fully-equipped emergency radio stations of their kind in the world.
The Radio to Go kit from Juneau was shipped by Alaska Airlines to Newark, New Jersey, on October 9. (Learn more, and watch a video about the kit here.) It was received by a bilingual engineer from New York’s public radio station WNYC, who took it to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Members of the Latino Public Radio Consortium met the kit, and have begun broadcasts from the site of station WIPR, whose transmitter tower was toppled by Hurricane Maria last month.
Sitka’s Radio to Go was delivered by the staff of KCAW to Alaska Seaplanes on October 13, bound for Juneau, then Orlando, Florida, and then a yet-to-be-named destination in Puerto Rico — likely somewhere in the southern half of the devastated island.
Meanwhile, CoastAlaska executive director Mollie Kabler — who oversaw the construction of the kits with funding from the Denali Commission and Alaska Pubilc Broadcasting Incorporated — says the Ketchikan unit will remain behind in the event of a local emergency.

CCOUC team of 12 visited a remote rural village in Yunnan Province on 25-28 April 2014.
The Guai Village （拐村） of Zhuang minority （壮族） is six hours’ drive away from the provincial capital Kunming in the mountainous eastern part of the province. A health needs assessment trip was conducted earlier in October 2014. Both trips were facilitated by our NGO partner in the province, Partners in Hope, which is helping the village improve the quality of its water supply.
This village is under the threat of landslide and suffers from extreme poverty, with an annual household income of around RMB1,700 (around USD280). The UN national poverty line is USD1.25 per person per day.
Three sessions of health interventions including anti-smoking, oral rehydration therapy and basic hygiene were conducted in the village. Team members included one from the Netherlands and one from Germany.

text: The aim of the article is to decide whether Witkiewicz’s point od view on relation between physical objects and mind depends on the context of his writings: the latter may be of two kinds. The fi rst one is connected with Witkiewicz’s own exposure of his ontology, the second one involves Witkiewicz’s polemical writings. The example taken for the article is Witkiewicz-Whitehead polemics. The main problem is: does Witkiewicz in the polemics refer to his own monadic concept or rather tries to point out that dualism should be thought as undoubted. Firstly, the article contains recapitulation of Whitehead’s denial to divide nature into two separate parts: physical objects and sense-data. The main part of the article involves analysis of Witkiewicz’s presentation of Whitehead’s construction. The analysis lead to the conclusion, that in a substantial part of Witkiewicz’s polemics the author refers to dualism understood as a undeniable ground for any ontological consideration: this way Witkiewicz in the chosen polemics reveals himself as a supporter of dualism.

Our staff members work on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that we’re here to serve you whenever the need arises. If your pet passes at home, contact our office immediately - day or night - to begin the final arrangements process. We can assist with transporting your beloved pet to our facility and determining which final disposition options will best suit your needs.
Pet cremation is a process by which your pet’s body is transformed into ashes through the use of direct heat. Once your pet’s cremated remains have cooled, they will either be returned to you or scattered in a memorial location of your choosing by our staff.
In a private cremation, your pet is the only one placed in the crematory. If you plan to memorialize your pet in a special way, this option is the only one that ensures you receive the ashes of your cherished pet following cremation.
Group cremation, on the other hand, involves the disposition of several pets at once. If you do not need to receive your pet’s individual ashes back, this option allows our staff to either bury or scatter your pet’s cremated remains on your behalf. We do not offer group cremations to the public. We work with the local veterinaries offices to provide those services, which you would need to arrange with only your veterinary.
$275.00 for small animals (cats, smaller breed dogs, birds, rabbits) and $295.00 for large animals (larger breed canines, pigs, goats, sheep).
An urn or casket is not required for the cremation process, though many of our families choose to leave their pets wrapped in a special blanket or other personal item. Following cremation, we provide all of our families with a simple urn, though we have more decorative personalized options available for display. Contact us or browse our website to learn more about the urns and memorial items we have available for purchase.
How long will it be until I receive my urn?
We make it a priority to offer you a quick response following your pet’s death. Not only are we able to respond immediately to your home or veterinary office to begin the final arrangements process, we are able to return your pet’s cremated remains generally within 48 hours of the time of your loss.
Unfortunately, no. There are very few state or federal regulations that apply to pet crematories, which leads to a wide variety in terms of facility quality, staff quality and service quality. It’s important to know we are family owned and operated, open door policy, on site crematory and cemetery with certified operators, 2011 Matthews IEB-20 crematory, prompt removal of pet from the place of death, private visitation room, memorial wall and garden, we also use a customized transportation van that respectfully carries your beloved pet to our crematory. Other facilities transport in the back of uncovered trucks with no respectful handling of your beloved pet. Do you know where your pet is going after their removal? Why trust someone who is not local? Your pet never leaves our care and custody to a third party.
Can my pet have a funeral service?
Absolutely! Just as funeral services help humans to come to terms with their losses, pet memorial services give pet owners the closure and support needed to move forward with their lives in a positive way. We are happy to help design a memorial service that celebrates the unique life your pet lived - whether a festive celebration or a solemn service is more your style. Contact us today to get started with the service planning process.
As experts in the pet loss process, we are here to support you as you begin to cope with the absence of your former friend. Our office offers a “365 Days of Grief & Healing” newsletter that will deliver messages of support directly to your email inbox. Our office is staffed 365 days a year, 24 hours a day with professional pet loss specialists who are ready to guide you through the process of saying goodbye to your beloved friend.

