Dubbed as the next big Icelandic musical export – and not without talent to prove it – ASGEIR Trausti made waves with his 2012 debut album Dýrð í dauðaþögn, which was later translated and released as In The Silence for english-speaking fans.
Despite providing an English version of his debut release, ASGEIR had already captivated listeners worldwide with his sincere, heartfelt melodies and a wistfulness that often comes synonymous with Icelandic artists. With singles such as ‘Higher’ and ‘King And Cross’ already hitting our airwaves, the folk-tronic musician spoke to us amidst his first trip to Australia for a handful of sideshows and Splendour In The Grass.
PS: Well firstly, what an incredible performance in Melbourne the other night. At the start of your show, there was an Icelandic choral chant that played before you guys walked on stage. Is there a symbolic meaning to that track?
ASGEIR: It’s something that we always sing when we go on stage – my brother always sings the main, lead vocals and it’s like an old rhyme that one of our uncles wrote back in the 1800s or something, so it’s really beautiful. We always sing it before we go on stage.
So it’s actually sung live?
Yeah, we have a microphone just before we walk on stage. Most of the time we do that but sometimes we use a recording of it if it’s not possible to sing it for real.
Beautiful! Well your album, In The Silence was originally released in Icelandic and then it was later translated into English, with the help of John Grant. What was that whole process like?
That was great – I met with John in the fall of 2012 and just a few months before that we worked on the Icelandic version and just released that – The process of recording the album, the Icelandic album, was maybe about three months in the summer of 2012. It was my first time in a real studio, it was my first time recording my songs and proper equipment and with a producer and stuff, so it was a big thing for me when we were starting out. Then in November, no, October we contacted John Grant about doing a translation of the album. It’s just something we really felt was needed because we wanted to do a translation, we wanted to get this album out of Iceland and try to connect with more people and I felt that it needed to be in a language that people would understand and people connect with more. These lyrics in Icelandic are really poetic and fragile, and I think it’s not easy for everyone just to translate them into a different language without fucking it up – John Grant, he’s from America and has been writing lyrics for 30 years or something and as a musician as well we could connect on different levels, so I thought he could really add that poetic feel and the same feel to the translation as it was in Icelandic. That’s kind of the main reason why we brought him in to it.
It’s interesting though how you mention how the whole Icelandic language is poetic in itself, which is why I’m interested in asking why you chose to sing ‘In The Silence’ and ‘In Harmony’ in Icelandic during your live set.
…‘In Harmony’ is a song that we usually sing in Icelandic. Mainly it’s a song that we haven’t been playing a lot live for a long, long while and we kind of just a few weeks ago we started picking it up again and we started playing it again. I’ve just always liked the Icelandic version of that song and it’s like – it just seems more magical and sounds better I guess. Also I’m not too used to sing the English version of it so I guess we cut it out when we were starting up playing live shows in 2012 – It’s also just nice to have some songs we always have in Icelandic so we are not mixing it up every night, it gets pretty confusing! So we kind of just decided on a few songs that would be in Icelandic and the rest in English.
You explain in previous interviews that your father’s poetry is a big influence on your work and that he’s even written some of the lyrics for your album. Will this be something you’ll continue with in your future work?
I don’t really know. We’ve been travelling with this album for two years – we haven’t had much time to write new songs and talk new material and what’s going to happen next, but I really want to try and you know, be a bigger part of it and write the lyrics for it as well and do it that way. But I’ve really enjoyed working with my dad and after many years we’re used to working together and it always kind of works well. So I think he will be some kind of part of it on the next record, definitely yeah.
Now I believe you actually come from a very artistic family in general, but is it also true that you have five other siblings?
Yeah, yeah I have five other siblings [laughs] and one of them was playing with me, playing in my band. So I’m the youngest one, I grew up with one sister; she’s two years older than me. We kind of got into music at the same time, started playing instruments at the same time and all the older siblings, like my brother in the band, he’s 14 years older so I didn’t grow up with him, but he’s definitely like a main influence or inspiration for doing what I do now. Because when I was growing up and I was starting out writing music and playing songs, he was always the guy I looked up to and he used to come over a few times you know when I was growing up and we used to play guitar together and he used to teach me things and I used to listen to his songs and he gave me music. So he’s a big part of the direction I went, definitely. The older siblings that I have are in their 50s and they have families.
So surely there was never a quiet moment in your house if you’re all musicians!
No. I was always around [music] and it’s always been a big part of the family. You know I started playing guitar when I was six and my mum is classically educated, she works as a musician and my dad plays instruments as well. So yeah more like creativity was always around which was really nice to get at a young age.
What if one day you’d turned to your parents and said something like, ‘I want to be an accountant’. How do you think they would’ve felt?
[Laughs] I really think they wouldn’t mind it at all. They always supported me with kind of everything. But I guess you really just have to know me to know that I’ve never had any plans of what I really wanted to be or wanted to do – I always try to take the opportunity when it comes and I’ve tried to make the most of it and that’s definitely what’s happened to me with this album and what I’m doing now – It was a big part of me writing music and singing and recording and all that, but it was more kind of for myself – I wasn’t really showing people it and I was never playing any shows. I have been playing in some bands before on guitar and piano but I never imagined myself being like a solo artist or front man, I just never thought of it. It was just like a hobby, but yeah it was just this one day I met this producer that worked with me on the album and we kind of just really clicked and we tried one song out in the studio, he wanted me back and he wanted to record more songs – But I wasn’t thinking about releasing an album or anything, I released just one song to the radio station and kind of everything changed within just a few weeks.
It all just happened naturally.
Yeah and after that we kept on going, recording more songs and in the end we released an album a few weeks after that and it kind of just blew up in two months or something, two years ago, so I’ve been doing this ever since now. I wasn’t planning on it.
Your music takes basis in a lot of acoustic folk melodies, but you’ve also mentioned [in previous interviews] that you’re starting to mix that with a lot more electronic elements. Was this something that evolved with your song writing?
Well I think that the electronic parts and bits just really evolved when we started recording the album. I have never been working with any programming or synthesizers before but I just stepped in the studio and had all this equipment and all these instruments I have never tried before so I just wanted to try it out and try it with my songs that I have been recording and that I have been writing. The electronic bit was something that kind of mixed together just in the studio; it wasn’t really something I thought of in arrangements or anything, it was just something that kind of happened in the moment. But before I stepped into the studio I had started listening to minimalistic, electronic artists that I was really into. And that was the first time I got into electronic music and that’s probably why it sounds like how it sounds.
Which artists was it that you were listening to a lot?
Well I heard James Blake one day in 2011- it was something that changed the way about I feel or the way I think about writing songs. It really, really inspired me and influenced me and after hearing him I went on listening to different artists with similar sounds like Mount Kimbie, Baths, some artists from Icelandic; artists using this minimalistic, atmospheric sound to speak for itself. That was really inspiring. James Blake was definitely the one that got me into listening to that.
Even with your electronic influence, your song ‘Was There Nothing’ that’s pretty much one of the most sweet, minimalistic songs on the album. What made you stick to that kind of sparseness in that song?
When I was in my teenage years I was all for, just acoustic folk. I always wrote on my acoustic guitar and usually it was just vocals and acoustic guitar. I was really into Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley. Then [I] really got into Bon Iver and Justin Vernon and all that – That’s probably more of where I come from than the electronic parts – Maybe what is changing with my music is now it’ll become maybe more electronic. But I’m more of a folk singer, I guess. So yeah it was just a natural thing to take that song not too far. You know there are certain songs, they just instantly tell you what they need in order to become what they’re supposed to be. ‘Was There Nothing?’ is just a song that immediately you know that doesn’t need anything else and it’s just supposed to be, as it is.
So someone like Justin Vernon, would you love to work with him?
Yeah! I would, yeah! That would be, probably be great. I would really love that.
Someone should make that happen.
I’ve been thinking of working with other artists, because I’ve never done that before except for with a few Icelandic artists actually when we were starting out, but I would really love to work with someone in the future maybe.

