Our natural instinct is to shield our children when we hear bad news. Sometimes, however, shielding our children means talking to them about some very messy topics, to equip them to handle the situation best.
For 15 years, Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe has been picking up the broken pieces of girls' lives and putting them back together. She's helped thousands of girls in Uganda — now she's helping girls fleeing civil war in South Sudan.
The World’s Richard Hall is reporting aboard Save the Children's rescue ship in the Mediterranean. On Tuesday, they saved 631 people — a record for the group's sea rescue operations. Doctors Without Borders rescued another 1,004 people on the same day.
More than 62 percent of South Sudanese refugees arriving in Uganda this year are children, UN officials report. And in a worrying trend, aid workers say a growing number of these kids are coming alone.
Iceland made history this week, but not in a good way. For the first time since the nation became an independent republic, armed police shot and killed a man, startling a population accustomed to peace.
Purvi Patel is the second pregnant woman in Indiana to be charged under the state's law against "feticide," a law originally passed to protect pregnant women from harm. Patel was sentenced Monday to face up to 20 years in prison, in a case has alarmed advocates for women and immigrants.
Memory can be slippery, especially when there's incentive to forget, or misremember. In the Polish village of Jedwabne, residents long said Nazis were responsible for the massacre, one hot day in July 1941, of hundreds of Jews in the village. Then evidence emerged that the villagers of Jedwabne had killed their own neighbors.
The US has approved the biggest arms deal in history: a $38 billion agreement to supply Israel with jets, bombs, missiles and military support for the next 10 years. And now that the paper is signed, look for arms deals with Israel's Arab neighbors to proceed.
Even at 101, Yevnige Salibian remembers clearly the shouts and separation of Armenians in what was the first genocide of the 20th century. For her and much of L.A.'s Armenian community, the largest in the United States, a traumatic past is not even past.
In 1944 Henryk Ross buried his negatives. He was the official photographer of the Lodz ghetto in Poland. The ghetto was being liquidated, and Ross was unsure if he would survive to retrieve his work. He did.

Adriatic coast descends…dry
rocky hills – small town gem,
La Madonna delle Grazie.
Tucked in San Giovanni Rotondo
treasures hidden, secrets kept
Son of Italy, son of St. Francis
consolation, hope to pilgrims brought.
Gargano’s silence no longer felt –
news spreads – signs…works…
Belief – devotion – prayer,
life of a boy united with Christ
Satan rejected, holiness embraced.
Friar’s flesh reveals Divine love.
Sacred Heart he probed
in his Capuchin robes, confessional still stands
by humble sinners visited – waiting…
touch of sanctity – peace restored.
On this day Pope John Paul II proclaims:
modern mystic, wounded he suffered
to bring Redeemer’s love:
Saint of all people, Padre Pio

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. (AP) -- Actor John Travolta plans to donate a jet plane to a museum in central Georgia.
Robins Air Force Base spokeswoman Chrissy Miner says the actor will donate a G-2 Gulfstream executive jet to the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins.
Museum officials say Travolta, who is a pilot, is donating the plane in honor of his son Jett, who died in 2009.
Miner tells the Telegraph newspaper in Macon that the plane is now in central Georgia. Plans call for the jet to be used as a display for an upcoming air show planned for April.

AKG C214 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - The AKG C 214 is the younger brother of AKG's legendary C 414 condenser - the mic you've heard on thousands of hit records, on stage with countless artists, and on air from leading broadcast facilities all over the world. The affordable C 214 actually uses the same one-inch dual-capsule as the C 414 in a single-diaphgram, cardioid-only design. The result? Highly-detailed, up-front sound on both voices and instruments with an overall performance close to that of the famous C 414 B-XLS. Now you can get that epic AKG sound on any budget with the new C 214!
Incredible Dynamic Range
The AKG C 214 delivers AKG's classic large-diaphragm sound - and it's also capable of an impressive 143dB dynamic range for uncompressed, natural transients.
Use it on a Variety of Sources
If you want a premium vocal mic, you've found it with the AKG C 214. And, while it's well worth the investment for that quality alone, you'll find that the C 214 performs just as well on a variety instruments. Thanks to its switchable 20dB attenuation pad and low cut filter, the C 214 can be used in sound fields as high as 156dB SPL - you can use it on stage for close miking loud applications such as drum overheads, guitar amps, or high-output brass. Whatever your needs, the C 214 is an excellent mic to have on your side.
Quality AKG Construction
Built in Vienna, Austria, AKG mics are engineered from the ground up to truly perform. The C 214 features an integrated capsule suspension that reduces mechanical noise and resonances for even greater sonic accuracy. Plus, the double mesh, all-metal grille protects the capsule and ensures high RF immunity without affecting the mic's acoustical performance. This is one roadworthy mic, too - the C 214 features a modern scratch-resistant finish, dent-resistant metal grille, and gold-plated XLR output.

