I'm pretty new to this backpacking lark. With less than a week to go now, I'm finding myself speaking to lots of people who've "been there, done that" in the hope that I can learn from their mistakes. It's very nice of them to have taken the fall, and I appreciate them learning the hard way so I don't have to.
Anyway, here are the three questions I find myself asking more and more.
1. Where the bloody hell do I start with packing?
Don't get me wrong, I've travelled with a backpack before, but that was only for a few weeks and I pretty much took my entire wardrobe with me. Amazingly, no matter how short my shorts were and how thin my scoop neck t-shirts were, I still felt like I was lugging a fully grown human around on my back.
Now it's a bit of a different story. As I'm travelling indefinitely, I want to obviously pack light whilst still having enough clothes to not smell like a complete hobo every few days. The main problem isn't a lack of choice, it's the fact that I can't bring myself to decide what I want to take! Add to that the fact that I have to think in terms of practicality as well as style (no snarky "style" comments please…), and I've got a serious struggle on my hands.
I'm currently making my way through this, slowly.
I'm hearing that this is already too much, in which case I think I'm actually going to have a breakdown.
2. How much should I plan?
I don't do planning. I don't like sticking to rigid plans. I only bought a backpack last week for god's sake. I'm extremely laid back and more than happy to just go with the flow and be spontaneous.
However, it recently dawned on me that it might be wise to have some sort of plan as I'm jetting off to the other side of the world with a one way ticket. Just an idea anyway.
Thankfully, I'm going to Australia for my step-brother Mike's wedding with the family, which kind of forces my hand in terms of plans. In other words, my mum's sorted out flights and a stopover in Singapore, time in Sydney and finally Coff's Harbour for the wedding. After the wedding, I've decided to head to Surfer's Paradise for a bit with my other step-brother, Chris.
When Chris leaves, I'm back to having no plans. I barely know anything about Australia so haven't planned anything else. Here's hoping I can wing it!
3. How easy is it to get work?
I'm under no illusions, I know the length of my stay is probably dependant on whether I get work or not. I've saved some money, enough to last me quite a while, but the more I hear about Australia the more paranoid I get about running out of cash.
Also, did I mention that I'm a little office boy who doesn't like getting his hands dirty? A snob, some may say, so the idea of fruit picking in a field doesn't necessarily jump out as a great option. Ah well, needs must.
Are you a seasoned backpacker? How do you like to pack, plan and work?
You've just got to eliminate as much as you can.. Trust me, when I travelled around Europe for 2 months there wasn't a single thing I wish I had that I wasn't able to buy. Just bring the least amount of clothes you think you will need, minus some.
Just a heads up, my mates who have gone to Oz to work spontaneously have all got manual labour type jobs as after 2 months of getting nowhere and running out of money paying for hostels, food etc (Oz apparently has a really high cost of living) they have just had to take anything they can get to be able to stay.
By day, a lot of them are like, crate-packers, factory workers, carnival workers, fruit pickers and then by night they're barmen, waiters, merchandise sellers etc. You need 2 part time jobs to make enough, so i'm told.
My line manager was a tomato picker too for 5 month and lived in a hostel with her co-workers. According to her, you only make so much money each week to either spend or save, but not enough to do both.
If you're thinking of working, you should look in to BUNAC, they specialise in finding work for Brits in Oz, NZ, USA, Canada etc and do a lot of the work in terms of VISA's and stuff. Plus they send out groups so you can have penniless friends with you, at least.
Yeah, the whole manual labour thing was a bit of a joke (although as you know, I am a complete snob). I'm fully expecting to get my hands dirty and take whatever I can to get by whilst I'm in Oz! Will be sure to look into the BUNAC thing, sounds good!
I guess a lot depends on how long I stay I Oz too, as my plans are so loose I've no idea where I'll be in six months or so!
Are you still planning to travel?
Haha, you really are winging it aren't you. Fair play. Whatever you do it'll be an experience i suppose. If you've got your TEFL thing that could come in handy in Malaysia or Indonesia i guess?
Yeah, I do, it's just a case of when. I want to travel without needing to work really, so gonna have a few more months of saving up and maybe re-assess the situation later in the year and hopefully start planning when i've got like 10k saved. Reckon i could do a lot of it comfortably for that.
Yeah, aiming to finish off some online TEFL stuff too before I go, no rush eh?
Haha yeah, my hands are a little tied with the wedding so I had to go out now no matter what. Maybe don't have as much cash as I'd like but just glad o be going now!
Haha that quote will stay with me forever!
Yeah, I know I'm going to have to work and it was a little tongue in cheek talking about fruit picking really. Realistically, I'll do anything within reason! Cheers for the advice though, it's good to know there are people out there doing alright!
How's the teaching course going?
Haha good! It's the quote that runs my life nowadays.
Aye you'll be fine, if my mates can find work out there (met them after uni, no degree, A levels etc) then you should get snapped up.
The teaching course is going well mate, despite not having paid work (as I'm not qualified obviously), but aside from that, yeah it's actually going good thanks. Feels weird teaching people A level English, especially when more than half the class know quite a bit more than me lol but it all goes with experience I suppose ha.