Since the abolition of the Default Retirement Age (DRA) in 2011, it is not permissible for an employer to dismiss an older worker on the ground of retirement unless this can be objectively justified under the Equality Act 2010.
For a set retirement age to be objectively justified, its use must be a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. This is not an easy test to pass, and businesses who do wish to have in place an EJRA are advised to seek legal advice before choosing this option. An EJRA will normally be appropriate for occupations where retirement at a particular age can be justified on health and safety grounds – for example for airline pilots or fire fighters. Employers must provide evidence that the chosen EJRA is necessary – not based merely on assumptions – and be able to demonstrate that no alternative or less discriminatory action could achieve the same result. Employers who choose to use an EJRA must follow a fair procedure, giving the employee adequate notice of their impending retirement and, if circumstances permit, consider any request to work beyond the EJRA as an exception to the normal policy. However, it is important to have procedures in place to ensure consistency of treatment of employees who request to stay on.
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service has guidance on retirement that contains useful advice on a possible framework for workplace discussions that will help identify an employee’s future aims, and gives examples of ways of raising the issue of retirement without asking questions that could be seen as discriminatory.
Contact us for advice on any retirement issue.

Fall has breathed its first gentle sigh upon the Windy City, and yet there is something exotic about Expo Chicago. The Midwestern art fair has opted for a vibrant display of bright, flashy colour. The tone is set (quite literally) by Derrick Adams with Rhona Hoffman Gallery—his Floater 76 features a black woman lying on a California-eqsue pink flamingo buoy—and Tony Tasset at Kavi Gupta Gallery—his rainbow-tainted Mood Sculpture reminds me of Ugo Rondinone’s Miami Mountain which currently sits in front of the Bass Museum, but with smileys instead of rocks. Summer lingers on at Navy Pier, where Expo successfully returned in 2016 under the aegis of Tony Karman.
Speaking of whom… No sooner had the galleries opened than the president of the fair was announcing a partnership with Snarkitecture, which will result in the presentation of an immersive installation called The Beach at next year’s fair. Iván Navarro’s in-situ work at the entrance seems to echo this announcement, although what looked like a glowing pool chair at first, turns out to be a piece of the artist’s Metallic Arm Chairs series.
The New-York-based gallery is also showing fabric-made compositions, including one variation of Naama Tsabar’s Work on Felt, which fits with the irrefutable materiality of Expo’s display as a whole, although this particular ongoing series actually has more to do with hearing—the gazer is invited to pluck the strings on it to create sound—than touch.
This leads us to the Praz Delavallade booth, which features a giant black glove sprinkled with various hues of paint. There are numerous other textiles which are presented simply, as they are. Take Big Mr. Elephant by Margaret Honda at Grice Bench. This installation consists of a tall white board covered with two checked cotton and silk sheets, which looks as though it could have landed quite naturally from a fed-up spring cleaner wrapping up their chores.
Fabric keeps threading its way through Expo. Turiya Magadlela, whose works can be seen at Jenkins Johnson Gallery’s booth, is famous for pinning nylon pantyhose onto blank canvases—stockings represent all the unheard women who have been subject to abuse, a subject which is highly present in the US right now for obvious reasons. Hank Willis Thomas’s compositions look far more comfortable—his duvet-based patchwork with a reproduction of Matisse’s Icarus on it is shown with Maruani Mercier Gallery.
Other tributes are worth mentioning in passing. Given my French roots, I could not help but notice Liu Bolin’s Hiding in the City at Edwynn Houk Gallery. This print was inspired by Eugene Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People. Similarly, Vik Muniz’s Apples, Peaches, Pears and Grapes was made explicitly made “After Cezanne”. As for The Practice, Take One by Dutch artist Folkert de Jong with Marc Straus, it resembles Degas’s Little Dancer of Fourteen Years Old, except that the former sculpture is made of wood and wears a skirt in pigmented polyurethane.
There are also numerous garment-oriented pieces. Esmaa Mohamoud’s One of the Boys, showing with Georgia Sherman Projets, could be the work of a fashion designer. Who would not want to try on this Chicago Bulls jersey extended by a scarlet pannier? Although I am more of a tennis and baseball fan myself. In Faltenwurf (Oliv), a photograph by Wolfgang Tillmans which is showing with David Zwirner Gallery, a pair of pants are seen drying off on a heater. While some artists include clothes in their works, others try to convey the impression of fabric through their technique. For Aesyle, Dan Colen had a page from a clothing catalogue enlarged just to be able to paint over it. The picture shows a pile of folded sweaters, which symbolizes the transition of this usually non-materialist artist into adulthood. James Cohan Antonio Santín’s oil on canvas Coral Greed, shown with Marc Straus, looks like a creased Provençal tablecloth.
More than textile, Expo is about texture. Some paintings show rare density. Known for slow-paced, body-focused performances, Donna Huanca places the body at the centre of her work. And it’s true there is something organic about her Yveando, one of Peres Projects’ picks. This oil on canvas really seems to have a body, a skin, a life of its own. Darrell Roberts’s Open Window at McCormick Gallery is marked by even broader brushstrokes, the palpable flow of which conjure the image of a tumultuous flamboyant sea.
Abstract geometry thrives in a great deal of the works, whether they are two- or three-dimensional. Ben Tinsley’s Pipe Dream at McCormick Gallery, Federico Herrero’s Parlante at James Cohan and Franz Ackerman’s Going Nowhere at Templon, for instance, are powerful graphic compositions which do not fail to catch the eye. Though somehow symmetrical, Katsumi Nakai’s series of acrylics on plywood at Ronchini Gallery defies description. Holton Rower’s psychedelic paintings at The Hole are shaped like oysters, whereas Miguel Florida has lent the mollusk’s colour to a diamond-cut monochrome called Our Bond.
And materiality is matched by verticality. We are in the United States, the county of skyscrapers, after all. While a majority of sculptures stretch up to the sky, numerous paintings appear on long, rather than large, canvases. Brian Wills’s Tomato Red, Blue, Turquoise, Lime Green and Yellow and Helen Frankenthaler’s Mirror are cases in point. A relatively small version of Laura Asia in White by Jaume Plensa almost meets the ceiling. John Storr’s Study in Form No. 1 from Richard Gray Gallery could pass for a sacred totem. Stuart Shave/ Modern Art is home to a stick-like sculpture by Ricky Swallow.
Expo Chicago, which takes place in the impressive-looking city partly designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, certainly makes a strong statement.

