In Search of Sleep
#creativity #wellbeing
In the search for sleep, insomniac Rebecca Isemonger entered the tank for three sessions at Float Culture. The benefits she discovered, however, were much more than just catching a couple of z's.
There may be a rover on Mars, but scientists still don't know why we sleep. Whether for the purpose of information consolidation, cellular regeneration, or bodily maintenance and renovation, we simply can't avoid the inevitable plunge into unconsciousness that awaits like a miniature death at the end of every day. Or most of us can't, anyway.
But for some people, falling asleep is like grabbing mist. The night doubles and triples in length, every moment contorted and stretched to tearing. Sleep won't come, and any effort to force it's arrival only makes it shy away more. Pressure builds as the reservoir of sleep-time starts to run dry. Six hours left, that's almost enough. Five hours. Four. Three hours to sleep? Might as well get up and start getting ready for work.
For Rebecca Isemonger, insomnia crept in after shift work at a new hospitality job smashed her body-clock with a big old hammer. Deprived of sleep, she became anxious and irritable, her eyes itching and her head filled with fog.
"When you're suffering from insomnia, you can't switch your brain off," she says. "It's a little bit like going to sleep and thinking about every bad life decision you've ever made. Thoughts just loop over and over, and you're thinking 'What if this?' and 'What if that?'"
Isemonger started by removing the obvious things, like Facebook nightcaps and computers in bed.
"So I try not using electronics at night, and it's not really working," she says "I'm trying lots of different things, different methods for relaxation and sleep, breathing exercises and stuff like that, but nothing is working."
Stuck working awkward hours, Isemonger inhabited a different, unhappy and sleepless world. Because sleep deprivation leads to elevated cortisol, the hormone associated with anxiety among other things, the insomniac suffers increased levels of stress, and finds sleep ever more elusive as their condition worsens. Isemonger was desperate for a good night's sleep.
"One day I saw something advertising floating. An ad came up on my Facebook feed, and I couldn't tell you why," she says. "It said something like 'Suffering from insomnia? Try floating!'. I saw it and thought 'Hey, I suffer from insomnia, that sounds like me, that's a great idea, I'll literally try anything," so that was my attitude.
The ad was placed by Anton Kuznetsov, owner and operator at Float Culture. Kuznetsov intuited that the anxiolytic properties of floatation might help to break the cycle of stress and deprivation that sustains insomnia. Although there is little hard scientific evidence concerning floatation therapy as a treatment for the condition, it follows that a reduction in cortisol and overall stress would be conducive to sleep. All Kuznetsov needed was someone to try it out.
"I decided to do it," says Isemonger. "I thought if it works, it'll be fantastic, and if not, I got to try something cool."
"I like to learn about the things I'm doing. I think knowledge is power. So I watched the cartoon Float Culture made and learned all about the process. When I walked in, it was bigger than I expected. I thought it would be much smaller. So you shower, and then you get into the pod. For me, the process of the shower is part of the relaxation. It helps your body to unwind, and that's something that they suggest you do if suffer from insomnia anyway, you should shower before bed. I got into the pod, and there's music playing and a blue light on. I left the lights till the music stopped, then switched them off. Then I was in the dark."
Sleep therapists the world over recommend sleeping in as dark an environment as possible. If you could put your mattress in the endless dark of a cavern three kilometres beneath the surface of the earth, that would obviously be preferable to sleeping under a halogen bulb. But for most people, heavy curtains and a closed door are about as good as you can do. In a float tank, however, the darkness is complete. And at first, it can be formidable.
"It was around that time that I was thinking 'what the hell am I doing,'" says Isemonger. "'This is the stupidest idea I've ever had!' But you just have to go through that. You just have to listen to what your brain has to say, let it say all of that garbage, and then eventually it doesn't have anything left to say. Up until now, I've never experienced that silence.
"I couldn't tell you how long the float went, and that's the beauty of being in a confined space without any ability to tell what's happening on the outside world. That was totally unique for me. When the music started up again at the end of the session, I thought 'Wow, well that was different'. By the time I showered, it felt like someone had tranquilised me."
Exiting the tank, most people experience incredible feelings of calm, relaxation and quiet joy. For Isemonger, deprived of sleep and entirely fresh to floatation, the effects were even more potent. Every droplet of water bounced light like tiny jewels. The complimentary cosmetics were rich and silken. For some people, the aftermath of a float is like what happens after great sex.
"One of my friends wanted to know what it was like straight away," says Isemonger. "And I had to tell her 'No, tomorrow, I can't'. I got home and it was the best nights sleep I've had in forever. I couldn't even talk on the phone, I was warm and relaxed and just tired. It was the best nights sleep I've had in so, so long."
But floatation is a practice, like any other. While moments of stillness certainly occur, often more frequently and with less effort than in traditional forms of meditation, floatation is not exclusively rolling waves of pleasure in an ego-less void.
"Unfortunately my second one wasn't as good because I had expectations. When you have that expectation, you put the pressure on. I made a rookie mistake. I still got benefits from being in there. I didn't come home with that same tranquilizer feeling, but absorbing all the different salts and the magnesium from the tank into your body, that's still going to really help with the relaxation process."
And, as I've discussed before, floatation therapy has other, more subtle benefits. Creative types the world over, from writers to fighters, utilise the tank for deep introspection and communion with the subconscious – a process Isemonger stumbled upon by chance.
"I'm an artist, so during my second and third floats I was visualising what I wanted to do with my paintings and stuff. I'd just finished at school at Whitecliff last year, and it was really great for that. When I got out, I still had a really great sleep. I had the best of both worlds. I just didn't have that amazing moment of nothing.
"For anyone with insomnia, I highly, highly recommend floatation. And eventually, you'll get that moment of silence. It's just about going in without expectations or pressure, just like getting to sleep."
Your Bathtub (or couch) is Not a Substitute For a Float Tank
"Sooo, why not just take a bath?!" I frequently get asked this when I start gushing about floating (or sensory deprivation, or isolation tanks or floatation therapy, or whatever the kids are calling it these days) The answer, my friends, is multi-faceted…. It includes the fact that my bathwater gets cold and 500 kgs of […]
Every Float is Different
In my first float I had no idea what to expect. I was a little apprehensive yet curious. As I got settled in the tank I quickly became confronted by fear. It arrived in the form of the darkness and unfamiliarity of the tank itself, but soon I realised that it was inside of me, […]

Floatation Tanks for Spiritual and Psychological Exploration
I make a lot of noise about the benefits of floatation. It's relaxing, it's great for the joints, works wonders for stress. But that's sort of like getting excited over the fitness benefits of mountaineering and ignoring the fact that you're having a religious experience clinging to an ice face on the roof of the […]

