Olvera is another one of those fairytale villages that from a distance is spellbinding. As you cross the rugged plains of the Sierra de Grazalema you will at once see, rising out of the surrounding olive groves, an exquisite white village with a soaring cathedral and castle at its center.

Olvera is yet another chance to go back in time and explore these ancient white villages along the now famous "pueblos blancos" route in southern Spain. If you are thinking of visiting these beautiful towns, Olvera is one not to miss.

The town was even declared a center of "Artistic and Historic Importance" in 1983 by the Spanish government.

Check out the other White villages: Grazalema - Setenil de las Bodegas - Zahara de la Sierra

Explore the Village of Olvera - 10 Things to Do and See!

Olvera from a Distance- Andalucía - Spain

Where is Olvera?

The Moorish village of Olvera sits at the crossroads where the provinces of Cadiz, Seville and Malaga meet. It is in the north west corner of Cadiz and about 50 min north of one of Andalucía's most treasured villages, Ronda.

The town rises 643 meters above sea level with extraordinary views of the surrounding mountains, patchwork farmland and olive plantations.

Olvera is small, so a visit will only take you about half a day.

If you're planning to overnight in one of the villages along the "pueblos blancos" route, Olvera has a few options, but not as many as some of the neighboring towns. You might want to check out the hotels on these pages as well... Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra & Setenil de las Bodegas.

A Little History

Little is really known about the history of Olvera. It seems we have more questions than answers as to how it came to be.

One thing we do know is that some sort of settlement has existed here for more than two thousand years. And, through relics that have been found locally, we know that human life has been flourishing in this area since Paleolithic times (12,000 years ago!!).

Olvera was definitely inhabited by both the Phoenicians and the Romans. We also know that the Romans called the village "Hippa" or "Hippo Nova" which some argue translates to a 'well', 'woodland' or 'olive grove'.

The Moors most likely invaded and moved into the area in the 9th century. They began construction of the town they called "Wubira" or "Uriwila". They would have remained in the area until conquered by the Christians in 1327.

One very interesting fact is that a future Mayor of the city of Lima (Peru) was born in Olvera in 1487.

Not long after the Christians conquered Olvera, control was given to the Guzman family who had been very active in the defense of Tarifa during the Reconquest. But, later the Duke of Osuna took control of the town and his son (Nicolás de Ribera) was the leader of the Spanish conquest of Peru. Ribera became mayor of Lima in 1535.

10 Things You Must See in Olvera!

1. The Villa Neighborhood

Olvera Barrio de la Villa- Andalucía - Spain

La Villa is the original Moorish village that included the Cathedral (which was a mosque at the time), the Plaza Iglesia surrounding it, the castle and the maze of tiny streets just below. During Moorish times the entire town would have resided in this neighborhood, the surrounding areas were undeveloped.

Take a stroll through the narrow streets of this picturesque area. The houses are all whitewashed in the typical Spanish style and adorned with colorful flowers overflowing from their pots. The maze of cobblestone streets winds around in every direction, revealing glimpses of the magnificent countryside around every corner.

Winter Hours:
10:30 am – 2 pm, and 4 pm – 6.30 pm
Summer Hours:

Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) - 956 130 011
Monday - Friday: 7:30 am - 3:00 pm

2. The Arab Castle

Olvera Castle- Andalucía - Spain

The Olvera Castle looks just like a castle should, with towers, turrets and built into the highest point of the craggy cliffs overlooking the town below...

It was built at the end of the 12th century and was part of an elaborate communication system of watchtowers and castles that protected the western most part of the Muslim Kingdom. It was in the perfect location between the great strongholds of Seville and Ronda.

You will find the castle entrance just across the plaza from the church, be aware that it is just a small doorway that is easily missed. Before entering, you must first go to the tourist office (in the corner of the church plaza) and pay the entrance fee (2.00 euros). Once inside you can explore the entire castle on your own. The highest point is inside the tower and up a spiral staircase to the rooftop terrace. The views from the top are definitely worth the climb.

3. The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación

Olvera Iglesia Encarnacion- Andalucía - Spain

The Church of the Encarnation looks like something you would see in one of the larger cities like Madrid or Barcelona, not in a little village surrounded by countryside for miles and miles. But here it is... and it's glorious!

It's a neo-classical style church built in 1841 on the site of what was once a gothic style church and before that a mosque.

Olvera has fewer hotels than some of the other "white villages", also check out these towns for more options: Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra & Setenil de las Bodegas

No 31 Bed & Breakfast - No 31 is a Bed & Breakfast located right in the heart of Olvera. Its located just under the cathedral and has beautiful views of the castle at night. Breakfast is included.

Casa Vagón Vía Verde de la Sierra - Very neat hotel that is built into a set of old railway cars along the famous Via Verde hiking and cycling route, about 15 minutes from town.

El Puerto De Los Arbolitos - Located near the castle, this is a local favorite. Vegetarian / vegan options are available.

Taberna Juanito Gomez - Family owned Mediterranean style tapas bar, very popular with the locals. Great prices.