Scientific monitoring of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere is the key basis for the formation mechanism and prevention and control of the combined pollution of O3
. It is of great significance to continuously improve the air quality in China. In order to optimize and improve the VOCs monitoring system and efficiency in China, and put forward the development direction and path of photochemical monitoring in the future, the key elements of VOCs monitoring system design, monitoring sites, monitoring items and periods, monitoring technology and quality control technology at home and abroad are evaluated through research, data miningand other methods. This research is carried out from the development history, monitoring points, monitoring items and time periods, monitoring technology and quality of VOCs monitoring at home and abroad. The results show that: (1) The photochemical monitoring network covering key areas has been initially established in China, but in the VOCs monitoring network, key points such as regions, transportation and high emission areas are lacking. It is an important path to optimize and improve them to improve the VOCs monitoring performance in our country. (2) May to September is an important period of O3
pollution in China. The components involved in Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) belonging to the Environmental Protection Agency USA (EPA) are important components affecting O3
, especially ethylene, benzene series, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. And some branched chain olefins and natural source olefins such as α- Pinene β- The impact of pinene on O3
or particulate matters is also noteworthy. Finally, the monitoring project should be optimized according to the localization characteristics. (3) In terms of monitoring technology, manual monitoring and automatic monitoring have their own advantages, showing the development trend of automatic monitoring as the main and manual monitoring as the auxiliary. The monitoring technology system should be developed in the direction of high precision, standardization, miniaturization, modularization, intelligence, high time resolution and low monitoring cost. At the same time, the quality system standard research should be continued to fill the gaps and improve the quality of monitoring data. The research shows the monitoring points of environmental atmospheric VOCs in China should be optimized, the standardization of monitoring technology system and quality system should be strengthened, and the localized monitoring projects in China should be formed focusing on key periods, so as to scientifically optimize and improve the photochemical monitoring program in China.

New York Times: Merely Rich and Superrich: The Tax Gap Is Narrowing, by Floyd Norris:
Will this be the year that the superrich finally pay higher taxes than the very rich? ...
[I]t is an interesting fact that our current tax system assures that — year after year — the superrich, those who report adjusted gross incomes of more than $10 million, have tax rates that are significantly lower than those of the very rich, those earning more than $500,000 but less than $10 million.
Figures just released by the Internal Revenue Service show that in 2011 the difference in rates between the groups rose to 4.1 percentage points, the largest since the I.R.S. began calculating the data in 2000. The superrich paid 20.4 percent of their income in federal income taxes in 2011, while the very rich paid 24.5 percent. ... Why are the superrich treated so well? It is largely because investment income — what we used to call unearned income — has long enjoyed preferential tax treatment. ...
Starting in 2013, the wealthy face significant tax increases. And the increases are greater for investment income. It seems likely that the gap in tax rates between the superrich and the very rich may be narrowed.
For earned income, like salaries and bonuses, married couples who make more than $450,000 now face a top marginal tax rate of 39.6 percent, up from 35 percent. ... [S]ome tax deductions [are] reduced for those with very high incomes. ...
That no doubt hurt the rich, but it is the increases in taxes on investment income that have caused the most surprise, and distress, for some wealthy people as they filed their tax returns this month. Under the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, the Medicare payroll tax increased by 0.9 percentage point in 2013, but only for couples earning more than $250,000 and unmarried taxpayers earning more than $200,000. And unlike the old Medicare tax, the increase applies to investment income, not just to wages. More important was an additional 3.8 percent Medicare tax on “net investment income” for those couples earning more than $250,000. That includes long-term capital gains and qualified dividends on stock, income that until now was taxed at a maximum rate of just 15 percent. But it also includes other income that had been taxed at the same rate as earned income, including rent, royalties, interest and short-term capital gains. ...
The 2013 tax law made the health law tax bill even higher. The long-term capital gains rate was raised to 20 percent for couples who earn more than $450,000. Add in the Medicare tax, and the capital gains rate is 23.8 percent for the rich. For the first time in memory, the wealthy are confronting a tax rate on some investment income — like interest and short-term capital gains — that is higher than the ordinary income rate. Including the Medicare surcharge, the top rate on such income is now 43.4 percent.
Wall Street Journal: Top Earners Feel the Bite of Tax Increases: Big Tax Bills Fuel Debate on How Much the Well-to-Do Should Pay, by John D. McKinnon:
The jump in federal tax rates that kicked in last year is causing sticker shock for many higher earners this tax season.
That, in turn, is rekindling a debate over a question likely to smolder for a long time: How much more could—or should—taxes go up on the well-to-do?
Higher earners' share of the overall federal tax burden has been climbing fairly steadily,
The issue of how much to tax top earners is often debated now in political and economic circles. One camp, led by economists such as Emmanuel Saez of University of California at Berkeley, focuses on the rising gap in incomes between rich and poor. They advocate significantly higher tax rates on the rich. "Higher-income people are the obvious target, because we have seen the trend of much higher incomes among [them]," said Peter Diamond, a Nobel Prize-winning MIT economist who has written with Mr. Saez on taxes. "Secondly we've seen a [long-term] trend of declining tax rates on higher income people." Mr. Diamond advocates going to a 50% top federal rate, for starters.
Others think the tax burden on high-income people may already be too heavy. "Potentially it is too high," and could be causing economic distortions, said Jeffrey Miron, an economist at Harvard University and the libertarian Cato Institute. "That can have serious costs for economic activity," he added.
At the same time, a number of tax economists, including some on the right, advocate narrowing or closing many of the tax breaks that higher-income people use, including for investment and retirement savings. That would reduce some of the means for tax avoidance, and perhaps add to economic efficiency.