BELGRADE (Serbia), November 12 (SeeNews) - Fitch Ratings said it has affirmed Serbia's long-term foreign- and local-currency issuer default ratings (IDR) at 'BB', with a stable outlook.
Serbia's ratings are supported by governance, human development and ease of doing business indicators that exceed the majority of 'BB' category sovereigns, Fitch said in a statement late on Friday.
The presence of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) Policy-Coordinated Instrument (PCI) provides an anchor on reform and policy direction consistent with further strengthening of macroeconomic fundamentals and public debt reduction, Fitch said.
However, Serbia's ratings are constrained by its lower growth potential, as well as higher level of public and net external debt ratios to gross domestic product (GDP) relative to category peers, the ratings agency warned.
"Serbia's economic recovery has been stronger than Fitch expected. Economic growth in 1H18 accelerated by 4.9%, boosted by a strong pick-up in investment activity, as well as higher growth in both household and government consumption. Positive contributions from domestic demand offset negative net exports, where imports of investment-related goods outpaced positive export activity. The stronger cyclical rebound has led Fitch to revise up its real GDP forecast by 0.8pp, with the agency now expecting growth in 2018 to reach 4.3%, before moderating towards an average of 3.2% in 2019-2020. Despite the near-term pick-up in cyclical growth, Serbia's medium-term potential growth is constrained by several factors, including negative population growth and relatively low domestic savings ratio.
An improved macroeconomic environment and higher portfolio inflows have strengthened the RSD/EUR exchange rate, although the pace of appreciation has slowed in 2018 compared with 2017 (0.3% year-to date vs 4.2% in 2017). Net FX purchases by the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) amounted to EUR1.6 billion as of end-September, and have helped stem appreciation. Meanwhile inflation remains subdued, and Fitch expects it to average 2.0% in 2018 before picking up towards the NBS inflation target of 3.0% in 2019.
Serbia's public finances are expected to record another surplus this year. While government spending increased in areas of public sector salaries, social welfare and capital investment, revenue growth has remained strong against the favourable cyclical backdrop. As a result, Fitch has left its 2018 forecast for a fiscal surplus of 0.5% of GDP unchanged. For 2019, the government has agreed with the IMF to target a fiscal deficit of 0.5% of GDP. Fiscal priorities in the 2019 budget (still in its draft stages) are likely to include an increase in public investment, reduction in the labour tax burden, and measures to improve standards of living, using fiscal space generated by previous consolidation.
Serbia's general government debt ratio is forecast by Fitch to reach 54.0% of GDP in 2018, 4.7pp lower than 2017's debt ratio of 58.7%. Persistent primary fiscal surpluses have helped put debt on a firm downward trajectory, but fiscal risks remain. Serbia's debt structure is more exposed to FX risk than its peers, with the share of FX-denominated debt to total debt at 72%, compared with the current 'BB' median of 61%. Contingent liabilities from state-owned enterprises (approximately 4.0% of GDP) are incorporated in the general government debt number and regularly crystallise onto the budget.
Net external debt (25.0% of GDP in 2017) is above the current 'BB' median (9.5% of GDP). The majority of external debt is owed by the sovereign, and by the non-bank private sector, where risks are partly mitigated by a large proportion of intercompany lending (around 75% of total non-bank private sector liabilities). Fitch expects a stabilisation in the net external debt ratio in 2018-2019. In both years, net inflows of FDI are projected to cover current account deficits forecast at 5.6% of GDP and 4.9% of GDP, respectively.
Banking sector asset quality and capitalisation continue to improve. By end August 2018, non-performing loans were 6.5%, compared with a peak of 23.2% in May 2015. Meanwhile, the average capital adequacy ratio of the sector was 22.9% compared with 22.6% at end-2017. Excluding the effects from ongoing write-off of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the sector, total credit growth in 1H18 averaged a robust 14.2% year-on-year, with corporate and household credit growth up 14.3% and 14.6%, respectively. Planned restructuring of state-owned banks (SOBs), which account for 16% of total banking sector assets (11.5% of GDP), should further strengthen the banking sector. Progress in addressing weaknesses in SOBs has been slow. However, authorities have begun the progress of seeking a financial adviser for the privatisation of Komercijalna Banka (Serbia's third-largest bank, accounting 10.8% of banking sector assets).
The government remains committed to EU integration. However, progress towards the 2025 target for membership remains constrained by delays in the implementation of institutional reform, most notably in the area of anti-corruption, and poor relations with regional neighbours. Meanwhile, progress under the new IMF 30-month PCI support programme (signed in July following the successful completion of a Stand-By Arrangement in February) has been positive and serves an important anchor for maintaining fiscal and macro-economic stability.
Fitch's proprietary SRM assigns Serbia a score equivalent to a rating of 'BB+' on the Long-Term FC IDR scale.
-Macroeconomics: -1 notch, to reflect relatively weak medium-term growth potential due to structural rigidities (including high unemployment, large informal economy and adverse demographics and the large and inefficient public sector).
-An improvement in medium-term growth prospects without creating macro-economic imbalances.
-Fiscal consolidation resulting in a further reduction in the government debt-to-GDP ratio.
-A significant fiscal loosening that leads to a trend increase in the government debt burden.
-A recurrence of exchange rate pressures leading to a fall in reserves and a sharp rise in debt levels and interest burden.
-Worsening of external imbalances leading to increased external liabilities.
-Fitch assumes that EU accession talks will remain an important policy anchor."

Q: Consulta sobre tabla y Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint ¿Cómo estan? Necesitaría la iluminación de ustedes, tengo un programa que debe registrar la venta de n productos. La venta puede tener muchos productos, pero para ello debo tener un único identificador de venta. En este caso, como la venta del producto refiere a verduras, se nos sugirió usar el remito como dato único de venta. El problema es que, de la forma en que lo haga no puedo duplicar ese remito ya que debe ser único. Lo hice como campo PRYMARY KEY y como UNIQUE pero esto me da el siguiente error a la hora de hacer el INSERT:
'Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'UQ__Ventas__B9CD6610622A7841'.

Imagen para iluminar el proceso de inserción:

Lo que se ve en azul es el código único de venta, el remito. ¿Cómo puedo solucionar este problema de inserción?

A: En el error pone que estás insertando valores duplicados, por lo que entiendo que en nroRemito, teniendo UNIQUE, puede ocurrir lo siguiente:

*

*Estás insertando una o más filas que ya están insertadas en la tabla; al ser UNIQUE, te da el error ya que no permite valores duplicados.

*También podría ocurrir si intentas actualizar cualquier valor con un nroRemito que ya existe (lo cual no es en este caso, ya que estás haciendo un insert).

