It's an absolute pleasure to share this recipe. Not only because I love the finished result and photos, but this was a challenge set by Morrisons as part of a campaign to promote their Free From range. I was sent a very generous delivery of mystery ingredients matched to the kind of things I make – and as you can see below, this basically sums up my store cupboard!
Straight away I thought: RAW CHEESECAKE. Yes. As you'll see in the recipe below, it's pretty straight forward to make yet the result is a decadent and stunning dessert, free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar. You can choose to leave the brownies out (they contain dairy) but overall, it's a great one to make if you're aiming to impress and can be made in advance. Who said eating free from had to be boring?!
Mix together the oats, coconut and cocoa powder in a bowl. Gently melt the coconut oil, cashew butter and maple syrup in a small pan, then remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir well to combine – it should come together and be slightly sticky. Press into the base of a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Chill.
Drain the cashew nuts and place in a blender with the other ingredients. Blend well until completely smooth, then pour onto the base and spread out evenly. Place in the freezer for 2 hours.
Once the cheesecake has been in the freezer for 2 hours, the vanilla coconut cream will be just about set. Decorate with fresh berries in whatever pattern you want, gently pushing them in. Leave space in the middle if you want to serve with brownies for extra indulgence. Return to the freezer for at least one hour.
When you're ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the freezer about 10 minutes beforehand, to thaw out a little. Meanwhile, gently melt the coconut oil and maple syrup then whisk in the cocoa powder until you have a glossy chocolate sauce. Cut the brownie into small chunks and arrange on top, then drizzle over the sauce. Now slice up and serve!
Hope you like it 🙂 Thanks Morrisons and Cirkle PR for this opportunity!


Thanks to the Armed Forces of Malta, three local target shooters have begun training for the IDPA European Championship to be held in Brescia, Italy in October of this year where 180 shooters will be taking part from Slovania, Italy, Russia and Malta.
Their gratitude goes to the Commander of the AFM who like his predecessors has been continued in their tradition of supporting local target shooters. We all know that the AFM has been instrumental in launching target shooting in Malta and time and again has proven its continued support by very generously allowing shooters to make use of their facilities for many years now.
The sport of target shooting is getting ever so popular in Malta and Gozo that it has become apparent that the AFM Safi range can no longer cater for such an increased demand. In this context private ranges are urgently required. Once private ranges are functional, the next logical step is to set up the right conditions for what could become another important economic contributor for the Maltese Islands, a new niche for the tourism industry, as undoubtedly this would see the influx of hundreds of target shooters with their families from the continent.
IDPA is a fast growing dynamic target shooting discipline that above all teaches shooters to be safe. Safety is paramount. A good IDPA shooter is a safe shooter. Competitions are generally shot utilising pistols and revolvers but now IDPA have sanctioned and published new rules for Tri-Gun competitions as well. These utilise three types of firearms; handguns, shotguns and rifles/carbines.
This year the shooters are; Patrick Azzopardi – President of the Pistol & Rifle Club MSSF, Mark Cassar and John Cassar both members of the MSSF. John Cassar being also the IPDA and Safety officer Instructor for the Maltese Islands. MSSF would also like to thank the Parliamentary Secretariat for Youth and Sports for their support.


Debbi's family live in another state but came to Colorado Springs to watch their son Carson graduate the Air Force Academy last week. Since they were all in the same place at the same time, what better time than to get family pictures taken? And there is no more iconic place in Colorado Springs to take them than Garden of the Gods. I never know what to expect when I met a new family for pictures. Right away I could see the love and fun that bond this family together. So of course, I had to include some of the silly photos! They have such a great time together, this group! I think it's great! It reminds me so much of my own family when we get together.
Debbi is a fun grandma too and we got a few pictures of her having fun playing with her oldest grandson. I love these kind of candid photos! Such great memories captured on camera.
Good luck with everything, Carson and congratulations on your graduation!