As Gilad Shalit (quite a good chronology of events here) begins to integrate back into Israeli society, there has been comment on the difficult issues he will face.
There was a story – both horrific and uplifting – in todays Haaretz, of the experience of Dr Abraham Ohry, who was taken prisoner by the Egyptians at the Suez Canal, during the Yom Kippur War. Well worth reading.
My family has a cousin who survived being at the Canal during the War; He couldn’t describe his painful experiences, but did recall one fellow soldier who during the Egyptian bombing, stood up from his foxhole and shouted that he knew he had to go to another foxhole. Ten seconds later, a bomb destroyed the foxhole that he had just vacated!

With farmers now faced with the unenviable task of producing more with less, efficiency is key for the long-term success of agriculture in the US. That’s why projects like the 4-D farm on ABAC’s campus are more important than ever, as it provides a testing ground for the latest practices and technology.
“So, the 4-D farm is a decision and data driven demonstration farm where we put in practices that have been developed at these sites, research sites through UGA that get implemented here at ABAC on our actual demonstration farm so that we can test them in a production setting,” says Alex McLemore, Associate Professor at ABAC.
Unlike many testing sites, this farm will not just focus on certain crops, but an entire cycle of them year-round. That type of diversity is designed to give the most accurate picture possible for the growers on their operation and how they can become more efficient.
“By putting them into a full farm production setting, we’re actually looking at a, like a full farm instead of just one individual crop. It allows us to look at this kind of futuristic as well as climate smart applications and how they can save money, reduce fuel, all those different things that kind of help them out on their farm. Just in general, we want to do everything we can to become more climate smart. You use less fuel. So, you can end up saving money. It allows you to put you to money elsewhere and expand and it can also help you conserve your resources, which means you have less inputs and stuff like that. So, it’s really a very wholistic, not just one single entity, but really building upon itself,” says McLemore.
Recently, this project received a four-million-dollar grant from USDA, which will provide the most up to date equipment and technology.
“So, that money is going to go towards personnel, data collection, AI type systems, artificial intelligence as well as just kind of the products needed to put in at the farm, updating some of our irrigation equipment so we really have some of that state of the art, industry standard new technology and stuff like that,” says McLemore.
They won’t have to wait long to see some return on their investment, as this new demonstration farm is set to open in the next couple of months.
“The project starts in September. We’re really going to get really heavy into the data collection component of it so that we can step into the decision part of that data driven demonstration. Starting September, we’ll start harvesting that corn that’s in the background and we’ll start getting data off that and we’ll be looking into our soils and thinking about our crops for the next four years or so,” says McLemore.
The future is what this operation is all about as it combines research efforts from UGA and Clemson with the practical application on a state-of-the-art farm, to keep the agricultural industry moving forward.
“The overall goal is to just make farming more robust and more climate smart here in Georgia and beyond and to demonstrate and show what can be done of all the great work that’s happening over at UGA and all of our educational stuff here at ABAC and how we can expand upon what we are currently doing and just demonstrate how we can take things from the past, put them into the future and really be resilient on these farms,” says McLemore.

UPDATED 1/ 4, 8:40 a.m. ET: Authorities are now saying the driver of the white Tesla that went off the side of a California cliff carried out the crash intentionally.
41-year-old Dharmesh Arvind Patel, of Pasadena, has now been reported by KSWB-TV and other outlets to have been arrested in connection with the harrowing crash, which saw all four passengers inside the vehicle (including two minors) surviving the fall. While the driver is currently still in the hospital, he is set to be booked into San Mateo County Jail once he’s released.
In a statement, a California Highway Patrol rep said the decision to arrest the driver was preceded by the gathering of evidence that showed what they said was “probable cause to believe this incident was an intentional act.”
Patel was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and child abuse in connection with the crash, survival of which had previously been described by local agencies as a “miracle” given the region’s history.
See original story below.
In an initial statement detailing the crash, Battalion Chief Brian Pottenger of the Coastside Fire Protection District and Cal Fire said that the car in question—described as a white Tesla—was traveling southbound on Highway 1 near the infamous Devil’s Slide area in San Mateo County when it went over the side of the cliff.
“When we arrived on scene we knew we had one vehicle over the side,” Pottenger said, as seen in the Twitter-shared clip below. “We could see the vehicle so we immediately put a plan in place to lower rescuers down to the vehicle to get eyes and assess what we had. As we were doing that, we were able to notice movement in the front seat through the windshield with binoculars, so we knew that we had at least one person who was alive.”
Responding agencies were “shocked” upon the realization that there were survivors from the crash, which saw the vehicle in question plunging more than 250 feet after going off the side of the cliff. At the time of this writing, officials were quoted as stating they believed the vehicle, based on observable damage, had flipped multiple times before landing “mostly on its wheels” at the bottom of the drop.
In additional comments featured in a report on the harrowing crash from regional outlet KGO-TV, Pottenger highlighted the frequency with which rescue operations of this nature tend to go in a more dire direction.
“We come out here unfortunately all too often for things like this and this was nothing short of a miracle that they survived,” he said on Monday.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said Monday evening that the two adults in the vehicle suffered “non-life threatening injuries” in the crash, while the two children were not harmed. Per KGO-TV, the minors aboard the vehicle included a four-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy.
The California Highway Patrol, per multiple reports, says its initial inquiry into the crash does not indicate that the Tesla was using its self-driving capabilities at the time of the incident. The investigation into what caused the crash remains in progress.
Complex has reached out to multiple agencies including the California Highway Patrol, Cal Fire, and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office for additional comment. This story may be updated.

The national statistics were published yesterday and collated by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), including information on the usage of wheat, oat and barley.
The total amount of wheat milled in April was 468,000t, down 1%, while imported wheat milled showed a 14% decline on the same month last year coming in at 49,000 tonnes.
Data was accumulated from the Wheat Millers and Flour Producers, the Brewers, Distillers and Maltsters and the Oatmeal Millers Surveys, produced by Defra.
Oat usage was up 3% between January and March, compared to the same period in 2011, with a total of 124,000t of oats milled in the three-month timeframe.
Results for the usage of wheat, barley and brewers and maltsters will be released monthly and are due to be updated on 5 July 2012.