Schulich Leader Scholarships Awarded to Four Queen's Students
Four incoming Queen's students are receiving one of Canada's largest and most prestigious STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) scholarships.
Launched in 2012, Schulich Leader Scholarships is a $100 million program that funds 50 undergraduate scholarships across top Canadian universities annually. Scholarships of $80,000 or $100,000 will be awarded to the following recipients beginning their studies at Queen's this fall:
Sonal Gupta (Kingston, Ont.): Ms. Gupta is a leader within her school. She has acted as a peer mentor and played for the Kingston Impact Basketball's Junior Elite League of Ontario's (JUEL) preparatory team. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree.
Sophia Ludovice (Bedford, N.S.): Ms. Ludovice plans to pursue a degree in chemical engineering. She received many accolades throughout her school years, including being awarded the Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor's Award.
Peter Matthews (Petrolia, Ont.): Mr. Matthews won the Chemical Institute of Canada Award for his project on the effect of various solvents on the rate of electrolysis. He plans to study engineering.
Angela Choi (Fredericton, N.B.): Ms. Choi is a pianist who has a strong passion for volunteering and the sciences. In her community, she helped at a local nursing home, school clubs, peer tutoring, and various fundraising events. Ms. Choi will be studying sciences at Queen's.
"Queen's is grateful to the Schulich Foundation for providing opportunities to so many future leaders in engineering and technology," says Ann Tierney, Vice-Provost and Dean of Student Affairs. "We are proud of all of the Queen's Schulich Leaders, and honoured these four incoming students have chosen to continue their path of achievement at Queen's. We warmly welcome them to campus and the university community."
To date, 22 Queen's students have been recognized as Schulich Leaders; there are now 17 current Leaders at Queen's, with five having graduated. The program was created by one of Canada's foremost philanthropists, Seymour Schulich, and funds 50 scholarships across Canada and 50 across Israel each year. Mr. Schulich has donated more than $350 million to many educational and health-related causes.
"Schulich LeaderScholarships are the largest STEM scholarships in Canada. With 50 outstanding students selected each year from across Canada, this group represents the best and brightest Canada has to offer," says Mr. Schulich. "These students will make great contributions to society, both on a national and global scale. With their university expenses covered, they can focus their time on their studies, research projects, extracurricular, and entrepreneurial ventures. They are the next generation of technology innovators."
This is not the first time Mr. Schulich's philanthropy has benefitted Queen's. In 2016, Principal Daniel Woolf and Mr. Schulich donated books from their personal collections to create the Schulich-Woolf Rare Book Collection. Mr. Schulich wants to build one of Canada's top English rare book collections, so he donated additional funds to acquire new books. Recently a 1493 coloured Nuremberg Chronicle was added to the collection. In 2017, one of the world's oldest printed English-language books, a 1482 copy of Polychronicon, was purchased.

The number of people in the United States with at least one tattoo is estimated at 45 million. Indeed, the tattoo industry continues to thrive. At the same time, body art tattoo removal has become an increasing phenomenon. The reasons for this can be both personal and/or aesthetic.
Although the reasons for tattoo removal vary, a growing number of our clients are seeking tattoo adjustment and removal procedures in order to create a new design.
Luckily, new techniques make adjustment procedures easier and, consequently, more attractive than ever.
Body art designers and permanent cosmetic makeup professionals acclaim the Tatt2away® Tattoo Removal System as the most innovative natural tattoo-removal and re-design technology available today. Its patented tattoo-removal technology uses the natural ingredient TEPRSOL®, which removes all color pigments and ink.
First, the skin is lightly abraded in a patented pattern to reduce scarring.
Rather than using ink, your technician then introduces a patented solution called TEPRSOL®.
TEPRSOL® relies on the body's natural healing response to reject the ink from the body in the form of a scab; it actually removes the ink from the body.
Tatt2Away® treatments are designed to remove the tattoo in a series of visits for maximum results. Therefore the number of treatments depends on the size complexity, and location of the design. An average size tattoo (4 inches by 4 inches), may need 4 or 5 visits. we will determine the number of visits during the initial consultation.
Discomfort from the procedure is comparable to that of a tattoo application. Treatment sessions last about 20-30 minutes. Time between treatment sessions is usually about six to eight weeks.
We are a certified Tatt2away® tattoo removal center.
At your consultation, we will evaluate and discuss your tattoo removal needs, options, and benefits of tattoo removal procedures.
Lasers are commonly used to remove most black and brown tattoos. However, these treatments are traditionally very expensive, painful, and can cause blistering. Also, due to the laser's inability to break down lighter colors or colors that are very similar to the patient's skin tone, this method cannot treat certain ink colors. Moreover, lasers are not advisable for dark skin tones. In addition, older tattoos are harder to remove. Another important factor to consider is that ink placed in the deep layers of the skin is not reachable by conventional laser.
Perhaps most noteworthy, the time investment for laser removal (8 to 12 visits) can be more than double the time needed for saline treatments. Consequently, laser treatments tend to be more costly (depending on the size of the tattoo area the provider will treat per visit). Finally, most lasers ultimately do not remove all pigment or ink tattoo colors. Consequently, more and more people are turning to Saline treatments for tattoo removal or adjustments.
Scheduled locations: By Appointment only Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 10 am to 7pm, Saturday 10 am to 7 pm.
Every other Sunday 11 am to 4 pm.


1. Lie down on a mat with your knees bent and a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Push the dumbbells up toward the ceiling so that your arms are directly over your shoulders and your palms are facing your feet.
3. Lower your arms and repeat the movement.
When doing the dumbbell chest press exercise, keep your spine in a neutral position and breathe out as you push the dumbbells up, being careful not to lock your elbows.
The dumbbell chest press strengthens your shoulders, triceps, and chest muscles and it also helps to tone your upper body, improves your posture and prevents injuries. When doing an upper body workout it's very important to work not only your arms and shoulders but also your back and chest.
Start with 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions and pair the dumbbell chest press with back exercises like the bent over row or the dumbbell wide row to keep your upper body sculpted, proportional and to improve muscle tone and strength.