Click here for Final Results and here for a Slideshow of pictures from the last day of sailing and the prizegiving on 28 August.
A perfect day to finish this year's series with sunshine and a moderate northerly that eased through the morning for the twenty five boats turned out. All eleven Lasers raced and we were treated to a battle for the minor places behind runaway winner Paul Pettit. Open A also saw close racing with three different boats taking line honours.
Today's pictures are mainly from race two (clockwise from top left): P and Optis at the start race, Lasers at top mark; Open A and Starling at top mark; and happy faces at the end of the prize giving.
Another great day's sailing in a moderate north easterly (that turned northerly during the morning) with thirteen boats coming to the line for the first of three races. The course was laid with a top mark well upwind of the clubroom, no wing mark, and a bottom mark gate (guess who's been watching the Olympics?). Connor Adams (Optimist Green) and Paul Pettit (Laser) had perfect days and Richard Schmidt took advantage of the the absence of the Paremata / Plimmertion juniors in their Sunburst to open up a gap at the top of Open A. Sabre Ostenberry (Opti A) is now uncatchable but the leads could change next weekend for all of the other classes.
Today's pictures are from the second race and show (clockwise from top left): Paul Pettit just after rounding the top mark: Paul Mygind and Chris McCarthy start their rounding at the same mark; Jack Matthews approaching the bottom mark, closely followed by Connor Adams and Sabre Ostenberry; and Connor and Sabre about to enter the gate.
Twenty boats on the water showed what a difference a small increase in temperature and a drop in wind speed can make. The breeze turned up on cue just before 10am and quickly settled in as a light to gentle northerly which, on our bit of Porirua harbour, meant a north westerly at the top mark and a north easterly at the bottom. Top performers on the day were Todd and Jack Olson winning all three of the Open A races in a very competitive class. It remains tight at the top of Open A with the PBC Sunburst (crewed today by Fergus Baxter and Darby Georgeson) and Richard Schmidt's Navigator (crewed today by Brian Hogg) both taking 8 points on the day. Richard now leads the series by 1 point after the first discards are counted. Paul Pettit blotted his copybook with a fourth in the third Laser race (his discard so far) and has a healthy 12 point lead going in to the back end of the series.
Fisherman's tale of the day came from Keith Fey who had two piper jump on board in separate incidents - I've been assured that both were returned unharmed and that neither gave him any assistance.
Today's pictures are (clockwise from top left): traffic at the top mark in race one; same again in race two; Caleb Baxter (P427) hard on the heels of James Bitchener (P846) in race three; and Liz Kennedy in her Laser shadowed by Emily McCarthy in her Optimist closing on the top mark in race three.
The coldest day of the series so far. A bitter, moderate south easterly produced some of the best sailing conditions we've had this year with big shifts keeping everyone on their toes. The cold and the early morning rain kept many away and only seven boats (5 Lasers, a Sunburst and a Navigator) came out to race. Paul Pettit made the most of the day taking three guns in the Lasers and opening up a bit of gap ahead of Chris McCarthy and Joseph Bailey. Open A couldn't be closer with the PBC Sunburst (crewed today by Caleb and Fergus Baxter) taking two guns to draw level on 9 points with Richard Schmidt's Navigator (crewed today by Hugh Blank).
Everybody gets in the pictures today, which are (clockwise from top left): Open A leaving the bottom mark in race 3; Tom Kerr finishing race 2 just ahead of Chris McCarthy; Paul Pettit and Joseph Bailey leaving the bottom mark in race 3; and Alan Stewart on the beat in race 3.
With the hills providing some welcome shelter from the cold, variable, moderate westerly, sailing went ahead on a day that most expected to be a cancellation. Fourteen boats started the first race but the conditions took their toll and we were down to nine for the third race of the day. With the wind shifting between westerly and south westerly, going out to the edge of the course was risky and produced big gains or losses for those who tried it. The cold appeared to get the better of some of the Laser fleet with navigational mistakes being compounded by following the boat in front - perhaps we need a lead boat for next week?
Today's pictures (clockwise from top left) are : Lasers in race 2 at the top mark for the first time; Sabre Ostenberry (4426) and Fergus Baxter (4135) after race 2; and Richard and Mason relaxing over a hot drink before race 3 - one of the benefits of sailing a bigger boat!
Eighteen boats enjoyed slightly better conditions than the previous week with sunshine, clear skies and a fresh gusty northwester that again kept the rescue crews busy through the day. Junior numbers were well down with the Starlings all absent and Connor Adams the only Optimist racing. James Bitchener took three firsts in Open B (all Ps so far) and Todd & Jack Olson (Open A) came close with a second spoiling a perfect morning for them. The Laser races were hard fought with Paul Pettit, Tom Kerr and Finlay Georgeson each winning one race. The group one races are now complete and congratulations go to all of the winners. Special mention to Caleb Baxter and Darby Georgeson who won Open A in their Sunburst and headed off some very experienced competition.
Three of today's photos are from the start area and give a misleading impression of the conditions. The fourth one is Connor Adams bailing out after his only capsize of the day in the third race.
Well done to everyone who came out to race today in the toughest conditions yet with a strong gusty northerly that gradually built through the morning for this year. It was great to see sailors testing themselves (and their boats) against the elements. Twenty boats were on the water for race one but numbers were down dramatically for races two and three with five and four boats respectively. Here's hoping for better conditions for next Sunday when, if we get one race away, we'll finish group one of the series - if not, we'll be back for the scheduled lay day on 10 July.
Rescue duties kept your photographer busy and meant no pictures from the first race and a handful from the other two. We have managed to capture every one of the sailors in the last two races and, from the top down, they are Fergus Baxter, Joseph Bailey, Chris McCarthy and Tom Kerr, and Paul Pettit. Special mention to Joseph Bailey for the longest and most spectacular downwind capsize of the day - he got so close to saving it!
Challenging conditions again as the weather delivered a dying north westerly for the first race and a southerly change after the second got underway that had us in survival mode for the end of that race. The third race was abandoned just as we were getting into the start sequence. Shania Ostenberry (Starling) is now the only sailor with a perfect record and she, her brother Sabre (Opti A), Emily McCarthy (Opti Green) and Paul Pettit (Laser) have established a bit of a gap at the front of their fleets. Special mention today for Emily McCarthy and Joseph Simcock for battling through to finish the second race in truly awful conditions for Opti Green. Today's photos (from the top) shows the Laser starts from both races (note the blue sky and breeze for the first) and the Opti Greens waiting for the Open A and Starling fleet to get under way.
Racing for the day was cancelled with a forecast predicting north westerlies of 20kts gusting 40kts for the harbour. The wind peaked at around 9am and then dropped through the morning but with heavy rain setting in towards lunchtime, there would have been very few sailors regretting the cancellation decision.
Brilliant weather over Queen's Birthday weekend saw a great turnout of 24 boats and the biggest Laser fleet (11 boats) we've had for a Winter Series for many years. The wind was a late arrival, finally turning up an hour after the scheduled 10am first start. With a bit of juggling, we still managed to get three races away on a very short course that kept all of the classes close together and produced some tight finishes. Too much happening to get many pictures but here's a few from early in the third race.