There is always hype surrounding a managerial appointment. However, there is also hype surrounding managerial sackings, for all the wrong reasons. Clubs walk a fine line between allowing a manager time to settle in, and making immediate changes. There is a big issue, especially in the Premier League, with clubs prematurely sacking their managers in the hope of a short term fix.
Recent research showed that the average football manager in England lasts a little over two years in a job position. This is mirrored in professional US sport with head coaches averaging less than 2.5 years in their job. This could just be clubs looking to freshen themselves up in order to remove any complacency within the playing group, or it could be that results are not up to standard, so therefore the manager must be moved on.
The main reason why managers get sacked is because the team is underperforming. If a team is in the relegation zone fighting to stay in the league, then the club sees it as an act of CPR, trying to breathe life into the club for one final stint at survival. Of nine studies scrutinized from six countries, five of those nine – from England and Spain – stated that replacing a manager does improve a club’s on-field performance. The results from England suggested that a club’s short-term performance increases when a new manager is appointed which could explain the reasons behind relegation-threatened teams changing their manager towards the end of the season.
Mangers are appointed for their short-term fixes. League Managers Association chief Richard Bevan said: “What clubs need to do is look at Leicester,” he added. “When Nigel Pearson took over, I think they were 12th in the Championship and they gave him the confidence and resources, they didn’t isolate him, and he got them into the Premier League.” This outlines the way that clubs are now no longer interested in signing a manager to lead them for the next 2 season. They are beginning to realize that a manager can be hired for an immediate fix over a season and a half, and then sacked and another manager hired, with the cycle repeating itself. It makes for very difficult circumstances for managers, as they are constantly being hired and fired. This is ever present in the Premier League.
Take Arsene Wenger. He is the perfect example of how holding off on sacking a manager is better off in the long term. For the 20 years he has been managing Arsenal, he has never finished outside the top 4, qualifying for Champions League football every single year, although never winning the league. Also, he is the most successful manager in terms of FA Cup titles won, equaling George Ramsay’s record of 6. Whilst Arsenal could have sacked Wenger in order to pursue the league title, he has offered them incredible consistency and a clear vision.
Finally, the EPL is witnessing the death of the English manager. Not one club that finished in the top 10 of the Premier League this season was managed by an Englishman. Alan Pardew of Crystal Palace, Eddie Howe of Bournemouth, and Sam Allardyce of Sunderland are the only English managers in the Premier League. English bosses are rarely considered when the big jobs come up. Twenty years ago, in 1995-96, there were 17 Englishmen, in addition to two Scots and Joe Kinnear of Ireland. it is a concern also that 18 of 20 managers in Serie A are Italian; 14 of 20 managers in La Liga are Spanish; 11 of 18 Bundesliga managers are German; 18 of 20 Ligue 1 managers are French. This is for one reason only. That clubs have already gone through all viable English candidates for the jobs as a result of frequent managerial sackings, that they are forced to look overseas.
Overall, the English Premier League sacks managers far too frequently. It is understandable that a club sack a manager if results are not going their way, yet at the moment, it is going overboard. Managerial sackings are far too frequent.


A Republican congressman representing Lebanon County was invited to attend President Barack Obama's announcement Friday about long-term unemployed job applicants.
Gerlach, whose Sixth Congressional District represents part of Lebanon County, was one of only a handful of congressional members invited to the White House announcement.
He was joined by the CEOs from several of the nation's largest companies, who the president urged to review hiring practices that are unfair to the long-term unemployed.

Gerlach said after the news conference Obama's proposal is a good one that addresses one symptom of unemployment, but it does not get at the root of the problem.
"It's an initiative that makes a lot of sense and is an effort that hopefully reduces long-term unemployment," he said. "But it is only one small piece to getting people back to work. It seems to me that more macro-policies are needed to address the causes of unemployment."
Chief among those broad-based policies would be comprehensive tax reform, said Gerlach, who is a member of the influential House Ways and Means Committee.
"I believe the Ways and Means Committee will be putting forward a program of reforms pretty soon that we feel would create millions of new jobs, which is obviously the best approach for addressing unemployment," he said.
Gerlach said he was not given a specific role in helping advance Obama's latest proposal but noted that he represents a district that is heavily populated with large companies the president was addressing, including Pfizer, Seimans, Boeing and Comcast. In addition to Lebanon, the Sixth District represents parts of Chester, Montgomery and Berks counties.
In Tuesday's State of the Union Address, the president stated repeatedly he is willing to bypass Congress by issuing executive orders to expand economic opportunity and achieve other goals on his agenda.
Gerlach, who announced earlier this month that he will not seek re-election, recently introduced legislation that would call for a judicial panel to review presidential actions that Congress deems to be outside constitutional limits, something he claims the president has already done with the Affordable Care Act and immigration reform.
While still concerned about Obama's willingness to end-run Congress, Gerlach said he did not believe Friday's announcement fell into that category.
"I think this particular effort he announced (Friday) is appropriate and a common sense approach," he said. "But it is a clear indication the president is willing to use the pen and phone. So it will be up to us as members of Congress to keep an eye on that."

Sri Lanka had to fall back on much of that confidence in the fourth innings of the Dubai Test, as Pakistan made a charge for the target.
Starting off the day on 198/5, Pakistan continued to edge their way closer to victory, but after Asad Shafiq and captain Sarfraz Ahmed added 27 runs to their 146-run partnership, Sarfraz was caught by Nuwan Pradeep at deep backward square leg off the bowling of Dilruwan.
It was tough on Shafiq to finish on the losing side, the batsman hitting his first ball of the day for four to bring up the 150 partnership and see his team past the 200 mark.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's homework for Rangana Herath went in vain as Sri Lanka unleashed a secret weapon in form of Dilruwan Perera, who spelled a doom with a magical spell, as the hosts lost three wickets with in a span of three runs that dented their hopes of a series-leveling win.
It is Pakistan's first Test series loss in the United Arab Emirates since it became their unofficial "home" for cricket following the 2009 terrorist attack on a Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore. Last night, it was a little hard to bowl, especially with the dew (but) we knew when we come today, it will grip more. Both openers gave us a good start in the first match but the thing is we couldn't convert those scores. This was my first series as captain and it was pretty tough.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka now play a five-match one-day series, the first in Dubai on Friday. We knew when we come today, it will grip more.
However, Sri Lanka still had a comfortable lead as Pakistan were all out for 262 in reply to Sri Lanka's first inning total of 482. "I knew they would do their job in this session and I am really happy with the way we played". "The selectors have also supported me to create the culture and passion we had in the past".
Pakistan, who were placed sixth before this series with 93 points, have lost five points to slip down one position to seventh, with 13 points being the difference between them and the eighth-ranked West Indies, according to the latest rankings announced by ICC on Tuesday. "Last night it was a little hard to bowl, especially with the dew. We will have some senior players returning and I hope we'll play better cricket there".