|Frequency range||20 to 20,000 Hz|
|Sensitivity||20 mV/Pa (-34 dBV)|

Microsoft producing 3 million Surface tablets for this year
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
Considering that Microsoft’s Windows 8 RT operating system ( designed for tablets, touch devices, ARM based devices and so on) will launch on October 26th, and that the Microsoft Surface tablet will also launch on October the 26th, it is very surprising to know Microsoft has plans to produce (and hopefully sell) 3 million of them.
According to IDC research, Microsoft is planning the production of at least 3 million Surface tablets for the year 2012. Quite adventurous figures for even the most optimistic Microsoft fanboy. Given the state of the non-Apple tablet market, i’d be very surprised if Microsoft’s Surface was a smash hit – especially since retail availability of the Surface probably won’t come until November. Although, innovation from Google and ASUS with the Nexus 7 proves non-Apple tablets can be a hit.
IDC research quelled speculation that the Surface would be sold for $199, stating that a more realistic price was $599. It stated $199 was possible, but these devices would be tied into expensive contracts with network carriers.
Do you think the Microsoft Surface has what it takes to shift 3 million in around 2 months, especially when its price is dangerously close to an iPad? Will you be buying one? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Broncos among teams bracing for offseason holdouts
Now that tenders to restricted free agents are coming in, expect many of these restricted free agents to hold out from offseason workouts.
Most notably, fourth- and fifth-year players are not happy. Ordinarily, they would potentially would be enjoying the riches of unrestricted free-agent opportunity. But because owners re-opened the collective bargaining agreement, which means “uncapped” rules apply, those fourth- and fifth-year players have lost much of their freedom, as the term “restricted” free agent implies.
Take the case of Elvis Dumervil. he received the highest possible restricted free agent tender, which would pay him a $3.168 million salary for 2010. Which is fine except last summer, Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs received a six-year, $62.5 million contract with a $38.1 million guarantee.
Dumervil had 17 sacks last year to Suggs’ 4 1/2. Suddenly, $3.168 million doesn’t look so hot to Dumervil.
None of the Broncos’ five restricted free agents are expected to sign their tenders any time soon.

Our Market View – June 2020
After the rollercoaster we saw in the markets in March and April, May was almost dull. Equity markets seem to have settled into trading ranges, albeit still volatile, moving up and down with newsflow but reflecting the ebb and flow of positive and negative economic and corporate news as the fight against the coronavirus continues.
In the UK, the focus in the run-up to the VE day bank holiday was firmly on the final Sunday, and a much-touted Prime Ministerial broadcast that parts of the media suggested would be a material loosening of the lockdown. In the event, the changes were relatively small but have since been eased further. The quarantine announcement was viewed negatively by the airports and airlines, but may yet change, given there seems little scientific reason why an arrival from Germany needs to quarantine for two weeks, but someone arriving from France or Ireland need not. Coming out of lockdown has to be a gradual affair and the extension of the furlough period to October will provide UK businesses with flexibility to bring employees back as restrictions allow.
UK GDP for the first quarter was predictably awful. March alone saw the economy shrink by 6%, and we expect the second quarter to be substantially worse. But to be frank, these numbers, while driving a certain amount of short-term activity, are of relatively little importance in the long run. We always knew that these would be bad, and in some respects it didn’t matter whether the economy shrank by 5%, 6% or 7% in March. The recovery from these blows is what matters. In this sense we are looking at how fast can the economy start moving again – not the absolute number, but the relative rate of change to give us a sense how long will it take for the economy to normalise. Whilst this will be hard to predict right across the global economy, in the UK we have the added complication of a post-Brexit trade deal to be resolved by the end of the year. Boris is going to be very busy and volatility is likely to remain high as new “cliff edges” need to be assessed.
However, even though the outlook for markets remains uncertain in the short term, our advice remains the same, which is to stay invested in well-diversified portfolios and focus on medium to longer term time horizons. Also, try to avoid making withdrawals from your pension and investment funds during these times unless absolutely necessary.

Combined steam pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of starch-free wheat fibers

Steam treatment of an industrial process stream, denoted starch-free wheat fiber, was investigated to improve the formation of monomeric sugars in subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis for further bioconversion into ethanol. The solid fraction in the process stream, derived from a combined starch and ethanol factory, was rich in arabinose (21.1%), xylose (30.1%), and glucose (18.6%), in the form of polysaccharides. Various conditions of steam pretreatment (170–220°C for 5–30 min) were evaluated, and their effect was assessed by enzymatic hydrolysis with 2 g of Celluclast + Ultraflo mixture/ 100 g of starch-free fiber (SFF) slurry at 5% dry matter (DM). The highest overall sugar yield for the combined steam pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, 52g/100 g of DM of SFF, corresponding to 74% of the theoretical, was achieved with pretreatment at 190°C for 10 min followed by enzymatic hydrolysis.

