Spring Break Alternative: A Road Trip in Southeast Mexico

by Amir Bibawy, The Associated Press, February 6, 2017

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — The police didn't ask for bribes. The roads were safe and fast. The food was particular, yet delicious.

A road trip across southeast Mexico offered the perfect antidote to winter: sun, beaches, yummy food, great drinks and amazing sights, from a colonial old town to ancient Mayan structures. Best of all, the longest stretch of driving was just five hours from Playa del Carmen on the Caribbean to Campeche on Mexico's Gulf Coast.

The roughly 1,000-mile loop also traversed three remarkably different states. Quintana Roo, home to resort-laden Cancun and Playa del Carmen, has more of an American feel than most places in Mexico. Campeche's laidback and colorful atmosphere is a nice contrast to Yucatan's earthy cuisine and cultural significance.

Car rental rates are low (though locally obtained insurance, which is essential, will up the cost). Major highways in the region are split into freeways and toll roads, cuotas. The tolls are relatively inexpensive and the cuotas are often empty. At times you can travel almost alone for miles. With $250 round-trip flights from the U.S. and the Mexican peso worth half what it was five years ago against the dollar, there's no better time to visit.

The trip started at Petit Lafitte , a small locally-owned resort situated just far enough outside of Playa del Carmen to avoid its boozy vibe. The resort has drawn a faithful clientele of Americans for decades. Returning guests greet staff with hugs and everyone is on first-name basis.

After a week of lazy beach days and ceviche feasts, the road beckoned. First stop, Campeche's capital city, also called Campeche, which has a small town feel and a colorful grid of streets. The old town, which dates to the mid-17th century, is surrounded by a hexagonal wall with seven intact bulwarks, each unique in design and significance. Right outside the Puerta del Mar bulwark is a long, beautiful seaside walkway where joggers, strollers and tourists congregate.

An hour from Campeche lies the pristine Mayan site of Edzna, which dates to the seventh century B.C. Perfectly manicured lawns separate the Mayan structures, the most impressive of which is the 120-foot Edificio de los Cincos Pisos (which means building of five floors). Kids will love running around spotting iguanas.

Driving from Campeche to Yucatan's capital, Merida, consider a stop at the beautiful Hacienda Santa Rosa, a luxury Starwood property where rooms start at $300 or so a night. The restaurant serves delicious Yucatan fare at reasonable prices in a serene atmosphere. The spa was once a small church.

Merida is everything Campeche isn't. It's big, busy, noisy and dusty. But this cultural hub has many interesting sights to lure tourists and, increasingly, American and Canadian retirees. The town's cathedral is an austere and intimidating structure whose once-ornate decorations were stripped away by secular Mexicans during the revolution. Churches dot the town's historic center. Caleche (horse-drawn carriage) rides through the old town are an entertaining way to spend an hour. Open bus tours visit Merida's modern neighborhoods, which have some stunning mansions, especially along Paseo de Montejo. The local Starbucks looks like something from a belle epoque flick.

Merida is also a good jumping-off point for the trip's most stunning sites: the biosphere reserve at Celestun, and Uxmal, a Mayan mecca.

Celestun will draw shrieks of wonderment from even the most bored teenager with its year-round colony of thousands of pink flamingos. Small motorboats take you 100 yards or so from the colorful flocks, which look like a haze of pink from far away. You won't need binoculars to watch them gracefully fly, then land on water.

The sprawling Uxmal complex boasts many unique structures including the Governor's Palace, the Nuns' Quadrangle (take note of the intact colorful decorations on its walls), and the amazing Pyramid of the Magician, with curved outlines unique among Mayan pyramids. Uxmal provides a solid impression of what Mayan life was like without the crowds of the more-touristy Chichen Itza.

If beaches, colonial cities and Mayan sites aren't enticing enough, the region's cuisine will do the trick. Mexican ceviche (different from Peruvian — no potatoes or corn, just seafood) and fresh fish cooked in garlic and chili sauce are amazing. The region's ubiquitous main dish, cochinita pibil, is pork marinated in citrus and spices, then wrapped in banana leaves and slow-roasted for a unique, delicate yet earthy flavor. Relleno negro is another specialty of turkey stuffed with chopped pork, cooked in a rich dark sauce. In Merida, evening food carts sell hot crepes filled with Nutella or cheese for about a dollar. For breakfast, feast on huevos motulenos (fried eggs topped with beans, peas, ham, cheese and chili on a tortilla).

Best meals: La Pigua, an upscale fish restaurant outside the walls of Campeche, and Portico del Peregrino in Merida, with distinctive mole dishes.

Mexican chocolate is all the rage in hipster joints across America. Merida and Campeche offer a chance to try the real thing (Chocolateria de la Mora in Campeche is amazing). Opt for less milk and less sugar to truly savor the chocolate.

If You Go...

GETTING THERE: You can fly into Merida but cheapest fares from the U.S. are to Cancun.

ZIKA: Mexico is in the zone for Zika-carrying mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are more prevalent at inland Maya sites than beaches. Consider buying mosquito-repelling plastic bracelets to take with you.

BRITT NICOLE lyrics : "Safe"

You keep trying to get inside my head
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread

To my life, what I know
Yeah, I'm losing control and

Oh, no
My walls are gonna break
So close

It's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
when love just isn't safe

You're not safe

I'm strong enough
I've always told myself
I never wanna need somebody else

But I've already fallen from that hill
So I'm dropping my guard,
here's your chance at my heart and

Everything you want, but it's everything you need
It's not always happy endings

But it's all the in-between
It's taken so long, so long to finally see
That your love is worth the risk

Oh, no
My walls are gonna break

You're not safe
And that's ok

    Connecting to Garage Band Problem
    I am following all steps to setup connection from my guitar to garage band. I'm not able to record hear when i play. i'm connecting guitar straight to input of mac via 1/8" adapter and following all the instructions to create new track and setup of 'real instrument', yet not able to record or hear anything. Any ideas for this rookie??

