They Didn't Ask Me

Whew... Made It... Finally

Wow. I never expected Version 1.10 of the Great YA Trilogy project to last this long. It was started on 13 March 2015 and I'm closing it out and moving onto Version 1.11 on 25 May 2015. This ends Book 1 Edit Pass 1.
Book 1 Part A Pass 1 Page 368 -- completed 04/03/2015 16:28:59
Book 1 Part B Pass 1 Page 750 -- completed 05/25/2015 16:52:22

In 73 days, Book 1 Part A grew by 30% and Book 1 Part B a whopping 130%. Book 1 total went from 126,444 to 211,544 words or 1165 words/day, plus edits.

As I mentioned before, Book 1 Part B was in "worse" shape than I'd been thinking, with several large sections I had written in my mind, but little on the paper. That happens, not a problem. Until one is trying to finish, of course. (grin) Yes, some things may be cut back or even edited out. But I wanted all the pieces in. I kept on moving the day I was expecting to finish. I'd hoped by Friday, but there was a big scene I really felt I needed to include -- and it took some time. (It'll actually be revised in Edit Pass 2, but I chose not to do the research the other day.)

At this point, what I am calling Book 1 is clearly at least two books. At 70,000 words each, it could easily be three -- I am avoiding doing this because I really like where the break currently is. The bad news is 100,000+ words isn't really typical YA novel length.

I took a little time last night to write a little 540 word short story for Memorial Day (DW) (LJ) -- something I've done before. And then I'm going to take some time working on a novella for submission. Not so bad to take a couple of days away.

No Office Hours last week or this week.

Next up, though, is Book 1 Edit Pass 2, where I finish getting names and place names finalized. This could be painful, too. But I really want to get it done quickly. Pass 2 is NOT a general editing pass, so... maybe a week? For Edit Pass 3, though, I really only have to Book 1 Part A, the first half, in order to come up with something to sent to Lulu for coming up with preliminary books for Beta readers. Would REALLY like that to be the end of June.

We shall see.

New Researches: Forsvarsmuseet, The Armed Forces Museum of Norway, is located at Akershus Castle in Oslo. Oslo founded around 1000 A.D. Oslofjorden is an inlet (not a real fjord) in the south-east of Norway, part of the Skagerrak strait, connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat sea area, which leads to the Baltic Sea. Oslo (OSL) to Copenhagen (CPH) SAS 1469, Boeing 737-800. Seat 17A has extra legroom, since there is no Seat 16A. Copenhagen (CPH) to Chicago (ORD), SAS 943, Airbus A340. Seat 3H, rightside window (2+2+2 seating). Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was in service from 1976 to 2003. The Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim in Germany is the only museum which has both a Concorde and a Tupolev Tu-144 "Concordski" on display. Arnhem, Netherlands. Vänern is the largest lake in Sweden and the largest lake in the European Union. The Daim bar came out of Sweden and Norway as a sort of Heath chocolate bar. Heath wouldn't give them a license but did give them the list of ingredients to the Heath bar. Huh. Société Bic, maker of Bic pens and lighters, is based in Clichy, France. Sankt Olav domkirke is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oslo. Catholics, including 70% immigrants, make up about 5% of the population, making Norway the most Catholic country in Nordic Europe. The northern part of Norway is in the Prelature of Tromsø -- once part of the Apostolic Prefecture of the North Pole. Catholicism was illegal in Norway between 1537 and 1843 -- priests could be executed. Svinesundbrücke/ Svinesundbroen is the bridge on the E6 at the border between Sweden and Norway, spanning the Svinesund sound of the Iddefjord. The old bridge had an arch under the roadway, the new is suspended from an arch over the roadway and is quite lovely. The Svinesund tollkontor on the Norwegian side handles customs controls, since Norway, while a member of NATO, is not a member of the EU.

A surprising amount of research, until one realizes the new sections which had to be written in the past ten days.

All the shiny counters now advance to:

Book 1 Page Edits (Pass 1)

The Lost Kingdom Project YA Trilogy Version 1.10 (05-25-15 Mo, 1412 pages)

Book 1 Part A (103,792 words, starts page 47) / Part B (107,752 words, starts page 382)

Book 2 Part A (76,905 words, starts page 41) / Part B (50,650. words, starts page 317)

Book 3 (starts page 40)

The Lost Kingdom Fourth-Fifth Novels Version 4.10 (05-25-15 Mo, 68 pages)
Book 4 (4894 words) / Book 5 (11,737 words)

The Lost Kingdom Sixth Novel Version 5.10 (05-25-15 Mo, 16 pages)
Book 6 (1629 words)

I won't kick myself about the length of Book 1 Parts A/B until I get to the point where I can sit down and read it -- and have Beta readers give it a go. I am so pleased to not have to teach until September.

And for those of you who have seen the news that SF author John Scalzi announced a $3.4 million dollar, thirteen book, ten year deal with Tor -- No, this does not mean that my mammoth epic will automagically generate six or seven figure book deals. John is a proven, solid author with an excellent track record for completing things and is a full-time author. Good news for John, congratulations, but these sorts of deals in SF/F are outliers. Not the norms.

I am smarter and more realistic than thinking I'm working towards a deal like that. (evil-grin)

Open Vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Bloomfield Hills, MI – Are you interested in a nose job procedure, but aren’t sure what type will be best for you? Dr. Ali, a Michigan plastic surgeon, explains the type of procedures you may hear about at a consultation.

“Open and closed rhinoplasty procedures are two ways plastic surgeons reshape the nose,” says Dr. Ali. “Which one your surgeon uses will depend on the current shape of your nose, as well as the preference of your surgeon. Both types of surgery have advantages and disadvantages to them, so it is important you ask your surgeon which he or she is most comfortable with, and which is recommended for you.”

A closed rhinoplasty, also known as an endonasal rhinoplasty, leaves all of the incisions inside the nostrils. This is an advantage for the patient as no visible scars will be seen. However, there are some challenges to this type of procedure. The incisions in each nostril are disconnected, which can make it harder for the nasal skin to be repositioned.

