Could P2P be achieve without Starship only.
How is 1000 people too much?
If it could actually fit that man I'd say fantastic. Really lowers the cost per person and gets a lot of people somewhere very quickly. When you think that each origin point will probably only have one flight in per day from it to somewhere... I don't see the problem if the ship is big enough.
Couldn't they scale down the booster for P2P?
Their biggest problem will be regulatory. You know the airlines are going to freak when the system comes on line.
I think insurance my be a bigger problem vs. regulatory or max payload. Who will insure this venture before a reliable history is known? Will SpaceX self insure? Think of what it costs to kill a passenger manifest of 100 multimillionaires vs. 1000. Millionaires are the target market here, and for the time saving, tickets will be comparable to first class fares, so probably in the range of $5000-$10000 plus each way.
The demand likely isn't there. The largest plane currently in production, the A380 with a capacity of of 500 to 850 passengers, was just cancelled because no airliner could find a profitable market for it.
Also, because SS travels so quickly, even if there is a large demand, it could be met by multiple flights per day, something that much slower planes couldn't match. If anything, SS could be scaled for much smaller passenger capacity than long-haul airliners and still meet demand, because it can make many more flights for a given amount of time.
With a suborbital flight path and only 100 or so passengers, a version of Starship could be designed to do P2P without Super Heavy.
I agree, although I have never been clear on how much P2P is supposed to be a separate endeavour, versus just using the ships SpaceX is making for other purposes and refitting the interior for short passenger travel. That is, I don't know if SpaceX would design a ship just for P2P.
because it can make many more flights for a given amount of time.
Granted that's presuming that a ship works like an airliner and doesn't require lengthy refurbishment between flights. But given that it can do routes that take planes 12 hours in about 30 minutes, there is lots of time there to do multiple trips, again presuming that the ship itself is gas 'n' go.
It would not be a too big redesign. I had thought about this possibility. Move the bulkheads to accomodate more propellant. The engines have enough thrust to lift a few hundred more tons of propellant. For 100 passengers there is enough space in the conical part of Starship. 100 passengers is what Gwynne Shotwell mentioned.
Was there a more recent statement than the 'cheaper than an economy ticket at IAC2017?' - because that pretty much implies 1000ish passengers long-haul(with $300K ship amortisation, 300K launch costs 300K sundry and profit).
Going to 100 passengers means that you either jack the price up a _lot_ or your vehicle is an order of magnitude cheaper to launch (100K per launch total), which seems challenging.
It was cheaper than business class, undiscounted. Flying Starship only without the booster should drastically reduce cost. Only ~20% of the propellant, no stacking, only 7 engines instead of 39.
1. The A380 proves that there's no competitive market for an airplane with >500 passengers. A rocket has a different cost model though, so analogies are necessarily imperfect. The economically optimal size for a rocket is not necessarily the same as an airplane. A single Super Heavy Starship can serve a half dozen antipodal city pairs at one flight per day, whereas an A380 would require one vehicle per city pair. And unlike airplanes, the per-km fuel cost decreases with distance, so we might see the market carved up that way. Fundamentally the two cost landscapes are very different.
2. Is the noise limit defined by the roar from launch, or the boom from reentry? At the Falcon Heavy launch the sonic boom was much louder and more disruptive than the rumble of launch. If it's really a problem than super-sized rainbirds (stormbirds?) placed in a semi-circle around the pad can shoot seawater in the air to absorb/deflect sound away from the city. Super Heavy should have a similar loudness boom as Starship.
Also, what's so costly about being farther from shore? The fast ferry and/or helicopter ride may be slightly longer, but that's cheap (and the travel time still beats the pants off an airplane). Any person/cargo that needs "as fast as possible" service has no faster alternative, so the only demand reduction would come from losing time-critical payload that's right on the line re:urgency, such that the small increase in trip time crosses the threshold and makes airplanes more economical. This is likely imo to be a small segment of the P2P payload market, which will be well saturated by some combination of "poor man's space tourism" back in Econony and wealthy-or-not conspicuous consumers Instagramming from the First Class seats. Neither market is time-critical to that degree.
3. The payload to fuel ratio is vastly better for Super Heavy Starship vs Starship. Elon Musk described SSTO as "pointless:"
Notice he didn't say "impossible;" his point is that it's economically undesirable, not that it's technically infeasible. Nothing has changed that conclusion imo.
4. Do we know that SSTO Starship can carry 100 people? I know there have been improvements recently, but last I knew we weren't even sure if it SSTO Starship could carry landing fuel. That's a long way from carrying any payload at all, and even further from being economically competitive with Super Heavy Starship.
Some might suggest that the recent technical advances make SSTO more feasible/affordable. Maybe so, but I've never yet seen SpaceX use good engineering/cost decisions to "buy" bad decisions elsewhere. SSTO needs to stand on its own technical/economic merits, and I don't see that.
That is a good point. Although there should be room for 100 people, there might not be enough mass lift capacity from SS alone. On the positive side the flight would at maximum "only" traverse halfway around the planet and possibly much less, so there should be saving in propellant compared to an orbital flight. Hard to say how this calculation would balance out, but a great distance could certainly be covered. The exact extent of that distance is hard to say.
Who says it needs to be SSTO? We're talking about P2P trajectories. No need for a P2P craft to reach LEO.
If you're doing more than very short suborbital hops, you can't loft the trajectory much or you end up entering at too steep an angle, an at least having unpassenger G levels.
Correcting the entry angle propulsively leads you closer to SSTO requirements with the added delta-v.
Ballistically going halfway around the earth takes nearly the same delta V as going to orbit. For example, the shuttle external tank is a few hundred feet per second below orbital speed but reenters in the Indian Ocean.
Okay, tougher than I thought.
Based on Gwynne Shotwell's statements at TED. She specifically noted multiple long-haul flights/day vs the 1-2 an airliner could do as a financial driver.
And how many design iterations are needed before you can land a superheavy back on its launch mount + connect up GSE; land starship, empty it, move it back to the pad, crane the multi hundred ton starship smoothly (eg stage integrate) back on top of it, + reload passengers, all in a few hours?
Let's be real, we're actually talking a very different system at that point, not even sure you can call that Starship / Superheavy.
And how many design iterations are needed before you can land a superheavy back on its launch mount & connect up GSE; land starship, empty it, move it back to the pad, crane the multi hundred ton starship smoothly (eg stage integrate) back on top of it, & reload passengers, all in a few hours?
Musk has said SH will use ?landing legs & fins like Starship, at least early on.
If you have an SH variant akin to a stretched StarHopper mini-booster which can be craned into position & stacked after a flat-pad landing, P2P should be able hto fly earlier.