  2. #2
    ok, using the 'Real Instrument' Track, make sure your selected recording source is Built-In Input Mono 1, which would be Left. make sure your guitar is turned up, the input is turned up, and the monitor level is turned on, (I prefer the NO feedback option, but you will need Headphones)

    I'm not claiming that that should work, but it would definitely set the track to record a guitar. Make sure that your preferences are set... Garageband>Preferences>Audio & Media> Select Built-In Input. I have never experienced any problems with not recording a guitar, Especially with an Electric Guitar track selected. Selecting a guitar track from the beginning of a new project will change these setting automatically, try that out...

On a snowy February afternoon we met with Michele and Tim at Columcille Megalith Park to shoot their engagement photos.  The shoot immediately started out with big laughs and lots of goofing around and ended with an epic snowball fight as well as me taking some ice dives (Watch until the end of the video).

Michele and Tim met online- their first date was also their first time meeting in person. They went to Michele’s favorite bar in town to make sure Tim wasn’t a creeper. Obviously things went pretty well! They both have a love for craft beer and the place they went had tons of options without being too stuffy.

Since then they’ve gone on many dates, most of which were awesome! Michele’s favorite was spending the day in New Hope, PA for her birthday last year where they went to a brewery for lunch and ate outside overlooking the train tracks. The rest of the day was spent wandering through town and going into art galleries. They even went across the bridge into Lambertville, NJ and had dinner at her favorite Middle Eastern restaurant!  Tim merely said “I enjoy 98% of the time we have together. I don’t really have a favorite!”

Tim popped the question on  October 15th, 2018. The joke in their house was that Tim would propose on a random Tuesday while they were chilling at home. While lounging and catching up on a show, Tim got up to go to the bathroom, or so Michele thought. All of a sudden there he was, down on one knee with the box in his hand. It was a perfect proposal that resulted in a definite “Yes”.

They’re excited for their wedding on August 31st and so am I!

Here’s looking at you, kid.

Pick the best camera for the job

Today's Best Tech Deals

Picked by Macworld's Editors

Top Deals On Great Products

Picked by Techconnect's Editors

There is no one perfect camera. But if you need a camera suited to a specific kind of photography, you can get the best camera for your needs by looking for specific features. Obviously, it’s not practical to buy and carry a separate camera for every possible shooting situation, but if you regularly shoot in low light, carry your gear into harsh conditions, capture portraits, or prefer to travel light, then it’s worth buying a camera tailored to your needs. Keep in mind that most of the features we mention can be had with point-and-shoot cameras, through manual controls, but a few are available only on DSLRs or compact interchangeable-lens cameras.

Low-light photography

If you like to shoot subjects in low light—whether a dark alley, a dimly lit house, the night sky, or a performance in a darkened auditorium—you’ll want to look for certain features when shopping for a camera.

First and foremost, you need a camera that supports high ISO settings without yielding images that contain a lot of noise. Be sure that images shot at ISO 800 to 1600 are free of speckles or splotchy color patterns.

Olympus XZ-1
High ISOs let you use fast shutter speeds, so you don’t have to worry about blur when doing handheld shooting. You’ll also be able to freeze moving objects. To give yourself even more latitude with shutter speed, look for a lens (or a camera with a lens, if you’re buying a point-and-shoot) that has a “fast” lens—that is, a lens whose maximum aperture is very wide. An f/2.4 or lower maximum-aperture setting will allow you even faster shutter speeds. The $500 Olympus XZ-1 point-and-shoot camera has an impressive maximum aperture of f/1.8.

A camera or lens with image stabilization won’t help you freeze motion, but it will help ease the effects of camera shake, often making it possible to shoot sharp images that would be impossible to achieve with an unstabilized lens or camera.

Canon EOS Rebel T3i

If you’re interested in low-light landscape shooting with a DSLR, then you’ll want a camera with a mirror lockup feature, which helps reduce vibration during long exposures. Many Canon DSLRs have this feature, including the $900 (with lens) EOS Rebel T3i.

Many new point-and-shoot cameras (as well as the iPhone 4 and iPad 2) use backside-illuminated sensors, which usually capture more information in low-light situations. But a more useful point-and-shoot feature is a handheld low-light mode. Sony’s cameras call this mode Handheld Twilight, and Canon’s HS line calls it Handheld NightScene.

Rugged shooting

Bad weather can ruin your whole day and really screw up your camera. Even if you don’t shoot in extreme conditions, there might be times when you need to think about the durability of your camera. If you like to snap shots of your kids around the pool, if you tend to regularly visit dusty climates, or if you shoot in extreme heat or cold, you may need a camera made to withstand the elements.

Most cameras are actually more durable than you might think. Light rain, a few splashes of water—these most likely won’t hurt your camera. But if there’s a chance that you might submerge your camera, or get trapped in a serious deluge, shop for one that is fully waterproof instead of water-resistant. Most waterproof cameras are rated to at least five meters of depth, which is good enough for most casual water-related shooting. If you already have a camera, then you can opt for a waterproof enclosure, which can let you go even deeper underwater.

Some cameras are fully sealed to protect them from water (but not submersion) and dust. For shooting in deserts or in other places where the air can get thick with particulate matter, using a weather-sealed camera can prove essential. Note, though, that on DSLRs, these seals are only as good as your lens mount. In other words, if you put on a lens that’s not also sealed, then your camera will not be protected.

Pentax K-5

If it’s not weather but rather wear and tear that you’re worried about, consider a shock-proof camera, which is optimized to withstand dropping and even crushing.

Sony Cyber-shot TX10

The $1700 Olympus E-5 DSLR camera is splash-proof and dust-proof. The $1600 Pentax K-5 is weather-sealed and built around a stainless-steel skeleton. The point-and-shoot market has some cool (and far more affordable) rugged offerings, like the $350 Pentax Optio WG-1 or the water-, dust-, shock-, and freeze-proof $320 Sony Cyber-shot TX10.

Landscape photography

Typically, when you shoot a landscape scene, you want deep depth of field, to ensure that everything in the scene is in focus. Fortunately, any lens or camera will be able to stop down to a small aperture to get deep depth of field. Obviously, if you want to shoot in low light, then you’ll also want good high ISO performance.