Chongqing Liangjiang Innovation Zone shortlisted for Global MIPIM Award
Chapman Taylor's masterplan design for Liangjiang Innovation Zone in Chongqing, China, has been shortlisted for a prestigious MIPIM Award in the "Best Futura Mega Project Category".
The MIPIM Awards ceremony is a prestigious event held every year at the MIPIM property event, a four-day gathering of influential names from across the global property industry. MIPIM attracts over 26,000 participants, with 3,800 exhibitors, more than 480 speakers and 130 conference events.
The awards honour the very best projects from around the world, across building development sectors. This year's MIPIM exhibition take place at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes from 10 – 13 March, with the awards ceremony occurring on Thursday 12 March.
Chapman Taylor won a major international design competition to create the Liangjiang urban innovation zone on a 680-hectare site in the major Chinese city of Chongqing. Liangjiang has been chosen by the Chinese government as a developmental 'new area' for Chongqing, which has a population of over 30 million people and is one of China's four centrally governed municipalities.
Chapman Taylor's masterplan concept is based on the integration of the beautiful natural environment with new technology facilities, and creates a connected series of five university campuses surrounded by R&D clusters. The organic form of the campuses follows the undulating contours of the existing site, producing a dynamic combination of urban spaces.
The valley formed by the hills to the east and west perimeter of the site is to become a lake. At the northern end will be a national laboratory and the 'Centre of Ideas', a place which is the collaborative heart of the masterplan. The south of the lake is surrounded by beautiful landscape interspersed with social, sports and cultural villages, which are a contemporary interpretation of the traditional villages of the region. There is also a four-storey mountaintop exhibition centre, with state-of-the-art facilities and stunning views over the valley.
The masterplan is a fully transit-orientated development and provides railway, metro, BRT, electric bus and water taxi connections throughout the site. Sustainability is embedded in the project, which is planned to be self-sufficient in energy needs – using solar, biomass and hydroelectric power sources, resulting in a saving of over 450,000 tons of CO² per annum.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this exciting urban development on a well-deserved nomination.

