Long Journey From Yogyakarta to Bangkok

When I said long journey, I'm not in hyperbolic speech. This is true long journey. After selected as one of Thailand Medical Tourism Blog Contest finalists, I got airline ticket to flying from Yogyakarta on Sunday, 21th Nov 2010 using Garuda Indonesia connecting with Singapore Airlines.

FYI, flying from Yogyakarta to Jakarta take about 55 minutes. Using car need about 12 hours, and using executive train need about 8-10 hours.

Adisutjipto Airport authority already operated the aiport again today (20th Nov 2010 12.00 GMT+7) after closed for more than 2 weeks after Merapi volcano eruption.

Then, Garuda contact me and said that the flight is cancelled. So I went to Garuda office to get re-schedule, but this is weekend, and all seats fully booked. Despite of gambling with airport and weather condition, I decided to get a train ticket.

Once again, queue in the ticketing office at Tugu Train Station Yogyakarta is very long because many people change their transportation from airplane to other alternatives (car, bus, and train).

Thanks to PT Kereta Api, because we can book and buy ticket online, so I bought one. Now, I'm on the way to Jakarta, and I hope everything is okay so I can arrive to Bangkok on time.

For more information about my trip to Bangkok you can visit http://medblogcontest.com/blog/5/.

Adisutjipto Airport Closed Until 20 November 2010

Adisutjipto airport Yogyakarta still closed for 2 weeks because Merapi Volcano eruption haven't go to stable condition. Volcano ash still pollute the sky, so it very dangerous for flight.

In the history, volcano ash of Mount Galunggung (1982) in Java ever made engines failure of a Boeing 747 immediately after enter the ash cloud. Fortunately, 3 of 4 engine successfully started again and landed safely at Jakarta.

The transportation authority of Indonesia close Adisutjipto Airport of Yogyakarta (IATA: JOG) until 20 November 2010.

Alternatively, people in Yogyakarta who want to fly to another cities can depart from Adisumarmo Airport Solo (IATA: SOC) or by train from Tugu Rail Station (I call it in slang language "Bandarel Tugusutjipto").

I hope Merapi Volcano back soon to the good condition so the airport will be opened because I have trip plan from Yogyakarta to Thailand on 21 Nov 2010. But the most important is I hope Yogyakarta recovered, so the refugees and life victims can back to the home to build their life again.

Chinese military aircraft likely used nearby Japanese destroyers as targets during a missile drill in international waters in the East China Sea in May, Japanese government sources said Sunday.

The Japanese government viewed the drill as "an extremely dangerous military activity" that could have developed into a contingency, the sources said.

But Japan has not lodged a protest with China or disclosed the incident publicly as it does not wish to reveal its intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities, according to the sources.

While relations between Japan and China have been improving recently, the two countries remain at odds over the East China Sea, with Japan repeatedly protesting over unilateral gas field development by China and intrusions in Japanese territorial waters by Chinese vessels.

Japan and China agreed in 2008 on joint gas field development in the East China Sea, but the project has stalled since a collision between a Chinese fishing vessel and a Japanese patrol ship in 2010 off the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands that are claimed by China, which calls them Diaoyu.

The Chinese aircraft drill indicates that tensions remain in the area, highlighting the necessity to develop a mechanism to avoid accidental clashes, defense experts said.

According to the sources, in late May several JH-7 fighter bombers approached two Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyers that were within striking distance of anti-ship missiles.

The crews of the Japanese vessels were not able to determine the intention of the Chinese pilots, who did not lock on guided missile radar.

However, units of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces intercepted communications between the Chinese aircraft in which the pilots said they would conduct a drill using the MSDF vessels as mock targets, according to the sources.

Based on analysis of the radio communications, the flight paths of the aircraft and other information, the Japanese government came to the conclusion that an anti-ship drill had been conducted.

Some Japanese government officials believe the incident was a provocation, the sources said, while defense experts said the situation needed to be further analyzed.

"Usually, it is not possible for any military organization to use another country's military as a target during a drill in international waters," said Bonji Ohara, a senior fellow at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, adding it is necessary to figure out whether the move was ordered by Chinse military commanders or just carried out by the pilots.