January. JANUARY. A month of new gym memberships and weather patterns in the South where it can be 60F on Wednesday and 20F on Thursday because we don’t understand how Winter works!
I am typically very fond of New Year’s Resolutions but I’m giving them a bit of a miss for 2015. Instead of making myself some semi-achievable goals I did the following:
1. Got a big ol’ calendar (like this one but cooler looking) that shows the whole year at once. It’s nice because it helps you see your time better when you can see the next month and realize “Oh, I don’t have March plus whatever infinite time lays beyond it, I’ve got three and a half weeks” when planning things out.
2. I’ve adopted Victoria Schwab’s calendar method for checking off daily achievements and keeping track of what I’ve done and when I’ve done it.
3. I cleaned out my closets which, uh, doesn’t really have a lot to do with writing? But it was fun and it felt good?
And most importantly, I’m reading and writing and at the moment I’m reading about writing. That is the worst possible segue I could manged to move into a review of 500 Ways to Write Harder by Chuck Wendig.
First things first: if you’re not reading Chuck Wendig’s blog YOU REALLY SHOULD. IT’S THE BEST. Okay, yeah, I mean some other blogs have their insight into the craft of writing and offer wise advice that can be applied to life at large but do they swear in their posts? Do they invoke such imagery as the following thoughts on the new year:
The ideal state would be that we change when we need to, not when the calendar suggests it, but let’s also remember that the holidays and the transition from one year to another are vital times to reflect. We build up to the orgiastic rush to Christmas, and then are left with a startling, almost shocking void — all that’s left is cleaning up the wrapping paper and throwing the Christmas Hobo on the bonfire. Ha ha ha, I didn’t say Christmas Hobo, you said Christmas Hobo. I said tree. Christmas tree.
Well, I think he’s funny.
Anyways, on to 500 Ways to Write Harder. All of the advice and self-help books that I’ve read have a feel to them. Some make me feel like I’m sitting at a desk in a lecture hall, worksheets spread out before me. On Writing by Stephen King feels like a long walk down an Autumnal, leaf-littered nature trail while King quietly relates the stories of his life and the wisdom garnered throughout his career. Wendig’s Writer Harder is a night at the bar spent playing poor and heckling the karaoke singers and a friend turning to you and, with a sloshing gesture of their drink, saying “Let me tell you a thing.”
500 Ways to Write Harder is broken into collections of 25-ish points about subjects such as Bad Writer Behaviors, Things to do Before You Start Your Novel, 25 Steps to Edit the Unmerciful Suck Out of Your Story, 25 Ways to be a Happy Writer, and 25 Ways to Get Your Authorial Groove back among many others. This format works out because you can read it section by section intermittently or, if you want a refresher, go back to a specific area and re-read with ease.
Just as there is no single way to approach writing a story, Wendig offers occasionally opposing pieces of advice to let you find your own path. He also advocates that all writers need to care for their mental health which I super-appreciate because I loath the romanticized notion of artists being inherently broken.
[ASIDE: If you feel that you are suffering from anxiety, depression, whatever, please seek help. Treatment will not steal your muse or wreck-up your creative nature. Athletes aren’t expected to “suffer for their craft” by running on broken ankles; artists don’t need to endure mental torment to do their artist thing.]
500 Ways to Write Harder is sharp and wickedly funny. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself laughing at Wendig’s advice as much as I was silently nodding along at all the sage wisdom he was dishing out. Here’s one of my favorite excerpts:
Seek consistency and clarity in point-of-view, lest you confound and bewilder, lest you seem like the king of amateur-hour karaoke. Hell, seek consistency and clarity in all of your writing. Also, in your take-out orders. because you think you ordered a “ham and cheese sandwich” but then you open the bag and suddenly your face is on fire from a thousand stingers and you’re like OMG THEY MUST’VE THOUGHT I SAID HAM AND BEES.
Like I said, sage wisdom.
The advice is advisory, the humor is humorous, and he make two Avatar: the Last Airbender references which makes Wendig one of my new best friends. Get the book, read the book, then get back to writing.
RECOMMENDED FOR SURE.

An Interpol red notice is issued to inform member countries that the person is wanted due to arrest warrants or judicial orders issued by the court of law of a country.
Responding to a query by the chief justice, the attorney general said that the option of canceling the passport of Ishaq Dar was also discussed but it was rejected as revoking the travel document may provide a reason to the absconder for not returning to Pakistan.
Later, the SC adjourned the hearing for two weeks.
The former minister has been staying in London since October 2017 on account of his medical treatment; he has also been declared a proclaimed offender in a corruption case filed against him by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

FORTUNE — Jon Corzine is “weighing whether to start a hedge fund,” according to a NY Times article that also says the former MF Global boss is unlikely to face criminal charges for his role in the brokerage firm’s collapse. Somewhere, the ghost of P.T. Barnum must be smiling.
Seriously, how could anyone trust this guy with their money? Unless someone has discovered a way to tag cash with GPS locators, it seems incomprehensible. In fact, the only target market I see is plaintiff lawyers whose seed capital might persuade
future clients other accredited investors to pony up.
While we wait for this bad idea to pass us by, some thoughts for the new fund name.

EPA and Army Corps Create Firestorm with “Waters of the U.S.” Regulation
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Posted by: Gregg Robertson
WASHINGTON, DC - In a proposed regulation issued April 21,
2014, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) are attempting to define what waterways are covered under
the federal Clean Water Act. The public has ninety days to comment on the regulation.
At stake, according to some, is your ability to use your
land without significant interference from EPA and the Army Corps.
Two recent Supreme Court decisions have created some
confusion as to the limits of EPA’s and the Corps’ jurisdiction. This proposed regulation
is attempting to clarify the limits of federal jurisdiction over what is
referred to as “Waters of the U.S.”.
Some believe that the new regulation would significantly
expand the jurisdiction of EPA and the Army Corps. The American Farm Bureau,
for example, opposes the new rule, believing that it would significantly
expands the reach of EPA and the Corps in regulating normal farming practices,
such as applying pesticides and fertilizers. The Farm Bureau believes that a
ditch filled with water or a low wet area of a field could be subject to the
same rules and permitting requirements that now control pollution discharges
into major rivers and streams.
On the other hand, EPA and the Corps say that nothing will change
for farmers under the new rule.
Who is right?
Well, it depends on where you live. Federal and state laws regulating
water pollution are complex and intertwined. Some states have more stringent
laws than the federal Clean Water Act governing water pollution, others do not.
The federal law is supposed to be the floor for setting water pollution
standards. Some states see it as a ceiling and have passed laws to that end.
Pennsylvania has had one of the most stringent laws
governing water pollution in the country, known as the Clean Streams Act of
1936. In Pennsylvania, water resources are seen as the common property of all
the state’s residents. They cannot be owned by any one person.
In Pennsylvania, rain falling in a roadside ditch is
considered to be “waters of the Commonwealth” and is subject to state regulation
and control. The notion is that all water is connected in one hydrologic system.
Pollution in a ditch will eventually make it to ground water or a stream, then
a river. The rule that EPA and the Army Corps are proposing is taking a similar
approach to defining “waters of the U.S.”.
States that have less stringent laws governing water pollution
than Pennsylvania may see some significant changes in how EPA and the Army
Corps approach water pollution regulation in their states.
Pennsylvania has been living under a system similar to that the
feds are proposing for some 78 years and so will most likely see little change
in how water pollution is regulated if the proposed rule becomes final.

Severe depression is an illness that is never to be taken lightly. It’s sad that it takes the death of someone like Robin Williams that took his own life, to brings this topic to the forefront. As an attorney, I represent the mentally ill as well as family members of those that have loved ones with a mental illness. It’s easy for those who have not suffered from themselves or had a loved one with a mental illness to say that it’s not a big deal. For someone suffering from severe depression, sometimes they think that taking their own life is there only way out of the illness.
If you have a loved that is suffering from a mental illness, there are resources available to you. We encourage you to take a look at our article, What to do When a Loved One Suffers from a Mental Illness.