Carol's Lesson: A framework for regenerative work designs typically consists of five criteria.
Everyone in the organization is connected, directly, to real customers and consumers to be able to initiate endeavors for their customer's benefit, including evolve their business/lives.
Work is tied to overarching strategy of the business and what the business is moving toward, to make it non-displaceable in its marketplace. Everyone is working on current projects, while designing and evolving what the work is becoming.
Works to develop innate human capabilities that are rarely part of what business and organizational work systems consider themselves responsible for.
Work requires people to pursue a better working society, particularly democracy, with how people are developed and engaged to think and work.
People are responsible in their work to consider how to evolve potential for wealth and well-being (viability, evolution of contribution) for all stakeholders to the business (buyers and users, co-creators, including supplies and employees, Earth, communities, and investors). Not just complete tasks and make customers happy.
Holacracy has four structures used to organize work that explain how work is designed.
Circles connect workers to one another without interference from outside supervision, based on defined work that existed before the change. These are individuals who form circles as change is called for and disband when achieved. One persona can be in many circles and be engaged in various coordination events as has been pointed out by many examination holacracy. They organize around functions and divide roles, sometimes voting on who has which accountability.
A Cabal, is a goal-oriented group that forms organically. Any individual can initiate a cabal that people can join because they want to be part of it. This is similar to a project team when a new exciting offer is on order, People can join if it calls to them. "They vote with their feet" is the rallying cry. It has the flavor of what WR Gore used but for Gore there is a well-defined strategy and very clear markets defined for focus.
Roles are spread across the circle organization. People may play multiple roles since they can be in several circles. And change roles as the need arises.
Rather than supervisors and managers, The Regenerative Business proposes using three nested teams (a core team, market field teams organized around customers or markets, and operating or function teams for carrying out the work). This approach allows individuals to not just be on the team, but to be fully invested in delivering the work of the strategy and the teams.
The Core Team reflects the organization as whole (all functions, levels etc.).
Strategic thinking based on their job, and ensure the non-displaceability of the business.
In Market Field Teams everyone is a part of one, by choice, and they have been responsible for particular markets with a set of customers or consumers.
Think about how the strategy applies to that market node (not segment since it is based on shared values, not demographic segmentation).
Track the industry or lives of their market, and develop new innovations for their market.
Operating or function teams work as a whole to develops initiatives for the customer or stakeholder to gain support.
Some pursuits are years long and require additional education or resources from the organization.
Holacracy is based on the metaphor that an organization is a computer operating system i.e. (software development) with applications added on to manage new needs.
The Regenerative system is based on living systems which build capability to work organically for the good of the entire system, including the industry, Earth, and society.
No clear definition of how to design for customer's lives.
Holacracy focuses on taking authority away rather than progressing the business.
Strategy is done by a special strategy group and carried out as individuals in holacracy versus the embedding of strategy as everyone's work in the Market Field Teams in a Regenerative Business.

I hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday. I am so excited about this week. We have officially met the 2 month mark so you know what that means its time to go full speed ahead and put everything you've got into it.
This week I am really focusing on my strength and fitness level. I will be attending classes every day for the rest of this week since I took yesterday and Sunday off. Does anybody else crave working out when they've missed a few days? I know for sure that I do! Tomorrow I will attend a kettle bell class, on Thursday I will attend circuits on Friday I will attend stretch and core. On Saturday I am hoping to attend an other circuit class but I might be going to Dublin for the Mayo match so I will miss class but if I do I will workout at home or go for a run. I still haven't started my ab and squat challenge again so I want to start them again too as well as the push up challenge. Does anyone else find push ups incredibly hard? I do, so this week I really want to build up my strength on them too.
So guys there you have it my 'Fit & Fabulous Series | Week 8!' I am so glad you are enjoying the series so far and delighted that you are contacting me asking for advice and sending me requests. I was so happy to hear from you and happy to help you out in any way I can!

Q: cover of $\mathbb{R^n}$ Given a subset $B\subset \mathbb{R^n}$, we've said in our classes that you can
write down $\mathbb{R^n}=\cup_{j\in  \mathbb{N}}Q_j$ with $\lambda_n(Q_j)=1$ for all $j$. I understand the first part. But why can I write down $\lambda_n(Q_j)=1$? Is it only possible with 1 or is it possible in general with any constant $c$?  ($\lambda_n$ is the Lebesgue measure of $\mathbb{R^n}$)

A: For example for $n=1$ you can consider $Q_i=[-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{i+1}{2},\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1+i}{2}]$ that has Lebesgue measure $1$ and these sets cover $\mathbb{R}$
For every $c>0$ you can consider
$Q_i=[-\frac{c}{2}+\frac{i+1}{2},\frac{c}{2}+\frac{1+i}{2}]$

A: For example let $n=2$ and for $k,m \in \mathbb Z$ let $Q_{k,m}:=[k,k+1] \times [m,m+1].$. The set $M:=\{Q_{k,m}:k,m \in \mathbb Z \}$ is countable, hence $M=\{Q_1,Q_2,...\}, \lambda_2(Q_j)=1$ and $\mathbb{R^2}=\cup_{j\in  \mathbb{N}}Q_j.$

