"I don't follow trends. I'm just not into what everyone else is wearing. I have my own look," says Katy Perry.
S 2. Silly Banz. For awhile, everyone's wrists were covered with these colorful bands. When you laid them flat, they would bounce back into a shape. Kids traded them with each other. Many celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, even wore them.

5. Tie Dye. It is always fun to mix colors around and come up with a new design.
6. Duct Tape. This common household item quickly transformed into a fun, colorful, new concept. People started to cover their notebooks and some even made wallets
7. Suspenders. This forgotten style recently came back. Men and women are showing off the old new look.
8. Cartilage Piercing. This unique piercing is one that everyone loves.
9. Combat Boots used to be the new style. They used to represent strength and used to be really stylish.

9. Out-of-Whack Androgens
Androgens are a group of hormones that both men and women produce, which are primarily testosterone and androstenedione. These hormones regulate the function of the reproductive tract, bones, kidneys, liver and muscle. If androgen levels are too high (which is the most common androgen issue) it may cause polycystic ovarian syndrome, acne, loss of head hair, or hair growth in strange places (such as the chin or upper lip). If androgen levels are too low, it may cause loss of head and pubic hair, and loss of libido. This is common in women transitioning into menopause.

According to Palestinian sources, two men were shot dead during an Israeli military operation near Nablus in the West Bank. There are also said to have been three injuries. This was preceded by an exchange of fire between armed Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.
Another deadly clash broke out in the West Bank. A 19-year-old and a 32-year-old were shot in the head, the Ministry of Health in Ramallah said on Saturday. Three other people were injured, including a woman in her 50s. She was hit by multiple bullets, according to paramedics.
According to the Israeli military, soldiers on site searched a hiding place for suspects who are said to have planned attacks. Explosives, firearms and other military equipment were confiscated. During the operation, armed Palestinians opened fire on the soldiers. Then it was shot back.
Over 100 dead since the beginning of the year in the Nablus region
Nablus is considered a stronghold of militant Palestinians. Deadly clashes with the Israeli military regularly occur in the region. The security situation in Israel and the West Bank has long been extremely tense. Since the beginning of the year, at least 110 Palestinians have been shot dead there during Israeli military operations, confrontations or after their own attacks. During the same period, 17 Israelis, one Ukrainian and one Italian were killed in attacks.
Accident or targeted killing? Why did Al Jazeera reporter Akleh have to die?
Israel conquered the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War. The Palestinians, on the other hand, are calling for the areas to be a state of their own – with East Jerusalem as the capital.

NCLEX Review: Blood Gases
On the NCLEX exam, you will be tested on how well you know acid-base balance and blood gases. Acid-base balance is critical in maintaining homeostasis in the body, and an imbalance can lead to illness or death. In this NCLEX review video, you will learn: how to tell when blood is acidic or alkaline, what causes acidosis and alkalosis, what arterial blood gas (ABG) is, how pH is the most important component of ABG analysis, what normal values you will need to memorize, how to analyze ABG values (shown through examples), and “ROME” for acid-base imbalances.

But Charlie Bean says companies remain nervous about trying to grow because of the state of the global economy and depressed consumer spending levels.
Mr Bean, a member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee, stood by the Bank's decision to keep interest rates low and inject £75bn into the economy through a second wave of quantitative easing, in a bid to get consumers and business spending again.
The finance chief told the MEN he thought inflation would “come down sharply” in 2012, easing the squeeze on household finances.
He added he and his MPC colleagues had feared unemployment could have soar even higher than its current level when the economy started retracting in 2009.
And Mr Bean backed calls for the government to bring forward capital investment programmes, in order to give the UK economy a boost.
He was in the north west, during which time he visited a series of businesses across a range of sectors, as well as meeting trade groups, including the manufacturing body the EEF and pro.manchester.
Mr Bean said: “Inevitably, different businesses have slightly different stories to tell and some have niches that mean they are doing particularly well at the moment and others are struggling but the general picture that emerges is one of relatively weak growth and growth that his slowed in the last few months.
“ For businesses that are facing the consumer, it has been because of weak consumer demand and a driver has been a squeeze on income that we have seen.
“ Also, there is increased nervousness around what is happening on the other side of channel, which makes businesses more inclined to put investment plans on hold, to see how things pan out.”
Mr Bean said stimulating the economy was a “chicken and egg” situation, with businesses needing customers to start spending in order the get the confidence to expand.
Meanwhile, while the public needs businesses to grow and increase employment in order to get more money into the economy.
He added: “As far as investment goes, businesses are not likely to invest unless they feel the demand is there. So, we probably do need some slightly stronger consumption to help generate the extra demand to get investment going.”
Mr Bean said businesses generally had strong cash reserves at the moment, but added: “The main reason for the corporate surplus is that they are not spending it.”
He said: “Generally speaking, it is fair to say that the corporate sector is in a reasonable good financial state and that has helped to make it more resilient and meant unemployment hasn't risen as much as it could have done.”
Asked how long interest rates would remain at a record low of 0.5 per cent, Mr Bean said it was “difficult to time” but added there was “light at the end of the tunnel”, due to the fact the VAT rise and hike in global commodity prices will have less of an impact next year.
And he backed Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King's claim earlier this week there will be “sharp falls in the inflation rate” next year.