Por tanto entiendo que ocurre lo primero; prueba a hacer una sentencia SELECT a ver si ese dato ya existe:
SELECT *
FROM Ventas
WHERE nroRemito = '1234567891234'

Y comprueba que no te devuelve ningún valor. Si te devuelve una fila, que seguramente sea eso, estás intentando insertar una fila que ya existe, y al ponerle UNIQUE, no te lo permite.

Seth M. Noar joined the UNC School of Media and Journalism in July 2011. He also is a member of UNC's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Noar's research interests are centered in health communication, particularly how to harness traditional and new media to promote healthy behavioral changes among individuals and communities. This type of research involves understanding and applying behavioral theories that advance our understanding of the behavior change process; testing message design theories and frameworks to best understand what types of messages will be most resonant and persuasive with target audiences; and evaluating interventions in carefully designed randomized and quasi-experimental trials.
For more than a decade, much of Noar's research was focused in the HIV/AIDS area. He worked on National Institutes of Health (NIH) projects developing and evaluating televised media campaigns to increase safer sexual behaviors. He was also the principal investigator on a National Institute of Mental Health-funded project testing the ability of a computer-delivered intervention to increase correct and consistent condom use among African Americans visiting an STD clinic.
Noar's research has recently been more focused on cancer prevention. He has conducted research to advance an understanding of the impact of celebrity cancer diagnoses on media and person outcomes; how a combination of environmental changes and social marketing can impact fruit and vegetable consumption among elementary students; and how various belief systems of adolescent and young adult females affect their decision-making about indoor tanning behavior. Noar is also conducting significant research on anti-tobacco messages, including graphic warning labels on cigarette packs. He is the co-director of the Communication Core for the UNC Center for Regulatory Research on Tobacco Communication, funded by an FDA/NIH grant from 2013-2018.
Before coming to Carolina, Noar was an associate professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Kentucky. He had a secondary appointment in the UK College of Public Health's Department of Health Behavior.
Noar has co-edited two books, "Communication Perspectives on HIV/AIDS for the 21st Century" (2008) with Drs. Timothy Edgar and Vicki Freimuth, and "eHealth Applications: Promising Strategies for Behavior Change" (2012) with Dr. Nancy Harrington. His work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed outlets, including Human Communication Research, Health Communication, Journal of Health Communication, Health Education Research, Psychological Bulletin, AIDS, Social Science & Medicine, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and JAMA Dermatology, among others.

Clemens Kauderer seals the win in Germany with his fresh E92 build!
It may be the second half of the season, but that didn't stop Clemens Kauderer from unveiling his brand new HGK BMW E92 before pushing it to the limits to secure the top spot of the podium after an all-Austrian final against Alois Pamper to cause the ultimate surprise at Round 6 in Germany.
It was all eyes on series leader Marco Zakouril throughout the event with yet another brand new car as his long-awaited BMW M2 build was finally unveiled. He looked increasingly confident with throughout the weekend before sealing the third place spot on the podium.
Christos Chantzaras, Stavros Grillis and Takis Konstantaras travelled from Greece to return to the competition. 2017 final round winner, Chantzaras, threw down an incredible run to secure P1 in ProSeries qualification to prove he is here to fight for the top in the remaining rounds of the season. Series leader Marko Zakouril pushed his M2 to second place with Rick Van Goethem in third.
In the Pro2 series, it was Maxi Grimm that secured the P1 qualification spot on home soil with Sebastian Mauszewski in second and Gunther Denk in third.
For Queen of Europe, Denise Ritzmann's impressive season continued as she too landed P1 the qualifying spot in her homeland. Michaela Sacherova took second place with Karolina Pilarczyk in third.
As the final battles got underway at the famously tricky high-speed 'triple left hander' layout, there was certainly no shortage of incredible battles before the Top 4 contenders were decided.It would see top qualifier Chantzaras go up against Clemens Kauderer in the brand new E92. Meanwhile series leader Marco Zakouril would face an in-form Alois Pamper.
After an initial 5-5 deadlock in the opening run, Kauderer managed a 7-3 advantage in his lead run to secure his spot in the final battle!
As Zakouril and Pamper stepped up, Zakouril looked more comfortable than ever in the new M2 as he slayed his tyres, securing an 8-2 advantage in his lead run. However, disaster struck as a rare mistake proved that the M2 is still an untamed beast for now, handing Pamper his place in the final battle with a 10-0 scoreline.
As the small final got underway, it was this time Chantzaras that made the unlikely mistake, handing a 10-0 advantage to Zakouril. Despite Chantzaras best efforts, Zakouril wasn't willing to leave without a trophy as he sealed the third spot on the podium.
In the all-Austrian final, Kauderer and Pamper went head to head and after an initial 5-5 deadlock, Kauderer pushed his incredible new build as hard as he could and sealed a narrow 6-4 victory to land the coveted top spot!
In the Pro2 series, Alexandre Strano went up against Markus Denk in the small final, and it was Strano that deservedly took the third place spot with a 6-4, 6-4 advantage.
In the Pro2 final, despite an initial 5-5 deadlock, Pavlin Penev continued his quest for the title once again as the 6-4 advantage sealed him the top spot against Maxi Grimm!
This means that Pavlin Penev sits at the top of the overall rankings with 350 points, with Sebastian Matuszewski in 2nd place with 310 and Alexandre Strano in 3rd with 260 as we head to the double-points Pro2 final round in Greinbach, Austria!
The Queen of Europe final saw Denise Ritzmann seal the perfect victory on home soil this weekend, securing a 7-3, 4-6 victory in a close final against Michaela Sacherova.
Denise Ritzmann now sits at the top of the overall rankings with 360 points, with Karolina Pilarczyk in 2nd place with 320 and Ionita Lenuta in 3rd with 280 as they too prepare for the double-points Queen of Europe final in Austria!