4. Parish Cemetery

Olvera Parish Cemetery - Andalucía - Spain

Protected by the Castle and soaring cliffs above is the Olvera Parish Cemetery. It has been the burial site for residents going back centuries. It's a small site but has breathtaking views of the mountains and village below.

5. La Cilla

Olvera La Cilla - Andalucía - Spain

Back in the day when Olvera was controlled by the Duke of Osuna, La Cilla was used as storage for grains. "La Cilla" actually means grain store. It was also used at one point as a women's prison.

Today La Cilla is the town's museum. It's a collection of small buildings surrounding a small plaza. The tower, which was once a rampart from the castle, is currently being used as an exhibition room.

The local Tourist Office is also part of the La Cilla complex.

BEST Recommended Tours to the "Pueblos Blancos" and Olvera

Traveling to the famous Pueblos Blancos in southern Spain by car is the preferred way to see the area. The landscape surrounding each of the villages is stunning...

If you don't have a car and are interested in seeing a few of these charming villages, you can either rent one or join a tour leaving from Ronda or one of the larger cities like Malaga, Sevilla, or Cadiz.

Ronda Tour - white villages
Pueblos Blancos and Ronda - Travel through the ancient Andalusian kingdoms of Castille and Granada, while enjoying the natural beauty and learning about the region’s history. Visit the white villages, the Grazalema forest and mountains, and the ancient town of Ronda. Tours leave from Malaga, Sevilla, and Cadiz

6. Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) and City Streets

Olvera Streets - Andalucía - Spain

The Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) is just at the bottom of the steps from the Plaza de Iglesia. The original town hall was built in 1783 but was later demolished. The current building was constructed in the 20th century.

From the Town Hall take a walk down the street into town. There are numerous cafes and restaurants along the way.

Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) - 956 130 011
Monday - Friday: 7:30 am - 3:00 pm

7. Peñon del Sagrado Corazon

Olvera Peñon del Sagrado Corazon - Andalucía - Spain

Leaving the "La Villa" area and heading down into town you will find the Peñon del Sagrado Corazon about mid-way down the street on your right.

If you are ready for another climb, start up the stairway on the far end of the Plaza de Andalucía. The Peñon (or rock) is a hanging garden that has been a local gathering spot for centuries. The stairs wind up and around in every direction, covered in ivy and full of lush plants and flowers all the way to the top.

Once you've reached the small terrace at the top, you will find the statue of "The Sacred Heart of Jesus" and beautiful views back towards the church and castle. This is the perfect spot to take a photo of Olvera from a distance.

8. Via Verde de la Sierra

Olvera Via Verde de la Sierra - Andalucía - Spain

If you're up for an adventure, the Via Verde (or green way) is fantastic! It's a 38 km award winning hiking / bicycling route along an old abandoned rail line that once connected Olvera with Puerto Serrano.

Why is it abandoned? In the 1920's General Rivera decided to build a rail line between the towns of Almargen and Jerez de la Frontera, Olvera was supposed to be the main stop in-between. The bridges, viaducts and tunnels were all finished but the rail lines were never completed, the project stalled and remained in a state of disrepair for years.

Today the Via Verde is flourishing and becoming one of the most hiked and cycled routes in Andalucía. Most of the path is flat with visitors going over bridges and through tunnels and stopping at rail-side restaurants along the way. There are even two hotels along the route (one on either end).

You can also stop to see the Peñon de Zaframagon Nature Reserve which is home to Andalucía's largest Griffon (vulture) colony along this portion of the Via Verde.

Casa Vagón Vía Verde de la Sierra - Very neat hotel that is built into a set of old railway cars along the route.

Hotel Estación Vía Verde - A two-star hotel along the via verde route that was converted from an old railway station.

9. Santuario de los Remedios

Olvera Los Remedios - Andalucía - Spain

A pretty little chapel just 2 km outside the town of Olvera that is dedicated to the Virgen of the Remedies. On the second Monday after Easter all the towns people come to the church to give a blessing and have a picnic together under the olive trees.

10. Lavadero de Pino

Olvera Lavadero - Andalucía - Spain

This is a quaint little washing house that has been used by the local women for centuries. They carried their clothes all the way from Olvera (2 km away) and spent the day washing and chatting. At the time the basins were fed by a local spring, but today the lavadero de Pino is no longer in use.

11. The Surrounding Countryside

Olvera Countryside - Andalucía - Spain

Once you've visited the Santuario de los Remedios, head towards the town of Setenil de las Bodegas (another fantastic white village along the route). The surrounding countryside changes yet again and you will find yourself driving lower and lower into a deep ravine.

In Setenil de las Bodegas all the homes are built into caves....

San Agustín - August - A few days of fun with celebrations of all kinds, such as bullfighting, music and dancing. Its origins date back to the year 1710 when King Felipe V granted this celebration in return for the services provided to him by his citizens.

