Hello my lovelies.. I just thought I'd quickly share a few pics of mine and Mr H's lovely child free mini break from last weekend. We were lucky enough to be able to drop K and T off at my mums for an overnight stay while we escaped to The Quay Hotel & Spa to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary a few weeks early as we can't celebrate on the day itself as Mr H is away working on the rig.

Even though it was only one night we decided to splurge and booked a suite, which was massive, we even had our own little hallway!

2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, Trail Edition get more off-road goodness
There’s no shortage of off-road focused Toyota Tacoma trims, and two of them are getting even more capability. The 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Tacoma Trail Edition each feature a number of updates that make them more ready for dirt and rocks than before.
The TRD Pro is the ultimate Tacoma off-roader, and its updates come with the suspension. The suspension lift has increased by about half an inch over last year. Compared with a regular Tacoma, it sits 1.5 inches higher up front and half an inch higher at the back. It also gets special forged-aluminum upper control arms at the front to keep the suspension geometry correct with the increased suspension travel. The added height improves approach, breakover and depature angles, which are 36.4, 26.6 and 24.7 degrees respectively. The TRD Pro naturally gets some carryover upgrades, too, such as custom skid plates, Fox 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks, a cat-back exhaust and LED headlights and fog lights.
Besides suspension changes, the TRD Pro also gets some appearance changes. Most prominent is this year’s exclusive color, Electric Lime Metallic (though less eye-searing hues are available, including Super White, Magnetic Gray and Midnight Black). It has new hood graphics, badging and new TRD Pro stampings in the bed sides. Newly designed black wheels are also included and wrapped in all-terrain tires.
Ford is reportedly working on a twin-turbo 7.3-liter ‘Godzilla’ V8
Don’t expect it to appear outside of a Super Duty truck… yet
The V8 may be a dying breed, but Ford is reportedly doubling down on its 7.3-liter “Godzilla” truck engine with a new, twin-turbocharged (Get it? Doubling?) prototype being tested in its Super Duty pickups.
In its most basic, likely highly under-stressed form, Ford’s big workhorse V8 makes a respectable 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. With two snails bolted to it, well, there’s going to be some serious headroom, especially in the torque department. Thanks to its iron block, it should be able to handle a ton of twist down low — perhaps even enough to push emissions-troubled diesel models into the periphery of the heavy-duty pickup market.
Ford Maverick name confirmed, and its reveal is just days away
We’ve talked about the Maverick for months, and now Ford’s talking about it too
Maverick is official, Ford announced Thursday. The nameplate will return on a compact pickup — the very same one we’ve seen repeatedly in the wild over the course of the past year — and we’ll get to see it officially revealed in a matter of days. Ford included a pair of teaser photos of the truck’s celebrity ambassador, Gabrielle Union.

Cookie Week: Almond Cresent Cookies
New & Old Christmas Decor
Hi there! I’m so delighted to be a guest on Kate’s blog to share one of the most delicious cookie recipes! I was introduced to this recipe by my Mother-in-Law when we were home for Christmas. I promise they are impossible not to love! Another great thing about this recipe… they couldn’t be easier to make. Unlike most of the wonderful women I follow in the blogging world, I am not the worlds best chef. In fact, I usually add at least one (unintentional) imperfection to every dish I make. I like to think it’s my own personal touch! Well, these cookies are so easy even I couldn’t mess them up!

There has been a large increase in the value of fertiliser imported to WA compared with other states.
THERE have been concerns throughout this season about the lack of available urea, which we believe is the case in specific geographies.
Urea is like a power-packed food for crops, especially grains. Just as humans need balanced nutrition to grow and stay healthy, plants need certain nutrients to flourish.
Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for plants. Urea is a type of fertiliser rich in this vital ingredient, helping plants get the nutrition they need to produce bountiful and healthy grains.
Imagine a field without enough nutrition. The plants might be weak, produce fewer grains, and might not even taste as good. This is where urea comes in.
When farmers spread urea on their fields, it’s like giving their crops a hearty meal. This ensures that we get more food from each field and the grains are of good quality.
This year there have been rumours of urea shortages around the country. In reality, the fertiliser trade has done a fantastic job. In 2023, record volumes of urea have been imported into Australia.
Let’s look at the numbers.
In the first eight months of 2023, more than 2.5 million tonnes of urea were imported. Is this a lot or a little?
Let’s put it into perspective. Compared to 2021, imports so far this year are up 316,000t, with that figure hitting 369,000t above 2022 levels so far.
These were the two previous record years for imports of urea, and we have smashed it.
I was expecting we would see a huge crash when the August numbers came in, but that hasn’t been the case.
I was discussing Australian imports with an industry contact, who got onto the topic of scarcity and that it is a sales technique as old as the hills.
This technique intends to create a sense of urgency among potential customers, nudging them to make a purchase more quickly than they might otherwise. The perceived rarity or imminent unavailability of the item can increase its perceived value and desirability.
I am not saying this is the case currently, but it does seem we hear the old ‘get in quick before we run out’ advice every year.
We can only outline what the data says and, on a national level, imports have been huge.
So where has it gone?
As always, as analysts we like to delve further into topics to see if we can get a clearer picture of the market.
There are some caveats with this data, in that the data is based on the value of fertiliser imports, not the volume, and not refined to fertiliser type. It is there to give a trend. The value of imports has been strong so far this year.
The chart above shows the average annual composition of fertiliser in each state, along with the 2023 composition. We can see there has been a large increase in the value of fertiliser imported to Western Australia compared with other states.
And in terms of annual imports, there has been a sharp increase in imports into WA relative to the other states.
This follows anecdotal information that WA has struggled less with access to fertilisers than the other states.