Lisa Marie Presley 'owed $3M to creditors' amid custody battle with ex-husband Michael Lockwood before her death at 54
LISA Marie Presley has passed away while in millions of dollars of debt, according to court documents.
Lisa Marie and her ex-husband Michael Lockwood have been battling in court over child support for about a year, and the legal war forced her debts into the spotlight.
GettyLisa Marie passed away yesterday at the age of 54[/caption]
AFPPrior to her death, her ex-husband took her to court for child support payments[/caption]
Radar Online reported that Lisa Marie was in a massive amount of debt before her passing which included $1 million in back taxes.
The court papers showed that being divorced since 2016, Lisa Marie, who is the only daughter of rock legend Elvis Presley, didn't pay child support because she was in serious debt.
After a million-dollar advance for her book and all the cash from the movie Elvis, Michael brought Lisa Marie back to court so she would pay the child support.
This action forced Lisa Marie to publicize her debt-to-income ratio- while only making $4,361 a month from personal income and $95,000 from the Elvis estate, which needed to be recouped by the estate by the end of the year.
The documents also state that Lisa Marie ended up proving that she was $3 million in debt, and she spent $92,000 a month on expenses.
It also claimed that Lisa Marie's rent was $23,000, and she spent $21,000 each month paying back her debt.
According to the docs, she owed major debts including owing $1.17 million to Barclay's Bank UK, $700,000 in back taxes, and $568,000 to the IRS for taxes she owed in 2021.
Lisa Marie owed the California Franchise Tax Board $399,012 for 2017 and 2018 taxes and $159,000 for the year 2021.
She also owed $280,000 to the assistant writer of her tell-all book.
Lisa Marie tragically died on Jan. 12 from cardiac arrest at the age of 54.
In her final Instagram post, Lisa Marie wanted to help others deal with grief.
She wrote: "Hi. In honor of it being National Grief Awareness Day, I wrote an essay about Grief which was posted today on PEOPLE.
"I thought I'd post it here in the hopes that anyone who needs to hear all of this, it helps in some way."
Her son died by suicide after a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the young age of 27 on July 12, 2020.
In the essay she gave to PEOPLE, Lisa Marie shared what she's learned from her grief.
She wrote: "Death is part of life whether we like it or not — and so is grieving. Grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year, or years after the loss.
"Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe. You do not 'get over it,' you do not 'move on,' period."
Lisa Marie is survived by daughter Riley Keough, 33, from her first marriage to Daniel Keough and twins Harper and Finley, 14, whom she shares with ex husband Michael.

To the south of Dambulla – and to the north-east of Kandy – is one of Sri Lanka's least-visited areas, the highlands area called the Dumbara Hills or, more exactly in Sinhala, Dumbara Kanduvetiya which translates as "The Misty Mountains". The name is appropriate given the cloud cover often found at the 1000 meter plus sections of the range. The British would give it yet another name, referring to it as the Knuckles Range because from the Kandy area the appearance of the dominant peaks brought to mind the knuckles of a clenched fist!
We left Dambulla before 8:00 a.m. stopping on the way to pick up fresh fruit and some nibbles and juices for the morning ride. There were ten of us and our guide, as well as the bus driver and his helper on the journey. We were on the first leg of a tour put together by the U.K. adventure travel company Exodus (see here for the brochure.) It would be about 11:30 by the time we got out of our tour bus. Lunch was waiting for us at a Pitawala home and we would spend an hour there before setting out.
Here is a satellite overview of the area with the lush fields of the Pitawala valley framed by low hills on either side. The ten-kilometer hike would take us from the valley (about 600 meters a.s.l.) up the slopes of Manigala Hill (1100 m) and back down to Illukkumbura on the right-hand side. The sketch is a very rough approximation of our walk!
Note: The above image was generated by a free satellite service available from Google. You do need to install the Google Earth app to access it. You will find it worth the effort!
In the photo below – taken from Manigala later on that afternoon – our starting point would almost in the dead center of the image. We would walk to the left side of the photo following a rough village trail before gaining some 500 meters in altitude.
Guiding us for the day was a villager who, in contrast to the visiting hikers with their hiking boots and trekking poles, did the walk in flip-flops! Luckily for all of us, the ground was dry and that the forest cover meant we were rarely without shade in the afternoon sun. There our guide sits in the photo below!
As we made our way up the valley there was lots of evidence of irrigation works to harness the water of the Thelgamu Oya (River).
In the photo below the Thelgamu Oya tumbles down through rocks while a local woman does some washing.
Eventually, we came to a point where we crossed the river and started our gradual ascent on age-old village paths. Some stretches of the path were made with concrete or stone blocks as in the image below. On a couple of occasions, the path would come to a fork and we would take one and wonder where the other led. The most likely answer – to another village! These are clearly paths with a purpose and not wilderness trails.
Here is a Google Earth view of the bump that is Manigala Hill or Mountain. We came up to it from the right-hand side and would spend an hour walking the length of the ridge to the left.
Thanks to the five hundred meter height gain we had views like the one you see in the photo below. At the start of the plateau, I put the camera into panorama mode so that I could capture more of the scene before us. Down below is the valley which we had walked; on the far side is another mountain spine. Visible on the ridge is the Riverstone SLT telecommunications tower!
Not a lot of shade up on top of the ridge so the breeze was appreciated! We walked along the ridge, took lots of breaks to sip on water and enjoy the views – it was about 3:30 and we had spent about two and a half not too strenuous hours getting up there.
Trip reports on the Manigala hike sometimes have images of tents inserted right about here. It seems that some groups spend the night up there before heading back down on the other side the next morning. I did see some evidence of tent spots not far from where our villager/guide is standing in the photo below.
We would stay well hydrated and make our way down to the Illikumbura side later that afternoon. On our way back down we would pass through areas that had been cultivated and/or turned into grazing grounds.
For some reason, I did not take any photos of our descent to the Illikumbura Forest Office. I do recall that the trail back down was much rougher than the path up to the ridge from the other side. Parts were quite steep with occasionally challenging footing. I made major use of my trekking poles – now a dozen centimetres longer – for the descent. Some without poles had trouble negotiating the path and every once in a while those in front would wait until the rest caught up. Making things easier was a dry as opposed to a wet and muddy path.
After an hour of down the other side of the hill, we finished the day with a short walk to our home for the night – a safari-style camp set up on the banks of the Thelgamu Oya with a bungalow above serving as the kitchen and accommodation for the staff. In front of the bungalow was a covered porch which would become the dining area the next morning.
In the photo below you can see a couple of the tents as well as a shower and a toilet tent that have been set up. The river is to the left; the bungalow is on a flat area above.
When we got to the camp it was already getting late – about 6 p.m. Some of us went down to the river to wash away the day's sweat. It looked quite idyllic in the setting sun and I told myself that I'd have to get up early the next morning to get some dawn shots of the Thelgamu.
The tent itself – with room for two on separate camp beds – was a few notches above the kind of camping I am used to – it was definitely quite plush! It would definitely qualify as a level of camping referred to as glamping!
I will admit to not being a big fan of bugs and insects, especially ones I have never seen before. Black flies and mosquitos I know and can deal with. I picked up the insect below from my roommate's bed cover and put him outside the tent. I also made sure that the bug net hanging over the bed was all tucked in before I fell asleep.
crawler in our Knuckles Range Tent!
Without a doubt, the Knuckles Range provides those who take the time to visit with many unforgettable walks through verdant forests with scenic hilltop views. Unlike other places (like Nepal, let's say) where a generation or two of hikers has helped the locals develop a trekking infrastructure, things in Sri Lanka are in their very infancy. A visit to the Range is best done through a hiking/trekking agency which knows the terrain and has the know-how and the contacts to make it all happen – from transportation to routes to accommodation to food to guides.
See the next post for some pix of the Thelgamu Oya at dawn, as well as other highlights like the pyramid-shaped Lakegala peak above the fields of Meemure and the view from Corbett's Gap.
A 2012 trip report by a local group from Colombo describes a hike which started with a walk to the top of the hill on one side of the valley – the one with the communications tower. Then they walked back down and followed the village trail up to the Manigala ridge where they camped for the night before walking back down on the Illukkumbura side – see here for the write-up and pix.
Pls correct Thelgamuwa as Delgamuwa.
Anon – thanks for providing an alternative spelling.
Enter Thelgamuwa in the Google search window and you'll find its use is quite common! I can see, however, how replacing the Th with a D would make sense. In the end, you are pointing out the problem of using Latin letters to create the sound in English of what we hear in the Sinhalese original.
The English have quite the history of not getting it exactly right. Bombay! Peking! Burma … I am sure you could add more Sri Lankan place names to the list!