With public exams successfully despatched most pupils will now be breathing a relaxed sigh of relief and heading into a peaceful and well deserved summer holiday. Not so for all. Our team of fourteen boys and girls from Kings Bruton are instead embarking upon what for most of them will be the greatest challenge of their lives to date. Having signed up for the Kings Gap Year Programme which ultimately will take them to serve in one of Indias largest orphanages, our team begins its summer with a sponsored ascent of the two highest peaks of North Africa.
Mt Toubkal, in the High Atlas mountains of central Morocco, rises to an impressive 4167m above sea level. We intent to summit this peak and its majestic neighbour, Mt Ouanoukrim (4088m), on consecutive days in order to achieve a fundraising target of 2500 per pupil. The challenge is tough but certainly achievable as previous Kings teams have demonstrated. The trek begins at Oukaimeden, a picturesque winter-time ski resort, but in July our blisteringly hot high altitude set-off accompanied by two qualified Berber mountain guides and a train of mules and muleteers. Trekking for 5 to 7 hours a day we will make their way through the regions stunningly beautiful valleys and passes with regular ascents and descents for acclimatisation purposes. Acute Mountain Sickness, although more serious at higher altitudes, can be a problem for climbers at any height over 3000m and wise route planning will give us every chance of acclimatising well.
After three days trekking we reach the Neltner base-camp where we set up home for the next three nights. Home means small domed two-man tents dotted around the barren, arid and rocky landscape surrounded by 4000m-plus peaks. In the evenings after enjoying wholesome Berber cooking, we exchange songs in the small mess-tent with the muleteers. They offer us evocative and timeless shepherding songs, whilst we reply with The wheels on the bus and other great British classics!
On summit day we will rise early and set off up the vast scree and boulder field that all Toubkal summiteers remember. Then its up, higher and higher, to reach the ridge from where we make our final drive for the summit. The air is thin, temperature cold and the ground underfoot very unstable. At the summit, after congratulations all-round, well sit and remind ourselves of the orphans in Tamil Nadhu for whom we reached our goal. Then, if the haze is thin, well gaze in wonder at the view south, all the way to the Western Sahara, and north as far as the Mediterranean Sea. The descent via the North route then takes us back to Neltner base-camp past the famous wreckage of a post-war aeroplane which crashed carrying gold bullion, and the scant pile of stones through which climbers can still see the bones of the pilots where they were laid to rest so many years ago.
Mt Ouanoukrim, the second highest peak in North Africa, is our next days goal. More of a technical ascent, and frankly more frightening, this will be a particularly challenging day offering the reward of a breathtaking view across to the Toubkal summit we will have reached the day before. An optional third peak branching off from the descent may well attract many in the team, but anyone declining will do so having accomplished more than enough already. The following day we make the long and tiring descent to the beautiful town of Imlil where we bid a sorry farewell to our team of muleteers and board our transport back to the enchanting city of Marrakech where we enjoy a rest day and the sights, sounds and smells of its famous market square, the Djemaa el Fna.
Im so very proud of these boys and girls who are willing to set their sights on greater things. Each tired and blistered step on the mountain will be another step forward for the orphanage. I love watching the growth in each pupils character and maturity almost day-by-day on this challenge and cant wait for the time when they head off to the orphanage after leaving Kings. Its one of my greatest joys and privileges to be able to be there on the station platform in Salem, Tamil Nadhu, bursting with excitement as they arrive with the prospect of the most extraordinary two months ahead of them on their journey that began in the foothills of the High Atlas mountains in July 2010.

Warrior heroes - real, imaginary and a mixture of both - are deeply embedded in the collective memories and culture of the English, Welsh, Scots and Irish. Boadicea, King Arthur, Wallace, Rob Roy and Henry V still enjoy a powerful hold over the imagination. Britishness has had a sense of collective identity which grew under careful official cultivation during the global struggles of the 18th century and found its most powerful expression during the world wars of the 20th.;Modern war was seen as the ultimate test of a nation's moral and physical stamina, and Britain emerged with an enviable record which underpinned national pride and a sense of superiority that survived well into the second half of the 20th century. This book investigates and examines the part played by war in the making of Britain, embracing the most recent historical and archaeological research.

A Delhi court today granted bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's relative Vinay Bansal in a case related to an alleged scam in the Public Works Department (PWD).
A Delhi court today granted bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s relative Vinay Bansal in a case related to an alleged scam in the Public Works Department (PWD). Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau granted relief to Bansal, a nephew of Kejriwal, on a personal bond of Rs two lakh with one surety of like amount, advocate B S Joon, appearing for the accused, said. Bansal, the son of Kejriwal’s late brother-in-law Surender Bansal, was arrested on May 10 by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB). Three FIRs, including one against a company run by the chief minister’s brother-in-law Surender Bansal, were registered by the ACB in this case on May 9 last year.
Three companies, including Renu Constructions (owned by Bansal, Kamal Singh and Pawan Kumar), were also named in the FIRs. In a complaint, Rahul Sharma, founder of NGO Roads Anti-Corruption Organisation (RACO), had alleged financial irregularities in building a drain in north-west Delhi and accused Kejriwal and PWD Minister Satyendra Jain of misusing their office to grant the contracts to Bansal. However, they were not named in the FIR.