Cannes 2023: Sanlorenzo unveils net-zero target, premieres new models
Sanlorenzo’s CEO, Massimo Perotti, has outlined the Italian boatbuilder’s plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, a part of a wide-ranging presentation at the group’s annual press conference on the first day of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023.
The shipyard also premiered two new models: the Sanlorenzo SX100 and the Bluegame BGM75.
Perotti opened by commenting on the group’s financial results for the first half of 2023: having closed with revenues from the sale of new yachts amounting to €388.4m, up 12.6 per cent compared to the first half of 2022, the group now boasts a gross operating margin (Ebitda) of €67.7m (+20.3 per cent) and a net profit of €39m (+20.3 per cent).
“I am incredibly proud to present excellent results, achieved thanks to the commitment and passion of all the teams that constitute Sanlorenzo, to whom I would like to extend my special thanks,” Perotti told gathered media. “We are revising upwards the guidance on the results expected for the current year, on the strength of a very satisfying first half of the year and a massive order backlog, on 30 June exceeding €1.4bn, but above all of high quality, because 90 per cent of it is guaranteed by contracts signed with end clients.
Perotti added: “This performance is the result of our business model, which has proven to be absolutely reliable over the years, and which provides us with reassurance for the years to come, along the path that will see us pioneer the sector towards carbon neutrality, a central priority in our route to 2030.”
Sanlorenzo has poured resources into its research and development department in pursuit of developing technology that will help to mitigate some of the most damaging environmental impacts of yachting.
Perotti reiterated the shipyard has signed several strategic cooperation agreements with the world’s leading energy and E-fuel players, including an exclusive agreement signed in 2021 with Siemens Energy for the integration of a fuel cell system capable of transforming green methanol into hydrogen and subsequently into energy.
This innovative solution will debut on the new 50Steel line, a superyacht whose first unit will be delivered in the summer of 2024, Perotti confirmed.
The methanol fuel cell system on the 50Steel will allow the vessel to generate electricity for the ‘hotel load’, with engines and generators switched off, significantly extending the time spent at anchor and manoeuvring without consuming diesel fuel.
One innovation developed for this superyacht is the HER (Hidden Engine Room) system, which, through a new arrangement and location of the propulsion equipment and the technical area on the under-lower deck, can “disappear”, freeing up extra volumes for the owner’s areas.
Another exclusive agreement has been signed between Sanlorenzo and Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems business unit, through its mtu brand of products and solutions, for the installation of hydrogen propulsion systems made from green methanol. Perotti explained these solutions will be combined with fuel cells supplied by Siemens Energy and will initially be installed on a Sanlorenzo superyacht prototype.
Bluegame, a brand of Sanlorenzo Group, is engaged in the design and construction of the BGH HSV (Hydrogen Support Vessel), billed as the first “chase boat” with hydrogen propulsion and the use of foils to reach a speed of 50 knots and zero emissions. The BGH HSV — which is on display at Cannes — will “fly” alongside the New York Yacht Club’s American Magic, challenger in the 37th edition of the America’s Cup in 2024.
Building on the experience of the BGH HSV project, Perotti revealed the BGM65HH (hydrogen-hybrid) multihull project is currently taking shape, scheduled to be launched in 2026. The vessel will allow sailing with zero emissions for up to 80 miles.
Among other news announced by the shipyard at the press conference was the establishment of ‘Sanlorenzo Côte d’Azur SAS’, for the distribution of the group’s products and services in the Côte d’Azur, a key market for the yachting industry.
Finally, at the end of the evening, Sanlorenzo unveiled the new SX100 and BGM75 models in front of the Majestic hotel’s private Barrière beach.
The SX100 is a crossover yacht with large, open spaces in close proximity to the sea, part of Sanlorenzo’s SX range.
Bluegame’s new BGM75 is the Sanlorenzo group’s first multihull. Intriguingly, the brand describes the vessel not as a ‘catamaran’ but as a luxury yacht that ‘incidentally has two hulls’.
Other Bluegame models on display at Cannes include the BG42, BG54 and the new BG74 and BGX63 models, an evolution of the BG72 and BGX60.

Uniwheels to Purchase European ATS Alloy Wheel Operations
Swiss based alloy wheel manufacturer Uniwheels has announced it intends to purchase the European interests of Germany’s ATS Group. The acquisition will include the three ATS facilities in Germany, along with the company’s Polish subsidiary, which operates two factories. A separate solution for the company’s US subsidiary, ATS Light Alloy Wheels (Alabama), Inc. will be announced next week.
In its European operations ATS manufactures approximately five million alloy wheels per year, and Uniwheels some two million. ATS Beteiligungs was declared insolvent on July 13, 2007, following a request from directors and senior management of parent company, South Africa’s Tiger Wheels.

Centrifugal Pump Load:
Centrifugal Pump Load are used as boiler feed pumps and for pumping water in water pipe lines. The former must be adapted to the variable output of the steam generator. In the latter, varying water requirements of an area decide the delivery rate. The delivery rate of a pump is regulated by its speed. A variable speed drive system is required to drive the centrifugal pumps.
The requirements of a Centrifugal Pump Load are:
- Starting: A smooth starting of the load may be imperative so that no pressure surges exist in the hydraulic system. Also, the starting of the motor must avoid current peaks in the supply system while providing starting torque required by the load.
- Operating safety—Flexibility: The system used should have operating safety and flexibility. In case of any failure in the system the system must be able to drive the load so that continuity is maintained.
- Available power and speeds: The Centrifugal Pump Load are developed for all powers and speeds. Speeds up to 1800 rpm are there. In some exceptional cases speeds of 3600 rpm, 6000 rpm are required.
- Power Consumption: The drive motor used is based on the power requirement. The speed control is required over a wide range. The power consumption must be optimum.
Based on the above requirements, wound rotor induction motors with sub-synchronous converter cascade in the rotor circuit and converter fed synchronous motors are used very widely as the drives for Centrifugal Pump Load. Even though dc motors fed from converters are, versatile in smooth starting and smooth speed control they cannot be developed for high power and high speeds due to the commutator. Hence they are very seldom used as drives for centrifugal pumps.

