I should have known what kind of trip it was going to be from the moment I left my apartment.
It began last Thursday around midnight, when I was all packed and ready to jump on 12-hour overnight bus trip across Spain. I was looking forward to sleeping off the previous night’s discoteca outing that lasted until 4 a.m. And I was really excited to see some of the most amazing historical sites in beautiful old Spanish cities.
I said bye to my roommate “But you forgot something important!” he shouted as I was leaving.
“But my nap!!” He just laughed.
Setting off to go here!
Within half an hour, I was on Bus #1 with a new friend who kindly helped me out with my booze oversight. It was packed with sixty party-happy 20-somethings from all over the world.
Then out came the karaoke on the bus’s T.V. Cue sixty now tipsy 20-somethings singing and dancing in the aisles with coordinated hip thrusts to “Ai Se Eu Te Pego“. It’s pretty much obligatory to know the dance if you’re in Spain at the moment.
As made famous by this guy ( Cristiano Ronaldo).
Eventually it calmed down and people fell asleep. I woke hours later up to miles of beautiful Spanish countryside, with gently rolling hills and pretty stone walls dotted across the fields. We got sleepily rolled out of the bus in Ávila half an hour later.
We walked through the amazing castle walls to the Plaza Mayor, where there was a Friday morning farmers’ market filled with old Spanish couples. The men lined up for olives and the women picked out vegetables.
First stop was breakfast. I went with a new Finnish friend from the bus, and we ate sandwiches at a lovely local bar filled with jamón legs and beautiful tapas. She had a tasty Spanish tortilla sandwich, and I tried jamón and cheese. The sandwiches were on the most amazing bread and bigger than my upper arm. This was actually the first time I’ve eaten the famous Spanish jamón and enjoyed it. Neither of us finished! Sadly I forgot to take pictures.
The closed door in question.
We made our way through the winding cobblestoned streets, and it was easy to see why they call Ávila “The City of Pebbles and Saints.” There was a church on practically every corner!
Then we saw a few more of the churches and sights, like the Convento de Santa Teresa. I loved seeing the old castle walls jammed up next to modern things, like when cars passed through the old archways. All the people who grew up in Europe were pretty unimpressed, but stuff like this just doesn’t exist in California!
The walls date back to the 11th century and circle the old part of the city. To give you an idea of how big they are, Wikipedia says it’s got 88 towers and the walls are 2,516 meters long. Our tour guide told us they get lit up at night and it’s the biggest lit up monument in the world. I wish we’d gotten to see them at night!
Our tour was pretty short, and it was realllly hard to hear because there were so many of us and one person doing her best to be heard. So unfortunately, I don’t have much more of the history and background of Ávila! Just as it started to rain, we left through the beautiful walls before making our way to Salamanca.
PreviousTravel Plans – Valencia, Sevilla, Ibiza, & Beyond!
Next¿Cómo se dice “Daylight Savings Time”?
How cool! I love walking through farmer’s markets- especially in the countryside!
Yeah, they always have fun stuff to look at.
Your trip looks amazing! If I ever find myself in the area, I’ll have to check out Avila.
You should, it’s really beautiful! It’s not too far from Madrid and really cool.
I haven’t been back to Avila since the only time I went back in 2004!
However I am pretty sure you loved Salamanca. It is so beautiful and also full of students because of the university there so lots of places to go out and party. I just went for a day trip and then went back for Semana Santa with my parents. The first time I went I spent the full day there so I got to see the Plaza Mayor lit up at night and the most beautiful sunset. Can’t wait to see your pictures!
Yeah, I definitely loved Salamanca. You should go back and see the student life too, it’s really fun. I’ll post about it later this week – I had wayyy too many pictures to do a single post about my trip!
Oohh so pretty! I love the houses on the hill. Such beautiful architecture.
It’s definitely a beautiful place. Thanks for stopping by!

Best Web Design Software 2019 – The best web design software has mostly stayed the same over the years. The best web design software is Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is an Adobe program that makes designing your website an easy and effective process. Dreamweaver is perfect even for people who don’t have much experience designing their own website.
There are of course free alternatives to Dreamweaver and I will get to that later, but I think your best bet for web design software is Dreamweaver. Adobe even offers a free trial for those who want to try out this great software. Using Adobe Dreamweaver to design your website is recommended for anyone, because of the way the program is designed, anyone can use it. The internet offers many great tutorials for Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a great software to look into.
You can go over to Adobe.com and find the free trial for you to try. Minimal coding experience will help you out a lot. Dreamweaver lets you take full control over your webpage and it really helps you out because most of the process is drag-and-drop and entering your website data. Dreamweaver is one of the best web design software for the common web developer. Even if you are inexperienced the program offers you custom templates if you would like to use one, or if you are just trying to make a website quickly.
It is recommended to only use a template if you can still make your webpage unique. Know the difference between a unique website and a not so unique website. Be sure to add a personal touch to every webpage you create.
Best Web Design Software 2019: Now if you don’t have the budget for Dreamweaver there are some free alternative. One of the best free alternatives to Dreamweaver is a program called Aptana. It is a free alternative web design software that might not be as good as Dreamweaver but it seems to have a lot of similar features.
Now when you go with a cheaper alternative, no matter what the product, do not expect perfect results. If you have the money and really want to start web designing, I recommend Dreamweaver. So if you want an open-source program you can go with Aptana or you could Google some other programs. There are many out there if you just look.

