While Rainbow Six recruits specialists from around the world, I’d guess no one else has seen as much of the world on their own as she has.

It would be interesting to see them working together again under different circumstances. įirst deployed to the Fortress at the start of her military career, she did extensive training under the leadership of Specialist Jalal El Fassi. Truth be told, I’m envious of her spirit. She certainly doesn’t do things the easy way… her drawing are her photographs. Bragging seems antithetical to her and I think that it somehow diminishes her own sense of accomplishment when she has to talk about it. She claims that anyone can develop her survivalist and planning skills with experience, but she’s being genuinely modest. In fact, the first time I encountered Specialist El Maktoub’s name was through a research paper about military fitness assessments. Specialist El Maktoub possesses unmatched resilience to survive the elements, and her endurance is famous within military circles.

Today, the Placerita Canyon State Park sits on land once owned by the homesteading Walker family, which had come from the French Alps.

In Southern California, many descendants of Californios, the Spanish-Mexican aristocracy who had ruled during California's colonial days, attempted to recover their families' lost fortunes through homesteading. The Homestead Act was the most sweeping act of American social policy before the Social Security Act/New Deal, and it fulfilled an earlier Jeffersonian vision of a more egalitarian society based on universal property ownership," Sides says. "Homesteading was a tough way to live, nothing romantic about it, but it gave many struggling Americans as well as recent immigrants from Ireland, Germany and Mexico an opportunity to own land.

People don't change merely because someone points out their problems. These kinds of stories energize readers, listeners and viewers. They'd have more impact if they also reported on how some schools are educating all their students, and how they are achieving this. ![]() Education reporters, for example, produce hard-hitting stories about how public schools are failing poor children. Revealing problems is crucial, of course-but that impact is magnified if alongside the problems, we report on how people are solving them. But uncovering wrongdoing isn’t the only way to have an impact. Many of us became journalists because we want to have an impact, to make the world better. If we only cover the systemic problems in schools, for instance, and ignore the models that are working to improve education, we are not telling the whole story. If we fail to cover the many ways people and institutions are trying to solve problems-successful or not-we fail to do our jobs. As journalists, our job is to hold up an accurate mirror to society. The new thinking: we compromise our professionalism by not covering solutions. The old thinking: we might compromise our professionalism by covering solutions.

The dogs were also used in hunting game, especially prey that climbed trees like raccoons and squirrels. Pioneers used these dogs to guard their family as well as their belongings and property. It is also possible that other European dogs were mated to native Indian Curs, most especially the Beauceron, to give the Mountain Cur its remarkable herding abilities. The hounds provided the Curs with exceptional scenting abilities while terriers gave them tenacity and grit. The initial lines are all over the Appalachian Mountains. Many dog aficionados consider the Mountain Cur as the first American purebred. It’s a sordid combination, but one that produced an off-beat kind of dog that was fully capable of adjusting to the ways of life of both the Pioneers and the native Indians. These European dogs were mated with Indian Curs. Let’s learn more about the enigmatic Mountain Cur.Įuropean immigrants brought with them scent hounds and terriers when they moved to the United States and settled in the mountainous regions of Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, and Kentucky sometime in the 18th century. This American breed has been around longer than many of the more popular ones, always working for its family and cherishing every moment it spends with them. We’re pretty sure this is also the first time you’ve heard of such a breed. There are dog breeds that may not be very popular but are, nevertheless, the perfect fit for a certain type of family. ![]() ![]() ![]() It expertly cradles my body and offers just the right amount of contour and support to relieve pressure and leave me feeling refreshed and well-rested in the morning. In the morning, there is no indent where either my partner or I have been sleeping. It's very supportive and doesn't sink down much. I've slept on this mattress for four months now, and, as it turns out, I find the firmness level incredibly comfortable. However, the website noted that the Chill Memory Foam was best for side sleepers, which I am, and the cooling cover intrigued me, so I decided to give it a try. Given that the Cocoon Chill Memory Foam mattress is memory foam and rated medium-firm by the company, I had some initial misgivings about whether or not I would find the mattress comfortable. My previous mattress was a traditional spring mattress that was quite firm and I tend to sleep very hot. The mattress rolled out easily in under a minute. However, the edge support left much to be desired, and while the motion isolation was a major step up from my previous traditional coil mattress, it wasn't perfect.ĭespite these cons, after four months of sleeping on the Chill Memory Foam, I find that I sleep soundly and wake up feeling refreshed. The cooling cover delivered on its chill name and dissipated heat well throughout the night, making it one of the best cooling mattresses for hot sleepers like me. ![]() I found that the medium-firm memory foam was incredibly comfortable and offered good support and contouring without much sinkage. ![]() I tested out a Queen-sized Chill Memory Foam mattress, which currently runs $699 and is the more affordable of the two. So far, Cocoon has just two mattress options: the Chill Memory Foam mattress, which is an all memory foam option, and the Chill Hybrid, which includes a layer of responsive coils. However, it only got in on the rising popularity of the mattress in a box movement a few years ago, when it launched Cocoon by Sealy. Sealy has long been a well-known player in the best mattress space. For me, that meant going on the hunt for the best cheap mattress I could find. After buying a new home, my husband and I were looking to furnish our new space efficiently and inexpensively. ![]() ![]() If you’ve previously done work on your website’s organic SEO, you’ll probably already be familiar with Google Search Console.

Other search engines using Bing’s infrastructure include Yahoo and the privacy-focussed DuckDuckGo, which, together with Bing itself, make up 6.2% of the UK market share, which equates to a lot of people. With fewer businesses optimising for lesser-used search engines, there will be less competition on Ecosia and your site may rank higher in the resultsĮcosia uses Microsoft Bing’s search engine infrastructure, so to help your website rank higher on Ecosia, you’ll actually need to optimise your website for Bing.Īnd it’s not just Ecosia.Searchers who value their online privacy may prioritise using Ecosia.Climate-conscious people may choose to use Ecosia instead of Google. ![]() However, as a sustainable web design agency, we believe SEO should be about finding the right audience, not just a bigger one, and ethical, eco-conscious businesses can gain a lot from optimising for Ecosia.ĭespite the much smaller market share ( at 0.23%), it’s worth considering that: Given its relatively small share of the search engine market, you might wonder if it’s worth investing the time and effort into optimising your website for Ecosia.