Black Woman Techie Fired After Outing Sexist Jokesters at Conference
Makkada B. Selah March 25, 2013 March 25, 2013 622
(Image: Twitter)
A female technology developer has been fired by tech company SendGrid after tweeting about a group of men she said were making sexual innuendos about "dongles" at the PyCon US 2013 Developer Conference in California, MSN reports.
Adria Richards wrote on her blog, that she was at the conference in Santa Clara last week when the men behind her started talking about "big dongles." A dongle is a device that plugs into a computer, but Richards said the men made the comment in a sexual way.
She turned around, took a photo of the men and posted it on Twitter with their alleged comments.
"Not cool. Jokes about forking repo's in a sexual way and "big" dongles. Right behind me #pycon," Richards tweeted.
The men, who worked for a company called PlayHaven, were asked to leave the conference. And later, one of the jokesters was fired by PlayHaven for his "inappropriate comments."
After his firing, hackers attacked Richards' employer SendGrid's servers in protest, and soon thereafter, SendGrid in turn fired Richards saying: "publicly shaming the men was inappropriate and she had to be terminated for alienating the developer community."
Twitter has responded under the hashtag #Donglegate. Some feel Richards is being unfairly punished for daring to stand up to the white boys club in Silicon Valley, while others feel it's she who acted inappropriately by "shaming" the perpetrators in a public forum, and she should have just ignored the whole thing.

Bo at Iditarod Creek by Kirkpatrick Hill
See 1 Critic Review
As before, the pacing is leisurely, and much is conveyed through clear exposition that evokes time and place well...Overall, another warm and charming outing, and the family's move to a different town and larger, permanent home is a satisfying ending—though Bo's ever changing family dynamic may summon another sequel.
-Kirkus
Ever since five-year-old Bo can remember, she and her papas have lived in the little Alaskan mining town of Ballard Creek. Now the family must move upriver to Iditarod Creek for work at a new mine, and Bo is losing the only home she's ever known. Initially homesick, she soon realizes that there is warmth and friendship to be found everywhere . . . and what's more, her new town may hold an unexpected addition to her already unconventional family.
As with Bo at Ballard Creek, this stand-alone sequel is a story about love, inclusion, and day-to-day living in the rugged Alaskan bush of the late 1920s. Full of fascinating details, it is an unforgettable story.

Il  è una console a 32 bit prodotta da NEC. Annunciata nel maggio del 1992, in occasione dell'anniversario della fondazione di Hudson Soft, come successore del PC Engine, la piattaforma fu commercializzata a partire dal 1994 fino al 1998, anno del ritiro di NEC dal mercato delle console.

Storia
La macchina venne presentata in Giappone il 23 dicembre 1994. Il PC-FX utilizza esclusivamente CD-ROM a differenza del PC Engine che utilizzava le cartucce HuCard (se non era installato il lettore di CD).

La commercializzazione del PC-FX fu interrotta all'inizio del 1998; al momento dell'interruzione il PC-FX aveva venduto circa  unità.

Caratteristiche
La console ha una forma simile a quella di un personal computer, nello specifico un computer in un case Tower, mentre in quel periodo la maggior parte delle console concorrenti erano inserite in case piatti in modo da poter essere agevolmente posizionate vicino agli altri elettrodomestici.

Il controller è un joypad simile a quello utilizzato dal Sega Mega Drive, ma con molti più pulsanti. Un'altra caratteristica interessante erano le tre porte di espansione della macchina. Le porte di espansione in questo genere di macchine sono abbastanza inusuali dato che la loro inclusione ha un costo, ma la maggior parte degli utenti non ha necessità di espandere le potenzialità delle console e quindi in sostanza si innalza il costo della console senza fornire un servizio migliore all'utente.

Videogiochi

Per la console sono stati commercializzati 62 giochi. I titoli del lancio commerciale iniziale erano Graduation 2: Neo Generation FX, Battle Heat e Team Innocent il 23 dicembre 1994, mentre l'ultimo gioco commercializzato è stato First Kiss Story il 24 aprile 1998. La console e i giochi furono commercializzati solamente in Giappone. Un certo numero di dischi demo furono venduti insieme a riviste, e permettevano all'utente di giocare con la demo in un PC-Engine dotato di CD o con il PC-FX.

Non c'erano protezioni contro la copia in nessuno dei giochi per il PC-FX. Questo fu deciso dal momento che ai tempi in cui fu venduta la console l'alto prezzo dei CD vuoti e dei masterizzatori per CD-R rendeva non conveniente la pirateria.

Gran parte dei giochi sono simulatori di appuntamenti incomprensibili a chi non parla giapponese, ma la rivista britannica Retro Gamer ha tentato comunque una selezione dei dieci più grandi giochi per PC-FX: Battle Heat, Chip Chan Kick!, Der Langrisser FX, Kishin Doji Zenki: Vajura Fight, Tyoushin Heiki Zeroigar, Farland Story FX, Last Imperial Prince, Tengai Makyo Karakuri Kakutoden, Fire Woman Matoigumi, Dragon Knight 4.