The municipality ranked No. 11 in the country, with 18 of the top 50 cities falling within California. The study breaks down how much people still owe on outstanding mortgages, and approximately 61 percent of all homeowners nationwide are still in debt. Fontana, California has the highest percentage of people with unpaid mortgages in the country at 82 percent.
Collin Czarnecki, who led research for the study, which used U.S. Census data, said there are a few factors that contributed to North Las Vegas’ high ranking.
“North Las Vegas has experienced significant growth, which has attracted new homeowners to the area,” he said in an email response to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “From 2012 to 2022, North Las Vegas’ population increased by 25 percent, according to the Census Bureau. The high percentage of new homeowners is also evident in the fact that the median homeowner tenure in North Las Vegas is only about six years.”
Czarnecki also noted there is a financial aspect to consider with the municipality. The city has 39,101 residents with unpaid mortgages, making up 76 percent of the population and an average monthly mortgage payment of $1,549.
“Thirty one percent of homeowners in North Las Vegas could be classified as ‘house poor.’ This means they are allocating more than 30 percent of their income toward monthly housing expenses, including mortgage payments and utilities. This financial strain may be causing homeowners in North Las Vegas to take longer to pay off their mortgages, as a significant portion of them are living beyond their means when it comes to monthly housing expenses.”
The city of Las Vegas ranked 56th out of all cities in the country (69 percent still have outstanding mortgages), and Henderson was 63rd and Reno was 88th. The study notes that 28 percent of Henderson homeowners could be classified as “home poor”, and that Henderson has seen a 25 percent population growth since 2012, and approximately 69 percent of its residents have unpaid mortgages.

The whole idea of reservation is based on the premise that the Hindu society is still caste-based and that some of the castes are socially backward. Today, nobody can strictly be called a brahmin or kshatriya or vaisya or sudra. The caste system is an anachronism today and an evil. The only way to abolish this is not to recognise castes. Reservation in the name of castes will only perpetuate this evil. M Venkataraman By e-mail, April 28
May 28, 2010 |
The country is in a vortex of challenges, counter challenges and suspicious suggestions on the desirability or otherwise of including caste in the 2011 census. A calmer discussion may clear a number of cobwebs. It is common knowledge that the caste system has existed in our country for centuries. It is unnecessary to dilate upon the origin of caste; whether it was the freezing of a guild system, helped and encouraged, no doubt, by Brahamanical scriptural history, and the lack of an industrial revolution (because of the British occupation of India)

KOTTAYAM: An outfit of Kerala's Namboothiri Brahmins has demanded minority status for them, arguing that the community, which faced a socio-economic fall out after implementation of land reforms act, is miniscule in the state. President of the Yogakshema Sabha, Akkeeraman Kaladasan Bhattathirippad , also said minority status should be calculated state-wise and not on the basis of national level assessment. Calling for changes in reservation norms, he said it should be calculated on the basis of economic capacity of a person and the government's assistance in various forms, including reservation, are required for better living of many members of Kerala's Brahmin community.

Gandhi started ashrams, and went to live with the Harijans, to abolish the caste system. Nehru came out staunchly for secularism. Unfortunately their chelas in the Congress are hell bent on quotas to hang on to their chairs. For more than five decades quotas are in force, but the number of poor are increasing, so is illiteracy, and dropouts from primary and secondary schools. But the present day netas are least bothered or concerned, and want to destroy what little remains of our education.

NEW DELHI: Terming the prevailing caste system as "a badge of shame", the Social Justice Ministry has recommended human rights education at various levels including civil services and other central service training institutions to get rid of caste-based discrimination. The report of the '12th Five Year Plan Working Group' of the Ministry has observed that the caste system narrows mind and hearts and human rights education with emphasis on its ill-effects should be introduced in educational institutions at all levels.
January 6, 2013 |
CHENNAI: Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said the society was yet to reform itself over caste, which had divided people since hundreds of years. "Though division among people by means of caste was present 1,400 years ago, it is regrettable that the practice is still present among us. Society is yet to reform itself in this subject," he said. The minister said the prevalence of the caste system even after all these years and during a period graced by several cultural and spiritual leaders, was not a good sign.

GENEVA: Dalits in India could have something to look forward to. The United Nations Commission for Human Rights has finally recognised discrimination faced by castes, but under another name, and it adopted a resolution adopted by consensus at its 61st session appointing two special rapporteurs, Chin-sung Chung of South Korea and Yozo Yokota of Japan, to prepare a comprehensive study on discrimination with a search for solutions for its eradication within...

NEW DELHI: Among other things, India is also unique for being a country where downward mobility is desirable, even fought for. "It is to be noted that nowhere else in the world do castes, classes or communities queue up for the sake of gaining backward status," a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court had said earlier this year while staying 27% OBC reservations in central education institutions. The court was referring to the necessity of the creamy layer principle in that observation, but its words could as easily be used to describe the role of reservation politics in getting castes to travel down the social hierarchy.
November 15, 2006 |
Apropos of 'Now Moily wants quota for Muslims' and 'Mayawati, BJP rush to woo upper castes in UP' (ET, Nov 13) we find that the dream of the framers of our Constitution has failed miserably in the so-called secular India. What further proof do we need when the oldest political party which was at the helm of affairs during Independence struggle, is so dependent of SC/ST votes for survival? How can anyone expect this party to eliminate the caste system, when its own survival depends entirely on caste-based votes and not on their performance?
April 27, 2006 |
The only constant in life, they say, is change. A constant of Indian life has, however, been caste and the resultant oppression of the majority of society and truncation of the creative potential of all. This, too, is set to change, thanks to globalisation and consequent structural change in the economy. Policy can either aid the process or retard it, depending on its intention and design. Buddhism, Jainism and the Bhakti movement of the mediaeval period challenged the caste system, but to little avail.

