A new Israeli study showed that mice exposed to asbestos had a higher level of genetic somatic mutations compared with other regions where levels of asbestos-contaminated dust are lower.

“This study clearly indicates that there is a link between the higher levels of asbestos in the environment and the frequency of genetic somatic mutations in the mammals,” said Dr. Rachel Ben-Shlomo and Dr. Uri Shanas of the University of Haifa’s Department of Biology in Oranim.

Earlier studies of asbestos have already shown that the thin fibers which penetrate the body by inhalation or through consumption of food contaminated with the material, not only cause certain cancers but also genetic mutations in DNA structures.

It is also known that asbestos is a material that decomposes slowly, over many years.

Data from the Israeli Ministry of Health indicate a rise in the number of cancer patients from exposure to asbestos in the Western Galilee region of northern Israel, and therefore the scientists set out to examine whether genetic mutations are found in the mouse population living in the region.

The scientists studied two groups of mice – one group living close to a factory that manufactured asbestos-based products during 1952-1997, and a second group from a town where no known asbestos pollutants are found.

The results indicated differences between the groups’ DNA and that the factory mice had higher levels of genetic somatic mutations.

“These findings teach us that the pollutive, mutagenic asbestos increases somatic mutational frequency, which can in turn heighten the chances of developing cancerous growths,” the researchers said.

“This study is exciting, because it is really the first attempt to depict what the average Jew looked like 2,000 years ago,” says medical researcher Prof. Eugene Kobyliansky.Prof. Eugene Kobyliansky keeps two busts in his office. One represents the face of an average male Jew in ancient Israel from 332 to 37 B.C.E; the other is a composite face for Jewish women from the ancient Roman era (37 B.C.E. to 324 C.E.).

“It’s like looking into a time machine, going back 2,000 years, to visit these people,” says Kobyliansky.

Kobyliansky, of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, is the first researcher in the world to provide facial reconstructions of what Jews looked like in the land of Israel, before their exile into the Diaspora.

Using bone measurements collected from skulls at Jewish burial sites at Ein Gedi near the Dead Sea and the Jordan River, Kobyliansky created plastic molds on which to base the facial reconstructions. The technique was made possible through a unique forensics lab in Moscow, at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which uses the most up-to-date software in anthropological facial reconstruction to recreate facial features from craniums with about 70 percent accuracy.

Mediterranean features with African traits

The skulls of a male from the Hellenistic period and a female from the Roman period were reconstructed. Based on its facial reconstruction, the male skull might have belonged to the large Mediterranean group that inhabited the area from historic to modern times. The female skull also exhibits all the Mediterranean features but, in addition, there are probably some African traits, as manifested by the shape of the nose and face.

“This woman certainly had some African intermixture,” Kobyliansky explains. “We know from history and the stories of King Solomon that there were Ethiopian Jews in Israel. In this particular female, we see some African traits. But maybe she was absolutely white in color. It’s impossible to say.”

One problem that has always plagued students of Jewish physiognomy has been the lack of representation. While Egyptians, Romans and other peoples in the near Middle East region were well represented in art through painting and sculpture, Jewish custom, like that of Islam, dictated that human beings — especially holy figures — not be represented in form or image.

Forbidden images

Says Kobyliansky: “Jews didn’t create sculptures of themselves or paint pictures of an ideal. It was forbidden to do so.”

Another obstacle to anthropological studies of ancient physiognomy has been strict reverence for Jewish burial customs. Jewish law prevents the exhumation of Jewish bones, except under extreme circumstances. In Kobyliansky’s case, he created his plastic molds from cranial remains collected over several decades.

Kobyliansky, who is also director of the Lilian and Marcel Pollak Chair in Biological Anthropology at TAU, compared his composite molds of 2,000-year-old skulls to skulls from 17th-century Jews from Prague to confirm his findings.

The first study of its kind in the world, Kobyliansky’s research was published recently in German journal Anthropol Anz.

Netflix open sources user device security check tool

Gives security recommendations instead of heavy-handed policy enforcement.

Streaming video giant Netflix has released its Stethoscope web application as open source to help workers make informed decisions on device security.

Netflix engineers Jesse Kriss and Andrew White said the idea behind Stethoscope was to collect information on their devices so as to give them clear and concise recommendation on how to secure them.

A more active approach to device security by users avoids heavy-handed policy enforcement while providing people with the freedom to work as they see fit, they said.

"We believe people are most productive and effective when they they aren’t hemmed in by excessive rules and process," the two Netflix engineers said.

Stethoscope can be used to collect information on both desktop and mobile devices. It retrieves information from enterprise management systems such as JAMF, LanDesk and Google's G Suite mobile device management.

Security practices such as disk encryption, firewall status, screen saver lock and password, operating system patching and auto-updating are evaluated by Stethoscope, along with device rooting and jailbreaks, and whether or not monitoring software tools are installed.