Paris Air Show: IAG sets its sights on Boeing 737 MAX
The airline group announced its intent to purchase 200 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, both the 737 MAX 8 and MAX 10 variants
By Aviation Business
The parent company of Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, Vueling and LEVEL, IAG signed a letter of intent with the Boeing Corporation in a deal that is estimated to value more than $24bn per list prices.
International Airlines Group (IAG) has announced at the Paris Air Show 2019 that it will bolster its future fleet with Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and revealed its intention to purchase 200 MAX jets.
Commenting on the deal, IAG CEO Willie Walsh, said: "We're very pleased to sign this letter of intent with Boeing and are certain that these aircraft will be a great addition to IAG's short-haul fleet.
"We have every confidence in Boeing and expect that the aircraft will make a successful return to service in the coming months having received approval from the regulators."
The deal follows the finalisation of a major order with Boeing earlier in the year for 777X aircraft, which complements the group's fleets of 777s and the new 787 Dreamliners. For the single-aisle segment, IAG utilises the original 737 aircraft, while currently, its fleet is comprised of Airbus A320 family aircraft.
Kevin McAllister, Boeing Commercial Airplanes President & CEO, said: "We are truly honoured and humbled by the leadership at International Airlines Group for placing their trust and confidence in the 737 MAX and, ultimately, in the people of Boeing and our deep commitment to quality and safety above all else.
"We are delighted that the IAG team recognized the superior qualities of the 737 MAX and has indicated an intention to return to the Boeing 737 family. We look forward to building on our long-standing partnership with IAG for many years to come."
The 737 MAX incorporates the latest technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets and other improvements geared towards efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort. The 737 MAX is 14% more fuel-efficient than the current 737s, and 20% better than the original 737s when they entered service.
Viewed by many as a show of confidence in the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, IAG's letter of intent is the first following the 737 MAXs groundings back in March. After a series of crashes, the aircraft was grounded by a number of authorities across the world and has yet to return to service.

Room for optimism on Africa, the "hopeful" continent
Climate expert Fatima Denton from the Economic Commission for Africa will say it's time for more optimism on Africa and climate change at an IIED lecture to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Barbara Ward's birthday.
Blog by
Camilla Toulmin
@camillatoulmin
Ward, IIED's founder, said: "We have forgotten how to be good guests, how to walk lightly on the earth as its other creatures do."
Born in 1914, her life spanned an extraordinary period of growth and change. The year was, of course, also the beginning of World War One. One hundred years on, we face similar challenges, including rising nationalist tensions around the world, which we urgently need to defuse.
There were 1.8 billion people in the world in 1914, compared to 7.2 billion today. It was just the start of the oil age. Most of the greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere had not yet been generated, and it was before most of the deforestation, land degradation and marine pollution that now scars our planet.
However, there has also been a lot of progress, with many rivers cleaned up, and urban air quality in big European cities much better than when so many people relied on coal. Equally, the last century has seen huge increases in incomes and welfare, life expectancy, food security and health.
Barbara Ward's youth and early adulthood were marked by two world wars, with the upheaval, loss and disruption that each provoked. But cataclysmic conflict can also have a silver lining, as outlined by French economist Thomas Piketty in his recent book "Capital in the 21st century". He argues that huge damage to assets and private wealth during the war years helped rebalance increasingly skewed levels of inequality.
The upheaval also opened up much better opportunities for women to take on more significant roles. At the start of World War Two, Barbara Ward was taken on by The Economist magazine, where she flourished and rose to foreign editor. It benefited greatly from her well-informed and lively writing style.
Every couple of years, IIED asks a remarkable woman to give a lecture in memory of Barbara. We started in 2006 with Mary Robinson, who spoke on climate change and justice. Lindiwe Sisulu, the then South African Housing Minister, spoke in 2008 on ways to house the urban poor through innovative partnerships with slum dwellers.
Connie Hedegaard, European commissioner for Climate Action, talked in 2010 about the challenges of climate politics following the Copenhagen climate summit (COP15). Then Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, reminded us in 2012 of the urgent need for actions to adapt to and limit the magnitude of long-term climate change.
Like Barbara Ward, they are all remarkable leaders, speaking on the major issues of the day. Their great intellect, combined with a strong commitment to achieve human progress, and their ability to influence key people and debates, can help make a difference.
This year, we're particularly happy that Fatima Denton, the director of the Special Initiatives Division and leader of the African Climate Policy Centre of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), will give the centenary Barbara Ward Lecture. She will speak on "Rewriting the climate change narrative – Africa", the "hopeful" continent on Thursday, 20 November, at The British Library, London.
Nine out of the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa. However, this growth is generating few jobs and comes at a high environmental and social cost. Climate change may also hit African economies and people very heavily, unless infrastructure, institutions and investments become more climate resilient.
Over the next 100 years, there will no doubt be enormous changes – possibly nowhere more so than in Africa. The continent is likely to see continued high population growth, from the current 1.1 billion, to 2 billion by 2050, and more than 3 billion in 2100.
But there are also huge resources to match such growth, and much knowledge and potential on the continent. Denton thinks it's time we told the real story about Africa and climate change by making the narrative shift from 'dismal continent' to 'Afro-optimism'. She will discuss how Africa can use climate change as a business opportunity to transform key sectors, such as agriculture, energy and water, and secure livelihoods.
But good governance is key to making this happen, as argued by Mo Ibrahim. Better governance depends on great leadership. Judging by the ethics, fearless intellect and powerful vision of our Barbara Ward lecturers to date, a few more women at the top of government in Africa might just make all the difference,

