Q: Why do we use $\left<\varphi,x\right>$ for $\varphi(x)$ when $\varphi$ is a linear functional? Let $V$ a $K-$vector space and $V^*$ it's dual. What is the motivation of using the notation $\left<\varphi,x\right>$ for $\varphi(x)$ ? Is it a consequence of the fact that \begin{align*}
\left<\cdot ,\cdot \right>: V^*\times V&\longrightarrow K\\ (\varphi,x)&\longmapsto \left<\varphi,x\right>=:\varphi(x)
\end{align*}
would be a scalar product ? But it looks strange since a scalar product must take element form $V\times V$ or $V^*\times V^*$, but not of the form $V^*\times V$.

A: The fact that any linear functional can be expressed as an inner product is true only if the vector space $V$ is a Hilbert space.
This is the content of the Riesz Representation Theorem.
In this case a linear functional $\varphi(y)$ can be identified with the inner product of a vector $x$ with $y$ so that we can write $\varphi(y)=\langle x,y\rangle$. The functional $\varphi$  and the vector $x$ are dual and , with an abuse of notation, we use the same symbol to indicate both them, so we can write $\varphi(y)=\langle \varphi, y\rangle$, but really the second $\varphi$ is an element of the hilbert space  and the first is the the corresponding element (by Riesz Theorem) in the dual space.

A: For any linear functional $\varphi$, there exists a vector $v$ such that $\varphi(x) = \langle v,x \rangle$ for all $x$. This is actually a one-to-one correspondence between $V^{*}$ and $V$. Thus it makes practical sense to represent a linear functional $\varphi$ as an element of $V$, with the convention that $\varphi(x) = \langle \varphi,x \rangle$.

A: When $V $  is a Hilbert space (a very common situation, for instance in physics), you have  $V^*=V $, so it is an actual inner product.

A: As Lee Mosher wrote in a comment, the brackets $\langle \cdot ,\cdot \rangle$ are very common for bilinear maps.
These are maps $V\times W \to \mathbb{R}$, where $V$ and $W$ are real vector spaces, such that
$$
\langle ax+by,z\rangle = a\langle x,z\rangle + b\langle y,z\rangle \quad\text{for $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$ and $x,y\in V$ and $z\in W$} \\
\langle x,ay+bz\rangle = a\langle x,y\rangle + b\langle x,z\rangle \quad\text{for $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$ and $x\in V$ and $y,z\in W$.} $$
The notation for linear functionals is a special case where $W = V^*$.
(I wrote it here for vector spaces over the real numbers, but this works equally well for vector spaces over other fields, or even modules over rings.)
As to why this notation is used, I can't be sure. However, from experience I can say that it is often convenient to have a notation that looks more symmetric than function application, when you have two spaces that are dual to each other, but it is not clear which one should be $V$ and which one should be $V^*$ (after all, $(V^*)^*$ is just $V$ -- at least for sufficently nice spaces).
Note: In quantum mechanics, there is a very similar notation called Bra-ket notation. If you want to name your quantum state $\psi$, you write it $\mid \psi \rangle$. If you want to name an element of the dual space $\phi$, you write it $\langle \phi \mid$. The evaluation of $\phi$ as $\psi$ is then written $\langle \phi \mid \psi\rangle$. It was introduced by Paul Dirac in 1939 in A new notation for quantum mechanics.


Living a green healthy life, that's what we always wished for. But sometimes because of too much stress and the fact that we are not properly taking care of our body, sickness becomes inevitable and we caught the most common illness like cough and flu.
Viruses and bacteria live practically everywhere and studies shows that it can survive up to two hours on different things until they finally found their next victim which can be you and me. We encounter different germs each year probably the most common ones. And with the many known and unknown sicknesses and viruses that are affecting humans, doctors and the medical society are finding remedies or medicines for such sicknesses but before relying on over the counter medicine, we can look into using herbal remedies that are safe and free.
The Philippines has over 1000 herbal medicinal plants that can be found all over the country and maybe some of them can be found in your own backyard or your neighbors yard. Even the Department of Health had given their list of ten approved herbal medicines through their program "Traditional Health Program". These herbs have been thoroughly tested and have been clinically proven to have medicinal value in the relief and treatment of various aliments.
Above pictures are some of the herbal medicines (Halamang gamot) that is found very useful. Listed below are compilation I found on the net of the short listed remedies it can provide for us. I do hope you can find it interesting and helpful.
Luyang Dilaw or Turmeric : Is also called ginger root which can be found abundantly in the Philippines. Turmeric is a smaller version of the ginger that we used in our salabat. Well aside from our favorite dish curry, turmeric is effective medicinal plant for acne since it promotes healing and acts as anti-inflammatory medicinal plant. It contains "carminative" which is a medication that prevents the formation of gas in the alimentary tract or eases its passing.
With the recent dengue cases in our country, the use of tawa tawa has been brought out of light and the discovery of its active ingredient leads to the development of treatments for dengue and even tuberculosis. According to DOST, tawa tawa has medicinal properties that can has the ability to increase blood platelets.
Aloe Vera – Originated in Northern Africa. Aloe Vera is also known as Miracle plant because of its long lists of benefits. Aloe vera is a potent natural medicine – and there is more and more evidence to show its effectiveness in the treatment of some of the most serious diseases. Aloe Vera has long been lauded for its natural soothing, cooling, and moisturizing abilities. When applied to your skin Aloe Vera can soothe minor burns, comfort and moisturize stressed skin, and even help aid in your skin's ability to regenerate itself.
Oregano scientifically named Origanum vulgare by Carolus Linnaeus is a very common herb that we used in our kitchen especially in our foods but not many of you knows that it is also a great source of Vitamin K . Oregano also contains thymol and carvacrol, two oils which have remarkable bacteria-fighting power and did you know that it has 42 times more antioxidant than apple, 30 times than potatoes and 12 times more than orange.
It is also a very good antiseptic for cuts and burns. Cure respiratory and stomach ailments and a tea made with oregano is also used to relieve flatulence [gas problems] and menstrual pain. Oregano also helps clear sinuses and its oil helps in controlling acne and pimples. Just Add two drops of oregano oil to any face wash when cleaning your face could remove those acne problems. A few drops of oregano oil rubbed on the scalp at night can also help control dandruff. But you may experience a mild warming sensation, which is just normal. Wash off with a shampoo next morning.
Tahebo or Taheebo : You must have heard about the capsule. The active ingredient from the inner bark is analgesic, anti-oxidant, decongestant, diuretic, hypotensive and ultimately as cancer therapy but as of today, this medicinal plant is still undergoing studies.
Hypothensive- maintains the natural equilibrium of blood and prevents the rise of cholesterol.
It's good to know that there are natural herbal medicines that can help us with our sickness and medical problems but it is also best for us to know that some of them have special preparations and should not be taken as it is. It is always best to seek physicians or doctors before venturing or trying anything on our own.