Additionally, the incisions are very small, reducing visibility for the surgeon. This can make the surgery more difficult in complex nose jobs, such as changing the shape or position of the tip of the nose. However, this can be a great technique for bridge augmentation or minor refinements of the bridge. This procedure can also be used in correcting deviated septums, as long as there aren’t major cosmetic changes needed, as well.

An open rhinoplasty is also referred to as an external rhinoplasty. There are a few hidden, internal incisions, as well as an incision along the columella, the skin that attaches the right and left nostrils. This incision adds much greater visibility for the surgeon because it allows for the skin to be lifted back, allowing the surgeon better access to the structures of the nose.

An open procedure also allows for the cartilage of the nose to be less distorted during surgery, allowing the surgeon to see all aspects of the nasal cavity in a more undisturbed manner.

“While many patients may come to a consultation with a closed rhinoplasty in mind, it’s important to remember that the scar an open procedure will leave is tiny,” says Dr. Ali. “While I perform closed rhinoplasty procedures, it is hard to deny that better accuracy can come from an open procedure. The results would far outweigh a tiny scar. Open rhinoplasty has transformed how we are able to reshape noses, giving plastic surgeons better control and precision in treating more complex cases.”

When performed by a skilled and well-trained surgeon, such as Dr. Ali, an open rhinoplasty scar will heal excellently, making it practically invisible to the naked eye. Two layers of incisions will ensure the incision will close properly, allowing for healing that will make the incisions almost imperceptible to friends.

If you are ready to discuss a nose job procedure, call Dr. Ali today.

Diabetes in midlife could lead to mental decline by 70: Study

Diabetes ages the mind about five years faster than normal, and those diagnosed in their 50s are far more likely to experience mental decline by age 70, researchers said. The study in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine was based on more than 15,000 US adults followed from 1987 to 2013.

They found 19 per cent more mental decline than expected in participants with poorly controlled diabetes, and smaller declines for those with controlled diabetes and pre-diabetes. The race of the patients had no factor in their outcomes.

Malays, Indians with Type 2 diabetes more likely to suffer strokes, heart attacks: Study

In a decade-long diabetes study, researchers from Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) found that among those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), Malays and Indians are at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases compared to Chinese patients.Malay patients had two times higher risk while Indians had 1.7 times higher risk of diseases such as heart attacks and strokes, compared to Chinese patients with T2DM, according to findings of a study released by the healthcare cluster that manages KTPH, Alexandra Health.

Coffee Addicts and Diabetes

A recent report claims people who boosted their coffee intake by “moderate to large” doses in a US-based study had a lower risk for adult-onset diabetes than those with stable consumption. Reports linking certain food and disease incidence and outcome are not uncommon. It should be noted that these studies merely report an association between the food and the disease, and do not indicate a cause and effect between consumption of the food and disease itself. To illustrate with an example, it might be that people who drinks more coffee, for some reasons coincidentally or otherwise, might just happened to have other confounding factors that reduced the risk of diabetes. These studies will not always be able to account for these ‘confounders’ as thoroughly. Therefore, reports linking certain food with risk of developing a disease should always be interpreted cautiously. When it comes to diet, moderation is always the key. And diet itself should always be in tandem with physical activity, regular heath screening and prompt medical attention in the event of disease onset, in order to ensure the best outcome.

Boy Spoke First Word with ‘Miracle’ Diabetes Treatment

A five-year-old boy whose chronic diabetes meant he had never spoken said his first words just days after starting a ‘miracle’ treatment. Jack Neighbour suffered from health complications related to neonatal diabetes and it meant he could only communicate with his family through picture cards. But just six weeks after a genetic test by a team at the University of Exeter he switched from insulin injections to tablets. While the sensational headlines here is certainly uplifting, the ‘miracle’ treatment here is probably no more than the common oral diabetic agents, likely sulphonyureas here, that are already widely used for many diabetics for a long time.

Neonatal diabetes is a form of diabetes occurring within 6 months of birth, and are commonly wrongly classified as type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes). Patients are often put on insulin injections from a tender age, often with unsatisfactory control. An astute endocrinologist will be able to easily differentiate this form of diabetes from type 1, insulin requiring diabetes. A genetic test, which is widely available nowadays can detect the presence of a mutation causing neonatal diabetes. With genetic testing result, and the presence of clinical features well supporting a diagnosis of neonatal diabetes, there is a good chance that patients can be successfully converted from insulin treatment to oral agents, often with marked improvement in their sugar control and quality of life.

The story here underscore the importance of seeking proper treatment for your diabetes, and consulting an endocrinologist promptly when there are unusual features in your diabetes that does not commensurate with the garden variety diabetes which are ubiquitous nowadays.

Scientists Find Key ‘Fat Genes’

Geneticists said on Wednesday they had pinpointed the most important obesity gene yet, and its functioning may explain why some people are more prone to obesity than others. It is worthwhile remembering that besides genes, obesity is a culmination of multiple other factors including lack of exercise and poor dietary habits. So rather than putting all the blame on your genes, an active lifestyle and good dietary choices still remain the most important interventions in mitigating obesity.

Obesity and related diseases like diabetes have gained epidemic proportions in many developed countries. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), obesity nearly doubled worldwide from 1980 to 2008.

One Million Kg Challenge Launched To Get Singaporeans To Keep Fit

The Health Promotion Board (HPB), Singapore, has launched a first-of-its-kind nationwide challenge to encourage Singaporeans who are overweight and at risk of becoming obese to battle the bulge.

According to the National Health Survey 2010, 1.7 million Singaporeans have a body mass index (BMI) of 23 or above, and they are at risk of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases and stroke. HPB says one million Singaporeans with BMI of 23 or more are either already pre-diabetic, or suffer at least one or more chronic condition such as diabetes. The One Million KG Challenge aims to get Singapore residents to collectively lose one million kilogrammes by 2016.

These community initiatives reflect a greater awareness of the need to combat obesity in order to curb the increasing prevalence of diabetes, amongst other lifestyle diseases. While community initiatives like this are highly commendable in their efforts to inspire the general public to lose weight and improve their health, the bigger challenge lies in how to maintain the weight lost and to persist in living a healthy lifestyle after the challenge is over.