Stethoscope requires Python for the back end. The Nginx web server and reverse proxy and can be run as a Docker container.

The software is available on the Github open source code repository under an Apache 2.0 licence.

INTEREST CHECK Unnamed Fantasy RPG with an Unnamed Guild

Discussion in 'THREAD ARCHIVES' started by Fluffy, Jul 12, 2011.

  1. Inspired by:

    Fantasy RPGs
    The Guild
    An acid trip dream I had three nights ago
    This episode of South Park

    Now that I have some space freed up on my roleplay list, I thought I'd see about anyone being interested in this idea of mine. Simply, some gamers who keep contact through messengers [Skype, etc.] and the in-game chat are dedicated to a computer game I have yet to think of a name for. Don't want to call it WoW or RIFT or anything specifically, just...some game. :|

    Anyway, one day, weird stuff happens! DUN DUN DUN!!!
    They're sucked into the video game! And the first time they meet each other, they are in a fantasy world.

    If they want to go back to the real world, they have to complete quests in the game. They've taken on the images of their characters, be they a Dwarf, Elf, Human, Argonian, Giant, Dryad--whatever. I want to make this open to all sorts of races and classes, but I'll probably make a list for each to give people ideas and combinations to choose from. I'm even considering bonuses, such as if you're an Elf, you get an extra magic spell or...something. This is a work in progress.

    Before I take the idea further, I wanted to see if anyone was interested. More than interested, though. You have to actually join. >:[ I'll probably enter it into the Game Master challenge, too, so I need reliable participants!

    You guys get to name our characters' guild and if you want to, you can help me think of a name for the video game too.
  2. I'll join in.

    Well, DnD 4e has assassins (yep, assassins, like ninjas) who used shadow to just pown things. I'll play as one of those.

    Then you have all sorts of things. Half Vampire Human Assassin. Yep, that awesome.
  3. First off, this idea sounds amazing. I love it. It's fresh, it's original, and I would so join it! This seems like something I would be RPing in for hours on end. And you can count me as reliable. As for races and stuff, I'd say make it a looooooooooong list so people can have more room for custom stuff, maybe even make their own races?

    Also I am no good with guild names, but one that came up for me was Reality Bites. Seeing as it's ironic how real people get sucked into a game xD
  4. Thats a good one. Very good. Nice going Shadow.

    Nice game for the Gamecube by the way. Was interesting.
  5. Glad you two are interested. <3

    No worries, it would be a long list of races and stuff. I'll be putting a lot of time and writing into the OOC for this, as well as the plotting. I'm going to keep Reality Bites in mind. I decided to make a poll for everyone to vote in and the one with the most gets to be our Guild. :]

    I'll need a minimum before starting, too. Our tank/melee, our ranger/archer, our healer/cleric, our combat mage... Once I have one of each, people can be whatever they'd like. I don't want only 1 healer with 5 fighters, if you know what I'm saying. x__x A standard, balanced party will assure victories.
  6. Pretty much I will be the striker, the ninja.

    And the blood drinker. The awkward one.
  7. Epic! I'd love to join, especially if I can start after the 22nd. My sister's going on her honeymoon and I'm watching my nephew. Let me know, okay?
  8. I'd be the serious one that tries to bring everyone together, the "too into the game" hardcore one I guess you could say who wants the best armor and stuff.
  9. No problem, Kai. I doubt I'd get the IC up anytime before the 22nd, anyway. XD

    Having 3 interested people is awesome. It's enough motivation to at least get some planning done. I'll have way more time next week, I think. I encourage you to tell all yo friends about my game. ;]

    All I know is I kinda wanna be a bard... But being GM, maybe I should be someone more leader-y, like a fighter. They created the guild, after all. c__c
  10. I am definately interested.
  11. So is this RP ready yet? I just recently did some kickin' photoshop work on my light elf and I'd love to add her!

The Knick - S02 E01

As Barrow and The Knick prepare to move uptown, Dr. Edwards lobbies the hospital board to be appointed permanent chief of surgery in Dr. Thackery’s absence. Though his suspension has been lifted, Dr. Gallinger refuses to return as Edwards’ subordinate, so he heads to Cromartie Hospital in hopes of getting Thackery to return to work. Lucy’s attempts to make amends with Bertie are rebuffed; Cleary schemes to make extra money; Ping Wu demands regular medical checkups for his prostitutes; Speight attempts to trace the origins of a new plague; Cornelia nourishes a quarantined neighborhood in San Francisco.

Episode Title: Ten Knots
Airs: 2015-10-16 at 10:00 PM
  • Verne Gay

    Soderbergh has created a vibrant, dark and above all alluring Gotham. Owen's Thackery is its bracing human counterpart.

    Newsday Full Review
  • Chuck Bowen

    Steven Soderbergh's The Knick is exhilaratingly alien.