This piece was originally published in our the FSA Voice (January 2018 edition).
How many times have you heard, or maybe said, ‘I only pay attention to the union during bargaining’? It’s a common sentiment, and a common problem, in many unionized workplaces. Bargaining has the highest profile of all union activities. With collective agreements usually having a term of two to four years, long periods seem to pass when there is no bargaining to worry about. The reality is that any FSA member could be influencing the next round of bargaining right now.
The collective bargaining cycle never ends. For the FSA collective agreement expiring in 2019, the union’s preparations began before members ratified the agreement in 2015. In this case, the FSA Bargaining Team shared the dissatisfaction voiced by members over the lack of progress on PTS and applied research issues in the 2014-15 round of negotiations. The debate around ratifying that agreement began to position the FSA to make significant gains in those areas in 2019.
Bargaining is a cyclical activity. Each round builds on what happened the round before. Ideas about changing the collective agreement that are rejected in one round come back to be considered again. The proposal might be rejigged or completely different approaches to an issue might be attempted based on what happened in the previous round. Each side comes to the table prepared to overcome arguments the other party made in the previous round.
Those changes and entirely new proposals develop from many sources on a continuous basis. The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) hosts a monthly teleconference with negotiators across the country to share ideas and information. Twice a year at CAUT’s general councils, member associations discuss and decide upon model clauses for a variety of collective agreement provisions relevant to academic workers.
Within the FSA, bargaining efforts are constantly underway at both the strategic and tactical levels. Strategic approaches empower the union to address whatever might arise in bargaining. Our decision to join CAUT and the BC Federation of Labour, our government relations work, our strike fund contributions, our member engagement work, our strategic planning process, all of these major activities build our strength and our ability to fend off concessions and make gains for members.
On a tactical level, collecting data and ideas to drive bargaining in 2019 also began during the previous round. As FSA members and staff identify issues with the collective agreement and ideas for improving our terms and conditions of work, FSA staff log them for consideration by our Collective Agreement Committee. The FSA’s labour relations team generates much of this information through their efforts to address member and union issues and through their professional understanding of how collective agreements are applied and interpreted. Grievances are particularly important sources of information for bargaining as they represent areas of dispute over the meaning of the collective agreement and provide for detailed investigation of the issues informing the dispute. Several collective agreement clauses originated from grievances that helped the parties see how the collective agreement was not meeting the needs of the workplace.
While FSA staff gather that information, they also keep an eye on our external environment for new ways to make gains for members. Changes in legislation, government priorities, and changes in BCIT’s priorities sometimes open up opportunities for improvements in the collective agreement that weren’t previously viable or even apparent. Going into negotiations, the Bargaining Team needs to understand where the employer can and cannot be made to move and what will motivate them to agree to change on certain issues.
No final package of proposals or single round of bargaining can solve everyone’s problems. And no round of bargaining can provide every improvement the FSA is fighting for on behalf of our members. With each cycle we make gains and with each cycle we work to ensure that your voices are heard. All of this couldn’t take place without the contributions of staff, members, and our greater community. We truly are stronger together.

A excellent loan calculator not only calculates the mortgage and interest quantity but also has an selection among the values of diverse financiers to give an ‘at a glance’ appear at the distinction in repayment rates.

One particular of the ideal methods to get an idea of what the various parts of your wedding will price is to verify out a wedding spending budget calculator or estimator on the net. These web sites can’t give you the exact price – or the cost that you could get from the florist up the street – but it will give you the average cost paid by today’s brides and grooms. Note: It does not reflect the cost a wedding vendor would spend. As you would expect, the costs will vary broadly, but at least you will know if invitations are $300 or $3,000 of your spending budget.
Now you will require to take that overall price range amount and split it percentage-smart for every main aspect of your wedding e.g. how much to spend on the wedding clothes, the rings, catering, decorating the venue and so on.

Ultimately, a very good function for budgeting is the capability to represent the data in your planned price range in many types. This aids in understanding the budget much better and can help you discover issues with your budget. The data you will enter in the rows and columns of your spreadsheet will not make much sense unless it is transformed into a chart or pie graph.

When you entering a supermarket, generally you will see a lot of products are on sales that might trigger your impulse to buy. Hence, you should be firm on how significantly you want to devote.

family budget calculatorThe most important component of planning a wedding is setting your price range. Stick to the exact same process for each and every one of your bills.

What is a root canal? A root canal is a dental procedure in which a dentist removes the root/nerve of a tooth that has been infected, and then seals the canals. A root canal is necessary if you have a tooth that has had decay reaching the nerve of your tooth. Swelling, redness, and pain are the most common signs of a tooth that is infected and in need of a root canal. The pulp of your tooth is the center of your tooth and is where the living connective tissue resides which is what gets infected when you have deep decay in a tooth. If this happens, redness, swelling, and pain can occur, and the pulp will need to be removed. Dr. Phillip Greer at Sweetwater Dentistry, located in Fairhope, Alabama, performs Root Canal Treatment for patients that are in need of this procedure. Visit our website for more information about Root Canals and the other services offered here at Sweetwater Dentistry.
What happens during a root canal? During a root canal procedure, the dentist will use a drill to open up the tooth to the canals, which is where the pulp chamber lies. Once the dentist has access to the canals, he will then use different sizes of files to remove the infected nerve from the tooth. Once the infected nerve has been removed, the dentist will then disinfect the canals to ensure that all of the infection is gone. After that, the dentist will then seal the canals with a material called gutta percha. After the root canal treatment is complete, the dentist will then build your tooth back up, and a scan will be done in order to fabricate your new crown, which is made in house, usually the same day, here at Sweetwater Dentistry. If you have any questions about root canals, visit us here at Sweetwater Dentistry. We look forward to seeing your smile in our office soon!