This time the hype had it right.
In a performance of raw talent and speed, Justify did something that hadn’t been done since 1882 in winning the 144th Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs. No horse who did not race as a 2-year-old had won the Derby since Apollo did it 136 years ago.
Justify ran the perfect race, breaking alertly and then sitting outside Promises Fulfilled on the lead through a blistering first quarter-mile. Things slowed down a little in the second quarter but by then Justify was looking perfect with no mud on his face over a track that was pelted by rain all day and during the race.
May. 5, 2018, 3:00 p.m.
The final odds are close to being set barring some monster-sized bet of at least a million. Justify will be the favorite. And Audible, My Boy Jack and Mendelssohn will be close as the second favorites. There some movement on longer shots, but nothing that will change much. This is where they are at 6 p.m. local time (3 p.m. Pacific).
May. 5, 2018, 2:03 p.m.
The pool is now closing in on $21 million. The bulletin is that Instilled Regard, who has spent the day at 99-1 (because that’s as high as they will list) has dropped below that mark and is now at 95-1. Other than that, everything is pretty much the same.
Lone Sailor continues to drop. He started the day at 33-1 and is now down to 23-1.
This is where they are at 5 p.m. local time (2 p.m. Pacific).
May. 5, 2018, 1:11 p.m.
The rain that was supposed to be light and over by midafternoon has now turned into a flash flood warning until 6:30 p.m.
The race is scheduled to start at 6:46 p.m.
More than 2 inches already have fallen, and the track is a mess. It’s been downgraded to sloppy. The original hope was that the rain would stop, and officials would be able to rehabilitate the track, but that is becoming less likely.
May. 5, 2018, 1:06 p.m.
The pool is now closing in on $17 million. Justify remains the 3-1 favorite, and Lone Sailor continues to drop. He started the day at 33-1 and is now down to 24-1.
There is still a lot of money out there as bettors wait to see what the track’s conditions will be at race time.
This is where they are at 4 p.m. local time (1 p.m. Pacific).
May. 5, 2018, 12:45 p.m.
May. 5, 2018, 12:30 p.m.
May. 5, 2018, 12:15 p.m.
May. 5, 2018, 12:10 p.m.
Here are the latest Kentucky Derby odds. The pool is now over $13 million and Justify has ticked down to 3-1 from 7-2. The big surprise is My Boy Jack, who has stayed at 5-1 all day after being 30-1 on the morning line. If you try to figure out why Lone Sailor has dropped from 33-1 to 25-1, the biggest change of any horse, you might consider his only win was over a sloppy course by 11 lengths — and it’s been raining at Churchill Downs. This is where they are at 3 p.m. local time (noon Pacific).

Christmas is celebrated with much fervour in the Christian dominant country of Croatia. Here the preparations for Christmas begin early, with the start of the Christian observance of advent four weeks before Christmas. Traditionally Croatian women start baking Christmas biscuits and cakes to start the beginning of the festive season.
Celebrations truly get underway on 13 December, where many families plant wheat seeds in a plate. The plants then grow to be about 8 inches tall by Christmas Eve and then are tied together with a red, blue and white ribbon called trobojnica. Some families place a candle in the middle of the straw, with the belief that the glow that shines through the wheat represents the soul within every person.
This year, a special event was added to the Croatian Christmas calendar. The Christmas Light of Wishes event was held in Zagreb outside of the National Library. The event was described as a “gathering of good-hearted people”, during which participants release a small sky lantern into the sky.

When I got a new Compact Flash Card (Sandisk Extreme pro UDMA6) I formatted it using my Laptop (Win 10). I did both a quick format and a longer format. My camera keeps saying the card isn't formatted. When I try to format using the camera itself it says this card can't be formatted. I'm ready to start losing what little hair I have left over this. This is the final hurdle I have to clear before I can finally start taking pics with this camera.
Please help me if you can. Don't know what to do next.
Might be worth looking into the cameras card slot to make sure there are no bent or damaged pins in there, otherwise it could be a fault within the camera or even a faulty card. Bear in mind that if you bought the card online then there is a good chance that it is cheapie card thats been relabeled.
When you formatted on your computer did you keep the card FAT 32? depending on the file system type you may have formatted it to something the camera can't recognize.
I wouldn't be worried about the name and speed, that only would com into issue if you were doing video or rapid fire burst mode. I use cards that are a decade old and likely slower than yours. but if you format outside of camera you could have changed the file system. I'm pretty sure canon uses FAT32, id have to investigate to verify.
I don't know what you know about CF cards, but there are a couple of things that you should watch out for when using them. They are meant to go only one way into the camera or card reader. They have a narrow slot on one edge, and a wider slot on the other edge. But without trying too hard, you can push them in the wrong way around. If you do this, you can bend the pins in the camera or card reader. As what has been suggested so far, I check the inside of the camera to make sure that there are no bent pins. If they are undamaged, I would also try another CF card if possible but I wouldn't try formatting it in with your PC, I would let the camera do it.
Thank you very much. Great advice.
I always format my CF cards in the camera. I have just checked one and can confirm that the format is FAT32.
Thank you. I think mine is 32 but formatted in the laptop first. Some concerns about the mbs being faster than the 50D can handle?
The 32 in FAT32 relates to the type of file format not the size of the card. That sounds like 32GB in your case. If the speed of the card is faster than your camera can write, that is not an issue. If the speed of the card is slower than your camera can write then you will just have to wait a little longer for the file to be written.
I have an old 1Ds and it writes very slowly. I have a medium speed card and I save RAW and JPEG and the red light is on for what seems like ages. So, I just wait!
If I formatted the card as FAT32 in the computer would that be why the camera says it can't format the card and to change the card?
In theory, no, it should not matter. There is plenty of advice on the net telling you how to format on the computer. I might have done that sometime in the past but I don't do it now.
Are you using Windows? Windows 10?
Are you able to read the card on the computer via a card reader? If you can then the card should be OK.
What does it say when you right click on the device in File Explorer and then click on Properties?
Mine says Type = USB Drive, File System = FAT32.
If you are using a MAC then maybe someone else can help you.
Great information. I am using Win 10. I will check on this tomorrow. Thanks very much.
I'm not sure to be honest. When I get home I will try again and this time I will check to be sure.
Did you format it to FAT32 or other file systems? There might be a chance that your camera cannot recognize the current file system of the SD card. If you have formatted it to FAT32 successfully via using computer, you can check whether there are some bad sectors on the SD card by running CHKDSK.exe tool in command prompt. To do so, press Win+X, select Command Prompt (Admini) > type chkdsk <drive letter of your SD card> :/f. Or you can totally wipe the SD card using a SD card eraser tool and format it again to check if it can be recognized by your camera afterwards.
Reformatting the CF card should fix the issue if there isn't bent pins or some physical flaw, it sounds like its too new to think the car just crapped out. But to be honest that can happen too. That aside, you should probably work towards having a few cards available. Two working ones would be minimum, you don't want a failure point to be something as simple as you don't have a new memory card in the field if your experiencing issues or it is full, its also especially handy to just switch cards while traveling.
Michael, I read somewhere that the 50D originally could only support CF cards of 8GB or less - newer firmware versions updated the CF card size to al least 32GB. Current firmware for the 50D is 1.0.9 and I believe that the increase in CF size is in FW 1.0.6 and above. I suggest you check your FW level and upgrade if necessary.
Thanks Chip. I will check to see. I think one of my USB cables will allow it to connect via my laptop to download a FW update.
I have not been able to verify what ChipB said above but he may be correct. If your firmware version does not support 32GB cards then that would explain your situation. I suggest that you buy a new 8GB CF card and use that for the firmware update. You might even be able to start shooting with the 8GB card.