One day to go before I take on the 25KM Thames Path Challenge walk and I am really looking forward to it.
It is walking from Putney to Hampton Court, I am raising money for Help for heroes and my mum is walking in honour to raise money for The British Heart Foundation.
See Fundraising details on my Home page.
1. Never jump before you can walk. Start adding more walking into your daily lifestyle, so if you don't live that far from work for example then walk it. Just set up a map on your phone or carry a little map with you.
2. Work your way up. Build up to walking 5KM, to 10KM, to a half marathon and then onto the bigger challenges, even if you have already booked a walking challenge, work up to the event, by taking on those distances first mentioned above to help you prepare for the event.
3.What ever shoes you have used, apart from stilettos, not advised, for walking and are comfortable to wear then wear them for a walking challenge. That's unless they have become worn, then change them but remember to practice walking long distances in them, slowly working your up to the bigger distances. Not advised to do a 5KM on first day worn.
4. Prepare for all weathers. Living in the UK it is hard to tell even checking the weather forecast before hand how the weather is going to be. Prepare for all. Take a waterproof jacket or a fleece, sunscreen, winter event then remember thermals and avoid any clothing that can cause chafing. You will be walking so your body temperature will increase, so you may not need full coverage whilst walking but once the event is completed you will need to prepare for when your body cools down.
5. Book an event that you have plenty of time to prepare and train for. There is no point booking a 10KM walk for next week, when you find it hard to walk 10 minutes down to the shop and back. So book an event you know you can spare the time to train for, and do a training schedule. Download this templates I have prepared below for you or use it as an example and guide to create your own.
The first schedule I have created using an existing word document, is for one month at a time, which is a great way to break down the training.
The Second is a schedule for when you have a month, a few weeks and days to go.
6. Set up a training folder on your computer and in physical form, so you have all the details of the event you are taking part in and your training schedule. Great way of keeping everything together and to take with you for the day of the event.
7. Check your emails or mail, as the charity or event you book to do will send you information leading up to the challenge, right up to the week or days before. It is important you know if you have to register before the event and at what time. They will also give you details of when the event will start and from where.
8. As well as a schedule keep a training journal for each training and walking session you do, great way to keep track of your progress, how you coped in different weathers and if you have any fears.
9. Technique: Back straight, never slouched and let you feet and legs take control, so your mind can wonder, and your eyes can keep track of where to go.
10. Prepare for Travel issues. If you have to travel to the event, plan your route ahead on how you will get there and if there are disruptions on the roads or transport.
My own image: My gear ready for the 25KM Walk.
I have been sticking to my new Diet change see my blog I wrote on my Monday Check in Page. I wrote about giving up normal milk and having Hot water and honey at the start of each morning and my herbals teas, and I have been sticking with that. I am lovely #fennelteabags which are the Twinings brand. They have no caffeine in them at all, and I think I am going to have to avoid any caffeine drinks altogether.
I did try to have a black Earl Grey Teabag that contained Caffeine and got a stomach ache again. As soon as I drink hot water and honey or my herbal teas, or decaffeinated tea or coffee with Soya milk I feel fine.
When training for an event the same as diet changing, you do have to listen to your body.
So I am ready to take the challenge on and start my weekend with a buzz.
Have a good weekend everyone and see next week.

Home / World News / When it's time to downsize, do it with confidence
When it's time to downsize, do it with confidence
Downsizing is meant to simplify day-to-day life, but it can be an overwhelming and emotionally taxing process.
Seniors Own Real Estate Managing Director Mike Graebner offered some advice for older Australians who are weighing the pros and cons of downsizing.
He said there was no correct age to downsize, rather it was a personal decision to make based on a number of factors.
However, Mr Graebner said a couple of questions should be asked before making the decision to downsize.
"If I move now, will I be able to enjoy the benefits?," he said.
"By waiting, I am getting older, so will it be too late if I delay too much?"
Looking at the benefits, Mr Graebner said there was much to enjoy if one committed to downsizing.
A few of these examples included freeing up capital from the sale of an existing home, social contact amongst peer groups instead of isolation and a fit-for-purpose house designed for improved mobility.
Dempsey Real Estate Director Mal Dempsey added to the chorus of enthusiasm and said options were becoming more available for downsizers who did not wish to stray too far from their neighbourhood.
"Downsizers are now spoilt for choice with many new complexes coming onto the market," he said.
"Infill projects are coming out of the ground in many suburbs, allowing the downsizer the ability to stay in an area they are familiar with."
Once someone has been swayed to carry out a plan to downsize, there are a few practical tips to make it a less stressful time.
"Make a list of things you need to do and take it one step at a time," Mr Graebner said.
"Small bite-sized chunks are less daunting than rushing it.
"Enlist a family member, if available, or use the services of a specialist to advise, assist and prepare your home, and have a checklist of things you need to do when moving house."
Even if the practical side of the move is going well, the emotional demands can still prove to be a challenge.
"Be certain why you are moving," Mr Graebner said. "It's good to write the reasons down and refer to it if things seem a bit difficult."
Mr Graebner said it would be important during this time to talk to family and friends who were supportive and to be satisfied you had done your homework
If you are intending to downsize to a retirement village, he said it would be a good idea to visit and talk to people already living in the retirement village that has caught your attention.
"Ask to be included in activities in the village while you are preparing to move in," Mr Graebner said, adding that often after making the choice to downsize, people had wished they did it sooner.
"Don't procrastinate. Most people I visit after they have moved into a retirement village would say, 'I should have done this sooner' or 'I don't know why I waited to so long'."

Tests. Quizzes. Essays. These are words that cram into a student's planner with accompanying due dates. The frantic stress of getting assignments completed on time causes those sleepless nights and often zombie-like stares of students. While trying to maintain a busy schedule of academics and other extracurriculars, there are some students who even manage a job.
While some students engage in more customer-service oriented jobs, others participate in assistory occupations.
Others prefer an environment similar to school, where they have the opportunity to interact with children through learning.
While students gain knowledge through attending school, they gain real-life skills by attending their jobs.
Some occupations even allow students to become exposed to financial knowledge, which is often seldom discussed in classrooms.
Other lessons students have learned is creating a better sense of leadership and responsibility.
However, having a job while being a full-time student can be difficult to coordinate on a schedule filled with extracurriculars.
Despite the tight scheduling having a job may impose, these students are grateful for the lessons their job has taught them.
For Dixon and Gadodia their occupation does not reflect their future aspirations, but gives itself to be a tangible outlet to demonstrate their skills and interests.
Yet for Aldhahir, this job is a physical envision of what she plans her future to be.
Through their jobs, they have gotten the opportunity to meet new people outside of school.
Most importantly, their job has led to a creation of life-long memories and treasured encounters.

