Exactly one month ago, just days after the Christmas holiday, I boarded a 14 hour flight from Houston to Tokyo, Japan. I have been extremely fortunate to have seen, traveled and photographed many far off destinations during my life, and year after year Tokyo, and Japan in general, have shown up on my “travel” bucket list. It was this year that I got to finally cross it off.
Many of you may not know and even after a face to face encounter, may not realize it, but I am of partial Japanese decent. One of my grandmothers is 100% Japanese and many members of my family including my mother either speak Japanese, live there currently or have lived there at some point in their life. Not only has Japan been on the “I NEED to go there” list for so long given how amazing it is to visit and photograph, but also due to the fact that it is my motherland.
I know several photographers that travel extremely light; one body, one lens, and nothing else. Other photographers take everything but the kitchen sink. I’m somewhere in the middle. I like to pack rather light, but I do enjoy a variety of cameras and like to be prepared. ALWAYS BE PREPARED! For this trip I was armed with a Hasselblad 501c/m medium format film camera, my usual 5D mark II travel outfit and my trusty iPhone 4s. Most of my images were personal pictures and casual snapshots. There were no premeditated themes or stories, just a random sampling of images from the nearly three-week adventure.
Since each camera has its advantages and disadvantages I do find myself juggling cameras on occasion, but for the most part I am pretty skilled at keeping a low profile, being discreet and swapping out cameras and lenses in busy places without being noticed. I’m more accustomed to travel destinations where it’s a necessity to keep expensive gear concealed, and while blending in and not being noticed is really second nature, it was rather unnecessary as everywhere I traveled around Japan I felt 100% safe, not to mention the fact that nearly everyone in Japan, tourists and locals alike, wore expensive DSLR’s around their shoulders like purses or backpacks. In some instances not having a large camera on your person would have made you stand out more than having one.
Everywhere I explored, from the crazy streets of Ginza, Shibuya, and Harijuku to the quiet and peaceful temples in Nara and Kyoto, I was completely amazed and blown away by everything around me. The history, the culture, the food and the landscapes were awe-inspiring. I tried my best to take it all in, and do it justice with my quick frames. It would take me months or years to truly take in everything the small island nation has to offer, however after my three week excursion I really felt like I had taken a lot in. My advice to anyone with the notion of traveling to Japan is to go for at least 2 weeks. There is so much to see and experience that a week or less would be an injustice.
In lieu of a long-winded, day-by-day travel account of my journey, here is a bulleted, non-chronological list of some of the things I did while I was there:
- Walked through the largest wooden building in the world, the Todai-ji temple in Nara. Dates back to the 700’s
- Fed the famous “bowing” Sika deer of Nara…with my mouth. They are regarded as messengers of the gods and roam freely
- Watched my hometown Houston Texans win their first ever playoff game, live, from Japan, at 6am
- Tried and failed to work numerous toilets and other bathroom related contraptions
- Watched This Is Spinal Tap (and about 30 other movies) on an airplane
- Got lost in the world’s busiest (and most confusing) train station, Shinjuku Station, Tokyo. 3.64 million people per day travel through the station. It is a madhouse
- Successfully navigated my way across the crazy intersections ofÂ Shibuya.
- Saw more plates of wax food than I can count
- Visited some distant relatives and experienced a complete language barrier
- Drove the winding roads in the snow-peaked mountains near the Mitake Valley and Ome, Japan, near the Tachikawa airfield where my grandfather was stationed during the war. (Also the site of my favorite photo ever)
- Had some of THE BEST bowls of Ramen at a roadside, hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the mountains
- Experienced the amazingness of Ghana Chocolate ice cream at a Japanese truck stop
- Saw the sun rise over Mount Fuji in a Shinkansen bullet train going almost 200mph
- Zig-zagged through a seemingly never-ending forest of bamboo
- Saw a palace made of gold. (the Kinkaku-ji temple in Kyoto)
- Slept in a traditional Japanese tatami room, complete with paper walls
- Felt extremely awkward while coughing when 90% of everyone wore masks
- Mastered the subway and railway systems
- Visited what HAD to be the largest camera store in the world (the Yodobashi electronics complex in Shinjuku)
- Experienced the splendor of heated floors and heated toilet seats
- Watched some of THE nuttiest Japanese television programs and saw a music video, shot in Houston, that I was present for, air on Japanese TV
- Had some of the best Japanese cuisine ever (home-cooked, in restaurants, and a couple of amazing street food fairs)
- Went to Garlic Jo’s and Shakey’s Pizza (I’m officially jealous of you, West Coast)
- Went to McDonald’s on yet another continent
- Experienced an earthquake
By the time I was on my return flight back to the States, I was definitely craving my precious Tex-Mex, and some BBQ and while it was good to be home, I can’t wait to go back. If the cost of living wasn’t so high I would consider re-locating in a heartbeat.