UMR phase 6: Margin mayhem begins unless dispute resolution is reformed
Philip Slavin | September 20, 2022
To quote a former Prime Minister, the final phase of the Uncleared Margin Rules (UMR) is "not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning". The sixth and final phase of UMR has been well telegraphed and firms falling within scope are frantically making final preparations to be compliant. By Philip Slavin, CEO of Taskize
One curve ball is that with an average aggregate notional amount (AANA) threshold of $8bn, unforeseen market events taking place after the regulatory go-live such as recent volatility could result in additional firms coming into scope a month or a year from now, meaning the true operational impact of the rules is still very much to come.
The rules, which already affect some larger banks based on the size of their portfolios, will pull in a large number of other pension funds and asset managers. The overriding purpose is to make uncleared over-the-counter (OTC) trades so expensive that firms ultimately move more of their trades into clearing. The regulation does this by requiring companies to post upfront cash as security for trades, tying up trillions of dollars of assets that could otherwise generate returns. The concept is not new. Clearing houses, which sit between counterparties to trade, have long required upfront cash (initial margin) from counterparties when a trade is entered into, to reduce risk. The difference is that these new rules mean hundreds of buy-side firms that have previously never had to post margin, will now be forced to do so.
While the major investment banks, pulled into the earlier phases, may well be highly sophisticated and experienced at calculating, exchanging initial and variation margin, and resolving margin disputes, the reality is that they now face the daunting prospect of dealing with numerous investment managers who are not, due to different priorities and fewer resources to allocate to operations.
According to the International Central Securities Depository (ICSD), Euroclear, "phase 6 covers 775 entities, and an additional 5,400 counterparty relationships". As initial margin calls rise, these largely inexperienced firms have a potential operational mountain to climb which are likely to spill over to their bank counterparties. All this as central banks continue to increase rates to contain inflation – which drives up the cost of funding further as outlined in a report by AcadiaSoft. This makes it even more important for firms in scope for UMR to have a detailed understanding of their positions.
Take the much-debated issue of disputing margin. While the vast majority of disputes can, of course, be quickly resolved by collateral management teams, those that cannot do so represent an increase in counterparty risk especially in a volatile market environment to firms in terms of the amount of time it can take to engage in and resolve a margin dispute.
A fundamental factor behind margin disputes is the different parameters used in the margin calculation models. In many cases, investment managers will either be using a custom-risk model for margin calculation or one from an external provider if they are resource constrained, irrespective of which will likely contain differences which drive margin calculation anomalies from the model being used by their counterparty. Even if both parties are using the industry wide Standard Initial Margin Methodology (SIMM) model, the amounts could still be different because the underlying portfolios do not reconcile, meaning static pricing information, trades incorrectly booked or failed settlement can all impact margin calculations.
Irrespective of the root cause, the problem is the amount of time and effort it takes trying to solve these disputes – especially when using inefficient forms of communication like email or phone. Even the adoption of chatbots has not made any real impact on issue resolution times. In order to seek out real efficiencies, there is a need for a specific tailored workflow that is designed to help firms manage and accelerate collaboration across operations teams which leads to adoption of best practices and timely settlement of margin.
Now is not the time to default to email for margin dispute resolution, particularly given the fact that firms pulled into this final phase are already overwhelmed with email and cannot absorb additional work unless an alternative method is found. Overlaying the demand for better data loss controls and identity management, and the established go-to option of email for dispute resolution becomes even less attractive.
Those affected as of September 1, and those who may soon be affected depending on how their portfolios react to future market volatility, need to find a solution to resolve these disputes more efficiently. Perhaps this final phase is the trigger back-office staff have been looking for to resolve not just margin disputes, but the plethora of other post-trade operational headaches that they face on a daily basis.
Only time will tell as to whether firms will be able to comply with UMR phase 6 successfully without incurring additional costs or risk. However, those that do find a way to ensure effective collaboration across global financial operations staff may experience "their finest hour".

ASEAN Releases Sustainability Taxonomy for Southeast Asia
Eye on ESG Blog
Alexander W. Burdulia
Mark Uhrynuk
On November 10, 2021, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) released Version 1 of the ASEAN Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance (the "ASEAN Taxonomy"). First announced in March 2021, the ASEAN Taxonomy will provide a common language for sustainable finance among the ten ASEAN Member States (AMS) that, together, comprise the fifth largest economy in the world. This is a necessary and timely development as ASEAN remains highly vulnerable to climate change, which has had a significant impact on the people, businesses and governments of ASEAN.
Version 1 is a significant step in ASEAN's sustainability journey, as this initial document will provide the framework for continuing discussions among AMS as the ASEAN Taxonomy develops. In this Blog Post, we highlight key aspects of Version 1 of the ASEAN Taxonomy and compare this new framework against the world's most prominent sustainability taxonomy, the EU's Taxonomy Regulation (the "EU Taxonomy").
The ASEAN Taxonomy is guided by the following five key principles:
The ASEAN Taxonomy will be the overarching guide for all ASEAN Member States, providing a common language and complementing their respective national sustainability initiatives.
The ASEAN Taxonomy will take into consideration widely used taxonomies and other relevant taxonomies, as appropriate, and shall be contextualised to facilitate an orderly transition towards a sustainable ASEAN.
The ASEAN Taxonomy shall be inclusive and beneficial to all ASEAN Member States.
The ASEAN Taxonomy shall provide a credible framework, including definitions, and where appropriate, be science-based.
The ASEAN Taxonomy will be aligned with the sustainability initiatives taken by the capital market, banking and insurance sectors, or at least not conflict with them.
These principles will orient the ongoing development of the ASEAN Taxonomy and could inform efforts to develop regional taxonomies in other partsof the world.
The ASEAN Taxonomy will incorporate a multi-tiered approach intended to reflect the varied stages of development, economies and other circumstances of the ten AMS.
Clearly, industrial development has brought a range of environmental issues and related challenges to ASEAN. As noted in the ASEAN Taxonomy, the region is "increasingly a contributor to, and is becoming a victim of, the global environmental challenges of climate change." These growing challenges will require a more fundamental transition, including a shift in business models, but also a flexible approach to developing a regional taxonomy.
Accordingly, the ASEAN Taxonomy includes a common "Foundation Framework" will apply to all AMS, while a separate "Plus Standard" will provide additional, more detailed guidance and scope for AMS to further qualify and benchmark eligible green activities and investments on a sectoral basis.
Foundation Framework
Under the Foundation Framework, economic activities must fulfil at least one of four environmental objectives to potentially qualify as "sustainable":
Climate Change Mitigation (e.g., avoiding or reducing greenhouse gas emissions)
Climate Change Adaptation (e.g., building resilience to the physical impacts of climate change)
Protection of healthy ecosystem and diversity (e.g., preventing pollution or deforestation)
Promotion of resource resilience and transition to circular economy (e.g., managing waste)
In addition, all activities must meet two "essential criteria": activities must not significantly harm any environmental objective and efforts must be taken to identify and mitigate the activity's potential adverse environmental impacts (e.g., formal environmental impact assessments may be required for larger projects). All activities must also be assessed against relevant environmental laws instituted by AMS as a "minimum safeguard" to avoid contravention of local regulations.
Economic activities will be categorized as either Green, Amber or Red based on a decision tree incorporating various factors relevant to each environmental objective. For example, with respect to the objective of Climate Change Mitigation:
Green activities clearly contribute to or enable Climate Change Mitigation;
Amber activities contribute to decarbonisation where mitigation of other harm to environmental objectives is necessary; and
Red activities do not contribute to or enable Climate Change Mitigation and/or fail to meet other safeguards.
Plus Standard
The Plus Standard will provide additional, detailed technical screening criteria for specific economic activities. Initially, the ASEAN Taxonomy will address activities in six priority sectors representing 85% of GHG emissions and 55% of Gross Value Added in ASEAN:
Electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply
Construction and real estate activities
Water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities
The Plus Standard will identify granular activity-level criteria and thresholds for economic activities in these sectors to further determine whether a specific activity is categorized Green, Amber or Red.
The Plus Standard will also identify "enabling sectors" that have a significant ability to enable other sectors to contribute to the environmental objectives. For example, the information and communication sector has been identified as an enabling sector for Climate Change Mitigation for its ability to provide innovative data-driven solutions and the physical infrastructure, such as data centres, needed to effectively manage and reduce GHG emissions.
EU Alignment
Multinationals operating in ASEAN will be particularly interested in the degree to which the ASEAN Taxonomy aligns with the EU Taxonomy. While the development of the ASEAN Taxonomy remains at an early stage, two key insights can be drawn from Version 1:
Environmental Objectives Are Largely Aligned: The ASEAN Taxonomy identifies four key environmental objectives that an activity may contribute to in order to be classified as "sustainable", while the EU Taxonomy identifies six such objectives. At first glance, it may seem that the ASEAN Taxonomy is more restrictive in this regard. The frameworks, however, are largely aligned as the ASEAN Taxonomy has effectively taken four specific objectives from the EU Taxonomy and grouped them into two broader objectives. EU Taxonomy objectives 3 (sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources) and 6 (protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems) are reflected in one ASEAN Taxonomy objective: Protection of healthy ecosystem and diversity. EU Taxonomy objectives 4 (transition to a circular economy) and 5 (pollution prevention and control) are also reflected in one ASEAN Taxonomy objective: Promotion of resource resilience and transition to circular economy.
ASEAN Minimum Safeguards Are Strictly Environmental: In the EU Taxonomy, an economic activity must meet certain "minimum safeguards" in order to be "sustainable". According to Article 18 of the EU Taxonomy, this requires alignment with the principles of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO core conventions and the UN International Bill of Human Rights. Together, these principles represent international best practices for managing human rights impacts. These principles are notably absent from the ASEAN Taxonomy, where the only "minimum safeguard" that must be assessed is national environmental law.
ASEAN has made clear that Version 1 is the foundation for the ongoing development of the ASEAN Taxonomy. Market participants can expect the framework to evolve as the multitude of stakeholders in ASEAN provide their feedback and detailed technical screening criteria are developed. Parties are likely to focus on the degree to which the ASEAN Taxonomy aligns with the EU Taxonomy, as well as national taxonomies in Singapore and Malaysia and the Common Ground Taxonomy under development by China and the EU. However the ASEAN Taxonomy develops, it will play a critical role in helping businesses and governments align their activities toward a more sustainable future.