I spent much of last month feverishly working onSCOREGolf’s annual equipment guide and I must tell you, mybrain feels as though it’s been through a high-pressure forgingprocess of its own.
Let me explain how things work this time of year. Majormanufacturers and some not-so-major manufacturers ship us boxesupon boxes of the year’s latest offerings and it’s my job to helpsort through them all and determine forged blades fromcast clubs, composites from titanium,graphite from steel, and new clubs from thosethat have been lying around the office since the Mulroneyadministration.
Some might read this and think I have the best job in the world,but bear in mind I never hit one shot with all the fancy equipmentyou read about in our May issue. Having said that, I know all thereis to know about each and every club and my brain is moreperimeter weighted with technical jargon than a NASAengineer.
Most of the time I just wanted to escape to my car, decline mycavity back and fall asleep to the soothing sounds oftungsten, I mean tunes. But I couldn’t of course. The daysthat just passed are hectic here, and as those around the officeknow, any questions asked of me during this time will usuallybounce right back to them, my coefficient ofrestitution being at its limit.
And so I spent the first few days of this annual extravaganzaslicing open boxes and pulling out tightly packedclubs, knowing the same consideration likely won’t be placed intopacking the boxes back up (yes, we send all clubs provided back).Then an inventory of the carbon metal matrix of clubs istaken and the writing process begins. During this time I have tokeep a PING eye out for wandering sales staff with toomuch time on their hands. They like to check out the latest geartoo and angle for what might be best for their game. Iusually let them hang out for a couple of minutes before I grabthem by the hosel and kickpoint them back totheir side of the building.
Then the arduous task of gathering information about each club fromwebsites and brochures begins. This is the toughest part because itrequires sitting at a computer hour after hour, my centre ofgravity staying very low to the ground. I let nary asole interfere with me during this time, choosing toflex my muscle back if anyone comes knocking,especially when I find myself in a groove.
This can be a very tedious process though, and it’s important tomake sure every club is cast in a different light, eventhough many of the clubs’ characteristics are quite similar.Trajectory and ball flight are used equally asare maximize and optimize, dampen anddeaden, true and pure. Oh, for the loveof synonyms.
Once the writing is finished, the art director takes over. Heshoots every club and the two of us gather to ensure hisphotos maxfli, I mean match up, to the copy provided. Itcan be enough to make your head spin after a while, butafter a lot of back and forth we come to grips with whathas to be done and a gun metal finished equipment guide isproduced.
Once the magical moment of inertia arrives and the projectis completed, the final copy has to be closely inspected for errorsand typos, as putting something like this together isnever a stepless transition. But once everything isironed out, those involved can breath a sigh of relief andhop next door to the pub for a pint and maybe a sandwedge. Ugh. I hate that joke.

California’s fertile land and the waters of the Pacific Ocean yield an abundance of ingredients for San Francisco’s chefs. Local wines, fish, and produce are but a few of the products available. This bounty is matched by a diversity of cooking styles and international cuisines that provide an enriching interchange
of ideas and cooking methods.
As you watch the chefs at work and read through their recipes, you will sense their infatuation with food. Their love of cooking is evident in the subtlety of their movements, in their sensual pleasure while handling the food, and in their continuing efforts to perfect their art.
One note regarding the recipes: The number of servings and the preparation time are listed for each dish. Certain recipes also include the phrase note elapsed time. This indicates that advance preparation is needed. Always read the entire recipe before planning your dinner.
GREAT CHEFS OF SAN FRAN CISCO represents thirteen master cooking classes featuring outstanding chefs from the San Francisco Bay Area. Each program includes the preparation and presentation of a complete menu, including the chef’s wine preference. The series was designed both to instruct the home cook in a wide range of cooking techniques and to provide the rare opportunity to observe working chefs practicing their art in their own kitchens. GREAT CHEFS OF SAN FRANCISCO brings to television for the first time the genius and artistry of San Francisco’s cuisine.

The new statue of President Theodore Roosevelt, still under wraps, arrived… (Bebeto Matthews / Associated…)
More than a century ago, Teddy Roosevelt went on a really big camping trip that forever changed America.
In 1903 he visited Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Canyon and slept under the stars in Yosemite with John Muir, who pressed him to preserve the land of big granite walls as a national park. By the time he left office, Roosevelt had created five national parks, 18 national monuments, 51 federal bird sanctuaries and added millions of acres to the national forests.
His actions earned him the title "conservation president," and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City plans a yearlong celebration of Roosevelt's green legacy. For starters, the building's Theodore Roosevelt Memorial, dedicated in 1936, and its rotunda have been restored and will reopen Oct. 27, the former president's 154th birthday.
The memorial adds a new statue and a bronze plaque with a scene of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and a timeless snippet from one of his speeches: "There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country."
As part of the $40-million project, the museum also has restored the Hall of North American Mammals — touching up colors of the fur on the taxidermied specimens, dusting off leaves on the greenery and restoring some of the background paintings — and upgraded the building's Central Park West entrance.
General admission to the museum costs $19 for adults and $10.50 for children. For more information, contact the museum online or call (212) 769-5100.

Also available are ice cream pies, such as a vanilla and malted milk chocolate topped with caramel and salted peanuts on a chocolate cookie bottom, by the slice or whole.
Pints are $8.95, a small pie is $8.95, a large pie is $35, and a pie slice is $4.50.