Quasimodo Monday Pilgrimage - Second Monday after Easter - Another very popular pilgrimage during which the towns people meet in the Santuario de los Remedios to give thanks to the virgin. A custom dating from the eighteenth century when the people suffered a severe drought and asked the virgin for rain... rain came... and now they say thank you every year with this procession.

How to Make a DIY Terrarium Using Old Picture Frames

Recycle old wooden picture frames with this budget-friendly (and green!) craft.

Blue, Flower, Petal, Flowerpot, Interior design, Table, Art, Still life photography, Vase, Paint,

Recycle old wooden picture frames with this budget-friendly (and green!) craft from CJ Hughes of

1 of 13
Build This Mini-Greenhouse

Give your ferns, orchids, and other hothouse plants a lovely place to call home with this craft project. Made from picture frames, the glass house does require some work—and at least a few free hours—but the result produces a Victorian-style indoor oasis.

2 of 13
Step 1

Remove the backs and glass from eight frames (four 5" x 7", two 8" x 10", and two 11" x 14"). Lightly sand each frame's surface.

3 of 13
Step 2

Align an 11" x 14" with an 8" x 10" frame as shown. Drill one hole near the top and one near the bottom, through the larger frame and halfway into the smaller; screw together. (The screws you use should correspond with your drill bit. We suggest a 3/32" bit and #6 x ½" wood screws.) Repeat with other 11" x 14" and 8" x 10" frames.

4 of 13
Step 3

Arrange the two L's you've created as shown. Attach them to each other using the same method described in Step 2 to form the terrarium's base.

5 of 13
Step 4

Place two 5" x 7" frames facedown. Align a 2" mending plate at each end of the frames, as shown. Drill pilot holes and secure with screws. Repeat with the two remaining frames.

6 of 13
Step 5

Align the two sets of 5" x 7" frames as shown. Attach a corner bracket inside each end of the eave, using the method described in Step 4.

7 of 13
Step 6

Line the resulting roof up with the base, as shown. Place two 1" utility hinges, spaced evenly apart, over the joint where the pieces meet. Drill holes and screw together.

8 of 13
Step 7

Trace the inside of an eave on paper. Cut out, and trace the resulting triangle onto a piece of ½"-thick plywood. Repeat; then cut the wood.

9 of 13
Step 8

Fit the cut wood into each end of the roof. Attach by predrilling holes from the outside of the roof into the triangles and securing with screws.

10 of 13
Step 9

Wearing gloves for safety, smooth wood filler over the terrarium's exterior, filling in the joints and covering the screw holes. Let dry for several hours; then lightly sand.

11 of 13
Step 10

Paint the piece white. For a distressed finish, apply a dark furniture polish over the paint after it dries. Let sit for a few minutes; then buff off.

12 of 13
Step 11

Replace the glass from the bottom up. Place hot glue in the corners of each frame, pop the pane in, and run glue around each frame's inside edge.

13 of 13
Step 12

Lift the terrarium's lid to fit your favorite plants inside. Set by a sunny window and admire how your mini garden grows.

Emma Swift

Bob Dylan just released his 39th studio album Rough and Rowdy Ways and in case you haven’t heard, it is very, very good. “I Contain Multitudes” was the LP’s second single and remains one of its undeniable highlights. Upon first listen, the song feels very stream of consciousness, with Bob reeling off, well, absolutely everything rumbling in his head about his life from the seemingly trivial (“I eat fast foods”) to the profound (“I sleep with life and death in the same bed”) and listing the sounds, pages, and images that have enveloped and defined it. And yes, the sound you just heard was Bob explaining the meaning of life in under 5 minutes because unlike the rest of us, he can just do that.

Australian singer-songwriter Emma Swift has recorded an album of Dylan covers titled Blonde on the Tracks which is set for release in August. And the first track she opted to release was not a familiar classic but a stunningly warm, heartfelt version of “I Contain Multitudes.” She serves it up as a hypnotic, melodic hymn, very reminiscent in style of vintage Gillian Welch, resulting in something exceptionally beautiful.

Regarding the track, Emma says, “Like many of the great Bob Dylan songs, ‘I Contain Multitudes’ is a magnet, a fly’s eye view of the cultural wilderness in which we wander. It’s magnificent and heartbreaking, a love letter to words and art and music, to all that has been lost and all that might be redeemed. To me this song has become an obsession, a mantra, a prayer. I can’t hope to eclipse it, all I hope to do is allow more people to hear it, to feel comforted by it, and to love it the way I do.”

Blonde On The Tracks will be released on August 14th and you can pre-order now at Bandcamp.

Cover Me is now on Patreon! If you love cover songs, we hope you will consider supporting us there with a small monthly subscription. There are a bunch of exclusive perks only for patrons: playlists, newsletters, downloads, discussions, polls - hell, tell us what song you would like to hear covered and we will make it happen.

About Chennai

Many see Chennai, or Madras, as it was formerly known, as the least “exciting” of the four biggest cities in India. The snarls of traffic and unenviable humidity are often cited as reasons why the city fails to hold appeal. However, what Chennai lacks in beauty, it makes up for in an exceedingly genteel and friendly local population, and an increasingly wide array of contemporary lifestyle options for young professionals looking to settle in the city.

