Made up of two islands and a couple of offshore blips, Guadeloupe's soft fringes, turquoise sea and mountainous flanks are some of the most beautiful in the Caribbean.
LEVEL flies direct between Paris (Orly) and Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe 4 times per week. Book your place now.
On both sides of Pointe des Châteaux, Grande-Terre's most easterly point, are a few beaches that are perfect for a secluded day on the sand. For a drink and a burger or kebab, head for the brightly-painted Le Snack at Anse à la Gourde. But don't forget the beaches of Basse-Terre. The island's best is Grande Anse, a kilometre of sugary orange sand and emerald water where you can enjoy a more formal meal at l'Ôtentik.
Jacques Cousteau, father of scuba, developed his love of sports diving off the west coast of Basse-Terre, where the drop-offs are as steep as the mountains on land. At the Cousteau Reserve at Malendure there are snorkel tours and scuba trips to see angel fish, squirrel fish and trunk fish darting through the waters around Pigeon Island.
At the Damoiseau distillery, a working factory in Le Moule in Grande-Terre, you will catch the heady scents of distillation, from crushed sugar-cane grass to evaporating alcohol. They create white, aged and golden rums from rhum agricole, made from cane juice. The story of cocoa is also well told at the Maison du Cacao in Pointe-Noire on Basse-Terre – where cocoa trees were cultivated in the mountains above – from Mayan times to early European chocolate cafés.
The liveliest spot on the island is around the Marina in Gosier (on the south coast of Grande-Terre) overlooking the waterfront. Start out at Zoo Rock Café for early evening drinks, and move on for a crepe at Le Pam Pam or to La Voile Blanche for something more gourmet. If you want to savour the island rhythm, known as zouk, head for l'Appart 971 in Jarry for some live music.
Don't forget Guadeloupe's offshore blips. Reached by ferry for a day trip, the prettiest of these are the Saints, where you will arrive among anchored yachts in a sunken (dormant) volcanic crater. Beneath a tiny sugarloaf mountain, Terre-de-Haut is a charming town, but take your swimming costumes because the Plage de Pompierre, just a walk away, is one of the loveliest on the islands.

Cristóbal Manuel de Villena y Melo de Portugal (n. Badajoz, España, 1800) fue el VI Conde de Vía Manuel, XIV Señor de Cheles y II Barón del Monte desde 1817 hasta 1834. Era miembro de la poderosa casa de Manuel de Villena y estaba emparentado con los reyes de Portugal por medio de los Melo de Portugal.

Biografía

Desde su nacimiento se lo proclamó continuador del linaje real de los Manuel de Villena y heredero de sus posesiones. Fue el único hijo nacido del matrimonio entre el Conde de Vía Manuel José Manuel de Villena y Fernández de Córdoba y la Marquesa de Rafal María del Pilar Melo de Portugal y Heredia.

En 1817 fallecía su padre, el Conde José Manuel de Villena y Fernández de Córdoba, tomando Cristóbal posesión de sus pertenencias y convirtiéndose en Conde de Vía Manuel y Señor de Cheles, con 17 años de edad. También recibió ese mismo año por cesión de su madre la baronía del Monte, pasando a ser su II Barón.

Fernando VII lo nombró Gentilhombre de Cámara del Rey con ejercicio y servidumbre.

En 1822 se desposó con María Esperanza de Bambalere y Olmos a los 22 años. De este matrimonio nacieron tres hijos, siendo José Casimiro Manuel de Villena y Bambalere como primogénito el heredero de la Casa de Manuel de Villena y futuro heredero de la de Melo de Portugal, en un principio por detrás de su padre y posteriormente como heredero directo de la Casa de Manuel de Villena.

En 1831 cuando Cristóbal tenía 31 años, falleció su tío Vicente Melo de Portugal y Heredia, Marqués de Rafal, Conde de Granja de Rocamora, Barón de Puebla de Rocamora y Grande de España. Al no tener descendencia, la siguiente en la lista de sucesión de la Casa de Melo de Portugal era María del Pilar, madre de Cristóbal, que pasó a ser la nueva Marquesa y demás títulos a partir de 1831 y que por lo tanto, el conde pasaba a ser la persona sobre la que iba a recaer en un futuro la doble herencia, la de las Casas de Manuel de Villena y de los Melo de Portugal.

En 1833 murió Fernando VII dando paso a la Primera Guerra Carlista y Cristóbal, como Brigada de los Reales Ejércitos entró en la contienda del lado de los Isabelinos. Al año siguiente en 1834, fue trasladado a Navarra durante el transcurso de la guerra, partiendo desde Aragón bajo las órdenes del Barón de Carondelet, sobrino del General Castaños. En la acción de las Peñas de San Fausto, Cristóbal salvó a su comandante preparándole la huida a precio de caer prisionero, apresado por el General Carlista Tomás de Zumalacárregui. Este General propone un intercambio y así se lo comunica a Carlos María Isidro de Borbón, pretendiente carlista al Trono de España, a lo que el Borbón se niega argumentando que los Liberales habían fusilado al Coronel Díaz. Finalmente Tomás de Zumalacárregui ordenó su ejecución, producida en la villa navarra de Aranaz donde fue fusilado a los 34 años el 26 de agosto de 1834.

Fue nombrado miembro de la Cámara de Próceres del Reino, no pudiendo tomar posesión del cargo por encontrarse combatiendo.