A sharp lens is important for preserving detail, and if you’re working with a DSLR, note that the smaller its image sensor (as opposed to full frame), the deeper depth of field it will yield. Ultimately, small camera size might be your biggest concern—for example, if you’re heading deep into the backcountry and want to keep weight down.

For portraiture, you’ll want a fast lens, which will let you capture shallow depth of field, to blur out backgrounds. You’ll also want a lens that’s slightly telephoto. The kit lenses on most SLRs and point-and-shoot cameras will definitely provide a slightly telephoto focal length that will be ideal for portraiture. A slightly longer lens compresses features, to produce a more flattering look.

Look beyond the specs

Knowing the features you need for the types of photographs you want to capture is a great first step in buying a camera. But keep in mind the many other factors that make a camera great, good, or just OK. Macworld Lab does extensive image testing on point-and-shoot, compact interchangeable-lens, and DSLR cameras.

While our first Indian wedding on today's Filmy Friday makes me choke up, this next one makes me grin ear to ear. It's all dancing and shenanigans with Auroosa and Amaan of Toronto, Canada on their wedding day. Escape Studios catches all the antics (like a dance competition -- yes, really!), and matches it with a catchy Indian pop song.
What I love most about this video is watching our Maharani goof around with her groom. Whether it's at the stylish reception or in an 1876 schoolhouse, I can really feel the love between these two!

If you missed any of the Indian wedding lovelyness this week, here are a few of my favorite posts :
A gorgeous wedding venue (look at those arches!)
A luscious royal blue bridal lengha.

How to Install and Uninstall Multiple Apps at Once on Android

Did you make a backup of all of your apps you installed on your device before wiping it and now wish to install all those apps at once? Not possible if you are going the traditional way of installing apps on your device. But wait, we do have a developers community around us that keeps developing new and great tools that help users get the best out of their devices and ease their tasks. One of these useful tools is the Mass APK Installer, and as you may have already guessed, it lets you install multiple apps at once on your Android device.

The tool helps the ADB sideload feature that pushes APKs over to the device and issues required commands to install the app.

Installing Multiple Apps at Once on Android

Note: The tool that we are going to be using is only available for Windows, so you need to have a PC running Windows in order to do the following procedure.

1. Download the Mass APK Installer Tool and extract all of its files over to your desktop or any other convenient place.

2. Place all of the APKs you want to install on your device in the “apk” folder that you got after extracting the tool. In the example below, I put two apps in the folder for installation – the Apollo Music Player and the Quick Boot app.

3. You need to turn on the Unknown sources option on your device to let the tool install apps on your device. To do so, head to “Menu -> Settings -> Security” and tick-mark the box that says “Unknown sources.”

4. You need to enable the USB debugging option as well. It is located in “Menu -> Settings -> Developer options.” Just put a tick-mark in the “USB debugging” box to enable it.

5. Connect your Android device to your PC using the USB cable that came with it. If you see a prompt on your PC saying it is installing the drivers, then let it do so first.

6. Double-click on “run.bat” and the tool will launch. It does not require any user-interaction; it will do everything on its own.

7. When it is done, you should see the apps installed on your device.

And that’s it. All of the APKs you put inside the “apk” folder have now been installed on your device, and you can access them right from your device’s app drawer.

That was about installing mass apps on Android, what about uninstalling them? Well, we have that covered as well for you.

Uninstalling Multiple Apps at Once on Android

In order to mass uninstall apps, you are going to need an app called “Uninstall Master Uninstaller”. It lets you remove multiple apps at once from your Android device.

1. Head over to the Google Play and download and install the Uninstall Master Uninstaller app on your device.

2. Tap on the app icon and it will launch.

3. On the first screen of the app, you will see all of the apps you have installed on your device. Tap on the apps you wish to remove and they will be added to the Uninstall list. When you are done, hit the “Uninstall” button.

How to Recover a Blocked Outlook or Microsoft Account

Microsoft Outlook Logo

No matter how hard you try to avoid it, eventually the day is going to come when you find yourself locked out of a Microsoft account. Unfortunately, forgetting a password is all but a rite of passage for all internet users. And when it happens, you’re not just locked out of email, you’re also blocked from accessing other Microsoft favorites like OneDrive and Office 365.

For better or worse, Microsoft works off a “single sign-on” system, so if you’re locked out, you’re locked out of everything Microsoft. Don’t panic. You’re not stuck in password purgatory forever. Recovery is just a few steps (and minutes) away.

How to Do Basic Password Recovery

After trying an incorrect password a few times, Microsoft will show a warning which takes you directly to the Microsoft Account password reset page. This is where recovery begins. Enter the account you wish to recover, select “Next” and then step number two will begin.

Microsoft Outlook Recover Account

In the second step, Microsoft will first try to verify your identity. This is actually a good thing, as it’s in place to prevent someone from trying to hijack your account. If you have authenticator software enabled on your smartphone, start it up and enter the available code.

If you don’t have authenticator installed, there are additional options available to prove you’re the account owner. Click on “use a different verification option,” and select your email or phone number to receive a numerical code to continue on to the next recovery step. Microsoft will then send a numerical code within a minute or two that allows you to continue the recovery process.

Microsoft Outlook Verify Identity

If you’ve made it this far, you’re almost there. Once you’ve verified you’re the account owner, the next step is choosing a new password. Microsoft asks you to choose a password with at least eight characters, and it is case sensitive. For the best possible security, we recommend a password manager to help choose a complicated password that won’t easily be guessed by bad entities.

Just enter your new password, and you’re back in business. Now you can sign in to your Microsoft account including, OneDrive and Office 365.

Microsoft Outlook Password Change

If Basic Recovery Did Not Work, Try this Instead

If you’ve made it this far, you should be logged in with complete control of your account. Unfortunately, there are instances of the password reset method failing, as the recovery steps aren’t 100% foolproof. Alternatively, there are also individuals who don’t have access to the backup verification information on their accounts. Rest assured, Microsoft knows this happens and has a second option available.

1. Head to the “Recover your Microsoft account” page and start from the top. Most importantly, you’ll need access to another working email account so you can receive information from Microsoft. If necessary, create a new Microsoft account just for the purpose of attempting to regain access to your existing one.