New Diabetes Prevention Website Launched in Singapore

A new diabetes prevention website has been launched in an attempt to stop what doctors say is a worsening epidemic in Asia. Studies have shown that Asians are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, when compared with people of European ancestry. Asians are also more likely to develop the disease even at a lower BMI. This means that even though some Asian populations currently have a lower prevalence of overweight and obese individuals than populations in the West, they have a disproportionately high percentage of people with diabetes. Currently, 60% of the world’s diabetic population is Asian.

In Singapore, already 11.3% of adults have diabetes, and the numbers are set to worsen with the aging population and increasing obesity prevalence.

New Diabetes Drug To Be Available

Another new drug canagliflozin has been approved for the treatment of diabetes in the UK. This is a new class of anti-diabetic medication that has joined the existing armory of oral agents in treatment of diabetes. Very soon, the drug will be available in Singapore similarly. The potential market for type 2 diabetes drugs is enormous and growing. An estimated 382 million people worldwide have diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation, with numbers set to worsen in many countries with aging population and increasing prevalence of obesity. While the addition of new treatment for diabetes is welcome, no drug is perfect enough to be a miracle panacea for the treatment of diabetes. Successful management of diabetes requires the concerted effort of appropriate medications, the sound clinical judgement of an astute physician, conscientious lifestyle modifications, consistent dietary habits, and most importantly, the patients’ motivation and desire to control their diabetes well.

Panic Disorders

A panic disorder is a type of Anxiety Disorder. When a person has a panic disorder they often experience periods of intense anxiety or fear that may be referred to as Panic Attacks. These feelings of anxiety are usually accompanied by at least 5 of the following symptoms:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Tightness or chest pain
  • Trembling or shaking
  • A sense of unreality
  • Dry mouth
  • Muscle tension
  • Difficulty gathering thoughts or speaking
  • Pounding/racing heart
  • Tingling in the hands or feet
  • Choking or smothering sensation
  • Sweating
  • Hot or cold flashes
  • Urge to flee/escape
  • Nausea or “butterflies” in stomach
  • Blurred vision
  • Fear of dying, losing control or going “crazy”

Panic attacks can range from mild to extremely severe. A panic attack may last anywhere from a few minutes to twenty minutes, with the peak of the attack usually occurring between the fifth and tenth minutes. In mild cases, the attacks are sporadic and do not greatly interfere with the person’s daily routine.

In very severe cases, panic attacks can occur over and over again during the day and/or night, so that the person may feel that he/she is in a constant state of panic. Usually, a panic attack is like a wave: it starts fairly low, then rises, peaks and then subsides. Panic attacks can be very frightening and disturbing. It is important to know that one panic attack does not mean someone has panic disorder. Only recurring panic attacks may lead to this diagnosis.

There are three common complications of panic disorder. The first complication is Anticipatory Anxiety. Because panic attacks are often very unpleasant and frightening, a person may develop an Anticipatory Anxiety. This means that they may feel anxious about the next panic attack, that may or may not come, during times when they do not experience a full blown attack. In other words, they become anxious because they anticipate that they will have to experience another panic attack.

The second possible complication of panic disorder is called Agoraphobia. The term comes from Latin and is actually a two-word expression: Agora means market place and Phobia mean fear. Thus, the word Agoraphobia means “a fear of the market place”. The condition involves a fear of crowded places or any place outside of the home. People who have experienced panic attacks may avoid situations that they believe may bring about an attack. For example, if the initial panic attack occurred in a mall or a supermarket, the person may avoid going to such places in the hope of avoiding a panic attack. Avoidance behavior may exacerbate the anxiety in the long run by feeding into it, and may also create a dependency on other people (see case example).

The third possible complication of panic disorder is Depression. When someone experiences recurrent panic attacks, their quality of life is adversely affected. People who have panic disorder may develop a negative view of themselves and their ability to cope. They may view themselves as weak in character and think of themselves as “crazy” or inherently flawed. These beliefs may result in feelings of self-loathing, helplessness and/or hopelessness, which, if remain untreated, may lead to Depression. All three possible complications highlight why it is extremely important for people with Panic Disorder to get treatment as soon as possible.

What causes panic disorder?

To date, researchers have not been able to identify a specific cause or causes of panic disorder. In the past, it was hoped that certain identifiable biological predispositions would explain the onset of this disorder, but research has failed to identify any predispositions that are unique to panic disorder. They found, however, that people with panic disorder usually have one or more members of their immediate family who have some type of an anxiety disorder.

For example, different siblings in a family may develop different types of anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Thus, we do not know of an exclusive biological cause of panic disorder, but we do know that a person may be at higher risk of developing this disorder, if one or more family members have some type of anxiety disorder. In recent years, research has focused on the contribution of stress to the development of panic disorder. It has been noted that people who perceive a lot of stress in their lives or who have experienced a major life event such as divorce, or death of a loved one, may develop this disorder.

As well, researchers have found that cognitions, i.e. thought patterns, may contribute to the occurrence of panic attacks. Specifically, if a person perceives or interprets a situation as dangerous, or if they perceive or anticipate loss of control in situations, they may develop panic attack. To summarize, there is no single cause of panic disorder. Rather, it may be a combination of biological predisposition for anxiety, stress, and cognitive processes.

Treatment options

The most commonly used treatments for panic disorder are cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication or a combination of the two. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the relationships between behaviors, feelings, thoughts and the environment. Specifically, in cases of panic disorder the use of exposure to the threatening situation, breathing retraining, relaxation techniques and cognitive restructuring have been found very helpful.

In fact, CBT has been found to be as equally effective as medication in treating panic attacks. Therefore, CBT should be the first treatment of choice for panic disorder. Cognitive-behavioral therapy must be provided by a trained, licensed or registered health-care professional such as psychologist, marriage and family therapist, psychiatrist or registered counsellor. Medications have been successfully used to alleviate the symptoms of panic attacks.

There are four possible types of medication that have been commonly used to treat this disorder. These are they tricyclic antidepressants, the benzodiazepines, the beta-blockers and the monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Most medications can be prescribed by a family physician, while some medications can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist. The use of medication to treat panic disorder has its pros, such as quick relief of symptoms and cons, such as side effects, which should be discussed with the client before first taking them. Combination therapy means that both medication and cognitive-behavior therapy are being provided to the client at the same time. Combination therapy research has yielded mixed results, i.e. at present we cannot be sure that combining CBT with medication is superior to any of these treatments on their own.