    Slant Magazine Full Review
  • Erik Adams

    The Knick rides the beautifully brutal, brutally beautiful nexus of 2014’s televised finest--Hannibal, True Detective, and The Leftovers all leap to mind--set aside by moments of true hope.

    The A.V. Club Full Review
  • Ed Bark

    The Knick towers above previous original dramas Strike Back and Banshee, giving Cinemax a gold star on an increasingly crowded boulevard of bravura television.

    Uncle Barky Full Review
  • Melissa Maerz

    The show was created by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, but it's Soderbergh's vision, from the brilliant but unusual score (minimalist electronic music) to the wry camera angles (the series opens on Owen's shoes as he lounges in a brothel). For a period piece, it's strikingly contemporary--and quite gory, although the surgery scenes never feel gratuitous.

    Entertainment Weekly Full Review
  • Matthew Gilbert

    The Knick is an astonishing new medical drama that has the potential to be one of the year’s best and most talked-about shows, as well as a breakthrough into TV series excellence for its star, Clive Owen, and its director and executive producer, Steven Soderbergh.

    Boston Globe Full Review
  • Matt Zoller Seitz

    Not since Deadwood has a period-drama production designed to a fare-thee-well and steeped in nasty atmosphere been so politically astute about who has power over whom and why--although the subtler brand of gallows humor and Soderbergh’s fondness for intricately choreographed long takes aligns The Knick with a different TV classic that Deadwood creator David Milch worked on, Hill Street Blues.

    New York Magazine (Vulture) Full Review
  • Curt Wagner

    It's not easy to watch, but the Steven Soderbergh-directed period hospital drama sure is worth a look.

    RedEye Full Review
  • Mark A. Perigard

    For fans of quality TV, The Knick will evoke memories of the South Boston-set “St. Elsewhere.” That show needed more than a season to work out its kinks. The Knick is already off to a robust start.

    Boston Herald Full Review
  • Alan Sepinwall

    If the show takes a while to warm up--and seems to hit certain character beats, like Thack's cocaine addiction, or his feelings towards rookie nurse Lucy Elkins (Eve Hewson), over and over again--it builds in the way you would hope a modern cable drama season would, and many of the repetitive earlier scenes wind up laying a foundation for major shifts in the season's second half.

    Hitfix Full Review
  • Matt Roush

    The Knick is compulsively, crudely riveting, even when your natural instinct is to avert your eyes and demand to be released from this hellhole, stat.

    TV Guide Magazine Full Review
  • Joanne Ostrow

    Overall, The Knick is a sublimely addictive ride for which viewers will want to scrub up.

    Denver Post Full Review
  • John Anderson

    Despite some clumsy exposition by its creators, Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, it has a well-researched sense of place.

    Wall Street Journal Full Review
  • David Hinckley

    Cinemax originals have mostly been built on testosterone and skin. The Knick gives us a fuller and richer body.

    New York Daily News Full Review
  • Brian Tallerico

    There’s an undercurrent of tragedy in nearly every scene of The Knick, and yet the show never becomes overly depressing. Full Review
  • Alessandra Stanley

    The Knick is unusual and very good. It’s a great leap backward in time, yet another ambitious examination of at an important but often overlooked epoch in history.

    The New York Times Full Review
  • Kristi Turnquist

    For all its volatility and rough textures, after a few episodes, The Knick begins to draw you into its idiosyncratic rhythms.

    The Oregonian Full Review
  • Tim Molloy

    Despite first impressions that can feel one-note, all the characters turn out to be complicated and intriguing.

    The Wrap Full Review
  • Chuck Barney

    Under Soderbergh's direction, The Knick is a dark and gritty saga that captures a time of major changes--not only on the medical front, but in industrialization and race relations.

    San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times Full Review
  • Sara Smith

    Like “True Detective,” The Knick benefits from a consistent vision and stellar cinematography. Its turn-of-the-century sets and costuming will transport viewers into the past more vividly than any stuffy sitting room in “Downton Abbey.” But it requires dedication to stick around with The Knick until the action gets going a few episodes in.

    Kansas City Star Full Review
  • Maureen Ryan

    The results of Soderbergh's latest foray into series television are frequently terrific.

    The Huffington Post Full Review
  • Tim Goodman

    It’s a serious work of television that is angling to dramatize numerous weighty subjects, and isn’t overly concerned with distracting the audience with shiny objects in the process.

    The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
  • Tom Long

    A period piece with serious punch, The Knick isn’t for the faint of heart.

    The Detroit News Full Review
  • Robert Bianco

    Aided by that blood and a driving, anachronistic techno-beat score, The Knick avoids the worst trap of a period piece: It isn't quaint. It's also never dull.

    USA Today Full Review
  • Gail Pennington

    The Knick (rated TV-MA, and definitely for mature audiences only) can be difficult to watch. Medical procedures are graphic, as are scenes involving Thackery’s drug use. But this is one riveting drama.

