Whether killing time or scrambling to find last-minute souvenirs, most of us are at one time or another saved by airport shopping. Yes, every airport comes with the standard magazine stands and tacky gift shops, but our top 10 airports for shopping take their retail seriously. We're talking endless duty-free arcades, luxury boutiques galore, and, maybe most notably, small local retailers that supply homegrown items unique to the destination itself. And isn't that what souvenir shopping is all about? These gateway hubs span the globe, from Portland to Dubai, and offer the traveler more than just a distraction before boarding – they provide a viable (not TSA-related) reason to arrive the recommended three hours before (international) departure time. Get a sneak peek at the goods with our Airports for Shopping slideshow.

Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg chalked up his seventh win in a row at the Russian Grand Prix on Sunday with team mate Lewis Hamilton fighting back from 10th on the grid to seal a Mercedes one-two finish.
In a race that started with chaos, and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel being shunted into the wall by Red Bull's Russian Daniil Kvyat, Rosberg had an untroubled afternoon from pole to chequered flag for his 18th career win.
The German equalled the achievement of compatriot Michael Schumacher in winning seven successive races, with only Vettel (nine in 2013 with Red Bull) and the late Italian Alberto Ascari ahead of them.
Hamilton was 25 seconds behind Rosberg with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen finishing third after winning a battle with fellow-Finn Valtteri Bottas, who started on the front row, in the Williams.
Rosberg, who won the last three races of 2015 and now the first four of 2016, leads triple world champion Hamilton by 43 points in the standings with 17 races remaining.
Nico Rosberg rattled off his fourth straight win of the season at the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi on Sunday with his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton taking second.
The race was marked by a chaotic first lap in which Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel retired after being hit twice by the Red Bull of Daniil Kyvat.
Kimi Raikkonen took third behind the Mercedes pair for Ferrari's 700th podium finish.
In the championship standings Rosberg stretched his lead over defending champion Hamilton to 43 points.


IFTTT is a handy and simple to use tool that enables almost anyone to cook up recipes and mashup code all without any programming skills or knowledge at all. This free resource is a great way for anyone to get started and create automated actions and calls to action that feed almost any blog platform or social media resource.
For example: let's say that you are a photography fan who uses Instagram constantly throughout the day. You love taking photos with your mobile device, touching them up and sharing them for everyone to see. Your followers seem to love the photos, so you think that maybe you'd like to get a bit more serious about this whole photography endeavor.
We'll get to photography-specific examples before this introduction is over, but the uses certainly don't stop with photography. In fact, I would recommend that you give IFTTT a try regardless of your walk of life. It's why I'm outline uses for everyone – from artists to students to professionals – in this guide.

Q: Django-admin module name not found? I am using Django version 1.6.11 and when I want to create the project by using the command Django-admin start project my site it throws the error:

\Python27\python.exe: No module named Django-admin

and when I use Django-admin.py start project my site it opens a new file named Django-admin.py.
I don't know what the issue is as when I open an already created Django project I am able to run the project using python manage.py run server but then also I am not able to create new app inside the project as it requires Django-admin startapp.

A: Are you sure you are using the right command to start a project?
According to official documentation, it should be:
django-admin startproject mysite

not
Django-admin start project my site

Which means: no uppercase and less spaces.
New apps should be created using:
python manage.py startapp app_name_here

not through django-admin.

Morella's Forest
Morella's Forest formed in Dayton, Ohio in 1992 by Sydney Rentz (vocals, lyrics), Shawn Johnson (guitars/keyboards), Sean McCorkle (bass), and Nate McCorkle (drums). They released their debut album 'Superdeluxe' in 1995, sounding a lot like new wave and 'shoegazing' music, with dreamy and hypnotic melodies. Their second album 'Ultraphonic hiss' appeared a year later, with 'From Dayton with love' following in 1998. On this album, their cover of Kids in America appears.
Morella's Forest's final album 'Tiny lights of heaven' appeared in 2002. Shortly afterwards, the band broke up.

My volunteer tomato plant is thriving! 😊 these are the biggest tomatoes this season.
30 pints of basil, oregano & garlic sauce!
Well… we canned salsa tonight… of course we roasted the tomatoes ?????????????????????
I've been meaning to post about my gardens I have, and I finally got around to taking pictures (and weeding to make them look nice).
First off are my plots. There's four of them, going from oldest plot to newest.
In my west plot I have some carrots, spinach, and lettuce coming up. A stubborn red potato started coming up, which was a surprise because I thought I got all of them last season. Mint and thyme are having fun in the front left corner, and the basil is coming up nicely too, though it's too short to see most of it. Tarragon is hiding under the oregano that absolutely took off this spring. There's some sage behind it somewhere, in between the four tomato plants. To the left of the tomatoes, hidden, is a night-scented tobacco plant, which I'm hoping will do what I was told it did and keep those stupid tobacco horn worms off my tomatoes (and no, you can't smoke it, unless you'd like to die, as it's in the nightshade family, and thus poisonous).
In my center plot, half is dedicated to sweet potato which is starting to spread around the remnants of the snow peas I had over winter. The other half has green onion, parsley hiding, lemon verbena, chamomile, hyssop, lavender, and garlic all thriving. The garlic actually sprouted in the fridge, so I got some free garlic to grow. Also featuring Cat Rock on the railroad ties.
In my north East plot I have Mad Hatter (a local variety of pepper I think), more sage, and three more pepper plants (one jalapeno, two bell), and rosemary. The bell and jalapeno plants I got at the local herb and plant festival again, though this year they looked quite pale and weren't growing much. Thankfully after a feeding, the leaves got darker green and got a bit taller too, so I'm hoping the stunt didn't push their season back much.
In my southeast plot, the newest plot I just built this spring, I have happily growing pie pumpkin, some hidden dill, marigold, and oregano to keep the beetles away along with some nasturtium too, and slow but steady growing cantaloupe. There's even a few female buds on the pumpkin, which is a great sign, and I hope they don't rot like last season.
Now for my non-plot plants.
I'm just taking care of them while she's out of the country for June.
I'm also trying my hand at asparagus this summer, in the big planter.
Also featuring Texas Rock behind the asparagus.
Got raspberries growing this year. The plant looked very sad when I got it, but now it's almost doubled in size with a bunch of new leaves.
I'm also growing black beans (bush variety), though I've had something keep stealing the beans before they could sprout (the family is split 50/50 on squirrels or bunnies being the culprit) so I made chicken wire domes to keep whatever it is out until the plants are big enough. So far so good.
Though it took over a month to sprout, I've got ginger coming up in a planter like the asparagus. I wasn't sure if it would sprout, but I saw that little shoot a couple days ago. Turns out getting ginger from Whole Foods does work for growing (and my camera doesn't like focusing on little sprouts in the shade).
So far so good on all my plants, besides the spinach and lettuce needing to be reseeded thanks to Oklahoma's wacky weather, and bean stealing. I can't wait for the tomatoes to come in. We had a great amount rain just as they got rooted so they shot up super quick, and the cherry one already has some tomatoes on it.
I'll post an update probably in July, or whenever stuff starts really fruiting.
Found this! I know it will help me and all of you guys!