TOP 10 LARGEST NAVIES IN THE WORLD 2020
By S. Olawale January 7, 2020 World 0 Comments
Top 10 Largest Navies In The World 2020 – Navy is the branch of the armed service of a state which conducts military operations on the sea. This is further elaborated as maritime force is the division of a nation's armed forces primarily saddled with the responsibility for naval and amphibious warfare; such as lake-borne war, riverine war, littoral war, or ocean-borne war and its related functions. It includes anything conducted by surface ships, amphibious ships, submarines, and seaborne aviation, as well as ancillary support, communications, training, and other fields. Ever wondered which countries have the largest navies in the world?
The navy defends by frustrating the seaborne foreseen attack from or by the enemies. The navies' task also may include prevention by the use of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Also, the navy attacks are the deployment of force into areas that surpass the countries' shores or borders (i.e. to ferry troops, protect sea-lanes, or attack other navies, ports, or shore installations).
The operation of Navy can be divided largely between riverine and littoral applications (brown-water navy), open-ocean applications (blue-water navy), and something in between (green-water navy), although these differences are more about strategic scope than tactical or operational division.
North Korea Navy
1. North Korea Navy
With 967 ships, North Korea comes in at the number one spot. Included in the grand figure of 967 vessels are 10 Frigates, two corvettes, 86 submarines, 438 patrol vessels, and 25 mine-warfare ships.
North Korea's gunboats (included in the 438 patrol vessels) are the most active arm of the North Korean Navy, having been involved in several naval engagements with South Korean, and even Chinese forces.
86 submarines owned by North Korea means that they have one of the largest numbers of Submarines in the world, although the U.S Pentagon, in 2015 estimated that figure to be 70. Still, 70 submarines are a fearsome number by any standard!
In late 2017, U.S Navy authorities said that they have noticed " highly unusual and unprecedented levels" of activity within the Submarine division of the North Korean Navy. Apparently, they have evidence which points to North Korea arming their Submarines with missile-launch capabilities.
North Korea showed its strength in 2010, when they fired a torpedo from a submarine, sinking a South Korean Navy ship, and killing 46 sailors in the process.
China Naval Force
2. Chinese Navy
The Republic of China, a country that has the fastest rise in the ranking of technological, mechanics, and engineering advanced countries. The naval force of China is called "The People's Liberation Army Navy". Now, it is currently ranked second among countries with the largest naval force in the world with a total of 762 vessels (although that figure includes 250 auxiliaries). The People's Liberation Army Navy has 255,000 sailors on its payroll, making it one of the most robust Navies in the World.
The Chinese Navy is made up of 5 branches: the Submarine Force, the Surface force, the Coastal Defense Force, the marine corps forces, and the naval air force.
A breakdown of the Chinese Naval fleet is as follows: 1 aircraft carrier (currently stationed of the coast of the Korean Peninsula) 6 amphibious transport docks, 32 landing ship tanks, 31 landing ship medium, 33 destroyers, 50 frigates, 41 corvettes, 109 missile boats, 94 submarine chasers, 17 gunboats, 29 mine countermeasure boats, 75 submarines, 12 replenishment ships, and 232 auxiliaries.
The Chinese Navy also has an air division, in which there is 26 thousand naval air-force personnel (already counted in the grand figure of 255,000) actively employed.
China has grown to become the premier power in it's regional waters- a reality that has not been accepted by Washington. China has shown its strength by having close encounters with U.S vessels on several occasions within the last couple of years. They project their new power throughout Asia, humbling countries like North Korea and South Korea.
3. United States Navy
This is the country with the third-largest naval force in the world. they have an innumerable number of fleet fighter boats both within and the ones on deployment to assist other countries. The US Navy currently operates 11 large aircraft carriers that are used to project power; these include a single Ford-class carrier and a total of 10 Nimitz and Improved Nimitz class aircraft carriers
Furthermore, America operates 8-9 amphibious fleet which is also known as the "gator navy" and Wasp-class amphibious assault ships. These careful warships craft is all saddled to be able to carry about 1,700-2,000 marines, also, carry their armored vehicles, and deliver them all safely ashore by helicopters, tiltrotors, and hovercraft (amazing isn't it). These warships are larger than most aircraft carriers. In addition to the aforementioned arsenals possessed by the US Navy, there are 11 San Antonio class large amphibious transports that also provide the long-range amphibious capability. there over 180,000 personnel in US marine and in charge of their own naval aviation.
In addition to their ballistic artifacts, there are 22 Ticonderoga class missile cruisers. There is an ongoing construction of 3 extremely advanced and stealthy Zumwalt class destroyers. The earlier destroyers are the world most deadly and giant craft ever built, to add more there are about 64 Arleigh Burke-class general-purpose destroyers that embedded a highly sophisticated system and weaponry, and in total 3 highly sophisticated Sea-wolf class nuclear-powered attack submarines which are operated by the US Navy, there are also a total of 14 active Ohio class boats that house nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, the US Navy is in charge of over 3,700 aircraft. predominantly of these are F/A-18 series multi-role fighters, in addition to other associated aircraft, that are deployed on aircraft carriers.
Iranian Navy
4. Iranian Navy
The Iranian Navy comes in next with 398 ships. Due to years of sanctions and embargoes Iran has not been able to increase its Naval strength as it would have preferred, but not-withstanding Iran remains the premier power in the Persian Gulf.
Out of the grand figure of 398 naval assets, 230 are Patrol vessels. This has been partly due to the fact that Iran has mostly felt threatened, and partly due to the fact that Iran has deliberately concentrated on that part of its Navy in order to impose its presence on the Persian Gulf. Iran also has five Frigates, three corvettes, and 33 submarines, not forgetting 10 mine countermeasure vessels.
Iran has recently added a destroyer and is said to be developing nuclear-powered ships and submarines, and it is unclear how far along Iran is as per the development of Nuclear Arms which can be applied to Naval vessels.
The Iranian Navy is not timid: they have squared up against the U.S Navy on several occasions. The U.S Navy reported that it had dangerous and "unsafe" interactions with the Iranian Navy, 23 times in 2015, and then another 35 times in 2016, and then another 14 times in 2017, which included the detention of 10 U.S sailors who "strayed" into Iranian territorial waters.
5. Russian Navy
Next on our list of the largest navies in the world comes the Naval force of the Russian Federation with 352 ships in their fleet. It is worthy of mention that the Russian Navy has recently been boosted during the presidency of Vladimir Putin.
A rough break down of the Russian Navy's 352 vessels is as follows: One aircraft carrier, nine Frigates, 13 destroyers, 78 Corvettes, 62 Submarines, 41 Petrol vessels (Gunboats), as well as 47 mine counter-measure vessels.
The Russian Navy has also adopted a defense policy which involves the use of long-range precision-guided warheads to provide nonnuclear strategic deterrence – probably as a precursor to using nuclear weapons.
Russia has also invested heavily in building and equipping its submarine forces, and NATO navies have expressed concern about some of the Russian Submarine activities, although it is unclear whether or not those concerns are valid.
6. Egyptian Navy
The Egyptian Navy comes next with 319 ships. They have the distinction of being the largest Navy in the Middle East, as well as the largest Navy in Africa. That is an absolute necessity: Egypt would be exposed on it's Mediterranean Sea coastline, Red Sea coastline, as well as the Suez Canal.
A rough breakdown of the Egyptian Navy's 319 assets is as follows: two Air-craft carriers, nine Frigates, four Corvettes, six Submarines, 53 Patrol vessels (gunboats) and 23 mine warfare vessels.
Egypt's Naval Force has in recent years developed into a two sea dominating force. They have played a greater role in the Mediterranean Sea while proving themselves dominant in the Red Sea. They have paid particular attention to the development of their Submarine arm, which is to play an even greater role in anti-piracy and counter-terrorism operations.
7. Indian Navy
Coming next with 295 ships, India, a formidable force in South Asia. As with many countries around the world, India has expressed concern about China's growing Naval presence, especially as both countries have to share waters due to their close proximity. The two most populous countries in the world have long had quarrelsome relations on the land borders but now, India has watched uneasily as China has increased its presence on the Indian Ocean. As expected, India is responding by growing its Naval Fleet.
India currently has 295 Naval assets, and a rough breakdown is as follows: One aircraft carrier, 14 Frigates, 11 Destroyers (Heavy gunboats, 22 Corvettes, 16 Submarines, 139 Patrol air-crafts, and 4 mine -warfare vessels.
India lost one submarine in 2017 due to human error on the part of the vessel commanders, and that has left serious question marks as to the Indian Navy's technical abilities.
8. Finland
Finland Finds itself on the number 8 spot with 270 ships. Finland finds itself in contact with Russia on account of sharing the Baltic Sea. It is not a good idea to be defenseless when close to an imperialistic superpower like Russia, and so with 270 Naval Assets, Finland has done quite well for themselves defensively.
A rough breakdown of the Finnish Naval fleet is as follows: * Patrol vessels, 18 mine warfare vessels, landing craft, transport ships, and other vessels which include tug boats and cable-layers.
Despite being a close neighbor of Russia, Finland has chosen to take sides with the opposite group which is the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), and although Finland is not a NATO member, it has taken part in some NATO exercises, such as the Crises Management exercise of 2017.
Finland is making efforts to increase its Naval power, they recently bought a supply of high precision weapons from worth 730 million dollars from America, including missiles that can be launched from ships, as well as the ground surface.
The Colombian Navy comes in next at the number 9 position. They have 35,089 active duty personnel, and 235 Naval; assets. Columbia is very much exposed because it has coastlines facing both the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific ocean.
In other to have some level of safety, it is necessary to build an extensive Navy. A breakdown of Colombia's 235 Naval assets is as follows: four Frigates, one Corvette, 11 Submarines, and 55 Patrol crafts.
Colombia also has an extensive network of rivers. They have made progress in policing these rivers by building small boats armed with machine guns.
10. Indonesia
Indonesia is a country made up of a number of islands. That poses quite a problem because protecting and securing 13,500 islands comes with challenges.
The Indonesia Military Naval Force has 74,000 active-duty personnel, and 221 Naval assets and some of those assets include 8 Frigates, 24 Corvettes, three Submarines, 74 patrol vessels, and 12 mine warfare vessels. They also have 55 aircraft, 24 missile boats, and 6 amphibious transport docks.
As expected, patrol vessels make up the bulk of Indonesia's Naval vessels but questions have been raised about their sufficiency, China does not sneak around uninhabited Islands, they move in force over expansive areas of the oceans.