    St. Louis Post-Dispatch Full Review
  • Cynthia Fuchs

    While the designated flawed hero John espouses an essential grasp of the purpose of medicine and the workings of disease (“Despite what you may believe,” he tells Cornelia, “Sickness isn’t a result of poor character, germs don’t examine your bankbook”), he’s also stymied, by his own prejudices as well as money concerns. That these might take him in different directions suggests the series has some sense of the difficulty of medicine then and still.

    PopMatters Full Review
  • Robert Lloyd

    The series is at its most convincing, and most beautiful, at its most static. When the show bursts into action, or insists upon making its characters intense and extraordinary--some of them fictionally take credit for real-world medical advances and inventions--it grows, paradoxically, proportionally less interesting.

    Los Angeles Times Full Review
  • James Poniewozik

    It doesn’t have the distinctive voice and language that David Milch gave Deadwood, though, and the writing isn’t always up to the distinctive direction and performances. The show grows on you, though, or it did on me.

    Time Full Review
  • Alee Karim

    Under this gorgeous dressing, The Knick feels curiously hollow.

    Under The Radar Full Review
  • Ellen Gray

    We've seen addicted medicos before, and the first two episodes of The Knick don't render any of the characters as three-dimensional as their setting (though that's asking a lot of a pilot--and the second episode is better).

    Philadelphia Daily News Full Review
  • David Hiltbrand

    The series is exceedingly good at what it does, but that is not storytelling, which leaves The Knick in the curious position of being utterly absorbing without being particularly engaging.

    Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
  • Rob Owen

    All 10 episodes of the first season are directed by Mr. Soderbergh, who brings grittiness and the occasional odd camera angle but not much light to the proceedings (this is a seriously dark show with limited use of lighting). Writers/series creators Jack Amiel and Michael Begler introduce plenty of characters with interwoven, serialized storylines but there’s not much new under the dim sun in The Knick.

    Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
  • Lori Rackl

    This dark medical drama directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh suffers from multiple ailments, not least of which is its relentlessly grim tone.

    Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
  • Willa Paskin

    All the care that Soderbergh has taken with the colors, the camera, the blood--all his masterfully deployed aesthetic choices--stand in stark contrast to the care taken with the scripts.

    Slate Full Review
  • Brian Lowry

    The resulting episodes, however, are a bit like an impressionistic painting: intriguing to look at, perhaps, but not always clear in conveying what the actual intent is. And while the characters and their relationships do progress, for the most part those arcs develop along assiduous and fairly predictable lines.

    Variety Full Review
  • Emily Nussbaum

    Rather than innovate, the series, on Cinemax, leans hard on cable drama’s hoariest (and whoriest) antiheroic formulas, diluting potentially powerful themes.

    The New Yorker Full Review
  • Hank Stuever

    It’s as if someone looked up instructions for making a period cable TV drama and followed them to the letter--and wound up with something like a “Boardwalk Empire”-style story arc set in an old-timey “E.R.,” only with a much weaker pulse.

General Dermatology

Dr. Jeffrey Berti and Dr. Toula Berti specialize in advanced treatment of all skin disorders for men, women and children. In addition, the physicians at Dermatology & Dermatologic Surgery, Ltd. also offer a number of procedures for skin rejuvenation and body contouring.

Psoriasis: Overview

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis (sore-EYE-ah-sis) is a chronic (long-lasting) disease. It develops when a person’s immune system sends faulty signals that tell skin cells to grow too quickly. New skin cells form in days rather than weeks.

The body does not shed these excess skin cells. The skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin, causing patches of psoriasis to appear.
Psoriasis may look contagious, but it's not.

You cannot get psoriasis from touching someone who has it. To get psoriasis, a person must inherit the genes that cause it.

Types of psoriasis

If you have psoriasis, you will have one or more of these types:

  • Plaque (also called psoriasis vulgaris).
  • Guttate.
  • Inverse (also called flexural psoriasis or intertriginous psoriasis).
  • Pustular.
  • Erythrodermic (also called exfoliative psoriasis).

Some people get more than one type. Sometimes a person gets one type of psoriasis, and then the type of psoriasis changes.

    Text box field not accepting alphanumeric characters

    Asked by andypenn on March 20, 2016 at 01:12 PM

    I am using text field with conditions to enable a secure form using clients own telephone numbers. My problem is where (for an instance) you may have a situation where two or more people share the same telephone number, a simple way around this would to include for and instance an F after the number indicating that it is the female partner and M for the male counterpart, I have no problem with conditions the problem lies with the field that I am using for the the secure form activation as it wont allow alphanumeric characters and I cant seem to find a way of altering.

    any advice on this be most welcome

    Answered by Kiran on March 20, 2016 at 02:07 PM

    I believe that you are referring to the Identification code field in your JotForm. I see that this field is a number field and hence it is not accepting any alphabets.