Fog City Boy on the Camino Frances
Logroño, Spain – April 14, 2015
[Ed. Note – I continue to have difficulties including photos with the text of my blog entries, thus the delay in publishing this post – datelined Logroño, April 14th. I have encountered a challenge not found on The Way last year, to wit, the habitaciones where I have been staying either don`t have internet access, have it but don`t make it available to guests, or don`t support it with recent software updates. I think the difference between this year in Spain and last year in Portugal is two-fold: Time marches on and more and more travelers are bringing devices that connect with the web using wifi (available at every hotel, alberque, and bar in Spain), and the economy of Spain is better than last year`s economy in Portugal. Fewer folks want access to the web using a PC and so the hospitality industry locally doesn´t spend the time, energy, and money to provide it. Local libraries do, however, and that`s where I`m generally able to polish and publish. With that preamble . . . .]
Pamplona is a delightful city with a strong Basque heritage and an all encompassing enthusiasm for all-things-Basque and all-things-partying. It is quite endearing. The days I spent there (one and one-half more than planned) were enjoyable if frustrating because of the electronic challenges I faced – both in terms of acquiring a working SIM card for my iPhone, and the ongoing struggle to upload photos to this blog. Fortunately, those difficulties largely have been surmounted.
Here´s a lovely bridge I crossed when approaching the city center.
Without dwelling excessively on those challenges, I will simply report that the Way from Pamplona traverses city streets that are well way-marked leaving little opportunity to get lost – in contradistinction to my experiences in the early days of the Camino Portugues. The Way passes directly by the Public University of Navarra which invites peregrinos to enter the campus and get a stamp (“sello”) on their pilgrim passports (“credenciales”) – an “accreditation” attesting to their peregrenaciones at this point. Not a sheepskin, but a valued acknowledgment of commitment that embraces body, mind, and spirit.
Thank you, Jim.
The day was clear and pleasant. Perfect weather to commence the next stage on the Way.
Because of the late start, I only reached the small suburban town of Zizur Maior (its Basque name). The next day saw me taking a bus back to Pamplona to work again with the Vodafone folks who eventually, using trial and error, got my iPhone to receive and transmit data. Bravo. But half the day was gone by the time I finally returned to Zizur Maior, retrieved my backpack, and set out on another short day. The Way passes stacks of hay bales reminiscent of scenes from Martin Sheen´s movie, The Way.
And further along, the Way passes the ruins of the Guendulain palace dating from the 16th century.
Eventually, the Way brought me to Zariquiegui, a small village on a hilltop amid verdant fields. A tour of the town took seven minutes, but the views were spectacular.
I checked in to Alberque San Andres, a clean and welcoming facility. I shared an 8-bed (four bunk bed) room with a Swiss lady of about my age, a young Spanish mobile-app developer between gigs, and a delightful young lady from Taiwan whose English was impecable. In the adjoining room were three other peregrinos with whom I would walk in tandem for the next several days – an architect from Newcastle, England, his nephew who was walking a bit of the Camino in anticipation of his wedding a few days later, and an educator from New Zealand who had just completed her service as the principal of an international elementary school in Germany. Though we did not become a “Camino family,” we did hang out together, along with others who formed kind of a loose cohort of peregrinos all headed along the Way at the same time.
My friends have since continued on beyond Logroño while I have lagged behind to enjoy a recovery day and to post to the blog. I hope to catch up with them. We have become good friends in just a few days on the Camino. Such is the nature of the Camino.
The climb out of Zariguiegui the next day was steep and windy. No doubt a consideration in the placement of the windmills on the ridge! A sculpture honoring peregrinos graces the crest of the mountain.
Later that morning, I decided to pursue an alternate route along the way to visit Santa Maria, a small church in Eunate (near Obanos). It is Romanesque and octagonal in design, built in the 12th century.
The church was not yet open when I arrived. I stretched out on a bench and took a brief nap. When I awoke, I discovered that a peregrina from South America had also arrived. She kindly offered to share the bread and cheese that she had had the foresight to bring with her (it now was well past midday). I accepted with thanks.
I set out to explore the grounds and eventually returned to the door to the sanctuary which by then had been opened by the warden. My fellow pilgrim was on her hands and knees before the alter in a supplication and prayer. I waited respectfully. In time she arose, overwhelmed with emotion, and tears in her eyes. I offered a hug. She accepted.
The sanctuary is small and only dimly lit. Recordings of Gregorian chants enhance the experience which encourages contemplation and prayer.
That evening she and I found ourselves at the same table where we were partaking of a “Menu Peregrino,” a simple three-course meal served by many alberques and restaurants along the Way. I had a delightful conversation with her. She is an attorney who has devoted her career to defending economically disadvantaged youth in her country. The faith is quite strong with her. She hopes to walk the Camino de Fatima upon completing the Camino Frances. She intends to reach Fatima in time for the annual festival commemorating the vision of the Virgin seen early in the last century by three young children of Fatima. I saw her again a couple of times, but by now she has gone on ahead.
The Way at this point traverses interesting and varied territory. I´ll let some photos tell the story.
The ¨Queen´s Bridge¨ at Puente La Reina.
Armorial crests on homes and other structures in Cirauqui.
Leaving Cirauqui through an ancient archway and a steep climb that follows.
On the way, with other peregrinos in the lead.
En route to Los Arcos, I passed the 13th Century Fountain of the Moors – Fuente de Los Moros.
Last night was spent in Viana where I rested before the final push this morning into Logroño. In the afternoon, I passed several refugios – stone huts built centuries ago and still stanidng. Built toprovide shelter to earlier peregrinos who might find themselves exposed tothe elements between the pilgrim hostals of the time (often churches and convents encountered on the Way), local townsfolk regularly brought food, water, and kindling to these huts in order that the travelers would have the means to stay strong and healthy,and to continue their pilgrimages.
Somewhere along the Way at this point, I left Navarre and crossed into the famous wine growing semi-autonomous region of La Rioja. Navarre was Basque country with many reminders of the separatist sentiment that is strong with the Basque people. Here are four such reminders. The first is a menu written in two languages – first Basque, then Spanish.
Note the difference in the lettering. Both use the Roman alphabet, but the Basques do it a bit differently. The second is a street sign.
The third and fourth are political slogans found on walls just before entering the final push to Logroño. Green is the color favored by the Basques.
I am intrigued by what I sensed traversing Basque country. I´ll have more to write about that when I return home.
I arrived in Logroño about midday today, in the company of other peregrinos I have met recently. Such is the nature of the Camino.
I found comfortable accommodation at an alberque near the Cathedral and was able to replace several necessary items (sink stopper, cell phone stylus) I had lost en route. The source, as in Portugal, was a Chinese Bazaar. Every big city on the Iberian Peninsula seems to have one.
There were many people out walking during the early hours of the day (1000-1200) and early evening (1800-2000). I was struck by how many were muslim women, covered, in conversation with each other, and guiding their children along their paths. North Africa is not far away.
Lograño is a bustling city of about 155,000. It welcomes peregrinos with waymarks and with a statue in a plaza honoring modern day peregrinos. Note that there are two peregrinos. Compare this statuary with that in Pedron last year (see FCB #9). That one features a solo peregrino walking the Way. The pair in Logroño features two more contemporary peregrinos with determined visages. The leader is a peregrina with a pigtale. A sign of the times along the Way!
I´ll post again from Burgos.
And with that, I´m off.