“What do you think about Making a Murderer?” By the end of December I had to answer that question several times a week. The answer was, of course, “I don’t know.” I hadn’t really planned to watch another criminal trial documentary.
I don’t own the remote, though. I bought the remote. Paid for it with my own money, even. I don’t get to touch it in any substantive way other than passing it over to The Boss, though.
Now I’ve seen the whole series. People are still asking me what I think about it. I still don’t know if he is “really innocent” or guilty. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter.
“But I know he’s guilty/innocent because…”
Would you be willing to bet your life on either his guilt or innocence? Seriously. Are you that convinced of either one? Based on the Making A Murderer series and the subsequent internet discussion, can you really know?
Sure, his DNA was in the car. Her DNA was on a bullet. Her bones were on his property. That all screams guilt. In a vacuum it’s enough to convict, for sure.
On the other hand the lab tech broke protocol to go out of her way and say it was Avery’s DNA. She admit it was contaminated (with her own DNA). The key, the blood, the bones… there were weird things about all of it. How reliable is the evidence, really? There are enough questions to find him not guilty.
Maybe he was framed. But, just because he was framed doesn’t mean he’s innocent, right?
If you are absolutely convinced of one verdict without any reservation you’re not taking an objective look at all of the evidence. Here’s the thing, though: that doesn’t even matter. That’s not the major takeaway from the movie. It doesn’t matter if Steven Avery is actually guilty or not.
The system isn’t designed to figure that out. It doesn’t even try. Trials don’t revolve around “truth” or “actual innocence.” They revolve around things like “reasonable doubt” and “hearsay exceptions.”
This isn’t the system you want…
Shocking as the documentary may make it seem, there wasn’t a whole lot in there that was out of the ordinary. Witnesses taking the stand and saying things that weren’t in the police reports? Pretty standard. Cops “missing” major evidence only to “discover” it later? Not unusual. “Accomplice” of questionable intellectual capacity (or, just as often, a former cell mate) popping up late in the game to nail the coffin shut? Standard practice.
Did I ever tell you about the time an officer in one of my cases wrote a report two years after the offense (and one week before trial) to directly combat pre-trial motions I’d filed? Or the time an evidence tech claimed he couldn’t find one fingerprint of anybody anywhere on a 15 year old car, but could find DNA of my client? Or the time, years after the offense, the victim “remembered” things at trial that weren’t in any of her previous statements (including the recorded ones)? Or the time a video was inadmissible hearsay when we wanted it in but an “admission” when they wanted it in?
The Making a Murderer series is a window in to the skewed, ugly, tilted world of the criminal justice system. What you are seeing isn’t out of the ordinary. What you are seeing is the system working exactly as designed.
…It’s the system you deserve.
This is the system that condemned Rolondo Cruz and Gary Gauger to death on our behalf. It’s a system that looked like this decades ago (when there weren’t cameras everywhere) and will likely still work like this decades from now. It’s the system the people want even if they won’t admit it. If it wasn’t, it would have changed long ago. There is nothing new here.
That’s why it doesn’t matter of Steven Avery is guilty. What matters is whether or not you’re willing to let Steven Avery off even if he is guilty. If you can’t stomach that- if you’re not willing to let somebody subject to this process free no matter their guilt- then you don’t really want another process.
If you’re not going to let Steven Avery go so that factually innocent people aren’t dealing with the same mess, then what you see in Making A Murderer is the process you endorse. Can you live with that?
Generally speaking, I already know the answer. We’ve seen the system under the microscope plenty of times in the past. We’ve been outraged by “confessions” from people with low IQ’s and upset with questionable police investigations. By and large, nothing in the process has changed.
Are you willing to let Steven Avery walk even if he’s actually guilty, or are you content with the current state of the justice system?
It can’t be both.

CEU Press are pleased to announce that the New York Public Library (NYPL) is a new member of their Opening the Future (OtF) programme. The Library was founded on the ideals of free and open access to knowledge and opportunity for everyone, and has provided essential access to books and information for more than a century.
NYPL has chosen to sign up to the Library Selection Package which contains 50 books selected by an independent panel of librarians on the history of the Central and Eastern European region, culture, communism, politics, and transitions to democracy. This selection is a cross-section of the other three packages and represents those CEU Press titles that might be of interest to any library across a number of disciplines.
Their membership fee allows CEU Press to make new books open in ways that do not burden authors that don’t have research grants to pay BPCs. The Press has already published 10 titles all fully funded by the programme and its generous Opening the Future members, with more in the production pipeline.
CEU Press will only use the library’s membership fees to produce new (and otherwise unfunded) frontlist titles in an open access format. CEU Press is a leading publisher in its field and is widely recognised as the foremost English-language university press dedicated to research on Central and Eastern Europe and the former communist countries.
If you would like to see how your library might similarly enhance your digital collection of eBooks by becoming a member of Opening the Future, you can read more about the programme and benefits on the website.

PATH walks away with $5M Cox donation
- Maria Saporta, Contributing Writer
Key donors are increasing their investment in the PATH Foundation, a metro Atlanta developer of multiuse trails for more than 20 years.
Topping the list is the James M. Cox Foundation, which is donating $5 million towards the PATH Foundation’s current $11.45 million campaign. It is the largest gift that the Cox Foundation has made to the organization. The Cox Foundation, and Sarah and Jim Kennedy, chairman of Cox Enterprises, have supported PATH since its earliest days.
“From a local perspective, it’s my favorite charity,” Kennedy said in a telephone interview. “I believe so strongly in what PATH does. Not only are we willing to write a check, we are willing to work for PATH. And it’s so rewarding. Once we get the trails built, they are self-supporting.”
For this campaign, the PATH Foundation also has secured a $1 million grant from the Kendeda Fund. And on April 3, the board of the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation approved a $3 million gift to the organization.
“From our standpoint, we feel very good about our previous investments in PATH,” said Russ Hardin, president of the Woodruff Foundation. “PATH has made good on every investment we have made.”
In its 20-year history, PATH has built 170 miles of multiuse trails in the greater Atlanta region. Some of its signature projects include the Silver Comet Trail, the Chastain Park Trail and the Arabia Mountain Trail. The trails have become destinations for people to ride bicycles, walk, skateboard or run.
To meet the goal of this current campaign, PATH needs to raise another $1.8 million by the end of the year.
Ed McBrayer, PATH’s executive director, said this current campaign will result in the development of another 34 miles of multiuse trails. The $11.45 million campaign is expected to leverage $24 million in public funds, of which $17 million already has been “secured.”