2. Now you can begin filling out the recovery form including your secondary email address as well as the address you wish to recover.

Microsoft Outlook Recovery Step One

3. Next, you’ll want to start answering the necessary questions Microsoft will ask to ensure you’re the account owner. These include your name and your date of birth, as well as the answer to your original security question.

Microsoft Outlook Second Recover Step Two

4. All that’s left now is to complete the rest of the recovery steps and reclaim your password for good. There are only a few more questions revolving around previous use of Microsoft products to help verify your identity. Remember, as frustrating as this process is, these questions make sure no one is able to maliciously gain access to your account.

As agonizing and frustrating as it can be to lose your password, don’t lose your cool. Microsoft knows this happens and has evolved its recovery process over the years to make it even faster. Just remember that there’s no such thing as a password that’s too strong. Now’s the time to check out those password managers and drop the “password123” login forever.

  1. I have a Microsoft account that is inactive for two years. Now they want me to provide them a phone number which I am not very keen. Is there any other way to access this account?

  2. You can bypass phone verification and get a temporary number at

6 Fun iPhone Party Games for Your Next Group Gathering

Games are a great way to bring a big dose of fun to any gathering. But in most situations, you’ll need to have already purchased a board game or card game before the party gets started.

However, there are a number of different iPhone games available that are perfect for parties, large or small. To help get you started, we’re highlighting some fun iPhone party games.

1. Heads Up!

From talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, Heads Up! is one of the most popular party games available. Perfect for all ages, the game’s appeal is in large part thanks to its simplicity and the fact that it can be played with anywhere between two people to a huge group.

You’ll hold up an iPhone to your forehead, and the phone screen then displays a word from a diverse number of different categories. It’s up to everyone else to give clues so you can correctly guess the right answer. If you guess correctly, tilt the phone screen down to draw a new card. Tilting up will pass the word and also show a new clue.

Some of the fun deck categories include celebrities, movies, animals, accents, and more. So you’ll always find something new to play with. At the end of the round, you can see exactly how well you did. As a hilarious touch, you can even use the iPhone’s front-facing camera to record and then playback videos of everyone trying to give clues.

And if you’re looking to have more age-appropriate fun without an iPhone, take a look at these great family board games you’ve never heard of The Best Family Board Games You've Never Heard Of Have your board game nights fallen into a boring rut?

March 27 meeting seeks public opinion on Eel River recovery through downtown North Manchester

Just consider the possibilities!

That’s the message the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative has to the community about the future of the stream as it flows through downtown North Manchester. Today, the riverbanks are eroded and a dumping ground for trash – a barrier to habitat and an eyesore along the Community Trail Network.

A $17,000 feasibility study that will address protecting, stabilizing and restoring the banks of the downtown stretch of the Eel River needs advice and opinion from the community, said Terri Michaelis, coordinator of the Initiative.

At a March 27 meeting, the public will learn about the study that is a first step in gathering input and support for restoring the Eel River stream bank through downtown North Manchester. Following the study, the Initiative will pursue additional funding from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Lake and River Enhancement Program, as well as the community and other partners.

“There are many possibilities for this project and its potential to positively impact the town of North Manchester,” said Michaelis. “We hope the community will join us at this public meeting to learn about these possibilities and share their thoughts and ideas with us.”

The public meeting is set for 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 27 in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library.

The study will focus on the Eel River stretch from the Market Street Bridge east 500 feet to behind the parking area near the American Legion. The river runs along the alley behind Main Street businesses that borders the Community Trail Network.

The project would:

  • restore and stabilize the stream bank to reduce erosion
  • identify potential for improved wildlife habitat
  • eliminate dumping of waste
  • raise awareness for preserving the stream bank
  • involve the local community in the project design

Cardno JFNew, an Indiana-based ecological consulting and restoration firm, will do the study, Michaelis said. “The firm has the experience, resources and technical expertise to evaluate the site and determine an appropriate, sustainable, successful solution for the deteriorated stream bank in North Manchester.”

The steering committee is planning three public meetings on the project. The committee is comprised of representatives from the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District, North Manchester Chamber of Commerce, North Manchester Town Council, North Manchester Parks & Recreation, Manchester Main Street, Manchester University and local citizens.

For more about the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative, contact Terri Michaelis at 260-982-5101 or tmmichaelis@manchester.edu. Visit the Watershed website at www.manchester.edu/eelriverinitiative.

Initially funded by a $1 million Clean Water Act Grant, the Initiative is a Manchester University-led coalition of agencies and individuals who are determined to improve water quality, enhance recreation and promote conservation of natural resources in the middle Eel River watershed.

Luke Shaw says the Manchester United dressing room is well aware they squandered another chance to close the gap on the top four on Saturday.

United could only draw 0-0 with Wolves in the evening kick off after Chelsea had drawn 2-2 at third-placed Leicester earlier in the day. The points sees United drop to sixth place after Sheffield United won again to leapfrog Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men.

The draw now means United have failed to win on eight of the last nine occasions that Chelsea have dropped points, ahead of the clash between the two sides at Stamford Bridge after the winter break.

And Shaw admitted after the game that the players are disappointed at their repeated failure to gain ground on the Champions League places when the opportunity is presented.

Speaking after the Wolves game, Shaw told MUTV: "To be honest, [we're] really disappointed, especially with the way the games have been going recently. We haven't been picking up too many points.

"Today was massive for us, especially with Chelsea dropping points. It seems to keep happening, team around us drop points and then we don't end up closing the gap and we're suffering that.

"We needed to win today especially on the break. Now we haven't got a game so soon it's annoying but we'll have a little break. Of course we're all looking forward to the big game when we're back."

That winter break gives United players the opportunity to take some time off before returning to training ahead of the Chelsea game on February 17, but Shaw admitted he would prefer another game after the Wolves result.

"Maybe it's nice to have a break, but on the other hand of how the game went today, I'd rather have another game round the corner so we can put things right because we need to," Shaw said.

"But that's not the case, there's a break, so we'll regroup, have a little break then focus because it's not the end of the season yet.