Q: How to redirect delayed from within a widget that is built twice On my app's splash screen, I am setting the status bar color using SystemChrome and issue a delayed redirect to the main screen:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(App());
}

class App extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      theme: ThemeData.light(),
      title: 'App',
      routes: {'/': (context) => First(),
      '/2': (context) => Second()},
    );
  }
}

class First extends StatelessWidget {
  Future<void> _navigateToFollowUpRoute(BuildContext context) async {
    Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 2), () => Navigator.of(context).pushReplacementNamed('/2'));
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.light.copyWith(
      statusBarColor: Colors.black,
    ));
    print('building first');
    _navigateToFollowUpRoute(context);
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(child: Text("go")),
    );
  }
}

class Second extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(body: Center(child: Text("second")),);
  }
}

Calling setSystemUIOverlayStyle() seems to cause a widget rebuild, which triggers the delay twice, which causes the redirect to be called twice. Of course, this causes an exception regarding violation of context access (even without this, it would unnecessarily build the Second widget twice.
Is there a non-hacky way (thinking about a stateful widget here, "remembering" the initially issued redirect and suppressing the second) to resolve this?
NOTE: I need the redirect to happen from within a function in order to dynamically assign the secondary route (only hard-coded in the example for simplicity).

A: When I need to do something once when the widget is first created, I generally would make it into a Stateful widget and do the one-time call from the initState method.
Something else that might be useful is the AnnotatedRegion way of setting the system overlay:
new AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
  value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light.copyWith(
    statusBarColor: Colors.black,
  ),
  child: ....,
);

Healing oils are a popular option for natural skin care and pure essential oils are truly the only ones that you should be putting on your body. However, truly pure oils are extremely potent and can have negative side effects if they are not used properly. Before you apply pure essential oils directly to your skin, make sure that you are familiar with the proper procedures for safe and effective results.
Pure essential oils are the most powerful form of essential oil extracted from plants. This means that they have a high concentration of their active elements and, for some skin types, it may actually be too much of a good thing. For that reason, it is safest to always dilute your pure oils with a carrier oil. Olive oil and avocado oil are popular choices that will not impact the feel or scent of your favorite essential oil but will make it much safer for use.
After you have mixed your essential oil with a carrier oil, you still have to ensure that it is completely safe for your particular skin composition. To do this, apply a small amount of the mixture to a space on your skin. Let it sit for twenty-four hours to make sure that you do not have any kind of adverse reaction to the oil. If the patch test is a success, you should be able to safely use the oil on the rest of your body and experience positive results.
The safest way to make use of pure oils is to get them already incorporated into a skin care product that is developed or approved by a dermatologist. No matter how much research you do, if you are not a skin care expert, there is a chance that you will make a mistake with your oils and damage your skin. Many dermatologists create and endorse skin care products, such as the new skin care line developed by Dr. Susan Kallal. This is by far the safest route when choosing to use essential oils in your skin care routine.
For more information about Dr. Susan Kallal, please click here. If you would like to learn more about her new skin care line or want to get an order started, please click here.


The 2017 Shirley Jackson Awards!
As we noted last year, the Shirley Jackson Awards are named after the beloved and revered author of such seminal works as "The Lottery" (among a phenomenal collection of short stories), We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and The Haunting of Hill House. In recognition of the legacy of Shirley Jackson's writing, and with permission of the author's estate, the Shirley Jackson Awards recognize outstanding achievement in the literature of psychological suspense, horror, and the dark fantastic. This year's nominees represent some of the most intriguing, rule-breaking, genre-defying, intensely engaging reads of the past year (in our opinion, anyway…and that of the judges…). Thus, you can only guess how terrific the winners' books are!
So here is a selection from the categories of winners and nominees for the 2017 Shirley Jackson Awards, with links to the titles in our catalogs. We hope you find some new books to add to your list here, and would love to help you find even more dark fiction to add to your summer reading!

A typical United States fume hood that runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, uses 3.5 times more energy than the average house! Although new hood models are more efficient, remember to close the sashes of idle hoods to reduce energy consumption in your lab. If you work with Variable Air Volume (VAV) fume hoods, you can reduce their energy consumption by 60%! A shut sash reduces the amount of exhaust escaping through the hood; then, less air needs to be conditioned and released into the room to replace it.
Power manage your computer, by activating sleep mode. Contact energy@fas.harvard.edu if you need help.
Since 2006, we run a "Shut the Sash" contest in CCB to remind and reward people to close their sashes. Over several weeks, we track each hood to see which room decreases its exhaust (that is, had closed sashes), compared to baseline data. Educational materials, emails, and visits to group meetings accompany contest publicity and updates.
Together, the labs decreased hood exhaust by about 21%. If sustained over the course of the year, that would save over $100,000!
Contact us at energy@fas.harvard.edu if you have water processors in your lab. We work with Evolve to install water control timers, solenoids and time over-ride switches to reduce water consumption of unused processors. The savings from this easy measure can pay back for the project in less than a year.

Ib vogt Raises $90 Million for 135 MW Solar Project
The investment was provided by BayernLB and Siemens Financial Services
Ib vogt, a renewable energy project developer, raised $90.4 million to construct a 135 MW solar project in Poland. Commercial operation of the first section is expected in September 2022, and the entire project will be operational by the beginning of 2023.
The investment was provided by BayernLB and Siemens Financial Services through Siemens Bank.
The project covers an area of 154 hectares of land with high solar irradiation and low-quality soil and will consist of more than 250,000 solar panels. With an output of up to 150 GWh per year, the panels will produce clean solar electricity equivalent to the average consumption of 70,000 households, saving up to 100,000 tons of CO2 per year.
"This project is another important step for the company and our key mission of helping to drive the energy transition and the decarbonization of electricity generation. We are very pleased with the progress of this, our first major plant in Poland – with more to come – which is the result of many years of engagement in the country. It marks a significant milestone for ib vogt and our activities in Central and Eastern Europe. We would like to thank our partners BayernLB and Siemens Financial Services through Siemens Bank for their great support, expertise, and professionality in the financing of the project," said Anton Milner, CEO of ib vogt.
Karin Schramm, Sector Head Renewable Energy at BayernLB, said: "Following many years of successful cooperation, we are very pleased to having been able to support our long-standing customer ib vogt, on its course of expansion into new territories and assist with our sector expertise in renewable energies to finance together ib vogt's first project in Poland."
According to Mercom's 1H and Q2 2022 Solar Funding and M&A Report, announced large-scale project funding in Q2 2022 came to $6.9 billion, a 24% decrease compared to $9 billion in Q1 2022.

