Making More Splash in Pasadena

Pasadena, Proposed Developments, Quicklink
MAKING MORE SPLASH IN PASADENA The Pasadena city council got together last week to have a look at a $4 million plan that would expand the community pool at Strawberry Park on Lafferty Rd. and Parkside Dr. into something a bit splashier, reports the Pasadena Citizen : "Progressive Commercial Aquatics' Steve Davis explained the success public and private entities have had with water parks, including nearby Pirates Bay, owned by the City of Baytown. In Davis' plan for Pasadena, the . . . project would add a new bath house, 'lazy river,' concession area, multiple shaded areas and lots of other pool features." But not all council members were sold. Says Pat Van Houte: "To me, it's not really a priority. I would look at the economics of, 'How much is this going to cost long run?'"

How Easy Is It To Get Out of Idylwood?

Public amenities to improve the quality of life is not a priority for City Council members. C'mon now. What is a priority???
If you've driven any of the neighborhoods on the north side of Pasadena, you would see what the real priority of this city needs to be. While quality of life improvements are nice, a road that resembles an off road track in a residential neighborhood is unacceptable.
Not to mention the flooding issues that continue to be a problem in parts of Pasadena.

Seriously? I think she needs a new publicist. Funny I just posted earlier on the "Dome" thread about the lack of innovative thinking by our elected reps. Pasadena should embrace this idea with open arms, anyone who lives in Houston, knows what we think about Pasadena. How about less pollution and toxic waste and more community enhancement? Really that has to be the dumbest comment anyone has said in a long while. With Adam on this one

Note: If you want to log in, but can't, try playing the game directly at http://filurk-online.appspot.com. Also note, the game doesn't work properly in Internet Explorer yet.
The goal of every level is to walk through the door. If there are Wantings in the room, you first have to bring them color in order to open the it.
Those weird little guys you encounter in most levels are called Wantings. To make them happy, you have to absorb the right color and walk into them.
You can push these around by walking into them.
When you walk on a colored tile, you absorb that color.
This are turned into colored floor tiles if you walk on them after having absorbed a color.
Step into one of these to remove your absorbed color. If you push a block into a water hole, they become a new floor tile.
You can unlock these by walking into them after having absorbed the right color (or without any color if the lock is white).


A very simple alarm circuit can be built using two transistors and several passive components. We don't know who is the inventor of this circuit, but it usually presented in many old electronics books, so let's call it "classic". This simple circuit implement complete function of an alarm, which is nothing more than an oscillator with high enough power to drive a loudspeaker. A principle of oscillator circuit is that its structure consist of amplifier with positive feedback. The gain of the amplifier should be more than unity (unity gain = 1). You can use small transistor about 50-100 mA maximum collector current with 100 or more DC gain (hFE).
The circuit consist of cascaded direct DC coupled amplifiers. The first transistor TR1 is biased by R3 resistor, then its collector current is connected directly to the base of second transistor TR2 for biasing. To make the circuit oscillates, a feedback path is provided through C3 and R4. Without the feedback path, the biasing current is selected to be low enough so there transistors wont get saturated. Look that the bias is a propagated from R3 to drive TR1, and TR1 to drive TR2. This produces small current pulse at TR2 in the beginning, but this current is continuously fed back to TR1 through C3 and R4 to produce bigger and continuous pulse oscillation. C1 is provided to make a gradual bias current for TR1 base, results in gradual change of oscillation frequency. If you omit C1 capacitor the the circuit will produce a flat tone. The speed gradual frequency changes is determined by the value of C1 capacitance, select a smaller caps for faster changes. The frequency (when flat without C1) or the frequency range (with gradual sweep by C1 existence) is determined by C3, and you can replace it with smaller caps for higher frequency.
We can watch how the assembled circuit behaves when powered activated. Below you can watch it in our Youtube channel, and you can see the generated waveform at the loudspeaker in the oscilloscope. It looks like pulses with fixed width but has variable repetition rate.

Huawei Broadens Bangladesh Book Fair Reach with Cloud Services
By Tracey E. Schelmetic, TMCnet Contributor | March 07, 2022
The Amar Ekushey Book Fair, Bangladesh's largest book fair, kicked off in mid-February and will continue for over a month until March 17th. This year, the fair is receiving significant technological support from Chinese telecom giant Huawei (News - Alert).
Huawei is providing cloud service for a virtual edition of the ongoing annual book fair to accommodate the realities of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This enabled the book fair's organizers to launch a website allowing visitors and other interested parties to experience a virtual tour, and access information and other services digitally through the website, according to Huawei.
Huawei Cloud began providing cloud services in Bangladesh in 2018, and initially facilitated the e-government execution throughout the country. It also provides solutions for media, e-commerce, manufacturing industries to help digital transformations with local service support.
Poet Nurul Huda, director general (DG) of the Bangla Academy, told Xinhua news Bangladesh is moving towards digital services, and the government is facilitating this transformation.
"This is appreciable that Huawei has come forward as a cloud partner in this initiative," said Huda in a statement.
Yuying Karl, the director for Public Affairs and Communications Department at Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Limited, said Huawei has been participating in the development of the ICT sector and serving Bangladesh through introducing world's most innovative technologies, such as the Huawei Cloud platform.
"As part of our commitment, we are happy to provide cloud service to facilitate the fair's virtual site. We believe that this website will add a new dimension to the book fair and help the Bangla Academy in many ways," said Karl in a statement.