(Reuters) – Apple Inc said on Wednesday that an app belonging to popular conspiracy theorist Alex Jones remains in the company’s mobile App Store because it has not been found to be in violation of any content policies.
The Infowars Official app has become the App Store’s third most-downloaded news app this week after Apple removed access on Sunday to some of Jones’ podcasts from its digital store. Apple had said the podcasts violated the company’s rules against hate speech.
The company had not explained why the app remained available until issuing a statement on Wednesday.
“We strongly support all points of view being represented on the App Store, as long as the apps are respectful to users with differing opinions, and follow our clear guidelines, ensuring the App Store is a safe marketplace for all,” Apple told Reuters in a statement.
Jones’ podcasts differed from the Infowars app in a key way. The podcast app allowed access to an extensive list of previous episodes, subjecting all of those past episodes to Apple’s content rules.
“We continue to monitor apps for violations of our guidelines and if we find content that violates our guidelines and is harmful to users we will remove those apps from the store as we have done previously,” Apple said.
Google parent Alphabet Inc, Facebook Inc and Spotify Technology SA also removed some content this week that had been produced by Jones. Google has not said why the Infowars app, which offers live streams and articles, was not removed in its app store as part of the actions.
Twitter has drawn public outcry for not removing Jones’ account. The company is responding by expediting a review of its content policies, according to an internal email that Chief Executive Jack Dorsey shared on Twitter on Wednesday.

First, let’s bust some myths.
One: contrary to assumptions, many rock climbers have a fear of heights. Not just a healthy respect, which all climbers ought to have, but phobic fear. Yet climbing appeals to them because it grants a sense of control over the chaos of fright.
Two: contrary to assumptions, rock climbing takes just as much leg strength as arm strength.
And three: a body can climb even in the flattest of flyover country, central Illinois, where cornfields stretch like neutral oceans from horizon to horizon.
My brother and his girlfriend explain this as we drive to a bank of grain silos on the outskirts of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. There’s nary a rock outcropping for probably a hundred miles around, but some clever soul cleaned out a few abandoned silos and peppered their interiors with bolts and holds. Today John and Susan are treating us to an introductory class followed by a day’s worth of verticality. We have no idea what to expect. We are complete rookies.
Susan and John head straight up the walls with their own gear, while J. and I pick up loaner equipment and join three other newbies for class. A friendly young employee shows us, literally, the ropes. Miraculously, I immediately grasp the knots – usually my weak point – that secure us to each other at either end of the long climbing rope. The hardest part is figuring out how to get into my harness, which is a tangle of straps and buckles that seem designed to comically frame one’s privates. I feel like a toddler trying to figure out big-kid pants: so many holes into which a leg could fit.
J. and I will belay each other, meaning we will take turns holding the destiny of the other’s bodily integrity in our rope-rubbed hands. I am relieved to trust J. with this. I know he will be sufficiently nervous to pay attention, and is sufficiently practical and strong as to react quickly and intelligently to the unexpected. Certainly, better him than the clammy-palmed woman whose eyes cut nervously to her more experienced husband for guidance at each step. And better her than dude over there, in stylish athletic wear and ostentatious masculinity, mumbling “Gotcha” as he forgets to check safeties and leaves his rope in the unlocked position. Underconfidence (and awareness of same) trumps overconfidence any day.
Oh, and I assume J. trusts me, too. Right? …Right?
J. and I easily pass the belay test – the series of safety checks, commands, and taking out slack in the rope – that accompany a climber’s ascent and controlled descent. I feel like I am faking a new language: “On belay.” “Belay on!” “Climbing.” “Climb on!” “Take.” “Go ahead.” “Climbing!” “Climb on.” “Lowering?” “OK, go.” But we are really going to do all of this, on a wall higher than ten feet, without our instructor watching. We are set free in the gym with thin, nubby shoes and a bag of chalk to dry our palms. On-belay, on-belay, arriba-arriba-arriba!
We begin in a small, rectangular gym twenty or thirty feet high. The routes are marked in colored tape, but I put my feet and hands wherever they’ll fit. John calls this the “rainbow method.” We try easy, short walls first, freezing where the wall begins to slant back toward us, transferring more weight into our arms, and psychologically unnerving us. We demand, with all the dignity we can muster, to be lowered.
The first few times, it is difficult to simply swing away from the wall and trust that the belayer below will let us down slowly and evenly. We drag our feet against the wall, which only makes it harder for the other, but eventually we adjust to kicking away, floating in air.
There are also auto belays: pulley systems one can clip into and climb without a partner. Just kick off the wall and the auto belay lowers back to the rubber-rock-covered floor at a perfectly even rate. I don’t know how it works, but I trust it, a manifestation of the great, mysterious Technology. I offer it all my unbroken bones, and it dispassionately returns them.
Below J., I belay with intense focus, craning my neck at his ever-shrinking form. I believe I’m trustworthy. My instincts and strength are not as good as J.’s, but I have strong force of habit plus the famous Karp caution. Susan tells me that I take out slack very naturally, rhythmically, and I am flattered. She shows me a few traverse moves, sideways across the wall, without ropes, above a large, thick mat. It feels like slow-motion ballet: the specificity, the imperative of balance.