Scherzer breezes through 8, Tigers beat Rays 8-1
Question of the Day
DETROIT (AP) - Max Scherzer could have probably pitched one more inning after breezing through the first eight.
Detroit’s powerful offense made that unnecessary.
Scherzer allowed two hits and struck out seven, and the Tigers backed their star right-hander with three early homers in an 8-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.
With a big lead and Scherzer’s pitch count in triple digits, manager Brad Ausmus decided to go to the bullpen for the ninth inning, instead of sending his starter back to the mound for three more outs.
“I had it in me to be able to do it, and I had an extra day (of rest) coming up this next time,” Scherzer said. “But given the context of the game, it wasn’t the right decision for me to go back out there. It’s an 8-1 game. I’ve got my work in.”
Scherzer retired 23 of the last 24 hitters he faced, and Ian Kinsler, Victor Martinez and Torii Hunter all homered as part of a five-run first inning for the AL Central-leading Tigers, who have won 12 of 14.
Tampa Bay’s five-game winning streak came to an end.
Detroit leads second-place Kansas City by five games.
Scherzer (10-3) allowed a first-inning sacrifice fly by Evan Longoria, but that was the first of 10 straight hitters retired by the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. After allowing a single in the fourth, Scherzer retired another 13 in a row before he was pulled with a pitch count of 106. There would be no talking the manager into another inning. Ausmus met Scherzer in the dugout and shook his hand.
“He was done. I was just confirming to him that he was done,” Ausmus said. “It didn’t really matter what he said. That was going to be the end for him. There was no reason to send him back out at that point.”
Erik Bedard (4-6) allowed six runs and eight hits with two walks in two innings.
Miguel Cabrera had two doubles, a single, a walk and four runs for Detroit.
The Rays are still at the bottom of the AL East, and the improved starting pitching that fueled their recent run was nowhere to be seen Thursday. After a leadoff single by Austin Jackson in the first, Kinsler homered to put the Tigers ahead. Cabrera’s walk was followed by Martinez’s 21st home run.
Hunter added a solo shot with one out to make it 5-1.
It was Martinez’s first game back after he missed three with soreness in his side.

But what are Kanye’s thoughts on their growing family? “Kanye wants a soccer team full of kids,” a source close to the rapper told Hollywoodlife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He loves it, and he was the one who really convinced Kim to have a big family. It didn’t take to much convincing, though, because Kim is very used to big families. So that is why it works between Kim and Kanye because they always seem to be on the same page, especially in the parenting department. They are known for so much, but they want their kids to be their legacy — so the more the merrier.”

Allow by yourself an opportunity to change into a using tobacco journalist, completely ready to uncover an intriguing thriller. Ahead of lighting up your subsequent cigarette, inquire by yourself:
a. What positive capabilities do I believe smoking cigarettes provides me?
b. How will using tobacco assist or adjust the predicament?
c. What conditions make me smoke the most?
d. What emotions or emotions am I attempting to avoid or deny?
e. If I didn’t smoke correct now, what would I come to feel? How would I take care of that feeling?
f. What would I do with the strength that is freed up from cigarette smoking cessation?
The most essential factor in halting cigarette smoking is a genuine need to cease smoking. You were not a born smoker it really is something you discovered to do. Finding out new ways of coping with tension is attainable, as is finding out new methods to chill out and increase self-confidence stages. Use the motives presented earlier mentioned as clues to uncover the fundamental motives why you smoke. Then, in addition to creating a organization selection to end using tobacco, also make a company plan to handle your underlying needs. You’re not only kicking the behavior, you happen to be also creating a new harmony with your body, brain, and self!

Just the beginning of a quick idea for a T Clip substitute when you don't want to take things apart or buy the roll in type of tclips. Still needs a little tweaking, but overall a good working idea for a quick mount of fans,etc.
I printed this with a .35 nozzle and .25 layers. I didn't use support, but had to clean up the underside of the clip afterwards. Maybe support would be easier. I made the main hole a little small if you wanted to just use a screw in it, or you can use an M3 screw and a nut on the backside. Again, I made the nut area tight so it would hold the nut well, but still needs some fine tuning.
To install, just lock a nut underneath (or nothing if using a screw), place the tab into the extrusion, and turn 90 degrees while pressing in on the center a bit. It will lock in place when fully installed.

Basically, a casino is a public building where games of chance are played. It can be an indoor amusement park for adults, or it can be a place where you can find traditional gambling games. In general, a casino will have a variety of games, such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and video poker.
The casino’s business model is built on the concept of an edge. An edge is a statistical advantage that the casino has over the player. The casino edge can be very small, or it can be incredibly large.
The casino edge comes in the form of a commission or a rake. It can be as small as two percent, or it can be as large as 25 percent. This is called the “house edge” and it is a huge part of the casino’s profit.
Casinos use elaborate security measures to protect their patrons. They have cameras hung from the ceiling and employees who keep watch over games. There are security guards and pit bosses. These people monitor the games and keep an eye on any suspicious behavior.
There are also cameras in the ceiling that watch every window and doorway. These cameras can be adjusted to focus on suspicious patrons. This allows the casino to spot blatant cheating.
One of the dark sides of the casino is baccarat. Baccarat is a table game where the dealer deals cards. Traditionally, baccarat is a private club for the rich. However, it was illegal in the United States until the early 1990s.

