Q: How to prevent notitifcation observer from being called after UIViewController is popped? I have 2 UIViewController A and B. From A I pushed B and B has 2 observers for reachability. Now when I pop B and comes to A after this if Network goes off then the method written in VC B is called. I'm unable to figure it out that if B is already popped from navigation stack how it's method is called ?
Note -

*

*I'm not having any property for VC B in VC A. Im always
creating a new instance of VC B whenever pushing from VC A.

*I also know I can remove observer in viewWillDisappear but still I want to
know why observer is called even after the VC B is popped.

A: How about if you use a flag that you switch on in viewWillAppear and off in viewWillDisappear and also in other relevant places e.g. in isMovingFromParentViewController or what applies based on how you present it. Then you can flag your action when the observer triggers. Here is an outline.
@interface ViewController ()

@property (nonatomic) BOOL flag;

@end

@implementation ViewController

// Action triggered by observer
- ( void ) someAction
{
    if ( self.flag )
    {
        // do it
    }
}

// Switch on
- ( void ) viewWillAppear:( BOOL ) animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.flag = YES;
}

// Switch off
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    self.flag = NO;
}

@end

This is pretty simple. It is easy to maintain and debug and also if you need to at some stage switch on or off the action based on some other reason, it is easy to accommodate.
PS : You really need to show some code ... it is difficult to give more specific answer without you giving any code.

Spain, Messi, Fowler, Man United and more great sporting hat-tricks
Damian Mannion
Updated: 2nd July 2012, 1:48 pm
Spain secured a hat-trick of wins in major football tournaments after beating Italy in the Euro 2012 final
After Spain's fantastic hat-trick of major football tournament wins, with the 4-0 thrashing of Italy in the Euro 2012 final following triumphs at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, we are looking back over other memorable sporting trebles, including a young Robbie Fowler, super Lionel Messi and two of talkSPORT's very own.
DARREN GOUGH TAKES ON AUSTRALIA
Goughie grabbed the headlines during the fifth and final Test in the 1999 Ashes with his superb spell in Sydney. Having secured a 12-run win in Melbourne in the fourth Test, England went into the match trailing the series 2-1 and despite the talkSPORT Drive presenter's heroics, they lost by 98 runs. It was the first time an Englishman had taken an Ashes hat-trick since Jack Hearne in 1899.
LIONEL MESSI WRAPS UP BALLON D'OR TREBLE
He has only just turned 25, yet Lionel Messi is already regarded as one of football's all-time greats and in January the Barcelona ace reigned supreme for the third year running with his Ballon d'Or triumph. Beating Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi, Messi became the fourth player, after Michel Platini, Marco van Basten and Johan Cruyff to win the trophy three times, though the latter two of the Argentinian's triumphs came after the award – previously given to European football's star player – had merged with FIFA's World Player Of The Year award.
ALVIN MARTIN NETS AGAINST THREE DIFFERENT 'KEEPERS
Football First's Alvin Martin's treble in 1986 actually came against three different goalkeepers when his West Ham side took on Newcastle at Upton Park. Scoring first against Martin Thomas, the defender and talkSPORT presenter then headed past Chris Hedworth, a midfielder who donned the goalie gloves after Thomas failed to appear fro the second half due to injury. However, Hedworth then injured himself and Peter Beardsley took his place between the sticks and Martin converted from the spot to claim the match ball, with the Hammers sealing an 8-1 win. "It's not often that a centre-half gets a hat-trick and that was probably the worst one anybody has ever scored. But it's in the record books!" he said.
CHRIS HOY MAKES HISTORY
Clinching his third gold medal in the sprint at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Chris Hoy became the first Briton in 100 years to win a gold treble in one Games. He had already won the team sprint and the keirin and was later awarded a knighthood as well as winning the Sports Personality of the Year, while the three medals he collected in Beijing added to his 1km time trial gold in Athens four years earlier. Hoy also won silver in the team sprint in 2000 in Sydney.
ROBBIE FOWLER SCORES FASTEST PREMIER LEAGUE HAT-TRICK
The man Liverpool fans called 'God' made a habit of scoring against Arsenal and never was this more evident than when he scored the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history. The Gunners were hit by three goals in four minutes and 33 seconds as Fowler helped Liverpool to a 3-0 victory against Arsenal in 1994.
MAN UNITED WRAP UP SUPERB TREBLE
In May 1999, Man United did what many believed to be impossible when they won the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League in the most dramatic of circumstances. First, United edged Arsenal to their fifth title in seven seasons by a point courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Tottenham, then brushed aside Newcastle 2-0 to lift the FA Cup and came from 1-0 down in injury time against Bayern Munich to secure the Champions League trophy in Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium.
GORDIE HOWE HAT-TRICK
Hat-tricks exist in ice hockey, too, but the fastest team sport in the world also boasts something called a 'Gordie Howe hat-trick'. Named in honour of legendary NHL star Howe, this variation on the theme involves a player scoring a goal, recording an assist and getting into a fight in one game. Howe was famed during his NHL playing days as both a great goal scorer and a fighter, hence this tribute, and he scored two 'Gordie Howe hat-tricks' himself, back in the 1950s. Have a look at New York Rangers forward Brandon Dubinsky bagging himself the honour…
What's your favourite sporting hat-trick?