A veritable stronghold of South Indian culture and heritage, this once humble fishing village makes for an interesting contrast, especially when one sees how its urban development has increased rapidly over the years, with a number of luxury hotels, boutiques, restaurants, and bars recently opening for business. The rich South Indian cuisine is one of the city’s highlights, and can be sampled everywhere, from the tiniest hole-in-the-wall local joints, to the upper end eateries in the city’s more affluent suburbs.

As the primary port of destination for the Portuguese and British settlers who came to India, Chennai retains a hint of its colonial past in the narrow, winding streets of its old town, with a myriad of European churches and constructions that remain to this day.

While not often among the top-of-mind options for young professionals looking to start their own ventures in India, Chennai’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is fast gaining traction to compare with the likes of its more developed counterparts. With an extremely strong culture that arises from decades of local business development, and an extensive support network for young entrepreneurs, the city is slowly carving a notch for itself in India’s burgeoning start-up scene.

Melody Congdon

Head of School Dean of Rhetoric School Students

Years at CPLS:  1992-present

Education: B.S., Social Work – Washburn University

Why I Teach at CPLS: I love kids! I was deeply influenced growing up by people who worked with youth at my church as well as at school. I know that I am who I am today because of their influence and guidance. I want to pass that on to others. I want kids to know the joy of the Lord everyday and how blessed we are by His grace and mercy.

Personal Testimony: I was fortunate enough to be raised by two strong Christian parents who devoted themselves to a life in the ministry as well. I came to accept Christ as my Savior at an early age and continued to develop my own spiritual walk with help from some incredible Christian role models along the way. I would say that the most growth in my spiritual life happened after I married. God has never turned his back on me even though I know I have been a disappointment to Him many a time. I am thankful for God’s grace and mercy in my life and for all the great things He has blessed with me, namely my family and working at CPLS.

December 20th

Seasonal greetings, dear reader! It is my pleasure to welcome you to today’s game crit round up, the last of your regularly scheduled program before we close out the year with a series of delicious treats. So have a seat, have a read, and let us celebrate the good times.

It’s This Week In Videogame Blogging!

This One’s For The Players

According to a recent Pew study, nearly half of all American adults play videogames, but only 10 percent consider themselves gamers. Adrienne Shaw expands on the topic by talking about other research, possible explanations, and how gender factors into it all.

Some people suggest that we need everyone who plays games to identify as a gamer. I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I do think it is important that anyone who does feel an investment in that label to feel the right to adopt it […]. But I also think that it is just as important and politically necessary to suggest that you don’t have to be a gamer to care about games.

In other news, Twitter hired a “Director of Gaming Partnerships” this week. Nobody is quite sure what that means, but Maddy Myers provides us with some entertaining speculation.

Meanwhile, Femhype contributor MostlyBiscuit interviewed Kayla Squires, who recently became the first woman to qualify for the Call of Duty World League.

On Unwinnable, our own Riley MacLeod talks about his response to the unreliable narration of Secrets Agent and Dr. Langeskov, and on PopMatters, Jorge Albor talks about his love-hate relationship with Fallout 4.

Should old acquaintance be forgot?

On Gamasutra, Brandon Sheffield brings us the most surprising 90s games, a list chock-full of doozies. While we’re on memory lane, John Romero recently provided us with this video showing the demo for a PC port of Super Mario Bros. 3 that never came to be.

December is the time of retrospectives and the boring canon of normative top ten lists. With that in mind, Kill Screen provides us with a series of more interesting looks at 2015, including Joshua Calixto’s The Year In Feels, Gareth Damian Martin’s The Year In Space, and Josiah Harrist’s The Year In Boardgames.

Brought To Mind

On Femhype, we have this interview with game designer Rachel Pope led by Miss N, and this article about fan-made patches queering up Harvest Moon by Pluto.

In the meantime, Eurogamer provides us with both an exhaustive history of the Kinect by Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, and Keith Stuart’s look at game violence in the context of crime fiction.

Speaking of books, Joel Couture recently reviewed Nick Suttner’s volume on Shadow of the Colossus, and on First Person Scholar, Xi Rao reviewed Brian Upton’s book The Aesthetic of Play.

How The Bratwurst Is Made

On the German side of things, a new issue of the essay magazine WASD (to which I contributed) is available, and some articles have their way to other sites. For instance, Philipp Sickmann’s discussion of Christos Reid’s OCDemons and Roman Lehnhof’s look at the lack of leftist philosophy in games.

On Superlevel, Nina Kiel continues her ongoing discussion of sex in videogames, and Katherina Kavermann looks back at the 1997 game Overblood. Should this sound interesting to you, let it be known that the site has recently launched a Patreon campaign.

It’s The End, My Friends

That’s about it for this week, thank you so much for tuning in! Next week we are going to send off the old year with This Year In Videogame Blogging, and it’s not too late for you to submit articles for our consideration. Just email them to us, same as you would any other week, and use This Year in Videogame Blogging as the subject line.