Salambo discovering Ethiopia
Ethiopia has a long tradition of working with textiles, particularly for traditional clothing and household decoration. In my quest for discovering the city, I went on an (organised) tour of the textile and leather workshops of Addis. It was a good thing, as I would never have found them myself. When we talk about workshop here, we mean a small room with a couple of weaving or sewing machines, hidden at the back of a house or behind a corrugated iron fence. They are the small entrepreneurs of Ethiopia. Once we know who and where they are, the doors literally open. We can go back to order whatever we want to have made. Most workshops rely on this kind of small short-term individual orders, which is great for us individuals but not for their business. It enables them to survive but prevents them from reaching critical mass to develop further, and target the lucrative export markets.
On the morning of my visit, I met an experienced French textile designer, who is using her time living in Ethiopia to train these micro-entrepreneurs to produce for the high-quality export markets. She herself was designing material for Chanel (some of the fashion house’s trademark woven fabric), and is helping young businesses with strong potential to grow. In her view, many of the micro-entrepreneurs show great talent and potential, but lack some of the basic weaving techniques to produce more and quicker, and above all they don’t think export. They are able to weave high quality traditional material, but they struggle to think “outside the box” and expand their designs. So they can make very beautiful and colourful Gabis, the traditional Ethiopian shawl, but don’t move beyond. I actually went around the city looking for printed material for my own use, but was surprised to find an extremely limited selection. Only plain cotton can be found in various colours. Her objective is to help them diversify the type of material they weave to produce for the international fashion houses.
She is doing the same for designers working with leather, helping them to develop suitable lines for the export market. Once the level of production is adequate for export, they can apply for a government grant to help them further. But, she said most micro-entrepreneurs she is working with, will need at least another six months of training before they are ready. We hope it will work for them, and in the meantime, I’ll put in my own order before they get too busy!!

- ’90 Day Fiance’: Where Are The Season 6 Casts Today? - October 1, 2023
- ‘Counting On’: How’s 18th Child Jordyn-Grace Duggar In 2023? - October 1, 2023
- ’90 Day Fiance’: Where Are The Season 5 Casts Today? - October 1, 2023
Counting On stars John Duggar and Abbie Duggar have been silent on social media over the past few months. Fans have been telling them to return, but it seems that they’d prefer a private life at this point. According to some, it seems that Abbie and John no longer want to share their lives in public after Josh Duggar’s CSAM arrest. Fans also think that it’s one of the couple’s ways to step away from all the critics. However, it seems that the two can’t escape the fans. Apparently, Abbie was recently spotted with some of the Duggars during a wedding ceremony, and some think that Abbie has a baby bump.
Counting On: Abbie Duggar Spotted With Baby Bump?
Counting On fans took to Reddit to discuss the clip where Abbie Duggar and some of her in-laws were spotted dancing. According to some, it seems that Abbie has a growing baby bump. Others agree and didn’t hesitate the say that she might actually be pregnant. “Abbie is totally pregnant,” one person said.
Some also think that pregnancy might be one of the main reasons why Abbie and John Duggar have been silent on social media lately. However, others think that Abbie might not be pregnant as well. “I was thinking the same thing! Although to be fair, it could be she has a bit of baby belly left from carrying her child,” another person added.
Joy-Anna Duggar Praised For Glowing Look
Counting On fans also spotted Joy-Anna Duggar during the wedding ceremony dancing. According to some, Joy-Anna is looking happier and glowing. It’s also a rare sighting of Joy-Anna. Apparently, Joy-Anna hasn’t touched her social media for months, and fans are starting to worry. However, it seems that Joy-Anna is just living a private life after all. Some even speculated that she might be pregnant as well, and they’ve been preparing for a huge announcement similar to what Jill Duggar did.
Counting On: More Duggars Are Expecting This Year
Counting On fans are getting excited about the number of babies arriving in the family this year. One of which is Jill Duggar’s third son. Apparently, Jill suffered a miscarriage last year, and fans were also devastated by her loss. Due to this, fans are happy that she’s blessed with another child again and fans can’t wait to finally meet him. On the other hand, Katey Nakatsu has been making the fans excited lately. In a social media post, Jed Duggar revealed that it’s only a matter of time before his wife finally gives birth.
It’s clear to see that the Duggar family just keeps getting bigger. Meanwhile, fans are hoping that Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar will finally surface online and express their excitement about their upcoming grandkids.

