The Reindersmeer area in Bergen, Netherlands, is a captivating natural landscape that offers a serene escape into nature. Nestled within the De Maasduinen National Park, this region boasts a variety of trails that cater to both casual walkers and avid hikers. One can explore a loop trail that meanders through diverse environments, including forests, lakes, and wildflower-strewn fields, or opt for a shorter loop that still offers stunning views and rich wildlife. The Reindersmeer itself is a testament to nature's adaptability, having transformed from a sand extraction site to a flourishing ecosystem. Visitors can enjoy bird watching from a hide, take a playful break in a designated play forest, or simply relish the tranquility of the lake views. For a unique experience, a draw ferry allows for a charming crossing at the lake's narrowest point. With thoughtful amenities like picnic benches and clear trail markings, the Reindersmeer area is a delightful destination for a day out in the Dutch countryside.

VAâs annual Brain Trust summit offers platform for innovations in brain health and head trauma
From a software platform for traumatic brain injury to a virtual reality device that assists Veterans with behavioral health issues, 15 competitors pitched a diversity of ideas during demo day at the Brain Trust: Pathways to InnoVAtion summit, hosted by VA on May 18 in Boston. The annual two-day event assembled more than 350 invited participants from the federal government, private industry, professional sports, medical research, caregivers and Veteran communities to collaborate and advance discussions around the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion. âWe have an unbelievable opportunity to accelerate the speed of change,â said retired Army Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, CEO of Optum Military and Veterans Group, to the 15 industry and academic innovators who had come to pitch their ideas on TBI and head trauma to a panel of judges. âToday, the impossible gets challenged.âAfter reviewing a series of short presentations from competitors, the judges selected three winners: The Daptly Display, a gesture and voice-controlled assistant for the home or office; Save a Warrior: A peer-to-peer, archetypal approach for healing combat trauma and moral injury; and Recovery Acceleration Program for mild TBI by King-Devick Technologies. The winners will have the potential opportunity to implement and deploy their innovations with VA. âWe feel incredibly honored to be selected as a winner of the VA Innovation awards, which will further our opportunity to provide services to our Veterans,â said Steve Devick, CEO of King-Devick Technologies, who explained how his project would help Veterans impacted by TBI. âThe King-Devick technologies innovations are related to the fact that eye movements and vision are responsible for approximately 55 percent of brain function. âAs a result, implementing our recovery acceleration program by involving these pathways leads to faster concussions and TBI recovery when used with standard remediation. Additionally, caregivers can measure defects in eye movements, which may lead to dosage changes in chronic degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimerâs disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinsonâs disease. â  During the event, VA officials announced key partnerships with several influential organizations, including: Amazon, which donated 100 Echo devices with Alexa voice service to VAâs Assistive Technology Labs to help meet the needs of Veterans; Cohen Veterans Bioscience, which is coordinating efforts with VA to integrate data across dozens of labs to facilitate breakthroughs in trauma-related disorders; Booz Allen Hamilton; Comcast; Concussion Legacy Foundation; GE; IBM; Infinite Hero Foundation; Johnson & Johnson; Optum; Outward Bound; PenFed Foundation, Philips; the Warrior Care Network and the National Institutes of Health, which is co-hosting a âState of the Scienceâ workshop in 2018 that will focus on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases.