AIG's Small London Office May Have Lost Big
A small group of traders may have put half a trillion dollars at risk.
ByJAY SHAYLOR, LAUREN PEARLE and TINA BABAROVIC
March 10, 2009 — -- Ground zero for AIG's spectacular implosion, which has soaked up more federal bailout money than any other entity, appears to have been a small London branch office that may have put as much as half a trillion dollars at risk.
The disastrous deals were built up in a decade and, when the crisis hit, the man who ran the unit for the last eight years retired after making $280 million for himself and leaving with a $1 million-a-month consulting contract.
The struggling New York-based insurance giant has avoided collapse with the massive infusion of $160 billion in taxpayer money. The U.S. government has agreed to prop up AIG because it fears that AIG has such extensive financial involvement around the world that its failure would be far more costly.
Britain's serious fraud office and U.S. regulators are combing through the records of AIG's Financial Products Group, formerly located on the fifth floor of an office building in London's Mayfair section.
The unit's small group of traders risked nearly half a trillion dollars to insure U.S. mortgages and other debt using complex financial products called credit default swaps, according to recent congressional testimony.
"AIG financial products was the core, the hottest point of the global financial crisis," freelance investigative reporter Peter Koenig told "Good Morning America" today. "It was the epicenter."
The group's traders "found a crack in the system that was unregulated," Koenig told "GMA."
Joseph Cassano, an American who ran the group for eight years, declined through his lawyer to talk with ABC News. But ABC News obtained a tape of Cassano from August 2007 telling investors just how confident he was.
"It is hard for us with, and without being flippant, to even see a scenario within any kind of realm of reason that would see us losing $1 in any of those transactions," Cassano bragged.
Koenig said Cassano "had total confidence in his judgment. And he put no money against the fact that he might be wrong."
For years, the system worked fine for Cassano and, during his eight-year reign as head of the Financial Products Group, Cassano pocketed $280 million in salary and bonus. But about one year after Cassano boasted that he wasn't worried about losing a single dollar, AIG began bleeding billions.
AIG Says London Unit 'Nearly Brought Down the Company'
"For about a decade it went OK," Koenig said. "And then, when the U.S. housing market fell out instead, they suddenly realized they had to come up with a half a trillion dollars and all they had was a couple of million in the bank."
The collapse became so severe that AIG warned the U.S. Treasury Department last month that if it wasn't given more federal aid, its failure "could potentially bankrupt or bring down the entire system."
AIG admits that Cassano's unit nearly destroyed the insurance giant.
"It was clear that this small unit engaged in trades that nearly brought down the company and it's still sound insurance business," AIG told ABC News in a statement.
AIG said it is in the process of winding down the group.
Cassano, who has homes in London and Connecticut, was forced to retire from AIG on March 31. Critics say despite the fact that the company is hemorrhaging money and being kept alive with taxpayer cash, Cassano has been allowed to keep his windfall.
In addition, according to Cassano's signed retirement agreement obtained by ABC News, he was to be paid $1 million a month by AIG for "consulting services" through the end of last year.
The insurance arm of AIG is believed to be in good shape, but the fallout from AIG's financial products arm is still rippling through the U.S. economy and around the world.
In a 21-page memo marked "strictly confidential" and obtained by ABC News, AIG pleaded for an additional $30 billion in federal aid last month by warning the Treasury Department that the "failure of AIG would cause turmoil in the U.S. economy and global markets and have multiple and potentially catastrophic unforeseen consequences."
Sir Alan Sugar, often referred to as Britain's Donald Trump, told "GMA" that you can't blame London for the AIG problems.
"It may have started here, but it's an American company," Sugar said. "It just happened to be their place where plots were threaded."
Sugar said that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown -- a "good friend of mine," he said -- "secretly blames the American businesses, banks that Europe looks up to."
Sugar described the American fiscal atmosphere before the crisis as "over enthusiasms in business, greed. You maxed out over there, as you say."
"You went mad, financial Disney World, slot machine in Vegas and every time you pulled a lever someone won, and it usually was a bank executive."

Susan Fox Best Books
The Bad Penny
Author Susan Fox has a unique ability to bring out the best in the characters that she creates. In The Bad Penny, author Susan Fox introduces the readers to Ethan Maggie. The readers will be involved with Ethan and Maggie, such that there are instances when the readers will find themselves laughing, crying and even cursing. The book begins as Maggie is released out of prison. The sad part was that Maggie served a sentence, despite the fact that she was innocent. Maggie begins to look for a job with only 50 dollars in her pockets. Her attorney had promised Maggy that she was going to organize for her, a two-week trial on her brother's ranch. It is at this point that author, Susan Fox introduces the readers to Ethan. After getting to know, the reasons why Maggy was incarcerated, Ethan decides to kick her out of the ranch considering the fact that she was involved in cattle rustling.
However, after some time, Ethan decides to bring her back into the ranch. However, despite the fact the fact that Ethan allows Maggy to stay at the ranch, he tells himself that he is never going to trust her, especially because of her past. Maggie, on the other hand, is more than happy to have a second shot at life and a full-time job. Author Susan Fox has done an excellent job of clearly portraying how Maggie came to terms with her release and also the new role that she is presented.
Vows of the Heart
Vows of the Heart is another highly entertaining novel, by author Susan Fox. In Vows of the Heart, author Susan Fox introduces the readers to Veronica. Ever since Veronica was young, she has always been a rebellious teenager, especially after her mother got married to one Hank Chapman. However, when he got to know Veronica, her stepfather realized that Veronica had been loved starved for such a long time. Thus, he decided to give her discipline, guidance, and affection patiently. Cole, Hanks son, was the complete opposite of Veronica. Cole could not tolerate Veronica's presence and many at times Cole did not fail to show her. When her mother finally decided that it was high time to look for a younger man, Ronnie had no option but to go with her mother. However, the bond that Veronica shared with Hank remained intact and ever since then, they maintained their communication.
However, several years later, Hank developed a heart disorder, which in turn prevents him from attending Ronnie's wedding. Nonetheless, a day before the wedding Ronnie and her husband to be are involved in a car accident. While Ronnie's body was damaged pretty bad in the accident, Hank's body decided to give up his. Due to the fact that Ronnie was still in the hospital, she had no idea that Hank had passed away. Thus, she made a promise to herself when she gets out of the hospital; she will do all she can to ensure that she goes and sees him. Immediately Ronnie left Rehab; she left to Wyoming. Upon arrival, Ronnie learned that Hank had succumbed. Being the father to her 7-year old son and running the ranch are just some of the responsibilities that Cole is more than determined to take up. Despite the fact that Cole and Ronnie have had bitter arguments in the past, one being the fact that Ronnie had led to his most prized stallion escaping Cole still decides to overlook them.
Ever since the incidence, Ronnie informed Cole that she had latched the gate. Once the two met, Cole realized that Ronnie needed a place to rest for a while and thus, he suggested that she can stay in his residence for quite some time. Due to the fact that the ranch does not have a permanent cook, Cole and his friends struggle with the cooking and many at times are forced to cook in turns. When Ronnie makes it open that she loves to cook, Cole decides to offer her the opportunity, until he can find someone permanent for the job. As Cole eventually comes to realize that, maybe his previous harsh judgments might have been wrong. With that said, Vows of the Heart is Susan Fox's debut novel. Apart from being an emotionally intense love story, Vows of the Heart features Susan Fox's signature writing style; tragic heroines who are normally cruelly misjudged by the various heroes in the novels.
Despite the fact that Ronnie is an extremely strong woman, she is still physically and emotionally wounded from her husband abandonment and her accident. Cole, on the other hand, is a man who has so many facets. Despite the fact that Cole did not truly understand Hank's fondness for Ronnie, he still came into terms that Ronnie had a place in his father's heart. When he comes to discover, the seriousness of Ronnie's pain with her very past and also the fact that he played a key role in what she went through. With that said, Vows of the Heart is a deep and intense novel, that will definitely take the readers on an emotional rollercoaster. All the main characters in Vows of the Heart, have their share of grief and to move forward, they have to work through their differences and overcome the past.

The latest report from mobile analytics outfit App Annie shows that when it comes to average revenue per user (ARPU), Japan is leading the way -- and by quite some margin.
After analyzing the top 30 iPhone games by revenue in Japan, China, the U.S., South Korea, and the UK, App Annie found that the average ARPU of the Japanese top 30 for Q2 2016 was double that of the other four countries.
Notably, 22 of those 30 games fell into the RPG category, while the gacha mechanic -- which sees users drop cash for the chance to win a rare item or collectable -- was also a prominent feature among Japan's top earners.
Thanks to an upturn in smartphone penetration, coupled with the performance of MMORPGs based on established franchises, China's monthly APRU has also soared, increasing tenfold since Q2, 2014.
Growth in the U.S. hasn't been quite as spectacular, but it's worth noting that strategy and RPG titles are pulling in the highest average ARPU's in the States.
Overall, all five regions have seen an positive shift in APRU since Q2 2014, which, according to App Annie, shows that "games with high APRU are becoming more prominent among the top-revenue generators."
"High APRU is not necessarily a prerequisite for success. As casual game hits have shown, even games with relatively low ARPU can become high-grossing titles," adds the analytics group.
"However, this does not detract from the metric's importance. Any publisher whose game monetizes through the app stores should keep a close eye on their ARPU, and that of their competitors."