Su primogénito, José Casimiro, pasaba de esta forma a sus 11 años a ser el nuevo Conde de Vía Manuel, Barón del Monte y Señor de Cheles, además de ser el heredero inmediato del marquesado de Rafal y sus posesiones.

Matrimonio y descendencia

De su matrimonio con María Esperanza de Bambalere y Olmos nacieron tres hijos:

 José Casimiro Manuel de Villena y Bambalere XI Marqués de Rafal, VII Conde de Vía Manuel, VIII Conde de Granja de Rocamora, XI Barón de Puebla de Rocamora, III Barón del Monte, XV Señor de Cheles y I Señor de Pizarra

Abdul Karim flags off inaugural D'Drift trip
Abdul Karim (third left) and Isuzu Malaysia Sdn Bhd manager (Fleet and Vehicle Sales – East Malaysia) Andrew Law (second left) flagging off the D'Drift team at DayakDaily's office today (June 29, 2020).
KUCHING, June 29: Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah flagged off DayakDaily's inaugural Adventure Programme known as D'Drift today.
Abdul Karim commended the online news publication's efforts in promoting eco-tourism and organising a trip to the interior to showcase more about tourism in Sarawak.
"I have to applaud the efforts by DayakDaily in coming up with this D'Drift expedition.
"Sarawak has got so much to offer especially when it comes to eco-tourism.
"Our efforts are to build up confidence towards our own local tourism products.
"This is where the media plays a very big role in promoting, showcasing what are the products.
"The best (people) who can write about (tourism) are the media people.
"That's why I am very encouraged to hear that DayakDaily has made this effort to go down to the ground and be there themselves," he said during a press conference before flagging off the members of the D'Drift at the online news publication office here today.
He said that one of the amazing places to be visited by D'Drift is Gunung Buda National Park in Limbang which has breathtaking scenery similar to Mount Mulu National Park.
Abdul Karim believed Gunung Buda National Park could be more beautiful than Mount Mulu National Park and served as another attractive tourist destination.
Meanwhile, D'Drift is part of DayakDaily's corporate social responsibility (CSR) event whereby reporters will interview the people in the interior and be a voice for those who are seldom featured by the mainstream media.
Its reporters will go from one rural town to another and from one remote settlement to another to highlight their uniqueness, peculiarities as well as their gloomy plights and the neglected basic needs there.
The Tourism Ministry as one of the sponsors of the event has requested DayakDaily to do a preliminary introduction to three amazing new tourism destinations in Sarawak that have yet to be opened up to the global market.
DayakDaily said the three tourism destinations are located in Serian, Baram and Limbang.
For D'Drift, the 10-day adventure programme from June 29 to July 8 will involve a road trip from Kuching to Limbang.
The team consisted of three members namely Lian Cheng, Peter Sibon and Karen Bong will not just explore destinations in Kuching to Limbang but write a feature story each to highlight the lifestyle of the people living in small towns and those in rural settlements. —DayakDaily

A few weeks ago, I posted in the PokéTalk forums asking you for topics for AOTW. A few folks responded, and this week we're analyzing the first of your requests! If you played Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, then you probably hurried your way to a GameStop last year to snag yourself some certain lustrous legendaries in hopes of cashing them in in Black and White for a Zoroark of your very own. Well, the figment-forming fox pokémon is privy to an Ability of its very own, and today we're picking apart his prestidigitation! This is Ability of the Week: Illusion!
As I said, Illusion was introduced in generation five, and is the signature Ability of the Zoroark evolutionary family, who are the only pokémon that may use it. Illusion is similar to Imposter, in that it automatically changes the pokémon using it into another monster. But, unlike Imposter, Illusion doesn't Transform Zoroark, it only puts up a façade of one of your other pokémon. Before Zoroark even enters the battle, it copies the physical appearance of the pokémon you have in your sixth pokéball holster, and even mirrors their pokéball. The Illusioned pokémon will not copy moves, weaknesses, or Abilities, but simply replicate the appearance of the monster it's mimicking. The Illusion will last until your monster receives damage from a direct attack from the opponent.
So, what's the benefit to Illusion? From this editorialist's point of view, it's mostly for the lulz. In a VS battle, your opponent gets to see your party beforehand, so they're going to know you're packing a Zoroark. If you're playing a 3V3, it's almost a better strategy to just play with your opponent's expectations and not use Zoroark. Then, they're going to be throwing out Fighting or Bug moves in hopes of one-shotting the Illusioned monster. The other possibility is to pack moves onto your Zoroark that don't telegraph that it actually is Zoroark. If we look at its move list, Zoroark has access to Flamethrower, Toxic, Aerial Ace, Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, and a few other non-STAB moves that could potentially mislead an opponent, particularly if you have another pokémon on your team that has access to one or more of those moves (like Alakazam, for example).
As far as exclusive Abilities go, the Illusion Fox Pokémon and his kid brother's signature passive power feels like a lot of talk, but not much action. If you can find a way to viably integrate it into your battle strategy, kudos to you. I don't think it's going to win you too many competitive matches, but at least you'll be having some fun with it!


Life changes every minute of every day. You lose friends. You gain friends. You realize your friend wasn't ever really your friend. And that person you used to hate can make a really good friend. You look for love. You find love. You lose love. You realize that all along you've been loved. You laugh. You cry. You laugh so hard that you cry. You do this. You do that. You really wish you hadn't done that. You learn from that and are glad that you did. You have your ups. You have your downs. You see good movies. You see bad movies. You look at others and wish you were them. You then realize who they are and are glad that you're you. You love life. You hate life. In the end, you just find yourself to be living life no matter what's thrown at you.