December 27, 2018 - "Rising over 700m above the Jordan Valley, Mount Nebo offers spectacular views of the Promised Land as seen by Moses. On the platform at the summit is a modern sculpture by an Italian artist representing Moses' staff and Jesus' words in John 3: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up."
Elements of a triple-apse Byzantine basilica were uncovered by archaeologists in the 1930s, and have been incorporated into the structure of the modern church building, known as the Memorial Church of Moses. The modern additions to the church are very simple, consisting of little more than a shelter over the fascinating excavations and ancient mosaic floors.
Just inside the entrance to the left is the excavated Old Baptistery, which has one of the most interesting ancient mosaics in Jordan. The baptistery and the mosaic can be precisely dated to August 531 thanks to a Greek inscription, which also names the three workers who created it and the bishop at the time (Elias).
The Old Baptistery mosaic is in remarkably pristine condition because another one was laid over it just a few decades later in 597. The underlying mosaic remained hidden for nearly 1,400 years until it was discovered in 1976 when the one on top was removed for restoration (it now hangs on a wall).
The mosaic of 531 is a large square divided into four strips of scenes of men and animals, surrounded by a chain-style border. The top two sections depict fierce hunting scenes: a shepherd fighting a lion, a soldier fighting a lioness, and two horseback hunters defeating a bear and wild boar.
The lower scenes are pastoral but with a touch of the exotic: a shepherd watching his goat and sheep graze in the shade of trees; an ostrich on a leash held by a dark-skinned man; and a boy holding the leashes of a zebra and a spotted animal that looks very much like a camel but might be intended to represent a giraffe.
There are more mosaics in the nave and side aisles of the church, including some fragments of the 597 mosaic pavement. The oldest mosaic in the church is a braided cross displayed on the south wall.
Also hanging here are mosaics of animals from the Church of George in Mukhayyat. One of these is from 536 and has an inscription that some believe is the earliest example of Arabic script in Jordan (others argue it is old Aramaic).
In the far right-hand corner of the church is the New Baptistery (597 AD), which was previously a funerary chapel. It includes a small mosaic originally from the threshold bearing the greeting, "Peace to all."
Next to the New Baptistry, a lovely mosaic cross from the original 4th-century church stands on a modern altar in its original location. A photograph of the Pope praying at the same altar is proudly displayed.
Next to the exit door is the Theotokos Chapel, added in the 7th century where three rooms of the monastery previously stood. Its apse has a mosaic of a square object that may be a ciborium (vessel for the Eucharist) or altar canopy, accompanied by bulls and gazelles. The floor of the chapel is paved with mosaics of plants and flowers." Previous text from the following website: www.sacred-destinations.com/jordan/mount-nebo

Make use of the options provided by these low, two-hole cabochons, supplement them with PRECIOSA Rocailles in a suitable color or combine them with other popular shapes, such as PRECIOSA Twin™ or PRECIOSA Solo™, and create an elegant fashion accessory.

After everything had quieted down, Marcus Sureshot, William, Harald, and the mysterious man made camp on the far side of the river. While William and Harald kept watch, Marcus started a conversation.
"So, who are you, and what was going on back there?"
The man frowned, "I'm just one of many traders on this river. Just my luck to catch some bandits."
Unsatisfied, Marcus pressed on, "Why would they target your barge?"
"Somebody must have tipped them off," grunted the man.
"By the way, what is your name?"
"Charles of Lenfald."
"Really? A fellow Lenfel. How encouraging," smiled Marcus, "I'm Marcus Sureshot, my friends are William and Harald."
"Pleased to meet you all, you came in the nick of time," thanked Charles.
"Not soon enough to save your friend, I'm afraid," apologized Marcus.
"Regrettable, but the blame rests on me," rebutted Charles, "the boy was too eager."
"Now," he continued, "As the last hour has proven, I am in need of protection. I would also like to reward you."
"We can protect you," said Marcus, "Consider our fee passage on you barge."
"I would be grateful," admitted Charles, "but I must reward you further. Thus, some of the gold I am transporting will go to you and your men at the end of the voyage, in Grahnhaven."
"You are too kind," blushed Marcus,"I will accept your gift."
With that, the two of them shook hands and set about preparing their camp for the night.