AFL’s oldest club lurches from one disaster to another after just two weeks of the season.
Melbourne Demons boss Cameron Schwab has resigned from the beleaguered club in what could just be the start of the bloodletting.
After four years as the club’s chief executive officer, Schwab said he had to accept part of the responsibility for the trouble the Demons find themselves in.
Melbourne’s season from hell might be only two rounds old, but it was has been a bumpy rid so far.
Their two first games have resulted in losses totalling a staggering 227 points, and with club president Don McLardy not ruling others will be made to leave the club.
“Everyone in our football club is under extreme pressure. We’re all accountable for what’s happening at our club,” McLardy said last night after accepting Schwab’s resignation, two years into a four-year renegotiated contract.
Schwab, who spent 15 years at the Demons after starting as an office boy, said he accepted the decision that forced his hand yesterday.
“Am I a scapegoat?” he asked. “I know how the system works. My role as a CEO is to build a club which has an ultimate objective of winning games of footy.
“I’m four years in where we’ve lost by over 200 points in the last two games. And that’s an unforgiving situation. I knew the pressure would be on.
“This game makes decisions on people’s lives every day, and it just so happens we’re here talking about mine today.
“We’ll be talking about someone else’s tomorrow because it’s a performance-based industry.
“In terms of where the club is at the moment, it is difficult, the losses.
“And this club will bounce back, don’t worry about that.
“It’s a much better and stronger club than it’s representing itself at this time.”
The board will meet within the next 48 hours to decide a course of action for the rest of the season.

Droid 3 Is Motorola Milestone 3 In China
Although here in the United Kingdom we will not be seeing the UK version of the Motorola Droid 3, which would have been called the Motorola Milestone 3 as Motorola has seen fit not to release the Android device in the UK, this isn’t the case in China as they now have the Motorola Milestone 3.
Word has come down by way of the guys over at Engadget, by way of Droid-life that during China Telecom’s CDMA Summit, Motorola went official with a new smartphone, the XT883, a device being touted as the “third Milestone.”
The word is China will see the Motorola Milestone 3 also know as the Motorola Droid 3 over in the States, sometime in the summer, although it isn’t too clear whether the US or Chinese version will release first.
Spec wise the Motorola Milestone 3 delivers a 4-inch qHD touch screen, slide out 5-row QWERTY keyboard, Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, a dual core processor, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, 1080p video, and up to 32GB of built-in storage.
It’s still unclear just why Motorola decided not to release the Motorola Milestone 3 in the UK but it appears China will have no problem offering the handset to their Motorola faithful.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt to bring the story of the Ku Klux Klan to the big screen
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Edward Snowden in the Oliver Stone biopic in theatres now. © AFP / Robyn Beck
Published Saturday, October 15, 2016 1:22AM EDT
The film "K Troop" will examine the roots of the organization that advocated white supremacy and its conflict with the American army. Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and screenwriter Robert Schenkkan are working on the development of the feature to be produced by Amazon Studios.
Robert Schenkkan has been called on to write the screenplay for "K Troop." The playwright, television and screen writer has been acclaimed for writing such plays as "The Kentucky Cycle," which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1992, and "All The Way," which earned the Tony Award for best play in 2014. He also took charge of the subsequent TV adaptation of “All The Way” with Bryan Cranston in the role of U.S. President Lyndon Johnson which aired on HBO last May.
One of the writers behind the mini-series “The Pacific,” which was produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks," Robert Schenkkan has recently been in the limelight for his role as a screenwriter on "Hacksaw Ridge," a Mel Gibson-directed war film due for release on November 4.
In "K Troop," the writer will detail the rise of the Klu Klux Klan in the American South of the 1860s. Founded in Tennessee by a group of Confederate officers at the end of the American Civil war, the goal of the Klan was to protest against the abolition of slavery. A few years later, the organization was outlawed, when the U.S. Congress voted in favor of the 1871 Klan Act. During this period, the U.S. army fought the KKK in several Southern States, putting a stop to its criminal persecution of African-Americans.
The producer of the film Joseph Gordon-Levitt will also play the lead role of Lewis Merrill, an army officer in charge of an elite military unit that has been set up to combat the KKK. For the moment, the actor is the only member of the cast to have been chosen for the film which has yet to engage a director.