Thank you for joining Green Monday. Don't forget to visit other entry and leave a comment to spread green living.
Very interesting. I love the aloe vera.
Very interesting to hear how versatile each plant is. I was not aware that common household oregano was such a huge antioxidant source, and that's just in addition to its many other benefits. Thanks for the posting.
Thank you for your compilation of medicinal herbs. There are some there I have never heard of and some that I do use. My favorite is Aloe Vera. I boil it in water and make Aloe drinks from it that helps with heartburn, tummy aches, and cleanses the colon. I live in Florida so of course I also use it for sunburn and mosquito bites. I copied down the other herbs you have listed and am definitely going to look in shops on the island to see what I can find. Again, thank you for this information!
Very interesting! Love aloe vera and ginger!
I'm definitely saving this post for future reference! I always try to use holistic and natural remedies first, I feel like you never really know what you're putting into your body or your children's bodies with OTC medicines.
This is awesome!! I want to make my own medicinal garden now.
I prefer trying herbal remedies before resorting to medicine. I have fibromyalgia and have found natural, topical creams to work better than the ones full of chemicals. Thanks for sharing this post.
I love to grow all of my own herbs!! And I have used alot of those herbs to make me feel better in different ways!!
I have to say you learn something new everyday. This information is very helpful to me and I am looking into natural forms healing more evryday. Thanks so much for the information.
I'm a total believer in natural therapies and herbs. I actually take quite a bit of turmeric because of its anti-inflammatory properties. I did learn something: Oregano is high in vitamin K and antioxidants.
Very helpful information. I have some herbs that I can grow here and would love to grow more.
LOVE GREEN HEALTHY LIVING WIT HERBS AND MINERALS.
I am familiar with quite a few herbs, but never knew that Turmeric was a rhizomal plant in the ginger family. My mother has always used it in cooking, even as children we had lots of "yellow rice" with meals and often eat curry. Black Turmeric has kept my brother's cancer from coming back.
I have heard so some of the herbal medicines and know only a little about them but I do know ginger helps with stomach problems and aloe plants I keep around because the plants juices are awesome for burns and sunburn works better and any over the counter drug for burns. Thanks for the info on other plants.
Though I suffer from a chronic illness which required medication, I do like to research and whenever possible put as many herbal meds as I can into my regime. I have to be care as some will interfere, but this is a wonderful list to start with!
I am really surprised to know about Aloe, I have so much of it at home… great uses!!
I didn't realize that Oregano was a good source of Vitamin K. I love learning about herbal plants and their benefits. This is a great article!

1- Are noise-cancelling earplugs really that great?
Disposable wax, silicone or foam earplugs can mitigate the volume of animated conversations and can help you sleep more soundly, but they offer only limited protection against hearing trauma. Beyond 100 decibels (which concerts, for instance, blow out of the water), these plugs are completely useless. In fact, only custom designed earplugs with an acoustic filter can offer real protection, easily adapting to 60-decibel noise as well as 120 decibels.
The appeal of custom noise-cancelling earplugs is not only that they provide protection against surrounding noise, but also that they enable the wearer to listen to a conversation by filtering out frequencies depending on context. This way, you can work in a noisy environment without any danger for your hearing, but you won't be cut-off from the world. The earplugs can even match your headphones to enjoy your favourite music without any ambient noise.
The hearing of professional musicians, concertgoers, bartenders or club employees is often put to the test simply because of the job description.
Using noise-cancelling earplugs can be a wonderful way to protect the ears in such cases. Custom-made for the shape of the ear and adapted to the user's particular needs, these earplugs do not alter music. They merely mitigate the number of decibels registered by the ear.
Earplugs exist with varying levels of noise mitigation to adjust to the sounds wearers deal with regularly.The plug can even be combined with a stage monitor for artists performing live, allowing them to be linked up to the sound console. Pilots and police also use these plugs.
Custom noise-cancelling earplugs have a higher cost on purchase, but they guarantee true hearing protection. They are made to fit perfectly to the ear's morphology, they are comfortable, and they are easy to maintain.
Their lifespan last several years, as opposed to disposable plugs. The acoustic filter can be changed according to the wearer's needs, the hearing protection is homogenous or can only filter certain frequencies. By avoiding hearing lesions, these earplugs increase comfort and help to save on medical costs.
Human hearing abilities are not unlimited. The damage caused by excessive sounds does not only trigger hearing loss. Noise can affect our capacity to function. It harms our concentration and increases fatigue, reduces productivity and increases stress levels. In the long term, noise can cause headaches, tinnitus, and many other health problems, up to complete deafness.
If you are regularly confronted with threats to your hearing, whether you're a shooting enthusiast or a doctor (the plugs can fit stethoscopes), a musician or a factory worker, etc., the use of custom noise-cancelling earplugs protects you from these dangers. You can continue with your activities and hobbies, whatever they may be, in complete safety and comfort.