Wall climbing is fun, but inherently unnatural, hauling oneself up a concrete surface punctured with neon plastic nubs while secured to ropes and pulleys, a dowdy fake of the real, outdoor ascents nonchalantly hopped by mountain goats and pros. Still, I have no interest in taking this hobby outdoors. John and Susan drive hours to climb boulders, frozen waterfalls, and god knows what else, but I am content to stay indoors, and watch anything adventurous from below, cradling my aching, back-tilted neck in my hands. J., of course, has greater aspirations. Part of me hopes that when he goes away to hike for four and a half months, he’ll forget about this new hobby by the time he gets back. But really, I know better. He loves it.
We break for lunch, and on our way out, despite busted myth #2, spot a woman doing pull-ups using only six fingers curled over a pair of puny bumps that provide barely a knuckle’s worth of purchase. We fail to keep from gawking.
After lunch, it’s time for a double-date in the silos. The structures are concrete, impossibly narrow and high, with loud fans covered by metal grates, and sodium lamps at the tops, tinting the alien habitat a flickering orange. It’s like the Fizzy Lifting Drink scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Our voices echo and are nearly drowned out by the fans.
John and Susan climb first. John climbs like a spider, giant steps bending his thin legs nearly double. He is so tall that he can stretch his arms to widely angled options at every move. Susan is an agile lizard with suction-cup toes, scaling routes made of mere pebbles, hopping, resting, reaching to her waist for powdered chalk and then pouncing again.
J. and I follow, short ascents at first, then longer ones. The four of us hop up and down the silos. We get photos of John and me climbing side by side, to email to our parents, of course. If I don’t look down, I don’t mind going higher.
It’s getting late. One last climb apiece. J. goes two-thirds of the way up. Part of me is glad to not be responsible for lowering him all the way from the top. Will I try? If I do, I strategize, it must be in one go, no breaks; my arms tire if I hesitate too much. I tie in to a 5.6, a low-difficulty route. And up I go, like mercury in a thermometer on a warming day: viscous, steady. Not thinking, only moving. Almost to the top, my arms feel like quitting, but a small voice says, You only have a little way to go. You won’t be up here again. You may as well do it.
So I do. I slap the top and holler in triumph. “Look down, and I’ll take your picture!” Susan cries from below.
I accept that any photographic proof of my feat will showcase only my rear end, and holler “OK, lower me!” J. gives the signal. I swallow, then push off the wall, and finally, dare to peek down. I gasp and am glad to see the accomplishment from above. He lowers me gently.
“You climbed it all the way on the first go, without a break – that’s called ‘on sight.’ You can say you climbed that on sight,” Susan tells me. She must know how gratifying a bit of bragging can be, though she doesn’t do any herself.
The silos were sixty-five feet high. I figured they were nearly two hundred. But sixty-five is more than six stories—nothing to scoff at for a pair of neophytes. We are spent, dragging our knuckles as we leave the building, but the soreness is gratifying. We doze off in the back seat of the Subaru while John ferries us home.
And for the next three states of our road trip, until the farms peter out and the Badlands emerge from the prairie, the real climbing parks of the country, we can’t drive past a cluster of silos without imagining people scaling their insides.
Not twenty-four hours into our trip, and already we have been thrust into trust.
This morning we left our naked apartment and headed east. Montana put on a beautiful show for us: the Sapphires, the Pintlers, the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, Bridger Bowl, the Tobacco Root Mountains, and other brilliant ranges for which I have no names. We pulled into Sheridan, Wyoming and thought we’d try to make it just a bit farther. It was only six pm, already dark, but what else were we going to do? Sit in our packed-full pop-up camper in the Wal-Mart parking lot for four hours? So we pushed on, south.
Twenty miles out of Sheridan, the blowing snow gave way to reveal a carnival of flashing lights ahead on the highway. Closer, and we could see a shining orange panel. It was flame, emanating from a semi rig along with giant clouds of inky smoke. The road was blocked by another semi, and we stopped behind it, followed by three or four deliveries of firemen and other emergency-related personnel. Later we learned that no one was injured, though the cab was a charred hull when we at last passed it by. The road had become slick with ice, and the snow blew labyrinths over the straight white lines of the highway, and we were decidedly done testing our luck for the night. But where to? The nearest Wal-Mart was behind us, and the highway had been closed. The next one was a hundred twenty miles of questionable weather ahead. All that lay between was the town of Buffalo, Wyoming–which boasted no Flying J, no Wal-Mart, no parking lot obviously amenable to a couple of travelers hoping for a dry dock.
We went to the gas station, which referred us to the KOA, which was snowed in, but next to a hotel, which referred us to Duffy’s Restaurant. We set our hand on the door just as the night manager was turning the key in the lock. But she let us in. And when she discovered that there was no room at the inn, so to speak, her husband said: “There’s a place you can stay for free.” And he gave us directions to a latticework panel between a Chinese restaurant and a realty shop, and told us to just pull up close. And that it was his yard.
So we are now in the driveway of Greg and Kathy, and their son Matthew, who passed us on that treacherous stretch of road in a shiny black truck. It’s two degrees out, but the propane heater is warm on our toes, and there’s a 24-hour Kum & Go down the block with a functional toilet. These people who don’t know us from Adam kindly gave us shelter for the night. Our first “trail angels.” (Google it, it’s a hiker thing.) The universe doesn’t let you go very long as a pilgrim without making you surrender to events like these.