As was the case last year PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is again serving as external statutory auditor for all Swiss Life Group companies that are directly or indirectly held by Swiss Life Holding under its scope of consolidation.
PwC confirms that it meets the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.
DURATION OF THE MANDATE AND TERM OF OFFICE OF THE LEAD AUDITOR — The Articles of Association stipulate that the external auditor is to be elected by the General Meeting of Shareholders for one financial year at a time. When Swiss Life Holding was established in 2002, PwC was named as statutory auditor and Group auditor. Since then PwC has been re-elected without fail. PwC has also acted as statutory auditor and Group auditor for Swiss Life Ltd since 1994. Swiss Life Holding last invited tenders for its statutory auditor and Group auditor mandate for the 2008 financial year. On completion of the evaluation process, the Board of Directors, in accordance with the proposal of the Audit Committee, again nominated PwC as its statutory auditor and Group auditor at the General Meeting of Shareholders.
The partner at PwC in charge of auditing the Swiss Life Holding annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements (lead auditor) took over the responsibility in the 2011 financial year. The role of lead auditor rotates in compliance with the term of office regulations stipulated by the Swiss Code of Obligations, the independency guidelines set forth by the Swiss Institute of Certified Accountants and Tax Consultants, and internal guidelines at PwC.
AUDITING FEES — In 2011 the auditing fees credited to PwC came to CHF 8.0 million (2010: CHF 9.2 million). This includes the fees for reviewing the 2011 half-year accounts.
ADDITIONAL FEES — In 2011 PwC received additional fees totalling around CHF 1.5 million for advisory services (2010: CHF 3.7 million), approximately CHF 0.7 million of which was for actuarial advisory services and CHF 0.6 million for fiscal and financial advisory services. The remainder resulted from strategic, legal and other advisory services. The advisory services were performed in compliance with the relevant independency regulations set forth in the Swiss Code of Obligations and the Audit Supervision Act.
SUPERVISORY AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS VIS-À-VIS THE AUDITORS — The Audit Committee maintains regular contact with the external auditors. It evaluates the independence of the external auditors and identifies possible conflicts of interest. It also examines the terms and conditions of the external audit mandates and assesses the audit plan and strategy for the year in question.
The external auditors submit regular written reports on the status of the auditing work. They also submit detailed reports on the half-year and annual financial statements to the Audit Committee. At the end of the year, the external auditors draw up a comprehensive report for the attention of the General Meeting of Shareholders and a detailed report on the financial year just completed for the attention of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.
The Audit Committee also acknowledges and approves the various recommendations of the external auditors, including the Management Letter. If required, the committee discusses with representatives of the external auditors any issues which could have a major impact, either collectively or individually, on the financial situation or the result of the audit.
In the year under review, representatives of the external auditors attended all Audit Committee meetings, either in their entirety or for specific items on the agenda.

That entertainment enchanter JK Rowling has come storming back to the world of magic in a shower of supernatural sparks - and created a glorious fantasy-romance adventure, all about the wizards of prohibition-era America and the diffident wizarding Brit who causes chaos in their midst with a bagful of exotic creatures. It's a lovely performance from Eddie Redmayne who is a pretty fantastic beast himself. There's a moment when he has to "whisper" an errant animal into submission and his contortions would put Andy Serkis to shame.
His Newt is a connoisseur, scientist and scatterbrained magic-beast taxonomist who is not far from the scarf-swathed Dr Who, a specless Potter or beardless Darwin. Redmayne's distinctively breathy voice even has something of the young Attenborough. With the openness and likability of his screen presence, and the sheer generosity of movie-making energy, he and the cast are giving us an early Christmas treat.
Potter veteran David Yates directs and Rowling has adapted the Hogwarts textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by one Newt Scamander: the first name is short for "Newton" and nothing to do with the witch's ingredient. This was a fictional work of magical scholarship first mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and which Rowling herself wrote out and published in aid of Comic Relief a couple of years later. So who was Scamander? Rowling gives us the answer by converting this static encyclopaedia into a spectacular action-adventure about the origins of his book, set in New York City of the prewar era, 70 or 80 years before Philosopher's Stone. Does that make it a prequel? Sort of. There are a few hints and allusions, including a namecheck for Dumbledore.
It promises to be the first of a series and it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Rowling already has every detail sorted out for the entire saga in architectural detail – and that she got it straight in her mind before writing the first Potter.
Fantastic Beasts is a rich, baroque, intricately detailed entertainment with some breathtaking digital fabrications of prewar New York City. This is Steampunk 2.0, taking its inspirations from Terry Gilliam's Brazil or Howard Hawks's His Girl Friday but the New York she creates also has the dark, traumatised look of Gotham City. The American wizards themselves are subject to an internal debate about their attitude to the civilians; in America a muggle is known as a "no-maj". It's a schism that threatens to reach X-Men proportions.
The donnish and unworldly Newt arrives in New York on the hunt for some rare species, and just so happens to be carrying quite a few exotic specimens himself in his battered suitcase with its worryingly insecure clasps. But the city in which he has just arrived has been threatened by some kind of dark poltergeist-whirlwind of dark magic, smashing its way through streets and buildings, which is called an obscurial.
Daft Newt causes calamity almost immediately on arriving by creating a rumpus in a bank with his animals – and a quirk of fate means he forms the unlikeliest of friendships with a no-maj, Jacob Kowlaski (a beguiling performance from Dan Fogler) an ex-soldier stuck in a factory job but nursing big dreams about opening his own bakery. But Newt, our sweet-natured gentleman amateur from across the pond, exasperates the US wizard authorities and in particular their tough operative Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) who herself has issues with her superiors. Tina finds herself having to protect Newt and Jacob and brings our two amigos back to the apartment she shares with her telepathic sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) who gets the hots for Jacob. And might there also be a spark between Newt and Tina? Meanwhile, creepy anti-witch activist Mary Lou (Samantha Morton) and her adopted son Credence (Ezra Miller) appear to have a disquieting connection with top wizard-apparatchik Percival Graves (Colin Farrell).
It's a very Rowling universe, dense with fun, but always taking its own jeopardy very seriously and effortlessly making you do the same. The Beasts movies may actually make clearer Rowling's under-discussed debt to Roald Dahl. They also show that her universe with its exotic fauna is in the best way, a cousin to that of George Lucas.
There is a strange pleasure of seeing how her magic itself is as potent as ever. The muggle or no-maj world we are seeing is nearly a century old, but the basic language and furniture and procedure of magic is not in any way older or rudimentary. It is the same thing. They have moving pictures on newspapers in the same way as the present day. As ever, magic is a state within a state, a secret in plain sight, and part of the fun is being let in on the secret.
Katherine Waterston is great as Tina and perhaps gives the Rowling universe what it never quite had until now: a really strong young female lead who could tackle the bad guys on equal terms with the man - as well as having the chops for romance.
Rowling and Yates have given us a terrifically good-natured, unpretentious and irresistibly buoyant film. There's a scene in a speakeasy where someone orders "six shots of giggle-water." This film felt to me like twelve.


Tartan Day is a celebration of Scottish heritage on April 6, the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.
Easter is the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion, which is marked on Good Friday. Canadians commonly refer to Easter as the period from Good Friday through Easter Monday.