I chatted with Jim Rhea of The Hillbenders about their career so far and their love for The Who.
My mother for her persistent positivity and support for everyone around her. Young bands that give their music the respect it deserves. My son that makes me be a better person.
Grew up in the Ozarks: Springfield, MO to be exact. Normal middle class kid with divorced parents. Railroad tracks behind my house where my older brother and I would explore and later smoke cigarettes. Found music as an early teen. Mom was encouraging and had all sorts of musical instruments around. Went to Phish shows in my late teens, got a broken heart…college, bands, and partying in my 20's.
Q: Is there a story behind the band name?
It was either The HIllBenders, which was a play off of Hellbender (a amphibious creature found in the Ozarks) or The Walking Sticks (the logo would have been a walking stick carrying a walking stick). The banjo player wanted HillBenders and the mando player wanted Walking Sticks. They arm wrestled, Mando won, Banjo whined and threaten to quit…We became The Hillbenders.
Q: Why did you decide to cover The Who?
Our friend Louis Meyers was the visionary behind this decision. He wanted to do it for 20 some odd years, just waiting for the right time in his life and the right band to pull it off. He gave us the opportunity and we all trusted him. We lost him suddenly a year after it's release. He is missed and loved by us and many.
Q: What is your favorite song (in general) to perform and why?
Q: Are you excited about your show at Rams Head Annapolis?
Yes, this was a room that Louis insisted on doing with TOMMY so I'm happy to be getting that chance.
The HillBenders headline Rams Head Annapolis Friday!


Wednesdays in April and October | 7 p.m.
Journey with Smithsonian scientists and other conservation professionals as they travel the globe to study and protect species and ecosystems. Share in their adventures during these free science lecture series.
The series is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, so arrive early. Lectures take place at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia.
The Department of Animal Programs team currently manages 12 mammal and nine bird species in 24 specialized barns and building complexes spread over more than 1,000 acres at the SCBI. This special environment allows for unique studies that contribute to the survival of threatened, difficult-to-breed species with distinctive needs, especially those requiring large areas, natural group sizes and minimal public disturbance. An overview of the SCBI living collection will be presented along with highlights of our animal management and science. New species and new infrastructure will be discussed.
Learn how scientist Justin Cooper surveys biodiversity through acoustic recorders and camera traps, and working with citizen scientists. His latest research is about to take him to the Amazon!
April 17 | "Conservation Medicine — Saving a Species Through One Health," speaker: Dr. Dawn Zimmerman, wildlife veterinarian, SCBI's Global Health ProgramIn the 1980s, the critically endangered mountain gorilla was on the verge of extinction with only 250 animals left. Today, they number at 1,004 — the only great ape increasing in the wild. This is in part due to a One Health approach veterinarians took to address the health and well-being of both gorillas and humans. The recovery of the mountain gorilla population is considered one of the most successful conservation efforts of the last century. However, the population is still in a fragile state, and conservation efforts must remain vigilant. This includes preemptive research, mitigation strategies and prepared responses to current threats. Smithsonian is working both in situ and ex situ in these capacities for the benefit of gorilla conservation — from capacity building with in-country veterinarians and assessing novel technologies to monitor health and well-being to researching potentially devastating diseases.
In Myanmar, turtles and tortoises are rapidly disappearing — the result of poaching and other threats. The good news: all hope is not lost for critically endangered turtles. Rescue facilities across the country, supported by the Turtle Survival Alliance and Wildlife Conservation Society, are working to save these species from extinction. Thanks to a Friends of the National Zoo Round up for Conservation grant, Reptile Discovery Center assistant curator Matt Evans traveled to these facilities. He brought with him a host of supplies and husbandry expertise to help his colleagues improve the health and welfare of these endangered reptiles so they may be reintroduced back into the wild.
The SMSC Dining Hall will be open for dinner at 5 p.m. on lecture dates. Food service ends at 6:15 p.m. Lecture guests will be offered a special price of $10 per person. If you plan to attend dinner (all-you-can-eat), please RSVP to Maridee.Warren-Stearns@sodexo.com. Visit the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation Dining Commons Facebook page to see the evening's featured entree. A salad bar and grill items are also available.

Protesters assemble in front of Boris Johnson's residence in London, demonstrate against enforced disappearances in Balochistan
India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 01 Sep 2020, 10:57 pm
#BorisJohnson, #Pakistan, #EnforcedDisappearance
London: Protesters gathered outside the residence of British PM Boris Johnson to demonstrate against Pakistan on the issue of enforced disappearances in Balochistan.
The event occurred on Sunday to mark International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances.
According to reports, the protesters belonged to Free Balochistan Movement group.
They had assembled to express their support for the families of those who have been forcefully disappeared.
The protestors were carrying banners and raised slogans against Pakistan military's atrocities against Baloch people. They demanded the immediate release of previously abducted Baloch people and stopping of more enforced disappearances, reports ANI.
"On International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we are staging a protest outside Boris Johnson's residence. Pakistani forces are committing human rights abuses against Baloch people. We appeal to the international community to take note of what is happening in Balochistan," an activist told ANI.
"We saw how a woman named Malik Naz was killed in front of her four-year-old daughter Bramsh by the Pakistani military. A 12-year-old girl was also killed by the establishment. These things were not coming to light earlier due to blackout (in Pakistan). But now, the news on atrocities committed by Pakistani military is there on social media and people are coming to know about it," she added.

