In most of the years since World War II, life expectancy in the U.S. has inched up.
If only the good die young, Americans are unfortunately getting better.
U.S. life expectancy dipped by a little more than a month last year from 2014, to 78.8 years, according to a report from the National Center for Health Statistics. It's the first decline in more than two decades. And after years of gains, U.S. life expectancy has been essentially flat for a few years, which means an inauspicious trend could be in the works.
The decline "could be a blip, but even if it’s flat, we have a real problem," said Jonathan Skinner, a professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice.
The culprits for our declining years, the report says, were increases in mortality from heart disease, chronic lower respiratory diseases, unintentional injuries, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, kidney disease and suicide. Not surprisingly, that group plus cancer and the flu make up the top 10 causes of death in the U.S.
Report author Jiaquan Xu said the decline is the first since 1993, when AIDS and a brutal flu epidemic swept the nation. This time, he says, the cause is not so clear.
He did highlight a 3% increase in "unintentional injuries." The heading includes, among other things, traffic accidents and drug overdoses — both of which often involve relatively young victims whose deaths can have a strong impact on the numbers.
Still, heart disease and cancer are the runaway top killers. The death rate from heart disease increased almost 1%. The death rate from cancer actually fell 1.7%.
"Obesity has to be a major factor," said S. Jay Olshansky, a public health researcher at the University of Illinois School of Public Health. "Heart disease, stroke, diabetes — the impact of obesity is across the board. And people are living long enough to show the long-term effects."
Gender matters. For males, life expectancy fell to 76.3 years from 76.5 years. For women, life expectancy decreased to 81.2, down about a month from 2014.
"My major concern is that we know the exact cause of the fall in life expectancy — mortality is rising across a wide variety of illnesses," said Skinner, who was not involved in the study. "It’s not entirely easy to figure out what to do about it."
The march toward a higher life expectancy has been pretty consistent for decades thanks to gains in medical and public health knowledge. And, big picture, the news isn't all bad. Babies born in 2015 are still expected to live about two years longer than babies born in 2000 were expected to live. And a 2015 baby's life expectancy is more than 10 years longer than what those who joined the world in 1950 faced.
The latest numbers technically mean someone born in 2015 is expected to live an average of 78.8 years, although those who turned 65 in 2015 had brighter prospects. If you made it that far, you're expected to live an average of another 19.4 years.
For the record, there were more than 2.7 million U.S. deaths in 2015, 86,212 more than the previous year and a 1.2% age-adjusted increase. That's the first significant increase since 1999, Xu said. Again, he could provide no definitive reason why.
The United States ranked 43rd out of 224 countries for life expectancy in the CIA World Factbook 2015. Leading the pack by far was Monaco, with an estimated life expectancy of 89.5 years. Japan, Singapore, Macau and San Marino rounded out the top five. Most of Western Europe also ranked ahead of the U.S.
Skinner noted that the U.S. is spending 18% of GDP on health care.
"If we’re not getting continued improvement in life expectancy, then perhaps we should redirect some of that towards raising workers’ take-home pay ... and improving educational opportunities," Skinner said.

The usage of shifts in MLB has exploded this season. Teams are on pace to combine for more than 13,000 shifts on balls in play this year, up from just over 8,000 a year ago. Front offices and field staffs are shifting their defensive infield alignments as a result of sophisticated batter ball-in-play tendencies to identify the areas on the field batters are more likely to hit grounders and short liners (the batted ball types that are most affected by the shift).
Sluggers David Ortiz, Chris Davis, Brian McCann, and Prince Fielder are four of the seven most shifted hitters since 2011. It comes as no surprise that teams are shifting these hitters given their public perceptions as power-hitting lefties. But what is interesting is the rate – determined by dividing shifted plate appearances by plate appearances with clear video of the defensive alignment of infielders – at which these hitters are being shifted against this season and the effectiveness of those shifts against them.
Perhaps no player in today’s game is more associated with shifting than Red Sox designated hitter, David Ortiz. Only Ortiz has ranked in the top five in most shifted plate appearances during the last three seasons, including through April 29 of this season. In 2012 and 2013, teams shifted Ortiz 82 percent and 88 percent, respectively. This season, Ortiz has been shifted on 97 percent of his plate appearances. That leads MLB.
Last season facing the shift, Ortiz batted .250 on his grounders and short liners. While it is still April this season and the sample size is small, Ortiz is struggling this season hitting only .138 on those types of balls in play against the shift. Teams have virtually eliminated the opportunity for Ortiz to face a normal infield defense. Ortiz’s battle against the shift will likely continue as the season progresses, and the Red Sox have yet to face the Tampa Bay Rays, the team who shifted him the most last season.
The breakout star of the 2013 season was Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles. Davis vaulted himself from fringe player to major league superstar, and teams took notice increasing his shift percentage from 25 percent in 2012 to 78 percent in 2013. Davis hit .368 on grounders and short liners against the shift when he faced it less often in 2012, but he hit only .191 on grounders and short liners against the shift when his shifted rate increased in 2013. His shift rate is up, again, so far this season at 88 percent, and it continues to work for teams. Davis is batting .200 on these types of batted balls versus the shift in 2014, so expect that trend to continue.
New York Yankees’ catcher Brian McCann is another example of a player who’s seen his shift rate increase over the last three seasons. As a member of the Atlanta Braves, McCann’s shift rate went from 38 percent in 2012, when he batted .189 on grounders and short liners facing the shift, to 64 percent in 2013. His .233 average on grounders and short liners against the shift was better in 2013, but it was still 30 points lower than his batting average on grounders and short line drives without a shift. This season, McCann’s first in pinstripes, his shift rate has jumped to 90 percent. That increase in the shift usage seems to be having a significant effect on McCann as he’s batting .130 on grounders and short liners against the shift. McCann should get comfortable facing the shift in the AL East as the Orioles and Rays, division opponents, were the top two teams in shifting last season, respectively.
Newly acquired Texas Rangers’ first baseman Prince Fielder may be the most interesting case. Fielder is not as obvious a shift candidate as Ortiz, Davis, and McCann because he pulls fewer of his grounders and short liners. In fact, over his last 120 such balls in play, Fielder has only pulled 74 percent them, which falls below the 80 percent threshold Baseball Info Solutions uses to identify left-handed shift candidates. That said, Fielder has fared very poorly against the shift.
In 2012, Fielder had an excellent overall season with a .313/.412/.528 slash line, and he was among the top five in shifted plate appearances. However he was only shifted 37 percent of his plate appearances, despite hitting .256 on his grounders and short liners against the shift. Meanwhile, Fielder’s shift rate fell to 28 percent the following year even though his .226 average on grounders and short liners continued to trail his average on those balls in play with no shift.
Unfortunately for Prince Fielder and the Rangers, other teams have caught on, and that seems to be one of the reasons he has struggled so far this season. Fielder is back in the top five of the number of shifts faced this year, and teams are also shifting him with greater frequency. This season, 77 percent of his plate appearances have been shifted, and Fielder has continued to struggle, hitting just .143 on grounders and short liners against the shift. If Fielder is to put his early season troubles behind him and turn his season around, he’ll likely have to do it against an increased shift rate.