In 2013, a Chinese warship directed a fire-control radar at an MSDF destroyer in the East China Sea, prompting the Japanese government to lodge a protest with China.

TPS? Tenure, Promotion, and Sabbatical

So, I think by now everybody and their grandma knows that I have earned tenure and promotion to Associate Professor at the University of Tampa. Just in case you missed my Facebook and Twitter post, the Dean’s newsletter, and the global email send to all members of the UT community, here is photographic evidence of the good news!

Tenure and Promotion Letter

All joking aside, I feel proud of this accomplishment. I am immigrant afro-latinx women who started this journey with very little financial support or knowledge about the education system in North America.

Have you ever seen the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”? One of my favorite parts is when the father of bride is sitting in the kitchen table with his daughter and they are discussing who is invited to the wedding. The father feels such pride that his daughter is getting married and he wants to invite every single one of his friends. The daughter wants to keep it intimate and then the father says: “I came to this country with 8 dollars in my pocket!” and then he goes to tell her how hard he worked and the pride feels on everything they have accomplished as a family.

I sometimes feels that as my son gets older, I will say something similar to him: “Diego, your grandparents and I came to North America with one suitcase each and very little money.” This is very true! When I was 19 years old, my parents and I left our home country (Panama) to settle as an immigrant family in Canada. It was not easy. We did not know the culture, we struggled with the language, the cost of living was high, and we knew no-one. It is a really long story with sad memories, struggles, moments of triumphs, and joy. It all let eventually to settling into our new country of residence.

I wrote before about taking a year off from school to work and save money for my education. This happened immediately after I moved to Canada. I worked many jobs, including: the maintenance person (cleaning offices in the Sears headquarter building in downtown Toronto), as a front desk person in several hotels downtown Toronto, and even did a short-term gig as an admin assistant for an administrator in the Toronto School District Board. I feel a little like that Drake song “Started from the bottom”:

“Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuc*** here”

Sorry when you have affiliations to Toronto, you start quoting Drake! lol

It is true, we started from the bottom now we, as a family, are here. I made two phone calls as soon as I found about T&P. I called my mom in Toronto and I called my dad who is currently Panama. The joy in their voice was everything I needed to hear in that moment. Of course, I celebrated with my husband and son. They have all been part of this journey with me <smiles>.

Something else that I have not mentioned to many, just recently shared in a Twitter post, is that last fall in addition to my tenure & promotion (T&P) dossier, I also submitted an application for sabbatical. At my institution we are allowed to applied for sabbatical the same year you apply for T&P. The sabbatical application was approved both by the sabbatical committee and the Provost. I am very excited for the sabbatical and the projects that I will work on during that time. More on that later this year.

Happy Friday!

  1. I’m so happy for you Dr. Romero-Hall! I really enjoyed reading this. Congratulations once again on your T&P and wishing you all the best in your future endeavors! 🙂

Navigating Psychedelics: Lessons on Self-Care and Integration

Are you interested in finding out more about psychedelics? Or maybe you just want to try it out for yourself?

Then you’ve come to the right place. In here, we will be sharing with you a tool that will teach you everything you need to know about psychedelics.

What are Psychedelics?

Psychedelics are substances that can alter the thought processes of the brain. These are believed to have the ability to disable filters that suppress or block signals related to everyday functions from reaching the conscious mind. This effect is also referred to as consciousness expanding or mind expanding, where a human becomes more aware of things that are normally accessed by the human brain.

While the US government classified psychedelics as hallucinogens and dangerous substances, scientists on the other hand studied their effects. Their findings show that psychedelics may benefit people suffering from certain conditions.

Some of the common forms of psychedelics include LSD or acid, magic mushrooms, peyote, ayahuasca, salvia, and other drugs used in shamanic tradition to induce spirit journey through altered state of consciousness.

Some of the Known Benefits of Psychedelics

According to research, here are some of the benefits of using psychedelics:

  1. LSD can lower risk of end-of-life anxiety.
  2. Magic mushrooms were found to calm rather than stimulate particular brain functions.
  3. Molly or ecstasy helps release oxytocin which may be beneficial in patients suffering from PTSD or social anxiety resulting from autism.
  4. Psilocybin could help treat smoking addiction.
  5. Ayahuasca could help stop smoking addiction and untangle unconscious psychological stresses.

