Walking in Southern England is a delightful way to experience the rolling hills and expanses of farmland pasture that are typical of the English countryside. You can wind your way through historical landscapes and ancient woodlands to discover old churches, abbeys and inns. You can escape to the coast and experience the heights of the spectacular white chalk clifftops with rewarding views across to the Isle of Wight, the English Channel and beyond. A walking holiday on the Cotswold Way or the South Downs Way is a relaxing way to enjoy the hidden treasures of Southern England.
The Cotswold Way is a National Trail starting in the traditional market town of Chipping Campden and winds its way to the famous city of Bath with extensive Roman archaeology, Roman baths and hot springs. The walking is peaceful, taking you on countryside lanes and paths, along escarpments and through commons and woodlands. Along the way there is a myriad of historical sites to explore as you pass through Medieval wool towns, Neolithic Burial Barrows and ancient abbeys and churches. There are warm and welcoming villages and towns that are home to charming inns and buildings crafted from rich Cotswold stone.
A walking holiday on the South Downs Way takes you on a journey across the South of England, from the historical city of Winchester to finish on the dramatic cliffs of Beachy Head before descending into Eastbourne. Follow in the footsteps of ancient travellers on trade routes that date back to the Stone Age as you pass over expansive fields and the landscape of the downs. Take the opportunity along the way to visit ancient hill forts, take in the magnificent views of the Seven Sisters and simply enjoy the diverse array of wild flowers and butterflies.
The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast path is a straightforward, flat walk suitable for most abilities; there are just a few longer days on the Peddars Way. It would make a great first long distance walk as the route is very well signposted and easy to follow. There is plenty of interest along the way, from beautiful beaches, historic buildings and nature reserves to Victorian seaside towns, restaurants and cafes. A relaxed, peaceful walk through some of the nicest parts of Norfolk.
The South West Coast path is England's longest waymarked long-distance footpath and National Trail. The trail covers a total of 630 miles along the spectacular coast of Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. We offer eight holidays on the best parts of the route. From the start of the route in north Devon we have Minehead to Westward Ho! This is followed by two holidays in north Cornwall, from Westward Ho! to Padstow and from Padstow to St Ives. Then in south and west Cornwall we have three holidays covering St Ives to Penzance, Penzance to Falmouth and Falmouth to Plymouth. In south Devon we can offer you Exmouth to Lyme Regis and in Dorset we have Lyme Regis to Poole, taking you to the end of the full route.
Each walk is worth doing in its own right or you can put two or more together if you have the time!
The route is challenging, there are no big mountains but there is plenty of climbing and descending through all the coves that line the route. It can be rocky underfoot in places too but the route is well waymarked and easy to navigate.
The many beautiful beaches, fascinating history, fishing villages and imposing cliffs make this an unforgettable walk.
This is a delightful route that explores the picturesque English villages of the Cotswolds, roaming though a beautiful green landscape of rolling hills and ancient woodland. The trail ends in the World Heritage City of Bath.
The Peddars Way and the Norfolk Coast Path combine to make a very accessible 93 mile walk, taking in the best parts of the Norfolk countryside and coastline.
The Peddars Way is an ancient road dating back to the Bronze Age, then developed into a military route in Roman times and later used by pilgrims during the 15th century. The route is straight and flat following mostly green lanes and tracks with some interesting archaeological sites along the way.
The Norfolk Coast Path follows the coast from Hunstanton to Cromer for 45 miles. With interesting Victorian seaside towns, fishing villages, beautiful beaches and nature reserves with a wealth of bird life, there is plenty to see along the coast.
An easy-to-follow gentle walk through the Norfolk countryside.
Lovely coastal villages and interesting historical buildings.
Lots of birdlife and internationally recognised wildlife reserves.
From the historic market town of Winchester the route follows the rolling countryside of the South Downs to the dramatic chalk cliffs of Beachy Head on the English Channel.
The South Downs Way starts at the ancient and historic city of Winchester and follows the northern crest of the chalk escarpment of the South Downs, all the way to the sea. Stretching for 100 miles through England's newest National Park, to the seaside town of Eastbourne, this walking holiday offers a fabulous taste of this lovely rural area, with spectacular views, expansive fields, beautiful woodlands, picturesque villages and huge amounts of history.
The South Downs Way is well marked and easy to follow. It is used by horses and cyclists, so is very accessible, with almost no stiles. It links many ancient and historic tracks, used by travellers and traders since the Stone Age. It is one of the easiest National Trails, with few steep sections, apart from when the route drops down into river valleys, and for the descent to overnight stays in the pretty towns, villages and farms along the way.
Although seldom exceeding 250m (820ft), this walking holiday gives a great feeling of space, and a sense of being 'on top of the world'. Passing iron age hill forts, the spectacular chalk formations of The Devil's Dyke and the Seven Sisters and rolling countryside with fields of grazing sheep, corn and wild flowers, the South Downs Way offers a magnificent sense of solitude, centuries of history and a cross section of one of the most beautiful parts of southern England.