You also have our traditional end-of-year podcast and our much-coveted Blogger of the Year award to look forward to, and of course there’s also still time to write something for this month’s Blogs of the Round Table, themed around joy.

We are able to bring all these things and many more to you thanks to your generous support on Patreon, but unfortunately our funding has dropped significantly over the last months. If you’d like to help us out, consider pledging to our campaign, if you can. If you prefer, you can also use Recurrency, or make individual donations via Paypal.

It was my spectacular pleasure to welcome you to this last TWIVGB of 2015, and I hope that the coming weeks have nothing but wonder in store for you. See you next year!

Gulf of Aden Security Review

A regularly updated review of both Yemen and the Horn of Africa covering topics related to security, governance, and militant activity.

Yemen: Transitional Political Council holds first meeting in Aden; AQAP militants attack Emirati-backed security forces in Abyan governorate; al Qaeda spokesman emphasizes the importance of jihad in the Arabian Peninsula; reported ISIS militants threaten retribution in Radfan district, Lahij governorate; Saudi-led coalition warplanes target al Houthi-Saleh positions in western Taiz governorate

Horn of Africa: U.S. AFRICOM airstrike targets al Shabaab near Kismayo, Lower Jubba region; al Shabaab militants raid Kenyan police outpost in Pandanguo, Lamu County, Kenya; al Shabaab militants detonate IED targeting SNA convoy in Gofgudud, Bay region; al Shabaab attacks target government officials in Mogadishu; al Shabaab executes two foreign fighters accused of espionage

Yemen Security Brief

The Transitional Political Council for the South held its first session in Aden on July 5. The Emirati-backed council rivals the authority of the internationally-recognized government led by President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The council is planning a demonstration advocating for southern independence on July 7, the anniversary of the south’s failed 1994 war of secession. Council members denounced Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghir as morally bankrupt after he criticized the Transitional Political Council. President Hadi may be forming a Saudi-backed southern council to counter the Emirati-backed Transitional Political Council, according to unconfirmed reports. President Hadi dismissed three southern governors affiliated with the Transitional Political Council on June 28.[1]

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants attacked Emirati-backed al Hizam security forces in Shaqra town, Abyan governorate, southern Yemen on July 5. AQAP released a video on July 3 showing a night raid on an al Hizam security forces checkpoint in Shaqra, southern Abyan governorate that occurred on May 3. The video depicted speeches from militants, a planning session, and a voiceover accusing the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel of waging a war against Islam. AQAP militants temporarily seized Shaqra on May 3 but forces under the command of the Abyan governor retook the town, according to a local security official. AQAP is developing its relationship to local tribes in Shaqra, a strategic crossroads in southern Abyan.[2]

Al Qaeda shari’a scholar and senior leader in Syria Sami al Oraidi released a new statement titled “Jihad of the Nation and Groups of the Nation” on July 2. Oraidi underscored the global importance of the local Yemeni conflict by emphasizing the requirement to expel the Americans from the Arabian Peninsula. He also urged his followers to avoid becoming lost in local conflicts. [3]

Reported Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) militants hung leaflets and posters threatening retribution against Emirati-backed al Hizam security forces in Radfan district, northeastern Lahij governorate on July 5. Yemeni security forces killed a suspected AQAP militant in a mosque in Radfan district on June 23. The local commander of the al Hizam security forces called on security personnel and civilians to remain vigilant against terrorist and criminal activities.[4]

Saudi-led coalition warplanes targeted al Houthi-Saleh positions in western Taiz governorate on July 4. Coalition strikes killed ten al Houthi-Saleh fighters in Mawza’ and Maqbanah districts. Coalition airstrikes killed 15 al Houthi-Saleh fighters in Mawza’ district on June 29. Coalition airstrikes also killed eight civilians north of Mokha city in al Houthi-Saleh territory on July 4. Coalition airstrikes in western Taiz governorate are intended to support Hadi government-aligned forces conducting an offensive to advance toward al Hudaydah port.[5]

Horn of Africa Security Brief

U.S. AFRICOM conducted an airstrike targeting an al Shabaab “troop concentration” near Kismayo, Lower Jubba region, southern Somalia on July 4. AFRICOM utilized “actionable intelligence” to “engage in collective self-defense” of its Somali partners. AFRICOM conducted the airstrike in response to an al Shabaab raid targeting a Somali National Army (SNA) base north of Kismayo, according to a local report.  This marks the second AFRICOM airstrike targeting al Shabaab in Somalia this week. AFRICOM conducted an airstrike targeting al Shabaab militants, possibly including al Shabaab intelligence chief Ibrahim Haji Daud, in Kunya Barrow town, Lower Shabelle region on July 2.[6]

Al Shabaab raided a Kenyan police outpost in Pandanguo, Lamu county, eastern Kenya on July 5. Militants destroyed a telecommunication mast during the clashes in an attempt to hinder security forces’ response to the attack. Nearly 200 al Shabaab militants clashed with Kenyan forces for nearly ten hours. Al Shabaab killed two police officers and wounded six others. Seven officers are reported missing after the raid. Al Shabaab claimed it killed “scores” of Kenyan police and military forces in the attack.[7]