Dangers of Psychedelics

While there are benefits, there are also dangers that you need to consider. You see, psychedelics may not be for everyone.

It is possible for one to have a bad trip where a person could end up feeling panics or fear. Some people reported scary hallucinations. There are also accounts of people taking psychedelics and ended up hurting themselves unintentionally.

These are not recommended for the mentally unstable. More importantly, setting or the individual’s mind is very important with the use of psychedelics. One should be responsible enough to recognize if he or she is not supposed to use these types of substances.

What is Microdosing?

Microdosing in the new trend on the use of psychedelics. Those who practice microdosing do this in order to boost their energy, creativity, and relationships. Magic mushrooms is a common drug choice in microdosing but some people use other types of drugs. People take their doses a couple of times a day during breakfast. Some of those who have been microdosing say that this practice made them feel more relaxed, focused, centered, and engaged with their relationships.

Why do people choose to take psychedelics using microdosing? The idea behind this is that they take advantage of the drug benefits without having to feel subjective effects like hallucinations or altered perception.

What is Navigating Psychedelics?

Navigating Psychedelics is a comprehensive course that will introduce you to the use of psychedelics. This is from Psychedelics Today, an organization that is dedicated to the discussion and exploration of scientific, academic and other research on psychedelics. They seek to understand how psychedelics and other state of consciousness affect human potential. The course was created with the intention of filling in the gap, harm reduction, and bringing together people who are interested in this subject.

The course covers important topics such as what psychedelics really are, the common forms of entheogens, the effects of psychedelics, preparation and safety, and so much more. Overall, this provides overview on psychedelic integration and self-care.

By signing up to the course, you will learn how to prepare for a psychedelic experience, recognize a bad trip, get support from the instructors and students, expert advice and tips (they have been interviewing top experts in the field), access guided meditation to help with grounding, have a lifetime access to course material, access to Facebook Group to connect with others who are enrolled in the course, and get a list of psychedelic integration resources.

Want to try psychedelics? Avoid the dangers and have a safe trip. This course will be able to help.

Redefine expands its student accommodation pipeline in Australia with purchase of an attractive second site in Melbourne

JSE-listed diversified Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Redefine Properties (JSE: RDF) continues to build an exceptionally diversified and quality property platform after acquiring another attractive development site for student accommodation in Australia.

Redefine currently has a A$139 million development underway in Melbourne catering for 804 beds. The new site at 500 Swanston Street is very well located in relation to Melbourne University with potential for up to 700 beds – development is anticipated to begin in 2018.

“We remain focused on procuring high quality properties and opportunities across strategic geographic locations and are very excited about the upside potential in student accommodation in Australia,” says Redefine CEO Andrew Konig.

A JLL Student Accommodation report says while total full-time students in Melbourne is just under 235,000, the existing supply of beds is around 19,200.

“There is capacity for a lot more purpose built student accommodation as the market is undersupplied. With a capital uplift potential on these developments and return on equity well ahead of offshore funding costs, the investment proposition is compelling from a total return point of view,” says Konig.

The development is expected to cost A$103.3 million. Redefine’s share of the development cost is A$93 million and it is looking to develop the site at about a 10% income yield.

The development falls squarely in line with Redefine’s stated intention to expand its presence in the purpose build student accommodation market in Australia, build scale to develop a specialist student accommodation fund and leverage its international management capacity.

“Despite all the doom and gloom out there are still developments afoot. Our agile approach to development enables us to remain on course towards sustained growth, regardless of market volatility. We look forward to reaping rewards from participating in what we believe is an exciting market which has the potential to expand,” says Konig.

Sylena Nanni and Angela Parrill enjoyed a perfectly gorgeous rustic wedding under a 200-year-old oak tree in Lakeside, Calif., on April 11, 2015. They were joined and supported by 70 of their closest friends and family. The wedding and reception were at Louis Stelzer County Park. They combined their creative talents and made all the decorations themselves, with one exception being the cake topper. It was very much a DIY wedding for the couple. They were the wedding planners, finding each item and deciding upon everything together.
From the couple:

“We wanted the wedding to be very much about family. We loved the tree. The tree for us very much symbolizes family… family is our inspiration for our wedding. For 15 months, we planned and made decorations. We wanted the wedding to be very much ours. The flag bunting was particularly special to me because some of the fabric came from my grandmother’s sewing collection. The Mason jars that lined the wedding aisle were given to us by a close friend of ours. Those simple personalizations had such a strong impact to our wedding.