(CNN) — The holiday season will officially kick off at the White House Monday when President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump receive the 2018 White House Christmas tree.
The tree will arrive at the North Portico of the White House by horse and carriage, continuing an annual tradition. This year’s tree, standing 19-and-a-half-feet tall, hails from Mountain Top Frasier Fir in Newland, North Carolina, and will be displayed in the Blue Room. The President, not traditionally present for the tree’s arrival, is scheduled to make an appearance this year.
Mountain Top Frasier Fir’s Larry Smith was named “Grand Champion” in the tree association’s contest last summer, his fifth attempt to win the honor of providing a tree to the White House, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.
“I feel as though I have finally won the Super Bowl. It’s a great honor to represent the Christmas tree industry by providing the Official White House Christmas Tree in 2018,” Smith said in a statement.
In September, the White House’s chief usher Timothy Harleth and superintendent of grounds, Dale Haney, traveled to North Carolina to select a Frasier Fir from the “appointed field” on Smith’s tree farm.
The tradition of the White House Christmas tree dates back to 1889, when President Benjamin Harrison placed the first tree in the Yellow Room, decorated with candles and toys for his grandchildren, according to the White House Historical Association. The tree is believed to have made its debut in the Blue Room during the Taft administration in 1912.
While Monday’s tree arrival marks the formal kickoff to the White House’s 2018 festivities, broader preparations, led by the East Wing, have been long underway. The first lady posted a photo from a planning session in July, hinting that gold ornaments and red berries are in store for this year’s décor.
“Planning is underway for this year’s #Christmas at the @WhiteHouse! There is still a lot of work to be done, but I hope everyone will enjoy our final holiday vision for the People’s House,” she tweeted.
The season’s festivities will continue Tuesday, when the President pardons the Thanksgiving turkey, and into December, when the Trumps are expected to host a packed schedule of holiday parties.