Al Shabaab militants detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) targeting a SNA convoy in Gofgudud, Bay region, southern Somalia on July 5. The attack killed five SNA troops and wounded several others.[8]

Al Shabaab conducted several attacks in Mogadishu, Somalia on July 4 and 5. Al Shabaab militants detonated an IED targeting a Somali immigration officer in Waberi district, Mogadishu on July 5. Al Shabaab also claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the Ministry of Defense headquarters in Mogadishu on July 5. Militants fired rocket propelled grenades (RPG) targeting the headquarters before gunmen attacked the compound. Al Shabaab militants also fired mortars targeting Villa Somalia in Mogadishu, Somalia on July 4. The attack wounded four SNA soldiers. Al Shabaab also detonated a “sticky bomb” targeting Abdul Razaq Bahlawi, the Former Director of the Ministry of Intelligence, in Mogadishu on July 4. The group claimed to wound Bahlawi in the attack.[9]

Yemen Security Brief

A reported U.S. airstrike killed two al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants, including local commander Ibrahim al Adani, in Abyan governorate, southern Yemen on July 1. The militants were traveling by motorcycle in Wadi al Milh village, northern al Wuday district at the time of the strike. Suspected American warplanes dropped leaflets requesting information on AQAP leadership in Ataq city, Shabwah governorate on June 30. The leaflets offer a reward of $20,000 for information on AQAP emir Qasim al Raymi, head bombmaker Ibrahim Asiri, spokesperson Khaled al Batarfi, and Shabwah emir Sa’ad Atef al Awlaki. A U.S. airstrike killed Abu Khattab Saleh Baleed al Awlaki, a close companion of Sa’ad Atef, in Shabwah governorate on June 16.[1]

AQAP released a video depicting attacks on al Houthi-Saleh forces in al Bayda governorate, central Yemen on July 2. The video featured footage of attacks in al Jamajim on June 12 and 20, al ‘Aqla on May 14, al Hasir on April 27, al Zahir on April 28, al Sawma’ah on April 20, and al Tayab on April 28. AQAP released most of this footage in earlier propaganda pieces. The video also features speeches from AQAP spokesmen Khaled Batarfi and Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi. They emphasized the sectarian nature of the Yemeni conflict and accused the U.S. of helping the Iranian-backed al Houthis to wage war on Yemen’s Sunni population.[2]

AQAP militants threw three hand grenades targeting al Houthi-Saleh fighters near Damt city in al Dhaleh governorate, central Yemen on July 3. AQAP militants conducted a grenade attack on al Houthi-Saleh forces in Damt on May 14. AQAP militants also ambushed al Houthi-Saleh forces in Dhi Na’im, central al Bayda governorate on July 3.[3]

Members of the Transitional Political Council for the South are preparing for an organized protest in Aden city on July 7. This date commemorates the end of Yemen’s 1994 civil war, in which southern governorates tried and failed to secede from the Republic of Yemen led by former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh. The protest will advocate for southern independence and condemn Yemeni President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s dismissal of three governors connected to the Council on June 28. Al Zubaidi, Vice President Hani Ali bin Brik, council member and journalist Lufi Shatara, and Deputy Governor of Aden Adnan al Kaf arrived in Aden city from the UAE on July 3.[4]

The World Health Organization (WHO) delivered 400 tons of humanitarian and medical supplies to al Hudaydah port, western Yemen on July 2. The Saudi-led coalition has limited humanitarian access to the port, which is administered by the al Houthi-Saleh faction, for over a year. The shipment includes ambulances and supplies to combat cholera. The WHO reported 252,816 suspected cholera cases and 1,560 associated deaths in 21 Yemeni governorates since late April. Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghir allocated approximately $1.6 million on July 1 for cholera treatment in southern governorates. Taiz city’s largest government hospital reopened several departments on July 3 with support from Doctors Without Borders.[5]

The Saudi-led coalition conducted several airstrikes on al Houthi-Saleh military and infrastructure targets. Seven coalition airstrikes struck al Houthi-Saleh positions and weapons stores in southern Sana’a city on July 3. Coalition airstrikes killed 12 al Houthi-Saleh fighters in al Matan district, al Jawf governorate, northern Yemen on July 2. The Saudi-led coalition also launched three airstrikes targeting water storage tanks and a desalination station on Kamaran island, al Hudaydah governorate.[6]

Al Houthi-Saleh forces killed a Saudi-led coalition soldier on Saudi Arabia’s southern border with Yemen on July 2. The governor of Tabuk governorate, northwest Saudi Arabia offered condolences to the family of the soldier, Mohammed Saud Faraj al Balawi. His death marks 24 Saudi-led coalition deaths in border clashes since May 10, 2017.[7]