Tokyo, Japan, 7 November 2018 -- Fr. Ángel Fernández Artime, SDB, the Rector Major and his secretary Fr. Horacio Lopez arrived safely at Haneda Tokyo airport late at night on the 7th Nov. The Visit of the Rector Major to Japan is the first time in six years since that of the former Rector Major, Fr. Pascual Chávez Villanueva, SDB in 2012. This time Fr. Ángel is going to stay in Japan for 6 days.
At the airport, 45 people including Fr. Provincial Jacob Hamaguchi, SDB, Bishop Mario Yamanouchi, SDB (Saitama Diocese), the members of the Salesian Family in Japan, and the young people enthusiastically welcomed the Rector Major with the special joy. Receiving the bouquets from the young, the Rector Major said hello and gave us big smiles despite of the long trip.
From the next day, the Rector Major will visit Miyazaki (Salesian School and House of Caritas Sisters of Jesus), where the first Salesians in Japan (lead by Fr. Vincenzo Cimatti, SDB) started to work, Tokyo (Chofu Salesian Seminary, Kodaira Salesian Boy's Home, and Akabane FMA School, etc.) and Yokohama (Salesian School).
The Rector Major will meet the Salesians, the members of the Salesian Family, and of course the youths and school students in every place, and have the time for exchanges and sharings with the heart of Don Bosco, the Father, Teacher, and Friend of the Youth.
Welcome to Japan, Don Ángel!

Cool Cultural Coventry
Why Coventry really is cool and cultural
I am an honorary Coventrian, writes Jeanette Parkin. Born and raised in Warwickshire, Coventry was – and still is – my local city.
But, after a stint as a journalist at the Coventry Evening Telegraph, Coventry became more to me than a teenage retreat for shopping centres and parks. It became a community: a place of art, music, theatre, social gatherings, charitable kindness, and a unity of spirit only seen when a place has been on its knees.
On its knees it has been. Designed to cripple the industrial heart of Coventry, Luftwaffe bombs pummelled the city in 1940. They claimed more than 500 lives along with much of the historic centre, including the cathedral. Then, in the 1970s, the motor industry – once so booming that Coventry was dubbed the 'Motor City' – crumbled. Remember those haunting notes of 1981 hit 'Ghost Town'? Coventry's own two-tone pioneers, The Specials, felt the heavy influence of home in their song about urban decay and unemployment.
The phoenix city
But Coventry's adoption of the phoenix symbol is no coincidence. The city has aligned itself with the phoenix for many years, rising, as it did, out of the ashes of the Blitz. It feels appropriate then that the former CET building, my old workplace, has joined the cultural vanguard in Coventry.
Those heavy glass doors are open once again, hosting a pop-up art space and museum that makes use of every historic inch, from the decadent wood-panelled boardroom to the grimy control panels down in the building's underbelly, where the evening's papers once whizzed out. (Get there soon, development of a boutique hotel is due to start in August 2018.)
So, when Coventry bagged its spot as the UK City of Culture 2021, I was not surprised.
Plans for the UK City of Culture
Coventry has everything you need for a short break: museums, parks, art galleries, cathedrals and great restaurants. But culture, actually, is what sets Coventry apart.
Plans for 2021 include a 2.2-mile Ring Road poem and the entire works of William Shakespeare in a variety of city locations. The Bard probably visited the important medieval city of Coventry from his nearby home in Stratford-upon-Avon. He probably came with his playing company. He probably saw the incredible tapestry that still hangs in St Mary's Guildhall. Like so much about our local lad, we just don't know.
But, until 2021, where should you go to get your cultural kicks in Coventry?
Theatre: Art deco to shop front shows
The central Belgrade Theatre and Warwick Arts Centre, located nearby at Coventry's University of Warwick, are the cultural big hitters, attracting audiences to plays, musicals, comedy gigs, and – at the latter – cinema.
A former college lecture theatre (and just a short walk from the city centre), the art-deco styling and intimate feel of the Albany Theatre make it a local favourite.
Coventry's theatrical trump card is the Shop Front Theatre. Housed behind the glass frontage of a former fish and chip shop in City Arcade, the innovative folk at Theatre Absolute are hosting the UK's first Shop Front Theatre Festival in March 2018.
Music: Two-tone and festivals
Together, The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum and the Coventry Transport Museum present a fascinating look at Coventry. Both are fantastic for families and both are free to enter.
Coventry's creative endeavours also stretch to the wrist. Visit the Coventry Watch Museum (free admission) on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
There's also an arts space called The Box, within the fabulously creative quarter known as FarGo Village – a place that helped Coventry to clinch the City of Culture title. It wasn't so many years ago that visitors would be advised to steer clear of Far Gosford Street (I confess to joining the reckless and partying at the still-brilliant Scholars nightclub). The advice to stay away is seriously outdated, because this historic thoroughfare is now the hippest hangout in Coventry. Artists and crafty types sit alongside barbers and craft-beer types, and you can buy anything from handmade soap to vintage scooters.
Historic attractions: Double cathedrals and a 14th-century monastery
If Coventry's architectural mishmash of old and new is its signature style, then the double cathedrals are its statement piece. The roofless ruins of the 14th-century cathedral neighbours the modernist cathedral opened in 1962. Together they make a stunning space, whatever your faith. It's worth paying to enter the newer cathedral (£6) and climbing the tower (additional £4). Check what's on before you visit.
Other historic attractions include the Priory Visitor Centre, built on the site of the first of Coventry's three cathedrals, and Charterhouse, which includes remains of a 14th-century monastery. It recently hosted a family play, adapted from a David Walliams book, so look out for other exciting events.
Destination information
Where to eat in Coventry
Finney's Coffee Co, the cafe at the Belgrade Theatre, and the cathedral's Rising Café are top spots for coffee and cake.
For traditional pub grub, try the Golden Cross or the Town Wall Tavern – a Bond Street hostelry and former journalist hangout.
Close to the cathedral, Playwrights is a good choice for lunch or dinner. Other evening picks include My Dhabba (Lower Holyhead Road), Turmeric Gold (Spon Street), Selminas (Spon Street), Habibi (Far Gosford Street) and Cosy Club, centrally located in Broadgate.
Where to stay in Coventry
Budget: The Premier Inn City Centre (Belgrade Plaza) is modern, comfortable, and within steps of the city centre.
Mid-range: The Ramada Coventry offers smart bedrooms and suites within minutes of the ring road.
Luxury: Coombe Abbey oozes historic elegance in a gorgeous parkland setting; you'll need a car to visit the city centre.