Blairite coup in Labour Party Irish Society
The Clarion editors October 27, 2017 October 27, 2017 Ireland, Labour, Labour democracy, Online content
By Liam McNulty (Hornsey and Wood Green CLP, Noel Park branch chair – pc)
The Annual General Meeting of the Labour Party Irish Society on 25th October has been mired in controversy, after many LPIS members have complained of widespread irregularities.
A mid-week meeting held in Westminster at 6:30pm was always going to be an issue for those not working in central London. The venue, Portcullis House in Westminster, compounded the problems, as it is well-known that security checks at the entrance can take time, especially in busy periods.
Despite instituting an electronic RSVP system which predicted a large turnout for the AGM, the AGM was held in the Grimond Room in Portcullis House, which has a capacity of 70. The meeting spilled over to a nearby room but still members were queuing outside.
This could all be explained away, potentially, as an unfortunate logistical problem if it were not for the blatantly partisan way in which some sections of the LPIS used the situation to their political advantage.
Joining the queue at 5:45pm, I saw some arrivals being cherry-picked and brought to the front of the queue or in through other entrances. Worse, at one point, Stephen Pound MP came outside Portcullis House and told those in the queue that the AGM had been cancelled. Many people left at this point, as only those who knew people inside the meeting already were able to verify that it was still on. Both of these factors meant that the AGM was dominated by people who worked in Parliament, including several Progress-aligned MPs such as Chuka Ummuna and Stella Creasy, staffers and political advisers. A less representative AGM it would be difficult to imagine.
After I finally got through security after about an hour, I arrived outside the Grimond Room only to be informed that I was not allowed in. Even though I had been nominated from the floor as a candidate for the LPIS committee, I was not allowed in to address the meeting and speak to my nomination about why I was standing and what I wanted to do if elected. At one point, the organisers called the police, who ran up to the room, asking if there had been a "disturbance". There hadn't been but, when the police were informed that candidates for election had been denied entry, even they sought to remedy the situation and gain admission for legitimately nominated candidates. It comes to something at a labour movement event when the Met are amongst those showing the more democratic instincts!
A number of other left candidates were also denied entry. This was despite comrades inside the room offering to leave to make room for me. Indeed, candidates seated in the second room were brought in to the first room to address the AGM, so there was really no problem with capacity in that regard. Candidates could have simply addressed the meeting from the front and then left again. I was told later that when it was pointed out I was still outside, heckles included "why did he not arrive on time?" despite me arriving nearly an hour early. Perhaps next year I will try to get a job in Parliament!
The Labour Party National Executive Committee should investigate urgently how the LPIS AGM was conducted. It is clear to me that if the LPIS wants to retain any credibility as an affiliated socialist society, the AGM should be re-run in an appropriately-sized and accessible venue, in which there is time to carry out proper checks to ensure that all those voting are paid-up members of the society, and that all paid-up members who wish to attend and vote are able to.
Here is an excerpt from the speech I was not allowed to give:
"I am standing for the position of Community Liaison on the following principles.
"When James Connolly founded the Irish Socialist Federation in New York in 1908, he declared that: 'To the capitalist organisation of Irish-American we will oppose a socialist organisation of Irish-America.'
"That was because the Home Rule party drew much of its financial support from what John Redmond revealing called 'the better class of Irish men' – the very same who exploited Irish workers and who broke strikes. Connolly was not interested in a cross-class alliance, reconciling labour and capital, on the basis of a shared Irishness.
"The Labour Party Irish Society must, of course, be a crucial link between the Irish diaspora and the Labour Party. But our focus should be on integrating Irish workers living here in to the labour movement, and forging links between workers' organisations in both countries: standing side by side with those opposing austerity, not imposing it; standing with those fighting for reproductive rights, not those denying them…
"If elected, I would push for active support for movements like Repeal the 8th as we approach the referendum next year.
"I would continue LPIS's work in opposing a hard Brexit, which could leave Irish people in Britain in limbo, and copper-fasten partition on the island of Ireland.
"Finally, LPIS has a big role to play in this decade of centenaries. We've had the Dublin Lock-Out and the Easter Rising but next year is 150 years since Connolly was born, and the centenary of the Irish general strike against conscription and the December 1918 General Election, to name but a few.
"LPIS should be a place for political education, and collective discovery of our historical past, and the history and traditions of Irish people in the labour movement."
Previous A living, breathing party – ideas for a democratic Labour Party
Next Motion on nationalising the banks passed at Young Labour policy conference
Danny Nicol says:
Sounds dreadful.
Pity the author claims to support socialism and oppose capitalism, and yet opposes hard Brexit. Pure humbug. Membership of the single market will make unlawful nationalisation of the gas, electricity, postal, telecommunications and railway sectors by dint of the liberalisation directives. It will also outlaw nationalisation of any company based in other Member States of the European Economic Area in any other sector we wish to nationalise, e.g. banking or pharmaceuticals by dint of the Treaty right of freedom of establishment for corporations. In other words single market membership makes socialism unlawful. By contrast he says hard Brexit "could leave Irish people in limbo", whatever that means. We are expected to embrace permanent capitalism because of some speculative and vague worry. It's the usual right wing tactic: bung in any fear to preserve capitalism's security of tenure.