IPL owners dial H-E-L-P
The Indian Premier League franchisees are feeling the heat of the economic slowdown. Wary of the implications of the economic turmoil, they are looking towards the BCCI to lend them a helping hand, reports Vinod Kumar.cricket Updated: Feb 03, 2009 00:05 IST
The Indian Premier League franchisees are feeling the heat of the economic slowdown. Wary of the implications of the economic turmoil, they are looking towards the BCCI to lend them a helping hand.
"The BCCI is aware of the problems we are facing; it should come forward and help us out of trouble," said Ness Wadia, a co-owner of the Kings XI Punjab team. That franchisees are actually feeling the pinch and want the BCCI to bail them out is evident by the fact that they have formed an association to give themselves a common platform to air their grievances. "The body will interact with the BCCI on behalf of all franchisees on issue concerning them. The board must understand that these are difficult times and we need to work out ways to see that all franchisees survive. If we don't do well, the BCCI too wouldn't benefit," he said.
The Franchisee Association, he said, will hold a meeting after February 6 to discuss how to proceed. "There are many financial and cricketing issues that need to be addressed," said Ness.
Other than financial issues, the franchisees are also concerned about the availability and fitness of the leading players. "We are excited about the tournament, but we are also worried about the pressure the hectic schedule will put on players," he said.
The Indian players, who will return from New Zealand on April 7, will have just three days to freshen up and get into the T20 mode. "We believe that that there should be an eight-week window for the IPL so that all players are fit and raring to go," he said, adding that it would also give them some time to prepare the teams in right earnest.
He said they had tough time preparing the team with top international players joining their respective just two days before the tournament got underway. Wadia agreed that it would be tough to match the success of the first season, but then it won't be bad either.
Revealing their plans for the auction, he said Andrew Flintoff was on their wish list. "We are keen on England all rounder and some other players. However, we won't buy anyone just for the sake of buying; he will need to be of some value to the team," he said. The franchisee, which had a 26-member squad in the inaugural season, is looking to cut it down to 16 or 18 to members.

Ms Dunlop's other book, 'The Land of Plenty' is, as I expressed in my review of it, one of the best cuisine books in my collection (and I have over two hundred).
I do prefer the first book over this latest one, but that is in no way a criticism of it's quality; rather, just a function of my personal preference for Szechuan over Hunanese cuisine.
I have little interest in cookery books that are simply just collections of recipes. Like her first effort, this book is rich with historical, cultural and linguistic information connected with the cuisine being discussed. My only negative criticism is that I especially love books that have a photograph, or photographs, of each dish for which there is a recipe... this book, and the earlier one, have lots of pix but not for each dish. STILL... that's a minor criticism.

“I’m sure their concern asking РІР‚вЂќ whether situated in prejudice, judgment, stigma, whatever would cause an excessive amount of anxiety,” Alli, 25, told Mic. “I do not like whenever most of the eyes take me personally.”
Claire , 26, that is in a term that is long relationship and identifies as being a heteroromantic bisexual, stated that her homophobic aunt panicked and told other people of her household whenever she saw that Claire changed her sexual orientation on Twitter to “interested in women and men.” Therefore she quickly changed it back again to “interested in guys.” I just try not to talk because they know literally everything else about me about it with my family anymore,” Claire told Mic. “I don’t consider it a central part of my identity by any means, so it’s not that big a deal, but every once in a while I will be like, ‘Oh, I wish they knew about this. It is only a little complicated.”
Whenever intercourse and thoughts diverge:Р’ Although people might split their intimate orientations from their sexual orientations, some believe that these distinctions are problematic and steeped in centuries of homophobia. Charles Pulliam Moore talked about the trend of “bisexual but hetero amorous” guys in aР’ idea CatalogР’ pieceР’ and just how their willingness to possess intercourse with guys, while withholding the psychological accessory, stops them from being accepted by both the heterosexual and LGBT communities.
“Bisexuals get a bad rap for perhaps maybe not to be able to explain their psychological actions that appear therefore incongruous along with their sexual proclivities. It doesn’t should be the full instance,” Moore wrote. “If more bisexual people could show that sentiment with their lovers i am ready to bet that most people would not be so aggressive towards them . they’ve got become upfront as to what it really is which they want and whom they need it from.”
Other people just just take problem aided by the notion of a heteroromantic bisexual for different reasons, arguing that the science of attraction is just too complex to compartmentalize into “romantic” and “sexual.” Aleta Baldwin, assistant teacher of general general public wellness with Ca State University at Stanislaus, contends that intimate orientation and orientation that is romantic necessarily be decoupled, and rather concerns the idea of an “orientation.”
“as opposed to start through the indisputable fact that there is certainly a disconnect between intimate and intimate orientations, I would personally concern the conflation of intimate attraction, intimate behavior and intimate attraction into one concept: orientation,” Baldwin told Mic.
Baldwin additionally emphasized that labels homosexual, straight and bi usually do not “represent the intimate and intimate realities of an excellent people that are many. Lots of people encounter both intimate and attractions that are romantic other ways to various individuals (and also various kinds of individuals). This may, but doesn’t invariably change over their life time.”
A stigmatized sexuality:Р’ you can find a slew of stereotypes related to bisexuality, like the proven fact that being bisexual ensures that you cannot make up your brain or, when I feared in my own senior high school years, so it makes you “slutty.” But and even though those stereotypes use irrespective of sex, they may be much worse for bisexual guys.Р’
Once I released a call for those who identify as heteroromantic and bisexual, for example, we anticipated to mostly accept reactions from females, as females statistically self identify as bisexual more frequently than males do. I became surprised to get an outpouring of reactions from guys, whom felt they mightn’t be completely available about their sex as a result of concern about alienating male and female lovers.
For heteroromantic bisexual males, being released with their feminine lovers may have consequences that are unintended. Nate*, 25, stated that “a notable percentage of (cis) females i’ve been with and around appear to harbor a mistrust regarding bisexual men for fear which they might just be closeted and gay. a reasonable level of females lose fascination with me personally upon learning my sexuality.”
Steve*, 30, self identifies as being a heteroromantic bisexual but said he would rather let individuals assume he is solely heterosexual “for convenience’s benefit.” “for starters, in the event that individuals where I worked knew I happened to be bi or had been also ever wondering, i might be mocked mercilessly to the stage where I would personallyn’t have the ability to do my work,” he told Mic. “It is a blue collar environment, and so I’m mostly maintaining myself safe.”
Steve, whom played football in twelfth grade, started initially to conceal their sex after having a friend that is close the group which he had dated a guy. “we began noticing that individuals had been beginning to aim he told Mic. “They would for me instead of the ball carrier during practice . kick me personally and fundamentally do any. We learned later on that the mentor turned their attention away because he heard I became a ‘queer.'” Steve’s experience is rather typical regarding the connection with free cam girls bisexual males therefore the standard that is double our tradition’s view of bisexuality. Although we contemplate it okay for ladies to test out other ladies because lesbian sex is “hot,” males who test out other guys are immediately defined as homosexual. For males, being released may be disastrous.
“And even though senior high school is long over as well as the globe is a somewhat different spot, i am nevertheless afraid I want to have sex with,” he told Mic that I will be beaten, mocked and judged for something as trivial as who.
A lot more than 50 shades of grey: a lot of people believe that sexuality is based on three categories that are basic homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual. Sex can be regarded as one thing stable: as soon as you’re down, you are away. And when you do not ever come out, you are straight РІР‚вЂќ full end. Our tradition is gradually realizing there are numerous tones of grey in terms of orientation that is sexual and now we’re producing the room for sexual identities which weren’t formerly recognized. Although some might concern the credibility of those identities, it is clear us make better sense of our sexuality and our world.Р’ that they help
Having said that, with all the label “heteroromantic bisexual” has clarified my sex for myself, I would instead do without having the labels to start. Labels claim that sex is somehow fixed, whenever the truth is, it is forever in flux. This fixed perception of sexuality can also be why We haven’t turn out to my children and lots of of my intimate lovers; I do not desire to be regarded as fickle. I am aware this talks to bigger dilemmas regarding how our tradition perceives bisexuality, but like Steve, i cannot help not planning to be judged irrespective.
As individuals find more particular approaches to recognize their intimate and intimate orientations, we ought to reconsider why it is necessary for individuals to turn out, and just how intimate attraction applies to identification. And once we show up with an increase of and much more labels to spell it out whom we like making love with, we might realize that in the long run, we do not require any labels after all. Names have already been changed to permit subjects to talk easily about personal things. This short article ended up being initially posted on Oct. 20, 2015