Performing termite inspections is something all homeowners should do. The professional inspection of your home before putting the structure under coverage is of the utmost importance. We will thoroughly inspect the appropriate areas and in doing so, we will also be able to inform you of issues we may find that are not termite related. We will also be graphing your home and any outbuildings that may be on your property.
Termites are very prevalent in Tennessee. Without inspections and a quality termiticide treatment, damage can be extensive before you notice anything in the living area.
U.S. Pest professionals need to do an accurate graph of the exterior of your home. This includes noting how deep the soil is at the foundation. If you have a crawlspace, then we will need to note on the graph where the piers and any other critical areas are. To add, we will also graph your outbuildings. These should also be put under coverage.
Insurance companies don’t cover termite damage. Due to the options of termite treatments, insurance companies consider it a preventable cause.
First of all, a U.S. Pest pro will inspect inside your garage. Then, we will need to see the base of the walls which includes around windows & doors. If you have a finished or unfinished basement, we will wish to inspect all walls. Crawlspace areas are crawled with a thorough inspection of all accessible areas. With a slab home, we will inspect all walls that are accessible.
As we inspect the crawlspace, we will be looking at everything. Taking moisture readings of the wood and humidity readings of the crawlspace is always performed. The inspection of your moisture barrier and vents is always a priority. Also, we will see if you have any visible leaking plumbing or disconnected ductwork. There can also be animal activity or pests. Inspecting for areas of ingress by animals is always a task performed.
Do you own a home and need a great pest control company? As a result, Contact us or ask us about a FREE inspection!

Step away from the norm for a moment and enter the ethereal with this stunning projected spectacle by artist Romain Tardy.
Sometimes, it's nice to just sit back and enjoy yourself as a mind-bending light show and distorted ambient music collide in the name of digital expression.
Throughout October, Belgian artist Romain Tardy displayed a mesmerizing art installation titled "Pagan" on an exterior wall of the Museum of National Antiquities in Toulouse, France.
The light show -- somehow inspired by a bacchanalian head from the third century -- consists of stars, lines, and abstract figures breaking apart and merging back together. Musician Squeaky Lobster provided the eerily calming music for the event, ensuring a total transformation of the senses for most observers.
"Using the idea of polymorphism that is a feature of the ancient gods, the head becomes almost invisible when integrated to the structure made of an abstract network of straight lines," Tardy says of the project, on his portfolio Web site. "The light will reveal several patterns, from abstract constellations to enigmatic symbols, that will affect the rest of the building."

I’m sure you’ve heard that more young adults—the Millenials—are living with their parents. It’s been all over the news in recent years in large part because of the recent economic recession. But as with most things, you have to look beyond the sound bites in the media to see the forest for the trees.
Let’s start with the data. According to a recent Pew Research Center report, a record 36% of Millenials (ages 18-31) lived with their parents in 2012. This proportion is even greater than the 34% who lived with their parents when the economic recession officially ended in 2009. To be fair to these young adults and their parents, as many as half might be college students because the census data used for this analysis considers children living in dormitories as living with their parents.
Nevertheless, the fact that a record number of Millenials live with their parents is a cause for concern. Parents must shoulder the financial load for their children for a longer period of time than parents of previous generations. This lengthens financial burden and negatively affects parents’ ability to save for their own retirement. That effect is particularly troubling given a recent study on Americans’ difficulty in saving adequately for their retirement. That difficulty, as we all know, places a burden on other sources of financial support in retirement provided by us all (i.e. Social Security). And this increased financial burden creates an increased emotional burden as parents worry about their own and these young adults’ futures, not to mention the tension that naturally exists between adults parenting other adults who live in the same home.
The starkest difference within each of these categories is between married and unmarried Millenials—47% of unmarried Millenials live with their parents compared to only 3% of married Millenials. To put that difference in perspective, let’s say you were to walk into a room of 100 unmarried Millenials with the intention of interviewing one of them about their thoughts on this trend. You’d have a 50-50 shot at randomly picking one who lives at home. Try that in a room of 100 married Millenials and it might take you a very long time to find someone.
The lesson here is that marriage continues to be a critical path to independence. Think of it as one leg in a three-legged stool of independence. That stool is very wobbly because the importance of marriage in our society is being whittled down to a nub. (Cohabitation, which the Pew report notes is rapidly on the rise, is not substitution for marriage.) Parents tend to focus on the education and employment legs, and rightly so. What parents often neglect, however, is to send a clear message about the importance of marriage—not only its importance as the ideal situation in which to raise children, but how vital it is to parents’ and their children’s eventual independence from one another.
What action should parents take? Send a clear, frequent message to their children that marriage is just as critical for independence as a college education and gainful employment.

The Hannah Arendt Center for Political Studies, founded in 2016, is a research institution that aims at connecting Arendtian academic scholarship with present-oriented political research from an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together the human and social sciences. To this end, the Center brings together scholars involved in different research areas and relies on a wide network of scientific relationships and collaborations, both national and international.
As a place of research, the Center addresses both theoretical and historical aspects of the “Arendtian studies”. It also addresses important emerging political issues for a better understanding of the contemporary world, such as: political freedom, public happiness and democracy; citizenship, power and violence, inclusion and exclusion; the impact of globalization processes on the political sphere, the growing political relevance of economics and international law; political implications of economic and social change in late modernity, also with reference to educational and professional processes. A specific interest is reserved to the political dimensions of issues traditionally associated with the private sphere, such as sexuality and gender, maternity, care and vulnerability.
As a place for public debate and democratic training, the “Hannah Arendt” Center aims to extend the practice of philosophical and political thinking beyond academic and/or professional boundaries, qualifying as an educational site at large, where cultural debates take place, in collaboration with others active in the public sphere. We intend to promote critical thinking and diffuse knowledge and debates on politics and the “world we have in common”.