I am a Sikh and I am not happy with the costume of The Flying Jatt by Sehajpreet Singh.
Director Remo D’Souza is coming up with a new movie by the name of The Flying Jatt, due to be released in 2016. The plot of the movie with an India Super hero seems nice and interesting but the way Tiger Shroff has been dressed is not at all ok. If at all it is disrespectful and it sends out a completely negative message.
The article in Mumbai Mirror newspaper and their website states that the costume of this super hero movie is inspired from the Sikh Warriors known as Nihang who are renowned worldwide for their bravery and their skills at handling weapons. These are the people who fought and beat many armies in spite of being vastly outnumbered. Nihang’s have a proper dresscode or a uniform. Traditional Nihang dress is known as Khalsa Swarupa meaning “Khalsa’s appearance”. This comprises full attire of supe relectric blue adorned with various weapons and Khanda is one of them. They also incorporate weapons in their turban which is an integral part of their lifestyle. No Nihang or for that matter a Sikh is ever complete without his turban. A simple google search will give you a brief description about what exactly a Nihang is and what his attire is.
I actually felt proud when I read in the newspaper very long back that a Bollywood movie is coming up which will have an Indian Sikh super hero. But that feeling was short lived and it passed away the moment I saw the poster for the movie. What I expected was a handsome man dressed in a Turban with proper beard and a master at the art of Gatka.
But what I saw was a complete mockery and felt like a blow to the face. A man dressed as a Nihang but with shaved face and cut hair and no turban? What kind of an inspiration is that where you completely ruin the whole appearance of a legendary army? I am not against the use of the Khanda but the way this has been put on a Nihang’s uniform and is being adorned by a clean shaved man is the fact that makes me angry and upset at the same time.
Worst part is that the article was titled “The actor’s superhero costume comes with the blessings of Sikh gurus.” And Mr. Remo says that he showed the film’s script and the costume to Sikh religious leaders and began shooting for the film only when he had their approval. I want to ask Mr. Remo that why did he have to do something that would even need the permission and approval of the so called Sikh Leaders? And what is wrong with these Sikh leaders that they give permissions blindly? Did religious leaders approve a film without even the character having turban?
Neither am I asking anyone to start burning the posters nor do I want people start to calling the film makers bad names. Mr. Remo is a talented man who has proved his worth in the past. All I am asking for is that Bollywood should start respecting Sikh’s and their feelings. They want to make movies “Inspired” from Sikhs and earn crores from them? We Sikhs welcome them to do so but atleast do so properly without having controversial content in it. Why couldn’t Tiger Shroff be shown as a proper Sikh Nihang? I am pretty sure he would have looked amazing and still would have done business worth crores. Showing a Nihang Inspired clean shaved man with a khanda on his chest just feels wrong. I can’t help but think that maybe all this is just another diversion to distract the Sikh masses from everything that’s going on in Punjab.
I just want to appeal to the film makers to not to use such cheap tactics for promotion and if you want to use Sikhs as inspiration in any of your projects please do so with respect. We Sikhs would appreciate if Mr. Remo can get this Superhero Costume modified and refrain from using such tactics for promotion in future. As it is Sikhs are going through a lot in this country, so please don’t add to their misery. I am not the only Sikh who shares this opinion but a majority of us are extremely upset with this costume.

The streams of messages generated at terminals or of data generated by computers are quite often sporadic. In order to enhance the utilization of communication links, a technique such as buffering is commonly adopted. A buffer store is interposed between the set of incoming links and an output link; its general purpose is to receive and store information according to a stochastic process defining the source, and then to output the information according to a different process that defines the sink. In this chapter we shall restrict ourselves to an output process which is simply a smoothing of the input process; i.e. the output of a non-empty buffer is at a constant rate which is normally assumed to be less than the source rate. A central design parameter is the buffer size, which must be sufficiently large to accommodate large backlogs of messages or data units that may occasionally develop because of large, transient demands of the input process. Accordingly, we shall discuss the problem of finding the steady state distribution of the amount of information stored in the buffer.