Welcoming the lunch bunch
By Michelle Farnham
ROSEMARY BEACH – Edward's Fine Food & Wine has always been a go-to hotspot for dinner along 30A, but co-owners Christy Spell-Terry and Rick Spell realized they were missing out on the chance to offer their fare to the daytime crowd.
General Manager Jimmy Berry was thrilled when he and his staff got the go-ahead to expand service to lunch hours this spring.
"We have a lot of foot traffic going by during the day, we're a couple hundred feet from the beach, all the other restaurants were always busy, and I felt like we had an opportunity to offer a different kind of menu," Berry said.
He pointed to the three seating areas Edward's offers, including the air conditioned indoor dining room, the pergola-covered courtyard with fan, and street-side bistro tables.
"It's gone really well. We've had nothing but good opinions about the menu, and we hired a few more people which is nice for the local economy," Berry added.
That new lunch menu was a collaboration between Executive Chef Josh Smith – who is starting his fourth season with Edward's – and fellow chef Erik Kellison, formerly of sister restaurant Grits & Grind.
"Whenever we plan menus, we talk to the front of the house, we talk to guests, to get as much feedback as we can so we can tap into what people are liking now," Smith said. "We knew we were going to start doing lunch as the weather started to warm up a bit, so we wanted to do some lighter dishes."
Smith said they are always seafood-heavy at Edward's, and that continues to be a major part of the new offerings. Keeping the menu varied enough that they served something the whole family could enjoy was important, but could still be the ideal spot for something like a ladies' lunch, too.
New to the table
Looking over the new dishes, Smith is especially proud of the grilled salmon and wakame wrap, with its Napa cabbage slaw, red bell pepper, jalapeño and spicy mayo.
"That's a play on a dish I created a few years ago for dinner and we modified it for the lunch crowd," Smith admitted. "In the spring and the summer, we often do a yellowfin tuna with that similar Asian slaw, but I thought if we did this with salmon and incorporated it into a wrap, it could turn out really well and it has."
All the sandwiches – which also include the steakhouse burger, hot roast beef and cheddar, and chicken salad croissant, are served with choice of greens or Smith's house-made potato chips that are a celebration of all things potato and salt.
The kitchen is taking advantage of mango and citrus for their famous jumbo lump crab cake, served as a salad atop greens. Other salads include the seared yellowfin tuna, kale Cobb salad, and local arugula.
Smith knew they would be remiss if they didn't capitalize on their dinnertime grouper entree, transforming it into a grilled sandwich with house-made pickles for the daytime diners.
"The quality of the fish is so great, it's unparalleled," he admitted.
Kick the meal off with marinated crab claws, spicy smoked fish dip, frites and steakhouse aioli, crispy Brussels sprouts, or deviled eggs with applewood smoked bacon.
From the lunch entrees menu, find the simply grilled grouper, chicken Provencal, and the shrimp and grits.
You can't discuss Edward's and not mention the extensive wine list, which offers something for every price point.
"Our wine list is very reasonable, and of course we have some high-end bottles if guests prefer," Berry said. "We do a nice beer and eventually we'd like to add liquor."
Although the restaurant does not take reservations per se, Berry and his team are happy to make arrangements for big events.
"I recently discovered a lot of people didn't think we're available for special events, but we are," he added.
Edward's Fine Food & Wine is located at 66 Main Street, Rosemary Beach, serving lunch Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The dinner menu continues to be served starting at 5 p.m. daily. Tables are seated on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit them online at edwards30a.com or call 850-231-0550.
Le Crema Tapas & Chocolate

Food Menu Drink Menu Chocolate Menu
Passport to Spain
By Liesel Schmidt
ROSEMARY BEACH – For the people of Spain, food is an important part of the culture. They savor it, celebrate it, and linger over it. It's a point of passion, and that passion is evident in its bold flavors. Naturally, Spanish cuisine is inspirational to a great many chefs who have come away from its kitchens forever in the thrall of its charms, bringing with them dishes that capture its unique essence.
It was with that vision in mind that La Crema Tapas & Chocolate originally opened in Rosemary Beach in 2009. Building on the concept of tapas and chocolate shops that have become such a popular part of the food scene in Barcelona and Madrid, the menu features an array of small plates, decadent chocolate desserts and drinks, as well as a carefully curated selection of fine wines.
Under the talent of chefs Eric Bartholomew, Alex Gomez, and Ricky Voelz, the kitchen at La Crema creates beautiful dishes that honor the spirit and traditions of Spanish cuisine, taking their guests on an epicurean journey with every item on the menu. A chef for 17 years, Chef Eric serves as a consultant at La Crema while also holding the title of executive chef at La Cocina.
The lead position, however, it taken by Chef Alex, whose five years at the restaurant have proven his chops and his ability to run point. Possessing a keen eye for detail, he ensures that everyone is set up for a successful service and checks each dish before it leaves the kitchen. Chef Ricky is a more recent addition, having joined the team two years ago; but his drive and determined work ethic have made him invaluable.
Together, the three execute the menus designed by Chef Eric and regularly create entrée and dessert features using fresh seasonal ingredients.
"Their leadership and experience keep the kitchen running smoothly, even on the busiest summer nights," said Christy Spell-Terry, who co-owns the restaurant with her father, Rick Terry, under the Spell Restaurant Group.
Sweets and savories
The reason for those busy summer nights is, of course, the food being created by those three talented minds. Featuring yellowfin tuna, hibiscus, fresh avocado, and serrano pepper marinated in citrus, the Ceviche may well be considered Chef Eric's signature dish and has been an incredibly popular part of the menu. The fresh spin on the Peruvian classic is a "must try" dish and is in good company with some of their other guest favorites – among them, the Brussels Sprouts, Serrano Wrapped Figs, Enfuego Chicken, Chocolate Fondue, Classic Cookies served with milk, and Hot Chocolate Molten Cake. Unlike many restaurants, they put as much emphasis on creating magic with their sweets as they do with their savories.
Naturally, that translates into success – as does their use of the best ingredients available.
"All of our dishes are made from scratch, using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible," said Spell-Terry. "Serving small plates means that there is no room to hide mistakes. Each plate must come out perfect!"
Equal attention is paid to the wine selection, offering guests an impressive list that has been chosen to pair perfectly with the flavors on the menu.
"The wine and the chocolate would probably tie for what people love most," said Spell-Terry. "However, none of it would be possible without the attentive service our staff provides. The goal of everyone in the restaurant, both front- and back-of-house, is to make each guest's meal memorable."
La Crema Tapas & Chocolate is located at 38 Main Street, Rosemary Beach. Open daily 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.; no reservations accepted. For more information, call 850-534-3004 or visit www.lacrematapas.com.
George's at Alys Beach