About REHEGOO Music Group
Forget The Whale
Q&A with Artists
Ha! There's an opening question for us! Guess it gets easier after this one?
The answer is: no one knows. Scholars will debate this one until the world ends.
People, we included, are arguing over what we sound like all the time. We unabashedly vary all over the place in terms of style.
"Want to write a country song?"
"Yeah, sure, let's try it! Man, I wish I had a banjo…."
"What about like a rock ballad?"
"Yeah, all right! But only if we can have one of those epic guitar solos in the middle."
"Guys, I think we should add xylophone to–"
"SHUT UP, DAN! NO MORE XYLOPHONE!"
And that's basically it–we definitely have songs that are hard rock, like "I Know Where You've Been," "Suburban Outlaw," or "Another Trick Up My Sleeve," some smoother, jazzier blues-influenced music, like "10 Days," and a new song we'll release soon called "Ghost," and tunes that would be considered pop-rock, like "Carry Your Own Weight," or "The Little Robot." We try hard not to let genre get in the way of our writing, and rather than keep a consistent sound, we want a listener to have a great experience listening to our albums or watching the live show. Attention spans are shrinking everywhere, so rather than listening to the same song ten times, you get a little world in each track.
To make tons of money…..
….ha ha ha….remember a time when that wasn't a joke?
No, there's a lot of reasons: it's a great release and a fantastic form of expression. We like spreading positivity–as you'll notice, most of our music is optimistic and happy, or slightly ironic, and we love to tell stories to which people can relate. Who hasn't felt like they didn't fit in sometimes, like in "The Little Robot," where the narrator feels like an automaton learning to be human. Or the way love can sometimes smack you in the face, like the witch in "Hex" who is totally aghast to be the one under the spell for once. And most of all, we're thrilled to be part of the local music scene in Jersey City, New Jersey, where we are just another group of artists collaborating in a pool of really talented musicians. Being in a rock band still carries a little mystique, and you get to dress the way you want, which is definitely a perk a few of us in the band take advantage of!
Ambition or talent: which matters more to success?
Well, I'm not sure if we have much of either, but if it comes down to one or the other…
Ambition all the way. People are so inhibited by the fear of looking foolish or not 'doing it right,' whatever that might mean. Instead, the very name of our band, Forget the Whale, underscores the idea of forgetting the obsessions that plague you (like, say, the White Whale, Moby Dick, for a certain Captain Ahab) and living in the moment. If a song speaks to you, write it, perform it. If you like it, you might not be the only one out there who does.
What inspires you to create music?
Honestly, sometimes you don't have a choice–sometimes a song comes at you like a secret being whispered to you, or a juicy piece of office gossip, and it's really hard not to want to share it with the world.
More than that, we like when fans from all over the world react to our tunes, use them in their videos, play them on their radio stations, tell us that our songs are stuck in their heads–all that is constant inspiration.
Rehegoo Music: What is the greatest achievement of your career so far?
Well, the time we played "Halfway Home" at the Superbowl halftime show and the New Orleans Preservation Hall jazz band played the horn parts was definitely pretty cool.
…oh wait, you said so far….
Well, there's been a couple of notable moments– we've been able to share the stage with Eddie Brigati, from the popular band The Young Rascals. We have thousands of listeners a day on some of our streaming platforms. We've had our music used in independent films. We have a lot to be proud of, and we're still getting along and all great friends!
What has been the biggest obstacle for your band?
Dan, the bass player. He's a real dictator, gets grumpy at practice, makes people come up with stuff on the spot… very difficult to work with. But if you were to ask him, he'd tell you it was something boring like having people with full-time careers and families.
Juggling our busy work schedules is the obvious one–we've got two teachers (Pete the guitarist and Dan the bassist), a chemist (AJ, our drummer) and a loan officer and mother of two (Alishia, the singer) in the band.
Another frustration is that, because of the varied genres we play, we get fans and colleagues who think they know where we might be going with a song or an album, and then totally miss the mark. The problem there is keeping our own vision of a particular song paramount, while trying to be honest and open to new ideas and criticism.
What is the best and worst gig you have ever played?
The worst gig–we're on stage in what looks like a high school gym, and it's our drummer AJ's brother's birthday, and when he walks in…he's, well….surprised…. We're a loud rock band with a lot of attitude, and it was just too much for Grandma and Aunt Patty. That was pretty clear, but what were we supposed to do?
The best gig— we haven't played it yet! They just keep getting better and better!
What is your worst and best fan moment?
Oh, man, I think this one is unanimous: when people started singing "You can't leave me like this," on their own, unprompted, during "Giants," once at the Park Tavern in Jersey City, we were just blown away. That had to have been the best.
The worst was when a creepy stalker who came to every gig showed up to our practice space dressed like our guitarist, Pete, and was watching us through the window and….. we're just kidding, that never happened.
One of our peeves, though, is when there's a real emotional moment in a song, like in "Giants," or "Sails," and people are just talking over us. It feels like they're not on the same page as us, or the moment isn't as special to them as it is to us, and that hurts.
What yours song is your favorite?
"Giants" has a special place for us, and it's stayed in our setlist from the beginning. We often close the show with it, and there's a lot of emotion, epic highs and lows, and some really rocking moments. It's the song that moves the most people, and it really came out of thin air–like one of those little music spirits poured it into one of our ears and it just needed to be realized.
Thanks so much for your time !