Sugar is prevalent in Thai food in several ways. The first is through sweet drinks often available at street vendors or coffee shops. Other sources of added sugar include fish sauce and palm sugar. Rice is another common source of sugar. However, the use of brown rice is also important. Using brown rice instead of white rice can significantly reduce your sugar intake.
Palm sugar has been a common ingredient in Southeast Asian cooking for thousands of years. Harvesting palm sugar is similar to that making maple syrup. The sap is collected by cutting the stem of the palm tree and leaving it overnight or during the early morning. The juice is then boiled with water until the water evaporates and the sugar crystallizes. The palm sugar is then used in a variety of dishes.
Palm sugar is a common sweetener in Thai cooking. Its sweetness can vary slightly from batch to batch and can depend on the time of harvesting the coconut palm. Nonetheless, if you want to make Thai food home, you can substitute it with regular sugar. Just remember to double the amount when substituting palm sugar.
Palm sugar can be bought in either a paste or a solid block. The former has an edible oil or wax coating, which makes it more liquid-like. The latter is more easily handled and is easier to grind into a paste. Both forms are edible and are sold in Asian supermarkets in various shapes and sizes.
Sugar is a common ingredient in Thai food. It’s in various forms, including white, brown, and palm sugars. White sugar is refined and tastes less; palm and coconut sugars have a more distinctive flavor. Palm sugar is often used in desserts and curries.
The use of sugar is not new to Thai cooking, although its origins are debated. Most scholars believe that the introduction of sugar to Thailand began around the mid-Ayutthaya period, from 1351-1767. At that time, Thai royalty was introduced to sugar from Portugal. Initially, Thai dishes and beverages used palm and coconut sugar, but nowadays, modern Thai recipes use a variety of sugars, including muscovado sugar.
Thai food is low in oil, which makes it a healthy option for many people. Most Thai dishes are cooked quickly, using fresh ingredients. While the traditional dishes are generally very spicy, non-spicy dishes are also delicious. Thais usually eat whatever they want and do not distinguish between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is common to see food stalls based on the concept of cheap, fast, and tasty.
Soy bean sauce
While Thai food is globally acclaimed for its balanced, refined flavors, the high amount of sugar in the country’s dishes is a severe concern for people with diabetes. Sticky rice is awful for diabetics; it contains more sugar than white steamed rice. In addition, Thai drinks and desserts are often loaded with sugar and condensed milk. In addition, Thai food is notorious for its deep-fried snacks, which can be dangerous for people with diabetes. Many of Thailand’s 7-11 stores sell sugary energy drinks.
The use of fish sauce in Thai cuisine is a common practice. It is an ingredient that elevates the flavors of many dishes and is often used as a seasoning. In addition to its salty taste, the fish sauce also adds a distinctive aroma. Soy sauce is another common ingredient in Thai cooking, which creates a lighter saltiness.
In addition to using white sugar, Thai dishes often contain palm sugar and honey. While refined white sugars have virtually no flavor, palm and coconut sugars have a distinctive taste. Palm sugar is darker in color and has a distinct smokiness. This type of sugar is also used in desserts and curries.
Brown rice is a type of rice with a distinctive reddish black color, a slightly chewy texture, and the bran layer intact. Unlike white rice stripped of the bran layer, brown rice retains the bran layer and contains more fiber. It is also used in Thai food in its sticky rice form. It is available in supermarkets throughout Thailand and is usually used in desserts, such as sticky mango rice.
Brown rice is also high in fiber and is suitable for your health. It adds fiber and provides essential vitamins and minerals. It can also make your Thai food more filling. Also, brown rice contains fewer calories than white rice. However, you still need to be aware of sodium, fat, and sugar in some sauces.
Besides being a healthier choice, Thai food contains coconut milk, which benefits human health. It reduces LDL cholesterol and increases fatty acids essential for body function. Additionally, it strengthens the immune system of the body. Coriander is another common ingredient in Thai food and is excellent for your health. It also adds flavor and aroma to food.
When making Thai dishes, coconut milk is an essential ingredient. It is widely used in many words, from soups to curries. Its rich taste and smooth texture make it an ideal base for Thai cooking. For optimal flavor, buy organic coconut milk. It is free of harmful chemicals and is rich in nutrients. It will also help you make authentic curries with ease.
It is also a great alternative to coconut cream. It saves time, is easy to store, and has a longer shelf life than its cream counterpart. Canned coconut milk is rich and smooth but should be refrigerated after opening. To preserve its flavor, you can keep it in the fridge for up to three days.
Thai people use coconut milk in their desserts as well. Gluay Buat Chee, Khanom Krok, and Khanom Tray are a few examples of coconut milk desserts. Coconut milk is made by finely grating the flesh of a mature coconut. Unlike coconut water, coconut milk is fatter than milk. Therefore, the cream has the most flavor. This cream is also called ‘Hua Gati’ in Thai.
Sugar is a common ingredient in Thai cuisine. It is used in various forms, including white sugar, brown sugar, and palm sugar. White sugar has virtually no taste, while palm sugar and coconut sugar have distinct flavors. This also uses brown crystalline sugar, which has a slight caramel flavor.
This loves sugar, and many Thai dishes have excessive amounts of it. However, this sweetener is also one of the leading causes of the country’s fastest-growing disease – diabetes. The Ministry of Public Health estimates that one in 10 Thais suffers from the disease, far higher than in the U.S. This trend is partly due to Thai food vendors using large amounts of processed sugar.
Almost all Thai foods contain sugar. Oyster sauce, a vicious condiment, is made from oyster extracts, sugar, and salt. In addition to sugar, most Thai dishes have a touch of spice, making them delicious and addictive. Many of these dishes are now widespread in the United States.
Pad See Ew
Although Thai cuisine may be full of sugar, it is one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. The ingredients used in Thai cuisine are known for their medicinal properties and are cooked at low temperatures to retain maximum nutrition. Thai food is also rich in fiber, which regulates the body’s sugar metabolism. This can help keep blood sugar levels stable and hunger at bay.
Coconut and palm sugar are two of the most common forms of sugar in Thai food. These two sweeteners have lower GIs than refined sugar. Additionally, Thai food avoids common salt, and most salt is acquired from fish sauce, which is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.
While Thailand is internationally renowned for its health-promoting food, its sugar addiction is causing the rise of diabetes in its population. In Thailand, one in every ten people has diabetes, and doctors attribute the rapid increase in the disease to sedentary lifestyles and industrialized junk food. Even 7-Eleven carries squid-flavored potato chips, starch buns, and sugar-laden energy drinks.
Sugar is a common ingredient in Thai food. It comes in many forms, including brown sugar and white sugar. There is also coconut palm sugar, which has a distinctly smoky flavor and is typically used in desserts and curries. Thai cuisine also makes extensive use of honey.
The country’s reliance on sugar is partly to blame for its obesity problem. The Ministry of Public Health estimates that 3 million Thais have diabetes. This is a much higher rate than in the United States. Most Thai grade schools serve processed meals, which contribute to obesity. As a result, the number of Thai people with diabetes is increasing.
The saltiness in Thai food is essential to enhancing the flavors. Fish sauce is a vital household staple in Thailand, bringing umami to dishes and enhancing savory flavors. Soy sauce is another common ingredient, bringing a light saltiness and earthy flavor to words.

Reed Sponsors Censure, Says Impeachment Would Further Divide US
As the House of Representatives voted yesterday to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time in the past four years, Congressman Tom Reed said he voted no on impeachment due to the lack of due process and investigations as well as division he thinks would occur as a result of a trial. Reed thinks the censure resolution he co-sponsored two nights ago in the House was the right course of action. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed yesterday the earliest a trial could possibly start is January 19th, a day before the Presidential inauguration.
NYSAC President Marren Says SOS Address Gave No County Support
Governor Cuomo’s three-day State of the State address left county leaders New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) President Jack Marren skeptical. Marren says the common theme that was missing from the 3-part State of the State Address is no mention of budget cuts by the state despite the drastic cuts many counties have made. Marren also says there is a lack of state support as counties have made due in whatever ways they can to deal with the massive and looming state deficit this year at a record $15 Billion. NYSAC released its 2021 Legislative Session platform this week containing a wide range of policy proposals to assist counties to sound fiscal footing as economic recovery from the COVID pandemic continues.
Five Defendents Charged in Brutal 2020 Wellsville Murder
Five of the eight defendants charged with the brutal murder of 23-year-old Nicholas Burdge at an apartment on North Main Street in Wellsville last March were in Allegany County court Wednesday, where they accepted deals and pled guilty to lesser crimes. Initially, most were charged with second-degree murder, but none pled to that count. It was called one of the most brutal crimes ever in that area. The victim was taped to a chair, beaten and stabbed for hours, then dumped in the Genesee River. The victim’s mother told us, most everybody loved Nick.