Absolutely amazing Valentines dinner, all 5 courses paired perfectly with amazing regional Italian wines! Food was out of this world, and service was top notch, this is our go to a few times a month but always first class!!
Absolutely one of the best pizzas you will find. We got the margherita as we like a lighter pizza. It was so good. Cooked perfectly, the sauce tastes great. Not many people appreciate these traditional lighter pies , but for those that do- this one is hard to beat.
Amazing ! First time visiting, took my wife and two younger boys. Everyone was very happy with the food. Definitely have to try this place if you haven't already.
Saturday lunch Started with their bread plate which is a fresh baked loaf served with a balsamic, olive oil, and pesto. I had the short rib PAPPARDELLE which was very tender with a great sauce. My daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo with meatballs. The fettuccine was very rich with a creamy sauce. My wife had the pumpkin ravioli and burata from the starters menu. The pumpkin ravioli was very flavorful and the burata was very fresh mozzarella and went perfect paired with the ravioli. For dessert we shared the 7 layer chocolate cake. Definitely recommend the dine in over take out but both are very tasty. 3 weeks back- Ordered take out as it was a Friday. We tried the Caprese toast as a starter, a unique method, not sure if due to the takeout as to not end up with soggy toast. Meatballs which as can be seen in the photo is a serving of 4. They had good flavour and we're not smothered in sauce, just a nice amount. The pizza crust cause some debate in the house as my wife loved it with the lightness of it and the layout of the toppings. I liked the lightness of it but would have liked a bit more toppings more towards the edge of the pizza. Overall it was a nice takeout order, will have to try dine in some time and update the review.
Absolutely delicious! Very highly recommend. Arugula salad, meatballs, gnocchi fritta, margarita pizza and drinks were outstanding. Service was 5 star. Great atmosphere. Food came out quickly and hot. Couldn’t ask for anything more. It won’t disappoint!

Ikea in Downtown Vienna?
Location: Europaplatz 1, 1050 Wien (AT)
Do we even want Ikea in our city centres? The Swedish home furnishings retailer has now realized that, in addition to its massive shopping warehouses on the outskirts of cities around the globe, even more sales can made inside the city. Of course, urban dwellers nowadays are spoiled: everything should be nearby and easily accessible without a car. So the new inner-city Ikea store in Vienna is based on the idea of the 15-minute city. The seven-storey building at Westbahnhof train station opens like an oversized set of shelves onto bustling urban space along Gürtel road. It is connected to public transport system, but here is no parking lot. Together with Viennese architectural firm querkraft, Ikea is doing all it can to rule out any possible criticism against their model project from the outset. Will it succeed?
We feature this project in Detail 11.2021.

Chancellor Philip Hammond is planning a “big, bold” Budget with plenty of items aimed at pleasing young people, in a bid to win some of the youth vote back from Labour.
A Treasury source confirmed to City A.M. that Hammond has been seeking advice on addressing intergenerational fairness, with a focus on taxes.
Among his plans for the Autumn Budget, which will be unveiled on 22 November, are a potential writing off of student loans and a move towards building on the Green Belt, the Sunday Times has reported.
The chancellor is also said to be looking at lower tax rates for younger people, which would be paid for by slashing pension tax relief for better off workers, who are usually older.
His attempt at enticing young voters back to the Conservative party comes after a higher youth vote gave Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour a boost at the last General Election.
Hammond’s bombastic Budget plans have been revealed at a time of crisis for the chancellor, with a number of senior Tories calling for him to be sacked after comments he made about Brexit creating uncertainty in the UK economy.
“Philip has said that we have to have a radical budget, something that is a big offer to the nation,” a senior government source told the Sunday Times.
“It means memorable stuff that changes thinking and changes peoples’ futures. Pre-conference there was very much a view that it had to be a safety first budget. Now the view has galvanised that this budget has got to be big, it’s got to be powerful, it’s got to be revolutionary.
“Saying it’s got to be brave is really understating it. People are very clear that this is basically the last chance.”