The yagyopathy laboratory established at Brahmavarchas Research Instt., Shantkunj, haridwar ( India) is unique lab in which search and development facility are available to study the effect of sublimation of herbs with power of mantra chanted during the course of the ritual of Yagya.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis is a major public health problem across the globe. Every year about eighty thousands new cases are reported in India alone. The high frequency of drug-resistance, complications of sequential updating of multiple drug-regimen and side effects like hepatotoxicity, etc limit the efficacy of its treatment by modern medicines. Ayurvedic herbal medicines are found to be effective, but oral administration of these is usually slow in desired healing.
Because of repeated rhythmic chanting of mantra and deep breathing, oral and nasal inhalation of medicinal vapors/gases/fumes (released from the processing of the herbal plant medicinal preparation in the yagya-fire) occurs naturally during yagya. Thus, yagyopathy (yagya-therapy) enables pulmonary administration of the herbal medicines and is therefore expected to be a more efficient mode of healing in case of pulmonary diseases in general and pulmonary tuberculosis in particular.
Thorough scientific evaluation of this ancient therapy in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis was the principal objective of this research work.
The yagyopathy (yagya-therapy) experiments in this study were conducted using the fire-pit in the shape of 'Padma Kunda' which is constructed in the center of the Yagyopathy Lab of the Brahmvarchas research centre, Shantikunj, Hardwar. The size of this kunda is approximately 6 to7 times (in cross sectional area of the successive layers from top to bottom) that of the agnihotra kunda. The lab is surrounded by glass walls with appropriate facilities of controlled ventilation and exhaust through the roof which can be connected (at the terrace of the lab) to desired instruments for collection and analysis of the released medicinal fumes/gases/vapors etc. The lab is maintained in clinically necessary clean conditions. It is surrounded by green plants with a pollution-free and calm environment.
Dry powder prepared using the anti-tubercular preparations recommended in Ayurvedic scriptures were used as havan samagri for sacrifice in the yagya-fire. The botanical and chemical properties and the antitubercular activity, antibacterial activity and immunomodulatory activities published in modern scientific literature were thoroughly reviewed. Due care was taken to assure best type and quality of the herbs.
Detailed chemical analysis of the thermal transformation and slow-combustion process of yagya was studied together with the possible reactions and release of important phytochemicals and their anti-bacterial (including anti myco-bacterial), immunomodulatory and other important activities and synergistic and antagonistic effects of total herbs.

Amazon - The western Amazonian countries of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia have implemented significant forest reforms over the last two decades to help smallholders and communities better manage and benefit from their forests.
Despite the changes, however, many continue to manage their forests in ways that result in illegal logging.
Why does illegal logging persist among smallholders and communities? In search of an answer, scientists from the Indonesia-based Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) traveled to community forests, agroforestry plots, sawmills, government offices and other sites in the three countries. They interviewed policy makers, government officials and people who work in different areas of the timber industry.
They found that although modified regulations mark a great step forward, they do not necessarily respond to the varied needs of smallholders and communities, according to a new paper in the journal Forests.
And when regulations do not meet their needs, people turn to a combination of legal and illegal practices for harvesting and selling their timber.
All three countries have made progress in their efforts to change regulations, but it has not been easy to address the many economic and institutional constraints facing smallholders and communities, which have become important players in the forestry sector, Pacheco says.
The countries differ in their total forest area—Ecuador has 11 million hectares, while Bolivia has nearly five times that area and Peru has 73 million. They also differ in the area occupied by smallholders.
According to official statistics—which may not be exact—smallholders or communities in Ecuador account for 7.5 million hectares, or more than half the total forest area; in Bolivia, 20.7 million, or nearly half; and in Peru just 13.2 million hectares, or less than one-fifth.
Smallholders and communities contributed a significant amount of timber to markets between 2008 and 2012, representing 84 percent of the supply in Bolivia, 35 percent in Ecuador and 22 percent in Peru. Most of that timber was sold in the countries’ domestic markets.
In the late 1990s, the three countries began promoting sustainable forest management (SFM) as a way to increase income from forests while encouraging conservation.
Policy makers assumed that SFM could increase the economic benefits smallholders and communities received from forests, thus decreasing pressure to deforest and put the land to other use. They also assumed that SFM could help supplement smallholders’ and communities’ incomes, Pacheco and his co-authors argue in the paper.
An initial set of reforms in the three countries included regulations to promote SFM, such as forest inventories, forest management plans and annual operating plans. They also granted forest tenure rights to smallholders and indigenous communities.
The new regulations provided some economic incentives, particularly reduced fees for smallholders in Bolivia, and differentiated forestry permit costs depending on the type of forest and scale of harvesting in Ecuador. All three countries also improved their oversight systems, which verify that timber is harvested legally.
Changing regulations to improve forest management while helping smallholders achieve higher standards was an interesting combination with a great potential, Pacheco says. But it did not achieve the expected results.
One stumbling block, Pacheco and his co-authors argue, is that the reforms emphasized tenure, forest management and means for verifying legality, but placed substantially less emphasis on incentives and technical assistance for local forest users.
“It was assumed that the markets would take care of meeting their needs,” Pacheco says.
Despite the institutional barriers and economic constraints, however, smallholder and community forestry came to play an important role in timber supply in the three countries. And over time, local forest users began to pressure their governments to improve their situation.
A second wave of reforms began in 2010, with the goal of making it easier for smallholders to manage their forests by making forestry systems more flexible, despite concerns that more flexible conditions could lead to less-sustainable forest management.
To different degrees in the three countries, those reforms improved incentives for smallholder forestry, introduced payments or other compensation for forest conservation, and streamlined systems for verifying that timber has been harvested legally.
Nevertheless, illegal timber harvesting continues in the western Amazon.
“The forest reforms still fell short of addressing key constraints facing smallholders when they try to adopt sustainable forest management systems,” Pacheco says.
Because procedures for granting land title have proven complicated, the titling process has been slow.
The cost of drawing up management plans and annual operating plans can also be prohibitive for smallholders, who do not sell enough timber to recover their investment. Many smallholders, especially in remote areas, sell timber only sporadically, as they need cash. For them, a formal management plan makes no economic sense.
“The costs involved in obtaining permits, and the often-low benefits derived from harvesting, lead smallholders to conduct their operations outside the law,” the authors write. “In addition, forest technicians may not be interested in formulating management plans in small areas,” which are less profitable than larger areas, where more timber can be extracted.
But the biggest omission, Pacheco says, is the lack of financial incentives for small-scale sustainable forest management. Because of the costs and other obstacles, such as distance from markets, smallholders in the western Amazon are at a disadvantage in the market, he says. As a result, they tend to engage in a combination of legal and illegal practices.
To lower costs, many smallholders prefer to cut timber and mill lumber themselves, with chainsaws, instead of hiring someone. But they also need capital before they can harvest timber, and often must turn to intermediaries for high-interest loans. The alternative is to sell standing trees to intermediaries or chainsaw millers at a lower price.
Intermediaries play an important role in the market chain by providing financing, but they can also impose their conditions on the timber sale, putting smallholders at a disadvantage. Intermediaries can also obtain necessary permits and often know how to make illegal timber appear to be legal. This allows them to sell the timber in domestic urban markets.
These difficulties and constraints, combined with inadequate incentives, leads those involved in the illegal sale of timber to resist efforts to change their practices, Pacheco says.
Lack of compliance with forestry regulations represents a significant cost to governments in lost tax revenue. At the same time, however, the timber sales are an important source of income for smallholders and communities.
So what’s the answer? Although it varies somewhat from country to country, the studies point to some general principles.
Pacheco and his colleagues suggest involving smallholders and other members of the small-scale market chain in an effort to design a more flexible, integrated framework that enables smallholders to make decisions about the best way to manage their forests.
“These frameworks have to be increasingly associated with economic incentives and assistance,” Pacheco says.
It is also important to make timber markets more transparent, by making better price information available to everyone in the market chain and improving monitoring and oversight.
Government agencies at all levels would do better to shift their emphasis from command-and-control-style enforcement of regulations to facilitation of a form of forest management that is sustainable, and which also works for smallholders, he says.
He hopes CIFOR’s in-depth studies of forest management in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru will contribute to a system that works for both people and forests.
“More flexible systems, with better monitoring, improved incentives and greater knowledge of the market demand, could make life easier for smallholders, while ensuring that they have the resources to benefit from their forests and also to invest on them,” he says.
This research was conducted as part of the project, “Emerging countries in transition to a green economy: Will it make the difference for forests and people?”. This collaborative program aims to enhance the management and use of forests, agroforestry and tree genetic resources across the landscape, from forests to farms.