Not bad, I would say that the second disc drags a little, but if you get through that you are ok. The combat footage is well-done but the night scenes are confusing...of course night combat is confusing (or so I've read, never being within an Imperial Mile of a recruiting station myself, much less ever being in combat!)
WinstonO Sep 15, 2018
Over the 5 discs you get to know 3 US Marines and some of the other men unit. The Marines portrayed are based on real life Marines and what transpired during their time in the Pacific. The unit is shown in the many battles against the Japanese as they island hop. Other than the fighting, they deal with the death of fellow soldiers, low food and ammo supplies and medical maladies. There is very little actual footage intermixed but the narration by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks helps smooth over thin areas.
It's very representative of a collaboration of Spielberg & Hanks. Most of what I saw, I had seen in other movies but it was still good to watch.
pierce_b Jul 12, 2017
After watching the movie series which is superb I might add I read the book portrayed of one of the lead characters in the movie name Eugene Sledge.
I've read many books about World War 2 and Eugene Sledge's book was the most valued bringing his story from getting into the marine corp, basic training and finally off into a transport ship to a tiny island name Peleliu. Thank God I did not live in that era and be shipped off to do battle against the Japanese. These people were vicious and cruel, it was nothing short of a miracle that Eugene didn't get killed in battle as later he went to Iwo Jima.
Great movie series and excellent book you won't be disappointed.

Apple to orange comparison to Band of Brothers.
High production value & realism showed.
johncruse Jun 27, 2015
NOT REALISTIC. I WAS IN THE INFANTRY. DURING MY SERVICE I ONLY KNEW ONE WEAK NERD. THE SQUAD LEADERS WERE ALWAYS YELLING "SPREAD OUT". SUCH GROUPING WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BECAUSE OF THE DRASTICALLY INCREASED CASUALTIES THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED.
mexicanadiense Oct 07, 2013
"The Pacific" weathers the inevitable comparisons to "Band of Brothers" well, and has apparently served to launch (or relaunch) the careers of a number of decent young actors. Some episodes are more gripping than others, but well worth checking out on the whole.
ceedeegee57 Oct 22, 2012
Wonderfully even and accurate (as far as my research can tell me) recreation of some of the Pacific campaign. These are the same folks who made "Band Of Brothers" so comparisons are inevitable, but largely useless and unenlightening. The pacific campaign was vastly different from the war in Europe and so in style and content is this series. Excellent cast (Joe Mazello the boy from Jurassic Park grew up into a handsome young man and a fine actor), production values, and strong source material. It won't be easy watching for many- the unthinking hatred for the Japanese is hard to stomach in some senses (Members of my extended family are Japanese), but it's accurate and the Japanese fought a war unlike anything most Americans were prepared for. Fanatical is an appropriate word for how they fought then. Seeing an honest depiction of the past though allows us to recognize it, process it, see it in ourselves and possible even the world today, and just possibly avoid it repeating.
Surprising, moving, intense, painful and even at times joyous, this is excellent television that both entertains, educates, and plants the seeds for growth. Recommended viewing! (Parents should be aware it is violent, but it is also essentially history, teens -with guidance- could benefit from seeing this.)
sdforeman Jun 26, 2012
The gore is intense, but that's to be expected given the nature of the Pacific war. Very moving stories, and the DVD makes you want to read the memoirs of Leckie and Sledge. It makes you realize the sacrifice that generation gave to make the world free.

Easy Cleaning Hacks For Shiny, Happy Shoes!
Blissful were those days when you only had to worry about polishing your school shoes to avoid detention at the morning assembly! Even there we had help from our mothers but now that you are an adult, you have to hustle on your own. Cleaning and maintaining shoes are not as complicated as clothes, but they can be sometimes overlooked due to a general lack of interest.
Fortunately, we have a few tricks up our sleeves (or should we say soles) to tackle this issue. Although it is always recommended to protect your shoes with water and dirt repellants, you might face the occasion scuff or dirt mark. There are a few simple life hacks available for such an event and also some ways you can clean them up so good they end up looking brand new! Read on to find out more.
Toothpaste isn't just meant for those pearly white smiles! You can use a non-gel-based white toothpaste to clean your sneakers and canvas shoes. Using a brush rub a blob of toothpaste all over your shoes, rinse with clean water and wipe off dry. You can clean the laces separately by soaking it in a laundry detergent and water.
Suede shoes and heels are very tricky to clean. They cannot be washed as it ruins it's quality over time. For the dust and grime settled on the shoes just wipe away with a dry cloth or soft brush. For the more tougher mud and dirt marks, use a nail file to remove the stain from the shoe.
"You all got baking soda?" Puns apart, your household soda should do the trick for many a DIY cleaning methods. The same goes for shoes, baking soda can be used to clean pretty much any kind of shoe. Either dust it on or mix it with a wet cloth to scrub up a peep toe, this little trick can come in handy when there are no other alternatives.
Your strappy leather heels and flats can lose their shine after a long day out in the open. Wipe away any superficial dust on top off the shoe and gently rub in an oil-free moisturiser. This will instantly get its sheen back and make it looking brand new again!
This is a trick that works like magic! Every woman knows of those esky scuff marks on their sleek patent leather shoes. Just dab some regular petroleum jelly on a cotton swab and rub it on the scuff mark, it disappears in a heartbeat!
6. Deodorise With Tea Bags!
Smelly shoes are a big concern for women, especially the ones they cannot launder. An easy hack to get fresh smelling interiors on your daily loafers is to stick a mint flavoured tea bag in them overnight. The tea bag absorbs the trapped moisture and flavour makes it minty fresh!
Just like baking soda, distilled white vinegar can be used to clean a number of different kinds of shoes. Rub away your patent leather shoes with a water and vinegar mixture or wipe your fabric top slip-ons with a vinegar-soaked cloth. Be caution to always dilute the vinegar properly before using it to clean footwear.