Update #2:
A) The VM Host of the DC, a VM, clock was behind the same amount.
B)
C:\WINDOWS>w32tm /resync
Sending resync command to local computer...
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

A: @amber My fault - you're right - very old versions of w32tm like the one in Server 2003 don't have the /query parameter. I was attempting to verify whether your system really was synchronizing with the navy.mil NTP server or not. You can still go traipsing through the registry to find the Windows Time settings, but I'd rather not. The stripchart verifying the huge offset between you and the NTP server tells me that you aren't actually synchronizing time with the navy.mil server like you think you are. But it also verifies that you can connect to the NTP server and read time from it, which is good.
If this is a virtual machine, I would disable the VM IC time sync integration and/or fix the time on the hypervisor.

Ben Armstrong, Hyper-V Program Manager, says never disable the Hyper-V time integration service, but he's not the boss of me, I say it's OK to do it in certain circumstances.  :)
In situations where you have both the virtual machine time integration service turned on, and you also have internet NTP configured, the VM Time IC service typically overrides NTP. Which I think is what you're seeing here.
If this is a physical machine, I would start by just blowing away the existing w32time configuration and resetting to factory defaults, with these commands:
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time

Then set your configuration to synchronize with the upstream NTP server like so:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"tock.usno.navy.mil,0x8" /syncfromflags:MANUAL /reliable:yes /update

I would recommend that you set multiple time sources, which you can do by separating them with spaces, such as "tock.usno.navy.mil 0.us.pool.ntp.org"enclosing the whole thing with a set of quotation marks.  The ,0x8 part after the server name is a bitmap, and can be any one of or a combination of 0x1, 0x2, 0x4, and/or 0x8.

0x1   Instead of following the NTP specification, wait for the
  interval specified in the SpecialPollInterval entry before attempting
  to recontact this time source. Setting this flag decreases network
  usage, but it also decreases accuracy.
0x2   Use this time source only as a fallback. If all time sources
  that are not fallbacks have failed, then the system selects one
  fallback time source at random and uses it.
0x4   Set the local computer to operate in symmetric active mode in
  the association with this source.
0x8   Set the local computer to operate in client mode in the
  association with this source.