Punters let loose at wildest party in the outback
IF YOU head to Birdsville races expecting the glitz and glam of Melbourne's Spring racing carnival, you may want to re-pack your suitcase.
Sure it's dubbed the 'Cup of the Outback', and yes it does have a Fashions on the Field event and a VIP marquee - but this race meet is about as far from civilised as they come.
But as the punters who drive thousands of kilometres to reach the dusty track each year will tell you, it's the rule of 'whatever goes' that makes this outback race meet all the more popular each and every year.
At the first day of the annual racing weekend - which is in its 136th year - the thoroughbreds thundered down the dusty racetrack as punters dressed in thongs and heels plodded through the turnstiles.
Set on the edge of the Simpson Desert, and drawing more than 5000 racegoers from far and wide, the Birdsville races are the biggest event to hit the small town of around 100 locals each year. With golden cans in hand, it's hard to miss anyone not holding a tinny of Great Northern or a plastic cup of sun-warmed champagne.
But while some come for the horses, the weekend is equally famous for its bizarre fashions and trackside frivolities.
Dressed in Where's Wally costumes, horse heads and even a character from Shrek - the Fashions competition drew hundreds in to the spectator stands - each gawking at the ridiculousness on the field.
"I decided to come as Princess Fiona because my kids love the movie," the runner up in the novelty Fashions competition told news.com.au.
"So Princess Fiona has been camping out. It took a lot of effort this morning to do the green paint and then to put the costume on as well as the wig and the ears. The green paint only goes up to the dress because I was not going to go up all that way.
"I'm keen for a shower I just hope it all comes off."
Debbie from Macleay in NSW, who spent two weeks making her way from Birdsville, decided to enter the fashions event dressed like Australia.
With flags as fascinators and royal blue pumps, she said a spare pair of shoes was vital to see out the big race day.
"I bought a pair of spare blowout shoes (to replace the heels)," she explained. "Why not."
As the temperature crept into the mid-twenties, merchandise stalls reported selling more stubbie holders and singlets than anything else while cowboy hats, riding boots and thongs were the most popular attire.
"It's great to see everyone get involved," Jim, who had been coming to the races for three years said. "Makes for a good laugh."
Western Queensland's richest race meet will continue on Saturday, bringing the total draw to 33 trainers, up from 19 in 2017, and 22 jockeys up from 15 in 2017.
According to the North West Star, the field is dominated by Mount Isa with seven local trainers fielding horses across 13 races. Female trainers have a strong presence at this year's event, with Rockhampton's Kim McGovern and Darwin's Tayarn Halter leading the women's charge.
Gary Brook, Vice President, Birdsville Race Club said they were thrilled to welcome the biggest field ever.
"It is testament to how this event continues to grow year-on-year," Mr Brook said.
"The Birdsville Races have become not only a bucket list experiences for racegoers and travellers, but trainers and jockeys alike.
"And with record-prize money on the line and new punting and broadcasting deals in place for the 2018 event, it comes as little surprise that the field has jumped up a notch."

This paper presents a novel pulse switching protocol framework for ultra light-weight wireless network applications. The key idea is to abstract a single Ultra Wide Band (UWB) pulse as the information switching granularity. Pulse switching is shown to be sufficient for on-off style event monitoring applications for which a monitored parameter can be modeled using a binary variable. Monitoring such events with conventional packet transport can be prohibitively energy-inefficient due to the communication, processing, and buffering overheads of the large number of bits within a packet's data, header, and preambles for synchronization. The paper presents a joint MAC-routing protocol architecture for pulse switching with a novel hop-angular event localization strategy. Through analytical modeling and simulation-based experiments it is shown that pulse switching can be an effective means for event networking, which can potentially replace the traditional packet transport when the information to be transported is binary in nature.

House begins work on water bill
Amanda Bayhi | October 23, 2013
The House Rules Committee yesterday made in order 24 amendments to H.R. 3080, also known as the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA). As part of their work on the legislation, members will consider the amendments.
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) has promoted WRRDA using a video and a Twitter town hall.
Work on the bill will consist of members debating and passing a rule for WRRDA before considering the 24 amendments.
H.R. 3080 would only authorize waterways spending. The congressional appropriations committees would still need to approve funding.
House leaders told The Hill that the last votes are expected around 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. Wednesday.

A few weeks ago my sister asked me to make her a dog sweater, not for HER but her dog. Since I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect project. My sewing is elementary. My hand stitching is even worse. Still, I like the process, the hum of the machine. The challenge of learning something new. Perhaps I’ve been watching too much Project Runway and browsing too much Pinterest. Either way, I feel enabled every time I walk into the fabric store. I proudly strut back to the fabric section at JoAnn. I CAN make this work, I don’t need Tim Gunn. I just need a number because no matter what time of day you head to Joann on the weekend there is always 425 people in front of you. I picked out my flannel foxes and a matching complimentary pink liner color. I threw some velcro in the cart and headed to the check out.
After arriving home I set out to sketch my pattern. I use newspaper and a sharpie to draw out whatever pattern I find. You can buy an actual pattern online or in stores. I prefer the cheap route. I make my own, out of newspaper. I started out trying to copy a pattern I found. It wasn’t working. I knew that my dog had a raincoat. I could trace it and make the basic idea of it work. I folded in half and lined it up on the fabric. The nice thing about using a pattern. You can test it on your dog before you cut the fabric. It helps to bribe them with treats. You can also get caught up on the stories you ignored while grabbing out the coupons from your Sunday paper. Yes, I get the Sunday paper for the sole purpose of coupons.
After cutting your pattern, unfold your fabric. Lay this layer over your liner fabric and cut. If you are using a print, turn it so the print is facing the floor, as I have in this picture. Then pin your fabric together. Leave a hole to pull the fabric through to the right side up. Then sew the pieces together.
Flip the fabric to the right side. Sew your hole shut. Now bribe your dog to let you test the sweater sizing. You will need to figure out where to attach the velcro pieces to put the sweater on and attach. Looking at the picture above the top of the sweater is the top facing to the top of the screen. The round part at the bottom is the area that goes near the tail. The two pieces pointing out are the ones that come together under the dogs stomach. If your dog is a little more busty or round, make that part larger. Otherwise you can do what I did and add a bit of fabric to attach it. Determine where to put your velcro or button. It really doesn’t matter what you use to get it on and off your dog. I used velcro because it’s easy and I am really bad at sewing buttons.
After you attach the velcro your sweater is good to go! Your dog will enjoy a stylish sweater all winter long.
The sweater took me around 2 hours to make between the pattern, sewing and hand stitching. The cost was less than $5. The yard of flannel fabric was on sale at JoAnn for 2.79/yd. I used less than half a yard between the two prints. The velcro cost me 2.50 after a coupon. I still have plenty of velcro left. Depending on what type of fabric you pick out will determine your cost. L’ady doesn’t enjoy additional layers until the temperature drops below 20 degrees. That time is quickly approaching but until then it will go in her box of items.