Hello friends, thank you for stopping by!
I am a professional Tribal Style Belly Dance artist, yoga and fitness instructor based in the San Francisco, San Jose Bay Area. Since 2000 when I was first introduced to bellydancing, I’ve been hooked and learned as much as I could through videos and DVDs while still living in Japan. Although I would consider myself an excellent student, I eventually needed to learn from the masters. So in 2007 I packed my dreams, determination and a bit of belongings into two suit cases and moved to San Francisco Bay Area, the mecca of Tribal Bellydance to study with the luminaries of this art form. Subsequently, I have taught and performed all over the US and in over 20 different countries. You can see some of my local and international performances on YouTube.
Now I live in East Palo Alto where I perform locally and teach in local gyms and out of my lovely home studio. One of the greatest gifts dance affords all of us is a chance to connect. I love turning a room full of spectators into participants. I love sharing my passion with my hardworking students and seeing them not only improve their dance techniques but also gain confidence and a growing love for the dance. Going forward I will continue sharing my passion and continue connecting with the local community through events, classes, and performances.

If the holidays promise anything, it’s almost certainly a deluge of photographs. Instead of taking out your smartphones, why not build your own camera?
With one of Adafruit’s best selling screens and an official Raspberry Pi camera, you’ll be ready to set up your very own digital camera in no time at all. You’ll be immortalizing all those great memories and get to show off your maker skills in the process.
The included camera board is a high quality 8 megapixel Sony IMX219 image sensor custom designed add-on board specifically for the Raspberry Pi, featuring a fixed focus lens. It's capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images, and also supports 1080p30, 720p60, and 640x480p90 video. It attaches to the Pi by way of one of the small sockets on the board's upper surface and uses the dedicated CSi interface, designed especially for interfacing to cameras.
View what you've captured on the accompanying 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. The TFT plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display to show your images and video. Best of all it plugs in right on top of the Pi!
This product does not come with a Raspberry Pi 3. For a limited time, Arrow is including Pi 3s in these packs if you're looking for a version that contains a Pi.
Check out our WiFi Pi Camera guide for instructions on how to turn this into your very own little camera that saves the images to your DropBox. The version you'll make will have to stay plugged in, since we don't include a battery pack (you can pick up a battery pack here if you want to take the camera out and around) Also, since you're using our existing enclosure, thread the Pi Camera cable through the HDMI slot right above the HDMI connector.
Made in collaboration with Arrow Electronics!

This past week I had the great privilege to work with the INCREDIBLY talented Mattson Tomlin again while we worked on a project in Lake Onawa, Maine. The week was full of hard work, a TON fun, a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, and a great cast and crew. For my character most of the filming took place in the water. This was a really fascinating new experience for me because I have never shot anything or had to act in water before and I had a great time.
I feel very blessed and a HUGE thank you to everyone involved.
P.S. EVERYONE should go to Maine. Nuff' said.
A highlight from this review, "The characters are so well-written and well-acted that you can easily believe they are real. ...The players performed their parts at ease, like they had not been drowned in the routine of memorizing an infinite number of lines and intensified rehearsing. ...The D'Angelo and Coffey duet was sensational, as they both created wonderful portrayals of characters whose destinies were entrusted to them. ..."
Remember, check out the full film at www.maddyz.

Whilst Robert is on holiday for the next few weeks we have guest contributors! This week’s edition has been written by Jacqui Rowland-Smith, former journalist and Senior Sales Consultant here at R&W Mosman & Neutral Bay for the last 10 years.
Our market is unlike any other in recent times. Some price ranges and property types are seeing plenty of action, and others are subdued. Apartments under $1m are moving very quickly. As for houses, the $2-3m bracket in particular has shown strength. We recently launched 57 Holt Avenue Mosman on the Internet, had four contracts issued in the first week, and sold it within days. Buyers generally are very conservative and reluctant to over-extend their borrowings, but they still want to see their families settled in their own homes. There are also highly qualified buyers in the $3-5m range, but properties have to be priced sensibly to attract the right buyers. One of our office’s strongest price categories so far this year, has been the $3-4m range. But importantly, there are good cashed up buyers in all price categories in this market.
The changes at Fairfax and News Limited further highlight the emphasis on the Internet for finding property. In the US, statistics from the National Association of Realtors tell us that buyers typically search the Internet for 12 weeks (median) before they purchase. Of the houses they view online, they typically inspect or drive by 63%. As for the various information sources used in home searches, 30% found properties through print advertising, but 88% used the Internet as well. In August, we will be launching our first auction, only to be advertised on the Internet. Still, it is important not to disregard print advertising – many buyers are not actively looking on the Internet, especially ‘sleepers’ in the market, and Tuesday’s Domain North, Saturday’s Domain and Thursday’s Mosman Daily still capture that audience, which helps stimulate competition between buyers.
The top end housing rental market is softening beyond the normal winter lull. This is largely because the Living Away From Home Allowance, as part of the Fringe Benefits Tax, is being abolished this month. Many tenants who have received this very attractive tax deduction are now looking at buying instead. In particular, landlords wanting $2500 per week or more are already seeing substantial reduction in rents.
Very few Development Applications are being lodged with council, and those that are, are usually for minor works. Since the start of the Global Financial Crisis there has been a dramatic downturn in construction of new houses and also major renovations. We are already seeing demand for fully renovated homes that do not need any work. This will only intensify over time as fully ‘done’ product become scarcer and scarcer.
So far this year we have seen less turnover than we normally would by June 30. There has been a dramatic shortage of stock in all price categories, which has impacted sales volumes. There are many good cashed up buyers in the market, but they are starved for choice. Our market is consolidating and tightening. Traditionally, a lack of stock can turn a buyer’s market into a vendor’s market very quickly. The number of houses on the market in Mosman fell to 73 this week, which was unprecedented. We are starting to see fresh stock hitting the market, but not as much as we would expect for this time of year. Prices are very much driven by supply and demand, so we are optimistic about a good run for the spring selling season.
I look forward to seeing you at an open house!
Good to see you ve STILL got in the written skill-set as well !!!
Spoke to someone at auctions in central west NSW today, lots of large properties (1000 acres plus) passed in.
But up 3 on last week?
Thanks from”The Land of Smiles” goes back to his book.