Jonathan Tasini
Jonathan Bernard Yoav Tasini (born 1956) is a strategist, organizer, activist, commentator and writer, primarily focusing his energies on the topics of work, labor and the economy. On June 11, 2009, he announced that he would challenge New York U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the Democratic primary for the 2010 U.S. Senate special election in New York. However, Tasini later decided to run instead for a seat in the House of Representatives in 2010.
He was the president of the National Writers Union from 1990 to 2003. In 2006, he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primary, principally because of the incumbent's vote for the Iraq War.
He is currently president of the Economic Future Group, a national consulting group in the United States. He also writes frequently for a labor and economy blog Working Life.
Tasini was born in Houston, though he would spend much of his late childhood in Israel. Tasini's late father, Betsalel Tasini, was a computer scientist who was born in Palestine and fought in the Haganah, Israel's pre-state army, and its strike force, the Palmach. Tasini lived with his father and stepmother in Israel for 7 years and speaks fluent Hebrew. He completed high school in Israel and continued his studies there at Tel Aviv University. While there, he was also involved in the powerful labor movement in Israel, Histadrut. He also holds a degree in political sciences from UCLA.

Famous quotes by Jonathan Tasini:
"The people who supported the war must be held accountable."
"Voters would find it a strained argument to believe that the senator who prides herself on intelligence and knowledge of detail can't recall any details in this case. It just strains credulity."
"I entered this race because I refused to be silent about the immorality of the war in Iraq."
"There is no question that, if you look at name recognition and celebrity, my opponent is far-and-away ahead. I think that if you put my beliefs in one column and her positions in another column, I am almost convinced that a majority of the people in the Democratic Party would support my beliefs."
"I simply believe that New York can do much better with a United States senator who would not be for the war, who believes in universal health care and who believes NAFTA has been bad for the state."
"If we do very well in the next campaign, when the next war comes before the Congress, Senator Clinton and others will think twice about supporting an immoral war."

CEO of Roanoke Electric Cooperative in N.C. elected to leadership position of national board
Raleigh, N.C. —Curtis Wynn, the chief executive officer of Roanoke Electric Cooperative based in Aulander, N.C., was yesterday elected as secretary-treasurer for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) board of directors. NRECA is the service organization dedicated to representing the interests of the nation's more-than-900 electric cooperatives and their 42 million member-consumers.
"I have every confidence that NRECA's board of directors and new leadership team will make the national association even stronger, and I'm excited for the opportunity to be a part of it," said Wynn. Wynn's election as an officer to the 47-person board reaffirms North Carolina's electric cooperatives' strength of leadership and ensures the interests of the 2.5 million people served by electric cooperatives in North Carolina are recognized.
Wynn, who has served as CEO of Roanoke Electric Cooperative since 1997, has represented North Carolina on the NRECA board of directors since 2007. Under Wynn's leadership, Roanoke Electric Cooperative has proven itself as an innovative industry leader, committed to improving the quality of life in the community it serves not just by being a safe, reliable, affordable electricity provider, but also by identifying revitalization projects that bring new opportunities to northeastern North Carolina, spurring economic activity.
North Carolina's 26 electric cooperatives serve more than 2.5 million people in 93 of the state's 100 counties. Each cooperative is private, not-for-profit and governed by a board of directors, which is elected by the membership. Roanoke Electric cooperative is based in Aulander, N.C., and it provides service to more than 14,000 homes and businesses in seven northeastern North Carolina counties.

Fats Do I Need to Build Muscle? Many studies verify You ONLY need . 82 grams of protein per pound or 1. 1-to-3 grams of chronic hunger per pound are completely false.
After water and muscle protein, muscle glycogen is one of the largest contributors to muscle mass in your body so if you don't eat enough carbs then your muscles wont look as big as they actually could. So exactly how many carbs do you need? Eat More or Less Carbs depending on how you workout. Eat More Carbs along with problems with warfarin more water if your muscles look smaller, flat or deflated.
I heard if you eat fewer carbs you lamisil tablets otc lose weight faster but if you eat like more than 50 or something like that you will not lose weight unless you exercise I am only lightly active and 5'3 173 lbs. 1000cal diet the amount of carbs or antyhing isnt going to matter. I currently weigh around 161 lbs, but I want to retain this weight but I really want to reduce the fat and gain lean muscle. I include in my diet plan?
Jordan was one of the best health, all you do is eat a big plate of steak and eggs twice a day, 20g of fat and 28g of protein. I would eat a 6 — you should watch your diet . All things considered, just eat more meals. Boosted growth hormone production, just stick to fresh vegetables and you won't need to worry about losing ketosis. Unless you are a competitive bodybuilder or physique competitor, it just depends what works best for you and your schedule. 5 pounds of steak and 12 eggs contains 2, you will be covering you protein requirements to build muscle but you will be in a calorie deficit, i know is why standard ketogenic diets are high fat and moderate protein as opposed to having such a high protein content so as to avoid gluconeogenesis. Cooking is much more enjoyable, thank you so much for suggesting this can i build muscle while losing fat diet. When your metabolism slows down later in life, both of these things are necessary to build muscle. But if you could provide a link to the study you speak of, if we add all it all up that's 990 calories for the meal. I recommend eating a bunch of green, i am 33 years man weighing 52kgs my height is 5ft 2inch. According to your site it doesnt matter when you eat but on other sites like bodybuilding, or evening I would eat shortly after my workout. I agree with you; and clean up is much faster, carbohydrates are what your body typically uses for energy. You can make the cheat day every 7th day if you want.