In general, steps in SolveXia can be split between data steps and actions steps.
Data steps can be understood as the place that stores files or any other relevant data (such as user-inputted dates or checkboxes) that will be used/processed in the process. These steps will be the subject of this article.
More specifically, each file or relevant data is stored in a "data step property". A "data step" can contain multiple "data step properties".
Actions steps actually process these files by a wide variety of instructions made available in SolveXia. For more information, please refer to Adding an action step (basics).
Firstly, you'll need to create a data step. This can be done by right-clicking on a group at the orange/yellow design pane at the bottom of the window and clicking on "Add data step". (Ensure that Design Mode is ON).
Click on your newly-created data step property to select it.
The "Property details" box will contain all the relevant information for this property, where you can change basic features such as its "Name" and "Available values", depending on the property type.
The settings here will also depend on the type of "data step property" you have created.
In general, you can indicate whether this is to be a mandatory input for users in Subscriber View, where it will appear in the Subscriber View form or whether it will appear as an output in Subscriber View for the end-user to download when the process has finished running etc.
Checkboxes can be used in processes as a way for the end-user in Subsciber View to answer a simple Yes/No question.
Note that this data step property can be used in conjunction with an "Update cell value" instruction, as it will appear as a Boolean (TRUE or FALSE) in Excel.
This can then be used in conjunction with a "Decision control step" to control process flow depending on user input.
Note: that for the end-user to see this in Subscriber View, you will need to set the "Subscriber View" field to "Input".
Lists are drop-down lists that allow the end-user in Subscriber View to select from a range of choices as an input.
Similarly, the "Decimal" data step property allows the user to input a decimal number.
The "File upload/download" property is a powerful tool for a user (both designer and subscriber) to upload/download a file to/from the process.
However, usually the Username and CurrentDateTime variables are the most common options to use. For example, this could be useful if your process involves logging all users who use the process and when they use the process.
Similar to the "Decimal" property, this property allows the user to input a number to the process.
The "Text block" property is usually used as a way to enter a message in the Subscriber View form to guide the user.
The "Text box" property allows the user to input text as an input to the process.
The "Rectangle" property can be used purely for aesthetic design in Subscriber View, for example to section off specific parts of the Subscriber View form.
The "Line" property can be used purely for aesthetic design in Subscriber View, for example to section off specific parts of the Subscriber View form.
It is recommended that all data steps be located in Group 1 of your process for understandability and ease of navigation. This is so that the all relevant files or other data step properties can easily be found in the one location (group).
Further to this, it also recommended to group data steps in general by "Inputs", "Template Files", "Working Files" and "Outputs", where each step will contain all the corresponding files.
However, this will greatly depend on the purpose and design of your process. So please treat this as general recommendations for quality of process design.

Adventuring outdoors during each of the four seasons has its pros and cons, but there's something special about fall.
Spring's nice, but variable weather and the drab brown color everything outdoors seems to be until summer his isn't particularly exciting.
Summer's oppressive heat and humidity makes being outdoors a lot less fun at times, and don't even get me started about mosquitoes.
In autumn, Mother Nature shows off in a big way with stunning colors, apple cider is back in season, and winter is up next! There's so much I love about fall, but in particular, these things make it my favorite season for hiking.
If you're anything like me, you'll swear completely off of anything liquid that doesn't come out of a refrigerator or have ice in it all summer. Iced coffee comes with me to work every day, Gatorade powder comes with me on all of my hikes, and I almost forget things like soup exist. It's just too unbearable to think about consuming something hot when I'm sweating!
In fall, we get to welcome back belly-warming favorites like hot cocoa, hot cider, hot coffee, soup, chili, and all sorts of other delicious things that just taste better when it's cooler out. I'll grab my favorite Stanley Vacuum Mug, fill it with my hot drink of choice, and pull it out of my pack on day hikes to stay hydrated and warm.
Summer hiking in Pennsylvania means dealing with some serious heat, trying not to melt in the humidity, and avoiding mosquito bites as best one can when the little buggers are everywhere. I also inevitably get sunburned no matter how much sunscreen I put on! Spring brings temperate weather too, but often, rain isn't far behind, and around where I live, it looks a lot like summer minus the hot weather. Winter hiking is a blast if you're a fan of cold weather, plan properly, and have the right gear. I enjoy hiking in snow, but sometimes it can be tough to find other hiking buddies that don't mind temperatures below freezing.
But fall? Wandering the woods in pants and short sleeves during the day, layering up with a comfy jacket and soft, fluffy beanie night...it just doesn't get any better than that.
The season brings new challenges on the trail.
Summer hiking generally seems...easier. You don't have to pack or think about layers, weather can be relatively predictable depending on where you are, and if it rains, getting wet when it's 90ºF out sounds pretty great. True, you have to worry about things like dehydration, thunderstorms, and all the silly mosquitoes, but in the fall, things get a little more challenging.
Temperature regulation with different types of clothing becomes important. Everyone's layering system can be a bit different; autumn is your chance to perfect yours. Learning how to use foods and liquids to stay fueled and help with temperature regulation is also fun to try during cooler months. Making sure you're back from a day hike before it's dark is tougher with fewer hours in the day. Overall, I love the challenges autumn brings, but it's even more important to plan and be prepared.
Truth be told, it can be a great thing when enough people are interested in exploring trails that you're forced to share sometimes. Connecting with the outdoors helps build advocacy, right? But there's something wonderful about how once summer is over and temperatures start to drop, the woods seem to get less crowded.
I've e found popular hikes to be busy no matter the season, depending on the weather, but generally, we share trails with fewer people in autumn. And enjoying fall's bright red, yellow, and orange colors in a little bit of solitude is amazing.
Autumn colors are just beautiful.
Many species of deciduous trees drop their leaves to avoid, among other things, losing moisture to harsh winds and tissue damage the leaves would face if they kept growing in winter weather. To prepare for winter, the chlorophyll in the leaves breaks down and gives way to the stunning red, yellow, and orange hues we all know and love.
Whether you're an expert photographer, a complete newbie, or somewhere in between, coming back from an adventure with beautiful photos is always a plus. Luckily, it's pretty tough to take a bad picture in the fall, depending on where you are.
All of the photos in this piece were taken with my iPhone 5S, but I grabbed an Olympus Tough last year in order to start taking better pictures without adding too much weight to my pack. Between that and my favorite desktop applications, Paint.net for amateur photography editing, I've been able to capture some pretty memorable shots without a lot of work Thanks, Mother Nature! If you're not into photography, you can always just sit back, enjoy the beauty of fall, and use your mind's eye to take pictures!
There are so many reasons why adventuring is awesome in the fall. What are your favorite things to do to welcome the season? What are your favorite fall hikes?


Help needed, can not find bearings to fit table no where!!
Topic: Help needed, can not find bearings to fit table no where!!
Re: Help needed, can not find bearings to fit table no where!!
1. Find the same table on craigslist.
3. Boom! You now have replacement parts for life.
On a serious note, those types of tables are so poorly made that the cost of buying and shipping replacement parts probably makes it cheaper to just buy a new (used) one. I'm not joking about people giving them away. They move or just have no use for it and typically want it gone.