Sky Betting and Gaming announced today it will terminate its UK affiliate programme by the beginning of October, amid mounting regulatory pressure from the UK's Gambling Commission.
A spokesperson for Sky Betting and Gaming told iGaming Business: “This difficult decision has been taken to give us more control of our marketing outputs and standards to ensure that we can continue to meet the changing regulatory requirements in our sector.”
The Gambling Commission has recently signalled it is taking a tougher stance on operators’ liability for the advertising of their affiliates.
In June Lottoland agreed a settlement with the Commission to pay £150,000 to good causes, in part due to an advert run by one of its affiliates, MyVoucherCodes. In May, the Commission fined BGO £300,000, again partly due to three of its affiliates.
Under the terms of its contracts, Sky is required to give affiliates notice of its decision and it said it has now done so. “We have notified all the companies that will be affected by this decision and would like to sincerely thank them for all their support and hard work in helping to grow and promote Sky Betting and Gaming’s brands since we launched in 2000. We will continue to work with our affiliates for the next 30 days and a dedicated team is in place to respond to all enquiries.”
After the 30-day notice period, affiliates that are part of the network must cease promoting Sky Betting and Gaming websites to their customers and also remove all links to the platforms and other intellectual property by the named date.
In addition, Sky Betting and Gaming’s ‘Affiliate Hub’ portal will stop operating on October 2, with the final payment cycle for affiliates to commence at the end of September.
All outstanding balances will be paid into accounts on or around October 20.
Sky Bet is unlikely to stop working with all affiliates following the closure of the programme however, with 20% stakeholder Sky also owning leading odds comparison portal Oddschecker.
When contacted for comment by iGaming Business, Guy Harding, head of commercial, said: “We’ve not been a ‘traditional’ affiliate for many years. The Oddschecker product, along with the high level of collaborative partnerships we offer our partners means we are very much unaffected by today’s announcement. We welcome Sky Bet’s actions today and believe it to be a positive step forward for the industry.”

Image3_Hydroxy-Safflower Yellow A Alleviates Osteoporosis in Ovariectomized Rat Model by Inhibiting Carbonic Anhydrase 2 Activity.TIF
Background: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Hydroxy-safflower yellow A (HSYA) on rat’s osteoporosis and explore its potential mechanism of action.
Methods: Bilateral ovariectomized female rats (OVX) were used to establish a postmenopausal rat model of osteoporosis. HSYA was given as an intervention, and estradiol was used as a positive control. The levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium ion (Ca2+), and inorganic phosphorus (IP) were used to detect bone loss. Three months after modeling, the rats were sacrificed and the rat’s ovaries, kidneys, tibia, and femur were used to calculate the organ index. The bone marrow of the femur of the rats was stained with Giemsa staining. The femur strength of rats was measured by INSTRON. The degree of osteoporosis was detected by pathological staining after decalcification of bone tissue. Predicted the main targets of HSYA in combination with bioinformatics, and the proteins related to osteoclast differentiation were detected in combination with western blotting. The effect of HSYA on the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts was observed.
Results: The Giemsa staining and serum test results showed that the operation was successful and affected bone metabolism. In the bone strength test, HSYA significantly increased the maximum threshold of femoral load in rats. Pathological examination showed that tibial cartilage, trabecular bone, and cortex significantly increased after treatment with HYSA. The number of osteoblasts increased while the number of osteoclasts decreased—elevated levels of type I and III collagen. Autodock was used for molecular docking of potential targets of HSYA. qPCR and western blot were used to show that the expression levels of CA2 and osteoclast differentiation-related proteins were significantly decreased after HSYA treatment. Cell level results showed that HSYA could inhibit the activity of osteoclasts and the ability of RAW264.7 cells to differentiate into osteoclasts.
Conclusion: HSYA can inhibit the differentiation and formation of osteoclasts by inhibiting the expression of CA2 and relieving osteoporosis symptoms in OVX rats.