my article is about the 35 mile rainbow in new york.
my article is about the sun's recent flares. every 11 years the sun does this. the earth is not going to be effected by the solar flare due to the magnetosphere in are atmostsphere. are satellite are probly going to affect in this blast.
My summer is about 35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights up New York Skies to Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims, By Meera Dolasia. On Tuesday November 26th to Thursday November 28th, New York residents were treated to an unusual but glorious sight 35-mile rainbow. That lit up the cloudy night skies all the way from Manhattan to the hurricane ravaged Brooklyn. Color was not a freak act of nature, but a powerful work of art created by German artist Yvette Mattern. The name of the storm was called 'Global Rainbow after the Storm'.
The laser installation that was beamed off Manhattan's Standard Hotel was thought up by the Berlin-based artist as a way to provide people with a sense of peace and security especially, during a time of crises, such as the one the city has been through thanks to Hurricane Sandy. Though the art installation was not specially created for New York City they have previously been displayed across Europe and even at the London Olympic. It served as great symbol of hope and restoration for the residents that are still recovering from the devastation and trying to re-build their lives the best they can!
Hawaii's Big Island is home to the world's most active volcanoes. But none are dynamic or wonderful as Kilauea and been erupting all the time. Now it is erupting with a huge explosion.
The lava starts to edge to the ocean in October and was not until Nov. when it reach the water and this show is attracting a lot of people to watch and are being told to keep a safe distance.
This volcano is not even classified as a stand-alone volcano but to be an off shooter.
There is a myth about a guy named Pele who was exiled by her father, the maker, and sent her to Hawaii. There she screamed and dug fire pits.
35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights Up New York Skies.
This story was written by Meera Dolasia. The passage I am writing about is called 35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights Up New York Skies To Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims.
On Tuesday November 26th , New York residents looked up to find something very different from normal. In the skies there was a 35 mile rainbows, above there heads. This rainbow was created to honor the victims of hurricane Sandy. The rainbow stretched all the way from Manhattan to Brooklyn. The rainbow was up in the sky till Thursday November 28th. This beautiful work of art was created by German artist Yvette Mattern.
My article is about a 35 mile laser rainbow. It streched from Manhatten all the way to Brooklyn. This rainbow was made on Tuesday November 26 to Thursday November 29. The rainbow was beamed off of Manhattens hotel. This rainbow was created by a german artist named Yvette Mattern.. i think this rainbow is good because it makes people feel calm..
I read Lava from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Spills into the Ocean, By Meera Dolasia on December 2, 2012. Though the lava began to edge toward the ocean on October 29th it was not until November 25th, that it made its first entry into the water.
It took seven miles to reach the ocean. And it took 26 to 27 day to reach the ocean.
Surfers visiting Sydney's world famous Bondi Beach on Tuesday November 26th were in for a little shock the normally clear blue ocean waters had turned a red! However, before you get all concerned, it was not the result of a shark attack, or oily tomato sauce as was the original rumor! Instead the culprit is an overabundance of algae called noctiluca scintillans or sea sparkle.
Known to happen frequently in the oceans around California, this occurrence is called Red Tides. This happens when microscopic organisms become concentrated in small sections of the ocean. Australian authorities believe that this latest increase in population can be the cause of a recent up swell that brought in nutrient rich waters to the coastline.
23rd Makeover Of Sweden's Ice Hotel Is Fabulous And Freezing!
The reason I read this article was because I thought that it sounded interesting. This article is about a hotel in Sweden made entirely out of ice. No matter what room they are in the temperature is always the same a temperature of about 9° below freezing (23°F). that is what this article was about.
The article I am reading is called "Crimson Waters Cause Several Sydney Beaches To Close." It is written by Meera Dolasia. It is about the world famous Bondi Beach. It turned crimson red! It was not from a shark attack..it was from a type of algae called noctiluca scintillans.
"The good news is that it does not last for long periods of time - In fact, Bondi Beach, which was closed by the authorities on Tuesday, is already open to visitors and sporting its usual blue color. And though many people are afraid of the intense redness, besides causing a slight irritation to the skin and eyes, the algae are not harmful to humans." This is a paragraph from the article. It says that this algae is not harmful to humans at all so you could still swim in our or surf or anything like that. This algae wont stay there forever. It doesn't last very long. It was closed though due to the algae but was opened back up on Tuesday.
"However, as the microorganisms die and sink in the shallow waters of the coastline, they decompose and cause areas of low oxygen. If the depletion is severe, as seems to be the case here, it does kill marine animals that reside in these zones." This is also a paragraph from the article. It talks about how this algae does kill marine animals. When the microrganisms die and then sink into the lower waters of the shore line they decompose and cause the areas to have low oxygen in those areas. That then kills the marine animals.
I chose this article because it looked interesting. It added to my knowledge on a different type of algae that turned this beach red. This article was informational and talked about an algae called noctiluca scintillans.
I read the article about Crimson Waters have caused beaches in Sydney to close. This article was by Meera Dolasia, once again like all the other articles. It is about the water at these Sydney beaches turning red!
This unusual scene happens around California sometimes but not in Sydney. This crimson red water is from an abundance of algae called noctiluca scintillans. This new red water won't last long but for a while people will be seeing some red water in the normally clear water. Somebody in the area actually started a rumer that a bunch of tomato juice was spilt in the water!
The first beach this happened to has already reopened and his no longer red, and his busy like it would normally be. Surfers have found that the red color goes away at night, but that's in California. If the red water is very red it can kill marine animals living in the area of red water.
So I thought that the article was pretty good, but a little creepy if you lived there. This articles pictures of the red watered beaches were really cool and are pretty interesting. If you have time you should check it out!
The article that I am summarizing is the, 23rd makeover of Sweden's Ice Hotel. The author is Meera Dolasia. The main idea of this article is that the hotel has been around for 23 years and remade every year entirely from ice.
The hotel is located in Sweden and has been around 23 years, and became started by accident. A local tourist company was trying to attract people and had an art exhibition in a special built igloo on the frozen Torne River. It attracted many day visitors but a group of brae people decided to try spending the night there. That is how it got started.
Each year the design becomes more intricate, and has 47 bedrooms, which artists from around the around the world race to compete to carve, it also has a reception lobby or ice bar. It can even host weddings. All the rooms are the same temperature, 23 degrees Fahrenheit, and guests are advised to keep gloves and hats on at all times. Thermal sleeping bags are kept in the bedrooms.
Like any other hotel, it hosts activities for guests, including, snowshoeing, Moose safaris, dog sledding, snowmobile safaris, and overnight wilderness camps. Meals are limited to the hotel, but they still provide gourmet meals, and the drinks are always perfectly chilled. This is a healthy building for the environment, because when the temperatures heat up, it melts and nothing is left behind.
I chose this article because it is so interesting that it is made of entirely ice. I learned that almost anything is possible. This will help me in the future, so that if they are still remaking this, I can show my children.
I read the article called NASA Observatory Captures Spectacular Sun Eruptions. It was written by Meera Dolasia. IT is about large glowing clouds that explode from the sun's surface.