"It's a massive game [against Chelsea] and one we seem to love playing in. We've played them a lot as well with cups and stuff. We'll have a few days off and then train very hard to get ready for that game because it'll be tough and we want to close the gap so we need to beat them."

Britain and its internal others, 1750–1800

Under rule of law

The rule of law, an ideology of equality and universality that justified Britain's eighteenth-century imperial claims, was the product not of abstract principles but imperial contact. As Britain's Empire expanded in the second half of the eighteenth century, British law managed interactions among peoples and cultures, linking metropole and colonies in a vast imperial legal web. This book revisits six notorious incidents that occasioned vigorous debate in London's courtrooms, streets and presses: the Jewish Naturalization Act and the Elizabeth Canning case; the Somerset Case; the Gordon Riots; the mutinies of 1797; and Union with Ireland. The Canning case showcases the threatening nature of poor single women and their status as outsiders. Analysis of the Jewish Naturalization Act has served as a case study of eighteenth-century parliamentary politics, and Jewish historians have treated it as an important moment in Anglo-Jewish history. The Somerset case has been the object of inquiry for scholars investigating the history of slavery, the African presence in Britain, labor conditions in the British Empire, and slavery in the American colonies. The Gordon Riots and the pamphlets and images produced in their wake were a means of debating and resisting, as well as justifying and defending, the imperial policies of the British state. Responses to the actions initiated by sailors at Spithead in the spring of 1797 highlight many of the themes of eighteenth-century politics and life. The failure to pass the Act of Union in 1799 reversed the normal power relationship between metropole and colony in Ireland.

PA-Hankyu holds groundbreaking for Idesia Dasmariñas

Dasmariñas, Cavite – PA-Hankyu One Inc., the joint venture between Laguna-based developer P.A. Alvarez Properties (P.A. Properties) and Japanese real estate firm, Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp. (HHPC), recently launched a project to build a 9.18-hectare residential communitiy called Idesia Dasmariñas Phase 2, and the 5.64-hectare Idesia Heights. Both are additions to the 11-hectare Phase 1 that was launched in 2017.

Idesia Dasmariñas is the flagship project of the joint venture, and is the third overseas project of HHPC in the Southeast Asian region. The 37-hectare Idesia Dasmariñas township is a masterplanned community that will cater to urbanites; startup, growing or middle-income families.

Idesia Dasmariñas Phase 2
Community developer. The Idesia showroom and sales office.
Idesia Dasmariñas Phase 2 will have 648 housing units, and is expected to generate PhP2B in total sales. Price ranges from PhP2.80M to PhP7M.

Inspired living

Idesia Heights will have 300 housing units available in 120sqm, 82.98sqm, 96sqm and  63.3sqm cuts.   Prices range from P5 million to P8 million.

“We have worked toward this end over the past year and being able to break ground for Idesia Phase 2 and Idesia Heights is most gratifying,” said Romarico “Bing” Alvarez, P.A. Properties chairman.

Idesia Dasmariñas will be introducing expansive green spaces. “With its modern Asian aesthetics, coupled with environmentally-friendly features, Idesia is simply a warm, welcoming place people would truly want to live in,” Alvarez added.

Located near two main arteries going to and from Cavite and into Metro Manila, the community is within the usual route of provincial buses and express vans, and within a reasonable distance from Coastal Road and South Luzon Expressway.

Shopping malls like SM City, Robinsons Place, and Waltermart in Dasmariñas are within reach from Idesia as well as educational institutions such as De La Salle University – Dasmariñas, Lyceum of the Philippines University (Cavite campus),  and St. Paul College Dasmariñas.

New Idesia showroom

A new showroom was also inaugurated after the groundbreaking.  “Advancing the way service is delivered to potential customers requires state-of the-art facilities designed,”   Alvarez pointed out.

Apart from accommodating sales inquiries, the new showroom will also showcase the materials used in housing construction, three-dimensional scale models of the housing units and the entire master-planned community as well.

Committed partnership and shared purpose

P.A. Properties – Hankyu One, Inc. is set to further develop the Idesia community in the coming months. In addition to building housing units, the partnership is also planning to include a commercial component to the communities.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with P.A. Properties, who is executing well in all its projects and has gained an impressive reputation as a community developer in areas south of Manila,” said Masahiko Toda, Hankyu Hanshin Properties overseas business division general manager.

One of the golden rules of advertising is that money follows eyeballs. And since people are looking at their smartphones pretty much all the time these days, it’s no surprise that advertising budgets are shifting to mobile devices as well.

According to Zenith's latest global advertising forecast, advertisers will spend an additional $72.6 billion a year on mobile ads in 2020 compared to last year. Having overtaken desktop ads last year, mobile devices are now the second largest advertising medium worldwide, trailing only television.

It was a wonderful day, and was so good to catch up with you.
Food was fabulous as always.
Must do it again some time.
Take care
Love Kim
Ciao Maria
How lovely to meet you again and spend time with you at my place on Saturday. It was a truly wonderful day. The food was amazing and everyone was raving about it. So delicious and you are such a master - I hope to be able to cook like you one day :D
I hope you had fun too - though I know you would have been tired after all your hard work.
Once again many thanks and I would love to catch up with you for a coffee and a chat in English or Italian :D and perhaps grab Paula too...
Let's make it happen very soon. You are very special and talented person!
Grazie mille

Hi Maria
were still telling all our friends about the wonderful dinner you gave us, we all loved it.
Helen and I ate the leftover monday night, still beautiful.
i was wondering if you could share one of your secrets with me?, the sauce you made for the chilli prawns was so good, can you tell me what was in it and how you cooked it? i understand if you dont want to share your secrets but i just had to ask.
thanks again
Maria Thanks for looking after us. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves ... including the Birthday Girl and the Chef. There was a bit of competition for the leftovers.
See you next time.

Buongiorno tutti.
Ancora piove, piove, piove! [raining, raining, raining]
This is a quick note to say thank you to everyone for helping to make
yesterday such a great day!
Brilliant food and excellent company made us forget the rain, and the
wind and the weather - at least for a couple of hours.
Thanks to everyone who helped with set-up, serving and clear away,
final clean-up, photos, etc And once again thanks to Maria from all of us.
Ciao, [see most of you next week]

An artist friend of mine Murray Clode told me about the “The Creative Process” this morning at the Breakfast Club that I run.