Lunch Menu Dinner Menu Tadpole Menu Wine Dessert Menu
ALYS BEACH – Since opening in 2008, George's at Alys Beach has been a landmark of fantastic food in a beautiful location, with a unique personality – one that starts with the iconic frog on their logo. A whimsical reference to its founding owners and a humorous story involving a wedding gift featuring frogs, the friendly-looking amphibian that has become inexorably linked with George's is also greatly indicative of what the restaurant always strives to be: different.
That difference is noticeable in the atmosphere, a "casually coastal" setting surrounded on three sides by porches that give the place a true Southern feel. Naturally, they have their very own Lily Pad, a charming courtyard area which provides dining space and a breathtaking view of 30A and Alys Beach. "We believe people can feel our Southern charm as soon as they enter the restaurant, and they know they are in for a delicious meal from a staff who truly cares about their experience," said Christy Spell Terry, who has co-owned the restaurant with her father, Rick Spell, as part of Spell Restaurant Group since 2015.
Behave or Misbehave?
All that casualness, however, is in direct contradiction to what really brings people here: the food. "Upscale" is the word that leaps to mind, but the menu manages to take preciousness off the table and replace it with tongue-in-cheek humor. It's actually divided into two parts: "Behave" and "Misbehave" – the culinary equivalent of the devil and angel on your shoulder. And while they focus on the flavors and ingredients available on the Gulf Coast while enhancing them with their chef's own global twist, they manage to give their diners pause over which side of the debate will win.
For those determined to "Behave," the menu offers items such as Jerk Crusted Gulf Snapper and Seared Yellowfin Tuna, two dishes that are deceptively kind to the diet while their flavor still seems sinful. True to the idea of wanting to "Misbehave," decadent items like the Apple Cider Brined Berkshire Pork Chop, George's famous Spicy Salt & Pepper Shrimp, the Lobster Quesadilla, and the Seared Sea Scallops are a great temptation filled with indulgence. To "Behave" or "Misbehave?" So becomes the question…
Making that question all the harder to answer is Executive Chef Camille Withall, who brings her international flair to bear in the kitchen. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, she learned invaluable native flavors and techniques from her mother. After attending the culinary arts program at the American Hospitality Academy in Manila, she moved to the United States in 2008 for an internship in Destin, where she honed her skills at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort and Restaurant Fire in Grayton Beach. She joined the team at George's in 2014 as Sous Chef and advanced to Executive Chef in 2015.
All that talent in the kitchen is mirrored by the quality of service in the front of house. "We understand that there are many restaurants to choose from on 30A, and we feel honored that so many visitors choose George's at Alys Beach," said Spell Terry. "Our staff strives to make each guest feel like a member of the family when they choose to dine with us."
George's also knows the importance of sourcing the best and freshest ingredients, and they do so as a matter of course. "We strive to source as many ingredients as possible from local merchants like WaterStreet Seafood, Buddy Gandy's Seafood, Southern Craft Creamery, and City Produce. We believe that fresh ingredients help make great dishes," Spell Terry explained.
From their decidedly whimsical take on upscale food to their charmingly Southern coastal atmosphere, George's offers an experience that is unique and unforgettable, whether you've decided to behave or not.
George's at Alys Beach is located at 30 Castle Harbour Drive, Alys Beach. Open daily 11 a.m. to 3 p.m; 5 to 9 p.m. Reservations are not accepted. For more information, call 850-641-0017 or visit www.georgesatalysbeach.com.

MENU HAPPY HOUR BRUNCH
New name, new look, new brunch
SEACREST BEACH – La Cocina, the Latin coastal restaurant serving up ceviche, tacos, burritos and achiote fried wings along 30A, has reopened its doors as LaCo, a shortened moniker for both "La Cocina" and "Latin Coastal."
Over the winter, the eatery also underwent a top-to-bottom remodel of the dining room and bar, and has debuted a new brunch menu from Executive Chef Eric Bartholomew. From the floors to wall colors, lighting, even the chairs are new, all the work of Z-Space Design out of Atlanta.
"We've been transitioning from Tex-Mex to more Latin Coastal over the past couple years, so we wanted to reflect those menu changes in the name and the ambiance of the restaurant," explained Manager Sarah Hampton. "It's the same owners, the same great staff, and the same menu we've used for the past three years."
To the left of the entryway is the revamped main dining space, which includes fresh tile work in muted beachy tones that add to the coastal feel. New booths offer fun, comfortable seating options to the space. To the right of the front door is the remodeled bar area with seating, including the gorgeous white bar top, accented by handsome dark woodwork.
"The remodel definitely lightens up the dining room and the new bar is a great hangout place," Bartholomew said.
Adding brunch
The newly debuted brunch is served 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. seven days a week, while the regular menu is offered 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, including takeout, according to Christy Spell Terry, who co-owns LaCo with her father, Rick.
"We wanted to give locals and tourists alike a dining option they could enjoy earlier in the day," Spell Terry said. "LaCo's culinary team created an exceptional menu brunch-goers can enjoy as early as 10 a.m. daily – and that includes kid-friendly dishes, too! It makes for a great start to a day at the beach."
The Breakfast Burrito, Tacos Desayuno and Chilaquiles Rojo come with the guest's choice of grilled steak, bacon, chorizo or grilled veggies.
"When I think coastal, it's certain ingredients we use, some seafood, but also being a little bit lighter," the chef said. "This is not your typical bacon-eggs-potato type place. It's a different option for someone, and a lot of these are gluten-free or can be vegetarian, so they're good for people with alternative diets."
Chef's Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash is not to be missed, with its roasted Brussels sprouts, whipped avocado, lime vinaigrette and a sunny side up egg.
"The sweet potato is a little bit of a healthier option, while the Chilaquiles Rojo is a real traditional Mexican breakfast dish," Bartholomew explained. "It's kind of a hangover meal! It's a very homey dish that we can offer to guests that they might not have been exposed to before."
Younger diners can chose between French Toast Sticks with fresh berries, or the S'mores Waffle with chocolate mousse.
Hampton admitted the Lobster Avocado Toast was her favorite new brunch item.
"It's sourdough bread, avocado, and delicious lobster," she said. "It has a sweetness and also a little heat, too. The flavors are just awesome."
Brunch also includes new drinks, like the Sunrise Smoothie (banana, blueberry, vanilla yogurt, almond milk) and the Blood Orange Mimosa, to complement the food.
"Guests love the new brunch dishes and drinks!" exclaimed Spell Terry. "Our culinary team works hard to create Latin-inspired, coastal cuisine with fresh seafood and local ingredients, and guests really appreciate it."
The regular menu that debuted three seasons ago is still in use, continuing to use fresh, local purveyors. Chef rotates out his very popular Pescado Del Dia special every week or so. Other highlights include the Ribeye Asado plate with red chimichurri, as well as the 10 taco options featuring everything from achiote fried pork belly to chili butter-poached lobster.
LaCo Latin Coastal Kitchen is located at 10343 E. Co. Hwy. 30A in Seacrest Beach. They are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and do not accept reservations. Reach them at 850-231-4021 or view the full menu at www.laco30a.com.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY— A new orchard of 80 mango and avocado trees has been delivered to the Shining Light Garden, a local nonprofit organization that grows food for 20 local food pantries, senior housing developments, veterans organizations and soup kitchens.
Each tree was donated by a member of the public who contributed $75 to cover the cost of a 7-foot tree. A wholesale nursery in Lake Worth delivered the mature trees this month to the 20-acre garden. Farmer Joel Bray has been planting the trees around the perimeter of the property and hopes to harvest his first crop next year.
The farm, started in 2008, is on 49th Street, just west of 66th Avenue in Vero Beach. It grows produce for food assistance programs and flowers distributed across Indian River County through the Visiting Nurses Association's hospice program.
Bray was honored in 2014 with a national Jefferson Award recognizing his work with the garden to help feed the homeless. The garden also was the recipient of a $100,000 Impact 100 grant that same year used to purchase necessities for the garden such as equipment, seed and fertilizer.