Seems like, if three player tombstones are enough to summon skellies, three monster corpses should be enough, too. I'm currently at 56 necro, and I only use skellie warriors with a few armor mods to put them above 600. Archers, I might pull out if I am going back to the crypt or mushrooms, but they're just too fragile. Mages? Never. If I could summon them back from three monster corpses, I'd be a bit more likely to switch it up.
When can we expect to see changes to the quest list menu? It's a pain in the neck to sort through my giant list of quests to untrack an updated quest. I'd like to see an icon next to tracked quests to make them easier to find on the list. Also, the ability to turn quest auto-tracking off or being able to untrack a quest from the small five quest UI tracker would be convenient.

Travel Diary: Antonio Thompson Explores Cape Verde Off the Beaten Path
The artist and photographer booked a one-way ticket to his homeland to reconnect with his father and the Cape Verdean people.
In OkayAfrica's latest Travel Diary, we meet Cape Verdean-American photographer and artist Antonio Thompson as he reconnects with his homeland for the first time—and his father for the first time in over a decade.
Curiosity inspired my inaugural solo journey to Cape Verde, my father's homeland that I've long wanted to discover. Determined to master Kriolu, the native language comprised of traditional Portuguese and West African dialects, I purchased a one-way ticket, planning only to "get lost" here for a few months. Since arriving here, it's been a colorful, fun, disorienting, and rewarding experience—for a few reasons.
Over 13 years passed since I last saw my father, who moved from the United States to retire in a town just outside of Mindelo, Cape Verde's second-largest city. Because I also didn't grow up with him, I felt a sudden urge to connect and build a relationship while life still afforded us the chance. In the spirit of #adulting and healing, I'm glad I made that decision.
In addition, I saw this as an opportunity to devote time to my passion: discovering, capturing, and documenting families and children in a fairly unknown region. Whenever I mentioned Cape Verde to some of my New York City friends and neighbors, "Where is that?" was the most common reply. That's not without reason: I grew up in Boston, home of the largest Cape Verdean expatriate community. Outside of the New England region, its culture is arguably little known.
Lastly, and in the same vein, I wanted to unearth and shed light on the places here that are tucked away and off the beaten path. I've found that working class neighborhoods and streets unexplored by tourists are where one will come across the best food, music, parties, and conversations. With the few phrases I learned in Kriolu, I knew conversing with the local residents in-depth would be a challenge. But I was up for it, and I think I've done pretty well up to this point.
Here are highlights of my adventure so far, with views from the different islands, and images and stories of families and people I've met here in Mindelo.
On São Vicente island, many of the residents point to Monte Cara (Face Mountain) because it resembles the side profile of a face. Here, it's viewed as the island's pride and joy, and considered a grand symbol of Mother Nature's artistry.
The island of Santo Antão is considered a favorite for hiking and nature photography enthusiasts. This is the tiny town of Fontainhas, where colorful homes are constructed atop leveled mountain ridges in a hidden valley. Located about a 1-hour hike from the beach town of Ponta do Sol, it is considered one of the most picturesque villages in the world.
I found the mountains and hills of Santiago island to be my favorite. This is the view from Achada Ponciana, a small village that lies just outside of Serra Malagueta National Park. Here, you can see the tiny hamlet of Casa Choca in the foreground, and the town of Tarrafal to the far north.
When I arrived in Mindelo, I knew that one of the first neighborhoods to visit was Monte Sossego, a part of town that's off-the-tourist-path. It's the neighborhood that I've since spent the most amount of time in, and for good reason: the people, vibes and spirit here are kind, light-hearted, and welcoming. This image is from my very first trek here, and captures what I've often encountered: children immersed in the games they are playing, who suddenly stop and strike a pose when they spot my camera.
In Campinho, another neighborhood in the city, I came across a family sitting in front of their home. They declined to be photographed, but pointed to the youngest girl in the group and told me I could take her picture because "she loves the camera!"
While walking the steep hills of the Pedra Rolada neighborhood just before sunset, I photographed this young boy who hit me with a post-futbol game thumbs-up.
Strolling for souvenirs, I met Didi, a 40-year-old merchant who makes and sells bracelets on Laginha beach. Born and raised in Salamansa, a small town in the northeast region of São Vicente, he spent his youth and early adulthood as a fisherman. Making the transition into an artist 10 years ago is something he expresses profound gratitude for, and gives praise to "Jah and Jah's love, always."
Here in Monte Sossego, I met Neusa, who runs a tiny eatery attached to her home. After I indulged in a hearty plate of fried pastries, she introduced me to her sons Djeison and Gerson, her "pride and joy." I shot this image of the family having a moment together. When she expressed how much she loved it, I came back a few days later with a 5" x 7" print as a gift—easily one of my best moments here so far.
In the Pont D'Agua neighborhood, I came across an artist studio where I met Hermes, a painter and jewelry maker. He was working on a chain, and crawling next to him was his energetic 10-month-old Carlos. I imagine it's difficult feeding and tending to an infant while working on jewelry, but here he was, making it look easy and fun.
I've observed a particularly strong connection amongst fathers and their young children here. There is often a palpable 'daddy's little boy/daddy's little girl' vibe that is a wonderful sight to witness so often. In Monte Sossego, I met Elton, embracing his son Kelton. When I asked him to describe the best part of being a father, he replied, simply, "he is the love of my life. That is the best part."
This is Juliana—the mother of Elton and grandmother of Kelton, and, from what I witnessed, Superwoman. Just prior to posing for the camera, she was simultaneously looking over a boiling pot, folding shirts fresh off the clothesline, and sweeping debris from in front of their home. This seamless ability to be the multitasking backbone of a household is a skill I've seen in many women here. But to her, it's no big deal. She is simply "a loving woman who looks after my family."
I met Kethienne and her 2-year-old son Zion on the beach. When I asked why she named him Zion, she revealed that the circumstances around her pregnancy were similar to that in Lauryn Hill's iconic "To Zion"—young, ambitious woman suddenly faced with an unexpected pregnancy. She's dreamt of being a doctor for as long as she can remember. I took this photo a few days before she embarked on a journey to bring that lifelong dream to fruition: studying medicine in Cuba. Though it's a hard sacrifice being away from her son, she understands it will set an example for him to grow up and do the same for himself. "I never regret choosing to keep him because he is the joy of my world, I love him so much, and I hope he grows up to be proud of me."