DNA matches body to Alaska man last seen alive in 1979

Dec. 1, 2021 7:50 PM PT
ANCHORAGE, Alaska —
The remains of a man found on Fire Island just west of Anchorage in 1989 have been identified through DNA and genome sequencing, Alaska State Troopers said Wednesday.
Troopers said the victim was Michael Allison Beavers, who owned an excavation business in Chugiak. He was reported missing in 1980.
The decadeslong investigation started when human remains were discovered July 24, 1989. An autopsy concluded it was a Caucasian male between the ages of 35 and 50, and evidence found on the remains indicated the death was criminal, troopers said. Officials said it appeared the remains had been on the beach for at least a year, but the date of death couldn't be determined.
A DNA profile entered into the national missing persons database in 2003 came back with no match.
Earlier this year, the Alaska Bureau of Investigation Cold Case Investigation Unit reopened the case. Bone samples retained in the case were sent to a private lab, where DNA was extracted and genome sequencing was used to create a comprehensive DNA profile.
That was uploaded to a genealogy database and linked to other people, including some with ties to Alaska. Later, a DNA sample taken from a close relative confirmed Beavers' identity.
Beavers' spouse reported him missing two months after he was last seen alive, in November 1979.
Beavers, 40, left his home in Chugiak to travel to Seattle by car to contact a business associate. He never arrived, troopers said.
The investigation into his disappearance stalled and closed in 1982. Ten years later, he was declared dead.
Troopers say the investigation into his death continues, and anyone with information about his disappearance and death should contact authorities.
In October, troopers were able to use the same method to identify Robin Peleky, one of the unidentified victims of Alaska serial killer Robert Hansen who was killed in the early 1980s.
Hansen abducted woman, many of them sex workers, off the streets of Anchorage, and hunted them in the wilderness north of Anchorage. In total, 12 bodies have been found, and 11 of those have been identified, troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel told The Associated Press in October.
The only person not yet identified is known only as Eklutna Annie, who is believed to have been Hansen's first victim, McDaniel said. Her body was found near Eklutna Lake north of Anchorage.
Genetic genealogy efforts are underway in hopes of identifying her, Randy McPherron, an Alaska State Troopers cold case investigator, said in October.