I wanted to understand how redundancy works when we implement Frame Relay to connect between different office locations. Consider the topology here I have two sites A and B each has a pair of Routers (R1, R2), (R3, R4) each belonging to each site.
R1, R2 pair is connected to R3, R4 pair over Frame relay such that R1 can connect to R3 (via dlci 103) and R4 (via dlci 104) similarly R2 can connect to R3 (via dlci 203) and R4 (via dlci 204) and vice versa using point to point links, all the routers R1 through R4 belongs to same subnet.
For the internal network of R1, R2 pair they are running HSRP for redundacy similarly R3 and R4 as well.
My question is in such a scenario where R1 or R2 fails how does R3 or R4 route the traffic which is meant for R1/R2 network (I understand we can use Routing protocols such as EIGRP to detect if R1/R2 are down). Is there any other parameters we consider apart from routing protocols?

As I may have mentioned more than once, we are living on the island of San Cristóbal in the Galapagos Islands. It is one of four populated islands in the archipelago, and it is not the most populated. That honor goes to Santa Cruz, which I had heard had a bustling port city of no small size. Joel and I visited Santa Cruz four years ago, but most of the memories I had about the size and situation of the island were effaced by my recent experiences in San Cristobal. Well, this last weekend, we returned to that island, and I was surprised by how much I actually remembered, and how much had changed. It is a very busy city compared to our sleepy San Cristóbal. I was positively homesick for our island after passing a sleepless night in listening to trucks and scooters passing noisily by our hostel window, to the congregating of dozens of dogs holding a midnight meeting in the street, and to a few boistrous tourist and townspeople staggering in the dark back to their dwellings.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. First, I should say that our primary purpose for traveling to Santa Cruz was to attend our church. Unfortunately, there is not a congregation located on our island, so we have been on our own for the last few months. We finally got up the courage to try the two-hour boat ride to Santa Cruz, where the local congregation meets.
Early Saturday morning, we set out on the Osprey, a fairly spacious vessel, with the group of British kids from the Hacienda Tranquila, who had booked passage on the same boat. Everything started out great. Isabella and Sofia were riveted to the windows for the first 45 minutes of the voyage. But their enthusiasms soon began to wane, and was then altogether replaced by a general malaise. Then all at once, sea sickness set in, and the poor little girls took turns, in close succession, of necessitating the application of a plastic bag and gobs of toilet paper to their aid.
Anyways, we were very glad to be back on dry land. We had not arranged lodgings for the night in advance, but that is no major problem on the island since there is always someone eager to fill up their rooms. We hadn’t even left the dock before finding a person to conduct us to a nice little apartment that they rented out to tourists. We changed into our swimsuits, slathered on the sunscreen, and took off in the direction of the Darwin Research center, home of Lonesome George.
Along the way, we there were plenty of fun things to see. Like a bridge through the mangroves.
And a fresh fish market with all the usual fish stalkers.
A friendly sea lion.
And a surly booby. It’s not the blue-footed variety, and when I went to google it so I could perhaps look up the name of the correct variety, I got half way through typing the word before I realized that might not be the best thing to carelessly look up on the internet.
As we got closer to the center, we ran into some more iguanas and some fun little lizards. They must be cousins of the ones who live on our islands, because they have red patches in the same place, but it’s a different shade of red.
This was my favorite iguana. He just had a unique personality.
Almost as soon as we walked inside the center, we saw these big guys waiting for us.
Unlike our visit to the galapaguera on San Cristóbal, there are giant tortoises to spare at the Darwin Center in Santa Cruz.
And no less exciting were the giant land iguanas with flaming orange skin.
Lonesome George was napping in a cave, so we didn’t get to see him. We’ll just have to try for our next trip.
And there is also a small beach conveniently located there, for a cool dip after all that walking in the sun. The best part were the baby iguanas.
For dinner, we went to the same restaurant that Joel and I went to four years ago, and we ordered the pizza again. It was much better than I expected, probably because I didn’t make the mistake this time of ordering salchicha, which I mistakenly thought was sausage. Hot dogs cut up and sprinkled on a pizza is a thing that should never be. I also got a plate of fish, and I just wanted to show you this lime, which was green on the outside and orange on the inside.
After dinner, we went to the park, which was packed with children, doing all sorts of crazy fun activities that are banned from US playgrounds. I wish I had taken a picture of the rope basket swing that had a swing-span of 15 feet and was reaching almost the level of the swing’s pole at its peak height. There was also a little slide shaped like an elephant, and Isabella and Sofia were going nuts sliding down the trunk of that thing. It made me feel a little sad about the dilapidated state of the parks we have here on San Cristóbal.
We woke up early Sunday morning (earlier than I would have liked, but my girlies just don’t know how to savor a good sleepy Sunday morning) and got ready for church.
The church building is nice, and air conditioned, and the people were very welcoming. All in all it was an excellent experience. If it wasn’t for the girls throwing up the whole way there, I think we would try to come at least monthly. But I just don’t know if we can do that to them every month.
After church we had a little time to wander around and then we made our way back to the dock. I just snapped a few more pictures before it was time to go.
The boat ride home was super crowded and hot, but the girls slept most of the way and there wasn’t any throwing up, so we’ll call it a success. I was certainly glad to be back home. Santa Cruz is a lovely island with many charming spots, but I’m so glad we’re living on San Cristóbal.

Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said today that the United States had stopped air patrols over southern Iraq and would remove all its troops from the demilitarized zone along the Iraq-Kuwait border within two days.
But Mr. Cheney also disclosed that the Administration plans to keep thousands of American troops in Kuwait for months to assuage the concerns of the Kuwaiti Government, which is apprehensive about the departure of American combat troops from the region.
"There will continue to be U.S. forces here in Kuwait for a period of months to come," Mr. Cheney said after meeting with senior Kuwaiti officials at the royal palace compound, which still bears the scars of the Iraqi occupation.
The Secretary met with the Prime Minister, Crown Prince Saad al-Abdullah al-Sabah, and the new Defense Minister, Sheik Ali al-Sabah, to discuss plans for a postwar American military presence in the Persian Gulf.
Mr. Cheney did not meet with Kuwait's Emir, Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah. During a February visit to Saudi Arabia, Mr. Cheney met with the Emir, the country's ruler, and told him that he hoped that the next time he saw him, it would be in free Kuwait.Continue reading the main story
But the Emir has been criticized here and in the United States on grounds that Kuwait has failed to become more democratic, and that the Sabah Government condoned human rights abuses against Palestinians and others suspected of aiding the Iraqis. Earlier Warning by Baker
The last senior American official to meet with the Emir was Secretary of State James A. Baker 3d, who on April 22 told him that Washington's willingness to continue to support Kuwait militarily and politically would be influenced by its commitment to human rights and democratization.
Mr. Cheney told reporters en route to Kuwait that the Bush Administration had ordered air patrols in the south to cease as of today, a military milestone that reflects Washington's determination to bring the occupation of southern Iraq to a close.
"We have given instructions that as of midnight last night, we are no longer flying the air mission over southern Iraq," the Secretary said.
The United States is continuing air patrols over northern Iraq, north of 36 degrees north latitude, to defend the allied-occupied zone set up in the north to protect the local Kurdish population.
Mr. Cheney said that American troops have been ordered to leave the border demilitarized zone in the next 48 hours.
The bulk of the Army's Third Armored Division, which straddles the Iraq-Kuwait border, and the Eighth Marine Regiment, which is based in Kuwait, have been ordered to move to Saudi Arabia in preparation for their return to Europe and the United States.
Significantly, however, the United States has agreed to leave a brigade of the Third Armored Division in Kuwait for the time being. A combat brigade normally consists of 4,000 or so soldiers. Kuwaitis' Fears
Kuwaiti leaders, concerned by President Saddam Hussein's ability to remain in power in Baghdad, had sought a longterm American presence on their territory. But the United States, aware of the sensitivities of other governments in the region, has said that it is not seeking to permanently station ground forces in the Persian Gulf.
Instead, Washington is seeking to maintain its military influence in the area by storing equipment, conducting joint ground and air exercises, and rotating planes through bases in the gulf region.
Asked if he had been successful in working out arrangements in these areas, Mr. Cheney said that he had been making "significant progress at each stop" in developing an understanding of the future American military role in the Persian Gulf.
The Defense Secretary then flew to the United Arab Emirates for meetings with senior leaders there.
Mr. Cheney did not say how many months the American troops might be in Kuwait, and it seemed likely that a precise period had not been established by the two sides.
But in a final stop before leaving Kuwait, American soldiers boisterously cheered Mr. Cheney when he flew to their camp on a forlorn strip of desert just inside Iraqi territory and told the troops that they were going home soon.
"I know it has been a long, tough haul," he said, addressing the soldiers from the top of a tank. "This is not the most glamorous part of the world to be in. But we'll get you out of here in the next couple of days."
"Get us home, sir," a soldier said.
"We'd like to get that C-141," another soldier shouted out, referring to the transport plane that would take them from the Persian Gulf. -------------------- Algeria to Represent Iraqis

Looking at the legacy of Ethel Ray Nance, a pioneer for civil rights and women’s rights
Henry Banks, community activist, is pushing to get more recognition out there for Ethel Ray Nance.
She was born in Duluth, on April 13, 1899, and grew up in the Hillside.
After graduating from Central in 1917, she went on to be a stenographer. In that role, she helped the victims of the 1918 fires, and then went on to be the first Black stenographer for the Minnesota legislature.
In 1920, after the lynching in Duluth of three Black men, her father founded the first Duluth chapter of the NAACP.
Nance would go on to work for the NAACP through her life.
“She worked with W.E.B. Du Bois, who founded the NAACP nationally. She convinced him to come to Duluth to talk to a group of about 300 people in Saint Mark AME Church about anti-lynching legislation,” Banks told us.
She was one of the first Black policewomen in Minnesota, when she was hired by Minneapolis.
Banks wants her to be elevated on her birthday, and reached out to city leaders.
Banks added, “Because what my hope is, is that once we are able to accomplish that goal with regard to this incredible icon in the civil rights movement, it’s my belief, my hope that this becomes an annual celebration.”
He told us that he has been in touch with the Human Rights Officer and a city councilor about this.

Talking about tactical gears, you might be thinking about the technological developments on electronic devices. However, a simple backpack had gone through a lot of transformation over the years as well. For instance, many modern backpacks can no longer put pressure on your back.

The old canvas bag has evolved many times and has become a practical backpack most people use today. Some backpacks have internal frames that evenly distribute the weight. Other backpacks are modular lightweight load-carrying equipment or MOLLE that have lines of strong nylon attachments. A modern backpack is something that you should not ignore whether you are going on a camping trip. In most cases, this gear is an essential part of a tactical outfit.
One of the most critical tactical gears that you should have is the boots. You need durable footwear if you are going for a long hike on rugged terrain. Veteran campers and hikers know the danger a trench foot involves. Wearing the right boots can keep you safe from this food injury.
If you buy a pair of tactical boots, you must consider comfort, durability, waterproof, and breathable. A leg or foot injury due to wrong footwear will cut short your trip and can put you in danger. Ensure that you carefully choose your boots before buying them from any store that sells tactical gear in Australia. This will significantly lessen the risk of injury and muscle strain.
Your hands need protection, too. This is especially true if you are going on a hike that includes some climbing. Some tactical gloves have paddings with pressure-point that can lessen the risk of any injury. Some of them have special linings that can protect your hands from harsh weather conditions.
These are just some of the primary tactical gears that you should have if you are going on a camping or hiking trip. Of course, don’t forget to wear a comfortable shirt and pants to protect your body from heat, insect bites, and other outdoor elements. Also, don’t forget to bring the right tools to help you, such as a survival knife, rope, and waterproof matches.

Inspired by Tweed Drive 59, this circuit allows you to have a ’59 Fender Bassman amp right on your pedalboard! All those vintage tones at the reach of your hand.
There is a certain satisfaction when you finish building a preamp that allows you to have all the ’59 Fender Bassman amplifier’s severely saturated classic sounds without spending $10,000 in the process. Have you ever wanted to hear one of these amplifiers at maximum volume? We recommend first try it halfway!
Every time you hear about a classic, remember that it is on the podium for a reason. In the 1950s, the Bassman was perfect for amplifying a new discovery, the Fender Precision Bass. This straightforward 50-watt rig conceded the bass to hold its own onstage with drums, electric guitars, and piano, the typical instrumentation of the day. Its simplicity, great tone, excellent dispersion, and touch-sensitive dynamics are a true pleasure that won, over the years, the hearts of guitarists too.