I had the most amazing dream of my Mum recently. I feel compelled to share it with you and all those who knew my Mum.
I found myself in a room filled with things from the past; a few photographs and objects that I could recognise from my childhood, and then boom; my Mum appeared in front of me. I reached across a table to see if I could touch her, and I could! I stroked her beautiful soft skin, her arm looked brown and tan and healthy again. I couldn’t believe that I could actually touch her! She was real before my eyes like she used to be.
A photo I took recently on one of my walks in my neighbourhood. Love the colours, brightness and freshness. Nature always brightens my mood.
Then we stood up and we hugged. A wonderful tight loving embrace that felt so good. We had full body connection and it felt very comforting and a real energy exchange. It was the best hug I have felt since she died. It really felt that good. I was craving a good hug and this has some how satisfied me!
We spoke together about a few things, and she reassured me things were all going to be okay in my life. She gave me a very important message I felt at the end of our conversation. One I will never forget. And one I want to share with you.
Simple but effective. We dwell on the past and reminisce our loved ones but it really is so important to value the present moment in time and give our love and energy to the living world around us.
So that was my profound dream. It was incredible. I have a very special connection with both of my parents but this one dream felt like a real visitation dream, and the strongest and clearest connection I have felt from my Mum since she died in 2014.
Love your dream! I “talk” to my family in dreams as well and feel wonderful after a visit. Glad your spirit is healing.

International desk: Pregnancy might just be catching at a hospital in Mesa, Arizona, where 16 nurses are expecting at once.
The group’s first birth is expected in September and the last in January.
Rochelle Sherman, who is just over a month away from giving birth, said: “I don’t think we realised just how many of us were pregnant until we started a Facebook group.
Her colleague Jolene Garrow thanked colleagues who have stepped in to do jobs pregnant women cannot do – such as dealing with contagious illnesses like tuberculosis and shingles, or performing some treatments for cancer patients.

Bryant University went Division 1 in Athletics my freshmen year way back in 2012. But man, have we dominated the league since then.
The Men Sports that Bryant offers are baseball, basketball, cross country, football, gold, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, and track & field. On the Women’s side, we offer basketball, cross country, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.
Every year we have won more and more championships and, more specifically, the past two years we won the Commissioner’s Cup, which signifies the best overall athletic program in the conference! It can’t get any better than that, right?
Guess what? It can! We now have a brand new Bulldog Strength and Conditioning Facilitiy! It is 10,00 square feet and student-athletes can use better and improved equipment. This facility is large enough so student-athletes can now rotate in shifts and is twice the size of the other gym where students can work out! In the new facility, there are weightlifting stations, workout areas, nutrition stations, and an indoor turf area where people can run. All my friends who are athletes are constantly talking about how lucky they are to use it.
Even though it is reserved for only athletes, I ended up checking it out last week. Man oh man, it is beautiful. It is surrounded by windows so all you see is the outdoors. It is also located right near the field goal post on the football field so you can see the football team practice as well. The new machines are state of the art and there’s enough room in there to play capture the flag. Okay, that may not be the best idea, but you get the point.
Bryant continues to offer amazing programs and always provides ways for our students and athletes to have the best “Bryant Experience” as possible.

Discussion in 'Digital Video' started by fishcough, Apr 26, 2011.
I was kind of dancing around this in my other post, but it is now (finally) dawning on me that I don't fully understand the process for backing up.
I'll be shooting on a Canon XF100. The codec is MPEG-2 Long GOP as MXF.
After shooting, back at the hotel, my plan is to import the footage I shot that day to a MBP. I believe I'll be able to import and view the footage via the XF utility software that accompanied the camera.
Is in then as simple as exporting the files in their native format to an external drive? Then worry about transcoding to something more FCE/FCP friendly later? Or, would I need to do something else to them at the time of transfer.
I think I'm essentially looking for the MBP to act as a temporary bridge between the camera and offloading to the drive.
Sorry if this is a total noob question and I will be conducting some tests before I leave, just want to make sure I'm on the right path.
Do you have a CF reader?
Transcode raw only on the drive you are working with. If you need to relink to your backup later, you will have to transcode that when the time comes. But I would keep my backup as 100% raw original files.
NOTE: Don't ever change file names when you import. Use log notes for labeling. If you rename anything and your normal copy gets screwed, it will be a major PITA to relink with your media with the backup.
NOTE2: You should never work off your internal drive so I would technically replace the word "internal" above to "other external device".
We had to consider other options for back-up.
We went with the older 2500 since we dont use P2 here.
Mostly CFs for Canons and RED MX.