The Indianapolis Colts reportedly will host Arizona State linebacker Kyle Soelle for a top-30 visit ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
There has been quite a bit of interest in the position from the Colts’ end this offseason following the departure of Bobby Okereke in free agency. The Colts often like to use their top-30 visits on prospects who may have fallen through the cracks during the pre-draft process.
According to Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston, the Colts will host Soelle for a visit Tuesday.
Arizona State @ASUFootball linebacker Kyle Soelle (4.57 speed) visits #Colts on Tuesday and has a visit with #Commanders per a league source https://t.co/iNVy2aHRNO
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) April 10, 2023
Measuring in at 6-foot-3 and 231 pounds, Soelle put on some impressive speed during his pro day. He was not invited to the NFL combine. With 31 5/8-inch arms, he also posted impressive times in the three-cone (6.90) and short shuttle (4.32) at his pro day.
A fifth-year senior, Soelle posted 110 tackles (56 solo), 3.0 tackles for loss, two interceptions and two passes defended during the 2022 season.
The Colts are always looking for talent in the back end of the linebacker room for depth purposes because that’s also an easy way to find gems on special teams as well.
Soelle may be looking at a draft projection as a priority free agent, but he has the type of athletic profile that might intrigue the Colts enough to give him a shot.
We’ll be tracking the Colts’ reported interest in the 2023 draft class so be sure to keep up with latest updates via our tracker.

Draw A Er Diagram –Entity Relationship is actually a substantial-levels conceptual info version diagram. Entity-Connection model is based on the notion of true-entire world organizations along with the relationship between them. ER modeling helps you to evaluate data demands systematically to generate a effectively-developed data base. So, it can be deemed a finest training to finish ER modeling before utilizing your database.
Past of ER designs
ER diagrams really are a aesthetic tool which can be useful to signify the ER design. It was suggested by Peter Chen in 1971 to create a standard conference which can be used relational database and community. He directed to use an ER product as being a conceptual modeling strategy.
Exactly what is ER Diagrams?
Entity relationship diagram exhibits the interactions of entity set kept in a database. Put simply, we could point out that ER diagrams assist you to explain the plausible composition of directories. At the beginning seem, an ER diagram looks nearly the same as the flowchart. Nevertheless, ER Diagram includes a lot of specialized icons, and its particular meanings turn this into version special.
Precisely What Is Entity?
An actual-planet issue either living or no-lifestyle that is easily identifiable and nonrecognizable. It is something within the business that is going to be depicted in your data bank. It can be a physical factor or simply a truth concerning the organization or perhaps function that happens in the real world.
An entity could be position, man or woman, item, celebration or perhaps a concept, which merchants data from the data base. The characteristics of organizations are must have an attribute, as well as a unique important. Every single entity is composed of some ‘attributes’ which signify that entity.
Relationship is certainly not but a connection amid two or more entities. E.g., Tom works inside the Biochemistry section. Organizations get involved in relationships. We could typically establish interactions with verbs or verb terms.
A fragile entity is a kind of entity which doesn’t have its important attribute. It might be determined uniquely by taking into consideration the major important of some other entity. For that, weak entity units require involvement.

Island Air, the Hawaii interisland airline purchased by Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison nearly a year ago, lost $1.9 million from July through September of last year as the airline worked to restructure its business, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports Island Air's loss during the quarter followed a loss of $1.8 million for the previous quarter, the period from April through June, which was the first full quarter under Ellison's ownership.
Island Air last week unveiled a new logo as part of its restructuring, and the Star-Advertiser reports the airline has reached an agreement with its pilots that covers the 64-seat ATR-72 aircraft in its current fleet, as well as the 78-seat Q400.
The newspaper quoted an internal memo from CEO Paul Casey, that said the airline has hired a group from Chicago that develops service and training and standards for Four Seasons resorts.
Island Air recently hired a director of guest services, Candy Chung, who previously worked for the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay, which is also owned by Ellison, who bought 98 percent of Lanai in 2012.


An update to the North American PlayStation Store suggests Sony is preparing to roll out its game rental service.
It looks as though gamers will be able to rent a game for either one day, seven days or 30 days, although it's reported that the rentals aren't working at this time.
Right now, all three rental period options show up as free, but that's almost certainly just down to the feature not yet being live.
Crossing the streams
When Sony rolls this out, there's no denying it'll be a pretty big deal. Although we'd expect the rental option to be limited to older games - we can't see publishers being too happy about selling their new titles so short.
Sony sent out PlayStation Now beta invites to select users in the US, where the service will roll out mid year. As for Australia, it doesn't look like we'll be getting it any time soon, if ever.