#JusticeForGiovani, Cape Verde Demands Answers in the 'Barbaric' Death of 21-Year-Old Student In Portugal
Luis Giovani dos Santos Rodrigues, a Cape Verdean student living in Portugal, died on New Year's Eve after succumbing to injuries from an attack ten days earlier, which many believe was racially motivated.
Cape Verdeans are demanding answers in the "barbaric killing" of 21-year-old student and musician Luis Giovani dos Santos Rodrigues in Portugal last month.
According to various Portuguese reports, Rodrigues was allegedly attacked by a group of men while leaving a party at a local bar on December 21. According to the Portuguese newspaper Contacto, witnesses say a group of about 15 men approached Rodrigues and two of his friends armed with belts, sticks and other weapons. The report goes on to say that Rodrigues was beaten and left unconscious with bruises to his head. He spent 10 days in the hospital before succumbing to his injuries on December 31.
Fabolous in "Choosy"
Davido, Fabolous & Jeremih Connect For 'Choosy'
Watch the music video for their new single, shot in Cape Verde.
Fabolous drops his latest single and music video for "Choosy," a new song that sees him linking up with Nigerian star Davido and Jeremih.
The new track, which was produced by Hitmaka and Swiff D, is built on light guitars and afrobeats-inspired beatwork. which brings to mind past hits like "Unforgettable" and "2AM."
Jeremih kicks off "Choosy" and handles chorus duties, while Fabolous pops in-and-out with his verses. Davido comes in around the 3-minute mark of the video to deliver a romance-filled verse that interpolates his much-played opening line from "If."

May is the prelude to summer in our home. With three birthdays to celebrate within two weeks, I find myself always planning something once May hits. Every year my family and I head to the beach for a huge Birthday bash on Memorial Day weekend to celebrate two of our sons and my husband. It's been a tradition for almost six years and we're ready to hit the beach again soon.
We love summer months because we get to travel and spend together with the whole family. The birthday beach bash is how we ring in the summer. We try to stay close to home during Memorial Day weekend because of traffic, so heading to our local state park is perfect.
My husband is always ready to hop on the grill at the park because he gets to use wood and charcoal. It's his favorite thing to do. He makes his own special semi-homemade sauce for ribs and wings. The kids enjoy grabbing a hotdog or hamburger and running around in all the open grass.
When we're stocking up on summer essentials we love shopping at Target. We use our Red Debit Card and save an extra 5% on purchases in addition to using other store coupons when we can. We were just shopping at Target to stock up on Coca-Cola™ for our upcoming celebration. We also found tons of fun summer decor that's perfect for your deck or patio. We even looked at some of the grills in store. I saw some cute patio couches that I want for our balcony.
Did you know that Share A Coke is back this summer with over 1,000 new Share A Coke names, and this year they've added Last Names as well? I searched for the common name of our family 'Steve', but couldn't find them on the display. You can also find them in the soda/juice aisle and in the beverage coolers in the checkout lines of the store.
Who would you 'Share an Ice Cold Coke' with? I'm planing to share with my family and friends. When you purchase Coca-Cola from Target be sure to check out this amazing Cartwheel offer to save 20% off a bottle. Add the offer now because the sale runs until June 17th, 2017.
I've been looking for ways to incorporate Coca-Cola into more of our celebrations. It's my favorite carbonated beverage of all time and I'm always looking for ways to share it with my family. Since we're planning a beach BBQ, I decided on creating a sauce to rival my husband's secret sauce. He likes making a sweet sauce, so I wanted to make something that was smokey and spicy for the adults.
While shopping at Target I found some chicken breasts and wings on sale so I decided to test a few recipes with our family before next weekend. Both are easy to throw on the grill and I knew the sauce could be used for multiples dishes. I ended up making Smokey & Spicy Coca-Cola BBQ Wings and Smokey & Spicy Coca-Cola BBQ Grilled Chicken Breasts.
Both these recipes are super easy to make, and they are easy to throw on the grill and cook for a crowd of people. I used my sauce on both the breasts and the wings and created two different options for us to enjoy with the one sauce.
Combine ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat and allow to simmer for 6-8 minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Transfer to a glass storage jar or serving container and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with your favorite BBQ including pulled pork, chicken, or ribs. Makes 2 cups.
To make the wing lightly season with salt and pepper then drizzle with olive oil and place on the grill. Turn the wings every couple of minutes and baste with the bbq sauce with each turn. Cook for about 25 to thirty minutes based on the grill, or until the juices run clear. Use as much or as little sauce to suit your taste. Serve warm.
Slice the chicken breast into thin slices lightly season, use some of the sauce to marinate the chicken breasts for about five minutes before placing on the grill. Since the breast slices are thin keep an eye on them while on the grill. You can baste with additional sauce while cooking.
Serve the chicken breasts warm. You can make sandwiches with them, serve on top of a salad or alone with sides. Enjoy with an ice cold Coca-Cola. Looking for more summer inspirations? Visit Target's website to learn more.

It's the 1st of December and that only means one thing! Hello, Blogmas 2018!! I thought I'd start Blogmas off by welcoming you and letting you know what is to come in the next month. So, Welcome to Blogmas 2018!
There is a little debate surrounding Blogmas on what that actually means 25 or 31 days of blogging. I've opted for 31 days because I'm crazy. So, expect a new post everyday day at hopefully 5pm (don't hold me to 5pm though). But, there will be a post every day! With a successful Blogtober under my belt I'm feeling ready for the challenge. Those who know me think I'm crazy as not only do I have two university deadlines, a Dissertation and placement to complete I thought why not just complete Blogmas? If I'm doing that I may as well try Brookemas too! That's right new videos every day through December on my YouTube too.
You can find all my Blogmas posts this year under the tab Blogmas 2018 on the categories section of my blog.
Last year I failed at Blogmas and have learnt from that experience. So, this year I've decided to mix the context between Christmas themed, Winter themed and personal posts. Just to keep it interesting and fun especially as December will be a busy month and I want to share some of the exciting things I get up to with you all!
I would like to improve my photography this year too as I found by uploading everyday I got a bit lazy and wasn't proud in the end of the photos I was posting. This year I'm going to take my time and really try upping my photography game, so watch this space!
This may be a pretty obvious point but the main goal is to complete Blogmas 2018 but more than just that. I'd like to complete it with style and grace! I want to be proud of every single post I make and I mean every single one. None of this last minute writing a bogus post on how I think doughnuts are like the blogging community (one of my Blogtober posts!). Girl needs to organise herself and be on it.
I even bought myself a new day by day diary so I can write lists to my hearts content to keep on top. As organisation is the key to Blogmas!
If you're wanting a little giggle or something to pass the next 24 hours until my next post is up then check out last year's Blogmas Posts. Hopefully, this years posts will be a lot better content, writing and photography. As progression is what it's all about for me. If you want to keep up with me throughout December then make sure you are following me on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for more Christmas content!

Experts Unearth 11 Bodies In Kosovo Mass Grave
Forensic experts have unearthed a mass grave in the eastern Kosovo town of Gnjilane containing 11 bodies including four children, the European Union mission (EULEX) said in a statement on Tuesday.
The victims are believed to be ethnic Albanians killed in the early days of a two year counter-insurgency war that began in 1998, a police source told Reuters. At the time of the killings the area was controlled by the Yugoslav army.
In 1999 NATO launched a bombing campaign against rump Yugoslavia to halt the killing of civilians in the 1998-99 conflict in Kosovo, that was a Serbian province at the time.
An estimated 8,000 to 12,000 civilians were killed in the conflict, the great majority Albanians. Over 800,000 Albanians fled or were driven from the country at one point.
Kosovo's Albanian majority declared independence in 2008, but some 120,000 Serbs, backed by Serbia, refuse to deal with Pristina institutions and consider Belgrade their capital.