The number of active internet users in Bangladesh increased by 14.04 lakh to 8.45 crore at the end of March this year from 8.31 crore at the end of February this year.
Of the internet users, mobile internet users increased 12.94 lakh to 7.88 crore in March from 7.75 crore a month ago, while broadband users increased by 1.09 lakh to 56.69 lakh in March from 55.6 lakh in February, says the monthly report of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission.
Number of WiMAX subscribers increased by 1,000 to 87,000 in March this year from 86,000 in February.
The Global System for Mobile Communications, an association of mobile phone operators and manufacturers across the country, in a recent report stated that the country's total unique mobile phone subscribers number was 8.5 crore at the end of December 2017, while the number of unique internet users was 3.38 crore at the end of last year.
According to BTRC officials, the commission treats a mobile phone number active when the number was found active once within a period of three months.
The same method was followed for counting active internet subscribers, the officials said.

What is Negative Gearing? How does it affect Investing?
Negative Gearing & Investing - What's it all about?
There has been much news of late about negative gearing, with varying opinions and heated discussions of it in relation to Australian politics. What is it and why does it seem so terrifying? How does it affect investors? In this month's piece, General Manager Lindy Lear, demystifies the nuances behind negative gearing.
What is gearing and opm?
Gearing is when you borrow money to invest with the goal of achieving a capital gain. Only a few people buy property with their own money. Most investors use the principle of borrowing 'other people's money' (OPM). Generally, this will come in the form of the bank's money and using a 10% - 20% deposit. This allows investors to build an asset base using the principle of leverage that can create wealth and a passive income for the future.
Negative Gearing occurs when the costs of owning the property are higher than the rent. Such costs include the interest on loan, rates, insurance, maintenance, strata fees and property management fees. These costs can be quite stressful for investors when they find that the property may be costing them $100 - $200 a week or more to hold.
At tax time, a negative gearing benefit can be claimed against your taxable income. This benefit allows you to claim this as a tax deduction on the loss - so that the costs are minimised by the tax refund received.
Why invest if the property is running at a loss?
Some investors have a taxation strategy and buy negatively geared properties just to get the tax benefits. With this strategy, capital growth potential may be overlooked.
Others have a wealth creation strategy to build an appreciating asset base over time that will deliver capital growth and a passive income, and the tax refunds are not the reason to invest - just an added benefit along the way.
How can you have Positive cashflow and negative gearing?
It may surprise many investors that a negatively geared property does not always have to cost you money. Buying property that has capital growth potential and a positive cashflow after tax benefits is a great strategy that I have used. With two incomes, one from the tenant and one from the taxman, a positive cashflow outcome is very achievable. Once the penny drops on this concept, it opens up a whole new way of thinking about negative gearing!
How to make negative gearing work for you?
Negative gearing can work for you to maximise your tax refund, minimise your holding costs and increase your positive cashflow outcomes. If each property you buy pays for itself with the rent and the tax benefits, your worries over negative gearing and holding costs can disappear. For myself, I have always invested in new properties. See why, in the next section.
So rather than thinking positive or negative gearing - think 'positive cashflow and capital growth' properties. As an investor you want to get to your goals sooner rather than later. Making the most of the negative gearing benefits can have a number of positives for Australian investors, not the least of which is creating a second income stream from the tax refund and having positive cashflow properties. Negative gearing is a great benefit for investors, but not the reason to invest.

When I heard about the subject for this week, I immediately thought of this picture that was captured during Grandma E's funeral service. I love grandpa's old and weathered hand. I love the love of these two old friends as they look so tenderly down at sweet Grandma in her casket. The 93 years of wear on these old hands has quite a story to tell.
Be sure and check out other hand entries over at I Heart Faces.

UFC releases Francis Ngannou; Jon Jones to fight Ciryl Gane for vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285
·Combat columnist