Quinoa: the pseudo-grain that has been around for more than 5000 years is your healthy choice for this year.
Although it’s not considered an actual grain, quinoa is very similar to rice and couscous but with more health benefits. It’s completley gluten free and the only “grain” with the 9 amino acids that we need.
Introduced by the Incas in South America (Bolivia, Peru and Chile), quinoa is a very nutritious food, containing more minerals, vitamins, protein and fibre than other grains.
There’s a big variety of quinoa, but the most known and common are the white, red and black.
Abundant in vitamin B2: works as an antioxidant which contributes to fight diseases and aging. It also neutralizes free radicals.
Can help reducing your weight: eating quinoa makes you feel fuller so you will eat less through the day, and when cooked has even less calories. But don´t overeat it of course!
Quinoa can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner and you can find it at healthy food stores or at your hypermarket. It’s very easy to cook and you can use it as a side or main dish.

Not every Obol song is sad or creepy. When Ashton and I first worked on Kicker together, I wrote two very different sets of lyrics for it. The first was about a car crash victim attempting to save her dying friendwhere the “it’s too late, it’s over” had a very different context. The second set of lyrics was, in essense, an upbeat “sieze the day” punch to the nuts, better fitting the song’s drive.
Last updated: Replaced the drums with Josh's drums August, 2012.
Where are you? Make a sound somehow! It's been decided! It's time to leave home, now! We've got the sun outside! My God, I hate this town. Cos when it's over, what do you show for all your efforts, babe? I'll drink the cupfulls of doubt. And when the sun melts, look like a statue, basking in your legacy! On my soul! All the stars and medicine! When we go away, it's too late. It's over. Oh, my friend! All the stars and medicine! When we go away, it's over. End over end. Just make a move toward the door. You're such a fun mess, with a drink in your hand. And it's you. God, it's always been you. Get your coat on. Make a sound somehow! I'll drink the cupfulls of doubt. And when the sun melts, A statue! A statue to you! On my soul! All the stars and medicine. When we go away, it's too late. It's over. Oh my friend! All the stars and medicine. When we go away, it's over. End over end.
From Barry, 2010: Some people, like me, live a bit too much inside their own head. These folks might be happier if they went out and enjoyed life more, and tried a few new things. Thank God for friends, who can show up and yank you out of your comfort zone.

As I was pulling into the Sheraton last month for one of my holiday parties, the valet asked if I needed a cart to load in my equipment. I thanked him and said no, and proceeded to load my equipment onto my own cart.
Although I was flattered by the compliment, I felt they were setting the bar quite low. There’s much more to being a professional DJ than just bringing your own cart.
I was equally concerned about an email a coordinator sent out instructing brides to give the professional DJ a “script” outlining what announcements to make and when.
It also recommended instructing the DJ to use clean edits of the songs, and include the event name, date, address, times, etc. These things are SO basic, if your DJ isn’t already doing this they are NOT a professional DJ.
Your DJ should be having a conversation with you about what you have envisioned, and have the expertise to know how to develop an itinerary that considers ALL your vendors and works with them. A professional DJ will incorporate what you want to hear (and not hear), how much interaction you want, AND adjust the music according to the guest response. If you’re not playing music the guests like, and they leave – a party alone isn’t much of a party.
Make sure your DJ carries backup equipment, is licensed, has liability insurance, and honestly cares about your event (not just getting paid).
For a DJ that cares as much about the success of your event as you do – call Party Pam.