Wondering which NYC airport to fly into? Let me explain your options and the pros and cons of each.
Heading to New York City?! You are going to have the greatest time! Need to decide how you which New York City airport to fly into? Let me help you out.
You have three options: JFK, Laguardia, and Newark.
Pick this airport if: It is great if you are loyal to Jet Blue – they have a big beautiful terminal there. This is also the place to go if you have a longer haul or international flight.
Getting to and from JFK: It's farther away than LGA but there is subway and Airtrain access. The subway to JFK usually takes at least 90 minutes (A or E train) from Manhattan but it's reliable and you don't have to worry about traffic. You can also use Blade helicopter service from Manhattan (not cheap, but very convenient). Personally, I thought taking the Long Island Railroad from Penn Station to Jamaica and transferring to the Airtrain was easiest. The ride from Penn Station to the Jamaica station is 23 minutes making it faster than the subway.
What to eat while you are there: There are plenty of excellent lounges, especially in the international terminal (Delta, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, British Airways) as well as food options including two Shake Shack locations and Marcus Samuelsson's Uptown Brasserie.
Pick this airport if: It's the most convenient if you are going to be staying in the Upper East Side, Queens, or North Brooklyn. LGA doesn't have international (other than Canada) or longer haul (West Coast) flights. If you need a shuttle flight to Boston, Chicago, or DC this is your place. Delta and American have a lot of flights out of LGA so if you are loyal to those airlines this is your best bet.
Getting to and from LGA: There is no easy public transportation, you can take a bus or a subway to a bus, but Uber or taxi is the best option.
What to eat while you are there: There are limited lounge and food options at the airport. There is an Amex Centurion lounge between terminals B & C but it's before security. My favorite pizza place, Artichoke Pizza, has a location in Terminal C.
Pick this airport if: Don't overlook this airport because it is in New Jersey, this is your best bet if you live in west side Manhattan or New Jersey. This is one of United's main hubs so if you're a loyalist, this is likely the best airport. It has a negative perception because it's in New Jersey but it's really not that far from Manhattan. For me, flying into Newark was a much better experience than leaving. On the day we were leaving the TSA PRE check line was closed (at 4pm on a Tuesday) and the security line was crazy long. We were flying Southwest and the gate area was small, overcrowded, and only had two restaurant options, and only one bathroom.
Getting to and from ERW: You can take direct buses to/from Manhattan (Port Authority, Bryant Park, Grand Central) or take NJ transit trains or Amtrak. Note that if you have a very early flight it's sometimes hard to use the public transit, so you may have to take an Uber or cab. If taking a cab or car try to avoid morning and evening rush hours as tunnel traffic can be very bad. Without traffic the trip takes about 45 minutes from the West Village.
What to eat while you are there: The food options are not great. You might want to pack something to snack on.
The one thing that drives me nuts about NYC is that none of the airports are easy to get to. The subway system doesn't go all the way there and no matter which airport you are going, to the journey from the airport to the city will likely take at least an hour. If you live in a nearby city (Boston, Philly, Washington DC, etc) you should definitely take the train instead of a plane.
Want a little help deciding what to do in NYC? Here are some posts to get you going.
Thanks to my sister, Kelly, for helping me with this post!

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose plans to play Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers after missing three of the Knicks past four games because of back spasms.Thats the plan, he said after participating in a full practice on Monday. I just want to put all these injuries behind me and get on with the season.Rose said that he no longer feels the effects of the spasms and doesnt believe that they will hamper him throughout the season.I think its just a one-shot thing, he said. Before I fell I wasnt worried about it. Things like this are going to happen. It comes with the season -- bumps and falls. I just got to find a way around it. I cant let it get to me mentally.Rose initially felt the spasms in the first half of the Knicks win over Miami on Dec. 6. He missed New Yorks next two games and returned on Dec. 11, scoring 25 points in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers.Roses spasms then flared up again during the Knicks next game against Phoenix, which Rose left after playing just 10 minutes.He missed the Knicks next two games, both losses. The Knicks have lost three straight and have gone 1-3 in games Rose has missed due to the back ailment.Hes obviously very important for us, Kristaps Porzingis said. Just having another guy that can attack and create for others and be the aggressor.The Knicks have taken a cautious approach with Rose, who has a history of serious injuries, though not related to his back.Rose played in 39 percent of his games in the previous four seasons, missing time due to various injuries, including three significant knee ailments. He had played in every game in his first season in New York prior to missing time because of back spasms and was a significant reason for the Knicks strong start.In 23 games, Rose is averaging 16.4 points (45.6 percent shooting), four rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.He seems excited to get back on the court and continue his season.I just want to put this behind me, Rose said.

I have an ltmodem (it works with RH8.0) and have just installed Gentoo as a dual-boot. I ran emerge ltmodem, which installed with no reported problems. I checked /etc/modules.conf for the proper alias lines and they are present. I ran ls -l /dev/modem and the symbolic link is present.
I've done pretty much the same as I've done to get it working with redhat. Anyone who has gotten gentoo and ltmodem to work together...let me in on the secret would you!
I appreciate any and all help. Thanks.
did you remember to modprobe the driver?

Q: Weid cuda driver state after forgetting to clean up resources before suspending the computer I've been doing CUDA development for a while on Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-46-generic, Nvidia driver 410.48 and a GeForce GTX 1060 card.

Do you have any tips on how to "reset" the driver state (what ever is causing this) without rebooting? Logging in and out doesn't seem to fix it, and even that is almost as inconvenient than a full restart. I wouldn't like to re-open all my applications.

A: On the nvidia forums, someone is suggesting that reloading the driver might do away with the restart.
Here are the steps they mention (I haven't tested this):

*

*Stop all programs using the driver (particularly X11)

*lsmod | grep nvidia and rmmod the modules with zero use count. You should do this in dependency order (the column on the right shows the modules that this driver depends on)

*Repeat until no Nvidia kernel modules are loaded.

*modprobe nvidia to reload the driver.

*Restart X11 or whatever was using the GPU

Note that due to step 1, you may lose all open applications (which depend on X11). However, if you setup your X11 to not use NVidia graphics, but the Intel integrated one, then you should be able to reload the driver with minimal impact.
Let us know if this works!

Chris Douglas-Roberts game winner keeps Bobcats alive for six seed
By Kurt HelinApr 15, 2014, 12:45 AM EDT
Washington had already won, knocking off a shorthanded and disinterested Heat team. Charlotte has dreams of the six seed (and avoiding the Heat in the first round) but to do that they had to come from behind against Atlanta on Monday night.
They did thanks to Chris Douglas-Roberts' game winner.
CDR has scored about 6.8 points a game this season and has become better known for his hair, but ever since college he has been a guy able to score on awkward shots. He did that here. He was not the intended target on this play — notice the Hawks left the inbounder open to double team Al Jefferson — and eventually Douglas-Roberts pops out up top off a screen, has enough time to dribble into the lane and put up a floater.
With the win the Bobcats remain one game back of Wizards for the six seed and it's a longshot they get it even though the Bobcats have the tie breaker. Wednesday night the Bobcats would have to beat the Bulls and the Wizards would have to fall to Boston for Charlotte to get the tie they need. Not likely.
But CDR keeps hope alive for a couple more days.