You only want to set this configuration on your forest root PDCe.  Everything else in your domain will use the Active Directory domain hierarchy to locate a time source.  You don't want to point everything in your AD domain at an external time source.
You may find it more important that you fix the NTP time on your hypervisor first. If you only fix your forest root PDCe, but you leave all your other virtual machines synchronizing incorrect time from the same hypervisor, then you'll leave yourself in a situation where your domain controllers have different time than all the domain members, and Kerberos authentication will break down, and you won't be able to log on to anything in the domain.
I bolded the above paragraph because I'm warning you to be careful and think about what will happen before you go flipping switches. :)
Lastly, plan for upgrade path away from Server 2003.  The clock is ticking fast.

Download "L P 75A AVENUE HIGH RISE PROPOSAL. Monday, December 17, Date: Annacis Meeting Room City Hall. Location: 4:30-5:15 pm. Time:"
2 MEMORANDUM City of Delta Community Planning & Development To: From: Date: Subject: File No.: CC: Mayor & Council Marcy Sangret Director of Community Planning & Development December 12, 2018 Council Workshop for the 75A Avenue High Rise Proposal LU Ken Kuntz, Acting City Manager This purpose of this memo is to provide supporting information for the December 17,2018 Council Workshop on the 75A Avenue high rise proposal. The applicant, Aloke Chowdhury, requested a Council Workshop to provide an update on the application prior to proceeding to Council for consideration of the bylaws. Proposal Summary The high rise proposal is located at the northwest corner of 75A Avenue and 120 Street (Attachment A). The applicant is proposing to consolidate five properties and a portion of lane into one development site to permit a mixed-use project with a 35-storey building containing 280 apartment units, eight ground level townhouse units, a 82.2 m 2 (885 ft2) commercial unit (e.g. coffee shop) and a m 2 (2,951 ft2) child care facility. A threestorey building with six townhouse dwelling units is also proposed along 119A Street for a total of 294 units. The majority of the parking is located in four levels of underground parking accessed from a new rear lane north of the development site extending from 120 Street to 119A Street. The applicant's workshop submission is provided as Attachment B. The applicant is proposing a variety of dwelling unit types including: 75 apartment units with one bedroom or one bedroom plus den ranging in size from 45.6 m 2 (491 ft2) to 75.3 m 2 (81 ft2). 205 apartment units with two bedrooms or more ranging in size from 68 m 2 (732 ft2) to 150 m 2 (1,615 ft2). 14 townhouse units with two bedrooms plus den and three bedrooms ranging in size from 101 m 2 (1,087 ft2) to m 2 (1,629 ft2). To proceed with the subject proposal, an Official Community Plan amendment, rezoning, road closure, development variance permit, development permit and subdivision (lot consolidation) are required.
3 City of Delta Community Planning & Development Subject: Council Workshop for the 75A Avenue High Rise Proposal Page 2 of 3 File No: LU Community Amenity The applicant is proposing to provide the m 2 (2,951 ft2) child care facility, adjacent outdoor play area and associated parking spaces to the City of Delta as a community amenity contribution. Additionally, the applicant would provide a cash contribution towards tenant improvements and either construction of the outdoor play area or a cash contribution. A memorandum of understanding has been drafted that would be signed by the owners prior to Council's consideration of the first and second readings of the application bylaws. Public Consultation Summary Two public information meetings were held on September 21 and November 29,2017. Both meetings were well attended and staff have received 171 comment sheets or s to date. The majority of the correspondence received is in opposition to the proposal based on traffic impacts, inconsistency with the Official Community Plan, height and density. Additionally, a 560-name petition in support and a 1,004-name petition in opposition have been received. A letter has been sent to residents within the notification area (Attachment A) advising that the application, which has been on hold at the applicant's request since May 2018, is now active. The project webpage ( has also been updated to reflect the current status. Committee Review Summary Community Planning Advisory Committee: The Community Planning Advisory Committee reviewed this application on February 1, Committee members expressed the following concerns: e The 35-storey proposal is overbuilt and out of scale with the surrounding context. e The proposal is too high and too dense. e The project is well designed, but is in the wrong location. The Delta Rise project is in a better location. t There is a discrepancy between what is allowed in the Official Community Plan and what is being proposed. The proposal is unfair to neighbouring residents who originally bought a home in the area based on the current land use designation outlined in the Official Community Plan.