On November 16th NASA SDO captured on tape 2 back to back sun eruptions. The eruptions are also called solar prominences. They are huge arcs of gas that erupt from the surface of the sun.
The explosions begin usually above a sunspot. These spots become unstable and explode. They release intense amounts of energy, as much as 10 billion hydrogen bombs.
That article was really informative. It would be bad if one of the explosions hit the earth.
Known to happen frequently in the oceans around California, this occurrence is called' Red Tides'. 'This happens when microscopic organisms become concentrated in small sections of the ocean'. Australian authorities believe that this latest increase in population can be the cause of a recent up swell that brought in nutrient rich waters to the coastline.
The best part about the Red Tides is that while they may appear a little concerning during the day, at night the organisms become bioluminescent thanks to a chemical reaction caused when they hit against each other in the ocean waves. This makes the ocean wave glow. I would love to see this at night it would be an awesome sight!
People visiting Sydney's well-known Bondi Beach on November 26th had a bit of astonishment. When they showed up the water was not the blue it usually is, it was a totally different color . . . RED! The water did not turn red because there was blood in the water it turned red, but because of algae. It happened when these microscopic organisms became concentrated in the small section of the ocean. Some believe that this latest increase in population caused that the tide to bring in nutrient-rich waters to the coastline.
The red color doesn't last long. It was closed by the authorities on Tuesday, but is already open to visitors. It is NOT red anymore which is a good. Even though the red color is gone some people are still scared to go into the water. The red might have been scary, but it only caused minor irritation to the skin and eyes.
It may be red during the day, but at night it is not red. It is a different color again. And it is not only a color, but it also GLOWS, also called bioluminescent! It is rather beautiful at night. The surfers that go 2 the beach luv it. It gives them a great excuse to surf at night.
I am summarizing an article about an ice hotel created Sweden. This article was published by Meera Dolasia on November 30, 2012. (This hotel was created in a tiny village of Jukkasjarvi, Sweden.) (The hotel is made out of ice blocks lugged in from the nearby Torne River.) (What's even more stunning is that the hotel gets more awesome each year.
This article is very interesting. I have heard of this hotel, but there were a lot of things I didn't know about it that were in this article. I don't know if I would stay in this hotel because it's freezing! This shows that people can create things no one has ever thought of before. This article is very educational.
Hawaii's Big Islands home to some of the world's most active volcanoes. However none are as dynamic or spectacular as the Kilauea which has been erupting almost nonstop since 1983. However its recent explosion was so large that for the first time ever, the lava has made a seven-mile journey right into the ocean making for some stunning visuals. The lava began to the edge toward the ocean in October 29th it was not until November 25th that it made its first entry into the water. "Not surprisingly, the amazing phenomenon is attracting thousands of visitors to the area. While not dangerous, authorities are warning tourists to watch the spectacle from a safe distance".
That's because while lava entering the water may look quite benign, it could be dangerous - not just because of the gas emitted, but also, because the crashing waves intersecting with the hot lava could spew out scalding water and even, tiny particles of volcanic glass. Given the amazing spews Kilauea has had for decades, it is almost impossible to believe that it was once not even classified as a stand-alone volcano, but instead, thought to be an offshoot of its bigger neighbor. Fortunately, further research revealed that it is indeed a full-fledged volcano - one with its own magma-plumbing system that extends more than 60km below the earth's surface.
I chose to read the article, "23rd Makeover of Sweeden's Ice Hotel Is Fabulous and Freezing!" which is about a hotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweeden made entirely out of ice. The hotel is remade every year because it melts in the summer.
This hotel was thought of on accident because an art show was being made in an igloo. Since then it has gotten more amazing each year. The hotel offers something for everyone. The entire hotel is always only about 23 degrees F. It has lots of activities like snowshoeing and dog sledding.
This is known by some as the ultimate green building, because it melts away when the weather gets hotter. There are other hotels like this one, but none are as big and detailed as this one.
I chose this article because I had heard of the hotel before and wanted to see it. I learned that its in a small town in sweeden. This knowledge probably wont help me with anything in the future.
I read the article, "23rd Makeover of Sweden's Ice Hotel Is Fabulous and Freezing!" By Meera Dolasia. It is about the famous ice hotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. It is receiving it's 23rd makeover. It gets one every year.
The whole building is carved entirely from ice carried in from nearby Torne River. The hotel gets more and more extravagant each and every year! The idea for the ice hotel was not purposeful, though. A local tourist company was trying to attract tourists during the severe winter months. It was a huge success in attracting day visitors, but it wasn't until a few brave people came into the hotel with reindeer hides and sleeping bags and spent the night in the igloo. It sparked an idea in the villagers.
It has 47 bedroom suites, a reception lobby, and ice bar, and even has a church for couples looking for a different wedding place to get married. It can accommodate any visitor and can offer something for every budget. No matter what room or suite you are in, the temperature is the same -5 degrees Celsius (23 degrees Fahrenhait). Many guests only just spend one night at the ice hotel because of the cold temps.
When summer comes, the hotel melts into a giant puddle, leaving no trace of its existence. Most guests genuinely enjoy the experience of staying at the ice hotel, there are gourmet meals and the drinks are always chilled to perfection! I enjoyed reading this article.
My story is about the ice hotel by Meera Dolasia. In the article it explain how most hotels are lucky if they go through one or two renovations during their lifetime, but this hotel in the tiny village of Jukkasjarvi, Sweden gets a complete makeover every year because believe it or not, it is carved entirely from Ice blocks lugged in from the nearby Torne River. What's even more stunning is that the hotel gets increasingly fabulous each year!
Now in its 23rd year, the idea of building a frozen hotel came about quite accidently, after a local tourist company trying attract visitors during the severe winter months, hosted an art exhibition in a specially built igloo atop the frozen Torne River. While the 60sq.ft. structure was a huge success attracting many day visitors, it was not until a group of brave souls arrived with reindeer hides and sleeping bags and announced their intention to spend the night inside the igloo that the villagers had an 'aha' moment!
In order to accommodate every kind of visitor, the hotel offers something for every budget - Ranging from a luxurious Art Deco Suite, which boasts of beautiful ice sculptures to the bare bones Snow Room, which contains just an icy bed and a reindeer skin. i Would not have liked it very much, but that would have been awesome.
This week I choose to read and do Smart Desert Shrub Uses the Spiny Mouse to Disperse its Seeds. The Germination, the process through which plants disperse seeds so that they can sprout and grow into new plants can be a little tricky, given that plants are immobile. Some like dandelions use wind, others by growing prickly fruits that stick to the fur or spine of animals. Then there are those that yeid sweet fruit that animals seek out and devour. However, in order for that to work successfully, those plants have to get it really right.
35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights up New York Skies to Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims, By Meera Dolasia. On Tuesday November 26th to Thursday November 28th, New York residents were treated to an unusual but glorious sight 35-mile rainbow. That lit up the cloudy night skies all the way from Manhattan to the hurricane ravaged Brooklyn. Color was not a freak act of nature, but a powerful work of art created by German artist Yvette Mattern. The name of the storm was called 'Global Rainbow after the Storm'.