Bray said it volunteers suggested adding the mango and avocado trees to the garden because both produce nutritious and tasty fruit. A few lemon and lime trees also will be added to the mix.
"I'm always trying to think of ways to expand what we can offer," Bray said. "The orchard just seemed like the next step for the farm."
The Shining Light Garden Foundation raises money for the garden which is run with a volunteer staff. All of the money raised goes back into operations, with more than 10,000 bushels of produce donated to the needy since 2010. Most popular items include green beans, sweet potatoes and squash.
While Bray tends to crops, community liaison Greg Vafiades finds locations to distribute the food and to raise money for items such as seeds, tools and fuel.
Local charities such as Impact 100, John's Island Foundation and the Garden Club of Indian River County have been supportive of the farm, donating money and equipment, and volunteering at the garden.
"We'd love to feed thousands more people," Vafiades said. "There are always people in need and we believe we can help fulfill that need."

Q: have on outdoor clothes/outerwear Let's say you are currently wearing clothes only appropriate for indoor or should I say ''only good when your at home clothes'', and then your mother has asked you to:

have on outdoor clothes or have on outerwear because you and your immediate family are eating out.

Is this clear?, I mean, to improve your get-up because usually indoor clothes are just shorts, tshirts, and underwear, so you have to change your clothes. What is the correct English word for it?

A: Attires are broadly divided into two categories

casuals  formals

Casuals are what we wear daily. It may include comfortable clothing such as shorts. On the other hand, formals are the ones wore in special events and occasions such as ceremonies and conferences etc.
As the time passed, people started wearing casuals outside as well. In movies, resorts, and other leisure places, you find people wearing comfortable clothes. Then, there was another term introduced for clothes wore at homes - home wear.
A wide range of home wear products are available on the Internet. There is a little difference left between casuals and home wear these days! If I'm in my home wear and asked to go to a shop which is very nearby, I won't bother changing my clothes because they are actually casual! The best example I could think of is pajamas.

A: A useful phrasal verb is to dress up, which is used when people put on formal or fancy clothing for a special occasion.  Despite containing the word dress, it is not exclusively associated with the female garment that's also called a dress; a man can dress up in a suit and tie.
An example of this phrasal verb in context:

Are you wearing those shorts to dinner, or do you plan to dress up?

Often, people are said to be all dressed up once they have put on those clothes, so the phrase you were constructing in your question could look like this:

...all dressed up because you and your immediate family are eating out.

The phrase dress up has a second, closely related meaning: it's used when children put on an outfit for fun or to pretend to be someone they are not. In this sense, it can also be a noun: "The little girl was playing dress-up with her mother's clothes."

Examining the positives of battery 'track-and-trace'
Posted on 24 Sep 2021 by The Manufacturer
Never mind Covid passports. Would manufacturers benefit from comprehensive digital tagging and identification of lithium-ion batteries? Fleur Doidge reports.
While track-and-trace systems for Covid-19 have met with mixed results in many countries, applying a similar idea to lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) could help meet soaring demand in the automotive industry.
Ilias Belharouak, Section Head for Electrification at US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), suggests a type of battery identity global passport (BIGP) could help close the LiB waste loop from manufacturing cradle to recycling gate.
"Everyone involved in the battery value chain will benefit," Ilias says. "Less strain on mining and refining, battery manufacturers can secure materials feedstocks, recyclers will have less impact on the environment, and the public will see battery cost reduction."
ORNL's research review concludes that, for example, a scannable QR code or smart RFID tag could help identify and track materials, including cobalt and lithium itself – also reducing extraction of rare-earth minerals while assisting transport decarbonisation in the move to electric vehicles (EVs).
Dr Doron Myersdorf, Chief Executive of EV technology developer StoreDot, confirms BIGPs could be useful, although the concept is not without its difficulties – especially around global regulation and cooperation.
"If we can actually implement a system like that, passed on to the entire battery ecosystem from the raw materials to the battery recycling, with that traceability, it will be a very big thing for the planet and for the industry as a whole," Doron confirms.
Thinking differently – and globally
"The global community needs to start thinking differently about the future," Doron says. "What we've been doing so far, especially when it comes to recycling and the environment, has not been very productive, successful or efficient from the standpoint of the planet and goals of zero emissions."
BIGPs may even blaze a trail for thinking about the environment that benefits next generations. Today's thousands of battery manufacturers mostly have little notion of where their materials came from or how they have been extracted, Doron says.
A passport system could reduce global corruption and bribery, child labour and environmental destruction, even as demand for LiBs soars, he notes. "Today, it's like the wild West; people are exploited in the process. Then once you produce, you don't know where it's flowing, or how safe it is; you don't know how many charge discharge cycles you've had or second-life applications."
LiBs today can be buried 'somewhere in a desert', with future generations drinking water drawn from ground contaminated with heavy metals – somewhat countering the hard work and innovation going into developing greener energy and transport methods in the first place, he points out.
Similar concepts such as food labelling might not have delivered full transparency on product origins to consumers so far. On the other hand, Intel processor parts embedded in laptops can already be traced, providing information on specific batches, quality and safety issues, pricing of batches, and date of production.
BIGPs will be inconvenient, costly, and bureaucratic, requiring regulatory support, and more standardisation across the industry – similar to what has been happening in semiconductor production – would also be beneficial.
That said, BIGPs are still a 'smart and efficient' step towards a sustainable future, Doron says, while LiB data fed into artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications could also improve visibility and efficiencies in logistics and management of production across supply chains.
Working together on an implementation roadmap
Manufacturers and end users should work together to achieve key goals that ensure success. "By basically saying, 'this is how we want this to happen within 5-10 years' (and pushing for that) we can build a roadmap of implementation," Doron says.
Alan Colledge, Senior Manager of Hazardous Services at waste and resource manager at Cawleys, says various identification methods have been floated for tracking different types of LiBs. In his view, the concept can have value, especially when it comes to reuse.
Manufacturers incrementally improve and alter their battery designs, so identification is needed. A Nissan Leaf, for example, has gone through several generations — but that level of identification can be relatively straightforward.