Horn of Africa Security Brief

A reported U.S. airstrike targeted al Shabaab militants in Kunya Barrow, Lower Shabelle region, southern Somalia on July 2. The U.S. has not yet confirmed the strike. This strike, if confirmed, marks the second U.S. airstrike targeting al Shabaab since U.S. President Donald Trump designated parts of Somalia as an area of active hostilities. A U.S. airstrike struck an al Shabaab “command and logistics node” in Sakow, Middle Jubba region on June 11.[8]

Al Shabaab militants ambushed Somali National Army (SNA) and Ethiopian African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troops in southern Somalia on July 2. The SNA and AMISOM forces conducting an improvised explosive device (IED)-clearing operation between Garbaharey town and Birta Dher, Gedo region. SNA commanders claimed security forces killed fourteen al Shabaab militants in the clashes.[9]

Al Shabaab militants conducted several attacks in Mogadishu on July 1-2. An al Shabaab militant threw a grenade at Mogadishu Stabilization Force officers in Bakara Market, Mogadishu, Somalia on July 2, killing two civilians and wounding four others. Al Shabaab detonated a car bomb targeting a businessman at al Bakara Junction in Mogadishu, Somalia on July 2. Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the assassination of a SNA soldier in Haru district, Mogadishu on July 1. Al Shabaab also detonated an IED targeting a minibus on the outskirts of Mogadishu on July 2, killing two civilians and wounding six others.[10]

Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for an attack targeting AMISOM forces in Qoryooley, Lower Shabelle region on July 2. Al Shabaab also claimed to kill three Kenyan AMISOM soldiers in Tabtu town, Lower Jubba region, southern Somalia on July 2.[11]

Al Shabaab militants assassinated three Puntland security officers in Galkayo, Mudug region, central Somalia from June 30 to July 1. Local sources reported four assassinations in Galkayo in a 24-hour period. Galkayo police warned of impending al Shabaab attacks on June 22, one day after rival administrations signed a peace agreement in the city.[12]

Wednesday, July 10th

1. Barbell cycling to start the day including push jerks, and deadlifts.

2. Conditioning to close, with an all bodyweight modified version of "Annie".

All with a running clock: :30s On, :30s Off - Deadlifts :30s On, :30s Off - Push Jerks

:45s On, :45s Off - Deadlifts :45s On, :45s Off - Push Jerks

1:00 On, 1:00 Off - Deadlifts 1:00 On, 1:00 Off - Push Jerks

:45s On, :45s Off - Deadlifts :45s On, :45s Off - Push Jerks

:30s On, :30s Off - Deadlifts :30s On - Push Jerks

*Score is total push jerks + deadlifts.

Rx Male - 135-155-185-155-135 Rx Female - 95-105-125-105-95

Weights change after each grouping, climbing from "light-moderate-heavy-moderate-light.

Stimulus wise, we are looking for the following criteria on the three loadings:

Lightest - One we could cycle for 21+ reps unbroken, when fresh. Middle - One we could cycle for 14+ reps unbroken, when fresh. Heaviest - One we could cycle for 7+ reps unbroken, when fresh.

This is a running clock effort, which will last 13:30 in total.

Moving from :30s, to :45, to 1:00, and back through :45 and :30, we are changing weights after completing the time frame on both movements (deadlifts and push jerks). Athletes are free to have a single bar and change weights, or set up three different bars.

For Time: 50/35 Calorie Bike

… Directly into:

100-80-60-40-20 - Double-Unders (2:1 singles) 50-40-30-20-10 - AbMat Sit-Ups

… Directly into:

50/35 Calorie Bike

**If bikes are unavailable, Row 65/50 Calories.

An all-body weight conditioning finish to our day. A scaled up version of the CrossFit.com benchmark "Annie", we are doubling the jump rope reps and adding a bike before and after the descending ladder.

Pacing wise, we naturally need to pace that first bike, relative to our double-under capacity. If we push too hard here, and struggle on the jump rope (the only set of 100), all time that we gained can be quickly erased. Knowing that we can regulate our breathing on the abmat sit-ups, we can push our pace early on, but we just can't cause excessive DU trips. That's where time disappears.

On the final bike, the longer distance can be a mental challenge. Break it up into small sections. The first fifth, let it be our slowest pace. The next fifth, let's aim to move 3% faster. Repeat each time we clear that next fifth, until we are finishing with our fastest pace.

< Teenage Angst Has Paid Off Poorly
Para-elemental >

[Comments] (1) Passport to Pimlico: The original P2P troublemaker. This was a great movie that kind of copped out at the end. I don't remember how "The Napoleon of Notting Hill" ended, which is good because that means it's time to read it again, but it probably wasn't with an "everyone just needs to pitch in" message.