VAâs annual Brain Trust summit offers platform for innovations in brain health and head trauma
From a software platform for traumatic brain injury to a virtual reality device that assists Veterans with behavioral health issues, 15 competitors pitched a diversity of ideas during demo day at the Brain Trust: Pathways to InnoVAtion summit, hosted by VA on May 18 in Boston. The annual two-day event assembled more than 350 invited participants from the federal government, private industry, professional sports, medical research, caregivers and Veteran communities to collaborate and advance discussions around the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion. âWe have an unbelievable opportunity to accelerate the speed of change,â said retired Army Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, CEO of Optum Military and Veterans Group, to the 15 industry and academic innovators who had come to pitch their ideas on TBI and head trauma to a panel of judges. âToday, the impossible gets challenged.âAfter reviewing a series of short presentations from competitors, the judges selected three winners: The Daptly Display, a gesture and voice-controlled assistant for the home or office; Save a Warrior: A peer-to-peer, archetypal approach for healing combat trauma and moral injury; and Recovery Acceleration Program for mild TBI by King-Devick Technologies. The winners will have the potential opportunity to implement and deploy their innovations with VA. âWe feel incredibly honored to be selected as a winner of the VA Innovation awards, which will further our opportunity to provide services to our Veterans,â said Steve Devick, CEO of King-Devick Technologies, who explained how his project would help Veterans impacted by TBI. âThe King-Devick technologies innovations are related to the fact that eye movements and vision are responsible for approximately 55 percent of brain function. âAs a result, implementing our recovery acceleration program by involving these pathways leads to faster concussions and TBI recovery when used with standard remediation. Additionally, caregivers can measure defects in eye movements, which may lead to dosage changes in chronic degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimerâs disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinsonâs disease. â  During the event, VA officials announced key partnerships with several influential organizations, including: Amazon, which donated 100 Echo devices with Alexa voice service to VAâs Assistive Technology Labs to help meet the needs of Veterans; Cohen Veterans Bioscience, which is coordinating efforts with VA to integrate data across dozens of labs to facilitate breakthroughs in trauma-related disorders; Booz Allen Hamilton; Comcast; Concussion Legacy Foundation; GE; IBM; Infinite Hero Foundation; Johnson & Johnson; Optum; Outward Bound; PenFed Foundation, Philips; the Warrior Care Network and the National Institutes of Health, which is co-hosting a âState of the Scienceâ workshop in 2018 that will focus on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The Ring Road (Route 1) goes around the outskirts of Iceland and offers an amazing amount of versatility and beauty in its landscapes.
These were some amazing lava fields on the Ring Road in between Vik and Kirkjubæjarklaustur. The mossy rocks were beautiful and incredibly soft to the touch. We were completely blown away by the diversity of landscapes on this drive.
From "Mountain Taxi," an Icelandic Tour Service:
Despite the fact that Iceland is made purely of lava, only about 12% of the country’s surface is classified as lava fields. By that we mean post-glacial surface lava in its original state, not eroded by glacier ice, rivers or other natural forces.
The oldest lava fields date back to the end of the ice age, others are only a few years old and still warm under the surface.

Nacho Perro is a very hairy hairless Chinese crested dog. (12 weeks Old)
As with many breeds there is some dispute over the origins of the Chinese Crested Dog. However, it is almost certain that despite its name, the Chinese Crested Dog did not originate in China. Until very recently the two most popular theories had the Chinese Crested originating in either Africa or South America. On both continents there are similar primitive type dogs. In South and Central America in particular there are a couple of hairless breeds that share very similar morphology to the Chinese Crested, and it is not inconceivable that the Crested and these other hairless breeds share a similar ancestry.
Recent genetic research has isolated the mutation responsible for the hairless characteristics in all three identified hairless breeds (the Crested, the Peruvian Inca Dog, and the Xoloitzcuintli from Mexico) and the mutation is identical in all three. This leads researchers to conclude that these breeds must share a common origin. As there are artifacts in Mexico that date back 4,000 years that depict hairless dogs looking remarkably like modern Xolos it would be hard to argue that Mexico is not the wellspring for the hairless family of dogs including the Crested.
It is still unclear as to how the Crested variety of these hairless breeds managed to leave its Central American ancestral lands. It is believed they were used aboard merchant ships as ratters, and it is conceivable that once acquired by traders along the Mexican coast, they would have been traded at any and all subsequent sea ports, obscuring their true Mexican origins. Apparently, and here is where the Chinese connection comes in, they were not uncommon on board Chinese merchant trading vessels, but were first identified in their modern form in Europe and attributed to Chinese origin in the late 18th Century - although by then specimens of the breed could be found world-wide.
This ship's ratter theory of their original purpose certainly seems plausible. As hairless dogs they would offer no place to hide for hungry rat borne fleas. The fleas would have trouble taking hold and be easy to see and remove - and, as a vermin free hairless dog offers warm comfort under the blankets on cold nights - they would have been a much sought after living "hot water bottle" that never needs to be refilled on cold cross ocean voyages. In a pinch they could also be eaten - and there are contemporary stories that indicate that indeed they were. It is believed that these ship dogs were larger than our current toy version of the breed..