Mike, I’m glad you were able to post p;pictures but frankly, you didn’t need to. Your writing is description enough. In fact, while reading this I started thinking about a Bill Bryson book where he walks the Appalachian You got me thinking about going to REI and buying hiking boots. But that would interfere with my napping.
Knute, you write a fascinating journal of your adventures. I love reading of your travels. Stay strong, well and safe!
Once again, I’m enjoying your writing and your photos. The first one in this blog, the bridge, looks like a painting. Beautiful! Be safe!
Many thanks for all your hard work and time in making it possible to post images and update the text. I really enjoyed reading and seeing. Buen Camino. Mary Holder
I am enjoying your adventure! You are meeting so many interesting people. I wondered how a retired elementary-school principal could have the strength, after all those years,to make the walk. How are you “deciding” to make side-trips: extra time, ahead of schedule, research you did before you left, recommendations from fellow travelers around the dinner meal? Safe travels brother-in-law!

EC Commissioner Oettinger makes noteworthy comments during a conference in Munich regarding the pending EU Data Protection Reform.
In 2012, the European Commission (EC) proposed a major reform to the European Union’s (EU’s) legal framework regarding the protection of personal data. This reform would expand the reach of the EU’s 1995 Data Protection Directive (the Directive) and harmonize the Member States’ often inconsistent implementation of the Directive. Although the stated goal of the reforms is to strengthen individual rights and address the challenges of globalization and new technologies to lessen the administrative burdens of compliance for companies, if adopted, these reforms will also change the landscape for U.S. companies that do business in Europe. Among the most significant, the proposed reforms would
During a recent conference in Munich, EC Commissioner Günther Oettinger discussed his vision of the Directive and the potential impact of the proposed reforms. He said that, by the end of 2015, the EC intends to submit a proposal for a common European Data Protection Directive that addresses the need for secure “European cloud” data storage. By May 2015, the EC is also expected to publish its strategy for the digital sector. Mr. Oettinger pointed out that, currently, the Member States, with their 510 million people, have one market for such things as food, Bordeaux, and cars but face a fragmented market for digital products and services. Twenty-eight distinct regulations, data protection rules, and regulators exist in the name of implementing the Directive. Mr. Oettinger acknowledged that fragmented implementation does not create a favorable environment for start-ups and investors in the IT sector.
Mr. Oettinger’s remarks can be evaluated in light of the ongoing debate as follows:
In sum, it appears that Mr. Oettinger is realistic about the challenges that the EU faces in implementing data protection reform and is open to industry suggestions for the privacy sector, particularly in areas where Europe is strong, such as the car industry, health, and digital infrastructure.

El Pollo Loco West Hollywood has officially announced its intent to open at 8601 Santa Monica Boulevard in late August. Scrolling signage on their front window states that they are currently hiring and opening at the end of this month. The new grilled chicken restaurant chain is opening below Trader Joe’s on historic Route 66.
Job inquiries should be made to [email protected], or call 323-443-8233.
The famous logo went up on the front window of the empty space located on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Westmount Drive (below Trader Joes) in mid-October stating that El Pollo Loco is coming soon to West Hollywood. The wait may soon be over.
The grilled chicken restaurant chain is taking over the space that was briefly occupied by 85°C Bakery Café WeHo in 2019. The Taiwanese-based bakery closed after being open for about a month. It had its official opening on April 12, 2019 and by May 15th, the baked goods were scrapped and the space has been empty for a little over two years. Before 85°C Bakery Café, the space belonged to Fit Foods for several years before it also closed for good.
The new business will fill a void left made by the closures of WeHo chicken bistros like Koo-Koo-Roo in 2013, and the shuttered departed Coco Queen. However, this time, the chicken will actually be somewhat affordable.
El Pollo Loco which is Spanish for “The Crazy Chicken”, is the name of two independent restaurant chains that are controlled by different companies on in Mexico, and the other in the United States. Both companies specialize in Mexican-style grilled chicken and were founded by Juan Francisco Ochoa.
Ochoa established the first restaurant in Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico in 1974 and then expanded his chain into the United States in 1980. Ochoa then sold his U.S. restaurants in 1983, which became El Pollo Loco, Inc., while keeping the ones in Mexico, which became El Pollo Loco, S.A. de C.V. Both companies have since occupied non-overlapping global territories and have offered different fare.
The chicken fast food joint has grown in the past four decades with over 480 restaurants across the United States. The closest location to West Hollywood was on 1260 N Vine Street, about three miles away.