I Am Writing About the "23rd Makeover of Sweden's Ice Hotel Is Fabulous And Freezing." This hotel is located in a small village called Jukkasjavi in Sweden. They have to rebuild the hotel every year. It is completely carved out of ice. The reason they rebuild it is because it all melts into one big puddle.
It has been around for 23 years. the idea of building a frozen hotel came about quite accidently, after a local tourist company trying attract visitors during the severe winter months, hosted an art exhibition in a specially built igloo atop the frozen Torne River. The design is unique gets increasingly sophisticated, year after year.They call this hotel on advertisement a work of art!
35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights Up New York Skies To Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims by Meera Dolasia. On Novemeber 26th to November 28th a 35 mile Rainbow shined across New York. To the cities Manhattan to Brooklyn. The Laser Rainbow was created by Yvette Mattern.
They called it "Global Rainbow After The Storm" The Laser was reflected off of the Standard Hotel. The point of the rainbow laser was to deliever "a message of unity regardless of class, race, religion, and culture"
It wasnt the first time the laser has made an apperance. It also appeared at the London Olympics and across Europe. "it served as great symbol of hope and restoration for the residents that are still recovering from the devastation and trying to re-build their lives the best they can"
I did my article review over "35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights up New York Skies to Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims". This article is about an artist that created a 35 mile rainbow. This rainbow stretched from Manhattan to Brooklyn.
This rainbow is called 'Global Rainbow after the Storm'. The artist wanted this rainbow to show peace and security.
a red tide occured on the coast of australia today surprising many surfers and residents. this weird thing is caused by an overabundance of a certain type of alge not as many people thought a brutal shark attack or a major oil spill. this red tide is known to happen around the coast of california not the coast of australia. this strange thing had many peole worried and mystified. experts belive that this was caused by a recent increase in fresh water coming into the bay of the beach. all in all this is a very weird occurance and doesn't happen very often.
What would you say if when you arrived at the beach ready to swim and have fun you discovered the water had turned blood red? Probably pretty shocked right? Well that's how these people is Sydney felt. "The normally crystal clear blue ocean waters had turned a crimson red!" The cause of the red water is something you might now expect. An overabundance of algae known as sea sparkle.
This is known as red tides. It happens when these organisms become concentrated in the ocean. Its known to happen mainly around the oceans in California. Now the good news is that it will not last for long. Many of the beaches closed have now reopened to visitors. Although there is no telling if the normal amount of visitors are going to show up. Considering many are concerned about weither or not the algae is harmful or not. But the only thing so far that has been reported harmful is causing a slight irritation the eyes and skin.
However, there is a down side to the story. "As the algae start to die and sink in the shallow waters of the coastline, they decompose and cause areas of low oxygen. If the depletion is severe, as seems to the case here, it does kill marine animals that reside in these zones." However there is an upside to the story. During the day the oceans are blood red. But at night the dark red seas turned to a brilliant blue. The reason would be because a chemical in the organisms cause them to glow!
Now in my opinion this is very cool. I would love to witness this magnificent event. I think you would be very fortunate to see the seas. Yes I'll admit at first I would be a little scared but at night I would love the seas the amazing glowing seas!
I think that it would be cool to stay at a hotel that is made of ice. I think it would be very pretty but cold.
This hotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden gets a makeover every year because it is made out of ice. It is carved entirely from ice blocks lugged in from the nearby Torne River. What's even more stunning is that the hotel gets more fabulous each year.
Artists from around the world come to carve one of the 47 rooms, reception lobby or ice bar. The hotel even houses a church for couples looking for an offbeat wedding location!! There are rooms that are called art deco suite which has beautiful ice sculptures to the bare bones snow room which has just an icy bed and a reindeer skin, but no matter what room you are in it is a chilling -5C!!!!! That's why guests are advised to keep their gloves, hats, coats etc. on.
The guests can choose what they want to do for example snowshoeing, moose safaris, dog sledding, snowmobiles, and overnight wilderness camps. The employees are always able to make a wonderful meal. And for the drinks, well they are always chilled to perfection. Then when summer comes the hotel melts sadly.
I am doing the article called 23rd Makeover of Swedens Ice Hotel is Fabulous and Freezing!!! This article is about how tis hotel in Sweden is made out of ice. Every year the hotel is carved out of ice. Which means it has to get remodeled every year. This year is the 23rd year they have remodeled. This year, something unexpected happened. Tourists came and was giving a tour of the Torne River that has an igloo. Which is where they get all of the ice for the hotel from. While giving the tour, some people started coming in with sleeping bags to sleep inside the igloo. The Ice Hotel found this out they were like, there is no point when there is a hotel right here. The Ice Hotel comes with 47 bedrooms, an ice bar, and even has a church for weddings. Every single room has the same temperature, which is 23 degrees F. Most of the visitors have thermal sleeping bags, hats, and gloves. Most people just stay there one night because it is so cold. Then the next night they move to more warmer cabins nearby. What is weird about this is every summer, the ice melts and turns into one giant puddle. Then they rebuild it. Even though its cold guests say it an experience of a lifetime.
I read the article 35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights Up New York Skies To Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims. This article was very cool actually. New York residents were treated to an unusual but very awesome sight, which started Tuesday November 26th and lasted till Thursday November 28th. This sight was a 35-mile rainbow that lit up the nights' cloudy skies, all the way from Manhattan to the hurricane damaged Brooklyn. This rainbow lazer wasn't just a weird act of nature, but a very powerful work of art made by german artist Yvette Mattern.
The speciality of the rainbow lazer was to help provide and bring a sence of peace and security to many New Yorkers. The laser is known as 'Global Rainbow After The Storm'. Another reasoning for this lazer is to relay a message of unity regardless of class, religion, culture, or race.
This lazer wasn't created just for New York City, though. It has been displayed previously all across Europe and even at the London Olympics, as a great symbol of hope and restoration for the residents that are still recovering from the devistation and trying to rebuild their lives the best they can!
I really enjoyed this article. It was very interesting. I think you might enjoy it also.
35-mile Laser Rainbow Lights up New York Skies to Honor Hurricane Sandy Victims, By Meera Dolasia. On Tuesday November 26th to Thursday November 28th, New York residents were treated to an unusual but cool sight 35-mile rainbow. That lit up the cloudy night skies all the way from Manhattan to the hurricane Brooklyn. Color was not a freak act of nature, but a powerful work of art created by German artist Yvette Mattern. The name of the storm was called 'Global Rainbow after the Storm'.
The laser installation that was beamed off Manhattan's Standard Hotel was thought up by the Berlin-based artist as a way to provide people with a sense of peace and security especially, during a time of crises, such as the one the city has been through thanks to Hurricane Sandy. Though the art installation was not specially created for New York City they have previously been displayed across Europe and even at the London Olympic.
This hotel has went threw many renavations. It gets a new make over every year.its now 23 years old.
The frozen idea came from a torist. It is an igloo. Its over the torne river.
The idea came a long way. It increases year after year. They have ice cars.
Its neg 5 degrees in the hotel. They have many visiters. They have a room called bare bones.