Sinclair Theatre will present SILENT SKY, February 8-16 in its Black Box Theatre, Building 2, on the downtown Dayton campus.
Much like the movie "Hidden Figures," this play, by Lauren Gunderson, centers on actual women pioneers of astronomy. Female "computers" were paid very little to do the scientific calculations for their male counterparts in the early 1900s. Despite not being allowed to touch the observatory telescope, title character and real-life astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, is credited with discovering how to measure the universe in 1912.
Directed by Kimberly Borst, the cast of SILENT SKY includes: Sydney Baker as Henrietta Leavitt, Amber Smith as Annie Cannon, Nikki Bentz as Williamina Fleming, Katelyn Pennington as Margaret Leavitt and Christopher Goetz as Peter Shaw.
General admission tickets cost $10 each and are available online now at www.sinclair.edu/tickets.
Performance times are: 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, one Sunday (2/10) matinee at 2 p.m. and a 7 p.m. Valentine's Day performance.

Malawi National Parks and Reserves
© Safari by boat in Liwonde
Explore the beautiful Malawi National Parks and Wildlife Reserves with their diverse landscape, including: scenic highlands, rolling hills, deep forests, steep valleys and wide lakes filled with unique fish.Enjoy untouched wilderness areas, beautiful scenery, wild animals and water sports. The famous Lake Malawi even boasts a World Heritage Site at Cape Maclear, a very busy and popular resort with little islands which are home to some animals. Go snorkelling or canoeing and see the Big Five, or listen out for the African Fish Eagle on a game walk or drive in Malawi's fascinating parks and reserves.
Situated just south of Blantyre in the Lower Shire Valley in Malawi, Majete has taken on a new lease of life since a management change in 2003 and is well on its way to becoming a Big Five reserve. Large translocations of game to this 70 000 hectare Reserve have boosted the animal stocks considerably. Black Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, Zebra, Hartebeest and many antelope species including Kudu and Roan can be found here.
Many more ambitious projects are underway. Fencing has been put in place and other translocations planned to further increase the existing animal stock. Leopards were re-located from the Kruger National Park in South Africa and Lion are to be reintroduced soon.
The aim is to restore Majete to the state that it was before human intervention making it a premier Big Five safari destination in Malawi. Leopards were the first to be reintroduced as they have less of an impact on prey populations.
Another major attraction of Majete is the Kapichira Falls, with stunning views and rock formations worn and created over thousands of years. There is a luxury tented camp and a community campsite with various activities now available.
See Majete Wildlife Reserve accommodation.
Rising like a large granite dome in the north of Malawi, the Nyika Plateau is a unique upland which provides a natural environment unlike any other. The National Park covers the whole plateau, and consists of rolling grassy hills, sheer escarpments and forested valleys. The grasslands are rich with wildflowers and in the rainy season many types of orchids can be seen.
This is the largest and oldest National Park in Malawi. Most parts lie about 2 000 metres above sea level. The plateau is perfect for game drives and horseback safaris, as well as walks through the long grass. One of the most popular ways to see the region is to set out on a ten day Malawi Horse Safari.
The plateau is an important water catchment area in Malawi. The streams and dams are stocked with trout and visitors can enjoy fishing, see waterfalls and even take a trip to a magic lake. While the park is not home to the Big Five, animals that can be seen include Eland, Zebra, Roan, Waterbuck and smaller antelope as well.
This area is reputed to have the highest concentration of Leopard in Central Africa. Elephant and Rhino live on the lower ground; however this area is not easily accessible. On night drives various animals can be seen, including Hyena, Jackal and Owls or maybe even a shy Leopard.
There is a small airstrip near Chelinda Camp for access by air, otherwise the drive from Rumphi is uncomplicated, although it is mostly on dirt roads which are very rough, and a 4x4 vehicle is a must during the rainy season.
See Nyika National Park accommodation.
Located in the south of Malawi with the Shire River on its border, Liwonde National Park is considered to be Malawi's premier park, and is a must for visitors. This Malawi National Park has fabulous scenery and is well managed. Animal stocks include large numbers of interesting animals such as a great many Hippos and Crocodiles, herds (in their hundreds) of Elephant, Zebra and other antelope which come down to the water to drink.