I recently picked up a CM11a and CM17a (Firecracker) to experiment around with Heyu and X10. The CM11a plugs into the wall and has an outlet on it that I have a lamp plugged into. Does the CM11a have a house/unit number that can be used to switch the lamp on/off?
I have the same setup on my CM17a and the instruction manual describe the default house/unit numbers which I'm able to use to turn the lamp attached to it on/off. I've poured over the documentation and spent far too much time searching with Google but can't seem to find any information about setting the house/unit code on the CM11a. Any suggestions?
The outlet on the CM11A is a pass through outlet. Always On.
The CM11A does not use an X10 address.
The CM17A Firecracker. Also has no X10 Address. It just takes the data your program sends it and converts it to an X10 RF command.
I have the same setup on my CM17a and the instruction manual describe the default house/unit numbers which I'm able to use to turn the lamp attached to it on/off.
The Cm17a is the serial port firecracker. It doesn't have any outlets on it, only a 9-pin serial connector at each end.
Thanks for the info on the CM11a outlet. I piggy backed a lamp module onto the CM11a and that did the trick.
Yes, it was late, way too late. What I was thinking, but not typing, was the TM751 transceiver that the firecracker talks to.
You don't need to piggyback them, you should be able to plug that lamp module into a different outlet if you want.
In that case, the TM751 is permanently set to UnitCode 1.
It also doesn't have a PLC receiver in it. So, if you send any commands over the powerline (like with the CM11A), the TM751 won't see them, or react to them. It can only be controlled via RF, either from a hand-held remote, or from an RF-enabled PC transmitter (CM15A / CM17A / CM19A).

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) outlined its proactive regulatory approach to tackling corporate misconduct in the second issue of the SFC Regulatory Bulletin: Listed Corporations (Regulatory Bulletin) published on 23 May 2018. The Regulatory Bulletin gives details of the SFC’s exercise of its powers under the Securities and Futures (Stock Market Listing) Rules (SMLR) in order to fulfil its statutory obligation of investor protection in the nine months ended 31 Match 2018.
a listing of the securities would not be in the interest of the investing public.
full information with regards to relevant affairs of the corporation has not been provided to its shareholders.
The Bulletin sets out 10 case studies that demonstrate the SFC’s proactive approach to regulation.
A letter of mindedness to object (LOM) was issued to a listing applicant due to the SFC’s concerns as to the accuracy and completeness of the information in the materials submitted.
The relevant applicant had a considerable amount of revenue settled by third-party payers who were not its customers. The SFC found that some of these payers had relationships or connections to the applicant or its controlling shareholder, thereby disproving claims made in the listing application that the payers were independent third parties. The submissions also contained material inconsistencies regarding these payments.
Examples given included (i) that the applicant’s remittances to third-party payers were recorded as advances to the controlling shareholder, and (ii) the applicant making an advance to a third-party payer who made a payment to the applicant on behalf of the customer.
The SFC’s principal concerns in issuing the LOM was the lack of clarity regarding whether the sales proceeds received via third-party payers were provided by the applicant’s customers and the genuineness of the underlying sales. No response was provided by the applicant and the application lapsed.
The listing applicant had relocated its major operations after the track record period causing a significant change to its cost structure. No audited financial information reflecting the applicant’s operations after the relocation was available to demonstrate the sustainability of its revenue and profit margins in the new circumstances. The SFC issued an LOM because of its concerns that the historical financial information provided did not provide a fair and reasonable basis for investors to assess the applicant’s future prospects.
The SFC subsequently objected to the listing application as it considered that the application failed to include the information necessary to enable investors to make an informed assessment of the applicant’s activities, assets and liabilities and financial position as well as of the rights attaching to the securities. It also appeared to the SFC that it would not be in the interest of the investing public for the applicant’s shares to be listed.
An LOM was issued to an applicant due to concerns about the high shareholding concentration. According to the applicant’s share allotment information, its issued share capital would only be held by a few shareholders upon listing, even though the total number of shareholders was to exceed 100 as specified by GEM Listing Rule 11.23. The applicant deferred its listing, and after it relaunched its offer a wider spread of shareholders was attained.
An LOM was issued to an applicant due to the SFC’s concerns that the historical financial information in its listing prospectus might not be representative of the applicant’s business in future, since the company underwent a significant change in its business strategy. Closer to the end of its track record period, a portion of working capital that was greater than the applicant’s turnover in the preceding financial year was allocated to a new business segment with differing risk and reward profiles and with different liquidity and capital requirements. The applicant provided no response to the SFC and withdrew its listing application.
The SFC issued letters of concern in response to a company’s proposed placing to raise funds under a general mandate and a share options grant to unknown grantees. Together, the placing and the share options amounted to a significant proportion of the company’s share capital, and both came after a rights issue conducted by the company in the first half of 2017. A significant discount to the company’s net asset value of more than 80% was made, and the SFC did not obtain a reasonable justification for that discount or for the imminent fund raising.
An inquiry under section 179 was commenced by the SFC into the details of placing, share options and the use of funds from the earlier rights issue. Subsequently, the company terminated both the share options and the placing.
The SFC commenced section 179 inquiries due to concerns that an acquisition proposed by the company was aimed at listing a company by circumventing the listing rules. The acquisition was to be conducted by means of a convertible bond issue and a placing at a price discount of more than 60% of the market price, with the conversion shares representing 57% of the enlarged issued share capital.
After commencing its inquiries, the SFC found that the company to be acquired was in fact loss-making, had not commenced operations, and did not have a satisfactory justification for the placing at the proposed price discount nor for the given projection of its growth.
After the SFC issued its letter of concern about the acquisition and placing, the company announced the lapse of the acquisition and termination of the placing.
The SFC issued a letter of concern to the issuer that proposed a rights issue and a convertible note issue at a significant discount to the market price which cumulatively would have resulted in a dilution of more than 50%. Since 2015, the company had conducted two fund raisings that were highly dilutive. In response, the company restructured the planned transactions to decrease dilution impact, set a more moderate discount and halted its issue of convertible bonds.
Section 179 inquiries were commenced by the SFC in relation to a company’s minority equity interest acquired in a broker and a proposed acquisition of the remaining interest that was to follow. The company granted a small number of individuals with options, and each individual exercised their option through loans provided by the seller. The SFC formed the view that the transactions might have been designed to overvalue the broker, as the broker’s recorded net profit consisted mainly of non-recurring items, and its key customers were subsidiaries of the seller or parties associated with it.
The SFC issued an LOM and the company terminated the acquisition.
Section 179 inquiries were commenced by the SFC with regards to a company’s settlement deed designed to repay an outstanding loan by issuing new shares and convertible bonds at prices deeply discounted to the corresponding market prices. The impact of the settlement deed would have been material since the new shares and convertible bonds would have represented 35% of the enlarged share capital and the combined value was to be higher than the debt to be repaid. The SFC issued a letter of concern as it considered that the settlement deed might result in the unfair treatment of the company’s shareholders. In response, the company announced the lapse of the settlement deed and that alternative funding was being sought.
A letter of concern was issued by the SFC in response to the company’s proposed issue of unlisted warrants. A discount of roughly 14% of the company’s enlarged share capital was proposed, however, the company did not provide a satisfactory explanation for the discount. No independent valuation of the planned warrant issue was provided to the board. The SFC’s letter of concern stressed its concern that insufficient information was provided to the directors for determining whether the issue price of the warrants was fair and reasonable. The company announced the termination of the warrant subscription.