The 6 Steps in The Creative Process

  1. This will be awesome
  2. This is hard
  3. This is shit
  4. I’m shit
  5. This might be ok!
  6. This is awesome!

This doesn’t just apply to creating art, it’s when we create anything:

  • You might have an idea for a new start-up business
  • You might launch into a d-i-y project at home
  • You might decide to learn a new language
  • You might decide to read a challenging book
  • You might decide to write a blog article like this one

Can you recognise yourself working through this process when you are doing something worthwhile?

For me, one of the most interesting parts of this list is how many opportunities there are to quit before you get something done!

The 4 Main Opportunities To Quit During The Creative Process

  1. Not getting started at all.
    • Having an awesome idea, but not taking the first step, not taking action. Most of us quit before we start
  2. When the initial optimism and excitement wears off and it gets hard, most of us quit
  3. If we work hard and then look with disappointment at what we’ve created, most of us quit
  4. When we see what we’ve created as a reflection of ourselves and blame ourselves for the dismal quality of the project, most of us quit

What Power Do You Have On Others Going Through The Process?

The second most interesting part of this is the power we have over people in the middle of creating something.

If you attack someones ideas you might send them into phase #3 (the “This is shit” phase) too early, so they quit!

If you encourage and uplift someone it might send them into phase #5 (the “This might be ok” phase) just before they quit!

When we are exposed to peoples ideas, we can’t help but have a reaction.

Those ideas might be art, they might be a plan for the future, they might be an idea for an event, an idea for a new product or service or business.

What Do They Need To Hear?

You have 3 choices when someone shares their ideas with you:

  1. Most often they need you to pat them on the back and say “good on you” and for you to keep any reservations you have to yourself so they can learn the lesson that awaits them
  2. Sometimes they might need some constructive criticism to send them in a new direction that will save them a bit of time & effort
  3. And sometimes they need someone brave to say “it looks like you’ve given this your best shot, have you thought about ending this project and taking what you’ve learned, and applying that to a new project? What project might that be?”

Is Ending A Project A Total Loss?

Most of the time we think failed projects are a complete waste of time and money/resources.

It’s this kind of thinking that stops most of us from starting a new project in the first place.

But all projects (whether they were failures or successes) are great learning, aren’t they?

In fact, perhaps up to 80% of your new skills and knowledge could be applied to your next project, couldn’t they?

Where To From Here? My 3 Hopes For You

  1. I hope that the next time you are in the middle of a creative project and feel like quitting, you remember that you’re in the middle of this 6 phase process and to not give up too early!
  2. I hope that the next time someone tells you their idea, that you choose right when you decide if they need a pat on the back, some constructive criticism, or for someone brave to prompt them to end it.
  3. But most of all, I hope you start a new creative project today, because the world always needs cool people working on cool creations.

(P.S. I was able to trace the origins of this list back to a tweet by Marcus Romer in Oct 2013).

Steak and Avocado Salad with Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo Dressing

Set a platter of this steak and avocado salad on the table and watch it disappear. Whether it’s a family dinner, a dinner party, a potluck, or a weekend BBQ, this is a go-to summer recipe that will make everyone happy.

Primal and keto-friendly, this salad features grilled steak tossed with greens, avocado, scallions and cucumber, plus a sprinkle of crunchy pepitas [1]. The creamy chipotle dressing couldn’t be easier to make; just whisk Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayonnaise [2] with fresh lime juice.

Actually, this is more than just a salad. It’s a main course meal loaded with flavor, protein, and healthy fat. Just thinking about all the healthy fat in this recipe will make you salivate: avocado oil [3], avocados, grass-fed beef, pumpkin seeds, and a creamy and healthy dressing that delivers loads of monounsaturated fat.

Prepare this steak and avocado salad ahead of time so you can sit back and relax, knowing that your work is done and that an amazing and healthful meal is ready and waiting.

Servings: 8

Time in the Kitchen: 45 minutes, plus 30 minutes to marinate

In a blender or food processor, combine the juice of 2 limes, avocado oil [4], garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and cilantro. Blend until smooth with small flecks of cilantro. Pour the marinade over the steak in a sealable plastic bag or long shallow dish, so the beef is completely covered.

Let the meat marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Prepare grill for medium-high heat; make sure grates are clean and lightly oiled. Remove steak from marinade, shake off extra marinade, and grill 8 to 10 minutes (or longer for a thicker steak), flipping the meat once or twice until both sides are lightly charred and the steak is medium-rare. Let the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Juice the remaining lime into a small bowl. Whisk 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice and 1 tablespoon cold water into the Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo [2]. Continue to add lime juice and water until the mayonnaise reaches the desired flavor and consistency you want for the salad dressing.

Arrange butter lettuce and greens on a large platter. Scatter cucumber, scallions, pumpkin seeds, and a handful of cilantro leaves (or parsley) on top. Arrange the sliced steak over the salad. Up to this point, the salad can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated.

Right before serving, slice and add the avocados, and drizzle the Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo [2] dressing on top.

COASTS - Ongoing Learning

Today was Science day at Marnel School! We took part in 8 different experiments or explorations in different classrooms. We learnt about magnetism, electricity, forces and density. We also had members of Reading University Chemistry Department join us and they showed us how to make crystals, how to change the colour of a liquid by adding different chemicals and how to set fire to custard powder!!! A big thank you to them for joining us!

Squirrel class are well into their new topic 'Pole to Pole' now and have been learning lots of new information about the Arctic and Antarctic. Please ask us about all the different animals that live there because we know all about them.

In maths we have been learning about multiplication and division and next week we will be tackling addition.

DON'T FORGET - Friday is 'Children in Need day' so please wear pyjamas, bring a teddy and a donation for the charity.

Pole to Pole - Ongoing learning

We have settled really well into Squirrel class and I am really proud of the way everybody is learning all the new routines and way of doing things. You should all now have a book to read at home and some new words to learn. Please practise every day and soon you will be off words :)

In the Clefts of the Rock!