Our little boy James was diagnosed with leukemia (B-cell ALL) just over a year ago at the age of 5. We're a third of the way through active treatment at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital and while it is still a battle, we count our blessings every day. One of James's dreams was to go see the Warriors play basketball - through your generosity and care we saw them win against Orlando a few weeks ago. James was ecstatic! Thank you for keeping Nicholas's memory alive and spreading joy throughout the lives of these children who are fighting every day.
We want to thank the Nicholas (Colby Fund) for making it possible for our family to attend the concerts. Our lives changed once our son passed away from cancer. We thought we would never have fun again after his passing but with those experiences we found ourselves smiling once again. The Nicholas (Colby Fund) has brought joy to our family.
Thank you for the amazing night we had! My son Baylor and his sister Maddie have a memory of their first Warriors game that will absolutely never be forgotten. They felt like VIP's from the very beginning. When I put the kids down for bed I asked them if they had a good time? Maddie said "This was one of the best nights of my life!" Thank you for making a positive memory for my whole family after such a difficult year!
I had a conversation recently with a woman (whose daughter is a) 2016 Light The Night Honored Hero. Lyndsay was telling me about the incredible experience that they had through the Nicholas Colby Fund, and she was practically star-struck when I mentioned that your family was involved with LLS and the Walk. It was clear that you had made an incredible, positive impact on (this) family.
Thank you Nicholas Colby Fund for giving our almost 4 year old daughter Ariana an amazing night out at the Circus last night! It was the first time she has been out anywhere besides the hospital since February when she was first diagnosed. When we told her we were going to the Circus, she said, "Mommy, can I get out of the car?" She danced, and laughed and had the best time!
There were over two dozen luxury suite experiences at Oracle Arena – a major entertainment venue in the San Francisco Bay Area – to enjoy NBA professional basketball via World Champion Golden State Warriors, Disney on Ice, Harlem Globetrotters, several concerts, and more.
We thank everyone supporting our work aligned with this quote from Walt Disney, "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

"The physician's highest calling, his only calling, is to make sick people healthy --- to heal --- as it is termed. The highest ideal of therapy is to restore health rapidly, gently, permanently; to remove and destroy the whole disease in the shortest, surest, least harmful way, according to clearly comprehensible principles."
– Samuel Hahnemann, Father of Homeopathy, Organon of Medicine, 1810.
What Is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a complete system of natural medicine that has been in worldwide use for over 200 years. It is a profoundly effective, safe and gentle system of healing which works by stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. It will not just drive away the symptoms but addresses the cause of the illness. It views the illness as more spiritual in nature, much as Chinese and India's Ayurvedic medicine espouses the idea that illness results from an imbalance within the body.
Homeopathy is a holistic medicine as it addresses the whole person on mental, emotional and physical levels. It sees all symptoms of illness as expressions of disharmony within the whole person and recognizes that it is the individual who needs treatment, not only the disease. For establishing the balance in the body, an internal single remedy for the whole person will be needed, rather than a number of different remedies for each ailment.
Homeopathic concepts have existed for thousands of years but it was the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann, who in the 18th century first made these concepts into a comprehensive system of healing principles and practices. The most fundamental of these principles is the Law of Similars or 'like cures like'. The Law of Similars states that the symptoms that a substance causes in a healthy individual are the symptoms that the same substance in a small dose can remove in a person's ill state of health.
Take onion, for example. We know that when cutting a strong onion we often experience a discharge from nose, a particular soreness in the throat and stinging, runny eyes. A homeopath will advise Allium cepa (the homeopathic remedy made from onion) for the patient who has these particular symptoms.
The Homeopathic Consultation
A session with a homeopathic practitioner is a unique experience for someone accustomed to conventional medicine.
During the homeopathic consultation you will be asked to talk not only about your complaints, but also about the individual way in which you experience them, your reactions to them and how they affect your life. As the homeopath sees every health problem as a mind-body process, your personality traits are as important as your physical well-being.
The Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic, non-habit forming, free from side effects and gentle in their action. They are easy to take and pleasant to the taste.
The homeopathic remedy acts as a signal, which stimulates body's self-healing powers, mobilizing the defense systems and working on the mental, emotional and physical aspect of the body.
Homeopathic remedies may be recommended in a number of different strengths, or potencies, as they are called, and in different ways. The homeopath chooses the method to suit the individual and the nature of the health challenge.
The Potential of Homeopathy
Homeopathy has been used by people worldwide. It has enjoyed the patronage of the British royal family for the past four generations. It is particularly effective in helping people with chronic symptoms that fail to respond to conventional treatment.
People who have been receiving homeopathic care generally find that their state of health and well-being has improved. They are better to resist infection and have a greater sense of stability and individual purpose in life.
The long-term benefit of homeopathy is that it not only ameliorates the presenting symptoms but it reestablishes internal order at the deepest levels and thereby provides a lasting health improvement.
Where Homeopathy has Proven Effective
Homeopathy can be used in first aid situations or acute health problems, which don't require a medical doctor's intervention, or long-term chronic conditions, as well as emotional problems, obstetrical and pediatric conditions. It also can be extremely useful as a preventive medicine for constitutional strengthening. Homeopathy is also safe to use during pregnancy, for infants and the elderly.
In all cases, the remedy is selected on the totality of the symptoms one expresses, along with the uniqueness of each personality and the information one gives to the homeopath.
In acute conditions, such as minor burns, skin irritations, insect stings or bites, teething or tooth pain, homeopathy can speeds up and assist in the recovery process.
Since homeopathy treats the person, not the disease, even in advanced cases, where curative treatment isn't possible, homeopathic remedies may prove effective in improving quality of life.
Constitutional Strengthening
In this category, the person's goal is the improvement or strengthening of his or her general overall health. Homeopathic care on a constitutional level can boost the weak constitution and decrease its susceptibility to illness.
History of Homeopathy
Over 200 years ago, a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), developed a system of medical treatment called Homeopathy. Based on his observations and experiments, he formulated the Principle of Similarity, which states that substances which cause reactions in a healthy body or mind can be used in an extremely diluted form to address the same reactions, which are part of the process of being unwell. He devoted his life to developing this system, in part by performing Provings, in which healthy humans are given small experimental doses of the homeopathic substance to gauge the effects. Hahnemann proved almost every remedy of his time on himself while he was alive.
In 1810, Dr. Hahnemann published the first edition of the Organon. Five more editions appeared during his lifetime; the sixth was written in 1842 and published posthumously. Even today, every serious study of homeopathy begins with the Organon. The most advanced homeopaths base their practice on the 6th Organon. See FAQs.
History of Homeopathy in the States
In 1825, several physicians who had studied in Europe brought homeopathy to the United States. Soon, other doctors followed their lead. By the mid-1800's, several medical colleges taught homeopathy, growing to 22 within a few decades. Faced with a popular rival, the medical establishment soon drove homeopathy into the background. By the 1940s, homeopathy was no longer officially taught in the U.S.
In recent decades, homeopathy has enjoyed a resurgence. Physicians don't have treatments for many diseases. Some patients find homeopathy when forced out of the medical world. Others seek more holistic approaches to healing or don't want the side effects of drug therapy, a common western way of suppressing symptoms.
Principles of Homeopathy
Samuel Hahnemann's revolutionary system of healing is based on the four fundamental principles:
• the law of similars
• the single remedy,
• the minimal dose, and
• the potentized remedy
The Law of Similars
The total picture of the patient should be as similar as possible to the symptom picture of the selected remedy. This is known as "similia similibus curentur" or "likes cure likes." This principle states that any remedy that has power to derange your health also can restore it – if customized to fit the individual. That is why the same health challenge in two patients may call for two different remedies.
The Single Remedy
"Unitary" or, more often termed, "classical" homeopathy means that only one remedy is given at a time, because only one remedy can correspond properly to a patient's complete condition. A prescription that doesn't aim for this totality isn't homeopathic. Homeopathy is based on provings, and there have never been provings done on a combination remedy.
The Minimal Dose
Remedies are diluted to extremely small or infinitesimal doses. That's because in homeopathy, less is more. This also allows almost any substance to be used as a remedie without any side effects. Homeopathic remedies are thought to work on a deep plane and resonate with the body, triggering a positive healing response from the person's own vital force.
The Potentized Remedy
Disease occurs on an energetic level. So does homeopathy. All remedies undergo a process to increase their healing energy — first, dilution of ingredients, then a vigorous shaking (succussion). It is believed that when a remedy is succussed or shaken vigorously, the water molecules take on a photographic memory of the original substance. The more a remedy is diluted, the stronger its ability to stimulate healing becomes.
Other useful principles of homeopathy to understand:
A carefully chosen homeopathic remedy stimulates the body's healing process. The idea is to gently encourage the movement toward health. A remedy that is too strong or given too often can result in an aggravation, where symptoms are temporarily intensified. While some homeopaths believe an aggravation is necessary to procure a healing, this isn't so. However, aggravations are sometimes unavoidable, if there have been many years of suppression of symptoms with western medications.
A homeopathic remedy must be customized to fit the individual's state of imbalance, an approach called "individualization." The totality of the symptoms gathered -- physical, emotional and mental -- will guide the homeopath to the correct choice of the homeopathic remedy.
Provings
Each homeopathic remedy is first tested in healthy volunteers and their symptoms recorded to develop a complete profile of the remedy. Such trials are known as "provings." Since all remedies have been proved before used, we can predict the kind of symptoms they will correct in advance. This is one of the great things about homeopathy.
Vital Force
According to homeopathic thinking, an ill health originates from a disturbance of the patient's "vital force." This is the essential energy that sustains life. Homeopathic remedies seek to restore balance and fundamental strength to the life force.
Homeopathy not only restore and maintain health but it can also prevent illness. It can correct imbalances long before the appearance of the more serious symptoms, which denote a particular disease.