However, some clinicians and clients alike have found that a combination of the two therapies works better than either one on its own. Treatment plans should be discussed by the therapist and the client, and should be evaluated throughout the process of treatment and recovery.

Taku Hirano

It isn’t all done with a drum set, Bass drum at one foot, hi hats at the other and a snare drum between the knees. Bands that want to add more colors, shaping and texture to their music often figure out what Latin bands have known for years, and add a percussionist to their rhythm section.

Among percussionists, Taku Hirano is one of the busiest. I remember a conversation with him, shortly after he graduated from Berklee School of Music: He had a good gig, touring with Kenny Loggins, but was wondering aloud where his next gig would come from.

That conversation could never take place again! In the next few years, Taku toured with Fleetwood Mac, Lionel Richie, Isaac Hayes, Bette Midler, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and others.

Between tours he was able to fit in recordings with Dr. Dre, Jay Z., Jason Mraz, Josh Groban, Nelly Furtado and the Temptations, as well as with tour mates Fleetwood Mac, Whitney Houston, Stevie Nicks and Lionel Ritchie.

In between all of this he has added live performances with Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Usher, Sean “Diddy” Combs, John Mayer, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Le Ann Rimes, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, the Neville Brothers, Wyclef Jean, Travis Tritt, Sheila E., and even the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, Cirque de Soleil, and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

I’m leaving half of these credits out, just to save time, and haven’t mentioned the writing for two drumming magazines, the remixing and consulting for Kanye west and Trent Reznor, his stature as a teacher, or the production project he has co-founded, Tao of Sound, which has two records out ….so far

With work in every genre of music imaginable, with homes in L.A, New York and New Orleans, Taku is in touch with the heart, substance and spirit of American music.

A hidden gem in the interior of Historic Columbia River Highway, this is a very unique 1.5 mile round trip hike. Whereas hikes are usually along a river/shoreline, the trail for Oneonta Gorge is the river itself. Thats right, be prepared to climb above and under massive tree trunks, and then go shoulder deep into freezing gorge water to reach the absolutely stunning waterfall at the end of the gorge.

Words cannot explain what our eyes captured and our souls felt on this eventful day. It was  the feeling in my half numb toes, the wind from the force of the waterfall in my hair, the fine spray of clearwater on my face. The sounds of people squealing as they entered the freezing water, and those voices being drowned by the thundering sounds as we approached the waterfall. The silence and awe in the air when we reached the end of the gorge and the canopy of water welcomed us.

Although a hidden gem, its pretty popular with the locals and can be quite busy over the weekends. This one was on a Monday 🙂

This one will always hold a special place in my tiny little world.

20 Replies to “Oneonta Gorge, Oregon”

  1. This should be an amazing place: this is the impression I had by looking at your pictures and reading your post. Must be very popular considring how many people are visiting the place!

  2. Hike through the gorge definitely sounds tough but who would not want to take that trouble when something so gorgeous and wonderful is awaiting you at the end of that strenuous journey. Beautiful pictures!

  3. I love how you describe your hike – reminds me of when I hiked through many of the trails of Oregon and Washington. What a cool find, and so worth the effort of getting there!

  4. This is a beautiful place. I must say being a monday, the crowd was still quite big. Is it usual to have such crowds on weekdays ? Or maybe this crowd is solely of the tourists and less of the locals?

  5. This is the second post about Oregon that I read this week, and you’re convincing me quite fast that I need to visit soon! 🙂
    Such an incredible nature and landscape, that waterfall looks just amazing!

  6. I love your descriptive writing! It was like I almost felt that wind and water on my face! Thank you for discovering this hidden gem, it looks so beautiful. I totally understand your feelings and excitement. I also hiked to find a similar waterfall in February.

The place are you able to go to discover a stress-free life-style, a way of group, and recent corn on the cob in December?

Two years in the past, Harris Ballot performed a nationwide survey asking lively adults over 55 about their retirement plans. This survey discovered that if child boomers needed to dwell someplace aside from their dwelling state, Hawaii was their first selection. The approach to life, climate and tradition varies from island to island and from group to group, however all the Aloha State presents a 12 months spherical regular heat local weather, a few of the best surroundings on the planet, and limitless issues to do. If you’re contemplating Hawaii as a spot to retire, an skilled Realtor might help you discover your good retirement dwelling.

Sure, actual property in Hawaii might be costly, however not rather more and possibly lower than the fascinating areas of California, Florida and Arizona. If you’re now residing within the northern a part of the USA or in Canada the place heating payments can price a small fortune, the climate in Hawaii can be a welcome change. Hawaii has many micro-climates — some areas with an excessive amount of rain, others with virtually no rain in any respect — and you’d be properly suggested to speak to any individual who is aware of the islands.

Though Hawaii is a very talked-about place for retirees, it doesn’t have that really feel of most retirement communities on the mainland. Lots of those that have retired to Hawaii are typically concerned in bodily, social actions and golf equipment. Others might wish to simply sit and skim, with frequent glances on the mountains or the ocean.

Tulum is just the gem of the Mayan Riviera hall. It’s a diver paradise Subterranean rivers unite from all around the Yucatan Peninsula and the Riviera Maya of Mexico. Tulum is split into three fundamental areas: Tulum City, Tulum Resort Zone and the magical Tulum Archaeological web site. The City is settled on the edges of the 307 freeway, the place business and social actions happen. It’s 130km/80 miles from Cancún.

Tulum’s magic begins in its splendid archeological websites. It’s the most well-liked of Mexico’s Mayan websites, and for a number of good causes. Tulum is surrounded by three partitions and with the ocean forming the fourth boundary town was designed to be defensive. Tulum is among the most visited of all Mayan ruins, and it is also the one main Mayan wreck to be discovered alongside Mexico’s Caribbean shoreline on the “Riviera Maya”. Tulum is no doubt essentially the most beautiful historical web site within the Maya world and regarded to be one of the crucial stunning Mayan archaeological websites. Tulum is certainly not the most important, however its location serves as a hanging backdrop to its historical past.