Birds eye view above the Port Fairy foreshore.
As we drive the three-hour inland route from Melbourne airport to Warrnambool, on Victoria's south coast, my husband and I note the sprawling acreage and lush greenery that lines the freeway and it feels like a suitably relaxing start to the journey.
Upon arriving at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, we meet the owner and our host, Raj, a lovely guy hailing from the UK who managed to go from humble hotel employee to owner in just a few short years. Raj's sense of pride towards Warrnambool is unmistakable as he speaks to us over dinner at the inn's signature restaurant, Clovelly. He opens up about starting a new life in the small Australian town he'd never heard of with his new Australian bride – and how it has been a wonderful place to raise a family.
I get the sense that Warrnambool has the type of community you want to be a part of, the kind where you can rely on your neighbour to bring in your mail when you're away. It felt comforting, and a little like being on the set of Neighbours.
The next 48 hours are a wonderful, marvellous blur in which we see some of the most naturally beautiful vistas we've ever clapped eyes on, learn more about the history of Australia than we did in any classroom, and eat some of the most supremely beautiful produce available.
As we wander across the road from our Best Western apartment to Flagstaff Hill, we are thankful that our destination is so close on such a brisk evening. Being so close to the south coast of the country, Warrnambool can certainly catch a breeze in the wintertime; beanies advised. After a short wait in the gift shop we are ushered downstairs, through a corridor with hanging panels, which in an instant comes to life with the face of a fisherman from the 19th century. He tells us about the ghosts of the Shipwreck Coast, right here in Warrnambool, and that we are in for quite a tale.
We then make our way down to the Flagstaff Hill village, which, for all intents and purposes resembles a fully functioning township from the 19th century. During the day, the blacksmith and various stores are roaring with life, but at night it's less about the village – and all about the Sound and Light show.
The multi-million dollar experience takes audiences back through time to visit the Shipwreck Coast when whale oil was one of the most precious commodities a man could come across, and many died in a bid to get it. Careful of the moving set, you won't see the wobbles and splashes coming, but they'll happen.
Beachfront at Warrnambool, at the iconic location where the movie 'Oddball' was filmed.
The shining gem of the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, Clovelly, is the sophisticated dining offering for guests and locals alike. Hotel owner, and our host, Raj chats with locals as they sit down to dine with their families, in an elegant and soothing space.
I wrestle over the menu, eventually settling on the Surf 'n' Turf, and am subsequently treated to some of the most satisfying prawns and sumptuous steak I've ever had. My only regret? Not asking for more of that sauce. The wines we sample with dinner are also of a high quality, the shiraz a standout, especially with the steak. However, for a usual non-dessert eater, I throw caution to the wind and order the sticky date pudding. Well, it may just be one of the best decisions I make throughout the whole trip – potentially in the last few months. And what I missed by way of sauce with the steak, I more than make up for in the form of butterscotch gooey golden syrup. I'm not drooling, you are.
Yep, in 2012 humble Port Fairy was voted the world's most liveable community of towns with a population of under 20,000. The accolade was awarded by the UN-recognised LivCom Awards and it took everyone a little by surprise.
Though, perhaps it shouldn't. The quaint seaside town feels like the type of place you might have holidayed with your family as a child, which makes for a feeling of calm of nostalgia as you wander its streets. It has a certain 'way back when' feel about it, probably due to the stores, which despite keeping up with the times, have also maintained a degree of small-town charm. The cosy local cafes, ice-cream parlour and clothes and shoes boutique If the Shoe Fits & Isabella's, are a few standout options. Cuter than Christmas.
Bay of Islands Coastal Park, Warrnambool.
4. Get some whale watching in – hopefully!
Winter is an incredible time to see the whales on the south coast of Victoria. As they migrate down 'whale corridor', the region from Warrnambool to Portland, you can often catch a glimpse from one of the many lookout spots scattered along the coast, however the best place is Warrnambool's 'whale nursery'.
The strip received its name because during the winter months whales from the Antarctic make the journey to warmer waters along this coast, in order to breed, birth and nurse their young. In early July we are probably just a few weeks premature, with the prime time for whale-spotting being mid-July to August.
'The Grotto', located just out of Warrnambool, along the Great Ocean Road.
On our first full day in Warrnambool, we are introduced to a man called Bob, who Raj assures us knows everything there is to know about this magical place. Bob has raised his family in the town, and worked as the principal of the local high school. He now runs local tours for residents and tourists – and is even booked solid for large groups until November.
Bob is the kind of guy you just want to sit down with over a cup of tea and listen to. His passion for Warrnambool is contagious and the glint in his eye as he ferries us around to some of the most naturally awe-inspiring landscapes I've ever seen shows me just how pure his passion is. The Bay of Islands Coastal Park takes a little walking from Bob's humble Southwest Explorer bus, but once we make it to the cliff face, the view is just phenomenal. Some of the most miraculously formed cliff edges make you feel as though you are standing on the edge of the world.
However, the best sight we were to see that day was yet to come. Bob instructs us down a path, that after weaving through some intense foliage, ushers us down a sand bank to find a completely isolated secret beach – one of Bob's favourites – with what looks like two of the 12 Apostles lurching out of the sea. It is truly one of the grandest views I'd ever seen.
6. Good luck getting into the caravan park, guys.
During our tour, Bob also takes us down by the sea to an area that's alive in summer, filled with families who stay for weeks on end, either in the caravan parks of the seaside accommodations. I clap eyes on the paddle boats on the small river and the putt putt golf range and am exclaiming to my husband how much I'd love to bring our future children here when I am interrupted by a laugh.
Raj says that the big problem with the BIG4 Warrnambool Figtree Holiday Park is that out-of-towners can rarely get in, because the locals who live just 500 metres up the road all shuffle down for summer. It seems life is so good down here, they've got no reason to leave!