With the tree being our focal point, we created our wedding around the tree. We really wanted to stay local to our San Diego community. We had Phils BBQ, a San Diego favorite. The weekend Angela proposed to me, we had a slice of Nutella cake at this delicious pastry shop called Dolce Italia. It only made sense for us to have them make us a small Nutella cake for our wedding. We both have a love for pie as well and decided to order various pies from our local Julian Pie Co.

We could not have asked for a better day to get married. The sun was out; the weather was perfect! Time to get married.

That morning our friends arrived early to help us set up. Local Boy Scout Troop 663 happened upon us during set up and helped us haul and set up all the chairs!!!

After, we went home to get dressed and came back walking toward the wedding tree. It was just magical, just perfect! Everything came together.”

Sylena: “Our family and friends were all there. I was left speechless. Our friend Trish married us. My best memory of the wedding was after being pronounce wife and wife. We turned around with Angela’s two sons and faced everyone,  affirming to everyone: This is our family! That was such a great moment.”

From Lauren Perkins of StopGo Photography:

There is a reason why the sprawling 200 year old oak tree in Louis Stelzer County Park is so affectionately dubbed the Wedding Tree here in San Diego. This 25-foot-tall live oak is the perfect canopy to marry the love of your life under. And that’s exactly what Sylena and Angela did last weekend. When I meet these two, one delt out hard knocks as a roller derby skater and the other helped save lives as a parametric. I’ll leave it to you to determine which was which. Though the origin of their meeting has always been wildly contested by friends and family, these two undeniably share a “mutual weirdness” that runs deep. That reference was from one of their favorite quotes that spoke about love and weirdness, one that they had custom incorporated into a vase piece to join their sweetheart table on their big day.

Their wedding day was intimate and beautifully offbeat with western details and tons of handmade custom touches the two brides lovingly poured themselves into. One bride wore a pink, lacy dress with a flowy-forest vibe, complete with a rosette and butterfly headdress instead of a bouquet. The other bride wore a dapper handmade garden long tie that complemented her own pinks, grays, and tans. There was a burlap runner, a custom made bunting, and a s’mores station set up around a fire pit. There were ribbon wands, coloring pages, and a ring toss for the kids.

The space seated about 75 guests for the ceremony, with a handful of long rustic picnic-style tables for the reception. The dancing space was huge, where pretty much whereever you wanted to get down, you got down. One of bride’s sons performed a special serenade in the tune of “What a Wonderful World.” It was such an honor to have been invited to photograph Sylena and Angela’s wedding day. The bond you two share is so special, it’s only fitting that the space you chose to be wed at was pure magic.

How Firm A Foundation – Snippet 10

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Aye, Sir.” Lathyk nodded soberly. The good news was that Scrabble Sound ran almost a hundred and twenty miles south to north, which gave them that much sea room before they ran into the eastern face of Ahna’s Point or into Scrabble Shoal, itself. The bad news was that from their current position they couldn’t possibly clear Sand Shoal at the western edge of Scrabble Pass, the mouth of the sound. . . and even if they had, it would only have been to allow the wind to drive them into Silkiah Bay instead of Scrabble Sound.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Go about, Sir?” he asked. “On the starboard tack we might just be able to hold a course across the sound for Fishhook Strait.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Fishhook Strait, roughly a hundred miles north of their current position, was the passage between Scrabble Sound and the northern reaches of the Gulf of Mathyas.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “I’m thinking the same thing,” Yairley confirmed, “but not until we’re past the southern end of the bank. And even then — ” he met Lathyk’s eyes levelly ” — with this wind, the odds are we’ll have to anchor, instead.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Aye, Sir.” Lathyk nodded. “I’ll see to the anchors now, should I?”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “I think that would be an excellent idea, Master Lathyk,” Yairley replied with a wintry smile.