    Please replace this field with a text box field from Form Tools section so that it should be accepting alphanumeric characters.

    Hope this information helps! Please get back to us if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Dr. Arnold Capute, Father' of Developmental Pediatrics, Dies at Age 80

Dr. Arnold J. Capute, a faculty member at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for nearly forty years, died Nov. 30 at age 80. Dr. Capute devoted most of his career to increasing pediatricians' understanding of neurodevelopmental disabilities, and was instrumental in the creation of the field of Developmental Pediatrics, now called Neurodevelopmental Disabilities.

A New York native, Dr. Capute graduated from Queens College and Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia. He joined the faculty at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1967. Dr. Capute directed the first training program in developmental pediatrics and made significant contributions to the field's literature. His textbook, Developmental Disabilities in Infancy and Childhood, has become a critical reference for medical students. In 1978, Dr. Capute designed an annual continuing education course, Spectrum of Developmental Disabilities, that offers pediatricians and other interested professionals several days of presentations by experts in topics in the field.

Dr. Capute's most lasting contribution to his field is arguably his staunch support of the creation of a Board Subspecialty Certification in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities in 1999. The fellowship he began in 1967 ultimately became the first Board - certified program in this field.

Justice Department Awards Grant for Research on Juvenile Crime Prevention

Kennedy Krieger recently received a two-year, $496,750 grant funded by the U.S. Department of Justice. The award is intended to help the Institute expand its existing programs designed to prevent juvenile crime and delinquency, as well as initiate new interventions. The project, led by Behavioral Psychology Department Director Dr. Michael Cataldo, focuses on targeting behavior problems that are precursors to more serious problems such as delinquency, drug-taking, pregnancy and school failure. The behavior problems addressed by these interventions include disruptive behavior at home and in school, non-compliance with rules and parental requests, aggression and other forms of externalizing behavior disorders. It is expected that this new initiative will provide needed services to about 1,000 families per year.

Kennedy Krieger High School Students Attend Constitutional Conference

Two students from Kennedy Krieger High School Career and Technology Center received a unique civics lesson at Maryland Congressman Ben Cardin's annual constitutional seminar. The event, held Nov. 14 at the University of Baltimore School of Law, offered area high school students a chance to act as a mock Congress, hear expert testimony and construct and vote on legislation. School faculty chose senior Larry Bruce and junior Shamika Gaskins to participate because both have expressed interest in studying law.

This year's seminar focused on the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution the rights to due process and speedy, public trials. Prior to attending the conference, Larry, Shamika and the other students reviewed materials relating to 2001's Patriot Act. After debating and voting on their own "legislation", the students enjoyed a presentation by a law professor and listened to lawyers argue for and against the constitutionality of the "law" the students passed.

New Grants Support AMN Research

Kennedy Krieger has received two grants to further researchers' understanding of adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN ), the adult variant of the neurological disorder adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). A two-year, $100,000 grant from the Dana Foundation supports a study led by Dr. Hugo Moser to determine whether a new imaging technique is senstive enough to gauge the progression of AMN by examining the white matter in the spinal cord. The study also hopes to find that the technique can detect enough white matter change over a 12-month period to make it a useful tool in measuring the effects of therapeutic trials. In addition, Dr, Gerald Raymond has received a two-year, $372,312 grant from the National Institutes of Health to support a study that will use both imaging and functional motor assessments to gauge the progression of AMN in 30 patients at baseline, six months and one year and tie those results to cervical cord imaging of the dorsal columns and corticospinal tracts.

Peru Tours

Mystical, spiritual, cultural and culinary, Peru offers so many diverse enjoyments that it only makes sense to plan a customized guided tour. Set out with your bilingual guide on a journey to Machu Picchu, recently named “one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.” Stand at the pinnacle of Incan power overlooking the ancient Lost City.

On A Peru Tour

On Your Peru Tour

Traveling in Peru

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people flock to Peru to take in the sights. Why visit Peru? Perhaps it is the centuries of history evident in some of its most famous sites, such as Machu Picchu, or the delicious food and inviting people. It could even be the natural wonders, like the Amazon River and Colca canyon. Peru tours have all of this and much more.

Unique Travel Experiences in Peru

Though it was built in the 1400s, much of the world did not know of Machu Picchu’s existence until 1911, when an archaeologist named Hiram Bingham set out to find Vilcabamba, the final Incan stronghold to be conquered by Spain. Local farmers told him of the existence of ancient
ruins that had gone virtually unnoticed by outsiders for hundreds of years. They guided him to the site, which historians now believe to have been a royal estate for Incan emperors and nobles. Bingham quickly wrote a book about all he had seen, and the world took a sharp and immediate
interest in learning more about this historical relic.