UFC president Dana White said after a fight card Saturday that the promotion released heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou from his contract, and booked Jon Jones against Ciryl Gane on March 4 in the main event of UFC 285 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the vacant heavyweight title.
White said after the UFC Vegas 67 card the UFC had offered Ngannou a contract that would have made him the highest-paid heavyweight in UFC history, but that Ngannou had turned it down. He also said that Ngannou's injured knee still isn't healed and that he wouldn't have been ready to fight in March.
White also said that Jones had signed a new eight-fight deal.
News of the Jones-Gane fight first leaked as a result of the video boards outside of T-Mobile Arena, which were scrolling an ad featuring the bout. White said that was a mistake both by arena officials as well as UFC employees and wasn't supposed to be released when it was.
The board was displaying the UFC ad prior to a Las Vegas Golden Knights' NHL game against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
Ngannou last fought when he scored a decision over Gane on Jan. 22, 2022, in Anaheim, California, at the Honda Center for the undisputed heavyweight title. He said after the fight he had a knee injury, and he had surgery shortly afterward.
"We've been working on a new agreement with Francis for like two years now," White said. " ... We offered Francis a deal that would have made him the highest-paid heavyweight in the history of the company, more than [Brock] Lesnar, more than anybody, and he turned the deal down."
Jones has been training the last several days at Fight Ready MMA in Scottsdale, Arizona, under Henry Cejudo, the former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion. In an interview with Michael Wonsover that was posted on Cejudo's YouTube page, Jones let slip the fight was occurring.
Jones, who is considered by many as the greatest MMA fighter of all time, hasn't fought since defeating Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 on Feb. 8, 2020, in Houston. Jones, who first won the light heavyweight title in 2011, has spoken of his desire to win a heavyweight title as long ago as 2013.
"Absolutely, I'd love to have Henry coaching me for this Ciryl Gane fight," Jones said. "Hopefully our schedules can align and we can get on the same page."
White said Ngannou is free and clear to sign with whatever promotion he chooses. He said there is no matching clause or 90-day window. He's a total free agent.
Neither Ngannou nor his agent, Marquel Martin, could be reached for comment, but White suggested Ngannou wasn't interested in high-level opposition.
"I think Francis is in a place right now where he doesn't want to take a lot of risk," White said. "He feels like he's in a good position where he could fight lesser opponents and make more money. So, we're going to let him do that. We're going to release him from his contract. We're going to give up the right to match and he could go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants."
Ngannou has been one of the most exciting fighters in UFC history and his punching power was unmatched. Ngannou is 17-3 overall in MMA with 12 knockouts and four submissions. He won the heavyweight title for the first time in a rematch with Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 in Las Vegas on March 27, 2021. Miocic had defended his belt successfully when he faced Ngannou in Boston on Jan. 20, 2018, in the main event of UFC 220.
Ngannou regained it in the rematch with a vicious knockout and then defended it against Gane. If Gane is considered a champion, Ngannou defeated five fighters who at one point held the UFC heavyweight title at some point: Gane, who was an interim champion; Miocic; Junior dos Santos; Cain Velasquez and Andrei Arlovski.

The former Ostersunds and Notts County manager was appointed last May to steer Rovers through their debut season in the third tier, but won just five of his 28 league games to prompt owner and chairman Dale Vince to make a change. "I'm grateful to Ian for all his hard work this season, it's definitely not been easy," Vince said in a statement on the club's website. Burchnall, who managed Viking in Norway before replacing Graham Potter at Swedish side Ostersunds in 2018, led Notts County to the Vanarama National League play-offs last season before agreeing to replace Watford-bound Rob Edwards at Forest Green.

Marine Vet Who Stole Pickup to Save Las Vegas Shooting Victims Given New Truck
Taylor Winston saved at least fifteen people in the chaos after last week's horrifying events.

The Marine veteran who stole a pickup to transport wounded concertgoers to safety during last week's horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas has been given a new truck by an Arizona car dealership, according to a video posted to Facebook by ABC 15.
Amid the chaotic aftermath of the massacre at the Route 91 Harvest music festival that left 58 innocent people dead, the story of Taylor Winston's heroics emerged as one of the few bright spots to cling to. The 29-year-old vet, who served two tours in Iraq before being honorably discharged in 2011, helped his friends, girlfriend, and dozens of strangers climb a fence to escape the kill zone before commandeering a nearby pickup to take the wounded to a hospital.
"It was an extended cab and had a long bed. I didn't plan for that. It was a series of fortunate events," he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
With terrified victims crammed in the Chevy Silverado's crew cab and loaded into the bed, Winston made two trips between the hospital and the festival site and rescued an estimated 15-20 people. As people tried to make sense of the shooting and wrap their minds around the dizzying body count, Winston's went viral and attracted the attention of national news organizations—and a used car dealer in Phoenix, Arizona.
Shane Beus, the owner of B5 Motors, told the Arizona Republic that he felt "taken" and inspired when he read about Winston's story and wanted to give him a free truck. After a brief #HelpB5MotorsfindTaylorWinston social media campaign, the two sides were connected at a ceremony on Sunday where the dealership handed over keys to a lightly-customized 2013 Ford F-150.
Winston has reacted to his sudden fame with the same reserve and resolve you'd expect from someone capable of such bravery. He's planning on selling his current truck and donating the money to the victims of the massacre. And he's repeatedly shunned the word "hero," instead focusing on the way everyone else around him banded together to help the wounded.
"I don't even care if it's my story," Winston said. "Just having a positive story on social media in the darkness—it's almost my duty to take charge."

Our  traditional software has a methodology for striping across a number of nodes and we have done that for years.  The new software is different-they will build a 10-12GB sparse file, for instance, and as each of these nodes finish they will update the information in their portion of the file.  the problem is the head node is bragging about doing close to 200MB/sec over NFS while the EMC is telling us it's pushing 25MB/sec.
So if I choose which GFS to test, to my way of thinking, it will need the ability to write to the same file across multiple head nodes.
hmmm...  200 nodes writing to the same file.  That is a hard problem.