The Thames Path National Trail follows the greatest river in England for 184 miles (294 Km) from its trickling source at a spring in the rural Cotswolds to its vast presence at the Thames Barrier, just a few miles before it meets the sea.
This route boasts tranquil water meadows, fabulous wildlife and wildflowers, quaint villages, historic market towns, gothic towers, cities and many locks.
This river, once vital to trade, helped grow England's capital to the size it is. As railways and roads took over, this great trading route started to fall into decline. Discussions started back in the 1930s about how they could put the old Thames tow path to use but it was not until after further discussions, and with the help of many groups of people (including the Ramblers Association and the River Thames Society), that 16 miles of new tow path was built and the Thames Path became a fully opened National Trail in 1996.
Always so helpful when contacting you. Great accommodation. Very personal service. Feel I can phone with any concerns and you are helpful. Don't feel like a number.
We enjoyed the hike and liked the variation of guest houses and hotels, very friendly people, very well received. We enjoyed the luxury of the room with tea and coffee, etc, excellent packed lunches and our luggage transport.

Eating red meat may increase Alzheimer's risk
By Teresa Tanoos G+ Aug 25 2013 - 11:07am
If you're a red meat lover, you may be increasing your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
As researchers from the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA explained, eating too much red meat increases iron levels in the brain, which can hasten the damaging reactions of free radicals.
Over time, iron accumulates in gray matter regions of the brain, further raising the risk of developing Alzheimer's and other age-related illnesses, such as dementia.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, memory loss is mild in the early stages. But with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment.
Most Alzheimer's experts agree that it is caused by one of two proteins: 1) Tau; and 2) Beta-amyloid. As we age, these two proteins either disrupt communication between neurons in the brain, or they kill them off.
However, researchers involved in this study, including team leader Dr. George Bartzokis, believe that iron build up is a third likely cause of Alzheimer's.
Dr. Bartzokis and his team used sophisticated high- and low-field strength MRI brain-imaging instruments to compare the hippocampus and the thalamus of the brain. In Alzheimer's patients, the hippocampus is damaged early on, but the thalamus doesn't suffer damage until the late stages of the disease.
This was evidenced by the MRI scans that revealed iron accumulated over time in the hippocampus, but not in the thalamus. The research team also saw a link between iron accumulation in the hippocampus and tissue damage in that region.
Although scientists do not know exactly what causes cell death and tissue loss in the Alzheimer's brain, prime suspects are plaques and tangles. Tangles are strands of twisted proteins.
Most researchers concentrate on the accumulation of two proteins, beta-amyloid or tau, both of which cause the tell-tale plaques associated with Alzheimer's. But for a long time, Bartzokis had been saying that the breakdown starts off much further "upstream".
As Bartzokis explained, communication between neurons is disrupted when myelin, a fatty tissue in the brain, is destroyed. Myelin coats nerve fibers, stimulating the build-up of amyloid plaques that, in turn, destroy more myelin in a vicious cycle of destruction. The more the brain's neurons get disrupted over time, the more the nerve cells are destroyed; thus, resulting in the classic signs of Alzheimer's.
He added that myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which are a type of brain cell that, along with myelin, have the highest iron levels of any brain cells.
"Circumstantial evidence has long supported the possibility that brain iron levels might be a risk factor for age-related diseases like Alzheimer's," says Bartzokis.
While iron is crucial for cell function, too much of it promotes oxidative damage, which the brain is especially susceptible to. Accordingly, Bartzokis and his colleagues wanted to find out if high tissue iron might play a role in causing the tissue breakdown associated with Alzheimer's.
The study included 31 Alzheimer's patients and 68 healthy individuals of the same age as controls. The research team focused on the hippocampus, the brain region involved in the formation of memories, comparing the hippocampus to the thalamus, a region of the brain that, unlike the hippocampus, remains mostly unaffected until the very late stages of the Alzheimer's.
During the MRI, the researchers measured the amount of iron in the brain that was stored inside a protein – ferritin. However, Bartzokis pointed out that measuring iron can be difficult in Alzheimer's patients, as the amount of water in their brains increases with the progression of the disease.
"It is difficult to measure iron in tissue when the tissue is already damaged. But the MRI technology we used in this study allowed us to determine that the increase in iron is occurring together with the tissue damage," Bartzokis said.
"We found that the amount of iron is increased in the hippocampus and is associated with tissue damage in patients with Alzheimer's but not in the healthy older individuals - or in the thalamus. So the results suggest that iron accumulation may indeed contribute to the cause of Alzheimer's disease," he added.
The research team also reported that the accumulation of iron in the brain could be due to environmental factors, such as the amount of red meat consumed, iron supplements taken, or whether a female patient had a hysterectomy prior to menopause (because such procedure is known to increase iron levels in the brain).
"The data shows that in AD, Hipp damage occurs in conjunction with ferritin iron accumulation. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate how increasing iron levels may influence the trajectory of tissue damage and cognitive and pathologic manifestations of AD," the researchers concluded.
Meanwhile, in another study published in the March 2013 issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland reported that an iron imbalance caused by prion proteins collecting in the brain, is probably the cause of cell death in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or CJD.
The Cleveland research team added that certain proteins detected in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's also regulate iron, which they say suggests that "neurotoxicity by the form of iron, called redox-active iron, may be a trait of neurodegenerative conditions in all three diseases."
"There are many skeptics who think iron is a bystander or end-product of neuronal death and has no role to play in neurodegenerative conditions," said study leader Neena Singh. "We're not saying that iron imbalance is the only cause, but failure to maintain stable levels of iron in the brain appears to contribute significantly to neuronal death."
Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that has become increasingly prevalent over the years. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and starts off with symptoms of dementia that gradually worsen over a number of years.
Those with Alzheimer's live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others, but survival can range from four to 20 years, depending on age and other health conditions. To date, there have been very few effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease, which further proves the disease is an extremely challenging one to battle.