Getting to Machu Picchu:

Today, historically-minded visitors can travel to Machu Picchu on guided tours, designed to showcase its beauty and majesty. Tucked away in the mountains, getting to the site requires a moderate hike known as the Inca trail. A destination in its own right, this trail traverses about 26 miles of Peruvian panoramic views, reaching an ultimate elevation of 13,000 feet. Most of these guided tours start in or near Cusco, a city in the country’s southern region, and are conducted over the course of several days. Getting to Machu Picchu is as much of an adventure as seeing the ruins themselves.

The wonders of Machu Picchu:

Machu Picchu luxury tours are the best way to experience the splendor of one of the world’s most popular destinations. After completing the Inca trail, visitors can see some of the region’s most ancient iconography, such as the Temple of the Sun, which is bathed in light during the summer, and the Temple of Three Windows, one of the most religiously significant sites in the region. It only takes one luxury trip to Machu Picchu to understand why it has been designated one of the Seven New Wonders of the World.

Colca Canyon:

Any person drawn to breathtaking natural views would be well advised to travel on a Colca Canyon tour. Slicing through more than 60 miles of the Andes, the canyon is nearly twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, dipping more than two miles at its lowest point. Visitors can watch condors soar through the air above them as they trek through the world’s second deepest canyon. Thrill seekers can descend via a zigzag path, and will be rewarded with some of the most scenic views the country of Peru has to offer.

Amazon River:

What would a guided tour of Peru be without a stop by the world’s greatest river? Just about 4,000 miles long, the Amazon carries a greater volume of water than any other river on the planet. Amazon River tours let people get up close and personal with wildlife, taking in the amazing biodiversity along its banks. Giant otters, dolphins, electric eels and jaguars are but a few of the animals that can be witnessed on the tour. In addition, visitors can see and learn about villages that few outside of the area ever get to experience.

Food and Drink:

Peru food culture is much like the country itself: eclectic, dynamic, and steeped in history. The Humboldt current gives Peru some of the best seafood in the world, clear in dishes like ceviche, a flavorful preparation of raw fish marinated in citrus. Meat lovers are encouraged to chow down on marinated beef skewers known as antichucos, or aji de gallina, a hearty chicken stew. Wash it all down with pisco, the country’s national drink.

Right in the heart of the Andes is Cusco, one of the few cities deliberately preserved after the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Today, Cusco tours in Peru showcase the city’s distinct religious iconography and ancient artifacts, as well as more modern attractions, such as Cienciano, Peru’s premier football team. Cusco is considered so important and historically significant that in 1983, UNESCO declared it to be a world heritage site.

Peru’s capital and largest city, Lima is home to nearly 10 million people, as well as some of the most important and interesting cultural artifacts the country has to offer. It is the location of the National University of San Marcos, the oldest continuously functioning university in the New World, as well as the highest concentration of museums in Peru. Travelers also often visit to review Lima’s churches, many of which date back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

Nazca Lines:

Since the 1920s, drawings in the Nazca desert have puzzled historians and tourists alike. Are they roads? Irrigation markers? Positive proof that aliens once visited an ancient civilization? Nazca Lines theories are plentiful and in some cases fanciful, and this ongoing enigma continues to draw great interest. Despite research, they remain something of a mystery, meaning that visitors are free to visit, review, and add their own interpretations.

Passport Requirements for Peru Tours

American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart Peru.Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure. Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.

Please make a photocopy of your passport’s identification page and keep it separate from the original. It’s also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed the replacement process should you lose your passport.

Visa Requirements for Peru Tours

American and Canadian citizens traveling on regular passports for business or tourist purposes do not need a visa for a stay of up to 90 days. Please note that if you are staying longer than 90 days, obtaining a visa is your responsibility. These requirements change often and therefore it is recommended that you check with the Embassy of Peru for the most up- to-date information.

Insurance Recommendations for Peru Tours

Cancellation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty doctor’s bill while away. Insurance can be purchased through us.

Vaccination Requirements for Peru Tours

Some vaccines require more than one dose or a major length of time to be effective. For that reason, it is recommended to see your doctor or health provider at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip. Please bring vaccination certificates with you in your carry-on luggage as you may need to present them on arrival.

Currently Required Vaccinations:

A Yellow Fever vaccination is required for those traveling to the jungle and cities nearby. It must be given at least 10 days before your trip in order to be effective.

You may also want to ask your travel health professional about tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis A & B, malaria, rabies and typhoid, depending on the areas you will be visiting.

Altitude sickness is a risk at high levels such as Cusco (11,200 ft/3,414 metres). Give yourself time to acclimatise before setting off into the mountains. Walk slowly and drink plenty of water.