Wednesday, 16 June:
Traveling to Broome, Western Australia from Qantas Departures - Perth Airport Terminal 4.
Having a lazy afternoon in Broome (nice and warm!! - but not too hot).
Broome main street:
Boab tree on main street of Broome:
Broome's outdoor cinema - the oldest in the world??
Town "beach" - mostly mangroves!
Lots of lovely, unusual flowers and flowering trees in Broome - beautiful!
Sunset in Broome! View from our motel room balcony...
Thursday, 17 June:
This morning, we visited the Japanese cemetery in Broome. A lot of Japanese came here to engage in pearl diving. The conditions under which they did this were dreadful by today's standards, and not just the Japanese, but other races, as well as Aboriginals, who were virtually enslaved to do this terribly dangerous bare skin diving (as it was at first). Of course, all the Japanese were interned at the outbreak of war...
Next, in Broome, we visited Cape Gantheaume (named as Ganteaume Island by a French explorer, then another explorer noticed that it was not an island, and then an "h" was added as that's how the locals pronounced it!). Regardless, some wonderful rock (sandstone) formations, and even dinosaur footprints, and Cable Beach in the background.
Reproduced dinosaur footprints (someone tried to chisel the originals out - only visible at low tide):
We also visited the Broome Museum, which was actually quite interesting, especially regarding the pearling industry.
Proper diving suits were later introduced for pearl divers:
There was even a superb shell collection, which had been visited by the Queen when she visited Broome.
More lovely flowers (not so wild, this time):
Parts salvaged from the wrecks of various seaplanes (this one a Catalina) destroyed by Japanese raids in March 1942.
Then it was the turn of the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Farm Park. Malcolm Douglas was one of these "larger than life" crocodile hunters/conservationists (like Steve Irwin). He died 10 years ago, but our guide was every bit as entertaining and informative. We saw (and had explained to us the difference between) salt-water crocs (strictly, "estuarine" crocs), fresh water crocs, and alligators. Salt water crocs can live in fresh or salty water - they have a duct at the back of their tongue that desalinates the water for them.
Salt-water crocodiles (there are 60-70 in that murky water somewhere!):
Fresh water crocodiles:
Alligators (whose teeth are hidden from view when they close their mouth):
Finally, today, fish and chips picnic on the beach at Broome's famous Cable Beach (named for where the submarine telecoms cable from Java landed). Once again, a lovely sunset made the visit especially worthwhile! Even a pearl lugger drifted by on the gently breeze.
Friday, 18 June:
We set off from Broome along the Great Northern Highway, heading for Fitzroy Crossing (where the road crosses the Fitzroy River!). We arrived in Fitzroy Crossing and checked into our ensuite safari tent at the Fitzroy River Lodge. Greeted by 3 smiling faces #treefrog. After flushing and with the help of the toilet brush, the receptacle was declared free of frogs. But they cheekily reappeared! We continued to battle with one frog the whole time (2 nights) we were here!
Our campsite at Fitzroy Crossing (Fitzroy River Lodge) was comfortable and well-appointed (even with friendly frogs in the toilet bowl, as I've already posted). Quite a bit of bird life, including barking owls (not seen but definitely heard - "woof woof"), black kite on a tree next to the tent, and a few noisy corellas.
Our tent, with view over the Fitzroy River valley (too steep, I'm assured, for "freshies" to bother us!):
Our tent, with En-suite box attached to the rear:
Only thing missing was the TV (no reception anyway!):
After arriving in Fitzroy Crossing today (Friday), we went on a cruise of the Fitzroy River at Geikie Gorge (Darngku). Note the pale rocks on the bottom half of the rock walls - this is caused by the flood level, as is the eroding in those lower rocks.
Fairy Martin nests, which get washed away every year with the floods.
Boab trees are quite a feature of the Kimberley landscape. Of course, one has famously been used as a prison near Derby. We didn't see that one, but saw an equally impressive one out from Broome on the Great Nothern Highway. It had a decent-sized chamber within. Here are some samples.
Saturday, 19 June:
On this our second day in Fitzroy Crossing (Saturday) we traveled to Tunnel Creek and then Windjana Gorge. Here are some photos of Tunnel Creek, where many of us walked right through the tunnel (about 700m), and back again, including wading through water at times, and even a brief swim where the depth got too great. Torches essential, and ziplock bags for cameras, etc. Some aboriginal paintings at the far end, and a beautiful dragonfly.
The towering entrance to the tunnel - see the 2 puny humans at the bottom:
The entrance, looking back from within the tunnel:
The cave-in part-way along the tunnel:
At the cave-in:
Looking back on the cave-in:
The exit (far-end) of the tunnel, from within:
At the exit, looking back into the tunnel:
Aboriginal cave paintings near the far-end of the tunnel:
A beautiful red dragonfly outside the far-end of the tunnel:
We then drove on to Windjana Gorge (properly spelled Wandjana) which is further on from Tunnel Creek, towards and not too far from the Gibb River Road. Beautiful gorge, even with a supply of fresh-water crocodiles ("freshies").
The gorge looking West:
The gorge looking East:
Towering sides of the gorge:
Curious rock formation, with a fresh-water crododile in residence:
More freshies basking in the sun:
While driving around the Kimberley countryside (driving to/from Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek), we came across a variety of wildlife, as follows.
More black kites - this one interested in any scraps which we may leave behind after our lunch at Tunnel Creek:
A bustard beside the road:
An inquisitive cow and its calf (I love the sideways ears!):
A white-necked heron in a creek billabong:
Sunday, 20 June:
Today (Sunday) we travelled from Fitzroy Crossing to Halls Creek (lunch) and then on to the Bungle Bungle campsite. We had morning tea at Mary Pool, and also visited the old Town site of Halls Creek and China Wall, both a little way from Halls Creek. We have encountered a variety of wildlife on our trip (but not a lot, actually).
Friendly cows at Mary Pool:
Heron on the Mary River at Mary Pool:
Halls Creek main street:
Halls Creek IGA - lovely tin cows on roof:
Old Halls Creek, where some of the original buildings (made using bricks carved from termite mounds) are still preserved:
China Wall - a natural geological phenomenon of a quartz intrusion around which the other rocks have eroded away, exposing something that looks for all the world like the Wall of China. Seeing this alerted prospectors to the possibility of gold nearby!
We then drove on along Great Northern Highway until we reached the Bungle Bungle Caravan Park - still 52km from the Bungles, but where we'll stay for 2 nights. Dinner was served at 5:30pm, and woe betide anyone who was late! A good barbecue meal. We were accommodated in ensuited tents/cabins, except that (since Helen and I were the last to sign up to the tour) ours was without ensuite!
Our safari tent - minimal conveniences (ie no conveniences in the tent, but 40m away! And no power, so I'm sending this post (if it goes) by battery power and torchlight:
At least we have carpet on the ground, and comfortable bed(s)! I just hope I can make the dash to the loo in the middle of the night successfully!
Monday, 21 June:
Today we traveled from the campsite on the Great Northern Highway into Purnululu National Park to see the Bungle Bungle range. I was so impressed, took heaps of photos. It took 2 hrs from our campsite to get to the Visitor Centre (52km, but very corrugated road, and lots of Creek bed crossings - taken very carefully, slowly - some with unknown depth of water in them). Then another ~hour to the Bungles. We parked at Piccaninny carpark and walked the ~1km into Cathedral Gorge. Then walked back to the Piccaninny Lookout, and then back to the carpark - and then the bumpy ride back to camp. So, this took all day. But so amazing!