Caffeine Addiction Facts: How Addictive is Coffee vs. Cocaine?
Do you have a hard time functioning in the morning without a latte or your morning cup of coffee? You’re not alone. According to the FDA, about 80% of adults in the United States drink coffee each day. About 38% of us say we “need” our coffee to get through the workday, but is it just a turn of phrase?
Coffee contains caffeine. Experts believe that people who drink a lot of caffeine in the form of coffee, cola, energy drinks, or tea, can experience a dependence. If you know anyone who has tried to quit coffee “cold turkey,” you probably know that when someone stops drinking caffeine, he or she is usually grumpy, experiencing headaches and lethargy for a few days.
While unpleasant, these symptoms pale beside addictions to illegal substances such as cocaine. Someone with an addiction to cocaine may spend years in recovery and usually needs professional help to get better. The withdrawal symptoms can be severe and even debilitating.
This difference is one reason why doctors don’t treat caffeine addictions too seriously. Some doctors even question whether caffeine addiction can be classed in the same category as more serious addictions, in part because it does not cause the social and health problems that serious drugs such as cocaine can cause.
Knowing that a coffee dependence is not as serious as a drug addiction can be comforting, but what happens if you can’t go a whole day without reaching for your favorite coffee mug?
The first step is to understand why coffee can become addictive. While most of us think of caffeine as a stimulant, it’s more accurate to say that it works in our body to let stimulants run free. It affects the chemistry of our brain, especially when we drink it often.
When you eat something with caffeine (such as chocolate) or drink coffee, caffeine gets dissolved into your bloodstream. From there, it enters the brain after bursting through the blood-brain barrier. This is not as scary as it sounds — all chemicals that can be dissolved in water and fat-based solutions can take the same path in your body.
Since caffeine is very similar to adenosine, a molecule in our brains, caffeine can function similarly in the brain, blocking off adenosine receptors in the brain cells. This is how caffeine gives us a jolt. Without caffeine blocking things, adenosine in our brains fits into adenosine receptors and sends signals of “you’re tired” to our bodies. With caffeine already in the receptors, the adenosine cannot do its job, and you feel more alert for a few hours.
What happens to the adenosine that’s floating around because the receptors are blocked? Often, it sets off production of adrenaline via the adrenal glands. Since adrenaline is also a stimulant, it can produce a jolt of energy, too. On top of that, with adenosine receptors blocked off, dopamine and other stimulants naturally produced in the body work a little better so you feel a bit of a “boost” with coffee or other forms of caffeine.
1) It cuts off the brain and body’s systems for sending the “I’m tired” signal.
2) It encourages stimulants naturally in your body to be released.
Depending on your body, size, age, and health, the caffeine blocks off adenosine receptors for a few hours (four to six hours, usually). As the caffeine gets absorbed and metabolized, the effects wear off.
Why Do People Get Addicted to Coffee?
If you suddenly cut off the caffeine supply, the body has these extra receptors, and none of them are being blocked off. You get tired and irritable because those “I’m tired” signals suddenly go into overdrive. The extra receptors, the lower boost of natural stimulants, and the fact that there are no blocked receptors also cause other problems, even though scientists are still trying to figure out exactly how these problems work in the body.
According to scientists, the blocking of adenosine receptors is not the only problem. Some studies have found that caffeine increases levels of dopamine in our brains slightly, creating a very mild version of the euphoria some people experience with harder drugs such as cocaine.
Caffeine also affects other chemicals in our brain that make us feel happy and hungry. Quite simply, caffeine provides a happiness boost, much like other hard drugs. When we’re cut off, we don’t feel as happy. Since our brains and bodies are expecting that boost, our moods drop, and we get decidedly unpleasant. At that point, we want more caffeine to experience that jolt again.
Our bodies — especially our liver and brain — get better at processing caffeine the more and longer we drink it. As our metabolism of caffeine gets more efficient, we rely on it more, and we need more of it to feel the same boost. Pretty soon, we feel addicted in the sense that we experience symptoms when we stop. We realize we need more and more coffee (or stronger coffee) to get the same feelings we got from a mild brew years ago.
For many people, coffee and caffeine has a practical function — it can help keep us awake when we’re tired. Adults drink it when they need to get up early to go to work, and college students drink energy drinks when they need to stay up all night to study. Initially, someone might consume too much caffeine for one reason — such as staying up all night to finish a college paper — but then continue drinking caffeine because they feel they need it to stay awake.
There’s also a social factor with coffee addiction. Most of us rely on coffee or some form of caffeine when we head out. We associate the drink with dating, meeting friends, and relaxation. Quitting coffee can be a challenge in part because we suddenly can’t head out for a coffee. And coffee is everywhere, reminding us of a drink we enjoy but can’t have for whatever reason. The strong emotional attachment to caffeine — when combined with a physical reliance on it and the fact that we miss its taste and smell — all conspire to make us feel even grumpier about giving up coffee.
What About Cocaine and Other Drugs?
Cocaine and other illegal drugs are illegal for a reason. Although on the surface cocaine has a similar effect on our body as coffee because cocaine also boosts the levels of dopamine in our brains, the degree is dangerously different.
Dopamine is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in our body that gets released as part of a rewards system to make our bodies feel good. Dopamine is released, for example, after a good workout — which is how we get “runner’s high” — or when we smell great food. After a short time, dopamine is re-absorbed by the neurons that released it.
Cocaine not only releases a big burst of dopamine, but it also prevents dopamine from being reabsorbed easily, creating a euphoric high. While caffeine gives us a small boost, cocaine increases levels of dopamine to the point that users feel euphoric and sometimes invincible. The effect lasts for 15 minutes to about half an hour, in many cases. Over time, however, users need more of the drug to get the same euphoric feeling.
Cocaine is mind-altering in addition to giving users a boost. It can lead users to make bad decisions because they feel too overconfident and find their decision-making skills affected. Over time, cocaine users may find their entire rewards system changed due to the drug use.
Cocaine also increases the heartbeat significantly. If you drink a lot of coffee, the adrenaline pumping in your system can cause heart palpitations or sweaty palms. With cocaine, that effect is far more severe. In fact, cocaine can elevate heart levels and raise blood pressure so much that even teenage users become candidates for heart attacks and strokes.
Why is It Easier to Break a Coffee Addiction Than Drug or Alcohol Addictions?
The good news is that breaking an addiction to coffee is relatively simple. Although caffeine changes your brain by boosting the number of adenosine receptors on each cell, if you can go about a week or 12 days without caffeine, the brain will eventually adapt and reduce the number of adenosine receptors. The symptoms you first experience when you go cold turkey will eventually fade and then disappear.
The withdrawal symptoms will usually only last a day or a few days. The exact time it will take depends on how much coffee you usually consume.
While the headache and tiredness you feel by skipping your coffee for a few days are not fun, they are mild enough that you can usually give up caffeine with just a little self-discipline. The withdrawal from cocaine can be far more difficult.
On the surface, these might look very similar to the symptoms for coffee withdrawal, but the symptoms with cocaine are far more serious and can last much longer. Some people still find themselves craving the euphoria they feel with cocaine years after they have sought treatment.
Since the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal do not include any physical symptoms, some users trick themselves into thinking they were never really addicted — even though they were. It becomes easier to slip back into addiction, which is one reason why giving up cocaine is significantly more difficult than giving up caffeine.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, there is a risk for suicide and overdose involved in quitting cocaine — a risk that obviously does not exist with stopping your morning coffee. The U.S. National Library of Medicine also reports that about half of cocaine users also have a mental health issue that can affect their addiction. This issue must be faced and treated to help the person recover.
Another reason why caffeine is easier to give up than cocaine is its lack of strength — it’s harder to fall too far into addiction with your coffee. Yes, you might have a Pavlovian response when you walk by a coffee shop, but caffeine keeps you from ingesting too much because of the effect it has on your body.
When you have too much coffee, you probably don’t feel very good. You might experience shakiness, jitteriness, sweaty palms, and more, encouraging you to cut back on coffee a little. Some people even experience sleep disturbances or diarrhea, which is usually enough to make someone rethink their relationship with coffee. With cocaine and other drugs, there is no such built-in discouragement — users always want more and more of the drug.
In fact, one of the problems with cocaine is that users report they want more of the drug almost immediately. Cocaine produces feelings of happiness and confidence followed by a sharp “crash” and feelings of depression. A person who takes the drug and experiences this crash after only 20 minutes might want more cocaine to start experiencing the pleasant feelings right away.
Someone who tries an energy drink or coffee, on the other hand, may feel more alert but will not suddenly feel more powerful or overjoyed. The “jolt” is much milder and so there is no immediate addiction.
An addiction to cocaine or another illegal substance requires immediate intervention. Not only are illegal drugs immediately dangerous and can cause heart attacks or other medical emergencies, but addiction to these drugs can also result in loss of jobs, financial distress, loss of relationships, and a slow downward spiral.
Coffee, on the other hand, usually does not require an intervention. Even if you feel you “need” your cup of mud in the mornings, having coffee does not harm your body if you’re a healthy adult.
It does not mean that coffee is without dangers. Abusing coffee to the point where you do not sleep can be dangerous. It can cause you to be fatigued, potentially putting your health in danger. Too much caffeine can also harm your blood pressure and even heart. There have been cases of young athletes collapsing and even suffering life-threatening injuries after overconsuming energy drinks.
If you develop high blood pressure or suddenly find yourself pregnant, you’ll need to stop or curb your intake of caffeine. There are many cases in which coffee starts to feel like less of a pleasure and more of a problem. If you find yourself too reliant on it, you might want to cut back or stop, for example. If you develop certain heart conditions or have sleep disorders, your doctor may encourage you to cut back on coffee or stop your intake of caffeine entirely.
In those cases, it might be comforting to know that no matter how grumpy you get when you miss your first cup, the symptoms will probably go away on their own after a week or so. Learn more about addiction and how to overcome it by signing up for the Clarity Way newsletter.