Tulum is greater than a sunny escape: it has expansive Mayan ruins, swimmable, fresh-water springs and beautiful ecotourism. It’s the mixture of a seashore shoreline, archeological zone, and city. Tulum presents its guests a superb place bodily and religious rest, the potential for practising meditation, yoga or taking a conventional Maya Temazcal steam bathtub, or take pleasure in a delighted seashore therapeutic massage.

Tulum lodge zone was constructed with a pure and easy structure, to just about mix into the pure environment. It leans in direction of the seashore cabana type, providing the whole lot from easy lodging choices to newer, extra expensive stylish type palapas. The lodge zone is a mile east on the seashore, as do the well-known Mayan Tulum ruins. Resorts simply steps away from the the seashore that are for essentially the most half, small, low-rise and fairly easy. Tulum lodge zone has simply few motels and cottages on this extension of 9km, coming from the city and turning left you could have three km and turning proper the others 6 km.

Tulum can also be surrounded by lush jungle stuffed with crystal clear freshwater swimming pools known as cenotes that provide a refreshing reprise from the tropical setting. Tulum can get crowded and sizzling, so it’s best to go to within the morning earlier than the cruise boat and bus teams arrive round 10:00Tulum can also be well-known for its cenotes; Mom Nature’s personal crystalline recent water swimming pools that are immersed in historical past and Maya ritual. Their Tulum motels have very totally different kinds, costs and facilities. Tulum is actually the vacation spot for eco-tourism, nature, quiet, solar and historical past lovers.

8-course lute

8-course lute after Frei middle 16th century, by Robert Lundberg 1976
– used for Earl of Derby Galliard and John Smith’s Almaine by John Dowland

EMS_LUTE - 12_sm EMS_LUTE - 13_sm EMS_LUTE - 14_sm

Several of the most important printed sources of European lute music call sporadically for an 8-course lute, principal among them Robert Dowland’s Varietie of Lute Lessons (1610), Antoine Francisque’s Le Trésor d’Orphée (1600), and Nicolas Vallet’s Le Sécrets des Muses and J. B. Besard’s Thesaurus Harmonicus (1603). But among extant lutes, there are no 8-course models. This particular lute is built on the ‘long’ Frei body, later used and widely copied for use in the middle and late 17th century for 11-course lute construction.

But early in the lute revival, beginning in the 1950’s it was felt that the 8-course lute filled a need to play especially English music, which mostly calls for seven courses, tuned either to F or D. So it was felt that an 8-course lute would answer this need, even though evidence for its existence was confined only to a small number of pieces in a few influential printed sources. By taking what is essentially a bass lute body and modifying it with decreased string length, altered bridge position and appropriate pegbox, what would have to be regarded as an anachronism of lute design was born and accepted by many players.

This particular lute is an example of that historical revisionism–beautifully built, well-balanced, suited to a wide variety of transitional material, but historically something of an orphan. Seven course lutes there were aplenty, nine and ten courses were common, but it seems that by and large, composers skipped over eight. But the lute is no less enjoyable for its dubious provenance.

9 July 1998 What an optical designer can do for you after you get the design
Author Affiliations +
Once the optical design for a spectrograph is finalized, a number of tasks remain for the optical designer which largely simplify the engineering, fabrication, and assembly of the instrument. Such tasks include sensitivity analysis for alignment tolerances, flexure tolerances and flexure compensation, distributions of radiation incidence angles for coating design, and thermal analysis for thermal compensation. For the Keck ESI instrument, the entire spectrograph and guiding system optical designs were directly translated into a 3-dimensional AutoCADr file, complete with clear apertures, actual traced rays, beam envelopes, stray light, and footprints of the beam paths at the optical surfaces. The mechanical engineers could then design the spectrograph structure in 3-dimensions around the existing optical layout.

Asatru is one of the most widely used terms for Germanic neopagan and reconstruction practice in the United States. It first became popular in the 1970s and has continued to grow, resulting in one of the most organized and widespread recon-oriented pagan religions in the US. Adherents may vary in what periods of historical belief they draw on - some work primarily with the Eddas, collections of mythology written in Iceland in the 13th century, others work to recreate the beliefs of the Viking era, and still others used the term to refer to broader Germanic practice. It sometimes overlaps with Anglo-Saxon paganism as well.

The word 'Asatru' means 'true to the Aesir' or 'faith in the Aesir'. The Aesir are the more prominent of the two groups of Norse gods, the other group being the Vanir. Asatruar often venerate members of both groups. Aesir are generally said to live in Asgard, the highest of the nine worlds in popular Norse cosmology. These nine worlds are connected by, or sometimes set within the branches of, a large world tree referred to as Yggdrasil.

Popular deities among Asatruar include:

  • Odin
  • Frigga
  • Tyr
  • Thor
  • Freya
  • Frey

Town of Warwick, NY
Orange County
By using eCode360 you agree to be legally bound by the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, please do not use eCode360.
Table of Contents
Table of Contents
[Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Warwick as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Agricultural and open space preservation and acquisition — See Ch. 54.
Zoning — See Ch. 164.
[Adopted 1-21-2016 by L.L. No. 1-2016]
It is the declared policy of the Town of Warwick to conserve, protect and encourage the use of its agricultural land for the production of food and other agricultural products. When nonagricultural land uses extend into agricultural areas, agricultural operations often become the subject of nuisance suits. It is the purpose of this policy to reduce the loss to the Town of its agricultural resources by limiting the circumstances under which agricultural operations may be deemed to be a nuisance. It is expressly found that whatever nuisance may be caused to others by such uses and activities so conducted with sound agricultural practices is more than offset by the benefits from farming to the Town economy by the production of local food and products, and to neighborhood and community and to society, in general, by the preservation of open space by maintaining the inherent beauty of the countryside and by the preservation and continuance of farming operations in the Town of Warwick.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
Those activities involved in the production of crops, livestock, and livestock products by farm operations, all as defined in § 301 of Article 25-AA of the New York Agriculture and Markets Law of New York, including but not limited to the following:
Field crops including corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay, potatoes, dry beans and sod;
Vegetables including tomatoes, snap beans, cabbage, carrots, beets, onions and corn;
Fruits including apples, berries, cherries, peaches and pumpkins;
Horticultural ornamental specialties including nursery stock, shrubs, ornamental trees, flowers and vegetables;
Livestock and livestock products, including cattle, sheep, hogs, goats, horses, poultry, ratites such as ostriches, emus, rheas, kiwis, farmed deer, farmed buffalo, fur-bearing animals, wool-bearing animals, such as alpacas and llamas, milk, eggs and furs;
Christmas trees derived from a managed Christmas tree operation whether dug for transplanting or cut from the stump;
Aquaculture products, including fish, fish products, water plants and shellfish;
Forestry products such as short rotation woody crops used for bio-energy and maple syrup products.
Further, agricultural activities shall include an activity engaged in, by, or on behalf of a farmer in connection with any furtherance of the business of agriculture or farming and shall include, without limitation, the collection, transportation, distribution, composting, cooling, drying and storage of animal and poultry waste; storage, transportation and use of equipment for tillage, planting, harvesting and marketing; transportation, storage and use of legally permitted fertilizers and limes, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides; construction of farm structures and facilities, including farm wineries and other on-farm food processing, as permitted by local and state building code regulation, in order to enhance the marketing of farm products; construction and maintenance of fences and other enclosures; and the use and/or maintenance of related pastures, idle or fallow land, woodland, wetland, farm ponds, farm roads and certain farm buildings and other structures related to agricultural practices.
The Dispute Resolution Center presently located at 210 East Main Street, Middletown, New York, serving Orange, Putnam, Sullivan and Ulster Counties.
Land within an agricultural district created pursuant to § 303 or land used in agricultural production subject to an agricultural assessment pursuant to § 306 of Article 25-AA of the New York Agriculture and Markets Law, used primarily for bona fide agricultural production, for commercial purposes, of all those items and products defined in the New York Agriculture and Markets Law, § 301.
The right to farm shall apply to farmers as well as those employed or otherwise authorized to act on behalf of farmers and shall also include, subject to the provisions of § 80-3 of this article, the use of large irrigation pumps and equipment, aerial and ground seeding and spraying, cooling and drying, transporting large, slow-moving equipment over roads within the Town, and the employment of farm laborers, all for the purpose of producing from the land agricultural products such as vegetables, grains, hay, fruits, fibers, wood, trees, plants, shrubs, flowers and seeds.
This "right to farm" shall also include, subject to the provisions of § 80-3 of this article, the right to use land for grazing by animals, subject to the restrictions for intensive fowl or livestock farms. The foregoing uses and activities included in the right to farm, when reasonable and necessary for the particular farming, livestock or fowl production and when conducted in accordance with sound agricultural practices, as determined in accordance with § 80-3 of this article, may occur on holidays, Sundays and weekdays, any time of night or day, and the noise, odors, dust and fumes that are caused by them are also specifically incorporated in the right to farm. In addition to the factors set forth in § 80-3 of this article for determining whether an agricultural practice is sound, and in determining the reasonableness of the time, place and methodology of such operation, due weight and consideration shall be given to traditional customs and procedures in the agricultural industry, advances resulting from increased knowledge or improved technologies and whether or not the practice is legal and not causing off-site property damage or bodily harm.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, agricultural activities conducted on farmland, if consistent with sound agricultural practices as may be determined by the New York State Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets and with federal, state, and local laws, regulations or ordinances, are deemed to be reasonable and shall not constitute a nuisance.
For the purpose of giving due notice of agricultural activities to proposed new residential areas adjacent to unimproved land being farmed or suitable, this article authorizes the Town Planning Board requirement that any applicant for an adjacent major or minor subdivision, as a condition of approval of such application, include a provision in each and every deed conveying all or any portion of the lands thereby subdivided, as well as on filed final subdivision maps, the following record notice to and waiver by grantees of such present or future proximate farming uses, which provision shall be made to run with the land:
Agricultural Notes: Being that this project is located within 2,000 feet of an agriculturally zoned district or within the AP-O District, it may have active farming operations in the vicinity. Be advised of the following:
Farming is encouraged in the Town; it does not only occur between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and is dependent on Mother Nature. Residents should be aware of noise from agricultural machinery being operated in nearby fields in both early morning and evening hours and noise from crop drying fans, which run 24 hours a day during harvest season.
The roads leading to and from the subdivision are frequently traveled by farmers and their slow-moving vehicles and equipment.
Farmer neighbors very often spray their crops with pesticides in accordance with accepted practices of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (6 NYCRR Part 325).
Existing agricultural operations may create both unavoidable odors and unsightliness commonly associated with farming operations in the area.
There are dangers in letting children and pets roam into any adjacent agricultural fields, which is private property.
Residences for seasonal farm laborers are an accessory use to farming activities in the agricultural zone.
Be advised of the nuisance of blowing black dirt caused by wind storms in the area.
In accordance with § 164-46J(23) of the Town Code, no Building Department permit for a new residence shall be issued and no lot shall be sold or conveyed in the Agricultural Industry and Agricultural Protection Overlay Districts unless the applicant/purchaser of such residence/lot files a statement with the Town Clerk that he or she understands that the lot lies within the Agricultural Zoning District within which the primary activity is farming.
A declaration referencing the Agricultural Notes has been recorded in the Orange County Clerk's Office at Liber _______ and Page ______ on _______________.
In accordance with New York State Real Property Law § 333-c and Real Property Tax Law § 574 and Agriculture and Markets Law § 310, prior to the sale, purchase, or exchange of any real property located partially or wholly within an Orange County Agricultural District established pursuant to the provisions of New York State Agriculture and Markets Law Article 25-AA, the prospective grantor shall deliver to the prospective grantee a notice which states the following:
"It is the policy of New York State and the Town of Warwick to conserve, protect and encourage the development and improvement of agricultural land for the production of food and other products, and also for its natural and ecological value. This notice is to inform prospective residents that the property they are about to acquire lies partially or wholly within an agricultural district and that farming activities occur within the district. Such farming activities may include, but are not limited to, activities that cause noise, dust and odors."

    Sun Pharma denies getting new whistleblower complaint, says not privy to content

    We are not privy to the contents of the document being referred, Sun Pharma said.