This is a Github Action to allow you to run Container Diff in a
[Github Actions](https://help.github.com/articles/about-github-actions/#about-github-actions)
workflow. The intended use case is to build a Docker container from the repository,
push it to Docker Hub, and then use container-diff to extract metadata for it that
you can use in other workflows (such as deploying to Github pages). In
the example below, we will show you how to build a container, push
to Docker Hub, and then container diff.  Here is the entire workflow:

## Example 1: Run Container Diff

Given an existing container on Docker Hub, we can run container diff
without doing any kind of build.

```
workflow "Run container-diff isolated" {
  on = "push"
  resolves = ["list"]
}

action "Run container-diff" {
  uses = "GoogleContainerTools/container-diff/actions@master"
  args = ["analyze vanessa/salad --type=file --output=/github/workspace/data.json --json"]
}

action "list" {
  needs = ["Run container-diff"]
  uses = "actions/bin/sh@master"
  runs = "ls"
  args = ["/github/workspace"]
}
```

In the above, we run container-diff to output apt and pip packages, history,
and the filesystem for the container "vanessa/salad" that already exists on
Docker Hub. We save the result to a data.json output file. The final step in
the workflow (list) is a courtesy to show that the data.json file is generated.

## Example 2: Build, Deploy, Run Container Diff

This next example is slightly more complicated in that it will run container-diff
after a container is built and deployed from a Dockerfile present in the repository.

```
workflow "Run container-diff after deploy" {
  on = "push"
  resolves = ["Run container-diff"]
}

action "build" {
  uses = "actions/docker/cli@master"
  args = "build -t vanessa/salad ."
}

action "login" {
  uses = "actions/docker/login@master"
  secrets = ["DOCKER_USERNAME", "DOCKER_PASSWORD"]
}

action "push" {
  uses = "actions/docker/cli@master"
  args = "push vanessa/salad"
}

action "Run container-diff" {
  needs = ["build", "login", "push"]
  uses = "GoogleContainerTools/container-diff/actions@master"
  args = ["analyze vanessa/salad --type=file --output=/github/workspace/data.json --json"]
}

action "list" {
  needs = ["Run container-diff"]
  uses = "actions/bin/sh@master"
  runs = "ls"
  args = ["/github/workspace"]
}
```

The intended use case of the above would be to, whenever you update your
container, deploy its metadata to Github pages (or elsewhere).

Reliance Capital to acquire Goldman Sachs asset management business in India
Reliance Capital, a part of the Anil Ambani-led group, on Wednesday said it is acquiring Goldman Sachs Asset Management's onshore business in India like mutual funds and exchange-traded funds for Rs.243 crore ($37.5 million) in an all-cash deal.Goldman Sachs' India onshore arm currently manages 12 mutual fund schemes, including some 10 exchange-traded funds. More than $1 billion worth of assets are under its management in the country, including $335 million of exchange-traded funds of state-run companies.In a joint statement, the two firms said Goldman Sachs' India onshore arm is not only the largest exchange-traded funds provider in India, but also currently the exclusive fund manager of such funds for state-run enterprises."This acquisition is an important first step in our strategy to strengthen our businesses through selective inorganic growth," said Sam Ghosh, executive director of Reliance Capital, adding that the group will leverage both the acquired firms strong bouquet of schemes and talented team."The transaction will add over half a percentage to our market share.

Severe the fate of modern fools, alas!

What Causes Manholes To Explode?
By A. C. Grimes/Feb. 28, 2020 11:36 am EST
In July 1957, a nuclear bomb might have blown a half-ton manhole cover into space. If true, then it technically beat the Russian satellite Sputnik in the space race. Astrophysicist Dr. Robert Brownlee, who worked at New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory, recounted the incident to the Register. Scientists assigned to Operation Plumbbob detonated small nukes hundreds of feet below Earth's surface. A bomb test called Pascal-A proved 50,000 times more powerful than anticipated, and fire burst hundreds of feet into the air from an uncovered 500-foot-deep borehole. So for Pascal-B, they capped a 400-foot borehole with a four-inch-thick lid made of metal and concrete.
The gargantuan manhole cover vanished after rocketing through the heavens in excess of 37 miles (roughly 60 kilometers) per second, or more than five times Earth's escape velocity. Brownlee initially believed the lid vaporized. However, after working on missile launches he concluded that the lid "didn't have time to burn all the way up." Disappointingly, most flying manhole lids aren't nuke-induced space debris. But even when common manholes blow their tops, it seems like a bomb went off.

Business Insider writes that New York City sees an average of six manhole explosions a day, and they are doozies. In 2019, Inman Mussud was escorting his son to school when a manhole explosion lifted their cab off the ground. Mussud said his head crashed against the car roof, as did his son's. The first week of February 2015 saw 600 such explosions. In one of those instances, a 71-year-old man narrowly cheated death when an airborne manhole cover clocked him on the noggin. New York Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Corcoran told the New York Daily News that the lid flew 50 feet into the air after a subterranean explosion and landed a "glancing blow" on the septuagenerian's skull.
So what makes the bowels of the street go boom? According to How Stuff Works, it usually works like this: underground wires become exposed by caustic chemicals gnawing rats, or age-related decay. Business Insider adds that in the winter, corrosion results from rock-salt-saturated water seeping through the ground onto wires. Because these cables carry as much as 13,000 volts of electricity, they can ignite insulation made from paper, lead, and rubber. The flames cause built-up manhole gas to combust, sending lids that weigh 85 to 300 pounds (35 to 136 kilograms) hurtling skyward. Essentially, the street accidentally lights its own farts.