Title: The Effects of a Temporary Migration Shock: Evidence from the Arab Spring Migration Through Italy
Abstract: This study estimates the short-term effects of migration on employment of native workers in Italy using the exogenous, unanticipated and temporary migration resulting from the Arab Spring. While migration does not have overall effects on native employment, I find significant and offsetting short-term effects across industries. In negatively affected sectors, I estimate quarterly displacement effects that range between 0.68 and 0.8 displaced natives for every immigrant hired. The positive employment effects are consistent with a rise in sectoral employment operating through increased demand from immigrants. Both positive and negative effects on employment tend to dissipate over time.

The dangers of chemicals used in food packaging
The long-term effects of synthetic chemicals used in packaging, food storage and processing food could be damaging our health, scientists have warned. Jo Adetunji reports.
We actually know very little about how chemicals affect bodily functions or promote disease, or at what life stage we are susceptible.
In a paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, the authors said most of these potentially damaging chemicals were found in "food contact materials".
These include the coatings on the inside of cans, laminates on cartons, and glass jar seals.
Small amounts of chemicals used in these materials can diffuse into food, and this can be accelerated by increased temperatures, the type of material used and the length of time foods are stored.
While some of these chemical migrants were regulated, such as indirect food additives in the US, not all were - and as a result contaminants (though not legally defined that way) mean consumers are "chronically exposed to synthetic chemicals at low levels throughout their lives, including the most sensitive periods of development".

President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden joined service members in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Monday for an early Thanksgiving celebration to thank troops and their families for their service.
Bidens expressed gratitude to the families who supported their service members while seconded, and recalled vacations spent without their late son Beau Biden while deployed abroad as an officer with the Delaware National Guard.
“I do not only want to thank you warriors, I want to thank your families because they are waiting. And I know how hard it is to have someone who is not sitting at the table on a holiday who is in danger who finds himself out of the country because that’s it, every time – our son was in Iraq for a year before that, Kosovo, ”Mr Biden said.
Mrs Biden added: “We are so grateful for everything you do and Joe and I feel like you know you are our family and we can not thank you enough.”
After their remarks, Mr. Bitten on an apron with the president’s seal and served the Thanksgiving meal with Mrs. Biden.
The visit marked a continuation of a long-standing tradition of the commander-in-chief celebrating the holiday with troops and thanking them for their service.
This year’s celebration, the first since Mr Biden’s heavily criticized withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, was especially held on American soil.
Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush commonly visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan during the holidays while in office.
The president and first lady are scheduled to travel to Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, where they will stay during the holiday week.

Kermsuh Lake is an alpine lake in the High Uintas Wilderness. It sits at an elevation of 10,200 ft, making it the perfect cooler destination while the SLC valley is baking in heat. Kermsuh Lake sits in one of the three basins in Christmas Meadows - Ryder and Amethyst Lake are the other two, more popular lakes.
The Ashdown Gorge is located on the boundary line of Cedar Breaks National Monument, and lies within the Ashdown Gorge Wilderness near Cedar City, Utah. The trail starts by following the Rattlesnake Creek Trail at 10,500 ft, and eventually drops into the gorge descending a total of 4,100 ft. This route is best done point-to-point, with 1 over night backpacking. You can definitely do this in one day, but to really experience the canyon and take your time, backpacking this trail is perfect.
The Escalante River Trail is a popular backpacking point-to-point route near the town of Escalante, Utah and within Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The entire length of the Escalante River is 87 miles, but this route allows you to see 15 miles of it overnight one night of backpacking. Much of the way, your path will be the river itself. On a blue sky, warm & sunny day, splashing through the stream along tall Navajo sandstone walls feels amazing. Around every corner is something new and exciting to look at. The Escalante Natural Bridge. An arch. Petroglyphs & pictographs. Ruins. You name it, it has it.
Here are 10 tips for backpacking Buckskin Gulch! Backpacking Buckskin Gulch is a one of a kind adventure - not only do you get to travel through the world's longest and deepest slot canyon, but you have some of the most amazing views of long hallways with rocks towering 200-300 ft above you, hiking through dark sections of molded rock, climbing over obstacles, but also get to experience camping overnight in this amazing area. While this canyon has been nicknamed the "worlds most dangerous hike" it also often appears as one of the top "must-do hikes" in the world! As long as you go prepared, it's a trip of a lifetime!
Buckskin Gulch is the longest and narrowest slot canyon in the world - a serpentine hallway with walls of solid stone and a floor dotted with boulders where in some places it's so tight, even the sky is not visible. The rock walls tower anywhere from 100-300 ft tall, and at it's narrowest, is only 2 feet wide. You can hike Buckskin Gulch in a single day, or carry a full pack and camp in the heart of the slot canyon - an experience only done by up to 20 people per night in the entire 45 miles slot canyon.
Backpacking to Titcomb Basin in Wind River Range of Wyoming should be on every backpackers "to do" list. The rugged terrain offers massive mountains with spire towers, clear glacial lakes, high alpine grassland & wildflowers, and world class hiking, backpacking, and climbing. Titcomb Basin is truly a pristine and special place.
Priord Lake sits high in the Uintas in Ashley National Forest at roughly 11,000 ft. The water is an incredible turquoise color, with the Prior Cirque, Priord Peak, and Yard Peak as a beautiful backdrop. The scenery here is unreal, however it takes some advanced navigation skills to get there. The trail has the three bad "Ms" - marshy, mucky, and moist. Horse and cow poops also lines the trail. The trail is also either very faint, or non-existent at times, therefore, this is not a good trail for beginner backpackers.
Farmer's Lake is a lake in the Timothy Lakes Basin in the High Uintas. The trail follows the Swift Creek Trail, as it gains 3,000 ft in 9 miles. There are several other lakes you could backpack to including East or West Timothy Lakes, and Carroll Lakes. Backpacking to this area requires at least a one night minimum stay - two nights is preferred. There is plenty to explore as a day hike in the area and even bag some peaks. The best part about this trail and lake is that we didn't see anybody over 3 days on a weekend! You'll find plenty of solitude here.
Today's Guest Post comes from Heather Lyon! She, her husband, and dogs recently took a backpacking trip to Granddaddy Basin in the Uintas, and she's here to let us know all about it!
By Heather LyonThe Uinta National Forest about an hour due East of Park City, Utah is known for many things. Some of these include Kings Peak, over 1,000 alpine lakes, awesome fishing, and our favorite - prime backpacking. It's so simple to go there. Just buy a map, pick a trail, and how far in you want to go. You will surely find yourself with some of the best views at your chosen campsite for the evening.
Little Death Hollow is a slot canyon in the northeast corner of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in an area called the Circle Cliffs. Not to be confused with "Death Hollow" near Boulder, UT, Little Death Hollow offers a 4 mile slot canyon that, when dry, offers few obstacles, and beautiful high red sandstone cliffs which deepens and narrows as you continue down canyon. The swirling sandstone is mesmerizing, yet hard to stare at as you try to scrape through with your pack on. Little Death Hollow could be done in a day, but backpacking at least 1 night (2 nights preferred) allows you to really explore the area and surrounding canyons, swim in the Escalante River, and create a loop.