There are only 2 types of accommodation in Liwonde National Park, a camp and a lodge, and visitors should be aware that Hippos often come up onto the lawns to feed at night. Expert guides take visitors on guided walks, boat trips and also night drives. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, and their bush lore is fascinating, as they give guests an insight into the lives of many animals.
Poor roads in the rainy season make the accommodation hard to access, but arriving by boat is the way to go, visitors can park near the jetty on the opposite side, raise the red flag provided and staff from the camp will come across the water to make the transfer.
Lake Malawi National Park
The Lake Malawi National Park incorporates the beautiful Cape Maclear, a World Heritage Site. The park lies in the south of the country, and is the world's first freshwater park. It includes the land area around the cape and bay, as well as the Lake and islands as far as 100 metres offshore.
These waters are an absolute delight for snorkelling enthusiasts. There is also boating and canoeing on offer. There are 600 species of the colourful Malawi Cichlids, which are endemic here. This diversity of freshwater fish is unequalled in the entire world. The abundant freshwater fish will feed directly from your hand while snorkelling in Lake Malawi.
In the surrounding areas, various animals and birds can be found, including Baboons, antelope, Hyrax, Fish eagles, Hamerkops and Cormorants. There are a number of excellent places to stay, all of which offer many exciting activities. There are even some beautiful romantic island hideaways.
Kasungu is Malawi's second largest National Park after Nyika, and is located in the central region of the country. The landscape covers 2 000km (1243 miles) and consists of woodland and bush, grassland and rolling hills, with a small lake and a wide marshy river course. Hippos are established at the lake and an estimated 300 Elephant remain after serious poaching in the past.
Buffalo, Zebra, Leopard, Jackal, Serval and antelope are all present here, as well as a wide variety of birds. Due to recent efforts, animal stocks and the accessibility of the Park have been improved, and it can now be toured in regular vehicles.
There is a lodge in the Park offering game drives and guided walks. Kasungu is only 160km (100 miles) from Lilongwe. The park also has many important Iron Age archaeological sites. The Park is Generally closed in March, as it is inaccessible due to the wet weather.
Vwaza Marsh Game Reserve
The government camp here closed down in 2007, and this may be the reason the reserve is not more popular, but it is a rewarding experience because of the stunning scenery and high concentration of game. There are private lodges nearby where guests can stay. This reserve lies in the north of the country on the Zambian border, and is a backpacker's delight. It is very accessible from Rumphi by car or public transport.
There are wonderful walks around Lake Kazuni (you must be accompanied by a game ranger) as well as 4x4 trails around the reserve. Animals resident around the lake include: many Hippos, Elephant and Buffalo. Many other smaller animals can also be seen, and the birdlife is excellent, with around 300 species recorded in the reserve.
Situated in the south, 75km (47 miles) from Blantyre, this is the most southern of all the parks. This area is ideal for sugar cane production and much of the surrounding area has been taken over by plantations.
The Park has wonderful scenery; the waterholes are great places to spend some time bird watching and also taking walks in the bush. The park has large herds of Nyala as well as many smaller antelope. Baboons, Leopard and Hyena also reside here but are seen less often. There is only one place to stay in the reserve Nyala Safari Lodge.
This is Malawi's smallest reserve, located on the most southern tip of the country. It is remote and can only be accessed with a 4x4 vehicles or on foot; nonetheless, it has a variety of habitats not seen in the larger reserves and an untouched feel about it.
Game rangers can arrange guided walks and hikes, and the Mwabvi Rivers attractive rocky banks provide lovely spots from which to admire the scenery. A conservation project is underway to restore the reserve, a joint partnership between government and local communities to put various plans in place to uplift the region though eco-tourism.
Nkhotakota Game Reserve
Located in the central region, this is the largest game reserve in Malawi. Unfortunately the roads are just about inaccessible, but excellent walking safaris are possible with the services of a ranger or guide.
There are plans to improve the facilities and game management, which in the past have been left to their own devices. Currently facilities in the reserve are limited to camping, but lodges along Lake Malawi shore offer accommodation and can organise day trips into the reserve.
Malawi is a long thin landlocked country, graced with Africa's third largest lake - Lake Malawi. This massive inland sea stretches 584km (350 miles) down the eastern side of the country. It has four busy ports and hundreds of fishing villages.