Tucked away at 9 Elm Court in the heart of downtown, the church is a distinctive example of 19th-century vernacular church architecture. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Massachusetts Register of Historic Places, and is a key site on the Upper Housatonic Valley African American Heritage Trail. In 2018, Preservation Massachusetts added the church to its list of Massachusetts Most Endangered Historic Resources.
Clinton Church Restoration was formed in late 2016 by a group of local community members concerned about the fate of the historic property. The church, vacant for two years, had recently been deconsecrated and put on the market. With longtime congregant Wray Gunn serving as chair, the group incorporated as a Massachusetts nonprofit and began fundraising to save the church. Thanks to the contributions of more than 400 donors, we surpassed our initial $100,000 fundraising goal in just five months and in May 2017, we purchased the property.
Now a 501(c)(3), Clinton Church Restoration’s mission is to restore the historic property for adaptive reuse as a vibrant heritage site and visitor center that interprets the life and legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois, celebrates the Berkshires’ rich African American heritage and honors the history of the church and the work of its first female pastor, the Rev. Esther Dozier.
We have been working with key stakeholders, architects, designers, planners, and consultants to develop a plan for the preservation and ultimate use of the property since the beginning. In 2017, community input was gathered from multi-day planning sessions and incorporated into a visioning report and preliminary interpretative plan for the project. A 142-page Historic Structure Report, completed in 2018, documents the building’s social and architectural history, records existing conditions and identifies and prioritizes treatment recommendations. In January 2019, the award-winning firm Huff + Gooden Architects was hired to lead the design team for the restoration.
The preservation of the historic Clinton Church, which is part of a growing movement to preserve African American historic places around the country, has already garnered national attention. In 2018, the National Park Service African American Civil Rights Grants program awarded a grant to Housatonic Heritage for Clinton Church Restoration’s initial stabilization and planning phase. The project has also received a Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund emergency grant from the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and Community Preservation Act funding from the Town of Great Barrington.
Please join us! We invite you to explore this site to learn more about our activities and meet our board of directors and advisory board. Stay updated by adding your name to our mailing list below. Donations to the project may be made here.
The mission of Clinton Church Restoration is to restore and repurpose the historic Clinton A.M.E. Zion Church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, as a vibrant cultural heritage center that interprets the life and legacy of native son W.E.B. Du Bois, honors the 130-year-old history of the church and its first female pastor, Rev. Esther Dozier, and celebrates local African American history and culture.
In November 2016 about 25 people from the community gathered to discuss options for purchasing, restoring, and preserving the history and legacy of Clinton A.M.E. Zion Church in Great Barrington. Present were elected officials, members of the former congregation, local historians, activists, preservationists, civil rights scholars, W.E.B. Dubois scholars, and concerned citizens.
All share a love for the church building, and a desire to see it preserved. This was a strategy meeting and did not include “programming” or discussions on the ultimate use, as there is some urgency to acquire the property and implement some stop-gap measures to prevent further damage from the leaking roof.
A solution for the purchase of the church was proposed, which included creating a new nonprofit organization to hold title to the building (at least through the acquisition/restoration phases) and partnering with the regional nonprofit Housatonic Heritage, which agreed to provide fiduciary services.
Clinton Church Restoration, Inc. incorporated as a Massachusetts nonprofit in November 2016 and received tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status in November 2017.

Sheldon Cuffie, vice president of information risk at Northwestern Mutual, knew cybersecurity was moving up in the world when a board member invited him to lunch.
“Two years ago the chief information security officer (CISO) didn’t attend board meetings, didn’t talk to our leadership team,” he said at the Fusion Executive Summit in Madison, produced by WTN Media.
Blaise Beaulier, vice president for enterprise and support at Northwestern Mutual, said that before Cuffie arrived, the company had been focused on metrics.
As an asset manager and an insurer, Northwestern Mutual is regulated by the Feds and by the insurance commissioners in 50 states, said Cuffie. Some of the regulations or guidelines conflict with each other, but mostly they say the same things in slightly different ways.
Beaulier said he and Cuffie are partnering more closely to cope with the increased speed of change.
“Sheldon can look for best practices and then give them to me with 1,600 people, and we can adopt them.” Joint teams visit any outsourcing facility to examine its security measures.
Also, Cuffie said his organization is not solely responsible for risk.
He recalled a board meeting where he was sitting next to the chairman of a Fortune 500 committee and said that if a state sponsored attacker came after the company, there is nothing he could do about it.
“We could have destruction of financial assets. We have quite a bit of information that is collected during underwriting — we would not want that leaked, so we put additional security around it.” Major breaches of customer information have occurred in health insurance, he added.
It’s going to happen because not everybody takes cybersecurity seriously enough, said Beaulier.
During one exercise when the network was penetrated, Beaulier shut it down; on the same exercise but in a different room, Cuffie kept the network up. They didn’t say how they resolved that difference.
Vendors and even suppliers to their vendors, are coming under scrutiny. Cuffie said he had five people working full-time on third party vendors.
Northwestern Mutual specifies the locations where data can be held, said Beaulier.
“They cannot move it to another location, you cannot have USB ports on your computers, no phones, card access only.” If they have a printer in the development center it has to use colored paper so security staff can spot someone leaving with confidential information.
Banking has changed since the great recession, said Guy Ringle, senior vice president at Associated Bank and director of bank operations. One good outcome is boards are focused on risk and compliance. Board participation in IT strategy is higher than ever, he said, and board members are very interested in the bank’s cyber defense center, a very visible investment.
Associated Bank has to do a scorecard for each critical vendor, said Ringle, including their disaster recovery programs, third party audits and SLA (Service Level Agreement) performance.
The bank has someone in each line of business who is responsible for risk management, said Ringle.