The KooKoo Sports Review
"Easy to Read" Sports Blog from a very opinionated sports freak...who just so happens to have a journalism degree and a background in sports. Because the world needs ONE more medium to discuss life's greatest joy...(no not kids).
Straight Sick!
Cy Young once said, "Gosh, all a kid has to do these days is spit straight and he gets forty-thousand dollars to sign!" I assure you Stephen Strasburg didn't have to spit at all! Strasburg, baseball prodigy and pitcher for the Washington Nationals, will make his major league pitching debut tonight (Tuesday, June 8, 2010) in Washington against the Pittsburg Pirates. It is the most anticipated debut in MLB history. Care to know why #37 Jerseys have been selling like water on a hot Texas day…when Strasburg hasn't played one major league game?
Strasburg, 21 native of San Diego, has sold out every venue he has pitched in since high school. Tickets to his debut with the Nationals sold out in two hours and 200 media credentials were distributed, three times the normal amount. The 2009 Baseball America High School Player of the Year skipped his final two seasons of high school ball and earned his GED to play baseball at San Diego State Junior College in 2010. His record at San Diego State was 8-3, with a 1.57 earned run average and 133 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings. And…just so you won't question his ability as a well-rounded star…he can also play third base (3B) and right field (RF).
Beyond highly touted and compensated to reflect his clout, anyone with even a slight interest in baseball should wonder…will he be worth the hype? Strasburg was handed a 15.1 million dollar signing bonus in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft as the number one overall pick by Washington. In 2001 the Cubs drafted pitcher Mark Prior for 10.5 million (record setting signing bonus till the 15.1 million awarded Strasburg) Prior was released by the San Diego Padres in 2009. Another prospect in 2001 was dealt 9.5 million by Texas Rangers. However, Mark Teixeira, also a client of the famed agent Scot Boras (known for being a lethal negotiator in baseball and Strasburg's agent) has had a little better luck. Teixeira garnered the largest signing bonus given to a position player (3B) in draft history. After seasons with the Rangers, Angels and Braves…Big Tex signed a Texas sized $180 million dollar package deal with the New York Yankees in December 2008. In addition to owning a 2009 World Series Championship ring, he also led the AL in both home runs (tied with Carlos Pena of Tampa Bay) with 39 and RBIs with 122.
So will Strasburg be a Mark Prior or a Mark Teixeira? Reports are that he will be a Stephen Strasburg and unlike anything seen in baseball history. The excitement surrounding him is certainly unlike anything the Washington Nationals have ever seen. For now it is watch and wait…something the baseball loyal will all be doing tonight!

The Gremlin (born Kondrati Topolov) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #163 (May 1973).

Although initially an adversary of the Hulk, the Gremlin is apparently killed in battle with Iron Man during the Armor Wars.

Concept and creation
Co-creator Steve Englehart recounted, "I've always treated the entire run of a book, up to the point that I took it over, as worthy of respect. So I was always interested in where series started out, and how they developed in their early days. The Gargoyle had indeed been in Hulk #1, so I thought it would be fun to connect to him—but I had to make something interesting for my time, not just wave at the past. I thought, 'Gargoyle + Kremlin = Gremlin'."