Should I Bother with Outpatient Alcohol Treatment?
Why Should I Bother with Outpatient Alcohol Treatment?
Outpatient alcohol treatment is a very effective way for you to reach recovery. Don’t dismiss what an outpatient alcohol treatment program can do for you. In order for you to get the best results, you have to be committed to the program and truly have a willingness to get better. Dedicate yourself, follow the program and take advantage of the benefits of your outpatient alcohol treatment program.
Alcohol treatment is important in order for you to reach a healthier and more stable life of recovery. Continuing with alcoholism is likely to lead you down a dark road with detrimental consequences. Quitting cold turkey on your own has also been shown to put you at a much higher risk for relapse than quitting alcohol via the means of an alcohol treatment program.
An outpatient alcohol treatment program can get you on the road to recovery. The main treatment method is psychotherapy. Psychotherapy helps you find the underlying causes or reasons behind your addiction. Psychotherapy is so effective because it gives you a deep understanding of your addiction on a personal level and allows you to come across major breakthroughs in which you gain moments of clarity to achieve the tools necessary for success. Psychotherapy comes in different forms, including one-on-one sessions, cognitive behavioral, family and group therapy. You may also participate in support group meetings as part of your outpatient alcohol treatment program. Support group meetings are incredibly beneficial sources of support and strength, and take place in a room full of your peers. You can create goals in the outpatient alcohol treatment program as well as relapse prevention strategies to strengthen your recovery. Lifestyle considerations such as health and nutrition, exercise, meditation and stress management are also key in managing stress, a major trigger for substance use.
Rather than dismiss outpatient alcohol treatment for the challenges it holds, consider its unique benefits. You are able to sleep at home each night, which means you can spend more time with your family and attend to your everyday responsibilities. You are able to continue going to work. You are able to begin applying what you learn and discover in treatment immediately each day. You already are aware of how you are being affected by the triggers of the outside world. If you or a woman you love is having problems with drug abuse, alcohol dependency and mental illness, women’s drug rehab may be the answer. Remember that recovery from addiction and alcohol abuse treatment means learning how to cope with intensely emotional situations, and identifying when you need help and support. Treatment for addiction relapse, counseling, and aftercare can help you do this, so please call us today at 1-866-808-7111. Destination Hope: The Women’s Program is a full service addiction and women’s health treatment facility in Florida for women who suffer from substance abuse and behavioral health issues.

A true chef or culinary enthusiast is constantly looking for new foods and dishes to experiment with. If we were to give an advice on what new a person should try in their kitchen, we’d probably list kalette as one of the top choices. Some people make puzzled faces when they hear the word, and they’re like “what are kalettes“?
Kalette (plural: kalettes) is truly a unique vegetable that the British vegetable seed house Tozer Seeds was working on for more than a decade and a half. This little green is a hybrid vegetable resulting from a cross between kale and brussels sprout, taking the best of both tastes. Because they are made via traditional hybridization (rather than genetic modification), kalettes are GMO-free which is one more perk that we really take at heart. Kallettes look like little cabbage heads with greenish curly leaves and purple stripes.
Despite being small-sized, kalette is packed with stunning amounts of certain beneficial nutrients. In fact, the hybrid veggie is one of the top vitamin K sources possible, with 120% of the vitamin’s daily value being covered by only 85g of kalettes. Most people have heard that citrus fruits are some of the best vitamin C-rich foods on the planet. That may be true, but there are also other foods that offer surprisingly much of the vitamin, and as you’ve probably have guessed by now, kalette too is one of them.
The exact same serving of the vegetable provides your body with 40% of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin C. The nutritional profile of kalettes is also supported by good amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin A, calcium, and iron.
– Put the ice and the coconut water in a blender.
– Get a deep salad bowl, put the kalettes in it and drizzle with vinegar. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
– Set aside for around 10 minutes.
– Add orange zest, then peel and slice into bite-sized pieces.
– Grab a measuring cup. Add in it the other part of the orange zest, some olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
– Shake and stir to mix the dressing.
– Trim kalettes’ ends and slice in half.
– Divide between two baking sheets and toss with olive oil. Flavor nicely with salt and pepper.
– Pre-heat your oven to 425°F.

Why our practice? A higher degree of success from a higher degree of experience! We enjoy a 98.9% success rate. Root canal work can be costly, do it right the first time. It is more expensive doing it over. Having a tooth removed and placing an implant will run into the thousands. One of our philosophies is a multidisciplinary approach. We have multiple specialists in our practice to review and assist in making sure we diagnosis and treat your chief complaints. We have experience with complex cases. We feel it is important to communicate with your dentist, physician (neurologist, oncologist, orthopedic, cardiac).
Dental Dam- Always uses this with root canal! Keeps the area sterile!
No saliva with bacteria gets into the tooth. Any infection that comes out does not go into your mouth. Root canal done without a dental dam will lower your lower the chances of your root canal working.
Microscope- Second most important tool! Root canal is about detail. The microscope allows us to magnify the inside of the tooth to see detail not visible to the naked eye or magnifying glasses. Root canal without a microscope will lower your success. The microscope is used also in apicoectomy surgery. It also allows us to record any procedure.
Root locators- This instrument aids us in finding the root of the tooth electronically. It aids in our determination on how long the roots are, and how to place our root canal fillings. This helps to ensure that all the nerve is gone.
3D imaging- This allows us to view your teeth on the computer from every angle possible. It is more detailed than traditional dental x-rays. It allows us to see every root, even the ones that are hidden. It aids in diagnosing. Many times discomfort can be from TMJ, sinus or other areas, this allows us to diagnosis, treat and refer accordingly. We pre-screen many patients for dental infections before medical surgery and cancer treatment.
Laser treatment- Laser treatment allows us to sterilize better and to remove infection in the hard to get places in a tooth. The light energy travels 360º inside the root to sterilize the canal. When used in root canal surgery is more conservative with less bleeding especially for patients on blood thinners.
All of the above are important when completing root canal. So when you are told to remove the root canal because it is infected, think twice, send us an e-mail to get our opinion. Many times we can help and save you unnecessary expense.