* * * * * * * * * *

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “I don’t like this one bit, Zhaksyn,” Hector Aplyn-Ahrmahk admitted quietly several hours later. Or as quietly as he could and still make himself heard at the main topmast crosstrees, at any rate. He was peering ahead through his spyglass as he spoke, and the line of angry white water reaching out from the barely visible gray mass of the mainland stretched squarely across Destiny‘s bowsprit. He had to hold on to his perch rather more firmly than usual. Although the wind had eased still further, Scrabble Sound was a shallow, treacherous body of water. Its wave action could be severe — especially with a southeasterly blowing straight into it — and the masts’ motion was enough to make even Aplyn-Ahrmahk dizzy.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Not much about it to like, if you’ll pardon my saying so, Sir,” the lookout perched at the crosstrees with him replied.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “No. No, there isn’t.” Aplyn-Ahrmahk lowered the glass with a sigh, then slung it over his shoulder once more. He started to reach for the back stay again, then stopped himself and looked at the lookout. “Best not, I suppose.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Better safe nor sorry, Sir,” Zhaksyn agreed with a grin. “Specially seeing as how the First Lieutenant’s on deck.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Exactly what I was thinking myself.” Aplyn-Ahrmahk patted the seaman on the shoulder and started down the more sedate path of the shrouds.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Well, Master Aplyn-Ahrmahk?” Captain Yairley asked calmly when he reached the quarterdeck. The captain’s valet stood at his side, improbably neatly groomed even under these circumstances, and Yairley held a huge mug of tea between his hands. The steam from the hot liquid whipped away on the wind before anyone had a chance to see it, but its warmth felt comforting against his palms, and he raised it to inhale its spicy scent while he waited for Aplyn-Ahrmahk’s report. The steep-sided crest of Ahna’s Point was visible from deck level, however, which meant he already had an unfortunately good notion of what the ensign was about to say.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “White water clear across the bow, Sir,” Aplyn-Ahrmahk confirmed with a salute. “All the way from the coast” — his left arm gestured in a northwesterly direction — “to a good five points off the starboard bow.” His arm swung in an arc from northwest to east-northeast, and Yairley nodded.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Thank you, Master Aplyn-Ahrmahk,” he said in that same calm tone, and took a reflective sip of tea. Then he turned to Lieutenant Lathyk.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “The depth?”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “The lead shows twenty-four fathoms, Sir. And shoaling.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Yairley nodded. Twenty-four fathoms — a hundred and forty-four feet — Â accorded relatively well with the sparse (and unreliable) depths recorded on his less-than-complete charts. But Destiny drew just over twenty feet at normal load, and the leadsman was undoubtedly right about the decreasing depth. By all accounts Scrabble Sound shoaled rapidly, and that meant those hundred and forty-four feet could disappear quickly.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “I think we’ll anchor, Master Lathyk.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Aye, Sir.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Then call the hands.”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Aye, Sir! Master Symmyns! Hands to anchor!”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  “Hands to anchor, aye, aye, Sir!”

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Bosun’s pipes shrilled as the hands raced to their stations. Both of the bower anchors had been made ready hours ago in anticipation of exactly this situation. The canvas hawse-plugs which normally kept water from entering through the hawseholes during violent weather had been removed. The anchor cables, each just over six inches in diameter and nineteen inches in circumference, had been gotten up through the forward hatch, led through the open hawseholes, and bent to the anchors. A turn of each cable had been taken around the riding bitts, the heavy upright timbers just abaft the foremast, before fifty fathoms of cable were flaked down, and the upper end of the turn led down through the hatch to the cable tier where the remainder of the cable was stored. The anchors themselves had been gotten off of the fore-channels and hung from the catheads, and a buoy had been made fast to the ring of each anchor.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Under the current circumstances, there was nothing “routine” about anchoring, and Yairley handed the empty mug to Sylvyst Raigly, then stood with his hands clasped behind him, lips pursed in a merely thoughtful expression while he contemplated the state of the bottom.

His charts for Scrabble Sound were scarcely anything he would have called reliable. The sound wasn’t particularly deep (which helped to account for how violent the seas remained even though the wind had continued to drop), but the chart showed only scattered lines of soundings. He could only guess at the depths between them, and according to his sailing notes, the sound contained quite a few completely uncharted pinnacles of rock. Those same notes indicated a rocky bottom, with unreliable holding qualities, which wasn’t something he wanted to hear about at this particular moment. Almost as bad, a rocky bottom posed a significant threat that his anchor cables would chafe and fray as they dragged on the bottom.