Fictional character biography
Kondrati Topolov is the son of Russian scientist Yuri Topolov, also known as the Gargoyle, and is himself a mutant. Kondrati inherited his father's grotesque appearance and superhuman intelligence, although he was born disfigured unlike his father, who was mutated over time due to exposure to radioactive materials. His father was cured by a captured Bruce Banner using gamma rays and died killing other Soviets in an explosion. A brilliant scientist like his father, he created the high-tech gear used by the Soviet Super-Troopers (the immediate precursor to the Soviet Super-Soldiers), and for a time wore the Titanium Man power armor. He operated out of a secret base named Bitterfrost in Khystym, Siberia. He created a pet for himself named Droog, which was an intelligent, talking, Triceratops-like monster created through genetic engineering.

As the Gremlin, he first clashed with the Hulk at the Gremlin's secret base in the Arctic. Gremlin's men then captured General "Thunderbolt" Ross. The Hulk and General Ross later invaded the Gremlin's Bitterfrost base in Siberia to rescue the captured Major Glenn Talbot. The Gremlin and his pet Droog contended with the Hulk, but Bitterfrost was destroyed by S.H.I.E.L.D. Later, with the Soviet Super-Soldiers, Rom and Starshine, the Gremlin helped defeat the alien Dire Wraiths. The Gremlin then officially joined the Soviet Super-Soldiers.

The Gremlin next appeared as the second Titanium Man, wearing a new suit of the power armor he had originally created for Boris Bullsky. With the other Soviet Super-Soldiers, he contended with the X-Men and the Avengers in an attempt to capture Magneto. Later, the Gremlin fought Iron Man while wearing the Titanium Man armor during the "Armor Wars". Iron Man - despite using his weaker stealth armor - managed to defeat the Crimson Dynamo in the fight but was unable to neutralize the Gremlin, who destroyed Iron Man's negator pack. When the Gremlin grabbed Iron Man and the armored Avenger attempted to escape, his booster jets ignited the titanium armor. The Titanium Man armor exploded, apparently burning the Gremlin to death within it and forcing Iron Man to flee.

Powers and abilities
The Gremlin is a mutant who has inherited the immense intelligence of his father, the Gargoyle, where he gained it from an atomic accident. He had completed doctoral programs in various sciences and attained mastery over many areas of technology. Towards the end of his career, he wore the Titanium Man battlesuit that granted him tremendous strength, physical resistance, hypersonic flight, and the ability to utilize energy as weapons.

Other characters named Gremlin
 There was a Gremlin who appeared in Sub-Mariner #61. He is an agent of Doctor Hydro and one of his Hydro-Men where he hijacked an airplane that Namorita and Betty Dean Prentiss were on. The Gremlin used a disc which could hypnotize others.

Cellular subscriptions soared in July setting new net additions record. Subscriber additions totaled 3.05 mln, 16.3 mln YTD increase or 25.64 mln growth (95%) from July 2003. Total number of cellular customers in the country reached almost 53 mln. Russian cellular penetration stood at 36.2% as of 31 July 2004 (18.5% in July 2003).
Moscow alone brought 360k new customers or 12% of the overall Russian additions. Vimpelcom adopted a stricter churn policy in the Moscow License Area. The company reduced deactivation period of inactive (with zero balance) subscribers from 5 to 4 months, which resulted in modest net additions for the second month in a row. MTS attracted over 230k new customers in July and returned the leadership in Moscow that was lost to Vimpelcom back in January 2002. MegaFon signed up more than 110k net new users - record high result for the company on the Moscow market.
Vimpelcom was the leader in St Petersburg net sales, and attracted the largest number of subscribers in other regions (outside Moscow and St.Petersburg). MegaFon outperfomed our expectations and is to reach 10 mln subscribers already in August.
On 16 July 2004 MTS announced an acquisition of Uzdunrobita - leading GSM/AMPS operator of Uzbekistan. The deal was closed on August 2, 2004 and we plan to start consolidation of Uzdunrobita's subsciber numbers in MTS starting August 2004. Currently Uzdunrobita serves around 224,000 subscribers.
Very tough net additions race has been observed in Ukraine. So far MTS (UMC) leads the market with Kyivstar following it closely. The competition may intensify further as DCC and WellCOM roll-out nation-wide networks and get into the hunt for low-budget customers.
In Belarus MTS is close to win the leadership from the incumbent GSM operator - Velcom. MTS started providing service in Belarus in June 2002. Acceleration of cellular development in the country is also expected after the 3rd GSM player comes into arena (based on the tender that is currently under way). However, the majority of CIS contries are still lagging far behind Russia both in terms of the growth rates and penetration levels.
Put together all CIS cellular players had ~65 mln (including Russia) customers as of 30 June 2004 with Russia and Ukraine serving 76% and 13% subscribers respectively.

The New Year has only just begun and we already have hit full pace at the Bushfire CRC. It has been an active time for fires right across the country. As the northern and central Australia fires settled down after many months of activity, the southern part of the continent took its turn.
At the request of our local partner agencies, the Bushfire CRC has sent research teams in the aftermath of the fires to Tasmania, and will soon send teams to fire-affected areas in New South Wales and Victoria. This is a vital service that the Bushfire CRC fulfils for all its partners. The planning and implementation of these research task forces is no small task in itself for the Bushfire CRC management, and it requires a big extra commitment from our researchers, but it provides an excellent opportunity to gather information and share the knowledge from major fires across Australia.
The active fire season has also given us the opportunity to talk more widely to the public through the media about our research. As the article in this newsletter says, many Bushfire CRC people have been regulars in the media, providing analysis in their area of expertise.
Meanwhile, late last week the Governing Board of the Bushfire CRC met to discuss a range of issues, including progress on securing funding for our future research program. I remain hopeful that the funding situation will soon be resolved. I will keep you up to date with developments in this area as they occur.

RSPCA Inspectors today seized more than 70 animals from a property in the outskirts of Perth. The animals included sheep, dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs and rabbits.
Some of the animals were left with no food or water and were wallowing in filthy conditions.
This comes after RSPCA Inspectors seized 50 cats from a separate Perth property after animals were found living in appalling conditions just 10 days ago.
"We were shocked to receive another report about a significant amount of animals living in appalling conditions inside of two weeks," RSPCA CEO David van Ooran said.
The RSPCA's shelter was originally built to accommodate 170 animals and today's operation takes the total number of animals in RSPCA's care to over 370 animals which has stretched the charity's resources to the limit.
"We are currently experiencing a crisis with more than twice the amount of animals normally in our care," Mr van Ooran said.
"Many of these animals are a result of irresponsible breeders and will require extensive medical treatment and long term care. Currently, on average, it costs us $15 a day to provide basic needs for each animal, which does not include costs for veterinary medicines.
"We are calling on the public to urgently help us with donations, to help fund urgent treatment and accommodation to house the influx of animals and we are looking for foster carers.
"It is critical that the public continues to report these matters to the RSPCA because without the support of our community we cannot continue to respond to these calls for help and rescue animals from these appalling conditions," Mr van Ooran said.
Anyone wishing to donate to the RSPCA's animal crisis appeal to help during this crisis period can ring 1300 777 221 or donate online.