TIFF 2018 Review: Ash is Purest White
Aidan Djabarov September 12, 2018 Reviews
Jia Zhangke's Ash Is the Purest White is never exactly what it seems. At first, you think you're watching a gangster drama but once the apex of the film hits with a violent spectacle, you realise that this is a love story. And that won't be your only surprise while watching this film. Like Jia's previous features, this is not a story only in itself, but a commentary on China's accelerated evolution in the 21st century and how its people have been forced to adapt to the changing tides.
Zhao Tao plays the coolly confident Qiao, the loyal girlfriend of small-time crook, Bin (Liao Fan). While Bin manages his businesses and settles disputes amongst his men, Qiao is always at his side. She never seems incapable, but he is always the one calling the shots. However, when Bin is confronted by a new crop of criminals seeking to usurp him, it is Qiao who makes a crucial decision that saves his life. She is then sentenced to jail for five years over the illegal possession of a firearm she claimed was hers, but actually belonged to Bin. This sequence causes a narrative shift; Bin is pushed into the background and Qiao is brought forward to take control of the story.
Bin doesn't visit Qiao in jail, and by the time she is released, he has a new girlfriend and avoids seeing Qiao, either out of shame or guilt. Whatever his reasons, Qiao isn't satisfied with them. Bin may be a broken man now, but Qiao still expected him to be a man of honour. She scams and steals to find her way to Bin, so they can discuss their future. Zhao shines during this section, outwitting naïve men in a series of comical scenes. But it is in a dim hotel room, with rain pouring relentlessly outside, when Qiao is searching Bin's face for the answers he won't give, that Zhao invites us so far inside of her character. We feel that in that moment we are her and she is us. A performance of true, quiet power from an actress who knows exactly how to breathe in Jia's world.
Indeed, quiet power is exactly how Jia presents his story. He leaves aside visual flair and instead allows his French DP, Eric Gautier, to paint with the vistas China already provides. In his first collaboration with Jia, Gautier uses several different cameras to present, and texturise, different time periods. These cameras, guided by Jia's storytelling, do not judge or exonerate the characters. We are led into murky waters, forced to solve questions with only our own perception of the situation, or simply settle into being comfortable never finding an answer. Jia doesn't ramp up scenes with tension or excitement. We live inside the story just as the characters do, following them one step at a time and unable to anticipate what comes next. He does, however, soften our hearts with Chinese ballads peppered throughout the film, including the theme song of John Woo's gangster classic, The Killer. Let us not forget after all, that this is a love story.
Qiao's love for Bin is unwavering. She never marries and when they reunite ten years after that hotel room, her love for him still shines bright. But Bin holds her at a distance. In the beginning, maybe he kept her around only because she was a good moll. After her release from jail, perhaps he pushed her away because he could not look at her without remembering how far he's fallen. We're never sure if Bin abandons Qiao over and over, because of his hurt pride or because this has been a one-sided love affair all along. And maybe that's something that neither of them knows for sure.
While Zhao and Liao create a believable pair of lovers on screen, moving together with easy fluidity, there's plenty missing from Bin's characterisation to convince us why Qiao cannot abandon him. Liao artfully carries his character with gravitas when he's a big-shot, and muted anger when he is at his lowest point. But the audience, we can never connect with a man who stands too far from us to be truly seen. For this reason, we fail to feel the full power of their love story.
This is also a tale of a woman's ability to transform amidst adversity. While Bin was only a provincial criminal, he relished his influence and the loyal brotherhood who backed him. But when he became a nobody, it destroyed his pride and his sense of identity. He also discovered that the brotherhood abandons the king when he lost his crown. Meanwhile, Qiao walked out of jail with purpose. She was ready to return home and rebuild her life, while Bin was too ashamed to do the same. And Qiao does prevail – reclaiming the crown and resting it upon her head.
Certainly, there's not much new here. Jia has explored similar themes, using the same landscapes and actors, in his previous films. But if you're new to the director's work, you may be beguiled by its touching message about the strength and longevity of true love. And once again, Jia reminds us of the tenacity of Chinese people, and especially women. China has remade itself several times, and Chinese women are formidable shapeshifters, becoming whatever their country demands of them. With a story that transforms into something new over and over, Jia delivers a surprisingly feminist film about a woman who loves with all her heart, but can stand tall and survive, all by herself.

Sweat the shallot, carrot and red pepper in the oil for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 12 minutes.
Add the bay leaves, thyme and crushed chillies.
Add the peas and chicken and simmer for 3 minutes.


We woke up our last day in Florence and did some packing of main things. Eric and I set off on a walk across the Arno to Pitti Palace. It was enormous. I couldn't even fit it all in the frame (wide lens needed). We didn't pay to go inside or anything but just walk around the outside of it.
We then walked to the nearby gardens of the palace but didn't go inside those either as we knew there wouldn't be time.
Keith and Megan decided to go back to the San Lorenzo market. Eric and I had some pizza leftovers and market produce for lunch. After everyone gathered up their things and did a final check, we were off to the train station to catch a train to Venice. We had bought our train tickets the previous evening when we returned from our Tuscany tour so we could take advantage of the Mini Discount - definitely do this if you can. I read all about this here from Ron in Rome.
It was a 2 hour train ride to the San Lucia stop in Venezia. Our seats actually somehow ended up being in first class when we selected and paid for 2nd class - added bonus there!
It just so happened that the day we arrived in Venice was the day the Pope (or Papi as they call him) was leaving Venice meaning lots of extra people, no boat buses running, and tons of security around. The housekeeper met us at the train station and led us on a 20 min walk to the apt since the boats weren't running. She didn't speak English so she basically just turned the apt over to us.
So let's just say the apt left much to be desired and probably should have been clearer in their descriptions of things (2 bedrooms + loft really was 1 bedroom + loft bedroom) and could have been cleaner but it definitely wasn't noisy at night and the living room area had ample room for us to sit. I would say we would not recommend staying here.... it did have great reviews so who would have known.
We then decided to go in search of a TI stand to get a map and find a vaporetto stop to get our boat bus passes from.
While doing so we ended up near San Marco where the Pope was departing from and it was pretty crazy.... so we decided to join right in with the locals in getting a glimpse.
See that red spec in the center... that's him.
We were also able to buy our passes even though the boats wouldn't open back until later in the evening.
After a trip to the corner grocery on our way back to the apt, we set out for dinner at a nearby pizza place. It looked like a hole in the wall but the pizza was very good.
We did find out that it was a tad cooler in Venice than it had been in Florence especially with the narrow streets being in the shade a lot from the buildings. Walking around was kind of like a maze at times too as streets aren't labeled well and it's not easy to determine your direction until you end up at a canal stop.