Lahore: The issue of appointment of regular vice chancellors of the two leading medical universities of the province has taken a 'new turn' after the chief minister reportedly finalised the name of Prof Dr Faisal Masood, the Services Hospital principal, for the slot of KEMU VC.
Earlier, Prof Faisal's name was finalised and recommended in the first week of January in a panel of three contenders for the slot of University of Health Sciences by a search committee tasked with the selection of VCs for the KEMU and UHS.
Headed by former federal minister Sartaj Aziz, the committee had interviewed 41 candidates for the two top slots and recommended two panels of three each shortlisted senior medics. For the post of the UHS vice-chancellor the committee had recommended a panel of three doctors namely Prof Dr Faisal Masood, Allama Iqbal Medical College former principal Prof Dr Javed Akram and former dean of Postgraduate Medical Institute Maj-Gen (retired) Prof Dr Muhammad Aslam. While it had finalised names of Professor of Surgery Dr Abdul Majeed Chaudhry, ex-chief executive of Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore, Prof Dr Jawad Sajid Khan and a UK-based Pakistani national senior doctor, Prof Sarwat Husain for the KEMU slot.
However, the chief minister had returned the summary after raising objection to it and directed to revise it.
A senior official privy to the development said that the chief minister had objected to the names of two candidates including Prof Abdul Majeed Chaudhry recommended in the panel for KEMU.
He said Prof Majeed had served as Fatima Jinnah Medical College/Sir Ganga Ram Hospital principal and he was among first three candidates who had secured highest marks in an interview conducted by the search committee.
Prof Majeed was said to be a hot contender for the KEMU slot but the CM rejected him on the 'grounds' that he was shareholder of a private medical college.
The official said according to the laid down policy, objections by any competent authority like chief minister on the two candidates of a panel meant that it (panel) stood disbanded automatically and the health department was bound to re-advertise the post inviting fresh applications.
However, instead of initiating a fresh process for interview, the health department revised the panels in a hurry on its own.
Interestingly, he said, this time the health authorities had recommended only one panel of six candidates for the vacant posts of the both medical universities, putting name of Prof Faisal Masood at the top for the KEMU slot.
"I think the search committee was not consulted before recommending the panel to the chief minister that might create unrest among the other contenders and legal complications too," the official said.
He said legal opinion was not sought as well before recommending all three panels to the chief minister.
The official said Maj-Gen (retired) Prof Dr Muhammad Aslam is close to the run for the top slot of UHS.
Lahore: A guard of the Lahore College for Women University on Monday climbed up a radio transmission tower in protest against termination of his service which he alleged was ordered to create jobs for some favourites of the chief security officer.
Muhammad Nawaz, was among the five security guards who were sacked on the orders of Chief Security Officer Maj Muhammad Mansha (retired) on Feb 1 on 'flimsy' charges.
Nawaz along with his four other sacked colleagues - Ramzan, Muhammad Taj, Hanif and Safdar Mahmood - has been visiting the administration officials since they received termination orders but to no avail.
Nawaz, a father of five, resident of Azad Kashmir, finally got desperate and climbed up the 500-foot high radio transmission tower installed on the rooftop of the varsity's mass communication department and threatened to commit suicide if the termination orders for all the five men were not immediately withdrawn.
He turned down requests of his colleagues to climb down and also of the Rescue 1122 officials who had been called on the spot to handle the situation.
"I went up the tower and gave an assurance to Nawaz that the issue will be again taken up by the varsity administration," a security guard, Safdar, who climbed up the tower to convince his colleague to come down, said.
He said Nawaz at first was adamant but later gave up because of the chilly weather and his fragile health. After being brought down, he was immediately shifted by the Rescue 1122 staff to a nearby hospital.
Safdar alleged Maj Mansha (retired) and security officer Manzoor Ahmad wanted to accommodate some of their relatives by 'creating space' in the security section. The recruitment process was under way these days.
He said they first converted the contract agreement of the five men into daily wages and then sacked them from the post without any 'solid ground'.
Another security guard, Ishaq, said over 30 security men were discharging duties at the varsity on a contract basis. He said they had been demanding a regular status and this irritated the chief security officer and other senior officials concerned.
He alleged the chief security officer first verbally 'suspends' guards for some months and then misappropriates their salaries for the period without bringing the matter to the notice of the varsity administration.He said Nawaz was the sole breadwinner of his family and had been denied salary for the last three months.
When contacted, Maj Mansha denied the allegations and termed Nawaz's act a drama to cover up his 'negligence'.
He said he had suspended contract of three security guards for 'violation of discipline' and 'poor performance', adding they were sacked following the set procedure.
"If security guards are not sincere to their duty, the punishment or termination is the only solution. So I terminated them", he said and also rejected allegations of misuse of guards' salaries saying it was the job of a different varsity department and he had nothing to do with the process.
He said the process of fresh recruitment against seven vacant posts at the LCWM was going on.
Earlier in last September a Model Town Society (MTS) employee had resorted to similar mode of protest and climbed up a high-voltage electricity pole near the residence of PML-N president Nawaz Sharif at Model Town after being transferred.
Similarly, around a dozen rickshaw drivers went up high-voltage electricity poles at Babu Sabu in March 2012 after a traffic warden allegedly misbehaved with one of them.
Civil Lines police arrested Nawaz and Safdar on Monday night from their quarters situated on LCWU premises.

''Team Orion, The Fight For Freedom'' having also worked on the set of ''The Saddle Club''.
The Start of Edward's Career: Having been inspired at a young age from the movie/series 'Stargate' to become an actor, Some friends and Edward got together to perform as the SG-1 team. As usual Edward would perform the role of Colonel Jack O'Neil and his other friends playing Tilk, Daniel and Samantha from the SG-1 team. Undertaking their own missions carried out at a park and used water pistols as weapons. Just like what takes place today in their filming but with special effects.
In his younger years Edward became a very respectable scout leader. Learning new skills and making new friends and nearly earning every badge that was possible within the scouts, all of them of the highest level.
Primary School for Edward had its ups and downs but Edward said he would do it all again if he could because of its simplicity. In year 7 he wrote a musical song for a teacher 'Ms Jessarowski' which originally started out as a poem. This song was the first in his life that was completely written on his own and popular.
In Edward's first year of College he caught up with an old friend John Haydon that he'd met at another friend's birthday party. Now great friends and working together. John became EJsFilms Assistant Director. That year Edward formed a group and started writing scripts and stories and after began filming. Some accidents occurred and the video turned out fuzzy but it still had a meaning. During mid year College Edward filmed a year 7 Graduation and came up with the Trademark EJsFilms.
During the 6 February 2004 Edward and his band The Stars of Orion® released their first Album. Edward then later successfully graduated from College also receiving certificates in Music Technical Production, Business, Media and Animation & Visual Effects.
On the 6th of February 2006 EJsFilms first independent movie was released "Team Orion, The Fight For Freedom". In the production of this movie Edward was the Director and performed the character "Colonel Peter Jackson". Edward was also fortunate to release a second Music Album and because his band held of on studio time was able to go on tour as The Stars of Orion®. An interactive website has also been set-up. During February Edward work with the theatre Company "Carnival Night Shakespeare" in their production of "Montparnasse 1919" during the Adelaide Fringe performing as a French waiter. On the 11th of August 2006 The Stars Of Orion released their first single "Wonderful".
"Sometimes we have to let go of the things we love and wish to hold onto forever but as we all know something's just don't last forever. In memory of those loved in time together and not forgotten" quote from Edward.