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B address beef rumours
Minaj describes the speculation as "so tired"
By Luke Morgan Britton
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have addressed speculation that they were taking shots at each other on their recent collaboration 'MotorSport'.
The two rappers both appeared on new Migos track 'MotorSport', the first single from the trio's upcoming album 'Culture II'.
Following speculation from fans that Cardi and Minaj were taking aim at one another in their verses, both acts have now come out to dismiss the claims.
"It's so annoying," Cardi B recently told Complex (see in the video below). "I feel like people wouldn't even be satisfied even if me and [Nicki] was making out… I feel like people just want that drama."
"Very true," Minaj tweeted in response. "We could make out & it wouldn't be enough." Nicki also tweeted to deny claims that she didn't know Cardi would be on the track.
Describing the beef rumours as "so tired", Minaj added: "Imagine me not knowing who on a song [with] me… These are men in our culture who simply refuse to let it go. They don't do this to male MCs."
See Cardi B's comments and Minaj's tweets below.

Nicki Minaj recently spoke out against sexism in hip hop. "In any field, women must work TWICE as hard to even get HALF the respect her male counterparts get," she commented on Twitter. "When does this stop?"
Earlier this year, Cardi B became the first solo female rap artist in 19 years to reach number one on the US singles Billboard with 'Bodak Yellow'. Minaj was one of the many female artists to congratulate Cardi on the achievement, tweeting, "Bardi, this is the only thing that matters!!! Enjoy it."

Linda from N.C. says:
Just listened to the last 3 podcasts. Here are my theory. Desmond and Penny in the alternate time line….Penny is Widmore's daughter. Maybe she is divorced and has a son named Charlie. If Widmore knows more than we think, He may be going on the notion of keep your friends close and your enemies closer. It is odd that if Desmond is Widmore's right hand man why hasn't he met Widmore's family.
In the original time line….. If Widmore is team Jacob then his knowledge of the island and MIB/smokie could be the reason why he opposes Desmond and Penny's relationship so much. He knows exactly who Desmond is.
Linda in N.C. says:
Just realized that I didn't include this…..
I think Desmond is MIB's son.
Mandy in Kentucky says:
I just finished watching The End for the 2nd time. I loved it as I've come to love all of the Lost shows, but I can't help but be frustrated not knowing about some of the characters. Where are the ones that weren't in the chapel like Miles, Ana Lucia, Danielle, Alex and others. Are their spirits still roaming the island? Is Ben not dead and that's why he didn't go in the chapel? What is the explanation for David? Is he Jack's imaginary son that he dealt with the way he wished his father had dealt with him? In other words, is David, young Jack? I have loved your podcasts. It's added so much to my appreciation of Lost. I will miss you.

Did You Know This About the Great Wall of China?
In honor of Jason Lester's upcoming run across the Great Wall, we'd like to devote this post to one of the greatest wonder's of the world!
The Great Wall of China represents one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by any civilization. Construction of the Great Wall, by an army of soldiers, prisoners and local people, began in the third century B.C. as a defensive structure between the warring kingdoms, but has stood strong through the centuries as the great Chinese dynasties rose and fell.
The Great Wall as it exists today is a network of thousands of miles of wall, like a gigantic dragon, constructed over the course of 2,000 years. Though many sections have been dismantled and rebuilt over the centuries, the largest section, constructed during the Ming Dynasty, was over 5,500 miles long with much of that still intact today.
Between the 18th and 20th centuries, the Great Wall emerged as the most common symbol of China for the Western world. It has come to represent the vast and enduring strength of China and its people. In fact, the Wall has been incorporated into Chinese mythology and symbolism.
In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially designated The Great Wall of China as a World Heritage site stating that it is "an outstanding example of the superb military architecture, technology and art of ancient China," and is "a perfect example of architecture integrated into the landscape."
The Great Wall welcomes close to 10 million visitors annually, has been host to a long list of significant world leaders and remains one of the most fascinating and enduring structures in the world, capturing the imagination of generations.
Some interesting facts about the Wall:
Many people died while building the wall and were simply buried in the wall. It is thought that the ancient people did this to save funeral expenses, to save building materials and to protect the foundations.
The Wall can be seen from space.
The width of the Wall is about 4-5 meters.
Of all the sections of the Wall, Badaling is the most visited, and the largest. It is located 43 miles northwest of Beijing.
The Wall is a powerful symbol of China's enduring strength.

Q: Is the norm of a basis element of $\mathbb{R}^n$ always equal to $1$? Is it possible to have a norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert$ such that $$\Vert e_k \Vert \neq 1$$
where $e_k$, $k = 1, \dots, n$ is one of the standard basis elements of $\mathbb{R}^n$?

A: Sure, define an inner product on $\mathbb{R}^n$ as follows:
$$\langle a_1e_1 + ... + a_ne_n , b_1e_1 + ... + b_ne_n \rangle = 2a_1b_1 + ... + 2a_nb_n $$
This is positive definite, linear in both parts, symmetric.
Then $||v|| = \sqrt{\langle v, v\rangle}$, and $||e_i|| = \sqrt{2}$
And as the comments implied, there is nothing particularly special about $\sqrt{2}$ in this case, this will work if you replace 2 by any positive real number in the definition of the inner product. Additionally, if instead of defining the inner product with respect to linear combinations of the standard basis, you defined it similarly but with respect to linear combinations of some other basis, you are likely to get that the norm of standard basis vectors are very different from $1$, and potentially not all equal.