Oh, that reminds me that the TV Tropes wiki has grown a lot since I looked at it last, possibly because Wikipedia's banished trivia sections are moving there. It's now a pretty useful random-browsing dictionary of craft. Which in turn reminds me of a piece of implicit feedback from the writer's group. I'm not good enough at fiction writing yet to pull off cliche parodies; they read like the actual cliches. I actually learned this with "Mallory" but I keep thinking this story's the one where I can push the envelope.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Season 2 to Premiere in January 2022

A new trailer, key visual, director, and studio revealed for the light novel adaptation

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest

It's time to be summoned back into the world of Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest, as the second season of the isekai anime series will be returning to Japanese screens in January 2022. To celebrate the news, a new trailer was released alongside a key visual, as well as an update on who will be directing the series and its anime studio.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest

Taking over the director's chair is Akira Iwanaga (Tegami Bachi Letter Bee) at both asread and Studio Mother. Asread and WHITE FOX produced the first season of the series, with Studio Mother taking over WHITE FOX's role for the second. The rest of the lead staff and cast return from the first season.

The Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest light novels are written by Ryo Shirakome and illustrated by Takayaki and published in Japan by Overlap Bunko. An English version of the series is available from J-Novel Club via digital distribution, with 11 volumes available, and in-print via Seven Seas Entertainment, which describes the story as follows:

Seventeen year old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill. Ridiculed and bullied by his classmates for being weak, he soon finds himself in despair. Will he be able to survive in this dangerous world of monsters and demons with only a glorified blacksmith's level of strength?

The first season of Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest aired from July 8, 2019, to October 7, 2019, with two OVA's released in December 2019 and February 2020. Funimation streamed the series. The second season is scheduled for January 2022.

Requirements/Minimum Qualifications for Application - Due May 1

  • Current full-time CSB/SJU students may apply for acceptance to the Nursing major by May 1 of each year by completing the Application to the Nursing Major Form
  • Applicants must meet the minimum prerequisite course GPA requirement of 2.75 and complete all prerequisite courses with a grade of C or higher in each course.
  • Prerequisite courses include: Biology 101, Biology 212, Psychology 111, Chemistry 125, and Nutrition 125.

Academic Planner - Integrations Curriculum beginning Fall 2020 (nursing major four-year plan)

Course Descriptions for the required courses of the nursing major.

Policy on Late and Incomplete Submission of Applications:

Incomplete or late applications will be considered last after all other timely and qualified applications have been accepted, and only on a space available basis. Applicants not accepted may reapply the following year.

Acceptance Process

The Nursing Department will only accept qualified applicants up to 72 students. The Nursing Faculty retain the right to make the final decision regarding student admission to the nursing major.

Acceptance is based on timely submission of the Application to the Nursing Major Form, completion of nursing major requirements (see below) and rankings of prerequisite GPA in the following priority order:

  1. Qualified CSB/SJU Early Admission Program (EAP) students
  2. Qualified CSB/SJU ROTC students
  3. Qualified other CSB/SJU students
  4. Qualified Transfer students
  5. Late (after May 1 deadline) qualified applicants

If there is a tie in the nursing prerequisite GPA, then the College Cumulative GPA will be used to break the tie.

Acceptance into the Nursing Major

  1. Acceptance into the nursing major is contingent upon successful completion of all nursing prerequisite courses and the nursing major requirements listed below.
  2. Nursing students are required to achieve a minimum grade of "C" in each prerequisite and NRSG-designated course. Students are required to achieve a "D" or above in corequisite courses.
  3. Students may not enroll in sequential NRSG-designated courses until a passing grade of "C" is achieved in each prior NRSG-designated course.
  4. Repeating and withdrawing from courses

a. Prerequisite, corequisite, and NRSG-designated courses may be repeated one time (Exception: If the same grade or a lower grade is obtained when a course is taken again, it will not be counted as a repeat course; it is only counted as a repeat course if a higher grade is achieved).
b. If a student repeats a prerequisite, corequisite or NRSG-designated course, the higher grade is used to calculate the nursing GPA.
c. A prerequisite, corequisite, or NRSG designated course may only be taken two times, regardless of the resulting grade.
d. A student is limited to no more than two course withdrawals (as noted with a W on the transcript) or retakes (or combination thereof) in prerequisite, corequisite, or NRSG-designated courses.
e. If a student takes a prerequisite course while in high school and takes the equivalent prerequisite course after high school, this will not be counted as a course repeat (or withdrawal if the course is not completed). If a course is taken more than once after high school graduation, it will be considered a course repeat (or withdrawal if the course is not completed).
f. Corequisite courses that need to be repeated must be repeated within two semesters.

5. For purposes of calculating the GPA for admission consideration into the nursing major, a prerequisite course that is transferred into CSB/SJU will only be counted for the exact number of credits from the transfer course, not to exceed the number of credits from the equivalent prerequisite course at CSB/SJU. For additional details, refer to the Transfer Credits web page.

Applications to the major are reviewed annually in May. In order to be considered for acceptance into the nursing major, transcripts of prerequisite courses must be available to the Nursing Department by June 1. An incomplete grade in a prerequisite course after June 1 will result in ineligibility for acceptance into the nursing major. Students will be notified of acceptance decisions via campus email accounts in early June. Academic Advising will assist those students not accepted to the major with any necessary registration changes for fall semester.