About Mark Isarin
The Dutch conceptual fine-art and portrait photographer Mark Isarin studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, Netherlands and is an independent photographer for almost 20 years. He practices photography with a passion for art, passion for the models and passion for the people he works with and for. Because people always remain intriguing and interesting to photograph. One of his favourite quotes comes from the famous jazz trumpeter Miles Davis: "The perfection and emotion of art is in the small, beautiful, but sometimes imperfect details". The frayed edge is so beautiful…
He is specialized in portraits of people in the light of the ancient Dutch master painters from the Golden Age, such as Rembrandt van Rijn and Johannes Vermeer. Photos in which the light always plays the most important role and, at the same time, is brought back to the very essence.
In addition to fine-art portraits he makes layered photographic images of urban environments and landscapes. Most recent of New York City , Ireland and his hometown Dordrecht, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. Often these layered images are printed on transparent materials such as acrylic or glass, so that they remain transparent.
He organises regular master classes in the Netherlands and abroad, amongst others in Normandy, France and New York City; the same city where some of his layered, transparent images have been created.
"Light, everything revolves around light in his work."
Perhaps an open door, for without light there is not much to photograph. Yet it is that special quality of light in a photo, next to the uniqueness of the model, which is actually the only thing he is looking for.
He approaches photography as an art form. Which means that he tries to come to the image he sees in his head on forehand, as close as possible. The technique comes in second place. Not that the technical side of the art of photography is unimportant, on the contrary. The fact that he sees photography as an art form is not a license to muddle through technically. However, the result is the only thing that counts. Whether you achieve that with a compact camera, I-phone or the most expensive camera and lenses, is less important to Mark Isarin. Often a relief for his students who believe that you could only achieve interesting images with expensive gear.
Often he is somewhat suspicious at a meeting with colleague photographers when their first question is with what kind of gear he works. You don't ask a sculptor what chisels, gouges and other tools he used to make a sculpture. Or a painter which brushes he used to make that magnificent painting. The tools are not interesting. Expensive stuff is no guarantee for good pictures.
Mark Isarin likes to work in series of images and portraits, which together interpret a theme and coherent concept. Before a series is established, he starts with sketches. You can find his sketchbooks everywhere, both at home and in his studio or back pocket. Throughout the year he scribbles all kind of ideas in these sketchbooks. Often these ideas develop in larger plans. Then he starts looking for models and tries to visualize what the images should look like in detail and what the end result should be.

Q: Communication Between Unrelated Objects Background
I'm creating a rhythm app for MIDI drumming using SpriteKit on Mac OS. Note objects are the ones in green and blue below. The notes move from right to left on the screen. As the notes get closer to the "play bar" in red, I want to create an outline of the notes next to the play bar to indicate to the user that the notes are getting close to the play bar and that it's time to play soon.

The Problem
I need each Note object to notify another class called Sequencer when they get a certain distance from the play head so that it can start the note outline animation for the closest note. The notes know how far they are from the play head, so that's not a problem. Would delegation be a candidate for this situation? I have tried to understand the purpose of delegation, but I can never figure out how to implement it into my specific game-related situation.