ArtEquity and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival have launched a new digital series that tackles structural racism in theaters throughout the United States.
Oregon shakespeare festival have launched a new digital series that tackles structural racism in theaters throughout the united states.
"talking back" features conversations between black indigenous people of color leaders in theater arts organizations.
Art-equity founder and executive director carmen morgan says the six-part series allows people to see theaters as a tool for social change.
"what we wanted to do with this series was to kind of, uh, give a reveal into all of what it takes for that kind of work to gain traction and momentum.
Um, and the partnering with osf obviously made sense because they're so committed to this kind of work they're significantly resourced.
And so a lot is expected of them."

I have been using Shadow Wrap, GSR, Japanese and some strange unknown short rows techniques and even though I have seen YO short rows mentioned before, I had never given them a try. Today I decided to give YO short rows a test, so for comparison I knitted plain turn and slip, GSR and two variants of YO. Both YO short rows techniques produced a better result than GSR (my previous favorite), in my opinion.
So how is YO short rows done? It is very simple:
- Turn your work
- Do a tight yarn over
- (Optional) slip the first stitch
- Knit or purl (depending on what side you are on)
In my test I had the best result with the optional third step where I slip the first stitch. It created the smoothest result and was most difficult to find in the knitting.
For closing the gap:
- Knit or purl until you reach the yarn over (the last stitch to work is very close to the YO, and together they look almost like the twin stitch of GSR)
- Do a decrease with the yarn over and the stitch after the gap by working both together. Depending on the situation you have to pick one of K2tog, SSK, P2Tog or SSP in a such way that the stitch after the gap ends up on top of the yarn over.
This technique is really a hidden gem among all the short rows techniques.
To clarify the gap closing: K2Tog and SSP is used while working flat stockinette. When working stockinette in the rounds and coming from the other side of the gap SSK and P2Tog are used. In both cases you have a gap and on one side of it a YO and on the other side a normal stitch and those two need to be worked together.

What do you call the desk with a hutch? The name “secretary desk” conjures images of an old-fashioned piece of furniture. In fact, these classic desks have been around since the 1700s, although they’re still very much in use today.
What is a secretary hutch? The Hutch has plenty of open storage space for work-in-progress, books, decorations, and more while the desk features a vertical storage cabinet along with a box drawer to organize your office supplies and writing utensils.
How old is a secretary desk? Taking its name from the French word for the piece, secrétaire, the secretary desk dates back to the 18th century, when Paris-based cabinetmaker Jean-François Oeben, known for his exquisite marquetry and clever mechanical desks, is thought to have invented the secrétaire à abbattant, or drop-leaf desk.
How do you identify a secretary desk?
- Look at the wood. Many secretary desks from the 1700s and 1800s feature exotic woods like rosewood, tulipwood, and kingwood.
- Examine the construction.
- Look for a manufacturer mark or label.

Global Warming Is Real and Has Consequences
As the monsoon season approaches Thailand, farmers are not alone in watching the rolling clouds, but also factory owners and workers. Unlike the farmers who hope for the rains to flood seedling plots, workers worry that devastating floods might follow and drown factories as they did last year.
The floods of 2011 inundated 250 factories, putting 200,000 people out of work and disrupting global supply chains of electronics and auto parts. As the Thai government readies plans to fight floods, foreign manufacturers aren’t taking chances, reorganizing supply-chain networks and looking for alternative sites for production.
In retrospect, 26 of the 90 provinces in Thailand were seriously affected by a sheer amount of floodwaters. Many automotive-assembly plants and parts-maker factories for Honda, Toyota, Isuzu, Nissan and Ford, situated in and around Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani provinces, suffered greatly from the destructive floods, with severe effects on the world’s automotive markets.
Automotive production in Thailand has certainly been affected in the near term due to the shortage of auto parts as a result of the floods, with no apparent medium- or long-term effect on the country as an automotive production hub in the region.
Almost 10 percent of total auto parts for local production come from the country’s flood-affected regions. Toyota, Auto Alliance Thailand, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan all depend on auto-part makers in this particular region. Frost & Sullivan, ID, reports that some of the factors likely to be considered by original equipment manufacturers in the future include increasing the stockpile in terms of auto parts and revisiting the process of just-in time production.
A new production model would entail exploring a multi-sourcing strategy that involves not only sourcing parts from different suppliers but from different regions as well – a climatic de-risking of the supply chain with original-equipment manufacturers investing in geographic locations least impacted due to natural disasters. For example, Toyota recently announced its plan to build its second production plants in Karawang, West Java, Indonesia, which has had a good record for being a climate-safe area. Meanwhile, as part of diversifying its production bases by not relying on Southeast Asian plants alone, Toyota will also expand its North American production facilities to make the cars it needs for export.
Manufacturers could be losing confidence in Thailand or any other locale struggling to cope with the challenges of climate change.
Meanwhile, flooding in Thailand also forced the increase of the cost of traditional computer hard drives, at least the in short term, because manufacturers struggled to work around shuttered plants and suppliers. Hard drives were in relatively short supply throughout the end of 2011 and into 2012. This has already impacted the availability and pricing of everything from notebook and desktop computers to media players, set-top units for cable television and stand-alone hard drives.
As analysts have anticipated, reduced supply coupled with high capital expenditures, as a result of the floods, has meant that hard-drive prices have gone up, already engendering ripple effects across the industry. Computer makers were supply-constrained and could not make as many systems as they thought they could sell. Thus, they had no choice but to raise prices on the computers they could make to meet revenue goals. For example, if limits on hard-drive availability meant a computer maker could only make about 85 percent of the number of systems originally planned. Prices for those systems would have to be 11 to 25 percent higher for the manufacturers to maintain the same level of revenue and keep their investors happy.
But that was before factoring in increases in hard-drive prices. Already, hard-drive costs have increased 10 percent, driving up prices for low-margin products as much as 20 percent. While not immediately noticeable, the price range of a notebook computer has increased since last year, due to costs and revenue pressure from supply constraints.
Although the floodwaters have receded, it does not mean that hard-drive makers and component manufacturers could just walk back into their fabrication plants, flip a switch and get back to work. Some facilities remained offline as companies repaired and replaced expensive manufacturing and process equipment. This meant that hard-drive shortages continued after the floodwaters receded, and manufacturers incurred significant costs to get back online.
As for the impact on foreign direct investment, according to the recent report of the World Bank, estimated damage to Thailand’s manufacturing base is about US$13 billion in terms of assets destroyed and US$22.75 billion in production loss. While short-term FDI in Thailand may be aided by the rebuilding effort at damaged plants, investor confidence will probably suffer in the medium to long term.
Investors are likely to revisit their manufacturing footprint and take into account the risk of floods and other natural disasters in Thailand.
As a result, existing operations in Thailand may be scaled back or eliminated altogether and new investments curtailed, especially if there are other attractive destinations in the region such as Malaysia and Vietnam. But this must not overlook the fact that Thailand was an attractive investment destination in the first place, with a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies and strong export industries.
To regain investor confidence, Thailand, under the leadership of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, has proposed spending US$4.2 billion on reconstruction and steps to prevent future floods. She has sought to reassure investors that Thailand would remain a safe place for business, as leading Japanese companies including Honda Motor and Toyota Motor have scrapped profit forecasts after the floods and shut factories in Thailand. In fact, Yingluck even paid a visit to Japan in early March with the key objective to boost investor confidence in Thailand and, in particular, show off concrete plans toward managing floodwaters should the problem reoccur.
It might be too little too late for the Yingluck government to control the damage. Declaring her visit to Japan a success, Yingluck ignored reports that some big Japanese companies may want to spend more to build factories in Thailand’s neighbors, including Indonesia and Vietnam, after the Thai floods disrupted production. Honda Chief Financial Officer Fumihiko Ike said that his companies hoped the Thai government would improve infrastructure, including water-drainage systems. However, the company is planning on flexibility in managing factories in neighboring nations. Honda has acknowledged the need to reconsider diversifying investment not only inside Thailand to avoid flood-prone areas, but other locations, too.
Meanwhile, Takahiro Sekido, chief Japan economist at Credit Agricole CIB in Tokyo, said: “Executives recognize the concentration risk after the floods. The recent trend of accelerating investment into Thailand will cool despite the fact that Thailand was such an ideal destination.”
After all, the concerns among foreign investors are not only on nature’s damaging floods, but also the “political floods,” with various actors in Thai politics exploiting the disaster to undermine opponents, thus delaying necessary cooperation and the speediest solution to the problem.