Motherhood has many rewards, but as many women already know, they aren’t usually the financial kind.
A new and comprehensive look at how much money 25- to 44-year-olds earn finds that women of that age earn less than men worldwide, and the gap between men’s and women’s pay grows considerably wider when just comparing moms and dads.
The Organization for Cooperation and Development looked at the wage gap among men and women in its 34 member countries. On average across the countries, they found that median earnings for women who worked full-time were 16 percent less than men working full-time.
That’s actually 4 percentage point improvement over 2000, the researchers said. Most of the improvement came between 2000 and 2005.
The report found that the gap grew much wider for people in their mid-20s through mid-40s who also were raising children ages 15 and under. Median wages for moms in that situation were 22 percent less than dads in that situation.
For people who weren’t raising children, there also was a wage gap, but it was much smaller. Women of that age without kids made 7 percent less than dads without kids.
In a handful of countries, including Ireland and Australia, the women without kids were actually earning slightly more, on average, than the men without kids.
The comparisons were among full-time workers, but the report noted that women – and especially mothers - are much more likely to work part-time. Many women choose to work part-time so they can have more time for family, but the report noted that it’s tougher to find secure, career-track employment at a part-time job.
In a statement accompanying the report’s release, OECD officials argued that things like high child care costs are keeping some women from working as many hours as they might like, or from pursuing certain careers. They said that, in turn, could end up stifling some economic growth.
“Closing the gender gap must be a central part of any strategy to create more sustainable economies and inclusive societies,” OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said in a statement.
Worldwide, many women have risen to positions of great power in recent years.
In Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is one of the world’s most powerful politicians. And in the United States women including Yahoo! Chief Executive Melissa Mayer have come to command a lot of sway among business leaders.
Still, most top positions are still held by men, and the OECD report noted that the wage gap was wider, on average, at the top of the pay scale.
In the United States, the gap between men’s and women’s earnings has remained little changed even as wages have fallen for everyone because of the recession and weak recovery. The median earnings for women who worked full-time and year-round were 77 cents for every dollar a man earned in 2011, according to the latest Census data.
Wage gap starts right after college, research shows


After completing the warmest year on record, New York City enters the new year on a chilly note.
According to a Weather Journal analysis, 2012 was the warmest year in city history. No year has been as warm since modern weather record-keeping began at Central Park (1869), and there’s compelling evidence that perhaps no year since the city’s founding in the 1620s has been as warm, either.
The local National Weather Service is in the midst of running the official numbers and will likely confirm the new record on Wednesday.
The new record comes as climate change edges to the fore of city politics after a year in which superstorm Sandy motivated renewed discussions about local adaptations to increasingly extreme weather. Eight of the 10 warmest years in official city records have occurred since 1990. At least 31 other cities in at least 17 other states also tied or broke their all-time records, including the United States as a whole, according to a report from the Weather Channel.

Obesity is, in part, a result of positive energy balance or energy intake exceeding physiological needs. Excess energy intake is determined by a series of food choices over time. These choices involve both motivational and executive function processes. Problems arise when there is excessive motivation to eat and low impulse control, a situation we have termed reinforcement pathology. Motivational and executive function processes have also been implicated in the development of drug dependence and addiction. In this review we discuss the application of reinforcement pathology to obesity, and implications of this approach for obesity treatment.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by frede Good quality back flow damper
I used this to prevent backflow of cold air in a solar space heater. Product worked fine. The way it is made, there is a small space for air to back flow next to the hinge. Would be nice if that was not the case, but it is really no big deal. Opens and closes very without a sound.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by RetEngineer Vent Damper Does What It Is Supposed To
This galvanized sheet metal fabrication for a vent damper to prevent cold air from leaking back into vents such as bathroom forced air vents is a good design (I'm an engineer) that uses gravity rather than springs to reclose the damper wings. So, proper orientation with gravity in a vertical position is critical to a proper install. The damper half-rounds are held to the center cross-strut with fabric strips that appear to be synthetic material and the longevity of those fabric strips may be in question, but if they hold up, the only other longevity issue is the foam strip used for the seal ring that also serves to quiet the closing of the half-round damper wings.
I purchased this size (6" OD) to match a fan that would fit into an existing recessed light hole cut into the horizontal sheetrock in a bathroom. I use a reducer on the top of this damper to neck down from 6" to 3" to increase velocity and save on vent piping costs. But, I have a limited vertical space to work in between the top of the fan cage and some 2x4 bracing over the drop down I am working in. So, one of those cape-type dampers will simply not work in the space I have to work in. Yes, the damper wings do not fully come together in the open position, which does hinder flow somewhat, but not enough to be of concern when reducing from 6 inches to 3 inches further up.
I would recommend against spring-closure type dampers unless you cannot mount this type of damper vertically to use gravity alone to close the damper wings. Invariably, springs and the hinges of the wings will get gummed up with lint and other stuff like hair spray in a bathroom environment and damper operation becomes compromised. This damper is a good choice for vertical installations where space limits the use of cape-type dampers or you are minimizing the cost of such installations.