If every city was a painting, Florence would be the greatest of them all. The bold brushes of red seem to have run over the top of Florence with a deftness that has resulted in a masterpiece. The city oozes creativity. Its land, water, and air fill up humans with the love of creativity. Considered by many as the seat of Italian Renaissance, Florence has its fair share of legendary artists. From the great Poet Dante to the ingenuous Leonardo Da Vinci, Florence has had artists like Texas has steaks- in bulk but of the best quality. Book cheap flights to Florence and walk on the streets where artists like Balotelli, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Giotto did.
The narrow lanes are cobbled and grey and they run through magnificent darkened alleys to unknown historical lands and mysteries. Florence is all about mystery. With a plethora of historical figures as its residents, every nook and corner of the city is precious and filled with historical significance. Without even realizing, you might be eating at the same place where Da Vinci sat all those years thinking about immortalizing Mona Lisa with his brush strokes on a canvass. That's the best part about the city, its residents are immortalized and through them Florence, a place of immortals.
Galleria degli Uffizi - Known to the world as Gallria degli Uffizi, or simply Uffizi, this museum houses a collection of painting and sculptures by world renowned artists from the era of renaissance. The gallery started in the 15th century and is home to famous works such as "The birth of Venus" by Botticelli, "Laocoön and his Sons" by Baccio Bandinelli, and "Doni Tondo" by Michelangelo. Book a hotel in Florence that is near Uffizi gallery, it'll be worth every penny spent.
Ponte Vecchio - Rumored to be built in the 900s, Ponte Vecchio is a bridge that has withstood the test of time, weather, war, and human interference for more than a thousand years. The beauty of this bridge is such that when Hitler gave orders to bomb Florence, he spared Ponte Vecchio. This bridge is one of the only few in the world to still have shops. A romantic attraction, Ponte Vecchio offers marvelous views of River Arno.
Galleria Dell'Accademia - The narrow lanes wind and snake leading you to Galleria Dell'Accademia. This gallery houses, without a doubt, the greatest statue ever crafted. Long queues are always present outside the gallery to get just one look of David. With no Goliath in sight, David still stands with his chest puffed, carved in eternal white marble. Michelangelo's sculpture has awed and inspired people for over 500 years.
Florence is always pleasant. The cold is not too harsh and the summers aren't too hot. The best time to visit this gorgeous city, however, would be from March to June. This is the time when the temperatures in Florence are moderate. Get best flight deals on your trip to Florence during these months and enjoy the likeable weather of this city.
Florence Airport is the closest airport to the capital of Tuscany. Located at a distance of just over 8 miles from the city center, you can rent a car from the airport and drive to Florence.
Florence is art in motion. If you were to take away from Florence its galleries, museums, and famous past artist residents, Florence would still be gorgeous and a must visit city. The building and churches are like the crown of this city, heightening its extraordinary factor. One such building is the Duomo. The iconic building is visible from all over the city as it rises above every other structure in the surroundings. Book a flight to Florence and treat yourself to good times.


Nepal is about to auction off its first private mobile telephone licence. Nepalis finally have a chance to get cheap and efficient cell-phones. Or do they?
On 1 November the independent Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) will auction off a business licence to set up the country's first private cell-phone network that could finally bring consumers cheaper and more efficient mobiles. Six companies have pre-qualified for the final round of bidding: among them are joint ventures with one Turkish, one Singaporean, and four Indian partners.
The Khetan Group is teaming up with India's Modi Telestra (MTL) and is also backing Turkey's Rumeli Telekom. Nepal Venture P Ltd (backed by the promoters of the Nepal Industrial and Commercial Bank) is going along with India's United Telecom, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited.
Four Nepali business houses (ICTC, the Jyoti Group, the Golchha Group, and Continental Trading) are behind India's Bharati Telecom. The Mercantile Group is working with India's BPL Broadband Networks. A company by the name of Nepal Holiday is bidding with Singapore's Millicom International Cellular (Asia) P Ltd. Whoever wins the bid will have to begin service within nine months.
The auction is straightforward-there is theoretically no chance for underhand deals by ministers and no backroom negotiations. This also means consumers don't pay for political corruption and commissions on equipment supplies, all of which are usually passed on to consumers and contribute to unnaturally high tariffs and other inefficiencies.
All eyes are on the NTA auction. How properly it is handled will be seen as a pointer to future privatisation schemes of the entire telecom sector. Licensing of mobile telephone service using the GSM-900 technology is part of the government's efforts to privatise and deregulate service sectors.
The government-run Nepal Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) still laps up all bilateral loans for rural telephony. Earlier this month it received a Belgian government loan for a village phone network for an initiative similar to the upcoming NTA auction. Such bilateral deals are the least transparent, and, say development experts, provide wide opportunities for graft and come tied with equipment purchase and consultation contract guarantees. In the case of the Belgian loan Alcatelbell would be the most likely supplier. Interestingly, the Prime Minister visited the Alcatel headquarters in Antwerp on his way to the UN millennium summit last month.
It took the NTA nine months to get to the financial bidding stage. But despite prolonged delays-which even led some multilateral lenders to threaten to put potential projects on the back-burner-participating businesses have few complaints. "The road from here is more important, we don't know how level the playing field is going to be," said one.
The message of the mobile licensing experience is that despite endemic corruption, Nepal can make fair and transparent decisions when there is a straightforward law and professionals with integrity-not politicians-are in charge of decision-making. "Generally, the government has been cooperative," says Bhup Raj Pandey, NTA Chairman. His job has not been easy because the autonomous body's transparent methods have forced greedy politicos to salivate on the sidelines.
Pandey told us there were times when interference and pressures to bend rules got so intense that he nearly resigned. "I've told myself that as long as I'm here I will go only by the telecom policy and law," he said. "I may still have the draft of my resignation letter somewhere with me."
NTA's transparency is in sharp contrast to what goes on at its parent ministry. A classic example is of FM radio licensing in which the ministry has made numerous ad hoc decisions and emerged unscathed-unnoticed even by agencies like parliament's public spending watchdog.
The Ministry of Information and Communication has had occasional bouts of honesty, but even these are suspect, such as its recent advertisement seeking proposals from companies wanting to launch terrestrial television. The notice appeared in the government's English daily on 1-3 October and gave interested parties just 35 days to submit applications accompanied with detailed project studies, including network, construction, financing and programming policy and plans. With two weeks off for Dasain, this was suspiciously short notice for such a large and complicated bidding. One source told us: "How could you expect anyone to prepare a proposal for a $50-60 million project within two weeks?" When we last checked with the ministry on Monday, there hadn't been a single application.
An NTA notice seeking proposals for a rural telecom network in east Nepal that appeared in the papers the same week was in sharp contrast to the Ministry's advertisement. The NTA posted the entire tender document on its website, with a clear explanation of how the licensing process works: the plan is to award the contract to the company seeking the lowest subsidies.
The frightening part of the current bidding process is that even after the results of the 1 November auction are announced, the winner will still have to deal with the Ministry. "We'll have to go there for frequency allocations and other support," rues one businessman.
also an annual frequency fee in addition to all customs duties and associated taxes, payable after actual commissioning of the service.
So far so good, but what remains to be seen is how the NTA and the government work to create fair competition when the really big reforms get underway-breaking the NTC into smaller companies that provide different services, and maintaining separate accounts to prevent it from cross-subsidising tariffs.