The 3 Day Military Diet Plan Review: Is It Really Worth It?
There is a reason I have categorized the Military Diet in the “short term solution” category instead of the Nutrition one. That is because it is NOT a nutritious nor healthy plan to follow for more than a few days at a time. With this diet, you are eating less than 1000 calories per day and that is borderline starvation. But, alas, this diet is popular for those wanting to shed as much weight as possible in 3 days. So the question is, can the Military Diet actually help you lose weight? And how hard is it to follow? Let’s dig in.
I get it, some times there are emergencies. A Christmas party might be coming up or a wedding. And you have no idea why you can’t fit your favorite black dress. (It didn’t have anything to do with eating your kids’ Halloween candy, surely!) Sometimes drastic situations calls for drastic measures. But keep in mind, I do not recommend fad diets like these for long-term weight loss. It is painful. Trust me. I did this for you guys, so here it goes!
Over the next three days, you will be eating very small quantities of food. There are three “meals” each day. (I write meals in quotations, because they are so small, they can hardly be considered one!) In addition to these meals, there are no snacks allowed. There are some other “fillers” you can have (like celery and herbal teas) which I will discuss later on.
Yes, ice cream! The best part of the diet. Remember you can ONLY have vanilla ice cream. Don’t go loading up on Ben and Jerry’s double fudge. Plain vanilla is much lower calorie than other varieties. Stick to this as stated!
You can prepare this as you please: hard-boiled, poached, scrambled, etc.
Seriously, that’s your lunch. Horrible, right? If you want to add a sliced tomato, feel free. There are very little calories in a tomato and it wont hinder your results whatsoever.
There you have it! You did it. The hardest part of the diet is making it through until the following morning. Because after eating so lightly all day, you WILL be hungry.
Can I Eat or Drink Anything Else?
Going three days eating next to nothing will be a challenge. A lot of people give up after day two because it is just too excruciating, especially if you are used to a high carb diet. There are some “Freebies” you can enjoy while on this diet. But don’t get too excited, they are nothing special!
All of the above are low in calorie and contain fiber which will help you feel more full than you would without it.
I know it seems like it shouldn’t be a problem to have a few cans of diet coke. But aside from all the reasons artificial sweeteners are bad for you, they will just make you crave MORE sugar. Diet sodas stimulate your appetite and you’ll feel ravenous a few hours later and want to eat carbs and sugar galore.
Instead, if you are craving that crisp carbonated drink – go for Perrier water or unflavored sparkling water. Then add some freshly squeezed lemon and Stevia as a sweetener. Stevia doesn’t stimulate your hunger the way other sweeteners will and you’ll feel like you’re drinking a sweet lemon soda.
Avoid alcohol at all costs!
Alcohol is full of empty calories and this will destroy all your efforts. Stick to the drink options above or you won’t see the results you’ve worked so hard for.
Overall, this diet is my personal version of hell. I eat every 3 hours like clockwork, so this was a challenge. I did drop 5 pounds after doing the diet though, so it does work if you commit to it. However, if you aren’t careful, you will regain this weight quickly. If your goal is to lose weight before a big event, party or special occasion, this is definitely a great option.
My stomach was much flatter after this diet and that is likely due to being less bloated. Eating a lot of carbs or foods that produce gas can make your stomach appear larger than it is. So if you need to fit into that tight black dress, you will look a lot leaner after 3 days of eating minimally.
Should I Exercise While on The 3 Day Diet?
When you are trying to lose weight quickly, you might be tempted to go on a super calorie restrictive diet like this one and also exercise like a maniac to accelerate your progress. However, this isn’t a good idea when you are eating so little. The military diet is basically like a 3 day fast. If you start doing high intensity cardio exercises or going for an hour long run, you will NOT have the energy you need. Your body will feel fatigued and you might even pass out from exhaustion and hunger.
This isn’t to say that you should be sedentary or bed bound for 3 days. There are some forms of exercise that will benefit you and also not exhaust you the same way high intensity training will.
This diet only lasts for three days. Do NOT begin another 3 days of this diet after completing your first three. You will cause irreparable damage if you do. If your body becomes accustomed to eating under 1,000 calories a day, it will make it much harder for you to lose weight in the future. Your body will cling to its fat stores as it “panics” and goes into starvation mode.
What you need to do is return to a normal healthy diet of at least 1,200-1,500 calories. This will help you maintain your weight loss and continue to lose more weight at a normal and healthy pace. Slowly start to introduce carbohydrates into your diet but don’t over do it.
Well, it’s no brainer that I hate this diet. Was it worth going through to lose 5 pounds? No. But if I had a beach party or a hot date and really wanted to look good in my outfit, it would definitely be a good option. I personally prefer to eat healthy 90% of the time to avoid having to do these drastic diets. Getting fit and losing weight needs to be a constant lifestyle change. Extreme diets might help you get extreme results but these results won’t stand the test of time. You need to eat sensibly, exercise regularly and treat yourself on occasion. The military diet might help you lose up to 10 pounds, but a balanced lifestyle will help you keep it off!
You didn’t mention drinking any water. I think it would have helped you lose more weight….
Oops! I drank at least 8 glasses of water a day. Forgot to add that in!
So did I, I followed this religiously, and lost only 4 lbs! What a joke!
Brutal right? And those three days of eating practically nothing made me so low energy/miserable too. Definitely not worth it!
What if you don’t like Tuna?
Hey Sharon, you can substitute a can of tuna for 3-4 ounces of skinless chicken breast or any other lean meat.
Did the weight stay off or did you immediately gain it back? I’m always curious with these types of diets how much is just water weight that comes back on overnight.
Hello Hali! If you continue to eat healthy afterwards and not go over your calorie limit for the day, you’ll keep most of it off. But I did gain back 1-2 pounds of the weight lost after about a week, so I attribute that to water weight.
Can you drink seltzer water?