The “Ripa Awareness Meditation” method was designed by Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche, an authentic master of Tibetan Buddhism, with an international reputation.
It is a simple and effective method of stabilizing the mind by using SHAMATA, a thousand-year-old technique that uses breathing to develop “mental calmness”.
It also introduces aspects of VIPASSANA, or “insight meditation”, that enables the freeing of the mind from conceptual fabrication.
Through training, this method leads to more subtle aspects of the mind, allowing a true exploration of the nature of phenomena and reality.

A poem creates different mental images for each reader. The inverse can be said for photography, an image is shown, and a different narrative is created by every viewer. This phenomenon of cyclical invention, conception and creation is one that is unique to these art forms. Word|Image intends to experiment with these dualities by showcasing a collaboration between local photographers and poets to create a synchronized creative endeavor.
The artists are interested in utilizing poetry’s ability to construct images with language. Rather than simply illustrating the poems though photography, the photographers have created work that complements and enhances their poetic inspiration. The goal of these collaborations is to achieve a final work that shows the strength of combining mediums.
while others are faded and become obscured as time passes. Experiencing a memory involves rich, complex sensations that exist only in the mind of the individual. A memory is personal and unique and the recollection of an event is never exactly the same to more than one person. Details can be skewed, glazed over or exaggerated.
Some believe that photography is not an effective way of accessing memory because it only utilizes the visual aspect. Instead of a complex mixture of sensations, the image forces the mind to see the memory in one specific way. It becomes possible for multiple people to recall an event through a single static image instead of separate interpretations. Rather than some aspects of a memory stand out while others recede, a photograph is full of detail. The documentation process of photography is often the only way that an event is remembered and can replace the organic process of remembering that only exists in the mind.
The West Michigan Photography Collective is taking on the challenge of creating photographs that do more than document. Through our photographs the viewer will experience the same complex sounds, tastes, and textures that lie in their own memory. We aim to stretch the ability of the photograph to its sensual limits.
Fragile Empires aims to document the breakdown of matter and social structures by showing the cycles of passing time. The exhibition contrasts fleeting moments with the camera’s ability to preserve memories through photography and installation.
Very often photos are thought of as only depicting a single fraction of second; this work breaks that paradigm by allowing the viewer to experience the transition from past to present and possibly glimpse into the future. Photography has the ability to create and image that cannot be fully realized by the naked eye, it can be manipulated in a way that tells a story, and can be an outlet for contemplation and deeper understanding of the earth.
The works deal with themes such as temporary landscapes, cycles of life and death, how traditions and stories are shaped and skewed, and nature’s triumph over man-made structures. In this body of work time is compressed so that people can interact with the images by remembering, discovering, noticing and understanding.
The biological drive to eat is a shared condition. However, issues regarding the motives, politics and desires behind consumption manifest themselves within our society with varying impacts. How do we negotiate these potentially precarious circumstances within our culture of eating?Increasingly, American consumers are attempting to make informed decisions about what they ingest. In whose best interest does our current system – from production to consumption to elimination- act in favor of? Are there ways that we can look at nutritional sustenance with the same degree of scrutiny we apply when confronting other material desires.Often political or business concerns transform food from its primary function into a decoy for other issues. Food has the ability to generate, preserve, and create opportunities within culture. Although it is one of the primary connections between people, food can also disconnect us through our consumer choices and eating habits. Through a consideration of film submissions Ingest|Digest|Protest will be a collection of works dealing with the desires, motives, and politics behind the consumption of food.
This is a Screened event showing 11 videos from artists from around the world, and Food will be served with each video.

Beat the Heat: 10 Tips to Stay Cool!
School is almost out and if you’re planning a summer vacation with the family, you can be sure it’s only going to get warmer as the weeks progress.
As temperatures rise, we become vulnerable to heat cramps, exhaustion, dehydration, and even heat stroke.
Top 10 Ways you can stay comfortable this summer.
Okay, this one may be a little obvious but for those of you who are without an Air Conditioning Unit, spend some leisure time outside your home and enjoy a good book at your local coffee shop, take your time window shopping at your local mall, or surf the web at a nearby library. For those who want to stay home, place a bowl of ice cubes in front of your fan. Not only will the ice create a cold breeze but as the ice melts, it’ll evaporate, causing ice-cooled air to spread and help keep your home cool.
Staying hydrated during summer months is a must. Make sure that you drink plenty of water by drinking more than the recommended eight glasses per day. Other cold beverages and sports drinks rich in electrolytes can also help replace minerals and cool down your body temperature.
Frozen treats like ice cream and Popsicle can bring delight during hot and humid days, so fill up your refrigerators with these refreshing goodies during summer.
Cut up fresh fruits (best are pineapple, oranges, strawberries and grapes). Squeeze pineapples and oranges to make the juice. Put the fruits into Popsicle molds, leaving some space at the top to be filled with the juice. Add the liquids. Wrap each mold with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until firm.
To do this at home, simply soak your feet in a half-filled pail with ice cubes and water. Our body radiates heat from the palms of our hands and feet, our ears and our face, so cooling down any of these parts will eventually cool the entire body.
Another simple yet effective way to lower the body temperature is by spraying yourself with cold water from a spray bottle in the refrigerator.
Spraying water over the body’s pulse points like the neck, wrist and temples of the head – where blood vessels are closer to the surface of our skin – can help the body cool down. Make sure to bring a hand towel to wipe off excess water.
Tight and dark-colored clothes tend to trap heat coming from the sun, keeping our body feeling warm. For protection when outside, it’s best to cover yourself up with loose-fitting and light-colored clothing which reflects heat, helping the body maintain normal temperatures.
You can put household items inside the refrigerator to cool them off. Want to have a good night’s sleep during summer time? Chill your bed by placing folded sheets and pillow casings in plastic bags and letting them cool off in the fridge for a few hours. Pull them out just before going to bed for a cool and comfortable sleep.
When appliances run on electricity, they create their own heat. So turn appliances off – laptops, lights, television – when not in use. By turning them off (and unplugging them), heat circulating within the area can be reduced.
Strenuous activities should be reduced, if not eliminated, during hot days, especially during the sun’s peak hours (11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). If these activities cannot be avoided, do them during the coolest time the day, which is usually in the morning between 4:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
When all else fails, taking a cool shower once or twice everyday never disappoints. Frequent showers help lower body temperature while also rinsing off body sweat, making you feel a lot more comfortable even during hot days.