Charlie Avis "Business from & for Nature"
Active between 2003–09, One Europe, More Nature was a pioneering World Wildlife Fund initiative that set out to explore new connections between business and nature conservation. The initiative's goal was to solve environmental problems by developing, testing, and implementing practical business/nature mechanisms that benefit business, nature, and local people. In all of these projects, businesses did not merely reduce their footprint; they actively created or enhanced the landscape, the biodiversity, or both. The One Europe, More Nature experiences demonstrate that the needs of nature can—if cleverly addressed—be entirely compatible with the economic realities of life. Indeed, they can be the fundamental starting point for profit and for income, not to mention health, wellbeing, quality of life, and the needs of future generations.Charlie Avis was the project manager for One Europe, More Nature.

    console.log("Params::params: " + JSON.stringify(params));

    try {
        let iotPromise = await iotData.publish(params).promise();
        console.log('AWS IoT: resp: ' + JSON.stringify(iotPromise))
        return iotPromise;
    } catch (e) {
      console.log("Error: " + e);
    }
  }

Response is an empty value

AWS IoT: resp: {}

Is it normal or mistake from code? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Edited
Add "await" to promise

A: What you are logging to the console is not the response but the promise. If you want to inspect the response within your function, you need to await it like so
async function sendIot() {
  const response = await iotData.publish(params).promise();
  console.log('AWS IoT: resp: ' + JSON.stringify(response));
}

A: Response Elements
Yes, by default response is empty object. If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.
Please refer the official link for more info https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/apireference/API_iotdata_Publish.html

Some Gay Men Are Drawn To Anti-Gay Authoritarian Leaders. Here's Why.
From top, clockwise: Aaron Schock, József Szájer, Roy Cohn, Richard Grenell
Michelangelo makes some great points as to why some gay men are drawn to anti-gay leaders who are, in fact, working against their own interests. This is true for some closeted gays as well as out gays.
Via The Signorile Report:
Ultimately, what's the difference if they're out or not, if they don't stand up against the assault? Trump has been the most anti-LGBTQ president in history. I'd argue the situation is actually worse with people like Grenell than with closeted aides because by being out they help create an illusion of gay acceptance, giving the authoritarian cover even as he takes rights from LGBTQ people to placate enemies of equality.
Religious conservatives, to whom Trump bows, have learned to accept allowing an openly gay person in the administration to put on an appearance of tolerance (especially as long as the person is down with the rest of the far-right agenda). It's a more efficient way to hurt the LGBTQ rights movement in a country in which the movement has made much progress and has broad acceptance. (I've written in The Washington Post about Grenell's charade and the cover he's given Trump.)