Pleasure is an opera of opposites: of tradition and post-modern realism; of life and death; of pain and pleasure. Mark Simpson's dynamic piece at Opera North, with libretto Melanie Challenger, tells the story of Val (Lesley Garrett), a cleaner at a gay nightclub who helps the young, lost men who flock there. While one would expect the tragedy to focus upon homosexual relationships, instead the opera focuses on the love between a mother and son. Specifically, the passionate blend of love and hatred felt by Val and her son Nathan (Timothy Nelson) whose arrival at the club sparks a turbulent and violent night.
Operatic grandeur and majesty is juxtaposed with the brutality of Val's despair and the struggles of the men who come to her.
While many of us have our own stories from nightclub toilets, none (hopefully) reach the scope and tragedy of Pleasure, where a mother is reunited with a son given up for adoption, a man falls in love, and another kills himself - all amongst a urinal and sink. To quote Simpson himself, it is a setting "never before featured on an opera stage" and it is here the brilliance of Pleasure lies. Operatic grandeur and majesty is juxtaposed with the brutality of Val's despair and the struggles of the men who come to her. Setting the scene was Simpson's stunning orchestra, whose position in view above the stage meant their part was given equal importance to those performing. Hearing Simpson's music, it is difficult to believe Pleasure is his first opera. This emphasis on stagecraft is reflected in the abstract set design where the performers weave between giant LED letters spelling "Pleasure" that change colour with the mood. It beautifully reflects the operatic medium, wherein performers draw us in with raw emotion and lifelike acting whilst the realism of the performance is contrasted by the sung libretto.
In a talk following the show, Simpson declared "characters you empathise with and live with" are the most important part of an opera, and this is partly achieved. Lesley Garrett shone in the role of Val: an utterly believable, heart-wrenching performance where she portrayed both the plight of those who feel trapped in minimum wage conditions in an elitist society and the consequences of an abusive relationship. Larger-than-life Anna Fewmore (Steven Page) also had a huge impact with cleverly portrayed comedic interchange in and exposure of the conflicted LGBT community - both internally and externally. Anna's "back stabbing lower class" background does not afford her the same freedom of expression as that of upper class Matthew (Nick Pritchard), a young man who frequents the club.
Lesley Garrett portrayed the plight of those both trapped in minimum wage conditions in an elitist society, and the consequences of enduring an abusive relationship.
However, the emotion of the piece is hindered at times by the acting direction. There was a clear desire to portray multiplicity, both of characters and plot - depicting not only Matthew's love affair with Nathan, but also the struggle in society to redefine masculinity in a modern context. This was conveyed through utilising the different levels of the stage where Anna could frequently be seen getting ready in her drag outfit on one part of the stage while another sang. While this did convey the director's intentions, it distracted the audience's attention in an opera that was already fast paced enough to cause confusion. At several points, performers faced the back of the stage whilst singing which limited the power of the performance, dramatic intentions aside. Ultimately, the show seemed too short to allow full appreciation of Nathan and Val's reunion and the tragedy of their past. Nonetheless, the brutal nature of abuse and heartbreak featured in Pleasure is expertly handled by the performers with sensitivity and grace that made the LGBT+ community more understandable and accessible without offending those for whom Pleasure is close to reality.
Whether the opera hitting so close to home is truly a bad thing is debatable. A barely contained passionate performance, combined with an emotional impact that personally affected the audience. One could argue such a tragedy hardly suits the name Pleasure, but this encapsulates Simpson's opera perfectly. It is an opera caught in contrasts, celebrating the progressive nature of Opera North and modern society by its mere conception while also shedding light on the struggles of not only the LGBT community, but also all minorities in a patriarchal system. Challenger wanted to write an opera that would make someone "fall in love with opera for the first time" and, in my case, this was certainly achieved.