The annual Whistler Ski And Snowboard Festival took over Whistler April 8 - 17 and some of our team were able to make it up for the final weekend of activities.
If you've never experienced the WSSF, it's a great excuse to head up to Whistler and enjoy some excellent spring riding, concerts, art exhibits, film maker viewings, fashion shows, comedy night, roller derby, and more. The festival is packed with showcasing great local and international talent on both the concert stages and the slopes, with multiple ski and snowboarding competitions throughout the event.
Our weekend kicked off by hanging out with the fine folks at The Adventure Group and Super Fly Ziplines for a zip through the Whistler back country along Cougar Mountain. Super Fly Ziplines boasts the longest and highest tandem ziplines in Canada, and they don't disappoint. Leading into summer adventures, definitely check out these guys and say we sent you!
After ziplining we hit the patios, enjoying the afternoon tunes from main stage and great atmosphere in Whistler Village. Saturday's headliner was Chromeo, who had the entire plaza packed. Following Chromeo's set was the big air competition, which is always entertaining to watch. The drizzle didn't deter the crowd, and the hillside and plaza was crowded with excited spectators.
The following morning we fought off the late night fun (and late night poutine hangover!) to hit the slopes. Celebrating the last day of Whistler Mountain being open for riding, it was the perfect farewell to another winter season. Although the riding was slushy, you can't beat being able to ride down the hill in a tshirt and sunnies. We packed in as many runs as possible before heading down to watch the festival's closing act, Tim Hicks, on the Fido Main Stage.
Before heading back down to the city, we made sure to pop into the State Of The ART showcase which is always a highlight. Featuring fantastic local artists all inspired by the elements surrounding them, the gallery is filled with creative fusions of nature, sport, and urban grit.
Thanks again to the Whistler Ski And Snowboard Festival for having us join the fun! We look forward to doing it all again next year.

A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America !"
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shak es his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful America !"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East , I am not American!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa!"
The African lady checks her watch and says..."Probably at work."

We all love to use Twitter right? All the celebrity gossip and the wars of words that the Twitter has witnessed warrants a punctual following of the social networking platform but there are several key features missing from this key Social Network and the list is quite big. But one thing that we have to admit is that the Twitterati have been waiting for the simple feature of effective direct messaging for quite some time and finally it is happening with the newer version of the Twitter app available for the iOS and Android platforms.
Not only the users are able to send and receive images directly but there are also a few changes in the ability to shift from Home, discover and activity timelines on both mobile and web based services and the messages tab has been placed on the navigation bar making it easy to access direct messages. Also in an only-Android-feature, now the user can see the notifications from other people not just celebrities and other important personalities. This fresh UI is seen as a simple yet concrete step towards making twitter a better platform for a broader sense of social networking not just a source of seeing other people tweets and tweeting back. When the image message is received, a thumbnail of the image can be seen in the message log which can be downloaded.
Twitter’s biggest rival and market leader Facebook was the first social network to come up with an effective DM that allowed users to send attached files as well as having normal keyboard conversation. Many analysts believe that the main success of Facebook can be attributed to its effective DM system. Keeping that in mind Twitter has finally upgraded it platform but since not much time has passed, it is yet to be seen whether it will become a source of inspiration to really challenge Facebook’s mighty monopoly of the social network and media. Whether it succeeds or not, one thing is for sure and that is these moves show that the Twitter people are making their move to enter into the mainstream social networking.
The new notification bar (yes you can brag Android users) in profiles is also very handy. It can help you save the tedious process of scanning zillions of tweets from around the whole world to find the right notification which you want to see. The ability to swipe between the home, discover and activity timelines is also a good job.

There were some tough choices on the first Friday night of the 2018-19 OHL season, but Jason Robertson, Brandon Saigeon and Adam McMaster emerged as the Three Stars of the Night. Here’s a look at their performances.
The first hat-trick of the 2018-19 OHL season belongs to Jason Robertson. The Dallas Stars prospect struck three times in a 5-2 Kingston Frontenacs home opening victory over the East Division rival Oshawa Generals at the Leon’s Centre. Robertson connected with linemate Brett Neumann twice while also receiving some help from newly acquired teammate Dawson Baker. Robertson enters his fourth OHL season on the heels of back-to-back 40+ goal campaigns. His early season pace indicates a third straight run of 40 is very much a possibility.
The Hamilton Bulldogs fell 7-5 in North Bay, but Brandon Saigeon was in on all five goals. The Colorado Avalanche draftee recorded a career-high five points, with two goals and three assists in the loss. Saigeon recently returned from a strong showing at Avalanche Training Camp and picked up where he left off as the reigning champion Bulldogs set out on their title defence. Back for his overage season, Saigeon is poised to be one of the league’s top offensive producers in 2018-19.
While Saigeon filled the scoresheet, North Bay Battalion third-year forward Adam McMaster made some waves of his own. The former first round OHL pick scored twice and added an assist as the Troops won their home opener before a crowd of 3,129. Both of McMaster’s two goals on the night came off deflections as he first got a stick on a Braden Henderson point shot before tipping home a release from Payton Vescio. The Battalion are expecting big things from McMaster as he looks to build off nine goals and 28 points a year ago.