Employment Act must step up to protect women at work
“We shouldn’t get our women into jobs where they cannot, at the same time, be mothers…You just can’t be doing a full-time heavy job like that of a doctor or engineer and run a home and bring up children.” (Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, in The Straits Times, 1983)
Thirty years later, it is important for us to reflect, as a society, if much has changed. In Singapore today, women remain the primary caregivers of the family. In spite of their participation in the labour market, women still bear most of the responsibilities for the home – caring for children, elderly and other dependent household members, preparing meals and doing other housework – all of this is unpaid, uncompensated for.
The “double shift” that working women have to perform is a great strain on many of them. Are we giving women enough support to pursue a career they desire and deserve? Women’s ability to rise as a leader in the workplace is also compromised because of the dual burden.
There are numerous impediments faced by women in the workforce or intending to join the workforce. These include the lack of flexible work, long hours, lack of access to childcare, and discrimination faced by single mothers and pregnant women. The government has to address these concerns if it intends to encourage women saddled with the dual burden of providing care for their families and working to remain in or re-enter the workforce.
Providing support for women to work, and making the workplace a safe, conducive environment for them, is critical to building a sustainable workforce and a mature society, where women have an equal voice and fair opportunities in the public sphere.
On top of this, there are many groups of working women who continue to be marginalised in Singapore – this includes foreign domestic workers, single moms and mothers returning to work after taking a few years off for childcare. Business goals cannot be allowed to impede labour rights.
In January 2013, AWARE submitted recommendations for Phase 1 of the proposed amendments to the Employment Act Review. This was done in response to an exercise carried out by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
Extended coverage for foreign domestic workers, pregnant workers and single moms
While AWARE commends MOM for some proposed changes, we note that there are gaps that still need to be addressed. Most significantly, the Employment Act (EA) still does not cover all members of the workforce in Singapore, such as those who are designated as ‘managers’ or ‘executives’.
Vulnerable groups such as foreign domestic workers are also excluded. This exclusion is not aligned with the State’s obligations to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). The UN CEDAW Committee has encouraged the State to ‘review and amend existing labour legislation so that it applies to foreign domestic workers, or adopt new legislation ensuring that foreign domestic workers are entitled to adequate ages, decent working condition, benefits and access to complaint and redress mechanisms.
AWARE thus strongly recommends that the EA cover all workers, regardless of position and salary earned, providing them basic protection. For foreign domestic workers, we suggest that the EA should impose limits on working hours and provisions on medical leave, annual leave and a more effective mandatory day-off policy.
Greater protection must also be given to pregnant employees, regardless of their marital status. While AWARE applauds the recent enhancement of the maternity protection to cover the full pregnancy period, this protection does not extend to all expecting mothers. Currently, single mothers who are employed in positions designated as ‘managerial’ or ‘executive’ are not entitled to any paid maternity leave.
There is also no guarantee that a working mother will be able to return to her exact position, without being terminated, after her return from maternity leave. AWARE thus recommends that there be a prohibition against any termination during an employee’s pregnancy, during her maternity leave, as well as three months after she returns to work from maternity leave. This job protection should also be extended to workers who have to take relatively long periods of leave due to physical conditions, such as recovering from illness or accidents.
For better work-life balance, AWARE recommends that confirmed employees have the right to ask for flexible work arrangements. The employer is obliged to give the request serious consideration and must have good business reason for declining any such requests. In addition, taking into account our ageing society, all employees should also be given two additional days leave to enable them to attend to health needs of elderly relatives, as per the practice in the civil service.
Protection against workplace sexual harassment
We are also advocating for zero tolerance for workplace sexual harassment. The EA has to be amended to provide for the following:
a) Explicit legal protection against sexual harassment
b) Affirmative duties for employers to take steps to prevent sexual harassment
c) An administrative body to handle complaints and promote application of the law, in partnership with MOM
d) A wide range of civil remedies and sanctions.