A Unique First South America Vacation – Argentina, Chile and Bolivia
ByCarolyn Weppler
Read Time7 mins
Home / Latin America & Antarctica / Argentina / A Unique First South America V…
The 6th continent I visited was during my South America vacation (still waiting on Antarctica to complete all 7!), and like so many North Americans, I left the closest to almost last. The beauty of travelling from North America to South America is the lack of jet-lag as you only cross 2, max 3 time zones, awakening refreshed your first morning. Flights are frequent and there is a ton of choice. I hummed and hawed over the perfect first itinerary before coming up with a trip full of iconic and awe inspiring scenery using a variety of cruise, flight, and 4WD transportation, a little bit of luxury, some pretty hardcore adventure in Bolivia (definitely not for everyone) all jammed into 3 weeks. It was an amazing trip, and I hope you'll find my experience useful in planning your own South American adventure.
Exploring Tierra del Fuego by land and sea aboard the Stella Australis
My travel partner and I flew into Buenos Aires, Argentina for 2 nights and did a whirlwind city sightseeing tour which only served to whet my appetite to return and explore in more depth. (The food was incredible!) It was then a short flight down to Ushuaia, capital city of Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire), where we enjoyed one night before we were to embark on our cruise. Ushuaia is a hubbub of activity jam packed with hotels, coffee shops, pubs, souvenir shops touting unique "end of the world" handicrafts and a plethora of adventure outfitters hoping to sell you the Gore-Tex jacket you forgot to buy at home!
The voyage on the Stella Australis from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas in Chile is 3 nights and 4 days and a perfect way for those without lots of time to see Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia. The first stop is at Cape Horn, heading to shore from the ship in a zodiac on the open water is part of the excitement, but a small ramp of sorts makes getting in and out very easy for almost anyone. Standing at the bottom of the world taking in the vastness of the ocean thinking of all the explorers that have rounded the Horn is a major highlight.
4/5-Day Round the Horn Patagonia Cruise from Ushuaia
Each day the ship anchors in 1-2 different locations and passengers head to shore on zodiacs to explore the indigenous flora and fauna, see fjords, glaciers (we were lucky enough to watch one calving which was exciting and a little scary at the same time), and learn about the early settlers including the Yaghan tribe who lived nearly naked covered in a protective animal grease until meeting the early European Settlers. There is sadly only one remaining Yaghan still alive today, her name is Christina Calderon. The last day before docking in Punta Arenas the vessel heads to the Magdalena Island to see thousands of Magellanic Penguins, who dig burrows for their nests.
Magellanic penguins
From Punta Arenas we flew to Santiago and on to Rapa Nui, Easter Island to see the mysterious and iconic Moai. Easter Island is a 5 hour flight from Santiago and is one of the most isolated islands in the world. It lies 3,512km from Chile and 2075km from Pitcairn Island, but is only 24km long and 12km wide, with a population of about 5,800. Easter Island is a living outdoor museum with numerous sites to visit the mysterious Moai and learn the captivating history behind these massive statues that were erected between 1250 and 1500AD.
The island has a distinctly wild feel to it, with horseback still being a normal form of transport for many locals, and there's only one market where local produce is sold alongside a handful vendors selling distinctly unique souvenirs.
The local restaurants served large portions of fresh and incredibly tasty meals in a very authentic Polynesian Island atmosphere with no pretension. Hotels ranged from motel style to deluxe all inclusive properties but there are only a handful in total on the island and it was obvious that western culture and mass tourism wouldn't be arriving onto the island anytime soon.
Leaving Rapa Nui we then headed to modern Santiago, capital of Chile, for a full day of city sightseeing before flying to Calama in Northern Chile. We continued by road to San Pedro de Atacama in the Chilean Altiplano (high altitude desert). It was stunning to witness such stark contrasts in Chile and Argentina's various landscapes. Every trip should have a bit of luxurious indulgence, and for this South America vacation, this was the place!
We stayed at the Tierra de Atacama, where your own personal guide meets with you over wine in the lounge every evening to plan your next day's activities. These included several hiking options, biking, bird watching, sliding down sand dunes and more. All activities, use of spa facilities, meals and alcohol are included in the rates (spa treatments are additional). The property itself is stunning, but we were often out exploring our surroundings.
8-Day Tierra Chile Top to Bottom
Flamingos in flight
From Northern Chile, we drove to the Bolivian border where we were met by our Bolivian driver and guide their 4WD vehicle and continued onto the most incredibly magnificent scenery you can imagine. There are lakes that are red, green, blue and white, high altitude mountains, and fields of geysers and boiling mud. The sky is as blue as can be, and there is wildlife everywhere! The climate is harsh, with roads unpaved and seemingly nonexistent to us but easily navigated by our guide (do not try this alone).
Tierra de Atacama
Make no mistake, Bolivia is not for everyone. The crossing from San Pedro de Atacama in Chile to Uyuni in Bolivia is rough, and guest houses only have electricity from 6-10pm, the food is basic but for those in search of adventure and landscapes like nothing on earth… it's all part of the fun!
We finished in Uyuni for a visit to the fantastic salt flats before making our final drive to La Paz where we caught our flight home.
3-Day La Paz Stopover
It's certainly necessary to invest a bit of time in choosing were you want to go on your South America vacation, but once in destination, I was caught up in the adventure, and it only occurred once I was flying home that I'd crossed half a continent, deserts, oceans, 2 countries (and Easter Island!) and not experienced a single problem. It was a busy but fantastic itinerary travelling diverse landscapes – something I'll never forget despite the abundance of fantastic Argentine and Chilean wine.
The Salt flats of Bolivia – most of North America's road salt comes from here!