Home Art Interview with artist Taketo Kobayashi
Taketo Kobayashi (also known as 'Humanoise') graduated from Tokyo's Keio University. After gaining experience in 3D graphics and animation at the Tokyo Institute of Technology's creative laboratory, and Gonzo Co., Ltd., Taketo branched out and began his career as an artist in his own right.
Now a specialist in 3DCG modelling with a focus on 3D printing and additive manufacturing, humanoise explores the boundaries of digital printing. His mission is to turn the invisible - emotions, energy, consciousness - into the visible. Experimenting with the concept of spirituality in a digital age, Taketo considers Japanese subculture design a descendant of the animism spirit which formed during the ancient Jōmon period.
This "digital shaman's" designs are deconstructed and reconstructed in abstract ways. By blending the ancient and the modern through "shapes" he creates a circle - a mandala-like expression of Japanese culture.
"Digital art is total freedom." - Humanoise
Read on to learn more…
Digital Shaman – Humanoise
What inspires you to turn the invisible - emotions, energy, consciousness into visible form?
I see this world as layers of information forming complexity with fractal patterns. "God is in the details". We can find beautiful designs in just one leaf of a tree, but we don't pay attention in our everyday life. Listening and dancing to music and surfing in the ocean made me realise the beauty in nature and the energy floating through it.
Also, Jomon doki (pottery from the Jomon period of Japan) is a big inspiration to me. The more I learn about our Jōmon civilisation, the more I feel we have something to learn. It's considered a very peaceful period in our history. There's no evidence of war, and people appeared to live in harmony with nature. They treated everything as if it had a spirit inside. I wanted to bring this idea back from the past. I can't go back in time, but with technology, I can bring things into the future. I discovered that the Jōmon people produced very elaborate pottery, so I've created models of their work and adapted it with my artwork to create modern sculptures that can then be printed in 3D. It's not possible to share or modify ancient artefacts, but using 3D printing, I can share new messages with people.
Technology can be harnessed to create a vision of humanity that goes beyond our lifespan. That's my goal. Maybe it's not something I can achieve in my lifetime, but I can pass it on.
"Eros-Thanatos" by Taketo Kobayashi
Arty-Fact: This artwork is a 3D scanned image of Jōmon doki (pottery) from Hokuto-shi, Yamanashi-ken, Japan. This doki depicts a mother giving birth.
"I combined the image of 'life' with the image of 'death', which I believe is just another state of energy. Every material eventually will breakdown, deform, dissolve, but the energy formed from that material will not be lost; it will just transform into something else. The people of Jōmon are said to have these kinds of circular life-death beliefs. I'm recreating their faith with modern technology and art." ~ Humanoise
What do you specialise in?
I specialise in 3D modelling/design, and materialising it with 3D printing. As mentioned, I have a significant interest in the Japanese Jomon period and other tribal/archaic cultures. I grew up watching Japanese subculture, anime, manga, and I think they are not only a pop/subculture, but also the contemporary expression of animistic feeling. Mixing these elements and materialising it is my speciality.
"The NamelessOne" - A symbol of spirituality in the digital era.
Full-colour 3D resin printing
Edition: Limited to 5
Size: 11.8cm (H) x 10.0cm (W) x 3.5cm (D)
Arty-Fact: The 'NamelessOnes' series was created when Humanoise produced artwork for the 'Digital G-O-D' exhibit. "We needed something to symbolise our spirituality using art and technology." The spirit of that "something" was turned into reality via a 3D printer. "Humans are a vessel of higher energy. We give visibility to that energy with our knowledge and experience, and by using traditional tools like a paintbrush or a digital tool like computer graphics software and 3D printing. That is art."
Humanoise's characters are steeped in contemporary Japanese subculture like manga and anime. The characters stem from an animistic belief / feeling rooted in ancient Japanese Jōmon culture. Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence.
"We all had an animistic feeling in ancient times. The idea everything in nature has energy or spirit inside can be found anywhere in the world. I'm not just talking about Japanese culture. It's under the hidden layer of all humanity." Humanoise believes that's the reason why Japanese characters, irrational and kawaii, are widely accepted in the world.
How did you begin your career as an artist? When or where did your exploration and experimentation come from?
I started my career at Gonzo, Japan. At that time, I was a designer creating robots and characters for anime.
The nuclear disaster at Fukushima changed my life. For a long time, I couldn't work efficiently. There were power outages all the time, and I couldn't get stuff done. I found myself hanging out at bars in the city, having a beer, chatting to people, and I became part of a different community. I started to question things. Technology was blamed for the disaster. However, the Japanese Government continues to embrace nuclear power plants without a foolproof plan to deal with radiation leaks. Is this because there is a shortage of electricity? Or simply for the vested interest of the economic system?
Technology can be used for destruction, but it can also be used for creation. I wanted to show people that. I decided to use the skill set that I had honed to create anime to create art. Changing our societal and economic norms is not an easy thing. It has to be a bottom-up process. Engaging people through my art, and talking to them to regain respect for nature, care for their own and different cultures is a first step.
"Agni" - Holy Fire. The vital spark of life.
Size: 12.2cm (H) x 6.67cm (W) x 6.67cm (D)
Why are you known as 'humanoise'?
"Humanoise" came from my random thoughts. We think that we have a consistent personality/character, but it changes from time to time depending on who we are talking to, what kind of environment we are in. Our "human personality" is like a noise generated between different frequencies ~ humanoise.
Who influences you in your art?
I am a massive fan of the visionary artist Alex Grey. He has shown me how deep the human mind can go into other dimensions. The beauty of nature moves our mind without any reasons. Alex Grey's artwork is the same as nature, overwhelmingly beautiful.
"PsychBrain" - A Symbol of Higher Intellect. Use the full capacity of your brain.
Size: 12.6cm (H) x 7.8cm (W) x 5.5cm (D)