RunningRoom has nearly one hundred stores across North America and Commercial Design is responsible for all aspects of their website. Previously an advertising manager had been tracking the production of creative pieces and related advertising budgets manually, but as the number of stores grew, this became unmanageable.
I was tasked with creating a tool to track advertising campaigns for each different store, region and medium (eg. radio, newspaper etc.). Each time an ad is purchased, the advertising department uploads the creative piece and a description of where it is running etc using the tool.
The tool also featured a graphical reporting tool, showing the time periods for which ads are running, with filters by region, store and medium. This allowed the advertising department to identify gaps in their ad campaigns, or effectively focus their ads around running events the running room was sponsoring.
The tool also played an important role for the accounting department, allowing them to generate purchase orders (as PDFs or HTML) for advertisers and invoices for companies involved in split campaigns (for example, Nike will often pay for 1/2 an ad featuring shoes on sale at runningroom).

These New Puritans - How to make vivacious musicWords by Megan de Graaf
How to make vivacious music
The air is sultry in music venue Lido, Berlin. After the last member of the sound crew disappears behind the curtains, the crowd slowly moves forward to gather in front of the stage. The light dims and voices turn into whispering. The stage is drowned in faint blue light, and the silhouettes of instruments become visible: a trumpet, vibraphone, French horn, piano, electronics and drums. Acclaimed art rock band These New Puritans are on tour with their new third album Field of Reeds and we didn't want to miss them.
The London-based four-piece consists of twin brothers Jack and George Barnett, keyboard player Thomas Hein and new recruit female vocalist Elisa Rodrigues. Catching up with them before their performance, George repeatedly mentions how his legs can't be in the photos we are taking- I'm still not sure if he was serious. After all, the drummer-turned-model has been seen on the runway for everyone from Prada to Burberry. And in 2007, the band collaborated with Hedi Slimane to create the soundtrack for Dior Homme's Hiver runway show, in which George was also featured. According to Jack, the collaboration was "a unique creative situation, nothing to do with it being fashion per se. We went to live in Paris and worked in some amazing studios. It's crazy that we were doing that at eighteen or nineteen years old. It was stressful at the time because there was a lot of pressure – we had to write, record and mix a fifteen minute song in a matter of days," Jack remembers.
While more fashion-related collaborations seem unlikely for These New Puritans, working together with new band member Elisa beyond Field of Reeds is a significantly more likely scenario. Elisa is a Portuguese jazz singer who was picked up by Jack when researching Portuguese music and language, two things he confesses to loving more than a lot of other things in the world. Her smooth, soulful voice and presence was perfect for the melodies Jack had written for the female parts on the album. Luckily, Elisa was interested too. "We asked her to come to England to sing on the album and she said yes," Jack says. "It was a bit of a leap of faith from us, and her as well, but the risk paid off. I love her voice, even when she's singing in a linear way there's expression in her voice. She really threw herself into the music. She even put up with us getting her to sing the same thing a thousand times!"
When asking Elisa about how she's keeping up with touring with a bunch of guys, she replies "I suppose life on the road is going to be strenuous in some way, no matter what band are you with. This one has been a good experience. It's a good team, a group of talented people. It works. They have a respectful audience and fanbase, which makes everything more exciting. Not to mention the music. I fall for it more and more every time we play."
While These New Puritans' previous two albums have been categorized as "post-punk" and "aggressive," their latest work is much more quiet. According to Jack, it's more "human" too: "I'm not really sure whatI mean when I say that but it sounds right. There's a lot of emotion tied up in it." The lead singer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter of the band says there was no big idea when creating their latest album: "It was just an accumulation of writing lots of music, putting one note in front of the other, relying on instinct. I had no idea whether it would hang together as an album. It was only once I had played the songs, about 30 of them, that I thought, 'Oh right, this could make sense'."
The recordings were made in different studios, one of which was the concert hall Funkhaus Nalepastraße in Berlin. Jack describes it as an incredible place: "It's a post-war West German radio complex with huge buildings where they used to produce radio plays. You've got all these different spaces. Wooden rooms, stone rooms and rooms with staircases that lead to nowhere, which they used for the sound of people going up and down the stairs." It was German conductor André de Ridder, whom the band has worked with previously on Hidden who brought them there. "A lot of the time for so-called 'pop sessions,' the conductor will be some anonymous person you've never met and who couldn't care less about the music. André knows the music and brought in musicians who he knows and trusts." Jack gushes. "We started off at the very beginning with the ensemble recording of brass and strings. Usually it's the other way round, something that bands sprinkle on at the end, but we built the album around it."
Jack's favorite moment when recording the album was him thumping on the piano from underneath, whilst holding the sustain pedal down. The idea came from Jack's mental image of being locked in a grand piano, trying to get out: "You have to punch it really hard to get any sound from it. My hands were bruised for ages after that. It's the kind of thing that might sound like a good idea, but ends up sounding shit. In Somehow we were lucky this time: I think it ended up sounding really good and unusual."
With Field of Reeds, These New Puritans have created a harmonious album with engrossing lyrics and a personal feel. "It's no good writing about some obscure species of slug or something. Music is expected to be trivial and ironic these days, but I just want to do something and mean it 100 percent." For the first time, Jack wrote strong emotions into the songs, opening himself up noticeably more than on previous albums: "You get feelings that override any other consideration," he explains. This newfound bravery infuses the music with a sense of intimate urgency that transcends the skill and poignancy which put the band on the musical map in the first place.
So what's next for These New Puritans? "I never have a clue," Jack muses. "It could be a country and western album for all I know." After hearing their enchanting and melodic music in Lido that night, there is no doubt no doubt that even a country album would sound like pure magic.