Arizonaâ€™s Grand Canyon National Park is nothing short of a natural spectacle. Millennia have carved a geological masterpiece rising 7,000 feet above sea level before plummeting back down into the powerful Colorado River. The Grand Canyon National Park cares for nearly one million acres of land, thousands of plant varieties and hundreds of wildlife species.
For forthcoming visitors, the area's expansiveness can make trip planning overwhelming. To help streamline the canyonâ€™s outdoor conundrums, weâ€™ve highlighted 10 of the region's best experiences. From soaring over the canyonâ€™s dramatic landscape to skiing across its picturesque trails, these diverse expeditions help travelers navigate the Grand Canyonâ€™s many marvels.
The Bright Angel Trail is 19 miles round trip and is rather tourist-friendly thanks to its frequent rest and water stations. Still, the Bright Angel Trail flaunts challenging switchbacks and is steeper than it appears. Its semi-shaded structuring gives hikers several reprieves, but despite shading, Bright Angel Trail hikers need to heed summerâ€™s scorching temperatures or winterâ€™s volatile tendencies.
Garden Creek, a verdant area fed by several waterfalls, is a notable scenic pit stop. Keep an eye out for brave athletes preparing to rappel their heights. Other photo-worthy moments include Plateau Point, which unveils stunning Colorado River views and jagged gorges.
The park recommends allotting at least two days to cover the entire trail, and allowing for twice as much time to come up than it takes to go down. During planning, make sure any trail camping plans donâ€™t require a backcountry permit.
Visitors may also hike the trail during the winter months; the park is much less crowded, but icy conditions and freezing temperatures require an additional layer of caution.
Grand Canyon river trip opportunities are plentiful and popular, with each one varying in duration, rapid and raft style, and permitting requirements. Bright Angel Bicycles, the National Parkâ€™s exclusive bike vendor, recommends Arizona River Runners and Grand Canyon White Water for 3-13 day experiences powered by motors or oars, with each outing presenting customized hiking and camping opportunities.
Self-guided raft trips, (also known as private river trips) require advance permits that are made available to the public through a weighted lottery. The water released into the Grand Canyon is controlled, so conditions remain relatively consistent year-round. The Grand Canyonâ€™s rafting descriptions and requirements should be reviewed diligently by beginners and returning rafters.
Biking Grand Canyon National Parkâ€™s roads and Hermit Road Greenway Trail allows visitors to move through the parkâ€™s six lookout points and pine forests at a quicker pace â€“ while also avoiding shuttle crowds during peak tourist months. But note, bicycles are not allowed below the Canyonâ€™s Rim or along any paved or unpaved portion of the Canyon Rim Trail.
Bike rentals and guided tours run year round via Bright Angel Bicycles but are only available on the South Rim. Bright Angel Bicycles carries menâ€™s, womenâ€™s and childrenâ€™s wheels, as well as tricycles and tandems. To help bikers along, Bright Angel Cycles mapped several bike route options, and those needing a break from the park's hills can mount their bikes on the shuttles or leave them at their campsite.
Helicopters have permission to fly 1,000 feet lower than tour planes, bringing their seated guests thrillingly close to the Grand Canyonâ€™s dramatic edges and dropping depths. Depending on the operator and its Rim routes, pilots can swoop over the Dragon Corridor, Kaibab National Forest, Colorado River and Tower of Ra, and also help riders spot elk, deer and other native wildlife.
Narrated tours come in multiple languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, Portuguese and French. Flights vary in length and often follow a loop.
Viewing the Grand Canyon from the sky is the ultimate treat, so why not add an unforgettable skydiving experience to an Arizonian vacation? Paragon Skydive is a tandem jump operator conveniently based out of Grand Canyon National Park Airportâ€™s main terminal.
While dropping into the national park is illegal (and unsafe), Paragon participants will rise to altitudes above flight tour heights (13,500 ft to 15,000 ft) before accelerating groundward at speeds over 100 mph â€“ all with the Grand Canyon in sight.
Be sure to visit Paragonâ€™s website before arriving to cross-check reservations, as well as clothing and payment requirements and possible shifts in weather conditions.
Witnessing the Grand Canyon reframed by white dust is a uniquely exhilarating adventure, and seasoned backcountry trekkers can get their snowy fix during the canyonâ€™s uncongested winter months.
Once the parkâ€™s annual road closures occur, the North Rim campgrounds and yurt are only accessible by inner canyon trails from the South Rim, or by hiking, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
Due to its higher elevations, the North Rimâ€™s snowpack conditions are more consistent; snowfall on the South Rim dries more quickly than its northern neighbor but conditions here can turn quickly. The Rims average 50-100 inches of snow per year and seasonal temperatures can fluctuate from the lower 40s to subzero numbers.
Some Northern Rim lodges (including Kaibab Lodge) remain operational year-round, but as previously stated, are only available by foot. Camping outside of designated areas will require a backcountry permit.
For a laid back or family-friendly affair, consider a round-trip on the Grand Canyon Railway. Once the route for ore transport, todayâ€™s restored train cars combine western nostalgia with classic hospitality to present a singular Grand Canyon attraction.
The 1923-dated Pullman Car leads the train, followed by the coach cars and a cafe car. A first class observation dome, luxury dome and parlor class (with an open-air back deck) round out the upscale commuter alternatives.
Departing from Williams, Ariz., the railway slithers through forests and traverses prairies before dropping guests at the Grand Canyonâ€™s Southern Rim. Historical characters join riders onboard each way, sharing secrets and tales from the Wild Westâ€™s past. The trip measures 65 miles and takes just over two hours in each direction.
The Havasu Fallsâ€™ striking waterfall and blue-green pools break through the landâ€™s clay color scheme, creating a dynamic and visually captivating backdrop. The water gets its color from high magnesium levels, and its nutrient-rich makeup nurtures a remote desert oasis.
Havasu Falls is on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which is outside of Grand Canyon National Parkâ€™s jurisdiction. Due to its location, independent camping accommodations must go through the Havasupai Tribe, and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.
This indigenous culture remains respectful to their land, maintaining a single restaurant and a trading post. Hikers departing from Supai village will embark on a 10-mile trek before arriving at Havasu Falls.
Hopi Point sits on the Grand Canyonâ€™s South Rim, and its expansive vistas make it a popular go-to during â€œgolden hoursâ€� â€“ the times surrounding sunrise and sunset. The transitioning sun paints the canyon faces with saturated oranges and pinks. Visitors can peer over the Colorado River and through to the Northern Rim.
Hopi Point is a stop on Hermit Road along the West Rim Drive and is accessible via park shuttle, foot, bike or commercial tour. Private vehicles are only allowed from December to February. Arrive at Hopi Point early to dodge crowds and secure an unobstructed view.
The Kaibab Trail covers 21 weaving miles, crossing the Colorado River and connecting the Grand Canyonâ€™s North and South Rims. The North Kaibab Trail is infamously steep, rising 1,000 feet higher at the trailhead than the South Kaibab Trail. It's the canyonâ€™s most challenging footpath, offering little shade and no water stops along the way.
While rigorous, the terrain unveils spectacular vantage points and photo ops, including a natural rock archway at Supai Tunnel and waterfalls at Roaring Springs. Experts recommend covering Kaibab's trails at a steady pace, and never condensing a round-trip excursion into a dayâ€™s time.
"Take your time on the Kaibab!" urges travel writer Kristin Winet. â€œUnless you're pitching a tent, remember to go only as far down as you're willing to hike back up!"
Kristin and her husbandâ€™s rushed Kaibab attempts once lead to foot blisters and "wind-chapped cheeks and dust-caked clothes."
During summer months, Grand Canyon Park Service insists on beginning the trails in the early morning or early evening to avoid the gorge-trapped heat. Winter welcomes new extremes, occasionally snowing-off trail sections or covering them with ice.