Slammed Review
December 18, 2015 cassidygott
book 1 of the Slammed Series
Layken's father died suddenly, leaving her to gather every ounce of strength to be a pillar for her family, in order to prevent their world from falling apart. Now her life is taking another unexpected turn…
Layken's mother gets a job which leads to an unwanted move across the country. However, a new home means new neighbours… and Layken's new neighbour is the very attractive Will Cooper.
Will has an intriguing passion for slam poetry, and a matching passion for life. The two feel an irresistible attraction but are rocked to the core when a shocking revelation brings their romance to a screeching halt. Layken and Will must find a way to fight the forces that threaten to tear them apart…or learn to live without each other.
Here's a good alternative title for Slammed: holy mother of plot twists!
Seriously there were just plot twists left and right throughout this book, it was kind of insane. Yet despite with all of those plot twists, I felt a little disappointed, don't get me wrong, the story was gripping, it clung to me and made me not want to put it down at all. But when I was trying to think about why I liked it so I could write this review I realized that was the case, I liked it. I did not love it.
The poetry aspect of it was awesome, I actually wish there had been more of it, I loved how deeply personal each of the poems were, how they told the story of an event in that person's life. The poems really reached out and helped me connect with the all of the characters and really made me feel for them.
I don't want to reveal the first plot twist, I don't want to reveal any of them so that's going to make this review a little hard but its worth trying. I hated how Layken didn't take a serious matter, a very serious situation with Will very seriously. Yes she's 18 but still if their situation was ever found out there would be massive consequences for Will, and even though he explained some of the big ones to her he left out the most serious ones that I personally would have lead with. But even with the consequences that she did know, she still pushed him and the limits and that really irritated me, I feel like if she really loved him she should have accepted that this can't happen and move on, but she never did. She kind of tried a few times, but I do feel like she never put any effort into it.
I was quite annoyed with Will at times, I applauded how he was aware of the consequences that he would face but at the same time he kept slipping up, kept drawing Layken closer then pushing her away, I realize how that makes it difficult for her to move on but I feel like there could have been more effort on both of their parts. I have to wonder though if their love was worth it to them.
Despite all of my complaining about the things I didn't like, there was something that I really enjoyed about the book, a little something that I can't quite put my finger on.
Colleen Hoover does that to me, her stories stay with me, take Ugly Love, for example, I thought the book was okay, I didn't love it, but I also didn't hate it, but the other day I found myself thinking about it so I downloaded the audio book so I could reread it. I can't explain the spell that Colleen Hoover casts over me and I will continue to be a faithful reader.

Play-to-Earn Hunting Metaverse Built on
By GlobeNewswire On Feb 13, 2022
New York, NY, Feb. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Metashooter: Play-to-Earn Hunting Metaverse Built on Cardano team is pleased to announce the giant strides it has taken to take its play-to-earn hunting metaverse to another level. Offering the players amazing features and incentives that will make their participation on its platform worthwhile. Currently, there is no such competition for this hunting metaverse right now, especially for the Cardano blockchain users. It is a very unique opportunity for the users to be part of.
While playing the MetaShooter game, hunters have features that include:
Hunters aren't stuck with hunting equipment or two. Rather, they have several options to choose from to improve their skills and become stronger and exceptional.
In the MetaShooter, you can expand your business by purchasing hunting lands, building towers, breeding NFT dogs, and generally growing your passive income while entertaining yourself with the best available games on the platform.
Impressive hunters who meet their goals are rewarded for completing trophy collections or hunting rare animals. The more trophies you win or rare animals you hunt, the more your rewards.
Exploration Opportunities
Hunters can also open the world by utilizing their hunting tools to their full potential. They can travel across an expanse of hunting areas in search of trophies. Without a barrier or location restrictions, they have what it takes to excel.
The team is pleased to also announce the release of the game teaser. Prospective users can watch the Sneak Peak on its official YouTube channel. Users can enjoy the beautiful hunting landscape, refreshing waterfalls, and a collection of animals to hunt to boost your chances of winning rewards and trophies.
Equipment Marketplace
MetaShooter explained why it chose to combine two multi-billion dollar industries, hunting and blockchain. According to the team, "One of the goals of our team is to create a game that bridges the worlds of crypto and non-crypto. MetaShooter aims to modernize the hunting industry, which is a massive but niche market in the same way."
The team promised to prioritize their players over anything else. It added: "We will make a major step by bringing a massive amount of traditional gamers into the crypto world and one of the reasons for this is that we put our players first."
Two partnerships have recently been announced, one is backed by Animoca Brands, in support of the innovative hunting expenditure. The team is looking forward to more partnerships as the game gains global recognition and acceptance.
TO intimate the general public and interested members of the cryptocurrency space who may like to showcase their hunting skills with the project's development, MetaShooter's CEO, Rokas E, went live and started weekly AMA sessions where he, alongside his team, will answer questions relating to the project and give helpful updates.
Seed Sales
The MetaShooter team started the seed sale recently. According to the team, seed sale is halfway done as more interested parties expressed their interest in the seed and more importantly, in the hunting opportunity.