No other great composer left as many works for piano duet as Franz Schubert. Making music with others, often in a social circle, was a solid component of the Schubertian circle of friends. With the Fantasie in F minor D 940 op. post. 103, however, Schubert completely left the sphere of social gatherings and created, in the first months of his last year of life, a work of almost symphonic form, whose elegiac atmosphere at the beginning sets the tone for the entire work. Schubert was apparently aware of the significance of the work and prepared it for printing: the autograph already contained in his hand the opus number of the first edition published in March 1829.

Bill Gates sent a dire warning to the leaders of Europe this week. He claimed that they risk collapse if they don't make migration onto the continent more difficult:
In an interview with the German Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Gates said massive population growth in Africa will result in “enormous [migratory] pressure” on Europe unless countries increase overseas development aid payments.
Praising Germany having achieved its commitment to devote 0.7 per cent of GDP to foreign aid as “phenomenal”, the 61-year-old called on “other European nations to follow its example”.
But Gates also spoke of a dilemma caused by ‘the German attitude to refugees’, referring to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to open Europe’s borders to illegal migrants arriving from the third world.
“On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more generous you are, the more word gets around about this — which in turn motivates more people to leave Africa,” Gates told the Sunday newspaper.
“Germany cannot possibly take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to make their way to Europe.”
Because of this, Gates stressed that “Europe must make it more difficult for Africans to reach the continent via the current transit routes”.

“Do you want to see some photos?,” said Clint. They were familiar words from my husband, business partner, and best friend. It was late on a Saturday evening after he had returned from a commercial photo shoot for Madison Festivals Inc. to document two new events added to the Madison Marathon weekend: a twilight 10K for adults, and a half-mile kids’ race.
I am not a photographer. But I adore photography. It is a medium both raw and real, one that spans an incredible spectrum. The unapologetic witness of photojournalism, which documents the horrors of battlefields and the tragedy of famine. The surrealism of altered images, which create a fantasy world. The minimalism of genres such as contemplative (Miksang) photography, which challenges viewers to appreciate the beauty that always surrounds us. For photography lovers, there is always more to learn, more to see, more to experience.
Every photographer – and every photography fan – recognizes “the” images. The ones that pierce the veil of mundane life and make us see with new eyes and open souls. They are images that your mind will re-play when your eyes shut. These are images that will resonate deeply and echo throughout time. They make you want to study them. They make you want to live more deeply.
They are ephemeral, and don’t come around terribly often.
But as we gazed through the series from the evening, all of a sudden I was overcome.
Clint glanced over, surprised. I was wordless, because I couldn’t speak.
“You don’t usually cry at my photos,” he said somewhat playfully.
Still couldn’t speak.
The image that had pierced my vision was rendered in black and white. Two young girls were gathered close to each other. Clint explained that they were actually being interviewed by camera crew that was documenting the children’s race. While the video cameras fixed on their fresh, animated faces and the sound boom operator carefully picked up their excited chatter, Clint focused on something else.
Their hands. One African-American, one Caucasian, spontaneously intertwined.
I don’t know any details about the girls, or how they came to be at a running event together, or why they were being interviewed. But as a 37-something-year old American in the year 2012, along with over 311 million other Americans, I witness the complex reality of race in modern society. The strength of amazing role models in communities of color, the crushing economic disparities that follow racial lines with heartbreaking frequency, the depth of future possibilities for today’s youth that too often remains numbingly unrealized.
And as I looked at the image, none of that complex reality mattered. Because there, right in front of me, were two children showing each and every one of us what really matters:
Stop making it complicated. Grab your friend’s hand and go for a run together.
As the tears flowed, I realized that maybe, just maybe, it really is that simple. That’s the power of a photograph.

On May 16, in an effort to help participants save on the cost of prescriptions, achieve price transparency at the point of care, and improve overall cost-effectiveness, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that all Part D plan sponsors are required to implement at least one electronic Real Time Benefit Tool (RTBT) of their choosing by January 1, 2021.1
At SS&C Health we have a unique point of view on what this announcement means for stakeholders across the healthcare continuum. We were early entrants to the Real-Time Benefit (RTB) market. We developed, implemented, and then improved upon some of the first-ever versions of this tool, and we have seen how equipping prescribers with accurate comprehensive patient-centric formulary, benefit, channel and therapeutic alternative information can reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients and drug spend for plans. We believe that the new RTB requirement will support value across the industry and can contribute to better clinical and financial outcomes. Here are three reasons why:
RTB equips providers and patients to make better prescription decisions
RTB is among the most effective tool available for supporting out-of-pocket price transparency, which is especially important in today's consumer-driven environment. The current generation of RTB solutions equips providers with access to patient-specific formulary and benefit information as well as channel options, drug interactions, and therapeutic alternatives so they can work with their patients to prescribe the most affordable, effective, hassle-free medication. This is a big step in the right direction for price-conscious consumers and for pharmacies, providers, and health plans who want to deliver an excellent member experience and promote adherence.
RTB supports better quality ratings
RTB can help improve core performance indicators that affect quality ratings such as patient satisfaction, patient engagement by physicians, and retention of physicians and members.2 When the member's health journey does not get delayed or hard-stopped due to prior authorizations, step therapy, or cost concerns, they have a more positive experience, and that supports higher quality ratings.
RTB amplifies your value-based care efforts
RTB aligns well with Value-Based Care concepts because it gives providers and patients more control over a leading cause of medication nonadherence: cost3. When out-of-pocket costs are lower, we see better adherence, which leads to better financial and clinical outcomes4. This supports dollars saved for all stakeholders who are involved in value-based contracting.
While its potential as a time-saving, money-saving, satisfaction-driving tool is evident; RTB is still a relatively new solution in the marketplace. However, as Part D plans comply with the new rule, wide-spread adoption will drive even more progress when it comes to data analytics and future capabilities. Commercial plans will also reap the benefits of an accelerated learning curve. As RTB providers amass information and experience related to adherence, provider adoption, and ROI for plans; features and capabilities that are in early development phases today, will be operationalized more quickly.
SS&C Health is the only RTB partner to offer outcomes analysis that allows clients to measure actual RTB-influenced savings in addition to projected savings metrics. We launched the industry's first Real-Time Benefit pilot project in 2012, and we have been working to deliver transparency and value ever since. Today our provider footprint is among the best in the industry with more than 164K physicians using our solution each month. In addition to pricing information, therapeutic alternatives, channel options and patient-specific benefit considerations; we provide a fully adjudicated 'faux claim' at the point of prescribing so that the provider can make truly informed treatment decisions together with the patient.
Part D plans: January 2021 is not far away. Now is the time to get started on your Real-Time Benefit implementation. To learn more about RTB and how to evaluate an RTB partner, download our white paper, Real-Time Benefit: Validating Outcomes and Savings for Health Plans, Providers, and Patients.