Tuesday, 22 June:
We had a fairly quiet day today (Tuesday), traveling from the Bungle Bungles to Kununurra, stopping only at Doon Doon Roadhouse (Durack) for coffee. Our driver, John, had been suffering some pain from having his wisdom teeth extracted, so he booked in to see a doctor in Kununurra, while we had lunch. We then drove around the town a bit, and then visited the Hoochery distillery and Sandalwood (Quintis) shop (outside Kununurra), before checking into our hotel and having dinner.
On entry to Kununurra, we drive over the Diversion Dam and get a view of the Ord River downstream from the dam:
Kununurra Lake, essentially the swollen Ord River, above the Diversion Dam:
Kununurra is overshadowed by imposing mountains:
Catholic Church, with mountain backdrop:
Corn (maize) fields watered by irrigation:
Sandalwood plantations (looks less regular than most plantations because sandalwood requires a nearby host tree, often cassia):
Hoochery Distillery - oldest (legal) distillery in Australia:
An array of Hoochery products (we were given samples of 3 of them). The rum was my most preferred - they've won national and international competitions over several years. They also have Argyle pink gin, Out of the Ord (with a variety of ingredients), Whisky, Aniseed liqueur, Cane Royale, etc:
Wednesday, 23 June:
Today (Wednesday) we visited Wyndham, including the 5 Rivers Lookout (Forrest, Durack, Pentecost, King, Ord - anticlockwise from due North) - but the photo is just of Cambridge Gulf, into which they all empty. Also saw the giant croc, and the croc cafe, as well as the port.
View over Cambridge Gulf (the port below, iron ore jetty in centre):
Direction/Distance indicator at the 5-Rivers Lookout (Perth 2,160km):
Wyndham recreational Jetty:
The giant croc (a salt-water variety):
The Croc Cafe, Wyndham (they did sell croc pies - I didn't partake):
Later today (Wednesday) we drove back towards Kununurra, then turned off onto the Gibb River Road for ~50km to El Questro Wilderness Park to walk up to Emma Gorge - quite breath-taking! Took about 50 mins to walks the 2.2km from the Resort, some of which involves clambering over rocks - there was even a sign warning that beyond this point you needed to be "fit and able". I was up to the challenge! Well worth the effort!!!
Near the entrance, with quite a lot of tropical vegetation:
The entrance to the Gorge:
One of the walls of the Gorge:
The lower pool - nearly to the head of the Gorge:
At the head of the Gorge, looking back:
The head of the Gorge - a marvellous amphitheatre! Note the relative size of the human in the picture (that tiny topless bather to the R of the falls):
A Gilgie (freshwater prawn, aka cherabin) in the pool at the head of Emma Gorge:
Thursday, 24 June:
Very eventful day today, Thursday, but I only had time then to report on one event. But what an event! A flight over Kununurra, Lake Argyle, the irrigation scheme, and to crown it all - The Bungle Bungle range. I'm embarrassed by how many photos I took (no I'm not, every aspect is captivating!). But I've tried to REALLY constrain myself, and post just a *few*. But I think you'll get the idea! [more about today's other events later].
The plateau of the Bungle Bungle range is relatively flat, but criss-crossed by many crevices/gorges:
Many deep crevices in the mountain range:
Some seasonal rivers (like Piccaninny Creek, depicted here) rise in the range and then wander off (to join the Ord, mostly):
The striking dome shapes typically only form at the margins of the mountain range, where erosion creates those dome shapes:
The mountains are formed of sandstone. Laid down in successive layers over 360m years ago in the Devonian period. The grey layers have a cyanobacterium content (blue-green algae), while the alternating orange layers have dried out too quickly and then the surface iron content oxidised. Then erosion took place over the next 300m years:
Following our marvellous flight over Lake Argyle and the Bungles on Thursday morning, we went straight to a cruise on Kununurra Lake (basically, swollen Ord River, held back by the Diversion Dam). This dam was the first to be built here, and diverts the Ord River to irrigated fields; this worked well as far as it went, but did not provide enough water to make the whole Ord River Scheme economical. Originally it had to pump water into the irrigation channels, but now operates totally by gravity, including the supply of water from the later much larger Argyle Lake Dam (more on that later).
Cliff walls at times on the Ord River (Lake Kununurra):
The Ord River Diversion Dam, viewed from the river above it:
Quite a few Comb-Crested Jacanas on the lily pads, on which they walk with their elongated toes (also known as "Jesus birds" as they appear to walk on water):
Sea Eagle nest, with chick and parent poking out (though hard to make out!):
Fresh-water crocodile sunning itself, and holding its mouth open to cool its head so it doesn't "cook its brain"!
Fruit Bat colony alongside the lake:
The main Lake Argyle Dam wall, holding back 21x the capacity of Sydney Harbour:
Finally on Thursday we had a closer look at the irrigation scheme. Originally intended for cotton and rice, these proved not so viable, so now it's mostly fruit (eg melons, mangos) that are grown, but also sandalwood and a variety of other crops including sorghum. The Diversion Dam was finished in 1963 and provided water to the Ivanhoe Plains which had rich alluvial soil; initially, 11,500 hectares were serviced (now, with the addition of Lake Argyle, 45,000 hectares). We also visited Zebra Rock at Stonecraft where "zebra" rock could be bought (now most of the source of this rock is under Lake Argyle), and also the nearby crossing of the Ord - if you're game!
Example of the irrigated crops on the Ivanhoe Plains near Kununurra:
Two of the irrigation water wheels on the Ivanhoe Plains:
Ivanhoe Crossing (of the Ord River):
An example of "zebra rock" (most of the source of this rock is now under Lake Argyle):
Friday, 25 June:
Our last outing for our tour was Friday morning - a cruise on Lake Argyle (before flying back to Perth on Friday afternoon). The creation of the "second stage" Ord River scheme, with a dam further upstream from the Diversion Dam, was the dream of Kimberley Durack, descendant of the farming pioneers of this area (they drove a herd of cattle over 3,000 miles from Queensland over 2 years from 1879-1882). We saw lots of crocodiles (there are 30,000 in Lake Argyle). There are 26 varieties of fish in the lake - we encountered the 7-spot archerfish up close - one squirted me in the ear (sadly, no photo of that!). There are several varieties of catfish, but not very popular eating (one has been renamed "silver cobbler" to avoid that stigma!). Also saw a Jabiru on its nest and some rock wallabies.
The Dam was started in 1969 and completed in 1971 and filled in 2 years; the lake holds 5.8 gigalitres of water (21x Sydney Harbour). Only 80% full when we were there, but in 2011 the water level rose to be 9 metres above the "filled" level, when it held 10.8 gigalitres (41x Sydney Harbour). The primary aim of the 2nd dam is to ensure there is always water in Lake Kununurra, so the irrigated fields are never deprived. There's enough capacity to last 3 years with no rain. The whole system operates via gravity, ie no pumps needed. In 1996 a hydroelectric generator wad added, which supplies power to Kununurra, Wyndham and surrounds as well as the Argyle Diamond Mine (which took 30% of the power, but closed in December 2020).
Our boat - the "Silver Cobbler II":
The Lake Argyle dam wall. It is 335 metres long and 98 metres high, raised by 6 metres in 1996 when the hydro scheme was added. It is an earth and rock-filled construction, incorporating clay to act as "glue". It is filled with sensors to check for movement, drying out, etc:
Quite a cloudy, mild day, but what a vast quantity of water! There are places where you can't see land at all in certain directions (from the level of the boat). When we moored at a small island and given the chance to swim, no-one took up the offer! It was only about 27 degrees!
Amazing folds in the rocks bordering the lake:
Of course, this might also have been one of the reasons no-one opted for a swim! There's 30,000 of them in the lake, but not really a threat to humans - they have nasty teeth, but they can't chew so have to swallow their food whole, and humans are too big. But don't mess with a crocodile, whether "freshie" or "salty":
A rock wallaby on the banks of Lake Argyle:
Jabiru on its nest atop this rocky outcrop island:
Argyle Diamond mine - seen from the air the day before. Closed in December 2020. One diamond shop in Kununurra had a sign outside promoting itself as a "Wife Creche", complete with "fully qualified carers inside"!
And so we say farewell to our bus, the driver (John) and guide (Chloe, replaced for final day by Emily), the 22 other passengers (a companionable lot!), and to the Kimberley. A really enthralling and enjoyable trip!!