Tavis Smiley Aims To Put Poverty On 2012 Election Agenda

"Two decades ago we were celebrating what was the Year Of The Woman in '92, and now we're dealing with a war on women in 2012," Tavis Smiley said on a recent afternoon.
Smiley rattles off some numbers.
"Women are much more likely to be poor than men, and more than a million children have fallen into poverty, and more than 500,000 have fallen into extreme poverty" — that is, living on less than $2 a day — "since 2010."
Recent census data shows that the number of children who live in extreme poverty has doubled from 1996 to 2011, from 1.4 million to 2.8 million.
To draw attention to this problem, Smiley is moderating a televised symposium Sunday called"Made Visible: Women, Children and Poverty In America" at New York University. Smiley said that he consciously assembled a panel that would feature women from diverse backgrounds since he felt that so much of the recent conversation around women's issues in America — he specifically referred to the recent fight in Congress over insuring female contraception — included few women's voices.
"When it became an issue, all the talking heads who were talking about it were men," he said. "If you're talking about a panel on women in poverty, [then] who best to make the case? I recognize that what I can do is use the platform that I've been blessed to have."
The panelists will include Labor Secretary Hilda Solis; Randi Weingarten, the powerful head of the American Federation of Teachers; the television executive Nely Calan; Suze Orman, the personal finance expert; Faye Wattleton, the former head of Planned Parenthood; Sheryl WuDunn, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter; the health advocate Cecelia FireThunder; and the economist Julianne Malveaux. (You can register to attend the event, which is free and will air on C-SPAN, here.)
"These issues at first glance might seem disparate," Smiley said of the panel. "What does contraception have to do with poverty? What does a woman's right to choose have to do with poverty? What do [Rush] Limbaugh's comments [about Sandra Fluke] have to do with poverty? All these dots need to be connected."
Smiley said that he is pushing to make poverty part of the conversation during the election cycle, and he said the Obama administration, of which he's been a fierce critic, has pointedly avoided discussing it. "Last year, President Obama became the first president since 1948 to not mention 'poor' or 'poverty' in the State of the Union address."
Solis has said to push U.S. leaders on poverty, noting that cutting rates in poverty in half was almost achieved following President Lyndon Johnson's launch of the "War on Poverty" nearly half a century ago.
"You think big, and you challenge America's leaders to do big things," Solis said in October 2011. "Cutting the poverty rate in half in ten years is something that I too believe we can do."
Smiley was asked whether the omission of poverty — and the reluctance of elected officials and candidates in general to discuss poverty — was because poor people don't vote in large enough numbers to make them a bloc worth courting.
"Politicians can speak to the concerns of the middle class, but they never speak to the ranks of the 'perpetually poor,'" he said in response. "That won't happen this year, because the new poor are the former middle class."
The numbers back him up. Last year, the Census reported that half of all Americans now qualify as low income.
Smiley's fierce criticism of Obama, particularly on issues surrounding poverty and black unemployment, have made him persona non grata in many black circles.
But Smiley said that his criticism of Obama from the left is part of the black prophetic tradition — the practice of preachers and thinkers speaking truth to power and pushing for social justice.
"There's no Abraham Lincoln without Frederick Douglass, there's no F.D.R. without A. Philip Randolph, there's no L.B.J. without M.L.K.," Smiley said. "What makes him a better president is being pushed."
"I do not subscribe to the philosophy [that] a rising tide lifts all boats," Smiley said of President Obama's stated approach to dealing with staggering black unemployment. "On that, I don't think the president is misguided. I think he's wrong. The tide is up on Wall Street, but it's down on Harlem. People think a rising tide lifts, but it also drowns some people."
He said that he is agitating for the Obama administration to make serious inroads on poverty alleviation because the current White House will be the most amenable to the concerns of people of color. The Obama administration was not immediately available for comment on its record in dealing with poverty and black unemployment.
"This moment represents our last, best chance to turn this around," Smiley said.
"There is nobody on the right who presents a better alternative than Barack Obama," he said. "He's the best of the options we have. [But] historians are going to ask: how is it that a moment a black man was president, the bottom was falling out of black America?"

Emily Watson will play a psychiatrist assigned to work with a woman accused of a heinous crime but who claims she can't remember a thing in "Too Close," a new drama for ITV. The series will be produced by Snowed-In Productions, which is a sister company of J.K. Rowling's Bronte Film and Television.
All3Media International is also on board the miniseries and will sell it internationally. It is written by actress and author Clara Salaman who adapts her novel of the same name, which was written under the pseudonym Natalie Daniels.
Watson ("Chernobyl") will play Dr. Emma Robinson who is sent to asses a suspect, Connie, ahead of her trial. Connie has a searing insight into Emma's deepest insecurities and their sessions become a complex psychological game.
Snowed-In's head of drama, Ruth Kenley-Letts ("The Casual Vacancy") will exec produce. "Clara's scripts are consistently gripping, with compelling and brilliantly realized women at their heart," she said.
"'Too Close' is a brilliant script where you are never sure who has the power – the psychologist or her patient, or whether Connie is the monster she's portrayed as," added ITV drama boss Polly Hill who commissioned the series.
She added: "I'm delighted that Emily Watson is going to play Emma, who will be phenomenal and I'm looking forward to working with Ruth Kenley-Letts and the team at Snowed-In Productions to bring this fantastic adaptation to ITV."

This has been a journey for me and actually, it is one I am still on because sometimes I let those old scripts play in my mind that say "you are not an artist". I determined long ago that I did not want my fears and phobias to be passed on to my children. They can make their own, but they don't need to be burdened with mine. So, I overcame a pretty serious creepy-crawly phobia and now have bug-lovers for children. I am working on overcoming my kitchen, sewing, and art anxiety and one way I do that is by surrounding myself with great information.
It is one of our favorites and we are creating all sorts of amazing things with it. The book is laid out in four page sections. The first two page spread showcases an artist's life and one of his or her works. The next two pages give step-by-step instructions to create your own masterpiece in the same style as the artist just spotlighted.
And even for a recovering art-phobe like me, it works wonderfully well. So well, my children don't even know the extent of my limitations.
Thank you for that suggestion – it looks really good! I just put it on hold at the library to test drive before we buy, but I'm excited!
Oh, you will love it! We especially love the Kandinksy concentric circles! Let me know how it works out for you!