Facts and Data
Unesco World heritage since: 2000
Size of heritage:
The Churches of Chiloé represent a unique example in Latin America of an outstanding form of ecclesiastical wooden architecture. They represent a tradition initiated by the Jesuit Peripatetic Mission in the 17th and 18th centuries, continued and enriched by the Franciscans during the 19th century and still prevailing today. These churches embody the intangible richness of the Chiloé Archipelago, and bear witness to a successful fusion of indigenous and European culture, the full integration of its architecture in the landscape and environment, as well as to the spiritual values of the communities.

Churches of Chiloé: A Testament to Chilote Architecture and Cultural Heritage
The Churches of Chiloé, located in the municipalities of Castro, Chonchi, Dalcahue, Puqueldón, Quemchi, and Quinchao in the Chiloé Province of the X Region de los Lagos in Chile, are a collection of unique and historically significant churches that have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000. These churches are not only architectural marvels but also bear witness to the cultural heritage of the Chilote people.
The Churches of Chiloé date back to the 17th and 18th centuries when the Spanish colonizers arrived in the region. The Chilote people, a mix of indigenous and Spanish settlers, developed a distinct architectural style known as Chilote architecture. This style blended European religious influences with local materials and construction techniques.
The churches were built using native timber, such as alerce and cypress, which were abundant in the region. The construction techniques employed by the Chilote craftsmen were unique, utilizing a system of wooden joints and pegs instead of nails. This technique, known as "entablature," allowed the structures to withstand the region's harsh climate, including earthquakes and heavy rains.
Over time, the Chilote people constructed more than 150 churches across the archipelago, each with its own distinct design and architectural features. These churches became the center of community life, serving as places of worship, social gatherings, and cultural events.
Today, 16 of these churches have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites, representing the best-preserved examples of Chilote architecture. These churches include the Church of San Francisco in Castro, the Church of Santa María de Loreto in Achao, and the Church of San Juan in Dalcahue, among others.
The Churches of Chiloé are not only significant for their architectural value but also for their cultural and historical importance. They are a testament to the fusion of indigenous and European influences in Chilote culture and reflect the strong religious beliefs and traditions of the local communities.
However, the preservation of these churches is an ongoing challenge. The harsh climate, including high humidity and exposure to saltwater, poses a constant threat to their structural integrity. Additionally, the lack of resources and funding for maintenance and restoration efforts further exacerbates the risk of deterioration.
Efforts are being made by local communities, government agencies, and international organizations to preserve and protect these churches. Restoration projects have been undertaken to repair damaged structures and reinforce their foundations. Training programs have also been implemented to ensure the transfer of traditional construction techniques to future generations.
The Churches of Chiloé continue to be an important part of the cultural identity of the Chilote people and attract visitors from around the world. Their inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list serves as a recognition of their outstanding universal value and the need to safeguard this unique architectural and cultural heritage for future generations.

Music Review: The Kill Screens - Science Fiction Movie
This afternoon I spent some time doing something I though I would never do. I downloaded iTunes... Eh. I'm still not sure how I feel about that program, but the reason I dowloaded iTunes was to purchase and listen to the new album by The Kill Screens. Their new album, Science Fiction Movie is dubbed as an indie electronic pop album, and has a total of 14 tracks that encompass a whole host of moods throughout.
A lot of the tracks on this album feature an old, gritty variation of synth and pad sounds that are reminiscent of the loveable video game soundtracks of the late 80's and early 90's that compliment the softer synth and pad sounds throughout.
The vocals done by Matthew McCarthy are clean, smooth and melodic to say the least. Although he doesn't display a huge variety in his vocal range and pitch, they are pulled off beautifully and never really left me wanting more from each of there songs. An all in all great job was done in the melodic production. I also really liked the cover art which come to find out was also produced by one of the members, John Jacobsen.
Although I spent the time to download and purchase this album from iTunes, I would recommend grabbing the album from Amazon. The album price over at iTunes is $9.99 compared to Amazon's price label of $8.99. Thats right! A buck! (so i'm cheap, whatever!) Whatever method you prefer for purchase, you won't regret dropping a few bucks on this album!
The Kill Screens are composed of the members John Jacobsen and Matthew McCarthy. You can visit their website at www.TheKillScreens.com

Position in Korea
Overlapping Market Opportunities
Demographically, Millennials in the US, as well as those in Korea, represent strong interest in Bitcoin as an asset class. In 2021, with COVID’s impact on the world economy, Bitcoin has witnessed rapid growth in market cap.
By the close of 2020, major institutional and corporate interests had begun to make newsworthy moves into the asset class, led by organizations such as Microstrategy, Paypal, and Square. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust outranked traditional equities like Netflix, Berkshire Hathaway, and Microsoft, in a survey conducted by Charles Schwab in December 2019.
Among South Korean Millennials, 3 in 10 invested in cryptocurrencies during the 2017 period. Korea Marks Significant Volumes
First Ecosystem Builder in Korea As a visible, well publicized crypto company in South Korea, Chain Partners stands to gain significant market share over the near- to mid-term. With the CEO & founder having held the inaugural seat as crypto policy advisor in the Korean presidential technology commission and a widely read blog shaping industry opinion, Chain Partners is well suited for leadership in the industry for years to come.
Real Synergy Inside and Outside Korea Unlike other players in the Korean crypto industry, such as crypto exchanges or protocols, Chain Partners has entered multiple market opportunities with a comprehensive portfolio of services. This is significant from an investor perspective because the company is capable of producing complementary revenue streams, in addition to timely exits or pivots as market conditions develop rapidly.