Australia has implemented some major changes to the 457 employer sponsored visa program beginning July 1. As such, overseas skilled workers should be aware of the changes with the 457 visa and their overall effects. By knowing such information, being sponsored to Australia as a foreign worker will be easier and keep you better informed about your rights.
There was controversy surrounding the subclass 457 visa program during the first quarter of 2013 due to claims of rorting made known to the government. According to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, a percentage of employers have been using the 457 visa to acquire cheap foreign labour, bypassing the local workforce.
The July 1 changes will not affect employers that are using the 457 visa in an appropriate and lawful manner. However, these changes will enhance the Australian Government's capacity to identify unscrupulous practices of some employers. Specifically, employers will be required to provide substantial proof of their local recruitment efforts prior to sponsoring foreign workers. Also, if there are worries that an employer may not be committed to training Australians, additional justification may be required before their sponsorship or nomination is approved.
If you are a 457 visa holder, there should not be adverse effects. The scope and privileges of the visa will remain largely the same, as well as the related conditions. However, it is important to note that English language testing may become necessary if you are changing employers or applying for a new 457 visa.
Visa application changes accompanying the new 457 visa rules will not affect the majority of 457 visa applicants. However, post-July 1 applicants and those with un-finalised applications prior to July 1 will have to abide by the new rules. Applicants confused about the changes may consult with their case officer or a professional representative from a migration firm. Generally, applicants need to note that there are changes to some skill requirements for specific occupations and to the English language skill requirement.
All subclass 457 visa applications must now be lodged online. Paper applications are no longer accepted by DIAC except in extremely limited circumstances. Additionally, new visa fee arrangements have been implemented since July 1.
With the new changes to the 457, lodging an application may be confusing. Hence, getting the help of a migration firm like National Visas will be beneficial in order to ensure that all requirements are met and all necessary procedures completed. With National Visas, living and working in Australia as a sponsored foreign worker is not only made easier but you can rest easy knowing your case is in good hands.

IMPORTANCE OF TAX HEALTH CHECKS
Misfort Tax Consultancy Uncategorized 0
Businesses should undergo periodic health checks, just like people to guarantee survival. Tax health checks have never been more necessary than now when the Zimbabwean government through Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has automated almost all of its revenue collection systems. The government is also targeting the informal sector (which thrives in highly inflationary environment) to increase revenue for the consolidated revenue fund. The need for tax health checks is also heightened by uncertain tax positions inherent in our laws and the need for companies to continually review their businesses in view of recent legal precedents on combative matters.
Businesses that intend to endure their owners need to proactively consider policies which will help alleviate challenges that may arise from the revised tax collection measures by assuming periodic tax health checks
Why conduct tax health checks
A tax health check is a review of a taxpayer's tax records to ascertain the level of compliance with applicable tax legislation. The exercise may also involve measuring the potential tax risks and assessing recommendations for enhanced compliance. The exercise may aid the following purposes:
It may be conducted as part of preparations for an upcoming tax audit or investigation exercise. In this context the health check will involve reviewing the company's position to decide on the strategy for resolving the issues that may be raised by the tax authorities during the audit. However, it is not usually a good idea to wait for tax audit notification letters before conducting health checks. This is because it might be too late to adopt proactive strategies to manage tax risks by the time a taxpayer receives the audit notification letter.
The exercise may also be conducted with a view to assessing the robustness of a company's tax function and processes. Through the exercise, the composition of the tax department (if available) can be reviewed to ensure it is adequately staffed and that such personnel have the requisite knowledge and experience to meet the demands of the tax function.
A tax health check could also take the form of a tax due diligence, where a potential investor evaluates the tax status of an existing entity it intends to invest in. Although some other considerations typically prevail in determining whether to acquire or not, the importance of the tax health check in ascertaining the actual liabilities of the existing business cannot be overemphasized.
For tax payers who apply for refunds, this is to avoid a situation where a supposed tax refund reverses into a tax debt for the taxpayer. Taxpayers that intend to apply for tax refunds also need tax health checks given that the associated audit exercises that legally precede refunds, are usually overly intensive and covers all tax types.
It may result in a tax saving opportunity when as organisation correct its own wrongs in time before audits and investigations by the tax authority. Thus, based on the findings from a tax health check, a taxpayer can design an effective strategy for implementing a robust tax risk framework that identify and mitigate tax risks in the organisation.
The rising need for tax health checks
Recently, companies operating in Zimbabwe have been faced with increased level of tax risks. Tax risks is the risk that transaction and events will have unintended and adverse consequences. The increased tax risks are not unconnected to some uncertainties, doubts and changes in our tax laws and regulations.
Tax health checks are a cost-effective way to proactively manage tax risks and avoid potential exposures. Tax payers are advised not to wait until they receive audit notifications letters from the tax authorities before conducting tax reviews, just as it is advisable not to wait until the outset of an illness before going for a medical check-up.

How we discover, manufacture and take medicines is an ever evolving industry, accelerated by advances in technology and biological and materials understanding. Blockbuster drugs, once the backbone of successful pharmaceutical companies, are on the decline as drug products become more tailored and patient populations decline. "Personalised medicines" has become a buzz word to reflect the future of patient specific drug prescriptions, potentially for a patient population of 1. Medicinal molecules are becoming larger and more complex resulting in different processing requirements and soaring health costs. Stem cell therapies have emerged with the potential to offer a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat major degenerative diseases. Accompanying these advances on the drug material side have been advances in processing routes for making pharmaceutical products. The industry has witnessed a shift from batch to continuous processing, most recently demonstrated by the first Food & Drug Authority (FDA) approval of a drug product manufactured continuously (Orkambi®, Vertex). Demands to produce medicines local to their region of distribution have put pressure on footprint, mobility and flexibility of the manufacturing process. Process sustainability and environmental considerations remain key considerations. As a highly regulated environment, the pharmaceutical sector can find it difficult to implement change quickly and correctly requires vigilance in all process modification. This lecture is an effort to capture the current state of the art in the pharmaceutical sector, and provide a dialogue on the anticipated opportunities and challenges facing the sector in the future.