Beggars can’t be choosers, Dunkyn, he reminded himself, glancing as casually as possible at the angry white confusion of surf where the heavy seas pounded the rocky, steeply rising beach below Ahna’s Point or surged angrily above Scrabble Shoal. There was no way Destiny could possibly weather the shoal under these wind conditions. She was firmly embayed, trapped on a lee shore with no option but to anchor until wind and weather moderated enough for her to work her way back out.

Well, at least you managed to stay out of Silkiah Bay, he reminded himself, and snorted in amusement.

“All hands, bring ship to anchor!” Lathyk bellowed the preparatory order as the last of the hands fell in at his station, and Yairley drew a deep breath.

“Hands aloft to shorten sail!” he ordered, and watched the topmen swarm aloft.

“Stand by to take in topsails and courses! Man clewlines and buntlines!”

Clewlines and buntlines were slipped off their belaying pins as the assigned hands tailed onto them.

“Haul taut! In topsails! Up foresail and mainsail!”

Why Go Solar?

Savings Every Month – Your solar electric system powers your home so you can use considerably less electricity from the public utility.

State Rebates and Federal Tax Credits –  Your state’s public utility rebates and the federal government’s tax credits can help pay for a substantial percentage of your system and installation.

Protection Against Electricity Rate Hikes – Imagine that you had been able to lock in automobile gas prices in 2004. You’d be paying less than $2 a gallon not only today, but also for decades to come. With every gas price increase, you’d be saving even more money. That’s exactly what you’re doing with the cost of electricity when you install a solar electric system.

Because solar installation is a fixed cost, savings increase as utility rates rise. Essentially, you’re building in a hedge against future rate increases. And rising utility rates are definitely something you can count on, especially considering that they’ve gone up faster than inflation for the past 30 years. In 2006, some states saw the highest tier residential rates jump as much as 55% in just one year.

Increased Property Values – A solar electric system can increase a home or building’s value by reducing its annual operating costs.

Lower Dependence on Fossil Fuels & Foreign Countries –  By switching to solar electricity, we can help alleviate our dependence on foreign sources of energy. Solar electricity is used where it is made, so there are no transportation or delivery costs. Solar electricity’s price stability is also independent of the effects of natural disasters, foreign political instability or trade disputes. The supply chain extends simply from the sun to your roof.

Faerie Law

In this post, I compare several concepts of Australian Aboriginal cosmology to specific topics in western spiritual practice, focusing in particular on faerie queens and related beings. In making this comparison, I am not claiming in any way that westerners should start aping Australian practices. I would argue instead that we can glimpse western practices […] … Continue reading…Faerie Law

Impact of Urbanization on Water Yield, Flood Peak Sediment Yield, and Water Quality in the Berkeley Hills, California

  • Author(s): McBride, Joe R
  • et al.

The objective of this project was to determine the impact of urbanization on the hydrologic characteristics of watersheds in the Berkeley Hills of central California. The initial approach was to calibrate three stream gaging station prior to the development of one watershed above one of these stations and to follow changes in hydrologic characteristics during and subsequent to development. Economic and political developments in 1974 and 1975 prevented the developer from building on the principal watershed. A summary of data on annual water yield, characteristics of flood peaks, sediment yield, and water quality for the three non-urban watersheds is presented.

A subproject completed during the study compared periodicity of streamflow in previously urbanized and non-urbanized watersheds in the Berkeley Hills. Two daily discharge peaks which lagged 1.5 hours behind two daily peaks in lawn irrigation were observed. Peak daily streamflow on the urbanized watershed was 10 times that of a similar non-urbanized watershed. The stream from the urbanized watershed flowed continuously throughout the year while the stream from the non-urbanized watershed ceased flowing from late July until mid-October.

Blizzard Reveals New Paladin Quest and Neutral Legendary

Mar 29, 2017
Featured image via Hearthstone Top Decks.