Not sure if you're ready for a big walking holiday? Try these day-long one way walks in Cumbria!
I spend a lot of time writing up walks and the overwhelming demand is for circular walks, particularly those which start and end at a pub! One way walks are less convenient and require more planning – either somewhere to stay at the other end, public transport or car juggling – but for me, there is definitely a joy to be had in finishing my walk someplace far away from where I started it, so here are my five favourite one way walks.
Access: There are regular train & bus services between the two towns.
This is an absolutely glorious walk along the only cliffs in Cumbria, with loads to see along the way. If you're doing this walk, allow time at each end to explore the two towns too. In St Bees there's the legend of St Bega to discover, and in Whitehaven (pictured) there are numerous museums, most of which have excellent cafes. There are magnificent views across to the Isle of Man from the clifftops, with regular RSPB viewing points and information boards along the way. During the nesting season the cliffs are home to thousands of seabirds, and out to sea there are regular sightings of seals and porpoises, so have your zoom lens ready!
Access: The iconic 555 bus connects the two towns.
I'm not going to lie to you; this is a long old hike, so you'll need to be properly prepared, but the views are fabulous. It's definitely a walk of three halves (!) – the hike out of Grasmere up to Harrop Tarn, the woods and bogs from there to Watendlath and the spectacular descent and stroll into Keswick. For me, Harrop Tarn was a lovely surprise; obviously I knew it was there, but I didn't know it was so pretty. The views on the descent are some of the best known in the Lake District, passing Surprise View (pictured) and Ashness Bridge before following the lake into Keswick, where you can put your feet up with a well earned pie and a pint.
Access: There's a regular bus and train service between the two villages – double check the times though, as not all of the trains stop at Silverdale.
Whichever way around you do this walk, there is good food at the end – the RSPB cafe at Leighton Moss (Silverdale) is renowned for its excellent cakes, and Arnside has a couple of great pubs plus a chippy to look forward to. The walk itself is low level and gentle, winding through ancient woodlands where you should look out for the cherry trees, which were once described as being the finest in the land. There are also great views of Arnside Tower (pictured), the remains of an old pele tower dating back to the 15th century, and gorgeous views along the river estuary at Arnside and, if you time your visit right, you may be lucky enough to see the Arnside Bore.
Access: There are regular buses along the A66.
Specifically, this is a walk from the end of (pictured) Bassenthwaite Lake (OK, the Lakes Distillery if I'm being brutally honest, but the cakes there are excellent!) up and over Watch Hill and down into Cockermouth. The route begins along very quiet country lanes, then veers off up through Setmurthy Woods, which are unusual for being full of beech trees, a comparatively rare tree in Cumbria. As you emerge from the woods at the top of the hill (it's a very gentle climb) look south for glorious views of the Lake District fells. Cockermouth itself is a real hidden gem of a town with loads of interesting history, great shops and Jennings Brewery – what's not to love?
Access: This one will require car juggling.
Although this walk starts in Lancashire, it finishes in Cumbria so I'm including it; plus it's a lovely riverside ramble. From Arkholme, the Lune Valley path is clearly marked along the river and is simple to follow all the way up to Kirkby Lonsdale. It's a very gentle and pleasant walk, with lots of the usual riverside flora and fauna to spot along the way. There's also loads of interesting local history, as the Lune Valley has been a natural communications corridor for many centuries. Kirkby Lonsdale is well known for Devils Bridge (pictured) and Ruskin's View, but take time to explore the rest of the town as there are plenty of interesting old buildings and memorials to discover.


The University of Maine at Presque Isle has once again been named a National Weather Service StormReady campus after receiving a three-year renewal of its federal designation. In 2008 when it was first named a StormReady campus, UMPI became the second campus in New England, after Harvard University, and the 21st campus in the nation to receive this designation.
In order to secure the renewal, University security and safety staff had to successfully demonstrate that they have taken important steps to ensure that the campus is prepared when severe weather strikes.
StormReady, established in 1999, is a nationwide program that helps communities better protect their citizens during severe weather – from tornadoes to tsunamis to winter storms. Program "communities" can include cities, towns, universities, Indian Nations, and government and private entities. The program helps arm such communities with the planning, communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property before and during storm events. It also helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety and awareness programs.
• Develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which included training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises.
With its renewal, the University continues to maintain a formal hazardous weather plan and sophisticated warning system. The University also continues its close working relationship with the National Weather Service office in Caribou and provides the office with real-time severe weather reports relayed by staff.
"Planning for hazardous weather is a never ending job; however, it is very reassuring to know that you and your staff are part of the National Weather Service's effort to save lives and reduce the impacts from the many types of dangerous weather that occur in our area. We are honored and thankful to serve with you in this effort," Okulski stated.
University officials are pleased to have the StormReady renewal in place and to continue the University's collaborations with the National Weather Service.

Q: Do you know whether Mac app store approve the application using CGSPrivate.h? I'm just curious about it.
I'm developing the Mac application using CGSPrivate.h header.
I heard that CGSPrivate has hidden APIs and Apple doesn't accept the application using private APIs.
However, in my thinking, CGSPrivate.h is not private because it can use APIs in Cocoa Framework.
Give me exact answer.

A: Public APIs are those documented and supported by Apple. So no, "CGSPrivate.h" does not contain public APIs and you cannot use it in apps destined for the App Store.
If you choose to distribute your app outside of the App Store, you can use private APIs but risk breaking in new versions of Mac OS X.

A: CGSPrivate is apart of a Private framework, so your app will be rejected, you have heard correctly.
Just because a private framework interacts with a public framework does not mean that Apple will allow developers to use it and distribute that app in the Mac App Store, however, you are welcome to distribute it by other means, but there is a chance that your app will break down the road.

Oscar, at eighteen months old, is a force to be reckoned with.
He babbles intently; he loves to perform; he feels things passionately. He most definitely does not consider himself to be a baby in any way.
While he can be a little rough with his brother (or the cat; poor Sealface), when you ask him to share he is so quick to do it, just as he is quick to dole out hugs and affection. He loves trying on shoes, absconding with his brother's scooter, and screeching.
He has two very slightly chipped front teeth and the broadest shoulders I've ever seen on a toddler, so he's looking a little like a miniature rugby player these days.
We love him so much, along with everything he adds to our family. And here is a look back at Axel at the same age.