Alexander Graham Bell was born on 3rd march, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom. He was an inventor, a scientist and an engineer as well. The work of Bell's father, grandfather and his brother was related on speech and elocution. His mother was deaf, extremely influencing Bell to research on hearing devices and further experiments on speech hearing devices. He was the first U.S. patent holder, awarded for inventing telephone in 1876. In 1885, he founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT & T). In later part of life, he invented many more inventions related to hydrofoils, aeronautics and optical telecommunications.
Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland. Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds were the parents of Alexander Bell. Graham Bell's father was a professor at the University of Edinburgh of speech elocution and he also wrote many books about elocution and speech. Melville James Bell and Edward Charles Bell were the brothers of Alexander Graham Bell. They died of tuberculosis. Alexander Graham Bell was named after his paternal grandfather. When he was 10 years the middle name "Graham" was added to his name. Graham Bell had his early schooling from his father at home. Bell was enrolled at the Royal High School, Edinburgh, Scotland. One day he played with his best friend Ben Herdman, whose family operated a flour mill. Bell learned dehusking wheat grains from his friend. He invented a home-made device for dehusking wheat grains at the age of 12. This was the first invention of Graham Bell. The machine was used for many years at the mill. Bell moved to London to live with his grandfather at the age of 15. He spent many hours with his grandfather in serious pursuit of academics. Bell held position as a pupil-teacher of music, elocution at the age of 16 in Weston House Academy in Elgin, Scotland. He learnt Greek and Latin and also earned money while teaching elocution. At the age of 16, Bell and his brother tried to build a talking robot. They built a larynx with a sensible looking head. When the air blew through the larynx, the mouthpiece could speak some identifiable words. In the next few years, Bell moved to a new school for teaching elocution and improving himself.
Alexander Graham Bell continued his own research into sound and speech. At that time his health was fragile and he returned home. Both of Graham Bell's brothers died of tuberculosis by mid-1870s. Bell's parents were worried about Graham Bell whose health was poor. His father decided to move to Canada with his family. They lived in Brentford, Ontario. Graham Bell's health began to improve. He learnt Mohawk language and wrote in the language for the first time. He was awarded the title of Honorary Chief for his work.
Alexander Graham Bell taught at Sarah Fuller's school for the deaf at Boston, Massachusetts in 1871. Graham Bell opened in Boston the "School of Vocal Physiology and Mechanics of speech" in October 1872. He also taught the private students including Helen Keller, who was not able to see, hear or speak. Bell became a professor at the Boston University school of Vocal Physiology and Elocution. Throughout his life he taught the deaf and founded the American Association to promote teaching of speech to the deaf.
Alexander Graham Bell experimented for many inventions including the telephone. He gained funds from the fathers of two of his students. Bell explained his work in a letter to the linguistics expert Alexander Ellis. He told to Bell his work was similar to the Hermann von Helmholtz's work, which was carried out in Germany. Bell tried to read the work of Helmholtz but he did not understand the German language. He followed the logic of diagrams in the book. He misunderstood the diagrams. Helmholtz succeeded with vowel sounds but Bell believed the sounds of speech had been converted into electricity but Helmholtz was not able to do this. During his experiments Bell got an idea of transmitting the human voice over wires. Bell gave the ideas to Watson who created the equipment. They worked on both the harmonic telegraph and a voice transmitting device through 1874 and 1875. Bell and Watson finally succeeded in 1876. Accidentally, Bell knocked the container of transmitting fluid and shouted, "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you!" Watson heard Bell voice through the wire and he received the first telephone call. One month later Graham Bell displayed telephone at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. He gained more publicity. Dom Pedro, who was an Emperor of Brazil ordered hundred telephones for his country. On July 9, 1877 the Bell Telephone company was founded. Bell was invited to make the first transcontinental phone call in January 1915.
In 1881, Alexander Graham Bell developed the early versions of a metal detector. This metal detector was capable of finding the location of bullets exactly. This device quickly identified the bullet in the body of U.S. president James Garfield. Bell dedicated more time to exploring flight. Alexander Graham Bell started with the tetrahedral kite in 1890's. The Aerial Experiment Association with Glen Curtiss and several other associates was set up by Bell in 1890's. The group developed several flying machines. Alexander Graham Bell later worked on hydrofoils and set a world record for the speed of the boat.
Alexander Graham Bell married Mabel Hubbard, the daughter of a Boston lawyer Gardiner Greene Hubbard on June 11, 1877. They had four children Elsie May Bell, Marian Hubbard Bell and two sons. Unfortunately, both the sons died in infancy.
On August 2, 1922 Graham Bell died as he developed complications of diabetes at the age of 75 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He also suffered from pernicious anemia.
"My knowledge of electrical subjects was not acquired in a methodical manner but was picked up from such books as I could get hold of and from such experiments as I could make with my own hands."
"A man's own judgment should be the final appeal in all that relates to himself."
"I have discovered that my interest in my dear pupil, Mabel, has ripened into a far deeper feeling than that of mere friendship. In fact, I know that I have learned to love her very sincerely."
"Such a chimerical idea as telegraphing vocal sounds would indeed, to most minds, seem scarcely feasible enough to spend time in working over. I believe, however, that it is feasible and that I have got the cue to the solution of the problem."
"In this experiment, made on the 9th of October, 1876, actual conversation, backwards and forwards, upon the same line, and by the same instruments reciprocally used, was successfully carried on for the first time upon a real line of miles in length."
"I do not recognize the right of the public to break in the front door of a man's private life in order to satisfy the gaze of the curious... I do not think it right to dissect living men even for the advancement of science. So far as I am concerned, I prefer a post mortem examination to vivisection without anesthetics."
"Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself."
"Educate the masses, elevate their standard of intelligence, and you will certainly have a successful nation."
"The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion."
"A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself."
"Morse conquered his electrical difficulties although he was only a painter, and I don't intend to give in either till all is completed."
"America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men."
"Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids."
"Dumbness comes from the fact that a child is born deaf and that it consequently never learns how to articulate, for it is by the medium of hearing that such instruction is acquired."
"The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world."
"I would impress upon your minds the fact that if you want to do a man justice, you should believe what a man says himself rather than what people say he says."

Are you in a rut with your prayers? It's easy for this to happen. We find ourselves saying the same things to God over and over again. There are besetting sins and the trials of life which we pray about. We pray for family members and friends. And often the things to pray for seem almost identical from day to day.
It has been very helpful to me to use Scripture as a launching pad for my prayers. On my own, I am very limited in creativity and thoughtfulness and memory and insights. But the Word is brimming with expressions that can prompt my praise and confession and thanksgiving and petitions. Especially the Psalms are helpful in this way, for they express the full range of human emotion.
Here is a bit of what I prayed through today in Psalm 4.
Verse 1, "Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!" God, I need You. Please help me. I am crying out to You. I thank You for helping me, saving me, giving me relief when I was in distress. Please hear these prayers for myself, for my family, church, neighbors, friends . . . Please watch over my wife in her pregnancy and labor and delivery, and bless our little baby boy.
Verse 4, "Be angry, and do not sin." God, please help me to have a righteous anger toward the things that anger You. And help me not to be angry at things that are merely competing with my selfish desires.
Verse 7, "You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound." I praise You, God, for giving me gladness in life. I could have all the riches and comforts of the world, but without You I would be miserable.
Verse 8, "In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." Thank You for giving me peace. Help me not to be anxious, but to rest in You. Thank You for the work that Jesus Christ has done on my behalf, so that I do not have to work for my salvation but can rest in Him. As we enter a season of having a new baby, please give my wife and me sleep.
In personal prayer times, in small groups, and in larger corporate prayer gatherings, I can see the benefits of using Scripture as a springboard for our communication with God.