KATIE Price has shown she’s well and truly over Peter Andre – by partying with
a girl he bedded after their split.
The glamour girl joined Maddy Ford at Sugar Hut in Essex on Saturday during a
night out with her toyboy Leandro Penna and The Only Way Is Essex star
Maddy sold a kiss and tell about her secret sex sessions with Pete, 38, in
February last year.
It came after he declared he was staying celibate after his marriage to Katie,
32, ended in May, 2009.
At the time the mum-of-three hit out at her ex-husband and described Maddy as
a mere “clone” of her.
But it looked like that was all in the past for the pair as they posed for
snaps inside the Brentwood club made famous by the ITV2 show.
Katie posted a photo of herself, Maddy and Lauren on her Twitter page and told
her million followers: “Me @maddyford1 and @LaurenPope in @sugarhut having
great night x”
During her time at the club she was also seen getting over-amorous with
Argentinian model Leandro, 26, and smooched in full view of fellow
Katie, who hooked up with Leandro shortly after her split from her second
husband Alex Reid, was back out on the town with him last night.
The pair were seen leaving London’s trendy Roka restaurant hand-in-hand.
Katie, who wore ripped white jeans and fluffy white boots for the occasion,
also bizarrely donned sunglasses despite leaving the establishment when it
She recently declared that she was in love with Leandro after telling her Sky1
reality show that she was still keeping her options open.
Earlier this month she wrote on Twitter: “At least I can admit now I’m in love
with leo and had been for along time but didn’t want to say woo [sic].”

We report photometric measurements of a sodium resonance guide star against the daylight sky when observed through a tuned magneto-optical filter (MOF). The MOF comprises a sodium vapor cell in a kilogauss-level magnetic field between crossed polarizers and has a very narrow transmission profile at the sodium D2 resonance of approximately 0.008 nm. Our observations were made with the 1.5 m Kuiper telescope on Mt. Bigelow, AZ, which has a separately mounted guide star laser projecting a circularly polarized single-frequency beam of approximately 6.5 W at 589.16 nm. Both the beam projector and the 1.5 m telescope were pointed close to zenith; the baseline between them is approximately 5 m. Measurements of the guide star were made on the morning of 2016 March 24 using an imaging camera focused on the beacon and looking through the full aperture of the telescope. The guide star flux was estimated at 1.20×106 photon/m2/s while at approximately 45 minutes after sunrise, the sky background through the MOF was 1100 photon/m2/s/arcsec2. We interpret our results in terms of thermal infrared observations with adaptive optics on the next generation of extremely large telescopes now being built.