Washington, DC is more than just the US capital. It is 61 square miles of food, history and a ton of fun. There are so many things to do in DC, and I was lucky enough to live in DC for a semester in college.
Because of my extended stay, I was able to learn about the ins and outs of the city, and created an itinerary for anyone’s interests in 1, 2 or 3 days. So here it is, the best things to do in DC!
Before you go to Washington, DC
Make sure to book your hotel early and in a location outside the business centers. If you’re not careful, you may have a terrible time finding dinner, especially on a weekend when many places are closed—which is why I recommend avoiding places like L’Enfant Plaza.
Book everything in advance. Outside of museums and landmarks, you’ll need to think ahead. If you want to tour the White House or the Pentagon, you need to sign up as soon as possible so they can background check you. If you want to see the Capitol Building, book a tour early for a time slot.
Washington, DC is lovely because most attractions are free, but it’s also insanely busy year round. You don’t want your trip ruined because of crowds!
Lastly, be prepared to walk. There is an easy metro system, stations are often fairly far away from the main things to do in DC, so it may be more of a hassle in some cases than just walking. Bring the right shoes!
Start your day on the early side if you can, no later than 10 AM, because you have a lot to see and a lot of walking to do! This is the busiest day, as it involves the most popular things to do in DC.
Begin your day by heading over to the museum of your choice! Everyone has their own interests when it comes to DC museums, but the following are ones I recommend the most:
- National Air and Space Museum
- National Gallery of Art
- National Museum of African American History and Culture*
- United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
*This museum is so new, it’s insanely difficult to get a ticket! Plan to go on a weekday or try to get them in advance; otherwise, you’re out of luck.
**This museum does cost $24.95, but the ticket lasts for two days and is well worth it.
Spend a good amount of time in your museum, because they are huge and fascinating. I actually spent 7 hours, from open to close, in the National Gallery of Art once!
Next up is getting some lunch. Most of the museum food courts are actually pretty good, so you could just eat there. However, if you want some of the best food in town, head over to Good Stuff Eatery on Capitol Hill. They serve up amazing burgers and shakes that will really fuel your day!
After filling up, head over to the Capitol Building for a 90 minute tour inside. If you didn’t book one, I recommend doing some photo-ops outside, and touring the National Archives to see the Constitution! Don’t worry, the line moves fast.
Regardless of what you do, make sure to stop in the Library of Congress. The interior is so spectacular, it’s easily one of the most worthwhile things to do in DC! Note: enter from the top of the stairs, not through the door underneath them, or you will be completely lost and end up in the restricted section (like I was—oops!)
Most attractions around in the city close at 5 PM, so this should be a perfect time to go grab some dinner and relax. Check out my DC food guide for the some food recommendations. After that, head back out to the National Mall for some serious walking.
This is the best part, and one of my favorite things to do in DC. It’s time to go Midnight Memorialing! This is the time where you go wander around all of the famous monuments and memorials Washington, DC is known for. No, it doesn’t have to be at midnight, but nighttime is definitely the best way to view the monuments.
I have perfected the memorial route. It will take you around a loop with a stop at all of the most significant ones, including the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. While I’m no Jefferson fan, I personally really enjoy this memorial. It’s beautiful and quiet, since it’s completely out of the way and most people are too lazy to go see it!
Here is the perfect route for Midnight Memorialing:
- Washington Monument
- Thomas Jefferson Memorial
- FDR Memorial
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
- Korean War Veterans Memorial*
- Lincoln Memorial
- Vietnam Veterans Memorial
- World War II Memorial
- The White House**
*My personal favorite, which looks extra eerie at night.
**The lights go out at 11 PM, so make sure you arrive before then.
Overall, this is a four mile walk. It’s very long, especially with the addition of the Jefferson memorial, but they’re all so beautiful to look at that I never even notice.
Now, if you can’t walk for too long, especially in the swampy summers, please find an alternative like a hop on hop off or segway tour. I have walked 10 miles in a day multiple times in DC, and this will no doubt add up to be at least the same.
And that concludes one very jam-packed day in Washington, DC! But if you’re around for more….
It’s time to move beyond the most famous things to do in DC, and onto the rest of the city!
Make your way over to the National Zoological Park in Woodley Park, a free and amazing zoo just a few blocks from the Woodley Park metro station. You’ll find all kinds of animals, including giant pandas (if they’re not asleep) and elephants from up close. This is definitely one of the best things to do in DC, regardless of age!
After a few hours taking selfies with the otters, take a Lyft or bus over to Georgetown, the one part of Washington, DC without a metro station. If you want, you can make a stop at the National Cathedral as well.
The Georgetown Waterfront Park is relaxing and beautiful, and home to several boat tours that take you up and down the Potomac. This is, like, one of the only things to do in DC that doesn’t involve walking, so enjoy it while it lasts! 😂 I recommend the National River Tours, because they’re both affordable and informative, while giving you an alternative view of the monuments along the way. It does get cold on the river, so be prepared!
Georgetown is a great shopping and eating destination, so you can easily spend the rest of the afternoon here—just be aware that it is a bit on the pricey side, especially near the Potomac. If you’re craving some dessert, head over to Baked and Wired for the best cupcakes in town!
After a relaxing day meandering Georgetown, get hyped at U Street or H Street, two areas known for their food, history and nightlife.
So, maybe you had one too many to drink at the bar last night. That’s fine, since the first place you should go today is Ted’s Bulletin for brunch. They truly have the best eggs and hashbrowns I’ve ever eaten, along with boozy shakes (hair of the dog!) and homemade Pop-Tarts.
Afterwards, if you’re here on a weekend, the Eastern Market is waiting for you. This market has dozens of vendors and patrons, showing off food, art and other local products. The Eastern Market is one of the more off-the-beaten-path things to do in DC, and one of my favorite weekend outings. You’ll probably find a unique souvenir here!
The rest of the day is up to you. I recommend visiting another museum, going through the memorials again during the day, or even both if you have the time. These are truly the most unique things to do in DC, so make it count!
And that concludes day three! Follow this itinerary and you’ll have a busy but perfect trip to Washington, DC for 1, 2 or 3 days.
What’s your favorite DC museum? Which one do you want to see the most? Let me know in the comments!

First Recorded "Nipple Foot" Makes Medical History
Jul 19, 2011 11:11
An unamed 22-year-old woman has made medical history after doctors confirmed that she's got a third nipple on the bottom of her foot. Warning: Following images might be disturbing to some viewers.
That dark mound that might look like an overcooked wart is really in fact a hairy areola. This condition is clinically referred to as supernumerary breast tissue and affects between 1%-5% of the total population, but usually occurs above the waist. So the fact that it's ended up on the bottom her foot is truly remarkable to medical science:
"A 22-year-old woman sought medical care for a lesion in the plantar region of her left foot, a well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair. Microscopic examination of the dermis showed hair follicles, eccrine glands, and sebaceous glands.
Fat tissue was noted at the base of the lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of supernumerary breast tissue, also known as pseudomamma.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of supernumerary breast tissue on the foot. Supernumerary breast tissue, known as SBT, is rarely found beyond the mammary line. But they have been seen before on the back, shoulder, face, and even thigh."
The lady's tit foot doesn't hurt and it's been there since birth. We just think it's icky.

Out of all the things we carry in our cars, you probably never carry an extra phone. No, it doesn’t need to be a smartphone and it doesn't need to be anything that was released this century. In fact, an old Nokia 3310 or Sony Ericsson phone would be fine for this purpose. But why? Read more