The most beautiful time of the year has finally arrived and the trees and flowers are celebrating this sensuous season! Here are some glorious picture books that will have you running outdoors to explore. All books are good for all ages.
Happy Spring, Chirp!, by Satoshi Iriyama, is an adorable little book geared for toddlers about a little duck named Chirp who is bringing flowers to his aunt. Along the way, he encounters many friends and items that he brings along with him. The cardstock pages make the pages sturdy and there are flaps, pop-ups and cut-outs. Be sure to check out the end pages featuring all of his new found friends. There's also another new book in the same format by the same author, "Good Night, Chirp!".
Paddington in the Garden, by Michael Bond, and illustrated with the trademark drawings by R. W. Alley, is a newly repackaged edition with Paddington still causing problems even though his intentions are good. What begins to look like his garden will end in a catastrophe and becomes much more than anyone could imagine.
Such a Little Mouse, by Alice Schertle, and beautifully illustrated by Stephanie Yue, showcases a cute little mouse as he enjoys each season beginning with spring. When he "pops his head out of the hole" where he lives, he witnesses the glorious new surroundings each season brings. The pencil and ink drawings are rich with color and bring the seasons to life.
Blown Away, by Rob Biddulph, takes some cold-weather animals and blows them to a completely different environment. The story begins with "A windy day. / A brand-new kite. / For Penguin Blue / a maiden flight." The wind picks up and Penguin Blue's kite picks up three more penguins, a seal and a polar bear. There is a stark contrast from the colder climate with icy blues to lush greens when they land in the jungle. With the help of the native animals, they are able to get back home. The story is told in a simple rhythmic pattern and the vivid illustrations are a delight.
Zig and the Magic Umbrella, by Sylvie Kantorovitz, is illustrated with such bold vivacity that the drawings take on the appearance of bright finger paints that seem to jump off the page. Upon opening the end pages, you see that it is raining. And through the rain, Zig, who is a blue lonely creature, comes upon a bright red umbrella. As it drifts into his path, he grabs it and an adventure ensues. He floats in the air until he comes upon a tiny yellow bird that soon flies off. He follows by using the umbrella as a boat so he can cross the water. He ends up using this umbrella in many ways and what he encounters will have youngsters reading this again and again. The combination of collage and acrylic is brilliant. And, be sure to check out the end pages.
In Mary's Garden, by Tina and Carson Kugler, was illustrated and written in honor of a little-known contemporary American artist. The Kugler's grew up in the Midwest and wanted to pay tribute to Mary Nohl who lived by Lake Michigan. At Mary's home, she created non-traditional art that was found throughout her yard. The visual impact led to many people driving for miles in order to see these creations. The Kruger's used watercolor and combined digital painting, collage and vintage papers.
Finding Spring, by Carin Berger, finds a small cub, Maurice, looking for his first spring. It begins with late fall and as winter approaches Mama tells Maurice they must sleep first. When Maurice wakes early, he heads out to explore and locate spring. He believes the snow he found is part of spring and brings it back to their cave to hibernate. But it melts. When he does finally see spring, it is all around him! There are visual clues along the way for the reader to participate in locating spring. Berger has magnificently created the illustrations with collages that seem to take on a three-dimensional appearance.
When the Wind Blows, by Linda Booth Sweeney, and brightly painted with full-page spreads by Jana Christy, feels like a breath of wind inside each page! There is a steady rhythm as you turn each page because the momentum of the storm builds and builds. The imagery supports the visual storm with words like "swish" and "clang". And as with most storms, this one ends with rain. But the family that has been outside enjoying this windy day, also ends up inside cuddling nice and cozy in their beds. This book begs to be read-out-loud – especially at bedtime. And the color throughout is beautiful and fills the pages. This book is a winner!
Blue on Blue, by Dianne White, and painted by Beth Krommes, begins with ephemeral hues of one day: "Cotton clouds. / Morning light. / Blue on blue. / White on white." Then high in the sky, above this family's farm, the "Clouds swell. / Winds blow bolder. Weather changes. / Air grows colder." Rain falls as the family gathers inside. You can almost hear the pounding of the rain on the window pain as the family gathers in the kitchen. Then it stops as fast as it began and family members and animals all enjoy the outside once again. The watercolor is uniquely used with a scratchboard making for an old fashion appearance.
Here in the Garden, by Briony Stewart, is a sweet remembrance of someone a small boy misses as he enjoys the spring weather in his yard. Each phrase begins with the beauty of the earth and ends with "I wish that you were here." Throughout the book, you don't know who he is missing until the end. It's his small pet bunny. And the end enlightens us that he will never forget his dear pet.

CHR to DOJ: Don't forget thousands of drug war deaths waiting for justice
Jodesz Gavilan
JUSTICE. Photos of drug war victims are displayed during a mass.
File photo by Angie de Silva/Rappler
The Commission on Human Rights reiterates its call to be given access to case files of drug war-related killings
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on Wednesday, October 20, reminded the Duterte government not to ignore the thousands of victims killed under the violent war on drugs, as the Department of Justice (DOJ) released information about cases it is investigating.
While the commission welcomed the matrix that featured 50 drug war-related deaths, CHR spokesperson Jacqueline de Guia said that ensuring justice for all victims of "widespread and systematic" human rights violations is a "primary state obligation."
"While we see movement, CHR continues to urge the government to remain mindful of the remaining thousands of alleged EJK cases waiting for resolution and justice," she said in a statement.
The DOJ on Wednesday made public a matrix featuring information on 50 cases of deaths in police anti-drug operations, which showed findings of abuses and lapses in protocol, among others.
These investigated cases, however, are but a small part of the total number of deaths under President Rodrigo Duterte's violent war on drugs. Official government data shows there were 6,191 deaths in police anti-drug operations alone as of September 31.
This count does not include victims of vigilante-style killings, which human rights group estimate to reach 27,000 to 30,000.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the small number of cases out of thousands "hardly indicate compliance with transparency and accountability."
"If anything, this only raises the question as to what happened with all the other cases, whether those were investigated or are being investigated, and whether the government is willing to be transparent about them," HRW senior Philippine researcher Carlos Conde said.
PNP kept drug war abuses internal, imposed light penalties – DOJ matrix
Give access to CHR
The release of the matrix is the latest in a long-running, back-and-forth between local and international human right groups – including United Nations rights chief Michelle Bachelet – and the government.
The full reports remained as "confidential memo" to Duterte, the main person behind the violent campaign.
CHR said it hoped that the matrix would be helpful to stakeholders, especially victims' families, as they grapple with ways to seek justice for their loved ones.
The commission also hoped that it would "encourage witnesses to come out" and help investigations, which mostly arrive at dead ends due to uncooperative police officers, lack of documents, and climate of fear. (READ: In Duterte's drug war, justice is 'nearly impossible')
"CHR stresses that the first step towards making perpetrators accountable for their offenses is through genuine and straightforward investigations," De Guia said.
There is still no assurance, however, if the DOJ and the PNP would finally open their case folders and the full reports to the CHR. The government has stonewalled on this data even though CHR is mandated by the 1987 Philippine Constitution to investigate state abuses.
CHR, however, said that it remained committed in helping seek resolution and improve the situation in the country.
"CHR remains open, willing, and ready to assist through our independent probe, provided that we are given access to pertinent case files as well," De Guia said.
UN righs chief Bachelet in October 7 called on the government to include CHR, which has been kept out of the loop for so long, in its reviews "to ensure an effective and victim-centered process."
Bachelet's office previously released a scathing report in 2020 which said that Duterte's war on drugs was carried out without due process and that the local system wasn't enough to exact accountability over the killings.
The International Criminal Court's pre-trial chamber recently green-lit an investigation into Duterte's violent campaign. The chamber said that killings "took place in pursuant to or in furtherance of a state policy." – Rappler.com