Medication Requirements for Peru Tours

If there are any medical items essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items. Other recommended Items:

  • Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), after-sun lotion, lip balm, wide brimmed hat, sunglasses
  • Insect repellent with a high concentration of DEET (at least 30 percent if traveling to the Amazon)
  • Basic medicine kit (painkillers, band-aids, antiseptic cream, etc.)
  • Digestive aids such as Imodium, Pepto-Bismol; re-hydration salts and anti-diarrhea preparations
  • Hydrocortisone tablets or cream for allergic skin reactions and bites
  • Anti-nausea tablets if you suffer from motion sickness

Clothing and Essential Items for Peru Travel

Suggested items to pack:

  • Quick-drying shirts, shorts and hiking trousers (zip-off trousers are highly recommended)
  • Waterproof windbreaker, long trousers & long-sleeved tops for the rainforest
  • Bathing suit and small towel
  • Comfortable clothes for hanging out in the evenings
  • A good set of earplugs (dogs, monkeys, buses, neighbors, etc.) can be invaluable!
  • Flashlight/ Torch, Watch/Alarm clock
  • Plastic bags, good for keeping valuables dry in the rainy season
  • Binoculars if you are interested in the local wildlife—especially birds
  • Hiking poles if you will be doing a lot of hiking
  • Small umbrella if visiting during the rainy season
  • Photographers: Remember to pack sufficient memory cards, a spare camera battery, charger and dust-resistant case.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pretty Dinnerware Set This dinnerware set arrived very quickly. It was well packed and everything was intact with no broken or chipped pieces. The design of the dinnerware is absolutely beautiful and I really love the square shape to the plates. However, as another reviewer stated; the dinner plates are a lot smaller than my family is used to. They aren't the 11 inch plates one usually gets with dinnerware. I use them anyway and enjoy the look they bring to my table. I'm satisfied with this purchase.
Date published: 2015-02-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and Excellent Quality Replaced all my sets of dishes with service for 12 of this beautiful dinnerware. The plates are a little smaller than my old ones but I think that is actually a good thing. No raised ring of wasted space. The colors are vibrant and match the picture. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unique dish style with stylish design We really liked the square design. The lily flower was nice; visible but not too obnoxious.
Date published: 2014-10-11
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Quality Leave Much To Be Desired I have had these dishes for less than a month. However, they are not very strong. I have had 1 break and 1 chip, just for running through my dishwasher. They are supposed to be dishwasher safe.

About the hotel

The building of the house was started in 1838 and completed in 1842, built for a local lawyer, Edmund Davis. Earl Mount Cashell subsequently used it as a Hunting Lodge. In 1916 the Jenkins made 'Beryl' their family home until we were so fortunate to purchase it in 1979.

Since then, we have lovingly restored the house and gardens and are delighted to be able to share it.

Nestling in the Mendip hills, one mile from the centre of the cathedral city of Wells, Beryl is set in 13 acres of parkland. Within the grounds are finely manicured lawns, carefully tended borders and a restored Victorian walled garden. Your arrival will be greeted with warmth and courtesy, the epitome of country house hospitality and a welcomed afternoon tea/coffee and cake awaits you.

Elegant reception rooms are comfortably furnished with antiques, offering you the chance to relax by warm fires on a cold day, play board games or watch television - find a quiet corner to sit and read a favourite book, and maybe take a drink from the honesty bar.

The garden is an interesting walk, it contains a Victorian walled garden. A gully with an old stone bridge and the most beautiful English Bluebells (when in season), an ornamental pond and various avenues of maturing trees, on the lower lawns. A children's play area can be found on the main lawn, and our outdoor pool is open May to September (weather permitting).

Each of the uniquely decorated bedrooms come equipped with everything a guest needs to enjoy their stay. The beds are all extremely comfy and some rooms boast impressive four-poster beds. Most rooms on the first floor have a bath and shower facilities, whereas rooms on the second floor all have a shower.

After a good night's sleep, breakfast is served in the traditional dining room, overlooking the main lawn. An impressive continental buffet and a freshly cooked breakfast straight off the aga await guests every morning.

Days inn Bridgend

Really enjoyed my stay, very clean staff were very helpful with what we needed.

I would say that the only downfall was that there was not enough plug sockets in the room, but that is just being picky. Overall really enjoyed my stay and I'm looking to book here again next year sometime.

Good value

Needed hotel at short notice and found days inn.

Overall the accomadation was very good. Clean, tidy and warm. Lovely greeting when we arrived. I did have a few issues, but i am very picky. I would have preferred duvet to sheet as i had to ask for another 1. I didn't sleep at all due to hearing traffic noise but the main reason was water running into toilet pan constantly all night. In the morning though i did notify reception and they were very apologetic and gave us a continental breakfast on the house. A big issue that does need to be sorted,especially with technology these days, 1 plug socket is not enough. We had 2 mobiles, ipad and camera that needed charging and could only partly charge them. You couldn't make a cup of tea as you couldn't use socket.

Overall it is value for money.

Another way of loading grass clippings from Walker

Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by ksland, Oct 2, 2002.