"Opening up and seeing an electronic tag or some kind of indication as to what it is, where it's come from, what age, what is the state of charge, and all that kind of stuff can be less valuable: a Tesla battery is a Tesla battery, and we ask the question before we pick it up," he says.
A BIGP that's more intelligent, involving RFID chips or smart sensors that can interface with a battery management system throughout its lifetime, could be much more useful, Alan agrees.
Materials separation and recycling on the horizon
Cawleys has a UK commercial offering for EV battery recycling and disposal and is also an authorised exporter. Its workshop at Luton head office has been designed and built specifically for LiBs with fully insulated tooling and highvoltage engineering capabilities.
"It's a bit of an exciting time because we're going through the motions of doing the materials separation – this'll be one of the first [initiatives] of its kind in the UK," Alan says. Cawleys has moved on from its early commercial relationships to research and development firms doing the testing in factories and is now dealing increasingly with OEMs and contracts with other large companies, including nationwide automotive dealer networks receiving batteries that need to be collected.
"There's a lot of development at the moment," Colledge says. "We have only been able to go as fast as the sort of batteries that we're collecting; we're not dealing with a mountain of thousands of batteries yet."
When those mountains appear, the volumes will be balanced against the resource and the recycling capabilities and conversations will begin to change, he predicts. The company is investing now, anticipating profitable and sustainable economies of scale as the demand for replacement EV LiBs expands.
"Some of the largest German manufacturers of cars that we support, might have only 40 batteries in the country right now to make up. Which gives you an idea," Alan says. "But the cars are out there and even the waste side of things aren't likely to reach the volumes needed for about five years. Then earlier types of EV Vauxhall and Prius, Tesla Model S will be around 11 or 12 years old."
The shredding process is 'fraught with dangers' requiring full discharge beforehand and there has been no metallurgical treatment process in the UK. One difficulty is that jurisdictions differ on what is hazardous in the first place – the 'science behind it' isn't great, Alan says.
That said, in the next three to six months Cawleys expects to begin 'thoroughly' involving itself in the circular economy, in time to deliver marketable materials to the gigafactories expected to go into full production serving the EV market in the next five to ten years, he adds.
EVs and gigafactories set to change the future
Smaller, portable LiBs are a different story: managing several thousand iPhone batteries, for example, can be "impractical" and setting up waste processing facilities that include furnaces for burning chemical waste from batteries is controversial, he adds.
"The waste industry has few options and this is where you start seeing things being exported," Alan says. "But the demand for materials is likely to have a sea change once we have manufacturing kick in with UK sites bought for about four giga factories."
Lars Carlstrom is Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Italvolt, which is building a 45 GWh battery giga factory and research centre near Turin, Italy. Phase one of the project, aimed ultimately at supplying greener batteries to Europe's EV market, is set for completion in 2024.
Fully certifying an entire supply chain as well as the materials used, production process and afterlife presents considerable challenges, Lars agrees. However, he says almost complete recycling of LiB materials is possible.
"With the help of a battery passport, you can actually keep these things under control and by following the battery in a more precise way you know exactly where you are with it," he says. "This is the tricky part in all these industries."
But he suggests it might be more sustainable to localise the supply chain as much as possible, also benefiting local economies and creating jobs. When manufacturers must ship their batteries from Asia to Europe, that massively impacts the environment all by itself and in his view, batteries from Asia should have a 'green tax' of sorts levied.
Then there are regulatory and institutional difficulties; how can you know BIGP information is actually valid, whether certification is a public or private sector initiative? "You need to bring back the entire supply chain close to where the industry is," Lars says. "You have no control of how things are. And the supply chain side will probably come up with valid documents saying is great but it's hard to be sure. Mostly we need to have a control system for really checking it out."
Manufacturers and recyclers to play key roles
Carlstrom concedes that currently a global supply chain is essential, particularly for materials including certain minerals. However, much closer attention – and localisation – can still be achieved at the production level.
For him, battery passports are a step in the right direction but significant challenges remain. "I think it's a good intention, at least, but there's still a lot of work to do to make them valid and recognised and so on," he says.
Standardised fingerprints for every manufactured battery aligns with the battery passport concept: Image courtesy of StoreDot
"It's important to recognise the circular economy as a safeguard of the whole system." ORNL's Belharouak says BIGPs can deliver a standardised fingerprint for "each and every" battery manufactured worldwide also aligning with the GBA's battery passport concept, especially around battery supply chain resilience. "It's a practical solution to sorting all types of LiBs based on the chemistry these batteries contain," Belharouak maintains.
"As an example, the chemistry and materials information embedded in the BIGP database will allow recyclers to distinguish between those batteries that contain cobalt, how much of it, where it came from, et cetera."
This level of technoeconomic analysis can give recyclers much better information to work with, including more detail when sorting end-of-life battery feedstock. This should deliver confidence around the costs of and revenues achievable from a move away from current industrial recycling through pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes to direct recycling of LiBs, which is currently only at laboratory scale.
However, it all depends on acceptance and implementation of the solution by battery manufacturers, Lars says. "The big challenge is related to implementation. The battery community, especially the manufacturers and recyclers, will need to accept and move towards adoption of this concept. In a few years we expect there to be stockpiles of millions of tons of batteries ready for recycling," he says.
"Let us take inspiration from what humanity did in the recycling of lead acid batteries. Getting to 80-90% recycling of lead acid batteries took many years and a lot of determination. Within this new context, measures such as LiB recycling are getting renewed attention."
The stakes are rising fast with the increasing popularity of LIBs, especially in automotive
Economic and environmental imperatives are driving attempts to maximise the useful lifecycle of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)
A global battery identity passport for LIBs could help alleviate key climate and CSR issues while meeting commercial pressures (such as the rising cost of lithium, need for product quality and consistency)
Devising and implementing a global system that closes the loop on LIB manufacture and recycling presents multiple challenges – as do all chosen methods of recycling
However, a global battery identification system will also likely raise costs for industry, which must be passed on to the end use