Top 6 Places Tourist Attractions in Poland
Poland is a verifiable nation with 14 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and an assortment of amazing characteristic corners — mountains, national parks, tough coastlines, and some unforeseen normal ponders, for example, the world's most seasoned salt mine.
With its medieval design, upset WWII history, and numerous towns that appear to be stuck in time, Poland is the ideal goal for history buffs and engineering darlings. Poland's urban communities are murmuring with the vitality of workmanship and culture and are an extraordinary beginning stage to find everything the nation brings to the table.
Regardless of in case you're after history, workmanship, or nature, plan your encounter with our rundown of the top vacation spots in Poland.
#1 Warsaw Old Market Place, Warsaw
Warsaw Old Market Place
The oldest part of Warsaw, the Old Town Market Place dates back to the 13th century. Although 85 percent of the area was destroyed by the Nazis during World War II, it has since been restored to look exactly like it did when it was first built.
A mix of medieval architecture, Gothic, and colorful Renaissance buildings and merchant houses all coexist in the city's most popular square. The 19th-century bronze statue of a sword-wielding mermaid — a symbol of Warsaw's since medieval times — survived the War and still stands at the square.
Today, the Market Square is home to many cafés and restaurants, as well as street art sellers and many souvenir stalls. The main branch of the Historical Museum of Warsaw is also located here — home to a massive art collection but also a look through the history of the city and country.
The Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature, just steps away, pays homage to Poland's most famous poet and writer.
#2 Lazienki Park, Warsaw
Palace on the Isle in Lazienki Park
Lazienki Park covers 76 hectares of the city center, making it one of Poland's largest urban parks. Lazienki started life as a baths park for a nobleman in the 17th century. Today, the Palace on the Isle is open to the public, as are the gardens around it.
A Classical-theater isle stage (where performances are still held), a number of smaller palaces and structures that now serve as museums or galleries, and even a classicist temple dedicated to the goddess Diana are set in the gardens.
A large statue of classic Polish composer Frederic Chopin stands on the grounds of the park as well. The statue was purposely destroyed by German forces as they invaded Poland during WWII and reconstructed in 1958 using the original mold. Every Sunday afternoon, free piano concerts are held at the foot of the statue.
#3 Crooked Forest, Gryfino
Crooked Forest
Located just outside the tiny town of Gryfino, the Crooked Forest is a (perhaps) natural marvel that defies explanation. Here, a number of pine trees stand on their own, growing with a 90-degree angle at their base, all bent northward.
The pines were originally planted here in the 1930s, but it took about 10 years before the trunks started to show their characteristic bent. Despite many theories, there's a standing heated debate on whether the curvature was created artificially by manipulating the trees — or whether it just happened naturally or accidentally.
Regardless of the cause, the eerie presence of the trees is hard to deny, especially as the rest of the forest is full of healthy, perfectly straight pine trees. It's a great place for a quiet hike in the silence of the forest.
#4 Wieliczka Salt Mine, Wieliczka
Wieliczka salt mine
The 13th-century Wieliczka salt mine is just as important for the locals today as it was hundreds of years ago, but for a very different reason. One of the world's oldest and longest-working salt mines, it stopped commercial operations in 1996 and has since become an artistic attraction.
The Wieliczka Salt Mine is now home to four chapels, corridors, and statues — all carved out of the rock salt walls. The mine's original shafts and passageways — some as deep as 327 meters underground — have been reopened and allow visitors to explore pits and chambers, walking past statues and alongside stunning architectural marvels. Deep into the mine, an underground lake shimmers against the candlelit walls.
The main tourist attraction inside the mine, however, is the Chapel of St. Kinga, a 12-meter-high chamber where everything — including the elaborate chandeliers and furniture — are made of salt. The tour continues on to the Erazm Baracz Chamber, where you'll find a lake that's saltier than the Dead Sea, and ends at a museum that explains salt mining and what life in the mines was like.
#5 Morskie Oko Lake, Tatra National Park
Mountains reflected in Morskie Oko Lake
Located deep within the Tatra National Park and surrounded by towering mountains and Swiss pines, the lake is a favorite destination for people of all ages. Reaching it requires an easy but long paved hike through shaded forests. The lake changes color throughout the year, transforming from a deep shade of blue to a softer turquoise hue.
The Tatras National Park extends through both Poland and Slovakia. In Poland, it's home to over 600 caves; snow-covered peaks; and a number of waterfalls, including the 70-meter-tall Wielka Siklawa.
Most of the park is hikeable, with over 270 kilometers of trails of all lengths and difficulties.
#6 Wawel Royal Castle, Kraków
Aerial view of Wawel Royal Castle
Wawel is an architecturally eclectic castle — the construction has medieval elements mixed with Baroque and Renaissance details. One of the first places to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Poland, the castle has always been an important part of the history of the country.
King Sigismund I the Old, who lived in the castle in the 16th century, was an avid collector of art — so it makes sense that the castle is now an important art museum, focused mainly on paintings and curatorial work.
Additional collections include weapons and armor, porcelain and ceramics, lots of textiles and prints, and a significant amount of period furniture. The museum also has an unusually large collection of Ottoman tents, the largest of its kind in Europe.

Automotive technology firm RDM is preparing for further growth after its Auto-txt product received official backing from the police.
RDM, based in Coventry, has been accredited with the Secured by Design award which ensures a response when any vehicle fitted with the device is stolen.
Auto-txt is the first of a new generation of Category 5 accredited tracking systems to receive the award, which supports the principles of 'designing out crime' by using effective crime prevention and security standards.
David Keene, managing director of RDM, said the award would be a massive boost for the company.
He said: "This is very good accreditation because it is run by the police themselves.
"This will definitely help sell more of our units. Love them or not, it is the police people go to when their car is stolen, and this device will help them locate it.
"It will also help sell cars when it is fitted because the security it brings can become a selling point."
The Auto-txt system requires the owner's mobile phone to be present as well as the ignition key to start a car.
Auto-txt immediately identifies a car as stolen if the car is started with the keys but the mobile phone is not there.
It is one of the first stolen vehicle protection and tracking systems to have been awarded Category 5 accreditation.
Key features of Category 5 include a way of identifying the driver in addition to possession of car keys and the means to disable a vehicle that has been stolen, remotely from a central control centre.
Also when the police are following a stolen car, Auto-txt allows them to track the vehicle and prevent it restarting using remote wireless technology once the vehicle ignition is turned off.
The Secured By Design accreditation follows the selection of Auto-txt by Jaguar Cars and Land Rover to supply car tracking and security systems for all their vehicles.
RDM Group has just raised funds of £4.75 million to further develop and roll out the system. The company, which employs 32 people, now plans to increase its headcount to 50.
Chris Cole, engineering director of RDM, said: "Being awarded Secured By Design shows how fundamental Auto-txt is in the fight against car crime.
"It is important that car owners are aware that not all stolen vehicle tracking systems are the same and not all are guaranteed a proactive police response."


Police in Cookstown are investigating a report of a damage only RTC when a tractor collided with a wall after swerving to avoid another vehicle.
Const. Ivan Caldwell said: "It was reported that tractor had to swerve to avoid an oncoming vehicle causing it to collide with a wall on the Turnaface Road, Moneymore, shortly before 8:15pm on February 23.