    Check out this idea I have been working on... I had a front ramp welded to my trailer which connects the trailer to my dumper. The ramp is just a bit steep, will go up but Kind of scary. So after some deep thought in deciding how to make this ok situation practical I have come up with this... Now at first it sounds a little strange but hear me out... I have a rolling tarp with bearings at each end on the front of my dumper. What I do is unroll the tarp (which is easy once I drop the front gate, just walk right up) and pull it down to the first 4 or so feet of the trailer. Similar to the load handler concept. I can then make 4 dumps from the walker on the trailer which I have no lawns I collect more than that. Load up and before I take off I roll the tarp in. It pulls the grass up the gate and packs it to the front of the body. I then unroll on the next job and pull in the next load right over what is there. It packs the grass clippings in tight! I am telling you much better than just dumping in the truck. I am pretty sure I can do 20 hoppers full in one load easily. Sure the tarp will wear out after a while but the one that came with my truck is super heavy duty. And also I am thinking when I put a big leaf box on just mount the tarp roller up high in the box and I should be able to fill that box right up. I know it sounds crazy but I works awesome. I see no downfalls of doing it this way. And once I roll up my last load I can still use the tarp to cover the load no different.

    sounds like a good idea!!! post some pictures if possible!!

    kinda like a built in load handler, but reversed...

    I'd like to see some pictures also. The only drawback with the Walker is getting rid of the grass. How are you pulling the tarp up to the front? I mean with enough force to compact the grass. Thanks for the post.

    I have been slowing thinking of ideas on this subject. I saw in the last TURF magazine a product from the website usaramp.com (I think this what it's called). I have not been there to check it out, but it's a portable ramp that goes from the trailer to the truck. Sounds like your idea is working for you. I would like to see some pics also.

    Anyone of us walker users out here use the dump lift option that sells for like 3 grand???

    Got some info on it and its supposed to cycle up and back in less then 20 seconds and reach over the sides of at least a mason dump.

    Now I know three grand sounds like alot of dough, but getting the grass into the truck off the tarp is by far the worse part of using a walker. And knowing how many times Ive dumped in the five years Ive owned this one it deffinately would have been worth the expense in terms of labor savings.

    Anyone on here use this and want to share their experiences??

    I had seen pics of it, and always wanted one. If nothing else to save your back, I know yall know what I mean. :( Walker doesn't like the idea, they claim the frame isn't built for it. Dunno

Steaming is a quick and gentle method of cooking that doesn’t require any special equipment. Although metal and bamboo steamers are available to purchase, you can instead set up a makeshift steamer using common household items such as colanders, pie tins, plates and cooling racks. These homemade steamers suit a variety of foods, including vegetables, dumplings, fish and tamales. For best results, always line your steamers with parchment paper to protect the food from sticking.

Metal Colander

Metal colanders can serve as steamer baskets for vegetables and other items that don’t require a flat surface on which to cook. Hang the colander’s handles over the rim of a pot, so that the colander is suspended inside. If the colander has no handles, set it on an overturned heatproof bowl inside the pot. Fill the bottom of the pot with water, keeping the water level below the bottom of the colander. Rest the pot’s cover on top of the colander.

Aluminum Pie Pan

You can convert a disposable aluminum pie pan into a perforated steamer tray with a flat bottom, ideal for steaming dumplings. Use a wooden skewer to poke several holes in the pie tin, allowing the steam to distribute evenly. Place the pie tin on an overturned heatproof bowl or ramekin, inside a pot that is wide enough to hold the pie tin. Add water below the pie tin, add the food in a single layer, and cover the pot.

Heatproof Plate

A heatproof plate is another simple option for steaming delicate food on a sturdy, flat surface. Choose a plate that is small enough to fit comfortably inside of a pot or wok, with space around the edges for the steam to rise. Place the plate on an overturned heatproof bowl or ramekin to keep it above the water. Arrange the food on the plate in a single layer, and keep the pot covered during cooking.

Oven Steaming

The oven is a convenient option for steaming large quantities of food, such as tamales or whole fish. Fit a metal broiler rack or cooling rack in a large roasting pan, using overturned ovenproof bowls to create space under the rack for water. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, place the food on the rack and fill the bottom of the roasting pan with boiling water. Cover the roasting pan with foil and transfer it to the warm oven.

New Modern Lace platters

Posted July 14, 2013 in kiln firing, lee wolfe pottery, modern lace

I have 2 new Modern Lace platters and plan to make more in this series!

Aren't they fun? I also stocked Birds Nest Casseroles; it may not be enough, but I will have more by next week. There is also a new Owl Casserole, owl soap dish, and more leaf and flower sets. I had many custom orders this week so only a few open stock pieces, but more next week.

My daughter and I have had some Movie Mornings this week, where we lounge and watch movies while the rain washes the world outside. It feels so luxurious. Hope you find some lazy and restful time this summer to let stress melt away.