Are you interested in an international career? Join us for this interesting session where you will hear more about working for an International Financial Institution and a specialized United Nations agency such as IFAD (the International Fund for Agricultural Development).
IFAD is an international financial institution and a specialised agency of the United Nations dedicated to eradicating poverty and hunger in rural areas of developing countries.
IFAD is visiting us to inform students about the organisation, what it is like to work for them and how the recruitment process works. On top of this you will have to chance to hear an interesting academic session with the topic IFAD's future financial architecture: adding leverage to increase commitment capacity.

The whole event will be held in English!


The picks and round 1 standings for the year's first major are on the site. We chose 31 golfers. Everybody thinks Jordan Spieth will rebound from his back nine Sunday collapse last year. He is our first unanimous pick of 2017. Thirteen of us think Rory will complete the career Grand Slam. Rickie Fowler got 12 votes. Rahm and the drunken, stumbling, now on some really good drugs, D.J. were picked 9 times each. Phil got the nod 7 times. Justin Rose shows up on 6 teams. Matsuyama and Day are 4-baggers. Casey and the Bubba are treys. Deuces abound: Kisner, Garcia, Leishman, Noren, Westwood and Louie O.
Fourteen unique picks. Hugh, Joe, Randy and Bill have 2 each. Dave, Dan, Jordie, Oliver, Mike D. and Brian G. have one each. The other 6 of us could not find a unique pick among the hills and azaleas.

Godzilla - Cinema Review
'Aaron Taylor-Johnson follows Godzilla around the globe by accident, like Clouseau with less laughs'
Godzilla outperforming Warner Bros. expectations has a negative side for moviegoers beyond the fact that it's likely we're going to have to sit through another one of these films in the near future. Whilst presentationally the films may appear to have few similarities it soon becomes clear what Godzilla actually is: this is a similarly globe-trotting, franchise-friendly version of Pacific Rim. When the numbers for that film came in Warners must have been dreading the performance of Gareth Edwards' monster reboot. For 'exceed expectations' then, read: 'relief'. You can also likely kiss goodbye to Warners fronting up the cash for a monster film with no previous track record again.
There's sadly even more in common with the two films than meets the eye. Like Pacific Rim, Godzilla is a gigantic disappointment. The marketing department have done a good job of presenting this as an intelligent Action film, but beyond two or three well designed set pieces, full of spectacle, there's as little reason to recommend Godzilla as there is Guillermo del Toro's film.
The problems are rooted in the human contingent. Representing the audience is Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), the ultimate man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Following Godzilla around the globe by accident, like Clouseau with less laughs, there's an argument that though ATJ is there to allow us to see everything, he isn't the film's leading man. It's a fairly flippant criticism but try to keep track of how many lines he has. Twenty? Thirty? That might be overly generous.
Certainly it seemed that David Strathairn had more, playing the US Admiral in charge of everything, but even he probably only gets the normal amount assigned to a minimal support turn. If Godzilla is the protagonist then at least Strathairn has some influence over him, more than you can ever say for ATJ, but like Bryan Cranston and particularly Elizabeth Olsen, who really gets nothing to do, Strathairn's level of import and influence is limited. The real problem is not that he and others aren't developed, it is how their character influence unfolds. This was meant to be an intelligent monster movie from the man who made the intelligent Monsters. The best this can come up with? Yet another discussion on whether we should use nukes against the giant alien enemy or not. For that to even be discussed in a film about a beast borne from nuclear power, you've had to go a very long way into 'stupid' indeed.
And that is, unfortunately, what this film turns out to be. It features the same stupid military mistakes you can see from the very first Action films, the same stupid lines like 'I'll come back for you', the same ridiculously large finale which doesn't really have anything to say and so blows everything up instead; not that it doesn't look great whilst doing so.
That Edwards - again, a man who made a monster movie about things - has been given the ultimate monster about something and squandered the opportunity to comment on anything is really a bit of a travesty. The best Godzilla can manage is a handful of nods to discussions about nuclear, hardly the pressing topic of the moment on the world agenda. The terrible beast that once undercut world superpowers to make important points about global events? I am afraid he has been tamed.

How to taste olive oil and get lost in an Iris field? Come to Tuscany and you will see!
We spent one of the most remarkable week with one of the most fabulous group of ladies we've ever met.
Exploring together the real beauty of our Tuscan region, learning stories, tasting delicious products and was very fun.
We spent a day at our treasured olive oil farm, discovering all the secrets about high-quality extra virgin olive oil. We started our day with an interesting tour of the oil mill given by Emanuele, our friend & olive oil expert, who shared with us his deep knowledge about this unbeatable element of Tuscan cuisine and lots of "behind the scenes" olive oil facts, followed by a professionally certified extra virgin olive oil tasting.
Not only we've tasted some of the most highly rated olive oils in Tuscany, we've also learned about the best uses and food pairings that showcase each and every ingredient.
Visiting this farm in Spring time means to get closer to the charming "olive oil world" and having the unique opportunity to get lost in the stunning Iris fields in full bloom!
Indeed, from the mid of April until the beginning of May it is possible to assist to the breathtaking spectacle of liliac iris flower's fields in full bloom. These, also called "Giaggiolo", is the symbol of Florence already from Middle Age. The very delicate fragrance comes from the roots. Most of famous parfumes of the world have contains the iris fragrance. Thanks Emanuele for the experience and thanks to our wonderful ladies for all the joy and the beautiful company.
Certanly, we will see again!