The Paladin Quest in Journey to Un’Goro has finally been revealed. We’ve seen seven of the nine Quests so far, and the expansion’s release is right around the corner. In case you’re catching up on Hearthstone news, Quests are one mana spells that start in your opening hand. After you play a Quest, they track your progress towards meeting certain requirements. When you meet those requirements, you’re awarded with an extremely powerful five mana card to your hand–Warlock’s Quest, for example, asks you to discard six cards and rewards you with Nether Portal, a card that summons a 3/2 Imp every turn.

Overall, the Quests are fantastic, and add an unprecedented level of depth and strategy to the game. The new Paladin Quest is, by far, my least favorite of the bunch. It’s called The Last Kaleidosaur. I won’t beat around the bush–I think Adapt is fundamentally flawed as a game mechanic. And, much to my dismay, Paladin’s Quest is all about Adapt. Once you’ve played The Last Kaleidosaur, you have to cast six spells on your own minions. While this can be healing or damage, in most cases it’s likely that you’ll be playing spells to buff your minions. Six spells is a lot of spells, for the record. This is not an easy Quest to complete, thankfully. If you do manage to complete Paladin’s Quest, you’re awarded with Galvadon. He is a five mana 5/5 Beast that Adapts five times when it comes into play.

The Last Kaleidosaur Paladin Quest

Galvadon Possibilities

Adapting five times gives a lot of possibilities. I’m going to assume that each of the ten possible Adaptations can only be added once, so there won’t be any overlapping buffs–you won’t get multiple +1/+1s or a redundant set of Taunts for your Adaptations. This means you’ll most likely be offered every possibility at some point. Let’s take a quick look at some of the more synergistic results, to see how strong the potential really is.

If you want an aggressive minion, which I’m guessing will often be the case, you’re almost always going to want Windfury, Stealth, +3 Attack, and +1/+1. That only accounts for four out of five Adapts, however, which means you’ve still got potential to add a Divine Shield or Cannot be Targeted into the mix. If everything goes according to plan, you just brought a 9/6 Windfury minion with Stealth onto the board for a mere five mana. You’re also playing a deck with a whole lot of buff cards in it, which means there’s potential to buff Galvadon even more after he’s been played. If Galvadon stays in play for a turn, you probably win.

You might also need a more defensive minion. If that’s the case, you’re going to hope that you pull Taunt, +3 Health, +1/+1, Cannot be Targeted, and Divine Shield. This set of Adaptations would give you a 6/9 Taunt minion with Divine Shield that can’t be targeted, which sounds like tons of fun to deal with.

Both of these combos hinge on Stealth and Cannot be Targeted, and these are clearly the strongest of the Adaptations. Personally, I hope Blizzard reconsiders including Stealth as a possibility, even if it’s just for Galvadon. I’m not sure how viable the Paladin Quest will be, but if you’re able to bring out Galvadon, you’re probably going to win.

Neutral Legendary: Hemet, Jungle Hunter

Blizzard also revealed an interesting new neutral legendary this week: Hemet, Jungle Hunter. Hemet, Jungle Hunter is a Neutral Legendary. He's a six mana 6/6 whose card text reads: "Battlecry: Destroy all cards in your deck that cost (3) or less."He’s a six mana 6/6 whose Battlecry destroys all cards in your deck that cost three or less mana. It’s a fascinating effect, and offers quite a bit of consistency to the rest of your deck. While it’s going to take some time to figure out exactly how to use Hemet effectively, I can see him being included in very niche decks. For example, the card would go quite well in the current version of Renolock, where you rarely play a lot of cards that cost less than three mana. However, it could never be played in Control Warrior, as it would remove Shield Slams and Executes.

Hemet could easily shine in Arena. You’d have to be careful that you don’t destroy most of your deck, of course. However, Fel Reaver was very popular in arena for a while, and while the effects are very different, I think the same concept applies. Play Hemet when you’re ahead and make use of your board control and strong deck to win. It’s bad if you plan to play a long drawn out game, but amazing if you want to win over the next few turns. He’ll definitely need some playtesting, but we’re expecting to see lots of players experimenting with Hemet after Un’Goro is released.

Stay tuned throughout all of March and April for more Journey to Un’Goro coverage. We’ll be bringing you the latest updates about new cards, quests, and all that good stuff, so follow us on Twitter if you’re looking to satisfy that Hearthstone fix.