Buckingham Palace has released a statement on behalf of the Queen following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Here is the statement in full:
“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.
“While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”


John Key needs to assure New Zealanders that his government knew nothing - and was in no way implicated - with Australia’s apparent policy of paying people-smugglers to keep refugees from its borders, Labour’s Foreign Affairs spokesperson David Shearer says.
“Today’s report from Amnesty International backs claims that Australian officials have been making cash payments to Indonesian people-smuggling rings and underlines the need for a full independent inquiry into the matter.
“The Prime Minister needs to make very clear that his Government had nothing to do with the policy and knew nothing about it.
“Two years ago John Key agreed to take 150 ‘boat people’ for Australia in return for Australia intercepting any large influx of refugees suspected of being en route to New Zealand.
“Paying off people smugglers to turn back boats is wrong and is no way to address the issue.
“Our government should be making how we feel crystal clear to our neighbours across the ditch, as well as reassuring Kiwis it has had no involvement in any of this,” David Shearer says.

Seeing others is sometimes a difficult task and we have to be taken out of our everyday lives to see them. As Mark Twain put it, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
Growing up in a privileged but Faith-filled family, it was not until she traveled out to the American West that she saw the plight of Native and Black Americans. Moved with pity, she began by collecting monies to aid them. In an audience with Pope Leo XIII, Katharine asked him to send missionary priests to the United States to minister to Native Americans. The pope turned it back on her and asked why she did not become a missionary herself.
And so she did, founding the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament who work to improve the lives of those they served.
So, she asks us, "what are you doing?"
And here is the passive way – to be filled unto the fullness of God. The passive way – I abandon myself to it, not in a multiplicity of trials, extraordinary penances accomplished, practices of great works – but in peaceful abandonment to the tenderness of Jesus, which I must try to imitate, and by being in constant union with his meek and humble heart.

For the past week... or more... I took a blog-cation. To spend time with my parents. To spend time with my kids. To spend time in my garden and in my home.
Sometimes, the world right outside your front door is just so beautiful that you can't keep away from it. A friend of mine said that, and for me, that explains my life for the past few weeks. First thing in the morning, I am lured outside to watch the apricot sunrises and check on my baby plants. The feel of grass that is still soft (which will change rapidly here in ye old South) on my feet. Dirt under my fingernails and endless nursery receipts on the floor of my car. I am thumbing through nursery catalogs and coaxing little plants to grow.
Friday, I went to a local hardware store with my Dad and my kids. This hardware store was built in 1901. The floors are made of wood, and they creak. The man who runs it knows everything about gardening in North Carolina, and is an absolute treasure for a poor, helpless transplant like me. My kids love to look at the chickies that they have in the springtime, as well as the big roosters and hens in a pen in the back. Of course, I couldn't resist running my fingers over the plants they have for sale. Nor could I resist scooping up a couple of pickling cucumber vines or some sweet baby watermelons.
It just couldn't be helped. It's like visiting an orphanage, you can't just leave them there.
I hope that wherever you are, you're being drawn out too--into the wide world and the sunshine. It has been such a long winter, even here.
It's time to stretch and breathe deeply and revive.
But I'll be back.

- Publisher's Summary
- This helpful guide will provide a detailed, focused treatment of collaboration, presented in a practical and easy-to-access format for K-12 teachers, administrators, staff, parents, and staff developers. The book will be designed as a "Collaboration 101" reference for schools who have no experience with collaboration and inclusive settings and want to begin to set it up. In addition, it will provide sufficient practical differentiation and application strategies that districts who already have implemented inclusive classrooms will want this book as a reference to help improve their current programs. While the goal of this book is not to be so comprehensive that it is daunting to readers, the content will present the most important information in each key area and will do so in a manner that is engaging, informative, and clear. Numerous "copy me" pages will be provided so that districts can use the forms and templates to make increased collaboration an obvious strategy for addressing diverse needs in the inclusive classroom, and real-life case studies will be included to provide context for the concepts.

Transitional Justice without Transition? Redressing past injustices under state socialism
21. Feb. 2019
– 23. Feb. 2019
Ort: FRIAS | Alberstraße 19, 79104 Freiburg
The question of how states and societies cope with the legacy of past injustices has attracted enormous scholarly and political attention in the past three decades. The concept of “transitional justice,” denoting various types of judicial and non-judicial approaches to aid reconciliation and sentence perpetrators, is often used to frame corresponding research. While the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials are commonly cited as pioneering this approach, the “age of transitional justice” (Adler 2018) only began in the 1980s, when the global ascent of human rights discourses underpinned attempts to establish institutions and practices that could help overcome legacies of repression and dictatorship. Most studies invoking the concept of transitional justice therefore only trace transitions from dictatorship to democracy. Yet how are we to understand amnesties, rehabilitations of victims, administrative lustration, trials against perpetrators, and the politics of historical memory during non-democratic transformation processes? This conference will look at attempts at redressing injustices under state socialism. While the majority of the contributions are devoted to the People’s Republic of China, there will also be papers addressing the Soviet Union, Romania or even North Korea. By rethinking the politics of historical justice under Communist Party rule, the conference offers new perspectives about the functions that political-legal approaches serve in autocratic attempts to come to terms with a violent past.