    Sun Pharma shares crash 8.5% amid reports of fresh whistleblower complaint

    Related Companies

    NEW DELHI: Pharma major Sun Pharmaceutical Industries on Friday said it has not received the alleged 172-page whistleblower complaint a media article talked about.

    “We are not privy to the contents of the document being referred (to) in the said media article,” it said.

    Sun Pharma responded to a BSE query that sought sequence of events in a chronological order and the material impact of any such development.

    The media report suggested that a whistleblower has filed a complaint against Sun Pharma. This, according to the same report, was the same whistleblower who had complained to Sebi in the Ranbaxy insider trading case.

    Sun Pharma said there is a great asymmetry in the information circulating among analysts, investors and media leading to intense speculation.

    The availability of information in the purported whistleblower's documents to a set of select investors does put others, including retail investors, at a disadvantageous position, it said.

    The drugmaker asked Sebi to examine the matter in its entirety, and the role of some media houses and other stakeholders.

    "We are concerned that certain entities/individuals are adopting unfair trade practices prejudicial to the interest of shareholders and other stakeholders. It is evident from the fact that shareholders' value has been drastically eroded within a short span of time due to unsubstantiated complaint/allegation against the company and mala fide campaign launched by certain media houses," the company held.

    Following the clarification, the scrip recovered a bit. At 2.50 pm, the scrip was ruling at Rs 387, down 9.4 per cent. Earlier in the day, it fell as much as 12 per cent to hit a low of Rs 375.40.

    There were signs that certain FIIs were liquidating their positions, said Sameer Kalra, Equity Research Analyst and Founder, Target Investing.

    “Sun Pharma has been facing issues on corporate governance for the past few months. The company had in the past met FIIs to explain its stand,” he said.

    The market is clearly divided on the issue. "A few people are very concerned on the corporate governance issue, but I think the management has already clarified most of the things... and one of them was their sales to Aditya Medisales, there also they had clarified. My understanding is that because up to 2017, Aditya Medisales was not required to be reported as a related party," said Ranvir Singh of Systematix Shares.

    Singh does not see a further downside in the stock from here.

    Sebi last month confirmed reports that it had received a whistleblower complaint against Sun Pharma, India’s largest drugmaker. MD Dilip Shanghvi in an hour-long chat with investors had maintained that the company followed highest standards of corporate governance.

    Sun Pharma, meanwhile, clarified that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries voluntarily recalled certain batches of Vecuronium Bromide Injection in the US market at the hospital level due to identification of particulate matter identified as glass.

    “This product has a negligible contribution to our consolidated revenues and hence, this recall will not have any material impact on our financials,” it said.

    If all sales of Sun Pharma in India are being routed through Aditya Medisales then how come none of the drug labes on Sun Pharma''s products say that the drug is marketed by Aditya Medisales. All labels state that the drug is marketed by Sun Pharma. There is a big underlying tax and disclosure fraud going on for years. Who is accountable for this? Who will take action? When will the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizer under which pharma industry falls be held accountable.
    Tinku A633 days ago
    Why is SEBI silent on this issue if it is the one who has received the whistleblower complaint. The Ministry of Company Affairs and Finance Ministery are directly responsible if SEBI is keeping mum. PM Modi, all your good work in checking corruption in India is been put the back burner if no action is being taken against fraudulent companies like Sun Pharma, who have not only committed financial fraud but also has been caught by USFDA multiple times of selling sub standard drugs. Ironically, till date not once has the corrupt Food and Drug Controller of India has found any wrongdoing by the company.

Recipe – ‘Youvetsi’ (Greek Lamb Stew with Orzo Pasta)

I love one-dish suppers, especially when they involve pasta of any sort.

There are many versions of Youvetsi, a traditional Greek recipe where orzo pasta is added to the stew at the very end. Purists will probably be up in arms about this not being 100% traditional as it’s relatively quick but my goal is to make food that tastes fabulous in the shortest possible time.

The combined flavors are wonderful with lots of fresh rosemary, a hint of spice and tender chunks of lamb simmered in a tomato-y sauce. I recommend using leg of lamb for the leanest cut but shoulder will also do very well.

The addition of fresh spinach gives you a healthy dose of green – just add more if this isn’t enough for you.

Youvetsi , Greek Lamb Stew with Orzo

Greek Lamb Stew with Orzo Pasta – ‘Youvetsi’

(Serves 4-6)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1lb (450g) of lean lamb cut into 2-inch (5cm) chunks

1 medium onion, finely chopped

A fat garlic clove, minced

A sprig of fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and minced

1/2 a teaspoon of ground allspice

2 bay leaves

14 oz (400g) can of chopped tomatoes

7 fl oz (200ml) of chicken stock

2 teaspoons of runny honey

A pinch of sea salt

7 oz (200g) of orzo pasta

4-6 oz (120g) of washed baby spinach leaves

3 oz (75g) of crumbled feta cheese to serve

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy sauté pan or casserole with a lid and brown the meat in batches. Set aside. Add the onion and garlic and cook gently until soft then return the meat to the pan, adding the rosemary, allspice and bay leaves. Stir to combine and cook for another minute or so over moderate heat.

Add the honey, salt, chicken stock and canned tomatoes with their juice then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the orzo according to the packet instructions, drain and rinse under cold water. Add the orzo to the lamb stew along with the spinach leaves.

Give it a good stir to wilt the leaves then cover the pan and take it off the heat to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving with a sprinkle of crumbled feta.

Gas Fireplace Operation Sequence How Does Gas Fireplace Works?

Our Fireplace Repair Mission technicians will explain full fireplace operation for you during the service call .

There are several electrical and mechanical components involved during a gas fireplace operation.

In most gas fireplaces there is a switch and Thermostat on the wall, or a remote control to call for heat.

Thermocouple:  when fire Hits the thermocouple and heats it, it generates low voltage electricity and sends a Signal through thermocouples wire to the gas control valve actually this signal for the gas valve is called proof of having a flame!  the gas control valve gets this signal and holds the pilot.

Thermo-pile or power generator:  in thermo-pile only gas fireplaces power generator does the same thing that thermocouple does.