O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.”  Solomon 2:14

  1. Wednesday 29th,
    "Morning, MaryLu."
    A different, but cool picture for sure. Even before I read the Scripture verse, I thought of the song that says: " .... He hideth me in the cleft of the rock ...."
    Thanks so much for sharing.
    Take care, and, God Bless, In Him, Brenda

  2. Oh my goodness ..... the words in that song I was thinking of (not exactly correct above) .....
    " .... He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock ....." (But I can't remember the other words .... only the tune.)
    In Him, Brenda

  3. Hello ladies, I pray that your morning is going well. Great picture and verse as usual, MaryLu!

  4. A beautiful pic and verse, MaryLu - thank you!!

    Brenda, that song is now playing in my head, (LOL) - written by the wonderful Fannie Crosby in 1890, listed under the subject of refuge, based on Exodus 33:22, and relevant to us today:

    A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
    A wonderful Savior to me;
    He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
    Where rivers of pleasure I see.

    He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
    That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
    He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
    And covers me there with His hand,
    And covers me there with His hand.

    A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
    He taketh my burden away,
    He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
    He giveth me strength as my day.

    With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
    And filled with His fullness divine,
    I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God!
    For such a Redeemer as mine.

    When clothed with His brightness transported I rise
    To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
    His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
    I'll shout with the millions on high.

    I'm so thankful and blessed that He is my refuge!!
    Love, prayers, and hugs - MaryLu!!

    Shared post!!

  5. Hi Ladies!!! Thanks for dropping by.. Brenda and Bonnie, thank you for that song. It's been years since I've heard it.. I LOVE the last verse!! Can't wait!!! Hugs and love!

  6. I love the picture! So pretty!

Here For All Your Skincare Needs

My name is Angela K Anderson and I am the owner/operator and visionary of Mary’s Roses, LLC. And... I have Sjögren's Syndrome. It’s an auto-immune disease that attacks all connective tissue, which causes excessive dry skin. I have tried every kind of body butter and lotion out there and nothing seemed to work.

I just got tired of having dry and flaky skin. So I decided to just make my own all natural moisturizing bars, which has led to making 42 natural products.

Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat tosses his hat into the 2016 presidential race at Springfield rally (photos)

SPRINGFIELD — Standing on the steps of his creator's home with a large audience cheering "Cat, Cat, Cat," the Cat in the Hat threw his name into the ring of contenders for this year's presidential race as the official kids' candidate.

Joined by Sen. James Welch, D-West Springfield, Springfield City Council President Michael Fenton and his running mates Thing 1 and Thing 2, the Cat greeted the crowd outside 74 Fairfield St., the home where Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel grew up.

Susan Brandt, president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and the Cat's campaign manager, spoke on his behalf during the brief press conference Tuesday morning. Asked if he would release his tax returns, the Cat, through Brandt, said he absolutely will.

"I will be fully transparent," he said.

The Cat also declared he is running as an independent and will seek cabinet members with rhyming abilities.

As far as his platform, Brandt said the Cat will let kids decide what he will focus on during the campaign season. Anyone interested can visit www.catinhatforprez.com and vote for one of five options:

  • Work with Dick and Sally on reading and education

  • Work with Red Fish and Blue Fish to address ocean conservation

  • Work with the Lorax to clean up the environment

  • Work with Sam I Am to address hunger

  • Work with Horton to spread kindness

    The Cat received a glowing endorsement from Welch, who said he will lend his full support to the Cat.

    "This is an opportunity for us to recognize the wonder and the pride we have in Springfield for being the home of Dr. Seuss," Welch said.

    The event served as the official launch for the new Dr. Seuss book "One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote," which became available for purchase today for $9.99.

    After speaking with the press, the Cat and his running mates were led through the city in caravan headed for the Springfield Museums where there will be a campaign party until 2 p.m.

    The Republican has a reporter and photographer at that party and will be publishing a full report and photo gallery to MassLive.com later today.

The results are the latest in a series of breakthroughs concerning the alkali fulleride class of superconductors. By adding caesium ions to carbon-60 (fullerene) molecules, the researchers had recently synthesized body-centred cubic (bcc) Cs3C60, an alkali fulleride with a superconducting temperature of 38 Kelvin, the highest within its class. Now, they have found that its structural variant, based on the face-centred cubic (fcc) structure, is also superconducting, suggesting the superconductivity in this material is independent of the packing.

By comparing the properties of the fullerides containing different alkali atoms, the scientists also observed a universal trend, which identifies the proximity to a transition between metallic and insulating states as the key parameter controlling the superconducting behaviour. This indicates that the correlations between electrons are crucial to the superconducting mechanism.

“The alkali fullerides have traditionally been thought of as conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors”, explains Dr. Peter Baker, from the Science and Technology Council's ISIS facility in the UK, and who probed the magnetic behaviour of fcc Cs3C60  using a sophisticated technique called muon spin rotation. “Our work shows that the superconductivity in these materials emerges from an antiferromagnetic insulating state, and therefore highlights a close similarity with the more exotic high-temperature superconductors, such as the copper oxide materials”.
Copper oxide-based superconductors display the highest known superconducting transition temperatures.
However, they can only be made with one structure – a two-dimensional square motif. The alkali fullerides, on the other hand, can be made with different high symmetry structures, allowing for the effects of structural changes to be probed. Thus, says professor Kosmas Prassides, from the department of chemistry at Durham University, “we have demonstrated that the alkali fullerides are essentially three-dimensional members of the high-temperature superconductivity family".
The scientists hope their work will help to guide theoretical models of other families of high-temperature superconductors, leading to an understanding of its underlying mechanism. “The role of magnetic fluctuations appears to be very important in fcc caesium fulleride”, says Prassides. “It may therefore provide a model platform to study the proposed mechanisms giving rise to high-temperature superconductivity”.
Professor Stephen Blundell, from the University of Oxford, agrees: “The researchers have shown that superconductivity in the alkali fullerides is by no means a finished subject. They may in fact be a new paradigm for seeing high-temperature superconductivity arising in new geometries”.