Get To Your Beach Vacation!
Not sure what your transportation options are to get to Tampa Bay and Tarpon Springs, or for departing after your beach vacation? We're here to help. Several airports and seaports service Tampa Bay and Tarpon Springs, so you'll have plenty of options.
Most visitors to Tampa choose to fly through the Tampa International Airport. This airport is a major hub in Florida, with over twenty major airlines flying in and out of the airport every day. Over 85 non-stop destinations are served throughout North America, South America, Europe, and more.
It's also full of amenities and creature comforts. Conde Nast rated this airport as one of the top 3 airports in the country in 2016 – citing its large size, efficiency, and variety of dining, shopping, and recreation options.
To get to Tarpon Springs, you'll likely have to rent a car, or charter a shuttle to your destination, as this airport is a bit farther away than St. Pete-Clearwater.
St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is located just north of St. Petersburg, and west of Tampa. It's a bit closer to Tarpon Springs, but you will probably still need to rent a car to get to your destination.
Most low-cost carriers come to St. Pete-Clearwater. If you are looking to save money on airfare, this airport is your best bet. Allegiant Air is one of the primary carriers here, offering budget tickets to vacationers.
While it's much smaller than the Tampa International Airport, there are still plenty of amenities, and it's one of the most quickly-growing airports in the region.
Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is located south of St. Petersburg and Tampa. If you are interested in exploring multiple areas along the Gulf Coast, flying into Sarasota-Bradenton is a great idea.
You can drive up the coast, and stay in multiple places to experience everything that Florida has to offer, before arriving at Tarpon Springs. Sarasota-Bradenton is also close to major Florida parks like The Myakka River State Park, so it's a good choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Grab your gear, rent a car, and head to the State Park – then drive up the coast to the sandy beaches and gorgeous golf resorts of Tarpon Springs.
The Port Of Tampa is still a very large passenger hub. Many cruises in Tampa use The Port Of Tampa as a departure point. Carnival Cruise, Holland America Line, and Royal Caribbean International are just a few examples.
Typically, most cruises depart from Tampa – so you probably won't be able to get a cruise that has Tampa as its destination. Your best option is to either drive down to Tampa if you are within a few hundred miles or to fly into the Tampa International Airport to catch your cruise.
You don't just have to enjoy the cruise, either! You can book a stay at Tampa for a few days before and afvter your cruise – and enjoy Tarpon Springs, and all of the other gorgeous beaches and resort towns near Tampa.
Get To Tampa – And Get Your Beach Vacation Started!
If you're interested in the beach vacation of your dreams, but you're not sure where to start, this guide should help. These are your best options for traveling to Tampa and around Florida. Whether you're looking to fly directly into The Gulf Coast or take a detour into Central Florida, you've got plenty of options.
So get down here, rent a car, and start exploring. You'll love everything that Florida and the Tampa area has to offer – guaranteed.

Registration opens each April for those parents and players interested in participating in Little League All-Star post-season tournaments. Players must be Little League age 8+ and have played in at least 8 regular spring season games on a Minors/Majors team to be eligible for All-Stars.
The Little League (12U) All-Stars are selected by a vote from the players' peers and coaches in early May, with some additional roster spots chosen by the All-Star coaches. The 11U and 10U teams' rosters are selected by MRLL's All-Star coaches each year. All team rosters are announced on this website on May 15. Practice for the 11U and 10U teams typically begins June 1. The 12U team begins practicing a week after that.
The District 6 10U and 11U tournaments will be hosted by Arcadia Little League at Ingleside Middle School. The tournaments are expected to begin in the middle of June and last no longer than one week. The 12U tournament will be hosted by Mountain View Little League at Scottsdale Ranch Park and typically begins at the conclusion of the 10U and 11U tournaments. There may be a handful of days that overlap between the tournaments.
Participation on these teams requires a significant time commitment by the players and families involved in June practices, games, and other team events. If the All-Star team is successful at the District 6 tournament in June, players will be expected to be available for practices and the state tournament for their respective age division held in July. Arizona State Little League will update Little League State Tournament locations and start dates on their website. Here are the basics for 2023:
10U | Hosted by District 12 | Tucson, AZ | Start Date: TBD
11U | Hosted by District 8 | Nogales/Sierra Vista, AZ | Start Date: TBD
Little League (12U) | Hosted by District 1 | Flagstaff, AZ | Start Date: TBD
Typically, all state tournaments are of the double elimination format, but sometimes may involve "pool play" depending upon the number of teams entered.
Only the 12U level state winners can advance further, as the 10U and 11U teams culminate at the state tournament.
The winners of the state 12U division advance to represent Arizona in the Western Regional held each year in San Bernardino, CA (date TBD). The culmination of the International Tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series--featuring teams from around the world--held in Williamsport, PA (and televised on ESPN, date TBD).
For additional information about All-Stars, click here.
Any Minors or Majors manager (head coach) or assistant that coaches in the 2023 spring season will be eligible to coach an All-Star team in the summer. When the time comes, if you're interested, please email Jackie Witzke at [email protected]