But in fireplaces that has thermocouple and thermo-pile it’s different, these kind of gas fireplaces after the pilot light stays lit and there is a call for heat from thermostat or wall switch or a remote control, thermopile tells to gas control valve to open the gas to the main burner.

Gas valve:

Gas control valve is the brain of your gas fireplace because all other components like a thermocouple, thermo-pile and the thermostat are all wired to the gas control valve and gas control valve has specific connections for each of these components. and that’s why that’s gas control valve is the most expensive part of your gas fireplace when it comes to repair.

3 Great Travel Photography Display Ideas

Personally, the travel experience is not only about the journey but also about creating a setting at home that reminds me of the memories that were created while on those adventures and who it was with. I have found over the last few years that my group of friends has changed so much that looking back, you forget quickly about certain people and only seeing the photos reminds you of them again.

Take for instance a wedding, I can say that about 40% of those invited to my wedding are no longer around. Most have moved away but mostly just because life changes and so do your interest. This applies to travelling as well. I have been on a number of adventures (I am quite social when I travel) where I have met people and got on really well with them but because you do not see them again, they are quickly forgotten. This is where photos and videos are such great tools to relive the memories.

But how do we capture the memories without it becoming an overbearing and interfering exercise as has become the case very often these days. I recently wrote an article called “Smartphones – Improving the adventure” that deals with the balance of photos and videos and the holiday experience. It s a very sensitive tops as nobody likes to be told that they have a problem with their phones but that exactly what a lot of us have today, a phone and camera addiction.

The second part of the issue is once you have these amazing photos, what do you do with them other than uploading them to Facebook or Instagram. Well I would like to share with you the 3 ways I currently do this in my own home and I really hope this provides some inspiration for you to do this in your own home.

Electronic Photo Frames

Electronic photo frames have come a long way in terms of the size and quality of the displays. There are so many types, makes models and resolutions to choose from whereas only a few years ago, there was only a handful. There are a couple of key considerations when looking to purchase one of these:

  1. Screen Size
  2. Resolution
  3. Design
  4. Motion sensors
  5. Storage capacity

When deciding to purchase a picture frame, the size should always be the first consideration. The size is not the overall size of the unit including the housing but rather the screen size which often ranges from approx. 8 -17 inches with the option of either a standard or wide screen design.

The resolution like with any display is important as the quality of the photos can be greatly affected by this. The resolution is also linked to either LCD or LED screen options which are all available.

The overall design relates to the plastic screen housing that includes the mounting options as well. The design will differ for those meant to be wall-mounted as compared to free-standing and one should take this into account before making a selection. The frames are also manufacture in a range of different colours so there is plenty to choose from.

The new generation frames have an integrated motion sensor that activates the frame when someone enters the room. It does prolonged the screen life and reduces the energy consumption so this is a nice feature to have.

Frames are either manufactured with onboard storage or there is a possibility to load the photos to either a card or stick and just plug it into the back. The software will access the information provided it is in the correct format and cycle through it with little input from you.

It’s important to take photos with the highest quality setting possible as any low quality photos will be displayed as pixelated similar to how old films look on new 4k televisions. Many new units make video playback an option so HD or higher videos are also recommended ensuring the best quality when being displayed.

Global Scratch Map

I loved this idea from the moment I saw it. The concept is very simple in that you receive a print of the globe with a type of foil Travel Scratch Mapprinted over each country. As you travel the globe, use either a coin or something sharp to remove the foil over the country you have returned from and mount it to your wall.

This is a living art piece as it will develop throughout your life and travels as you journey to new places. I found that I needed 2 of these as I have a professional travel scratch globe used only for work/my life prior to being married and one that I use together with my wife to show where we have been together.

There are so many options, colours and styles available that there is something that will satisfy everyone personal preferences or decorative requirements.

Travel Books

This idea I actually got from an older couple that had spent their lives touring the world, ranging from 3 months in a camper driving across Australia to the annual night-time Malaysian Grand Prix, this couple has done it all. When I walked into the study in their house, they have complete wall dedicated only to travel books. While our modern age no longer needs these books as we have electronics and blogs to read up where to go and what to do, this is still a fantastic feature for your home.

I started collecting these travel books in the same fashion more aimed at displaying them like a library than to be used in the traditional sense. I have tried to purchase them all from the same manufacturer to keep the overall look the same.

I found the DK Eyewitness series to be beautifully illustrated and well written should you wish to use them to research the destination you are travelling to. The series covers all major tourist destinations with some providing a broad overview of a country and others being city specific for a really in depth guide.

A Final Word

Whatever method you choose to display your adventures, the idea should be to remind yourself of the people in your life that might no longer be there or the special moments you have shared with loved ones.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and let me know what unique way you display your travels by leaving something in the comments section, I would love to hear from you.

Till next time……….

    We’ve opted for electronic photo frames for our home after seeing my parents using two in their living room filled with images from their trip to Greece – they really do work well and the options for transitions between each image are very advanced and professional.

    Never considered the Global scratch map before, although it looks a great idea – do they sell them on Amazon by any chance?

  2. Ngonidzashe Manzwangani says:

    Pretty amazing idea, this is so important because I have found that storing photos in a phone or PC is good but not as good as it would be when the picture is nicely hanged on a wall, in a picture frame. I have many photos of my family that dates back 10 years ago and each time I look at them, they bring back a lot of good memories.

    I had a lot of takeaways from your article, thank you so much

    • Richard says:

      I have found the same thing. When looking at them on the computer it immediately brings back the memory but to have them displayed is so much better. This is when having a wife thats great at decorating helps alot!

      Thanks for leaving your personal experience.

  3. Fran C. says:

    I have always been horrible at collecting physical memories.

    I never used to take photos, getting better now with 2 kids.

    I’m still horrible at keeping track of my photos and displaying them in the house.

    The truth is that memories exist but they need to be recalled every once in a while.

    After reading your post I’m decided to try out all 3 methods. There’s more to travelling than just going to places, I want to keep those memories close.

    Thanks for this post!

    • Richard says:

      Hi Fran,

      I had the same issue where I took almost no photos but have over time developed a balance between living in the moment and taking photos.

      I am glad this has assisted with some ideas on how to display the memories.