By far, the record popular with gizmo to swot at my auditory communication university is the guitar. It is after all the definitive instrument of contemporary music for at least possible the final 50 age or so. But it is also by far the utmost defectively tutored of all the instruments. The Internet is weak next to programs, cd's, even set free online lessons, all meshed not to educate anything much than how to form a early buck off of unwitting those.
I've ne'er met anyone who has told me , "all I want to swot up is how to frisk whatsoever easy cattleman chords so I can sound few straightforward sappy repeat on songs like-minded Kum Ba Yah." Yes, here able to unbend the making known to "Smoke on the water"; in the incorrect key; "Back in black", yell dee do; and if they really practice, perchance they'll be able to drama "All along the ticker tower" or the climax of "Free bird", you know, the electronic jamming part, chords lone still. All this can take home the full-scale trainee say, "cool," but a guitarist, this does not generate. At best, near no greater past the guys who can hit those big monochromous buttons to the accurate temporal arrangement in Nintendo's "guitar hero" winter sport.
It's not single the eccentricity of the fools who try to tutor themselves, basic cognitive process the internet promotion of whatever article of trade they found, but location are a plenty of so titled teachers capitalizing on this. Every period they will simply show their students how to pirouette another opus that the student thinks is freeze. Awesome gallant. Well, now they cognize that. What is that? Nothing. Just that. Nothing. They can production those songs. They don't cognise how, or why. What just about the notes? What are those chords? What key is it in? You cognize what I'm speaking give or take a few. What more or less the music!? That's what it's all about, the music, and that evil word: guess. But to the parents who are profitable for the lessons, they hear midget Jonnie romp the channel to "Sweet environment Alabama" and think, wow that was excellent. Can't wait for you to dramatic work it for grandma, and kinsman Tony.
Private teachers that come up to your environment are the bad offenders in the commercial. Not that here aren't any acceptable ones, even extreme ones, but it has been my ill-fated discernment that the yawning figure aren't well-qualified to train. Even the ones that come through from companies that contend to "specialize" in the "at home" work. I know virtuous teachers who labour for these companies but ne'er even met any one from the company, no certificate were curbed and no interview specified. They were simply asked what at hand schedules were and beside in the period they were handed appointments, all their firm through by phone, and into your put up they come, to sit next to your offspring.
Even recommendations aren't honourable enough, because they may not cognize it either. Just ask grandparent and kinsman Tony. But, it's the fastest team you have. If you know person whose kid has taken more than a few lessons and seems to be doing all right and likes the teacher, hear how he drama and ask him a few questions. Ask more or less the theory, ask what chords he was playing, in what key, scale, notes, any point. It doesn't event that you have no concept what the answers are, so protracted as he has more than a few. That will at smallest possible bear out that in that is several variety of physical pedagogy occurring nearby. Teachers at regional music schools and those at the posterior of shopfront auditory communication stores are by and large advanced past the "at home lot." They have a manager who has a regional repute and company to prolong. Do the opinion and interrogate thing here as asymptomatic. It doesn't hard done by.
After the course begin, be involved, ask the questions of your own child, encourage, and applaud. You may possibly be doing us all a benignity. The international is set for the subsequent "Eric Clapton." Lord knows it's been a womb-to-tomb example approaching.
I know, it's stubborn but your sunday-go-to-meeting hard work and mistreatment your gut sixth sense will belike be the foremost teaching for all up to our necks.

101-Year-Old Mets Fan Celebrates Opening Day at Gurwin Jewish
By Jody Fisher In
In celebration of the New York Mets Opening Day of the 2017 Major League Baseball Season this past April, Austin & Williams worked with client Gurwin Jewish Family of Services to celebrate 101-year-old Gurwin resident Rudal "Rudy" Ahlen's love of the New York Mets and showcase the vibrant atmosphere at Gurwin.
Rudy was featured in a story in Newsday, McKnight's Long Term Care News and in a TV report on News12 Long Island, among others.
Ahlen has been rooting for the New York Mets since she was a young girl. Originally a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, Rudy switched allegiances when the "Bums" moved to Los Angeles. "I was so mad!" the mother of eight recalls. But ever since, she has remained faithful to her "Amazins." She's a player herself—and was the only female on an all-male seniors' baseball team on Long Island in her earlier days.
Rudy doesn't just love the classic lineups of 1969 and 1989. She can tell you the batting average of every current player, the ERA of the pitchers, and which rookie players are poised to have a breakout season. Game days are spent glued to her TV, keeping score and second-guessing decisions made by the Mets coaches. Her favorite player? David Wright, of course, because not only is he a good third baseman. "He's such a good looking guy!"
As a result of the news coverage secured by A&W, the Mets invited Rudy and her family to a game on June 1!

Shehbaz Sharif May Take Some Time to Appoint His Cabinet
April 18, 2022 0 Comments read General
Shehbaz Sharif may take time to appoint his Cabinet. Report suggests he is busy visiting Karachi and MQM-P's Bahadurabad headquarters. However, the new prime minister is unlikely to appoint his Cabinet until Thursday. This may also give him time to decide on his foreign policy. The new government is likely to move away from the anti-western rhetoric that Khan used, which damaged Pakistan's diplomatic relations with the West.
Shehbaz Sharif may take time to appoint his Cabinet because of the lack of consensus in the coalition. While Khan was united in opposition to Nawaz, Sharif's government was not. It did not have a clear policy agenda. Sharif's Cabinet will be composed of people from seven different parties, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, which is led by Sharif's brother, as well as the Pakistan People's Party, founded by the Bhutto family. Sharif's Cabinet is expected to include Asif Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto, the son of Benazir Bhutto.
Shehbaz Sharif's name suggests he has an excellent reputation with the Chinese leadership. In fact, Sharif played a major role in the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, and his family has previous engagements with Beijing. While Khan has strong ties with China, Sharif's background is better for the bilateral relationship.
Pakistan's political crisis has escalated over the last week. The country's military has repeatedly intervened in the past, including the dissolution of Parliament. The new prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, is a younger brother of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. Both have been plagued by allegations of corruption and have undergone investigations.
While the new prime minister may not appoint his Cabinet right away, he's likely to finalise his list of cabinet members by tonight. PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and PML-Q leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman are likely to be in the federal cabinet. Meanwhile, the PPP will give Sherry Rehman and Mustaf Nawaz Khokhar a ministerial position. Among the female candidates are Maryam Aurangzeb and Rana Sanaullah. She will also likely be a minister of information.
Despite these obstacles, the former prime minister is expected to fare better than Khan. However, Sharif's political career has been fraught with controversy – he was accused of ordering extrajudicial killings. As the new prime minister, Sharif will have to deal with a coalition of political parties whose members have been at loggerheads for decades. Sharif will probably not choose to remain in a coalition as the general elections approach.
In an interview with The New York Times, he explained the foreign policy priorities of his government. In Pakistan, he reaffirmed the country's close ties with China and criticized Imran Khan's mishandling of the Saudi Arabian government. He also mentioned the disputed issue of Kashmir and rescinded Article 370 in the Indian Constitution.