It is always appropriate, and often times recommended, sending flowers or plants to the family after the funeral services are over. During this period, phone calls and words of comfort taper off. Then, the heartfelt pain of a death in the family is really experienced for the first time. The arrival of a beautiful bouquet or living plant can be so uplifting during this stage of grief and loneliness. Realizing that others still care and remember even weeks after the services can be great comfort to those in mourning.

Achilles, tendon, rupture, GP, step, surgical reconstruction, referral, diagnosis, Simmonds, Thompson

Dance floor mishap

...An urgent referral after consultation with Dr P would have led to a prompt diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture and direct primary repair...

BACKGROUND: A 56-year-old house painter – Mr G – presents at a minor injuries unit with a painful ankle and is seen by a triage nurse. The patient says he had been engaged in some lively dancing at a wedding four days previous and had awoken the next morning with pain and swelling. On examination swelling is noted to the lateral malleolus but no bruising, erythema or deformity is evident. Pain is noted on palpation of the posterior talofibular ligament and Achilles tendon. Mr G demonstrates a full range of movement in his ankle/foot and can weight-bear with a limp. The nurse diagnoses ankle sprain and advises rest and joint elevation with ice packs. Mr G is advised to return for review or to see his GP.

A week later Mr G attends his GP practice and is seen by Dr P. He complains of a painful ankle and in particular his Achilles tendon. The GP notes swelling and some minor bruising in the lateral aspect of the foot. He records that on examination there is tenderness in the Achilles region but no "step" in the tendon. He prescribes an NSAID with PPI cover and recommends Mr G to persevere with the ice and joint elevation. He recommends a physio who provides telephone advice on gentle exercises and pain management.

Mr G returns to the practice three weeks later and is seen by another GP – Dr J – who specialises in sports injuries. The GP records that the patient has experienced ankle pain for the last five weeks since an injury while dancing on a slippery wood floor. The patient recalls feeling a "sudden snap" with sharp pain. Examination reveals a negative Simmonds-Thompson test and a "step" in the Achilles tendon. Dr J diagnoses a ruptured Achilles tendon and refers the patient to the local orthopaedic clinic.

Next day an orthopaedic registrar examines Mr G and confirms the diagnosis. On advice the patient opts for non-surgical treatment with a "moon boot" and periodic review.

Six months later Mr G is still considerably debilitated – suffering with pain and difficulty walking. There is still a step in the tendon with grossly reduced plantar flexion, and he cannot weight-bear on his toes. Mr G undergoes surgery and is found to have a total rupture with a 2cm gap. Surgical reconstruction is undertaken using a flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer and the patient endures lengthy rehabilitation.

A letter of claim for damages is sent to Dr P alleging clinical negligence in the delayed diagnosis and referral of Mr G for a ruptured Achilles tendon. The letter cites a specific failure to adequately examine the patient and perform a Simmonds-Thompson test or tiptoe test. This led to delayed treatment necessitating secondary reconstruction using tendon transfer, with additional pain, reduced range of movement and restricted mobility in the big toe.

ANALYSIS/OUTCOME: MDDUS commissions a GP expert who reviews the case file. In his analysis the expert notes that in the letter of claim Mr G insists on having described a sudden sharp pain or "snap" in his ankle while dancing at a wedding, but in the notes from the triage nurse and the consultation with Dr P there is no specific mention of the point of injury – only a brief description of "ankle pain/swelling".

The expert also observes that the examination of Mr G did focus in part on the Achilles tendon but that "no step" was noted. However, in the expert's view Mr G is vulnerable to criticism in not having also asked Mr G to "stand on his tiptoes", with follow-up employing the Simmonds-Thompson test. This would have been particularly crucial if Mr G had indeed mentioned feeling acute pain on injury. The factual dispute is a matter for the court but if Mr G had mentioned feeling acute pain on injury then a more detailed examination was required. A negative Simmonds should have prompted certain referral.

A consultant orthopaedic surgeon is asked to comment on causation (consequences of any breach of duty of care). He opines that an urgent referral after consultation with Dr P would have led to a prompt diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture and direct primary repair – generally indicated within four weeks of injury. This would have prevented the need for the later more extensive flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer and subsequent pain, recovery and loss of mobility in the big toe.

Given doubt over the reported nature of the patient’s injury and the factual dispute, and Dr P having not conducted any further tests other than palpation of the Achilles tendon, MDDUS seeks to settle the case with no admission of liability.

  • Ensure notes record the specific mechanism of injury and nature of pain.
  • A specific injury considered part of the differential diagnosis list calls for specific examination to investigate that potential.
  • Justify clinical decisions in the notes even if that includes taking no action.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri legislature moved a bill forward that prohibits a product that does not come from livestock to be marketed as “meat.”

The omnibus bill sponsored by state senator Brian Munzlinger passed with a 125-22 vote. Missouri is the first state to enact the rule.

The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association released a statement in support of their decision.

"This isn't a Missouri issue. This is about protecting the integrity of the products that farm and ranch families throughout the country work hard to raise each and every day," said Mike Deering, executive vice president of the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association. "I never imagined we would be fighting over what is and isn't meat. It seems silly. However, this is very real and I cannot stress enough the importance of this issue. We are beyond pleased to see this priority legislation cross the finish-line."

Recently, lawmakers in France approved a measure that would ban the use of “meat terms” to describe plant-based reproductions of meats.

Meat industry stakeholders in the United States have launched a campaign aimed at labeling plant-based facsimiles of meat. In early April, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) released its “Principles for Regulating Fake Meat” in response to products such as the Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods’ Impossible Burger.

"This legislation does not stifle technology, but it does ensure the integrity of our meat supply and reduces consumer confusion,” Deering said. “We must ensure that those products do not mislead consumers into thinking those products are actually meat produced by farm and ranch families. The use of traditional nomenclature on alternative products is confusing to consumers and weakens the value of products derived from actual livestock production."

In February, the US Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) petitioned the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the US Dept. of Agriculture to implement labeling requirements that would exclude products not derived from animals from the definition of “beef” and “meat,” and limit the broader definition of “meat” to animal flesh or tissues harvested in a traditional manner.
